“… Non ekkewe porousen an Kraist uputiw, sia tongeni kuna me mefi ion I me akkom me ion I iei. Ena a appanano osach non ach sai. Me epwe emweni kich ach sipwe monnukano inisich me appano osen ekkoch.”¹

“Ese chuwen wor neenier non ewe imwen wasona”(Luke 2:7)

Ewe chon tumunu imwen wasona a kichingaw ne awora neenien ewe Chon Amanau, nge sisap pwan fori ena mwan! Kich mi tongeni awora ne neenien ewe Chon Amanau non netipach ren ach awora neni fan iten pwich me fefinach ren ach kewe cheipen, non imwach, me non ach oreni.

Chechemeni pwe I a etiwa “meinisin pwe repwe feito ngeni I me angei seni an kirekiroch; iwe ese amam emon epwe feito ngeni I, chon me pwechepwech, chon fotek me chon ngaseno, mwan me fefin; iwe I a chechemeni ewe ese sinei namanam; me meinisin ra nonno chok ngeni Kot, ir me ru chon Jew me chon Gentile” (2 Nifai 26:33). Awora neni me fori epwe wor chon pachenong.

“Non ewe neeni a wor ekkoch chon manmasa siip ra mammasa nour kewe pwiin siip neman non ewe pwinin” (Luke 2:8)

Mi fen fich pwe chon masen siip ir repwe nom nein ekkewe aewin repwe kapong ngeni ewe monukon Chon Amanau. Soufosun nom ra apasa pwe Jises Kraist I ewe “Chon Masen Israel” (Konupin 80:1) me ewe “Chon Masen Siip won unusen ewe fonufan” (1 Nifai 13:41).

“Ekkewe chon masen siip ra kapas fengen nefiner, Sipwe ne feinno Bethlehem” (Luke 2:15)
