Ewe Pwon mi pin Ese Much

Papatais ina ewe tit mi emwen ngeni ach winiti chon angei ekkewe pwon meinisin mi kawor me nom me ren ewe Samon ngeni Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, me mwirimwirir kewe.1

Eu apupunun pwon mi pin a fis non ewe tempel mi riri wenewen ngeni ena pwonen Abraham.

Ekkei feioch a mut ngeni kich, atun manausefan, ach sipwe “angei ekkewe mwotun king, muu, manaman, neni, nemenem, ngeni ach manau mi tekia me ning non mettoch meinisin’ [Doctrine and Covenants 132:19].”4
Nesoponon ekkewe mak non ewe Testamen Noom, sia anneani usun an Malachi pwon pwe Elijah epwe “akkunu netipen ekkewe sam ngeni ekkewe semirit, me netipen ekkewe semirit ngeni semer kewe” (Malachi 4:6).

Ei pwon a fateno nupwen sia anneani ewe pwan eu kinikin ei uwokisin Moronai mi sokkono a mak sefan ngeni ewe Soufos Joseph Smith: Ii [Elijah] epwe fotuki non netipen ekkewe semirit ekkewe pwon a for ngeni ekkewe sam, me netipen ekkewe semirit repwe kun ngeni semer kewe (Joseph Smith—History 1:39). Ekkena sam ennetin me pachenong Abraham, Isaac, me Jacob. (Nengeni Doctrine and Covenants 27:9–10.)
Jises Kraist: Ewe Ionapen ewe Pwon mi pin
An ewe Chon Amanau asoren achasefan a atufichi ewe Sam an epwe apwonueta An kewe pwon mi for ngeni Noun semirit. Pokiten Jises Kraist i “ewe ann, ewe ennet o ewe manau,” a tapw pwe “ese wor emon epwe feinno ren ewe Sam, ika esspw punun [I].” (John 14:6). Ewe pwonutan ewe pwonen Abraham a tufich pokiten ewe Achasefan an ach we Chon Amanau, ewe Samon Jises Kraist. Jises Kraist i ewe Ionapen ewe pwonen Abraham.
Ewe Testamen Noom esap chok eu puken pukefel; a pwan eu puken uruo. En mi chechemeni om anneani usun ewe apupunu an Sarai me Abram. Pokiten ese wor nour semirit, Sarai a fang noun ewe chon angang, Hagar, pwe epwe pwan punuwen Abram, anongonong won an ewe Samon emwen. Hagar a nounatiw Ishmael.5 Abram a tongei Ishmael, nge i esap ewe semirit minne ewe pwon mi pin epwe feito seni. (Nengeni Genesis 11:29–30; 16:1, 3, 11; Doctrine and Covenants 132:34.)
Ren eu feioch seni Kot, me ren ponuwan an Sarai nuku,5 i a pwopwo non an ierin chinnap pwe ewe pwon mi pin epwe feito seni noun at, Isaac (nengeni Genesis 17:19). A uputiw me non ewe pwon mi pin.
Kot a ngeni Sarai me Abram minafon it—Sarah me Abraham (nengeni Genesis 17:5, 15). Ewe kaworen ekkena minafon it a eisinnata ewe nepoputan eu minafon manau me eu minafon fetanin manau ren ei famini.
Abraham a tongei ir me ruemon Ishmael me Isaac. Kot a ureni Abraham pwe Ishmael epwe nounoutiw chommong me winiti ew muu mi nap (nengeni Genesis 17:20). Non ena chok fansoun, Kot a affataochu pwe ewe pwon mi pin ese much epwe fisita seni Isaac (nengeni Genesis 17:19).
Meinisin ekkewe ra etiwa ewe kapas allim ra winiti kinikinin mwirimwirin Abraham. Non Galatia sia anneani:
“Ren chommong me neimi oua fen paptaiseno non Kraist oua pwinitanong Kraist.
“… Ami meinisin oua eu non Kraist Jises.
“Ika ami noun Kraist, iwe ami murimurin Abraham, iwe oupwe angei minne Kot a pwonei.” (Galatians 3:27–29).
Ina, sia tongeni winiti chon angei ewe pwon mi pin seni ach upuptiw ika mumu ngeni.
Noun Isaac me Rebekah we at Jacob a uputiw me non ewe pwon mi pin. Mi pachenong, i a finata an epwe tonong won winikapan. Usun en mi sinei, iten Jacob a siwin ngeni Israel (nengeni Genesis 32:28), wewen “mut ngeni Kot epwe nemenem” ika “emon a nemenem ren Kot.”7
Non Exodus sia anneani pwe “Kot mi chechemeni an pwon mi pin ngeni Abraham, ngeni Isaac, me ngeni Jacob” (Exodus 2:24). Kot a ureni ekkewe noun Israel, “Ika oupwe aneasochisi neuwei, me apwonueta ai pwon mi pin, iwe oupwe eu sokkonon pisek mi unusen auchea ngeniei (Exodus 19:5).
Ekkewe foun kapas “sokkonon pisek mi auchea” a chiaku seni ewe fosun Hebrew segullah, wewen eu pisek mi fokkun namot—eu “pisek mi auchea.”8
Ewe puken Deuteronomy a aporousa sefani ewe auchean ewe pwon mi pin. Aposel non ewe Testamen Sofo ir mi sinei usun ei pwon mi pin. Mwirin an Peter echikara emon mwan mi mwok won naton ewe tempel, i a aiti ekkewe chon katon usun Jises. Peter a apasa, “Ewe Koten Abraham, me Isaac, me Jacob, ewe Koten semach kewe, a eningano Noun we Jises” (Acts 3:13).
Peter a asopano an porous ren an ereni noun kewe aramas, “Ami semiriten ekkewe soufos, me seni ewe pwon mi pin minne Kot a fori ngeni samach kewe, a apasa ngeni Abraham, me non mwirimwirum meinisin aramasen ewe fonufan repwe feioch” (Acts 3:25). Peter a affataochu ngenir pwe kinikinin an Kraist we misin pwe epwe apwonueta an Kot pwon mi pin.
Ewe Samon a pwan afanafana usun chok ngeni ekkewe aramasen Merika me nom. Ikewe, ewe Kraist mi manausefan a ereni ekkewe aramas wesewesen ir ion. A apasa:
“Ami ekkewe noun ekkewe soufos; me ami seni ewe imwen Israel; me ami chon ewe pwon mi pin minne ewe Sam a fori ngeni sememi kewe, a apasa ngeni Abraham: Iwe me ren mwirimwirum meinisin ewe fonufan repwe feioch.
“Ewe Sam a fen amanauaeita ngenikemi akkom, me tinieito pwe upwe efeiochukemi ren an aukatiw emon me emon ami seni ami angangangaw; iwe ei pokiten ami ekkewe semiriten ewe pwon mi pin” (3 Nephi 20:25–26).
Ka kuna auchean ei? Ekkewe ir ra apwonueta ar pwon mi pin ngeni Kot repwe winiti ngun mi pochokun ne ungeni tipis! Ekkewe ir ra apwonueta ar pwon mi pin epwe wor rer ewe pochokun ne ungeni ekkewe sossotun ei fonufan.
Angangen misineri: Afanafana ewe Pwon mi pin
Ewe Samon a annuku pwe sipwe aparasa ewe kapas allim me afanafana ewe pwon mi pin. Ina popun a wor nouch misineri. A anean meinisin Noun semirit epwe wor rer ewe tufich ne fini an ewe Chon Amanau kapas allim me fiti ewe aanen pwon mi pin. Kot a mochen achufengeni aramas meinisin ngeni ewe pwon mi pin I a fori me nom ren Abraham.
Ina, angangen misineri eu auchean kinikinin ewe watten achufengenin Israel. Ena achufengen ina ewe angang mi kon auchea a fis won fonufan ikenai. Ese pwan wor och mettoch mi nonno ngeni wachemwukan. Ese pwan wor och mettoch mi nonno ngeni auchean. Noun ewe Samon misineri—Noun chon kuno—ra fiti ewe tes mi nap, ewe mwokutukut mi nap, ewe angang mi nap won fonufan ikenai.
Nge a wor pwan chommong—wesewesen chommong. Mi wor eu watten namoten ach sipwe aparasano ewe kapas allim ngeni aramas won ewe epekin ewe eppet. Kot a mochen meinisin, ekkewe mi manau me mi mano, ar repwe pwapwaiti feiochun An we pwon mi pin. Ewe aanen pwon mi pin mi suk ngeni meinisin. Sia sio ngeni meinisin repwe fiti kich ne fetan won ena aan. Ese pwan wor eu angang mi unusen ochunapa. Pun “ewe Samon mi uren umoumoch ngeni ekkewe meinisin repwe, non ennetin netiper, kokkori itan we mi pin” (Ilaman 3:27).
Pokiten ewe Melkisetek Pristut a fen niwinsefan, mwan me fefin mi apwonueta ar pwon mi pin a wor rer ewe mumuta ngeni meinisin ekkewe feiochun ngun ren ewe kapas allim (Doctrine and Covenants 107:18; auchean mi kapacheta).
Atun efeiochun ewe Kirtland Tempel non 1836, fan emwenien ewe Samon, Elijah a pwato. An popun? Epwe okunnu … ekkewe semirit ngeni ekkewe sam” (Doctrine and Covenants 110:15). Elias a pwan pwato. An popun? Epwe ngeni Joseph Smith me Oliver Cowdery ewe kinikinin fansoun ewe kapas allimen Abraham, a apasa pwe non kich me mwirimwirich kewe meinisin tappin aramas mwirich repwe feioch (Doctrine and Covenants 110:12). Iwe, ewe Masta a wata won Joseph Smith me Oliver Cowdery mwumwutan pristut me ewe pung ne uwei ekkewe feioch mi sokkono seni ewe pwonen Abraham ngeni ekkoch.9
