Kōjeram̧m̧an in petriak eo aō ekar aorōk n̄an n̄a ke ikar dik kōn elōn̄ un ko. Kein kajuon, kajoor eo an Jetōb Kwojarjar, kōjeraam̧m̧an in petriak eo aō ekar jipan̄ n̄a meļeļe kōn lukkuun wōn n̄a n̄an indeeo—lukkuun wōn n̄a im wōn imaron̄ erom̧. Ekar jipan̄ n̄a jeļā, āinwōt an Būreejtōn Nelson kar katakin, bwe n̄aij “juon ļaddik nejin Anij,” “juon [ajri] in bujen,” im “juon rikaloor an Jisōs Kraist.”5 Ikar jeļā bwe kar kile eō im iakwe jān Jemedwōj Ilan̄ im aō Rilo̧mo̧o̧r im bwe Erro make rekar bōk koņaer ilo mour eo aō.

Ikar kaju en̄jake bwe—kōn kajoor in ta eo ekar ba—kar kile iō ilo iakwe im ekanooj in ļap. Naan ko ekar ba rekar un̄ūr aolepen ānbwinū. Ikar jeļā bwe Jemedwōj Ilan̄ ekar jeļā wōn n̄a, itulowa im namōj.”

Jeļā lukkuun wōn n̄a ekar jipan̄ n̄an meļeļe im ikideelel n̄an kōm̧m̧ane ta eo Anij ekōnaan jān eō.6

Menin ekar jipan̄ n̄a n̄an ekkatak bujen ko ikar kōm̧m̧ani im kallim̧ur in kōjeraam̧m̧an ko ilo bujen eo an Anij ippān Ebream.7 Eaar letok n̄an n̄a juon reimaanļo̧k eo indeeo bwe ekar kadeel n̄a n̄an kōjparok bujen ko eļapļo̧k.

Menin ekar kōļapļo̧k ikdeelel eo aō n̄an aolep iien karuwainene meram, m̧ool, im Jetōb Kwojarjar ilo ekkatak jeje ko rekwojarjar im jar aolep raan im ekkatak im ļoor katakin ko an rikanaan im rijiļōk ro an Anij. Kōjeraam̧m̧an in petriak eo aō ekar barāinwōt jipan̄ n̄an koikdeelel n̄an pokake eļapļo̧k n̄an ankilaan Jemedwōj Ilan̄, im pedped in ekar jipan̄ n̄a en̄jake eļap m̧ōņōņō, jekdoon jekjek rot ko aō.8

Ij bōk kajoor in jetōb kajjojo iien ij ekkatak kōjeram̧m̧an in petriak eo aō. Ke jinō im jema rekar jepel, kōjeram̧m̧an in petriak eo aō, āinwōt an Būreejtōn Thomas S. Monson katakin, kar n̄an n̄a n̄an erom̧ “juon menin letok am̧ make aorōk im ejjeļo̧k wonāān,” em̧ool “juon am̧ make kam̧bōj.”9

Būreejtōn Nelson ekar kōmeļeļeik rainin āinwōt “juon tōre eo ej make wōt pen ilo bwebwenatoin laļ in,” juon laļ eo ej “obrak kōn jerawiwi” im “armej rej ļōmņak kōn er make.”11 Jeraam̧m̧an bwe jodikdik ro ad rainin eļap aer rūtto ilo kōlmenļo̧kjen jān n̄a ke ekar 12 aō iiō, im er barāinwōt ewōr aer kāālet aorōk n̄an kōm̧m̧ane ilo aer dik wōt!

Ak Ij jar bwe membōr ro rejan̄in bōk kōjeram̧m̧an in petriak eo aer renaaj jar n̄an kappukōt n̄an jeļā iien eo renaaj pojak.
