“ʻE toki pehē ʻe he tangata potó: ʻOku ʻikai te u lava ʻo lau ia” (2 Nīfai 27:18).

Naʻe fakahoko ʻe Māteni Hālisi, ko ha kaungāmeʻa ʻo Siosefa Sāmita, ʻi he 1828 ha “fononga fakahahake ki he Kolo Niu ʻIoké mo ha liliu ʻe niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi mataʻitohi kuo liliu ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peleti [koulá] ke fakahā ki ha kau tangata poto. Mahalo naʻá ne fie maʻu ha ngaahi fakapapauʻi makehe ki hono moʻoni ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peletí, pe mahalo naʻe fakakaukau ʻe tokoni ange ha fakamoʻoni ke nau nō ha paʻanga ke pulusi ʻa e meʻa kuo liliú. Neongo pe ko e hā, ka naʻá ne vilitaki naʻe ueʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí ke ne fakahoko e fonongá.

“ʻI he taimi ko ʻení, naʻe ʻikai ke lahi e ʻilo ʻa Siosefá pe ko Māteni ki he lea fakafonua he ngaahi lauʻi peletí. Naʻe ngata pē ʻena ʻiló ʻi he meʻa naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻāngelo ko Molonaí kia Siosefá: ko ha lekooti faka-ʻAmelika ia ʻi he kuonga muʻá. ʻI heʻene peheé, naʻe ʻikai ke ne kumi ha taha poto ʻi he lea faka-ʻIsipité (ka ne toki ʻilo kimui ʻe Siosefa ko e lea fakafonua ʻi he ngaahi lauʻi peletí naʻe ui ko e ʻlea faka-ʻIsipite foʻou’), ka ne ʻalu ʻa Māteni ki ha kau poto kehekehe naʻe mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he ngaahi koloa motuʻá, tautau-tefito ki he ngaahi koloa ʻAmelika motuʻá.

“… [Naʻe kau ʻi he kau poto naʻe ʻaʻahi ki ai ʻa Mātení] ʻa Sālesi ʻAnitoni, ko ha palōfesa kei siʻi ʻo e kalamá mo e ngaahi lea fakafonuá ʻi he ʻUnivēsiti Kolomupiá. Naʻe tānaki ʻe ʻAnitoni ha ngaahi talanoa mo ha ngaahi lea ʻa e Kau ʻInitia ʻAmeliká ke pulusi pea naʻe vēkeveke ke sio ki he tohi naʻe haʻu mo Mātení.

“Naʻe pehē ʻe Māteni naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻAnitoni ʻoku moʻoni ʻa e ngaahi mataʻitohí kae tālunga ʻene aʻu mai ki he founga hono maʻu kinautolu ʻe Siosefa Sāmitá. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ange ke ʻomi ʻe Māteni kiate ia e ʻū lauʻi peletí. Naʻe ʻikai ke tali ʻeni ʻe Māteni, pea talaange ʻe ʻAnitoni, ʻo ne fakalea ʻiate ia pē ha veesi mei he tohi ʻa ʻĪsaiá, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ke u lava ʻo lau ha tohi kuo fakamaʻu.’ Neongo naʻe fakaʻikaiʻi kimui ʻe ʻAnitoni ʻa e fakaikiiki ʻo e fakamatala ʻa Māteni ki heʻena fetaulakí, ka ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ʻeni: Naʻe foki mai ʻa Māteni mei heʻenau talanoa mo e kau poto ʻo e hahaké kuó ne fakapapauʻi lahi ange ʻo laka ange ʻi ha toe taimi kimuʻa ko Siosefa Sāmitá naʻe uiuiʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá pea ko e ʻū lauʻi peletí mo e ngaahi tohí naʻe fakakuonga muʻa ia. Naʻá ne lau mo Siosefa ʻa e talanoa mo ʻAnitoní ko ha fakahoko ia ʻo e kikite ʻa ʻĪsaiá (ʻoku toe hā pē ia ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná) ʻo ‘ha tohi kuo fakamaʻu, naʻe ʻoange ki ha taha poto mo pehē, Lau ʻeni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe: peá ne pehē, ʻe ʻikai ke u lava; he kuo fakamaʻu ia’ [ ʻĪsaia 29:11; vakai foki, 2 Nīfai 27:15–18]” (“The Contributions of Martin Harris,” Revelations in Context [2016], 3–4, history.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
