ʻOku ʻilo ʻe Siosefa Sāmita he ʻikai lava ke taʻofi e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá

Ne aʻu ki he konga ki loto ʻo Sune 1828, kuo liliu ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, mo Māteni Hālisi ko e tangata tohí, ʻa e peesi ʻe 116 ʻo e tohi fakamatala totonu mei he ʻū peleti koulá. Naʻe kole ʻe Māteni kia Siosefa ke fakangofua ia ke ʻalu mo e tohi fakamatala totonú ke “lau ki hono kaungāmeʻá pea [mahalo] naʻá ne lava ke fakalotoʻi kinautolu ki he moʻoní” (Histories, Volume 1:Joseph Smith Histories, 1832–1844, vol. 1 of the Histories series of The Joseph Smith Papers [2012], 15). Naʻe hū ʻa Siosefa ki he ʻEikí mo e kole ʻa Mātení ka naʻe fakahā ange ke ʻoua naʻa tukuange ʻa e tohi fakamatala totonú meiate ia. Naʻe fakalotoʻi ʻe Māteni ʻa Siosefa ke ne toe kole—ʻa ia naʻe hoko ai hano fakafisingaʻi hono ua mei he ʻEikí.

Ka neongo ia, ne maumauʻi ʻe Māteni ʻene fakapapaú pea naʻe mole ʻa e tohi fakamatala totonú. Koeʻuhí ne ʻikai tali ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ʻuluaki faleʻi ʻa e ʻEikí ka ne tukuange “e meʻa ʻoku toputapú ki he nima ʻo e tangata fai angahalá” (T&F 3:12), ne ʻave ai ʻe Molonai e ʻū lauʻi peletí mo e ʻŪlimí mo e Tūmemí mei he Palōfitá. Ka neongo ia, naʻe fakahā kia Siosefa te ne lava ʻo toe maʻu ia kapau te ne “loto-fakatōkilalo mo loto-fakatomala” (Lucy Mack Smith, History of Joseph Smith by His Mother, ed.

ʻI hoʻo fakakaukau ki he meʻa ʻokú ke ʻilo fekauʻaki mo Māteni Hālisí mo e meʻa kotoa pē kuó ne fai maʻa Siosefa Sāmitá, ʻokú ke pehē ko e hā naʻe vilitaki ai ʻa Siosefa ʻi he kole ki he ʻOtuá pe ʻe lava ke ʻave ʻe Māteni e tohi fakamatala totonú, neongo kuo ʻosi ʻoange ʻe he ʻOtuá ha tali mahino ʻi he ʻuluaki taimi ʻe ua naʻá ne kole aí?
