A fen wor osini seni ewe fansoun Isaiah¹ pwe non ekkewe ran soponon, noun ewe Samon kewe aramas pwon, ewe imwen Israel, repwe “ioifengenionong seni ar nakatamen toropaseno, seni ekkewe fonuen neset, me seni ekkewe ruanu kinikinin fonufan”² me niwinsefanito ngeni “ekkewe fonuen ar kewe neuo.”³ Preseten Russell M. Nelson a fen porous fan chommong non pochokun ussun ei ochufengen, a eita ngeni “ewe mettoch a kon auchea a fis won fonufan ikenai.”⁴

Met popun ewe ochufengen?

Ren pwarata ngeni ewe Soufos Joseph Smith, ewe Samon a affata ew popun usun ewe tumunun ekkewe aramas pwon. I a apasa, “Ewe ochufengen won ewe fonuen Zion, me won an kewe steik, [epwe] pekin eppet, me ren nenien op seni ewe monumon, me seni watten song nupwen epwe niu nge ese wor nofitin won unusen ewe fonufan.”⁵ “Watten song” non ei nikinik meni epwe weweoch pwe ina pukupukun pungunon anneasonap a chou fetan ngeni annuk me annukun Kot.

Akkauchean, ewe ochufengen ren ewe popun wato ekkewe feiochun angangen amanaua me manau tekia ngeni meinisin ion repwe angeir. Iei ussun ekkewe pwon mi pin ra kawor ngeni Abraham ra katou. Ewe Samon a ureni Abraham pwe seni mwirimwirin me pristut “meinisin ekkewe faminien fonufan [repwe] feioch, pwan mwo ren ekkewe feiochun ewe Kapas Annim, minne ikana ekkewe feiochun amanau, pwan mwo manau ese much.”⁶ Preseten Nelson a awewei iei ussun: “Nupwen sia etiwa ewe kapas allim me sia papatais, sia wata woch iten Jises Kraist mi pin. 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.”⁷

Non 1836, Moses a pwa ngeni ewe Soufos Joseph Smith non ewe Kirtland Tempel me “atoura … ekkewe kien ewe ioni fengeni Israel seni ekkewe ruanu kinikinin ewe fonufan”⁸ Non chok pwan na fansoun, Elias a pwato me “wato ewe kinikinin fansoun ewe kapas allimen Abraham, a apasa pwe non kich me mwirimwirich meinisin tappin aramas mwirich repwe feioch.”⁹ Ren ei mumuta, iei sia uwei ewe kapas annimen Jises Kraist—ewe porousoch ren ngaseno me non I—ngeni meinisin kinikinin me aramasen ewe fonufan me ioni fengeni meinisin ion epwe tonong non ewe pwonen ewe kapas annim. Ra winiti “mwirimwirin Abraham, me ewe mwichefen me muu, me ra kefinita meren Kot.”¹⁰

Non chok pwan ewe fansoun non ewe Kirtland Tempel mi wor ounumonun chon nang a pwa ngeni Joseph Smith me Oliver Cowdery. Ua kapas ussun ewe soufos Elijah, me ewe mumuta me kewe kii a eniwinato ewe ua mochen kapas ussun ikenai.¹¹ Ewe manaman ne opungano meinisin an pristut angangepin me fori ar repwe fofo fengen won fonufan me non nang—ewe manamanen riri fengen—ina kien ochufengeni me amonata ew aramas pwon won ir me ruepek ewe eppet.

Ekkewe nier me mwan, Moroni a fen fori fateochun ngeni pwe Joseph Smith pwe Elijah epwe wato ekkewe auchean mumutan pristut: “Upwe pwar ngenikemi ewe Pristut, seni pou Elijah ewe soufos.”¹² Joseph Smith a awewei mwirin: “Pwata tinato Elijah? Pokiten i a amochu ekkewe kien mumuta ne fori ekkewe angangepin ren ewe Pristut; me [tiwenon chok] ewe mumuta a kawor, ekkewe angangepin resap tongeni fis angangan non pung,”¹³ika ina, ekkewe angangepin resap pung non fansoun me fein feino.¹⁴

Non eu afanafan iei mi fat non kewe pukefel non ewe Doctrine and Covenants, ewe Soufos a apasa: “Enip epwe nikinikin uwekisin pochokun ngeni ekkoch mine sia kapas usun—eu manaman mine mi afat ika ririfengen non fonufan me ririfengen non nang. Inamo, non meinisin ierin ewe fonufan, inet chok ewe Samon a fen awora ew kinikinin fansoun ren ewe pristut ngeni ese nifinifin aramas seni ennetin pwarata, ika ese nifinifin sokkun mwan, ei manaman a kawor iteitan. Ina minne, met ekkewe mwan ra fori non mumuta, non iten ewe Samon, me fori ren ennetin me nikitu, me isoni ew pungun me nikitun rekotun pwan ewe chok, a winiti ew annuk won fonufan me non nang, me ese tongeni epwe kouno, anongonong ngeni ewe annukun ewe Jehovah mi napanap.”¹⁵

Sia soun ekieki ussun ewe mumutan riri fengen ussun a fis ngenii chok ekkoch angangepin non tempel, nge ena mumuta mi auchea ne fori angangepin a murino ngeni me ochu fengeni mwirin mano.¹⁶ Ewe manamanen riri fengen a awora ew ririn pungoch won ami papatais, ren awewe, pwe epwe sinnino ikei me non nang. Omuchunon, meinisin angangepin ren pristut ra fis fan kiien ewe Presetenin ewe Mwichefen, me usun Preseten Joseph Fielding Smith a awewei: “I [ewe Presetenin ewe Mwichefen] a ngeni kich mumuta, i a wanong ewe manamanen riri non ach pristut, pokiten i a amochu ekkena kii.”¹⁷

Mi pwan wor ew auchean popun non ewe ion fengenin Israel ewe a wor auchean wewen nupwen sia porous ussun riri fengen won fonufan me non nang—ina ewe koutan me angangen ekkewe tempel. Ewe Soufos Joseph Smith a aitikich: “Met ewe popun ewe ionfengenin ekkewe … noun Kot kewe aramas non och fansoun ewe fonufan? … Ewe popunapen pwe epwe kauta ngeni ewe Samon ew imw ikewe ia I a tongeni pwarata ngeni noun aramas ekkewe angangepin ren Imwan me ningan An we muu, o aiti ekkewe aramas ewe aanen amanau; pun mi wor ekkoch angangepin me annuk pwe, nupwen ra kaeo me achocho ngeniir, mi namwot pwe repwe fis non ew neni are imw mi kauta ngeni ena popun.”¹⁸

Ewe pungun pwe ewe manamanen riri fengen a kawor ngeni angangepinen pristut a pachenong, ewer, angangepin fan iten emon a fis non ewe neni a kefinita seni ewe Samon—An tempel. Ikei sia kuna ewe amwararen me pinin ewe manamanen riri fengen—a fori ew me ew angangen amanaua me manau tekia an famini epwe kawor ngeni ekkewe semirit noun Kot ian me inet ra nom ian won fonufan. Ese pwan wor ew sukunen Kot ika nuku ika mumuta a tongeni nonno ngeni ei sokkun unusen tufich. Ei manamanen riri fengen ina ew unusochun pwaratan ewe pungoch, umoumoch, me tong an Kot.

Pokiten ewe mumuta ne emwen non ekkei angangepin mi fokkun pin, ewe Presetenin ewe Mwichefen a pwisin ewisa ngeni ekkoch. President Gordon B. Hinckley a apasa fan ew, “Ua fen apasa fan chommong pwe ika ese pwan wor met a tou seni meinisin ekkewe netipengaw me aweiresin me metekin ewe niwinsefanito nap seni ewe manamanen ririfengen an ewe pristut mi pin ne ochufengeni ekkewe famini feinfeino, epwe fen namot riaffoun we.”²¹

Non ewe angangen peias ren Sister Pat Holland, punuwen Elter Jeffrey R. Holland, non ewe July a no, Preseten Russell M. Nelson a afanafana: “Non fansoun, Patricia me Jeffrey repwe chusefan.
