KETAPELE

Buka ya ga Momone ke buka ya lefoko la Modimo le le boitshe-pho go tshwana le Baebele. Ke pego e e kwadilweng ya ditiri-sanyo tsa Modimo le banni ba bogologolo ba Amerika mme e na lebotlalo jwa efangele e e senang bokhutlo.

Buka e kwadilwe ke baporofiti ba le bantsi ba bogologolo kamowa wa seporofiti le tshenolo. Mafoko a bone, a a kwadilwengmo dipapetlaneng tsa gauta, a tsewa jaaka a ntse a ba a khutshwa-fadiwa ke moporofiti le moitse-wa-ditso a bidiwa Momone. Pego ee kwadilweng e fa pego ka ga ditlhabologo tse dikgolo tse pedi.Nngwe e dule kwa Jerusalema ka ngwaga wa makgolo a marataropele ga ga Keresete (600 b.c.), mme morago ya kgaogana ka ditha-ba tse pedi, tse di itseweng e le Banifae le Baleimene. E nngwe etlile pele thata fa Morena a tlhakatlhakanya diteme kwa Kagong ee Godileng ya Beibele. Setlhopha se, se itsewe e le Bajarete. Mora-go ga dikete tsa dingwaga, botlhe ba ne ba nyelediwa, kwa ntle gaBaleimene, mme ke borraagwemogologolwane ba Baindia baAmerika.

Tiragalo ya konokono e e kwadilweng mo Bukeng ya ga Momo-ne ke tirelo ya Morena Jesu Keresete ka sebele gareng ga Banifaemorago fela ga tsogo ya gagwe. E baya pele dithuto tsa efangele, etlhalosa thulaganyo ya poloko, mme e bolelela batho se ba tshwa-netseng ba se dira go bona kagiso mo botshelong jono le poloko yabosakhutleng mo botshelong jo bo tlang.

Morago ga Momone a sena go fetsa mekwalo ya gagwe, o ne anaya pego go morwawe Moronae, yo a neng a latlhela mafoko a sekae a gagwe, mme, a fitlha dipapetlana kwa lentsweng la Khamora.Ka Lwetse a tlhola malatsi a le masome a mabedi le bongwe, kangwaga wa 1823, Moronae ene yoo, jaanong e le motshedi yo ogalaleditsweng yo o tsositsweng, a bonala kwa go Moporofiti JosephSmith mme a mo laela ka ga pego e e kwadilweng ya bogologolotala le maikaelelo a go e ranolela mo puong ya Sekgowa.

Mo nakong e e tshwanetseng, dipapetlana di ne tsa tlisiwa kwago Joseph Smith, yo o neng a di ranola ka mpho le thata yaModimo. Pego e e kwadilweng jaanong e gatisitswe le go anamisi-wa ka dipuo di le dintsi, e le bosupi jo bosha jo bo tlaletsang goreJesu Keresete ke Morwa Modimo o o tshelang le gore botlhe ba batlaa tlang kwa go ene mme ba obamela melao le ditlhomo tsaefangele ya gagwe ba ka bolokwa.

Mabapi le pego e e kwadilweng e, Moporofiti Joseph Smith o nea re: Ke boleletse bakaulengwe gore Buka ya ga Momone e ne e leya nnete thata mo go epe buka mo lefatsheng, mme ke pinagare ya

tumelo ya rona, mme motho o ka atamela go Modimo ka go saladithuto tsa yone morago, go na le ka epe buka e nngwe.

Mo godimo ga ga Joseph Smith, Morena o ne a dira gore babangwe ba le lesome le motso ba iponele dipapetlana tsa gauta legore ba tle ba nne basupi ba ba kgethegileng ba boammaaruri lebomodimo jwa Buka ya ga Momone. Bopaki jwa bone jo bo kwadi-lweng bo akareditswe mo e le Bopaki jwa Basupi ba Bararo leBopaki jwa Basupi ba ba Borobabobedi.

Re laletsa batho botlhe gongwe le gongwe go bala Buka ya gaMomone le go akanya ka boteng molaetsa o o mo go yone modipelong tsa bone, mme jaanong foo go botsa Modimo, Rara waBosakhutleng, mo leineng la ga Keresete, fa buka e e le boammaa-ruri. Bao ba ba salang tsela e morago, mme ba botsa ka tumelo batlaa amogela bopaki jwa boammaaruri le bomodimo jwa yone, kathata ya Mowa o o Boitshepho. (Bona Moronae 10:35.)

Bao ba ba amogelang bosupi jo, jwa semodimo go tswa go Mowa oo Boitshepho ba tlaa tla go itse gape ka thata ya Mowa o o Boitshe-pho gore Jesu Keresete ke Mmoloki wa lefatshe, le gore JosephSmith ke mosenodi le moporofiti wa gagwe mo malatsing a abofelo, le gore Kereke ya ga Jesu Keresete ya Baitshephi ba Malatsia Bofelo ke motse wa bogosi jwa Morena gangwe gape o tlhomi-lwe mo lefatsheng, go baakanyetsa go tla ga bobedi ga ga Mesia.

BOPAKI JWA GA MOPOROFITI JOSEPH SMITH

Mafoko a ga Moporofiti Joseph Smith ka sebele ka ga go tla pele gaBuka ya ga Momone ke:

Ka letlatlana la . . .Lwetse a tlhola masome a mabedi le motso[1823] . . .Ke ne ka ipaya ka thapelo le topo fa pele ga ModimoMothatayotlhe. . . .

Fa ke ntse ke le mo tirong ya go bitsa Modimo, ke ne ka bonalesedi le tlhagelela mo phaposing ya me, le le neng la tswelela gooketsega go fitlhelela phaposi e le lesedi go gaisa ka setlhoboloko, faka bonako go bonala motho fa tlhakoreng la bolao jwa me, a eme mophefong, gonne maoto a gagwe a ne a sa kgoma bodilo.

O ne a apere purapura e e bosweu jo bontle jo bogolo. E ne e lebosweu go feta sepe sa lefatshe se ke kileng ka se bona; le e seng gore kedumela gore selo sepe sa lefatshe se ka dirwa go lebege se le bosweujo bo feteletseng jaana le kgalalelo. Diatla tsa gagwe di ne di sa apara,le matsogo a gagwe gape, go tswa go se kae fa godimo ga ditokololotsa diatla; jalo, gape, dinao tsa gagwe di ne di sa apeswa sepe, felajaaka maoto a gagwe, go tloga go se kae fa godimo ga manyenana.Tlhogo le molala wa gagwe le tsone di ne di sa apeswa sepe. Ke ne kalemoga fa a ne a sa apara seaparo sepe gape fa e se purapura e, ka e nee bulegile, mo ke neng ke kgona go bona sehuba sa gagwe.

E ne e se purapura ya gagwe fela e e neng e le bosweu jo bofeteletseng, mme mmele wa gagwe otlhe one o galalela mo go fetangbokao, le tebego ya sefatlhogo sa gagwe ruri e ne e kete legadima.Phaposi e ne e le lesedi le le feteletseng, mme e seng tshedimogo etona jaaka mo bogaufing jwa tikologo ya mmele wa gagwe. Fa ke moleba lwa ntlha, ke ne ka boifa; mme ka bofefo poifo e ne ya ntlogela.

O ne a mpitsa ka leina, mme a re go nna gore e ne e le morongwa yoo rometsweng go tswa kwa bonnong jwa Modimo go tla kwa go nna, legore leina la gagwe ke Moronae; gore Modimo o na le tiro e ke tshwane-tseng go e dira; le gore leina la me le tshwanetse go itsewe ka ntlha yamolemo le bosula mo dithabeng tsotlhe, lotso, le diteme, kgotsa gore letshwanetse molemo le bosula di buiwe ka lone gareng ga merafe yotlhe.

O ne a re go na le buka e e epetsweng, e e kwadilweng mo dipapetla-neng tsa gauta, e e fang pego ka ga banni ba lefatshe leno ba pele, lekwa ba tswang teng. O bile gape a re botlalo jwa Efangele e e senangbokhutlo bo ne bo le mo go yone, jaaka e neilwe ke Mmoloki go banniba bogologolo tala;

Gape, o mpoleletse, gore fa ke tsaya dipapetlana tseo tse a neng abuile ka tsonegonne nako e di tshwanetseng gore di ka tsewa e nee ise e diragadiweke seka ka di bontsha motho ope; le fa e leseiphemelo-sehubeng se se nang le Urime le Thumime; fa e se ba ketlaa laolelwang go ba bontsha; fa ke ka dira, ke tlaa nyelediwa. Fa antse a bua le nna ka ga dipapetlana, pono e ne ya bulelwa mogopolowa me mo ke neng ka kgona go bona lefelo fa dipapetlana di neng diepetswe teng, mme seo ka tlhatswego le pharologanyo mo ke neng kaitse lefelo leo gape fa ke le etela.

Morago ga puisanyo e, ke ne ka bona lesedi le le neng le le mophaposing le simolola go kgobokana mo tikologong ya motho yo oneng a sa tswa go bua le nna, mme le ne la tswelela go dira jalo, gofitlhelela phaposi e setse e le lefifi gape, fa e se fela mo tikologong yagagwe, fa ka bofefo jo bogolo ka bona, jaaka go ne go ntse, phaephe ebulegela ka tlhamalalo mo legodimong, mme a tlhatloga go fitlha anyelela gotlhelele, mme phaposi ya sala e ntse jaaka e ne e ntse pelega lesedi le la magodimo le iponatsa.

Ke ne ka rapama, ke akantse ka ga boesi jwa pono e, mme kegakgamaletse se ke neng ke se boleletswe ke morongwa yo o fetangtlwaelesego yo; fa, mo gareng ga dikakanyo tsa me, ka tshogana kelemoga gore phaposi ya me gape e simolola go nna lesedi, mme kabofefo jo bogolo, jaaka gone go ntse, morongwa ene yole wa magodi-mo a bo gape a le fa letlhakoreng lwa bolao jwa me.

A simolola, mme gape a boelela tota dilo tse o neng a di dira kaloeto lwa ntlha, go sena le fa e le pharologanyo e nnye; se e rileng a sedirile, a nkitsise ka ga dikatlholo tse dikgolo tse di neng di tla molefatsheng, ka dikakabalo tse di kgolo tsa tlala, thaka, le leroborobo;le gore dikatlholo tse di botlhoko tse di tlaa tla mo lefatsheng mometlheng ya gompieno. Fa a fetsa go bolela dilo tse, o ne a tlhatlogagape jaaka a ne a dira go le pele.

Ka nako e, maitlhomo a a neng a dirilwe mo mogopolong wa me ane a le magolo, mo e leng gore boroko bone bo phatlaletse momatlhong a me, mme ka koama foo, ke fekeeditswe ke kgakgamaloya se ke se bonyeng ka ba ka se utlwa. Mme se e neng e le kgakgamaloya me fa gape ke bona morongwa ene yole fa tlhakoreng lwa bolaojwa me, mme ka mo utlwa a etsa kgotsa a boelela godimo gape go nnadilo tse di tshwanang le tsa pele; mme a oketsa ka tlhagiso mo go nna,a mpolelela gore Satane o tlaa leka go nthaela (ka ntlha ya khumane-go ya lelwapa la ga ntate), go tsaya dipapetlana ka maikaelelo a gohuma. Se a se nkiletsa, a bua gore ke seka ka nna le maikaelelo amangwe mo go tseyeng dipapetlana fa e se go galaletsa Modimo, ebile ke seka ka tlhotlhelediwa ke maikaelelo ape a mangwe fa e se goaga motse wa bogosi jwa Gagwe; go seng jalo ga ke kake ka di tsaya.

Morago ga loeto lo lwa boraro, o ne gape a tlhatlogela kwalegodimong jaaka pele, mme ka tlogelwa gape go akanya ka keleleloka ga go sa tlwaelesega ga se ke sa tswang go se bona; fa ka bofefo

morago ga morongwa wa legodimo a sena go tlhatloga go tswa fa gonna la boraro, mokoko wa lela, mme ka bona gore bosa bo ne boatamela, ka jalo dipuisanyo tsa rona di tshwanetse tsa bo di tserebosigo joo jotlhe.

Ke ne moragonyana ka ema go tswa mo bolaong jwa me, mme,jaaka gale, ka ya le ditiro tse di tlhokafalang tsa letsatsi; mme, mo golekeng go dira jaaka ka dinako tse dingwe, ke ne ka fitlhela nonofo yame e fedile mo go ntirang gore ke se kgone gotlhelele. Ntate, yo oneng a dira le nna, o ne a lemoga gore go sengwe se se phoso ka nna,mme a nthaya a re ke ye gae. Ke ne ka simolola ka maikaelelo a go yakwa ntlong; mme, mo go lekeng go tlola legora la tshimo e re neng rele teng, nonofo ya me e ne ya ntatha gotlhelele, mme ka wela fa fatsheke feletswe ke tshepho, mme ka sebaka ka bo ke le mo maibing asengwe le sengwe.

Selo sa ntlha se ke se gakologelwang e ne e le lentswe le le nengla bua le nna, le mpitsa ka leina. Ka leba kwa godimo, mme ka bonamorongwa ene yole gape a eme fa godimo ga tlhogo ya me, a dikolo-gilwe ke lesedi jaaka pele. O ne gape a mpolelela se a neng a sempoleletse bosigo jo bo fetileng, mme a ntaolela gore ke ye kwago ntate le go mmolelela ka ga pono le ditaelo tse ke di amogetseng.

Ka obamela, ka boela kwa go ntate mo tshimong, ka mo tlhatlolo-ganyetsa tiragalo yotlhe. O ne a mphetola ka gore e ne e le ya Modimo,mme a mpolelela gore ke ye mme ke dire jaaka ke laetswe ke moro-ngwa. Ke ne ka tlogela tshimo, mme ka ya kwa lefelong le morongwaa neng a mpoleletse gore dipapetlana di epetswe teng; mme ka ntlhaya go tlhatswega ga pono e ke neng ke nnile nayo ka lone, ke ne kaitse lefelo leo fela fa ke goroga kwa go lone.

Gaufi le motse wa Manchester, kgaolo ya Ontario, New York, goeme lentswe la selekanyo se se bonalang, le le tlhatlogileng go feta lepemo tikologong. Ka fa bophirima jwa lentswe le, gaufi le setlhowa, ka fatlase ga letlapa la selekanyo se se bonalang, go ne go le dipapetlana tse,di beilwe mo teng ga kesi ya letlapa. Letlapa le ne le le lekima le bilele le kgolokwe fa gare mo ntlheng e e fa godimo, le ne le le lesesane goya mo dithoko, mo goreng bogare jwa lone bo ne bo bonala fa godimoga lefatshe, mme losi lotlhe lo ne lo bipilwe ke mmu.

Fa ke sena go tlosa mmu, ka tsaya thobane, e ke neng ka e tshwarisaka fa tlase ga losi lwa letlapa, mme ka go panyeletsanyana ka letsholetsa. Ka leba mo teng, mme moo ka nnete ka bona dipapetlana,Urime le Thumime, le seiphemelo-sehubeng, jaaka morongwa a tlhalo-sitse.

Kwa tlase ga kesi e, gone go beilwe matlapa a le mabedi a a neng a kgabaganya kesi; mme momatlapeng a, go ne go le dipapetlana le dilo tse dingwe di na le tsone.

Ka dira maiteko go di ntsha, mme ka idiwa ke morongwa, mmegape ka itsisiwa gore nako ya go ntshiwa ga tsone ga e ise e fitlhe,mme e bile ga e kitla, go fitlhelela ngwaga tse nne go tloga mo nakong

Go ya ka jalo, jaaka ke ne ke laotswe, ke ne ka ya koo mafelo angwaga nngwe le nngwe, mme ka nako nngwe le nngwe, ke ne kafitlhela morongwa yoo teng, mme ka amogela thuto le botlhale gotswa mo go ene mo go nngwe le nngwe ya dipuisanyo tsa rona, ka gase Morena a neng a tlile go se dira, le gore jang le ka mokgwa o motsewa bogosi jwa Gagwe o neng o tshwanetse go tsamaisiwa mo mala-tsing a bofelo.
