Omuaraa Parau
No te mea ua raji te mau irava mo'a i iriti-ê-hia'tu i te Bibilia e ua moe roa te reira, e no te mea ua tauihia e te rima taata te tahi mau irava i roto i te Bibilia, ua maiti te Fatu i te peropheta ra o losepha Semita metua ia faatitiaifaro i te pae raji o taua mau irava faufaa ra. Ua parauhia taua ohipa ta losepha i rave ra: Te Bibilia i Faauruhia mai.
Teie te heheuraa i tae mai ia losepha Semita metua i te m. 1831, o tei horoa mai ia'na i te mana e te ite hoi ia rave i teie ophia faahiahia:
E ani mai outou, e e horoahia'tu ïa ta'u ra mau papairaa mo'a tei haapaohia e au, e vaiiho-maitai-hia te reira; e e mea tia hoi ia faaea noa outou mai to parau ore i te reira, eiaha hoi ia haaphiihia e ia hope roa mai. E horoahia'tu hoi au i te hoê faaueraa ia outou, ia haapiihia e outou i reira i te taata atoa; e haapiihia hou te reira i te mau fenua atoa, i te mau nunaa, i te mau reo, e i te taata atoa.
E rave outou i te mau mea i noaa ia outou na, o tei horoahia'tu na outou no roto mai i ta'u ra mau papairaa mo'a ie ture, ia riro ïa ei ture na'u, ei faatere i ta'u ekalesia; e o tei haapao e ua rave i teie nei mau mea, e ora ïa, e o tei ore râ i rave e faahapahia ïa, ia tamau i te na reira ra (Buka Fafau 42:15, 16).
Te mau parau i roto i teie nei buka, o taua mau parau mo'a ra ïa i faaruhia mai e te Atua.
