Ang Mga Turo ni Alma sa Mga Zoramita

Tungo sa Puno ng Kaalaman

Alma 32:36

Hindi ito ang katapusan; ang pananampalataya ay kinakailangan parin sa kabila ng pagkakakilala na ang binhi ay mabuti.

Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither must ye lay aside your faith, for ye have only exercised your faith to plant the seed that ye might try the experiment to know if the seed was good.

Alma 32:37

Habang ang binhi ay lumalaki patungo sa isang pagiging puno, kinakailangan nito ang pangangalaga upang ito ay magkaugat at magbunga.

And behold, as the tree beginneth to grow, ye will say:

“Let us nourish it with great care, that it may get root, that it may grow up, and bring forth fruit unto us.”

And now behold, if ye nourish it with much care it will get root, and grow up, and bring forth fruit.

Alma 32:38

Ang pagpapabaya sa puno ang pipigil rito para magkaugat, at magiging dahilan ng pagkatuyo at pagkamatay nito.

But if ye neglect the tree, and take no thought for its nourishment, behold it will not get any root; and when the heat of the sun cometh and scorcheth it, because it hath no root it withers away, and ye pluck it up and cast it out.

Alma 32:39

Ang kamatayan ng puno--at ang kaakibat na pagkawala ng bunga--ay hindi isang nauugnay sa kalidad ng binhi, subalit isang sanhi ng isang tigang na lupa at kawalan ng pangangalaga.

Now, this is not because the seed was not good, neither is it because the fruit thereof would not be desirable; but it is because your ground is barren, and ye will not nourish the tree, therefore ye cannot have the fruit thereof.

Alma 32:40

Ang pagkalingat sa pangangalaga sa salita ang dahilan upang hindi makapag-ani ng bunga ng puno ng buhay.

And thus, if ye will not nourish the word, looking forward with an eye of faith to the fruit thereof, ye can never pluck of the fruit of the tree of life.

Alma 32:41

Isang maingat, at matiyagang pagbibigay pansin sa puno habang ito ay lumalaki ay magiging dahilan upang ito ay lumago patungo sa walang-hanggang buhay.

But if ye will nourish the word, yea, nourish the tree as it beginneth to grow, by your faith with great diligence, and with patience, looking forward to the fruit thereof, it shall take root; and behold it shall be a tree springing up unto everlasting life.

Alma 32:42

Isang masigasig na pangangalaga sa puno ang magiging sanhi para ito ay magkaugat at magdala ng mahahalagang bunga, na kung magpapakabusog dito ay siyang mapapawi sa lahat ng gutom at uhaw.

And because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, behold, by and by ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet, and which is white above all that is white, yea, and pure above all that is pure; and ye shall feast upon this fruit even until ye are filled, that ye hunger not, neither shall ye thirst.

Alma 32:43

Ang pagsusumigasig, pagtiyatiyaga, at mahabang pagtitiis ay ginagantimpalaan sa pamamagitan ng pag-ani ng bunga ng puno.

Then, my brethren, ye shall reap the rewards of your faith, and your diligence, and patience, and long–suffering, waiting for the tree to bring forth fruit unto you.
