Naʻá ne kai ʻa e fua ʻo e ʻakau ko iá, pea naʻe “melie ʻaupito ia, ʻo laka hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē” kuó ne kai aí (1 Nīfai 8:11). ʻOku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he fuʻu ʻakaú ni mo hono fuá ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia ʻoku hā ʻi he ʻaloʻi, moʻui, ngāue fakafaifekau, mo e feilaulau fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻe “fakafonu [ʻe he ʻofa ko ʻení] ʻa [e] laumālie [ʻo Līhaí] ʻaki ha fuʻu fiefia lahi” (1 Nīfai 8:12). ʻOku fakataumuʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení ke tokoni atu ke ke fakatupulaki hoʻo holi ke ongoʻi e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá mo e Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.

Poʻulí mo e māmá

Kuo vahevahe ʻe ha kau lea tokolahi ʻi he konifelenisi lahí ha ngaahi talanoa ʻo haʻanau aʻusia ʻa e fakapoʻuli fakatuʻasinó pea hoko mai ai ha mahino lahi ange mo ha houngaʻia ʻi he māmá. Feinga ke ke fakakaukauloto ki he ngaahi tūkunga ko ʻení. Lau pe mamata ʻi ha taha ʻo e ngaahi talanoa ko ʻení.

Ko e heka pasikala ʻi ha tānolo maile ʻe 15 (vakai, Vern P. Stanfill, “Fili ʻa e Māmá,” Ensign pe Liahona, Nōvema 2015, 55–57).

Ko e ʻikai ulo e ngaahi maama ʻi he Temipale Sōlekí ʻi he poʻulí (vakai, Sharon Eubank, “Ko Kalaisi ʻa e Maama ʻOku Ulo ʻi he Fakapoʻulí,” Ensign pe Liahona, Mē 2019, 73–76).

Ko e hifo maea ki ha ʻana loloto (vakai, Timothy J. Dyches, “ʻOku Pikitai ʻa e Māmá ki he Māmá,” Liahona, Mē 2021, 112–15).

Ko e lotua ʻe Līhai e ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí

Lolotonga e nofo ʻa Līhai ʻi he feituʻu maomaonganoá, naʻá ne vahevahe e fakaikiiki ʻo ha meʻa-hā-mai naʻá ne maʻu mo hono fāmilí. ʻI he meʻa-hā-mai ko ʻení, naʻá ne ʻi ha “feituʻu maomaonganoa fakapoʻuli mo fakataʻelata” (1 Nīfai 8:4).

Fakaʻaongaʻi ha kiʻi taimi ke fakalaulauloto ai ki he ngaahi founga kehekehe te tau ala ongoʻi ai ʻa e fakapoʻulí ʻi heʻetau moʻuí mo e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻe lava ke tau tangi ai ki he ʻEikí ke maʻu ha ʻaloʻofá.

Lau ʻa e 1 Nīfai 8:9–12ʻo kumi e founga naʻe tokoniʻi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Līhaí.

Tā ha fakatātā faingofua ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó ke ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e fuʻu ʻakau naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa Līhaí. Tā ʻa e fuá ki he fuʻu ʻakaú, pea fakahingoa ʻa e fuá ʻo fakatefito ki he ngaahi fakamatala ʻa Līhai ʻi he 1 Nīfai 8:10–12. (Ki ha ngaahi fakamatala lahi ange ke fakahingoa ʻaki e fuaʻiʻakau ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú, lau ʻa e 1 Nīfai 15:36 mo e ʻAlamā 32:42.) ʻI hoʻo tā fakatātaá, fakakaukau pe ko e hā ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he fuʻu ʻakau ko ʻení mo hono fuá.

Naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe Nīfai kimui ange ke ne ʻiloʻi mo mahino fakatāutaha kiate ia ʻa e meʻa-hā-maí, kau ai mo e ʻuhinga ʻo e fuʻu ʻakau ne mamata ki ai ʻa Līhaí. Lolotonga e fakalaulauloto ʻa Nīfai ki he meʻa ne akoʻi kiate iá, naʻe fakahā kiate ia ʻe he Laumālié, ʻi ha meʻa-hā-mai ʻo hono fua ʻe he Taupoʻou ko Melé ʻa e pēpē ko Sīsuú (vakai, 1 Nīfai 11:13, 20).

Sio ki he fakatātā ko ʻení pea fakakaukau ki he ʻuhinga naʻe fakahā ai ʻeni kia Nīfaí ʻi Heʻene fiemaʻu ke ʻilo ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú.

Ko Mele mo e valevale ko Sīsuú

Lau ʻa e 1 Nīfai 11:21–23, ʻo kumi pe ko e toe hā mo ha meʻa naʻe fakahā kia Nīfai pea mo e founga naʻe tokoni ai kiate ia ke ne ʻilo ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú. Te ke lava ʻo fakahingoa ʻa e fuʻu ʻakaú ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he meʻa ʻokú ke akó.
