Ko e tauhisipi leleí

ʻOkú ke ongoʻi fefe ʻi he taimi ʻoku manatua ai koe ʻe ha taha ʻoku mahuʻinga kiate koé? Lolotonga hono akoʻi ʻe Nīfai ʻa e fakamoveteveteʻi mo tānaki fakataha ʻo ʻIsilelí, naʻá ne fakaʻaongaʻi e ngaahi kikite ʻa ʻĪsaiá ke fakahaaʻi he ʻikai ngalo ʻi he ʻEikí ʻa e fale ʻo ʻIsileli kuo fakamoveteveteʻí. ʻOku fakataumuʻa ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke ongoʻi e ʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí kiate koe mo e kakai kotoa pē pea mo ʻEne finangalo ke tānaki fakataha kimoutolu kiate Iá.

Ko e ʻofa ʻa e Fakamoʻuí kiate kitautolú

ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi taimi ʻe lava ke tau ʻiloʻi mo ongoʻi ai e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻetau moʻuí, ka ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi mahalo he ʻikai ke tau fakatokangaʻi ia ʻe kitautolu. Fakakaukauloto naʻá ke talanoa mo haʻo kaungāmeʻa naʻá ne talaatu ʻoku ʻikai ke ne fakapapauʻi pe ʻoku ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻiate ia.

• Ko e hā te ke lava ʻo vahevahe mei he folofolá ʻe ala tokoni ki ho kaungāmeʻá?

• Ko e hā ha ngaahi aʻusia te ke lava ʻo vahevahe mo ho kaungāmeʻá fekauʻaki mo e founga kuó ke ʻiloʻi mo ongoʻi ai e ʻofa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí?

Fakalaulauloto ki hoʻo ngaahi ongo fekauʻaki mo e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate koé, kau ai ha ngaahi fehuʻi pe meʻa ʻokú ke hohaʻa ki ai. ʻI hoʻo akó, kumi ha ngaahi moʻoni ʻe lava ʻo tokoni atu ke mahino lelei ange kiate koe mo ke ongoʻi ʻa e ʻofa ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi kiate koé.

Ko e akoʻi ʻe Nīfai e ʻofa ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻiate kitautolú

ʻI he 1 Nīfai 19, naʻe kikiteʻi ai ʻe Nīfai ʻa e moʻui mo e misiona ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he kahaʻú. Lau ʻa e 1 Nīfai 19:7–10, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ʻe Nīfai kau ki he founga ngaohi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi lolotonga Hono taimi ʻi he māmaní pea mo e ʻuhinga te Ne loto fiemālie ai ke ngaohi peheʻi ai Iá.

• Ko e hā ha ngaahi foʻi lea pe ngaahi kupuʻi lea ʻoku hā makehe kiate koe mei he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení? Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

• ʻE liliu fēfē ʻe he mahino ʻokú ke maʻu ki he ngaahi akonaki ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ongo ki he Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí?

Hili hono lekooti ʻe Nīfai ʻene ngaahi kikite kau kia Sīsū Kalaisí, naʻá Ne vahevahe ha ngaahi kikite mei he palōfita ko ʻĪsaiá ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá fekauʻaki mo e fakamoveteveteʻi mo hono fakatahatahaʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí. Naʻe mahuʻinga e ngaahi kikite ko ʻení kia Nīfai mo hono fāmilí, ʻa ia naʻe fakamoveteveteʻi kinautolu mei honau fonua tupuʻanga ko Selusalemá koeʻuhí ko e faiangahala ʻa e kakai naʻe nofo ʻi he feituʻú ko ia. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he ngaahi kikite ʻa ʻĪsaiá ʻe ongoʻi ʻe he konga lahi ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí kuo fakangaloʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi honau tuʻunga fakamoveteveteʻí.

Lau ʻa e 1 Nīfai 21:14–16 pea kumi ki he ngaahi folofola ʻa e ʻEikí kiate kinautolu ʻe ongoʻi liʻekiná.

ʻOku fakahaaʻi e ʻofa ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻi Heʻene finangalo ke tānaki fakataha e kakaí kiate Iá

Naʻe fakamoveteveteʻi e kakai ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga muʻá ʻi he taimi kotoa pē naʻe tuku ai ʻenau moihū ki he [ʻEikí] mo maumauʻi ʻenau ngaahi fuakavá mo e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá (vakai, 2 Nīfai 6:10–11; 10:3–6). ʻOku tānaki fakataha e kakai ʻIsilelí ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau haʻu ai kia Kalaisí, tali ʻEne ongoongoleleí ʻo fakafou ʻi he papitaisó, mo tauhi ʻEne ngaahi fekaú. Naʻe talaʻofa ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ki ʻIsileli naʻe fakamoveteveteʻí he ʻikai ke Ne fakangaloʻi kinautolu pea te Ne tānaki kinautolu kiate Ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí (vakai, 1 Nīfai 15:13–14; 2 Nīfai 6:11; 9:1–2; 10:7–8).

Ako e ʻuluʻi vahe ʻo e 1 Nīfai 21 mo e 22 ke mahino lelei ange ʻa e meʻa ʻoku kikiteʻi ʻe ʻĪsaia mo ne akonaki ʻaki ʻi he ngaahi vahe ko ʻení.

Ako e ngaahi potufolofola ko ʻeni fekauʻaki mo hono tānaki fakataha ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní. Tokanga ki he ngaahi foʻi lea pe kupuʻi lea ʻoku nau fakahaaʻi ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ki Hono kakaí.

Fili Pē: Fie Ako Lahi Ange?

ʻI he taimi ʻoku ou faiangahala aí, ʻoku ou taʻefeʻunga nai mo e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá?

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Brother Peletilī R. Uilikoki ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī Lahi ʻo e Kau Talavoú ʻo pehē:

Brother Bradley R. Wilcox

Manatuʻi ʻoku malava ʻa e liliú, ko e fakatomalá ko ha ngāue ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai haohaoa ʻa e moʻui tāú. Kae mahuʻinga tahá, manatuʻi ʻoku loto-fiemālie ʻa e ʻOtuá mo Kalaisi ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi heni he taimí ni. …

Kuo mamahi ha tokolahi ʻi ha ngaahi vā fetuʻutaki kuo maumau mo motuhia ʻo faingataʻa ai ke nau tui ki he manavaʻofa mo e faingataʻaʻia fuoloa ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku faingataʻa ke nau vakai ki he ʻOtuá ʻi Hono tuʻungá—ko ha Tamai ʻofa ʻoku tokoni ʻi heʻetau faingataʻaʻiá mo afioʻi e founga ke “foaki … ʻa e ngaahi meʻa leleí kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate iá” [3 Nīfai 14:11]. Ko ʻEne ʻaloʻofá ʻoku ʻikai ko ha pale pē ia maʻanautolu ʻoku moʻui tāú. Ko e “tokoni fakalangi” ia ʻokú Ne fakahoko ʻa ia ʻoku tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke tau moʻui tāú. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha pale pē ia maʻá e angamāʻoniʻoní. Ko e “fakakoloa [ia] ʻo e ivi” ʻokú Ne foaki ʻa ia ʻoku tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke tau angamāʻoniʻoní [Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Ko e Meʻaʻofa ʻo e ʻAloʻofá,” Ensign pe Liahona, Mē 2015, 107]. ʻOku ʻikai ke tau ʻunuʻunu pē ki he ʻOtuá mo Kalaisi. ʻOku tau ʻaʻeva mo Kinaua. (Bradley R. Wilcox, “ʻOku ʻIkai Haohaoa ʻa e Moʻui Tāú,” Liahona, Nōvema 2021, 62, 67)

Ko e hā ka fakafehoanaki ai ʻe Kalaisi Ia ki ha faʻē?

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Teili G. Lenilani ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē:

ʻEletā Dale G. Renlund

Naʻe fehuʻi ʻe he [ʻEikí], “ʻE faʻa fakangalongaloʻi ʻe ha fefine ʻene tama ʻoku huhú, ke ne taʻe ʻofa ai ki he tama ʻa hono manavá?” ʻOku tatau pē ʻa e taʻe malava ke fakangaloki ʻe ha faʻē ʻofa ʻa ʻene tama kei valevalé, mo e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻoku toe taʻeueʻia ange ʻa ʻEne līʻoá. Naʻá Ne fakapapau: “ʻIo, te nau faʻa fakangaloʻi nai, ka ʻe ʻikai te u fakangaloʻi koe. … Vakai, kuó u tohi tongi koe ʻi hoku ongo ʻaofi nimá; ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻaó maʻu ai pē ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ʻaá” [1 Nīfai 21:15–16]. Koeʻuhí naʻe kātekina ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e feilaulau fakalelei taʻe-fakangatangatá, ʻokú Ne ʻafioʻi lelei ai ʻetau ngaahi ongó [vakai, ʻAlamā 7:11–13]. ʻOkú Ne ʻafioʻi maʻu pē kitautolu pea mo hotau ngaahi tūkungá. (Dale G. Renlund, “Taʻetotonu Fakatupu Loto-Lili,” Liahona, Mē 2021, 43)

Te tau ʻiloʻi fēfē ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate kitautolú?

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sisitā Sūsana H. Pota ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī Lahi ʻo e Palaimelí ʻo pehe:

Sisitā Susan H. Porter

ʻOku ʻikai ke maʻu e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi tūkunga ʻo ʻetau moʻuí, ka ʻi Hono takaua ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻEne ʻofá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau maʻu ai ha mālohi ʻoku ope atu ʻi hotau mālohí pea ʻi hono ʻomi ʻe he Laumalié ha nonga, fiemālie mo ha fakahinohino. ʻE ngali faingataʻa ha ngaahi taimi ke ongoʻi ʻEne ʻofá. Te tau lava ʻo lotu ke fakaʻā hotau matá ke vakai ki Hono toʻukupú ʻi heʻetau moʻuí pea ke ʻiloʻi ʻEne ʻofá ʻi he masani ʻo ʻEne ngaahi fakatupú. (Susan H. Porter, “ʻOfa ʻa e ʻOtua: Ko e Fakafiefia Taha Ia ki he Laumalié,” Liahona, Nōvema 2021, 35)
