Kuo afeʻi taʻu ʻeni mo e kei fekumi pē ʻa e fakafoʻituituí, ngaahi fāmilí, mo e ngaahi sōsaietí ki ha ngaahi taumuʻa hangē ko e fāitahá, melinó, mo e uouangatahá.

ʻOku ʻi he tohi 4 Nīfaí ʻa e fakamatala ʻo e kakai naʻe moʻui hili ʻa e ʻaʻahi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ki he ongo ʻAmeliká. ʻI hoʻo ako kau ki heʻenau aʻusiá, kumi ʻa e liliu naʻe fakahoko ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne ongoongoleleí ki he kakai ko ʻení. Fakakaukau ki he founga ʻe lava ke liliu ai ʻe he ngaahi akonaki ko ʻení ʻa e founga ʻokú ke fili ke moʻui aí.

Mahalo te ke fie fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e kupuʻi lea “kuo fakaului ʻa e kakai kotoa pē ki he ʻEikí” ʻi he veesi 2.

ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e fakaului ki he ʻEikí ki hono “liliu ʻo e ngaahi tui, loto, mo e moʻui ʻa ha taha ke tali mo tauhi pau ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá … pea liliu ʻo hoko ko ha ākonga ʻa Kalaisi” (Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “Fakauluí,” scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

Ko e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e uluí

Naʻe aʻusia ʻe he kau Nīfaí mo e kau Leimaná ha ngaahi tāpuaki fakaofo koeʻuhí ko ʻenau ului kia Sīsū Kalaisí. Tohiʻi ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó ʻa e “Ngaahi Tāpuaki mei he Uluí” ʻi lotomālie ʻi ha peesi.

Hiki ʻi hoʻo laʻipepá ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea pe kupuʻi lea ko ʻení ʻo takatakai ʻi he ʻuluʻitohi “Ngaahi Tāpuaki mei he Uluí.” (Mahalo ʻe tokoni ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi foʻi lea ʻi he veesi 16. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e maveuveú ki he ngaahi longoaʻa pe fakakikihi ʻa e kakaí, ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e feʻauakí ki he ngaahi angahala fakasekisualé, pea ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e holi koví ki he fakakaukau koví mo e taʻe-angamaʻá.)

Fakakaukau pe ko e fē ʻi he ngaahi tāpuaki ko ʻení ʻokú ke fakaʻamu ke aʻusia lahi ange ʻi hoʻo moʻuí. Fakakaukau ke siakaleʻi kinautolu ʻi he peesi ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó.

ʻEletā Jeffrey R. Holland

Ko e hā ʻa e kī ki he tupulaki fakafokifā ko ʻeni ʻi he moʻui fiemālie mo fiefiá? ʻOku ʻasi lelei ʻi he fakalea ʻo e sētesí: “Ko e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá … naʻe ʻi he loto ʻo e kakaí” [4 Nīfai 1:15]. ʻI he taimi pē ʻoku fokotuʻu pau mai ai ʻe he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá e tūkunga ʻo ʻetau moʻuí, ʻa hotau ngaahi vā fetuʻutaki mo e niʻihi kehé pea aʻu ki heʻetau ongo ki he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo e tangatá, ʻoku toki kamata leva ke mōlia atu ʻa e ngaahi faikehekehé, ngaahi fakafaʻahingá mo e ʻū ʻā vahevahé, kae tupulaki ʻa e melinó. Ko e meʻa tonu pē ia ne hoko ʻi heʻetau sīpinga ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Naʻe ʻikai ke toe ʻi ai ha kau Leimana, pe kau Sēkope, pe kau Siosefa, pe kau Sōlami. Naʻe ʻikai pē ke toe ʻi ai ha faʻahinga kakai pehē (ites). Naʻe ohi ʻe he kakaí ha tuʻunga foʻou fisifisimuʻa pē ʻe taha. ʻOku pehē he vēsí, ne pau ke ʻilo ʻaki kinautolu kotoa “ko e fānau ʻa Kalaisí.” [4 Nīfai 1:17]. (Jeffrey R. Holland, “Ko e Koloa Lelei Tahá,” Liahona, Nōvema 2021, 9)

Fakakaukau ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e kupuʻi lea ʻi he veesi 15 fekauʻaki mo e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he loto ʻo e kakaí. ʻE lava ke ʻuhinga ʻa e maʻu ʻo e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hotau lotó ke ongoʻi ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate kitautolu mo e niʻihi kehé. ʻE lava foki ke ʻuhinga ia ke ongoʻi ʻa e ʻofa ki he Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí.

• Ko e hā ha ngaahi ngāue te tau lava ʻo fai ʻe tokoni ke tau ongoʻi ha ʻofa lahi ange ki he Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi?

Ko e founga ʻe taha te tau lava ai ʻo ongoʻi ha ʻofa lahi ange ki he Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí ko ʻetau ako mo ʻiloʻi Kinaua ʻi he folofolá.

Tuku ha taimi ke ako ai ha ngaahi potufolofola fekauʻaki mo e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻe lava ʻo tokoni ke ke ongoʻi ha ʻofa lahi ange kiate Kinaua. Tokanga ki he meʻa ʻokú ke ako fekauʻaki mo Hona ʻulungāngá, finangaló, mo e fatongiá. Te ke lava ʻo fekumi ki ha ngaahi foʻi lea hangē ko e “Tamai Hēvani” pe “Sīsū Kalaisi” ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e ʻū naunau ki he akó hangē ko e Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá pe tafaʻaki fekumi ʻi he Gospel Library.
