ʻI he hokohoko atu e tupu ʻa e Siasí, kuo ueʻi ʻe he ʻEikí e kau taki ʻo e Siasí mo e Kāingalotú ke fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi houalotu mo e ngaahi polokalama ʻi he Siasí ke tāpuekina ʻa e Kāingalotú. ʻI hono fuofua fokotuʻu e ngaahi houalotu mo e ngaahi polokalama ko ʻení, naʻe ʻikai ke fuʻu fie maʻu ia ʻo hangē ko e lolotongá ní, ka ʻi he tupu ʻa e Siasí, kuo nau mahuʻinga ki he ngāue ʻa e Siasí ki hono fakamoʻui ʻa e fānau ʻa e ʻOtua.

ʻOku tokoni ʻa e ngaahi Houalotú mo e ngaahi Polokalama ʻo e Siasí ke tau teuteu mo Fakalakalaka ki he Moʻui Taʻengatá

Fakakaukau ki he founga ʻoku tāpuekina ai hoʻo moʻuí ʻe he ngaahi houalotu mo e ngaahi polokalama ʻo e Siasí.

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā e taumuʻa ʻo e ngaahi houalotu ʻo e Siasí hangē ko e Kau Talavoú mo e Kau Finemuí? ‘Oku tokoni fēfē hono ‘iloʻi ʻa e taumuʻa ʻo e ngaahi houalotú kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau kau aí?

Lau ʻa e Mōsese 1:39, pea kumi pe ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻokú Ne faí. Manatuʻi ko e moʻui taʻe faʻamaté ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he moʻui ʻo taʻengata ʻi ha tuʻunga toetuʻu. ʻE toetuʻu ʻa e kakai kotoa pē, ʻi he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, neongo ʻenau faiangahalá pe anga māʻoniʻoni ʻi he moʻui ní. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá ki he moʻui ʻo taʻengata ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Tamai Hēvaní pea hoko ʻo hangē ko Iá.

Ko e hā e taumuʻa ʻo e Siasí ʻi heʻetau fakakaukau atu ko e taumuʻa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ke fakahoko e moʻui taʻe-faʻamaté mo e moʻui taʻengata ʻa ʻEne fānaú?

Koeʻuhí ko e taumuʻa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ko hono fakahoko ʻo e moʻui taʻemate mo e moʻui taʻengata ʻa ʻEne fānaú, ʻoku tatau pē ia mo e taumuʻa ʻa Hono Siasí. Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ʻa e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui ní ke tokoniʻi ʻEne fānaú ke nau maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá.

1. Hiki ʻi hoʻo tohinoa ako folofolá, ha ngaahi founga ʻoku tokoni ai ʻa e Siasí ki he Tamai Hevaní ke fakahoko e moʻui taʻe-faʻamaté mo e moʻui taʻengata ʻa ʻEne fānaú.

ʻOku ʻi ai ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi houalotu ʻa e Siasí — ʻoku ui ko e ngaahi houalotu ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí — mo ha ngaahi polokalama kehe ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau fakalakalaka ai ki he moʻui taʻengatá. Feinga ke ke ʻilo e hingoa ʻo ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi houalotú.

Mahalo naʻá ke ʻilo ʻa e hingoa ʻo e ngaahi houalotu ʻo e Kau Talavoú, Kau Finemuí, Palaimelí, Kau Fineʻofá, mo e Lautohi Faka-Sāpaté mo e ngaahi polokalama hangē ko e Seminelí mo e ʻInisitiuti Fakalotú mo e ʻefiafi faka-fāmili ʻi ʻapí.

Ke ke ʻilo ʻa e founga ʻoku tokoni mai ai ʻa e ngaahi houalotu mo e ngaahi polokalama ʻo e Siasí ke tau lava ʻo maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá, lau ʻa e lea koʻeni ʻa Palesiteni Poiti K. Peeka ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulau mā Uá. ʻOku fekauʻaki ʻa e lea ko ʻení mo e polokalama semineli mo e ʻinisititiutí, ka ko e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻokú ne akoʻí, ʻe lava ke fakaʻaongaʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi houalotu mo e ngaahi polokalama kehe ʻa e Siasí.

Palesiteni Boyd K. Packer

“ʻI he hisitōlia ʻo e Siasí ʻoku ʻikai ha toe meʻa te ne fakatātaaʻi lelei ange ʻa e teuteu fakaepalōfita ʻa e kakaí ni ka ko e kamataʻanga ʻo e polokalama seminelí mo e ʻinisititiutí. Naʻe kamata ʻa e ngaahi polokalama ko ʻení ʻi he taimi naʻe fakalata aí ka naʻe ʻikai ke fuʻu fie maʻu ia. Naʻe tuku ange ha taimi ke tupu ʻo lahi pea hoko ko ha ʻā maluʻi [malu] ki he Siasí. Kuo nau hoko he taimí ni ko ha tāpuaki ki hono fakamoʻui ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuongá ní ʻi he taimi faingataʻa lahi tahá” (“Teach the Scriptures” [address to CES religious educators, Oct. 14, 1977], 3; si.lds.org).

Kuo ueʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Hono kau takí ke nau fokotuʻu ʻa e ngaahi polokalama mo e ngaahi houalotu ʻi he Siasí ke teuteuʻi kitautolu ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo ia ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié ni pea ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau fakalakalaka ki he moʻui taʻengatá.

ʻI hoʻo lau tahataha ʻa e ngaahi fakamatala fakahisitōlia ko ʻení, kumi e ngaahi tali ki he ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení:

• Naʻe kamata fēfē ʻa e houalotú pe polokalama? (Fakakaukau ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi tali ki he fehuʻi ko ʻení.)

• ʻOkú ke pehē ʻokú ne teuteuʻi fēfē kitautolu ke tau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻi hotau kuongá?

• ʻOkú ke pehē ʻokú ne tokoniʻi fēfē kitautolu ke tau fakalakalaka ki he moʻui taʻengatá?

Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Siosefa F. Sāmita ʻo pehē ʻoku totonu ke hoko ʻa e ngaahi polokalama ʻo e Siasí “ke fakalahi atu ki he ngaahi akonaki mo e ako ʻi ʻapí.
