Ko ha meʻa fakaʻofoʻofa ke toe fakataha. ʻOku mau ʻamanaki pē ʻokú ke malu mo hao fakataha mo homou fāmilí. Kuo tau fakamanatua mai he taʻú ni, ʻa e taʻu ʻe 200 ʻo e ʻUluaki Mata Meʻa-Hā-Maí. ʻOku ou houngaʻia koeʻuhi ko Siosefa Sāmita mo ʻene sīpinga ʻo e tui mo e holi ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e moʻoní pea ʻoku ou fakamālō ʻi he ʻofa ʻaufuatō ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní mo Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí ʻiate kitautolú, ke tali mai ai e lotu fakatōkilalo ʻa Siosefá. Kuo tau ongoʻi ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ngaahi leá ʻi heʻetau fanongó, “ʻOku mau fakamālō ki he ʻOtua naʻe alea mo e tangatá.”1 Te u kiʻi tānaki siʻi pē ki ai, fakamālō kia Sihova ʻi Heʻene toe alea mo e tangatá. ʻOku ou houngaʻia lahi ʻi he moʻoni ʻo e meʻa naʻe aʻusia ʻe Siosefa ʻi he Vaoʻakau Tapú.

Pea hangē pē ko hono tokoniʻi ʻe he aʻusia ʻa Siosefá ke ne ʻiloʻi maʻaná, ko ʻemau fakaʻamú ke ʻilo kotoa ʻe heʻetau kau akó maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻafioʻi mo ʻofeina kinautolu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní, ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí, pea ʻokú Ne hoko ko e ʻulu ʻo Hono Siasí ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí ni.

Talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo e Seminelí mo e ʻInisititiutí, kuo lahi ha ngaahi lea fekauʻaki mo e akoʻí mo e akó. Mei he Taumuʻa ke Tulifua ki aí ʻo aʻu mai ki he Ngaahi Konga Mahuʻinga ʻo Hono Akoʻi mo Ako ʻo e Ongoongoleleí he taimi ní, kuo tokoni ʻa e tataki fakalaumālie kuo tau maʻú ke tau akoʻi lelei ʻa e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí ʻo hangē ko ʻene hā ʻi he ngaahi folofolá mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻa e kau palōfitá, ʻaki e mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke tau teitei mavahe mei he ngaahi fakavaʻe ko ʻení. Ka ʻoku totonu foki ke ʻoua naʻa tau manavasiʻi ʻi hono ako ha ngaahi meʻa foʻou pe fakalahi ʻetau mahino ki he founga ke tokoniʻi lelei taha ai ʻetau kau akó ke nau ʻiloʻi maʻanautolú.

ʻOku ou houngaʻia ʻi heʻetau fakalakalaká. ʻOku ou ongoʻi hangē kuo tau kaka fakataha ʻi ha moʻungá. Naʻe ʻikai ke tau mei lava ʻo aʻusia e tuʻunga ko ʻení ka ne taʻeʻoua ʻa e aʻusia mo e fakahā ʻi he kuohilí, ka ʻoku totonu ke ʻoua ʻaupito te tau fakafiefiemālie pea taʻofi ai ʻetau feinga ki he tumutumu te tau aʻusiá. Ko e fakakaukau ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻatamaí ko e lea ʻa Jeffery R. Holland ʻi he konifelenisi lahi fakamuimuitahá: “Ne ʻikai ke tau aʻu mai ki he tuʻunga ko ʻení ke tau ngata pē heni” [Judith Mahlangu (multistake conference near Johannesburg, South Africa, Nov. 10, 2019), ʻi Sydney Walker, “Elder Holland Visits Southeast Africa during ‘Remarkable Time of Growth,’Church News, Nōvema. 27, 2019, thechurchnews.com].3 ʻOku tau aʻu ʻeni ki he vaeuaʻanga ʻo e moʻungá, pea ʻoku mateuteu ʻa e ʻEikí ke tuku mai ha meʻa lahi ange.

ʻI he ʻuhingá ni, naʻe fakaafeʻi ai kitautolu ʻe ʻEletā Kimi B. Kalake ke tau fakakaukau ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he meʻa mo e founga ʻo ʻetau akoʻí ka ki he founga foki te tau lava ai ʻo tokanga taha ange ki he tokotaha akó mo e founga pea mo e ola ʻo e akó. Naʻá ne fakaafeʻi kitautolu ke tau fehuʻi loto pē, “Ko e hā ha ngaahi meʻa ʻe fie maʻu ke aʻusia ʻe heʻeku kau akó kae lava ke fakatupulaki honau mālohí mo e tuʻunga malava ke ako moʻoní?” ʻI hono fakatahaʻi hotau hisitōlia fakaofó mo e fakahinohino kimuí ni maí, mahalo te tau fehuʻi, “Ko e hā te tau lava ʻo fai ke tau fakatefito ange ʻia Kalaisi mo tokanga taha ange ki he tokotaha akó?”

Naʻe ʻomi ʻe ʻEletā Tēvita A. Petinā ha sīpinga fakaofo ʻo e founga ke tokanga taha ai ki he tokotaha akó, ʻi heʻetau Efiafi mo ha Taki Māʻolungafakamuimuitahá. Ne mahino naʻe ʻikai ko ʻene taumuʻá ke talamai ha meʻa kiate kitautolu ka ke tau ako ha meʻa. Naʻá ne fai ha ngaahi fehuʻi, mamata, mo fakafanongo ke fakapapauʻi naʻe mahino kiate kitautolu. Naʻá ne akoʻi mai foki ʻene founga akoʻí ʻi heʻene pehē, “ʻOua ʻe fakakaukau, ‘ko e hā te u talaange kiate kinautolú?’ kae fakakaukau ki he ‘Ko e hā te u fehuʻi kiate kinautolú?’ Pea ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he, ‘Ko e hā e meʻa te u ʻeke kiate kinautolú?’ ka “Ko e hā e meʻa te u fakaafe ke nau faí?”4

Naʻe pehē ʻe ha Palōfesa mo e Lāpai ʻiloa ko Sēkope Noisina, “ʻOku ʻikai faiako ʻa e kau faiako maʻongoʻongá. ʻOku nau tokoniʻi e kau akó ke nau ako.” Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku ʻi ai ha vā fetuʻutaki ʻoku fakatou ʻaonga ki he akoʻí mo e ako leleí. Ka ʻoku ou tui ʻoku fokotuʻu mai ʻe he lea ʻa Toketā Noisiná ʻoku totonu ke tau fakalahi e meʻa ʻoku tau pehē ko e faiako leleí ʻo ʻikai tokanga taha ange ki hono talaangé, ka ki hono tokoniʻi ʻetau kau akó ke nau maʻu ha ngaahi aʻusia ʻoku fakaafeʻi ai e akó. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻeni ki heʻetau tokoniʻi ʻetau kau akó ke nau aʻusia hono fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻa e moʻoní pea mo e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate kinautolú. ʻOku ʻuhinga ia ke tau fokotuʻu ha ʻātakai ʻoku nau ongoʻi malu ai ke fai ha ngaahi fehuʻi, ʻiloʻi ʻa e moʻoní, fakafehokotaki fakatokāteline, fanongo ki he ngaahi fakamoʻoni mei honau toʻú, pea vakaiʻi mo vahevahe ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú, ongó, mo e ueʻi ki he ngaahi moʻoni ʻoku nau akó. ʻOku ʻuhinga ia ke tau fokotuʻu ha ngaahi aʻusia ʻoku ueʻi ai kinautolu ke moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí mo ʻiloʻi e founga ke ngāue ai ʻi he tuí, ako mei heʻenau ngaahi fehalākí, pea toe ʻahiʻahi pē mo ha ʻamanaki lelei ʻia Kalaisi. Ko e founga ʻeni te nau ʻilo ai maʻanautolú.

Ke mahino kakato ange ʻa e ngaahi aʻusia ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe heʻetau kau akó lolotonga ʻenau feohi mo kitautolú, naʻa mau fakakaukau ai ko e meʻa lelei taha te mau faí ko e fehuʻi kiate kinautolu.

Naʻa nau fetaulaki fakatouʻosi mo kinautolu ʻoku kau ki he ngaahi kalasí kae pehē foki ki he tokolahi ʻoku ʻikai lesisitá. ʻI heʻemau ngāue ke fakamāʻopoʻopo ha fakamatala lahi ʻaupitó, kuo mau fakakulupu ʻa e ngaahi talí ki ha konga ʻe tolu.

Naʻá ne talaange ki he toenga ʻo e kau akó naʻá ne ʻofa ʻia Maikolo, pea ʻoku maʻu ʻe Maikolo ha loto-ʻofa pea te ne fai ha tokoni lahi. Naʻá ne kole ange leva kia Maikolo pe te ne fie vahevahe ʻene fakamoʻoní. Naʻe lea ʻa Maikolo mo e loʻimataʻia hono fofongá ʻo kau ki he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá, ko ʻEne angaleleí mo e manavaʻofá mo e finangalo lelei ke fakamolemolé. Naʻe tāpuekina ʻa kimautolu kotoa ne ʻi ai he ʻaho ko iá ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻa Maikoló.

Naʻe mamata ʻa Misa ʻOnitelei ki ha meʻa ʻia Maikolo ne ʻikai mamata ki ai e niʻihi kehé. ʻI heʻene hoko ko ha faiakó, ʻokú ne fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e ngaahi puipuituʻa mo e tūkunga kehekehe pea mahino kiate ia ʻoku ʻi ai ha tokoni mahuʻinga ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē. Ko ia naʻá ne ʻoange ha ngaahi aʻusia ne malava ai ʻene kau akó ʻo fefakamālohiaʻaki mo maʻu ha loto-holi tatau ke maʻu e melino, fakamoʻui, mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻa e Fakamoʻuí. Naʻe hoko ha meʻa mahuʻinga ʻe taha hili ʻa e kalasí ʻi heʻeku mamata ki he haʻohaʻo ʻa e kau ako tokolahi ʻia Maikolo ʻo talitali lelei ia mo fakapapauʻi naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe fiemaʻu ia.

Hangē ko ʻeku lave kimuʻá, ko e konga ʻe taha hono fakatupu e ongo ʻo e kau maí ke femoʻuekina ʻi ha ngāue mahuʻingamālie. ʻOku maʻu ʻe heʻetau kau akó ha holi ke kau ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻofa fakaetangatá mo hiki hake ʻa e niʻihi kehé ki ha moʻui fakaʻeiʻeiki, tuʻunga tatau, mo faingamālie. Ko e angamahení ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fakafehokotaki e meʻa ʻoku nau akó pe ko e ngaahi faingamālie ʻoku nau maʻú ki ha ngāue pehē. Pea neongo ko e ngāue maʻongoʻonga taha ʻi he māmaní ko e ngāue ʻa Kalaisí mo hono tānaki fakataha ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ongo tafaʻaki ʻo e veilí, ka ko e tokolahi taha ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fakafehokotaki ʻenau ngaahi aʻusia ʻi he seminelí mo e ʻinisititiutí ki he ngāue ko iá.

Te ke fakakaukau nai ki he ngaahi liliu te ke lava ʻo fai ʻi hoʻo faiakó, fengāueʻakí, pea naʻa mo e tūkunga ho lokiakó ke talitali lelei ange ai e fānau kotoa pē ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní? Mahalo pē te ke fie tui ʻe koe ha falani lanu pulú. Ka ke toe mahuʻinga angé, te ke fekumi nai ʻi he faʻa lotu ke ʻoange ha ngaahi aʻusia ʻoku tokoniʻi ai e kau akó ke nau ongoʻi e ʻofa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní mo ʻiloʻi honau tuʻunga fakalangí mo honau ivi malavá? Tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau ʻilo ʻokú ke tokanga kiate kinautolu mo ʻiloʻi honau mahuʻinga fakatāutahá. Tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau fetuʻutaki mo e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí pea ongoʻi malu mo fiemaʻu. Fakalotolahiʻi kinautolu ke nau kau ʻi he ngāue ʻa Kalaisí ʻaki hono tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau fakalakalaka ʻi he hala ʻo e fuakavá. ʻI hoʻo tanumaki e faʻahinga aʻusia ko ʻení, te nau ʻiloʻi ʻoku nau kau mai.

ʻOku mahino kiate au ʻe ʻikai ke tau lava ʻo fai kotoa e ngaahi meʻá ni ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. Ka te tau lava ʻo manatua kinautolu ʻi heʻetau teuteú, faiakó, mo ʻetau fengāueʻaki mo ʻetau kau akó. ʻOku ʻikai mahuʻinga ia pe ʻokú ke akoʻi e seminelí pe ʻinisititiutí, mata ki he mata pe ʻi he ʻinitanetí, pongipongia pe efiafi, ka ʻe hanga ʻe hono fakakau e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ʻo faitāpuekina hoʻo kau akó mo tokoni ke ʻoange ʻa e ngaahi aʻusia ʻoku nau fiemaʻú.

Kuo hoko ha ngaahi lelei lahi pea ʻe kei hoko mai pē mo e lelei tahá. Manatuʻi, ne ʻikai ke tau fononga lōloa maí ke tau ngata pē heni. ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi ʻi heʻetau fekumi fakamātoato ki he fakahaá, ʻe tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ke tau ʻiloʻi e founga ke faitāpuekina ai ʻEne fānaú. ʻOkú Ne mateuteu ke tokoniʻi fakafoʻituitui mo fakalūkufua kitautolu ke ʻoange ha ngaahi aʻusia ʻoku fakaloloto ai e uluí, ʻaonga ki he tupulaki fakalaumālie fakatāutahá, mo fakatupu ai ha ongo ʻo e kau maí. ʻOkú Ne mateuteu ke ʻomi ha meʻa lahi ange. Fakatauange te tau hokohoko atu ke tafoki kiate Ia ʻi he tui ke ʻiloʻi e founga ke tokoniʻi ʻaki ʻetau kau akó ke nau ʻiloʻi moʻoni maʻanautolú, ko ʻeku lotú ia, ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻēmeni.
