Siʻoku kāinga ʻofeina, ʻokú ma ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu! ʻOkú ma fakaʻamu ange mai ne ma lava ke tau ō mo kimoutolu ki ʻapi. Kae hiliō aí, ʻokú ma lotua ʻe tokoni ha meʻa ʻe akoʻi atu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní he pooni ke mou mateuteu lelei ange ai ke foki ki ʻApi H.

Kimuʻa peá ma malí, naʻá ku hoko ko ha faifaleʻi ki he moʻui lelei fakaeʻatamaí, ko ha faifaleʻi ki he nofo-malí mo e fāmilí, mo ha palōfesa ʻi BYU.

Ko ia pē. Ko e foʻi fehuʻí ia: “Ko e hā nai e meʻa ʻe fai ʻe ha tokotaha lahi kei talavou ʻoku anga-māʻoniʻoní?”

Hangē ko ʻení:2

Pea ko e hā e meʻa naʻe hokó? ʻI he ngaahi vahefonua kehekehe ʻi USA pea ʻi ha kolo ʻe ua ʻi Kānata, ne ngāue ai ha kakai lalahi kei talavou ʻe toko 30, ʻo nau fehuʻi pē kiate kinautolu, “Ko e hā nai e meʻa ʻe fai ʻe ha tokotaha lahi kei talavou ʻoku anga-māʻoniʻoni?”

Ne vave leva hano kamataʻi ha ngaahi ʻekitivitī angamaheni fakaʻaho—ka ne takitaha fakahoko ia ʻi he founga ne mei fakahoko ʻaki ʻe ha tokotaha lahi ʻoku anga-māʻoniʻoni. ʻI he hili pē ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi, ne kamata ke lipooti mai e ngaahi olá.

Tuku muʻa ke u tala atu e meʻa ne fai ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo homou ngaahi kaungāmeʻá:3

  • Ne kai e foʻi kālotí he taimi kai hoʻataá ʻaki ha loto-houngaʻia ʻoku lahi angé.

  • Ko e mūsika mo e ngaahi fakamafola angamaheni he ʻinitanetí ne fetongi ʻaki ia ha mūsika fakalaumālie, ngaahi lea he konifelenisi lahí mo e ngaahi fakamafola ʻo e Haʻu, ʻo Muimui ʻIate Aú.

  • Ne tamateʻi e ngaahi polokamala televīsone ne lea taʻe tāú.

  • Ne fokotuʻutuʻu fakalelei e ngaahi “lisi ngāue ne fuʻu tōtuʻá.”

  • Ne fai ha lotu kimuʻa pea toki fai e ngaahi ngāue fakaako faingataʻá, ke fakaafeʻi e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ke Ne hoko ko e faiakó.

  • Ne fakamānako e folofolá ʻi ha ngaahi taimi lahi—ʻo aʻu pē ki he kimuʻa pea fai ha siví, ʻa ia ne maʻu ai ha ngaahi ola fakaofo.

  • Ne toe foki mai e ngaahi tōʻonga fakaivia fakalaumālie ne mole talu mei he ʻosi mai hili ha ngāue fakafaifekaú.

  • Ne hoko e taimi fakaʻuli he meʻalelé ko ha taimi fakalaulauloto fakalongolongo ia.

  • Ko e ngaahi fakakaukau kovi kīkīvoí naʻe fetongi ia ʻaki hano fakalau e fanga kiʻi ikuna īkí mo e ngaahi tāpuaki kehekehé.

  • Ko e lomilomí mo e paepaé ne fetongi ʻaki ia e tā telefoní mo e ʻaʻahi tonu ki he tokotahá.

  • Ne fakalahi e taimi moʻó e temipalé—kae pehē foki ki hono fakahoko ʻe he husepānití ʻa e ngāue fakaʻapí!

  • Pea naʻe mahulu ʻaupito ʻa hono aʻusia e ʻofa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí!

Ko e hā mo ha toe meʻa naʻe hoko?

Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe ha tokotaha “ʻa e mālohi ʻo [ʻene] tauʻatāina ke filí!” Naʻá ne toe pehē, “ʻI heʻeku fili ke mamata ʻi he konifelenisi lahí ko ha tokotaha lahi kei talavou ʻoku anga-māʻoniʻoní, naʻe ʻikai ke u mamataʻí ke fakahōifua ki ha taha pe ke puleʻi e founga ʻoku sio mai ai e kakaí kiate aú. Ka naʻá ku mamata aí he naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ʻoku moʻoni e Siasi ko ʻení. ʻOku moʻoni ʻa e ongoongoleleí. Ko e kau tangata mo e kau fafine ʻoku nau lea maí ʻoku ueʻi mo tataki kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí, pea naʻá ku fakaʻamu ke u ako.”

Ne lipooti mai ʻe ha “tokotaha ʻoku tokanga maʻu pē ke fakamānako ki he kakaí” ne hōloa ʻene loto-mafasia he ngāué. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē: “Naʻe hoko ʻa hono ʻeke pē kiate au ʻa e foʻi fehuʻi ko iá ke matuʻaki liliu ai ʻeku fakakaukaú. Ne u maʻu ha loto-falala foʻou he naʻá ku manatuʻi ʻa hono mahuʻinga ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga angé. Ne u ako ʻo ʻiloʻi ko ʻete anga-māʻoniʻoni angé, ko e siʻi ange ia ʻete hohaʻa ke fai e meʻa ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe he tokotaha kotoa peé kae lahi ange ki he meʻa ʻoku finangalo ki ai e ʻOtuá.”

Temipale Sōlekí

Siʻoku kāinga ʻofeina, ʻi he taimi ní, ʻoku hoko ʻa e Temipale Salt Lake ko ha faʻunga fakaofo, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko ha temipale ia ʻa e ʻEikí ʻoku lolotonga fakaʻaongaʻi. Lolotonga hono foua ʻe he fale fakaholomamata ko iá ha ngaahi fakaleleiʻi lahi mo hano fakafefeka ʻo e ngaahi fakavaʻé, kuo fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ai ʻa e fatongia fakatemipale ʻo e Temipale Salt Lake. ʻI he taimi ʻoku fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ai ha temipale, ʻoku toʻo leva e meʻa ko ia ʻoku toputapú—ʻa ē ʻoku fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi ouaú mo e fakahinohinó. Ko hono fakamamahí, ko e meʻa tatau pē ʻe lava ke hoko ki he kakaí.

Tuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi fakatanga ʻa Sētané, ngaahi fili halá, mo e ngaahi feohi fakatuʻutāmaki mo e kakai ʻi he fuʻu fale lahi mo ʻataʻataá, ʻoku fakamamahi ai ʻa e mole ʻa e ngaahi meʻa toputapú mei he moʻui ʻa ha kakai lalahi kei talavou tokolahi. Ko e kakai lalahi kei talavoú ni—hangē ko e laú—kuo fakataʻeʻaongaʻi kinautolu mei heʻenau hoko ko e “fale tapu ʻo e ʻOtuá.”4

Sai, neongo pe kuo hoko ʻeni kiate koe pe ʻikai, ka ʻoku ou fakaafeʻi koe ke ke fakafoki mai—pe ke fakatupulaki—ʻa e meʻa toputapu ʻi hoʻo moʻuí ʻaki haʻo fakahoko ʻa e meʻa kuo fekauʻi ʻe he ʻEikí, ʻa ia ko e “ngāue ʻaki ʻa e anga-māʻoniʻoní … maʻu ai pē.” Mahalo te ke fie kamata ʻaki e ngāué ni haʻo fakahoko e meʻa ne fakahoko homou toʻú: fehuʻi pē kiate koe—ʻi ha foʻi tūkunga pē ʻe taha ʻi he foʻi ʻaho takitaha ʻe tolú—“Ko e hā nai e meʻa ʻe fai ʻe ha tokotaha lahi kei talavou ʻoku anga-māʻoniʻoní?” Peá ke fakahoko leva ia.

ʻI he fakalalahi ange e faingataʻá ʻi hoʻo moʻuí,5 pea ʻi hoʻo feinga ke ke anga-māʻoniʻoni ange he ʻaho takitaha mo vave ke fakatomala he taimi te ke fehalaaki aí, te ke maʻu ʻa e fiefiá ʻi he moʻuí ni mo e moʻui taʻengata ʻi he maama ka hoko maí. Pea ʻe kamata ke ke foua, ʻi ha founga loloto mo fakangalongataʻa, ʻa e meʻa naʻe talaʻofa tonu ʻe heʻetau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi he taimi naʻá Ne folofola ai ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou mafai ke ngaohi ʻa kimoutolu ke māʻoniʻoni.”6

Siʻoku kāinga ʻofeina, ʻe lea atu ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoni kiate kimoutolu he taimí ni. ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni atu—pea te u lava ʻo fakamoʻoni ʻi ha fakamaauʻanga ʻi ha faʻahinga feituʻu pē ʻi mamani—ko Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoní ko e palōfita ia ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi māmani he ʻaho ní—ʻa ia kuó Ne fili mo fakahinohinoʻí. ʻI he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻēmeni.
