“Fekumi ki he Fiefiá,” Ki Hono Fakamālohia ʻo e Toʻu Tupú, Fēpueli 2024.
Haʻu, ʻo Muimui ʻIate Au
Fekumi ki he Fiefiá
ʻOku maʻu ʻa e fiefia ʻoku tuʻuloá ʻi hono moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.
Koeʻuhí ko e ʻofa haohaoa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ʻiate koé, ʻokú Ne vēkeveke ke vahevahe ʻEne fiefia haohaoá mo koe—ʻi he taimí ni pea ʻi he taʻengatá. Kuo hoko ia ko ʻene taumuʻá ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē talu mei he kamataʻangá, kau ai ʻEne palani nāunauʻia ʻo e fiefiá mo e feilaulau ʻa Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí.
ʻI he taimi naʻe nofo ai ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ʻi he Ngoue ko ʻĪtení, naʻá na ʻi ha tuʻunga anga-taʻehalaia. Naʻe “ʻikai [ke na] maʻu ha fiefia, he naʻe ʻikai te na ʻiloʻi ha mamahi; ʻo ʻikai fai ha lelei, he naʻe ʻikai te na ʻiloʻi ha angahala.” (2 Nīfai 2:23). Ko ia, hangē ko e fakamatala ʻa Līhaí, “Naʻe hinga ʻa ʻĀtamá koeʻuhi ke ʻi ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá; pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻa e fiefiá” (2 Nīfai 2:25; vakai foki, Mōsese 5:10–11).
ʻI he māmani hingá ni, ʻokú ke ako ai ʻa e faikehekehe ʻo e leleí mo e koví mei he meʻa ʻoku akoʻi atú mo ia ʻokú ke aʻusiá. “ʻOkú [ke] ʻiloʻi ai ʻa e meʻa mahí, koeʻuhí ke [ke] ʻiloʻi hono fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e leleí” (Mōsese 6:55). ʻOku maʻu ʻa e fiefiá ʻi hoʻo fekumi ki aí ʻaki hono fakasītuʻaʻi ʻa e koná kae fakautuutu ange hoʻo fakamahuʻingaʻi mo pīkitai ki he leleí.
Ko Hono Maʻu ʻo e Fiefiá
ʻOku ʻikai fakamālohiʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e nēkeneká pe fiefiá kiate koe, ka ʻokú Ne akoʻi atu ʻa e founga ke maʻu ai iá. ʻOkú Ne toe fakahā atu foki ʻa e feituʻu he ʻikai lava ke maʻu ai ʻa e fiefiá—“[ʻoku ʻikai pea] kuo teʻeki ai hoko ʻa e faiangahalá ko e fiefia” (ʻAlamā 41:10).
ʻOku maʻu ʻa e fiefia tuʻuloá ʻi hono tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOkú Ne ʻomi ʻa ʻEne ngaahi fekaú, ʻa ia ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ke ke maʻu ai ʻa e fiefiá. ʻOku ʻikai ke nau fakamafasia ka ʻoku nau huʻi ʻa e mafasiá. Kapau he ʻikai te ke lava ʻi ha taimi ke tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekaú, te ke kei lava pē ʻo tafoki, siʻaki ʻa e koná, pea toe tulifua ki he leleí ʻo fakafou ʻi he fakatomalá, ʻa ia ʻoku malava ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo fakafou ʻi Heʻene feilaulau fakaleleí (vakai, Hilamani 5:10–11).
Naʻe folofola ʻa Sīsū:
“Kapau ʻoku mou fai ʻeku ngaahi fekaú, te mou nofo ʻi heʻeku ʻofá; ʻo hangē ko ʻeku fai ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa ʻeku Tamaí, peá u nofo ʻi heʻene ʻofá.
“Kuó u lea ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhí ke u maʻu maʻu ai pē ʻa e fiefiá ʻiate kimoutolu, pea ke kakato ai hoʻomou fiefiá” (Sione 15:10–11).
Ko e meʻa ʻeni naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Līhai ʻi heʻene misí ʻi heʻene ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa e fua ʻo e ʻakau ʻo e moʻuí, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻI heʻeku kai ʻi hono fuá naʻe fakafonu ʻe ia ʻa hoku laumālié ʻaki ha fuʻu fiefia lahi” (1 Nīfai 8:12; vakai foki, 1 Nīfai 11:21–23).
Naʻe fakahā foki ʻe Līhai ha founga ʻe taha ke maʻu ai ʻa e fiefiá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Ko ia, naʻe kamata ke u fakaʻamu ke kai ai foki mo hoku fāmilí” (1 Nīfai 8:12).
Ko Hono Tokoniʻi ʻa e Niʻihi Kehé ke Maʻu ʻa e Fiefiá
ʻI hono moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí, ʻe lava ke ke “fonu ʻi he fiefiá” (Mōsaia 4:3). Ka ko e konga lahi ʻo e fiefia ʻi hoʻo moʻuí, ʻi heni pea mo e moʻui ka hoko maí, ʻe hoko ia ʻi he taimi te ke vakai atu ai ki tuʻa mo fekumi ke tokoniʻi ʻa e fāmilí, ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, mo e niʻihi kehé ke nau maʻu ʻa e fiefia mo e melino tatau kuo foaki mai ʻe he ʻOtuá. Ko e founga lelei taha ʻeni ke fakahaaʻi ai hoʻo ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá pea ki hoʻo kaungāʻapí (vakai, Mātiu 22:37–39).
ʻI he kei talavou ʻa ʻAlamaá, naʻá ne fekumi ki he fiefiá ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fakafepaki ki he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. Hili hono valokiʻi ia ʻe ha ʻāngeló, naʻá ne aʻusia ʻa e “koná” peá ne aʻusia ʻa e “leleí” ʻi he fakatomala pea mo e ʻaloʻofa lahi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí (vakai, Mōsaia 27:28–29). Hili ha ngaahi taʻu mei ai, naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻAlamā ki hono foha ko Hilamaní:
“ʻOiauē, ko e fiefia, mo e maama fakaofo kuó u vakai ki aí; ʻio, naʻe fonu hoku laumālié ʻi he fuʻu fiefia naʻe tatau hono lahí mo hoku mamahí! …
“ʻIo, pea talu mei he taimi ko iá ʻo aʻu mai ki he taimí ni, mo ʻeku ngāue taʻetuku, ke u lava ʻo fakatafoki mai ha kakai ki he fakatomalá; ke u ʻomi ʻa kinautolu ke nau ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa e fuʻu fiefia lahi ʻa ia naʻá ku ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe aú. …
“ʻIo, pea ko ʻeni vakai, … ʻoku foaki kiate au ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e fuʻu fiefia lahi ʻaupito ʻi he fua ʻo ʻeku ngaahi ngāué” (ʻAlamā 36:20, 24–25).
Naʻe ongoʻi foki ʻe ʻAlamā ha fiefia lahi ʻi he taimi naʻe lavameʻa ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻi hono ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi laumālié kia Kalaisí, pea naʻe lahi fau ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻave ai hono laumālié ʻi he fiefia lahi (vakai, ʻAlamā 29:14–16).
Te ke lava ʻo maʻu ʻa e fiefia tatau ʻi hoʻo ʻofa ki he niʻihi kehé ʻaki ʻa e “ʻofa haohaoa ʻa Kalaisí” (Molonai 7:47; vakai foki ki he veesi 48), vahevahe ʻa e moʻoni kuo fakafoki maí mo kinautolu, pea fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau fakataha mo e kakai fuakava ʻa e ʻOtuá.
Te ke Lava ʻo Ongoʻi ʻa e Fiefiá Neongo ʻa e Faingataʻa ʻa e Moʻuí
ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke ke manavasiʻi naʻa hanga ʻe he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi mo e ngaahi faingataʻa te ke fehangahangai mo ia ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié ʻo taʻofi pe fakaʻauha hoʻo fiefiá. ʻI hoʻo feinga ke moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí, ʻe lava ke “[mole] atu [ʻa hoʻo ngaahi faingataʻá] ʻi he fiefia ʻa Kalaisí” (ʻAlamā 31:38).
ʻOku fakamanatu mai ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni naʻe ʻi ai ha fatongia ʻo e fiefiá ʻi he mamahi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí (vakai, Hepelū 12:2). Naʻá ne pehē, “Koeʻuhí ke Ne malava ʻo foua e meʻa fakamamahi taha kuo hoko he māmaní, naʻe nofotaha pē hotau Fakamoʻuí ʻi he fiefiá!” Naʻe kau heni ʻa e “fiefia ʻo e fakamaʻá, fakamoʻuí, mo hono fakamālohia kitautolú; fiefia hono huhuʻi e angahala ʻa kinautolu kotoa ʻe fakatomalá; fiefia he malava ke tau foki ki ʻapi—ʻi he maʻa mo e taau—ʻo nofo mo ʻetau [Ongomātuʻa Fakalangí] mo e fāmili.
“Kapau te tau nofotaha heʻetau fiefiá, pe fiefia ʻa kinautolu ʻoku tau ʻofa aí, ko e hā mo ha toe meʻa te tau lava ʻo kātekina ʻe ngali tōtuʻa, fakamamahi, fakamanavahē, taʻe totonu, pe ngali taʻe malava?”1
ʻOku ou poupou atu ke mou fekumi ki he fiefiá ʻaki hono tali ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí mo tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke fai ʻa e meʻa tatau. ʻI he hala fononga ʻo e ongoongoleleí, ʻoku ʻi ai ha fiefia tuʻuloa ʻi he fonongʻangá mo e fiefia ʻi he ngataʻangá. Ko e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻa e hala ki he fiefia maʻu peé.
