ʻOku fakatou fie maʻu ʻe he kau maʻu lakanga fakataulaʻeiki talavou mo matuʻotuʻá ʻa e mafaí mo e mālohí—ʻa ia ko e ngofua pea mo e ivi fakalaumālie ia ʻoku fie maʻu ke fakafofongaʻi ai e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngāue ʻo e fakamoʻuí.
Siʻoku ngaahi tokoua, ʻoku hounga kiate au ʻa e malava ke tau fakataha mai ko ha kulupu tokolahi ʻo e kau maʻu lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. ʻOku ou ʻofa mo tanganeʻia ʻi hoʻomou moʻui tāú mo e tākiekina lelei ʻoku mou fai ʻi he māmaní.
ʻOku ou fakaafeʻi atu e taha kotoa ‘o kimoutolu ke mou fakakaukau pe te mou tali fēfē ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻeni naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Tēvita O. Makei ki he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí he ngaahi taʻu lahi kuo hilí: “Kapau ʻe fehuʻi atu he taimí ni kiate koe ke ke fakamatalaʻi ʻi ha foʻi sētesi ʻe taha pe kupuʻi lea ʻa e meʻa mahuʻinga taha ʻi he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, ko e hā hoʻo talí?” (“The Mission of the Church and Its Members,” Improvement Era, Nov. 1956, 781).
Ko e tali naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Makei ki heʻene fehuʻí ko e “mafai fakalangi” ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. ʻOku makehe e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní mei he ngaahi siasi kehe ʻoku nau tala ko honau mafaí ko e tukuʻau mai hono foakí mei ha taha ki ha taha ʻi he hisitōliá, pe ko e folofolá, pe ako fakalotú. ʻOku tau fakahā mahino naʻe foaki mai e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, ʻi he hilifaki fakahangatonu ʻo e nimá ʻe ha kau talafekau fakalangi.
ʻOku fakatefito ʻeku pōpoakí ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeiki fakalangi ko ʻení pea mo e ngaahi mālohi ʻo e langí. ʻOku ou lotua fakamātoato e tokoni ʻa e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí ke tau ako fakataha e ngaahi moʻoni mahuʻingá ni.
Mafai mo e Mālohi ʻo e Lakanga Fakataulaʻeikí
Ko e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ko e mafai ia ʻo e ʻOtuá naʻe tuku mai ki he tangatá he māmaní ke ngāue ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ki hono fakamoʻui e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, (vakai, Spencer W. Kimball, “The Example of Abraham,” Ensign, June 1975, 3). Ko e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻa e founga ʻoku ngāue mai ai e ʻEikí ke fakahaofi e ngaahi laumālié. Ko e meʻa mahuʻinga ʻe taha ʻi he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, tatau pē he kuonga muʻá mo e ʻahó ni, ko Hono mafaí. He ʻikai lava ke ʻi ai ha Siasi moʻoni taʻe maʻu e mafai fakalangí.
ʻOku foaki e mafai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ki he kakai tangata hangē pē ko kitauá. ʻOku ʻikai ko e meʻa ne aʻusiá, taukeí, pe akó—ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ke fakanofo ai ha taha ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí—ka ko e moʻui tāú mo e loto fiemālie ke ngāué.
ʻOku hanga ʻe he tefito ʻo e tui hono nimá ʻo fakamatalaʻi e sīpinga ki hono maʻu e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí: “ʻOku mau tui kuo pau ke ui ha tangata ʻe he ʻOtuá, ʻi he kikite, pea ʻi he hilifaki ʻo e nima ʻe kinautolu ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e mafaí, ke malanga ʻaki ʻa e Ongoongoleleí mo fakahoko hono ngaahi ouaú.” Ko ia ai, ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tamasiʻi pe tangata ʻa e mafai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí pea fakanofo ia ki ha lakanga pau, ʻe ha taha kuó ne maʻu e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí pea ʻosi fakamafaiʻi ʻe ha takimuʻa ʻokú ne maʻu e ngaahi kī totonu ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.
ʻOku ʻi ai e ʻamanaki ʻe hanga ʻe ha taha ʻokú ne maʻu e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi e mafai toputapú ni ʻo fakatatau mo e fakakaukau, finangalo mo e ngaahi taumuʻa māʻoniʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku ʻikai ke siokita e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. ʻOku fakaʻaongaʻi maʻu pē ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ke tokoni, tāpuekina, mo fakamālohia e kakai kehé.
ʻOku maʻu e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki māʻolunga angé ʻi ha fuakava molumalu ʻo kau ai e tufakanga ke ngāue ʻaki e mafaí (vakai, T&F 68:8) pea mo e lakanga (vakai, T&F 107:99) kuo foaki atú. ʻI heʻetau maʻu e mafai toputapu ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻoku tau hoko ai ko ha kau fakafofonga ke ngāue ʻo ʻikai tali pē ke toki fakakounaʻi ke ngāue (vakai, 2 Nīfai 2:26). ʻOku longomoʻui e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí kae ʻikai fakafiefiemālie pē.
Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni ‘Eselā Tafi Penisoni ʻo pehē:
“ʻOku ʻikai ke feʻunga pē hono maʻu e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí pea nofonoa ʻo tali ai ke toki ueʻi kitautolu ʻe ha taha ke tau ngāue. ʻOku fie maʻu ke tau longomoʻui mo femoʻuekina maʻu pē ʻi hono fai e ngāue ʻo e māʻoniʻoní ʻi he māmaní, ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau maʻu ai e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, he ʻoku folofola ʻa e ʻEikí:
“‘… Ka ko ia ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne fai ha meʻa kae ʻoua ke toki fekauʻí, peá ne tali ʻa e fekaú ʻi he loto veiveiua peá ne tauhi ki ai ʻi he fakapikopikó, ʻoku malaʻia ia’ [T&F 58:29]” (So Shall Ye Reap [1960], 21).
Naʻe toe fakamamafaʻi mai ʻe Palesiteni Sipenisā W. Kimipolo ʻa e natula longomoʻui ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí: “ʻOku maumauʻi ʻe ha taha e fuakava ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻi he taimi ʻokú ne maumauʻi ai e ngaahi fekaú—pea mo hono taʻe fakahoko hono ngaahi fatongiá. Pea ʻoku pehē pē, mo maumauʻi ʻe ha taha ʻa e fuakavá ko ʻene taʻe fai ha meʻá ” (Ko e Mana ʻo e Fakamolemolé [1969], 96).
ʻE tāpuekina kitautolu ʻaki e mālohi ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakahoko ʻaki ai hotau lelei tahá e ngaahi fatongia he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. Ko e mālohi ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, ko e mālohi ia ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku ngāue ʻi he kakai tangata mo e fānau tangata hangē ko kitautolú pea ‘oku fie maʻu ki ai ‘a e angatonu fakatāutahá, faivelengá, talangofuá, mo e mateakí. ʻE lava ke maʻu ʻe ha tamasiʻi pe tangata e mafai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻi he hilifaki ʻo e nimá ka he ʻikai ke ne maʻu e mālohi ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí kapau ʻokú ne talangataʻa, taʻe taau, pe taʻe fie ngāue.
“Ko e ngaahi totonu ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí kuo fakamaʻu taʻelava ke veteki ki he ngaahi mālohi ʻo e langí, pea … ʻoku ʻikai lava ke mapuleʻi pe ngāue ʻaki e ngaahi mālohi ʻo e langí kae ngata pē ʻi he ngaahi founga ʻo e māʻoniʻoní.
“ʻOku moʻoni pē ʻoku lava ke foaki ia kiate kitautolu; ka ʻo ka tau ka feinga ke ʻufiʻufi ʻetau ngaahi angahalá pe fakafiemālieʻi ʻetau loto-hikisiá pe ko ʻetau kakapa taʻeʻaongá pe ngāue ʻaki ha fakakouna pe puleʻi pe fakamālohiʻi, ʻa e loto ʻo e fānau ʻa e tangatá ʻi ha kiʻi momoʻi founga taʻe-māʻoniʻoni, vakai, ʻoku mahuʻi atu leva ʻa e ngaahi langí; ʻoku mamahi mo e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí; pea ʻo ka toʻo atu ia, ko e ʻĒmeni ia ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeiki pe ko e mafai ʻo e tangata ko iá” (T&F 121:36–37; naʻe toki tānaki ʻa e fakamamafá).

Ko ha Lēsoni mei Heʻeku Tangataʻeikí
Naʻe ʻohake au ʻi ha ʻapi ne ʻi ai ha faʻē faivelenga mo ha tamai lelei. Ko ʻeku fineʻeikí ko ha hako ia ʻo e kau paioniá naʻa nau feilaulauʻi e meʻa kotoa pē maʻá e Siasí mo e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.

Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻalu ki he ʻapiako fakalotú kae ako ngāue fakatufunga ia mo huʻi vali.
Ne faʻa maʻu lotu ʻeku tangataʻeikí mo homau fāmilí ʻi he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, he konga lahi ʻo ʻene moʻuí.

Naʻá ne tali lelei mo fakapapauʻi mai he taimi kotoa pē ne u fakahohaʻasi ai iá ʻo pehē: “Tēvita, he ʻikai ke u kau ki he Siasí koeʻuhí ko hoʻo fineʻeikí, pe ko koe, pe ko ha toe taha kehe.

ʻOku ou tui ko hoku taʻu hongofulu tupu siʻí ia ne toe fai ai e fepōtalanoaʻaki ko ʻeni mo ʻeku tangataʻeikí.

Naʻe hoko atu ʻeku tangataʻeikí, “Tēvita, ʻoku akoʻi homou siasí naʻe ʻave ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mei māmani he kuonga muʻá pea toe fakafoki mai ia ʻe ha kau talafekau fakalangi ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, ʻikai ko ia?” Ne u talaange ʻoku tonu ʻene fakamatalá.
