ʻOku finangalo e ʻOtua ko e Tamaí ke toe foki hake ʻa ʻEne fānaú, ʻi ha ngaahi fāmili pea ʻi he nāunau.

Neongo pe ko e fē feituʻu ʻoku mou ʻi aí pe founga ʻoku aʻutaki atu ai hoku leʻó, mou meaʻi muʻa neongo ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fakataha heni, ka ʻoku mau ongoʻi homou laumālié. ʻOku mau fakatauange pē ʻoku mou ongoʻi fāitaha mo kimautolu—ke mou ongoʻi e mālohi fakalaumālie ʻoku maʻu he taimi ʻoku fakataha ai ha kakai tui ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.
Kuó u ongoʻi ke u lea atu kiate kimoutolu he ʻahó ni ʻo fekauʻaki mo ha fakataha kehe. Ko e faʻahinga fakataha ia ʻoku ʻikai hoko he māhina ʻe ono kotoa pē ʻo hangē ko e konifelenisi lahí. Ka kuo hokohoko mai ia talu mei hono Toe Fakafoki mai ʻo e Siasí, pea kuo fakavaveʻi ia he ngaahi taʻu kimui ní. ʻOku ou ʻuhinga ki hono tānaki fakataha mai ʻo e fāmili ʻo e ʻOtuá.
Ke fakamatalaʻi e tānaki ko ʻení, mahalo ʻe lelei ke tau kamata mei he taimi hotau fanauʻí, kimuʻa pea hoko e taimi ʻoku ui ʻe he Tohi Tapú “ko e kamataʻangá” (Sēnesi 1:1). Naʻa tau nofo he taimi ko iá mo e Tamai Hēvaní ko ʻEne fānau fakalaumālié. ʻOku moʻoni ʻeni ki he toko taha kotoa pē kuo moʻui ʻi he māmaní.
Ko e hingoa, “tokouá” mo e “tuongaʻané” mo e “tuofefiné,” naʻe ʻikai ko ha lea fakafeʻiloaki pē ia pe fakalaulaunoa kiate kitautolu. Ko hano fakahaaʻi ia ʻo ha moʻoni taʻengata: Ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e Tamai moʻoni e faʻahinga kotoa ʻo e tangatá; ʻoku tau kau kotoa ki Hono fāmili taʻengatá. Koeʻuhí ʻokú Ne ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu ʻaki e ʻofa haohaoa ʻa e Tamaí, ʻokú Ne finangalo ke tau fakalakalaka ke tau hoko ʻo hangē ko Iá. Naʻá Ne fokotuʻu ha palani ke tau omi ki he māmaní ʻi ha ngaahi fāmili, ʻo maʻu ha aʻusia ʻe teuteuʻi ai kitautolu ke tau toe foki kiate Ia ʻo moʻui hangē ko ʻEne moʻuí.
Ko e ngaahi tefitoʻi ʻelemēniti ʻo e palani ko ʻení, ʻa e talaʻofa ko ia ʻe foaki ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻEne moʻuí ko ha feilaulau, ke fakahaofi kitautolu mei he angahalá mo e maté. Ko hotau fatongia he palani ko iá, ke tali lelei e feilaulau ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, ʻaki ʻetau talangofua ki he ngaahi fono mo e ngaahi ouau ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Naʻá ta tali ʻa e palani ko ʻení. Ko hono moʻoní ne ta fiefia ai, neongo naʻe pau ke ta mavahe mei he ʻao ʻetau Tamaí pea ngalo ʻiate kitautolu e meʻa ne tau aʻusia mo Iá.
Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ʻomi noa pē kitautolu ki heni. Naʻe foaki mai kiate kitautolu takitaha ha konga ʻo e maama ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku ui ko e “Maama ʻa Kalaisí,” ke tokoni ke tau fakafaikehekeheʻi ʻa e leleí mo e koví, totonú mo ia ʻoku halá. Ko e ʻuhinga ʻeni ʻoku lava ai ʻe kinautolu ne moʻui kae ʻikai ʻilo ki he palani ʻa e Tamaí, ʻo ongoʻi ʻi honau lotó ʻoku totonu mo lelei ha ngaahi tōʻonga ʻe niʻihi, kae kovi ha niʻihi.
ʻOku fuʻu ʻilonga ʻetau ongoʻi e totonú mo e halá he taimi ʻoku tau ʻohake ai ʻetau fānaú. ʻOku maʻu ʻe he mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻa e holi ke akoʻi ki heʻenau fānaú ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga maʻá. Ko e konga ʻeni ʻo e mana ʻi he palani ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní. ʻOkú Ne finangalo ke omi ʻEne fānaú ki he māmaní, ʻo muimui ki he sīpinga taʻengata ʻo e ngaahi fāmili naʻe ʻi he langí. Ko e fāmilí ko e tefitoʻi ʻiuniti ia ʻo e taʻengatá, pea ko ʻEne taumuʻá ke nau toe hoko foki ko e tefitoʻi ʻiuniti ʻi he māmaní. Neongo ʻoku ʻikai haohaoa e ngaahi fāmili fakaemāmaní, ka ʻoku maʻu ai ʻe he fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá e faingamālie lelei taha ke talitali kinautolu ki he māmaní ʻi he ʻofa pē ko ia ʻoku ofi taha ki he meʻa ne tau ongoʻi ʻi he langí—ʻa e ʻofa fakaemātuʻá. Ko e ngaahi fāmilí foki ʻa e founga lelei taha ke paotoloaki mo tukuʻau hifo ai e ngaahi ʻulungāanga maʻá mo e tefitoʻi moʻoni leleí, ʻa ia te ne ala tataki kitautolu ke tau toe foki ki he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá.
Ko ha kiʻi konga siʻi pē ʻo e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he moʻui ko ʻení, ʻoku mahino kakato kiate kinautolu e palani ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea nau lava ʻo maʻu e ngaahi ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo e ngaahi fuakava ʻe lava ke fakaʻaongaʻi lelei ai e mālohi fakalelei ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. ʻE lava foki ʻe kinautolu ʻoku maʻu ha mātuʻa lelei tahá ʻo moʻui faivelenga ʻo fakatatau mo e maama ʻoku nau maʻú, neongo ʻoku teʻeki ai ke nau fanongo ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne Fakaleleí pe fakaafeʻi ke papitaiso ʻi Hono huafá. Kuo moʻoni ʻeni ʻi hotau kāinga ʻe laui miliona ʻi he hisitōlia ʻo e māmaní.
Mahalo ʻe taku ʻe ha niʻihi ʻoku ʻikai totonu ʻeni. Mahalo te nau lau ko ha fakamoʻoni ia ʻoku ʻikai ha palani, pe fie maʻu makehe ki he fakamoʻuí—pea nau ongoʻi he ʻikai hanga ʻe ha ʻOtua ia mo ʻofa ʻo faʻu ha palani ʻe ʻatā pē ke maʻu ʻe ha konga siʻi ʻo ʻEne fānaú.

Ka ʻokú ta fakatou ʻiloʻi, tuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi moʻoni ne toe fakafoki mai ʻi he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, ʻa e lahi ange e angaʻofa mo e angatonu ia e palani ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku hohaʻa mai ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ke Ne tānaki mo tāpuekina kotoa ʻa Hono fāmilí.

Pea ko e fāmilí ʻa e uho ʻo e palani ko ʻení.
Naʻe pehē ʻe he palōfita ko Malakaí ʻi he ngaahi senituli kuohilí, ʻe ʻi ai e ʻaho ʻe fekauʻi mai ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻIlaisiā ke “liliu ʻa e loto ʻo e mātuʻá ki he fānaú, pea ko e loto ʻo e fānaú ki heʻenau mātuʻá” (Malakai 4:6).
Naʻe fuʻu mahuʻinga fau e kikite ko ʻení, he naʻe toe folofola ʻaki ia ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻi Heʻene ʻaʻahi ki he Ongo ʻAmeliká hili ʻEne toetuʻú (vakai, 3 Nīfai 25:5–6). Pea ʻi he ʻaʻahi ʻa e ʻāngelo ko Molonai ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, naʻá ne leaʻaki foki e kikite ʻa ʻIlaisiaá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e lotó, ngaahi tamaí mo e fānaú (vakai, Siosefa Sāmita—Hisitōlia 1:36–39).

Talu mei he ʻaho ko iá ki he ʻahó ni, mo e fakautuutu e tokanga ʻa e kakaí ki hono takitaha hisitōlia fakafāmili. ʻOku toe fakautuutu ange ʻa e vāofi e kakaí mo ʻenau ngaahi kuí, ʻi heʻenau mahuʻingaʻia aí. Kuo fokotuʻu ha ngaahi laipeli mo e kautaha tohi-hohoko mo e tekinolosia he māmaní ke tokoni ki he tokanga makehe ko ʻení. Kuo hanga ʻe he mālohi ʻo e ʻinitanetí ke fakatupulaki e fetuʻutakí, ʻo ʻai ke malava e ngaahi fāmilí ʻo ngāue fakataha ke fai e hisitōlia fakafāmilí ʻi ha founga vave mo maau kuo teʻeki ke tau mātā kimuʻa.

Te tau lava foki ʻo ui tatau ia “ko hono fakakakato ʻo e kikité.” ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni atu naʻe haʻu ʻa ʻIlaisiā. Kuo liliu e loto ʻo e fānaú—ʻa kitaua ia —ki heʻetau ngaahi tamaí, ko ʻetau ngaahi kuí.

Naʻe ʻikai ke maʻu e ngaahi ouau ko iá ʻe ha toko lahi hoʻo ngaahi kuí. Ka naʻá ke maʻu ia ʻi he founga ʻa e ʻOtuá.

ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku moʻoni ʻeni, mei he meʻa kuó u aʻusiá. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu lahi kuohilí, ʻi heʻeku kei ako ʻunivēsití, ne u feʻiloaki ai mo ha tangata ne ngāue ʻi ha taha ʻo e ngaahi kautaha komipiuta lalahi taha he māmaní.

Kiate au, naʻe ʻikai kau e tangata tuʻuakí ni ia ki ha siasi. Ka naʻá ne lea mai ʻi he ofo mo e vēkeveke, “ʻOku nau fekumi he siasí ni ki he meʻa ʻoku nau ui ko e ʻtohi hohoko,ʻ ʻo kumi e hingoa ʻo e kakai pekiá ke ʻiloʻi ʻenau ngaahi kuí.
