Naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa e moʻoni mahuʻinga ko ʻení ʻi he ngaahi taʻu kuo hilí ʻe ha mēmipa ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú naʻe ngāue ʻi Hongo Kongo.

Naʻe akoʻi tonu kitautolu ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ke tau sio ki he fānaú ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga. ʻOku hiki ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú ʻEne talí ʻi he taimi ne fakafehuʻia ai ʻe Heʻene Kau ʻAposetoló pe ko hai ʻoku totonu ke lahi taha ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo e langí.

“Ko ia te ne fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e tamasiʻi siʻí ni, ko ia pē ʻoku lahi ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo e langí” (Mātiu 18:3–4).
Ko e hā te tau ako mei he fānaú? Ko e hā ha ngaahi ʻulungāanga lelei ʻoku nau maʻu pea ko e hā ha ngaahi sīpinga ʻoku nau fakatātaaʻi mai ʻe lava ke tokoni ki heʻetau fakalakalaka fakalaumālié?

Naʻe akoʻi kimautolu ʻe he kiʻi taʻahine Palaimeli ko Keití, ʻi heʻemau mamata ki heʻene tākiekina hono fāmilí.

ʻOku ako homau fāmilí mei ha kāinga ofi, ko e kiʻi tamasiʻi taʻu ono ko Liami. Naʻá ne fefaʻuhi he taʻu kuo hilí mo e kanisā ʻutó. Hili ha ongo tafa faingataʻa, ne ʻilo ai naʻe fie maʻu ke fai hano hulu (radiation). Lolotonga hono fakahoko e ngaahi faitoʻo ko ʻení, naʻe fie maʻu ia ke ne nofo toko taha pē pea tokoto maʻu. Naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Liami ke fakamohe ia he naʻá ne fehiʻa he ongo naʻá ne maʻu aí. Naʻá ne fakapapauʻi kapau te ne fanongo pē ki he leʻo ʻo ʻene tamaí ʻi he meʻa fakaongoleá, te ne lava pē ʻo tokoto maʻu kae ʻikai ke fakamohe ia.
Lolotonga e ngaahi taimi loto hohaʻa ko ʻení, naʻe lea fakalotolahi mo lotoʻofa mai ʻene tamaí kiate ia ʻo pehē, “Liami, neongo ʻoku ʻikai te ke lava ʻo sio mai kiate au, ka ʻoku ou ʻi heni pē. ʻOku ou ʻilo te ke lava ʻo fai ia. ʻOku ou ʻofa atu.” Naʻe lavaʻi lelei ʻe Liami ʻa e ngaahi faitoʻo hulu (radiation) ko ʻeni ʻe 33 naʻe fie maʻú ʻo ne tokoto maʻu ʻikai toe ngaue, ʻa ia ko ha lavameʻa ʻeni naʻe fakakaukau ʻa e kau toketaá he ʻikai malava kae ʻoua kuo fakamohe ha taha kei siʻi. ʻI he ngaahi māhina ʻo e mamahí mo e faingataʻaʻiá, naʻe hoko ʻa Liami ko ha sīpinga lelei ʻo e fehangahangai mo e faingataʻá ʻaki e ʻamanaki leleí mo e fiefiá.

ʻOku tau ako kotoa ha ngaahi lēsoni mahuʻinga meia Liami—ngaahi lēsoni kau ki hono fili ‘a e tuí mo e falala ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní. Hangē ko Liamí ʻoku ʻikai ke tau lava ʻo mamata ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní, ka te tau lava ʻo fanongo ki Hono leʻó ke ne ʻomi e mālohi ʻoku tau fie maʻú ke tau matuʻuaki e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e moʻuí.
ʻE lava nai ke tokoni e sīpinga ʻa Liamí ke toe mahino ange ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa e Tuʻi ko Penisimaní ke tau hangē ha tamasiʻi siʻí—ke angavaivai, angamalū, loto fakatōkilalo, faʻa kātaki, mo fonu ʻi he ʻofá? (vakai, Mōsaia 3:19 ).
ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he fānau ko ʻení ha ngaahi sīpinga ʻo e ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakatamasiʻi ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau fakatupulakí pe ke tau maʻu kae lava ke tau hū ki he puleʻanga ʻo e langí.

ʻI he kotoa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko he ʻaʻahi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ki he ongo ʻAmeliká, ʻoku mahuʻinga makehe pē ʻEne angaʻofa ki he fānaú. Naʻá Ne tokoniʻi e kiʻi tamasiʻi takitaha ʻi ha founga naʻe ongo moʻoni.
“Peá ne fua hake ʻa ʻenau fānau īkí, takitaha, ʻo ne tāpuakiʻi ʻa kinautolu mo hūfakiʻi ʻa kinautolu ki he Tamaí.

“Pea folofola ia ki he kakaí ʻo pehē ange kiate kinautolu: Vakai ki hoʻomou fānau īkí (3 Nīfai 17: 21–23).
Kuo akoʻi kitautolu ʻe ʻEletā M. Lāsolo Pālati ʻo kau ki he mahuʻinga ʻo e fakatokanga ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke “vakai ki hoʻomou fānau īkí,” ʻi heʻene pehē, “Fakatokangaʻi ange, naʻe ʻikai te Ne folofola ange, ʻmou sio kiate kinautolu’ pe ʻmou fakatokangaʻi ʻa kinautolu’ pe ʻfaʻa sio atu ki he feituʻu ʻoku nau ʻi aí.’ Ka naʻá Ne folofola ange ke nau vakai kiate kinautolu. ʻOku ou pehē ʻe au ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ke nau ʻofa ʻiate kinautolu ʻaki honau fofongá mo honau lotó; ʻoku totonu ke nau vakai mo fakahoungaʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻi he tuʻunga ʻoku nau ʻi aí:” ko e fānau fakalaumālie ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní, pea ʻoku ʻi ai honau ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakalangi” (“Vakai ki Hoʻomou Fānau Īkí,” Tūhulu, ʻOkatopa 1994, 35; ko e toki tānaki atu hono fakamamafaʻí).
ʻOku ʻikai ha toe feituʻu haohaoa ange ke tau “vakai [ai] ki heʻetau fānau īkí” ka ko hotau fāmilí. Ko ʻapi ʻa e feituʻu te tau lava kotoa ke ako mo tupulaki fakataha aí. ʻOku akoʻi ʻe heʻetau hiva Palaimeli fakaʻofoʻofá ʻa e moʻoni ko ʻení:
