Ko e Hā ʻa e Ngāue ʻo e Fakamoʻuí?

Ko e ngāue ʻo e fakamoʻuí ko e ngāue ia ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ke “fakahoko ʻa e moʻui taʻe-faʻa-mate mo e moʻui taʻengata ʻa e tangatá” (Mōsese 1:39). ʻOku kau ʻi he ngāue mahuʻinga ko ʻení ʻa e ngāue fakafaifeaku ʻa e mēmipá, pukepuke ʻo e uluí, fakamālohia e kau mēmipa māmālohí, ngāue fakatemipalé mo e hisitōlia fakafāmilí, pea mo hono akoʻi ʻo e ongoongoleleí.1 ʻOku tau faʻa fakakaukau ʻoku ʻikai ha fekauʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tafaʻaki ko ʻeni ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Ka ʻi he Ko e Ngāue ʻo e Fakamoʻuí: Fakamafola Fakatakimuʻa Fakaemāmani Lahi ʻo e ʻaho 23 ʻo Sune 2013, ne akoʻi ai ʻe ʻEletā Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ko e “ʻoku ʻikai fakamavahevaheʻi ʻa e ngāué ni. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha ngaahi ngāue mavahevahe ʻeni; ko e konga kotoa kinautolu ʻo e ngāue ʻo e fakamoʻuí.”2

Ko e kupuʻi lea ko ia ko e “Fakavaveʻi e Ngāue ʻo e Fakamoʻuí”—ʻa e hingoa ʻo e fakamafola ʻoku ʻalu fakataha mo e uepisaiti (hasteningthework.lds.org)—ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí: “Vakai, te u fakavavevaveʻi ʻa ʻeku ngāué ʻi hono taimí” (T&F 88:73).

ʻOku hoko ʻa e ngaahi ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki mahuʻingá—ʻa e papitaisó, hilifakinimá, fakanofo ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻa e houʻeiki tangatá, pea mo e ngaahi ouau ʻo e temipalé—ko ha makamaile ʻi hotau halá ʻi heʻetau foki ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní. ʻI heʻetau kau ki he ngāue ʻo e fakamoʻuí, ʻoku tau muimui pea ueʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau muimui ʻi he hala ko ʻeni ʻo e fuakavá.

ʻOku Ngāue Fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú mo e Kau Faifekaú ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Ngaahi Kī ʻo e Lakanga Fakataulaʻeikí

Kuo hokosia e taimi ke toe fai ai e tokanga ki he tefitoʻi moʻoni mahuʻinga ko ia ko e taimi ʻoku tau kau ai ki he Siasi ʻo e ʻEikí kuo ui kakato ki Heʻene ngāue ʻo e fakamoʻuí. ʻOku maʻu ʻe he kau palesiteni fakasiteikí mo e kau pīsopé ʻa e kī ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻi honau ʻiuniti ʻi he Siasí3 pea tokoniʻi e kāingalotú ke fakahoko ʻa ia ʻoku fakahoko ʻe he kau ākonga moʻoni ʻa Kalaisí—ʻa hono vahevahe ʻo e maama ʻo e ongoongoleleí. ʻOku maʻu ʻe he kau palesiteni fakamisioná ʻa e kī ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻa ia te nau lava ai ʻo tataki e ngāue ʻa e kau faifekau ʻoku nau takí.4 ʻOku akoʻi e kau faifekau taimi kakató ke akoʻi ʻa kinautolu kuo nau mateuteu ke tali e ongoongoleleí. ʻOku nau tokoniʻi e kāingalotú ʻi heʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú, ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e kāingalotú ki he faifekaú.

Lolotonga e fakamafolá, ne pehē ai ʻe Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni: “Ko e taimi ʻeni ke ngāue fakataha ai e kāingalotú mo e kau faifekaú, ke nau ngāue ʻi he ngoue vaine ʻa e ʻEikí ke ʻomai e ngaahi laumālié kiate Ia. Kuó Ne teuteu e founga ke tau vahevahe ʻaki e ongoongoleleí ʻi ha founga lahi, pea te Ne tokoniʻi ʻetau ngāué kapau te tau ngāue ʻi he tui ke fakahoko ʻEne ngāué.”5
