‘E vakaiʻi ʻe he fakamatalá ni ʻa e meʻa ʻe lava ʻe he ongoongoleleí mo e saienisi fakaeʻatamaí ʻo akoʻi mai fekauʻaki mo e fiefiá. ‘I he peesi 18 ʻo e makasini ko ‘ení, ʻoku akoʻi ai ʻe ʻEletā Tēvita A.

Naʻe fai ʻe ʻEletā Sefilī R.

Ko e hā koā ʻoku totonu ke tau tokanga taha ki ai ke maʻu ai e fiefia ko iá? Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻo pehē, “Ki he Kāingalotú, ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e fiefiá!”3

ʻOku tau fakakaukau he taimi ʻe niʻihi ki he fiefiá ko ha moʻui ia ʻoku ʻikai ha palopalema pe faingataʻa. Ka neongo ia, he ʻikai lava ʻe he moʻui ʻoku ʻikai faingataʻaʻiá ʻo fakaʻatā ke tau maʻu e fakalakalaka ne tau omi ki heni ke aʻusiá.

Naʻe tuʻo taha ha akonaki ʻa ʻEletā Niila A. Mekisuele (1926–2004) ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē:

“He ʻikai lava ke fakatou maʻu ʻe ha taha … ha moʻui fonu ʻi he tuí pea mo taʻe loto mafasia. …

“… ʻE lava fēfē ke tau ʻamanaki ʻe lelei ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he moʻuí, ʻo hangē ʻoku tau pehē, ʻʻEiki, tuku ke u aʻusia ʻa e moʻuí kae ʻikai ko e loto-mafasiá, loto mamahí, faingataʻaʻia fakaesinó pe ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tuʻu fehangahangaí, lavakiʻi pea ʻoua foki naʻa liʻekina kitautolu. ʻEiki, ʻoua muʻa naʻa hoko mai kiate au ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻá Ke aʻusia ai Ho tuʻungá!

‘Oku mahino ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau faingataʻaʻia ʻi he moʻuí kae lava ke tau fakalakalaka, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻatā kitautolu ʻe he angatonú mei he faingataʻaʻiá. Vakai ki he moʻui ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá, Siope, ko e kakai ʻo ʻAlamaá, pea tautautefito ki hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí.6

‘Ikai, ʻoku ‘ikai ke fakahaofi kitautolu mei he palopalema mo e ngaahi faingataʻa kotoa pē. ‘Oku ʻikai ha taha ‘e hao. Ka te ke lava foki ‘o ‘amanaki ke maʻu e tokoni mo e fakamoʻui ʻa e ʻOtuá (vakai, ʻAlamā 36:3, 27). Naʻe akonaki ʻa ʻEletā Niila L. ʻEnitaseni ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē, “Kiate kimoutolu ko e kau māʻoniʻoní, ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he Fai-fakamoʻui ʻo hotau laumālié, ʻi Hono taimi mo ʻEne founga pē ʻAʻana ʻa ho ngaahi kafó kotoa.”7

Kapau ‘okú ke ongoʻi kuó ke kafo, ʻoku malava ke maʻu ʻa e fakamoʻuí. Te ke lava ʻo fakapapauʻi ʻoku moʻoni ʻeni (vakai, Mōsaia 14:4–5).

Naʻe tohi ʻe Haini Sāmita ko ha palōfesa ʻi he ʻUnivēsiti Pilikihami ʻIongí ʻo pehē, “Fēfē kapau ʻe lahi ha ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai lelei ʻi hoʻo tukufakaholó? ‘Oku ʻuhinga nai ia he ʻikai toe felave ha meʻa—he ʻikai te ke teitei fiefia pea ʻikai ha meʻa te ke toe lava ʻo fai ki ai? ʻIkai ʻaupito. … Kapau ‘oku ʻikai ngāue lelei ho ʻatamaí koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi meʻa ne tukufakaholó (hangē ko e kulukiatamakí, loto-hohaʻa, mo e alā meʻa pehē), ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi faitoʻo mo e founga ʻe lava ʻo tokoniʻi ai ke ngāue lelei.”8

Founga 2: Fakaʻaongaʻi ho Ngaahi ʻAhó ke “Femoʻuekina ʻi ha Ngāue Lelei” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 58:27)

Ko hono maʻu ko ia ha koloa te ke nofo matātahi ai ʻo taʻengatá, he ʻikai lelei ia ki hoʻo fiefiá—neongo kapau ko e meʻa ia ʻoku talaatu ʻe he fakakaukau ʻa e māmaní. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau femoʻuekina ʻi he ngāue ʻaongá kae lava ke tau fiefia.

“Naʻe tonu hono tohi ia ʻe Felengikilini D. Lusivetí ʻo pehē: ‘ʻOku ʻikai maʻu e fiefiá ʻi hono maʻu pē ʻo e paʻangá; ʻoku maʻu ia ʻi he fiefia he lavameʻá, mo e ngāue mohu foungá.’”9

‘Oku ʻomi ʻe he ngāue ʻaongá ha fiemālie he ʻikai ke tau lava ʻo maʻu ʻi ha toe founga kehe.

Naʻe akoʻi ‘e ʻEletā ʻŪlise Soālesi ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá “ʻoku faʻa kau ʻi hono maʻu ʻo e fiefiá, ha feinga taʻetūkua ki ha meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga ange ʻi he moʻuí.”10 ʻE lava ke ope atu e ngāue ʻaongá ʻi ha faʻahinga ngāue pe ngāue maʻuʻanga moʻui. ‘Oku kau ai hono ohi hake e fānaú, ngāue ʻi he Siasí, pe ko e foaki loto-fiemālie ho taimí mo e ngaahi talēnití.

Founga 9: Sio ki he Niʻihi Kehé

ʻE ngali mahino ange ʻa e ngaahi founga ʻe valu kimuʻá ʻi he founga fakaʻosi ko ʻení, ka ʻoku faʻa maʻu e fiefiá ʻi he taimi ʻoku ʻikai ke ke tokanga fakahangatonu ai ki aí.

Kuo akoʻi ‘e ʻEleta Hōlani ʻo pehē: “ʻOku ʻikai faingofua ke te lele hangatonu atu pe ʻo maʻu ʻa e fiefiá. ʻOku faʻa matuʻaki maʻu ngataʻa, tolonga taimi siʻi pē, mo pulipulia. Kapau kuo teʻeki ai ke mou ʻiloʻi ʻeni, te ke ako ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ka hoko maí ko e taimi lahi ʻoku hoko mai ʻa e fiefiá ʻi ha taimi taʻeʻamanekina, ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau femoʻuekina ai ʻi hano fai ʻo ha meʻa kehe. ʻOku meimei ke hoko maʻu pē ʻa e fiefiá ko ha ola ʻo haʻate feinga kehe.”21

Ko hono moʻoní, fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻe malavá ke tanumaki ai ha ngaahi founga mo e tōʻonga ki he fiefiá. Neongo hili hono fai e meʻa kotoa te tau lavá, ka ʻoku taimi ke vakai ki he kakai kehé pea tuku ke maʻu kitautolu ʻe he fiefiá ʻi heʻetau feinga ke tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé.

Fiefiá mo e Puke Fakaʻatamaí

‘I he taimi ʻoku hoko ai e ngaahi meʻa fakaʻatamai hangē ko e kulukiatamakí mo e loto-hohaʻá, ʻoku hoko e fiefiá ko ha taumuʻa faingataʻa ange. Ko e ngaahi tete ko ia ʻi he tuʻuapoó naʻá ku lave ki ai kimuʻá, ko ha fakaʻilonga ia ʻo e loto-hohaʻa naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻeku fale mohé.

ʻI heʻeku moʻuí, kuó u aʻu ki he ngaahi potu fakapoʻuli mo taʻepau, ʻa ia ko e kulukiatamakí ia, ʻoku ʻikai ke u toe lava “fili ke ongoʻi fiefia” ʻo hangē koe ʻikai keu lava ke fili hoku maʻolungá pe lanu hoku kanoʻimatá.

Ka neongo ia, ko e meʻa te u lava maʻu pē ʻo filí ke fakafepakiʻi e fakapoʻulí. Te u lava ʻo kole tokoni ki he ʻOtuá. Te u lava ‘o fakaʻaongaʻi e ngaahi meʻangāue kotoa, mei he tuí mo e lotú ʻo aʻu ki he faitoʻo fakaonopōní.

ʻOku kau maʻu pē kiate au ʻa e lava lelei e mavahe mei he ngaahi taimi loto-tāngiá ʻi he fakalau atu ʻa e ngaahi taʻú, ha founga kehekehe. Kuo pau ke vakai ki heʻeku moʻui lelei fakaesinó (fakamālohisinó, maʻu meʻatokoní, mohé), ko ʻeku moʻui leleí (faitoʻó, vaitaminí, faleʻi mei he kau toketaá), ko ʻeku moʻui lelei fakaelotó (faleʻí, fetuʻutaki mo e niʻihi kehé), mo ʻeku moʻui lelei fakalaumālié (lotú, ako folofolá, ngāue ʻi he Siasí, taimi ʻi he temipalé) ʻi ha ngaahi founga napangapangamālie.

Neongo ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻunga fakamamahi kuó u aʻusia ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi mei he loto-mafasiá, ka kuo tāpuekina au ke u aʻusia ʻa e fiefiá mo e leleí ʻi he konga lahi taha ʻo e fāmilí! ʻOku ongo moʻoni kiate au ʻa kimoutolu ʻoku uesia lahi ange ʻe he puke fakaʻatamaí, kae naʻa mo kimoutolu, ʻoku ou tui ʻoku ʻi ai ha Pilinisi ʻo e Melinó.

‘Oku fakahā ʻe he kulukiatamakí ʻoku ʻi ai ha kakai toko lahi ʻoku nau fie maʻu. ‘Oku fakamahinoʻi ai he ʻikai teitei fakaleleiʻi e ngaahi meʻá. Ko e faitoʻo ʻe taha ki he loí ni—kiate au—ʻoku maʻu ia ʻi he himi kou manako aí koe “Be Still, My Soul.”

[Nonga, ʻe hoku loto: ʻOku ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá]

[Ke taki ʻa e kahaʻú hangē ko e kuo hilí].

[ʻOua naʻa uesia hoʻo ʻamanakí, falalá, ʻe ha meʻa];

[ʻE māmangia ʻa e meʻa lilo kotoa he taimí ni].22

Ko ha ngaahi moʻoni fakaʻofoʻofa nai ia, ʻikai ko ia? ‘I heʻeku vakai ki heʻeku moʻuí, ʻoku ʻikai haʻaku veiveiua kuo tāpuekina, fakamālohia, mo tataki ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻeku fonongá. Ko ia ai, ʻoku ou ʻilo te Ne ʻi ai ke tokangaʻi au ʻi he kahaʻú, ʻo hangē pe ko ʻeku ʻiloʻi ʻe tataki koe ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi ho hala ki ha ngaahi ʻaho fakafiefia angé.

ʻE kakato hoʻo fiefiá ʻi ha ʻaho, ʻo fakafou ʻiate Ia.
