Ngāue Fakaetauhi ʻi he ʻIlo Lahi Ange
ʻOku ʻikai fiemaʻu ia ke ke maʻu kotoa e ngaahi talí, ka ʻe tokoni ʻetau ʻiloʻi lelei ange Iá ke tau ngāue fakaetauhi ʻo hangē ko ia ne fai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí.
Naʻe Fakahaaʻi Mai ʻe Sīsū ha Sīpinga ʻo e Akó
ʻI he tupu ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, naʻá Ne “mālohi ʻi he laumālié, pea fonu ia ʻi he potó: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá” (Luke 2:40). ʻOku ʻuhinga e foʻi lea ko e tupú ke tupulaki māmālie, ʻo hangē ko e tupulaki ʻa e māhiná ke kakato ange ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e māhiná. ʻOku tau ʻiloʻi naʻe “tupulaki ʻa e potó ʻia Sīsū mo e lahí, pea naʻe ʻofeina ia ʻe he ʻOtuá mo e tangatá” (Luke 2:52). Naʻe ʻikai fakafokifā pē kuo maʻu ʻe Sīsū ha ʻilo kakato—ka naʻá Ne maʻu ia ʻi ha taimi lahi (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 93:12–14).
ʻI he taʻu 12 ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe ʻilo Ia ʻe Heʻene ongomātuʻá ʻi he temipalé—ko e feituʻu tefito ia ʻo e moihū ʻi Selusalemá—“ʻoku nofo ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e kau akonakí pea naʻa nau fanongo kiate ia mo fai ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi kiate ia” (Liliu Siosefa Sāmita, Luke 2:46). Koeʻuhí naʻe hoko ʻa e akó ko ha konga mahuʻinga ʻo ʻEne tupulakí, pea ʻi he taimi naʻe maʻu ai ʻa e faingamālie ke akoʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻi he temipalé, naʻá Ne ʻosi mateuteu. Naʻe fakaofo e ola ʻo ʻEne faiako ʻi aí kiate kinautolu pea mo ʻene ongomātuʻá.
