ʻOkú Ke ʻi Fē ʻi he Siakale ʻo e Loto-hīkisiá?
Ke mavahe mei he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá, kuo pau ke tau ʻiloʻi ko e tāpuaki kotoa pē ʻoku tau maʻú ʻoku haʻu ia mei he Tamai Hēvaní.
ʻOku ʻi ai ha sīpinga tōʻonga ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻoku faʻa ui ko e “siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá.” ʻI heʻene toutou ʻasí, ʻoku hangē ʻoku tau ongoʻi ʻoku feinga ʻa e ʻEikí mo ʻEne kau palōfitá ke akoʻi mai ha meʻa mahuʻinga—mahalo ʻoku fakataumuʻa hono fakakau ia ʻi he lekōtí ke hoko ko ha fakatokanga mei he ʻEikí kiate kitautolu takitaha ʻi hotau kuongá.
12:00—ko e Tumutumu ʻo e Loto-hīkisiá
Tau fakaʻaongaʻi e uasí ko ha fakatātā, tau pehē pē ʻoku kamata ʻa e siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá ʻi he hongofulu mā uá—ko e tumutumu ʻo e loto-hīkisiá. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau ʻi he hongofulu mā uá ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá, ʻoku tau hangē ko e kau Nīfai ʻi he kuonga muʻá, ʻoku tau ongoʻi lavameʻa, ʻatamai poto, mo manakoa pea kamata ke tau ongoʻi fielahi. ʻOku tau fiefia ai ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakahīkihikiʻi ai kitautolu ʻe he niʻihi kehé ʻi heʻetau ngaahi lavameʻá, pea ʻoku tau ʻita ʻi he taimi ʻoku maʻu ai ʻe he niʻihi ʻoku tau feohí ha fakahīkihiki ʻi heʻenau ngaahi lavameʻá.
ʻI he hoko ʻa e hongofulu mā uá, ʻoku ʻikai ke tau faʻa fakafanongo ki he faleʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Ko e meʻa fakamamahí, ʻoku tau faʻa iku ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fiemaʻu ʻa e ʻOtuá pe ko ʻEne kau tamaioʻeikí. ʻOku tau ʻita ʻi heʻenau faleʻí. ʻOku tau sai pē kitautolu ʻiate kitautolu pē. ʻOku ngalo ʻiate kitautolu pe ʻoku tau fakasītuʻaʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ʻe he Tuʻi ko Penisimaní: ʻa ia ʻoku pehē ʻoku tau “moʻua taʻengata ki [heʻetau] Tamai fakalangí, ke ʻoatu kiate ia ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku [tau] maʻú pea mo [kitautolu]” (Mōsaia 2:34).
Kuo fakatokanga mai hotau kau palōfita ʻi onopōní fekauʻaki mo e loto-hīkisia taʻemāʻoniʻoní. Naʻe ui ia ʻe Palesiteni ʻEselā Tafu Penisoni (1899–1994) “ko e angahala fakaemāmani lahí” pea mo e “fakatūkiaʻanga maʻongoʻonga ki Saioné.” Naʻe fakafehoanaki ʻe ʻEletā Tieta F. ʻUkitofa ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻa e loto-hīkisiá ki ha “Lameiumitomi fakataautaha, ko ha tuʻunga toputapu ʻokú ne fakatonuhiaʻi e meheká, mānumanú, mo e laukaú.” ʻOku fakamavaheʻi kitautolu ʻe he loto-hīkisiá mei he ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ne teke kitautolu ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá ki he hoko ʻa e uá, ʻa ia ʻoku tau fakaʻitaʻi ai ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.
2:00—Ko e Falala ki he Nima ʻo e Kakanó
Mahalo te tau fakakaukau ʻi he kamataʻangá ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻinga hono fakaʻitaʻi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ia ʻe Nīfai ko e “kākaaʻi fakaoloolo … ke [tau] fiemālie fakakakano. … [ʻOku tau pehē] ʻoku lelei ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi Saione; ʻio, ʻoku tuʻumālie ʻa Saione, ʻoku lelei ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē” (2 Nīfai 28:21). Ko e meʻa mālié, ʻi he hoko ʻa e uá ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá, kapau ʻoku tau faitotonu kiate kitautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fuʻu fiefia pehē. ʻOku tau maʻu ʻa e ongoʻi taʻefiemālie hangē ʻoku tau mōlia atú. ʻOku tau feinga ke fakafepakiʻi ʻa e tāʻau taʻefakafiemālie ʻo e siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá. ʻOku tau pīkitai ki he ngaahi manatu melie ʻo e ngaahi lavameʻa he kuohilí mo vilitaki ke tuku ʻetau falalá ki he nima ʻo e kakanó. Ko ha fehalaaki lahi moʻoni ʻeni.
Naʻe akonaki ʻa Sīsū, “Ko au ko e vainé, ko e ngaahi vaʻá ʻa kimoutolu: ko ia ʻoku nofo ʻiate aú, mo au ʻiate iá, ko ia ia ʻe fua lahí: ka māvae mo au, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa fai ha meʻa” (Sione 15:5). ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau fakamamahiʻi ai ʻa e Laumālié, ʻoku tau tuʻusi ai kitautolu mei he tupuʻanga ʻo e meʻakai fakalaumālie kotoa pē, pea ʻe faifai pē pea ʻe kamata ke tau tuenoa. Ka ne taʻeʻoua e tokoni ʻa e ʻEikí mo e ivi tākiekina ʻo e Laumālié, ʻe fusi hifo kitautolu ʻe he mālohi ʻo e siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá ki he tōnounou he hoko ʻa e faá.
4:00—Fehalaaki Fakavalevalé
Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Siosefa Sāmita, “Neongo ʻe maʻu ʻe ha tangata ha … mālohi ke fai ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu ngāue lalahi lahi, ka ʻo kapau te ne pōlepole ʻi hono ivi ʻoʻoná, ʻo siʻaki ʻa e ngaahi akonaki ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻo muimui ki he ngaahi fakakaukau ʻa hono loto ʻoʻoná mo e ngaahi holi fakakakanó, kuo pau ke ne tō” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 3:4).
Te tau lava ʻo fili ki he ʻulungaanga te tau faí, ka he ʻikai ke tau lava ʻo fili ʻa e ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo hotau ʻulungāngá. ʻI he hoko ʻa e faá ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá, ʻoku tau aʻusia ʻa e ngaahi nunuʻa fakamamahi ʻo ʻetau loto-hīkisia fakavalevalé. ʻE ala mole meiate kitautolu ʻa e ngāué. ʻE ala mole meiate kitautolu ʻa e kaumeʻa fefiné pe ko e kaumeʻa tangatá. ʻE ala mole meiate kitautolu ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa kinautolu ʻoku mahuʻinga taha kiate kitautolú. Kae ʻamo angé, ʻe ala mole meiate kitautolu ʻetau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi pē kitautolú. Pea ʻoku tau fehangahangai leva mo ʻetau ngaahi taʻetāú. Hangē ko Mōsesé, ʻoku tau fakatokangaʻi ta ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fuʻu mahuʻinga, “ʻa ia ko e meʻa naʻe teʻeki ai te [tau] fakakaukau ki aí” (Mōsese 1:10).
6:00—Loto-fakatōkilalo, Angamalū, Angavaivai
ʻOku ʻikai ko ha fakakaukau fakafiefia ʻa e tōnounoú mo e faingataʻá ki ha taha ʻo kitautolu, ka ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku tau faʻa ʻilo ko ha ngaahi tāpuaki maʻongoʻonga ia he ʻoku nau faʻa teke kitautolu ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá ki he loto-fakatōkilaló ʻi he hoko ʻa e onó. Kuo ʻikai ke tau toe feinga ke hā ngali lelei ki he niʻihi ʻoku tau feohí. ʻOku kamata ke mahino mo maama ange ʻetau vakai ki ha ngaahi meʻa. ʻOku tau tali fiemālie ange ʻa e fakaangá pea lava ke tau ako mei heʻetau ngaahi fehalaākí mo e vaivaí. Hangē ko e vakai ʻa ha tokotaha faʻu tohi Kalisitiane, ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻuhingá ʻoku tau fakasiʻia kitautolu, ka ko hono ʻuhingá, ʻoku siʻisiʻi ʻetau faʻa fakakaukau kiate kitautolú.
ʻI he hoko ʻa e onó ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá, ʻoku tau hoko ai ʻo loto-fakatōkilalo moʻoni mo angamalū. Ko e loto-fakatōkilaló mo e angamaluú ko e ongo tefitoʻi moʻoni mahuʻinga ia ʻo e ongoongoleleí. ʻOku tau faʻa lea ʻo kau ki he tuí, ʻamanaki leleí, mo e ʻofa faka-Kalaisí. Ka naʻe fokotuʻu mai ʻe he palōfita ko Molomoná ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ʻulungaanga hono fā ʻoku malava ai ʻa e toenga ʻo e ngaahi meʻá ni ʻe tolú:
“ʻOku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu ʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻa e tuí mo e ʻamanakí, kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ne angamalū mo loto-fakatōkilalo.
“Ka pehē, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻene tuí mo e ʻamanaki leleí, he ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku hōifua ki ai ʻa e ʻOtuá, ka ko e angamaluú mo e loto-fakatōkilaló; pea kapau ʻoku angamalū mo loto-fakatōkilalo ha tangata, ʻo ne fakamoʻoniʻi ʻi he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí, kuo pau ke ne maʻu ʻa e manavaʻofá” (Molonai 7:43–44).
Ko ha ʻulungaanga fakafolofola ʻe taha ʻoku faʻa fekauʻaki mo e loto-fakatōkilalo he hoko ʻa e onó, ko e angavaivaí. Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he Tuʻi ko Penisimaní “ko e tangata fakakakanó ko e fili ia ki he ʻOtuá … pea ʻe pehē ai pē, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata, kae ʻoua kuó ne … hoko ʻo anga tatau mo ha tamasiʻi siʻi, angavaivai, angamalū, loto-fakatōkilalo, faʻa kātaki, fonu ʻi he ʻofa, pea loto-fiemālie ke fakavaivai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻoku lelei ke ne faí, ʻo hangē ʻoku fakavaivai ʻe ha tamasiʻi siʻi ki heʻene tamaí” (Mōsaia 3:19).
Kuo taku ʻo pehē ko e angamaluú ʻoku ʻikai ko hano ʻiloʻi ia ʻo hotau vaivaí ka ko hano ʻiloʻi ia ʻo e maʻuʻanga moʻoni ʻo hotau mālohí. ʻOku ʻikai ʻuhinga ʻa e angamaluú ki he vaivai. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau loto-fakatōkilalo mo angamalū aí, ʻoku ʻikai ke tau hiki hake kitautolu; ʻoku tau hiki hake ʻa e ʻOtuá.
ʻI he hoko ʻa e onó ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá, ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau loto-fakatōkilalo mo angamalū moʻoni aí, ʻoku tau tafoki ai ki he ʻOtuá he ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻi ai ha toe feituʻu ke tafoki ki ai. ʻOku mafesifesi hotau lotó he taimí ni pea fakatomala hotau laumālié.

8:00—Ngaahi Tāpuaki ʻo e Laumālié Māʻoniʻoní
ʻI heʻetau fakavaivaiʻi hotau loto-mafesifesí ki he ʻOtuá pea koeʻuhí ʻoku tau loto-fakatōkilalo, ʻoku kamata ke “tataki nima [kitautolu] ʻe he ʻEiki ko [hotau] ʻOtuá, pea foaki kiate [kitautolu] ʻa e tali ki [heʻetau] ngaahi lotú” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 112:10). ʻI Heʻene fakahinohinó, ʻoku tau hokohoko atu ai pē ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá ki he valú, ʻi heʻetau toe fakaafeʻi mai e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ki heʻetau moʻuí.
ʻOku liliu hotau lotó ʻe he ivi tākiekina ʻo e Laumālié. Hangē ko e kakai ʻo e Tuʻi ko Penisimaní, “[ʻoku] ʻikai … te mau toe maʻu ha holi ke faikovi, ka ke failelei maʻu ai pē” (Mōsaia 5:2). ʻOku tau kamata ke tauhi e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku kamata ke Ne lilingi hifo ʻEne ngaahi tāpuakí kiate kitautolu—ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki kuó Ne finangalo maʻu pē ke foaki maʻatautolú, he ko Hono natulá ia, ka naʻe ʻikai ke tau tali ke maʻu koeʻuhí ko ʻetau hīkisia fakavalevalé. ʻOku kamata ke tau maʻu ha ngaahi tāpuaki koeʻuhí ʻoku tau talangofua he taimí ni ki he ngaahi fono ʻa ia ʻoku nau fekauʻaki mo iá (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 130:20–21). ʻOku tau totongi ʻetau vahehongofulú, pea ʻoku fakaava ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi matapā ʻo e langí pea lilingi hifo ha ngaahi tāpuaki lahi he ʻikai ke tau lava ʻo maʻu kotoa ai kinautolu (vakai, Malakai 3:10).
10:00—Tāpuekina ʻaki ʻa e Fiefia
ʻOku hanga ʻe heʻetau talangofua loto-fakatōkilalo ki he ngaahi fekaú ʻo ʻai ke mālohi ʻetau fakalakalaka ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá ki he hoko ʻa e hongofulú, ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau ʻi ha tuʻunga kuo tāpuekina ʻaki ʻa e fiefiá. ʻOku tau aʻusia ha lavameʻa. ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke tau ofi ai; ko ha talaʻofa fakafolofola: “ʻOku ou loto ke mou fakakaukau ki he tuʻunga monūʻia mo fakafiefia ʻo kinautolu ʻoku tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá. He vakai, ʻoku nau monūʻia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻa e meʻa fakamāmaní mo e fakalaumālié fakatouʻosi” (Mōsaia 2:41).
Ko e hoko ʻa e hongofulú ʻi he siakale ʻo e loto-hīkisiá ko ha feituʻu lelei mo fakaʻofoʻofa ke ʻi ai, ka ko e meʻapangó, he ko ha feituʻu fakatuʻutāmaki foki ia ke ʻi ai. ʻOku kamata ke fakahīkihikiʻi kitautolu ʻe hotau kaungā-ngāué ʻi heʻetau ngaahi lavameʻa kotoa pē. Meʻapangó, ʻoku kamata ke tau tui kiate kinautolu.
Kapau he ʻikai ke tau tokanga, ʻe lava ʻe he fakafihiʻi ʻe he ngaahi fakahīkihikí ʻa ʻetau fakamaauʻi totonu ha meʻa peá ne fakatupu ʻiate kitautolu ha holi taʻe faka-ʻOtuá ki ha fakahīkihiki mo ha lāngilangi lahi ange.

“Pea ko ia ʻoku tau lava ʻo vakai ki he kākā, mo e taʻe-angatonu ʻa e loto ʻo e fānau ʻa e tangatá; ʻio, ʻoku tau vakai ai ki he ʻEikí ʻi heʻene fuʻu angalelei taʻe-fakangatangatá ʻokú ne tāpuakiʻi mo ngaohi ke tuʻumālie ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau falala kiate iá.
