Lēsoni ʻe 2 mei he Ngaahi Foʻi Maama Kilisimasi Pikopikó
ʻOku nofo ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne faʻú ʻi ʻIutā, USA.
ʻOku fonu ʻa e moʻuí ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa fakatuʻupakē, ka ʻe kei lava pē ke maʻu ʻa e tākiekina ʻa Kalaisí ʻo tatau ai pē ko e hā ʻa e tūkunga ʻokú ke ʻi aí.
Ko e meimei taʻu ʻeni ʻe valu talu mei heʻeku tau ha ngaahi maama Kilisimasi ʻi he ʻapi ʻo ʻeku ongomātuʻá. Koeʻuhí ko ha ngaahi tūkunga kehekehe, naʻe ʻikai ke lava ai hoku fāmilí ʻo nofo fakataha ʻi ha taimi fuoloa. Naʻe ʻikai ke u saiʻia ʻi hono teuteuʻi hoku falé, koeʻuhí he naʻe ʻikai ke u saiʻia ke feohi mo hoku fāmilí. Ka neongo ia, naʻe ʻikai ke u lava ʻo fufuuʻi ʻeku ongó: ko ia naʻá ku fakaʻamu ai ke tau ha ngaahi maama Kilisimasi.
Naʻá ku fakalotoʻi hoku tuongaʻané ke tokoni mai ki hono tautau kinautolú. ʻI he vahaʻa ʻo e ngāué, akó, mo e ngaahi fatongia kehekehé, naʻa mau fakaʻaongaʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho lahi ke fakaʻosi hono tautau ʻo e ngaahi māmá. ʻI he ʻosi ʻemau ngāué, naʻe ʻi ai ha ongo lēsoni matuʻaki mahuʻinga maʻaku.
Ko e ʻuluakí, ʻoku ʻikai ke faingofua ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē. Naʻe kamata ke mau tautau ʻa e ngaahi foʻi māmá ʻi ha ngaahi ʻotu ʻoku maau, ka ʻi heʻemau aʻu ki he konga ki mui ʻo e falé, naʻa mau fakatokangaʻi ʻoku lahi ange ʻa e ngaahi foʻi maama ʻoku mau maʻú ʻi he meʻa naʻe fiemaʻú. Naʻá ma fakakaukau ke fakatāupe hifo pē ʻa e toengá ʻi he konga ki lalo ʻo e falé, pea lahi ange ʻene pikopikó ʻi he toenga ʻo e ngaahi foʻi māmá. Ko e taimi ia naʻá ku fakatokangaʻi ai ʻoku hangē pē ʻeku moʻuí ko e ngaahi foʻi maama ko ʻení. ʻOku ou feinga ke u ʻalu hangatonu, ke ʻoua ʻe hē mei he hala ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. Ka ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ʻoku ou fai ha ngaahi fehalaaki pea ʻikai ke u ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ke faí. Kuo folofola ʻa e ʻEikí: “Ko ia ia kuó ne fakatomala mei heʻene ngaahi angahalá, ʻoku fakamolemoleʻi ia, pea ko au ko e ʻEikí, ʻoku ʻikai te u toe manatu ki ai” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá 58:42). Neongo naʻe fehilihiliʻi e ngaahi foʻi maama Kilisimasí, ka naʻe hokohoko atu pē ʻenau fakahoko ʻenau taumuʻá: ke fakamaama mo ulo ngingila ʻi hoku falé. Pea hangē pē ko e ngaahi foʻi māmá, ʻoku ʻikai ke u haohaoa. Kuó u fai ha ngaahi fehalaaki ka ʻoku ou kei lava pē ʻo maʻu ʻa e māmá pea muimui ki he palani ʻa e ʻOtuá maʻakú, pea fakamālō ai ki he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.
Ko e meʻa hono ua naʻá ku akó, ʻoku ʻi ai maʻu pē ʻa e Maama ʻo Kalaisí. ʻI ʻolunga, ʻi lalo, ki he toʻomataʻú, ki he toʻohemá—ʻoku ʻi ai, mo mateuteu ke tataki mo fakatonutonu kitautolu. ʻOku tau lau ʻi he Molonai 7:19, ʻoku totonu ke tau fekumi faivelenga ki he Maama ʻo Kalaisí kae lava ke tau fakafaikehekeheʻi ʻa e leleí mei he koví. ʻOku ou ongoʻi ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní naʻe lea ki hoku lotó koeʻuhí ke u lava ʻo tautau ʻa e ngaahi maama ko iá mo manatuʻi ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻo ui au mo fakahinohinoʻi au. ʻOku ulo ngingila e Maama ʻo Kalaisí ʻi he taʻú kakato, kae ʻikai ʻi ha ngaahi taimi makehe pē hangē ko e Kilisimasí.
Mahalo ʻoku ʻikai ko e lelei taha ʻi homau feituʻú ʻa e maama ʻi hoku ʻapí, ka ʻokú ne fakamanatu mai ʻoku ʻomi ʻe heʻeku ngaahi feinga ke muimui ki he Fakamoʻuí ha ngaahi tāpuaki ki heʻeku moʻuí.
