Ngaahi Fehuʻi ʻa ʻAlamā ki he Vakaiʻi Fakatāutahá

ʻE lava ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi momeniti ʻo e vakaiʻi fakatāutahá ke tau ʻiloʻi lelei ange ʻa e mālohi ʻo hotau vā fetuʻutaki mo Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻI hono ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻAlamā ʻa e founga naʻe hoko ai ʻa e hīkisiá mo e fakakikihí ko ha konga ʻo e Siasí, naʻá ne fai leva ha ngaahi fehuʻi ki he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ʻi Seilahemalá ʻa ia naʻá ne poupouʻi ai kinautolu ke nau fakakaukau ki he meʻa ʻoku fakatefito ai ʻenau tokangá pea mo honau tuʻunga ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku fakataumuʻa ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke vakaiʻi hoʻo fakalakalaka fakalaumālié mo fakamālohia hoʻo ului kia Sīsū Kalaisí.

Vakaiʻi fakatāutahá

Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi faingamālie kuó ke maʻu ke ʻinitaviu ai koe ʻe ha taha kehe, kau ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻinitaviu lekomeni temipalé, ʻinitaviu fakataʻu mo hoʻo pīsopé pe palesiteni fakakoló mo e ngaahi ʻinitaviu ngāué.

• Ko e hā e taumuʻa ʻo e ngaahi ʻinitaviú?

• ʻE founga fēfē haʻo ʻinitaviu pē ʻau koe?

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe Palesiteni M. Lāsolo Pālati ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi lelei ʻo hono tuku maʻu pē ha taimi ke vakaiʻi ai ʻetau fakalakalaka fakalaumālié. Mahalo te mou fie mamata ʻi he foʻi vitiō “Foki ʻo Maʻú,” ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ChurchofJesusChrist.org, mei he taimi 08:14 ki he 08:58, pe lau ʻa e fakamatala ʻi laló.

ʻOku ou ʻilo ko e nofotaha e tokangá ‘i he foki [ki he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá] ʻo maʻu e ngaahi tāpuaki kuo talaʻofá, ‘e fiemaʻu ke u toutou ʻeke kiate au, “ʻOku fēfē ʻeku ngāué?”

ʻOku hangē ia haʻo ʻinitaviu fakataautaha pē koé. Pea kapau ʻoku ngali kehe, fakakaukau ki ai: ko hai ʻi he māmaní ʻoku toe ʻilo lelei ange kiate koe? ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi hoʻo fakakaukaú; hoʻo tōʻonga fakapulipulí, hoʻo holí mo e fakaʻamú, taumuʻá mo e palaní. Pea ʻokú ke ʻilo lelei ange ʻi ha toe taha ʻa e tuʻunga fakalakalaka ʻokú ke ʻi aí. (M. Russell Ballard, “Foki ʻo Maʻu,” Liahona, Mē 2017, 64)

Fakakaukau ki he tuʻo lahi hoʻo tuku ha taimi ke vakaiʻi ai hoʻo fakalakalaka fakalaumālié.

• Ko e hā ha faʻahinga lelei ʻe lava ke maʻu mei hono fakahoko maʻu pē ʻení?

Ko ha taukei te ke lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ʻi hono ako hoʻo folofolá ko e tuku ha taimi ke kiʻi mālōlō ai peá ke vakaiʻi ʻa e tuʻunga lelei hoʻo moʻui ʻaki e ngaahi akonaki pe tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻokú ke akó. Te ke maʻu he ʻahó ni ha faingamālie ke ʻahiʻahi fakahoko ai ʻa e taukei ko iá ʻi hoʻo ako ʻa e ʻAlamā 5. ʻOku ʻi he vahe ko ʻení ha ngaahi fehuʻi lahi naʻe fai ʻe ʻAlamā ki hono kakaí. Te ke lava foki ʻo ʻeke kiate koe ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení ke ke vakaiʻi ʻaki hoʻo fakalakalaka fakalaumālié. ʻI hoʻo akó, fekumi ki ha fakahinohino mei he Tamai Hēvaní ke tokoni atu ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke fakahoko leleí mo e founga ʻokú Ne finangalo ke ke fakalakalaka aí.

Ko e malanga ʻa ʻAlamā ki he kakai ʻo Seilahemalá

Manatuʻi ʻi he hili e vakai ʻa ʻAlamā ki he hīkisia mo e manumanu ʻi hono kakaí, naʻá ne hifo mei heʻene hoko ko e fakamaau lahi ki he kakai Nīfaí ke fakatapui kakato ange ʻene moʻuí ki hono akoʻi e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá (vakai, ʻAlamā 4:19).

Naʻe kamata e malanga ʻa ʻAlamaá ʻi he fonua ko Seilahemalá. Naʻá ne fakamanatu ki he kakai ko ʻení ʻa e nofo pōpula fakalaumālie mo fakatuʻasino naʻe aʻusia ʻe he kau Nīfaí lolotonga e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e Tuʻi ko Noá (vakai, ʻAlamā 5:3–5).

Lau ʻa e ʻAlamā 5:6–13, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe ʻAlamā ke manatuʻi ʻe hono kakaí fekauʻaki mo e toʻu tangata kimuʻa ʻo e kakai Nīfaí.

• ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā naʻe fiemaʻu ai ʻe ʻAlamā ke manatuʻi ʻe hono kakaí ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni?

• Ko e hā naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe ʻAlamā ke ʻilo ʻe hono kakaí fekauʻaki mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he veesi 7?

Lau ʻa e ʻAlamā 5:14, 26, ʻo kumi e ngaahi fehuʻi naʻe fai ʻe ʻAlamā ki hono kakaí hili ʻene fakamanatu kiate kinautolu honau tukufakaholo fakalaumālié.

• ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe ʻAlamā ke mahino ki hono kakaí ʻi heʻene ʻeke ange ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení?

• ʻOkú ke pehē ʻe liliu fēfē hoʻo moʻuí ʻi hoʻo ʻeke kiate koe ha ngaahi fehuʻi hangē ko ia ʻoku hā ʻi he veesi 14 mo e 26 ?

Ko hono fakaʻaongaʻi e ngaahi akonaki ʻa ʻAlamaá ke fakahoko ha vakaiʻi fakatāutahá

Tuku ha taimi ke ke ako ai e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻAlamā ki he kakai ʻo Seilahemalá ʻi he ʻAlamā 5:14–30 pea fakakaukau pe naʻá ke ʻosi aʻusia nai pe ʻokú ke lolotonga foua ʻa e liliu naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe ʻAlamaá. ʻI hoʻo akó, fakahoko hoʻo vakaiʻi fakatāutahá ʻaki haʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ha niʻihi pe kotoa ʻo e ngaahi fehuʻi naʻe fai ʻe ʻAlamā ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení. Ko ha niʻihi ʻeni ʻo e ngaahi founga ke fakahoko ai iá.

1. Kiʻi taʻofi ʻo fakakaukauloto ʻi he veesi ʻe ua ki he tolu kotoa pē, ʻo vakaiʻi e founga ʻoku fekauʻaki ai e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻa ʻAlamā ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko iá mo hoʻo moʻuí.

ʻAlamā 5:9, 26. Ko e hā te ne lava ʻo taʻofi kitautolu mei hono pukepuke ha liliu ʻo e lotó?

Naʻe akonaki ʻa ʻEletā Uilifooti W. ʻEnitaseni ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú ʻo pehē:

ʻI heʻetau maʻu e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní hili e papitaisó, ʻoku fakafonu kitautolu ʻe he fasi fakalangi ʻoku hoko ai e uluí. ʻOku liliu hotau lotó, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke tau toe “maʻu ha holi ke faikovi, ka ke failelei maʻu ai pē” (Mōsaia 5:2). Ka he ʻikai kātakiʻi ʻe he Laumālié ʻa e ʻulungaanga taʻeʻofá pe loto-hikisiá pe meheká. Kapau ʻe mole mei heʻetau moʻuí e tākiekina pelepelengesi ko iá, ʻe lava ke mole vave ʻa e moʻoni fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo e ongoongoleleí ʻo aʻu ki haʻane longo ʻaupito. Naʻe fai ʻe ʻAlamā ha fehuʻi mahuʻinga: “Pea kapau kuo mou fie hiva ʻaki ʻa e hiva ko ʻeni ʻo ʻene ʻofa huhuʻí, ʻoku ou fie fehuʻi atu, pe ʻoku mou lava ʻo ongoʻi pehē he taimí ni?” (ʻAlamā 5:26).

ʻAlamā 5:14. ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ke fanauʻi ʻi he ʻOtuá?

Naʻe fakamatala ʻa ʻEletā Tēvita A. Petinā ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē:

ʻOku toutou akoʻi mai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa e ʻEikí kuo fakamafaiʻí ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi tefitoʻi taumuʻa ʻo ʻetau moʻui fakamatelié ke liliu fakalaumālie pea liliu ʻo fakafou ʻi he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. …

ʻOku fakahinohino kitautolu ke tau “haʻu kia Kalaisi, pea hoko ʻo haohaoa ʻiate ia, pea fakafisi ʻa [kitautolu] mei he anga taʻe-māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē” (Molonai 10:32), ke hoko ko e “fakatupu foʻou” ia ʻia Kalaisi (vakai 2 Kolinitō 5:17), ke fakafisi mei he “tangata fakakakanó” (Mōsaia 3:19), pea ke aʻusia ha “liliu lahi ʻi loto ʻiate [kitautolu], pe ʻi [hotau] lotó, ʻo ʻikai te [tau] toe maʻu ha holi ke faikovi, ka ke failelei maʻu ai pē” (Mōsaia 5:2). Kātaki ʻo fakatokangaʻi ko e ului naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení ‘oku mālohi, ‘o ‘ikai vaivai—ko ha fanauʻi foʻou fakalaumālie mo ha liliu mahuʻinga ʻi he meʻa ʻoku tau ongoʻi mo fiemaʻú, ʻi heʻetau fakakaukaú mo ia ʻoku tau faí, pea mo kitautolu. ʻOku fakahoko moʻoni ʻe he ʻelito ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ha liliu mahuʻinga mo fakaʻaufuli ʻi hotau angá pea ʻoku malava ia tuʻunga ʻi heʻetau falala ki he “ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoni, mo e ʻaloʻofa, mo e manavaʻofa ʻa e Mīsaia Māʻoniʻoní” (2 Nīfai 2:8). ʻI heʻetau fili ke muimui ki he ʻEikí, ʻoku tau fili ai ke liliu—ke fanauʻi foʻou fakalaumālie.
