“Ko Ia ʻOku Tau Vakai”

Fakakaukauloto ʻokú ke fai ha tohi ke tokoni ki ha kakai te nau moʻui ʻi ha taʻu ʻe laungeau ʻi he kahaʻú. Ko e moʻoni naʻe fai ia ʻe he palōfita ko Molomoná. ʻI heʻene fakanounouʻi ʻa e hisitōlia ʻo e kau Nīfaí pea tohitongi ia ʻi he ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá, naʻá ne faʻa fakamahinoʻi ha ngaahi moʻoni mahuʻinga ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea hangē ko e “ko ia ʻoku tau vakaí.” ʻE lava ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi moʻoni naʻá ne fakamahinoʻí ʻi he ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ní. ʻE lava ke tokoni ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni mei he folofolá pea vakavakaiʻi ʻa e founga ʻe lava ke liliu ai ʻe he ngaahi moʻoni ko iá hoʻo moʻuí.

Ko ha fakahinohino ke hao aí

• Kapau naʻe kole atu ke ke faʻu ha fakahinohino ke hao aí ʻa ha ʻapiako maʻá e kau taʻu 12 mo e 13, ko e hā nai ʻa e meʻa te ke fakakau aí?

Lau ʻa e lea ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni fekauʻaki mo ha fakahinohino ki hoʻo moʻuí:

Ko e kau palōfita [ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná] ne tataki ʻe he ʻEikí, naʻa nau mamata mai ki hotau kuongá mo filifili ʻa e tokāteline mo e ngaahi moʻoni ʻe tokoni lahi taha kiate kitautolú. Ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko e tohi fakahinohino ia ke tau hao ai ʻi he ʻaho kimui ní. (Russell M. Nelson, “Tali Lelei ʻa e Kahaʻú ʻi he Tui,” Liahona, Nōvema 2020, 75)

• ʻOku tokoniʻi fēfē nai koe ʻe he tokāteline mo e ngaahi moʻoni ʻokú ke maʻu ʻi he folofolá ke ke hao fakalaumālie aí? Te ke lava nai ʻo fakakaukau ki ha ngaahi sīpinga kimuí ni mai?

ʻI hoʻo ako ʻa e Hilamani 3 mo e Hilamani 6, te ke maʻu ʻa e faingamālie ke ʻahiʻahi feinga ke ʻilo ʻa e tokāteline mo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni mei he folofolá. ʻE lava ke tokoni ʻeni ke ke maʻu ha ako folofola mahuʻingamālie ange pea ʻomi koe mo ho fāmilí ke ofi ange kia Kalaisi.

“Ko Ia ʻOku Tau Vakai …”

ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo e fakakikihi kotoa ʻoku lekooti ʻi he Hilamani 1–6, naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi mōmeniti fakataimi ʻo e melinó. ʻI he Hilamani 3, naʻe papitaiso ha lauiafe ki he Siasí, pea naʻe tupulaki ʻa e Siasí. ʻI he Hilamani 6, hili ʻa e ului ʻa ha kau Leimana tokolahi, naʻe nofo uouangataha ʻa e kau Nīfaí mo e kau Leimaná ʻi he tafoki ʻa e ongo kulupú fakatouʻosi ki he ʻEikí. ʻI he ongo vahe fakatouʻosi ko ʻení, naʻe kiʻi taʻofi ʻe Molomona ʻene fakamatala ki he hisitōlia ʻo e kau Nīfaí ke fakamamafaʻi ha tokāteline mo ha ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni mahuʻinga ʻo e moʻoní. Naʻá ne fakahoko ʻeni ʻaki ʻene fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e konga lea “ko ia ʻoku tau vakai.”

Lau ʻa e Hilamani 3:27–30; 6:34–36 ke vakai ki he ngaahi fakamatala ʻo e moʻoní ʻi he konga lea “ko ia ʻoku tau vakaí”. Fakakaukau ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni ko iá ʻi hoʻo folofolá pea lekooti kinautolu ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó ʻi he lea pē ʻaʻau.

Hokó, fili ha taha ʻo e ngaahi moʻoni naʻá ke maʻú, pea lisi ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki fakalaumālie, ngaahi faingataʻa, pe ngaahi fakafepaki ʻo e tuí ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi koe ʻe he foʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ke ke hao mei ai. Hangē ko ʻení, kapau naʻa ke fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e foʻi moʻoni kapau te tau fili ke loto-fiemālie ke tui ki he folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, te Ne lilingi mai Hono Laumālié kiate kitautolu (vakai, Hilamani 6:36), ʻe lava ke ke lisi ha ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki hangē ko e fiemaʻu ha fakamoʻoni fakasaienisi kimuʻa pea tui ki he folofolá, tui ki he kau mataotao fakamāmaní ʻo lahi ange ʻi he ʻi he tui ki he kau palōfitá, pe falala ki he ʻuhingá ʻo lahi ange ‘i he ngaahi ueʻi fakalaumālié.

Manatuʻi ʻa e lea ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoni mei he kamataʻanga ʻo e lēsoni ko ʻení fekauʻaki mo e hoko ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko hotau fakahinohino ke hao ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní.

1. Fakakakato ʻeni:

   Tohiʻi ʻi ha laʻipepa ʻa e “Founga ke hao aí …” pea fakaʻosi ʻa e fakamatalá ʻaki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki, ngaahi faingataʻa, pe ngaahi fakafepaki naʻá ke lisí. Hangē ko ʻení, kapau naʻá ke fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e foʻi moʻoni naʻá ke ʻiloʻi kimuʻá, te ke lava ʻo tohiʻi ʻa e, “Founga ke hao ai mei ha fakafepaki ʻi ha ueʻi fakalaumālie.” Fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e foʻi moʻoni naʻá ke filí ke faʻu ʻaki ha fakahinohino peesi ʻe taha ʻo e founga ke hao aí. Fakamatalaʻi ʻi ha ngaahi fakatātā pe lea ʻa e founga ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi ai ʻe he foʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ha toʻu tupu ke hao fakalaumālie. Fakakau atu ha fakakaukau ʻe ua pe lahi ange mei he ngaahi fakakaukau ko ʻení ki hoʻo fakahinohino ke hao aí:

Fili Pē: Fie Ako Lahi Ange?

Hilamani 3:27–28. ʻOku ou fefaʻuhi mo ha ngaahi meʻa lahi. ʻOku fakaava mai nai ʻa e matapā ʻo e langí kiate au?

Naʻe akoʻi mai ‘e ‘Eletā J. Tēvini Kōnisi ‘o e Kau Fitungofulύ:

ʻOku … faʻa … fehuʻi ʻe hotau kāingalotú, “Ko ha tokotaha lelei nai au?” pe “Te u aʻu nai ki he puleʻanga fakasilesitialé?” Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai foki ha meʻa ia ko e “lelei feʻunga.” He ʻikai pē ke tau teitei lava ʻe kitautolu ia ʻo “ngāueʻi” pe maʻu ha “totonu” ki hotau fakamoʻuí, ka ʻoku angamaheni ʻaki pē ʻetau fifili pe ʻoku tau fakahoifua nai ki he ʻEikí, he ko ʻene mahino ia kiate au ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí ni. …

… Ko e ʻOtua ʻo e langí, ʻoku ʻikai ko ha fakamaau taʻeʻofa ia ʻoku kumi ha faʻahinga ʻuhinga ke tuli ai kitautolu mei he vaʻingá. Ko ʻetau Tamai ʻofa hoahaoá Ia, pea ko Hono finangaló pē ke toe foki ange ʻEne fānaú kotoa ki ʻapi ʻo nofo mo Ia ko ha fāmili taʻengata. Naʻá Ne foaki moʻoni Hono ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupú, ke ʻoua naʻa tau ʻauha kae maʻu e moʻui taʻengatá! [vakai, Sione 3:16]. Tui muʻa ki ai, peá ke maʻu muʻa ha ʻamanaki lelei mo ha fiemālie ʻi he moʻoni taʻengata ko ʻení. Ko e taumuʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ke tau lava kotoa ia! Ko ʻEne ngāué mo Hono nāunaú ia [vakai, Mōsese 1:39].

… He ʻikai ke tau teitei “lelei feʻunga,” ka ne taʻeʻoua e ngaahi tokoni pea mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí [vakai, 2 Nīfai 2:6–8], ka koeʻuhí ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻetau tauʻatāina ke filí, he ʻikai lava ai ke fakahaofi kitautolu kae ʻoua ke tau feinga. (J. Devn Cornish, “ʻOku ou Lelei Feʻunga Nai? Te u Lava Nai?,” Liahona, Nōvema 2016, 32–33, 34)

Hilamani 6:35–36. ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā naʻe kamata ke mahuʻi atu ʻa e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí?

Naʻe akoʻi ‘e ʻEletā Tēvita A. Petinā ʻo e Kolomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ʻe lava ʻe heʻetau ngaahi filí mo ʻetau ngaahi angafaí ʻo fakatupunga haʻatau mahuʻi mei he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní:

Pea koeʻuhí ko e tāpuaki ʻoku talaʻofa maí [‘o e papitaisό mo e sākalamēnití] ʻe ʻiate kitautolu maʻu ai pē ʻa Hono Laumālié, ʻoku totonu leva ke tau tokanga mo ako mei he ngaahi fili mo e tākiekina ʻoku nau fakamavaheʻi kitautolu mei he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

ʻOku mahino ʻa e tuʻunga ʻulungāngá. Kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻoku tau fakakaukauʻi, mamata ki ai, fanongoa, pe fakahoko ʻa ia te ne fakamavaheʻi kitautolu mei he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ta ʻoku totonu ke ʻoua te tau fakakaukau, sio, fanongo pe fakahoko ʻa e meʻa ko iá. Hangē ko ʻení, kapau ʻe hoko e meʻa naʻe fakataumuʻa ke ne fakafiefiaʻi kitautolú, ke tau mavahe ai mei he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ta ʻoku ʻikai ko e faʻahinga fakafiefia totonu ia moʻotautolú. Koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai lava ke nofo ʻa e Laumālié ʻi ha meʻa ʻoku taʻefeʻunga, taʻe-maau, pea taʻe-taau, ta ʻoku mahino ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻa totonu ia maʻatautolú. Koeʻuhí he ʻoku tau tuli ʻa e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau kau ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻekitivitī ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ʻoku totonu ke tau siʻakí, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngaahi meʻa totonu ia maʻatautolú.
