Ko e ʻAloʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻa e ongo ʻoku maʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate kitautolu ʻi he taimi kuo tau faiangahala aí? Naʻe angatuʻu ha kau Nīfai tokolahi ki he ʻOtuá mo ʻEne ngaahi fekaú, ko ia naʻe fekauʻi atu ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Samuela ko e tangata Leimaná kiate kinautolu mo ha pōpoaki mahino ke nau fakatomala kae lava ke fakamolemoleʻi kinautolu. ʻE lava ke tokoniʻi koe ʻe he lēsoni ko ʻení ke mahino lelei ange ʻa e natula ʻaloʻofa mo faʻa fakamolemole ʻo e ʻEikí.

Mamahi mei he angahalá

Naʻe fakahoko ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻa e talanoa ko ʻení fekauʻaki mo ha fefine naʻe ʻi ha ngaahi tūkunga faingataʻa. Fakakaukau ki he meʻa te ke fiemaʻu ke ne ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí. Mamata ʻi he “Repentance and Conversion,” ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ChurchofJesusChrist.org, mei he taimi 0:00 ki he 0:50, pe lau ʻa e fakamatala ko ʻení.

Lolotonga haʻaku fononga meʻalele ʻi he taʻu kuo ʻosí mo ʻEletā Tēvita S. Pekisitā ki ha konifelenisi fakasiteiki, ne ma afe ʻi ha falekai. ʻI heʻema foki kimui ange ki heʻema kaá, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai ha fefine ʻa ia naʻe ui mai kiate kimaua. Naʻá ma ʻohovale ʻi hono fōtungá. Ko ʻene teuteú (pe ʻikai teuteú) ko ha meʻa te u ala ui ʻi he loto fakaʻapaʻapa ko e “tōtuʻa.” Naʻá ne ʻeke pe ko ha ongo faifekau kimaua ʻi he Siasí. Naʻá ma talaange ʻio. Naʻe ʻikai mei mataʻofi ʻene fakahoko mai ʻa e talanoa ʻo ʻene moʻui mamahí, mo fonu angahalá. Ko hono taʻu 28 pē ʻeni, ka ʻokú ne moʻui mamahi. Naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻoku ʻikai hano mahuʻinga, he ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ke makatuʻunga ai ʻene moʻuí. … Naʻá ne kōlenga mo e loʻimataʻia pe ʻoku toe ʻi ai ha ʻamanaki kiate ia, ha faʻahinga founga pē ke ne hao ai mei hono tūkunga fakamamahí. (Russell M. Nelson, “Repentance and Conversion,” Liahona, May 2007, 102)

• Kapau naʻá ke talanoa ki he fefine ko ʻení, ko e hā ha ngaahi moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi te ke loto ke ne ʻiloʻí?

• Ko e hā te ke fai ke feinga ke tokoni ki he fefine ko ʻení?

• ʻE tākiekina fēfē nai ʻe heʻene ngaahi ongo lolotongá ʻa ʻene loto-holi ke tafoki ki he Fakamoʻuí?

Mahalo kuó ke ongoʻi foki pe ko ha taha ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ongo ʻo e ʻikai ha mahuʻingá pe ʻikai fakamolemoleá. Fakalaulauloto ki he meʻa ʻokú ke tui moʻoni ki ai fekauʻaki mo e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi mo e fakamolemolé.

ʻI hoʻo ako ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení, fekumi ki ha ngaahi fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo e natula ʻo e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí pea mo e ongo ʻokú Na maʻu kiate kitautolu ʻo aʻu pē ki he taimi ʻoku tau faiangahala aí. Fakalaulauloto ki he founga ʻe ala tokoniʻi ai koe mo kinautolu ʻokú ke ʻiló ʻe he ngaahi moʻoni ko ʻení.

Samuela ko e Leimaná

Hangē ko e fefine ko ʻení, naʻe mālohi moʻoni ʻa e kau Nīfaí ʻi he faiangahalá. Naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e palōfita ko Samuelá ʻi Heʻene ʻofá, mo ha pōpoaki kiate kinautolu.

Lau ʻa e Hilamani 13:5–8, 11, 39; 14:11–13; 15:3, pea kumi ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke ako fekauʻaki mo e ʻEikí, tautautefito ki he ngaahi fakakaukau ʻe ala tokoni kiate kitautolu ʻi he taimi kuo tau faiangahala aí. (Mahalo ʻe tokoni ke ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e tauteaʻí [vakai, Hilamani 15:3] ke fakatonutonu pe akoʻi. Vakai, Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “Valokí, Valokiʻíscriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.)

1. Tali ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ‘ení:

   • Ko e hā ʻe hoko ai ko ha tāpuaki ke maʻu ha fakatokanga fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi nunuʻa kovi te tau fehangahangai mo ia kapau he ʻikai ke tau fakatomalá? ʻOku fakahaaʻi fēfē nai ʻe he fakatonutonu ʻa e ʻEikí ʻa ʻEne ʻofá?

   • Ko e hā ʻe hoko ai ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e hāʻele mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ki he māmaní, fakataha mo ʻetau malava ke fakatomalá, ko ha “ongoongo fakafiefiá”? (Hilamani 13:7).

   • Ko e hā ha ngaahi kupuʻi lea ʻoku nau fakahaaʻi ʻa e finangalo lelei ʻa e ʻEikí ke fakamolemoleʻi kapau ʻe fakatomala ʻa e kau Nīfaí, neongo ne nau fakahoko ha angahala mamafa?

Ko e ʻaloʻofa mo e fakamolemole ʻa e ʻEikí

Ko e moʻoni ʻe taha ʻoku tau ako mei he ngaahi potufolofola ko ʻení ʻoku fakatokanga ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ki he kakaí fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo e angahalá pea fakamolemoleʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku fakatomalá.

Naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá (1805–44) “ʻoku fālute ʻe he ʻaloʻofa fakamolemolé ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē” (“Discourse, 3 October 1841, as Published in Times and Seasons,” 577, josephsmithpapers.org).

• ʻE liliu fēfē nai ʻe he mahino ki he natula ʻaloʻofa mo faʻa fakamolemole ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻa e ongo ʻoku tau maʻu fekauʻaki mo ʻetau ngaahi angahalá pea mo e fakatomalá?

ʻOku mahuʻinga ke mahino neongo ʻoku ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí, ka ʻokú Ne fakamaau totonu foki. ʻOku ʻikai ke ne tukunoaʻi pe taʻofi ʻa e ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo ʻetau ngaahi angahalá. Ka koeʻuhí naʻe totongi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻetau ngaahi angahalá ʻi Heʻene Fakaleleí mo “totongi ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻa e fakamaau totonú” (Mōsaia 15:9), ʻokú Ne foaki mai ʻa e fakamolemolé ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fakatomala aí.

• ʻE tākiekina fēfē nai ho vā fetuʻutaki mo Iá ʻi hono ʻiloʻi ʻa e fakamaau totonu mo e ʻaloʻofa haohaoa ʻa e ʻEikí?

Fakakaukauloto ki he faikehekehe ʻe lava ke fakahoko ʻe ha mahino loloto ange ki he ʻEikí ʻa e fefine naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e lēsoní. Teuteu ha fakamatala maʻana ʻaki hono fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni:

2. Fakakakato ʻa e ʻekitivitī A pe E, pea fakaʻaongaʻi hoʻo ngaahi talí ke fakakakato ʻa e ʻekitivitī F.

   1. Fili ha kupuʻi lea ʻe ua pe lahi ange mei he ngaahi veesi naʻá ke lau ʻi he tohi Hilamaní, pe fakaʻilongaʻi ha ngaahi potufolofola kehe ʻoku nau fakahaaʻi ʻa e natula fakamolemole ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi heʻetau fakatomalá, hangē ko e Mōsaia 26:30 pe Molonai 6:8. ʻE lava fēfē nai ke tokoniʻi ʻe he ngaahi kupuʻi lea ko ʻení ʻa e fefiné ni?

   2. ʻOua ʻe vahevahe ha fakaikiiki fekauʻaki mo ha ngaahi angahala ʻi he kuohilí, kae ʻomi ha sīpinga mei hoʻo moʻuí, moʻui ʻa e niʻihi kehé, pe ko e ngaahi folofola ʻoku hā mahino ai ʻa e natula ʻaloʻofa mo faʻa fakamolemole ʻo e ʻEikí. Ke sio ki ha ngaahi sīpinga, te ke lava ʻo toe vakaiʻi ʻa e Luke 7:36–50 pe ʻĪnosi 1:1–8 pe mamata ʻi he “Vali ki haTuliki” (3:41). ʻOku maʻu ʻa e vitiō ko ʻení ʻi he ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

   3. ʻI hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi potufolofola pe sīpinga naʻá ke maʻú, tokoni ke mahino ki he fefiné ʻoku foaki mai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻEne ʻaloʻofá mo e fakamolemolé kiate kitautolu ʻi heʻetau fakatomalá.

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻa e meʻa naʻe hoko ki he fefiné ni. Mamata ʻi he “Fakatomalá mo e Uluí” mei he taimi 0:50 ki he 1:27, ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ChurchofJesusChrist.org, pe lau ʻa e fakamatala ko ʻení.

ʻI heʻene leá, naʻe kamata ke hā mai ʻa e lelei hono laumālié. Naʻá ne kōlenga mo e loʻimataʻia pe ʻoku toe ʻi ai ha ʻamanaki kiate ia, ha faʻahinga founga pē ke ne hao ai mei hono tūkunga fakamamahí.

Naʻá ma tali ange, “‘Io, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ʻamanaki. ‘Oku fehokotaki ʻa e ʻamanakí mo e fakatomalá. Te ke lava ʻo liliu. Te ke lava ʻo ‘haʻu kia Kalaisi, pea hoko ʻo haohaoa ʻiate ia’ [Molonai 10:32].” Naʻá ma poupou kiate ia ke ʻoua ʻe fakatoloi [vakai, ʻAlamā 13:27; 34:33]. Naʻá ne tangi ʻi he loto fakatōkilalo mo fakamālō fakamātoato kiate kimaua. (Russell M. Nelson, “Repentance and Conversion,” Liahona, May 2007, 102)

ʻE nofotaha ʻa e lēsoni hokó ʻi he fakatomalá mo e founga te tau lava ai ʻo ikunaʻi ha faʻahinga faingataʻa pē ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo ia ʻi heʻetau fakatomalá.

Tuku ha taimi ke ke fakalaulauloto fakamātoato ai ki he founga ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi ai koe ʻe he mahino lelei ange kiate koe ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he taimi kuó ke faiangahala aí. Hiki hifo ʻa e meʻa naʻá ke ako mo ongoʻi naʻe mahuʻingamālie taha kiate koé pea mo hono ʻuhingá. Fakakaukau ki he founga ʻe lava ke ʻomi ai ʻe he mahino lelei ange kiate koe ʻa e ʻaloʻofa mo e faʻa fakamolemole ʻa e ʻEikí mo e fakatomalá, ha nonga lahi ange ki hoʻo moʻuí.

Fakakaukau ke vahevahe ʻa e meʻa naʻá ke ako mo ongoʻi he ʻaho ní mo ha taha ʻokú ke ʻofa ai.

Fili Pē: Fie Ako Lahi Ange?

ʻOku fengāueʻaki fakataha fēfē nai ʻa e fakamaau totonú mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí?

Naʻe akonaki mai ʻa ʻEletā D. Toti Kulisitofāsoni ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē:

Ko e fakamoʻoni mālohi ʻo e fakamaau totonu ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa ʻEne fokotuʻu ko ia ke kaungā-fononga mo e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ʻaloʻofá. Koeʻuhí ʻokú Ne fakamaau totonu kuó Ne fokotuʻutuʻu ai ha founga ke fakahoko ʻe he ʻaloʻofá ʻa hono fatongia ʻi hotau ikuʻanga taʻengatá. Ko ia ai, “ʻoku fai ʻe he fakamaau totonú ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻeke kotoa pē, pea ʻoku kumi foki ʻe he ʻaloʻofá ke maʻu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻaná.” [ʻAlamā 42:24].

ʻOku tau ʻilo ko e “ngaahi mamahi mo e mate ʻaʻana ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ke ne fai ha angahalá, ʻa ia naʻe hoifua lelei ki ai [ʻa e Tamaí]; … ki he toto ʻo [Hono] Fohá ʻa ia naʻe lilingí” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 45:4) ʻa ia naʻá ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻa e fiemaʻu ʻa e fakamaau totonú, ʻoatu mo e ʻaloʻofá, pea huhuʻi kitautolú. Neongo ia, “kae fakatatau ki he fakamaau totonú, ʻe ʻikai lava ʻo fakahoko ʻa e palani ʻo e huhuʻí, tuku kehe ʻo ka toki fakatomala” (ʻAlamā 42:13; naʻe tānaki atu hono fakamamafaʻí). Ko e fiemaʻu ia mo e faingamālie ke fakatomalá ʻokú ne fakaʻatā ʻa e ʻaloʻofá ke fakahoko ʻene ngāué kae ʻikai ke ne tāmoloki ai ʻa e fakamaau totonú.
