Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEletā Kēvini S. Hemilitoni ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú fekauʻaki mo e tupuʻangá-mo e-olá (pe makatuʻunga ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hokó) ʻo pehē:

ʻOku ngāue foki ʻa e ʻEikí fakafou ʻi ha ngaahi makatuʻunga: makatuʻunga ʻo e tuí, angamāʻoniʻoní, mo e fakatomalá. ʻOku lahi e ngaahi sīpinga ʻo e fakamatala ki he ngaahi makatuʻunga mei he ʻOtuá hangē ko e: …

“Kapau te mou kole ʻi he loto-fakamātoato, mo e loto-moʻoni, ʻo maʻu ʻa [e] tui kia Kalaisi, [pea] te ne fakahā ʻa hono moʻoní kiate kimoutolu, ʻi he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní” (Molonai 10:4). …

“Kapau ʻoku mou fai ʻeku ngaahi fekaú, [pea] te mou nofo ʻi heʻeku ʻofá” (Sione 15:10). (Kevin S. Hamilton, “Te U Liliu ʻa e Ngaahi Meʻa Vaivaí ko e Mālohi,” Liahona, Mē 2022, 50, ngaahi haʻí mo e fakamamafá ʻi he tatau totonú)

Fakatokangaʻi ange ʻi he sīpinga ʻa ʻEletā Hemilitoní ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻa e foʻi lea kapaú ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fakahokó. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi leva ʻa e ngaahi ola ʻo ʻetau ngaahi ngāué.

ʻI hono akoʻi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e kakai ʻi he fonua ko Mahú, naʻe fakamatalaʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni mahuʻinga naʻá Ne akoʻí ko ha ngaahi tupuʻanga-mo e-ola ʻa ia naʻe kau ai ʻa e foʻi lea kapaú. Hangē ko ʻení, lau ʻa e 3 Nīfai 13:14–15 pea fakakaukau ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e foʻi lea kapaú ʻi he veesi takitaha.

Fakatokangaʻi ange ʻi he sīpinga ʻa ʻEletā Hemilitoní, naʻá ne fakahū ʻa e foʻi lea peá ki he fakamatala takitaha ke fakamamafaʻi ʻa e ngaahi ola ʻo ʻetau ngaahi filí. Mahalo te ke fie lekooti ʻa e foʻi lea peá ʻi hoʻo folofolá ʻa ia ʻokú ke pehē ʻoku feʻunga mo e veesi 14–15.

ʻOku ʻikai kau ʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi akonaki ʻa Sīsuú ʻa e foʻi lea kapaú. Ka neongo ia, ʻi he fakakaukau lelei mo e tokoni mei he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, te ke lava ʻo fakatokangaʻi ʻa e fehokotaki ʻi he tupuʻangá-mo e-olá ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakamahinoʻi ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni naʻá Ne akoʻí.

Hangē ko ʻení: Hili hono ako ʻo e 3 Nīfai 13:1–4, ʻe lava ke tohi ʻe ha taha ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku anga faka-Kalaisi ʻetau taumuʻa ki hono tokoniʻi e masivá, ʻe maʻu leva hotau palé mei he Tamai Hēvaní.” Te tau lava ʻo ako mei he potufolofola ko ʻení ʻoku mahuʻinga ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ʻa ʻetau ngaahi taumuʻa ki he ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoní, ʻa ia ʻokú Ne loto-ʻofa ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku hoko ʻo hangē ko Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí.

Fili Pē: Fie Ako Lahi Ange?

ʻOku hala nai ke toutou lotua ha meʻa pe fakaʻaongaʻi ha ngaahi kupuʻi lea tatau ʻi he lotú?

Ko e fakatokanga ʻa e ʻEikí ki he “ngaahi meʻa tatau taʻeʻaonga maʻu peé” (3 Nīfai 13:7) ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻuhinga ia he ʻikai ke tau lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e lea tatau he taimi kotoa pē ʻoku tau lotu aí. Ko e fakatokangá ki he ngaahi lea fakangalingali mo ʻikai fakamātoató. Ko e meʻa ʻoku mahuʻingá ko e fakamātoato ʻo ʻetau lotú. (Vakai, ʻAlamā 34:28 ke sio ki ha founga ʻe taha ʻe lava ke pehē ai ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ha lotu.)

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni (1927–2018):

ʻI heʻetau lotú, tau fetuʻutaki moʻoni muʻa mo ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní he taimi ʻoku tau lotu aí. ʻOku faingofua hono tuku ke hoko ʻetau lotú ko ha meʻa ʻoku toutou lea ʻaki pē, ʻo tau lea ʻaki ai ha ngaahi lea ʻoku ʻikai ʻuhinga pe mahuʻingamālie. … Tau lotu muʻa ʻi he loto-fakamātoato mo hangamālie, ʻo tau fakafetaʻi mo kolea e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau ongoʻi ʻoku tau fiemaʻú.

3 Nīfai 14:1. ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e fekau ke “ʻoua ʻe fakamāú”?

Naʻe fakamatala ʻe Palesiteni Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ʻo pehē:

ʻOku ‘i ai ha faʻahinga fakamaau ‘e ua: ko e ngaahi fakamaau fakaʻosí, ‘a ia ‘oku taʻofi ke ‘oua te tau fai, mo e ngaahi fakamaau fakakonga, ‘a ia ‘oku fakahinohinoʻi kitautolu ke tau fai kae makatuʻunga ‘i he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ‘oku māʻoniʻoni. …

… Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ne fekauʻi ai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ke ʻoua te tau fai e fakamaau fakaʻosi ko ʻení? ʻOku ou tui naʻe ʻomai ʻa e fekau ko ʻení he ʻoku tau aafe ke fakamāuʻi leva ha taha ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau pehē ai ʻe ʻalu ha taha ki heli (pe ki langi) koeʻuhí ko ha meʻa naʻá ne fai pe ʻi ha taimi pau. …

ʻOku tau fakamaauʻi [fakakonga] hono fili hotau ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, fili ki he founga ʻo hono fakaʻaongaʻi hotau taimí mo e paʻangá, pea pehē foki ki hono fili ʻo ha hoa taʻengatá. …

… ʻOku totonu ke tau fakamamaʻo ʻi he taimi kotoa pē te tau lava ai, mei hono fakamaauʻi ʻa e kakaí kae ʻoua ke tau maʻu ha ʻilo feʻunga kau ki he ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa naʻe hokó. ʻOku totonu ke tau feinga ki he lahi taha te tau ala lavá, ke tau fakamaauʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻātakai ʻo e meʻa naʻe hokó kae ʻikai ko e kakaí.
