“Lotoʻā pē Taha mo e Tauhisipi pē Taha”

ʻI hono akoʻi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e kakai ʻi he fonua ko Mahú, naʻá Ne fakahaaʻi ʻEne ʻofa ki he tokotaha kotoa pē. Naʻe fakaafeʻi takitaha kinautolu ke nau omi ʻo aʻusia ʻEne ʻofá maʻanautolu (vakai, 3 Nīfai 11). Naʻá Ne tokoniʻi leva kinautolu ke mahino ʻokú Ne ongoʻi ʻa e ʻofa tatau ki he fānau kotoa ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOkú Ne finangalo ke lau ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē fakataha mo ʻEne fanga sipí. ʻOku fakataumuʻa ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke ongoʻi ʻa e finangalo ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke tānaki koe mo e tokotaha kotoa pē kiate Ia.

Ngaahi huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí

ʻI he hoko ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko ha fakamoʻoni ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻoku ʻi ai ai ha ngaahi huafa kehekehe kiate Ia. Ko ha ngaahi sīpinga pē ʻeni ʻe niʻihi:

• Pule ʻo e ngoue vainé (Sēkope 5:4)

• Maka (Hilamani 5:12)

• Maama (3 Nīfai 11:11)

1. Tali ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ‘ení:

• Ko e hā ha taha ʻo Hono ngaahi huafá ʻokú ke saiʻia taha aí? Ko e hā ‘okú ne akoʻi atu fekauʻaki mo Iá?

Ko e sipi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí

ʻI he 3 Nīfai 15–16, naʻe hoko atu hono akoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kakai ʻi he veʻe temipale ʻi he fonua ko Mahú. Hili hono fakamatalaʻi kuo fakakakato e fono ʻa Mōsesé ʻiate Iá, naʻá Ne vahevahe ha huafa Maʻana ʻe lava ʻo tokoni ke mahino kiate kitautolu hotau vā fetuʻutaki mo Iá.

Lau ʻa e 3 Nīfai 15:17 pea fakakaukau ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e huafa naʻe ʻai ʻe Sīsū Maʻaná.

ʻOku faʻa fakahoa kitautolu ki he fanga sipi ʻoku nau faʻa hē meia Sīsuú ʻo nau hē mo movetevete. Fakalaulauloto ʻi ha kiʻi taimi siʻi pe kuo tonu e talanoa fakatātā ko iá ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻi hoʻo moʻuí. Kuo ʻi ai nai ha ngaahi taimi kuó ke hē ai mei ho Tauhisipi ko Sīsū Kalaisí, pe ʻoku ʻi ai haʻo ngaahi ʻofaʻanga kuo nau hē atu?

• ʻE tākiekina fēfē ʻe he mahino ʻo e ngaahi ongo ʻa Sīsū ki Heʻene fanga sipi kuo fakamoveteveteʻí ʻa e ʻamanaki lelei ʻa ha taha ke foki kiate Iá?

“Fanga sipi kehé”

Naʻe faʻa faʻu ʻe he kau tauhisipi ʻi he kuonga ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ha “ngaahi tākanga,” hangē ko ia ʻi he fakatātā ko ʻení, ke malu ʻenau fanga sipí mei he manu fekaí mo e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki kehé. Ko e Siasi ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ko ha sīpinga ia ʻo ha tākanga ʻokú Ne maluʻi ai kitautolu mei he ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻi he māmaní.

2. Lau e ngaahi potufolofola ʻe tolu ko ʻení, pea tali e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻoku fekauʻaki mo iá:

Sione 10:14–16 (Ko e folofola ʻa Sīsū ki Heʻene “fanga sipi” ʻi ʻIsileli he kuonga muʻá)

• ʻOkú ke pehē ʻoku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e ʻafioʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻEne fanga sipí pea ʻokú nau ʻiloʻi Ia?

3 Nīfai 15:13–17, 21 (Ko e folofola ʻa Sīsū ki Heʻene “fanga sipi” ʻi he ongo ʻAmeliká ʻi he kuonga muʻá)

• ʻOku fekauʻaki fēfē ʻa e Sione 10:16 mo e 3 Nīfai 15:21?

3 Nīfai 16:1–3 (ʻOku kau ʻi he “fanga sipi” ko ʻení ʻa e “faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli kuo pulí” [3 Nīfai 17:4].)

• Ko e hā ʻoku akoʻi atu ʻe he fekau ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení fekauʻaki mo Iá?

Ko e Tauhisipi Leleí

Ko e moʻoni ʻe taha te tau lava ʻo ako mei he ngaahi vahe ko ʻení ʻoku finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi ke tānaki ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ki he tākanga ʻa e Fakamoʻuí.

Lau ʻa e 1 Nīfai 22:25, 28 mo e 3 Nīfai 16:11–13, ʻo kumi e ngaahi fakamatala ki he ngāue ʻa hotau Tauhisipí ki he tānaki fakataha ʻi hotau kuongá.

Tānaki fakataha ki he tākanga ʻa e Fakamoʻuí

ʻI hoʻo ako ʻa e konga ko ʻení, te ke lava ʻo manatuʻi maʻu pē haʻo kaungāmeʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke ne lolotonga fiefia ʻi he ngaahi tāpuaki kakato ʻoku foaki ʻe he Fakamoʻuí kiate kinautolu ʻi Heʻene tākangá (ko e Siasí). Mahalo kuo nau hē mei Hono Siasí, pe ʻoku teʻeki ai ke nau papitaiso.

Lau e ngaahi potufolofola ko ʻení mo e fakamatala naʻe fai ʻe ʻEletā Teili G. Lenilani ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá. Pe ko hoʻo mamata ʻi he foʻi vitiō “Ko Hotau Tauhisipi Leleí,” ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ChurchofJesusChrist.org mei he taimi 3:13 ki he 4:44. Kumi ha ngaahi meʻa te ke loto ke ʻilo hoʻo kaungāmeʻá fekauʻaki mo hotau Tauhisipí.

ʻI heʻene hoko ko e Tauhisipi Leleí, ʻoku vakai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ki he mahamahaki ʻEne sipí ko ha tūkunga ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ai ha faitoʻo, tokangaekina, mo e manavaʻofa. ʻOku fiefia ʻa e tauhisipí ni, ʻa hotau Tauhisipi Leleí, ʻi he vakai ʻoku fakaʻau ke moʻui ʻEne sipi mahamahakí. …

Naʻe hāsino moʻoni e ʻofá, manavaʻofá mo e loto-ʻofá ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekau e Fakamoʻuí he māmaní. Naʻe ʻikai ke Ne ʻaʻeva manuki ʻi he ngaahi hala efu ʻo Kāleli mo Siuteá, peá ne holo he sio ki he kau angahalá. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne fakaʻehiʻehi meiate kinautolu ʻi he ilifia. ʻIkai, naʻá Ne kai fakataha mo kinautolu. Naʻá Ne tokoniʻi mo tāpuakiʻi, hiki hake mo fakamāmaʻi, pea fetongi e ilifiá mo e siva e ʻamanakí, ʻaki e ʻamanaki leleí mo e fiefiá. Hangē ko ʻEne hoko ko ia ko e tauhisipi moʻoní, ʻokú Ne fekumi pea ʻilo kitautolu ke fakafiemālieʻi mo ʻomi e ʻamanaki leleí. (Dale G. Renlund, “Ko Hotau Tauhisipi Leleí,” Liahona, Mē 2017, 30)

ʻOku tau hū fēfē ki he tākanga ʻa e ʻOtuá?

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Lenitī D. Fanga ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú ʻo pehē:

ʻOku taha pē ʻa e hala ki he lotoʻā sipi ʻo e ʻOtuá pea taha pē mo e hala ke fakamoʻui aí. ʻOku fakafou ia ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi.

ʻOku tau ako mei he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa e founga ke haʻu ai ki he lotoʻā sipí, ʻa ia ko e tokāteline ne akoʻi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne kau palōfitá. ʻI heʻetau muimui ki he tokāteline ʻo Kalaisí pea haʻu ki he lotoʻā sipí fakafou ʻi he tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí, fakatomalá, papitaisó mo e hilifakinimá, pea hokohoko atu ʻi he faivelengá, ne palōmesi mai ʻe ʻAlamā ha ngaahi tāpuaki fakataautaha mo pau ʻe fā. ʻE lava ke (1) “huhuʻi ʻa kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtuá,” (2) “kau fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻo e ʻuluaki toetuʻú,” (3) “maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá,” pea (4) ʻe hanga ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo “huaʻi hifo ʻa hono Laumālié ʻo lahi ʻaupito kiate kimoutolu” [Mōsaia 18:9, 10]. (Randy D. Funk, “Haʻu ki he Lotoʻā Sipi ʻo e ʻOtuá,” Liahona, Mē 2022, 119–20)

Ko e hā ʻoku foaki ʻe he Fakamoʻuí kiate kinautolu ʻoku hū ki Heʻene tākangá?

Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEletā Lenitī D. Fanga ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú:

ʻOku tau aʻusia ʻi he lotoʻā sipi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa ʻEne [ko e Tauhisipi Leleí] tokangá mo monūʻia ke ongoʻi ʻEne ʻofa huhuʻí. Naʻá Ne folofola, “Kuó u tohi tongi koe ʻi hoku ʻaofinimá; ʻoku ʻi hoku ʻaó maʻu ai pē ʻa hoʻo ngaahi ʻaá” [ʻĪsaia 49:16].
