ʻOku akonekina mo tāpuakiʻi ʻe Līhai hono fāmilí

Kimuʻa pea kamata e kalasí, hiki ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé:

Kamata e kalasí ʻaki hono fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke tali e fehuʻi ʻi he palakipoé. Hili e tali e kau akó, fehuʻi ange:

Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fatongia ʻa e mātuá mo e ngaahi kuí ʻi hono akoʻi mo faleʻi ʻenau fānaú mo e makapuná?

Mahalo te ke fie maʻu ke lau pe fehuʻi ki ha tokotaha ako ke lau ʻa e lea ko ʻení ko ha konga ʻo e fealeaʻakí:

“ʻOku maʻu ʻe he mātuʻá ha fatongia toputapu ke ohi hake ʻa ʻenau fānaú ʻi he ʻofa mo e māʻoniʻoni, mo tokonaki maʻa ʻenau ngaahi fie maʻu fakatuʻasinó mo fakalaumālié, pea hinoiʻi kinautolu ke nau feʻofoʻofani mo fetauhiʻaki, mo tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá pea hoko ko ha kau tangataʻifonua tauhi lao ʻi ha feituʻu pē ʻoku nau nofo ai.

Fakafeʻiloaki ʻa e 2 Nīfai 4ʻaki hono fakamatalaʻi, kimuʻa pea pekia ʻa Līhaí, naʻá ne akonaki ki hono hakó ke tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekaú. Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke lau ʻa e 2 Nīfai 4:3–11, ʻo fekumi ki he kakai naʻe akoʻi ʻe Līhaí pea mo e akonaki naʻá ne ʻoange kiate kinautolú.

Ko e hā e talaʻofa naʻe fai ʻe Līhai ki he fānau ʻa Leimana mo Lēmiuelá? (Vakai, 2 Nīfai 4:7, 9.)
Makatuʻunga ʻi he 2 Nīfai 4:5, ʻokú ke pehē ko e hā e fatongia kuo foaki ʻe he ʻEikí ki he mātuʻá? (Mahalo ʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he kau akó ha ngaahi lea kehekehe ke tali ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻení, kae fakapapauʻi ʻoku mahino kiate kinautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻe he mātuʻá ha fatongia mei he ʻOtuá ke akoʻi e ongoongoleleí ki heʻenau fānaú.)

2 Nīfai 4:12–35

Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Nīfai hono ngaahi vaivaí pea fakahaaʻi ʻene falala ki he ʻEikí

Tohi ʻi he palakipoé ʻa eʻOku fiefia ʻa hoku laumālié ʻi he …

Kole ki he kau akó ke tohi e kupuʻi lea ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau tohinoa ako folofolá pe tohi fakamatala fakakalasí pea fakaʻosi ʻa e leá, pea lisi e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fiefia ai honau laumālié.

Kole ki ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi ʻa e 2 Nīfai 4:15–16 ke ʻiloʻi e founga hono fakakakato ʻe Nīfai e kupuʻi leá.

Ko e hā ha ngaahi meʻa ne tau mei fai kapau naʻe fiefia hotau laumālié ʻi he ngaahi folofolá?
Ko e hā ʻene ʻuhinga kiate koe ke fiefia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻa e ʻEikí?
Naʻe pehē ʻe Nīfai ʻoku fakalaulauloto hono lotó ki he ngaahi meʻa kuo mamata mo fanongo aí. Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻo ʻeni kiate koé?

Fakamahinoʻi naʻe aʻusia ʻe Nīfai ha fiefia lahi ʻi heʻene moʻuí. Neongo iá, naʻá ne tofanga foki ʻi ha ngaahi faingataʻa. ʻAi ke lau fakalongolongo ʻe he kau akó ʻa e 2 Nīfai 4:12–13 ke ʻilo ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa ne fehangahangai mo Nīfai ʻi he taimi ko ʻeni ʻo ʻene moʻuí. (Ko e pekia ʻa Līhaí mo e ʻita ʻa Leimana, Lēmiuela mo e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsimelí.)

Ne lahi e ngaahi faingataʻa ne fehangahangai mo Nīfaí ko e tupu mei he ngaahi ʻulungaanga mo e tōʻonga ʻa hono ongo taʻoketé. Ka naʻe toe ongoʻi mamahi foki ʻa Nīfai koeʻuhí ko ʻene ngaahi vaivai pē ʻaʻaná. Tohi ʻi he palakipoéʻOku mamahi hoku lotó koeʻuhí …

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke lau ʻa e 2 Nīfai 4:17–18 pea fekumi ki he ngaahi ʻuhinga naʻe ongoʻi mamahi ai ʻa Nīfaí.

ʻI hono maʻu ʻe he kau akó e taimi ke lau ai e ngaahi veesi ko ʻení, fehuʻi ange pe ko e hā e meʻa kuo nau maʻú. Tataki ʻenau tokangá ki he ngaahi foʻi lea ko e loto-mamahi, kakanó,mo e moʻuaʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení. Fakamatala ʻoku ʻuhinga e foʻi lea loto-mamahíki he mamahi pe tuʻunga māʻulalo. ʻI he folofolá ʻoku faʻa ʻuhinga e foʻi leakakanó ki he ngaahi vaivai ʻoku tau maʻú he ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi ha tuʻunga hinga. ʻOku ʻuhinga e foʻi lea moʻuáki he ʻākilotoa pe ʻohofi mei he ngaahi tafaʻaki kotoa pē.

Ko e hā ha ngaahi sīpinga ʻo e ngaahi faingataʻa te tau ala moʻua aí? (Mahalo ʻe kau ʻi he talí ʻa e palopalema ʻi ʻapí, mālohi fakatoʻú, faingataʻa ʻo e ngāue fakaakó mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí.)

ʻAi ke lau ʻe ha tokotaha ako ʻa e 2 Nīfai 4:19. Mahalo te ke fie maʻu ke Poupouʻi e kau akó ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e lea “Neongo iá, ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ʻa ia ʻoku ou falala ki aí.” Fakamahinoʻi ʻoku hā ʻi he 2 Nīfai 4:19, ne liliu ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Nīfaí mei he mamahí ki he ʻamanaki leleí.

Ko e hā hoʻo fakakaukau ki he ʻuhinga ʻa Nīfai ʻi heʻene pehē “ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ʻa ia ʻoku ou falala ki aí”?
ʻOku tokoni fēfē mai ʻa hono manatuʻi ʻo e ʻEikí mo ʻEne angaʻofá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau lotosiʻi aí?

Lau leʻolahi e 2 Nīfai 4:20–25. Kole ki he kau akó ke nau muimui ʻi heʻenau folofolá. Fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke fekumi ki he ngaahi foʻi lea mo e kupuʻi lea ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi ʻoku poupouʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa kinautolu ʻoku falala kiate Iá.

Ko e fē e ngaahi foʻi lea pe kupuʻi lea ʻi he 2 Nīfai 4:20–25ʻoku ʻuhingamālie kiate koé? Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
Fakakaukau ki ha taimi ne poupouʻi pe tokoniʻi ai koe ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi ha taimi faingataʻa. Naʻá ne tokoniʻi fēfē koe? Kuo tākiekina fēfē nai koe ʻe he meʻa ko ia ne hokó ki he leleí?

Mahalo ʻe tokoni ke ʻoange ki he kau akó ha taimi ke nau fakakaukau ai ki ha aʻusia pehē pea hiki kinautolu ʻi heʻenau tohinoa ako folofolá. Mahalo ʻe ʻaonga foki ki he kau akó kapau te ke talanoa ki ha taimi ne poupouʻi pe tokoniʻi ai koe ʻe he ʻOtuá.

Tokoni ki he kau akó ke mahino naʻe hanga ʻe he malava ko ia ʻa Nīfai ke manatuʻi pea houngaʻia ʻi he meʻa kuo fai maʻana ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi he kuohilí ʻo ʻoange ʻa e ʻamanaki lelei mo Poupouʻi ia ke hoko ʻo lelei ange. Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke lau fakalongolongo e 2 Nīfai 4:26–30, pea fekumi ki he anga hono tokoniʻi ʻe he ngaahi meʻa ne aʻusia ʻe Nīfaí ʻene holi ke angatonú. Kole ki ha niʻihi ʻo e kau akó ke vahevahe e meʻa naʻa nau ʻiló.

Kole ki ha kau ako ʻe niʻihi ke nau fetongitongi ʻi hono lau leʻolahi e 2 Nīfai 4:30–35. ʻAi ke ʻilo ʻe he kalasí e ngaahi tukupā ne fai ʻe Nīfai ki he ʻEikí pea mo e ngaahi tāpuaki naʻá ne kolé.

Ko e hā te tau lava ʻo ako mei he lotu ko ʻení ʻa ia te ne lava ʻo tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi heʻetau lotu fakatāutahá? (Mahalo ʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he kau akó ha ngaahi lea kehekehe ke tali e fehuʻi ko ʻení, kae fakapapauʻi ʻoku mahinoʻe lava ʻe he lotu fakamātoató ʻo fakamālohia ʻetau tukupā ke lavaʻi ʻa e angahalá mo e fakalotosiʻí.)

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau fakakaukau ki ha taimi ne tokoni ai ʻa e lotú kiate kinautolu ke lavaʻi ʻa e angahalá mo e fakalotosiʻí. Mahalo te ke fie fokotuʻu ange ke nau vahevahe ʻenau ngaahi aʻusiá pe hiki kinautolu ʻi heʻenau tohinoa ako folofolá.

ʻI heʻetau ako ʻa e kole tokoni ʻi he loto moʻoni ʻa Nīfai ki he ʻEikí ke ne ikunaʻi ʻene ngaahi angahalá mo e vaivaí, ʻokú tau ʻilo te tau lava ʻo kole ki he ʻEikí ʻa e tokoni tatau. ʻOku toe fakaongo mai e ngaahi lea ʻa Nīfaí ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa e kau palōfita ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní.

Naʻe akonaki ʻa e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻo pehē:

“Ko e ofi ange ko ia ʻa e tangatá ki he haohaoá, ko e maama ange ia ʻene vakaí mo lahi ange ʻene fiefiá, kae ʻoua kuó ne ikunaʻi ʻa e ngaahi kovi ʻo ʻene moʻuí pea mole meiate ia ʻa e holi kotoa pē ke faiangahalá” (Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí: Siosefa Sāmita [2007], 241).
