ʻAlamā 8:1–6

ʻOku tali ʻe he kakai tokolahi ʻi Mīleki ʻa e pōpoaki ʻa ʻAlamaá pea nau papitaiso

Kole ki he kau akó ke hiki honau nimá ki ʻolunga kapau ʻoku ʻi ai hanau kāinga pe kaungāmeʻa kuo ʻosi ngāue fakafaifekau maʻá e Siasí. Fakaafeʻi ha toko ua pe toko tolu ʻo e kau akó ke nau vahevahe ha meʻa ne fakahā ange ʻe honau kāingá pe kaungāmeʻá ne nau aʻusia ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi ʻa e anga e ongo ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kau faifekaú he taimi ʻoku tali ai ʻenau pōpoakí. (Te ke lava foki ʻo fakakaukauʻi ke fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau talanoa ki he ngaahi taimi ne loto lelei ai ha taha ke tali ʻenau ngaahi feinga ke vahevahe ʻa e ongoongoleleí. Mahalo naʻá ke fie vahevahe ha meʻa kuó ke ʻausia tonu.)

Kole ki he kau akó ke nau lau fakalongolongo pē ʻa e ʻAlamā 8:1–5. ʻAi ke nau ʻiloʻi e ngaahi kolo ʻe tolu ne malangaʻi ai ʻe ʻAlamā ʻa e ongoongoleleí. Hiki e hingoa ʻo e ngaahi kolo ko ʻeni ʻe tolú he palakipoé. (Seilahemala, Kitione mo Mīleki.)

Ko e hā e ola e malanga ʻa ʻAlamā ʻi he ngaahi kolo ko ʻeni ʻe tolú? (Mahalo te ke fie fokotuʻu ange ki he kau akó ke nau vakai ki he ngaahi fakamatala fakanounou ʻo e vahe ʻo ʻAlamā 6–8 ke tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau tali e fehuʻi ko ʻení.)

Fakamahinoʻi ange neongo naʻe tali ʻe he kakai ʻo e ngaahi kolo ko ʻení ʻa e pōpoaki ʻa ʻAlamaá, ka naʻe kei fehangahangai pē ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú mo e ngaahi faingataʻá.

ʻAlamā 8:7–32

Hili hono fakafisingaʻi ʻo ʻAlamā ʻi ʻAmonaihaá, ʻoku fekau ʻe he ʻEikí kiate ia ke toe foki

Fehuʻi ange ki he kau akó pe kuo mamata nai hanau kāinga pe kaungāmeʻa kuo nau ngāue fakafaifekau taimi kakató ki hono fakafisingaʻi ʻe he kakaí ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Fakakaukau ke fakaafeʻi ha kau ako tokosiʻi pē ke nau talanoa ki he founga ne tali ʻaki ʻe honau kāingá pe kaungāmeʻá ki he ngaahi meʻa pehē ne nau aʻusiá.

Fakaafeʻi ha kau ako tokosiʻi pē ke nau taufetongi hono lau leʻolahi ʻa e ʻAlamā 8:7–14. Poupouʻi e kalasí ke nau fakakaukau ki he faʻahinga ongo naʻe mei ongoʻi ʻe ʻAlamā ʻi heʻene feinga ke akoʻi e ongoongoleleí ki he kakai ʻo ʻAmonaihaá. ʻI hono lau ʻe he kau akó ʻa e ngaahi veesi ko ʻení, ʻai ke nau kiʻi mālōlō ʻi ha ngaahi taimi ke tali e ngaahi fehuʻi hangē ko ʻení:

Ko e hā ʻoku fakahā mai ʻe he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení kau ki he ʻulungaanga ʻo ʻAlamaá? (Vakai, ʻAlamā 8:8–10.
Naʻe mei fēfē haʻo tali ki he founga naʻa nau talitaliʻaki ʻa ʻAlamaá? (Vakai, ʻAlamā 8: 11–13.
ʻOku tatau pe faikehekehe fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa ʻAlamaá mo haʻo tali ʻi ha tūkunga pehē? (Vakai, ʻAlamā 8:14. Mahalo te ke fie fokotuʻu ange ko e fili ʻa ʻAlamā ke hokohoko atu e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he kolo ko ʻĒloné, ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa ʻene tui ki he ʻEikí pea he ʻikai ke ne holomui.)

Fakamahino ange neongo naʻe fakamātoato e lotua ʻe ʻAlamā e kakai ʻo ʻAmonaihaá (vakai, ʻAlamā 8:10), naʻe ʻikai ke tali mai leva ʻene ngaahi kolé. (Ne fakatomala kimui ha kakai ʻe niʻihi ʻi ʻAmonaihā. Vakai, ʻAlamā 14:1.

Lau e lea ko ʻeni ʻa ʻEletā Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá:

“ʻOku ou fakatokangaʻi ʻoku ʻi ai pē e taimi ʻe hangē ʻoku ʻikai fai mai ha tali ki ha niʻihi ʻo ʻetau ngaahi lotu fakamātoato tahá. ʻOku tau fifili ʻo pehē,ʻ Ko e hā nai hono ʻuhingá?’ ʻOku ou ʻosi ʻilo e ongo ko iá! ʻOku ou ʻilo e manavasiʻi mo tō ʻa e loʻimata he ngaahi momeniti pehení. Ka ʻoku ou toe ʻiloʻi pē foki ʻoku ʻikai taʻe tali mai ʻetau ngaahi lotú. ʻOku ʻikai ha taimi ʻe taʻe fakahoungaʻi ai ʻetau tuí. ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku lahi ange ʻa e ʻilo ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamai Hēvani potó ʻiate kitautolu. Lolotonga ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻetau ngaahi palopalemá mo e mamahi fakamatelié, ʻokú Ne ʻafioʻi ʻetau fakalakalaka ki he taʻe-faʻa-maté mo e meʻa ʻoku tau lavá” (“Jesus Christ—the Master Healer,” Ensign pe Liahona, Nov. 2005, 86).

Ko e hā ne akoʻi mai ʻe ʻEletā Nalesoni ʻe lava ʻo tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau maʻu e tuí neongo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke tali vave mai ʻetau ngaahi lotú pe ʻi ha founga ʻoku tau ʻamanaki pe fakatetuʻa ki aí?

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e ʻAlamā 8:14–17. Kole ki he kalasí ke nau muimuiʻi hono laú, ʻo kumi e ngaahi pōpoaki fakafiemālie ʻi he lea ʻa e ʻāngeló pea mo ha fekau naʻe mei faingataʻa kia ʻAlamā ke ne talangofua ki ai.

Naʻe fakafiemālie fēfē nai kia ʻAlamā ʻa e lea ʻa e ʻāngeló ʻi he ʻAlamā 8:15? ʻE fakafiemālieʻi fēfē nai koe ʻe he lea ʻa e ʻāngeló?
Ko e hā naʻe mei faingataʻa ai kia ʻAlamā ke talangofua ʻi he tuʻunga ko ʻení?

ʻAi ke lau ʻe he kau akó ʻa e ʻAlamā 8:18, ʻo kumi ʻa e foʻi lea ʻokú ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻulungaanga naʻe tali ʻaki ʻe ʻAlamā ʻa e fekau ʻa e ʻEikí ke toe foki ki he kolo ko ʻAmonaihaá. (Mahalo te ke fie fokotuʻu ange ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻe he kau akó ʻa e foʻi lea ko e fakavavevave.)

Ko e hā ʻoku tau lava ʻo ako meia ʻAlamā mei he foʻi moʻoni ko ia naʻá ne foki fakavavevave ki ʻAmonaihaá?

Lau ʻa e lea ko ʻeni ʻa Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí. Kole ange ki he kau akó ke nau fakafanongo ki he founga te tau lava ʻo maʻu ai ha lelei mei he talangofua vave ki he ʻEikí:

“Neongo pe ko e hā e lahi ʻo ʻetau tui ke talangofua ki he ʻOtuá he lolotonga ní, ʻe fie maʻu ke hokohoko atu ʻetau kei fakamālohia mo fakafoʻou maʻu pē iá. Te tau lava ʻo fakahoko ʻeni ʻaki haʻatau fakapapauʻi he taimí ni ke toe vave ange ʻetau talangofuá mo vilitaki ke kātakí. Ko e kī ki he mateuteu fakalaumālié ko e ako ke kamata vave mo taʻefeliliuaki. …

“Kuo ʻosi foaki mai ʻe ha Tamai Hēvani ʻofa mo Hono ʻAlo Pelé ʻa e ngaahi tokoni kotoa pē ʻokú Na malavá, ke tau lavaʻi ʻa e sivi kuo tuku mai ʻi he moʻuí. Ka kuo pau ke tau fili ke talangofua pea fakahoko ia. ʻOku tau fakatupulaki ʻa e tui ke lavaʻi ʻa e ngaahi sivi ʻo e talangofuá ʻi ha vahaʻataimi pea ʻi heʻetau ngaahi fili fakaʻahó. Te tau lava ʻo fili he taimí ni ke fakahoko vave ha meʻa pē ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá meiate kitautolu. Pea te tau lava foki ʻo fili ke tau tuʻu maʻu ʻi he fanga kiʻi sivi iiki ʻo e talangofuá ʻa ē ʻokú ne fakatupulaki e tui ke pouaki kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi sivi lalahi kuo pau ke hoko maí” (“Mateuteu Fakalaumālié: Kamata Kei Taimi pea ʻOua ʻe Feliliuaki,” Liahona, Nōv. 2005, 38, 40).

Fakatatau kia Palesiteni ʻAealingi, ko e hā ʻoku hoko ki heʻetau tuí he taimi ʻoku tau talangofua vave ai ki he ʻEikí?
Ko e fē ha taimi kuó ke ongoʻi kuo fakamālohia hoʻo tui ki he ʻEikí koeʻuhí ko hoʻo talangofua vave mo paú?

ʻI he ngaahi tuʻunga takitaha ko ʻení, fehuʻi ange ki he kau akó pe ʻoku lava fēfē ʻe he talangofua vavé ʻo tāpuekina kinautolú:

ʻI he ʻai ke mavahe atu ha finemui ki he akó, ʻoku kole ange ʻe heʻene faʻeé ke ne tui ha vala ʻoku taau angé.
ʻI he ʻinitaviu ha taulaʻeiki foʻou mo ʻene pīsopé, ʻoku fakatukupaaʻi ʻia ke ne maʻu ʻa e Pale ʻo e Fatongia ki he ʻOtuá.
ʻOku ongoʻi ʻe ha ongo faifekau lolotonga ʻena fakataha palani fakaʻahó ha ueʻi fakalaumālie ke ʻaʻahi ki ha fāmili māmālohi ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai ke kau e faʻeé ki he Siasí.

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻAlamā ʻi heʻene talangofua vavé. Fakaafeʻi ha kau ako ʻe toko tolu ki muʻa he kalasí ke nau fai ha tulama ʻo e fetaulaki ʻa ʻAlamā mo ʻAmulekí ʻi he ʻAlamā 8:19–26. ʻAi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau ʻa e lea ʻa ʻAlamaá, ʻai e tokotaha ako hono uá ke ne lau ʻa e lea ʻa ʻAmulekí, pea ʻai e tokotaha ako hono tolú ke ne fakamatala ʻa e talanoá. Poupouʻi e kau akó ke nau lau ʻenau kongá fakataha mo e ngaahi ongo ʻoku nau fakakaukau naʻe aʻusia ʻe ʻAlamā mo ʻAmulekí.

Hili hono fakatātaaʻi, fehuʻi ange:

Naʻe tāpuakiʻi fēfē ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻAlamā ʻi heʻene talangofuá?
ʻOku hoko fēfē e meʻa ne aʻusia ʻe ʻAlamā mo ʻAmulekí ko ha fakaʻilonga naʻe fanongo mo tali ʻe he ʻEikí e ngaahi lotu ʻa ʻAlamaá? (Vakai, ʻAlamā 8:10.)
Ko e hā e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni te tau lava ʻo ako mei he meʻa ne aʻusia ʻe ʻAlamaá? (Mahalo ʻe fokotuʻu atu ʻe he kau akó ha ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni kehekehe. Ko ha tali ʻe taha ʻe malava ke fai ko e taimi ʻoku tau tali vave ai ki he folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻokú Ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau talangofua ki Heʻene ngaahi fekaú.)

Ko e hā e ngaahi faingataʻa ne aʻusia ʻe ʻAlamā mo ʻAmuleki ʻi heʻena ʻalu ke akoʻi e kakaí? (Vakai, ʻAlamā 8:28–29. Naʻe faiangahala lahi ange e kakaí, pea naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻAlamā mo ʻAmuleki ke tala kiate kinautolu ke fakatomala.)
Naʻe tokoniʻi fēfē ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻAlamā mo ʻAmulekí? (Vakai, ʻAlamā 8:30–31. Naʻe fakafonu kinaua ʻaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní peá na maʻu ha mālohi fakalangi ke maluʻi kinaua. Mahalo te ke fie fokotuʻu ange ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻe he kau akó ʻa e fakamatala ki he ngaahi tāpuaki ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau folofolá.)

ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he kupuʻi lea ko e “fuʻu lotu lahí” ʻa e mālohi, mo e fetuʻutaki fonu ʻi he tui mo e ʻOtuá. Naʻe fokotuʻu mai ʻe ʻEletā Siosefa B.
