Naʻe enginaki ʻa Molomona ʻi heʻene fakamoʻoni fakaʻosí ki he hako ʻo e kau Leimaná ke nau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisi pea muimui Heʻene ongoongoleleí

Hiki ʻa e mataʻifika ko e 230,000 ʻi he palakipoé. ʻEke ki he kau akó pe ʻoku nau manatuʻi ʻa e founga ʻoku fekauʻaki ai ʻa e mataʻifika ko ʻení mo e fakaʻauha ʻo e kau Nīfaí. (Ko e tokolahi ia ʻo e kau Nīfai naʻe mate he tau fakaʻosí, ʻa ia ʻoku lekooti ʻi he Molomona 6. Mahalo te ke fie maʻu ke fakamamafaʻi ange ko e ngaahi mataʻifika ʻoku hā ʻi he Molomona 6:10–15 ʻoku ʻuhinga pē ia kiate kinautolu naʻe kau he taú, ʻikai ke lau ai e tokolahi kehe naʻe tamateʻi ko e ola ia ʻo e taú.) ʻAi ke fakakaukauloto ʻa e kau akó kuo nau hao moʻui mei ha tau lahi ʻa ia ne tamateʻi ai ha kau mēmipa ʻo honau fāmilí mo e ngaahi kaungāmeʻá pea kuo puke pōpula honau fonuá. ʻOange ha taimi ke nau fakakaukau ai ki he meʻa te nau lea ʻakí kapau naʻa nau hiki ha pōpoaki ki he hako ʻo e kakai naʻa nau tamateʻi honau ngaahi ʻofaʻangá mo puke pōpula honau fonuá.

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau lau fakalongolongo ʻa e Molomona 7:1–4, ʻo kumi e ngaahi lea fakaʻosi ʻe niʻihi ʻa Molomona ki he hako ʻo e kau Leimaná.

Ko e hā ha ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻokú ke vakai ai ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa Molomona ki hono ngaahi filí?

Tokoniʻi e kau akó ke mahino kiate kinautolu naʻe akoʻi ʻe Molomona ki he hako ʻo e kau Leimaná ʻa e meʻa naʻe fie maʻu ke nau fai ke nau hao aí. Naʻá ne maʻu ha ʻofa faka-Kalaisi ki he kakai kotoa pē, naʻa mo hono ngaahi filí.

Mahalo te ke fie maʻu ke fakamatalaʻi ko e ngaahi akonaki ʻa Molomoná ko e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni tatau pē ia ʻo e ongoongoleleí naʻa nau mei fakahaofi ʻa e kau Nīfaí mei he fakaʻauhá (vakai, Molomona 3:2).

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e Molomona 7:6–7. Kole ki he kalasí ke nau muimuiʻi lolotonga hono laú, ʻo kumi e meʻa ʻoku foaki ʻe he ʻEikí kiate kinautolu kotoa ʻe tui kiate Iá mo tali ʻEne ongoongoleleí. Hili hono lipooti ʻe he kau akó e meʻa kuo nau maʻú, poupouʻi kinautolu ke hiki e moʻoni ko ʻení hoko ki he Molomona 7:6–7: ʻOku foaki ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e fakamoʻuí ki he kakaí kotoa, pea te Ne huhuʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau tali ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo ʻEne ongoongoleleí.

Hiki e fehuʻi ko ʻení he palakipoé. Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke hiki ʻenau tali ki he fehuʻí ʻi heʻenau pepa akó pe tohinoa ako folofolá.

Fakatatau ki he Molomona 7:7, ko e hā e ngaahi tāpuaki maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻoku nau “taʻehalaia” ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá?

Fakaafeʻi ha kau ako tokosiʻi ke nau vahevahe e meʻa ʻoku nau tohí.

Molomona 8:1–11

Hili e pekia ʻa Molomoná, naʻe nofo toko taha hono foha ko Molonaí ke ne hiki ʻo kau ki he fakaʻauha ʻo hono kakaí

Kole ki he kau akó ke nau fakakaukau ki ha taimi naʻa nau nofo toko taha ai ʻi ha tuʻunga naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi ai ʻenau tuí—mahalo ko ha tuʻunga naʻe faingofua ai ke nau fai ha meʻa hala ʻo ʻikai ke ʻilo ki ai ha taha. Fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau fakakaukau pe naʻe tupulaki, tatau pē, pe holo ʻenau fakapapau ke muimui ʻi he Fakamoʻuí mo tauhi ʻEne ngaahi fekaú lolotonga e taimi ko iá.

Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻe ala fili ai ha kakai ʻe niʻihi ke ʻoua te nau kei faitotonu ʻi heʻenau nofo toko tahá ʻi ha tuʻunga ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi ai ʻenau tuí?
Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻe fili ai ha kakai ʻe niʻihi ke nau kei faitotonu ʻi he tuʻunga tatau pē?

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe tamateʻi ʻa Molomona hili e tau fakaʻosi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e kau Nīfaí mo e kau Leimaná, pea naʻe nofo toko taha hono foha ko Molonaí, ʻikai hano fāmili pe ha taha ʻo hono kakaí. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Molonaí ʻi he Molomona 8:1–9, pea kole ki he kalasí ke nau kumi e ngaahi fakamatala ʻo e ngaahi tūkunga ʻo Molonaí. Kole ange ke nau lipooti e meʻa ʻoku nau maʻú.

ʻOkú ke pehē ʻe fēfē hoʻo ongó kapau naʻá ke ʻi he ngaahi tūkunga ʻo Molonaí?

Tokoni ki he kau akó ʻo ngāue ʻaki e ngaahi ʻaho ʻi lalo ʻi he ngaahi pēsí pe ʻi he ngaahi fakamatala fakanounou ʻo e ngaahi vahé ke nau sio ngalingali naʻe ʻosi e taʻu ʻe 16 ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ngaahi lea ne hiki fakaʻosi ʻe Molomoná mo e taimi naʻe kamata ai ke tohi ʻa Molonai ʻi he ngaahi peletí. Hili ia pea fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau toe sio ki he Molomona 8:1–4 ke ʻilo e meʻa naʻe fakapapau ʻa Molonai ke ne faí, neongo naʻá ne nofo toko taha he fuʻu taimi lōloa. Kole ange ke nau lipooti e meʻa ʻoku nau maʻú. (ʻOku totonu ke nau ʻilo naʻá ne fakapapau ke talangofua ki heʻene tamaí pea tohi ʻi he ngaahi peletí.)

Ko e hā e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻoku lava ke tau ako mei he talangofua ʻa Molonaí neongo e ngaahi tūkunga naʻá ne ʻi aí? (ʻI hono vahevahe ʻe he kau akó ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú, fakamamafaʻi ange ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení: Naʻa mo e taimi ʻoku tau nofo toko taha aí, ʻe lava pē ke tau fili ke kei faitotonu. Mahalo te ke fie maʻu ke fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau hiki e moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau folofolá hoko ki he Molomona 8:1–4.)

Fakamahinoʻi ange naʻe makehe ʻa e misiona ʻo Molonaí. Naʻá ne “toe toko taha pē ke tohi ʻa e talanoa fakamamahi ʻo e fakaʻauha ʻo [hono] kakaí” (Molomona 8:3). Neongo ʻe ʻikai fehangahangai e kau akó mo ha ngaahi tūkunga tatau matematē mo ia, ka mahalo te nau fehangahangai mo ha ngaahi tūkunga te nau toko taha ai pea ʻe fie maʻu ke nau kei faitotonu. Te nau fehangahangai foki mo ha ngaahi tūkunga ʻoku nau ongoʻi tuenoa ai neongo ʻoku nau feohi mo e kakai kehé—hangē ko e ngaahi taimi ʻoku nau feohi ai mo e kakai ʻoku ʻikai ke nau moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻEikí mo ʻEne kau palōfitá.

Ko hai ʻokú ke ʻilo kuó ne kei faitotonu pē neongo naʻá ne toko taha pē ʻi he ngaahi tūkunga ʻo e ʻahiʻahí?

ʻI he ʻomi ʻe he kau akó ʻenau tali ki he fehuʻi ko ʻení, fai ha niʻihi pe ko e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi fehuʻi vakaiʻiko ʻení:

Naʻe tali fēfē ʻe he tokotahá ni e ngaahi tūkunga ko iá?

ʻOku tokoniʻi fēfē nai koe ʻe he ngaahi sīpinga ko ʻení?

(Naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Toluʻi Nīfaí ke nau tauhi ʻa Molomona mo Molonai; vakai foki 3 Nīfai 28:25–26.) Fakamamafaʻi ange kapau ʻoku tau faitotonu ki he ʻOtuá ʻi heʻetau nofo toko tahá pe ʻi ha ngaahi tūkunga faingataʻa, te Ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau kei faitotonu.
