Mōsaia 18:1–16

Ko hono akoʻi ʻe ʻAlamā mo papitaiso ʻo e kakaí

Fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e fakatātā ʻo ʻApinetai ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Tuʻi ko Noá (62042; Tohi Fakatātā ʻo e Ongoongoleleí [2009], fika 75). Fakahinohino ange ʻa e kau taulaʻeiki ʻi mui he fakatātaá. Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku lau ʻa e Mōsaia 18 ki he meʻa ne foua ʻe ʻAlamaá, ʻa ē ne hoko ʻi ha taimi ko e taha ʻo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻa e Tuʻi ko Noá.

Ka hili hono lipooti mai ʻe he kau akó ʻa e meʻa ne nau akó, fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau vakai ki heʻenau ngaahi fakatātā ʻoku hā ai ʻa e vakai fakalūkufua ki he ngaahi fononga ʻi he Mōsaia 7–24.

(Ke maʻu e fakatātā kakató, vakai ki he fakamatala fakalahi ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo e tohi lēsoni ko ʻení.)

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe fakataumuʻa ʻe ʻAlamā ʻene ngaahi akonakí ke teuteu ʻa e kakaí ke papitaiso. Kole ki he kau akó ke nau fakakaukau ʻi ha taimi nounou fekauʻaki mo honau papitaisó. Mahalo te ke fie ʻeke ange ha ngaahi fehuʻi hangē ko ʻení, ke tokoni ke nau fakakaukau ki hono mahuʻinga ʻo honau papitaisó kiate kinautolú:

Fakafiemālieʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku ʻaonga ki ai ʻa e fakafiemālié (vakai, Mōsaia 18:9).

Hoko ko e kau fakamoʻoni ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi kotoa pē, pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē. (Vakai, Mōsaia 18:9 .)

Te Ne lilingi atu Hono Laumālié kiate kinautolu (vakai, Mōsaia 18:10).

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe kimuʻa pea toki fakaafeʻi ʻa e kakaí ke nau papitaisó, naʻe lea ʻa ʻAlamā kiate kinautolu fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi loto pea mo e ngaahi tōʻonga te ne fakahaaʻi kuo nau mateuteu ke fai mo tauhi e fuakava ko ʻeni mo e ʻEikí.

Ko e ʻOtuá ʻokú ne ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e fuakavá, pea ʻoku loto ʻa e tangatá ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku kole ke nau fakahokó. ʻOku toki talaʻofa leva ʻa e ʻOtuá ha ngaahi tāpuaki ki he tangatá koeʻuhí ko ʻenau talangofuá” [Fakahinohino ki he Folofolá, “Fuakavá,” scriptures.lds.org]. Ke maʻu ha fakamatala ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní ki he ngaahi fie maʻu ki he papitaisó, vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 20:37.)

Vaheua mālie ʻa e kalasí. Fakaafeʻi ʻa e vaheua ʻe taha ke nau kumi ʻi he Mōsaia 18:8–11 ʻa e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻAlamā ʻoku totonu ke tau loto fiemālie ke fai ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau papitaiso aí.

Kole ki he kau akó ke nau lau fakalongolongo ʻa e Mōsaia 18:12–16, ʻo kumi e ngaahi founga naʻe tāpuakiʻi ai ʻa ʻAlamā mo hono kakaí ʻi heʻenau fuakava ke tauhi ʻa e ʻEikí. Fakaafeʻi ʻa e kau akó ke nau lipooti atu ʻa e meʻa ne nau maʻú. Te ke lava ʻo fakamahino ange naʻe fakafonu ʻa ʻAlamā ʻaki ʻa e Laumālié ʻi heʻene teuteu ke papitaiso ʻa Heilamí pea naʻe fakafonu ʻa ʻAlamā mo Heilami fakatouʻosi ʻaki ʻa e Laumālié ʻi he ʻosi ʻo e papitaisó, ʻo mahino ai naʻe ʻosi kamata ke fakahoko ʻe he ʻEikí ʻEne fuakava ke lilingi hifo Hono Laumālié ki he kakaí.

Vahevahe hoʻo fakamoʻoni ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí mo e talaʻofa ʻo e moui taʻengatá ʻi heʻetau fakahoko mo tauhi ʻa e fuakava ʻo e papitaisó.

Mōsaia 18:17–30

Ko hono fokotuʻu ʻe ʻAlamā ʻa e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakaí

Lau ange ʻa e fakamatala ko ʻeni naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí:

“Talu mei he ʻaho ʻo e papitaiso mo fou mai he ngaahi makamaile fakalaumālie ʻo ʻetau moʻuí, mo ʻetau fai ha ngaahi palōmesi ki he ʻOtuá pea ʻokú Ne fai foki ha ngaahi palōmesi kiate kitautolu. ʻOkú Ne tauhi maʻu pē ʻEne ngaahi palōmesi kuo fakahoko ʻo fou Heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kuo fakamafaiʻí, ko e sivi mahuʻinga taha ʻo ʻetau mouí ke fakapapauʻi te tau fakahoko mo tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakava mo Iá” (“Witnesses for God,” Ensign, Nov. 1996, 30).

ʻAi e kau akó ke nau sio ki he saati ʻi he palakipoé.
