‘Oku maʻu ‘e Līhai ha meʻa-hā-mai peá ne fakatokanga ki he kakaí ‘e fakaʻauha ‘a Selusalema.
Fakakaukau angé ki ha taimi naʻe fakatokanga atu ai hoʻo ongomātuʻá pe kau taki ‘o e Siasí ‘o kau ki ha meʻa fakatuʻutāmaki. Ko e hā nai ‘enau taumuʻa ki heʻenau fakatokanga atu kiate koé?

Naʻe kamata ʻaki ‘e Nīfai ‘a ‘ene lekōtí haʻane fakahā mai kiate kitautolu naʻe tokolahi ha kau palōfita naʻa nau malanga mo fakatokanga ki he kakaí ʻo kau ki he meʻa ‘e hoko kapau he ‘ikai ke nau fakatomala (vakai, 1 Nīfai 1:4). Lau ‘a e 1 Nīfai 1:5–7, pea fakaʻilongaʻi ‘i hoʻo folofolá ‘a e founga ‘o e lotu ‘a Līhaí mo e meʻa naʻá ne lotuá. ‘Oku hā mei he lotu ‘a Līhai ki he ‘Eikí naʻá ne tui ki he meʻa naʻe malanga ‘aki ‘e he kau palōfitá.

Lau ‘a e 1 Nīfai 1:11–12, pea fakatokangaʻi e meʻa naʻe hoko kia Līhai ‘i heʻene lau ‘a e tohi naʻe ʻoange kiate iá. Naʻe teuteuʻi lahi ange ‘e he ‘Eikí ‘a Līhai ‘i he meʻa-hā-mai ko ‘ení ke ne ngāue ‘i he lotolotonga ‘o e kakai ‘o Selusalemá. Lau ‘a e 1 Nīfai 1:13, pea fakatokangaʻi ‘a e meʻa naʻe akoʻi kia Līhai ‘o kau ki Selusalemá. Fokotuʻu koe ‘i he tuʻunga ‘o Līhaí ‘i hoʻo lau ‘a e vēsí peá ke fakakaukau pe ko e hā haʻo ongoʻi kapau ‘e fakahā atu ‘e he ‘Eikí ‘e hoko ‘a e ngaahi meʻa ko ‘ení ki ho ‘apí mo ho koló.
‘Oku pau pē naʻe faingataʻaʻia ʻa Līhai hono fakatokanga mai kau- ki hono fakaʻauha ‘o hono kakaí mo e koló. Neongo iá, lau ‘a e 1 Nīfai 1:14–15, pea feinga ke ke ‘iloʻi ‘a e ‘uhinga naʻe fiefia ai ‘a Līhaí, neongo ‘ene mamata ‘e fakaʻauha ‘a Selusalemá.

Hili e fakatokanga kia Līhai ‘e fakaʻauha ‘a Selusalemá, naʻá ne vahevahe ki he kakaí ‘a e meʻa kuó ne ‘iloʻí. Naʻá ne fakatokanga ‘e fakaʻauha kinautolu kapau he ‘ikai ke nau fakatomala. Lau ‘a e 1 Nīfai 1:18–20, pea feinga ke iloʻi pe naʻe anga fēfē hono tali ia ‘e he kakai ‘o Selusalemá. Fakakaukau ko ha ‘ētita koe ki ha nusipepa pea ‘okú ke fie maʻu ke ke faʻu ha fakamatala ki he nusipepá ‘o kau ki he 1 Nīfai 1:18–20. Ko e hā haʻo ‘uluʻitohi ki hoʻo fakamatala ko iá?
Fakalaulauloto ki he fakamatala ko ‘ení:
“ʻOku fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he kau palōfita ʻo e ʻaho ní ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi mo akoʻi ʻEne ongoongoleleí ʻo hangē ko e kau palōfita ʻo e kuonga muʻá. ʻOku nau fakaʻilo mai ʻa e finangalo mo e ʻulungaanga totonu ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku nau lea fakahangatonu mo mahino, ʻo fakahalaki ʻa e fai angahala mo fakatokanga ki hono ngaahi nunuʻá. ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ʻe ueʻi fakalaumālie ai kinautolu ke nau kikiteʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko ‘i he kahaʻú ke ʻaonga kiate kitautolu” (Tuʻu Maʻu ʻi he Tuí: Ko ha Huluhulu ki he Ongoongoleleí [2004], 85).

‘I he tohi ‘e Nīfai ʻo kau ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko ki heʻene tamaí ‘i Selusalemá, naʻá ne tānaki ai ‘i he 1 Nīfai 1:20 ha pōpoaki ki he tokotaha te ne lau ‘ene fakamatalá, ‘o ne kamata ‘aki ‘a e fakalea ko ‘ení “Kae vakai, ko au Nīfai, te u fakahā kiate kimoutolu … “Naʻe fokotuʻu mai ‘i he veesi ko ‘ení ha kaveinga naʻe toutou fakamamafaʻi ‘e Nīfai ‘i heʻene tohí. Laineʻi ‘a e kaveingá ‘i he 1 Nīfai 1:20, hili ia peá ke lau ‘a e Molonai 10:3 ‘o kumi ai ha kaveinga tatau. (Ko Molonai ‘a e palōfita fakamuimui taha ‘i he kau palōfita ‘o e Tohi ‘a Molomoná. Ko e taimi ‘i he vahaʻa ‘o Nīfai mo Molonaí ko e taʻu nai ‘e 1,000.)
Fakatokangaʻi ange, naʻe pehē ‘e Nīfai ‘i he vahe ‘uluaki ‘o e Tohi ‘a Molomoná te ne fakahā mai kiate kitautolu ‘i heʻene ngaahi tohí ‘a e “ngaahi ‘aloʻofa ongongofua [‘a e ‘Eikí”] (1 Nīfai 1:20). Naʻe fakahā mai ‘e Molonai ‘i he vahe fakaʻosi ‘o e Tohi ‘a Molomoná ke tau manatuʻi “hono lahi ‘o e ‘aloʻofa ‘a e ‘Eikí” (Molonai 10:3).
Naʻe loto ‘a Nīfai ke mahino kiate kitautolu mei he kamataʻanga pē ‘o ‘ene lekōtí, ‘oku foaki mai ‘a e ngaahi ‘aloʻofa ongongofua ‘a e ‘Eikí kiate kinautolu ‘oku nau ngāue ʻaki ‘enau tui kiate Iá. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ‘e ‘Eletā Tēvita A. Petinā ‘o e Kōlomu ‘o e Kau ‘Aposetolo ‘e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ‘a e ngaahi ‘aloʻofa ongongofua ‘a e ‘Eikí ‘i heʻetau moʻuí. Siakaleʻi ‘a e ngaahi foʻi lea mo e ngaahi kupuʻi lea naʻe ngāue ʻaki ‘e ‘Eletā Petinā ke fakamatalaʻi ‘aki ‘a e “ngaahi ‘aloʻofa ongongofua ‘a e ‘Eikí” ‘i hoʻo lau ‘ene fakamatalá:
“Ko e ngaahi tokoni ‘aloʻofa ‘a e ‘Eikí ‘a e ngaahi tāpuaki, ivi, maluʻi, fakamahino, fakahinohino, ‘aloʻofa, fakafiemālie, poupou pea mo e ngaahi foaki fakalaumālie fakafoʻituitui ‘oku tau maʻú pea tuʻunga mo fakafou ‘i he ‘Eiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí. …
“… Ko e ngaahi tokoni ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ʻoku ʻikai hoko noa pe tupukoso pē. ‘Oku fakaafeʻi ‘e he angatonú, talangofuá, mo e loto fakatōkilaló ‘a e ngaahi tokoni ‘aloʻofá ki heʻetau moʻuí, pea ko e taimi ʻoku fakahoko ai ia ʻe he ʻEikí, ʻoku tau malava leva ke fakatokangaʻi mo fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki mahuʻingá ni” (ʻi he “Tender Mercies of the Lord,” Ensign pe Liahona, Mē 2005, 99–100).
