1 Nīfai 18:8–25
Naʻe taki ‘e Leimana mo Lēmiuela ha angatuʻu ‘i he vaká naʻe taʻofi ai ‘a e folau ki he fonua ‘o e talaʻofá.
Ko e meʻa maheni pē ‘i heʻetau fepaki mo e ngaahi ‘ahiʻahí mo e faingataʻa ‘i he moʻuí, ke tau fifili ki hono ‘uhinga ‘oku tau fehangahangai ai mo e ngaahi faingataʻa peheé. Mahalo kuo fai ʻe koe pe ko ha taha kehe ʻa e fehuʻi “Ko e hā hono ‘uhingá?” lolotonga ha taimi faingataʻa.
Naʻe fakahā mai ‘e ‘Eletā L. Uitenī Keleitoni ‘o e Kau Palesitenisī ‘o e Kau Fitungofulú ha tupuʻanga ’e tolu ‘o e ngaahi faingataʻa ‘oku tau fepaki mo iá. Laineʻi ‘a e ngaahi tupuʻanga naʻá ne fakamatalaʻí ‘i hoʻo lau ‘ene fakamatalá.
“Ko hono fakalūkufuá, ʻoku haʻu ʻetau ngaahi kavengá mei ha tupuʻanga ʻe tolu. ‘Oku ‘i ai ‘a e ngaahi kavenga ko e ola fakanatula pē ia ʻo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e māmani ʻoku tau ʻi aí. ‘Oku faʻa hoko mai ‘a e mahamahakí, faingataʻaʻia fakaesinó, afaá mo e mofuiké ‘o ʻikai ke tau mapuleʻi. …
“ʻOku ‘i ai ha ngaahi kavenga ‘oku hoko mai ia kiate kitautolu ko e ngāue kovi ʻa ha niʻihi kehe. ‘E lava ‘e he ngaohikoviá mo e maʻunimaá ‘o ʻai ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ʻa ‘apí ko ha hēvani ‘i māmani ki he kau mēmipa taʻehalaia ‘i hotau fāmilí. ‘Oku hanga ‘e he angahalá, ngaahi tukufakaholo taʻetotonú, pule fakamālohí mo e faihiá ʻo fakamamahiʻi ha niʻihi tokolahi ʻi he fononga ʻo e moʻuí. ‘Oku aʻu ki he fanga kiʻi faihala īkí, hangē ko e ngutu laú mo e taʻeʻofá, ʻa ʻenau fakatupu ha faingataʻaʻia lahi.
“ʻOku ʻomi ʻe heʻetau ngaahi fehālaakí mo e tōnounoú ha lahi ʻo ʻetau ngaahi palopalemá pea lava ke ne hilifaki ki hotau umá ha ngaahi kavenga mamafa. Ko e kavenga mamafa taha ʻoku tau ʻai kiate kitautolú ko e mafasia ʻo e angahalá. Kuo tau ʻilo kotoa ʻa e ongoʻi tautea mo e mamahi kuo pau ke hoko mai ʻi he ʻikai ke tau tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekaú” (“Ke Maʻamaʻa Hoʻomou Kavengá,” Ensign pe Liahona, Nōvema 2009, 12–13).
Naʻe hoko ha ngaahi faingataʻa lahi kia Nīfai mo hono fāmilí hili ‘a e kamata ‘enau folaú. ‘I hoʻo ako ‘a e 1 Nīfai 18, kumi ki ha taha ‘o e ngaahi faʻahinga faingataʻa naʻe fakamatala ki ai ‘a ‘Eletā Keleitoní. Lau ‘a e 1 Nīfai 18:9–11, pea feinga ke ‘iloʻi ha ngaahi sīpinga ‘o e ngaahi fili hala naʻe fai ‘e he niʻihi ‘o e kakai ‘i he vaká.
Neongo ‘oku ‘ikai kovi ‘a e hulohulá, fanongo ki he mūsiká, pe fakafiefiá, ka ‘oku fakahā mai ‘e he 1 Nīfai 18:9 naʻa nau fai ‘eni ‘i he “anga taʻe-fakaʻapaʻapa lahi.” Ko hono ‘uhinga ‘o e foʻi lea anga taʻe-fakaʻapaʻapá ko e anga-makaka, anga-fakatuʻa, pe ‘ulungaaanga pango. ‘Oku lava ‘e Sētane ‘o ngāue ʻaki ‘a e hulohulá, mūsiká, pe ko e anga ‘o ‘etau leá ke ʻuliʻi hotau lotó mo e ‘atamaí, pea fakatupu ke mole meiate kitautolu ‘a e takaua ‘a e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.
Fakatatau ki he 1 Nīfai 18:10, ko e hā ‘a e meʻa naʻe manavahē ki ai ‘a Nīfai ‘o kapau he ‘ikai fakatomala ‘a kinautolu naʻa nau angatuʻú? .
Ko e hā ha meʻa naʻe fai ‘e Nīfai ‘o fekauʻaki mo iá? Ko e hā haʻo tali kapau ‘e kole atu hoʻo mātuʻá pe taki ‘i he Siasí ke liliu ‘a e faʻahinga mūsika ‘okú ke fanongo ki aí, anga hoʻo hulohulá, pe taʻofi hoʻo ngāue ʻaki ‘a e lea ‘ulí? Te ke fie fanongo ki ai pea liliu?
Lau ‘a e 1 Nīfai 18:12–14, 17–19, pea kumi ki he ngaahi nunuʻa ‘o ‘enau angatuʻú. Naʻe anga fēfē ha faingataʻaʻia ‘a Nīfai mo e kau mēmipa kehe ‘o e fāmilí koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi ngāue ‘a ha niʻihi kehe? Fakatokangaʻi ‘a e founga naʻe taʻofi ai ‘e he ngaahi angatuʻu ‘a ha niʻihi ‘a e malava ‘e he kulupú kotoa ‘o maʻu ha fakahinohino mei he ‘Otuá.
‘Oku fakahaaʻi mai kiate kitautolu ‘e he ngaahi ngāue ‘a kinautolu ‘oku angatuʻú, ‘oku fakatupu ‘e he angahalá ‘a ‘etau faingataʻaʻia ‘atautolu pē mo e niʻihi kehe foki ‘i ha taimi ‘e niʻihi.

‘Oku kau ‘i he ngaahi ‘ahiʻahi angamaheni ‘oku fehangahangai mo e toʻu tupu ‘o e ‘aho ní, ko e anga taʻe-fakaʻapaʻapa ki he mātuʻá mo e kau takí, kākā ‘i he akó, ngutu laú, tui ‘o e vala taʻefeʻungá, maumauʻi ‘a e fono ‘o e angamaʻá, maumauʻi ‘o e Lea ‘o e Potó (tapaká, ‘olokaholó, mo e faitoʻo konatapú) mo e sio ‘i he ponokalafí.

‘Oku ʻi ai ha ngaahi tokāteline mo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ‘oku fakatātaaʻi mai ‘i he ngaahi veesi ko ‘ení. Hiki ‘a e fika ‘o e veesi pe ngaahi veesi mei he 1 Nīfai 18:15–16, 20–23 ‘i mui ‘i he ngaahi fakamatala taki taha ko ‘ení, ‘a ia ‘okú ke ongoʻi ‘okú ne fakahaaʻi ha sīpinga ‘o e moʻoni ko iá:

Te tau lava ‘o hanga hake ki he ‘Otuá pea kei faivelenga lolotonga ‘etau fepaki mo hotau ngaahi ʻahiʻahí.

ʻE lava e lotú ‘o tokoni ke tau maʻu ha nonga lolotonga hotau ngaahi ʻahiʻahí.

Naʻe faifai pea aʻu atu ‘a Nīfai mo hono fāmilí ki he fonua ‘o e talaʻofá, neongo ‘a e ngaahi faingataʻa naʻa nau fepaki mo iá. ʻI hoʻo fekumi ki he fakahinohino ‘a e ‘Eikí pea ngāue faivelenga ke muimui ki aí, te ke lava foki mo koe ‘o fakakakato lelei ‘a e fononga naʻe fekauʻi mai ai koe ‘e he ʻEikí ke ke haʻu ki māmani ‘o fakahokó.
Naʻe fai mai ‘e ‘Eletā L. Uitenī Keleitoni ‘a e fakamoʻoni ko ‘ení:
“Neongo pe ko e hā ‘a e ngaahi kavenga ‘oku tau fehangahangai mo ia ‘i he moʻuí tupu mei he ngaahi tūkunga ʻo natulá, faihala ʻa e niʻihi kehé, pe ko ʻetau ngaahi fehalākí pe tōnounoú, ka ko e fānau kotoa pē kitautolu ʻa ha Tamai Hēvani ‘ofa, naʻá Ne ʻomi kitautolu ki māmani ko e konga ʻo ʻEne palani taʻengata ki heʻetau tupulakí mo e fakalakalaká. ‘E lava ke tokoni ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau aʻusia fakafoʻituituí ʻi hono teuteuʻi kitautolu ke toe foki hake kiate Ia.
