ʻAlamā 17:1–18
‘Oku teuteu ‘a e ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá ke malanga ‘aki ‘a e ongoongoleleí ki he kau Leimaná.
Fakakaukau ki hono fuoloa ‘o e ngāue fakafaifekau he ‘ahó ni ‘a e kau ‘eletaá mo e kau sisitaá. Lau ‘a e ʻAlamā 17:4, pea laineʻi hono lahi ‘o e ngaahi taʻu naʻe akoʻi ai ‘e he ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá ‘a e ongoongoleleí ‘i he kau Leimaná.
Naʻe fetaulaki ‘a ‘Alamā ‘i heʻene fononga atu ki Manataí mo e ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá ‘i heʻenau foki mai mei heʻenau ngāue fakafaifekau fuoloá, pea nau fiefia fakataha ai. Lau ‘a e ʻAlamā 17:2–4, pea fakaʻilongaʻi ‘a e ngaahi foʻi lea mo e ngaahi kupuʻi lea ‘oku nau fakamatalaʻi pe ko e kau faifekau naʻe anga-fēfe ‘a e ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá.

Hiki ‘a e ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai ‘e he ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá ke nau teuteu ai ke nau hoko ko ha kau faifekau leleí, pea fakamatalaʻi ‘a e ngaahi ola ‘o ‘enau teuteú.

Fakalaulauloto ki hono tuʻo lahi ‘o hoʻo lotu mo fakatotolo fakataautaha pe fakataha mo ho fāmilí ‘i he folofolá, pea fakakaukau ki he ngaahi faingamālie ‘okú ke maʻu ke ke ‘aukai aí. Ko e hā ha ngaahi founga kuo tokoniʻi ai koe ‘e he ngaahi meʻa ko ‘ení ke ke “mālohi ‘i he ‘iloʻi ‘o e moʻoní” (ʻAlamā 17:2)?
‘Oku tau ako ‘a e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ‘ení mei he sīpinga ‘a e ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá: Te tau lava ‘o maʻu ‘a e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní pea tau faiako ‘i he mālohi ‘i heʻetau fakatotolo ‘i he folofolá, lotu, mo ‘aukaí. Te tau lava ‘o teuteu lelei ange ke tau fakahā ‘a e ongoongoleleí ki he kakai kehé ‘i heʻetau maʻu ‘a e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.
Lau ‘a e fakamatala ko ‘eni naʻe fai ‘e ‘Eletā Tēvita A. Petinā ‘o e Kōlomu ‘o e Kau ‘Aposetolo ‘e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ‘a ia naʻá ne akoʻi ai ki he toʻu tupú ‘a e ngaahi founga te nau lava ai ‘o teuteu ke nau hoko ko ha kau faifekaú. Kumi ki ha ngaahi founga pau te ke lava ai ‘o teuteuʻi koe ke ke fakahā ‘a e ongoongoleleí ‘o hangē ko ia naʻe fai ‘e he ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá.
“Te mou lava ‘o tupulaki ‘i hoʻomou holi ke ngāue maʻá e ‘Otuá (vakai, T&F 4:3), pea ‘e lava ke mou kamata fakakaukau ‘o hangē ko e fakakaukau ‘a e kau faifekaú, ke lau ‘a e meʻa ‘oku lau ‘e he kau faifekaú, ke lotu ‘o hangē ko e lotu ‘a e kau faifekaú, pea ongoʻi ‘a e meʻa ‘oku ongoʻi ‘e he kau faifekaú. Te mou lava ‘o fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi mālohi fakamāmani ko ia ‘okú ne fakatupu ‘a e mavahe ‘a e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, pea te mou lava ‘o tupulaki ‘i hoʻomou falala te mou ‘iloʻi mo tali ‘a e ngaahi ueʻi fakalaumālié. Te mou lava ‘o tupulaki māmālie ke mou hoko ko e faifekau ‘oku mou ‘amanaki ki aí mo e faifekau ʻoku finangalo ki ai ‘a e Fakamoʻuí, ‘i haʻamou ako ‘a e ‘otu lea ki he ‘otu lea, ʻa e akonaki ki he akonaki, ko e siʻi ʻi heni pea siʻi ʻi hena.
“Ko e malanga ʻaki ‘o e ongoongoleleí … ‘oku ʻikai ko ha ‘ekitivitī pē ‘oku tau kau ki ai ʻi ha taimi fakangatangata pe ko ha ngāue kuo vahe mai ke tau fakahoko ʻi heʻetau hoko ko e kāingalotu ‘o e Siasi ‘o Sīsū Kalaisi ‘o e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ‘i he Ngaahi ‘Aho Kimui Ní. Ka ko e ngāue fakafaifekaú ko hano fakahā ia ‘o hotau tuʻunga mo hotau tofiʻa fakalaumālié” (“Becoming a Missionary,” Ensign pe Liahona, Nōv. 2005, 46–47).
Lau ‘a e ʻAlamā 17:9, pea laineʻi ‘a e meʻa naʻe lotua ‘e he ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá ‘i heʻenau teuteu ke ngāué. Lau ‘a e ʻAlamā 17:11, pea fakakaukau ki he meʻa naʻe fakahā ‘e he ‘Eikí kiate kinautolú mo e founga te nau hoko ai ko ha meʻangāue ‘i he toʻukupu ʻo e ‘Eikí. ʻOku akoʻi mai ‘e he ngaahi veesi ko ‘ení ‘a e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ‘ení: ʻOku lava ‘e he ‘Eikí ‘o ngaohi kitautolu ke tau hoko ko ha meʻangāue ‘i Hono toukupú ‘i heʻetau hoko ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga leleí, kae tautautefito ki he taimi ‘oku tau faingataʻaʻia aí.

‘Oku faingataʻa ange ke te hoko ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ‘i he ngaahi meʻa ‘e niʻihi mei he ngaahi meʻa ʻe niʻihi. Vakai ki he anga ‘o hono fakamatalaʻi ‘o e kau Leimaná ‘i he ʻAlamā 17:12–16, pea fakakaukau ki he ‘uhinga ‘e faingataʻaʻia lahi ai ‘a e ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá ke nau malanga ‘i he ngaahi tuʻunga ko ‘ení.
‘Okú ke pehē ko e hā ‘a e ‘uhinga naʻe loto ai ‘a e ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá ke nau fepaki mo e ngaahi faingataʻá koeʻuhí ke nau lava ‘o tokoniʻi ha kakai naʻa nau fehiʻa ‘i he kakai Nīfaí? Fakafonu a e lainé ‘aki ha foʻi lea mei he ʻAlamā 17:16 ke tokoni ke mahino kiate koe ‘a e meʻa naʻe ‘amanaki ‘a e ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá ke fakahokó: Naʻe loto ‘a e ngaahi foha ‘o Mōsaiá ke ‘omi ‘a e kau Leimaná ki he , koeʻuhí he naʻa nau loto ke ‘iloʻi ‘e he kau Leimaná ‘a e palani ‘o e huhuʻí.

ʻAlamā 18
Naʻe ongo ki he Tuʻi ko Lamōnaí ʻa e faivelenga ‘a ‘Āmoní, pea akoʻi ‘e ‘Āmoni ‘a e ongoongoleleí ki he tuʻí.
Naʻe fakahā ‘e he kau tamaioʻeikí ki he Tuʻi ko Lamōnaí ‘a e meʻa kuo fai ‘e ‘Āmoni ke maluʻi ‘a e ngaahi tākanga monumanu ‘a e tuʻí. Lau ‘a e ʻAlamā 18:4–6, pea kumi ki he anga hono tali ‘e he tuʻí ‘a e meʻa naʻe fai ‘e ‘Āmoní.
‘I he fehuʻi ‘e he tuʻí ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeikí pe ‘oku ‘i fē ‘a ‘Āmoní, naʻa nau fakahā ange kiate ia ‘oku lolotonga fakahoko ‘e ‘Āmoni ha fekau kimuʻa ‘e taha ‘a e tuʻí ke teuteuʻi ‘ene fanga hōsí ki haʻane fononga ki he fonua ‘o Nīfaí ‘a ia ‘oku ‘i ai ‘a e tamai ‘a e tuʻí. Lau ‘a e ʻAlamā 18:12–15, pea kumi ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko ki he tuʻí tuʻunga ‘i he anga ‘o e fai fatongia ‘a ‘Āmoní.

Naʻe tui ‘a Lamōnai ki ha ‘otua—‘a ia naʻá ne ui ko e Laumālie Lahí—ka naʻe ‘ikai mahino kiate ia ‘a e anga totonu ‘o e Otuá.
