Molomona 9:1–6
‘Oku ui ‘a Molonai kiate kinautolu ‘oku ‘ikai te nau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí ke nau fakatomala.
Fakakaukau ki ha meʻa te ke fakakaukau ki ai pe ongoʻi ‘o kapau te ke hū atu ki he ʻao ‘o e ‘Otuá ‘i he ‘ahó ni. ‘Okú ke pehē ko e ha ha faʻahinga ongo ‘e maʻu ‘e he kau fai angahalá ‘i Hono ‘aó? Lau ‘a e Molomona 9:1–5, pea fakatokangaʻi naʻe fakamatalaʻi ‘e Molonai ‘a e meʻa ‘e hoko ‘i he taimi ‘e faifai pea ‘omi ai ‘a e kakai ‘oku nau fili ke ‘oua te nau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí ki he ‘ao ‘o e ‘Otuá.
Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ‘e Palesiteni Siosefa Filitingi Sāmita ‘oku hala ‘a e tui ‘a e kakai tokolahi ‘oku teʻeki ke nau fakatomala mei heʻenau ngaahi angahalá, te nau ongoʻi fiemālie ‘i he ‘ao ‘o e ‘Otuá.
“He ʻikai lava ke fai ha fakamoʻui taʻekau ai e fakatomalá. He ʻikai lava ha tangata ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene ngaahi angahalá. ʻE hoko ia ko ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonu ki ha tangata ke haʻu ki he ʻao ʻo e Tamaí pea nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene ngaahi angahalá. … …
“ʻOku ou tui ʻoku tokolahi ʻaupito ha kakai ʻi he māmaní, pea mahalo ko e tokolahi ʻo kinautolu ʻi he Siasí—ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai e niʻihi pehē ʻi he Siasí—ʻoku nau fakakaukau te nau lava ke faʻiteliha pē he meʻa te nau fai he moʻuí, ʻo maumauʻi e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻEikí ka te nau iku pē ʻo ʻalu ki Hono ʻaó. ʻOku nau fakakaukau te nau lava ke fakatomala, mahalo pē ʻi he tataliʻanga ʻo e ngaahi laumālié.
“ʻOku totonu ke nau lau e ngaahi lea ko ʻeni ʻa Molonaí: ‘ʻOku mou mahalo koā te mou faʻa nofo mo ia [Kalaisi] lolotonga hoʻomou ʻiloʻi ʻa hoʻomou angahalá? ʻOku mou mahalo koā te mou fiefia ke nofo fakataha mo e Tokotaha Māʻoniʻoni ko iá, ka ʻoku lolotonga mamahiʻia homou laumālié ʻi he ʻiloʻi kuo mou maumauʻi maʻu ai pē ʻene ngaahi fonó?’
“‘Vakai, ‘oku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, te mou mamahi lahi ange ke nofo fakataha mo ha ‘Otua māʻoniʻoni mo faitotonu, lolotonga hoʻomou ‘iloʻi hoʻomou ‘ulí ‘I hono ‘aó, ‘i haʻamou nofo fakataha mo e ngaahi laumālie malaʻiá ‘i helí. He vakai, ‘o ka ‘omi ‘a kimoutolu ke mou sio ki hoʻomou telefuá ‘i he ‘ao ‘o e ‘Otuá, pea mo e nāunau foki ‘o e ‘Otuá, mo e māʻoniʻoni ‘a Sīsū Kalaisí, ‘e tutu ai ha ulo ‘o e afi taʻe-faʻamaté ‘iate kimoutolu” [Molomona 9:3–5]” (Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. [1954–56], 2:195–96).

Molomona 9:7–20
‘Oku fakahā ‘e Molonai, ‘oku fakahoko ‘e he ‘Otuá ‘a e ngaahi mana pea ‘okú Ne tali mai ‘a e ngaahi lotu ‘a e kau tui faivelengá.
Kuo ke mamata nai pe kuo hoko kiate koe ha mana? Hiki haʻo fakaʻuhinga ki he foʻi lea ko e mana:

Hangē ko ia kuo tohi ‘i he Molomona 9:7–8, naʻe tohi ‘a Molonai ki he kakai ‘i he ngaahi ‘aho fakaʻosí ‘a ia te nau fakaʻikaiʻi ‘oku moʻui ‘a e ‘Otuá, ‘okú Ne foaki mai ‘a e ngaahi fakahā, pea ‘okú Ne huaʻi hifo ‘a e ngaahi meʻa-foaki ki he kakai ‘oku tui faivelengá. Naʻe akoʻi mālohi ‘e Molonai, ‘oku ‘i ai ha ‘Otua pea ‘okú Ne tatau ‘i he “ʻaneafí, ‘aho ní, pea taʻengata” (Molomona 9:9). Pea ‘okú Ne kei fakahoko ha ngaahi mana ‘i he kakai ‘oku tui faivelenga ‘i he ngaahi kuonga kotoa pē. Lau ‘a e Molomona 9:9–11, 15–19, pea kumi ki he meʻa naʻe akoʻi ‘e Molonai ‘o kau ki he anga ‘o e ‘Otuá koeʻuhi ke ne lava ‘o tokoniʻi ‘a e kakaí ke nau tui ‘oku kei fakahoko pē ‘e he ʻOtuá ‘a e ngaahi mana.

Lau ‘a e Molomona 9:20, pea kumi ki he ngaahi ‘uhinga ‘oku ‘ikai hoko ai ha ngaahi mana ki ha kakai ‘e niʻihi.
‘Oku akoʻi mai ‘e he ngaahi lea ‘a Molonai ‘oku tohi ‘i he Molomona 9:9–19 ‘a e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ‘ení: Koeʻuhi ‘oku ‘ikai ke feliliuʻaki ‘a e ‘Otuá, te Ne tuku ke hoko ‘a e ngaahi maná ‘o fakatatau ki he tui ‘a ‘Ene fānaú. Te ke lava ‘o hiki ‘a e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ‘ení ‘i hoʻo folofolá ‘i he tafaʻaki ‘o e Molomona 9:19–20.
‘Oku tau lava ‘o aʻusia ‘a e malohi fakaofo ‘o e ‘Otuá ‘i heʻetau moʻuí ‘i ha ngaahi founga lahi. Hili haʻane vakaiʻi ‘o e ngaahi mana maʻongoʻonga ‘oku fakamatalaʻi ‘i he folofolá, naʻe akoʻi ‘e Sisitā Sitinī S. Lainolo, ‘a ia naʻe kau ki he kau palesitenisī lahi ‘o e Palaimelí, ‘o pehē:

Molomona 9:21–37
‘Oku akonaki ‘a Molonai ‘o kau ki he lotú mo e taumuʻa ‘o e lekooti Nīfaí.
‘Okú ke lava ‘o manatu ki ha taimi ‘a ia naʻá ke ongoʻi ai hono fai atu ‘e he Tamai Hēvaní ‘a e tokoni naʻá ke fie maʻú koeʻuhí ko haʻo lotu? Lau ‘a e Molomona 9:21, pea kumi ki he meʻa naʻe akoʻi ‘e Molonai ‘o kau ki he lotu ki he Tamai Hēvaní ke Ne tokoni maí.
Lau ‘a e fakamatala ko ‘ení pea kumi ki hono ‘uhinga ‘o e lotu ‘i he huafa ‘o Kalaisí: “ʻOku tau lotu ‘i he huafa ‘o Kalaisí ‘i he taimi ‘oku hoko ai ‘etau fakakaukaú ko e fakakaukau ‘a Kalaisí, pea ko e ngaahi meʻa ‘oku tau fakaʻamu ki aí ko e ngaahi meʻa ‘oku finangalo ki ai ‘a Kalaisí—pea ko e taimi ia ‘oku nofo ai ‘ene ngaahi leá ‘iate kitautolú (Sione 15:7). ‘Oku tau kole leva ‘a e ngaahi meʻa ‘oku lava ke foaki mai ‘e he ‘Otuá. ‘Oku lahi ha ngaahi lotu ‘oku ‘ikai tali mai koeʻuhí he naʻe ‘ikai fai ia ‘i he huafa ‘o Kalaisí; pea ‘oku ‘ikai te nau fakafofongaʻi ‘Ene fakakaukaú, ka ‘oku tupu ia mei he loto siokita ‘o e tangatá;” (Bible Dictionary, “Prayer”).
Fakakaukau ki hoʻo ngaahi lotu ‘aʻaú ‘o fakatatau ki he meʻa kuó ke toki laú. Ko e hā nai ha meʻa te ke lava ‘o fai koeʻuhi ke ke lotu fakamātoato ange ai ‘i he huafa ‘o Sīsū Kalaisí?
Naʻe ngāue ʻaki ‘e Molonai ‘a e akonaki naʻe fai ‘e Sīsū Kalaisi ki Heʻene kau ākonga Nīfaí, ke hoko ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ‘o e kakai ‘oku nau tui ki he Fakamoʻuí pea nau lava ‘o fakahoko ha ngaahi maná. Hangē ko ia kuo hiki ‘i he Molomona 9:22–25, naʻe fekau ‘e he Fakamoʻuí ki Heʻene kau ākongá ke nau ‘alu ki he māmaní kotoa pē ‘o malanga ‘aki ‘a e ongoongoleleí, peá Ne talaʻofa kiate kinautolu ko e “ngaahi fakaʻilonga ‘eni ‘e hoko kiate kinautolu ‘oku tuí” (Molomona 9:24). Naʻe hoko atu leva ‘e Molonai ‘ene ngaahi akonaki ‘o kau ki he lotú.

Te ke lava ‘o hiki ‘a e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ‘ení ‘i he tafaʻaki ‘o e Molomona 9:27: Kapau te tau lotu ‘i he tui ki he Tamai Hēvaní ‘i he huafa ‘o Sīsū Kalaisí, te Ne foaki mai ha ngaahi tāpuaki kiate kitautolu ‘a ia te nau tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau ngāueʻi hotau fakamoʻuí.
Na”e fakahā ‘e Molonai ‘i heʻene fakaʻosi ‘ene ngaahi leá, ‘a ‘ene tokanga ki ha kakai ‘e niʻihi ‘i he ngaahi ‘aho fakaʻosí ‘a ia te nau fakafisi ke tali ‘a e Tohi ʻa Molomoná koeʻuhi ko e fehalaaki ‘a kinautolu naʻa nau tohi iá (vakai ki he Molomona 9:30–34). Lau ‘a e Molomona 9:35–37, pea kumi ki he meʻa naʻe fakahā mai ‘e Molonai ‘o kau ki he ngaahi taumuʻa ‘o e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.
Fakakaukau ki he founga ‘oku hoko ai hono ‘omi ‘o e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko ha fakamoʻoni ko e ‘Otuá ko e ‘Otua Ia ‘o e ngaahi mana pea ‘okú Ne tali mai ‘a e ngaahi lotú.
