Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Molonai ʻa e ongo ʻo e nofo toko taha ʻi ha māmani faiangahalá—tautautefito ʻi he hili e mālōlō ʻene tamaí ʻi he taú pea fakaʻauha mo e kau Nīfaí. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou toe toko taha pē. ʻOku ʻikai haku ngaahi kaumeʻa pe potu ke u ʻalu ki ai” (Molomona 8:3, 5). Mahalo naʻe ngali siva e ʻamanakí, ka naʻe maʻu ʻe Molonai ‘a e ʻamanaki lelei ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi pea mo ʻene fakamoʻoni “ʻe teka atu maʻu ai pē ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa taʻengata ʻo e ʻEikí” (Molomona 8:22). Pea naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Molonai ʻe hoko ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko ha konga mahuʻinga ʻo e ngaahi taumuʻa taʻengata ko iá—ʻa e lekooti naʻá ne faivelenga ke fakaʻosí, ʻa e lekooti te ne ʻomi ha kakai tokolahi ʻi ha ʻaho ki he “ʻiloʻi ʻo Kalaisí” (Molomona 8:16; 9:36). Naʻe hoko e tui ʻa Molonai ki he ngaahi talaʻofa ko ʻení ke ne malava ai ʻo fakahaaʻi ki he kau laukonga ʻo e tohí ni ʻi he kahaʻú, “ʻoku ou lea kiate kimoutolu ʻo hangē ʻoku mou ʻi hení” pea “ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi te mou maʻu ʻeku ngaahi leá” (Molomona 8:35; 9:30). Ko ʻeni ʻoku tau maʻu ʻene ngaahi leá, pea ʻoku teka atu ʻa e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí ki muʻa, koeʻuhí he naʻe fai pau ʻa Molomona mo Molonai ki hona misioná, neongo naʻá na nofo ʻiate kinaua pē.
“Tui kia Sīsū Kalaisi” pea “puke maʻu ʻa [ʻEne] ongoongoleleí.”
Hili hono fakanounouʻi ʻe Molomona ʻa e lekooti ʻo hono kakaí, naʻá ne fai ʻene pōpoaki fakaʻosí ʻi he Molomona 7. ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā naʻá ne fili ai ʻa e pōpoaki ko ʻení? Ko e hā ʻene ʻuhinga kiate koe ke “puke maʻu ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻa Kalaisí”? (Molomona 7:8).
Naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻo pehē: “Kapau ʻe foaki atu kiate koe ha taiamoni pe makakoloa pe ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ko e fē ʻa e meʻa te ke filí? Ko hono moʻoní, ko e fē ʻoku mahuʻinga ange kiate koé?” (“Ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná: Naʻe Mei Fēfē Nai Hoʻo Moʻuí Ka Ne ʻIkai Ia?,” Liahona, Nōvema 2017, 61).
Te u lava ʻo tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekaú neongo ʻoku ʻikai tauhi ia ʻe he niʻihi kehé.

Kapau te ke lava ʻo fehuʻi ange kia Molonai pe naʻe founga fēfē ʻene kei faivelengá, ʻokú ke pehē ko e hā ʻene talí?
Naʻe fakahā ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi kia Molonai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻe hokó ʻi he taimi ʻe ʻomi ai ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná (vakai, Molomona 8:34–35), pea naʻe tataki ia ke ne fai ha ngaahi fakatokanga loto-toʻa ki hotau kuongá. ʻI hoʻo lau ʻa e Molomona 8:26–41 mo e 9:1–30, fakalaulauloto ki he founga ʻe kaunga ai ʻene ngaahi leá kiate koé.

Hangē ko ʻení, ko e hā ha ngaahi ongo ʻokú ke maʻu hili hoʻo fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi fehuʻi ʻoku fai ʻe Molonai ʻi he Molomona 9:1–30?
Naʻe fakaʻosi ʻe Molonai ʻa e ngaahi tohi ʻa ʻene tamaí ʻaki ha pōpoaki mālohi maʻá e kakai ʻi hotau kuongá ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai ke nau tui ki he ngaahi maná (vakai, Molomona 8:26; 9:1, 10–11).

Ko e hā ʻoku ou ako fekauʻaki mo e Fakamoʻuí mei he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení?
