ʻE lava ke tokoni atu e ngaahi fakamatala ʻi he ʻAlamā 53–63 ke ke vakai ki he ola ʻo hono moʻui ʻaki e ngaahi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí pe nunuʻa ʻo hono fakasītuʻaʻi iá. ʻI hoʻo lau e ʻAlamā 53–63, lekooti e ngaahi ongo ʻokú ke maʻú pea fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi founga te ke lava ai ʻo moʻui ʻaki e ngaahi moʻoni ʻokú ke akó.

Lekooti e Ngaahi Ongo ʻOkú ke Maʻú

ʻI hono fakafehoanaki mo e kau tau Leimaná, naʻe ʻikai ha faingamālie ke ikuna ʻa e “kiʻi kau tau” Nīfai kei talavou ʻa Hilamani ( ʻAlamā 56:33) ʻe toko 2,000. Makehe mei heʻenau tokosiʻí, ko e kau sōtia ʻa Hilamaní “naʻa nau kei iiki kotoa pē,” pea “kuo teʻeki ai ke nau tau” ( ʻAlamā 56:46–47). ‘I ha ngaahi founga ʻe niʻihi, ʻe ngali angamaheni honau tūkungá kiate kitautolu ʻoku tau faʻa ongoʻi ʻoku tau tokosiʻi pea lōmekina ʻi heʻetau tau ʻi he ʻaho kimui ní mo Sētane pea mo e mālohi ʻo e koví ʻi he māmaní.

Ka naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi lelei ne maʻu ʻe he kau tau ʻa Hilamaní ʻi he kau Leimaná ne ʻikai haʻane kaunga ki he tokolahí pe taukei fakakautaú. Naʻa nau fili ʻa Hilamani ko ha palōfita, ke ne tataki kinautolu ( ʻAlamā 53:19); “kuo akonekina ʻa kinautolu ʻe heʻenau ngaahi faʻeé, kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau taʻetui, ʻe fakahaofi ʻa kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá” ( ʻAlamā 56:47); pea naʻa nau maʻu ha “fuʻu tui lahi ʻa ia kuo akonekina ai ʻa kinautolú.” Ko hono olá ko hono maluʻi kinautolu ʻe he “māfimafi fakaofo [ʻo e ʻOtuá]” ( ʻAlamā 57:26). Neongo naʻa nau kafo kotoa ʻi he taú, ka “naʻe ʻikai hanau toko taha ʻe mate” ( ʻAlamā 57:25). Ko ia ai, ʻi he taimi ʻoku ʻomi ai ʻe he moʻuí ha ngaahi kafo fakalaumālie kiate kitautolu takitahá, te tau lava ʻo loto-toʻa—ko e pōpoaki ʻa e kau tau ʻa Hilamaní “ʻoku ʻi ai ha ʻOtua angatonu, pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai ke taʻetuí, ʻe fakahaofi ʻa kinautolu ʻi hono māfimafi fakaofó” ( ʻAlamā 57:26).

ʻAlamā 53:10–22; 56:43–48, 55–56; 57:20–27; 58:39–40

ʻI heʻeku ngāue ʻaki e tui ki he ʻOtuá, te Ne tāpuekina ʻaki au Hono māfimafi fakaofó.

Mahalo ‘e faingataʻa ke tau ongoʻi e ngaahi talanoa fakaofo ʻo e ikuna ʻa e kau tau kei talavou ʻa Hilamaní koeʻuhi he ʻoku ngalingali he ʻikai hoko ia.
