Lekooti e Ngaahi Ongo ʻOkú ke Maʻú
Naʻe talaʻofa mai ʻe Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni, “Ko e taimi ʻoku tau fai ai e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻoku ʻi ai leva ʻetau totonu ki he tokoni ʻa e ʻEikí” (“Ke Ako, Ke Fakahoko, Ke Aʻusia,” Liahona, Nōvema 2008, 62). Ka ʻoku ʻikai ke tau maʻu ha totonu ki ha moʻui taʻe ha ʻahiʻahi mo ha ngaahi lavameʻa taʻe hano ngataʻanga. Ke maʻu ha fakamoʻoni ki he meʻá ni, ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau vakai pē ki he ʻAposetolo ko Paulá. Ko ʻene ngāue mei he Fakamoʻuí ke “fakahā hoku huafá ki he kau Senitailé, mo e ngaahi tuʻí, pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻIsilelí” (Ngāue 9:15). ʻOku tau vakai ʻi he vahe 22–28 ʻo e tohi Ngāué, ki hono fakahoko ʻe Paula ʻa e ngāue ko ʻení peá ne fehangahangai ai mo ha fakafepaki lahi—ʻū sēini, tuku pōpula, ngaohikovia fakaesino, tukuvakā, pea aʻu ki hano ʻohofi ʻe ha ngata. Ka ʻoku tau toe vakai foki naʻe “tuʻu ʻo ofi mai kiate ia ʻa e ʻEikí, mo Ne pehē, Paula ke ke fiemālie” (Ngāue 23:11). Ko e ngaahi aʻusia ʻa Paulá ko ha fakamanatu fakalaumālie ia ʻoku haʻu e ui ʻa e ʻEikí ke “fakahā ʻa [ʻEne] ongoongoleleí ʻaki ʻa e leʻo ʻo e fiefiá” fakataha mo e talaʻofa ko ʻení: “Hiki hake homou lotó pea fiefia, he ʻoku ou ʻi homou lotolotongá” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 29:4–5; vakai foki Mātiu 28:19–20).
Ngaahi Fakakaukau ki Hono Ako Fakataautaha ʻo e Folofolá
ʻOku vahevahe loto-toʻa ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ʻenau ngaahi fakamoʻoní.
ʻI he taimi naʻe vahevahe ai ʻe Paula ʻa e ngaahi fakamoʻoni mālohi ne lekooti ʻi he Ngāue 22 mo e 26, naʻe lolotonga tuku pōpula ia ʻe he kau sōtia Lomá. Naʻe maʻu ʻe he kakai naʻá ne lea ki aí ʻa e mālohi ke faituʻutuʻuni ke ne mate. Ka neongo iá, naʻá ne fili ke fakamoʻoni loto-toʻa kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo e meʻa “naʻe hā mai mei he langí” (Ngāue 26:19). Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne ueʻi fakalamālie koe fekauʻaki mo ʻene ngaahi leá? Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi faingamālie ke ke vahevahe ai hoʻo fakamoʻoní. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻoku ʻiloʻi nai ʻe ho ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ʻa e ongo ʻokú ke maʻu fekauʻaki mo Sīsū Kalaisí? Pe, ko e fē nai e taimi fakamuimuitaha naʻá ke talaange ai ki ho fāmilí ʻa e founga naʻá ke maʻu ai hoʻo fakamoʻoni ki he ongoongoleleí?
ʻI he taimi naʻe manukiʻi ai ʻa e talavou ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi heʻene fakamatala fekauʻaki mo ʻene ʻUluaki Mata Meʻa-Hā-Maí, naʻe ueʻi fakalaumālie ia ʻe he founga naʻe fakamoʻoni ai ʻa Paula ki heʻene mata meʻa-hā-maí (vakai Siosefa Sāmita—Hisitōlia 1:24–25).
