Kuo mei ta‘u nai ʻe 22 talu mei hono fakatau atu ʻa Siosefa ki ʻIsipite ʻe hono ngaahi tokouá. Naʻá ne ʻūkuma ha ngaahi faingataʻa lahi, kau ai hono tukuakiʻi loi mo tuku pōpulá. ‘I he taimi ne faifai pea toe mamata ai ʻa Siosefa ki hono ngaahi tokouá, naʻá ne hoko ko e kōvana ki ʻIsipite kotoa, ʻo fika ua pē ki he feló.

Ka naʻe fakamolemoleʻi ʻe Siosefa hono ngaahi tokouá. ‘Ikai ngata aí, ka naʻá ne tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau sio ki he taumuʻa fakalangi ʻo ʻene mamahí. Naʻá ne talaange kiate kinautolu, “naʻe puleʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ke lelei” (Sēnesi 50:20), koeʻuhí naʻe ʻave ai ia ki ha tuʻunga ke fakahaofi ʻa e “kau nofoʻanga kotoa pē ʻo ʻene tamaí” (Sēnesi 47:12) mei he hongé.

Ngaahi Fakakaukau ki Hono Ako Fakataautaha ʻo e Folofolá

Sēnesi 45:1–8; 50:20

“Naʻe fekau au ʻe he ʻOtuá ke muʻomuʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ke fakamoʻui kimoutolu.”

‘I hoʻo laukonga fekauʻaki mo Siosefá, kuó ke fakatokangaʻi ha faʻahinga faitatau ʻi hono talanoá mo e misiona fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí? Te ke ala fifili ki he founga ʻoku faitatau ai e fatongia ʻo Siosefa ʻi hono fāmilí mo e fatongia ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻi he fāmili ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko e hā ha ngaahi faitatau ʻokú ke sio ki ai ʻi he ngaahi aʻusia ʻa Siosefá pea mo e misiona ʻo e Fakamoʻuí, ʻa ia naʻe fekauʻi mai “ke fakahaofi [kitautolu] ʻi he fakamoʻui lahí”? (Sēnesi 45:7).

‘Oku ʻomi ʻe he fakamolemolé ʻa e fakamoʻuí.

ʻE lava ʻe he laukonga fekauʻaki mo hono fakamolemoleʻi ʻe Siosefa hono ngaahi tokouá ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi ne nau fakahoko kiate iá ʻo ueʻi koe ke ke fakakaukau ki ha taha ʻokú ke lolotonga feinga ke fakamolemoleʻi. Pe mahalo ʻoku ʻi ai ha sivi faingataʻa ʻo e fakamolemolé ʻe hoko atu kiate koe ʻi he kahaʻú. Tatau ai pē, ʻe ala tokoni ke fakalaulauloto ki he ʻuhinga naʻe malava ai ʻe Siosefa ke fakamolemoleʻí. Ko e hā ha fanga kiʻi tokoni fekauʻaki mo e ʻulungaanga ʻo Siosefá ʻokú ke maʻu ʻi he Sēnesi 45; 50:15–21? Kuo tākiekina fēfē nai ia ʻe heʻene ngaahi aʻusiá ke ne faʻa fakamolemole lahi angé? Ko e hā ʻoku fokotuʻu mai ʻe he tā sīpinga ʻa Siosefá fekauʻaki mo e founga te ke lava ai ʻo faʻa fakamolemole ange ʻi he tokoni ʻa e Fakamoʻuí?
