Ko Ha Faiako Koe ʻo e Fānaú

Kuo uiuiʻi koe ʻe he ʻOtuá ke ke akoʻi ʻEne fānaú ʻi he founga ʻa e Fakamoʻuí. Naʻe vaheʻi koe ki he uiuiʻi ko ʻení ʻaki e mafai ʻo Hono lakanga fakataulaʻeiki māʻoniʻoní. Neongo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ko ha tokotaha taukei faiako koe, ka ʻi hoʻo moʻui tāú, lotu fakaʻahó, mo ako e folofolá, ʻe foaki atu ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate koe ʻa e tataki mo e mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní (vakai, 2 Nīfai 33:1).

Ko kinautolu kuo fakafalala atu ke mou tokangaʻí, ko ha fānau kinautolu ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní, pea ʻokú Ne ʻafioʻi e meʻa ʻoku nau fie maʻú mo e founga lelei taha ke tokoni ai kiate kinautolú. ʻE tataki koe ʻe he ʻOtuá lolotonga hoʻo teuteú pea mo hoʻo akoʻí, ʻo fakafou ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. Te Ne fakahā atu ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke ke lea ʻakí mo fakahokó.

ʻOku maʻu maʻu pē ʻe he fānau pelepelengesi ko ʻení ha fakamatala, faʻu mo fakaleleiʻi ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú, pea fakahoko mo vahevahe e ngaahi ʻiló, ʻi he tapa kotoe pē ʻo ʻenau moʻuí. ʻOku tautefito e moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi he ongoongoleleí, koeʻuhi ʻoku mateuteu mo vēkeveke ʻa e fānaú ke ako e ngaahi moʻoni faingofua ʻo e ongoongoleleí. ʻOku mālohi mo haohaoa ʻenau tui ki he ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālié, pea ʻoku nau vakai ki he momeniti kotoa pē ko ha taimi ke ako. ʻOku nau ngāue loto fiemālie ʻi he meʻa kuo nau akó, neongo kapau ʻoku kei taʻekakato ʻenau mahinó. Ko e founga ʻeni ʻoku totonu ke tau maʻu ʻaki e ongoongoleleí. Hangē ko hono akoʻi mai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí, “Ko ia ia ʻe ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo hangē ko e tamasiʻi siʻí, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito hū ia ki ai” (Luke 18:17).

Ko e uiuiʻi ke akoʻi e fānaú ko ha falala toputapu. ʻOku angamaheni pē ke ongoʻi lōmekina ʻi ha ngaahi taimi. Kae manatuʻi naʻe uiuiʻi koe ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní, pea he ʻikai ʻaupito ke Ne liʻaki koe. Ko e ngāue ʻeni ʻa e ʻEikí, pea ʻi hoʻomou ngāue “ʻaki homou lotó, iví, ʻatamaí mo e mālohí kotoa” (T&F 4:2), te Ne fakalahi e ngaahi meʻa te mou malavá, meʻafoakí, mo e ngaahi talēnití, pea ʻe tāpuekina ʻe hoʻomou ngaahi ngāue tokoní ʻa e moʻui ʻo e fānau ʻoku mou akoʻí.
