Mōsaia 26:15–31; 27:23–37

ʻOku fakamolemoleʻi tauʻatāina pē ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa kinautolu ʻoku fakatomalá.

• Ko e fakatomalá mo e fakamolemolé ko ha ongo kaveinga ia ʻoku toutou hā ʻi he ngaahi vahe ko ʻení. Te mou lava ʻo vakaiʻi ʻa e ongo kaveingá ni ʻaki haʻo hiki ʻa e Fakatomalá mo e Fakamolemolé ʻi he palakipoé pea kole ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau lisi ʻi lalo ʻi he ongo ʻuluʻi tohi ko iá ʻa e meʻa ʻoku haʻu ki heʻenau fakakaukaú ʻi heʻenau fakakaukau ki he ongo foʻi leá ni. Pea te nau lava foki ke fekumi ʻi he Mōsaia 26:22–24, 29–31; mo e 27:23–37 ki ha ngaahi foʻi lea mo ha ngaahi kupuʻi lea ʻoku nau akoʻi ange fekauʻaki mo e fakatomalá mo e fakamolemolé. ʻE lava ke tānaki ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea mo e ngaahi kupuʻi lea ko ʻení ki he lisi ʻi he palakipoé. ʻOku fēfē ongoʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá fekauʻaki mo kinautolu ʻoku fakatomala mo kole fakamolemolé?

• Mahalo naʻa fifili ha kakai ʻe niʻihi pe kuo feʻunga ʻenau fakatomalá ke fakamolemoleʻi ai kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá. Koeʻuhí ke tokoni ki ha taha ʻi hoʻo kalasí ʻe ala ongoʻi pehē, te ke lava ʻo fakaafeʻi e kau mēmipa hoʻo kalasí ke nau fakakaukau ko ʻAlamā ko e Lahí kinautolu pea naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí ʻi Seilahemala ʻa e founga ke maʻu ai ha fakamolemole ʻo ʻenau ngaahi angahalá (mahalo naʻa lava ke mou fakatātaaʻi ʻeni). Ko e hā naʻe ako ‘e ʻAlamā mei he ʻEikí ʻi he Mōsaia 26:15–31 ʻe lava ke tokoni ki he mēmipa ko ʻeni ʻo e Siasí? (vakai foki, Molonai 6:8; TF 58:42–43). ʻE lava foki ke tokoni e fakamatala ko ʻeni meia Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingí: “Kapau ʻoku ke ongoʻi e ivi tākiekina ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻahó ni, te ke lau ia ko ha fakamoʻoni ʻoku ngāue ʻa e Fakaleleí ʻi hoʻo moʻuí” (“Gifts of the Spirit for Hard Times,” Ensign, June 2007, 23).

Mōsaia 27:8–24

ʻOku fanongo ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻetau ngaahi lotú pea ʻokú Ne tali ia ʻo fakatatau mo Hono finangaló.

• ʻE lava ke mahino ki hatau tokolahi e ngaahi ongo ʻa ʻAlamā ko e Lahí, ʻa ia ko hono fohá naʻe “angatuʻu ki he ʻOtuá” (Mōsaia 27:11). Mahalo naʻa lava ke aleaʻi ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ha founga te nau ala fakaʻaongaʻi ai ʻa e fakamatala ʻi he Mōsaia 27:8–24 ke maʻu ai ʻe ha taha ʻoku hē ha mēmipa hono fāmilí, ha ʻamanaki lelei. ʻI he mahino ko ia he ʻikai ke tau lava ʻo vili kikihi ki ha mana pe fakamālohiʻi e tauʻatāina ke fili ʻa ha tahá, ko e hā leva te tau lava ʻo lotua totonu ʻi he taimi ʻoku ʻalu hē ai ha taha ʻoku tau ʻofa aí? (vakai foki, ʻAlamā 6:6).

Mōsaia 27:8–28:4

Kuo pau ke fanauʻi foʻou ʻa e tangata mo e fefine kotoa.

• Ko ha ngaahi fehuʻi ʻeni ʻe ala tokoni ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau ʻilo ki he fanauʻi foʻoú: ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ke fanauʻi foʻou fakalaumālie? (vakai, Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “Uluí”). ʻE founga fēfē haʻatau feinga ke feangalelei-ʻaki ʻi he taimi ʻoku fanauʻi foʻou fakalaumālie ai kitautolú? Koeʻuhí ke lava ʻa e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ʻo tali ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení, te ke lava ke fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau kumi ʻi he Mōsaia 27:22–28:4 ki ha ngaahi fakaʻilonga naʻe fanauʻi foʻou fakalaumālie ʻa ʻAlamā mo e ngaahi foha ʻo Mōsaiá.

• ʻOku ʻi ai ha talanoa ʻo e ului ʻa e taha kotoa pē, hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻAlamaá, “ko e faʻahinga kotoa ʻo e tangata kotoa pē … kuo pau ke fanauʻi foʻou” (Mōsaia 27:25; naʻe tānaki atu e mataʻitohi fakahihifí). Mahalo naʻa lava ʻe ha niʻihi tokosiʻi ʻo e kau mēmipa e kalasí ke vahevahe ʻa e founga ʻo ʻenau ului ki he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí—ʻo tatau ai pē pe naʻe fakafou ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālie mālohi naʻe hoko ʻi heʻenau moʻuí pe ʻi ha meʻa ne hoko māmālie, pea ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ʻi ha founga fūfūnaki ʻe toki fakatokangaʻi pē ʻi haʻane ʻosi. Te ke lava foki ke ʻoange ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ha taimi ʻi he kalasí ke nau lekooti ʻenau ngaahi aʻusiá. (Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha taimi ia ke fai ai ʻeni ʻi he kalasí, ʻe lava ke ke fokotuʻu ange ke nau fai ia ʻi ʻapi.) Koeʻuhí ke fakamamafaʻi ʻoku totonu ke hokohoko pē ʻa ʻetau uluí, te ke ala fokotuʻu ange ke toutou vakaiʻi ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ʻa e meʻa naʻa nau tohí pea mo tānaki atu ha ngaahi aʻusia foʻou.

• Naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe ʻAlamā mo ha niʻihi ʻi he folofolá kotoa ʻa e tala-fakatātā ʻo e fanauʻi foʻoú ke fakamatalaʻi ʻa e liliu ʻoku fakahoko ʻe he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ki heʻetau moʻuí. Naʻe fakafehoanaki ʻe ʻEletā Tēvita A. Petinā ʻa e liliu ko ʻení ki ha foʻi kiukamupā ʻoku hoko ko ha pīkolo (vakai, “Ngaahi Maʻuʻanga Tokoni Kehé”). Te ke lava ʻo ʻomi ha foʻi kiukamupā mo ha pīkolo ki he kalasí, ke tokoni ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau fakalaulauloto ki he meʻa ʻoku akoʻi ʻe he fakafehoanaki ko ʻení fekauʻaki mo e uluí. Pe te ke fakaafeʻi ha taha ke ne ʻomi ha pēpē mo aleaʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e fanauʻí ko ha fakatātā lelei ʻo e meʻa naʻe hoko kia ʻAlamā mo e ngaahi foha ʻo Mōsaiá. (Vakai, Mōsaia 27:23–28:7.)

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe ʻEletā Tēvita A. Petinā ʻa e fakataipe ko ʻení ʻo fakafehoanaki ʻa e fanauʻi foʻou fakalaumālié ki he ngaohi ʻo e pīkoló mei he kiukamupaá:

“Ko e pīkoló ko ha foʻi kiukamupā kuo liliu ʻo fakatatau mo hano faʻahinga ngaohi pea mo ha ngaahi sitepu. Ko e ongo ʻuluaki sitepu ʻi he ngāue ki hono liliu ha foʻi kiukamupā ke hoko ko ha foʻi pīkoló ko hono teuteu mo hono fakamaʻa. …

“Te ke lava pea mo u lava ke liliu, ʻo tatau mo e pau ke teuteu mo fakamaʻa ʻa e kiukamupaá kimuʻa pea toki lava ʻo liliu ko ha pīkoló, koeʻuhí kae lava ʻo teuteuʻi kitaua ʻaki ‘ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e tuí mo e akonaki leleí’ (1 Tīmote 4:6) kae ʻuluaki fakamaʻa ʻi he ngaahi ouau mo e ngaahi fuakava ʻoku fakahoko ʻaki e mafai ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné. …
