Ko e fakamoʻoní ko hano fakahaaʻi ia ʻo ha moʻoni ʻo fakatefito ʻi ha ʻilo pe tui fakataautaha.

• ʻE lava ke hoko ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻa Paula kia Fesitasi mo e Tuʻi ko ʻAkilipá ko ha faingamālie ke aleaʻi ai ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e fakahoko ha fakamoʻoní. ʻE lava ke ke kamata ʻaki hano kole ange ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau toe vakaiʻi ʻa e Ngāue 22:1–21 mo e 26:1–29. Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako mei he sīpinga ʻa Paula fekauʻaki mo e fakamoʻoní? Ko e hā mo ha ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni kehe fekauʻaki mo e fakamoʻoní ʻoku tau ako mei he fakamatala ʻa ʻEletā M. Russell Ballard ʻi he “Ngaahi Maʻuʻanga Tokoni Kehé”? ʻE lava ʻo tokoni hono hivaʻi pe tā ʻo e himi “Ko e Fakamoʻoní” (Hymns, fika 69) ke ʻomi ʻa e Laumālié ki hoʻomou fealēleaʻakí

Ko e hā ha ngaahi fakatokanga ʻe lava ke tau maʻu he ʻahó ni mei he tali ʻa e Tuʻi ko ʻAkilipá ki he fakamoʻoni ʻa Paulá? (vakai, Ngāue 26:28). ʻE lava foki ke fakakaukau ʻa e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ki ha ngaahi fakamoʻoni kehe mei he folofolá kuó ne ueʻi fakalaumālie kinautolu. (Ko ha ngaahi sīpinga ʻeni: Sione 19:25–27; 2 Nīfai 33:10–15; ʻAlamā 5:45–48; mo e TF 76:22–24.) Pe ko ʻenau vahevahe ha ngaahi aʻusia naʻe tākiekina ai kinautolu ʻe ha fakamoʻoni ʻa ha taha.

• Naʻe fakafehoanaki ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻene ngaahi aʻusia mo e fakamoʻoni ki he ʻUluaki Mata Meʻa-Hā-Maí ki he aʻusia ʻa Paula ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Tuʻi ko ʻAkilipá (vakai, Siosefa Sāmita—Hisitōlia 1:24–25). ʻE lava ke ngāue tauhoa ʻa e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke faʻu ha lisi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tatau ʻi he ongo tamaioʻeiki ko ʻeni ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku tokoni fēfē ʻa e ʻekitivitī ko ʻení ke mahino kiate kitautolu ʻa e founga ke vahevahe ai ʻetau fakamoʻoní neongo ʻa e faingataʻa hono fakahokó?

• Neongo naʻe ʻikai fekumi ʻa Paula ki he fakamoʻoni fakalaumālie naʻá ne maʻu ʻi he hala ki Tamasikusí, ka naʻá ne fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e toenga ʻo ʻene moʻuí ke ngāue mo tauhi mo taukaveʻi ʻene fakamoʻoní (vakai, Ngāue 22:10, 14–16; 26:19). ʻE lava ke tokoni ʻa e sīpinga ʻa Paulá ke mahino ki hoʻo kalasí ko e fakamoʻoní ʻoku fie maʻu ki ai ʻa e ngāué mo e feilaulaú. Ke kamataʻi ha feilaulau fekauʻaki mo ʻeni, ʻe lava ke fakamatalaʻi ʻe ha mēmipa ʻo e kalasí haʻane feinga ke hoko ko ha tokotaha pāteʻi hiva, ʻaati, pe sipoti. ʻOku tatau fēfē ʻa e feinga ke fakatupulaki ha faʻahinga taukei peheé mo hono fakamālohia ha fakamoʻoní? Ko e hā ha ngaahi ngāue kuo pau ke tau fakahoko ke maʻu mo fakamālohia ai ha fakamoʻoni? (vakai foki, ʻAlamā 5:46).

Ngāue 26:9–23

ʻOku tau maʻu ha faingamālie ke tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé.

• Naʻe ui ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Paula ke hoko “[ko ha] faifekau” (Ngāue 26:16), ka ko e ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e foʻi lea ko ʻení? Ke tokoni ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau kumi ʻa e founga ʻe lava ke nau tokoni ai ki he niʻihi kehé, te ke lava ke tohi ʻi he palakipoé ha fehuʻi hangē ko e Ko e ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e tokoní? Fakaafeʻi ʻa e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau fekumi ki ha ngaahi tali mei he ngaahi maʻuʻanga tokoni ko ʻení: Mātiu 20:25–28; Ngāue 26:16–18; 3 Nīfai 18:29–32; Fakahinohino ki he Folofolá, “Minister,” scriptures.lds.org. ʻI heʻenau vahevahe ʻa e meʻa ne nau maʻú, poupouʻi kinautolu ke nau aleaʻi ha ngaahi founga ʻe lava ke tau tokoni kotoa ai ki he niʻihi kehé, kau ai hotau ngaahi fatongia faka-Siasí.

Hangē ko ʻení, ko e hā ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe he talanoa ʻo Sai Sionisoní fekauʻaki mo e tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé? ʻOku hoko foki mo e foʻi vitiō ko e “The Miracle of the Roof” (LDS.org) Ko e hā mo ha ngaahi sīpinga kehe ʻe lava ke vahevahe ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí? Tuku ange ha taimi ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau fakakaukau ai ki ha taha ʻe lava ke nau tokoni ki ai ʻi he uiké ni pea mo e founga ʻe lava ke nau fai ai iá.

Ngaahi Maʻuʻanga Tokoni Kehé

Ngāue 22–28

Ko hono fai ʻo e fakamoʻoní.

Naʻe lea ʻa ʻEletā M.  Russell Ballard fekauʻaki mo e fakamoʻoni ʻa Paula ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Tuʻi ko ʻAkilipá mo ne akoʻi hono ʻuhinga ke tau fakamoʻoní:

“ʻOku totonu ke toe lahi ange hono fakatefito ʻetau ngaahi houalotu fakamoʻoní ʻi he Fakamoʻuí, ngaahi tokāteline ʻo e ongoongoleleí, ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e Fakafoki Mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí, pea mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻo e folofolá. ʻOku fie maʻu ke tau fetongi e ngaahi talanoá, ngaahi fefonongaʻakí, mo e ngaahi malangá ʻaki ha ngaahi fakamoʻoni ʻoku haohaoa. ʻOku fie maʻu kinautolu ʻoku fakafalala ke nau fai ha lea mo ha ako ʻi heʻetau ngaahi fakatahaʻangá ke nau fai ia ʻaki e mālohi fakatokāteline ko ē ʻe fakatou ongona mo ongoʻí, ʻo ne hiki hake ʻa e laumālié mo fakamāmaʻi hotau kakaí. …

“… Neongo ʻoku lelei maʻu pē ke fakahaaʻi ʻa e ʻofá mo e houngaʻiá, ka ʻoku ʻikai makatuʻunga ʻi he faʻahinga tōʻonga ko iá ʻa e faʻahinga fakamoʻoni ko ē te ne fakatupu ʻa e tui mālohí ʻi he moʻui ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Ke fai e fakamoʻoní ‘ko [ha] fakamoʻoni ia ʻi he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní; ko hano fakahā ia ʻo ha fakamoʻoni mamalu ʻo e moʻoní makatuʻunga ʻi he ʻilo fakafoʻituitui pe tui’ [Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “Fakamoʻoní,” scriptures.lds.org]. ʻOku fakahoko ʻe he fakahaaʻi mahino ʻo e moʻoní ha faikehekehe ʻi he moʻui ʻa e kakaí. Ko e meʻa ʻeni ʻokú ne liliu ʻa e lotó. Ko e meʻa ia ʻoku lava ke fakapapauʻi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻi he loto ʻo e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá” (“Pure Testimony,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2004, 41).

Ko e tuʻu fakataha mo e kau taki ʻo e Siasí.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Ronald  A. Rasband:

Kuo uiuiʻi fakalangi [hotau kau takí], ke akoʻi mo tataki kitautolu pea mo fakatokanga mai ke tau tokanga telia ʻa e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo ia he ʻaho takitaha—ʻa e taʻe tokanga ki hono tauhi e Sāpaté ke māʻoniʻoní, ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatuʻutāmaki ki he fāmilí, ʻa hono ʻohofi e tauʻatāina ʻo e tui fakalotú, pea aʻu ki hono fakakikihiʻi ʻo e fakahā ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní. Kāinga, ʻoku tau fakafanongo nai ki heʻenau faleʻí? …

“ʻI heʻetau vilitaki atu ki muʻa, ʻo fili ke muimui ki he fakahinohino mo e fakatokanga hotau kau takí, ʻoku tau fili ai ke muimui ki he ʻEikí kae fou ʻa e māmaní ia ʻi ha hala kehe. ʻOku tau fili ke pīkitai ki he vaʻa ukameá, ke hoko ko e Kāingalotu ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, ke fai e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí, pea fakafonu ‘ʻaki ha fuʻu fiefia lahi’ [1 Nīfai 8:12].

“ʻOku mahino e fehuʻi ʻoku fakautuutu ʻo e ʻaho ní: ʻokú ke tuʻu fakataha nai mo e kau taki ʻo e Siasí ʻi ha māmani fakapoʻuli ke mou lava ʻo fakamafola e Maama ʻo Kalaisí?” (“Ko e Tuʻu Fakataha mo e Kau Taki ʻo e Siasí,” Ensign pe Liahona, Mē 2016, 47–48).
