Ngaahi Maʻuʻanga Tokoni Kehé

ʻOku tutulu ʻa e ʻOtuá maʻa ʻEne fānaú.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Sefilī R. Hōlani ʻo pehē:

“ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo ha mata meʻa-hā-mai fakaofo ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa ia ne fakaava ai ʻa e langí ki heʻene vakaí, ʻi he mamata ʻa ʻĪnoke ki he ngaahi tāpuaki mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e moʻui fakamatelié, naʻá ne tafoki ʻo hanga ki he Tamaí peá ne ofo ke vakai atu ʻokú Ne tutulu. Naʻá ne pehē ʻi he fifili mo e ofo ki he Tokotaha mālohi taha ʻi he ʻunivēsí: ‘Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke lava ai ke tangí?’ …

“ʻOku tali ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo ʻafio atu ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko ʻo ha faʻahinga ʻaho pē ia, ʻo pehē: ‘Vakai ki he faʻahingá ni ko ho kāingá; kuó u fakatupu ʻa kinautolu ʻaki hoku nima pē ʻoʻokú. … Pea naʻá ku foaki kiate kinautolu … [ha] fekau, ke nau feʻofaʻaki ʻiate kinautolu, pea ke nau fili au, ʻa ia ko ʻenau Tamaí; kae vakai, ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau ʻofa, pea nau fehiʻa ki honau toto ʻonautolú pē. … Ko ia, he ʻikai koā ʻoku totonu ke tangi ʻa e ngaahi langí, ko e meʻa ʻi he mamahiʻia ʻa kinautolú ni?’ [Mōsese 7:29–33, 37].

“ʻOku akoʻi lahi ange ʻe he fakatātā mālie ʻe taha ko iá ʻa e natula moʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo laka hake ʻi hano toe lava ʻe ha faʻahinga feinga faka-teolosia ke fakamatalaʻi ia. … He toki ʻīmisi fakangalongataʻa moʻoni ia ʻo e kau mai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻetau moʻuí! He toki mamahi lahi moʻoni ia ʻi ha mātuʻa ʻi he ʻikai fili ʻe Heʻene fānaú Ia pe ‘ko e ongoongolelei ʻo e ʻOtuá’ kuó Ne ʻomí! [Loma 1:1]. He toki meʻa faingofua ke ʻofa ʻi ha taha ʻoku ʻofa fakataautaha mai kiate kitautolu!” (“The Grandeur of God,” Liahona, Nōvema. 2003, 72).
