ʻOku fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ʻoku faitāpuekina ʻa Uiliami E. Makalelini koeʻuhí he kuó ne tali ʻa e ongoongoleleí

Kimuʻa pea fai e kalasí, tā ʻa e fakatātā ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé.

ʻI he kamata e kalasí, fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau vakaiʻi fakalelei ʻa e fakatātā ʻi he palakipoé. Kole ange ke nau fakalaulauloto fakalongolongo ki he feituʻu te nau fokotuʻu ai kinautolu ʻi he fakatātaá. Toe fokotuʻu ange foki ke nau fakakaukau ki he feituʻu ʻoku nau ʻunu ki aí—ofi ange ki he ʻOtuá pe mamaʻo meiate Ia. Pea fakaafeʻi leva ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e lea ko ʻeni ʻa Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí. Kole ki he kalasí ke nau fakafanongo ki ha ngaahi founga ʻe lava ke tau ʻunuʻunu ofi ange ai ki he ʻOtuá.

“Kapau ʻokú ke loto ke vāofi mo ha taha kuó ke ʻofa ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke mo vāofi, ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e founga ke fai ki aí. Te ke kumi ha founga ke ke talanoa mo kinautolu, te ke fakafanongo kiate kinautolu, pea te ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi founga ke mo fetokoniʻaki aí. Ko e lahi ange ʻene hokó, mo ʻene fuoloa angé, ko e loloto ange ia ʻa e fehokotaki ʻo e ʻofá. Kapau ʻe ʻosi atu ha taimi lahi ʻoku ʻikai ha feleaʻaki, fakafanongo, mo fai ha meʻa, ʻe vaivai leva ʻa e fehokotakí.

“ʻOku haohaoa mo māfimafi ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku tau matelie. Ka ko ia ʻetau Tamaí, ʻokú Ne ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu, pea ʻokú ne foaki mai ʻa e faingamālie tatau ke ofi ange ai kiate ia ʻo hangē pē ha kaungāmeʻa ʻofá. Pea te ke fai ia ʻi he founga tatau pē: ʻi he leá, fakafanongó, mo hono fakahokó“ (To Draw Closer to God,”Ensign, May 1991, 66).

Fakatatau kia Palesiteni ʻAealingi, ko e hā e founga ʻe lava ke tau ʻunuʻunu ofi ange ai ki he ʻOtuá? ʻOkú ke pehē ʻoku ʻuhinga ki he hā ke lea, fakafanongo, pea fakahoko?

Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻi he ngaahi fuofua ʻaho ʻo e Siasí, ne ʻunu ofi ange ai ha tangata ko Uiliami E. Makalelini ki he ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene ako fekauʻaki mo e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí. Naʻe papitaiso ia ʻi he ʻaho 20 ʻo ʻAokosi 1831. Hili pē iá, naʻe fakanofo ia ko ha kaumātuʻa, pea naʻá ne ʻalu fakataha mo Hailame Sāmita ʻi ha ngaahi uike siʻi ko ha faifekau. Naʻá ne fononga ʻi ʻOkatopa 1831 ki ʻOhaiō ki ha konifelenisi ʻa e Siasí. Lolotonga ʻene ʻi aí, naʻá ne fetaulaki ai mo e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá. ʻI he ʻaho 29 ʻo ʻOkatopá, naʻe lotu ʻa Misa Makalelini ʻi he lilo, ʻo kole ki he ʻEikí ke fakahā ange ʻa e tali ki ha ngaahi fehuʻi pau ʻe nima ʻo fakafou ʻia Siosefa Sāmita. Naʻe kole ai ʻe Misa Makalelini ha fakahā, ʻo ʻikai talaange kia Siosefa Sāmita. ʻI hono hiki ʻe he Palōfitá e fakahā ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 66, naʻe ʻilo ai ʻe Misa Makalelini naʻe tali ʻa ʻene ngaahi fehuʻí. Naʻe ʻoange ʻe he ʻEikí ha ngaahi fakahinohino mo e fakatokanga ke tokoni kiate ia ke ne faivelenga pea faifai pē peá ne maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá.

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 66:1–2. Kole ki he kalasí ke nau muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi ki he ngaahi ʻuhinga naʻe tāpuekina ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Misa Makalelini ʻi he taimi ʻo e fakahā ko ʻení.

Ko e hā naʻe lava ai ʻe Misa Makalelini ʻo maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki mei he ʻEikí? (Koeʻuhí kuó ne tafoki mei heʻene ngaahi angahalá, maʻu ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni ʻa e ʻEikí, pea tali ʻa e kakato ʻo e ongoongoleleí.)

ʻOku fekau e he ʻEikí ʻa Uiliami E. Makalelini ke malanga ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí, siʻaki ʻa e anga taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, pea hokohoko faivelenga atu ki he ngataʻangá

Toe vakai ki he talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ke fakahā kia Uiliami E. Makalelini ʻa e ngaahi angahala naʻe fie maʻu ke ne fakatomala mei aí. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi ʻa e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 66:4. Kole ki he kalasí ke nau muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi ki ha toe meʻa kehe naʻe talaʻofa ʻe he ʻEikí ke fakahā kia Misa Makaleliní. Kole ki he kau akó ke nau lipooti e meʻa ʻoku nau maʻú.

Fakatatau ki he veesi 8–9, ko e hā e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻe maʻu ʻe Misa Makalelini ʻo kapau te ne fakahoko faivelenga ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí? (ʻE ʻiate ia ʻa e ʻEikí pea tāpuekina ia ke ne lava ʻo fakamālohia ʻa e kau faivelengá mo fakamoʻui ʻa e mahakí.)

Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku ʻikai ngata pē ʻi hono ʻoange kia Misa Makalelini ha ngaahi fakahinohino fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ke faí, naʻe ʻoange ʻe he ʻEikí ha fakatokanga kiate ia.
