Naʻe hā kia Siosefa ha ʻāngelo ʻi ha misi ʻo talaange ke ʻave hono fāmilí ki ʻIsipite. Naʻe fakahaofi ʻe he ngaahi fakatokanga ko ʻení ʻa e valevale ko Sīsuú mei hono tamateʻi ʻe Hēlota ʻa e fānau kotoa pē naʻe taʻu ua mo siʻi ange aí ʻi he feituʻu takatakai ʻi Pētelihemá. Hili e pekia ʻa Hēlotá, naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Siosefa ke foki ki ʻIsileli. Hangē pē ko hono tāpuakiʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Kau Tangata Potó, Siosefa, mo Mele ʻaki ʻa e fakahaá, ʻokú Ne fie maʻu foki ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻaki ha fakahā.

ʻOku fakatokanga ʻa e ʻEikí ki he Kau Tangata Potó mo Siosefa

Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi founga kuo fetuʻutaki ai ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní mo koe ʻi hoʻo moʻuí, pea tali ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení.

• Ko e fē ‘a e tafaʻaki ʻi hoʻo moʻuí ʻokú ke ongoʻi ʻokú ke fie maʻu vivili ai ‘a e fakahinohino mo e tataki ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní?

ʻI hoʻo ako ʻa e Mātiu 2, te ke maʻu ai ha faingamālie ke ako fekauʻaki mo hono maʻu ha tataki mo ha fakahinohino mei he Tamai Hēvaní.

ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻaloʻi ai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, naʻe ʻiloa ʻa e pule ʻi Siuteá ko Hēlota ko e Lahí. Ko ha tangata faiangahala ia. ʻI heʻene fakataha mo e Kau Tangata Potó, naʻá ne kole ange ke nau foki ange ʻo fakahā kiate ia ʻa e meʻa ne nau ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e tamasiʻi ko Kalaisí (vakai, Mātiu 2:8). Koeʻuhí ko e faiangahala ʻa Hēlotá, naʻe fakatokanga ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he Kau Tangata Potó mo fekauʻi mai ha ʻāngelo ke fakatokanga kia Siosefa ʻi ha misi.

ʻI hoʻo ako e folofolá, ʻoku mahuʻinga ke ʻiloʻi e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoní. Ko e tefitoʻi moʻoní ko ha foʻi moʻoni tuʻuloa ia te ne lava ʻo ʻoatu ha fakakaukau foʻou mo tokoniʻi koe ʻi hono fakahoko ha ngaahi filí. Te tau lava ʻo faʻa ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoní ʻaki hono tali ha ngaahi fehuʻi hangē ko ʻení:

ʻE fakatokanga mai ʻa e ʻEikí

Mahalo naʻá ke ʻilo mei he Mātiu 2:11–16, ha tefitoʻi moʻoni fekauʻaki mo hono maʻu ʻo e ngaahi fakatokanga mei he ʻEikí. Naʻe fakahoko ʻe Palesiteni Poiti K.

ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻamanaki te mou foua e moʻuí taʻe ʻi ai haʻamou fehalaaki, ka he ʻikai te mou fakahoko ha fehalaaki lahi taʻe tomuʻa fakatokanga atu e ngaahi ueʻi ʻa e Laumālié. ʻOku kaungatonu e talaʻofa ko ʻení ki he kāingalotu kotoa ʻo e Siasí.

(Boyd K. Packer, “Faleʻi ki he Toʻu Tupú,” Ensign pe Liahona, Nōvema 2011, 18)

Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi fehuʻi ko ‘ení:

• Ko e hā ʻoku fakahā mai ʻe he finangalo ʻo e Tamai Hēvaní ke fakatokanga mai kiate kitautolu ʻi he Laumālié fekauʻaki mo Hono natulá pea mo Hono ʻulungāngá?

Ko e foki ʻa Siosefa, Mele mo Sīsū mei ʻIsipité

ʻOku tau lau ʻi he Mātiu 2:19–23, ko e taimi naʻe pekia ai ʻa Hēlotá, naʻe toe fakahoko ʻe he ʻEikí ha pōpoaki ʻe taha kia Siosefa lolotonga ʻene ʻi ʻIsipite mo Mele, pea mo Sīsuú. ʻOku tau ako mei he fetuʻutaki ko ʻeni mo Siosefá, kapau ʻoku tau loto fiemālie ke fakafanongo mo talangofua, te tau lava ʻo maʻu ha fakahā mo ha fakahinohino.

Henry B. Eyring, “Ko e Hoko ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ko Ho Takauá,”Ensign pe Liahona, Nōvema 2015, 104)

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Lōnolo A. Lasipeni ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá:

Naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní te tau fehangahangai ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié mo e ngaahi faingataʻa, mamahi, mo e moveuveu; naʻá Ne ʻafioʻi te tau fefaʻuhi mo e ngaahi fehuʻi, fakaloto-mamahi, ʻahiʻahí, mo e ngaahi vaivaí. Ke foaki mai kiate kitautolu ʻa e mālohi fakamatelié mo e tataki fakalangí, naʻá Ne ʻomi ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

Receiving Revelation

You can receive personal revelation from God by living His gospel and having the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Kapau ʻokú ke fie ako lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi founga ʻe lava ke lea atu ai ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní kiate koé, fakakaukau ke lau ʻa e fakamatala ko e “Eight Ways God Can Speak to You” fai ʻe Palesiteni Dallin H. Oaks ʻo e Palesitenisī ʻUluakí (New Era, Sep. 2004, 4–8).

Ko e hā naʻe tamateʻi ai ʻe Hēlota ʻa e fānau taʻehalaiá?

Naʻe “puputuʻu” ʻa e Tuʻi ko Hēlotá ʻi he ongoongo kuo ʻaloʻi ha “Tuʻi [ʻe taha] ʻo e kakai Siú” ( Mātiu 2:2–3), naʻá ne fie maʻu ai ke tamateʻi ʻa Sīsū ke maluʻi hono taloni ʻoʻoná. ʻI hono ʻiloʻi ʻe Hēlota kuo ʻaloʻi ʻa Sīsū ʻi Pētelihema ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua kimuʻá, naʻá ne tuʻutuʻuni ai ke tamateʻi ʻa e fānau kotoa pē ʻi ai ʻoku teʻeki ai hoko honau taʻu uá (vakai Mātiu2:4, 7, 12–16).
