Loma 8:1–17

“Kau [ʻEa-Hoko] Fakataha mo Kalaisi” 

Ko e fāʻofua ha tangata Hisipēniki ki he Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOku tui ʻe Kalaisi ha pulupulu hinehina.

ʻI ha taimi naʻe ʻikai uouangataha ai ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ʻi Lomá pea nau taʻefiemālie ʻi ha ngaahi kaveinga mahuʻinga lahi, naʻe tohi ʻa Paula kiate kinautolu fekauʻaki mo e founga te nau lava ai ʻo muimui ki he Laumālié ke maʻu ʻa e Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ke ikunaʻi honau natula hingá. Naʻe palōmesi ange ʻa Paula kapau te nau fai ʻeni, te nau hoko ko e kaungā ʻea-hoko fakataha mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní. ʻI hoʻo akó, feinga ke fakatupulaki hoʻo holi ke muimui ki he Laumālié mo maʻu ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní.

Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke loto ke ke maʻú?

Kapau te ke lava ʻo fili ha taha ke ke maʻu (inherit) ha meʻa mei ai, ko hai te ke filí? Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa te ke loto ke maʻu mei he tokotaha ko ʻení?

Naʻe tohi ʻa e ʻAposetolo ko Paulá ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Lomá fekauʻaki mo e tofiʻa ʻoku foaki ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ki Heʻene fānaú takitaha. Lau ʻa e Loma 8:16–17, 32, pea fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku foaki mai ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní maʻatautolú. Mahalo ʻe tokoni ke ʻiloʻi ko e ʻea-hokó “ko ha tokotaha ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e totonu ke ne maʻu ʻa e ngaahi meʻafoaki fakatuʻasino pe fakalaumālie” (Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “ʻEa-hokó,” scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

Ko e hā ha ngaahi foʻi lea pe ngaahi kupuʻi lea naʻá ke fakaʻilongaʻí?
ʻOkú ke pehē ʻoku ʻuhinga ki he hā ke hoko ko ha kaungā ʻea-hoko fakataha mo Sīsū Kalaisí?

Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi moʻoni ʻoku tokoni ʻa e ngaahi veesi ko ʻení ke mahino kiate kitautolú, ʻoku finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ke tāpuakiʻi kitautolu ʻaki ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻokú Ne maʻú (vakai foki, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 76:55; 84:38).

ʻI heʻene lave ki he tofiʻa ʻoku finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ke tāpuakiʻi ʻaki kitautolú, naʻe akoʻi mai ʻe Palesiteni Tieta F. ʻUkitofa, ʻi heʻene kei ʻi he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, ʻo pehē:

ʻOku ʻikai ke u mākupusi pe mafakakaukaua ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻoku kātoi ʻi he talaʻofa ko ʻení. Ka ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ʻoku fakaʻofoʻofa, ʻoku fakalangi, ʻoku taʻengata, pea ʻoku taau ke tau ngāueʻi ʻi he kotoa ʻo e moʻuí.

(Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “Hingoa ʻe Fā,” Liahona, Mē 2013, 60)

Tuku ha kiʻi taimi ke ke fakakaukau ai ki he ʻuhinga ʻo e maʻu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní, pea fakakaukau pe ko e hā ha ngaahi fehuʻi te ke ala ‘eke fekauʻaki mo e moʻoni ko ʻení. Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi ʻulungaanga, tōʻonga, mo e ngaahi tāpuaki kehe ʻokú ke loto ke maʻu mei he Tamai Hēvaní. ʻI he hokohoko atu hoʻo ako ʻi he ʻaho ní, fekumi ki he ngaahi moʻoni ʻe lava ʻo tokoni ke mahino lelei ange kiate koe ʻa e tofiʻa ʻoku finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ke tāpuakiʻi ʻaki koé, mo e meʻa te ke lava ʻo fai ke ke feʻunga ai mo iá.

Faʻu ‘a e saati ko ení ‘i hoʻo tohinoa akó:

Ngaahi tāpuaki ‘oku finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ke tau maʻú	Ko e hā te tau lava ʻo fai ke taau ai mo e tofiʻa ko ʻení

Kuo fakahā mai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi hotau kuongá ni ha meʻa lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e tofiʻa ʻoku finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ke foaki mai maʻatautolú. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa kinautolu te nau maʻu ʻa e puleʻanga fakasilesitialé ko hanau tofiʻá, ko ha konga ʻo ha fakahā naʻe foaki ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá mo lekooti ʻi he tohi ‘oku ‘iloa ʻi he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 76.

Manatuʻi neongo ʻoku fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi veesi ko ʻení ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea hangē ko e “ngaahi foha” mo e “tangata,” ka ʻoku ʻaonga tatau pē ʻa e ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he fānau kotoa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 25:1). ʻE ala tokoni foki ke ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e foʻi lea “kakano,” ʻa ia ʻoku hā ʻi he Loma 8, ki ha taha ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa fakamāmaní pe fakatuʻasinó. ʻE lava foki ke ʻuhinga ia ki he ngaahi uʻa ʻo e kakanó (vakai, Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “Fakaekakanó,” scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

Ko e fē ʻa e ngaahi veesi mei hoʻo akó naʻe mahuʻingamālie taha kiate koé? Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻe tokoni atu ʻa e ngaahi veesi ko ʻení ke mahino lelei ange kiate koe fekauʻaki mo e tofiʻa ʻoku finangalo ʻa e ʻOtuá ke foaki kiate koé? Ko e hā te ke lava ʻo fai ke ke taau ai mo e tofiʻa ko iá?

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe Palesiteni ʻIleini S. Talatoni, ko ha Palesiteni Lahi mālōlō ʻo e Kau Finemuí, ha talanoa fekauʻaki mo ha tuʻi ʻokú ne fakatātaaʻi ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení:

Remember Who You Are!
There is no more beautiful sight than a young woman who glows with the light of the Spirit, who is confident and courageous because she is virtuous.

[Naʻe] ʻilo taʻe toe veiveiua [ʻe he tuʻí] ko hai ia. ʻI heʻene kei talavoú, naʻe kaihaʻasi ia ʻe ha kau tangata kovi kuo nau toʻo ʻa e taloní mei heʻene tamaí ko e tuʻí.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Paula, “Kapau te tau mamahi mo ia,” te tau hoko ko e “kau hoko fakataha mo Kalaisi” [Loma 8:17; tānaki atu hono fakamamafaʻí]. ʻA Hono lotó kotoa, mo hotau lotó kotoa.

Ko e hā naʻe akoʻi ai ʻe Paula ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau hoko ko e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtuá lolotonga iá ko kitautolú kotoa ko ʻEne fānau?

Neongo ko e tokotaha kotoa pē ko ha fānau fakalaumālie ia ‘o ha mātuʻa fakalangi, ka ʻoku tokoni ʻa e ngaahi akonaki ʻa Paula fekauʻaki mo e “Laumālie ʻo e ohí” mo e hoko ko e ngaahi foha [mo e ngaahi ʻofefine] ʻa kinautolu ʻo e ʻOtuá” (vakai, Loma 8:14–15) ke mahino kiate kitautolu ʻe lava ke fanauʻi foʻou fakalaumālie kitautolu, pe ohi ko e ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Kalaisi ʻi he fuakava ʻo e ongoongoleleí (vakai, Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “ Fuakavá,” scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).
