Fakafuofuaʻi Hoʻo Akó 1

Mātiu 1–2; Luke 1–2; Sione 1

A ward in the Philippines come to church on bikes, walking and on motorcycles. They walk into the meetinghouse and attend their classes and sacrament meeting. People speak, teachers teach, they sing, they learn and then they leave the building to go home.

Ko e ʻuluaki ʻeni ʻo e ngaahi lēsoni ki hono siviʻi ʻo e ngaahi taimi kehekehe te ke kau ai ʻi hono ako ʻo e Fuakava Foʻoú. ʻOku fakataumuʻa ʻa e ngaahi lēsoni ko ʻení ke tokoniʻi -koe ke ke fakafuofuaʻi hoʻo ngaahi taumuʻá, akó, mo e tupulaki fakatāutahá.

Fakaʻaliʻali e ngaahi fili ko ʻení ke vakai ki ai e kau akó ʻi heʻenau fakakakato e ʻekitivitī ko ʻení.

ʻOange ha ngaahi naunau tā fakatātā kehekehe maʻá e kau akó kapau ʻoku maʻu ʻa e ngaahi naunau ko ʻení, hangē ko e peni vahevahe, peni, kala, peni fakaʻilonga, vali, pepa, mo e alā meʻa pehē. ʻE lava foki ke fakahoko ʻeni ʻaki ʻa e ʻumeá pe ko ha ʻekitivitī ʻi tuʻa mo ha sioka he veʻehalá.

Fili A: Ko ha fakatupu ʻokú ne fakaafeʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau “vakai ki he Lami ʻa e ʻOtuá”

ʻOku tau lau ʻi he Sione 1, ʻa e fakaafe ʻa Sione Papitaiso ki hono kau muimuí ke “vakai ki he Lami ʻa e ʻOtuá” (Sione 1:36). Ko e ʻuhinga ʻe taha ‘o e foʻi lea vakai ko e sio, fakatokangaʻi, pe tokanga makehe ki ha meʻa pe ko ha taha.

ʻI he ʻekitivitī ko ʻení, faʻu ha meʻa ʻe lava ʻo tokoni ki he kakaí ke nau “vakai ki he Lami ʻa e ʻOtuá,” pe kiʻi mālōlō ʻo fakakaukauloto kiate Ia mo e ngaahi fatongia ʻokú Ne fakahoko ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. Kamata ʻaki haʻo fakakaukau ki he ngaahi ʻulungaanga, ngaahi fatongia, mo e ngaahi huafa ʻo Kalaisi kuó ke ako ki aí.

Fakakaukau ke fakaʻaongaʻi ha potufolofola ko ha kaveinga ki he meʻa ʻokú ke faʻú. ʻI he ʻekitivitī ko ʻení, te ke lava ʻo fai ha taha ʻo e ngaahi ngāue ko ʻení:

  • Faʻu ha fakatātā fakaʻaati ko ha fakafofonga ʻo ha ʻulungaanga, ha fatongia, ha hingoa, pe ko ha huafa fakanofo ʻo Kalaisi ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻingamālie kiate koe, pea ʻomai ha fakamatala ʻo e meʻa naʻá ke faʻú.

Fakaʻaongaʻi ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú ʻi he meʻa ʻokú ke faʻú. ʻE lava ke fakahū ha ngaahi sīpinga ʻe niʻihi ki he tohinoá, fakatātā fakaʻaati, pe ko ha vitiō kuo ʻētitaʻi ʻo e meʻa naʻa nau vahevahé.

Fili E: Ko ha talateu kia Sīsū Kalaisi

Faʻu ha lisi ʻo e ngaahi huafa fakanofo ʻe tolu ʻo e Fakamoʻuí te ke fakaʻaongaʻi ke fakafeʻiloaki ʻaki ha taha kia Sīsū Kalaisi. Feinga ke ʻiloʻi pea fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi potufolofola naʻá ke maʻu ai kinautolú. Fakakau ha fakamatala nounou ʻo e ʻuhinga ʻo e huafa fakanofo takitaha mo e founga naʻe mei kehe ai ‘a e moʻui ʻa ha taha kapau naʻa nau ʻiloʻi hono mahuʻinga ʻo e ngaahi huafa fakanofo ko ʻení.

Fakakau ha talanoa mei he folofolá pe aʻusia fakatāutaha ʻa ia ʻoku fakaʻaliʻali ai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻa e huafa fakanofo takitaha naʻá ke filí. Hangē ko ʻení, te ke lava ʻo hiki ʻa e hingoa “ʻImanuela,” ʻa ia ko hono ʻuhingá ko e “ʻOtua ʻiate kitautolu” (Mātiu 1:23). Te ke lava ʻo ʻiloʻi ha ngaahi sīpinga mei hoʻo moʻuí pe moʻui ʻa e niʻihi kehe naʻe “ʻiate” koe pe ko kinautolu ʻa e Fakamoʻuí.

ʻE lava ke fakakakato ʻa e ʻekitivitī ko ʻení ko ha fakatātā fakaʻaati (hangē ko ha tā fakatātā, tā valivali, pe tā-tongitongi) pe ʻi ha tohi pē. Fakakaukau ke kumi ha ngaahi founga ke hokohoko atu ai hono kumi e ngaahi huafa fakanofo ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻi hoʻo ako e Fuakava Foʻoú he taʻu ní.

Fakakaukau ke fakaʻosi e kalasí ʻaki haʻo fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisi. ʻE ala tokoni ke tukutaha ʻa e fakamoʻoni ko ʻení ʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi fatongia mo e ngaahi huafa fakanofo naʻe aleaʻi ʻi he lēsoni ko ʻení.
