“ʻOku faingofua ange ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ʻahiʻahí ʻi hono fakafepakiʻi iá” (Elder Lynn G. Robbins).

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e Fakahā 17:1. Kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe pehē ʻe he taha ʻo e kau ʻāngelo ʻe fitú te ne fakahā kia Sioné.

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke lau fakalongolongo e Fakahā 17:15, ʻo kumi e meʻa ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he ngaahi vai lahí.

Fakaafeʻi ha kau ako tokosiʻi ke taufetongi ʻi hono lau leʻolahi e Fakahā 17:2–6. Kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e ngaahi lea mo e kupuʻi lea ʻoku nau fakamatalaʻi e fefiné mo hono ivi tākiekina ʻi he māmaní.

(ʻI he kotoa ʻo e kuonga ʻi he hisitōliá, kuo tāmateʻi ha kakai māʻoniʻoni tokolahi ʻe he kau faiangahalá, pea ʻoku fokotuʻu mai ʻe he ngaahi lea mei he folofolá naʻe ʻi ai ha nunuʻa kona ʻo hono tāmateʻi ʻo e kau māʻoniʻoní ʻiate kinautolu ne fakahoko e tāmaté.)

Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻe lava ke fakafofongaʻi ʻe he manu fekai naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻi he veesi 3 ʻa Loma ʻi he kuonga ʻo Sioné pea pehē ki he ngaahi puleʻanga mo e ngaahi fonua kovi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí (vakai, Fakahā 17:8–13).

Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku ʻuhinga e “kolo lahí” (veesi 18) ki he Pāpilone fakalaumālié (vakai, T&F133:14). Koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi meʻa fakamāmaní mo e kovi ʻo Pāpilone he kuonga muʻá, pea koeʻuhí ko ha feituʻu ia naʻe pōpula ai e fānau ʻa ʻIsilelí, ʻoku faʻa fakaʻaongaʻi ʻi he heliaki ʻa Pāpilone ʻi he folofolá ke fakafofongaʻi e angahalá, anga fakamāmaní, mo e ivi tākiekina ʻo e tēvoló ʻi he māmaní, mo e pōpula fakalaumālié (vakai foki, 1 Nīfai 13:1–9; 14:9–10).

“ʻI he kuonga fakakosipeli ko ʻení ʻe hāʻele mai e Tangata Taʻané, ʻa ia ko e Lami ʻa e ʻOtuá, ke maʻu ʻa hono malí, ʻa ia ko e Siasi ʻoku kau ai ʻa e kāingalotu faivelenga kuo nau maʻu tokanga ki heʻene toe hāʻele maí” (Mormon Doctrine, 2nd ed. [1966], 469).

  • Ko e hā ha ngaahi founga ʻoku hoko ai e nofo-malí ko ha fakataipe ʻo hotau vā fetuʻutaki ʻi he fuakavá mo Sīsū Kalaisí? (Te ke fakamatalaʻi ange ko e malí ko ha vā fetuʻutaki ʻoku fie maʻu ki ai e faivelengá, feilaulaú, ʻofá, tukupā, mo e falalá.)

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e Fakahā 19:8–9. Kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e meʻa ʻe lava ke fai ʻe he Kāingalotú ke nau mateuteu ai ki he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí.

(Hili e tali ʻa e kau akó, hiki e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé: Kapau ʻoku tau maʻa mo angatonu, te tau mateuteu leva ki he hāʻele mai ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí.)

Kole ki he kau akó ke nau lipooti e meʻa ʻoku nau maʻú.

Fakamatalaʻi ange ko e hoosi hinehina naʻe fakamatala ki ai ʻi he veesi 11 ko ha fakataipe ia ʻo e ikuna. ʻE hāʻele mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke ikunaʻi e angahalá mo e faiangahalá.
