Ko e faleʻi ʻe Sēmisi e Kāingalotú ke nau ʻunu ofi ange ki he ʻOtuá pea ke tekeʻi ʻa e tēvoló
Fakakaukau ki ha mēmipa ʻo ho fāmilí pe kaungāmeʻa ʻokú ke ongoʻi vāofi mo ia. Ko e hā ʻokú ke ongoʻi ofi ai ki he tokotahá ni?

Fakakaukau leva pe ʻokú ke ongoʻi ofi fēfē ki he ʻOtuá. ʻE tāpuekina fēfē hoʻo moʻuí ʻi hono maʻu ha vā fetuʻutaki mālohi mo e ʻOtuá?
ʻI hoʻo ako e Sēmisi 4, kumi e ngaahi moʻoni ʻe lava ʻo tokoni atu ke fakamālohia hoʻo vā fetuʻutaki mo e ʻOtuá.
Hangē ko ia ʻoku lekooti ʻi he Sēmisi 4:1–3, naʻe valokiʻi ʻe Sēmisi e Kāingalotú ʻi heʻenau moʻulaloa ki he ngaahi holi fakamāmaní. Lau e Sēmisi 4:4, ʻo kumi e faʻahinga feohi fakakaungāmeʻa naʻe fakatokanga ki ai ʻa Sēmisi ki he Kāingalotú. ʻOku ʻuhinga e foʻi lea tāufehiʻa ki he fakafili.
ʻOku ʻikai ʻuhinga e faleʻi ʻa Sēmisi ʻi he veesi 4 ʻoku totonu ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he feohi mo e kakai ʻoku ʻikai ko e mēmipa ʻo e Siasí.

ʻAi ha lisi ʻo e meʻa te ke lava ʻo fai ke ʻunu ofi ai ki he ʻOtuá, ʻi hoʻo tohinoa ako folofolá .
Ko e founga ʻe taha te ke lava ʻo ʻunu ofi ai ki he ʻOtuá ko hoʻo muimui he faleʻi ʻa Paula ke “fakamaʻa homou nimá” mo “fakamaʻa mo homou lotó” (Sēmisi 4:8). Hangē ko hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻi he ngaahi folofolá, ʻe lava ke fakafofongaʻi ʻe he nimá ʻa ʻetau ngaahi ngāué pea fakafofongaʻi ʻe he lotó ʻetau ngaahi holí. Fakalaulauloto ki he founga ʻe lava ke tokoni atu ai hono maʻu ha nima mo ha loto maʻá ke ke ʻunuʻunu ofi ange ai ki he ʻOtuá.

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻoku hoko ai e ʻiloʻi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻa ia ʻoku totonu ke tau fai katau fili ke ʻoua ʻe fai kinautolú ko ha angahala?

Sēmisi 5
ʻOku akoʻi ʻe Sēmisi e Kāingalotú ke nau kātakiʻi ʻa e faingataʻá ʻi he faʻa kātaki mo fakahinohinoʻi ʻa e mahakí ke nau ui ki he kaumātuʻá
Naʻa tau lau ʻi he Sēmisi 5:1–6, naʻe fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻe he ʻAposetolo ko Sēmisí e kau tuʻumālie ne ngāue hala ʻaki ʻenau koloá mo fakatangaʻi e kau angatonú. Naʻá ne fakatokanga kiate kinautolu ʻoku tatali mai ʻa e mamahí mo e fakamāú.
Lau ʻa e Sēmisi 5:7–11, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻe Sēmisi e Kāingalotú ke nau fai ʻi heʻenau fehangahangai mo e faingataʻá lolotonga e tatali ki he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.
ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he ngaahi vēsí ni e vā fetuʻutaki ʻo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí mo e faʻa kātakí mo e founga ʻoku tali ʻaki ʻe he kau tui faivelenga, hangē ko Siopé, ʻa e mamahí mo e faingataʻá. Fakatokangaʻi ange ʻi he Sēmisi 5:10 pe ko hai ʻe lava ke hanga ki ai e Kāingalotú ki ha ngaahi sīpinga ʻo e kakai naʻa nau kātekina ʻa e faingataʻá ʻi he faʻa kātaki.
Hiki ha ngaahi sīpinga mei he folofolá ʻo e kau palōfita naʻa nau kātakiʻi e faingataʻá ʻi he faʻa kātaki:
Fakakaukau ki he faleʻi te ke ʻoange ki ha kaungāmeʻa naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ongoʻi faingataʻaʻia. Kuo laka hake he uike ʻe tahá ʻeku puké. Kuó u ʻalu ki ha toketā pea folo mo e foʻiʻakau, ka ʻoku teʻeki pē ke u ongoʻi sai. ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ha toe meʻa ke fai.”
Lau e Sēmisi 5:13–16, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe faleʻi ʻe Sēmisi ʻa kinautolu naʻe puke mo faingataʻaʻiá ke nau faí.
Naʻe akonaki ʻa ʻEletā Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē, “ʻI hono pani ʻe ha kaumātuʻa ha tokotaha puke pea fakamaʻu ʻa e pani ko iá, ʻoku nau fakaava e ngaahi matapā ʻo e langí ke lilingi hifo ʻa e tāpuaki ʻa e ʻEikí maʻá e tokotaha faingataʻaʻiá” (“Fakamoʻui ʻo e Mahakí,” Ensign pe Liahona, Mē 2010, 48).
Toe vakai ki he Sēmisi 5:15. Makehe mei he mālohi ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, ko e hā mo ha toe meʻa naʻe pehē ʻe Sēmisi te ne fakahaofi pe fakamoʻui e mahakí?
Ko e moʻoni ʻe taha te tau lava ʻo ako mei he Sēmisi 5:14–16 ko e lava ʻo fakamoʻui e mahakí, ʻo fakafou ʻi he lotu ʻo e tuí mo e mālohi ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.
Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā ʻOakesi ʻa e meʻá ni fekauʻaki mo e lotu ʻi he tuí mo e mālohi faifakamoʻui ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí:
“ʻI heʻetau fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e mālohi taʻe toe fehuʻia ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻo e ʻOtuá pea ʻi heʻetau koloa ʻaki ʻEne ngaahi talaʻofá ʻo ʻilo te Ne fanongo mo tali ʻa e lotu ʻi he tuí, kuo pau ke tau manatuʻi maʻu pē ko e tuí mo e mālohi ʻo e fakamoʻui mahaki ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí he ʻikai lava ke maʻu ha ola ʻe fehangahangai mo e finangalo ʻo Ia ʻoku ʻoʻona ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. …
“… Neongo ʻetau hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi Hono mālohi fakalangí ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoku feʻunga ai e tui ke faifakamoʻuí, ʻe ʻikai lava ʻe ha tāpuaki lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻo fakamoʻui ha tokotaha ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke finangalo ʻa e ʻEikí ki he fakamoʻui ko iá.
“ʻI heʻetau hoko ko e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku tau falala kiate Ia ʻi heʻetau ʻilo ʻEne ʻofa maʻongoʻonga pea mo ʻEne tokaimaʻananga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei taha ki heʻetau lelei taʻengatá. Ko e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻuluaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí ko e tui ki he ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, pea ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e tuí ki he loto-falala. Naʻá ku ongoʻi ʻa e loto-falala ko iá ʻi he lea hoku tokouá ʻi ha meʻafakaʻeiki ʻo ha kiʻi finemui naʻe mate tupu mei ha puke lahi ʻaupito. Naʻá ne lea ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea ko ʻení ʻa ia naʻá ne tomuʻa fakaʻohovaleʻi au pea toki fakamāmaʻi kimui hoku ʻatamaí: ʻʻOku ou ʻilo ko e finangalo ia ʻo e ʻEikí ke ne mate. Naʻe lelei hono tauhi fakafaitoʻó. Naʻe fakahoko kiate ia ha faingāue. Naʻe hiki hono hingoá ʻi he lisi ʻo e lotú ʻi he temipalé. Naʻe fakahoko ha lotu ʻe laungeau ke fakamoʻui ia. Pea naʻá ku ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻi ai ha tui feʻunga ʻa e fāmilí ʻe fakamoʻui ia tukukehe kapau ko e finangalo ia ʻo e ʻEikí ke ʻave ia ki ʻapi ʻi he taimí ni.’ Naʻá ku toe ongoʻi ʻa e loto-falala tatau ʻi he lea ʻa ha tamai ʻa ha kiʻi finemui taʻu hongofulu tupu ne toki mālōlō ko e tupu mei he kanisaá.

ʻOku tokoni fēfē e ngaahi akonaki ʻa ʻEletā ʻOakesí ke mahino kiate koe ʻa e mālohi faifakamoʻui ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí? Ko e hā ʻoku fie maʻu ai ke fenāpasi ʻetau tuí mo e lotú pea mo e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá? (Vakai, Fakahinohino ki he Folofolá, “Lotú,” scriptures.lds.org)

Naʻe fakafehoanaki foki ʻe Sēmisi ʻa hono fakamoʻui ʻo e mahakí ki he fakamolemole ʻo e angahalá (vakai, Sēmisi 5:16).
Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Pulusi R. Makongikī ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ko e loto-fakatōkilalo mo e tui naʻe fie maʻu ke fakamoʻui fakatuʻasino ai kitautolú ʻa e loto fakatōkilalo mo e tui tatau naʻe fie maʻu ke tau maʻu ai e fakamolemolé: “ʻOku ʻi ai … ha ngaahi meʻa toputapu ʻoku monūʻia ai e tangatá ke ʻalu hake ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga fakalaumālie ko ia ʻoku nau maʻu ai e fakangofua fakatonuhia ʻo e Laumālié ki honau ʻulungāngá pea ko hono olá ʻoku fakamolemoleʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi angahalá. Naʻe ui ʻe Sēmisi ʻa e ouau ʻo e faingāue ki he mahakí ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻá ni. … Ko e tokotaha ko ia ʻi he tuí, mateakí, anga-māʻoniʻoní, mo e moʻui taau fakatāutahá, ʻoku ʻi ha tuʻunga ke fakamoʻuí, ʻokú ne ʻi ha tuʻunga foki ke maʻu e fakangofua fakatonuhia ʻo e Laumālié ki heʻene moʻuí, pea ʻoku fakamolemoleʻi ʻene ngaahi angahalá, ʻo fakamoʻoniʻi ʻi he moʻoni ko ia ʻokú ne maʻu e takaua ʻo e Laumālié, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo maʻu ʻo kapau naʻe taʻetaau” (Mormon Doctrine, 2nd ed. [1966], 297–98).
Ka neongo ia, ʻoku ʻikai ʻuhinga ʻeni ʻoku taʻetaau ha taha naʻe ʻikai fakamoʻui ʻi hono foaki ange ha tāpuaki lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. ʻOku foaki ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki he mahino lahi ange ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea te tau lava ʻo ongoʻi ʻEne ʻofá mo e nonga ʻo e Laumālié ʻi hono fakapapauʻi ʻetau moʻui tāú.
Hangē ko ia naʻe lekooti ʻi he Sēmisi 5:17–20, naʻe fakamatala ʻa Sēmisi ki he palōfita ko ʻIlaisiaá ko ha sīpinga ʻo ha taha naʻá ne fakaʻaongaʻi e mālohi ʻo e lotu fakamātoató. Naʻá ne toe faleʻi foki e Kāingalotú ke tokoni ki he kau angahalá ke fakatomala. Fakatokangaʻi ange ʻi he Sēmisi 5:20 ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki naʻe talaʻofa mai kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau “[fakaului] ʻa e angahalá mei hono hala hēheé.”
