Ke aʻusia e ikuʻanga fakafiefia ko ʻení, ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe he ngaahi fono taʻengatá ʻa e pau ke tau maʻa mei he ngaahi angahalá ʻo fakafou he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí koeʻuhi ke tau lava ʻo nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Tamaí mo e ʻAló pea fiefia ʻi he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e hakeakiʻí. ʻOku akoʻi ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻokú Ne fakaafeʻi “ʻa kinautolu kotoa pē ke nau haʻu kiate ia ʻo maʻu ʻi heʻene angaleleí; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne taʻofi ha tokotaha ʻoku haʻu kiate ia, pe ko ha ʻuliʻuli pe hinehina, pe ko ha pōpula pe tauʻatāina, pe ko ha tangata pe fefine; pea ʻokú ne manatuʻi ʻa e kau hītení; pea ʻoku tatau ʻa e kakai fulipē ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá.” (2 Nīfai 26:33; vakai foki, ʻAlamā 5:49).

ʻOku fie maʻu ʻe he palani fakalangi ke tau aʻusia e ikuʻanga ʻoku totonu ke tau ʻi aí ke tau fai ha ngaahi fili ke fakafisingaʻi e ʻahiʻahi ʻa e filí ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakataueleʻi e matelié ke fai e tōʻonga ʻoku fepaki mo e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá mo ʻEne palaní. ʻOku fie maʻu foki ke tau moʻulaloa ki he fakafepaki fakamatelie kehé, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa e niʻihi kehé pe ko kinautolu ne fanauʻi mai ʻoku ʻi ai honau melé.

ʻOku fakahā mai ʻe he palaní hotau ikuʻanga ʻi he taʻengatá, ʻa e taumuʻa mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo ʻetau fononga fakamatelié, mo e ngaahi tokoni fakalangi te tau maʻú. ʻOku fakatokanga mai e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ʻoua naʻatau hē ki ha ngaahi tūkunga ʻoku fakatuʻutāmaki. ʻOku tataki ʻetau fonongá ʻe he ngaahi akonaki ʻa e kau taki kuo ueʻi fakalaumālie mo ʻomi e fakapapau te ne tokoniʻi ʻetau fononga taʻengatá.

ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he palani ʻa e ʻOtuá ha fakapapau lalahi ʻe fā ke tokoniʻi ʻetau fononga fakamatelié. ʻOku hoko kotoa ʻeni kiate kitautolu ʻi he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ko e uho ʻo e palaní. Ko e ʻuluaki ko hono fakapapauʻi mai kiate kitautolu ʻe lava ke tau maʻa mei he ngaahi angahalá ʻo fakafou Heʻene mamahi maʻá e ngaahi angahala kuo tau fakatomala mei aí. Pea ʻi he fakamaau aofangatuku mo manavaʻofá he “ʻikai ke toe manatu ki ai” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá 58:42).

Ko honouá, ko e konga e Fakalelei hotau Fakamoʻuí, ko ʻEne toʻo kiate Ia e ngaahi vaivai fakamatelie kehe kotoa pē. ʻOkú ne fakaʻatā kitautolu ke maʻu e tokoni fakalangi pea maʻu ha mālohi ke fuesia e ngaahi haʻahaʻa ʻo e moʻui fakamatelie kuo pau ke hoko maí, fakataautaha mo fakalūkufua, kuo pau ke hoko maí ʻo hangē ko e taú mo e mahaki fakaʻauhá. ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná e fakamatala fakafolofola mahino taha ki he ivi mahuʻinga ko ʻeni ʻo e Fakaleleí. Ne toʻo ʻe he Fakamoʻuí kiate Ia “e mamahi mo e mahamahaki [mo e ngaahi vaivai] ʻa hono kakaí. … Te Ne toʻo kiate ia ʻa honau ngaahi vaivaí, koeʻuhi ke fonu hono lotó ʻi he ʻaloʻofa, ʻo fakatatau ki he kakanó, koeʻuhí ke ne ʻafioʻi ʻo fakatatau ki he kakanó ʻa e founga ke tokoniʻi ai ʻa hono kakaí ʻo fakatatau ki honau ngaahi vaivaí” ( ʻAlamā 7:11-12

Ko honotolú, ʻoku fakangata ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻo fakafou mai ʻi Heʻene Fakalelei taʻefakangatangatá e hoko ʻa e maté ko e ngataʻangá mo ʻomi ha fiefia pau kiate kitautolu te tau toetuʻu hono kotoa. ʻOku akoʻi mai ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, “‘Ko ʻeni, ʻe hoko ʻa e toe fakafoki ko ʻení ki he kakai fulipē, ʻa e kakai motuʻa mo e kau talavou fakatouʻosi, ʻa e pōpula mo e tauʻatāina fakatouʻosi, ʻa e tangata mo e fefine, ʻa e kau fai angahala mo e kau māʻoniʻoni, pea naʻa mo e tuʻoni louʻulu ʻe tahá ʻe ʻikai mole ia mei honau ʻulú; ka ʻe toe fakafoki ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ki hono tuʻunga haohaoá’ ( ʻAlamā 11:44

ʻOku tau fakafiefiaʻi hono moʻoni ʻo e Toetuʻú ʻi he faʻahitaʻu Toetuʻu ko ʻení. ʻOkú ne ʻomi e fakaukau mo e mālohi ke kātakiʻi ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e moʻui fakamatelie ʻoku tau takitaha fehangahangai mo iá pea mo kinautolu ʻoku tau ʻofa aí, hangē ko e ngaahi tōnounou fakatuʻasino, fakaʻatamai, pe fakaeloto ʻoku tau omi mo ia ʻi hono fāʻeleʻi kitautolú pe aʻusia lolotonga ʻetau moʻui fakamatelié. Koeʻuhí ko e Toetuʻú, ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku fakataimi pē ʻa e ngaahi palopalema fakamatelie ko ʻení!

Ko ha fakalotolahi mālohi ʻeni ke tau fakahoko hotau ngaahi fatongia fakafāmili he moʻui fakamatelié. ʻOku tokoni ia ke tau nofo fakataha ʻi he ʻofa ʻi he moʻui ko ʻení ʻo ʻamanaki atu ki ha fakataha fiefia mo e feohi ʻi he moʻui ka hokó.

Ko hono faá mo e fakaʻosí, ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe he fakahā ʻo onopōní ʻoku ʻikai fie maʻu ke ngata ʻetau fakalakalaká ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié. Kuo siʻi ha meʻa kuo fakahā fekauʻaki mo e fakapapauʻi mahuʻinga ko ʻení. ʻOku talamai ko e moʻuí ni ko e taimi ia ke teuteu ke feʻiloaki ai mo e ʻOtuá pea ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke fakatoloi ʻetau fakatomalá (vakai, ʻAlamā 34:32–33). Ka neongo ia, ʻoku kei akoʻi pē kitautolu ʻoku malangaʻi e ongoongoleleí ʻi he maama tataliʻanga ʻo e ngaahi laumālié “ki he kau faiangahalá mo e kau talangataʻá ʻa ia naʻa nau fakafisinga ʻa e moʻoní” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 138:29) pea ko kinautolu ʻoku akoʻi aí ʻoku malava ke nau fakatomala kimuʻa he Fakamaau Fakaʻosí (vakai, veesi 31–34, 57–59).

Ko ha toe ngaahi tefito kehe ʻeni ʻo e palani ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní:

ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi kuo fakafoki maí ha fakakaukau makehe ki he ngaahi kaveinga hangē ko e angamaʻá, nofo-malí, pea mo hono fāʻelei mai ʻo e fānaú. ʻOkú ne akoʻi ʻoku fie maʻu e nofo-malí ki hono fakahoko e taumuʻa e palani ʻa e ʻOtuá, ke fakahoko ‘a e fokotuʻutuʻu fakalangi kuo tuʻutuʻuni ki he tūkunga ki he fanauʻi fakamatelié, mo hono teuteuʻi e kau mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí ki he moʻui taʻengatá.
