ʻI he Vaeuaʻanga Mālié Maʻu pē

Ko e taimi ʻoku ou lea ai ki heʻetau kau faifekau kei talavoú, ʻoku ou faʻa talaange ʻoku nau lolotonga ngāue fakafaifekau. Tatau ai pē pe ne nau toki tau mai he ʻaho ki muʻá pe ko ʻenau teu foki ki ʻapi ʻi ha ʻosi ha ʻaho ʻe taha, ka ʻoku ou kole ange ke nau fakakaukau ʻoku nau ʻi loto mālie maʻu pē.

Mahalo ʻe fakakaukau ʻa e kau faifekau foʻoú ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fuʻu taukei ke maʻu ha ola, pea ʻoku nau fakatoloi leva ʻenau leá pe ngāue lotolahi mo taʻeufí. ʻE lava ke loto mamahi ʻa e kau faifekau taukei ʻoku mei ʻosi ʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú, pe te nau kiʻi lepa ai ʻi heʻenau fakakaukau atu pe ko e hā te nau fai ʻi he ʻosi ʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú.

Tatau ai pē pe ko e hā e tūkunga ʻoku nau ʻi aí mo e feituʻu ʻoku nau ngāue aí, ko hono moʻoní ʻoku tūtuuʻi fakaʻaho ʻe he kau faifekau ʻa e ʻEikí ha ngaahi tenga taʻefaʻalaua ʻo e ongoongo fakafiefiá. ʻE hanga ʻe heʻenau fakakaukau ʻoku nau ʻi he vaeuaʻanga mālie ʻo ʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻo fakalotolahiʻi mo fakaivia e kau fakafofonga faitotonu ko ʻeni ʻo e ʻEikí. Hangē ko ia ʻoku hoko ʻi he kau faifekau taimi kakató, ʻoku pehē pe mo kitautolu kotoa foki.

Ko e liliu ko ʻeni he fakakaukaú ʻoku ʻikai ko ha kiʻi mafuli pē ʻo e ʻatamaí. ʻOku ʻi ai ha moʻoni māʻolunga ʻi he foʻi fakakaukau ko ia ʻoku tau ʻi he vaeuaʻanga mālié maʻu peé. Kapau te tau vakai ki hotau tuʻuʻangá ʻi ha mape, ʻoku ueʻi kitautolu ke tau pehē ʻoku tau ʻi he kamataʻangá. Ka, kapau te tau vakai fakalelei, ko e fē pē feituʻu ʻoku tau ʻi aí, ʻoku hoko ia ko e vaeuaʻanga mālie ʻo ha feituʻu ʻoku lahi ange.

Hangē ko e vavaá, ʻoku pehē pē mo e taimí. Te tau ala fakakaukau ʻoku tau ʻi he kamataʻanga pe fakaʻosinga ʻo ʻetau moʻuí, ka ʻi heʻetau vakai ki hotau tuʻungá ʻi hono fakahoa mo ʻitānití—ʻi heʻetau fakatokangaʻi ne moʻui hotau laumālié ʻi ha taimi ʻoku ʻikai ke tau malava ʻo fua pea—tuʻunga ʻi he feilaulau haohaoa mo e Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻe moʻui hotau laumālié ʻo aʻu ki ʻitāniti—te tau lava leva ʻo fakatokangaʻi tā ʻoku tau ʻi he vaeuaʻanga mālié moʻoni.

Ne u ongoʻi ki muí ni mai ke toe fakaleleiʻi ʻa e maka fakamanatu ʻo e faʻitoka ʻo ʻeku ongomātuʻá. Ne hōloa e faʻitoká he fuoloa ʻo e taimí, peá u ongoʻi ʻe taau mo ʻena moʻui tā-sīpinga leleí ke ʻai ha maka fakamanatu foʻou. Ko e taimi ne u vakai ai ki he ʻaho fāʻeleʻi mo e ʻaho mate ʻi he maka fakamanatú ʻa ia naʻe fehokotaki ʻaki e kiʻi laine angamahení, ne fakafonu ʻe he kiʻi fakaʻilongá ni hoku ʻatamaí ʻaki ha ngaahi manatu lelei lahi. Naʻe fakahoʻata mai ʻe he ngaahi manatu mahuʻingá ni taki taha ha mōmeniti ʻi he vaeuaʻnga mālie ʻo e moʻui ʻa ʻeku mātuʻá pea mo e vaeuaʻanga mālie ʻo ʻeku moʻuí.

Tatau ai pē pe ko e hā hotau taʻu motuʻá, feituʻu ʻoku tau ʻi aí, taimi ʻoku hoko ai e ngaahi meʻa heʻetau moʻuí, ʻoku tau ʻi he vaeuaʻanga mālié maʻu pē. Ko e meʻa ʻoku mālié he, te tau ʻi he vaeuaʻanga mālié maʻu pē.

ʻIo, ʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi mōmeniti ʻo e kamataʻanga mo ha ngaahi mōmeniti ʻo e ngataʻanga ʻi heʻetau moʻuí, ka ko ha ngaahi fakaʻilonga pē ʻeni ia ʻi he vaeuaʻanga mālie ʻo ʻetau moʻui taʻengatá. Tatau ai pē pe ʻoku tau ʻi he kamataʻangá pe ikuʻangá, pe ʻoku tau kei talavou pe toulekeleka, ʻe lava ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi kitautolu ki Heʻene ngaahi taumuʻá kapau te tau tuku ki tafaʻaki ha fakakaukau pē ʻokú ne fakangatangata ʻetau malava ke ngāué mo tuku Hono finangaló ke ne oʻi ʻetau moʻuí.

ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tangata Sāmé, “Ko e ʻaho ʻeni kuo ngaohi ʻe [he ʻEikí]; [ʻoku totonu ke] tau fiefia pea nēkeneka aí” (Saame 118:24). ʻOku fakamanatu mai ʻe ʻAmuleki “ko e moʻuí ni ko e taimi ia ki he tangatá ke teuteu ai ke feʻiloaki mo e ʻOtuá; ʻio, vakai ko e ʻaho ʻo e moʻui ní ko e ʻaho ia ke fai ai ʻe he kakaí ʻa ʻenau ngaahi ngāué” (ʻAlamā 34:32; ko e tānaki atu hono fakamamafaʻí). Pea pehē ʻe ha punake, “Ko e Taʻengatá—ʻoku faʻu ʻaki ʻa e Lolotongá.”¹

Ko e ʻuhinga ʻo e ʻi he vaeuaʻanga mālié maʻu peé, he ʻoku ʻikai toe ʻosi ʻa e vaʻingá, ʻikai toe mole ʻa e ʻamanakí, pea ʻikai ko e ngataʻangá pē ʻa e ulungiá. He ʻe tatau ai pē pe ʻoku tau ʻi fē pe ko e hā hotau tūkungá, ʻoku ʻi muʻa ʻiate kitautolu ha kamataʻanga mo ha ikuʻanga ʻoku taʻengata.

ʻOku tau ʻi he vaeuaʻanga mālié maʻu pē.
