ʻOku Tau Tui ʻe Fakafonu ʻe he Siasí ʻa e Māmaní

Naʻe toko ono pē kau mēmipa ʻo e Siasí he taimi naʻe fokotuʻu ai he 1830 ʻi ha kiʻi kolo ʻi Niu ʻIoke, USA. Talu mei ai mo e tupu ʻa e Siasí ʻo aʻu hono tokolahí ki he kāingalotu ʻe toko 15.5 miliona tupu pea mo ha ngaahi uooti mo ha ʻū kolo ʻi ha ngaahi fonua ʻe 150 tupu. Ko e tupulaki ko ʻení, ko hono fakakakato ia e kikite ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá ʻe teka atu e Siasí ʻo kāpui e funga ʻo e māmaní (vakai, Taniela 2:31–45). ʻOku fakatatau e Siasí —ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá he māmaní—ko ha maka “naʻe tā mei he moʻungá taʻe kau ai ha nimá” (Taniela 2:45), ʻo fakahaaʻi ai ko ha ngāue fakaʻotua ʻeni kae ʻikai ko ha ngāue ʻa e tangata.

Neongo ai pē ka kāpui ʻe he Siasí ni ʻa e māmaní, ʻe kei toko siʻi pē hono kāingalotú. Naʻe tomuʻa mamata ʻa Nīfai ki he meʻá ni peá ne tohi ai ʻo kau ki hotau kuongá ʻo pehē, “Naʻá ku mamata ki he siasi ʻo e Lami ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea naʻe tokosiʻi” koeʻuhí ko e faiangahala mo e ngaahi anga fakalieliá (1 Nīfai 14:12). ʻI he fakaofi atu ki he Hāʻeleʻanga Ua mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻe toe fakautuutu ange ai e anga fakalieliá, pea “ʻe fakaʻau ke hōloa ʻa e manakoa ʻo ʻete hoko ko ha mēmipa ʻo e siasí.”¹

Ka naʻe tomuʻa mamata foki ʻa Nīfai ia ko e “siasi ʻo e Lamí, ʻa ia ko e kau māʻoniʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá, naʻa nau ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní foki” (1 Nīfai 14:12) ʻOku lava ke maʻu ʻa e ngaahi uōtí mo e ngaahi koló ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní, pea ʻoku liliu e konifelenisi lahí ki ha ngaahi lea fakafonua ʻe 90 tupu, pea ʻoku feʻunga mo ha kau faifekau taimi kakato ʻe toko 75,000 ʻoku nau vahevahe atu e ongoongoleleí ʻi ha ngaahi misiona ʻe 418. ʻOku mafola foki ʻa e ongoongoleleí ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní ʻo fakafou ʻi he mītia fakasōsialé mo e ngaahi uepisaiti hangē ko e Mormon.org pea mo e LDS.org.

ʻOku mahuʻinga mo lahi e ngaahi feinga ko ʻeni ʻoku faí ka ʻoku faʻa fai fakalongolongo pē. “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku lahi mo fakaofo ʻa e ngāue ko ʻeni ʻa e ʻEikí, ka ʻoku laka atu ia ki muʻa ʻo ʻikai ke fakatokangaʻi hono mahuʻingá ʻe ha tokolahi ʻo e kau taki fakapolitikale, fakafonua, mo fakaako ʻo e māmaní. ʻOku tupulaki fakafoʻituitui mo fakafāmili, fakalongolongo mo ʻikai fuʻu fakatokangaʻi ʻa hono pōpoaki toputapú mo ʻene faitāpuekina e kakaí ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē.”²

ʻOku kei teka atu e maka naʻe kikiteʻi he kuonga muʻá, pea ʻi heʻetau fai hotau fatongiá, ʻe hokohoko atu e mafola ʻa e ongoongoleleí ʻo fakafonu ʻa e māmaní kotoa (vakai, Taniela 2:31–45).
