ʻOku ʻUhinga Ki He Hā ʻa e Hoko ko ha Kakai ʻo e Fuakavá?

ʻI heʻetau hoko ko e kau mēmipa ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, ʻoku ʻiloa ai kitautolu ko e kakai fuakava ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní (vakai 1 Nīfai 14:14).

ʻI heʻetau fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi fuakava toputapu mo Ia ʻi he papitaisó pea ʻi he temipalé, ʻoku talaʻofa mai ai ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku fekauʻaki mo e fuakava naʻe fai ʻe Sihova mo ʻĒpalahame ʻi he kuonga muʻá (vakai Sēnesi 17:4–8; ʻĒpalahame 2:10–11; Bible Dictionary, “Abraham, covenant of”). ʻOku kau ʻi he ongo tāpuaki ko ʻení ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo e tupulaki taʻengatá. ʻI heʻetau hoko ko e kāingalotu fuakava ʻo e Siasí, te tau lava foki ʻo maʻu

• ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ko hotau takaua maʻu ai pē,

• ko e faingamālie ke toe nofo fakataha mo e Tamai Hēvaní,

• ko e tāpuaki ʻo e silaʻi ki hotau ngaahi fāmilí ki he taʻengatá,

• hakeakiʻi ʻo fakafou ʻi he Fakamoʻuí mo ʻEne Fakaleleí, pea

• “ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku maʻu ʻe [he] Tamaí” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 84:38; vakai foki veesi 33–34).

Naʻe lea ʻa ʻEletā D. Tooti Kulisitofasoni ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ki ha talaʻofa mālohi fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fuakavá: “ʻOku mahulu hake e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakahoko ʻe he ngaahi fuakava ʻoku fakahoko ʻe he ʻOtuá mo ʻEne fānaú, ʻi hono tataki pē kitautolú. ʻOku nau haʻi kitautolu kiate Ia, pea ʻi he haʻi kiate Iá, te tau lava ʻo ikunaʻi e meʻa kotoa pē.”¹

Te tau lava ʻo ikunaʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he tauhi fuakavá.

Ko ha moʻoni mālohi ia!

Ka ko e hoko ko e kau tauhi fuakavá ʻoku ʻikai ko hono maʻu pē ʻo e ngaahi tāpuakí maʻatautolu. ʻOku haʻu fakataha foki ia mo ha fatongia ke tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau maʻu e ngaahi tāpuaki ko iá. Kuo foaki mai ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní kiate kitautolu ʻa e fatongia, mālohi, mo e mafai ke fai ʻa e ngāue kuó Ne tuku mai kiate kitautolú—ke ʻomi kotoa ʻEne fānaú ki he moʻoni ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻI heʻetau hoko ko e kakai ʻo e fuakavá, ʻoku tau takitaha maʻu ʻa e faingamālie mo e mālohi ke paotoloaki e ngāue mo e nāunau ʻo e Tamai Hēvaní ʻaki ʻetau kau ʻi he ngāue ʻo e fakamoʻuí mo e hakeakiʻí ʻo fakafou ʻi he ngaahi meʻá ni:

• “Ko Hono Moʻui ʻAki e Ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.

• Tokangaʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku faingataʻaʻiá.

• Fakaafeʻi ʻa e taha kotoa ke nau maʻu e ongoongoleleí.

• Ko Hono Fakatahaʻi ʻo e Ngaahi Fāmilí ke Taʻengatá.”²

ʻI heʻetau hoko ko e kakai fuakava ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku tau maʻu ai e ngaahi tāpuaki taʻengata. Tau fai muʻa hotau fatongiá ke vahevahe ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ko iá mo kinautolu ʻoku teʻeki ke nau ʻilo ʻa e moʻoní. ʻOku fakafiefia moʻoni ke aʻusia ʻa e meʻa ʻe lava ʻe heʻetau fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi fuakava toputapu mo ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo fai maʻa ʻetau moʻuí.

Ko e lea ʻeni ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní fekauʻaki mo e ʻuhinga kiate kinautolu ʻa e hoko ko ha konga ʻo ha kakai ʻo e fuakavá.

ʻOku ʻafioʻi ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ʻoku ʻikai ke tau haohaoa. Ka neongo pe ko e fē feituʻu ʻoku tau ʻi ai ʻi heʻetau fononga ko e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻi heʻetau feinga ke fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi fuakava toputapú, te tau lava ʻo aʻusia e kakato ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí pea mo e fiefia mo e ngaahi tāpuaki taʻe-hano-tatau kuo talaʻofa mai kiate kitautolú, ʻo hangē ko e Kāingalotu faivelenga ʻi ʻolungá.

Hangē ko ia kuo fakaafe mo palōmesi mai ʻaki ʻe Lāsolo M. Nalesoní: “Nofo maʻu ʻi he hala ʻo e fuakavá. ʻE hanga ʻe hoʻo tukupā ke muimui ki he Fakamoʻuí ʻaki hono fakahoko ha ngaahi fuakava mo Iá pea tauhi e ngaahi fuakava ko iá, ʻo fakaava e matapā ki he tāpuaki fakalaumālie mo e faingamālie kotoa pē ʻe lava ke maʻu ʻe he kakai tangata, fafine, mo e fānau he feituʻu kotoa pē.”³
