Ngāue Fakaetauhi ʻi he ʻIlo Lahi Ange

ʻI he tupu ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, naʻá Ne “mālohi ʻi he laumālié, pea fonu ia ʻi he potó: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá” (Luke 2:40). ʻOku ʻuhinga e foʻi lea ko e tupú ke tupulaki māmālie, ʻo hangē ko e tupulaki ʻa e māhiná ke kakato ange ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e māhiná. ʻOku tau ʻiloʻi naʻe “tupulaki ʻa e potó ʻia Sīsū mo e lahí, pea naʻe ʻofeina ia ʻe he ʻOtuá mo e tangatá” (Luke 2:52). Naʻe ʻikai fakafokifā pē kuo maʻu ʻe Sīsū ha ʻilo kakato—ka naʻá Ne maʻu ia ʻi ha taimi lahi (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 93:12–14).

ʻI he taʻu 12 ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe ʻilo Ia ʻe Heʻene ongomātuʻá ʻi he temipalé—ko e feituʻu tefito ia ʻo e moihū ʻi Selusalemá—“ʻoku nofo ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e kau akonakí pea naʻa nau fanongo kiate ia mo fai ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi kiate ia” (Liliu Siosefa Sāmita, Luke 2:46). Koeʻuhí naʻe hoko ʻa e akó ko ha konga mahuʻinga ʻo ʻEne tupulakí, pea ʻi he taimi naʻe maʻu ai ʻa e faingamālie ke akoʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻi he temipalé, naʻá Ne ʻosi mateuteu. Naʻe fakaofo e ola ʻo ʻEne faiako ʻi aí kiate kinautolu pea mo ʻene ongomātuʻá.

Ko ha founga ʻeni ʻe tolu ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ʻi hono fakatupulaki e ʻulungaanga faka-Kalaisi ʻo e ʻiló ʻi heʻetau ngāue fakaetauhí:

1. ʻI he fakaʻau ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mo ako ki Hono ngaahi ʻulungāngá, te tau ʻiloʻi lelei ange ai ʻa e meʻa te Ne fai ke ngāue fakaetauhi ai ʻi hotau tuʻungá.

2. ʻI heʻetau fakatupulaki ʻetau ʻilo mo e mahino ki he ongoongoleleí, te tau ʻi ha tuʻunga lelei ange ai ke fakamanatu mai ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní kiate kitautolu ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau fiemaʻú ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ai iá (vakai, Sione 14:26). ʻE lava ke tokoni ʻeni ke mahino kiate kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻa kinautolu ʻoku tau ngāue fakaetauhi ki aí mo tali ʻenau ngaahi fehuʻí pe ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau hohaʻa ki aí.

3. ʻI heʻetau fakatupulaki ʻetau malava ke akó, te tau malava lelei ange ai ke fakafehokotaki pe tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé. Te tau lava ʻo ako lahi ange fekauʻaki mo ha kaveinga ke fakafehokotaki mo ha kaungāmeʻa ʻoku fie ʻilo ki ai. Pe te tau ako ha ngaahi pōtoʻi ngāue ʻe lava ʻo tokoni ke feau ha fiemaʻu.

ʻE lava ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he maʻu ʻo e ʻiló ke tau ngāue fakaetauhi ʻi ha ngaahi founga lahi. Makehe mei aí, “ʻIlonga ha tefito ʻo e potó ʻoku tau lava ʻo maʻu ʻi he moʻui ko ʻení, te tau toe tuʻu hake pē mo ia ʻi he toetuʻú” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava130:18).
