Ke tokoni ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau toe fakakaukau lahi ange ki he ʻulungaanga mo e fatongia ʻo Mele ʻi he palani ʻa e Tamaí, ʻe lava ke ke huluʻi e vitiō “An Angel Forcetells Christʻs Birth to Mary” mo e “Mary and Elisabeth Rejoice Together” ʻi he (LDS.org) pe lau fakataha ʻa e Luke 1:26–38, 46–56, ʻo kumi e lea ʻa Mele ʻokú ne fakahā ha meʻa fekauʻaki mo hono ʻulungāngá. Ko e hā mo ha toe meʻa ʻoku tau ako fekauʻaki mo Mele? Ko e hā te ne lava ʻo akoʻi mai fekauʻaki mo hono tali e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá?

Mahalo ʻoku ʻi ai ha niʻihi ʻi hoʻo kalasí ʻoku nau moʻui angatonu, ʻo hangē ko ʻIlisapeti mo Sakaliá, mo teʻeki ke nau ʻamanaki ki ha tāpuaki. Te ke tokoniʻi fēfē kinautolu ke nau ako mei he sīpinga ʻa ʻIlisapeti mo Sakaliá? ʻE lava ke ke kamata ʻaki haʻo kole ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau hiki e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku nau ʻamanaki atu ki aí. Hili iá te nau lava ʻo fekumi ʻi he Luke 1:5–25, ki ha ngaahi lēsoni ʻe lava ke nau ako meia ʻIlisapeti mo Sakalia fekauʻaki mo e tatali ki he ʻEikí. ʻE lava foki ke nau lau mo fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi lea ko ʻení ʻi he “Ngaahi Maʻuʻanga Tokoni Kehé.” Poupouʻi kinautolu ke nau hiki e meʻa ne nau akó ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku nau ʻamanaki atu ki aí, pea kapau ʻoku lava, vahevahe ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú.

Ko e hā ha ngaahi sīpinga kehe ʻo e tatali ki he taimi ʻa e ʻEikí ʻe lava ke vahevahe ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí mei heʻenau moʻuí, pe mei he ngaahi fakamatala ʻi he folofolá? Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako mei he ngaahi sīpinga ko ʻení?

Mahalo ʻe fakakaukau e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí he taimi ʻe niʻihi—ʻo hangē ko Melé—pe ʻe fēfē hano fakahoko e palani mo e ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá maʻanautolú. Ke tokoni ke mahino ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ʻe malava ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻo fakafou ʻi he mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻe lava ke ke fakaʻaliʻali e fakatātā Ko Hono Fakahā ʻo e ʻAloʻí: Ko e Hā ʻa e ʻĀngelo ko Kepalelí kia Melé (Tohi Fakatātā ʻo e Ongoongoleleí, fika 28) pea fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau lau fakataha ʻa e Luke 1:26–38. Ko e hā te tau lava ʻo ako fekauʻaki mo hono ikunaʻi e faingataʻa ʻoku ngali taʻemalavá ʻaki hono ako e ngaahi lea mo e ngāue ʻa Melé? Kole ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau vahevahe ha ngaahi aʻusia naʻe tokoniʻi ai kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ke nau lavaʻi ha meʻa ne nau fakakaukau naʻe taʻemalava. Ki ha sīpinga fakaonopooni ʻo ha Kāingalotu naʻa nau lavaʻi ha meʻa naʻe ngali taʻemalava ʻaki ʻa e tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá, mamata ʻi he vitiō, “Sealed Together: The Manaus Temple Caravan”(LDS.org).

Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he moʻui ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻa e moʻoni ne fakahā ʻe Kepalelí: “ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe faingataʻa ki he ʻOtuá” (Luke 1:37). Ke fakatātaaʻi e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení, ʻe lava ke ke kole ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau fakakaukau ki ha taimi naʻe fakahoko ai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ha ngaahi meʻa ne ngali taʻe-malava ʻi hono fai e finangalo ʻo ʻEne Tamaí (hangē ko ʻení, vakai, Sione 9:1–7). Te ke lava ʻo tokoni ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau vakai ki he founga ʻoku ngāue ai e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau moʻuí, ʻaki haʻo fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau fakalaulauloto ki ha ngaahi fehuʻi hangē ko ʻení: Ko e hā ha faikehekehe ʻoku hoko ʻi hoʻo moʻuí ʻo ke ʻilo ai ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taʻemalava ki he ʻOtuá? ʻOku liliu fēfē nai ai e founga ʻo hoʻo fua fatongia ʻi he Siasí? ʻa e founga ʻokú ke feohi ai mo ho fāmilí? Mahalo ʻe tokoni foki ke ke fakafehoanaki ʻa e Luke 1:37 mo e ngaahi folofola ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻi he Maʻake 14:36.

Ko e tefitoʻi taumuʻa ʻa Mātiu, Luke mo e kau tangata tohi kehe ‘o e Kosipelí ke fakamoʻoniʻi ko Sīsū Kalaisí ko e ʻAlo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá. Te ke tokoniʻi fēfē e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau ʻiloʻi e taumuʻa ko ʻení ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki vahe te nau lau ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú? Ko ha fakakaukau ʻeni: Vahevahe e kalasí ki ha ngaahi kulupu pe tauhoa, pea ʻoange ki he kulupu takitaha ha ngaahi veesi mei he Mātiu 1 pe Luke 1. Fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau kumi ha ngaahi meʻa ne hoko pe ha ngaahi lea ʻokú ne fakamālohia ʻenau tui ki he misiona fakalangi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá pea vahevahe mo e kalasí e meʻa ne nau maʻú. ʻE lava ke kau atu ʻa e Mātiu 1:18–25 mo e Luke 1:26–38, 39–45, 46–55 ʻi he ngaahi veesi te ke ala fokotuʻu angé. Fokotuʻu ange ki he kalasí ʻi heʻenau ako ʻa e Fuakava Foʻoú he taʻu ní, ke nau tauhi ha lisi ʻo e ngaahi potufolofola ʻokú ne fakamoʻoniʻi ko Sīsū Kalaisí ko e ʻAlo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻE lava foki ʻe he kalasí ʻo tauhi e lisi ko ʻení.
