Fakakaukau ki he fokotuʻu ko ʻení: ʻOmai ha foʻi hina ki he kalasí, pea hili hono toe vakaiʻi fakataha e Luke 2:7, kole ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau fakafonu e foʻi hiná ʻaki ha ngaahi meʻa kehekehe ʻoku nau fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi founga ʻoku tau fakamoleki ai hotau taimí. ʻI he fonu ʻa e foʻi hiná, fakaafeʻi ha taha ke ne feinga ke fakahū ki loto ha laʻitā ʻo e Fakamoʻuí. Ko e hā ʻoku fokotuʻu mai ‘e he talanoa fakatātā ko ʻení fekauʻaki mo hono fakaʻataʻatā ha potu ʻo ʻetau moʻuí maʻa Kalaisí? Ko e hā te tau fai ʻo kehe ke fakaʻatā ha potu Moʻoná? ʻE tokoni ʻa e lea ʻa Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni ʻi he “Ngaahi Maʻuʻanga Tokoni Kehé” ke tali e fehuʻi ko ʻení.

Ko e lēsoni ʻe taha mei he hola ʻa Siosefa mo Mele ki ʻIsipité ko e lava ke ʻomi ʻe he ʻEikí ha fakahā ke tokoniʻi e mātuʻá ʻi hono maluʻi honau ngaahi familí mei he fakatuʻutāmakí. Ke ueʻi fakalaumālie ha fealēleaʻaki he taimi ko ʻení, fakakaukau ke ke fakaafeʻi e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau hiki he palakipoé ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku fehangahangai mo e ngaahi fāmilí ʻi he kuongá ni. Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako mei he Mātiu 2:13–23 fekauʻaki mo e founga ke maluʻi ai hotau ngaahi familí mo kitautolu mei he ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ko ʻení? Ko e hā ha founga kuo tokoniʻi ai ʻe he fakahā fakatāutahá kitautolu ke tau maluʻi hotau ngaahi fāmilí mo kinautolu ʻoku tau ʻofa aí mei he fakatuʻutāmakí? Ko e hā ha faleʻi kuo tuku mai ʻe he kau palōfitá mo e kau ʻaposetoló fekauʻaki mo hono maluʻi hotau ngaahi fāmilí?

Te ke ala fakaafeʻi e kalasí ke nau hiva fakataha, ko ha konga ʻo e fealēleaʻaki ko ʻení, ʻa e “Hoko ʻa ʻApi ko e Hēvani,” Ngaahi Himi, fika 188, pe ko ha hiva fekauʻaki mo e fāmilí. Ko e hā ʻoku akoʻi ‘e he foʻi hivá fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ʻe lava ʻe he mātuʻá ʻo fai ke nau moʻui taau ai mo e fakahā ki hono tataki honau fāmilí?

ʻE malava ke mālohi makehe e talanoa ʻo e faiako ʻa Sīsū ‘i he temipalé ʻi heʻene kei taʻu 12,  ki he toʻu tupu ʻoku nau fifili fekauʻaki mo e tokoni te nau lava ʻo fai ki he ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá. Te ke lava ʻo vahevahe e kalasí ke nau tauhoa pea lau fakataha ʻa e Luke 2:40–52 (vakai, ki he fakakaukau mei he Liliu ʻe Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi he Luke 2:46). ʻE lava ke toʻo ‘e he hoa takitaha ha ngaahi miniti siʻi ke nau fevahevaheʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne ueʻi kinautolu fekauʻaki mo e fakamatala ko ʻení. Ko e hā ha ngaahi faingamālie ʻoku tau maʻu ke tau vahevahe ai e meʻa ʻoku tau ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e ongoongoleleí? Ko e hā ha ngaahi aʻusia te tau lava ʻo vahevahe?

Kapau ʻokú ke akoʻi e kakai lalahí, ʻe lava ke hoko e fakamatala ko ʻení ko ha faingamālie ke aleaʻi ai ha founga ki hono tokoniʻi e toʻu tupú ke nau aʻusia e meʻa ʻoku nau malavá ʻE lava ʻe ha taha ke fakamatalaʻi fakanounou ʻa e fakamatala ʻi he Luke 2:40–52, pea ke aleaʻi ʻe he kalasí pe ʻoku tākiekina fēfē ‘e he ngaahi meʻá ni e founga ʻoku nau vakai ai ki he toʻu tupu ʻo e Siasí. Ko e hā ha ngaahi faingamālie ʻe lava ke tau ʻoange maʻá e toʻu tupú ke nau kau ai ʻi hono fai “e ngāue ʻa [e] Tamaí” ʻo hangē ko Sīsuú? (Luke 2:49). Ko e fē nai ha taimi ne fakaofo ai kiate kitautolu ha fakakaukau fakalaumālie ʻa ia ne vahevahe ʻe ha toʻu tupu pe kiʻi leka? ʻE lava ke toe tānaki atu e ngaahi kupuʻi lea meia Palesiteni Henry B. Eyring ki he fealēleaʻaki ko ʻení: “ʻI he taimi ʻoku lea ai ha taha maʻu Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné, … ʻoku ou fakatetuʻa maʻu pē ke fanongo ki he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku tātātaha ke u loto mamahi pea ʻoku ou faʻa ofo”(“Koeʻuhí ke Ne hoko ʻo Mālohi Foki,” Ensign pe Liahona, Nōvema 2016, 77).

Ko e hā ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe Luke 2:40–52 fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga ne ʻi ai ʻa Sīsū ʻi Heʻene kei ʻeiki siʻí? ʻE lava ʻe he sīpinga ki he tupulaki fakatāutahá ʻoku fokotuʻu atu ʻi he Luke 2:52 ke ueʻi fakalaumālie ha fealeaʻaki ʻi he meʻa ʻoku tau fai ke tau hoko ai ʻo hangē ko Kalaisí. Te ke lava ʻo fokotuʻu ange ke fakalaulauloto e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ki he founga ʻoku nau tupulaki ai ʻi he potó (fakaʻatamai), lahí (fakaesino), ʻofeina mo e ʻOtuá (fakalaumālie) pea mo e niʻihi kehé (fakasōsiale). Te nau lava foki ʻo fokotuʻu ha ngaahi taumuʻa ʻi he taha ʻo e ngaahi tafaʻaki ko ʻení pe lahi ange.
