Mātiu 8–9; Maʻake 2–5

Mahalo ne maʻu ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo hoʻo kalasí ha ngaahi fakakaukau mālohi lolotonga ʻenau ako fakataautaha ʻa e ngaahi mana ʻi he ngaahi vahe ko ʻení (vakai ki he lisi ʻo e ngaahi fakamoʻuí ʻi he fokotuʻutuʻu ʻo e uike ní ʻi he Haʻu, ʻo Muimui ʻIate Au—Maʻá e Fakafoʻituituí mo e Ngaahi Fāmilí). Fakakaukau ke fakaafeʻi e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau vahevahe ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú mo ha hoa pe ko e kalasí kotoa.

Ke tokoni ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke mahino kiate kinautolu ʻa e vā fetuʻutaki ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e tuí mo e ngaahi maná, ʻe lava ke ke lau ha konga ʻo e ngaahi fakamoʻui fakaofo mei he Mātiu 8–9 mo e Maʻake 2; 5, ʻo kumi e tui ʻa e tokotaha ne fakamoʻuí pe ko e tui ʻa e niʻihi kehé. (Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha taimi feʻunga ke aleaʻi kātoa e ngaahi maná, kole ange ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí pe ko e fē ʻa e mana naʻe ʻuhingamālie taha kiate kinautolú.) ʻE lava ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi potufolofola ko ʻení ke toe fakalahi hoʻomou alēleá: Molomona 9:15–21; ʻEta 12:12–16; Molonai 7:27–37; pea mo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá 35:8. Ko e hā ʻoku akoʻi ʻe he ngaahi fai fakamoʻui ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mo e ngaahi potufolofola ko ʻení fekauʻaki mo e tuí mo e ngaahi maná? Vakai foki, “Mana” ʻi he Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá

Mahalo ʻe ʻi ai ha kakai ʻi hoʻo kalasí ʻoku nau maʻu e tuí pea ʻoku nau fekumi ki ha mana, ka kuo teʻeki hoko e maná ʻo fakatatau ki honau lotó. Ko e hā ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe he folofolá mo e kau taki ʻo e Siasí fekauʻaki mo ení? ʻI ha lea ne fakatefito ko e “Ko Hono Tali e Finangalo mo e Taimi ʻa e ʻEikí,” naʻe lea ai ʻa ʻEletā Tēvita A. Petinā fekauʻaki mo e founga naʻá ne faleʻi ai ha ongomeʻa mali ʻi he tūkunga ko ʻení (Ensign, ʻAokosi 2016, 31–35; vakai foki, 2 Kolinitō 12:7–10; TF 42: 43–52). Kuo mamata nai e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ki ha ngaahi tāpuaki ʻi heʻenau moʻuí pe moʻui ʻo e niʻihi kehé, ʻi he taimi ne ʻikai hoko ai e ngaahi mana ne nau loto ki aí?

ʻI heʻenau lau e ngaahi mana ʻi he Mātiu 8–9 mo e Maʻake 2; 5, ʻe ʻi ai ha niʻihi te nau fakakaukau pe ʻoku malava ke hoko nai ha meʻa pehē ʻi he ʻahó ni. Ne fakamatalaʻi ʻe Molonai hotau taimí “ʻe pehē ai kuo fakangata ʻa e ngaahi maná”, ka naʻá ne talaʻofa mai foki ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku kei hoko pe Ia ko ha ʻOtua ʻo e ngaahi maná, he ko e ʻOtuá “ʻoku ʻikai te Ne liliu” (Molomona 8:26; 9:18–21; vakai foki, Molonai 7:27–29). ʻE lava fēfē ke ke tokoniʻi e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke fakatupulaki ʻenau tui ki he mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ke tāpuakiʻi ʻenau moʻuí? Te ke ala kole ange ke nau vahevahe ha ngaahi sīpinga ʻo ha ngaahi mana kuo nau fakamoʻoniʻi tonu. ʻE lava foki ke ke vahevahe ha ngaahi fakamatala ʻo ha ngaahi mana mei he hisitōlia ʻo e Siasí (vakai, “Ngaahi Maʻuʻanga Tokoni Kehé”).

Mahalo ʻokú ke meaʻi e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku fehangahangai mo e kau mēmipa ʻo hoʻo kalasí. Koeʻuhi ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo ha ngaahi faingataʻa ʻi ha ngaahi taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻo ʻetau moʻuí, ʻe lava ʻe hono toe vakaiʻi ʻo e fakamatala ʻi he Maʻake 4:35–41 ke langaki e tui ʻa e kau mēmipa e kalasí, ʻi he malava ko ia ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ke ʻomi e nongá maʻanautolú. Tufa ha laʻi pepa ki he tokotaha takitaha, pea kole ke nau tohiʻi ʻi ha tafaʻaki ʻe taha ha faingataʻa kuo nau aʻusia. ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, kole ange ke nau tohi ha meʻa mei he Maʻake 4:35–41 ʻokú ne ueʻi kinautolu ke nau tafoki ki he Fakamoʻuí lolotonga ʻenau ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá. Poupouʻi e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke vahevahe ʻa e meʻa ne nau tohí, ʻo kapau ʻoku nau ongoʻi fiemālie pē ke tohi ia.

Ko e himi “Naʻe Tala pē ʻe Sīsū,” Ngaahi Himi, fika  51, ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi he talanoa he Mātiu 8:23–27 mo e Maʻake 4:35–41. Mahalo ʻe lava ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke kumi ha ngaahi himi ʻoku fenāpasi mo e ngaahi kupuʻi lea ʻi he folofolá. Te ke lava foki ke fakaʻaliʻali ha fakatātā ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe hokó (vakai, Tohi Fakatātā ʻo e Ongoongoleleí, fika 40) pea aleaʻi pe ko e konga fē ia ne tā fakatātaaʻi ʻe he tokotaha ʻātí. Ko e hā mo ha toe founga kehe te ke lava ai ʻo tokoni ke mahino ange ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí e ʻuhinga mo e mālohi ʻo e mana ko ʻení?

ʻOku akoʻi ʻe he fakamatala ʻo e mana ko ʻení ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e ngāue fakataha ʻi he uouongatahá ke tokoni ki he Fakamoʻuí ʻi hono fakamoʻui ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau fie maʻu tokoni fakalaumālié pe fakatuʻasinó. ʻE lava ke tānaki atu ‘e he pōpoaki ʻa ʻEletā Chi Hong (Sam) Wong ko e “Uouangataha ʻi he Fakahaofí” (Ensign pe Liahona, Nōvema 2014, 14–16) ki ha fealeleaʻaki fekauʻaki mo e moʻoni ko ʻení. Fakakaukau ke fakaafeʻi ha mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke haʻu mateuteu ke toe fakamanatu e fakamatala mei he folofolá pea vahevahe e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Uongí. Ko e hā te tau lava ʻo ako mei he Maʻake 2:1–12 fekauʻaki mo e mahuʻinga ʻo e ngāue ʻi he uouongatahá ke fakahaofi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku faingataʻaʻiá? (vakai foki, Maʻake 3:24–25).
