Te ke lava foki ʻo fakaafeʻi ʻa e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke vahevahe ha taimi ne nau ongoʻi ai ʻa e maama mo e ʻofa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní.

• Te ke tokoni fēfē ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau fakalaulauloto ki he maama fakalaumālie ʻi heʻenau moʻuí? ʻE lava ke ke fakaafeʻi ʻa e kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ke nau sio ki ha maama ʻi he ʻaofí pe ko ha maama mei ha matapā sioʻatá pea vahevahe ʻa e meʻa ʻoku nau ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e maama fakatuʻasinó. ʻOku tatau fēfē ʻa e maama fakatuʻasinó mo e maama fakalaumālié? ʻE lava ke ke fekumi ʻi he Saame 27:1; Sione 1:4–5; 1 Sione 1:5–7; 3 Nīfai 11:11; Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 88:6–13 mo kumi ha ngaahi fakakaukau kehe fekauʻaki mo e founga ʻoku ʻomi ai ʻe he ʻOtuá mo Hono ʻAló ʻa e māmá ki heʻetau moʻuí. ʻE lava foki ke vahevahe ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e kalasí ha ngaahi aʻusia ʻi haʻanau fekumi ke maʻu ʻa e maama fakalaumālié ʻi heʻenau moʻuí.

Pe te nau kumi ʻa e tali ki he ngaahi fehuʻi hangē ko ʻení: ʻOku fakaʻuhingaʻi fēfē ʻe Sione mo Sute ʻa e fili ʻo Kalaisí? (vakai foki ki he Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “Fili ʻo Kalaisí,” scriptures.lds.org). ʻOku ʻi ai nai ha meʻa ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení ʻoku ngali felāveʻi mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ní? Te tau fakamālohia fēfē kitautolu ke fehangahangai mo e ngaahi akonaki halá?

Hangē ko ʻení, ʻoku fakatupu fēfē ʻe he ngaahi ngāue koví ha “ngaahi ʻila … ʻi homou ngaahi kātoanga ʻofá”? Ko e hā te tau lava ʻo fai ke fakamālohia kitautolu ke fehangahangai mo e “kau manukí”? (vakai, Sute 1:18–21). Ko e hā ka fokotuʻu mai ai ʻe Sute ke tau “manavaʻofa” (Sute 1:22) ki he niʻihi ʻoku nau manuki ki he ongoongoleleí.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Robert  D. Hales ʻa e founga te tau lava ai ʻo kapusi ʻa e fakapoʻulí mei heʻetau moʻuí kae ʻaʻeva ʻi he māmá:

“ʻI heʻeku kei siʻí, naʻá ku faʻa heka ʻi heʻeku pasikalá ki ʻapi mei he ako pasiketipoló ʻi he poʻulí. Naʻá ku fakapipiki ha kiʻi fakafonu hangē ha foʻi peá ki he vaʻe ʻo ʻeku pasikalá. Pea ʻi heʻeku ʻaká, ʻe hanga ʻe he vilo ʻa e foʻi vaʻé ʻo faʻu ha ʻuhila ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻomi ha kiʻi ulo. Ko ha foʻi ʻenisinia siʻisiʻi ka naʻe ola lelei. Ka naʻe fie maʻu ia ke u ʻaka kae toki moʻui! Naʻá ku ʻilo ai kapau ʻe tuku ʻeku ʻaká, ʻe mate ʻa e kiʻi māmá. Naʻá ku ʻilo foki ko e taimi ʻoku ou ‘femoʻuekina’ ai [TF 58:27] ʻi he ʻaká, ʻe toe ulo lahi ange ʻa e kiʻi māmá pea ʻe mole ai ʻa e fakapoʻuli ʻi muʻa ʻiate aú.

“ʻOku maʻu ʻa e maama fakalaumālié mei he ʻaka fakalaumālie ʻi he ʻaho kotoa peé. ʻOku maʻu ia mei he lotú, ako ʻo e folofolá, ʻaukaí, mo e ngāue tokoní—mei hono moʻui ʻaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí mo e talangofua ki he ngaahi fekaú” (“Out of Darkness into His Marvelous Light,” Ensign, May 2002, 71).
