Akó—Taimi Lōloa Tahá: Miniti ʻe 45

Fakalaulauloto:Tuku ha miniti ʻe ua ke ke fakakaukauʻi ai ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻení pea hiki hoʻo fakakaukaú: Ko e hā ha meʻa te u fakahū paʻanga ki ai?

Lau:Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi founga faingofua taha ki he ʻinvesí ko e fakahū ha paʻanga. Kuó ke feinga ke tānaki ha paʻanga fakatuʻupakē, ʻo kamata ʻi he māhina ʻe tahá pea hiki hake ai ki he māhina ʻe tolu ki he onó. Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻe lava kapau te ke kei fakahū paʻanga ai pē ʻi ha ʻosi haʻo fokotuʻu ha sinoʻi paʻanga fakatuʻupakē ʻoku lahí.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā L. Tom Perry, “Totongi ki hoʻo ʻakauní ha mahuʻinga tuʻu pau. … ʻOku fakaofo kiate au ʻa e ngāue mateaki ʻa ha niʻihi tokolahi ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻenau moʻuí ke totongi ʻaki e koloá, ʻapi nofo totongí, kautaha ʻuhilá, fakatauʻanga meʻalelé, mo e pangikeé, kae ʻikai ke nau teitei fakakaukauʻi ʻenau kakavá ʻo ʻikai ai haʻanau totongi pē maʻanautolu” (“Becoming Self-Reliant,” Ensign, Nov. 1991, 66).

Hangē ko hono fakatātaaʻi kimuʻa ʻe he hina siaá, ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ke ke fuofua “totongi koe” ʻaki hano fakahū ha paʻanga ki hoʻo ʻakauní. ʻE tokoni ʻeni ke ke langaki ha tuʻunga fakapaʻanga ʻoku malú.

Aleaʻi:Toe fakamanatu ʻi ha kiʻi taimi nounou ʻa e fakatātā ki he foʻi hina siaá. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻuhingamālie taha kiate koe ʻi he sīpinga ko ʻení? ʻOkú ke fakahaaʻi fēfē ʻa e tuí ʻi hoʻo ngāue ʻaki e tōʻonga moʻui fakafalala pē kiate kitá?

Lau:ʻE lava ke hoko e fakatau mai ha apí ko ha founga ia ʻe taha ke ke ʻinivesi ai. Ka neongo iá, ko e fakatau ʻapí ʻoku ʻikai maʻá e tokotaha kotoa pē, pea ʻe faʻa sai ange ʻa e nofo totongí.

Lau:Ko kinautolu ʻoku fakakaukau ke fakatau mai hanau ʻapí, manatuʻi ʻa e ongo tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení:

• Toki fakatau mai pē ha ʻapi ʻi he taimi pea mo e feituʻu ʻe ʻuhingamālie ai ke ke fai iá.

• Fakatau pē ʻa e ʻapi te ke lava lelei ʻo totongí.

Tau aleaʻi leva he taimí ni ha ngaahi meʻa te nau ala tākiekina ʻa e ongo tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení.

Aleaʻi:Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ke ke ʻeke kiate koe ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení kimuʻa peá ke toki fakatau mai ha ʻapí?

Lau:Ko e niʻihi tokolahi ʻoku nau fakatau mai ha ʻapi ʻo ngāue ʻaki ʻa e nō ʻoku ui ko e mōkisi. Ko e mōkisi ko ʻení ko e moʻua, pea kuo pau ke ke fakamole ki he totongi tupú. ʻE fie maʻu ia ke ke totongi ʻa e totongi fakamāhiná mo tā fakafoki e noó.

Ko hoʻo totongi mōkisi fakamāhiná ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke laka hake ʻi he pēseti ʻe 25 ʻo hoʻo paʻanga hū mai fakamāhiná, ka ke fiemālie ʻi hoʻo tuʻunga fakapaʻangá ʻo kiʻi fuoloa. Fakaʻaongaʻi ʻeni ko ha fakahinohino ki he meʻa te ke lava ʻo totongi fakafokí, kae ʻikai ko e lahi ʻo e meʻa ʻe fie tuku atu ʻe he kautaha noó ke ke noó.

Aleaʻi:Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga kiate koe ke fakatau mai ha ʻapi te ke lava pē ʻo totongí?

Lau:Manatuʻi maʻu pē ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi fakamole kehe ʻa e tokotaha maʻu ʻapí makehe mei he mōkisí. Ko e taimi ʻokú ke maʻu ai ha ʻapí, ʻokú ke fatongia ʻaki hono monomonó. ʻOku ʻi ai e ngaahi meʻa ʻe maumau pea motuʻa, pea ʻe fie maʻu he taimi ʻe niʻihi ke fakaleleiʻi. ʻOku faʻa fokotuʻu mai ʻe he kau faleʻi fakapaʻangá ke vaheʻi ha pēseti ʻe 1 pe lahi ange ʻo e mahuʻinga ho falé ʻi he taʻu, ki he monomonó.

Lau:Ko e akó ko ha founga ia ʻe taha ʻo e ʻinivesí. Ko e angamahení, ʻe ʻi ai ha fakamole ki he totongi e ako ngāué pe fakaʻatamaí. Kapau te ke ʻinivesi he akó, fakapapauʻi ʻe maʻu ai ha ngāue lelei ange koeʻuhí ke ʻaonga hoʻo ʻinivesí. Naʻe faleʻi ʻe Palesiteni Gordon B. Hinckley “ko e taimi lahi, ʻe totongiʻi koe he māmaní fakatatau mo ʻene fakakaukau ki ho mahuʻingá, pea ʻe fakautuutu ho mahuʻingá ʻi haʻo ako mo aʻusia ha tuʻunga lelei ʻi he malaʻe ne ke filí” (“A Prophetʻs Counsel and Prayer for Youth,” Ensign, Jan. 2001, 4).

ʻE feʻunga pē he taimi ʻe niʻihi ke ke fakamoʻua ke lava hoʻo akó, ka ʻoku toe lahi foki mo ha ngaahi founga ke totongi ai e akó. Vakaiʻi ʻa e ngaahi faingamālie kotoa pē kimuʻa peá ke toki fakamoʻua. Kapau te ke fakamoʻua koeʻuhí ko e akó, feinga ke ke totongi ʻosi ia ʻi he vave tahá.

ʻE ala hoko ʻa e kulupu Ako Koeʻuhí ko ha Ngāue Lelei Angé ʻi he moʻui fakafalala pē kiate kitá ko ha fili lelei maʻau kapau te ke fakakaukau ke ke ʻinivesi ʻi he akó.

Aleaʻi:ʻOku hoko fēfē ʻa e akó ko ha ʻinivesi ia maʻau?

Lau:Ko e taha hoʻomou tukupā ʻi he uike ní, ke aleaʻi e fakahū paʻanga talifakí, maʻu ha ʻapí, pea mo e ʻinivesi ʻi hoʻo akó ʻi he fakataha alēlea fakafāmilí. Aleaʻi e ngaahi meʻa te ke fie tānaki ha paʻanga ki aí, pe ʻoku totonu ke ke nofo totongi pe fakatau mai ha ʻapi (pe ha founga te ke lava ai ʻo totongi fakalahi ke fai mo ʻosi hoʻo mōkisí), mo e ngaahi taumuʻa fakaakó, kapau ʻoku ʻi ai, ʻa ia ʻoku totonu ke ke ngāueʻí. Mahalo te ke fie fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e “Sīpinga Fealēleaʻaki ʻi he Fakataha Alēlea Fakafāmili” ʻi laló.
