Akó—Taimi Lōloa Tahá: Miniti ʻe 45

Lau:Ko e mateuteú ko ha tefitoʻi moʻoni mahuʻinga ia ʻo e ongoongoleleí. ʻOku talaʻofa mai ʻe he ʻEikí, “ʻo kapau te mou mateuteu, ʻe ʻikai te mou manavahē” (T&F 38:30).

Ka hili hotau fatongia ke ʻuluaki totongi ki he ʻEikí e vahehongofulú mo e ngaahi foaki kehé, ko hotau fatongia hono hokó leva ke ngāue ke maluʻi hotau ngaahi fāmilí mei he faingataʻá. Te tau toki lava pē ʻo fai ʻeni kapau te tau fakatupulaki ha ʻilo ki he kahaʻu lōloá. Te tau ako ‘i he vahe ko ʻení ha sitepu ʻe ua ke maluʻi ai hotau fāmili mei he faingataʻaʻia fakapaʻangá:

• Fokotuʻu ha paʻanga fakatuʻupakē feʻunga mo ha māhina ʻe taha

• Totongi ha paʻanga maluʻi feʻunga

Aleaʻi:Tuku ha kiʻi taimi ke vakai ai ki he Mape Lavameʻa ʻi he Fatongia Tauhi ʻo e Ngaahi Meʻa Fakapaʻangá. ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻoku fika ua ai e maluʻi ho fāmili mei he faingataʻá ki he totongi vahehongofulú mo e ngaahi foakí?

Lau:ʻI hoʻo muimuiʻi hoʻo ngaahi fakamolé ʻi ha uike ʻe fā, ʻoku ʻosi totonu leva ke ke ʻiloʻi he taimí ni ʻa e lahi ʻo e paʻanga ʻoku fie maʻu ke ke moʻui ʻaki ʻi he māhina ʻe tahá. ʻOku totonu ke lahi tatau hoʻo paʻanga fakatuʻupakē māhina ʻe tahá mo ʻeni.

ʻOku totonu ke ke fakahū hoʻo paʻanga fakatuʻupakē ki ha māhina ʻe tahá ʻi ha feituʻu malu hangē ko ha ʻakauni pangikē. ʻOua naʻa fakaʻaongaʻi e paʻanga ko ʻení ki ha toe meʻa kehe ka ko e ʻū meʻa fakatuʻupakeé pē. Kapau ʻoku hoko ha meʻa fakatuʻupakē pea kuo pau ke ke ngāue ʻaki ha paʻanga mei hoʻo paʻanga fakatuʻupakē ki he māhina ʻe tahá, kamata he vave tahá ke toe fakahū ha paʻanga ki hoʻo sinoʻi paʻangá kae ʻoua kuo toe kakato ia. Ka hili hoʻo totongi kakato ho moʻua ki he koloa ʻoku fakaʻaongaʻí, te ke kamata leva ke tānaki ha paʻanga feʻunga ke feau hoʻo ngaahi fakamolé feʻunga mo ha māhina ʻe tolu ki he ono (te tau aleaʻi e sitepu ko ʻení ʻi he vahe 9).

‘Oku totonu ke ke ngāue ʻi he vave tahá ke tānaki ha paʻanga ki ha meʻa fakatuʻupakē ke feʻunga mo e māhina ʻe taha. Fakahū ha toenga paʻanga pē te ke maʻu ki hoʻo paʻanga fakatuʻupakeé kae ʻoua kuo kakato. Tatau ai pē pe ʻoku ʻi ai haʻo moʻua, totongi pē siʻisiʻi taha ʻoku fie maʻu ki he moʻuá, kae ʻoua kuó ke fokotuʻu ha paʻanga fakatuʻupakē feʻunga mo e māhina ʻe taha. Ke fakavaveʻi ange ʻa e ngāue ko ʻení, mahalo naʻa fie maʻu ke ke kumi ha ngāue lahi pe ngāue lelei ange, fakatau atu ha ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai fuʻu fie maʻú, pe taʻofi e ngaahi fakamole taʻeʻaongá.

Aleaʻi:Ko e hā ha ngaahi tāpuaki ʻe ala maʻu homou fāmilí mei hono fokotuʻu ha paʻanga fakatuʻupakē ki ha māhina ʻe tahá? Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke ke tānaki ha sinoʻi paʻanga fakatuʻupakē kimuʻa peá ke toki totongi ʻosi ho moʻuá?

Lau:Te ke uesia fakapaʻanga fēfē pe ko ho fāmilí kapau ʻe puke lahi pe faingataʻaʻia fakasino ha taha, pe mate? Ko e hā ha uesia fakapaʻanga ʻo ka hoko ha meʻa hangē ko e vela ʻa e falé pe fakatamaki ʻi ha meʻalele? ʻOku hoko ʻa e faʻahinga faingataʻa ko ʻení, pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke tau mateuteu, te nau lava ʻo fakatupu ha palopalema fakapaʻanga lahi fau. Ko e maʻuʻanga maluʻi lelei ki ha faingataʻa peheé ko ha totongi maluʻi. Ko e totongi maluʻí ko ha fokotuʻutuʻu ia ʻoku fakapapauʻi ai ʻe ha kautaha (meimei ko ha kautaha maluʻi) ke totongi huhuʻi ha tokotaha ʻi ha faʻahinga faingataʻa pau kapau te ne tauhi pau ki he paʻanga totongi tuʻumaʻú.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni N. Eldon Tanner, “ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa ia ʻe ngali papau ange hangē ko e meʻa taʻe-ʻamanekina ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. ʻI he fakautuutu ange e totongi mamafa ki he meʻa fakafaitoʻó, ko e maluʻi moʻui leleí pē ʻa e founga te ne lava ʻo feau ʻa e fakamole ʻi he ngaahi fakatamaki lalahí, puké, mo e fanauʻi ʻo e fānaú. … ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he maluʻi moʻuí ha paʻanga hū mai hokohoko ʻi he taimi ʻoku mate taʻeʻamanekina ai ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku ngāué. ʻOku totonu ke fakapapauʻi ʻe he fāmili kotoa ke totongi ha maluʻi moʻui ʻoku feʻungá” (“Constancy amid Change,” Ensign, Nov. 1979, 82).

Aleaʻi:Ko e hā ʻoku matuʻaki mahuʻinga ai ʻa e totongi maluʻí? Ko e hā ha ngaahi tāpuaki ʻe ala maʻu mei hono totongi ha paʻanga maluʻi ʻoku feʻungá?

Lau:Aleaʻi ha ngaahi founga ʻi hoʻomou fakataha alēlea fakafāmili he uike ní, ke fokotuʻu ha paʻanga fakatuʻupakē feʻunga mo ha māhina ʻe taha. Mou fili foki ʻa e ngaahi palani maluʻi ʻoku mahuʻinga ki homou fāmilí, pea fakatotoloʻi ʻa e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻo e maluʻí. Mahalo te mou fie fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e “Sīpinga Fealelēaʻaki ʻi he Fakataha Alēlea Fakafāmili” ʻi laló.
