Ko e Foaki ʻa e Fefine Uitoú

Ke tokoniʻi ʻa e fānaú taki taha ke totongi totonu ʻenau vahe hongofulú pea mo e ngaahi foaki kehé.

1. Ako ʻi he faʻa lotu ʻa e Maʻake 12:41–44, 3 Nīfai 24:10, pea mo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 119:4. Hili iá peá ke ako ʻa e lēsoní mo ke fili pe ʻe anga fēfē haʻo fiemaʻu ke akoʻi ki he fānaú ʻa e fakamatala ʻa e folofolá. (Vakai, “Teuteuʻi Hoʻo Lēsoní,” vi, pea mo e “Faiako mei he Folofolá, viii.)

2. Laukonga ʻoku tānaki atu: Luke 21:1–4 pea mo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 64:23.

4. Nāunau ʻoku fie maʻú:

   1. Tohi Tapu pe Fuakava Foʻou ke taki taha ʻa e fānaú.

   2. Sēniti ʻe hongofulu (pe ko haʻo tā ha fuopotopoto ʻe hongofulu ʻi he palakipoé ke ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e senití.)

   3. ʻŪ pepa pea mo e peni vahevahe ke taki taha ʻa e fānaú.

Fakaafeʻi ha taha ke ne fai ʻa e fua lotú.

Te ke lava ke fakaʻaongaʻi ha taha pe lahi ange ʻo e ngaahi ʻekitivitií ni ʻi ha faʻahinga taimi pē lolotonga ʻa e lēsoní, pe ko hano fakamanatu, fakamatala fakanounou, pē ʻi hono tukupaá.

1. Fakaʻaongaʻi ha paʻanga loi (ʻe lava ke ke ngaohi pe ia ʻe koe), ʻai ke hangē ko ha foʻi fāmilí pea ke mou fokotuʻu ha patiseti ʻo e lahi e paʻanga te ke ʻoange kia kinautolú. Tuku ke nau patisetiʻi ʻa e meʻatokoní, nofoʻangá, ngaahi nāunau falé, valá, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa vaʻingá. Hili iá tala ange ke tānaki ʻa e vahe hongofulú pea mo e ngaahi foaki kehé ki heʻenau patisetí ʻaki hano fakamuʻomuʻa kinautolu ʻi he lisí. Fakamatalaʻi ʻoku totonu maʻu pe ke ʻuluaki totongi ʻetau vahe hongofulú koeʻuhí ko e ʻinasi ia ʻo e ʻEikí.

2. ʻAlu takai ʻi he lokí peá ke fehuʻi ki he fānaú taki taha ke ne fakahā mai ha faʻahinga meʻa pau ʻoku fakaʻaongaʻi ki ai ʻa e paʻanga vahe hongofulú. ʻOange ha ngaahi fokotuʻu mei he lisi ko ʻení kapau ʻe fie maʻu:

   Langa ʻo e ngaahi fale lotú, ngaahi temipalé, ngaahi akoʻanga seminelí pea mo e ʻinisititiutí, senitā akoʻanga ʻo e kau faifekaú, pea mo e ngaahi senita ʻo e hisitōlia fakafāmilí.

   Totongi ʻo e ngaahi ʻekitivitī fakauōtí pea mo fakasiteikí pea pehē foki ki he ngaahi tohi lēsoní pea mo e ngaahi nāunaú.

   Totongi ki he momomono ʻo e ngaahi fale lotú pea mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakaʻaongaʻi ki aí.

   Totongi ʻo e fefolauʻaki mo e ngaahi fakamole kehe ʻa e Kau Taki Māʻolungá.

   Fakatau mai ʻo e ngaahi komipiuta ke fakaʻaongaʻi ʻi he temipalé pea mo e ngāue ki he hisitōlia fakafāmilí.

   Tokoni ki hono pulusi ʻo e ngaahi makasiní.

   Totongi ki hono fakamafola fakasatelaite ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻa e Siasí

   Totongi ki hono liliu pea mo hono pulusi ʻo e ngaahi folofolá.

3. ʻOange ke taki taha ʻa e fānaú ha kiʻi laʻi pepa pea mo ha peni vahevahe pea ke nau ʻalu ki he matapā sioʻatá pē ko ha feituʻu pe ʻi he falé te nau lava ʻo sio ai ki tuʻá. Tuku ke nau taki taha tohi fakalongolongo pe ʻi he lahi taha te nau lavá ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau sio ki ai ʻi he kiʻi miniti siʻisiʻi ko ʻení. Fakamatalaʻi kuo ʻosi foaki mai ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tau maʻú, pea ko e founga pe ʻe taha te tau lava ke fakahāʻaki ʻetau loto houngaʻia mo ʻetau ʻofa ki he Tamai Hēvaní ko e totongi ʻetau vahe hongofulú pea mo e ngaahi foaki kehé.

4. Fakahā ange ʻa e talanoa ko ʻení naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni ʻEselā Tafi Penisoni, pea aleaʻi ʻa e tui ʻoku fie maʻu ke totongi ʻa e vahe hongofulú pea mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku maʻu mei he talangofua ki he fekaú:

   “Naʻáku fanongo atu ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe taha ʻi heʻeku kei taʻu hongofulu tupú, ki ha talanoa ʻa ʻeku ongomātuʻá ʻo kau ki heʻena fakamatala fakapaʻangá ʻi he teuteu ki he fakaʻekeʻeke fakataʻu ʻo ʻena vahe hongofulú ʻa ia ʻe fai ʻi he ʻaho hoko maí. Naʻe [moʻua] ʻa e tangataʻeikí ʻaki ha paʻanga ʻe uofulu mā nima ki he pangikeé, ʻa ia kuo pau ke totongi ia ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e uiké. ʻI hono fikaʻi atu ʻo ʻene vahe hongofulú, ʻokú ne moʻuaʻaki mo ha toe paʻanga ʻe uofulu mā nima kehe. Naʻá ne toe maʻu foki mo ha meʻa ke hikiʻaki ʻa e mohukú (hay derrick) [ko ha faʻahinga meʻa ia ʻoku fakaʻaongaʻi ke hikiʻaki ʻa e mohukú] ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻosi faʻu. Naʻá ne… . feinga foki ke fakatau atu ia, ka naʻe ʻikai ola lelei.

   “Ko e hā e meʻa te na faí—ko e [totongi] ʻo e moʻua ki he pangikeé, kae toki totongi ʻa ʻena vahe hongofulú, pe ko hano totongi ʻo ʻena vahe hongofulú pea mo ha fakaʻamu te na lava ke [totongi ki he pangikeé] ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi pe mei ai? Hili ʻo ʻena aleaʻi ʻa e meʻa kuo hokó, pea naʻá ku fakapapauʻi naʻá na fai ha lotu fakataha ki muʻa ke na maʻu ha mālōloó, naʻe loto ʻa e tangataʻeikí ʻi he ʻaho hoko maí ke na totongi ʻa e paʻanga ʻe uofulu mā nimá ki he fakaʻekeʻeke vahehongo fulú, ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ne hoko ko ha taha totongi vahe hongofulu kakato. ʻI heʻene heka mai ke foki ki ʻapi ʻi heʻene hōsí, naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe ha taha ʻo hono kaungāʻapí peá ne fehuʻi ange, ‘Siaosi, ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻi ai hoʻo meʻa hiki musie (derrick) ʻoku tuʻuaki fakatau. ʻE fiha kapau te ke fie maʻu ke fakatau atu?’

   “Tuaiekemo ʻa e pehē ange ʻa e tangataʻeikí, ‘paʻanga ʻe uofulu mā nima.’ Naʻe tali mai leva hono kaungāʻapí, ʻOku teʻeki ai te u sio ai au, ka ko ʻeku ʻiloʻi hoʻo founga ngāué, ʻoku feʻunga pe hono mahuʻingá mo e paʻanga ʻe uofulu mā nimá. Kātaki toe tatali siʻi angé ka u hū ki fale ʻo toe vakaiʻi. ʻOku ou fie maʻu ia ʻe au.’ Ko ha lēsoni ʻeni he ʻikai pē ke toe ngalo ia ʻiate au” (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, pp. 471–72).

5. Fai ʻa e talanoa ko ʻení:

   “ ʻI he taimi naʻá ku meimei taʻu nima pe ono aí, naʻá ku tangutu fakataha ʻi he tēpile kaiʻangá mo homau fuʻu fāmili tokolahí pea mo fakafanaongo ki he niʻihi kehé ʻi heʻenau fepotalanoaʻaki kau ki he vahe hongofulú. Naʻa nau talamai ko e vahe hongofulu ʻe taha ʻo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tau maʻú ʻoku totongi ia ki he ʻEikí ʻe kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate iá.

   “Hili ʻa e kai efiafí naʻá ku toʻo mai ʻa e kiʻi paʻanga naʻá ku tātānakí peá u fikaʻi ko e hā hoku moʻua ki he ʻEikí ʻi he vahe hongofulú. Hili iá naʻá ku ʻalu ki he loki pe ʻe taha ʻi he falé ʻoku lava ʻo lokaʻí—ko e fale kaukaú—ʻou tūʻulutui ʻi he veʻe topu kaukaú. Naʻá ku fakafoʻohakeʻi pe hoku laʻi nimá peá u hilifaki ai ʻa e kiʻi kiʻi sēniti ʻe tolu pe fā naʻá ku maʻú, peá u kole ki he ʻEikí ke ne tali muʻa ia— naʻáku fakapapauʻi kuó ne tali ʻeku kolé. Naʻá ku fealēleaʻaki mo e ʻEikí ʻi ha ngaahi taimi, ka naʻe kei tuku pe ʻa e sēnití ʻi hoku nimá. Naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha kiʻi tamasiʻi siʻisiʻi naʻe ongoʻi liʻekina ʻo lahi ange ʻiate au. Naʻe tali ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e vahe hongofulu ʻeku ongo mātuʻá pea pehē ki hoku fanga taʻoketé. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai te ne tali aú? ʻI heʻeku tuʻu haké, naʻá ku ongoʻi taʻe taau ʻaupito pea ʻikai te u lava ke fakahā ki ha taha ʻa e meʻa kuo hokó. Ko e ʻEikí pe ʻokú ne ʻafioʻí.

   “Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi naʻe pehē ʻe he faiako ʻi he Palaimelí ʻokú ne fiefia ke talanoa ʻo kau ki ha faʻahinga meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke kau ʻi he lēsoní. Naʻá ku ʻohovale ʻaupito ʻi heʻene akoʻi kimautolu ki he founga ʻo e totongi vahe hongofulú. Ko e meʻa naʻá ku akó ʻoku mahulu ange ia ʻi he founga ʻo e totongi vahe hongofulú. Naʻá ku ako ʻoku fanongo pea mo tali ʻe he ʻEikí ʻetau ngaahi lotú, ʻokú ne ʻofa ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ou mahuʻinga kiate ia “ (Ariel Ricks, “Coins for the Lord,” Ensign, Dec. 1990, p. 47).
