Ke tokoniʻi ʻa e fānaú ke nau ako ke mapuleʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau leaʻakí mo fakakaukauʻí.

1. Ako ʻi he faʻa lotu ʻa e Mātiu 5:33–37, Sēmisi 1:26, 3:2–13, 5:12, 1 Pita 3:10, ʻEkesōtosi 20:7, mo Mōsaia 4:30. Hili iá peá ke ako hoʻo lēsoní mo ke fili pē ʻe anga fēfē haʻo fiemaʻu ke akoʻi ki he fānaú ʻa e fakamatala ʻa e folofolá. (Vakai, “Teuteuʻi Hoʻo Lēsoní,” vi, mo e “Faiako mei he Folofolá,” viii.)

2. Fili ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ke aleaʻí mo e ngaahi ʻekitivitī fakatupulaki ʻe fakakau mai ki ai ʻa e fānaú pea mo tokoni lelei taha ke nau aʻusia ʻa e taumuʻa ʻo e lēsoní.

4. Nāunau ʻoku fie maʻú:

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

   2. Tepi (pe ko ha meʻa ʻoku meimei tatau mo ia) ke fakapipikiʻaki ʻa e tapatolú ki he palakipoé.

Fakaafeʻi ha taha ke ne fai ʻa e fua lotú.

Te ke lava ke fakaʻaongaʻi ha taha pe lahi ange ʻo e ʻekitivití ni ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e lēsoní pe ko hano vakaiʻi, pe fakamatala fakanounou, pē ʻi hono tukupaá.

1. Fai ange ʻa e talanoa ʻo Siosefa Sāmitá (kole ki ha taha laukonga lelei ke ne lau ʻa e talanoá kae hiki tepi):

   Naʻe tuʻo lahi hano tuku pōpula ʻo Siosefa Sāmita ʻe ha kau tangata naʻe fehuʻi kiate iá, neongo naʻe ʻikai lava ke nau fakamoʻoniʻi haʻane fai hala ange. Naʻe tauhi ia ʻi ha pō ʻe taha mo ha kau tangata ʻi ha fale fakapōpula momoko ʻa ia naʻe seiniʻi honau kiaʻi vaʻé mo mohe pē he faliki fefeká. Naʻa nau feinga ke mohe, ka naʻe longoaʻa ʻa e talanoa ʻa e kau leʻó. Naʻa nau kapekape mo taki taha tala ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi naʻa nau fai ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e Siasí.

   Hili ʻa ʻene fanongo ki he ngaahi talanoa fakamamahi ko ʻení, naʻe fakafokifa pe ʻa e puna hake ʻa Siosefa ʻo ne lea atu ki he kau tangatá, “Fakalongolongo … Pea ʻi he Huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻoku ou valokiʻi ʻa kimoutolu, mo fekauʻi ʻa kimoutolu ke mou fakalongolongo; ʻOku ʻikai te u fie maʻu ke u moʻui ʻo fanongo ki ha ngaahi lea pehē.” Naʻe lī ʻe he kau leʻó ʻenau meʻataú mo kole fakamolemole kiate ia. Pea naʻa nau fakalongolongo ʻi he poó kotoa. (Vakai, Parley P. Pratt, Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt, pp. 209–11.)

   • Ko e hā ha meʻa te ke fai ʻo kapau ʻoku kapekape pe talanoa taʻe feʻunga ʻa e taha ʻoku nofo ofi atu kiate koé?

2. Tui ha ha foʻi mama pe ko ha foʻi tengaʻi filo ʻi ha maea lōloa pea nonoʻo ha ongo foʻi fakapona ʻi he ngataʻangá. Tuku ke tuʻu fopotopoto ʻa e kalasí pea mo pukepuke ʻa e maeá. Fili ha taha ʻi he fānaú ke haʻu ki lotomālie. Paasi takai ʻa e foʻi mamá pe tengaʻi filó. Ko e taimi te ke pehē atu ai “Taʻofí,” tuku ange ki he taha ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e foʻi mamá ke ne tala mai ha meʻa lelei ʻo kau ki he taha ʻoku ʻi loto mālié. Hili iá tuku ke na fetongi pea mo hoko atu ʻa e kiʻi vaʻingá. Hokohoko atu kae ʻoua kuo nau kakato kotoa ʻi he faingamālie ke tuʻu ʻi loto mālié. Hanga ʻo tānaki atu ha fakamatala lelei ʻo kau ki he fānaú taki taha. Fai haʻo fakamatala ko e hā e ongo ʻokú ke maʻu ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau talanoa lelei ai ʻo kau ki ha taha pea pehē foki ki haʻanau fai ha meʻa tatau kia kitautolú. (Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke tokolahi feʻunga hoʻo kalasí ke nau fakahoko ʻa e foʻi ʻekitivitií ni, tuku ke nau taki taha fakahā mai ha meʻa lelei ʻo kau ki he niʻihi kehé.)

3. Fakafehoanaki ha foʻi fakakaukau kovi ʻe taha ki he kiʻi konga ukamea fuo tapatolu tōtaó ʻi he talanoa ko ení naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Sipenisā W. Kimiplo ʻo kau ki he kiʻi tamasiʻi naʻe nofo ʻi he fāmá:

   ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe haʻu ai ha kiʻi tamasiʻi mei he ngoueʻangá, naʻá ne maʻu ha konga ukamea tapatolu. (Fakamatalaʻi ʻa e fōtunga ʻo e konga ukamea tapatolú.) Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo tomui ki he kai efiafí, ka ʻi he ʻikai te ne fakafoki ʻa e konga ukameá ki he fale tukuʻanga meʻa ngāué, naʻá ne tuku ia ʻi he ongo vahaʻa ʻakau ʻo ha fuʻu ʻakau (walnut tree) naʻe tō ʻe heʻene tangataʻeikí ofi mai pe ki he matapā hūʻanga ʻi muʻá. Naʻá ne ʻamanaki te ne toki toʻo ʻa e konga ukamea mei he fuʻu ʻakaú pea mo fakafoki ki he fale tukuʻanga meʻa ngāué, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne toe manatuʻi ia. Naʻe nofo ai pe ʻa e kiʻi konga ukamea tapatolú ʻo laui taʻu, ka naʻe tupu ʻa e fuʻu ʻakau ʻo fuʻu lahi ʻaupito.

   Hili ha ngaahi taʻu lahi ʻi ha pō havili, naʻe tō ha fuʻu ʻuha lahi ʻo ne motuki ʻa e taha ʻo e ngaahi vaʻa lalahi ʻe tolu ʻo e fuʻu ʻakau lahi ko ʻení. Naʻá ne fakatupunga ʻa e ʻikai ke palanaisi ai ʻa e toenga ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú ko ia ai ne holo ai iá. Hili ʻa e matangi ko ʻení, naʻe ʻikai ha toe vaʻa ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú ʻe tuʻu.

   ʻI he hengihengi hake ʻi he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻe haʻu ai ʻa e tangata fāmá—mo e kiʻi talavoú, ke mamata ki he holo ʻa e fuʻu uolonatí. Naʻá ne fakakaukau, “Te u lava ke maʻu mei ai ha paʻanga ʻe lauiafe. Ko e toki fuʻu ʻakau fakaʻofoʻofa moʻoni ʻeni ʻi he feituʻú ni.”

   Naʻe ʻikai ke toe manatuʻi ʻe he tangata fāmá ʻa e konga ukamea fuo tapatolú, ka ʻoku kei ʻi he vahaʻa pe ia ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú. Neongo pē kuo tupu ʻa e fuʻu ʻakaú ia ʻo fuʻu lahi, ka ʻoku hanga ʻe he konga ukamea tapatolu ko ʻení ʻo fakavaivaʻi ia. Naʻe totonu foki ke ʻoua ʻe holo ʻa e fuʻu ʻakaú, ka koeʻuhí ko e laui taʻu hono tuku ai ʻo e konga ukamea tapatolú, pea ʻikai ai ke fefeka ʻa e fuʻu ʻakaú ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe totonu ke ʻi aí. Naʻe tupu ʻa e holo ʻa e fuʻu ʻakaú mei he konga ukamea tapatolu ko ʻení. Vakai, Samuela T. Uitimeni, “Ko e Konga Uakamea Naʻe Ngaló,” ko e lea naʻe fai ʻe Sipenisā W. Kimipolo, ʻi he Conference Report, ʻEpeleli, 1966, pp. 70–71.)

   • ʻOku anga fēfē ʻa e faitatau ʻa e ukamea tapatolú mo e ngaahi fakakaukau koví? ʻOku lava ke ngāue ʻo toe loloto ange ʻa e fakakaukau koví ʻi heʻetau ngaahi fakakaukaú, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e ukamea tapatolú ʻi he fuʻu ʻakaú, pea mo hoko ko ha fuʻu palōpalema lahi kia kitautolu? ʻOku totonu ke tau siʻaki leva ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau koví.

4. Aleaʻi ʻa e Lea Fakatātā 23:7. Fakakau ʻi he fealēleaʻakí ha ngaahi founga ʻe lava ai ʻe he fānaú ʻo mapuleʻi ʻa ʻenau ʻitá, ʻo hangē ko haʻo lau ki he hongofulu ʻi he taimi te nau mamahi ai pe ʻitá.

Fakaafeʻi ha taha ke ne fai ʻa e lotu tukú.
