Prophet Joseph Smith

“Naʻá ku fakahā ki he kau takí, ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko e tohi totonu taha ia ʻi he ngaahi tohi kotoa pē ʻi he māmaní, pea ko e maka-tuʻu-loto ia ʻo ʻetau tui fakalotú, pea ʻe ofi ange ha tangata ki he ʻOtuá ʻi haʻane tauhi ki hono ngaahi akonakí, ʻi ha toe tohi kehe” (talateu ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná).

• Ko fē ʻi he ngaahi lea loto falala ʻa e Palōfitá fekauʻaki mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻokú ke maʻu ha fakamoʻoni ki aí, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

• ʻOku fakatupulekina fēfē ʻe he fakamatala ʻa e Palōfitá hoʻo loto ko ia ke ako ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná?

Fakaafeʻi ʻa e kau akó ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e fakamatala ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau ngaahi folofolá ʻi he palakalafi hono ono ʻo e talateu ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, pea fokotuʻu ange ke nau tohi ʻi he tafaʻakí ʻo fakafekauʻaki ki he 1 Nīfai 13:40 mo e 2 Nīfai 25:17- 18. (Fakatokangaʻi ange: Ko e fakafekauʻakí ko ha pōtoʻi ako fakafolofola te ke lava ʻo fili ke fakamamafaʻi ʻi he kotoa ʻo e kalasi ko ení. ʻI he fakamālohia ʻe he kau akó ʻa ʻenau pōtoʻi ako fakafolofolá, ʻoku nau hoko ʻo fakafalala fakalaumālie ange kiate kinautolu.)

Fakaafeʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e kau akó ke taufetongi ʻi hono lau leʻolahi mei he 1 Nīfai 13:40 mo e 2 Nīfai 25:17-18 lolotonga hono kumi ʻe he kalasí ʻa e taumuʻa tefito ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.

(ʻOku totonu ke ʻilo ʻe he kau akó ʻa e moʻoni ko ʻení: Naʻe ʻomai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí ke fakalotoʻi ʻa e kakai kotoa pē ko Sīsū ko e Kalaisí. [Vakai foki ki he peesi talamuʻaki ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.])

• Kuo fakalotoʻi fēfē ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻa e kakaí ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí?

Fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e lea ko ʻeni naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni ʻEselā Tafu Penisoní (1899–1994), pea fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau lau fakalongolongo ia:

“ʻOku fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe he tokolahi ʻo e māmani faka-Kalisitiané ʻi he ʻahó ni ʻa e fakalangi ʻo e Fakamoʻuí. ʻOku nau fehuʻia Hono ʻaloʻi fakaofó, ʻEne moʻui haohaoá, mo e moʻoni ʻo ʻEne toetuʻu nāunauʻiá. ʻOku akoʻi ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he ngaahi lea taʻe-toe-fehalaaki kau ki he moʻoni ʻo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ko iá. ʻOku ne toe ʻomi foki ʻa e fakamatala kakato taha ki he tokāteline ʻo e Fakaleleí.

President Russell M. Nelson

“Kuó u ʻosi lau tuʻo lahi ʻa e [Tohi ʻa Molomoná]. Kuó u ʻosi lau foki mo ha ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo tohi fekauʻaki mo ia. Kuo nofotaha ha niʻihi ʻo e kau faʻu tohí ʻi hono ngaahi talanoá, kakaí, pe fakamatala ʻo e ngaahi konga ʻo e hisitōliá.

“Neongo ʻa e fakamānako ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni, ko hono ako ko ia ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko e fakapale lelei tahá ia ʻi he taimi ʻoku tāfataha ai ki hono taumuʻa tefitó—ko e fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisi. ʻI hono fakafehoanakí, ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻinga e ngaahi meʻa kehé ia.

“ʻI he taimi ʻokú ke lau ai e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, tokanga taha ki he tokotaha mahuʻinga ʻi he tohí—mei hono vahe ʻuluakí ki hono fakaʻosí—ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtua Moʻuí” (“A Testimony of the Book of Mormon,” Ensign, Nov.1999, 69).

Fakamatalaʻi ki he kau akó ʻi he hili hono akoʻi ʻe he palōfita ko ʻAlamaá ʻa e kau Sōlamí fekauʻaki mo e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e Fakamoʻuí (vakai, ʻAlamā 33:22), naʻá Ne fakaafeʻi ʻEne kau fanongó ke nau tō ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ki honau lotó koeʻuhí naʻa lava ʻo tupu. Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke lau fakalongolongo ʻa e ʻAlamā 33:22-23 pea feinga ke ʻilo ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni naʻe fakalotolahiʻiʻaki ʻe ʻAlamā ʻa ʻene kau fanongó ke nau “tō” honau lotó.

• Kuo tokoniʻi fēfē koe ʻe hoʻo ako e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ke maʻu e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻe ʻAlamaá?

Fakamatalaʻi ange ko e konga lahi ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná naʻe tohi ia ʻe ha kau faʻu tohi tefito ʻe fā: Nīfai, Sēkope, Molomona, mo Molonai. (Tuku kehe pē ʻa e ngaahi tohi ʻa ʻĪnosi, Seilomi, mo ʻAmenaí.)

Hiki e saati ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé. Ke tokoni ki he kau akó ke nau ako fekauʻaki mo e kau faʻu tohi tefito ʻe fā ko ení, fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke fili pea lau fakalongolongo ha taha ʻo e ngaahi potufolofola ko ʻení. Kole ke nau kumi pē ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne fakafeʻungaʻi ʻa e tokotaha faʻu tohí ke ne hoko ko ha fakamoʻoni mālohi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi.

Fakaʻatā ke vahevahe ʻe he kau akó e meʻa naʻa nau ako mei he potufolofola taki taha. Fehuʻi ange leva:

• Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ke mahino naʻe mamata tonu e kau faʻu tohi tefito ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná kia Sīsū Kalaisí? (ʻI hoʻomou aleaʻi ʻa e fehuʻi ko ení, tokoniʻi e kau akó ke nau ʻiloʻi ʻa e moʻoni ko ení: ʻI heʻetau ako ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻoku tau ako ʻo fekauʻaki mo Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne ngāué meiate kinautolu naʻa nau mamata mo ʻiloʻi Iá. Mahalo te ke fie fakamahinoʻi ange naʻe mamata tonu foki ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne liliu e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻa Siosefa Sāmita kia Sīsū Kalaisi.)

Tānaki atu ha kōlomu hono tolu ki he saati ʻi he palakipoé, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku hā atú:

• Ko e hā ha faleʻi te ke ʻoatu ke tokoniʻi ha tokotaha ke fakamālohia pē fakatupulaki ha fakamoʻoni ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná?

Kole ki ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi ʻa e 2 Nīfai 33:1-2 lolotonga iá, ʻoku feinga e kalasí ke ʻiloʻi pe ko e hā e mālohi ʻokú ne fakaʻatā e pōpoaki ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ke hū ki he loto ʻo ha taha.

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau fakamatalaʻi mo aleaʻi ha tefitoʻi moʻoni naʻe akoʻi mai ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení.

“Kuo pau ke tau fili ke fakaʻatā hotau lotó ki he moʻoni fakalangi ʻo e Fakamoʻuí. …‘Oku ‘ikai fakamālohiʻi kitautolu ‘e he ‘Otuá ke tau tui.
