ʻOkú ke Fie “Monūʻia mo Fiefia”?

Naʻe nofo fiefia mo uouangataha ʻa e kakai ʻi he 4 Nīfaí ʻi ha meimei taʻu ʻe 200. Ko e hā naʻe iku ki honau tuʻunga fiefiá? ʻE lava nai ke tau aʻusia foki ia?

Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Nīfaí

Fakakaukauloto ki ha kakai ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fakakikihi. ʻOku nau fiefia ʻaupito, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe faihia. ʻOku ʻikai ke nau felotokoviʻaki, pe fakahingohingoa pe fakamavahevahe ʻiate kinautolu. Ka, ʻoku nau faaitaha ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi, pea ʻoku nau tauhi ʻEne ngaahi fekaú.

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ha falukunga kakai peheni pē ʻi he 4 Nīfaí ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Pea naʻa nau moʻui pehē ʻi ha meimei taʻu ʻe 200!

ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻi he peesi 2–5 ʻo e makasini ko ʻení, ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he 4 Nīfaí ha sīpinga ʻo e moʻui melino mo e uouangataha fiefiá. Ka ko e hā e meʻa naʻe hoko naʻe tokoni ke moʻui fiefia fuoloa ʻa e kau Nīfaí? Te tau lava nai ʻo fai ʻa e meʻa tatau he ʻahó ni?

Ko ʻEnau Aʻusia mo Kalaisí

Toe foki pē ʻi ha ngaahi peesi siʻi ki he 3 Nīfaí, pea te ke ʻilo ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻe fuʻu fiefia mo faaitaha ai ʻa e kau Nīfaí ʻia Kalaisí.

Naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ki he kakaí hili ʻEne Toetuʻú. Lolotonga e ʻaʻahi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, naʻá Ne fakamoʻui ʻa kinautolu naʻe puke mo faingataʻaʻiá. Naʻá Ne tāpuakiʻi fakafoʻituitui ʻa e kakaí mo lotu ki he Tamai Hēvaní maʻanautolu (vakai, 3 Nīfai 17). Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi fekaú. Naʻá ne kole ki he kakaí ke nau fakatomala, papitaiso, pea maʻu ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní (vakai, 3 Nīfai 27).

Naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kakaí ke nau haʻu taha taha kiate Ia, ke ala ki he ngaahi matakafó ʻi Hono ongo toʻukupú, toʻukupu kelekelé, mo e vakavaká. Naʻa nau takitaha ʻalu kia Sīsū “kae ʻoua kuo ʻalu atu kotoa pē, ʻo nau mamata ʻaki honau matá mo ala ʻaki honau nimá, pea nau ʻiloʻi pau” ko Ia ʻa e Fakamoʻui ne kikiteʻí (vakai, 3 Nīfai 11:15).

Hili e ʻaʻahi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ki he kau Nīfaí, naʻe “fakaului ʻa e kakai kotoa pē ki he ʻEikí” (4 Nīfai 1:2). Ko ia, te tau aʻusia fēfē ʻa e ului ko ʻení ʻo ʻikai te tau mamata mo ala kia Kalaisí?

Ko e Aʻusia ʻa ha ʻAposetolo mo Kalaisí

Naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa ʻEletā Pulusi R. Makongikī (1915–1985) ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá te ne mamata ʻi ha ʻaho kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo ala ki he ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻi Hono ongo toʻukupú mo e toʻukupu kelekelé. Naʻá ne fakamoʻoni foki, “He ʻikai ke u toe ʻilo lelei ange he taimi ko iá ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi he taimi ní, ko e ʻAlo Ia ʻo e ʻOtua Māfimafí [Kalaisi], ko Ia ʻa hotau Fakamoʻuí mo e Huhuʻí.” Naʻe ʻikai fiemaʻu ia ke ne mamata kia Sīsū Kalaisi ke ne ʻiloʻi Ia mo aʻusia ʻa e uluí.

Ko e ului moʻoní “ʻoku fiemaʻu ia ke tau fakahoko pea hoko.” Naʻe kole ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ki he kau Nīfaí ke nau muimui ki Heʻene ngaahi fekaú pea hoko ʻo hangē ko Iá (vakai, 3 Nīfai 27). Lolotonga ʻenau muimui ʻiate Iá, naʻa nau kei ului pē kia Kalaisi pea naʻe tāpuekina lahi kinautolu ai (vakai, 4 Nīfai 1:18).

Ko Hoʻo Aʻusia mo Kalaisí

He ʻikai te ke lava he taimí ni ʻo ala ki he toʻukupu mo e toʻukupu kelekele ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻo hangē ko e kau Nīfaí, ka te ke lava ʻo molomolo muivaʻe ʻiate Ia (vakai, 3 Nīfai 27:21). ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, pea ʻokú Ne fakaafeʻi koe ke ke maʻu ha ngaahi aʻusia fakataautaha mo Ia.

Te ke lava ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻa Kalaisi ʻaki hono tauhi ʻEne ngaahi fekaú mo fai ʻa e meʻa naʻá Ne mei faí. Te ke lava ʻo ongoʻi ʻa e mālohi ʻo ʻEne Fakaleleí ʻaki haʻo fakatomala fakaʻaho. Te Ne tāpuakiʻi mo fakamoʻui koe, mo tautapa ki he Tamaí maʻau, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá Ne fai ki he kau Nīfaí. ʻI hoʻo ʻiloʻi e Fakamoʻuí mo ngāue ki he ului fakatāutahá, ʻe hangē ange hoʻo moʻuí ko e kakai ʻi he 4 Nīfaí—fiefia, nonga, mohu tāpuekina, pea fonu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá.
