Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e Mālohinga ʻo e Mātuʻá

Tokoniʻi hoʻo fānaú ke fakatupulaki ʻenau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻofa ʻi Heʻene ongoongoleleí mo Hono Siasí, pea mateuteu ki ha moʻui ʻo e ngaahi fili ʻoku māʻoniʻoní.

Pehē tokua naʻe ʻi ai ha tamai naʻe ʻamanaki ke ne ʻalu ki ha fakataha efiafi ʻa e kau pīsopelikí. Naʻe tuʻu hake hono ʻofefine taʻu faá ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia, ʻokú ne tui vala mohe mo pukepuke ha tatau ʻo e Ngaahi Talanoa ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.

Naʻá ne fehuʻi ange, “Ko e hā ʻokú ke ʻalu ai ʻo fakatahá?”

Naʻe tali ange [ʻe he tamaí], “Koeʻuhí ko au ʻoku tokoni ʻi he kau pīsopelikí.”

Naʻe fakafepaki ange hono ʻofefiné, “Ka ko ʻeku tamaí koe!”

Naʻe tūʻulutui hifo ʻa e tamaí ʻi muʻa ʻi hono ʻofefiné. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻOfaʻanga, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻokú ke loto ke u laukonga atu kiate koe mo fakamohemohe koe, ka ko e pōní ʻoku fiemaʻu ke u tokoni ki he pīsopé.”

Naʻe tali ange hono ʻofefiné, “Meʻa ní ʻoku ʻikai ha tamai ia ʻa e pīsopé ke fakamohemohe ia?”

ʻOku mau houngaʻia moʻoni ʻi he kāingalotu taʻefaʻalaua ʻoku nau ngāue faivelenga ʻi he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. ʻOku toputapu moʻoni hoʻomou feilaulaú.

Ka ʻoku hangē ko e meʻa naʻe ngali mahino ki he kiʻi taʻahine ko ʻení, ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻoku toputapu tatau tofu pē—ko ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai lava ʻo fetongi—ʻa ia ko hono lehilehiʻi ʻe ha mātuʻa ha fānaú. ʻOkú ne fakahaaʻi mai ʻa e sīpinga ʻi hēvaní.1 ʻOku fiefia moʻoni ʻa ʻetau Tamai ʻi Hēvaní, ʻa ʻetau Mātuʻa Fakalangí, ʻi he taimi ʻoku akonakiʻi mo lehilehiʻi ai ʻa ʻEne fānaú ʻe heʻenau ngaahi mātuʻa ʻi māmaní.2

Ngaahi mātuʻa, fakamālō atu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou fai ke ohi hake ai hoʻomou fānaú. Pea ki he fānaú, fakamālō atu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻokú ke fai ke ohi hake hoʻo mātuʻá, he ʻoku hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻe he mātuʻá, ʻoku tau faʻa ako ha meʻa lahi mei heʻetau fānaú fekauʻaki mo e tuí, ʻamanaki leleí, mo e manavaʻofá ʻo hangē pē ko ʻenau ako meiate kitautolú!3

ʻOku Maʻu ʻe he Mātuʻá ha Fatongia Toputapu

Kuó ke fakakaukau nai ki he lahi ʻo e tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku fuesia ʻe heʻetau Tamai ʻi Hēvaní ʻi he taimi kotoa pē ʻokú Ne fekauʻi mai ai ha fānau ki he māmaní? Ko ʻEne ngaahi foha mo e ngaahi ʻofefine fakalaumālié ʻeni. ʻOku taʻe-fakangatangata honau ivi malavá. ʻOku fakataumuʻa ke nau hoko ko e kakai nāunauʻia ʻo e leleí, ʻaloʻofá mo e moʻoní. Ka ‘oku nau omi ki he māmaní ʻoku nau mātuʻaki feifeiavale, ʻo ʻikai malava ke fai ha meʻa ka ko e tangi pē ki ha tokoni. ʻOku fakangaloki mei heʻenau manatú ʻa honau taimi ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá, fakataha mo e ʻilo ko ia pe ko hai kinautolú pea mo e tuʻunga te nau lava ʻo aʻusiá. ʻOku nau faʻu ʻenau mahino ki he moʻuí, ʻofá, ʻOtuá pea mo ʻEne palaní ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he meʻa ʻoku nau mamata ki ai mei he kakai ʻi honau ʻātakaí—tautautefito ki heʻenau mātuʻá, ʻa ia ʻoku nau kei feinga ke ʻilo ʻa e meʻa ke nau faí.

Pēpē toki fāʻeleʻi

Kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtuá ki he ngaahi mātuʻá ʻa e “fatongia toputapu ke ohi hake ʻa ʻenau fānaú ʻi he ʻofa mo e māʻoniʻoni, mo tokonaki maʻa ʻenau ngaahi fiemaʻu fakatuʻasinó mo e fakalaumālié, pea hinoiʻi kinautolu ke nau … tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá.”4

ʻOku ongoʻi ʻe he mātuʻá, naʻa mo e mātuʻa lelei tahá, ʻa e lahi honau fatongia maʻá e fānaú pea ʻoku ʻikai ai ke nau lava ʻo mohe ʻi he poʻulí.

Ko ʻeku pōpoaki ʻeni ki he ngaahi mātuʻa kotoa pē:

ʻOku ʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ʻiate kimoutolu.

ʻOkú Ne ʻiate kimoutolu.

ʻOkú Ne poupoua kimoutolu.

ʻOkú Ne hoko ko homou mālohinga ʻi hono tataki hoʻomou fānaú ke nau fai ha ngaahi fili ʻoku māʻoniʻoní.

Tali ʻa e faingamālié mo e fatongiá ʻi he loto-toʻa mo e loto-fiefia. ʻOua naʻá ke vahe ʻa e faʻahinga maʻuʻanga ʻo e tāpuaki fakalangi ko ʻení ki ha taha kehe. ʻI he puipuituʻa ʻo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga mo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí, ko koe ʻoku totonu ke ke tataki hoʻo fānaú ʻi he ngaahi fakaikiiki ʻo e fili ʻi he moʻui fakaʻahó. Tokoniʻi hoʻo fānaú ke fakatupulaki ʻenau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí; ʻofa ʻi Heʻene ongoongoleleí mo Hono Siasí, pea mateuteu ki ha moʻui ʻo e ngaahi fili ʻoku māʻoniʻoní. Ko hono moʻoní, ko e palani ia ʻa e ʻOtuá maʻá e ngaahi mātuʻá.

ʻE fakafepakiʻi koe ʻe Sētane, takihalaʻi koe mo feinga ke ke loto-foʻi.

Ka kuo maʻu ʻe he fānau kotoa pē ʻa e Maama ʻo Kalaisí ʻiate ia ke ne ongoʻi ʻa e ivi tākiekina fakalangí. Pea ʻe tokoniʻi koe ʻe he Fakamoʻuí, tataki koe, mo fakalotolahiʻi koe. Fekumi ki Heʻene tokoní. Fehuʻi ki he ʻEikí!

Ko e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí

Hangē pē ko e hoko ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko e mālohinga ʻo e toʻu tupú, ʻoku toe hoko foki ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko e mālohinga ʻo e mātuʻá.

ʻOkú Ne Fakalahi ʻa e ʻOfá

Mahalo te tau fifili ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi pe ʻoku ‘i ai nai ha taha ʻoku feʻunga ange ke tataki mo hinoiʻi ʻetau fānaú. Ka ʻoku tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa e lahi hoʻo ongoʻi taʻefeʻungá, ʻokú ke maʻu ha meʻa ʻokú ne fakafeʻungaʻi makehe koe: ko hoʻo ʻofa ki hoʻo fānaú.

Ko e ʻofa ʻa e mātuʻá ki he fānaú ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi ivi mālohi taha ʻi he ʻunivēsí. Ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi meʻa siʻi ʻi he māmaní ʻe lava ke taʻengata moʻoní.

Mahalo ʻokú ke ongoʻi ko hoʻo vā fetuʻutaki mo hoʻo fānaú ʻoku ʻikai ko e lelei tahá. Ko e taimi ia ‘oku hū mai ai ʻa e mālohi ʻo e Fakamoʻuí. ʻOkú ne fakamoʻui ʻa e mahakí, pea te Ne lava ʻo fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi vā fetuʻutakí. ʻOkú ne fakalahi ʻa e maá mo e mataʻi iká, pea te Ne lava ʻo fakalahi ʻa e ʻofá mo e fiefiá ʻi homou ʻapí.

ʻOku hoko hoʻo ʻofa ʻi hoʻo fānaú ke fakatupu ai ha ʻātakai ʻoku lelei mo feʻunga ʻaupito ki hono akonakiʻi ʻo e moʻoní mo hono langaki ʻo e tuí. Ngaohi hoʻo ʻapí ke hoko ko ha fale ʻo e lotu, ako mo e tui; ko ha fale ʻo e ngaahi aʻusia fakafiefia; ko ha feituʻu ʻo e kau fakataha; ko ha fale ʻo e ʻOtuá.5 Pea “lotu ki he Tamaí ʻaki ʻa e ivi kotoa ʻo e lotó, koeʻuhi ke fakafonu [koe] ʻaki ʻa [ʻEne] ʻofá … ʻa ia kuó ne foaki … [ki he kau] muimui … ʻi hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí.”6

ʻOkú Ne Fakalahi ʻa e Fanga Kiʻi Ngāue Iiki mo Faingofuá

Ko ha mālohinga ʻe taha ʻokú ke maʻu ʻi hoʻo hoko ko e mātuʻá, ko e faingamālie ki ha ivi tākiekina fakaʻaho maʻu peé. Ko e ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, kau faiakó mo e kakai ʻi he mītia fakasōsialé ʻoku nau fakataimi pē. Ka te ke lava ʻo hoko ko e ivi tākiekina ʻoku ʻi ai maʻu pē mo tuʻupau ʻi he moʻui ʻa hoʻo fānaú.

Mahalo ʻe ngali ʻikai mahuʻinga hoʻo ngaahi ngāué ʻi hono fakafehoanaki ki he ngaahi leʻo ʻiloa ʻoku fanongo ki ai hoʻo fānaú ʻi he māmaní. ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, mahalo te ke ongoʻi ʻoku ʻikai ke ke fuʻu lavameʻa fēfē. Ka ke manatuʻi “ʻoku lava ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo fakahoko ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi founga īkí ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu meʻa lalahí.”7 Mahalo he ʻikai hoko ʻa e efiafi fakafāmili ʻe tahá, ko e talanoa tuʻo taha ki he ongoongoleleí pe tā sīpinga lelei ʻe tahá ke liliu vave ai ʻa e moʻui ʻa hoʻo fānaú, ʻo tatau pē mo e ʻikai lava ʻe he tulutā vai ʻe tahá ʻo fakatupu ha fuʻu ʻakau ʻi he taimi pē ko iá. Ka ʻoku hoko ʻa e fanga kiʻi meʻa iiki mo faingofua ʻoku toutou fakahoko ʻi he ʻaho ki he ʻahó, ke ne fafanga fakalaumālie ai hoʻo fānaú ʻo lelei ange ia ʻi hono ʻoange ha tākiekina fakalaumālie ʻoku lahí kae tātaaitaha peé.8

Ko e founga ia ʻa e ʻEikí. ʻOkú Ne folofola kiate koe mo hoʻo fānaú ʻi ha kihiʻi leʻosiʻi, kae ʻikai ko ha ʻuʻulu ʻo ha mana.9 Naʻe ʻikai ke Ne fakamoʻui ʻa Neamani ʻo fakafou ʻi “ha meʻa lahi” ka ʻi he ngāue faingofua hono toutou fakahoko pē ʻo e fufulú.10 Naʻe fiefia ʻa e fānau ʻIsilelí ʻi he maʻu meʻatokoni mei he kueilí ʻi he toafá, ka ko e meʻa naʻá ne tauhi kinautolu ke nau moʻuí ko e fanga kiʻi mana iiki mo faingofua ʻo e maná—ʻa ʻenau mā fakaʻahó.11

ʻE kāinga, ʻoku lelei taha ange ke teuteuʻi mo tufaki ʻa e meʻakai fakaʻahó ʻi ʻapi. ʻOku tanumaki lelei taha ʻa e tuí mo e fakamoʻoní ʻi he ngaahi founga angamaheni mo fakanatulá, ʻo fakatupulaki ʻaki ʻi he sitepu ʻe taha ʻi he taimi pē ʻe taha, ʻi he ngaahi momeniti ʻoku iiki mo faingofuá ʻi he hokohoko atu ʻa e moʻui fakaʻahó.12

Ko e momeniti kotoa pē ko ha momeniti akoʻi. Ko e ngaahi lea mo e tōʻonga kotoa pē ko ha fakahinohino ki hono fai hoʻo filí.13

Mahalo he ʻikai te ke sio ki he ngaahi ola hoʻo ngāué ʻi he taimi pē ko iá. Kae ʻoua naʻá ke loto-foʻi ai. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo pehē, “Kuo pau ke hoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi honau taimí. Ko ia, ʻoua [naʻa mou] fiu ʻi he faileleí, he [ʻoku mou] ʻai ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo ha ngāue lahi.”14 Ko e hā ha ngāue ʻe toe mahuʻinga ange ʻi hono tokoniʻi ʻa e fānau pelepelengesi ʻa e ʻOtuá ke nau ʻilo ko hai kinautolu mo langaki ʻenau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ko ʻEne ongoongoleleí, pea mo Hono Siasí? ʻE faitāpuekina mo fakalahi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi hoʻo ngaahi ngāué maʻu pē.

ʻOkú Ne ʻOmi ʻa e Fakahā

Ko ha founga mālohi ʻe taha ʻoku poupouʻi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻá ʻoku fakafou ia ʻi he meʻaʻofa ʻo e fakahā fakafoʻituituí. ʻOku vēkeveke ʻa e ʻOtuá ke lilingi hifo Hono Laumālié ke tataki ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻá.

ʻI hoʻomou lotua mo ongoʻingofua ʻa e Laumālié, te Ne fakatokanga atu ʻo kau ki he ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku pulipuliá.15 Te Ne fakahā atu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa-foaki, ʻenau mālohinga, mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hohaʻa ki ai hoʻo fānaú ʻoku ʻikai ke nau lea ʻakí. ʻE tokoniʻi koe ʻe he ʻOtuá ke ke vakai ki hoʻo fānaú ʻi he founga ʻokú Ne ʻafio ai kiate kinautolú—ʻo ope atu ʻi honau fōtunga ki tuʻá pea aʻu ki honau lotó.17

Te ke lava ʻo ako ke ʻiloʻi hoʻo fānaú ʻi ha founga ʻoku haohaoa mo fakalangi ʻi he tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku ou fakaafeʻi kimoutolu ke mou tali ʻa e tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá ke tataki hoʻo fāmilí ʻaki ʻa e fakahā fakafoʻituituí. Lotua ʻo fekumi ʻEne tatakí.18

Ko Ha Fuʻu Liliu Lahi

Mahalo ko e tokoni mahuʻinga taha ʻoku ʻomi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ki he ngaahi mātuʻá ko ha “fuʻu liliu lahi” ʻo e lotó.19 Ko ha mana ia ʻoku tau fiemaʻu kotoa pē.

Kiʻi fakakaukauloto angé ki he tūkunga ko ʻení: ʻOkú ke ʻi he lotú, ʻo fanongo ki ha lea fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fāmilí. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he tokotaha leá ha ʻapi haohaoa pea mo ha fāmili haohaoa ange. Ko ha husepāniti mo ha uaifi ʻoku ʻikai pē ke na teitei kē. ʻOku toki tuku pē ʻa e lau folofola ʻa e fānaú ʻi he taimi ke fai ai ʻa e ngāue fakaako mei ʻapí. Pea ʻoku lolotonga tā ʻa e foʻi hiva “Ke Mou Feʻofaʻaki”20 ʻi he taimi ko iá. Kimuʻa pea hoko atu ʻa e tokotaha leá ki he konga fekauʻaki mo e kau fiefia mai ʻa e taha kotoa ke nau fufulu ʻa e falekaukaú, ʻokú ke ʻosi fakakaukau koe, “ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻamanaki lelei ki hoku fāmilí.”

Siʻi kāinga, mou fiemālie! ʻOku fakakaukau ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻi he haʻofangá ki he meʻa tatau! Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku hohaʻa ʻa e mātuʻa kotoa pē ki he ʻikai ke lelei feʻungá.

Ko e meʻamālié, ʻoku ʻi ai ha maʻuʻanga tokoni fakalangi maʻá e ngaahi mātuʻá: Ko Sīsū Kalaisi. Ko Ia ʻoku maʻu mei ai ʻa e fuʻu liliu lahi ʻo e lotó.

ʻI hoʻo fakaava ho lotó ki he Fakamoʻuí mo ʻEne ngaahi akonakí, te Ne fakahaaʻi atu ho ngaahi vaivaí. Kapau te ke falala kia Sīsū Kalaisi ʻaki ʻa e loto-fakatōkilalo, te ne ʻai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa vaivaí ko ha mālohinga.21 Ko e ʻOtua Ia ʻo e ngaahi maná.

ʻOku ʻuhinga nai ia ʻokú ke haohaoa koe mo hoʻo fāmilí? ʻIkai. Ka te ke fakaʻau ʻo lelei ange. ʻE fakafou ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻa hoʻo fakatupulaki māmālie ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe he ngaahi mātuʻá: ʻa e ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá mo ʻEne fānaú, faʻa kātakí, taʻesiokitá, tui kia Kalaisí, mo e loto-toʻa ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonú.

ʻOku ʻOmi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e Tokoní ʻo fakafou ʻi Hono Siasí

Ko e ngāue ko ia ke fakatupulaki ʻa e tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí ʻoku fakatefito ia ʻi ʻapi, ʻo nofotaha ʻi he fakafoʻituituí. Pea ʻoku poupouʻi ia ʻe he Siasí.
