Ngaahi Foha mo e Ngaahi ʻOfefine ʻo e ʻOtuá
ʻOku tau tui moʻoni ko e fānau kotoa kitautolu ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea koeʻuhí ko ia, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e tuʻunga malava ke hoko ʻo hangē ko Iá.
ʻOku ou fie lea ʻi he ʻahó ni ʻo kau ki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi moʻoni fakafiefia, nāunauʻia, mo mālohi ʻo e ongoongoleleí kuo fakahā ʻe he ʻOtuá. ʻI he taimi tatau, ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi meʻa kuo fakaangaʻi ai kitautolú. Naʻe fakaloloto ʻe ha aʻusia naʻá ku maʻu ʻi he ngaahi taʻu kuohilí ʻa ʻeku houngaʻia ʻi he moʻoni ʻo e ko ʻeni ongoongoleleí.
ʻI heʻeku hoko ko ha fakafofonga ʻo e Siasí, naʻe fakaafeʻi au ki ha konifelenisi fakalotu ʻa ia naʻe talaki ai ʻe kamata mei he momeniti ko iá ʻa ʻenau tali ʻoku ʻaonga ʻa e papitaiso kotoa ʻoku fai ʻe he meimei siasi faka-Kalisitiane kotoa, kehe pē ke fakahoko ʻa e ouaú ʻaki ʻa e vai ʻi he huafa ʻo e Tamaí mo e ʻAló pea mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. Hili ia, pea toki fakamatalaʻi ko e tuʻutuʻuni ko ʻení ʻoku ʻikai kau ai ʻa e papitaiso ʻoku fai ʻe he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní.
Naʻá ku lava ʻi he ʻosi ʻa e konifelenisí ke fakatotolo lahi ange ki he ʻuhinga ʻo e taʻofi makehe ko ʻení mo e taki naʻá ne fakahoko ʻa e fanongonongó. Naʻá ma fakahoko ha talanoa lelei mo mahino.
Ko hono fakanounoú, naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi mai ko e taʻofi ko ʻení ʻoku fakatefito pē ia ʻi heʻetau tui fekauʻaki mo e Toluʻi ʻOtuá, ʻa ē ʻoku faʻa ui ʻe he ngaahi siasi faka-Kalisitiané ko e Tolu Tahaʻi ʻOtuá. Naʻá ku fakahoko ange ʻeku houngaʻia ʻi hono taimi ke fakamatalaʻi mai ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuí pea mo e tuʻutuʻuni hono siasí. ʻI he ʻosi ʻema pōtalanoá, naʻá ma fāʻofua peá ma fepōpoakiʻaki.
ʻI heʻeku fakakaukauloto kimui ange ki heʻema talanoá, naʻe nofo ʻi heʻeku fakakaukaú ʻa e meʻa naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he taki ko ʻení ʻoku ʻikai mahino ki he Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne ui ko e “misiteli ʻo e Tolu Tahaʻi ʻOtuá.” Ko e hā e meʻa naʻá ne ʻuhinga ki aí? ʻIo, naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo ʻetau mahino ki he natula ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku tau tui ko e ʻOtua ko e Tamaí ko ha “taha kuo hakeakiʻi” mo ha “sino [nāunauʻia] ʻo e kakano mo e hui ʻoku ongoʻingofua tatau mo e sino ʻo e tangatá [pea] pehē foki mo e ʻAló.” Ko e taimi kotoa pē ʻoku tau talanoa ai ki he natula ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻoku tau toe talanoa ai ʻi ha founga ki hotau natulá.
Pea ʻoku moʻoni ʻeni, ʻo ʻikai koeʻuhí pē he naʻe ngaohi kotoa kitautolu “ʻi [Hono] tataú mo [Hono] angá,” ka koeʻuhí foki, hangē ko hono lekooti ʻe he Tangata Faʻu Sāmé, naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, “Ko e ngaahi ‘otua ‘a kimoutolu; pea ko e fānau ʻa e Fungani Māʻolungá ʻa kimoutolu kotoa pē.” Ko e tokāteline mahuʻinga ʻeni kiate kitautolu kuo maʻu fakataha mo hono Fakafoki mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí. Ko hono fakanounoú, ʻoku ʻikai toe kehe ia mo e meʻa ʻoku akoʻi ʻe heʻetau kau faifekaú ʻi he lēsoni ʻuluakí, palakalafi ʻuluakí, laine ʻuluakí: “Ko e ʻOtuá ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní, pea ko kitautolú ko ʻEne fānau.”
Sai, te ke ala pehē “Ka ʻoku tui ha kakai tokolahi ko e fānau kitautolu ʻa e ʻOtuá.” ʻIo, ko e moʻoni ia, ka ʻe lava ke kiʻi kehe ʻenau mahinó mei he fakakaukau ʻoku tau fakamamafaʻi ki hono ʻuhinga lolotó. Ki he Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí, ko e akonakí ni ʻoku ʻikai ko ha fakataipe. Ka, ʻoku tau tui moʻoni ko kitautolú kotoa ko e fānau moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko Ia ʻa e “Tamai ʻo [hotau] laumālié,”6 pea koeʻuhí ko ʻene peheé, ʻoku tau malava ke hoko ʻo tatau mo Ia, ʻa ia ʻoku ngali taʻe-mafakakaukaua ki ha niʻihi.
Kuo laka ʻeni ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 200 tupu mei he fakaava ʻe he ʻUluaki Mata Meʻa-Hā-Maí ʻa e ngaahi matapā ki hono Fakafoki Mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí. ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe kumi fakahinohino ʻa e talavou ko Siosefa Sāmitá mei he langí ke ne ʻilo ʻa e siasi ke kau ki aí. ʻI he fakahā naʻe fai kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, pea ʻi he ngaahi fakahā kimui naʻe fai kiate iá, naʻe maʻu ai ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefá ʻa e ʻilo ki he natula ʻo e ʻOtuá mo hotau vā fetuʻutaki mo Ia ko ʻEne fānaú.
Koeʻuhí ko ia, ʻoku tau ʻilo lelei ange ai naʻe ʻosi akoʻi ʻe heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ʻa e tokāteline mahuʻingá ni mei he kamataʻangá pē. Tuku muʻa ke u fakamatalaʻi atu ha talanoa ʻe ua mei he folofolá ke fakatātaaʻi ʻaki ʻeni.
Mahalo te mou manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakahinohino ʻa e ʻOtuá kia Mōsese ʻoku lekooti ʻi he Mataʻitofe Mahuʻingá.
ʻOku tau lau ai “Pea naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē: Vakai, ko e ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua Māfimafí au, pea ko Lauikuonga hoku hingoá.” Ko hono ʻai ʻe tahá, Mōsese, ʻOku ou fiemaʻu ke ke ʻilo ko hai au. Peá Ne hoko atu leva, “Pea vakai, ko hoku foha koe.” Naʻá Ne folofola kimui ange, “Pea ʻoku ʻi ai haʻaku ngāue ke ke fai, ʻe Mōsese, ko hoku foha; pea ʻokú ke ʻi he tatau ʻo hoku ʻAlo pē Taha naʻe Fakatupú.” Pea fakamulituku ʻakí, naʻá Ne folofola, “Pea ko ʻeni, vakai, ko e meʻa ʻeni ʻe taha ʻoku ou fakahā kiate koé, ʻe Mōsese, ko hoku foha.”
ʻOku ngali naʻe finangalo ʻa e ʻOtuá ke Ne akoʻi kia Mōsese ha foʻi moʻoni ʻe taha: “Ko hoku foha koe,” ʻa ia naʻe tuʻo tolu ʻEne folofola ʻakí. Naʻe ʻikai ke Ne malava ke folofola ʻaki ʻa e hingoa ʻo Mōsesé kae ʻikai tānaki atu ko Hono foha ia.
Neongo ia, hili ʻa e nofo toko taha ʻa Mōsesé, naʻá ne ongoʻi vaivai he naʻe ʻikai ke ne toe ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko e taimi ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Sētane ke fakataueleʻi iá. ʻOkú ke lava nai ke fakatokangaʻi ha sīpinga heni? Ko e fuofua meʻa naʻá ne lea ʻakí, “Mōsese, foha ʻo e tangata, ke ke hū kiate au.”
ʻI he tuʻunga ko ʻení, ko e kole ʻa Sētane ke hū ange kiate iá mahalo ko hano tohoakiʻi pē ʻene tokangá. Ko ha ʻahiʻahi lahi kia Mōsese ʻi he taimi ko ia ʻo e vaivaí ke puputuʻu mo tui ko ha “foha pē ia ʻo e tangatá,” kae ʻikai ko ha fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá.
“Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē naʻe vakai atu ʻa Mōsese kia Sētane peá ne pehē ange: Ko hai koe? He vakai, ko e foha au ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻi he tatau ʻo hono ʻAlo pē Taha naʻe Fakatupú.” Meʻa-mālié, naʻe ʻikai puputuʻu ʻa Mōsese pea naʻe ʻikai ke ne tuku ke takihalaʻi ia. Kuó ne ʻosi ako ʻa e lēsoni pe ko hai moʻoni iá.
ʻOku maʻu ʻa e talanoa hono uá ʻi he Mātiu 4. Kuo ui ʻeni ʻe he kau potó “ko e ʻahiʻahi ʻe tolu ʻo Sīsuú,” ʻo hangē naʻe tuʻo tolu pē hono ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻo e ʻEikí, kae hili ko iá naʻe ʻikai ke pehē.
Kuo fakaʻaongaʻi ha kālani vaitohi ʻe laungeau ke fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ko ʻení. Hangē ko ia ʻoku tau ʻiloʻí, ʻoku kamata ʻa e vahé ʻaki hono fakamatalaʻi naʻe fononga ʻa Sīsū ki he toafá, “pea hili ʻene ʻaukai ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulú, naʻe toki fiekaia ia.”
Ko e ʻuluaki ʻahiʻahi ʻa Sētané naʻe fekauʻaki pē ia mo hono feau ʻo e ngaahi fiemaʻu fakatuʻasino ʻa e ʻEikí. Naʻá ne poleʻi e Fakamoʻuí, “Fekau ki he ngaahi maká ni ke liliu ko e mā.”
Ko e fakatauele hono uá naʻe pau ke fekauʻaki ia mo hono ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻo e ʻOtuá: “Fakatō koe ki lalo; he kuo tohi, ʻE fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau ʻāngeló ke nau vakai koe.”
Fakaʻosí, naʻe fekauʻaki ʻa e ʻahiʻahi hono tolu ʻa Sētané mo e ngaahi holi mo e lāngilangi ʻo māmaní. ʻI he hili hono fakahā kia Sīsū ʻa e “ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmaní, … [naʻe] pehē ange [ʻe Sētane] kiate ia, Te u ʻatu ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa pē [maʻau], ʻo kapau te ke fakatōmapeʻe ʻo hū kiate au.”
Ko hono moʻoní, ko e ʻahiʻahi taupotu ʻa Sētané naʻe mei siʻi ange haʻane fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa pau ko ia ʻe tolú kae fekauʻaki lahi ange mo hono ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ke ne fehuʻia Hono natula fakalangí. Naʻe meimei ke tuʻo ua, ʻa e muʻomuʻa ʻi he fakatauelé ʻa hono fakahoko ʻe Sētane ha pole “Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻo e ʻOtuá”—kapau ʻokú ke tui moʻoni ki ai, peá ke fai ʻeni pe ko ē.
Kātaki ʻo fakatokangaʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe hoko kimuʻa pea hāʻele ʻa Sīsū ki he toafá ke ʻaukai mo lotú: ʻoku tau ʻilo ai ʻa e talanoa ki he papitaiso ʻo Kalaisí. Pea ʻi Heʻene ʻalu hake mei he vaí, naʻe ongo mai “ha leʻo mei he langí, ʻo pehē, Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻangá ʻeni ʻa ia ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi aí.”
ʻOku tau fakatokangaʻi nai ʻa e fehokotakí? ʻOku tau lava nai ʻo fakatokangaʻi ha sīpinga heni?
ʻOku ʻikai ha ofo ko e taimi kotoa pē ʻoku akoʻi ai kitautolu fekauʻaki mo hotau natula mo e ikuʻanga fakalangí, ʻoku fakataueleʻi kitautolu ʻe he fili ʻo e māʻoniʻoni kotoá ke tau fehuʻia kinautolu.
ʻE kehe ʻetau filí kapau te tau ʻiloʻi moʻoni kitautolu.
ʻOku tau moʻui ʻi ha maama faingataʻa, ko ha maama ʻoku fakautuutu ai ʻa e vātaú, ʻa ia ʻoku feinga ha kakai lelei ke fakamamafaʻi hotau ngeia fakaetangatá, ka ʻoku tau kau ki ha siasi mo pukenimā ha ongoongolelei ʻoku hiki hake ai ʻetau vīsoné mo fakaafeʻi kitautolu ki he tuʻunga fakalangí.
Ko e fekau ʻa Sīsū ke tau “haohaoa … he ʻoku haohaoa [ʻetau] Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langí” ko ha ʻata mahino ia ʻo ʻEne fakaʻānaua māʻolungá mo e ngaahi meʻa taʻengata te tau lavá. He ʻikai hoko vave ha taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻá ni. ʻI he fakalea ʻa Palesiteni Sefilī R. Hōlaní, ʻe “fāifai” ʻo hoko ia. Ka ko e palōmesí kapau te tau “haʻu kia Kalaisi” ʻe “fakahaohaoaʻi kitautolu ʻiate ia.” ʻOku fiemaʻu ki ai ha ngāue lahi—ʻo ʻikai ha faʻahinga ngāue pē, ka ko ha ngāue fakalangi. Ko ʻEne ngāué!
Ka, ko e ongoongo leleí he ko ʻetau Tamai ʻi he Langí tonu naʻe folofola, “He vakai, ko ʻeku ngāué ʻeni mo hoku nāunaú—ke fakahoko ʻa e moʻui taʻe-faʻa-mate mo e moʻui taʻengata ʻa e tangatá.”
ʻOku fakahoʻata ʻe he fakaafe ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ke “fakakaukau fakasilesitialé” ha fakamanatu fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo hotau natula fakalangí, tupuʻangá, mo e ikuʻanga te tau ala aʻusiá. Te tau lava ke maʻu ʻa e silesitialé ʻi he feilaulau fakalelei pē ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.
Mahalo ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻe fakataueleʻi ai ʻe Sētane ʻa Sīsū ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi tatau tofu pē mei he kamataʻanga ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻEne ngāue ʻi māmaní. Naʻe lekooti ʻe Mātiu, lolotonga hono tutuki ʻo Sīsū ʻi he kolosí, “naʻe manukiʻi ia ʻe kinautolu naʻe feʻaluʻakí, … ʻo nau pehē, … Kapau ko e ʻAlo koe ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻalu hifo mei he ʻakaú.” Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtuá he naʻe ʻikai ke Ne fanongo ka naʻá Ne tofa ʻa e hala ke tau maʻu ai ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki fakasilesitialé kotoa.
Tau manatuʻi maʻu pē muʻa naʻe ʻi ai ha totongi kāfakafa naʻe fai ke tau fiefia ai.
ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni hangē ko e ʻAposetolo ko Paulá “ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumālie pē ko iá mo hotau laumālié, ko e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa kitautolu: pea kapau ko e fānau, pea tā ko e kau ʻea-hoko; ko e kau hoko ki he ʻOtuá, pea ko e kau hoko fakataha mo Kalaisi; ʻo kapau te tau mamahi mo ia, koeʻuhí ke tau maʻu ʻa e hakeakiʻí fakataha mo ia.” ʻI he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻēmeni.
