Māʻata mo Mele
ʻOku mahuʻinga ke tau tali mo muimui kia Kalaisi ʻaki e kotoa ʻo hotau lotó mo e ʻatamaí, neongo pe ko e hā e founga ʻoku tau fili ke tokoni aí.
ʻI ha kuonga ne lahi ai e puputuʻú ʻi Selusalema pe ko hai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, naʻe akoʻi ai ʻe Sīsū, “Ko ia ia ʻe fai ki hono finangaló, te ne ʻilo ʻa e [tokāteliné]” (Sione 7:17). Kapau ʻoku tau fie maʻu ke fakalaka atu ʻi hono ako ʻataʻatā pē e tokāteliné pea ʻilo ko hai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi mo hoko ko ʻEne ākonga, kuo pau ke tau ngāueʻi ʻetau tuí. ʻOku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he talanoa ʻo Māʻata mo Melé ʻoku lahi ha ngaahi founga ke tau tokoni ai ki he Fakamoʻuí ʻi heʻetau moʻuí.
Hili pē ha taimi siʻi mei he malanga ko ʻení, naʻe hāʻele atu ʻa Sīsū mo ha niʻihi ʻo ʻEne kau ākongá ki he ʻapi ʻo Māʻatá ʻi Pētani ke akoʻi e ongoongoleleí. Naʻe toʻo ʻe Māʻata e fatongia tefito ko ʻene hoko ko ha taha talitali kakai leleí, mahalo ʻo ne foaki ha meʻakai mo ha nofoʻanga ki heʻene kau fakaafé, lolotonga ia e nofo hono tokoua ko Melé, ʻi he veʻe vaʻe ʻo Sīsuú ʻo fanongo ki Heʻene folofolá. (Vakai, Luke 10:38–42.) ʻOku akoʻi mai ʻe he founga kehekehe ʻo e tauhi ʻa e ongo tautehiná ki he ʻEikí ke tau fakaʻapaʻapa mo fakalangilangiʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau fakahaaʻi ʻenau tuʻunga fakaākongá ʻi ha ngaahi founga kehekehé. ʻOku ʻomi foki ʻe he ngaahi akonaki ʻa Sīsū ʻi he talanoa ko ení, ʻEne fakakaukau ʻoku tauʻatāina e kakai fefiné ke fili pe ʻe founga fēfē ʻenau tokoní mo fakahaaʻi honau tuʻunga fakaākongá, ʻo hangē pē ko e fili ʻa e kakai tangatá.
Ngāue Tokoni ʻo Fakafou ʻi he Foakí
Kimuʻa siʻi pē pea fakafeʻiloaki ʻe Luke ʻa Māʻata mo Melé, naʻá ne lekooti e talanoa fakatātā ʻo e Samēlia Leleí. Naʻe akoʻi kitautolu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻi he talanoa ko ʻení, ke tau ʻofa ki he niʻihi kehé, hangē ko hono fafanga, foaki ha nofoʻanga, mo tokangaʻi ha taha pē ʻoku faingataʻaʻia (vakai, Luke 10:30–37). Ka ʻoku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he ngaahi feinga ʻa Māʻata ke “tauhi lahí” (Luke 10:40) ʻa ʻene tali e fakaʻuhinga ʻo e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ení ʻaki ʻene ngāueʻi ʻene tuí.
Naʻe fakamoleki ʻe Sīsū ʻEne moʻuí ʻi he ngāue tokoní ʻo fakahaaʻi ko ia ʻoku lahi tahá, ʻokú ne tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé (vakai, Mātiu 20:26–28; Luke 22:26–27). Naʻe tali ia ʻe Māʻata ʻaki ʻene holi ke tokoni kiate Iá. ʻOku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he talanoa ʻo Māʻata mo Melé ha ongo fafine ʻe toko ua ʻokú na fakafōtunga e tui moʻoní mo e tuʻunga fakaākongá ʻo fakafou ʻi he ngāue tokoní mo e akó. Hangē ko hono fakahaaʻi ʻe Māʻata ʻene ʻofa kia Kalaisí ʻi he ngāue tokoní, te tau lava ʻo ngāue tokoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku tau feohí ʻo fakatefito ʻi heʻetau ʻofa ki hotau Fakamoʻuí pea mo ʻetau loto-fiemālie ke ako mo muimui ki Heʻene ongoongoleleí.
ʻI heʻetau tokoní, ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau manatuʻi ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi founga kehe ke tokoni ai pea ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke tau fakamaauʻi kinautolu ʻoku nau kau atu ki aí. ʻI he “femoʻuekina” ʻa Māʻatá (Luke 10:40), naʻe ʻomi ʻe heʻene tōʻongá e fakakikihí pea hangē ka ne toʻo e laumālie lelei ʻo e ʻaʻahi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí.
Neongo naʻá ne talitali kakai lelei mo fua fatongia, ka naʻe lahi e ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne hohaʻa ki aí pea lomekina ʻe heʻene femoʻuekiná. Naʻá ne lāunga kia Sīsū, “ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai te ke tokanga kuo liʻaki au ʻe hoku tokouá ke u ngāue toko taha pē? Ko ia ke ke fekau ia ke tokoni [kiate] au” (Luke 10:40). ʻOku fokotuʻu mai ʻe heʻene lāungá ʻene fakakaukau ko ia toko taha pē naʻá ne ngāue tokoní. Naʻe ʻikai lava ke ne toe vakai atu ki ha ngaahi founga tokoni kehe naʻe fai ʻe ha niʻihi kehe ʻi he taimi tatau pē, ʻo kau ai ʻa Mele mo e Fakamoʻuí Tonu. Naʻe fakafōtunga ʻe Māʻata ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e foaki ʻaki ha ʻulungaanga naʻe ʻikai nofoʻia ʻe he Laumālié. ʻI heʻetau moʻuí he ʻahó ni, te tau lava foki ʻo fakafōtunga ʻetau ʻofa ki he niʻihi kehé ʻaki ʻetau ngāué mo hotau ʻulungāngá.
Ngāue Tokoni ʻo Fakafou ʻi hono Maʻu Maí
Naʻe tali ʻe Sīsū e ngaahi ngāue tokoni ʻa Māʻatá pea mo ʻene iku ai ʻo loto-ʻitá, ʻaki ha leʻo ʻo e fakatokangá: “Māʻata, Māʻata, ʻokú ke femoʻuekina mo fetokangaʻaki ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lahi” (Luke 10:41). Naʻe ʻikai ʻuhinga e ngaahi lea ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke fakasiʻia ʻa e founga ne fili ʻe Māʻata ke fakahaaʻi ʻene talitali kakaí, ka ke fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻa e totonu ʻa Mele ke ngāue tokoni ʻo fakafou ʻi heʻene fakafanongó mo e akó. ʻOku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he tōʻonga ʻa Melé ʻa e meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku holi ke muimui kiate Ia neongo pe ko e hā ʻenau founga ngāue tokoní.
Naʻe fakaʻatā ʻe Mele e Fakamoʻuí ke Ne tokoniʻi ia ʻaki hono maʻu ʻo ʻEne leá. ʻOku fakafōtunga mai ʻe heʻene sīpingá ʻa e founga te tau lava ai ʻo fakahaaʻi e ʻofa ki he Fakamoʻuí ʻaki e tangutu ʻi Hono toʻukupu kelekelé ke ako mo tupulaki ʻi he Laumālié.
Ko e Meʻa Pē Taha ʻOku ʻAongá
Ko e tali ki he palopalema ʻa Māʻatá ko hono ʻiloʻi ko e “meʻa pē taha ʻoku ʻaongá” (Luke 10:42). ʻOku fokotuʻu mai heni e mālohi fakaofo ʻo e fakafaingofuá, ka ʻe lava ke ʻuhinga kehekehe ʻa e faingofuá kiate kitautolu takitaha. Ko e tuʻunga “ʻaongá” ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ia ʻi he meʻa ʻoku hā ki tuʻá ka ko ʻetau taumuʻá. Neongo pe ko e hā e founga ʻoku tau fili ke ngāue tokoni aí, ko e meʻa ʻoku mahuʻingá ko hono tali mo muimui kia Kalaisi ʻaki e kotoa hotau lotó mo e ʻatamaí.
Mahalo na ko e lelei tahá ko ha “ʻulungaanga faka-Māʻata” ʻi ha taimi ʻe niʻihi, pea taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku fokotuʻu mai ha “ʻulungaanga faka-Mele”—pe naʻa ʻikai feʻunga ha taha ia ʻo e ongo meʻá ni. Te tau lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi e sīpinga ʻa Māʻata mo Melé ʻi heʻetau moʻuí pea kolea e fakahinohino ʻa e Laumālié ke tau tokoni ʻi he founga lelei tahá.
Tau vakavakaiʻi muʻa hotau ʻulungāngá lolotonga ʻetau tokoni ʻi he founga ʻoku tau filí, pea manatuʻi ko ʻetau tukupā ke miumui kiate Iá ʻa e meʻa mahuʻinga tahá. ʻOfa ke maʻu maʻu pē kitautolu ʻi he veʻe toʻukupu kelekele ʻo e Fakamoʻuí.
