Maʻu E Ngaahi Tāpuaki Taʻengatá ʻI Heʻetau Ngaahi Fuakava mo e ʻEikí
“He naʻe ʻofa pehēʻa eʻOtuáki māmani, naʻá ne foaki hono ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupú, koeʻuhí ko ia kotoa pē ʻe tui kiate iá ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha, kae maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá” (Sione 3:16).
ʻOku ou houngaʻia ʻi he ʻofa haohaoa ʻoku maʻu ʻe heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ki Heʻene fānaú kotoa.
ʻOku ʻi ai hotau tokolahi ʻoku fekuki mo ha ngaahi faingataʻa mafatukituki ʻi he moʻuí ni. Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi faingataʻa lahi taha ʻo kinautolú ko e taimi ʻoku mole ai hotau ngaahi ʻofaʻangá hili ha ngaahi taʻu lahi ʻo e feluteni ʻa e feohí. ʻE lava ke ongoʻi ʻo hangē ko ha fakamaau taʻetotonu ʻeni meí he ʻOtuá, ka ko hono moʻoní, ko ha sivi toputapu ia ʻo e moʻuí meí ha Tamai Hēvani ʻofa ʻokú Ne fie maʻu ke tau tupulaki ʻi he tuí koeʻuhí ke tau hoko ʻo hangē ko Iá.
Lolotonga ʻa e ongoʻi ʻe he palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá kuo siva e ʻamanakí ʻi he mafatukituki ʻa ʻene ngaahi palopalemá ʻi hono tuku pōpula ia ʻi he Fale Fakapōpula Lipetií, ne fakahā ʻe hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí ʻa Hono finangaló kiate ia:
“Pea kapau ʻe lī koe ki he luó, pe ki he nima ʻo e kau fakapō, pea fakamaaumatea koe; kapau ʻe lī koe ki he loto moaná; kapau ʻe feinga ʻa e hou ʻo e peaú ke fakaʻauha koe; kapau ʻe hoko ʻa e ngaahi matangi fakailifiá ko ho fili; kapau ʻe fakatahataha ʻe he langí ʻa e ngaahi ʻao ʻuliʻulí, pea fakatahataha ʻa e ngaahi ʻelemēniti kotoa pē ke fakaʻefiʻefi ʻa e halá; pea ko e meʻa tēpuú, kapau ʻe fakamanga mai ʻa e ngutu ʻo helí kiate koe, ke ke ʻiloʻi, ʻe hoku foha, ʻe foaki ʻe he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa pē ʻa e poto kiate koe, pea ʻe hoko ia ʻo ʻaonga kiate koe.
“Naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa e Foha ʻo e Tangatá ʻo māʻulalo ange ʻiate kinautolu kotoa pē. ʻOkú ke lahi ange koe ʻiate ia?
“Ko ia, nofo maʻu ʻi ho halá, pea ʻe nofo ʻiate koe ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí; . . . ʻoua te ke manavahē ki he meʻa ʻe lava ʻe he tangatá ʻo faí, koeʻuhí he ʻe ʻiate koe ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 122:7–9).
ʻI ha ʻaʻahi fakaetauhi ne toki fai, ne mau ʻaʻahi ki ha ʻapi ne ʻosi mālōlō e husepānití; naʻá ne ngāue faivelenga ko ha taki ʻo e Siasí. Naʻe siviʻi fakaeloto ʻa hono uaifi ʻofaʻangá ki ha tuʻunga naʻe fakaʻau ke mole ai ʻene tuí mo e holi ke maʻulotu ʻi he Siasí: ne muimui ai pē mo e fānaú ʻi heʻenau faʻeé ʻo māmālohi. ʻI heʻemau fakataha atu mo e fāmilí ni ʻi he pongipongi ne mau ʻaʻahi atu aí, kau mai ki ai mo e ngaahi tama fefiné mo e makapuná, ne mau fakahaaʻi e ʻofa ʻoku maʻu ʻe heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi kiate kinautolu takitaha.
Ne mau fakamanatu ki fefine ʻofeiná ni ʻa e ngaahi fuakava toputapu naʻá ne fakahoko mo hono husepānití ʻi he ngaahi taʻu kimuʻá ʻi he temipale māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻEikí. Ne hoko ʻemau ngaahi lea fakafiemālié, fakataha mo e nōfoʻia ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní mo ʻemau ʻofa moʻoni kiate ia ko hono ngaahi tuongaʻane ʻi he ongoongoleleí, ke ne fakamolū hono lotó peá ne fiefia ʻi he fakafonu ʻe he ngaahi manatu melie ʻo ʻene sila ʻi he temipalé ʻa hono ʻatamaí mo e lotó.
ʻOku mātuʻaki toputapu ʻa ʻetau ngaahi ouau mo e ngaahi fuakava fakatemipalé pea ko hono fakahaaʻi totonu ia ʻa e ʻofa ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní kiate kitautolú. ʻE toki hoko mai ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki nāunauʻia kuo palōmesi mai maʻatautolu ʻi he ngaahi fuakava toputapú ni, ʻi heʻetau faivelenga ki he ngataʻangá.
Naʻá ku vahevahe mo e fāmilí naʻe toki mole atu ʻa hoku hoa ʻofaʻangá, pea ʻoku ou ʻofa lahi ʻaupito kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. Ko e molé ni ko ha kolosi ia kuopau ke u fua kae ʻoua leva ke u aʻusia ʻa e moʻui hokó, ka naʻá ku vahevahe kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻeku fakapapau ke hokohoko atu ʻa e ngāue maʻa hoku Fakamoʻuí ʻaki hoku lotó kotoa ki he ngataʻangá, ʻi he ʻilo ʻe ʻi ai e ʻaho te u toe feʻiloaki ai mo hoku uaifi ʻofaʻangá pea te ma nofo fakataha ʻi he nēkeneka mo e fiefia taʻengatá.
Ne mau fakamoʻoniʻi e toʻukupu ʻaloʻofa ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻi he hokohoko atu ʻemau ngāue fakaetauhi mo e fāmili leleí ni, pea mo ʻEne fakaafe mai ʻi he ʻaloʻofa kiate kinautolu ke foki mai ki he siasí pea fiefia ʻi he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Naʻá ku fehuʻia ki he mēmipa takitaha ʻo e fāmilí, ʻo kamata meí he faʻeé:
“ʻOkú ke tali ʻa e fakaafe ko ʻeni mei hotau Fakamoʻuí? Te ke maʻu e houalotu sākalamēniti ʻi he Sāpaté?”
Naʻe tali ʻe he tokotaha kotoa ʻa e fakaafé. ʻI heʻemau hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki loto fakatōkilalo ʻa e ʻEikí, ne fonu homau lotó ʻi he fiefia ʻi heʻemau fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa e feinga ʻa e ngaahi laumālie fakatomalá ni ke haʻu ki honau Fakamoʻuí! Naʻá ku ongoʻi e fiefia ʻa e Ngaahi Langí fakataha mo kimautolu ʻi heʻemau feohí, ʻo tatau pē ʻi he ʻahiʻahí mo e tuí.
ʻOku ʻikai ko e fakahoko pē ʻo e ngaahi fuakava toputapú ʻokú ne fakamaʻu kitautolu ki hotau ngaahi ʻofaʻangá ka ko e hokohoko atu e talangofua kiate kinautolú. ʻE ʻomi kiate kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi mālohi lahi ʻo e Fakalelei ʻa hotau Fakamoʻuí pea tanumaki maʻu pē ʻetau tuí ʻi he lotu, ako ʻo e folofolá mo e ngāue tokoní ʻa e ivi ʻoku tau fie maʻu ke fehangahangai mo e ngaahi faingataʻa kotoa ʻo e moʻuí.
ʻOku ʻafioʻi ʻe hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí ʻa kinautolu kotoa ʻoku faingataʻaʻiá. ʻOku toutou mafao mai Hono toʻukupu ʻaloʻofa mo ʻofá. ʻOku ou fakaafeʻi ʻa kinautolu kotoa ʻoku fepaki mo ha ngaahi faingataʻa ʻi heʻenau moʻuí, tatau ai pē pe koe hā, ke haʻu ki he Fakamoʻuí pea keinanga fiefia ʻi Heʻene tēpilé, ʻi hoʻo maʻu ʻa e sākalamēnití ʻi he Sāpate kotoa pē, pea fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi fuakava toputapu ʻi Hono fale māʻoniʻoní. ʻI hoʻo fai ení, te ke maʻu e ngaahi talaʻofá ni:
“Ko ia, ʻoua naʻá mo fiu ʻi he faileleí, he ʻokú mo ʻai ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo ha ngāue lahi. Pea ʻoku tupu mei he ngaahi meʻa īkí ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu meʻa lalahí.

ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni ʻoku fekauʻaki e ngaahi fuakava ne tau fakahoko ʻi he papitaisó, taimi ne tau maʻu ai ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki māʻoniʻoní, pea mo e ngaahi ouau ko ia ne tau fakahoko ʻi he temipalé, ki he ngaahi tāpuaki maʻongoʻonga ʻa e ʻEikí kuó ne teuteuʻi maʻatautolú.
