“Vakai Ko Au ʻa e Maama Ke Mou Hiki Haké”
ʻOku tau hiki hake ʻa e maama ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau pīkitai ai ki heʻetau ngaahi fuakavá mo e taimi ʻoku tau poupouʻi ai ʻa hotau palōfita moʻuí.
ʻOku tānaki atu ʻeku fakamoʻoni fakaeʻaposetoló ki he ngaahi fakamoʻoni lahi ʻi he konifelenisí ni, ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, ko hotau ʻEikí mo e Fakamoʻuí, ko e Huhuʻi ʻo e fānau kotoa ʻa ʻetau Tamaí. ʻI he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, naʻá Ne ʻai ke tau lava kotoa, ʻo kapau ʻoku tau taau, ke foki ki he ʻao ʻo ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní pea fakataha mo hotau fāmilí ʻo taʻengata.
ʻOku ʻikai mavahe ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mei heʻetau fononga fakamatelié. Kuo tau fanongo ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ua kuohilí ki Heʻene folofola ʻo fakafou mai ʻi Heʻene kau taki kuo filí koeʻuhí ke tau lava ʻo ʻunu ke ofi ange kiate Ia. Kuo tā tuʻo lahi ʻEne faitokonia kitautolu ʻi Heʻene ʻofa mo e ʻaloʻofa haohaoá, ʻi heʻetau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e moʻuí. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe Nīfai, “Kuo hoko ʻa hoku ʻOtuá ko hoku poupou; kuó ne tataki au ʻi heʻeku ngaahi mamahí. … Kuó ne fakafonu au ʻaki ʻa ʻene ʻofá.”
ʻOku hāsino ʻa e ʻofa ko iá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fepoupouaki ai ʻi Heʻene ngāué.
ʻOku tau hikinimaʻi hotau palōfita moʻuí ʻi he konifelenisi lahí, fakataha mo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, Kau Taki mo e Kau ʻŌfisa Māʻolunga ʻo e Siasí. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e hikinimaʻí ke hiki hake ha taha, ke foaki ki ai ʻetau tokangá, ke faipau ki heʻenau falalá, ke fakahoko ʻenau leá. ʻOku nau lea ʻi he ueʻi ʻe he ʻEikí; ʻoku mahino kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi palopalema lolotongá, ʻa e hōloa fakaʻulungaanga ʻa e sōsaietí, mo e feinga lahi ʻa e filí ke taʻofi e palani ʻa e Tamaí. ʻI hono hiki hake ko ia hotau nimá, ʻoku tau tukupā ai ʻetau poupoú, ʻo ʻikai ki he momeniti pē ko iá, ka ʻi heʻetau moʻui fakaʻahó.
ʻOku kau ʻi he hikinimaʻí ʻa hono hiki hake hotau kau palesiteni fakasiteikí mo e kau pīsopé, kau taki fakakōlomú mo e houalotú, kau faiakó, pea naʻa mo e kau talēkita ʻo e kemí ʻi hotau ngaahi uōtí mo e siteikí. Ko e ofi ange ki ʻapí, ʻoku tau hiki hake hotau uaifí mo hotau husepānití, fānaú, mātuʻá, kāingá, mo e kaungāʻapí. Ko e taimi ʻoku tau hiki hake aí ʻoku tau pehē ai, “ʻOku ou ʻi heni maʻau, ʻo ʻikai ke hiki hake pē ho nimá ʻi he taimi ʻoku ʻtāupe ai ki laló’ ka ke hoko ko ha fakafiemālie mo ha mālohi ʻi ho tafaʻakí.”
Ko e fakakaukau ʻo e hiki haké ʻoku fakatefito ia ʻi he folofolá. ʻI he Ngaahi Vai ʻo Molomoná, naʻe tukupā ai ʻa e kau mēmipa foʻou ʻo e Siasí naʻe toki papitaisó “ke fefuaʻaki ʻa [ʻenau] ngaahi kavengá, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻamaʻa; … [ke] fakafiemālieʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku ʻaonga ki ai ʻa e fakafiemālié, pea tuʻu ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi kotoa pē pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē.”
Naʻe folofola ʻa Sīsū ki he kakai Nīfaí: “Hiki hake hoʻomou māmá ke ulo atu ki he māmaní. Vakai ko au ʻa e maama ke mou hiki haké.” ʻOku tau hiki hake ʻa e maama ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau pīkitai ai ki heʻetau ngaahi fuakavá mo e taimi ʻoku tau poupouʻi ai ʻa hotau palōfita moʻuí ʻi he taimi ʻokú ne lea ʻaki e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá.
Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni, ʻi he taimi naʻá ne ʻi he Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu mā Uá, “Ko ʻetau hikinimaʻi e kau palōfitá, ko ha tukupā fakataautaha ia te tau fai hotau tūkuingatá ke poupouʻi ʻenau ngaahi taumuʻa fakaepalōfitá.”
Ko ha ngāue toputapu ke hiki hake ʻa e palōfitá. ʻOku ʻikai ke tau tangutu fakalongo pē ka ke tau maluʻi moʻoni ia, muimui ki heʻene naʻinaʻí, akoʻi ʻene ngaahi leá, mo lotua ia.
Naʻe folofola ʻa e Tuʻi ko Penisimaní ki he kakai ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, “ʻOku ou hangē pē ko kimoutolú ʻo moʻua ki he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo e ngaahi vaivai ʻi he sino mo e ʻatamai; ka kuo fili au … pea kuo tuku ʻe he toʻukupu ʻo e ʻEikí … pea kuo tauhi mo maluʻi au ʻi hono māfimafi taʻe-hano-tataú, ke u tauhi ʻa kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e mālohi, ʻatamai mo e ivi kotoa pē ʻa ia kuo tuku kiate au ʻe he ʻEikí.”
Ko e meʻa tatau pē, ʻi he taʻu 100 ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoní, kuo tauhi mo maluʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Hāloti B. Lī, ʻi heʻene hoko ko e mēmipa ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, ʻa e sīpinga ʻo e tuʻu ʻa Mōsese ʻi he funga moʻunga Lefitimí. Naʻá ne pehē, “Ko e ongo nima ʻo e [Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí] ʻe lava ke fakaʻau ʻo ongosia. Te na ala tāupe ʻi ha taimi koeʻuhí ko hono ngaahi fatongia mamafá; ka ʻi heʻetau hiki hake hono nimá, mo taki fakatatau mo ʻene fakahinohinó, mo ʻi hono tafaʻakí, he ʻikai mālohi ʻa e ngaahi matapā ʻo helí ʻiate koe mo ʻIsileli. Ko ʻetau malú ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi heʻetau muimui pe ʻikai muimui ʻiate kinautolu kuo tuku ʻe he ʻEikí ke tokangaʻi hono siasí. ʻOkú Ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e taha ʻokú Ne finangalo ke tokangaʻi ʻa e siasi ko ʻení, pea he ʻikai ke Ne fai ha fehalaaki.”
ʻOku maʻu ivi ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoni mei he ngaahi taʻu ʻo ʻene tauhi ki he ʻEikí. Ko ʻene fakapotopotó, ngaahi taukei kehekehé, potó, mo e maʻu maʻu pē ʻo e fakahaá, ʻoku taau moʻoni ia mo hotau kuongá. Naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku teuteuʻi ʻe he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ʻa e māmaní ki he ʻaho ʻe ‘fonu [ai] ʻa māmani ʻi he ʻiloʻi ʻo [e ʻEikí]’ (ʻĪsaia 11:9). … ʻOku fakaivia ʻa e ngāue ko ʻení ʻe ha fakahā fakalangi naʻe fai ʻi he taʻu e 200 kuohilí. ʻOku foʻi lea pē ʻe valu: ‘Ko Hoku ʻAlo ʻOfaʻangá ʻeni. Fanongo Kiate Ia!’ (vakai, Siosefa Sāmita—Hisitōlia 1:17).”
Naʻe pehē foki ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni: “Kuo teʻeki ai ha taimi ʻi he hisitōlia ʻo e māmaní ʻe mātuʻaki mahuʻinga fakataautaha lahi ange ai mo kaunga ʻa e ʻilo hotau Fakamoʻuí ki he laumālie ʻo e taha kotoa. Fakakaukau ki he vave hano fakaleleiʻi ʻo e ngaahi fepaki fakalilifu he funga ʻo e māmaní—mo ia ʻi heʻetau moʻui fakafoʻituituí—ʻe lava ke fakaleleiʻi kapau naʻa tau fili kotoa ke muimui kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo tokanga ki Heʻene ngaahi akonakí.”
Kāinga, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau hiki ke lahi ange kae fakasiʻisiʻi ʻa e lāungá, poupouʻi lahi ange ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, ko ʻEne ngaahi foungá, mo ʻEne palōfitá, ʻa ia kuó ne pehē: “Ko e taha ʻo ʻetau ngaahi pole lahi taha ʻi he ʻaho ní ko hono fakafaikehekeheʻi ko ia ʻo e ngaahi moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá mei he ngaahi founga kākā ʻa Sētané. Ko hono ʻuhinga ia naʻe fakatokanga mai ai ʻa e ʻEikí kiate kitautolu ke ‘lotu maʻu ai pē, … ke [tau] lava ʻo ikunaʻi ʻa Sētane, pea … hao mei he nima ʻo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sētané ʻa ia ʻoku nau poupouʻi hake ʻa [e ngāue ʻa e filí]’ [Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 10:5; tānaki atu hono fakamamafaʻí].”
ʻI ʻEpelelí, naʻá ku maʻu ai mo Sisitā Lasipeni ʻa e lāngilangi ke kau fakataha mo hotau palōfita ʻofeiná mo Sisitā Nalesoni ke toe fakatapui ʻa e Temipale Manatai ʻIutaá.
Naʻe fakaʻohovaleʻi ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻa e taha kotoa ʻi he taimi naʻá ne hū mai ai ki he lokí. Ko ha tokosiʻi pē ʻo kimautolu naʻa mau ʻilo ʻe haʻú. Naʻá ku ongoʻi ʻi he taimi pē ko ia ʻo ʻene ʻi aí, ʻa e maama mo e mafai fakaepalōfita ʻokú ne maʻú. He ʻikai toe ngalo ʻiate au ʻa e fofonga fiefia ʻo e kakaí ʻi heʻenau mātātonu ʻa e palōfitá.
ʻI he lotu toe fakatapuí, naʻe tautapa ai ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoni ki he ʻEikí ke hiki hake ʻe Hono fale māʻoniʻoní ʻa kinautolu kotoa ʻe hū ʻi he temipalé “ke nau lava ʻo maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki toputapú mo kei taau mo tauhi faivelenga ki heʻenau ngaahi fuakavá … ke ala hoko ʻeni ko ha fale ʻo e melino, ko ha fale ʻo e fakafiemālie, mo ha fale ʻo e fakahā fakafoʻituitui kiate kinautolu kotoa ʻoku hū moʻui taau mai ʻi hono ngaahi matapaá.”
ʻOku tau fiemaʻu kotoa ke hiki hake kitautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi he melino, mo e fakafiemālie, pea ko e mahuʻinga tahá ʻi he fakahā fakafoʻituitui ke tau fakafepakiʻi ʻa e ilifiá, fakapoʻulí, mo e fekeʻikeʻi ʻokú ne kāpui ʻa māmaní.
Kimuʻa ʻi he ouaú, naʻa mau tuʻu ʻi tuʻa mo Palesiteni mo Sisitā Nalesoni ke vakai ki he feituʻu fakaʻofoʻofá ni. ʻOku lahi e fekauʻaki ʻa e ngaahi kui ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoní mo e feituʻú. Naʻe nofo ʻene ongo kui hono valú ʻi he teleʻa takai ʻi he temipalé, kae pehē foki ki ha niʻihi ʻo ʻeku ngaahi kuí. Naʻe kau ʻeku kui ua ko ʻAnitelū ʻEnitasoní ʻi he kau fuofua paionia langá pea naʻá ne ngāue ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 11 ke fakaʻosi ʻa e Temipale Manataí, ko e fika tolu ia ʻi he ʻOtu Moʻunga Maká.
ʻI heʻemau tuʻu mo Palesiteni Nalesoní, naʻa mau maʻu ai ʻa e faingamālie ke hiki hake mo poupouʻi ʻa e palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hono toe fakatapui ʻo e fale māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻEikí. Ko ha ʻaho ia he ʻikai toe ngalo ʻiate au.
Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻi he ʻaho toputapu ko iá, “ʻOku tau langa ʻa e ngaahi temipalé ke fakalāngilangiʻi ʻa e ʻEikí. ʻOku langa kinautolu ki he moihū kae ʻikai ko e fakaʻaliʻali. ʻOku tau fakahoko ha ngaahi fuakava toputapu ʻoku mahuʻinga taʻengata ʻi loto ʻi he ngaahi holisi toputapú ni.” ʻOku tau tānaki ʻa ʻIsileli.
Kuo mātuʻaki tokangaekina ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni mo e kau palōfita ʻi muʻa ʻiate iá ʻa e ngaahi temipalé. ʻI he funga ʻo e māmaní ʻi he ʻahó ni, ʻoku tau maʻu ai ha fale toputapu ʻo e ʻEikí ʻe 350 ʻoku ngāue, pe kuo fanongonongo, pe lolotonga langa. Kuo fanongonongo ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni, talu mei heʻene hoko ko e palōfita ʻi he 2018, ha ngaahi temipale ʻe 168.
Kuó ne talamai, “ʻI hotau kuongá ni, kuo pau ke fehokotaki fakatahaʻi ke kakato mo haohaoa ʻa e ngaahi kuongá, ngaahi kií mo e ngaahi mālohí kotoa (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 128:18). Koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi taumuʻa toputapu ko ʻení, kuo lahi ai ha ngaahi temipale māʻoniʻoni ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní. Te u toe fakamamafaʻi atu mahalo he ʻikai liliu hoʻo moʻuí ʻe he langa ʻo e ngaahi temipale ko ʻení, ka ʻe liliu ia ʻi hoʻo ngāue ʻi he temipalé.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe he Palesitení, “Ko e Fakamoʻuí mo ʻEne tokāteliné ko e ʻelito moʻoni ia ʻo e temipalé. Ko e meʻa kotoa ʻoku akoʻi ʻi he temipalé, ʻi he fakahinohinó pea ʻi he Laumālié, ʻokú ne fakatupulaki ʻetau mahino kia Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOku haʻi kitautolu kiate Ia ʻe Heʻene ngaahi ouau mahuʻingá ʻo fakafou ʻi he ngaahi fuakava toputapu ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. Pea, ʻi heʻetau tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá, ʻokú Ne fakakoloaʻi leva kitautolu ʻaki Hono mālohi fakaivia mo faifakamoʻuí.”
Kuo pehē ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni, “Ko kinautolu kotoa ʻoku moihū ʻi he temipalé, te nau maʻu ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá pea ʻe ʻtokangaʻi ʻa kinautoluʼ ʻe he kau ʻāngeló [Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 109:22]. Ko e hā ʻa e lahi hono fakatupulaki hoʻo loto-falalá ʻi haʻo ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ke ke fehangahangai toko taha pē mo e moʻuí, ʻi hoʻo hoko ko e fefine pe tangata kuo ʻosi maʻu ʻenitaumeni [pe toʻu tupu ʻoku ʻalu ki he temipalé] ʻoku fakateunga ʻaki ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá? ʻOku fakalotolahi fēfē nai kiate koe ʻa e ʻiloʻi ʻe tokoniʻi moʻoni koe ʻe he kau ʻāngeló?”
ʻOku fakamatalaʻi e fetuʻutaki mai ʻa e kau ʻāngeló ke hiki hake kitautolu ʻi he folofolá, ʻi he taimi naʻe tūʻulutui āfeitaulalo ai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he Ngoue ko Ketisemhaní. ʻI Heʻene faingataʻaʻiá, naʻá Ne fakahoko ai ʻa e Fakalelei taʻe-fakangatangatá. ʻOku fakamahino ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni, “Ko e feituʻu ia naʻe hoko ai ʻa e ngāue maʻongoʻonga taha ʻo e ʻofá ʻi he hisitōlia kotoa kuo hikí. … ʻI Ketisemaní, ‘naʻe kātakiʻi ʻe he ʻEikí … ʻa e mamahi ʻa e kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhí ke lava … kotoa pē ʻo fakatomala pea haʻu kiate ia’ [Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 18:11].”
Naʻe tautapa ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, “ʻAve ʻa e ipú ni ʻiate au, kae ʻoua naʻa fai hoku lotó, ka ko e finangalo ʻoʻoú.
“Pea naʻe fakahā mai ʻa e ʻāngelo mei he langí kiate ia, ʻo ne fakamālohi ia.”
ʻOku ʻi ai ha kau ʻāngelo ʻoku nau ʻātakaiʻi kitautolu ʻi he ʻahó ni. Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni, “[ʻI he temipalé,] te ke ʻilo e founga ke fakaava ai e veili ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo langi mo māmaní, founga ʻo e kole ki he kau ʻāngelo ʻa e ʻOtuá ke tauhi koé.”
ʻOku ʻomai ʻe he kau ʻāngeló ʻa e māmá. Maama ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻe folofola ʻa Sīsū ki Heʻene Kau ʻAposetolo Nīfaí, “Vakai ko au ʻa e maama ke mou hiki haké.” ʻI heʻetau poupouʻi hotau palōfitá, ʻoku tau fakamoʻoniʻi ai naʻe ui ia ʻe hotau Fakamoʻuí, ʻa ia “ko e maama … [ʻo] e māmaní.”

ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni fakaeʻaposetolo atu ko Sīsū Kalaisí ko e “maama … [ʻo] e māmaní.” Fakatauange te tau kau kotoa ʻi hono “hiki hake” ʻEne māmá ʻi heʻetau hoko ko ʻEne kau ākongá. ʻI he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻēmeni.
