ʻAlamā 39:1–8

ʻOku fakamatala ʻe ʻAlamā ki hono foha ko Kolianitoní ʻa e mamafa ʻo e angahala fakasekisualé

Hiki ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻení he palakipoé: Ko e hā ʻoku mamafa ange ai ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻe niʻihi ʻi ha niʻihi?

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau fakakaukau fakalongolongo ki ha ngaahi tali ki he fehuʻi ko ʻení. Fokotuʻu ange ʻoku lava ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he faleʻi ʻa ʻAlamā ʻoku hiki ʻi he ʻAlamā 39 ke mahino ʻa e natula mamafa ʻo ha ngaahi angahala pau.

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau sio ki he fakamatala ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻuluʻi fakamatala ʻo e vahe 39. Kole ki he kau akó ke ʻai ke nau ʻilo pe ko hai ʻoku lea ʻi he vahe ko ʻení pea ko hai ʻoku lea ki aí (ʻOku lea ʻa ʻAlamā ki hono foha ko Kolianitoní). Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe ʻalu fakataha ʻa Kolianitoni mo hono tokoua ko Sipiloní mo ʻAlamā ke malangaʻi e ongoongoleleí ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Sōlamí, ka naʻá ne tō ki he faiangahalá.

Ko e hā e meʻa hala ne fai ʻe Kolianitoní? Ko e fē ʻi heʻene ngaahi angahalá naʻe mamafa tahá? (anga taʻe haohaoa fakasekisualé.)
Naʻe pōlepole ʻa Kolianitoni ʻi hono iví mo hono potó ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Sōlamí (vakai, ʻAlamā 39:2). Ko e hā ha ngaahi founga ʻoku lava ke fakaiku ai e ʻulungaanga hīkisiá ki he ngaahi angahala mamafa hangē ko e taʻe haohaoa fakasekisualé? Ko e hā ha ngaahi sīpinga fakaeonopooni ʻe niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻulungaanga hīkisiá ʻoku nau fakatupu e angahala fakasekisualé? (ʻI hono aleaʻi ʻe he kau akó ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení, fakamahinoʻi ange ko e taimi ʻoku hīkisia ai e kakaí, ʻoku fuʻu tōtuʻa ʻenau falala ki honau mālohí, kau ai e malava ke taʻofi e ʻahiʻahí. Ko e niʻihi ʻeni ʻo e ngaahi sīpinga fakaeonopooní, ko e teiti kei siʻí mo e teiti mo e foʻi toko taha peé.)

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻoku fika ua hake ai ʻa e mamafa ʻo e feʻauakí mo e tono malí ki he fakapoó?

Ke tokoniʻi e kau akó ke mahino kiate kinautolu ʻa e tuʻunga moʻui mo e ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ʻoku ō fakataha mo e haohaoa fakasekisualé, fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau lau fakalongolongo ʻa e palakalafi ʻe ua ʻuluaki ʻo e vahe ko e “Ko e Haohaoa Fakasekisualé” ʻi he Ki Hono Fakamālohia ʻo e Toʻu Tupú.

Mahalo te ke fie fokotuʻu ange foki ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻe he kau akó ʻa e ngaahi tali ʻoku nau maʻu ʻi he kiʻi tohí.)

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau fakalaulauloto pe ko e hā e pōpoaki ʻoku nau ongoʻi ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ke nau ako mei he meʻa kuo nau toki laú. Fai ha fakamoʻoni ki he mamafa ʻo e angahala fakasekisualé pea mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku haʻu mei he haohaoa fakasekisualé.

Fakamahinoʻi ange naʻe fakahoko ʻe ʻAlamā hono fatongia ko ha mātuʻá ʻaki ʻene faleʻi hono fohá kau ki ha kaveinga pelepelengesi.

ʻAlamā 39:9

ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e “liʻaki hoʻo ngaahi angahalá”? (Ke tuku hono fakahoko kinautolú.)
Ko e hā e fekauʻaki e ngaahi kupuʻi lea ko ʻení “pea ʻikai toe muimui ʻi he ngaahi holi ʻa ho matá” kae “fakafisi koe mei he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa pē” mo hono liʻaki e angahalá? (Mahalo ʻe tokoni ke fakamatalaʻi ange, ʻi hotau kuongá ko e kupuʻi lea ko e “ngaahi holi ʻa ho matá” ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he ngaahi ʻīmisi mo e fakafiefia ʻoku fakaponokalafi ʻi ha faʻahinga founga pē. Ke fakamamafaʻi ʻa e fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e ponokalafí, fakakaukau ke kole ki he kau akó ke nau lau ʻa e faleʻi ʻi he kaveinga ko ʻení ʻi he peesi 11-12 ʻo e Ki Hono Fakamālohia ʻo e Toʻu Tupú. Te ke lava foki ʻo fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e kupuʻi lea “kae fakafisi koe” ki hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e mapuleʻi kitá pe puleʻi kitá; vakai, futinouti 9b.)
Ko e hā ha ngaahi founga ʻe niʻihi ʻoku lava ke ngāue ʻaki ai ʻe he Kāingalotu kei talavou ʻo e Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ʻa e mapuleʻi kitá ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fekauʻaki mo e maʻa fakasekisualé pea ʻikai toe muimui ʻi he ngaahi holi ʻa honau matá? (Ke tokoniʻi e kau akó ke nau aleaʻi fakaikiiki ange ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻení, mahalo te ke fie fakamatalaʻi ange ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻe niʻihi ʻoku mahuʻinga ki he ngaahi tūkunga mo e ngaahi talatukufakaholo hoʻo kau akó. Hangē ko ʻení, te ke lava ke lea ʻaki ha meʻa hangē ko ʻení: Kuo fili ha finemui Siasi ke “fakafisi [ʻe ia] mei he ngaahi meʻa ko iá,” ka ʻoku fakaafeʻi ia ʻe ha talavou ʻokú ne saiʻia ai ki ha paati ʻoku taʻe feʻunga. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke ne faí?)

Fakamahinoʻi ange ko e ʻAlamā 39:9 ko ha veesi fakataukei folofola ia. Mahalo te ke fie maʻu ke fokotuʻu ange ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻe he kau akó ʻa e veesi ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau folofolá koeʻuhí ke nau ʻiloʻi ngofua ia.

ʻAlamā 39:11

ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e “ʻoua naʻá ke tuku ke fakaheeʻi koe”? (Mahalo te ke fie fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e foʻi lea tuku ke fakangofua.)
Ko e hā ha ngaahi meʻa “vaʻinga pe laulaunoa” ʻe niʻihi ʻokú ke sio ʻoku nau fakaheeʻi e kakaí he ʻahó ni?

ʻAlamā 39:12

ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e tuku e ngaahi faihiá? (Ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he faiangahalá.)

ʻAlamā 39:13

Fakamatalaʻi ange, ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e fakatomalá ke “fakatafoki hono lotó ki he ʻOtuá” (vakai, Ko e Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “Fakatomalá”). ʻI he folofolá, ʻoku angamaheni ʻaki ʻa hono fakafofongaʻi ʻe he kupuʻi lea “tafoki ki he ʻEikí” ʻa e fakatomalá.

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻo e “tafoki ki he ʻEikí ʻaki ho ʻatamaí, iví, mo e mālohí kotoa”?

Fakamanatu ki he kau akó ko e lolotonga e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Kolianitoni ki he kau Sōlamí, naʻe hanga ʻe hono ʻulungāngá ʻo tohoakiʻi e kakai ʻe niʻihi ke ʻoua te nau tui ki he ngaahi lea ʻa ʻAlamaá (vakai, ʻAlamā 39:11).

ʻI he taimi ʻoku uesia ai ʻe heʻetau faiangahalá ʻa e niʻihi kehé, ko e hā e meʻa kuo pau ke tau fai ko ha konga ia ʻo ʻetau fakatomalá? (Fakahā pe vete ʻetau ngaahi koví kiate kinautolu kuo tau fakamamahiʻí pea fekumi ke fakaleleiʻi ʻa e mamahí.)

Hiki ʻa e moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé: ʻOku kau ʻi he fakatomalá ʻa hono fakahā mo hono liʻaki ʻo ʻetau ngaahi angahalá pea tafoki ki he ʻEikí ʻaki hotau ʻatamaí, iví mo e mālohí kotoa. Mahalo te ke fie fokotuʻu ange ke hiki ʻe he kau akó ʻa e sētesi ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau folofolá ofi ki he ʻAlamā 39:13. Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau hiki ʻi heʻenau pepa akó pe tohinoa ako folofolá kau ki he meʻa ʻoku nau ongoʻi ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ke nau fai ke tafoki kakato ange ai honau lotó mo ʻenau fakakaukaú kiate Ia.

Ke fakamamafaʻi ʻa e fatongia ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻi he founga ʻo e fakatomalá, kole ki ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e ʻAlamā 39:15–16, 19. Kole ki he kalasí ke nau kumi ha kupuʻi lea ʻoku ʻasi tuʻo tolu ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení. (Ko e kupuʻi leá ko e “ongoongo fakafiefia,” mahalo te ke fie maʻu ke fakamatalaʻi ange hono ʻuhingá ko e “ongoongo lelei.”)

Ko e hā e “ongoongo fakafiefia” naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻAlamā ki hono fohá? (ʻOku totonu ke ʻi he ngaahi tali ʻa e kau akó ʻa e foʻi moʻoni ko ia naʻe hāʻele mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ke ʻave ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa e māmaní. Mahalo te ke fie hiki ʻeni ʻi he palakipoé.)

Vahevahe ʻa e kalasí ki ha kulupu ʻe fā pe nima. ʻOange ki he kulupu takitaha ha foʻi meʻa lulu (dice) tapa ono mo ha penivahevahe.

ʻAlamā 39:6. Ko e hā ʻa e angahala ʻoku ʻikai toe fakamolemoleʻí?

Naʻe ʻomi ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ha ʻilo lahi ange kau ki he angahala ʻoku ʻikai toe fakamolemoleʻí:

“ʻE fakamolemoleʻi e ngaahi angahala kotoa pē, tukukehe ʻa e angahala ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní; he ʻe fakahaofi kotoa ʻe Sīsū tukukehe ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo e malaʻiá.

Kuo pau ke ne maʻu ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, fakaava ʻa e ngaahi langí kiate ia, peá ne ʻilo ʻa e ʻOtuá, peá ne toe faiangahala kiate ia. Hili e faiangahala ʻa ha tangata ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakatomala maʻana. ʻOkú ne pehē ʻoku ʻikai ke ulo ʻa e laʻaá lolotonga iá ʻokú ne mamata ki ai; kuó ne fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he taimi kuo fakaava ai ʻa e ngaahi langí kiate iá, pea fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa e palani ʻo e fakamoʻuí ʻi he fakaʻā hono matá ki hono moʻoní; pea mei he taimi ko iá kuó ne hoko ko ha fili.

“ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e fakatomalá ke fili mei ai koeʻuhí pē ko e Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. Ko ʻEne feilaulau taʻe fakangatangatá ʻokú ne “ʻomi ai ha ngaahi founga ki he tangatá ke nau maʻu ai ha tui ke fakatomala.’ ( ʻAlamā 34:15).
