4–10 Māʻasi: “ʻOku Mau Fiefia ʻia Kalaisi”
2 Nīfai 20–25
ʻOku kau he ngaahi tohi ʻa ʻĪsaiá ha ngaahi fakatokanga mālohi, ka ʻoku nau toe ʻomi foki ha ʻamanaki lelei mo e fiefia. Ko e ʻuhinga ʻeni ʻe taha naʻe fakakau ai kinautolu ʻe Nīfai ʻi heʻene lekōtí, naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku ou tohi ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻĪsaiá, koeʻuhí ka ʻi ai ha niʻihi … ʻe mamata ki he ngaahi leá ni, te nau hiki hake honau lotó pea fiefia” (2 Nīfai 11:8). Ko hono moʻoní, ko e fakaafe ko ia ke lau e ngaahi tohi ʻa ʻĪsaiá ko ha fakaafe ia ke fiefia. Te ke lava ʻo fiefia, hangē ko Nīfaí, ʻi he ngaahi kikite ʻa ʻĪsaia fekauʻaki mo hono tānaki fakataha ʻo ʻIsilelí, hāʻele mai ʻa e Mīsaiá, pea mo e nonga naʻe talaʻofa ki he kakai angatonú. Te ke lava ʻo fiefia ke moʻui ʻi he kuonga naʻe kikiteʻí ʻe “fokotuʻu” ai ʻe he he ʻEikí “ha fuka maʻá e ngaahi puleʻangá, pea fakatahaʻi mai ʻa e kau liʻekina ʻo ʻIsilelí” (2 Nīfai 21:12). ʻI he taimi te ke fieinua ai ki he māʻoniʻoní, te ke lava ʻo “ʻutu fiefia ʻa e vai mei he ngaahi vai ʻo e fakamoʻuí” (2 Nīfai 22:3). Ko hono fakalea ʻe tahá, te ke lava ʻo “fiefia ʻia Kalaisi” (2 Nīfai 25:26).
Ngaahi Fakakaukau ki he Ako ʻi ʻApí mo e Lotú
Te u lava ʻo maʻu ha [nonga] ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi.
Naʻe ʻi ai e palopalema ʻa e fānau ʻa Līhaí ʻi he fekainakí. Naʻe fakaʻau ʻo kovi ange ʻa e palopalemá ʻi he ngaahi toʻu tangata ʻo e kahaʻú, ʻo iku ai ki he mavahevahé, nofo pōpulá, mamahí, mo e fakaʻauhá. Pea ʻoku kei hoko pē ʻa e fekainakí ko ha palopalema he ʻahó ni.
ʻI heʻetau manatuʻi kotoa iá, fakakaukau ki he ngaahi kikite ʻi he 2 Nīfai 21–22. Fakakaukau ki he founga ʻoku fakahoko ai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻa e ngaahi kikite ko ʻení. Ko e hā ʻene ʻuhinga kiate koe ʻa e kikite ko e ulofí ʻe “nofo fakataha … mo e lamí”? (2 Nīfai 21:6). Fakalaulauloto pe ko e hā e meʻa te ke lava ʻo fai ke ke hoko ai ko ha taha fakamelino.

ʻOku tānaki ʻe he ʻEikí Hono kakaí.
Naʻe hoko ʻa Nīfai mo hono fāmilí ko ha kau fakamoʻoni ki hono fakamoveteveteʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí (vakai, 2 Nīfai 25:10). Te ke lava he taimí ni ʻo kau ki hono tānaki ʻo ʻIsilelí (vakai, 2 Nīfai 21:12). ʻI hoʻo lau ʻa e 2 Nīfai 21:9–12, fakakaukau pe ʻe founga fēfē haʻo lava ke tokoni ʻi hono fakahoko e ngaahi kikite ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení.
Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi hoʻo lau fekauʻaki mo e “fuka” (fuka pe fakaʻilonga) ʻe fokotuʻu ke tānaki e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá, fakakaukau ki haʻo mamata ki hono tānaki fakatuʻasino mo fakalaumālie ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Hono kakaí. Ko e hā ʻokú ne tohoakiʻi mai ʻa e kakaí ki he ʻEikí mo Hono Siasí.
Ko e hā ʻokú ke ongoʻi ‘okú ne ueʻi koe ke ke fai ke tokoni ʻi hono tānaki fakataha e kakai ʻo e ʻOtuá?
ʻE holofa e ʻofa ki māmani ʻa Pāpiloné.
Naʻe hoko e puleʻanga ʻo Pāpiloné ko ha fakamanamana fakapolitikale mo fakakautau mālohi fau ki ʻIsileli he kuonga muʻá. Ka ki he kakai ʻo Nīfaí—pea mo kitautolu he ʻaho ní—ʻoku tuʻu fakailifia lahi ange ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe Pāpiloné: ʻa e ʻofa ki māmaní mo e angahalá. Fakakaukau pe naʻe uesia fēfē ʻe he ngaahi fakatokanga ʻi he 2 Nīfai 23–24 ʻa e kakai naʻa nau manavahē pe saiʻia pe falala ki he koloa mo e mālohi ʻo Papiloné (vakai, hangē ko ʻení 23:6–9, 11, 19–22; 24:10–19). Ko e hā ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa tatau te tau ala manavasiʻi pe saiʻia pe falala ki ai he ʻahó ni? Ko e hā ʻokú ke ongoʻi ko e pōpoaki ia ʻa e ʻEikí kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi vahe ko ʻení? Fakakaukau pe te ke lava fēfē ke fakahaaʻi ʻokú ke “fiefia ʻi [he] pule [ʻa e ʻEikí]” (2 Nīfai 23:3).
ʻOku mau lea ʻia Kalaisi … ‘oku mau fiefia ʻia Kalaisi.”
Naʻe tauʻatāina pē hono vahevahe ʻe Nīfai ʻene ngaahi tuí—tautautefito ʻene fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻI he kotoa hoʻo ako ʻe 2 Nīfai 25, fakakaukau ki he fakaʻamu ʻa Nīfai ke “fakalotoʻi [ʻene] fānaú … ke nau tui kia Kalaisi, mo fakalelei ki he ʻOtuá” (veesi 23). Ko e hā naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe Nīfai ke ʻilo ʻe he kakaí fekauʻaki mo e Fakamoʻuí? (vakai, veesi 12–13, 16). Naʻe feinga fēfē ʻa Nīfai ke ne fakalotoʻi ʻa e kakaí ke tui kiate Iá? (vakai, veesi 19–29). Fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakamatala ʻi he ngaahi vahe ko ʻení ʻokú ne fakalotoʻi koe ke ke tui mo muimui kia Sīsū Kalaisí.
ʻOku ʻi ai hatau niʻihi he ʻikai ke nau ongoʻi loto lahi hangē ko Nīfaí ʻi heʻene teu fakamatala kia Kalaisí. Kae mahalo te ke lava ʻo maʻu ha meʻa ʻi he ngaahi akonaki ʻa Nīfai ʻi he 2 Nīfai 25:23–26 te ne ueʻi koe ke ke talanoa tauʻatāina ki Ai mo ha niʻihi kehe. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻe ala ueʻi koe ʻe he pehē ʻe Nīfai “ʻOku mau fiefia ʻia Kalaisí” ke ke fakakaukau ki he founga ʻoku ʻomi ai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí kiate koe ʻa e fiefiá—mo e founga te ke lava ai ʻo vahevahe ʻa e fiefia ko iá mo e niʻihi kehé.
