“Ho Puleʻangá ʻe Fokotuʻu ia ʻo Taʻengata”

“ʻOku foaki mai ʻa e [folofola] kotoa pē ʻi he fakamānava ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he akonakí, mo e valokí, mo e fakatonutonú, mo e fakapoto ki he māʻoniʻoní” (2 Tīmote 3:16

Lekooti e Ngaahi Ongo ʻOkú ke Maʻú

Naʻe kamata e pule ʻa e Tuʻi ko Tēvitá mo ha ngaahi monūʻia lahi. Naʻe ʻiloa ʻene tui taʻeueʻiá ʻi hono ikunaʻi ʻo Kolaiaté. ʻI heʻene hoko ko e tuʻí, naʻá ne fokotuʻu ʻa Selusalema ko hono kolomuʻa mo fakatahaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli (vakai, 2 Samuela 5). Naʻe teʻeki ai ke mālohi pehē e puleʻangá kimuʻa. Ka naʻe tukulolo ʻa Tēvita ki he ʻahiʻahí pea mole hono mālohi fakalaumālié.

Naʻe tatau pē mo e pule ʻa e foha ʻo Tēvita ko Solomoné naʻe kamata ʻaki ha ngaahi monūʻia lahi. Naʻe ongoongoa hono poto fakalangi ne foaki maí pea pehē ki heʻene ʻiloʻiló. ʻI heʻene hoko ko e tuʻí, naʻá ne fakalahi e ngaahi kauʻāfonua ʻo ʻIsilelí pea langa ha temipale fakaʻofoʻofa ki he ʻEikí. Naʻe teʻeki ai ke mālohi pehē e puleʻangá kimuʻa. Ka naʻe fakavalevale hono fakaʻatā ʻe Solomone hono lotó ke tafoki ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehé.

Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako mei he ngaahi talanoa fakamamahi ko ʻení? Mahalo ko e lesoni ‘e tahá ʻoku tatau ai pē ko e hā ʻetau ngaahi aʻusia he kuohilí, ʻoku makatuʻunga hotau mālohinga fakalaumālié mei he ngaahi fili ʻoku tau fai he ʻaho ní. ʻOku lava ke tau sio mei he ngaahi fakamatala ko ʻení ʻoku ʻikai ke fakahaofi kitautolu ʻe hotau mālohí pe loto-toʻá pe potó—ka ko e ‘Eikí. ʻOku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he ngaahi talanoa ko ʻení kiate kitautolu ko e ʻamanaki moʻoni ʻa ʻIsilelí—mo kitautolú—ʻoku ‘ikai meia Tēvita, Solomone, pe ko ha faʻahinga tuʻi fakamatelie kehe, ka ʻi ha “foha ʻo Tēvita” ʻe taha: ko Sīsū Kalaisi (Mātiu 1:1), ko e Tuʻi Taʻengatá ʻa ia te ne “fakamolemole ‘a e angahala ʻa [Hono] kakaí” kapau te tau “toe tafoki mai kiate [Ia]” (1 Ngaahi Tuʻi 8:33–34).

Ngaahi Fakakaukau ki Hono Ako Fakatāutaha ʻo e Folofolá

2 Samuela 5:17–25

‘E lava ke fakahinohinoʻi au ʻe he ʻEikí.

ʻI he malava ʻe Tēvita ʻo fakatahaʻi ʻa ʻIsilelí (vakai, 2 Samuela 5:1–5), naʻá ne maluʻi hono kakaí mei he kau Filisitiá. ʻI hoʻo lau ʻa e 2 Samuela 5:17–25, fakakaukau ki he founga ʻe lava ʻo tokoniʻi ai koe ʻe he sīpinga ʻa Tēvitá ʻi he ngaahi faingataʻa ʻokú ke fehangahangai mo iá (vakai foki, 1 Samuela 23:2, 10–11; 30:8; 2 Samuela 2:1). ʻOkú ke fekumi fēfē ki he fakahinohino ʻa e ʻEikí ki hoʻo moʻuí? ‘Oku tāpuekina fēfē koe ʻi hoʻo ngāueʻi e fakahā ʻokú ke maʻú?

1 Samuela 7

Ko e hā ʻa e “fale” naʻe talaʻofa ʻe he ʻEikí kia Tēvitá?

ʻI he taimi naʻe loto ai ʻa Tēvita ke langa ha fale, ʻa ia ko ha temipale, maʻá e ʻEikí (vakai, 2 Samuela 7:1–3), ko e tali ‘a e ʻEikí ko e foha ‘o Tēvitá te ne langa iá (vakai, veesi 12–15; vakai foki, 1 Fakamatala Meʻa Hokohoko 17:1–15). Naʻe toe pehē foki ʻe he ʻEikí te ne langa ha “fale” maʻa Tēvita, ʻa ia ko hono hakó, pea ʻe tolonga ʻo taʻengata hono taloní (vakai, 2 Samuela 7:11, 16, 25–29; Saame 89: 3–4, 35–37). Naʻe fakakakato e talaʻofa ko ʻení ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi, ko hotau Tuʻi Taʻengatá, ʻa ia ko ha hako ia ʻo Tēvita (vakai, Mātiu 1:1; Luke 1:32–33; Sione 18:33–37).

2 Samuel 11; 12:1–14

‘Oku totonu ke u mata ʻāʻā ki hono fakafepakiʻi ʻo e angahalá.

Naʻe ʻikai ke hanga ʻe he faivelenga ʻa Tēvita ʻi he kuohilí ʻo ʻai ia ke ne hao ai mei he ʻahiʻahí ʻi he taimi naʻá ne “ʻeveʻeva ki ʻolunga ʻi he tuʻa fale ʻo e tuʻí” pea “mamata ki he fefine ʻoku fai ʻene kaukau” (2 Samuela 11:2). Fakakaukau pe ko e hā ha lēsoni te ke lava ʻo ako mei heʻene aʻusiá. ʻE ala tokoni e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení ʻi hoʻo ako e fakamatala ko ʻení:

• Ko e hā ha ngaahi fili na‘e fai ʻe Tēvita ne tupu ai haʻane fakahoko ha fuʻu angahala lalahi? Ko e hā ha ngaahi fili angatonu naʻá ne mei lava ke fakahoko?

• ‘E anga fēfē hano tataki koe ʻe he filí ki ha faiangahala lahi ʻi hoʻo moʻuí? Ko e hā ha ngaahi fili te ke fai he taimí ni ke toe foki ai ki he nofo malú?

ʻOku tokoni e meʻafoaki ʻo e ʻiloʻiló ke u fakafaikehekeheʻi e meʻa ʻoku tonú mei he meʻa ʻoku halá.

Kapau naʻe folofola atu e ʻEikí kiate koe, “Kole ha meʻa ke u foaki kiate koe” (1 Ngaahi Tuʻi 3:5), ko e hā te ke kolé? Ko e hā naʻe mālie kiate koe ʻi he kole ʻa Solomoné? Fakalaulauloto ki he ‘uhinga ʻoku hoko ai e “loto potó” ke “ʻilo totonu ʻa e leleí mo e koví” (veesi 9) ko ha meʻafoaki mahuʻinga. Ko e hā te ke lava ʻo fai ke maʻu ai e meʻafoaki ko ʻení?

Ko e temipalé ko e fale ia ʻo e ʻEikí.

ʻI ha taʻu ʻe laungeau, naʻe fakafofongaʻi e ʻafioʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻe he fale fehikitaki naʻe hikihiki holo pē naʻe langa ʻe Mōsesé. Neongo e loto ʻa Tēvita ke ne langa ha feituʻu tuʻumaʻu ke ʻafio ai e ʻOtuá, ka naʻe fili ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Solomone ko e foha ʻo Tēvitá ke ne langa e temipale ʻo e ʻEikí. ʻI hoʻo lau e lotu ʻa Solomoné mo e ngaahi lea naʻá ne lea ʻaki ki hono kakaí ʻi he ʻosi ʻa e temipalé, fakatokanga‘i e anga ʻene ongo ki he ʻEikí mo Hono falé.
