ʻOku fakatātaaʻi ʻe he niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi aʻusia ʻa Paula lolotonga ʻene fononga fakafaifekau hono uá ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo hono ako ʻo e folofolá.

Kapau ʻe maʻu, fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e Ngaahi Mape ʻo e Tohi Tapú, fika13, “Ko e Ngaahi Fononga Fakafaifekau ʻa e ʻAposetolo ko Paulá,” ke kumi ʻa Tesalonika mo e ngaahi feituʻu kehe naʻe fononga ai ʻa Paula lolotonga ʻene fononga fakafaifekau hono uá.

Lau ʻa e Ngāue 17:1–4 pea kumi ki he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Paula ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Siu ʻi Tesaloniká.

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Paulá?
Ko e hā ʻoku tokoni atu ʻa e fakamatala ko ʻení ke mahino kiate koe fekauʻaki mo e mahuʻinga ʻo e folofolá?

ʻOku fakamanatu mai ʻe he pōpoaki ʻa Paula ki he kau Siu ʻi Tesaloniká ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻa e folofolá kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo Hono misiona fakalangí (vakai, Sione 5:39). Fakakaukau ke tānaki atu ʻa e moʻoni ko ʻení ki he lisi ʻi hoʻo tohinoa ako.

ʻI he ikuʻangá, ko e taumuʻa mahuʻinga taha ʻo e folofola kotoa pē ko hono fakafonuʻaki hotau laumālié ʻa e tui ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamaí mo Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí—tui ʻokú Na moʻui; tui ki he palani ʻo ʻetau Tamaí ki heʻetau moʻui taʻe-faʻamaté mo e moʻui taʻengatá; tui ki he Fakalelei mo e Toetuʻu ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ʻa ia ʻoku lava ai ke fakahoko ʻa e palani ko ʻeni ʻo e fiefiá; tui ki hono moʻui ʻaki ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, pea mo e tui ke ʻiloʻi “ko e ʻOtua moʻoni pē tahá, mo Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻa ia [naʻá Ne] fekaú (Sione 17:3).”

Ko e fē ʻi he ngaahi tāpuaki naʻe fakamatala ki ai ʻa ʻEletā Kulisitofasoní kuó ke aʻusia ʻi hoʻo ako folofolá?
Ko e hā ha ngaahi veesi folofola kuó ne fakatupulaki hoʻo tui ki he Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí? Naʻe tokoniʻi fēfē koe ʻe he ngaahi moʻoni naʻe akoʻi ʻi he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení ke fakatupulaki hoʻo tuí?

Neongo naʻe tui mo ului ha kakai fefine mo e tangata tokolahi ʻo Tesalonika tuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi akonaki ʻa Paulá, ka naʻe ʻi ai ha niʻihi kehe naʻa nau feinga ke puke pōpula ʻa Paula mo Sailosi (vakai, Ngāue 17:4–5). Naʻe lava ʻa Paula mo Sailosi ʻo hola mei he kau fakatangá ʻo na ʻalu ki he kolo ofi mai ko Pēleá, ʻa ia naʻe hokohoko atu ai ʻena malangá.

Lau ʻa e Ngāue 17:10–12, ʻo kumi ki he founga naʻe tali ʻaki ʻe he kakai ʻo Pēleá ʻa Paula mo Sailosí. Fakakaukau ke fakaʻilongaʻi ha ngaahi foʻi lea mo ha ngaahi kupuʻi lea ʻokú ke ongoʻi ʻoku mahuʻinga.

Naʻe tokoniʻi fēfē ʻe hono ako fakaʻaho ʻo e folofolá ʻa e kakai ko ʻení?

Fakakaukau ki he founga ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi ai koe ʻi hono ako maʻu pē ʻo e folofolá ʻi he ngaahi tūkunga ko ʻení:

ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe ha taha ʻo hoʻo kau faiako ʻi he akó ha foʻi fakakaukau ʻoku fehangahangai mo hoʻo tuí.
ʻOku poupouʻi koe ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo ho ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ke ke fakahoko ha ngaahi tōʻonga ʻoku fepaki mo hoʻo ngaahi tuʻunga moʻuí ʻaki haʻo pehē, “He ʻikai hano maumau ka ke ka fakahoko tuʻo taha pē ia.”
ʻI he konifelenisi lahí, ʻoku akoʻi ʻe ha ʻAposetolo ha meʻa ʻoku fepaki mo e ngaahi ākenga lolotonga ʻo e māmaní.
