Mātiu 3:13–17, Konga 1

Naʻe papitaiso ʻa Sīsū ʻe Sione Papitaiso.

Naʻe hāʻele ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi kia Sione Papitaiso ke ne papitaiso Ia. ʻE lava ke tokoni atu ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení ke mahino kiate koe mo ke fakamatalaʻi ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e papitaisó ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.

Ko e mahuʻinga ʻo e papitaisó

Fakakaukau ki he kakai ʻokú ke ‘ofa ai ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻikai ke nau kau ki he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. Fakakaukauloto naʻe ʻi ai ha taha ʻiate kinautolu naʻe feʻiloaki mo e kau faifekaú. Te ke ongoʻi fēfē nai? Fakakaukauloto ʻoku kole atu ʻe he kau faifekaú ke ke fakamatalaʻi ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e papitaisó. Fakakaukau ki ha meʻa te ke ala lea ʻaki ʻe lava ʻo tokoni ki ha taha ʻokú ke ʻofa ai ke ne fakahoko ʻa e sitepu mahuʻinga ko ʻení.

• Ko e hā ha meʻa te ke fie ʻilo lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e papitaisó, ke ke ongoʻi mateuteu ange ai ke fakamatalaʻi hono mahuʻingá?

ʻI he lēsoni ʻo e ʻaho ní, te ke maʻu ai ʻa e faingamālie ke ako ʻa e tokāteline ʻo e papitaisó mo fai ha ngaahi fehuʻi kehekehe fekauʻaki mo e kaveingá. Te ke toe maʻu foki ha faingamālie ke akoako hono fakamatalaʻi ʻo e meʻa ʻokú ke akó.

Naʻe papitaiso ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ke fakahā mai kiate kitautolu ʻa e halá

Naʻe fononga lalo ʻa Sīsū mei Kāleli ki Petapala, ke papitaiso ia ʻe Sione Papitaiso (vakai, Mātiu 3:13 ; Sione 1:28 ; 1 Nīfai 10:9). Naʻe maʻu ʻe Sione ʻa e ngaahi kī ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné pea naʻá ne papitaiso ʻa e kakaí ʻi he Vaitafe Soataní (vakai, Ko e Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “ Sione Papitaiso,” scriptures.ChurchofJesusChrist.org). Fakaʻaongaʻi ha taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻafua ʻi he mapé ke fakafuofuaʻi ai ʻa e mamaʻo naʻe fononga ai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí.

• Ko e hā ʻe lava ke akoʻi atu ʻe he feinga ko ia ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke papitaiso Ia ʻe Sioné, fekauʻaki mo Ia mo e papitaisó?

Lau ʻa e Mātiu 3:13–17, pea fakakaukauloto ʻokú ke ʻi he papitaiso ʻo e Fakamoʻuí. Fekumi ki ha ngaahi fakaikiiki mahuʻinga fekauʻaki mo e Fakamoʻuí mo e papitaisó te ke fie fakamanatuʻí. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e foʻi lea “tuku” ʻi he veesi 15 “ke fakangofua pe fakaʻatā.” Mahalo te ke fie mamata foki ʻi he foʻi vitiō “Ko e Papitaiso ʻo Sīsuú” (2:54), maʻu ʻi he ChurchofJesusChrist.org, pea muimui ki ai ʻi hoʻo folofolá.

Ko Hono Papitaiso ʻo Sīsuú

Jesus seeks out John the Baptist and is baptized in order to fulfill all righteousness.

• Kapau naʻá ke ʻi he papitaiso ʻo e Fakamoʻuí, ko e hā ha meʻa te ke fie manatuʻi mei he aʻusia ko iá?

• ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ha meʻa naʻá ke mei ako fekauʻaki mo e Fakamoʻuí mo e papitaisó?

Fakakaukau ki ha meʻa te ke lava ʻo vahevahe mo ho kaungāmeʻá pe mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí fekauʻaki mo e papitaiso ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻe ala tokoni kiate ia.

Mahalo ʻe ʻaonga foki ke fakakaukau ki he ngaahi fehuʻi ʻe ala maʻu ho kaungāmeʻá pe mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí fekauʻaki mo e papitaisó. ʻE lava ke tali ha niʻihi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi fehuʻí ʻi he Mātiu 3 . ʻIkai ngata aí, ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko ha maʻuʻanga tokoni fakalaumālie ia ʻokú ne fakamahinoʻi ha ngaahi moʻoni lahi fekauʻaki mo e papitaisó. Ko e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení ko ha ngaahi sīpinga ia ʻo e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻe ala ‘eke ʻe ha taha ʻoku ʻikai mahino ki ai ‘a e mahuʻinga ʻo e papitaisó. Fili ha fehuʻi ʻe taha ʻokú ke pehē ʻe ‘eke ho kaungāmeʻá pe mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí. Hili iá pea ke ako ʻa e ngaahi veesi ʻoku fekauʻaki mo ia ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, pea vakai ki he founga te nau ala tokoni atu ai ke ke tali ʻa e fehuʻi ko iá.

• Neongo naʻe papitaiso ʻa Sīsū, ʻoku fie maʻu nai ke papitaiso mo au? Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga? (Vakai, 2 Nīfai 9:21, 23–24 ; 2 Nīfai 31:5, 10–11 .)

• Ko e hā ha ‘uhinga te u fie papitaiso aí ? Ko e hā ha ngaahi tāpuaki te u maʻu ? (Vakai, 2 Nīfai 31: 12–13, 17–18 .)

• Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sīsū kia Sione Papitaiso ke papitaiso Ia. Ko hai ‘e lava ke ne papitaiso aú? (Vakai, 3 Nīfai 11:19–22 .)

• Naʻe papitaiso ʻa Sīsū ʻi he Vaitafe Soataní, pea naʻe ʻalu hake ia mei he vaí. Kuo pau nai ke u hifo kakato ki lalo ʻi he vaí, pe ʻoku ʻi ai ha toe founga ke papitaiso ai au? (Vakai, 2 Nīfai 31:13 ; 3 Nīfai 11:23–26 .)

• Kapau ʻoku papitaiso au ke fakamaʻa au mei he angahalá, ko e hā naʻe papitaiso ai ʻa Sīsuú? ʻIkai naʻe taʻeangahala Ia? (Vakai, 2 Nīfai 31:5–11 .)

2. Hiki ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó ʻa e ngaahi tali ki he ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení.

Fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e meʻa kuó ke ako mei he Mātiu 3:13–17 mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ke hiki ʻa e founga te ke fakamatalaʻi ai ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e papitaisó ki he mēmipa ho fāmilí pe kaungāmeʻá.

Kapau ʻokú ke ongoʻi ʻoku ueʻi fakalaumālie koe, fakakaukau ke vahevahe hoʻo fakamatalá mo haʻo kaungāmeʻa pe mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí kuo teʻeki ai ke papitaiso ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. ʻE lava foki ke hoko ʻa e vahevahe mo ha taha kuo ʻosi papitaisó ko ha ʻekitivitī ʻaonga.

Mātiu 3:13 . Ko e hā naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Sīsū kia Sione ke papitaisó?

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e mafai naʻe maʻu ʻe Sione Papitaisó ʻi heʻene pehē:

Ko Sione pē ʻa e pule fakalao ki he ngaahi meʻa ‘o e puleʻangá naʻe ʻi māmani ʻi he taimi ko iá, mo ne lolotonga maʻu ʻa e ngaahi kī ki he mālohí. Naʻe pau ke talangofua ʻa e kakai Siú ki heʻene ngaahi fakahinohinó pe te nau malaʻia, ʻi heʻenau lao pē ʻanautolú. … Naʻe maʻu ʻe he foha ʻo Sākalaiá ʻa e ngaahi kií, mo e puleʻangá, mo e mālohí, ʻa e nāunaú mei he kakai Siú, ʻi he pani māʻoniʻoni mo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻo e hēvaní.

(Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí: Siosefa Sāmita [2007], 81–82; vakai foki, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 84:23–28)

Te tau ʻiloʻi fēfē nai ʻoku mahuʻinga ‘a e papitaisó?

Naʻe akonaki ʻa e Fakamoʻuí fekauʻaki mo e natula mahuʻinga ʻo e papitaisó ʻi Heʻene fakahā kia Nikotīmasi ‘oku fie maʻu ‘a e meʻá ni kae toki hū ki he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá (vakai, Sione 3:5). Naʻe toe akonaki foki ‘e he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻa e papitaisó ki he fakamoʻuí:

Fakatomala mei hoʻomou ngaahi angahala kotoa pē, pea papitaiso ʻi he vaí ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻa kinautolu, ʻi he huafa ʻo e Tamaí, pea mo e ʻAló, pea mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, pea maʻu ʻa e ouau ʻo e hilifaki ʻo e nima ʻo ia kuo fakanofo mo fakamaʻu ki he mālohí ni, koeʻuhí ke mou lava ʻo maʻu ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá; pea ʻoku fakatatau ʻeni ki he Ngaahi Folofola Māʻoniʻoní, pea mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná; pea ko e founga pē ia ʻe lava ai ke hū ʻa e tangatá ki he puleʻanga fakasilesitialé.

(Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí: Siosefa Sāmita[2007], 154)

ʻE fakapapauʻi fēfē nai ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻa e tokāteline ʻo e papitaisó ʻa ia ʻoku akoʻi ʻi he Tohi Tapú?

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻĒletā Tad R. Callister ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú ‘o pehē:

ʻOku toutou hoko ‘a e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko ha fakamoʻoni ʻokú ne fakapapauʻi, fakamaʻalaʻala mo fakatahatahaʻi ‘a e tokāteline naʻe akoʻi ʻi he Tohi Tapú ke ʻi ai ʻa e “ʻEiki pē ‘e taha, ko e tui pē taha, ko e papitaiso pē taha.” …

ʻOku lahi e ngaahi founga kehekehe ʻo e papitaisó ʻi māmani he ʻahó ni neongo naʻe fakahā mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e founga ne papitaiso ai e Fakamoʻuí, ʻa hotau Faʻifaʻitakiʻanga tuʻukimuʻá: “Naʻe ʻalu hake leva ia mei he vaí” ( Mātiu 3:16). Te Ne lava nai ke ʻalu hake mei he vaí tukukehe kapau naʻá ne tomuʻa ʻalu hifo ki he vaí? Koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai ha fakakikihi ʻi he kaveingá ni, naʻe fakangata ia ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻaki e fakamatala fakahangatonu ko ʻeni ʻo e tokāteline totonu ki he founga ʻo e papitaisó: “Pea te mou toki fakangalo hifo ʻa kinautolu ʻi he vaí” ( 3 Nīfai 11:26).
