“Ko Ho Finangaló Ke U Fai ʻa e Hā?”

Saul on the road to Damascus having a vision.

ʻI ha taimi ʻo e “fakatanga lahi ki he siasí” (Ngāue 8:1), naʻe hū fakamālohi ʻa Saula ki ha ngaahi ʻapi lahi, ʻo puke mo tuku pōpula ʻa kinautolu naʻe tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí (vakai, Ngāue 8:3). ʻI he fononga ʻa Saula ki Tamasikusi ke hokohoko atu hono fakahohaʻasi e Kāingalotú, naʻe fakahā ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi Ia kia Saula (vakai, Ngāue 9:3–5). Naʻe ʻohovale lahi ʻa Saula ʻi heʻene fehuʻi ki he ʻEikí, “Ko ho finangaló ke u fai ʻa e hā?” (Ngāue 9:6). ʻOku fakataumuʻa ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke fakalaulauloto ki he meʻa ʻoku fai ʻe he ʻEikí ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke liliu ʻo lelei ange pea feinga ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻokú Ne finangalo ke ke faí.

Ko hono fakaʻaongaʻi ha ngaahi fakamatala fakafolofola lahí. ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku ʻi he folofolá ha ngaahi fakamatala lahi ʻo e meʻa tatau pē naʻe hokó.

Poupouʻi kinautolu ke nau kumi ha ngaahi faingamālie ke fai ai ʻeni ʻi heʻenau ako folofola fakatāutahá foki.

Teuteu ʻa e tokotaha akó: Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau talanoa ki ha mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí pe kaungāmeʻa fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi founga ʻoku fakaafeʻi mo tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ke tau liliú.

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau tekaʻi ha foʻi mapu pe foʻi pulu ʻi ha feituʻu tokalelei pea sio ki he liliu hono ʻalungá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau ai ʻi ha meʻá.

Ko e hā ha ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻe lava ke liliu ai ha taha ke lelei ange mo liliu e huʻunga ʻo ʻenau moʻuí ʻi hono fakafehoanaki ʻa e meʻa ʻoku teká ki ha tokotahá? Ko e hā ha ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻe ‘ikai ke malava ai?

Fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo e huʻunga ʻa hoʻo moʻuí.

Fekumi ki ha fakahā ki he ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení ʻi hoʻo ako ʻa e lēsoni ko ʻení.

“ʻE Saula, ʻe Saula, ko e hā ʻokú ke fakatangaʻi ai aú?”

Naʻe tokoniʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ha tangata ko Hono hingoá ko Saula ke liliu ʻene moʻuí. ʻI he kamataʻangá, naʻe hoko ʻa Saula ko ha Fālesi naʻá ne “[fakatupu] moveuveu ʻi he siasí” ( Ngāue 8:3). Naʻá ne tali e pekia ʻa e ākonga ko Sitīvení (vakai , Ngāue 7:58 ; 8:1 ; 22:20) mo e “tuku pōpula mo tā ʻi he fale lotu kotoa pē ʻa kinautolu naʻe tui [ki he ʻEikí]” (Ngāue 22:19).

Vaeua ha peesi ʻe taha ʻi hoʻo tohinoá, pea fakahingoa e tafaʻaki ʻe tahá ko e “Founga naʻe tokoniʻi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Saula ke liliú. ” Fakahingoa e tafaʻaki ʻe tahá ko e “Tali ʻa Saula ki he ʻEikí.”

Lau ha fakamatala ʻe taha pe lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e aʻusia ʻa Saula ʻi he hala ki Tāmasikusí, pea fakafonu ʻa e sātí ʻo fakatefito ʻi he meʻa ʻokú ke maʻú.

ʻE lava ke vahevahe ʻa e kau akó ki ha fanga kiʻi kulupu iiki ʻa ia ʻoku vahe ai ʻa e tokotaha ako takitaha ke ne lau ha fakamatala kehe. Te nau lava ʻo ngāue fakataha ke lisi e meʻa ʻoku nau maʻú ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he fakamatala takitaha ʻo e aʻusia ʻa Saulá. ʻI he taimi ʻoku vahevahe ai e kalasí ki ha fanga kiʻi kulupu īkí, fakakaukau ki he ngaahi fiemaʻu mo e meʻa ʻe malava ʻe he kau akó. Fakatahatahaʻi e kau akó ʻi ha ngaahi kulupu te nau lava ʻo fakatupulaki ai ʻa e aʻusia fakaakó maʻá e tokotaha kotoa pē.

Kapau ʻoku fiemaʻu tokoni ʻa e kau akó ke mahino ʻa e kupuʻi lea “ʻakahi ʻa e meʻa māsilá” (Ngāue 9:5), fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e fakamatala ʻoku maʻu ʻi he konga “Ngaahi Fakamatala Fakamahino mo e Puipuituʻá” ʻi he lēsoní.

Naʻe taʻofi ʻe Paula hono fakatangaʻi ʻo e kau Kalisitiané ka naʻá ne hoko ko ha ākonga mālohi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi.
