Ko e akonaki ʻa Paula fekauʻaki mo e natula ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí

Lau leʻolahi ʻa e ngaahi tūkunga ko ʻení:

Fakafeʻiloaki nounou ʻa e tohi ʻa Hepeluú ʻaki hano fakamatalaʻi ange, naʻe ʻikai toe kau atu ha niʻihi ʻo e kau papi ului ʻo e kakai Siú (ʻuhinga ki he kakai Hepeluú) ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻa e Siasí koeʻuhí ko e mālohi ʻa e ngaahi fakatangá pea foki ki heʻenau ngaahi founga angamaheni ʻo e lotu faka-Siú, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai kau ai ha tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí (vakai, Hepelū 10:25, 38–39). Naʻe hiki ʻe Paula ʻa e tohi ko ʻení ke poupouʻi e kāingalotu ko ʻeni ʻo e Siasí ke nau tauhi faivelenga kia Sīsū Kalaisi.

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke kumi ha foʻi moʻoni ʻi heʻenau ako e tohi ʻa Hepelū te ne lava ʻo tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau tauhi faivelenga kia Kalaisi ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau ongoʻi foʻi aí.

Naʻe fakatupu ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e langí mo e māmaní (vakai, Hepelū 1:2, 10).

ʻOku folofola ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi maʻá e Tamaí (vakai, Hepelū 1:2).

Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e ʻea ʻo e Tamaí (vakai, Hepelū 1:2).

Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e tatau ʻaupito ʻo e Tamaí (vakai, Hepelū 1:3).

ʻOku poupou hake ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ʻaki ʻEne folofola mālohí (vakai, Hepelū 1:3).

ʻOku totongi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻetau ngaahi angahalá (vakai, Hepelū 1:3).

ʻOku nofo ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo e Tamaí (vakai, Hepelū 1:3).

Mahalo ʻe fie maʻu ke ke fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e kupuʻi lea “tatau ʻaupito ʻo e Tamaí” ki he fakafōtunga fakaesino mo fakalaumālie fakatouʻosi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní pea maʻu Hono ʻulungaanga faka-ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he kupuʻi lea “poupou hake ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻaki ʻene folofola mālohí” ʻa e mālohi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.

Fakamatalaʻi ange ko ha kaveinga ʻe taha ʻi he tohi ʻa Hepeluú ko e māʻolunga taha ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. Hangē ko ʻení, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Paula ʻi he Hepelū 1:4–14, ʻoku maʻongoʻonga ange ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he kau ʻāngeló. Naʻá ne hoko atu ʻi he ngaahi vahe hoko aí, ke fakahaaʻi e fungani mo e māʻolunga taha ʻa Kalaisí.

Poupouʻi e kau akó ke hokohoko atu hono kumi e kaveinga ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau ako e toenga ʻo e tohi ʻa Hepeluú.

Hepelū 2

Ko e akoʻi ʻe Paula ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e Kapiteni ʻo hotau fakamoʻuí

Kole ki he kau akó ke fakakaukau ki he founga te nau fili ʻaki ha kapiteni pe taki ki ha ngaahi timi pe kulupu kehekehe te nau ala kau ki ai (hangē ko e sipotí, tipeití, tulamá, pe ko e ngaahi kalapu ʻa e akó).

  • Ko e hā ha ngaahi ʻulungaanga te ke fekumi ki ai ʻi hono fili ha kapiteni pe taki?

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe fakamatala lahi ange ʻa Paula ʻi he Hepelū 2, fekauʻaki mo e natula mo e tuʻunga ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ki he kau Siu ne uluí ke tokoni ke nau sio ki he ʻuhinga ʻoku totonu ke nau hokohoko atu ai ke muimui ʻia Sīsū Kalaisí. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e Hepelū 2:10. Kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e founga naʻe fakamatalaʻi ai ʻe Paula ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.

  • Ko e hā ʻoku kapiteni ai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí? (Hiki ʻa e moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé: Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e Kapiteni ʻo hotau fakamoʻuí.)

  • Ko e hā e founga ʻoku hoko ai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko e kapiteni ʻo hotau fakamoʻuí?

Vahevahe e kau akó ke tauhoa, pea vahe ki ha tokotaha ako ke lau e Hepelū 2:8–13 pea lau ʻe he tokotaha ako ʻe taha e Hepelū 2:14–18. Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke kumi e ngaahi kupuʻi lea ʻokú ne fakamatalaʻi e ʻuhinga naʻe feʻunga ai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke hoko ko e Kapiteni ʻo hotau fakamoʻuí. (Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku ʻuhinga e kupuʻi lea “ke fai ʻa e fakalelei koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi angahala ʻa e kakaí” ʻi he veesi 17 ki he huhuʻi ʻe Kalaisi ʻetau ngaahi angahalá, ʻo fakangofua ai kitautolu ke fakamolemoleʻi, pe ʻomi ki ha vā fetuʻutaki uouangataha mo e Tamai Hēvaní.)

Hili ha taimi feʻunga, kole ki he kau akó ke lipooti ki honau hoá e meʻa ne nau maʻú. Hili ia, fehuʻi ange leva ki he kalasí:

  • Fakatatau ki he veesi 9, ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi maʻá e kakai kotoa pē?

  • Fakatatau ki he veesi 14, ko hai naʻe ikunaʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻi Heʻene Fakaleleí?

Fakamahinoʻi ange naʻe ʻikai ʻuhinga pē ʻa Paula ki he Fakamoʻuí ko e Kapiteni ʻo hotau fakamoʻuí, ka naʻá ne ui foki Ia ko e “taulaʻeiki lahi ʻaloʻofa mo angatonu” (veesi 17). Naʻe fakatatau ʻe Paula ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ki ha taulaʻeiki lahi Siu koeʻuhí naʻe lau ʻa e taulaʻeiki lahí ko ha fakalaloa ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e kakaí mo e ʻOtuá.

  • Fakatatau ki he veesi 17, ko e hā naʻá ne fakaʻatā ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ke hoko ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ʻaloʻofa mo angatonú?

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe ʻomi ʻe Paula ha fakakaukau lahi ange ʻi he Hepelū 4:14–16 ki heʻene akonaki fekauʻaki mo e founga ʻoku hoko ai e Fakamoʻuí ko e taulaʻeiki lahi ʻaloʻofa mo angatonú. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi ʻa e ngaahi veesi ko ʻení. Kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e meʻa ʻokú ne ʻai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko ha taulaʻeiki lahi leleí. Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke lipooti e meʻa ʻoku nau maʻú.

(Tokoni ki he kau akó ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e moʻoni ko ʻení: Koeʻuhí naʻe mamahi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi pea ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻokú Ne maʻu ha mahino lelei kiate kitautolu pea lava ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi he taimi faingataʻá. Tohi ʻa e moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé.)

Fakaafeʻi ʻa e kau akó ke hiki ʻi heʻenau tohinoa ako folofolá pe pepa ki he kalasí ha meʻa ʻokú ne ʻai ke nau hohaʻa fakatuʻasino pe fakalaumālie.

Fakamanatu ki he kau akó naʻe aʻusia ʻe he Kāingalotu Siú ʻa e ngaahi fakatangá ʻi hono moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí. Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe ʻuhinga ʻa Paula ʻi he Hepelū 3 mo e 4 ki ha aʻusia mei he Fuakava Motuʻá ke akoʻi e Kāingalotú ʻi he founga ke maʻu ai ʻa e mālōloó ʻi he moʻuí ni mo e moʻui ka hokó.

Fakamatalaʻi ange hili hono fakatauʻatāinaʻi e kakai ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá mei ʻIsipité, ne nau fakatupu houhau ki he ʻEikí pea ko ia ai ne ʻikai ngofua ke nau hū ki he mālōlōʻanga ʻo e ʻEikí (vakai, Nōmipa 14; Sēkope 1:7–8; ʻAlamā 12:33–37; 13:6, 12–13, 28–29). Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke fakaʻilongaʻi e kupuʻi lea “hoku mālōlōʻangá” ʻi he Hepelū 3:11.

“ʻOku hū e kau māʻoniʻoni moʻoní ki he mālōlōʻanga ʻo e ʻEikí lolotonga ʻenau ʻi he moʻuí ni, pea ʻi hono tauhi maʻu e moʻoní, ʻoku nau hokohoko atu ai ʻi he tuʻunga faitāpuekina ko iá kae ʻoua ke nau mālōlō mo e ʻEikí ʻi he langí. … Ko e mālōlōʻanga ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻa ia ʻoku tokanga ki ai e kakai fakamatelié, ko e maʻu ia ha ʻilo haohaoa ki he faka-ʻOtua ʻo e ngāue māʻongoʻonga ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní. … Ko e mālōlōʻanga ‘o e ‘Eikí ‘i he taʻengatá, ko hono maʻu ia ‘o e moʻui taʻengatá, ‘o maʻu ai hono kakato ‘o e nāunau ‘o e ‘Otuá.

  • Ko e hā ʻene ʻuhinga ke tau hū ki he mālōlōʻanga ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi he moʻuí ni? Hili ʻetau maté?

Lau leʻolahi ʻa e Hepelū 4:1 pea kole ki he kau akó ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe hohaʻa ki ai ʻa Paula he ʻikai fai ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí.

Hiki ʻa e ngaahi folofola ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé: Hepelū 3:7–8, 12–15, 18–19; 4:2–3, 6–7, 11.

Ngaahi Fakamatala Fakamahino mo e Puipuituʻá

Hepelū 1:3. Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e “tatau ʻaupito” ʻo ʻEne Tamaí.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni Siosefa F. Sāmita ʻa e meʻá ni fekauʻaki mo e tatau ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí:

“Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ko [e] ʻAlo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ko e ‘tatau moʻoni’ ia ʻo ʻEne Tamaí (Hepelū 1:3). Naʻe ʻi he māmaní ko ha tangata, ko ha tangata haohaoa, pea ne tali ai ki ha fehuʻi naʻe fai ange ʻo pehē: ‘ko ia kuó ne mamata kiate aú, kuo mamata ia ki he Tamaí’ (Sione 14:9). ʻE lava ʻataʻatā pē ʻe he foʻi talí ni ʻo veteki ʻa e palopalema ʻa ha ʻatamai ʻoku fifili mo fakamātoato.
