Sione 13:1–17

Ko hono fufulu ʻe Sīsū e vaʻe ʻo ʻEne kau ʻAposetoló

Kimuʻa pea fai e kalasí, tā ʻa e fakatātā ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé:

Lau leʻolahi ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻení, pea fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke fakalaulauloto ki he founga te nau tali ai iá (fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku ʻikai fie maʻu ia ke nau tali leʻolahi):

Ko e fē feituʻu ʻokú ke ʻi ai ʻi he tuʻunga ko ʻení?
Te ke fie fiefia ange ʻi he tuʻunga ʻokú ke lolotonga ʻi aí?
Te ke lava ʻo fakakaukau ki ha taha ʻokú ke loto ke tokoniʻi ke fiefia ange?

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke kumi ha tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻi heʻenau ako e Sione 13 ʻe lava ʻo tokoni ke nau ʻilo e meʻa te nau lava ʻo fai ke toe fiefia angé.

Ke tokoni ke mahino ki he kau akó ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e Sione 13 fakamanatu ange naʻe fakamanatu ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kātonga Lakaatú mo ʻEne kau ʻAposetoló. Fakamatalaʻi fakanounou ʻa e Sione 13:1–3 ʻaki hano fakamatalaʻi ange ʻi he fakahoko ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻohomohe fakaʻosí mo ʻEne kau ʻAposetoló kimuʻa ʻi hono Tutuki Iá, naʻá Ne ʻafioʻi ʻe vavé ni pē ʻEne maté pea foki hake ki Heʻene Tamai Hēvaní.

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e Sione 13:4–5 pea kole ki he kalasi ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū hili ʻEne maʻu meʻatokoni mo ʻEne kau ʻAposetoló ʻi he kātoanga Lakaatú. Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e kupuʻi lea “ʻo tuku hono kofú” ʻi he veesi 4 naʻe vete ʻe Sīsū ha kofu tuʻa, ʻo hangē ko hano vete ʻe ha taha ha sāketi ʻi he kuongá ni.

Ko e hā ʻa e ngāue tokoni naʻe fakahoko ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ki Heʻene kau ākongá?

Fakamatalaʻi ange “ʻi he kuonga ʻo e Fuakava Foʻoú, naʻe tui ʻe he kakaí ha senitolo, pea naʻe lahi taha pē ʻenau lué ʻi he ngaahi hala kelekele naʻá ne tānaki e ʻuli ʻo e fanga manú, pea tātātaha ke nau maʻu ha vai ke kaukau. Naʻe fuʻu ʻuli ʻaupito honau vaʻé, pea ko ha ngāue taʻeoli ia hono fufulu ʻo e vaʻe ʻa ha taha kehe. … Naʻe angamaheni ʻaki hono fakahoko ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki maʻulalo tahá ʻa e founga talitali ko ʻení” (New Testament Student Manual [Church Educational System manual, 2014], [00]). Lolotonga e ʻohomohe fakaʻosi ko ʻení, “naʻe tuʻu fakalongolongo ʻa Kalaisi, kuo nonoʻo ia ʻo hangē ha pōpulá pe taimaioʻeikí, pea tūʻulutui ke fufulu e vaʻe ʻo e kau ʻAposetoló” (Jeffrey R. Holland, “He Loved Them unto the End,” Ensign, Nov. 1989, 25).

Fakaʻaliʻali e fakatātā Ko Hono Fufulu ʻe Sīsū e Vaʻe ʻo e Kau ʻAposetoló (Tohi Fakatātā ʻo e Ongoongoleleí [2009], fika 55; vakai foki LDS.org).

Kapau naʻá ke ʻi ai ʻi hono fufulu ʻe Sīsū e vaʻe ʻo e kau ʻAposetoló, naʻá ke mei feangai fēfē kapau naʻe kamata ke fufulu ʻe Sīsū ho vaʻé?
Ko e hā ʻoku fakahā mai ʻi hono fufulu e vaʻe ʻo e kau ʻAposetoló fekauʻaki mo e ʻulungaanga ʻo Sīsuú?

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e Liliu ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá, Sione 13:8 (ʻi he Fakahinohino ki he Folofolá). Kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Pitá ʻi he kamata ke fufulu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí hono vaʻé.

Fakatatau ki he Liliu ʻa Siosefa Sāmita, Sione 13:8, ko e hā naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Pitá ʻi he kamata ke fufulu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí hono vaʻé?

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e Liliu ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá, Sione 13:9–10 (ʻi he Fakahinohino ki he Folofolá). Kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e tali ʻa Pita ki he meʻa naʻe talaange ʻe he ʻEikí.

Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako fekauʻaki mo Pitá mei heʻene tali ʻoku lekooti ʻi he veesi 9, ki he meʻa naʻe talaange ʻe he ʻEikí? (Naʻe fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻe Pita ʻa e ʻEikí peá ne fie maʻu ke muimui kakato kiate Ia.)

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe ʻikai ngata pē hono fakahoko ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ha ngāue tokoni fakaʻofoʻofa ʻi hono fufulu e vaʻe ʻo ʻEne kau ʻAposetoló, ka naʻá Ne fakahoko foki ʻa e fono ʻa Mōsesé mo fokotuʻu ha ouau toputapu (vakai, Bruce R.

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e Sione 13:11, pea kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e ʻuhinga naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ki he Kau ʻAposetoló “ʻoku maʻa ʻa kimoutolu, kae ʻikai kotoa pē.”

Ko hai naʻe ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻi Heʻene pehē ki he Kau ʻAposetoló “ʻoku maʻa ʻa kimoutolu, kae ʻikai kotoa pē.” (Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, ʻa ia ʻe vavé ni pē ʻene lavakiʻi Iá.)

Fakaafeʻi ha kau ako ʻe niʻihi ke taufetongi ʻi hono lau leʻolahi e Sione 13:12–17. Kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ki Heʻene kau ʻAposetoló hili ʻEne fufulu honau vaʻé.

Fakatatau ki he veesi 13–16, ko e hā e sīpinga naʻe tā ʻe he Fakamoʻuí mo fakaafeʻi ʻEne kau ʻAposetoló ke muimui ki aí? (Neongo ko e Fakamoʻuí ko e “Takimuʻa mo e ʻEikí” [veesi 13] mo e maʻongoʻonga tahá, ka naʻá Ne tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé.)
Fakatefito ʻi he talaʻofa ʻa e FakamoʻuÍ ki Heʻene Kau ʻAposetoló ʻoku lekooti ʻi he veesi 17, ko e hā ha tāpuaki te tau maʻu ʻi heʻetau muimui ki Heʻene sīpingá ʻaki hono tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé? (ʻOku totonu ke ʻilo ʻe he kau akó ha tefitoʻi moʻoni hangē ko ʻení kae fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea pē ʻanautolu: Te tau fiefia ange ʻi heʻetau muimui ki he sīpinga ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻaki hono tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé.)
ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā te tau fiefia ange ai kapau te tau tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí?

Kole ki he kau akó ke fakakaukau ki ha taimi ne nau fiefia ange ai koeʻuhí naʻa nau muimui ki he sīpinga ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻaki hono tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Fakaafeʻi ha kau ako ʻe niʻihi ke vahevahe ʻenau ngaahi aʻusiá mo e kalasí. Mahalo te ke fie vahevahe haʻo aʻusia pē ʻaʻau.

Ke tokoni ke ako ʻe he kau akó ha founga ʻe taha te nau lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ai e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení, fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e lea ko ʻeni ʻa ʻEletā M. Lāsolo Pālati ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá:

Sione 13:18–30

Ko hono ʻilo ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tokotaha te ne lavakiʻi Iá

Fakamatalaʻi fakanounou ʻa e Sione 13:18–30 ʻaki hono fakamatalaʻi ange ne hili hono akoʻi e Sīsū ʻEne kau ʻAposetoló te nau fiefia ʻo ka nau ka tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé, naʻá Ne pehē ange ʻe ʻi ai ha taha ʻo kinautolu te ne lavakiʻi Ia. ʻI hono ʻeke ange ʻe Sione kia Sīsū pe ko hai te ne lavakiʻi Iá, naʻe fakahā ange ʻe Sīsū ʻe lavakiʻi Ia ʻe ha taha ʻo ʻEne kau ʻAposetoló (Siutasi).

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi e Sione 13:34–35. Kole ki he kalasí ke muimui ki ai, ʻo kumi e meʻa naʻe pehē ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻe tokoni ke ʻiloʻi ʻe he niʻihi kehé ko e kau ʻAposetoló ko ha kau ākonga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi.

Ko e hā ha tefitoʻi moʻoni te tau lava ʻo ako mei he ngaahi akonaki ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ki Heʻene kau ʻAposetoló? (ʻI hono fakaʻaongaʻi pē ʻenau leá, ʻoku totonu ke ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau akó ha tefitoʻi moʻoni tatau mo ʻení: ʻI heʻetau feʻofaʻaki ʻo hangē ko e ʻofa ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻiate kitautolú, ʻe ʻilo ʻe he niʻihi kehé ko ʻEne kau ākonga ʻa kitautolu.)
