“ʻOku mau fakahā ʻa e fakalangi ʻo Kalaisí. ʻOku mau hanga kiate Ia ko e maʻuʻanga tokoni pē taha homau fakamoʻuí.”
Mei he Moʻui ʻa ʻEselā Tafu Penisoní
Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni ʻEselā Tafu Penisoni, “ʻOku ʻikai ke u lava au ʻo manatuʻi ha taimi naʻe ʻikai ke u tui ai kia Sīsū Kalaisi. “ʻOku hangē ne hoko maʻu pē hono moʻoni ʻo ʻEne moʻuí, pekiá, mo e toe tuʻú ko haku kongá. Naʻe ohi hake au ʻi ha ʻapi ʻe ha ongomātuʻa naʻá na tui moʻoni pea mo fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa Kalaisi, pea ʻoku ou houngaʻia ʻaupito ai.”1
Naʻe hoko e fakamoʻoni ko ʻeni kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ko e fakavaʻe ʻo e moʻui ʻa Palesiteni Penisoní. Naʻá ne puleʻi e ngaahi meʻa naʻe mahuʻingaʻia aí, tataki ʻene ngaahi filí, pea mo tokoniʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi faingataʻá. Naʻá ne ʻomi ha fakakaukau totonu ki he taumuʻa ʻo e moʻui fakamatelié mo ha loto-falala ki he ngaahi talaʻofa mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e moʻui taʻengatá.
Naʻe faʻa fakamoʻoni ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni ki he Fakamoʻuí ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻene ngāue fakaeʻaposetoló ko e fakamoʻoni makehe ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻI he mahino ʻoku “faʻa fai he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻa e fehuʻi, ʻKo e kau Kalisitiane koā ʻa e kau Māmongá?ʻ” naʻá ne fakamoʻoniʻi:
“ʻOku mau fakahaaʻi ʻa e fakalangi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOku mau hanga kiate Ia ko e maʻuʻanga tokoni pē taha homau fakamoʻuí. ʻOku mau feinga ke moʻui ʻaki ʻEne ngaahi akonakí, pea ʻoku mau nofo-ʻamanaki atu ki he taimi te Ne toe hāʻele mai ai ke pule ʻi he māmani ko ʻení ko e Tuʻi ʻo e Ngaahi Tuʻi mo e ʻEiki ʻo e Ngaahi ʻEikí… ʻOku tau pehē, ʻi he fakalea ʻa ha palōfita ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná … , ʻ[ʻOku] ʻikai tuku mai mo ha toe hingoa kehe pe hala pe founga ʻa ia ʻe lava ʻo hoko ai ʻa e fakamoʻuí ki he fānau ʻa e tangatá, kae fou pea ngata pē ʻi he huafa ʻo Kalaisí, ko e ʻEiki Māfimafíʻ (Mōsaia 3:17).”2
Naʻe faʻa fakafehokotaki ʻa e ngaahi fakahaaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Penisoni ʻa e fakalangi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.3 Naʻá ne pehē, “Kuo ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ha fakamoʻoni mahino maʻa hotau kuongá, ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí.”4 Naʻá ne akoʻi ko e “misiona mahuʻinga” ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ke fakalotoʻi ʻa e kakaí ki he moʻoni ko ʻení.5 Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku laka hake ʻi he vaeua ʻo e ngaahi veesi kotoa ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻoku fakamatala ki hotau ʻEikí. “ʻOku ui ʻaki Ia ha ngaahi huafa kehekehe ʻoku laka hake ʻi he teaú ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná. ʻOku ʻi ai ha mahuʻinga makehe ʻo e ngaahi huafa ko iá ʻi he fakamatalaʻi Hono natula fakalangí.”6

“ʻOku ou ʻofa kiate Ia ʻaki hoku laumālié kotoa.

Kuo pau ke tau manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni mahuʻinga ko ʻení, ka tau lava ʻo fakahoungaʻi mo fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e meʻa ne fakahoko ʻe [Sīsū Kalaisi] maʻa kitautolú:
Naʻe hāʻele mai ʻa Sīsū ki māmaní ke fai e finangalo ʻetau Tamaí.

Naʻá Ne lava ke fakakakato Hono misioná koeʻuhí he ko e ʻAlo Ia ʻo e ʻOtuá pea naʻá Ne maʻu e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá.
“Naʻá Ne loto fiemālie ke fakakakato Hono misioná koeʻuhí he ʻokú Ne ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu.

Ko Sīsū Kalaisi pē taha naʻá Ne lava mo loto fiemālie ke fakahoko ha faʻahinga ngāue huhuʻi ʻofa pehē.9
Naʻe hāʻele mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi … ki māmani ʻi ha taimi ne tomuʻa fokotuʻu, ʻi ha founga ʻaloʻi fakaʻeiʻeiki naʻá ne pukepuke Hono tuʻunga faka -ʻotuá. Naʻe fakatahaʻi ʻi Hono natulá ʻa e ngaahi natula fakaetangata ʻo ʻEne faʻē fakamatelié pea mo e ngaahi natula fakalangi mo e ngaahi mālohi ʻo ʻEne Tamai Taʻengatá.
Naʻe hanga ʻe Hono tukufakaholo makehé ʻo ʻai Ia ko e ʻea hoko ki he hingoa fakaʻapaʻapaʻi— Ko e ʻAlo Pē Taha ʻo e ʻOtuá Naʻe Fakatupu ʻi he Kakanó. Naʻá Ne maʻu ʻi Heʻene hoko ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa e ngaahi mālohi mo e poto kuo teʻeki ai ha tangata te ne maʻu kimuʻa pe kimui ai. Ko Ia moʻoni ʻa e ʻImānuelá, ʻa ia ko hono ʻuhingá ko e “ʻOtuá ʻiate kitautolu.” (Vakai, ʻIsaia 7:14; Mātiu 1:23.)
Neongo ko e ʻAlo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá ne fekauʻi mai ki he māmaní, ka naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he palani fakalangi ʻa e Tamaí ke moʻulaloa ʻa Sīsū ki he ngaahi faingataʻa mo e ngaahi palopalema kotoa pē ʻo e moʻui fakamatelié. Ko ia naʻá Ne moʻulaloa ai ki he “ngaahi ʻahiʻahí, … fiekaiá, fieinuá, mo e ongosiá.” (Mōsaia 3:7.)
Naʻe pau ke talangofua kakato ʻa Sīsū ki he ngaahi fono kotoa ʻa e ʻOtuá kae lava ʻo hoko ko e Huhuʻi ʻo e fānau kotoa ʻa ʻetau Tamaí. Naʻe tupulaki ia “mei he ʻaloʻofa ki he ʻaloʻofa, kae ʻoua kuó Ne maʻu ʻa e kakato” ʻo e mālohi ʻo e Tamaí, ʻi Heʻene fakamoʻulaloaʻi ʻe Ia ʻa Ia ki he finangalo ʻo e Tamaí. Ko ia naʻá Ne maʻu ai ʻa e “mālohi kotoa pē, ʻi he langí pea ʻi he māmaní.” (T&F 93:13, 17.)10
Koeʻuhí ko [Sīsū] ʻa e ʻOtuá —ʻa ia ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá—naʻá Ne lava leva ke fuesia ʻa e mamafa mo e mafatukituki ʻo e ngaahi angahala ʻa e tangatá ʻiate Ia. Naʻe kikiteʻi ʻe ʻIsaia e loto fiemālie ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke fakahoko ʻení, ʻaki e ngaahi lea ko ʻení: “Ko e moʻoni kuó ne toʻo kiate ia ʻa ʻetau ngaahi vaivaí, ʻo ne fua ʻetau ngaahi mamahí: … naʻe lavea ia koeʻuhí ko ʻetau ngaahi angahalá, naʻe fakavolu ia koeʻuhí ko ʻetau ngaahi hiá: naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa e tauteá koeʻuhí ke tau fiemālie; pea ʻi hono ngaahi taá ʻoku tau moʻui ai.” (ʻIsaia 53:4–5.)
Ko e Fakaleleí ʻa e ngāue māʻoniʻoni, taʻe-siokita ʻo e toʻo loto fiemālie kiate Ia ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo e tangatá.

Ka ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ʻeni: Naʻá Ne toʻo kiate Ia ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa e taha kotoa pē pea naʻá Ne fai ia tuʻunga ʻi Heʻene ʻofa taʻe fakangatangata kiate kitautolu takitaha. Kuó Ne folofola: “He vakai, ko au, ko e ʻOtuá, kuó u kātakiʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni maʻá e kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamahi ʻo kapau te nau fakatomala; … ʻa ia ko e mamahi naʻe langaki ai ʻa ʻeku tetetete ʻaʻakú, ʻa ia ko e ʻOtuá, ko e tokotaha ʻoku mālohi tahá, koeʻuhí ko e mamahí, pea mo e tafe ʻa e totó ʻi he ava kotoa ʻo hoku kilí, mo e mamahiʻia ʻi he sinó mo e laumālié fakatouʻosi—peá u loto ke ʻoua naʻá ku inu ʻi he ipu mahí, peá u holomui ai.” (T&F 19:16, 18.)
Neongo ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa taʻe-mafakatataua, naʻá Ne toʻo ʻa e ipú mo inu. Naʻá ne fuesia ʻa e ngaahi mamahi ʻo e kakai kotoa pē koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa tau mamahi. Naʻá Ne kātekina ʻa hono fakamoʻulaloaʻí mo e ngaahi lea fakamamahi ʻa Hono kau fakatangá ʻo ʻikai lāunga pe sāuni. Naʻá Ne kātekina ʻa hono kauʻimaeaʻí, hoko ai mo e fakamā siʻono fakapoongi fitaʻa— he kolosí.11
Naʻe fakahoko ʻe Sīsū ʻi Ketisemani pea mo Kalevale ʻa e fakalelei taʻe-fakangatangata mo taʻengatá. Naʻe hoko ia ko e foʻi ngāue maʻongoʻonga pē ʻe taha ʻo e ʻofá ʻi he hisitōlia kuo lekōtí. Pea toki hoko mai ʻEne pekiá mo e toetuʻú.
Ko ia, naʻá Ne hoko ai ko hotau Huhuʻi— ʻo huhuʻi kotoa kitautolu mei he mate fakaesinó, pea huhuʻi mo e niʻihi ʻo kitautolu mei he mate fakalaumālié ʻa ia ʻe talangofua ki he ngaahi fono mo e ngaahi ouau ʻo e ongoongoleleí.12
Mahalo he ʻikai toe mahino kiate kitautolu pe mahino ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié pe naʻe fēfē ʻEne fakahoko ʻa e meʻa naʻá Ne faí, ka kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻa taʻe-mahino kiate kitautolu ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻá Ne fakahoko ai ʻa e meʻa naʻá Ne faí.
