Mei he Moʻui ʻa Sipenisā W. Kimipoló

ʻI he 1974 naʻe maʻu ai ʻe ʻEletā Sipenisā W. Kimipolo ha tohi mei hono foha ko ʻAniteluú ʻa ia naʻe lolotonga ngāue fakafaifekau taimi kakato. Naʻe tohi mai ʻa ʻAnitelū ʻo pehē: “Ne u talaange ki ha tama. … naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ʻoku moʻoni ʻa e meʻa ne u talaange ki aí, peá u talaange kuo fakamoʻoniʻi ia ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní kiate au. … ʻI heʻeku toki fakakaukau hake ki ai ki mui angé, ne u kiʻi hohaʻa heʻeku fai peheé.” Tupu mei heʻene hohaʻa ko ʻení, naʻá ne pehē ai, “Kuó u fakamamaʻo mei hono fai ʻeku fakamoʻoní ki ha taha ʻo toe laka atu ʻi heʻeku pehē ange pē ‘ʻOku ou ongoʻi, ʻOku ou tui, mo e ngaahi lea pehē pē.’ ”

Naʻe tohi ʻa ʻEletā Kimipolo ki hono fohá. Naʻá ne pehē ai, “ ʻKuó u ʻiloʻi lelei ʻa e ongo ʻokú ke maʻú he ko e meʻa tatau pē naʻe hoko kiate au ʻi heʻeku ngāue fakafaifekaú.

Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa Sipenisā W. Kimipoló

ʻE lava ke tau taki taha maʻu ha fakamoʻoni—ʻa ia ko ha fakahā mei he Tamai Hēvaní ʻo fakafou mai ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

Naʻe fehuʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí kia Pita, “ ʻKa ʻoku pehē ʻe kimoutolu ko hai au?” Pea naʻe lea ʻa Pita maʻá hono kāinga ko e kau ʻAposetolo kehé ʻo pehē, “Ko koe ko e Kalaisí, ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtua moʻuí.” Ko ha folofola mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻaupito naʻe folofola ʻaki ʻe he ʻEikí hono hokó. Naʻá ne pehē, “Saimone Pasona, ʻokú ke monūʻia: he naʻe ʻikai fakahā ia kiate koe ʻe he kakanó mo e totó, ka ko ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langí” (Mātiu 16:13–17).

Ko hai naʻá ne fakahā ʻa e moʻoni fakaʻohovale ko ʻení kiate iá? Ko ʻetau Tamai ʻi Hēvaní. Naʻá Ne fakahoko fēfeeʻi ia? ʻI he fakahā. Naʻe ʻikai ke maʻu mei ha tangata pe mei ha tohi pe mei ha kolisi ʻa e ʻilo pau ko ʻeni ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí, ko e Huhuʻi mo Fakamoʻuí. Naʻe maʻu fakahangatonu pē ia ʻe Pita mei heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ʻi hono fakahā ange ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. …

… ʻE lava ke maʻu ʻe he tokotaha kotoa pē ʻi māmani ha fakahā, ʻa e fakahā tatau pē ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻe Pitá. ʻE hoko ʻa e fakahā ko iá ko ha fakamoʻoni, ko hano ʻiloʻi ʻoku moʻui ʻa Kalaisi, ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e Huhuʻi ʻo e māmaní. ʻE lava ke maʻu ʻe he tokotaha kotoa pē ʻa e ʻilo fakapapau ko ʻení, pea ko e taimi te ne maʻu ai ʻa e fakamoʻoni ko ʻení, ʻe maʻu ia mei he ʻOtuá kae ʻikai mei he akó ʻataʻatā pē. Ko e moʻoni ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻa e akó, ka kuo pau ke ō fakataha pē ʻa e akó, mo ha lotu lahi mo e ngāue, pea ʻe hoko mai leva ʻa e fakahā ko ʻení.

Ko e taimi ko ē ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi fakafoʻituitui ai naʻe ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he hoko ʻa Sīsū ko ha tokotaha poto maʻongoʻonga, ka ko e ʻAlo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea naʻe hāʻele mai ki māmani ʻi he founga ʻoku tau pehē naʻá Ne hāʻele mai aí, pea naʻe hāʻele atu mei māmani koe- ʻuhí ko e taumuʻa ʻoku tau pehē naʻá Ne hāʻele atu aí—ko e taimi ko ia ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi fakapapau ai ʻení, pea ke ʻiloʻi ko Siosefa Sāmitá ko ha palōfita ia ʻa e ʻOtuá pea ko e Siasi fakalangi ʻeni naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sīsū Kalaisí, ko hoʻo maʻu ia ha fakahaá.²

ʻOku ʻi ai ha kakai ʻoku nau pōlepole ʻi heʻenau ʻatamai potó, ʻo nau pehē ke nau lava ke ako ʻo ʻilo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai faʻa mahinó, ka he ʻikai te nau teitei lava ʻo fakaʻuhingaʻi pe fakamalataʻi pe mahino kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālié ʻi heʻenau fakaʻuhingá pe ʻi heʻenau ngaahi founga fakaʻatamaí.

Ko hono ʻiloʻi fakapapau ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí, ʻoku fakaiku ia ki hano maʻu ʻo ha ngaahi pale maʻongoʻonga mo ha fiefia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fakamatalaʻi. ʻOku hangē ʻa e taʻe fai ha tokanga ki he fakamoʻoní ko ha taufā kui ke ʻilo ho halá ʻi he fakapoʻulí pea ʻe lava ke hoko ai kiate koe ha ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku ʻikai te ke lava ke sio ki ai.

ʻOku maʻu pea tauhi ha fakamoʻoni ʻi he fāifeinga lahi ki aí.

Ko e fakamoʻoní ko ha fakahā fakatāutaha ia—ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻafoaki mahuʻingá—pea ʻe lava ke maʻu ia ʻe he tokotaha kotoa pē te ne ngāueʻi ke ne maʻu.⁵

Ko ha fehuʻi lelei kuo fai ʻe ha kakai ʻe toko lau miliona talu mei he taimi naʻe lea ʻaki ai ʻe Siosefa Sāmitá: Te u ʻilo fēfē pe ko e fē ʻi he ngaahi siasí kotoa ʻoku moʻoni, faka-ʻOtua mo tali ʻe he ʻEikí, ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha kautaha pehē?

Kuó Ne foaki mai ʻa e kií. ʻE lava ke ke ʻiloʻi ia. ʻOku ʻikai fie maʻu ke ke toe veiveiua. … Ko e founga pē ʻoku fie maʻú ko e: ako, fakakaukau, lotu, pea ngāue. Ko e kiʻí ʻa e fakahaá.

Naʻe folofola ʻa e Huhuʻí:

“Ko ʻeku akonakí ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻaku, ka ʻoku ʻaʻana naʻá ne fekau aú.

“Pea ko ia ia ʻe fai ki hono finangaló, te ne ʻilo ʻa e akonakí, pe ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtuá ia, pe ko ʻeku lea ʻiate au pē.” (Sione 7:16–17.)

ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā hono ʻiloʻi ʻo e tokāteliné? Ko hano ʻiloʻi fakapapau ia taʻe toe ʻi ai ha veiveiua. Kuo tuku mai ʻe he ʻEikí ha pale mahuʻinga ka ʻe toki maʻu pē ia ʻi hano fakahoko ʻo ha ngaahi meʻa pau ʻoku fiemaʻu. Ko e talaʻofa hení ko hono ʻiloʻi hono faka-ʻOtua ʻo e tokāteliné. Pea ko e fono pe meʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu hení ko e “fai Hono finangaló.”…
