ʻE Lava ke Fakamoʻui Au ʻi he Ako ke Tui ki he Fakamoʻuí
Naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ʻe lava ke fakamoʻui ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē, ka naʻe faingataʻa ange ʻi he meʻa ne u ʻamanaki ki aí ʻa ʻeku maʻu Hono mālohi faifakamoʻuí ʻi he taimi naʻá ku fuʻu fiemaʻu aí.
Lolotonga ha konga pau ʻo ʻeku ngāue fakafaifekaú, ne u fefaʻuhi mo ha palopalema ne u tui naʻe ʻikai ha founga ke fakaleleiʻi ʻaki. ʻI heʻeku fiu he ʻikai ha talí pea mo e loto-foʻí, naʻá ku talaange ki haku kaungāmeʻa ofi ʻa e meʻa ne hokó. ʻI heʻene tuku mai ke u fakahaaʻi ʻeku ngaahi ongó, naʻe tali mai pē ʻe he kaungāmeʻa ko ʻení—ʻa ia naʻá ne ofi maʻu pē ki he Laumālié,—“Kuó ke ʻosi feinga nai ke lotua ia?”
Naʻe meimei ʻio ʻa e talí. ʻIo, ne u ʻosi feinga ke lotua ia kimuʻa. Ka naʻe ʻikai fai ʻaki hoku lotó kotoa. Ne teʻeki ai ke u lotu ʻi he tui ʻe lava ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa e kafo kotoa pē. Ko ha moʻoni ia naʻá ku tui ki ai ki he niʻihi kehé kae ʻikai maʻaku.
ʻI heʻeku hoko ko ha faifekaú, naʻá ku akoʻi maʻu pē ki he kakaí te nau lava ʻo maʻu ʻa e fakamoʻuí ʻia Kalaisi. Ka neongo pe ko e hā ʻa e lahi ʻeku feinga ke fakalotoʻi au naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi foki Hono mālohi faifakamoʻuí kiate aú, naʻe ʻikai pē ke u tui kakato ki ai.
Naʻá ku ongoʻi lōmekina ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi faingataʻa ne u fehangahangai mo iá. Naʻe hangē ne ʻikai ola lelei ʻa e ngaahi meʻa angamaheni ne u faʻa fai ke fakafiemālieʻi ai aú. Naʻá ku fiemaʻu ha meʻa lahi ange—naʻá ku fiemaʻu ha Fakamoʻui te Ne lava ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa e kafo kotoa pē. Naʻá ku lotu fakamātoato ange ʻo lahi ange ʻi ha toe taimi kimuʻa, pea ko e fuofua taimi ʻeni naʻá ku kole ai ki he ʻOtuá ke tokoniʻi au ke u tui ki he mālohi faifakamoʻui ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.
ʻI heʻeku ako ʻa e Fakalelei ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mo fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi hoku mālohi ke tuí, naʻe kamata ke liliu ʻeku fakakaukaú. Naʻá ku “fonu ʻi he fiefia, nonga, mo e fiemālie,”1 peá u ako ai ʻiate au pē “ʻe lava ke fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku taʻefakafiemālie ʻi he moʻui ní, ʻo fakafou ʻi he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.”2
Naʻe hoko nai hoku fakamoʻuí ʻi ha mana fakatuʻasino hangē ko ia ʻoku tau fanongo ki ai ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú? Naʻe ʻi ai nai ha ngaahi mana taʻe lava ke fakamatalaʻi hangē ko e liliu ʻa e vaí ki he uainé pe ko ha tangata naʻe fokotuʻu mei he maté?
ʻIkai.
Ka naʻe fakafou mai ʻa e mālohi faifakamoʻui naʻá ku fakamoʻoniʻi ʻi heʻeku moʻuí ʻi he fiemālie mo e nonga ne u maʻu fakaʻahó. Naʻe hoko mai ia ʻi he fakatuʻamelie taʻe-mafakamatalaʻi naʻá ku ongoʻi moʻoni ʻi hoku lotó. Naʻe ʻomi ʻe he ngaahi meʻa ko iá kiate au ʻa e mālohi naʻe fiemaʻu ke u kātaki ai ʻi ha toe ʻaho ʻe taha, ha toe uike ʻe taha, pea toe māhina ʻe taha, mo ha fofonga malimali ʻi he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa.
Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe ʻikai ke u fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngāue ʻa e mālohi faifakamoʻui ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻi heʻeku moʻuí kae ʻoua kuo ʻosi atu ha taimi pea naʻe faingofua ange ke u kātakiʻi hoku faingataʻaʻiá. ʻI heʻeku fakalaulauloto ki he meʻa ne u ongoʻi ʻi he ngaahi māhina kimuʻá, kimuʻa peá u fekumi ki he tokoni ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, naʻá ku fakatokangaʻi kuó u aʻusia ha mana. Naʻe lava ke mahino lelei kiate au naʻe ʻikai ha founga te u lava ai ʻo ikunaʻi ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa naʻá ku aʻusiá taʻe kau ai ha Fakamoʻui ʻofa ʻokú Ne mafao mai Hono toʻukupu ʻaloʻofa mo faifakamoʻuí kiate au.
ʻOku ou tui ko hono moʻoní ʻoku faʻa fakahaaʻi ʻa e mālohi faifakamoʻui ʻo Kalaisí ʻi he fanga kiʻi mana iiki ʻoku hoko fakaʻahó, ka naʻe ʻikai ke u maʻu kotoa ʻa e foʻi moʻoni ko iá. ʻIo, ʻoku tau fanongo ki he ngaahi mana lalahi mo moʻoni ʻi he Tohi Tapú mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ka ʻoku ou saiʻia ke fakakaukau ko e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi mana mahuʻinga taha naʻe hoko ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻi māmani ai ʻa Kalaisí, mahalo naʻe fakahaaʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi ngāue angaʻofa faingofua mo ʻikai-ke-tohi ʻoku ou tui naʻá Ne fai fakaʻahó.
Tatau ai pē pe naʻe fai ia ʻi Haʻane fepōtalanoaʻaki mo ha taha naʻá ne fou atu ʻi he halá ʻo nau ongoʻi ai ha ʻamanaki lelei pe ʻi ha kiʻi malimali faingofua pē naʻá Ne foaki ki ha taha naʻe kapusi mei he sōsaietí, ʻoku ou tui pau, hangē ko aú, naʻá Ne faʻa fakamoʻui ʻa e kakaí ni ʻi ha fanga kiʻi founga iiki mo maʻongoʻonga fakatouʻosi.
ʻE lava ʻe Kalaisi ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa e ngaahi kafo kotoa pē. Naʻá Ne foaki mai Hono toʻukupu faifakamoʻuí kiate au ʻi ha ngaahi founga naʻá ku meimei taʻe fakatokangaʻi pea ʻikai ke u ʻoange ha lāngilangi Maʻana. Pea ʻoku ou tui te Ne lava ʻo fai e meʻa tatau maʻatautolu kotoa. Hangē ko e akonaki ʻa Sisitā ʻEimi A. Ulaiti, ko e Tokoni ʻUluaki ʻi he Kau Palesitenisī Lahi ʻo e Palaimelí: “ʻOku tau maʻu kotoa ha meʻa ʻi heʻetau moʻuí kuo maumau pea ʻoku fiemaʻu ia ke monomono, fakaleleiʻi, pe fakamoʻui. ʻI heʻetau tafoki ki he Fakamoʻuí, pea tuku hotau lotó mo e ʻatamaí kiate Iá, ʻi heʻetau fakatomalá, ʻokú Ne hāʻele mai ki he feituʻu ʻoku tau ʻi aí ʻmo e fakamoʻuí ʻi Hono kapakaú’ [2 Nīfai 25:13].”3
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke ke tui ʻe lava ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo fakamoʻui koe, ʻoku ou poupou atu ke ke lotu ke maʻu ʻa e tui ke ke tui. Lotu ke fakaʻā ho matá ke ke sio ki he fanga kiʻi mana iiki ʻoku hoko koeʻuhí ko Ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. Fekumi Kiate Ia. ʻOku ou palōmesi atu ʻoku ʻikai ha loto-mamahi ia pe faingataʻa ʻe fuʻu lahi ke Ne fakamoʻui—ʻi Hono taimi pē ʻOʻona pea ʻi Heʻene founga pē ʻAʻana. ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ʻe taʻofi mei he ʻofa ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, pea ʻoku kau ai koe. Kapau te ke fakangofua Ia, te Ne tokoniʻi koe ke ke maʻu ha fakamoʻui mei ho ngaahi kafó ʻi Hono hala haohaoá. Kuó Ne fakahoko ia maʻaku.
