Ngaahi Tefitoʻi Moʻoni ʻe 3 ki Hono Langaki ʻo e Uouangatahá ʻi Ho Uōtí pe Koló
Naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ke tau taha, ka ʻoku anga fēfē hono fakahoko iá?
Kuó ke vakavakai takai holo nai ʻi ho uōtí pe koló ʻo fakatokangaʻi ha ngaahi talēniti, puipuituʻa, mo ha ngaahi meʻa fakamānako kehekehe? Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe D. Toti Kulisitofasoni ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻoku makehe ʻa e ngaahi haʻofanga lotu ʻi he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní koeʻuhí ko hono vahevahe ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻunga fakasiokālafí. Naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku ʻikai ke tau fili ha haʻofanga ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he tokotaha ʻoku tau saiʻia pe fie feohi mo iá. ʻOku fili ʻa e ngaahi uōtí maʻatautolu … , pea ʻoku tau ako ke nofo fakataha, tokoni, mo ʻofa ʻi he kakai ʻoku kehe honau puipuituʻá, meʻa ʻoku nau saiʻia aí, mo e ngaahi fakakaukaú.” ʻOku faʻa ngaohi ʻe he ngaahi faikehekehe ko ʻení ke tau mālohi ange.
Naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ke tau “taha” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 38:27), neongo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻetau ngaahi faikehekehe. ʻOku anga fēfē ʻa e hoko ʻo “taha” ʻi hotau ngaahi uōtí mo e koló? Ko ha ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻeni ʻe tolu te ne tokoni ke tau ngāue ki ha uouangataha ʻoku lahi angé.
Hoko ʻo Taha mo Kalaisi ʻo fakafou ʻi he Ngaahi Fuakavá
Hili ʻa e hā ʻa e Fakamoʻui kuo toetuʻú ki he kau Nīfaí, naʻa nau nofo melino mo uouangataha ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 200. Naʻe ʻikai ha hia, naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kakaí ha ngaahi mana, pea “ʻoku ʻikai lava ke ʻi ai ha kakai ʻe lahi hake ʻenau fiefiá” (4 Nīfai 1:16). ʻE anga fēfē hano aʻusia ʻe ha taha ha faʻahinga sōsaieti nofo fekoekoeʻi pehē? ʻOku pehē ʻe he folofolá “naʻe ʻikai ha fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he fonuá, koeʻuhi ko e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa ia naʻe ʻi he loto ʻo e kakaí” (4 Nīfai 1:15).
Kapau ʻokú ke fāifeinga ke uouangataha ange mo kinautolu ʻoku mou feohí, te ke lava ʻo kamata ʻaki hano vakaiʻi ho vā fetuʻutaki mo e ʻOtuá. Naʻe akonaki ʻa ʻEletā Kuenitini L. Kuki ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē: “ʻOku fakatahaʻi kitautolu ʻe heʻetau ʻofa mo e tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí mo ʻetau hoko ko e fānau ʻa ha Tamai Hēvani ʻofa. Ko e uho ʻo e kau moʻoni maí, ko e taha mo Kalaisi.”
ʻOku fēfē ʻa e lava ke tau taha mo e ʻOtuá? Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEletā Tēvita A. Petinā ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, “Kuo fakafehokotaki kitautolu pea tau taha mo e Fakamoʻuí pea tau maʻu ʻi heʻetau feʻunga mo tāú ʻa e ngaahi ouaú mo fai ha ngaahi fuakava, manatu faivelenga mo fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ‘a e ngaahi tukupā toputapu ko iá, pea fai hotau lelei tahá ke moʻui ‘o fakatatau mo e ngaahi fatongia ko ia kuo tau talí.” Ko hono fakahoko mo tauhi ʻo e ngaahi fuakavá ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi fuofua sitepu ke tau hoko ai ʻo taha mo e ʻOtuá mo hotau kaungāʻapí.
Nofo Taha ʻi he Ngaahi Tuʻunga ʻOku Taʻengatá
ʻI he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi kulupu kakai kehekehe naʻe fakafaikehekeheʻi ʻaki ha ngaahi hingoa kehekehe, ʻo kau ai ʻa e kau Nīfaí, kau Leimaná, kau Sōlamí, kau ʻIsimeʻelí, kau ʻĀmoní, mo ha kakai kehe. Ka neongo ia, hili ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e Fakamoʻui kuo toetuʻú ki he kakaí, naʻe ʻikai ha “faʻahinga kakai kehe ʻe taha; ka naʻa nau taha pē, ko e fānau ʻa Kalaisi” (4 Nīfai 1:17).
ʻOku totonu ke tau tokanga ke ʻoua naʻa tau fokotuʻu ha ngaahi hingoa pe ʻā vahevahe ʻiate kitautolu. Naʻe faleʻi mai ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ke ʻoua naʻa ngalo ʻiate kitautolu hotau tuʻunga mahuʻinga tahá: “ʻOku ʻikai ke u pehē ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻinga e ngaahi meʻa mo e ngaahi meʻa kehe ʻoku ʻiloʻi ai kitautolú. Ko ʻeku ʻuhingá ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke hanga ʻe ha faʻahinga meʻa ʻoku ʻiloʻi ʻaki kimoutolu ʻo toʻo, fetongi, pe fakamuʻomuʻa ia ʻi he tuʻunga tuʻuloa ʻe tolu ko ʻení: ‘fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá,’ ‘fānau ʻo e fuakavá,’ mo e ‘ākonga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.’”
Naʻe tā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e sīpinga ʻo e sio ʻo ope atu mei he ngaahi hingoa pe founga naʻe fakamāvahevaheʻi ai ʻa e kakaí ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi ʻilo fakaʻatamaí ʻi he taimi naʻá Ne akoʻi ai ʻa e fefine Samēliá ʻi he vaitupú. Naʻá Ne fakamoʻoniʻi kiate ia [fefiné] ʻa Hono faka-ʻOtuá, pea naʻá ne [fefiné] lava ʻo akoʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé fekauʻaki mo Ia (vakai, Sione 4:9–29). ʻI heʻetau feinga ke vakai kiate kitautolu mo hotau kaungāʻapí ko ha fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá, ko ha konga pē ʻo ha fāmili tatau, ʻe fetongi leva ʻa e faikehekehé ʻe he ʻofá mo e uouangatahá.
Tali Ho Fatongia Makehé
ʻE lava ʻe hono fakafehoanaki kitautolu ki he niʻihi kehé ʻo taʻofi ʻetau taha mo kinautolú. Ko e ongoongo fakafiefia kiate kitautolú kotoa ko e hanga ko ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga talēniti mo e ʻulungaanga kotoa pē ke langa hake ʻaki Hono puleʻangá.
ʻI he taimi naʻe tohi ai ʻa Paula ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Kolinitoó, naʻá ne fakatatau ʻa e Siasi ʻo Kalaisí ki ha sino (vakai, 1 Kolinitō 12:12–17). Naʻá ne talaange ʻoku fai ʻe he konga takitaha ʻo e sinó ha ngāue mahuʻinga ki he sinó ke lava ʻo ngāue lelei, neongo ʻoku makehe ʻa e konga takitaha. Naʻá ne ʻeke ange, “Ka ne ko e matá ʻa e sinó kotoa, pea ʻe ʻifē ʻa e fanongó?” (1 Kolinitō 12:17).
Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku tau takitaha maʻu ha fatongia mahuʻinga ke fakahoko—ko ha fatongia ʻe ngalingali ʻe kehe mei hotau kaungāʻapí’. Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Tieta F. ʻUkitofa ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá: “Mahalo te ke ongoʻi ʻoku ʻi ai ha niʻihi ia te nau mei malava ange ʻe kinautolu ʻo fakahoko pea nau taukei ange ke fua ho ngaahi fatongiá, ʻo lelei ange ia ʻiate koe, ka naʻe ʻi ai hono ʻuhinga naʻe ʻoatu ai ʻe he ʻEikí ho ngaahi fatongiá. Mahalo ʻoku ʻi ai ha kakai mo ha ngaahi loto, ko koe toko taha pē te ke lava ʻo tokoniʻi mo tākiekiná. ʻI heʻetau tali lelei mo fakahoko hotau ngaahi fatongia makehé, ʻe lava ke fāitaha hotau ngaahi uōtí, koló, mo e ngaahi fāmilí pea ngāue ʻo hangē ha sino moʻui leleí.
Ko ha Kakai Loto-Taha
Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Kēliti W. Kongo ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻo pehē: “E lava ke hoko ʻa e Siasi ʻo e ʻEikí kuo fakafoki maí ko ha fakailiʻanga ki ha kakai Loto-Taha. ʻI heʻetau lotu, tokoni, fiefia, mo ʻiloʻi fakataha ʻa ʻEne ʻofá, ʻoku tau fefakamālohiaʻaki ai ʻi Heʻene ongoongoleleí.” ʻE tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi hoʻo feinga ke tauhi ʻEne ngaahi fekaú pea hoko ʻo taha mo Iá—pea mahalo te ke ʻilo ʻoku lahi ange ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke faitatau ai mo e kāingalotu ho uōtí mo e koló ʻi he meʻa ʻokú ke fakakaukau ki aí!
