Fefuaʻaki ʻEtau Ngaahi Kavengá: Ko e Ngaahi Tāpuaki ʻo Hotau Haʻofanga Faka-Siasí

ʻOku nofo ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne faʻú ʻi Silei.

ʻI he mālōlō ʻeku kui fefiné, naʻá ku fifili pe te u maʻu fēfē ʻa e nongá. Naʻe maʻu ʻa e nongá mei hoku uōtí.

ko ha fefine ʻoku tangutu ʻo malimali ʻi he Fineʻofá

ʻI heʻeku tupu haké, naʻe ngali faingofua pē hono moʻui ʻaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Naʻá ku falala ki heʻeku ongomātuʻá mo e kau takí, pea naʻa nau tataki mo tokoniʻi au ke u fai ha ngaahi fili ʻoku leleí.

Ka ʻi heʻeku tupu hake ʻo fuʻu lahí, naʻá ku ʻiloʻi te tau lava ʻo faʻa fehangahangai mo e ngaahi faingataʻa mo e ngaahi pole ʻi he moʻuí te ne siviʻi ʻetau tuí.

ʻI he taimi naʻe mālōlō fakafokifā ai ʻeku kui fefiné, naʻá ku fehangahangai mo hoku fāmilí ʻi he taha ʻo e ngaahi taimi faingataʻa ko ʻení. Naʻá ne ʻai ke u fifili mo fehuʻia, “Kapau ʻoku angalelei ʻa e ʻOtuá, ko e hā ʻokú Ne toʻo ai ha tokotaha lelei mei heʻemau moʻuí?”

Naʻe hoko ʻeku kui fefiné ko homau mālohinga mo e tokoni. Naʻá ne angaʻofa, tokanga, mo manavaʻofa—ko ha faʻē ki he taha kotoa pē. Naʻá ne talitali lelei ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ki homau ʻapí. Naʻa mau maʻu meʻatokoni efiafi mo e fānau ʻi homau feituʻú naʻe vaʻinga ʻi he halá ʻi homau ʻapí koeʻuhí he naʻá ne ʻosi ʻai ha peleti meʻakai maʻá e tokotaha kotoa pē.

Ko ia ʻi he taimi naʻá ne mālōlō aí, naʻá ku fefaʻuhi mo ʻeku tuí.

ʻI he uhouhonga ʻo ʻeku fuʻu loto-mamahí, naʻá ku kei lotu pē ʻi he ʻaho kotoa, neongo naʻe ʻikai ke u ʻamanaki ʻe maʻu ʻa e talí mei he ongoongoleleí pe ʻi he ʻOtuá. ʻI he kamakamata maí, naʻe hokohoko ʻeku ngaahi lotú. Naʻá ku kole pē ʻa e ngaahi meʻa tatau. Naʻá ku houngaʻia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa tatau.

Ka ʻi he fakalau atu ʻa e taimí, naʻe ʻi ai ha fehuʻi ʻe taha ʻi hoku lotó naʻe faifai peá u fehuʻi ki he Tamai Hēvaní:

“Te u maʻu fēfē nai ʻa e nongá?”

Ko Hono Maʻu ha Fakakaukau ʻOku Taʻengatá

Ko e tali ki he lotu fakamātoato ko iá ko ha kaungāmeʻa.

Fakamālō kiate ia, naʻe kamata ke u toe maʻulotu. Naʻá ne fakaafeʻi au ke ma ō, pea naʻá ku loto ke ma ō, koeʻuhí pē he ko hoku kaungāmeʻa ia. Naʻe ʻikai ke u fuʻu tokanga ke kau atu.

Ka naʻe faifai pē, ʻeku ʻalu ki he lotú, naʻe kamata ke mahino mo u tali ʻa e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻo e ongoongoleí. Naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻi ai ha palani ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní maʻatautolu hono kotoa. Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻo pehē:

“ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he fakakaukau taʻengatá ha nonga ‘ʻoku lahi hake ʻaupito ʻi he faʻa ʻiloá.’ (Filipai 4:7.) …

“ʻOku ʻikai kamata e moʻuí ʻi he fāʻeleʻí, pe ʻe ngata ʻi he maté.”

Neongo ʻeku kei tengihia ʻeku kui fefiné, ka ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ha nonga mo ha fakapapau te mau toe fakataha ʻi ha ʻaho.

Naʻá ku toe ʻilo foki ʻoku fiemaʻu maʻu pē ke u feinga ʻi he ʻaho kotoa ke manatuʻi ʻeku fuakava ʻi he papitaisó pea fakafanongo ki he leʻo tataki ʻo e Laumālié. Naʻe kamata ke u fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e meʻa foaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻi heʻeku moʻuí. ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi ʻokú Ne ʻiate au maʻu ai pē, ʻi he faingataʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ou fehangahangai mo iá.

Tangi Fakataha mo Kinautolu ʻOku Tangí

ʻOku ou houngaʻia ʻaupito ʻi ha kaungāmeʻa naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi ʻeku mavahe mei he ongoongoleleí pea tokoniʻi au. ʻI he hokohoko atu ʻeku maʻulotú, ʻinisititiutí, mo e ngaahi ʻekitivitī kehe ʻa e kakai lalahi kei talavoú, naʻá ku toe vāofi ange ai mo ha kakai lalahi kei talavou ʻi hoku feituʻú ʻa ia naʻa nau feinga kotoa ke feʻofaʻaki mo moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.

Naʻe akoʻi foki ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻo pehē:

“ʻOku kumi maʻu pē [ʻa e] Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, hangē ko e kau muimui kehe ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ha ngaahi founga ke tokoni ai, hiki hake, pea mo ʻofa ʻi he niʻihi kehé. Ko kinautolu ʻoku loto ke ui ko e kakai ʻa e ʻEikí ʻoku ‘[nau] loto ke fefuaʻaki [ʻenau] ngaahi kavengá, … ke tangi fakataha mo kinautolu ʻoku tangí; … pea [ke] fakafiemālieʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku ʻaonga ki ai ʻa e fakafiemālié’ [Mosaia 18:8–9].

ʻOku nau fekumi moʻoni ke moʻui ʻaki ʻa e fekau lahi ʻuluakí mo hono uá. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau ʻofa ai ki he ʻOtuá ʻaki [hotau lotó kotoa], ʻokú Ne fakatafoki hotau lotó ki he lelei ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻi ha founga fakaʻofoʻofa mo maʻa.”

Ko hono tokoniʻi au ʻi hono fuesia ʻeku ngaahi kavengá, ko e meʻa tofu pē ia naʻe fai ʻe hoku kaungā ākonga ʻi hoku uōtí pea ko e meʻa ia ʻoku nau fakahoko maʻu pē maʻá e niʻihi kehé. ʻOku ou ʻofa moʻoni ʻiate kinautolu ʻi hoku uōtí! ʻOku mau faʻa fakataha ki ha ngaahi ʻekitivitī fakasōsiale, ʻoku mau fepoupouʻaki, pea ʻoku mau fetokoniʻaki. ʻI he taimi ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ʻe ha taha ha ngāué, ʻoku mau fetokoniʻaki ke kumi ha ngaahi faingamālie. ʻI he taimi ʻoku ʻaʻahi mai ai ʻa e kakai foʻoú ki heʻemau ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻo e Sāpaté, ʻoku mau talitali lelei kinautolu mo feinga ke ʻai ke nau ongoʻi ʻoku nau kau mai.

Kuo tokoniʻi au ʻe ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa lelei ke u tupulaki ʻo mālohi ʻi he ongoongoleleí, pea ʻoku mau mālohi fakataha ʻi hono matuʻuaki ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa mo e ʻahiʻahi ʻo e moʻuí.

Hoko ko ha Kaungāmeʻa ki he Niʻihi Kehé

Pea hangē pē ko hono tokoniʻi au ʻe he ngaahi kaungāmeʻa leleí ʻi he taimi naʻá ku fiemaʻu lahi taha aí, ʻoku ou maʻu ʻi he taimí ni ʻa e faingamālie ke hoko ko ha kaungāmeʻa pehē ki he niʻihi kehé. ʻI he taimi naʻá ku fakatokangaʻi ai ha kakai ʻoku faingataʻaʻia pe kuo nau mavahe mei he Siasí, ʻoku ou fai ʻa e meʻa te u lavá ke tokoniʻi mo fakaafeʻi kinautolu—ʻo fakamanatu ange ʻoku ʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ʻiate kinautolu pea ʻokú Ne tatali mai ke nau foki ki he hala ʻo e fuakavá.

ʻOku ou ʻilo naʻe ʻikai ke u mei ʻi he tuʻunga ʻoku ou ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ní kapau naʻe ʻikai ke kau ai hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa lelei mo e kāingalotu ʻo e uōtí naʻa nau tokoniʻi au ke u maʻu ʻa e loto-toʻa ke faivelenga ʻi he taimi naʻá ku fuʻu ongoʻi loto-mamahi aí.

Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi tāpuaki fakaofo ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi heʻetau hoko ko ha kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí, ko hono maʻu ʻo ha kau ākonga ʻi ha kakai ʻoku fakakaukau tatau mo loto-ʻofa. ʻOku ʻikai mo ha toe meʻa ʻe fakaivia lahi ange ka ko e moihū, ʻofa, mo hono hiki hake ʻa kinautolu ʻoku fāifeinga ke hangē ko e Fakamoʻuí.

Kapau ʻokú ke fehangahangai mo ha pole matuʻaki faingataʻa, manatuʻi ʻoku ʻikai ke ke tuenoa. ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa, kau tangata mo ha kau fafine ngāue fakaetauhi, mo ha kau taki ʻofa ʻi homou uōtí, koló, mo e siteikí te nau lava ʻo tokoni mo fakamālohia kimoutolu. Pea te ke toe lava foki ʻo hoko ko ha mālohinga kiate kinautolu.
