Ngaahi Fakaʻikaiʻi ʻi he Lotoʻaá

ʻI HE hili hono liʻaki ʻo Sīsū ʻi he ngoue ko Ketisemaní pea hola ʻi he manavahē fakataha mo e toenga ʻo e kau ʻaposetoló, naʻe tuʻu ʻa Pita mo Sione mei heʻenau feholakí. Mahalo naʻá na aʻu atu ʻo feʻunga mo hono ʻave ʻo Sīsū ki he ʻapi ʻo ʻAnasí. ʻI hono fekau ʻe ʻAnasi ke ʻave ia ki he Taulaʻeiki Lahi ko Kaiafasí, naʻe muimui mamaʻo atu pē ʻa Pita mo Sione, pea ʻoku hā ngalingali naʻá na ongoʻi taʻepau koeʻuhi ko e manavahē telia ʻena moʻuí pea mo ʻena tokanga lahi pe ko e hā ʻe hoko ki honau ʻEikí.

ʻI he aʻu ki he fuʻu nofoʻanga ʻo Kaiafasí, naʻe malava ʻa Sione ia ke hū ki he lotoʻaá, koeʻuhi he ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahí. Kae kehe, naʻe tuʻu pē ʻa Pita ʻi tuʻa ʻi he matapaá. Ka naʻe foki mai ʻa Sione ʻo lea ki he leʻo matapaá, ko ha kaunanga, pea naʻe fakangofua ʻa Pita ke hū ange ki loto.

Kuo kamata ke momoko mai, pea ko e kau fakanofonofo ʻi he falé pea mo e kau ʻōfisa ʻa e taulaʻeiki lahí naʻa nau tafu ha afi ʻaki ʻa e malala. Naʻe kau ʻa Pita mo kinautolu ʻi he fakamāfana pea mo talitali pe ʻe iku ki he hā ʻa e hopo ʻa Sīsuú. ʻI ai, ʻi he maama ʻo e afí, naʻe sio lelei atu kia Pita ʻa e leʻo matapā ʻa ia naʻá ne fakahū mai iá. “Ko koe foki naʻá ke ʻia Sīsū mei Kālelí!” ko ʻene kalangá atu ia.

ʻI heʻene loto-mamahi ʻi hono ʻiloʻi iá, naʻe fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe Pita ʻi honau ʻaó ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ʻe ia ʻa Sīsū. “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai mahino kiate au pe ko hoʻo laú ki he hā,” ko ʻene leá ia.

ʻI he hili ʻa e meʻa ko iá, naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Pita ʻo ofi ki he hūʻangá. Naʻe fakatokangaʻi ai ia ʻe ha taʻahine ʻe taha peá ne toe pehē ki he faʻahinga naʻe tuʻu aí: “Ko e sianá ni foki naʻe ʻia Sīsū mei Nasaletí.” Naʻe toe fakaʻikaiʻi ia ʻe Pita, ʻo ne fakapapauʻi: “ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻa e tangatá!”

Naʻe kei nofo pē ʻa Pita ʻi he lotoʻaá, ʻo ne feinga lahi ʻaupito ke ʻoua ʻe fuʻu ʻiloʻi ia. ʻI he taimi nai ko iá naʻe fakaʻohovaleʻi ia ʻe ha ʻuʻua ʻa ha moa ʻi he fakapoʻuli ʻo e hengihengí. Lolotonga iá, naʻe hoko atu hono fai ʻa e hopo ʻa Sīsuú, pea ʻoku hā mahino naʻe fai ia ʻi he loki ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he lotoʻaá. Naʻe talitali ʻa Pita mo e niʻihi kehé ʻi lalo ʻo sio nai ki he ʻalu atu mo e haʻu ʻa e kau fakamoʻoni kehekehe ʻoku ʻomai ke nau faifakamoʻoní.

ʻOku fakafuofua naʻe ʻosi ha houa nai ʻe taha talu mei hono fakahā fakamuimui ʻo pehē naʻe kau ʻa Pita mo Sīsuú. Pea naʻe toki haʻu ha niʻihi ʻo nau tuʻu takatakai kiate ia mo nau pehē: “ʻA, ʻoku moʻoni pē ʻokú ke kau koe foki ki he faʻahinga ko iá, kaeʻumaʻā ʻokú ke ʻilonga mei hoʻo fasí.” Ko e taha ʻi he faʻahingá ni ko ha kāinga ia ʻo Malekusi, ʻa ia naʻe tuʻusi ʻe Pita ʻa hono telingá. “ʻIkai naʻá ku mātuʻaki sio kiate koe ʻi he ngoue tapú fakataha mo ia?” ko ʻene leá ia.

“ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ʻa e tangatá!” ko e fakamatematē ange ia ʻa Pitá. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻá ne feinga ke fakalotoʻi kinautolu ke nau tui ʻoku nau maʻuhala kinautolu kotoa, ʻaki ʻene tuki mo fuakava fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni, ko hono moʻoní, naʻá ne fai ʻa e talatuki ʻe ia kiate ia pē ʻo ka ʻikai te ne tala ʻa e moʻoní.

ʻI hono toki fai ʻe Pita ʻa e fakaʻikaiʻi hono tolú, naʻe ʻuʻua ai ʻa e moá. Pea ʻi he mōmeniti ko iá, ʻoku hā mahino naʻe hū mai ki tuʻa ʻa Sīsū ʻi he falefakatolo ʻi ʻolunga ʻo e lotoʻaá, peá ne sio hifo kiate ia. Naʻe manatuʻi leva ʻe Pita ʻa e meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻi ha ngaahi houa siʻi ki muʻa atu ʻi he loki ʻi ʻolungá: “ʻI he teʻeki ke ʻuʻua tuʻo ua ʻa e moá, te ke fakafisingaʻi au ʻo tuʻo tolu mālō.” ʻI he ongoʻi mafasia ʻi heʻene angahalá, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Pita ki tuʻa ʻo tangi mamahi.

Naʻe malava fēfē ke hoko ʻa e meʻá ni? ʻI he hili ʻene fakapapauʻi ʻa ʻene mālohi fakalaumālié, naʻe malava fēfē ʻe Pita ke fakaʻikaiʻi hono ʻEikí ʻo tuʻo tolu hokohoko vave pehē? ʻOku ʻikai toe ʻi ai ha veiveiua naʻe fakaʻohovaleʻi ʻe he ngaahi tuʻunga ko ʻení ʻa Pita. Naʻe mioʻi ʻa e moʻoní, pea naʻe fakahāhaaʻi ko e tokotaha faihia fakalielia ʻa Sīsū. Ko e meʻa naʻe totonú naʻe ʻai ke hā ʻoku hala, pea ko e tokotaha tonuhiá naʻe ʻai ke hā ʻoku halaia. Ko ia koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi mafasia ʻo e taimi ko iá, naʻe ʻikai ke kei tonu ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa Pitá. Naʻe fakafokifā pē hono uesia ʻene mateaki totonú; naʻá ne mamahi ʻi heʻene mate ilifia ki he tangatá. ʻOfa ke ʻoua ʻe teitei hoko ʻa e meʻa ko iá kiate kitautolu!
