“Taʻetokaʻi” pea Vakai ki Ai ʻOku “Taʻe Mahuʻinga”
3. Ko e hā ne totonu ai ke talitali lelei ʻe he kau Siú ʻa Sīsuú, ka naʻe anga-fēfē ʻenau fakafeangai kiate iá?
3 Lau ʻa e Aisea 53:3. Fakakaukau atu angé ki he ongoʻi kuo pau naʻe maʻu ʻe he ʻAlo tofu-pē-taha-ne-fakatupu ʻo e ʻOtuá ke ne liʻaki ʻa e fiefia ʻo e ngāue ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo ʻene Tamaí kae haʻu ki he māmaní ke foaki ʻene moʻuí ʻi he feilaulau ke fakahaofi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá mei he angahalá mo e maté! (Fili. 2:5-8) Ko ʻene feilaulaú naʻe pau ke fakahoko ai ʻa e fakamolemoleʻi moʻoni ʻo e angahalá, ʻa ia naʻe tomuʻa fakatātaaʻi ʻi hono ʻoatu ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau monumanu ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Lao ʻa Mōsesé. (Hep. 10:1-4) ʻIkai naʻe totonu ke talitali lelei mo fakalāngilangiʻi ia, ʻe he kau Siú, ʻa ia naʻa nau tatali ki he Mīsaia ne talaʻofaʻaki maí? (Sione 6:14) ʻI hono kehé, naʻe “taʻetokaʻi” ʻa e Kalaisí ʻe he kau Siú, pea naʻá ne “taʻe mahuʻinga” kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia ne kikiteʻi ʻe ʻAiseá. Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Sioné: “Naʻa ne haʻu ki hono ʻapi tonu, ka ka ʻikai tali ia ʻe hono kakai oʻona.” (Sione 1:11) Naʻe tala ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá ki he kau Siú: “Ko e ʻOtua o ʻetau ngaahi kui, kuo ne fakalangilangiʻi ʻene sevaniti ko Sisu—ʻa e toko taha ko ia naʻa mou tuku ange, pea fakafisinga, mo tulikekina ʻi he ʻao ʻo Pailato, lolotonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe ia ke vete ange: kae fakafisinga ʻe kimoutolu ʻa e Toko Taha Maʻoniʻoni mo Angatonu.”—Ng. 3:13, 14.
4. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e maheni ʻa Sīsū mo e mahakí?
4 Naʻe toe kikiteʻi ʻe ʻAisea ko Sīsuú naʻe pau ke ne “maheni mo e mahaki.” Lolotonga ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú, naʻe helaʻia moʻoni ʻa Sīsū ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ka ʻoku ʻikai fakahaaʻi naʻá ne puke. (Sione 4:6) Kae kehe, naʻá ne maheni mo e mahaki ʻo e faʻahinga naʻá ne malanga ki aí. Naʻá ne ongoʻi fakaʻofaʻia ʻia kinautolu pea naʻá ne fakamoʻui ʻa e tokolahi. (Mk. 1:32-34) Ko ia naʻe fakahoko ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kikite ʻa ia ʻoku pehē: “ʻA, ko e ngaahi mahaki ʻatautolu naʻe fua ʻe he toko taha ko ia, pea ko ʻetau ngaahi mamahi naʻa ne hilifaki kiate ia.”—Ai. 53:4a; Mt. 8:16, 17.
Hangē “Kuo Taaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua”
5. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e vakai ʻa e kau Siu tokolahi ki he pekia ʻa Sīsuú, pea ko e hā naʻe fakalahi ai heni ʻa ʻene mamahí?
5 Lau ʻa e Aisea 53:4e. Ko e tokolahi ʻo e toʻumeʻa ʻo Sīsuú naʻe ʻikai te nau mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo ʻene faingataʻaʻiá mo ʻene pekiá. Naʻa nau tui ne tauteaʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá, ʻo hangē ne taaʻi ʻaki ia ha mahaki palakuú. (Mt. 27:38-44) Naʻe tukuakiʻi ʻe he kau Siú ʻa Sīsū ki he lea fieʻotua. (Mk. 14:61-64; Sione 10:33) Ko e moʻoni, ko Sīsuú naʻe ʻikai ko ha tokotaha faiangahala pe lea fieʻotua. Ka ʻi he vakai atu ki heʻene ʻofa lahi ki heʻene Tamaí, ko e foʻi fakakaukau tofu pē ko ia ʻa e pau ke ne mate ʻo tukuakiʻi ki he lea fieʻotuá kuo pau naʻe toe fakalahi ai ʻa ʻene mamahi ʻi he tuʻunga ko e Sevāniti ʻa Sihová. Neongo ia, naʻá ne loto-lelei ke fakamoʻulaloa ki he finangalo ʻo Sihová.—Mt. 26:39.
6, 7. ʻI he ʻuhinga fē naʻe “laiki” ai ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene Sevāniti faitōnungá, pea ko e hā naʻe “finangalo” pe fiefia ai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he meʻá ni?
6 ʻOku ʻikai ha ofo ʻi he kikite ʻa ʻAisea ʻo fakahaaʻi ʻe vakai ʻa e niʻihi kehé kia Kalaisi “kuo taaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua” ka ʻoku lava ke toe fakaʻohovale ʻa e tomuʻa tala ʻi he kikité: “Naʻe finangalo [pe fiefia] ʻa Sihova ke laiki ia.” (Ai. 53:10) Koeʻuhi naʻe toe pehē ʻe Sihova: “Vakai ko ʻeku sevaniti é, . . . ʻa ʻeku pele [pe tokotaha kuo fili], ʻa ia ʻou hoifua ai ʻeku moʻui,” ʻe malava fēfē ke “finangalo [pe fiefia] ʻa Sihova ke laiki ia”? (Ai. 42:1) ʻI he ʻuhinga fē ʻoku lava ai ke pehē naʻe ʻomai ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e fiefia kia Sihova?
7 Ke mahinoʻi ʻa e konga ko eni ʻo e kikité, ʻoku totonu ke tau manatuʻi ʻi hono poleʻi ʻa e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová, naʻe ʻai ai ʻe Sētane ke hā taʻepau pe ʻe mateaki ʻa e kau sevāniti kotoa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hēvani pea ʻi he māmaní. (Siope 1:9-11; 2:3-5) Ko Sīsū, ʻi heʻene faitōnunga ai pē ʻo aʻu ki he maté, naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e tali haohaoa ki he pole ʻa Sētané. Ko ia ai, lolotonga naʻe fakaʻatā ʻe Sihova ʻa Kalaisi ke tāmateʻi ʻe hono ngaahi filí, ʻoku ʻikai lava ke ʻi ai ha veiveiua naʻe mamahi ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene ʻafio mai ki hono tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene Sevāniti kuo filí. Kae kehe, ʻi he sio ki he faitōnunga fakaʻaufuli ʻa hono ʻAló naʻe fiefia lahi ai ʻa Sihova. (Pal. 27:11) ʻIkai ko ia pē, ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga ʻe ʻomai ʻi he pekia ʻa hono ʻAló ki he faʻahinga fakatomala ʻo e tangatá naʻe fiefia lahi ai ʻa Sihova.—Luke 15:7.
“Hokaʻi Koeʻuhi ko e Ngaahi Angahala ʻAtautolu”
8, 9. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e “hokaʻi [ʻo Sīsū] koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala ʻatautolu”? (e) Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakapapauʻi eni ʻe Pitá?
8 Lau ʻa e Aisea 53:6. ʻI he hangē ha fanga sipi heé, kuo ʻalu fano holo ai ʻa e faʻahinga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá, ʻi he kumi ki ha haoʻanga mei he puke mo e mate kuo tukufakaholo mai meia ʻĀtamá. (1 Pita 2:25) ʻI he taʻehaohaoá, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻo e hako ʻo ʻĀtamá ʻe lava ke ne fakatau fakafoki mai ʻa e meʻa naʻe liʻaki ʻe ʻĀtamá. (Sāme 49:7) Kae kehe, ʻi heʻene ʻofa lahí, “kuo ʻai ʻe Sihova ke lave kiate ia ʻa e hia ʻatautolu kotoa pe,” ʻa hono ʻAlo ʻofeiná pea ko e Sevāniti kuo filí. ʻI heʻene loto-lelei ke “hokaʻi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala ʻatautolu” pea “tuki ia koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi hia,” naʻe fua ʻe Kalaisi ʻetau angahalá ʻi he ʻakaú peá ne pekia ʻo fetongi kitautolu.
9 Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá: “ʻIo, ko e meʻa ia naʻe ui kimoutolu ki ai: he naʻe kataki mamahi ʻa Kalaisi foki koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻo ne tuku ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga kiate kimoutolu, ke mou muimui ofi, ʻo topuvaʻe taha mo ia. ʻA ia naʻa ne fua ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻatautolu, ʻe ia, ʻi hono sino, ʻi he ʻakau; koeʻuhi ʻi heʻetau mate ki heʻetau ngaahi angahala, ke tau moʻui ki he maʻoniʻoni.” Pea ʻi heʻene hiki lea mei he kikite ʻa ʻAiseá, naʻe hoko atu ʻa Pita: “Ko hono kafo ne mei ai homou faitoʻo.” (1 Pita 2:21, 24; Ai. 53:5) Naʻe fakaʻatā ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e hala ki he kau angahalá ke nau fakalelei ai mo e ʻOtuá, hangē ko ia naʻe toe fakahaaʻi ʻe Pitá: “Ko Kalaisi foki naʻa ne moʻua mamahi tuʻo taha koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahala, ko e angatonu maʻa e taʻeangatonu, koeʻuhi ke ne fakaofiofi ʻa kitautolu ki he ʻOtua.”—1 Pita 3:18.
“Hange ha Lami ʻOku Taki Atu ke Tamateʻi”

10 Lau ʻa e Aisea 53:7, 8. ʻI he taimi naʻe sio ai ʻa Sione Papitaiso ki he fakaofiofi mai ʻa Sīsuú, naʻá ne kalanga: “Vakai, ko ena ʻa e Lami ʻa e ʻOtua, ʻa ia ʻoku ne ʻave ʻa e angahala ʻa māmani!” (Sione 1:29) ʻI heʻene lea fekauʻaki mo Sīsū ko ha Lamí, naʻe ʻi he fakakaukau nai ʻa Sioné ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻAisea: “Hange ha lami ʻoku taki atu ke tamateʻi.” (Ai. 53:7) “Naʻa ne lilingi hono laumalie ke ʻosi, ʻo pekia,” ko e kikite ia ʻa ʻAiseá. (Ai. 53:12) ʻOku fakatupu tokangá, ʻi he pō naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e Fakamanatu ʻo ʻene pekiá, naʻá ne ʻoange ai ha ipu uaine ki he kau ʻapositolo faitōnunga ʻe toko 11 peá ne pehē: “Ko hoku toto ʻeni ko e toto fuakava, ʻa ia ʻoku lilingi koeʻuhi ko e tokolahi ke lava ai ʻa e fakamolemole angahala.”—Mt. 26:28.

11 ʻI he hangē ko ʻAisake ʻi he kuonga muʻá, naʻe loto-lelei ʻa Sīsū ke foaki ia ko ha feilaulau ʻi he ʻōlitá ʻa ia ko e finangalo ia ʻo Sihova kiate iá. (Sen. 22:1, 2, 9-13; Hep. 10:5-10) Lolotonga naʻe loto-lelei ʻa ʻAisake ki hono feilaulauʻi iá, ko ʻĒpalahame naʻá ne feinga ke fai ʻa e feilaulaú. (Hep, 11:17) ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, naʻe tali loto-lelei ʻe Sīsū ʻa e pau ko ia ke ne maté, ka ko Sihova ia ʻa e Matavai ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu ki he huhuʻí.

(Loma 5:12; 6:23, PM) ʻOku fiemaʻu ʻa e fakalelei ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Sihova mo e faʻahinga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá. Ko e vahe 53 ʻo e kikite ʻa ʻAiseá ʻoku fakamatalaʻi lelei ai ʻa e founga ʻo e hoko ʻa Sīsū ʻo “hufekina,” pe fakalaloa maʻá e faʻahinga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá, ʻi he pehē: “Naʻe hilifaki kiate ia hotau tautea fakamelino; pea ko hono ngaahi ta ko hotau faitoʻo ia.”—Ai. 53:5.
14 ʻI hono fua ʻetau angahalá pea pekia maʻatautolú, naʻe ʻai ai ʻe Kalaisi ke “angatonu ha tokolahi.” Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Nae leleiia [ʻa e ʻOtuá] ke nofo ae fonu kotoabe iate ia [Kalaisi]; Bea i he fakamelino aki ae taataa i hono tutuki ki he akau, ke fakalelei ai ae gaahi mea kotoabe kiate ia; iate ia, be ko ha gaahi mea i mamani, be koe gaahi mea i he lagi.”—Kol. 1:19, 20, PM.
