ʻOku Fiemaʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ʻAukaí?
KO E Lao ko ia ʻa e ʻOtuá naʻe fakafou ʻia Mōsesé naʻe fiemaʻu ai ʻa e ʻaukaí ʻi he foʻi taimi pē taha—ʻi hono fai fakataʻu ko ia ʻo e ʻAho ʻo e Fakaleleí. ʻI he ʻaho ko iá naʻe fekauʻi ai ʻe he Laó ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke ‘nau fakamamahi kinautolu,’ ʻa ia ʻoku mahino naʻe ʻuhingá ke nau ʻaukai. (Livitikō 16:29-31; 23:27; Sāme 35:13) Neongo ia, ko e ʻaukaí ni naʻe ʻikai ko ha meʻa pē ke faimaʻu. Ko hono tauhi ko ia ʻa e ʻAho ʻo e Fakaleleí naʻe ueʻi ai ʻa e kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí ke toe mahino lahi ange honau tuʻunga angahalaʻiá, pea mo e fiemaʻu ko ia ʻo e huhuʻí. Naʻa nau toe ʻaukai foki ʻi he ʻaho ko iá ke fakahaaʻi ʻenau mamahi ko ʻenau ngaahi angahalá mo e fakatomala ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá.
Neongo ko e ʻaukai pē ʻeni naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Lao ʻa Mōsesé, naʻe tauhi ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ia ha ngaahi ʻaukai ʻi ha ngaahi taimi kehe. (ʻEkisoto 34:28; 1 Sāmiuela 7:6; 2 Kalonikali 20:3; ʻĒsela 8:21; ʻĒseta 4:3, 16) Naʻe kau ʻi heni mo e ngaahi ʻaukai naʻe fai loto tauʻatāina ko ha ʻuhinga nai ki hono fakahāhaaʻi ha fakatomala. Naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ʻe Sihova ʻa e kakai faihala ʻo Siutá: “Mou matuʻaki tafoki kiate au ʻaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo homou loto, pea ʻaki ʻa e ʻaukai, pea ʻaki ʻa e tangi, pea ʻaki ʻa e tangilaulau.” Naʻe ʻikai ko e fakahāhā ʻeni fakatuʻasino, he ʻoku hoko atu ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo pehē: “Hae homou loto, ʻo ʻikai ko homou kofu.”—Sioeli 2:12-15.
ʻI he tukuʻau mai ʻa e taimí, naʻe fai ai ʻe he tokolahi ia ʻa e ʻaukaí ko ha angafai fakatuʻasino pē. Naʻe fakaliliʻa ʻa Sihova ki he faʻahinga ʻaukai taʻeloto-totonu peheé ko ia ai naʻá ne ʻeke ki he kau ʻIsileli mālualoí: “Ko eni koa ʻa e ʻaukai te u manako ai? ko e ʻaho tokua ke fakamamahi ʻe ha tangata ʻene moʻui? ke taupe hono ʻulu hange ha moaʻi fusi, pea ke folahi tauangaʻa mo e efu ke ne toka ai? ʻoku ke ui ha meʻa pehe ko e ʻaukai, mo e ʻaho ʻe hoifua ai ʻa Sihova?” (ʻAisea 58:5) ʻI he ʻikai ko e fai ko ha fakahāhā pē ʻenau ʻaukaí, ko e kakai talangataʻá ni naʻe fiemaʻú ke nau fakahā ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻoku tuha mo e fakatomalá.
Ko e ngaahi ʻaukai ʻe niʻihi naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kau Siú ne taʻefakahōifua pē ia ki he ʻOtuá talu mei hono kamata faí. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi he taimi ʻe taha ko e kakai ko ia ʻo Siutá naʻe ʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi ʻaukai ʻe fā fakataʻu ke fakamanatuʻaki ʻa e ngaahi taimi faingataʻa fekauʻaki mo hono ʻākoloʻi mo fakamaomaonganoa ko ia ʻo Selusalema ʻi he senituli hono fitu K.M. (2 Tuʻi 25:1-4, 8, 9, 22-26; Sākalaia 8:19) Hili hono fakaʻatā ko ia ʻa e kau Siú mei he nofo pōpula ʻi Pāpiloné, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova ʻo fakafou ʻia Sākalaia: “Ko hoʻomou ʻaukai . . . , ʻo fitungofuluʻi taʻu mālō, naʻa mou momoʻi ʻaukai kiate au, ʻa Au?” Naʻe ʻikai hōifua ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he ngaahi ʻaukaí ni koeʻuhí ko e kau Siú naʻa nau ʻaukai mo fakamamahi kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi fakamaau naʻe haʻu tonu meia Sihová. Naʻa nau ʻaukaí koeʻuhi ko e fakamamahi naʻe tō kiate kinautolu, kae ʻikai ko ʻenau faihalá tonu ʻa ē ne iku ai ki aí. Hili hono toe fakafoki kinautolu ki honau fonuá, ko e taimi ia ke nau fiefia ai kae tuku e tengihia ʻo e kuohilí ia.—Sākalaia 7:5.
Ko e ʻAukaí Maʻá e Kalisitiané?
Neongo naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fekauʻi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ke ʻaukai ʻene kau ākongá, ko ia mo hono kau muimuí naʻa nau ʻaukai kinautolu ʻi he ʻAho ʻo e Fakaleleí koeʻuhi naʻa nau ʻi he malumalu kinautolu ʻo e Lao ʻa Mōsesé. Tānaki atu ki aí, ko e niʻihi ʻo ʻene kau ākongá naʻa nau fai tauʻatāina pē ʻa e ʻaukaí he ngaahi taimi kehe, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai fakahinohino ʻe Sīsū ia kinautolu ke mātuʻaki tuku hono faí. (Ngāue 13:2, 3; 14:23) Neongo ia, naʻe pau ke ʻoua te nau ‘fakalālāfuaʻa honau matá, koeʻuhi ke nau hā ki he kakaí ʻoku nau ʻaukai.’ (Mātiu 6:16) Ko ha fakahāhā fakangalilotu fakatuʻasino peheé te ne ʻomi nai ha ngaahi tauhila mo ha ngaahi kamokamo ʻo e manumanumelieʻia mei he faʻahinga kehé. Ka neongo ia, ʻoku ʻikai leleiʻia ʻa e ʻOtuá ia ʻi he fiehā peheé.—Mātiu 6:17, 18.
Naʻe toe lea foki ʻa Sīsū ki he ʻaukai ko ia ʻo ʻene kau muimuí ʻi he taimi naʻe pekia aí. Naʻe ʻikai ko ʻene fokotuʻu ai ʻe ia ha ouau ʻaukai. Ka, ko ʻene fakahā pē ha faʻahinga ongoʻi ʻo e fuʻu mamahi ko ia te nau aʻusiá. ʻI he taimi pē naʻá ne toetuʻu aí, ʻe toe fakataha leva ia mo kinautolu, pea naʻe ʻikai leva ha toe ʻuhinga ke nau ʻaukai ai.—Luke 5:34, 35.
Naʻe ngata ʻa e Lao ʻa Mōsesé ʻi he hoko ʻa e “Misaia, ko e meʻa ʻi hono ʻoatu ta tuʻo taha ke fua ʻa e angahala ʻo e tokolahi.” (Hepelū 9:24-28) Pea ʻi he ngata ʻa e Laó, naʻe ngata ai mo e fekau ko ia ke ʻaukai he ʻAho ʻo e Fakaleleí. Ko ia, naʻe toʻo atu ai ʻa e ʻaukai pē taha naʻe fekauʻí ʻa ē naʻe lave ki ai ʻa e Tohitapú.
Fēfē ʻa e Lēnití?
Ko e hā leva ʻa e makatuʻunga ki hono fai ko ia ʻe he Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané ʻa e ʻaukaí lolotonga ʻo e Lēnití? Ko e ongo siasi ko ia ko e Katoliká mo e Palotisaní ʻokú na fakatou tokangaʻi ʻa e Lēnití, neongo ko e anga hono tauhí ʻoku kehe ia mei he siasi ki he siasi. Ko e faʻahinga ia ʻe niʻihi ʻoku nau kai ʻi he houa kai pē taha he ʻaho ʻi he kātoa ʻo e vahaʻa taimi ʻaho ʻe 40 ko ia ki muʻa he Toetuʻú. Ko e niʻihi ʻoku nau ʻaukai kakato pē ʻi he Pulelulu Efuefú mo e Falaite Leleí. Ka ki he faʻahinga, ko e Lēnití ʻoku fiemaʻu ia ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he kakanoʻi manu, ika, fuaʻimoa mo e ngaahi meʻa ngaohi mei he huʻakaú.
Ko e Lēnití ʻoku makatuʻunga tokua ʻi he ʻaukai ʻaho ʻe 40 ko ia ʻa Sīsū hili hono papitaisó. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu nai ai ha ouau ke muimui fakataʻu ki ai? ʻIkai ʻaupito. ʻOku hā mahino ʻeni mei he moʻoni ko ia ko e Tohitapú ʻoku ʻikai te ne hiki ʻe ia ha faʻahinga fai pehē ʻi he muʻaki kau Kalisitiané. Ko e Lēnití naʻe fuofua tauhi ia ʻi he senituli hono fā hili ʻa Kalaisí. Hangē pē ko e ngaahi akonaki kehe ʻa e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané, naʻe ohi ʻeni ia mei he tupuʻanga Pangani.
Kapau ko e Lēnití ko e faʻifaʻitaki ia ki he ʻaukai ʻa Sīsū he toafá ʻi he hili hono papitaisó, ko e hā ʻoku tauhi ai ia he lolotonga ʻo e ngaahi uike ʻoku fakaʻau atu ki he Toetuʻú—ʻa ē ʻoku lau ko e taimi ia naʻá ne toetuʻu aí? Naʻe ʻikai ke ʻaukai ʻa Sīsū ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ki muʻa heʻene pekiá. Ko e ngaahi fakamatala ʻa e Kōsipelí ʻoku fakahā ai ko ia mo ʻene kau ākongá naʻa nau ʻaʻahi ki he ngaahi ʻapí mo kai he ngaahi houa kai ʻi Pētani ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho siʻi pē ki muʻa peá ne pekiá. Pea naʻá ne kai ʻi he meʻakai ʻo e Pāsová he pō ko ia ki muʻa heʻene pekiá.—Mātiu 26:6, 7; Luke 22:15; Sione 12:2.
ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e meʻa ke ako mei he ʻaukai ko ia ʻa Sīsū he hili hono papitaisó. Ko ʻene kamata ia ʻi ha ngāue mahuʻinga. Naʻe kaunga ia ki he fakatonuhiaʻi ʻo e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová mo e kahaʻu ʻo e faʻahinga fakalūkufua ʻo e tangatá. Ko ha taimi ʻeni naʻe fai ai ʻa e fakalaulauloto lahi mo e hanga kia Sihova ʻi he lotu ki ha tokoni mo ha tataki. ʻI he lolotonga ʻa e taimi ko ʻení naʻe ʻaukai totonu ai ʻa Sīsū. ʻOku fakahaaʻi heni ko e ʻaukaí ʻe lava ke ʻaonga kapau ko e fai ʻi he taumuʻa lelei mo taimi tonu.—Fakafehoanaki mo Kolose 2:20-23.
Taimi ʻE ʻAonga Ai ʻa e ʻAukaí
Tau fakakaukau atu angé ki ha ngaahi taimi he ʻahó ni ʻe ngali ʻaukai nai ai ha tokotaha lotu ki he ʻOtuá. Ko ha taha naʻá ne fai ha angahala ʻe ʻikai ongoʻi fiefie kai nai ʻi ha vahaʻa taimi. ʻOku ʻikai fai ʻeni ia ke maongo ki he niʻihi kehé pe ko e ʻita ʻi he valoki naʻe faí. Pea ko e moʻoni foki, ko e ʻaukai ʻiate ia peé ʻe ʻikai fakatonutonu ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ia mo e ʻOtuá. Ka neongo ia, ko ha tokotaha fakatomala moʻoni ʻe ongoʻi loto-mamahi lahi nai ʻi hano fakamamahiʻi ʻa Sihova pea ngalingali mo e ngaahi kaungāmeʻá mo e fāmilí foki. Ko e loto-mamahí mo e lotu faivelenga ki he fakamolemolé te ne taʻofi nai ha holi ki ha meʻakai.
Ko Tuʻi Tēvita ʻo ʻIsilelí naʻá ne hokosia ha meʻa pehē. ʻI heʻene fehangahangai ko ia mo e ʻamanaki mole hono foha ʻia Pātisepá, ne tuku kotoa hono iví ʻi he lotu kia Sihova ke maʻu mai ha meesi fekauʻaki mo ʻene tamá. ʻI heʻene nōfoʻi kakato ʻi he lotú, naʻá ne ʻaukai leva. ʻOku pehē pē, ʻe ʻikai nai feʻungamālie ke fai ha kai lolotonga ha ngaahi taimi fakamamahi pehē ʻi he ʻahó ni.—2 Sāmiuela 12:15-17.
ʻE toe ʻi ai nai mo ha ngaahi taimi ʻe fie tokanga-taha ai ha tokotaha anga-fakaʻotua ki ha ngaahi meʻa loloto fakalaumālie. ʻE feʻunga nai ha fekumi ʻi he Tohitapú mo e ngaahi tohi faka-Kalisitiané. Ko ha vahaʻa taimi nai ʻe fiemaʻu ki ha fakalaulauloto. ʻI he lolotonga ʻo ha taimi ako fakamātoato pehē, ʻe fili nai ʻe ha taha ke ʻoua ʻe toe fakahohaʻasi ia ʻaki hano kai ha meʻakai.—Fakafehoanaki mo Selemaia 36:8-10.
ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi faʻifaʻitakiʻanga faka-Tohitapu ʻo e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻenau ʻaukai ʻi he taimi naʻe fiemaʻu ai ke fai ha ngaahi fili māfatukituki. ʻI he taimi ʻo Nehemaiá ko e fuakavá naʻe fai ia kia Sihova, pea ko e kau Siú te nau aʻusia ha mala kapau te nau maumauʻi ia. Naʻe pau ke nau palōmesi ke tukuange honau ngaahi uaifi mulí, pea mo fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi fonua takatakaí. Ki muʻa ke fai ʻa e fuakavá ni pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e vete ʻenau halá, naʻe ʻaukai kotoa ʻa e fakatahaʻangá. (Nehemaia 9:1, 38; 10:29, 30) ʻI he fehangahangai mo ha ngaahi fili mamafa ke faí, ko ha Kalisitiane te ne nofo taʻekai nai ʻi ha kiʻi vahaʻa taimi nounou.
Ko hono fai ha fili ʻe he ngaahi kulupu ʻo e kau mātuʻá ʻi he muʻaki fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané naʻe ʻalu fakataha ia mo e ʻaukai ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi. ʻI he ʻahó ni, ko e kau mātuʻa he fakatahaʻangá ʻoku nau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi fili faingataʻa ke fai, mahalo ʻoku fekauʻaki mo ha meʻa fakaefakamaau, te nau fakaʻehiʻehi nai mei he meʻakaí lolotonga hono fakakaukauʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku hokó.
Ko e fili ko ia ke ʻaukai ʻi he ngaahi taimi paú ko ha meʻa fakafoʻituitui ia. ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke fakamāuʻi ʻe ha taha ia ha taha fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni. ʻOku ʻikai ko ʻetau fiemaʻú ia ke “ha ki he kakai ko e kau maʻoniʻoni”; pe ko hono ʻai ʻa e meʻakaí ʻo fuʻu mahuʻinga ʻo ne uesia ai ʻe ia ʻetau tokanga ki he ngaahi fatongia māfatukitukí. (Mātiu 23:28; Luke 12:22, 23) Pea ʻoku fakahā ʻe he Tohitapú ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ia ke tau ʻaukai pe taʻofi kitautolu mei he ʻaukaí.
