ʻI HA laui senituli, kuo feinga ʻa e kau mīsaia loí ke tala ki muʻa ʻa e kahaʻú. ʻI he senituli hono 5 T.S., naʻe hanga ai ʻe ha tangata naʻá ne ui ia ko Mōsese ʻo fakatuipauʻi ʻa e kau Siu ʻi he motu ko Kēlití ko e mīsaiá ia pea te ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi kinautolu mei he fakafeʻātungiá. ʻI he ʻaho naʻe kotofa ki honau fakatauʻatāiná, naʻa nau muimui ʻiate ia ki ha potu māʻolunga ʻoku hanga hifo ki he Tahi Metiteleniané.

Naʻe loto-lelei ʻa e kālifá ki he palani ko iá—pea ko ʻene ngata ia ʻa e “mīsaia” ko iá.
3. Ko hai ʻa e Mīsaia moʻoní, pea ko e hā naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú?

Ko e Mīsaia moʻoní, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ko e fakahoko moʻui ia ʻo e ngaahi kikite lahi ʻa e Tohitapú. Hangē ko ení, ʻi he lave ki he kikite ʻa ʻAiseá, naʻe tohi ʻe he tokotaha tohi Kōsipeli ko Mātiú: “He fonua ʻo Sepulone, he fonua ʻo Nafitalai, he potu hanga ki tahi, ʻa Tuʻa-Sioatani, ʻa Kaleli ʻo Senitaile; ko e kakai nofo he poʻuli naʻa nau mamata ki ha māma lahi; pea ko e nofo he fonua tonu mo e malu ʻo Mate naʻe hopo ha māma kiate kinautolu. Mei he taimi ko ia naʻe kamata ʻa Sisu ke malanga, ʻo pehe, Mou fakatomala, he kuo ofi ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani.” (Mātiu 4:15-17; Aisea 9:1, 2 [Isaia, PM]) Ko Sīsū ʻa e “maama” lahi ko iá, pea ko ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ai ko e Palōfita ia naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe Mōsesé. Ko e faʻahinga ko ia naʻe fakafisi ke fanongo kia Sīsuú ʻe fakaʻauha kinautolu.—Teutalonome 18:18, 19; Ngāue 3:22, 23.
4. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahoko ʻe Sīsū ʻa e Aisea 53:12?
4 Naʻe toe fakahoko ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi folofola fakaekikite ʻi he Aisea 53:12: “Naʻa ne lilingi hono laumalie ke ʻosi, ʻo pekia, ʻo ne tuku ke lau ia fakataha mo e kau angahala: ʻosi kuo ne fua ʻa e angahala ʻa e tokolahi, pea kuo ne hufekina ʻa e kau angahala.” ʻI heʻene iloʻi ʻe vavé ni ke ne foaki atu ʻene moʻui fakaetangatá ko ha huhuʻí, naʻe fakaivimālohiʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tui ʻa ʻene kau ākongá. (Maake 10:45) Naʻá ne fai eni ʻi ha tuʻunga tuʻu-ki-muʻá ʻo fakafou ʻi he fakasinokehé.
ʻOku Langa Hake ʻe he Fakasinokehé ʻa e Tui
5. ʻI he ngaahi lea pē ʻaʻau, te ke fakamatalaʻi fēfē ʻa e fakasinokehé?
5 Ko e fakasinokehé ko ha meʻa fakaekikite ia. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Koe Foha oe tagata e haʻu ia i he nāunāu o ene Tamai mo ene kau agelo . . . Ko eku tala mooni atu kiate kimoutolu, Oku tutuu ae niihi i heni, e ikai te nau kamata ae mate, kae oua ke nau vakai ki he Foha oe tagata oku haʻu i hono buleaga.” (Mātiu 16:27, 28, PM) Naʻe sio moʻoni ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e kau ʻapositoló ki he hoko mai ʻa Sīsū ʻi hono Puleʻangá? ʻOku pehē ʻe Mātiu 17:1-7: “Pea hili ʻa e ʻaho ʻe ono, naʻe ʻave ʻe Sisu ʻa Pita, mo Semisi, pea mo Sione ko e tehina ʻo Semisi, pea ne ʻohake kinautolu ki ha moʻunga maʻolunga fakaekinautolu. Pea naʻe fakakehe hono anga ʻi honau ʻao.” He meʻa fakaofo moʻoni ia! “Naʻe malama hono fōtunga ʻo hange ko e laʻa, pea ko hono ngāhi kofu naʻe hinaekiaki mai ʻo hange ko e maama. Pea ta naʻe ha kiate kinautolu ʻa Mosese mo Ilaisia ʻoku nau talanoa mo ia.” Pehē foki, “naʻe fakapūlou kinaua ʻe ha ʻao māma,” pea naʻa nau fanongo ki he leʻo tonu ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻokú ne folofola mai: “Ko hoku ʻAlo Pele ʻena, ʻa ia kuo u hōifua ai; mou fakaongo kiate ia. Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻa e kau ako, naʻa nau mapeʻe ki honau mata, ʻo nau manavahe ʻaupito. Pea ʻunuʻunu mai ʻa Sisu ʻo ne ala kiate kinautolu, mo ne pehe, Tuʻu, pea ʻoua ʻe manavahe.”
6. (a) Ko e hā naʻe ui ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e fakasinokehé ko ha vīsoné? (e) Ko e hā naʻe hoko ai ʻa e fakasinokehé ko ha tomuʻa fakaʻalí?
6 Ko e meʻa fakaofo ko ení ngalingali naʻe hoko ia ʻi he taha ʻo e ngaahi tafungofunga ʻo e Moʻunga Heamoní, ʻa ia naʻe nofo ai ʻa Sīsū mo e toko tolu ʻapositoló ʻi he pō ko iá. Ko e fakasinokehé ʻoku hā mahino naʻe hoko poʻuli, ʻo ʻai ia ke mātuʻaki hā maeʻeeʻa lelei. Ko e ʻuhinga ʻe taha naʻe ui ai ʻe Sīsū ia ko ha vīsoné koeʻuhi ko Mōsese mo ʻIlaisiā ʻa ia ne fuoloa ʻena maté naʻe ʻikai te na ʻi ai moʻoni. Ko Kalaisi pē naʻe ʻi ai moʻoní. (Mātiu 17:8, 9) Ne hanga ʻe he fakahāhā fetapaki peheé ʻo tuku kia Pita, Sēmisi, mo Sione ha tomuʻa fakaʻali fakaholomamata ʻo e ʻi ai lāngilangiʻia ʻa Sīsū ʻi he mafai ʻo e Puleʻangá. Ko Mōsese mo ʻIlaisiaá ʻoku fakahoko kinaua ʻi he kau kaungāʻea pani ʻo Sīsuú, pea ʻoku hanga ʻe he vīsoné ʻo fakaivifefekaʻi lahi ʻa ʻene fakamoʻoni fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻangá mo hono tuʻunga tuʻi ʻi he kahaʻú.
7. Ko e hā ʻoku tau ʻilo ai naʻe maʻu ʻe Pita ha manatu lelei ki he fakasinokehé?
7 Ko e fakasinokehé naʻe tokoni ia ke fakaivimālohiʻi ʻa e tui ʻa e kau ʻapositolo ʻe toko tolú ʻa ia naʻe pau ke nau fakahoko ha ngafa tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻi he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané.

Ka naʻe pau ki he kau ʻapositoló ke ʻoua naʻa nau fakamatala ʻa e vīsoné ki ha taha kae ʻoua kuo toetuʻu ʻa Sīsū. Hili nai ha taʻu ʻe 32 mei ai, naʻe kei manatu lelei pē ʻa Pita ki he vīsone ko ení. ʻI heʻene tuhu ki ai mo hono mahuʻingá, naʻá ne tohi: “He talaʻehai ko ʻemau fai ki ha ngaahi fananga ne faʻu ke fakahinga ʻa e kakai, ʻa ʻemau ongoongoa atu ʻa e māfimafi ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, mo ʻene toe hoko mai; ka ko e kau sio tonu kimautolu ki hono langilangi. He naʻa ne maʻu mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa mo e fakalangilangiʻi, he ʻomai kiate ia ʻa e leʻo ko ia naʻe pehe fau ʻe he Sikaina nāunauʻia, ʻo pehe, Ko hoku ʻAlo Pele ʻena, ʻa ia kuo toka ki ai ʻeku hōifua.

(Mātiu 24:3) Ko hono moʻoní, ko e fakahinohino ko ia ʻa Sīsū ke ʻoua naʻa tala ki ha taha ʻa e vīsoné kae ʻoua kuó ne tuʻu hake mei he pekiá, ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ko hono hakeakiʻí mo hono fakalāngilangiʻí ʻe toki hoko ia hili ʻene toetuʻú.

9 Hili ʻene lave ki he fakasinokehé, naʻe pehē ʻe Pita: “Kaeʻumaʻā ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e folofola [fakaekikite], ʻa ia ko e meʻa ʻoku pau ange; pea ʻoku mālō hoʻomou fakatokanga ki ai, he ʻoku hange ko ha maama ʻoku ulo ʻi ha potu maomaonganoa, kaeʻoua ke mafoa ʻa e ata, pea hopo ʻa e fetuʻuʻaho ʻi homou loto. Ka mou ʻilo muʻa, ʻIlonga ha [kikite] ʻi he Tohitapu, naʻe ʻikai tupu ia mei ha fakaʻuhinga ʻa ha tangata.

10. Ko hai pe ko e hā ʻa e “fetuʻuʻaho” naʻe lave ki ai ʻa Pitá, pea ko e hā ʻokú ke tali pehē aí?
10 Naʻe tohi ʻe Pita: “ʻOku mālō hoʻomou fakatokanga ki ai [ki he folofola fakaekikité], he ʻoku hange ko ha maama ʻoku ulo ʻi ha potu maomaonganoa, kaeʻoua ke mafoa ʻa e ata, pea hopo ʻa e fetuʻuʻaho.” Ko hai pe ko e hā ʻa e “fetuʻuʻaho”? Ko e foʻi lea “fetuʻuʻaho” ʻoku ʻasi tuʻo taha pē ʻi he Tohitapú, pea ʻoku meimei ʻuhinga tatau ia mo e “fetuʻu pongipongi.” ʻOku ui ʻa Sīsū ʻi he Fakahā 22:16 ko e “Fetuʻu Ngingila, ko e Fetuʻu Pongipongi.” ʻI he ngaahi faʻahitaʻu pau ʻo e taʻú, ko e ngaahi fetuʻu peheé ʻoku nau toki hopo fakamuimui taha ʻi he tafaʻakilangi fakahahaké. ʻOku nau hopo ki muʻa siʻi pē ʻi he ʻasi hake ʻa e laʻaá, pea ʻoku nau fakamelomelo ai ki he ata mai ʻo ha ʻaho foʻou. Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Pita ʻa e foʻi lea “fetuʻuʻaho” ko e lave kia Sīsū ʻi he hili ʻEne maʻu ʻa e mafai ʻo e Puleʻangá. ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe mahiki hake ʻa Sīsū ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ʻunivēsí, kau ai hotau foʻi māmaní! ʻI he tuʻunga ko e Fetuʻuʻaho Fakamīsaiá, ʻokú ne fakamelomelo ki he ata mai ʻo ha ʻaho foʻou, pe kuonga, ki he faʻahinga talangofua ʻo e tangatá.

Ko e mafu ʻo ha tokotaha lahi ʻoku kālami pē ʻe 250 ki he 300 hono mamafá. Ka ʻe malava fēfē ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi—ʻa ia ko ha meʻamoʻui laumālie taʻefaʻamate lāngilangiʻia ʻi hēvani he taimí ni—ke hopo hake he fanga kiʻi ʻōkani fakaetangata ko ení?

Ka ke sio tokanga angé ki he 2 Pita 1:19, pea te ke sio ai ko e New World Translation ʻokú ne ngāueʻaki ha ngaahi koma ke fakamavaheʻi ʻa e kupuʻi lea fakamatala “kaeʻoua ke mafoa ʻa e ata pea hopo ʻa e fetuʻuʻaho” mei he ngaahi lea ki muʻa ange ʻi he foʻi vēsí pea mei he fakalea “ʻi homou loto.” Ko e foʻi veesi ko ení ʻe lava nai ke fakalea ʻi he founga ko ení: ‘ʻOku tau maʻu ʻa e folofola fakaekikité, ʻa ia kuo fakapapauʻi lahi ange; pea ʻoku mālō hoʻomou tokanga ki aí, he ʻoku hangē ko ha maama ʻoku ulo ʻi ha potu fakapoʻuli, ʻa ia, ko homou lotó, kae ʻoua ke mafoa ʻa e atá pea hopo ʻa e fetuʻuʻahó.’
