“ʻIlo ki ha Taha, ko e Mataʻitofe Mahuʻinga Lahi”
“Oku fai malohi ki he buleaga oe lagi, bea oku lavaʻi fakamalohi ia e he kau malohi.” —Mātiu 11:12, PM.
1, 2. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga hāhāmolofia naʻe fakatātaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi he taha ʻo ʻene ngaahi pealapeli ʻo e Puleʻangá? (e) Ko e hā naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻi he pealapeli ʻo e mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahí?
ʻOKU ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻokú ke fakamahuʻingaʻi lahi ʻaupito ʻa ia te ke tukuange ai ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻokú ke maʻú pe feilaulauʻi ʻa hoʻo ngaʻotoʻotá kotoa koeʻuhi ka ke maʻu ia? Neongo ʻoku lau ʻa e kakaí fekauʻaki mo e līʻoá ʻi heʻenau ngāue ki ha faʻahinga taumuʻa—ko e paʻangá, ongoongó, mafaí, pe tuʻungá—ʻoku hāhāmolofia ke maʻu ʻe ha tokotaha ha meʻa ʻoku mātuʻaki ʻaonga ʻo ne loto-lelei ai ke tukuange ʻa e meʻa kotoa kae maʻu mai ʻa e meʻa ko iá. Naʻe lave ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ki he tuʻunga hāhāmolofia kae lelei ʻaupito ko ení ʻi he taha ʻo ʻene ngaahi pealapeli lahi fakatupu fakakaukau ʻo fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.
2 Ko ha pealapeli ia, pe talanoa fakatātā, naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá pē, ko e taha naʻe faʻa lave ki ai ko e pealapeli ʻo e mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahí. Ko e meʻa eni naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Sīsuú: “ʻOku tatau foki ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani pea mo ha fai fakatau [pe mēsianiti fefonongaʻaki]; ʻa ia naʻa ne ʻalu ko e kumi mataʻitofe lelei: pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo ki ha taha, ko e mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahi, naʻa ne ʻalu [leva] ʻo fakatau atu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe naʻa ne maʻu, ka ne fakatau aki ʻa e mataʻitofe ko ia.” (Mātiu 13:36, 45, 46) Ko e hā naʻe loto ʻa Sīsū ke ako ʻe heʻene kau fanongó mei he talanoa fakatātā ko ení? Pea ʻe lava fēfē ke tau maʻu ʻaonga mei he ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú?
Mahuʻinga Lahi ʻo e Ngaahi Mataʻitofé
3. Ko e hā naʻe mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ai ʻa e ngaahi mataʻitofe leleí ʻi he kuonga muʻá?
3 Kuo fakamahuʻingaʻi mei he kuonga muʻá ʻa e ngaahi mataʻitofé ko e ngaahi meʻa teuteu. ʻOku pehē ʻe he maʻuʻanga fakamatala ʻe taha ʻi he fakatatau ki he mataotao Loma ko Pilini ko e Lahí, naʻe maʻu ʻe he ngaahi mataʻitofé ʻa e “tuʻunga māʻolunga taha ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga kehé kotoa.” ʻI he ʻikai tatau mo e koulá, silivá, pe ko e ngaahi makakoloa lahi, ʻoku faʻu ʻa e ngaahi mataʻitofé ʻe he ngaahi meʻamoʻui. Hangē ko ení, ʻoku ʻiloa ʻa e lava ke liliu ʻe he faʻahinga pau ʻo e tofé—ʻa e fanga kiʻi mapakipakiʻi maka iiki fakatupu ʻita—ki he ngaahi mataʻitofe ngingila ʻaki hono kofu kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻotu ʻo e huhuʻa ʻoku tukuange mai ʻoku ʻiloa ko e neka. ʻI he kuonga muʻá, ko e ngaahi mataʻitofe lelei tahá naʻe tānaki tefito ia mei he Tahi Kulokulá, ko e Kūlifa Pēsiá mo e ʻŌseni ʻInitiá—ʻo mamaʻo mei he fonua ko ʻIsilelí. ʻOku ʻikai ha veiveiua ko e ʻuhinga eni naʻe lau ai ʻa Sīsū ʻo kau ki ha “fai fakatau [pe mēsianiti fefonongaʻaki]; ʻa ia naʻa ne ʻalu ko e kumi mataʻitofe lelei.” Ke maʻu ʻa e ngaahi mataʻitofe mahuʻinga moʻoní, ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ai ha feinga lahi.
4. Ko e hā ʻa e lēsoni tefito ʻo e pealapeli ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e mēsianiti fefonongaʻakí?
4 Neongo kuo fuoloa ʻa e fiemaʻu ki he ngaahi mataʻitofe leleí ʻa e ngaahi totongi mamafá, ʻoku hā mahino ʻoku ʻikai ko honau mahuʻinga fakapaʻangá ʻa e lēsoni tefito ʻo e pealapeli ʻa Sīsuú. ʻI he pealapelí ni, naʻe ʻikai ke fakatatau pē ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ki ha mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahi; naʻá ne fakahanga ʻa e tokangá ki ha “fai fakatau [pe mēsianiti fefonongaʻaki]; ʻa ia naʻa ne ʻalu ko e kumi mataʻitofe lelei” pea ki heʻene talí ʻi heʻene maʻu iá. ʻI he ʻikai hangē ko e kau faifakatau anga-mahení, ko ha mēsianiti, pe tokotaha tila mataʻitofe fefonongaʻaki, ʻa e tokotaha ko ia ʻe ui nai ko e mataotao ʻi he fefakatauʻakí, ko e tokotaha ko ē ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e mata ʻiloʻiló pe ko e ʻilo ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga fakaʻofoʻofa mo e ngaahi fakaikiiki fakapulipuli ʻokú ne fakaʻilongaʻi ha mataʻitofe ʻoku makehé. Te ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e mataʻitofe moʻoní ʻi heʻene sio ki aí pea ʻe ʻikai ke kākaaʻi ia ʻe ha tuʻuaki mai ʻo ha mataʻitofe kovi pe loi.
5, 6. (a) Ko e hā ʻoku tautefito ʻene mahuʻinga fekauʻaki mo e mēsianiti ʻi he pealapeli ʻa Sīsuú? (e) Ko e pealapeli ʻo e koloa fufuú ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e hā fekauʻaki mo e mēsianiti fefonongaʻakí?
5 ʻOku taau ke fakatokangaʻi ʻa e meʻa kehe fekauʻaki mo e mēsianiti tefito ko ení. Ko ha mēsianiti anga-maheni te ne ʻuluaki fikaʻi nai ʻa e mahuʻinga fakamāketi ʻo e mataʻitofé koeʻuhi ke fakapapauʻi ai ʻa e lahi ʻo e meʻa te ne totongi ki aí koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu ai ha tupu. Te ne toe fakakaukau nai pe ʻoku ʻi ai ha māketi ki ha mataʻitofe pehē koeʻuhi ke lava ʻo ne fakatau vave atu ia. ʻI hono fakalea ʻe tahá, te ne mahuʻingaʻia ʻi hono maʻu ha tupu vave ʻi heʻene ʻinivesí, ʻo ʻikai ʻi hono maʻu ʻo e mataʻitofé. Ka ʻoku ʻikai pehē ia ʻi he mēsianiti ʻi he pealapeli ʻa Sīsuú. Ko ʻene mahuʻingaʻiá naʻe ʻikai ʻi he meʻa fakapaʻangá pe fakamatelié. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻá ne loto-lelei ke feilaulauʻi “ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe naʻa ne maʻu”—ʻa e kotoa nai ʻo ʻene ngaʻotoʻotá mo e koloá—koeʻuhí ke maʻu mai ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne kumi ki aí.
6 ʻI he vakai ʻa e tokolahi taha ʻo e kau mēsianití, ko e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he tangata ʻi he pealapeli ʻa Sīsuú ʻoku hangehangē naʻe taʻefakapotopotó. ʻE ʻikai fakakaukau ha tangata pisinisi poto ke ne fai ha ngāue fakapisinisi ala fakatuʻutāmaki pehē. Ka ko e mēsianiti ʻi he pealapeli ʻa Sīsuú naʻá ne maʻu ha tuʻunga kehe ʻo e mahuʻingaʻiá. Ko hono palé naʻe ʻikai ko ha ʻaonga fakapaʻanga, ka ko e fiefia mo e fiemālie ʻi hono maʻu ha meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga funganí. ʻOku ʻai ʻo hā mahino ʻa e poini ko ení ʻi ha talanoa fakatātā tatau naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū. Naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku tatau ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani pea mo ha koloa naʻe tanu ʻi ha ngoue: ʻa ia naʻe ʻilo ki ai ha tangata, ʻo ne fufū, pea ʻi heʻene fiefia ai ʻoku ne ʻalu ʻo fakatau atu ʻene meʻa kotoa, kae fakatau ʻaki ʻa e ngoue ko ia.” (Mātiu 13:44) ʻIo, ko e fiefia ʻoku hoko mai mei hono maʻu mo tauhi ʻa e koloa mahuʻingá naʻe feʻunga ia ke ueʻi ai ʻa e tangatá ke ne tukuange ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻá ne maʻú. ʻOku ʻi ai ha faʻahinga tāutaha hangē ko iá ʻi he ʻahó ni? ʻOku ʻi ai ha koloa mahuʻinga ʻoku tuha mo ha feilaulau pehē?
Faʻahinga Naʻa Nau Mahinoʻi ʻa e Tuʻunga Mahuʻinga Lahí
7. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū naʻá ne mahinoʻi lelei ʻa e mahuʻinga lahi ʻo e Puleʻangá?
7 ʻI hono fakahaaʻi ʻene pealapelí, naʻe talanoa ai ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e “Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani.” Ko iá tonu naʻá ne mahinoʻi moʻoni ʻa e mahuʻinga lahi ʻo e Puleʻangá. ʻOku ʻomai ʻe he ngaahi fakamatala Kōsipelí ʻa e fakamoʻoni mālohi ki he moʻoniʻi meʻa ko iá. Hili ʻene papitaiso ʻi he 29 T.S., naʻe hoko ai ʻa Sīsū ʻo kamata “malanga, ʻo pehe, Mou fakatomala, he kuo ofi ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani.” Naʻá ne akoʻi ʻo feʻunga mo e taʻu ʻe tolu mo e konga ʻa e fuʻu tokolahi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻangá. Naʻá ne fononga ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ki he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo e fonuá, “ʻo fakatotofu ʻa e kolo mo e vilisi, ʻi heʻene fanongonongo ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtua, mo ne tala hono ongoongolelei.”—Mātiu 4:17; Luke 8:1.
8. Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ke fakahāhā ai ʻa e meʻa ʻe fakahoko ʻe he Puleʻangá?
8 ʻI hono fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi mana lahi ʻi he kotoa ʻo e fonuá—ʻo kau ai ʻa e fakamoʻui ʻo e mahakí, fafanga ʻa e fiekaiá, fakavaivaiʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻelemēniti ʻo natulá, naʻa mo hono fokotuʻu hake ʻa e maté—naʻe toe fakahāhā ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e meʻa ʻe fakahoko ʻe he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Mātiu 14:14-21; Maake 4:37-39; Luke 7:11-17) Fakaʻosí, naʻá ne fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa ʻene mateaki ki he ʻOtuá pea ki he Puleʻangá ʻaki hono foaki ʻa ʻene moʻuí pea mate ʻi he mate fakamaʻata ʻi ha ʻakau fakamamahi. Hangē tofu pē ko hono foaki loto-lelei ʻe he mēsianiti fefonongaʻakí ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻá ne maʻú ke maʻu mai ʻa e “mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahi,” naʻe moʻui mo pekia ʻa Sīsū maʻá e Puleʻangá.—Sione 18:37.
9. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻulungāanga hāhāmolofia naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e muʻaki kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú?
9 Naʻe ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he fakahangataha ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene moʻuí tonu ki he Puleʻangá ka naʻá ne toe tānaki fakataha ha kiʻi kau muimui tokosiʻi. Ko e faʻahingá ni foki ko e faʻahinga tāutaha kinautolu ʻa ia naʻa nau mahinoʻi lelei ʻa e mahuʻinga lahi ʻo e Puleʻangá. Naʻe ʻi honau lotolotongá ʻa ʻAnitelū, ʻa ia ko ha muʻaki ākonga ia ʻa Sione Papitaiso. ʻI he fanongo ki he fakamoʻoni ʻa Sione ko Sīsū ʻa e “Lami ʻa e ʻOtua,” ko ʻAnitelū mo e tokotaha ʻe taha ʻo e kau ākonga ʻa Sioné, ngalingali ko e taha ʻi he ongo foha ʻo Sēpetí naʻe toe ui ko Sioné, naʻe tohoakiʻi ai pē kinaua kia Sīsū peá na hoko ko e ongo tui. Ka naʻe ʻikai ko e ngataʻanga ia ʻo e ngaahi meʻá. Naʻe ʻalu ʻi he taimi pē ko iá ʻa ʻAnitelū ki hono tokoua ko Saimoné ʻo tala ange kiate ia: “ʻE, kuo ma ʻilo ʻa e Misaia.” Taimi nounou mei ai, ko Saimone (ʻa ia naʻe hoko ʻo ʻiloa ko Kīfasi, pe Pitá) pea pehē kia Filipe mo hono kaumeʻa ko Nātanielá naʻa nau toe hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻa Sīsū ko e Mīsaiá ia. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe ueʻi ai ʻa Nātaniela ke ne pehē kia Sīsū: “Ko koe ia ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtua; ko e Tuʻi Isileli koe.”—Sione 1:35-50 (Sio 1:35-49, PM).
Ueʻi ki he Ngāue
10. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e kau ākongá ʻi he taimi naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Sīsū ʻo fakaafeʻi kinautolu ʻi ha taimi hili ʻene ʻuluaki fetaulaki mo kinautolú?
10 Ko e fiefia naʻe hokosia ʻe ʻAnitelū, Pita, Sione mo e niʻihi kehé ʻi heʻenau ʻiloʻi ʻa e Mīsaiá ʻe fakahoa nai ia ki he fiefia naʻe hokosia ʻe he mēsianiti fefonongaʻakí ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi ʻa e mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahí. Ko e hā te nau fai he taimi ko ení? ʻOku ʻikai ke tala mai ʻe he ngaahi Kōsipelí ha meʻa lahi fekauʻaki mo e meʻa naʻa nau fai ʻi he hili pē ʻenau ʻuluaki fetaulaki ko eni mo Sīsuú. Ngalingali, ko e tokolahi taha ʻo kinautolú naʻa nau toe foki pē ki heʻenau ʻalunga moʻui anga-mahení. Kae kehe, ʻi ha māhina nai ʻe ono ki ha taʻu ki mui ai, naʻe toe fetaulaki ai ʻa Sīsū mo ʻAnitelū, Pita, Sione mo e tokoua ʻo Sione ko Sēmisí ʻi heʻenau ngāue toutaí ʻi he Tahi Kālelí.a ʻI he sio kia kinautolú, naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: ‘Mou ōmi ʻo muimui ʻiate au, pea te u ngaohi kimoutolu ko e kau toutai tangata.’ Ko e hā ʻenau talí? ʻI he fekauʻaki mo Pita mo ʻAniteluú, ʻoku pehē ʻe he fakamatala ʻa Mātiú: “Pea na liʻaki leva hona kupenga, ʻo na muimui kiate ia.” Fekauʻaki mo Sēmisi pea mo Sioné, ʻoku tau lau: “Pea na tuku leva ʻa e vaka mo ʻena tamai, ʻo na muimui kiate ia.” ʻOku tānaki mai ʻi he fakamatala ʻa Luké naʻa nau “liʻaki [ʻa e meʻa] kotoa pe ʻo muimui kiate ia.”—Mātiu 4:18-22; Luke 5:1-11.
11. Ko e hā ʻoku ngalingali ko e ʻuhinga ia ki he tali vave ʻa e kau ākongá ki he fakaafe ʻa Sīsuú?
11 Ko e tali vave ʻa e kau ākongá, ko ha foʻi fili fakavavevave pē ia? ʻIkai ʻaupito! Neongo naʻa nau toe foki ki heʻenau ngāue toutai fakafāmilí hili ʻenau ʻuluaki fetuʻutaki mo Sīsuú, ʻoku ʻikai ha veiveiua ko e meʻa naʻa nau sio ki ai mo fanongoa ʻi he taimi ko iá naʻe hoko ʻo maongo loloto ia ki honau lotó mo e ʻatamaí. Ko e mahili atu ʻo ha meimei taʻu ʻe tahá naʻe fakaʻatā ai kia kinautolu ʻa e taimi lahi ke sioloto ai ki he ngaahi meʻa ko iá. Ko e taimi leva eni ke fai ai ha filí. Te nau hangē ko e mēsianiti fefonongaʻakí ʻa ia naʻe ueʻi lahi hono lotó ʻi hono ʻiloʻi ʻa e mataʻitofe mahuʻinga taʻehanotataú ʻo hoko ai hangē ko hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe Sīsuú, “naʻa ne ʻalu [leva]” ʻo fai ʻa e meʻa kuo pau ke ne faí ke fakatau mai ʻaki ʻa e mataʻitofe ko iá? ʻIo. Ko e meʻa naʻa nau mātā mo fanongoá naʻá ne ueʻi honau lotó. Naʻa nau ʻiloʻi kuo hoko ʻa e taimi ke fai ai ʻa e ngāué. Ko ia ai, hangē ko ia ʻoku tala mai ʻe he fakamatalá, naʻa nau tukuange ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻo ʻikai toe tatali pea nau hoko ko e kau muimui ʻo Sīsū.
12, 13. (a) ʻI he founga fē naʻe taliʻaki ʻe he tokolahi ʻa ia naʻa nau fanongo kia Sīsuú? (e) Ko e hā naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū fekauʻaki mo ʻene kau ākonga faitōnungá, pea ko e hā ʻoku fakahuʻunga ki ai ʻi heʻene ngaahi leá?
12 He kehe moʻoni ē ko e faʻahinga faitōnunga ko ení mei he niʻihi kehe naʻe lave ki ai ki mui ʻi he ngaahi fakamatala Kōsipelí! Naʻe tokolahi ʻa e faʻahinga naʻe fakamoʻui pe fafanga ʻe Sīsū ka naʻa nau hokohoko atu pē ʻenau ngaahi ngāue ʻanautolú. (Luke 17:17, 18; Sione 6:26) Naʻe aʻu ʻo kōlenga ʻa e niʻihi ke tukuange kinautolu ʻi he taimi naʻe fakaafeʻi ai kinautolu ʻe Sīsū ke nau hoko ko hono kau muimuí. (Luke 9:59-62) ʻI he kehe ʻaupitó, naʻe pehē ki mui ʻe Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga faitōnungá: “Talu mei he gaahi aho o Jone koe Babitaiso o aʻu ki he aho ni, oku fai malohi ki he buleaga oe lagi, bea oku lavaʻi fakamalohi ia e he kau malohi.”—Mātiu 11:12, PM.
13 “Fai malohi” mo e “lavaʻi fakamalohi”—ko e hā ʻoku fakahuʻunga ʻi he ongo kupuʻi lea ko ení? ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e foʻi veape faka-Kalisi ʻa ia ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻa e ongo kupuʻi leá ni, ʻoku pehē ʻe he Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words: “ʻOku fokotuʻu mai ʻe he foʻi veapé ʻa e feinga mālohi.” Pea ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e vēsí ni, ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he mataotao Tohi Tapu ko Heinrich Meyer: “ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he foungá ni ʻa e feinga mo e fāinga vēkeveke, taʻealatalitekeʻi ko ia ki he puleʻanga faka-Mīsaia naʻe fakaofiofi maí . . . Ko e mahuʻingaʻia fekauʻaki mo e puleʻangá naʻe mātuʻaki vēkeveke mo longomoʻui (ʻo ʻikai kei nonga mo ʻamanaki pē ki ai).” ʻI he hangē ko e mēsianiti fefonongaʻakí, ko e faʻahinga tāutaha tokosiʻi ko ení naʻa nau ʻiloʻi vave ʻa e meʻa naʻe mahuʻinga moʻoní, pea naʻa nau tukuange loto-lelei ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻa nau maʻú koeʻuhi ko e Puleʻangá.—Mātiu 19:27, 28; Filipai 3:8.
Kau ʻa e Niʻihi Kehe ʻi he Kumí
14. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono teuʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kau ʻapositoló ki he ngāue malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá, pea ko e hā ʻa e olá?
14 ʻI he hokohoko atu ʻa Sīsū ʻi heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú, naʻá ne akoʻi mo tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau kakapa atu ki he Puleʻangá. ʻUluakí, naʻá ne fili ʻa e toko 12 mei he lotolotonga ʻo ʻene kau ākongá pea vaheʻi kinautolu ko e kau ʻapositolo, pe ko e faʻahinga naʻá ne fekauʻi. Naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsū ki he faʻahingá ni ʻa e ngaahi fakahinohino fakaikiiki ki he founga ke nau fakahoko ʻaki ʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú pea pehē ki he ngaahi fakatokanga fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi pole mo e faingataʻa naʻe toka mei muʻá. (Mātiu 10:1-42; Luke 6:12-16) ʻI he taʻu ʻe ua hoko maí pe ofi ki ai, naʻa nau ʻalu fakataha ai mo Sīsū ʻi heʻene ngaahi fononga fakamalangá ʻi he kotoa ʻo e fonuá, ʻo nau maʻu ha vahaʻangatae vāofi mo ia. Naʻa nau fanongo ki heʻene ngaahi talá, siotonu heʻene ngaahi maná, pea sio ʻi heʻene faʻifaʻitakiʻangá tonu. (Mātiu 13:16, 17) Ko e ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa ʻoku ʻikai ha veiveiua naʻe maongo loloto kia kinautolu, ʻo lahi ʻaupito he ʻi he hangē ko e mēsianiti fefonongaʻakí, naʻa nau faivelenga mo ʻaufuatō ʻi heʻenau ngāue ki he Puleʻangá.
15. Ko e ha naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū ko e ʻuhinga moʻoni ia ke fiefia ai ʻa hono kau muimuí?
15 Tānaki atu ki he kau ʻapositolo ʻe toko 12, naʻe hanga ʻe Sīsū ʻo “fakanofo . . . ha niʻihi kehe ʻe toko fitungofulu, ʻo ne fekau atu kinautolu, ʻo tautau toko ua, ke fakamelomelo kiate ia ki he kolo taki taha mo e potu ʻoku ne teu ʻalu ki ai ʻe ia.” Naʻá ne toe talanoa kia kinautolu fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi pea mo e ngaahi faingataʻa mei muʻá pea fakahinohinoʻi ke nau tala ki he kakaí: “Kuo ofi mai kiate kimoutolu ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtua.” (Luke 10:1-12) ʻI he foki mai ʻa e toko 70, naʻa nau fiefia lahi pea ʻoange kia Sīsū ʻa e līpōtí ni: “ʻEiki, naʻa mo e kau tevolo ʻoku nau vaivai kiate kimautolu koeʻuhi ko ho huafa.” Kae mahalo pē ʻi heʻenau ʻohovalé, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū naʻe tuku tauhi mai ha fiefia lahi ange kia kinautolu koeʻuhi ko ʻenau faivelenga maʻá e Puleʻangá. Naʻá ne tala ange: “ʻOua te mou fiefia ʻi he meʻa ko ia, ʻa e vaivai ʻa e ngaahi faʻahikehe kiate kimoutolu; ka ko e meʻa ke mo u fiefia ai, ko e tuʻu ʻa homou ngaahi hingoa ʻi he tohi ʻi Hevani.”—Luke 10:17, 20.
16, 17. (a) Ko e hā naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ʻapositolo faitōnungá ʻi he pō fakaʻosi naʻá ne nofo ai mo kinautolú? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e fiefia mo e fakapapau naʻe ʻomai ʻe he ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú ki heʻene kau ʻapositoló?
16 Fakaʻosí, ʻi he pō fakaʻosi naʻe nofo ai ʻa Sīsū mo ʻene kau ʻapositoló, ʻa Nīsani 14, 33 T.S., naʻá ne fokotuʻu ai ʻa e meʻa naʻe hoko ʻo ʻiloa ko e Kai Efiafi ʻa e ʻEikí pea fekauʻi ke nau fakamanatu ʻa e meʻa ko iá. Lolotonga ʻa e efiafí, naʻe tala ai ʻe Sīsū ki he toko 11 naʻe kei nofo aí: “Ko kimoutolu ia kuo nofoʻi maʻu mo au ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻahiʻahi. Pea ko au ʻoku ou tuʻutuʻuni ha puleʻanga moʻomoutolu, ʻo hange ko e tuʻutuʻuni ha puleʻanga moʻoku ʻe heʻeku ʻEiki: ke mou kai mo inu ʻi heʻeku tepile ʻi hoku puleʻanga, pea nofo ki ha ngaahi taloni, ʻo fakamāuʻi ʻa e matakali ʻe hongofulumaua ʻo Isileli.”—Luke 22:19, 20, 28-30.
17 He fiefia mo e fiemālie ē kuo pau naʻe fakafonuʻaki honau lotó ʻi he fanongo ʻa e kau ʻapositoló ki he ngaahi lea ko ia meia Sīsuú! Naʻe ʻoange kia kinautolu ʻa e lāngilangi mo e monū māʻolunga taha ʻe lava ke maʻu ʻe ha tangatá. (Mātiu 7:13, 14; 1 Pita 2:9) ʻI he hangē ko e tokotaha mēsianiti fefonongaʻakí, naʻa nau tukuange ʻa e meʻa lahi ke muimui ai ʻia Sīsū ʻi he ngāue ʻo e Puleʻangá. Naʻe fakapapauʻi kia kinautolu he taimi ko ení ko e ngaahi feilaulau naʻa nau faí kuo ʻikai ke kulanoa.
18. Ko hai tuku kehe ʻa e kau ʻapositolo ʻe toko 11 ʻe faifai pē ʻo nau toe maʻu ʻaonga mei he Puleʻangá?
18 Ko e kau ʻapositolo naʻe ʻi ai mo Sīsū ʻi he pō ko iá naʻe ʻikai ko kinautolu pē ʻa e faʻahinga ʻe maʻu ʻaonga mei he Puleʻangá.

“Koe ogoogolelei ni oe buleaga e malaga aki i mamani kotoabe, koe mea fakamooni.”—Mātiu 24:14, PM.

KO E Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ko ha kaveinga mahuʻinga lahi ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Siú ʻi he taimi naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Sīsū ki he māmaní. (Mātiu 3:1, 2; 4:23-25; Sione 1:49) Kae kehe, ʻi he ʻuluaki taimí, naʻe ʻikai ke mahinoʻi kakato ai ʻe he tokolahi taha ʻo kinautolú ʻa hono lahí mo hono mālohí; pea naʻe ʻikai te nau mahinoʻi ʻe hoko ia ko ha founga-pule fakahēvani.
