Fili Taʻefakapotopoto ʻa ha Pule Koloaʻia
KO E tokotaha lotu, tauhi-lao pea mo anga-tōnunga ʻa e pule koloaʻia kei talavoú ni. ʻI heʻene haʻu kia Sīsuú, naʻá ne tūʻulutui ʻo fehuʻi ange: “ʻA e Tangataʻeiki lelei, ko e ha te u fai, kae tō moʻoku ʻa e moʻui taengata”?
Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi heʻene talí, ko e moʻuí ʻe maʻu ia ʻi hono tauhi ʻe he tangatá ʻa e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI heʻene fehuʻi ange pe ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni feé, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sīsū: “Oua naa ke fakabo, Oua naa ke tono fefine, Oua naa ke kaihaa, Oua naa ke fakamooni loi, Fakaabaaba ki hoo tamai mo hoo faʻe: bea, Ke ofa ki ho kaugaabi o hage be ko koe.” Ko e ngaahi tefitoʻi fekau eni naʻe ʻi he Lao naʻe ʻoange kia Mōsesé. Naʻe pehē ange leva ʻe he tangatá ni: “Kuou fai kotoabe eni talu eku kei jii: koeha oku ou kei hala ai?”—Mātiu 19:16-20, PM.
Naʻe “ʻofa [ʻa Sīsū] kiate ia” peá ne pehē: “Koe mea e taha oku ke kei hala ai: ke ke alu, o fakatau aia kotoabe oku aau, bea ke foaki ki he majiva, bea te ke maʻu ae koloa i he lagi: bea ke haʻu, o fua ae akau māfajia, mo muimui iate au.”—Maake 10:17-21, PM.
Naʻe fetaulaki fakafokifā e pule kei talavoú ni mo ha fili mafatukituki ka fai. Ko e hā te ne faí? Te ne tukuange loto-lelei ʻene ngaahi koloa fakamatelié kae hoko ko e muimui ʻo Sīsū, pe ko ʻene piki pē ki heʻene koloá? Te ne fili nai ke faʻoaki koloa ʻi māmani pe ko hēvani? ʻOku pau pē nai ko ha fili faingataʻa eni ki ai. Naʻe mahino pē ʻene mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālié, he naʻá ne tauhi ʻa e Laó peá ne toe ʻeke pe ko e hā mo ha toe meʻa ke ne fai ke maʻu ai ʻa e hōifua ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko e hā ʻa ʻene filí? Naʻá ne “foki kuo mamahi: he ko e toko taha ia naʻe maʻu meʻa lahi.”—Maake 10:22.
Ko e fili naʻe fai ʻe he pule kei talavoú ni naʻe taʻefakapotopoto. Kapau naʻá ne hoko ko ha muimui anga-tonu ʻo Sīsū, naʻe mei malava ke ne maʻu ʻa e meʻa ko ia naʻe kumi ki aí—ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá. ʻOku ʻikai ke tala mai pe ko e hā e meʻa naʻe hoko ki he talavoú ni. Kā, ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi, hili ha taʻu nai ʻe 40 mei ai, naʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻe he kau sōtia Lomá ʻa Selusalema mo e konga lahi ʻo Siutea. Tokolahi e kakai Siu naʻe mole ai ʻenau koloá pehē ki heʻenau moʻuí foki.
ʻI hono kehe mei he pule kei talavoú ni, naʻe fai ai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá mo e kau ākonga kehe ha fili fakapotopoto. Naʻa nau “liaki ʻa e meʻa kotoa” pea muimui kia Sīsū. He ʻaonga moʻoni ko e fili ko iá kiate kinautolu! Naʻe tala ange ʻe Sīsū te nau maʻu ʻo lōlahi ange ʻi he meʻa naʻa nau liʻakí. Ko e meʻa ʻe tahá, te nau maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengata. Naʻa nau fai ʻa e fili naʻe ʻikai ha toe fakaʻiseʻisa ai ki mui.—Mātiu 19:27-29.
ʻOku tau fehangahangai hono kotoa mo ha fili ke fai ʻi he moʻuí—ʻoku ongo maʻamaʻa e niʻihi, mafatukituki e niʻihi. Ko e hā e fakahinohino naʻe ʻomai ʻe Sīsū fekauʻaki mo hono fai ʻo ha fili pehē? Te ke tali ʻene faleʻí? ʻI hoʻo fili ke fai peheé, ʻe fakapaleʻi lahi ai koe. Tau vakai angé pe ʻe anga-fēfē ke tau muimui kia Sīsū mo maʻu e ʻaonga mei he meʻa naʻá ne leaʻakí.
