Sīsū—Ko ʻEne Moʻuí mo ʻEne Ngāue Fakafaifekau
Ko e Fatongia ʻo e Tuʻunga-Ākongá
ʻI he hili ʻa e mavahe mei he fale ʻo ha Fālesi ʻiloa, ʻa ia ʻoku hā ngalingali ko ha mēmipa ia ʻo e Sanetalimí, ʻoku hoko atu ʻa Sīsū ki Selusalema. ʻOku muimui ha fuʻu kakai tokolahi ʻiate ia. Ka ko e hā ʻa ʻenau ngaahi taumuʻá? Ko hono moʻoní ko e hā ʻoku kaunga ki he hoko ko ʻene tokotaha muimui moʻoní?
ʻI he fai atu ʻo ʻenau fonongá, ʻoku hanga ʻa Sīsū ki he fuʻu kakai tokolahí pea ʻoku nau ʻohovale nai ʻi heʻene pehē: “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke fehiʻa ʻe ha tangata ki heʻene tamai, mo ʻene faʻe, mo hono uaifi, mo ʻene fanau, mo hono ngaahi tokoua, mo hono ngaahi tuofāfine, ʻio mo ʻene moʻui aʻana foki, neongo ʻene haʻu kiate au ka ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa hoko ko ʻeku ako.”
Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻa Sīsuú? ʻOku ʻikai ko e ʻuhinga ia ke fehiʻa moʻoni ʻa hono kau muimuí ki honau ngaahi kāingá. Ka ke nau fehiʻa ʻiate kinautolu ʻi he ʻuhinga ke siʻi ange ʻenau ʻofa kiate kinautolú ʻi he ʻofa kiate iá. Naʻe pehē ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻulumotuʻa ʻo Sīsū ko Sēkope naʻá ne “fehiʻa” kia Lia kae ʻofa kia Lesieli, ʻa ia ko hono ʻuhingá naʻe siʻi ange ʻa e ʻofa kia Liá ʻi hono tokoua ko Lesielí.
Fakakaukau ange foki naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ʻoku totonu ke fehiʻa ʻe ha ākonga ki he “ʻene moʻui aʻana” pē. ʻOku toe ʻuhinga heni ʻa Sīsū kuo pau ke ʻofa lahi ange kiate Ia ʻe ha ākonga moʻoni ʻi heʻene ʻofa ki he moʻui pē ʻaʻaná. ʻOku fakamamafaʻi ʻe Sīsū ko e hoko ko ʻene ākongá ko ha fatongia mamafa. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ke fai ʻo taʻe fai ha fakakaukau lelei ki ai.
Ko e faingataʻá mo e fakatangá ʻoku kau ia ʻi he hoko ko e ākonga ʻa Sīsuú, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻokú ne hoko atu ke fakahaaʻí: “Pea ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ne fua ʻene ʻakau fakamamahí, ʻo muimui kiate aú, heʻikai malava ke ne hoko ko ʻeku ākonga.” Ko ia ai, kuo pau ke loto-lelei ʻe ha ākonga moʻoni ke ne foua ʻa e kavenga ʻo e manukiʻanga tatau naʻe kātekina ʻe Sīsuú, ʻo kau ai, kapau ʻoku fiemaʻu, ʻa e mate ʻi he nima ʻo e ngaahi fili ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia kuo vave ke hoko kia Sīsuú.
Ko ia ai, ko e hoko ko e ākonga ʻa Sīsuú, ko ha meʻa ke fakakaukau fakalelei ki ai ʻa e fuʻu kakai tokolahi ʻoku nau muimui kiate iá. ʻOku fakamamafaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ʻení ʻi ha fakatātā: “ʻE, tau lau ʻoku ai hamou toko taha ʻoku ne loto ke langa ha fuʻu taua, ʻikai te ne nofo muʻa ʻo fatu hono totongi, pe ʻoku feʻunga ʻene paʻanga mo hono fai ke ʻosi? Naʻa ʻiloange, kuo hili ʻene ʻai ʻa e tuʻunga, ʻoku ʻikai te ne lava ke fakaʻosi; pea ko e kakai kotoa pē te nau sio ki ai te nau hanga ʻo lumaʻi ia, heʻenau pehē, Uē! ko e siana ni naʻa ne kamata ke langa, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne lava ke fakaʻosi!”
Ko ia ʻoku fakatātaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ki he fuʻu kakai tokolahi ʻoku nau muimui kiate iá ʻoku totonu ke nau fili fakapapau ʻi he ki muʻa ke hoko ko ʻene kau ākongá pe ʻe lava ke nau fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fekauʻaki mo iá, ʻo hangē pē ko ha tangata ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ne langa ha taua ʻokú ne fakapapauʻi ki muʻa ke ne kamatá ʻokú ne maʻu ha paʻanga feʻunga ke fakaʻosiʻaki ia. ʻOku hoko atu ʻe Sīsū ʻaki ʻene toe ʻai mo ha fakatātā ʻe taha:
“Pea tau lau ko ha tuʻi ʻoku ne ʻalu ke fakahoko ʻa e tau mo ha tuʻi ʻe taha, ʻikai te ne nofo muʻa ʻo fifili, pe te ne lava mo ʻene taha mano ke tali ʻa e ʻeiki ʻoku haʻu ke tauʻi ia mo ha ua mano? Pea ka hā ʻe ʻikai, pea lolotonga ʻoku kei mamaʻo ʻa e fili te ne fekau atu ha fakafofonga ke kole ʻa e fakalelei.”
ʻOku toki fakamamafaʻi leva ʻe Sīsū ʻa e taumuʻa ʻo ʻene ngaahi fakatātaá, ʻaki ʻene pehē: “Pehē foki, ʻilonga kimoutolu ʻoku ʻikai te ne fai ʻene tatau ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pe ʻoku aʻana, ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa hoko ko ʻeku ako.” Ko e meʻa ia kuo pau ke loto-lelei ʻe he fuʻu kakai tokolahi ʻoku muimui kiate iá ke nau faí, pea pehē ki he tokotaha kotoa pē ʻokú ne ako ʻo fekauʻaki mo Kalaisí. Kuo pau ke nau mateuteu ke feilaulauʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau maʻú—ʻenau ngaahi koloá, kau ai mo e moʻuí tonu pē—kapau te nau hoko ko ʻene kau ākonga. ʻOkú ke loto-lelei ke fai ʻa e meʻa ko ʻení?
ʻOku hoko atu ʻe Sīsū, “Ko e meʻa ʻaonga ʻa e masima.” ʻI heʻene Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá naʻá ne pehē ko ʻene kau ākongá ko e “masima o mamani,” ko hono ʻuhingá ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ha ivi fakatolonga ki he kakaí, ʻo hangē pē ko e māsimá ko e meʻa fakatolonga. ʻOku fakaʻosiʻaki ʻe Sīsū: “Ka ʻo ka mole mei he masima foki hono kona, pea ʻe fakamahimahiʻaki ia ʻa e hā? ʻOku ʻikai tāu ke laku ki he ngoue, pe ki he tuʻungaveve: ka ʻoku laku pe kituaʻā. Ko ia ʻoku maʻu telinga ke ongoʻaki, ke ne ongoʻi.”
Ko ia ʻoku fakahā ʻe Sīsū naʻa mo kinautolu kuo nau hoko fuoloa ko ʻene kau ākongá kuo pau ke ʻoua te nau fakavaivai ʻi heʻenau fakapapau ke hoko atú. Kapau te nau hoko ʻo pehē, te nau hoko ʻo taʻeʻaonga, ko ha lumaʻanga ki he māmani ko ʻení pea taʻefeʻunga ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá, ko hono moʻoní, ko e manukiʻanga ia ki he ʻOtuá. Ko ia, ʻo hangē ko e masima kuo mole hono koná, pe kuo ʻuliʻi, ʻe lī kinautolu ki tuaʻā, ʻio, ʻo fakaʻauha. Luke 14:25-35; Sēnesi 29:30-33; Mātiu 5:13.
