‘Mou Feʻofaʻaki’
“Ko e meʻa kó é ʻe ʻilo ai ʻe he kakai kotoa pe ko e kau ako kimoutolu aʻaku, ʻo kapau ʻe ai haʻamou feʻofaʻaki.”—SIONE 13:35.
1. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻulungaanga naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi he taimi nounou ki muʻa ʻi heʻene pekiá?
“SIʻI fānau.” (Sione 13:33) ʻI he fakalea anga-ʻofa ko iá, naʻe lea ai ʻa Sīsū ki heʻene kau ʻapositoló ʻi he efiafi ki muʻa ʻi heʻene pekiá. ʻOku ʻikai te tau maʻu ha lēkooti ʻi he ngaahi fakamatala Kōsipelí naʻe faifai ange pea ngāueʻaki ʻe Sīsū ki muʻa ʻa e fakalea manavaʻofa ko ení ʻi heʻene lea kia kinautolú. Kae kehe, ʻi he pō makehe ko iá, naʻe ueʻi ai ia ke ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e kupuʻi lea ʻofa ko ení ke fakahaaʻiʻaki ʻa e ʻofa loloto naʻá ne ongoʻi ki hono kau muimuí. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe lea ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e ʻofá ʻo tuʻo 30 nai ʻi he pō ko iá. Ko e hā naʻá ne fai ai ʻa e fakamamafa pehē ki he ʻulungaanga ko ení?
2. Ko e hā ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ai ki he kau Kalisitiané ʻa hono fakahāhā ʻo e ʻofá?
2 Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ai ʻa e ʻofá. “Ko e meʻa kó é,” ko ʻene leá ia, “ʻe ʻilo ai ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ko e kau ako kimoutolu aʻaku, ʻo kapau ʻe ai haʻamou feʻofaʻaki.” (Sione 13:35; 15:12, 17) Ko e hoko ko ha muimui ʻo Kalaisí ʻoku fetakinima ia mo hono fakahaaʻi ʻo e ʻofa fakatokouá. ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻa e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní, ʻo ʻikai ʻi ha faʻahinga teunga makehe pe ko ha ngaahi tōʻonga anga-kehe, ka ʻi he ʻofa māfana mo fakaalaala ʻoku nau fefakahāhāʻakí. Ko hono maʻu ʻa e ʻofa tuʻu-ki-muʻa ko ení ko e meʻa hono ua ia ʻo e ngaahi fiemaʻu tefito ʻe tolu mei ha ākonga ʻa Kalaisi naʻe lave ki ai ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e kupu ki muʻá. Ko e hā te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke hokohoko atu ke aʻusia ʻa e fiemaʻu ko ení?
“Tubulekina Lahi Aupito Ai”
3. Ko e hā ʻa e enginaki fekauʻaki mo e ʻofá naʻe fai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá?
3 Hangē ko ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau muimui ʻo Kalaisi ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí, ko e ʻofa tuʻu-ki-muʻa ko ení ʻoku hā mahino ia he ʻahó ni ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau ākonga moʻoni ʻa Kalaisí. Ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí, naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Koe mea i he ofa fakakaiga [“fakatokouá,” NW], oku ikai aoga ae tohi ai kiate kimoutolu: he kuo mou akonekina mei he Otua ke feofaaki kiate kimoutolu. Bea koe mooni oku mou fai ia ki he kaiga [“fanga tokoua,” NW] kotoabe.” Naʻa mo ia, naʻe tānaki mai ʻe Paula: “Ke mou tubulekina lahi aubito ai.” (1 Tesalonaika 3:12; 4:9, 10, PM) Ko kitautolu foki ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau tokanga ki he enginaki ʻa Paulá pea feinga ke fakahāhā ʻa e feʻofaʻakí ʻo “lahi aubito.”
4. Fakatatau kia Paula mo Sīsū, ko hai ʻoku totonu ke tau fai ki ai ha tokanga makehé?
4 ʻI he tohi fakamānavaʻi tatau, naʻe fakalototoʻaʻi ai ʻe Paula ʻa hono kaungātuí ke nau “lōtaki ʻa e lotosiʻi” pea ke “poupou ʻa e vaivai.” (1 Tesalonaika 5:14) ʻI he taimi ʻe taha, naʻá ne fakamanatu ai ki he kau Kalisitiané ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku “malohi oku totonu ke tau kataki ae gaahi vaivai oe vaivai.” (Loma 15:1, PM) Ko Sīsū foki naʻá ne fai ʻa e ngaahi fakahinohino ʻo fekauʻaki mo hono tokoniʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku vaivaí. Hili hono tomuʻa tala ko e pō ko ia ʻo hono puké ʻe liʻaki ia ʻe Pitá, naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū kia Pita: “ʻO ka ke ka toki foki mai, ke ke poupou ʻe koe ho ngaahi tokoua.” Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhí he te nau toe liʻaki ʻa Sīsū pea te nau fiemaʻu ai ha tokoni. (Luke 22:32; Sione 21:15-17) Ko ia ai, ko e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku fakahinohinoʻi ai kitautolu ke fakalahi atu ʻetau ʻofá ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau vaivai fakalaumālié pea kuo ʻikai te nau kei fetuʻutaki mo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané. (Hepelu 12:12) Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau fai peheé? Ko e talanoa fakatātā maeʻeeʻa ʻe ua naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ʻoku ʻomai ai ʻa e talí.

5 Ke akoʻi ki heʻene kau fanongó ʻa e vakai ʻa Sihova ki he faʻahinga kuo heé, naʻe fai ai ʻe Sīsū ha talanoa fakatātā nounou ʻe ua. Ko e taha naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo ha tauhi-sipi. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Tau lau ko e toko taha ʻiate kimoutolu, ko e tangata, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻene fanga sipi ʻe toko teau pea kuo mole hanau taha, ʻikai te ne tuku ʻa e toko hivangofulu ma hiva ʻi he toafa, ka ne ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻa ia kuo mole kaeʻoua ke ne ʻilo ʻa e toko taha ko ia? Pea ka ʻilo leva ia, te ne fiefia, mo fua ia ʻi hono uma oʻona. Pea ʻi heʻene aʻu ki ʻapi, te ne fakataha hono ngaahi kaumeʻa, mo hono ngaahi kaungaʻapi, mo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, Tau fakafiefia; he kuo u ʻilo ʻeku sipi naʻe mole.

6 Ko e talanoa fakatātā hono uá naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo ha fefine. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Pea tau lau ko ha toko taha kehe, ko ha fefine, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻene paʻanga ʻe hongofulu; pea ka mole ha foʻi paʻanga ʻe taha, ʻikai te ne tutu ha māma, pea tafi ʻa e fale, ʻo kumi fakamātoato kaeʻoua ke ʻilo? Pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo leva te ne fakataha ʻa e kau fefine ʻoku nau kaumeʻa, mo e kaungaʻapi, mo ne pehē, Tau fakafiefia: he kuo u ʻilo ʻa e paʻanga naʻe mole. Tala atu, ʻe hoko ha fiefia pehē ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e kau angelo ʻa e ʻOtua ʻi he fakatomala ʻa ha foʻi angahala ʻe toko taha.”—Luke 15:8-10.
7. Ko e hā ʻa e ongo lēsoni ʻoku ʻi he talanoa fakatātā fekauʻaki mo e sipi pea mo e paʻanga ne molé maʻa kitautolú?

Tau vakai angé ki he ongo poini ko ení.

8 ʻI he ongo talanoa fakatātaá fakatouʻosi naʻe ʻi ai ha meʻa naʻe mole, kae fakatokangaʻi angé ʻa e ongoʻi ʻa e ongo meʻa naʻe ʻanauá. Naʻe ʻikai ke pehē ʻe he tauhi-sipí: ‘Ko e hā hake ʻa e sipi ʻe taha lolotonga ia ʻoku ou kei maʻu ʻa e 99? ʻOku ʻikai te u fiemaʻu ʻe au ia.’ Naʻe ʻikai ke pehē ʻe he fefiné: ‘Ko e hā ke hohaʻa ai fekauʻaki mo e foʻi paʻanga ko ia ʻe tahá? ʻOku ou fiemālie pē au he hiva ʻoku ou kei maʻú.’ ʻI hono kehé, naʻe kumi ʻa e tauhi-sipí ki heʻene sipi ne molé ʻo hangē ko e taha pē ia naʻá ne maʻú. Pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he fefiné ʻa e mole ʻo ʻene foʻi paʻangá ʻo hangē ia ne ʻikai toe ʻi ai haʻane paʻanga kehé. ʻI he ongo tuʻungá fakatouʻosi ko e meʻa ne puliá naʻe kei mahuʻinga pē ia ʻi he ʻatamai ʻo e tokotaha ʻoku ʻaʻaná. Ko e hā ʻoku fakatātaaʻi ʻe he meʻá ni?
9. Ko e hā ʻoku fakatātaaʻi ʻe he hohaʻa naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he tauhi-sipí pea mo e fefiné?
9 Fakatokangaʻi ʻa e fakamulituku ʻa Sīsū ʻi he ongo tuʻungá fakatouʻosi: “Tala atu, ʻe pehē ha fiefia ʻi he langi ʻi he fakatomala ʻa ha foʻi angahala e toko taha” pea “tala atu, ʻe hoko ha fiefia pehē ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e kau angelo ʻa e ʻOtua ʻi he fakatomala ʻa ha foʻi angahala ʻe toko taha.” Ko ia ai, ko e hohaʻa ʻa e tauhi-sipí pea mo e fefiné ʻoku tapua mei ai, ʻi ha tuʻunga siʻisiʻi, ʻa e ongoʻi ʻa Sihova mo ʻene ngaahi meʻamoʻui fakahēvaní. Hangē tofu pē ko e kei mahuʻinga ai pē ʻa e meʻa ne molé ʻi he vakai ʻa e tauhi-sipí pea mo e fefiné, ʻoku pehē pē ʻa e kei mahuʻinga ai pē ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia kuo nau tēkina mamaʻo ʻo mole ʻenau fetuʻutaki mo e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻafio mai ʻa Sihová. (Selemaia 31:3) Ko e faʻahinga tāutaha peheé ʻoku nau vaivai fakalaumālie nai, neongo ia ʻoku ʻikai pehē ia ai kuo nau angatuʻu. Neongo ʻa honau tuʻunga vaivaí, ʻoku nau kei tauhi pē nai ʻi ha tuʻunga ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻa Sihová. (Sāme 119:176; Ngāue 15:29) Ko ia ai, hangē ko ia ʻi he kuohilí, ʻoku tuai ʻa Sihova ke “liʻaki kinautolu mei hono ʻao.”—2 Tuʻi 13:23.

10 Hangē ko Sihova mo Sīsuú, ko kitautolu foki ʻoku tau hohaʻa lahi fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau vaivai pea pulia mei he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané. (Isikeli 34:16; Luke 19:10) ʻOku tau vakai ki ha tokotaha vaivai fakalaumālie ko ha sipi kuo mole—ʻikai ko ha ʻamanaki kuo mole. ʻOku ʻikai te tau fakaʻuhinga: ‘Ko e hā ke hohaʻa ai fekauʻaki mo ha tokotaha vaivai? ʻOku lele lelei pē ʻa e fakatahaʻangá ia ʻo ʻikai fiemaʻu ia.’ ʻI hono kehé, hangē ko Sihová, ʻoku tau vakai ki he faʻahinga ko ia kuo nau tēkina mamaʻo ka ʻoku nau loto ke toe foki maí ʻoku nau mahuʻinga.

12. Ko e hā ʻoku tala mai kia kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi foʻi lea “ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻa ia kuo mole” ʻo fekauʻaki mo e fakakaukau ʻa e tauhi-sipí?
12 ʻI he ʻuluaki ʻo e ongo talanoa fakatātaá, ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sīsū ko e tauhi-sipí te ne “ʻalu ʻo kumi ʻa ia kuo mole.” ʻOku tamuʻomuʻa ʻa e tauhi-sipí ʻo ne fai ha feinga pau ke maʻu ʻa e sipi ne puliá. Ko e faingataʻá, fakatuʻutāmakí, mo e mamaʻó ʻoku ʻikai te ne taʻofi ia. ʻI hono kehé, ʻoku kīvoi ʻa e tauhi-sipí “kaeʻoua ke ne ʻilo ʻa e toko taha ko ia.”—Luke 15:4.

13 ʻI he tuʻunga tatau, ko hono tokoniʻi ha tokotaha ʻokú ne fiemaʻu ʻa e fakalototoʻá ʻoku faʻa fiemaʻu ke tamuʻomuʻa ʻa e tokotaha mālohi angé. Ko e kau tangata loto-tōnunga ʻo e kuonga muʻá naʻa nau mahinoʻi eni. Hangē ko ení, ʻi he taimi naʻe fakatokangaʻi ai ʻe Sionatane, ko e foha ʻo Tuʻi Saulá, ko hono kaumeʻa fekoekoeʻi ko Tēvitá naʻá ne fiemaʻu ha fakalototoʻá, naʻe “tuʻu ʻa Sionatane foha ʻo Saula, ʻo ne ʻalu kia Tevita ki he vao, ʻo ne poupou hono nima ʻi he ʻOtua.” (1 Samiuela 23:15, 16) ʻI ha ngaahi senituli ki mui ai, ʻi he taimi naʻe sio ai ʻa Kōvana Nehemaia ko e niʻihi ʻo hono fanga tokoua Siú ne nau hoko ʻo vaivaí, ko ia foki naʻá ne “toki tuʻu” hake ʻo fakalototoʻaʻi kinautolu ke nau ‘manatua ʻa Sihova.’ (Nehemaia 4:14) Ko kitautolu ʻi he ʻaho ní te tau toe loto ke ‘tuʻu hake’—ʻo tamuʻomuʻa—ke fakaivimālohiʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku vaivaí. Ka ko hai ʻi he fakatahaʻangá ʻoku totonu ke ne fai iá?

14 Ko e kau mātuʻa Kalisitiané ʻoku tautefito ʻenau maʻu ʻa e fatongia ke “poupou ʻa e ngaahi nima ʻoku vaivai, pea pukepuke ʻa e ngaahi tui ʻoku tete” pea ke “lea ki he kakai ʻoku tateme honau loto, Mou fakamaʻu hifo, ʻoua ʻe manavahe.” (Aisea 35:3, 4; 1 Pita 5:1, 2) Kae kehe, fakatokangaʻi ange, ko e enginaki ʻa Paula ke “lōtaki ʻa e lotosiʻi” pea “poupou ʻa e vaivai” naʻe ʻikai fai ia ki he kau mātuʻá pē. ʻI hono kehé, ko e ngaahi lea ʻa Paulá naʻe fakahanga ia ki he “siasi ko ia ʻo e kakai Tesalonaika” fakakātoa.
