1. Neongo naʻá ne “loto mafana,” ko e hā naʻe fiemaʻu kia ʻApolosí?
KO Pīsila mo ʻAkuilá, ko ha ongo meʻa mali ʻi he ʻuluaki-senitulí, naʻá na siofi ʻa hono fai ʻe ʻApolosi ha lea ʻi ha sinakoke ʻi he kolo ko ʻEfesoó. ʻAki ʻene ngaahi lea pōtoʻí mo e mālohi ʻo e fakalotoʻí, naʻe maʻu mai ai ʻe ʻApolosi ʻa e tokanga ʻa ʻene kau fanongó. Naʻá ne “loto mafana,” pea naʻe “ako-totonu ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe kau kia Sisu.” Kae kehe, naʻe hā mahino ko ʻApolosí “ko e papitaiso pe ʻa Sione naʻa ne ʻilo ki ai.” Ko e meʻa naʻe malanga ʻaki ʻe ʻApolosi ʻo fekauʻaki mo Kalaisí naʻe moʻoni ka naʻe fakangatangata. Ko e palopalemá naʻe ʻikai ke ne hoko atu ke kakato. Naʻe fiemaʻu kia ʻApolosi ke ne fakatupulekina ʻene ʻilo ki he ngafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi hono fakahoko ʻo e taumuʻa ʻa Sihová.—Ngāue 18:24-26.
2. Ko e hā ʻa e pole naʻe tali ʻe Pīsila mo ʻAkuilá?
2 ʻI he ʻikai ha toumouá, naʻe fakafaingamālieʻi ʻe Pīsila mo ʻAkuila kinaua ke na tokoniʻi ʻa ʻApolosi ke hoko ko ha taha ʻoku malava ke ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e “ngāhi meʻa kotoa” naʻe tuʻutuʻuni mai ʻe Kalaisí. (Mātiu 28:19, 20) ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakamatalá naʻá na ʻave ʻa ʻApolosi ʻo “fakaafe ia, ʻo na fakamatala kiate ia ʻa e ʻalunga ʻo e lotu ʻa e ʻOtua ke mahuʻinga malie.” Kae kehe, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa fekauʻaki mo ʻApolosi naʻe mei malava ke ne taki ha kau Kalisitiane ke nau toumoua ke akoʻi ia. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa ko iá? Pea ko e hā ʻoku malava ke tau ako mei he ngaahi feinga ʻa Pīsila mo ʻAkuila ke fetalanoaʻaki mo ʻApolosi ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú? ʻE malava fēfē ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe ha fakamanatu ʻo e fakamatala fakahisitōliá ni ke tau tokangataha ai ki hono kamata ha ngaahi ako Tohitapu ʻi ʻapí?

3. Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai taʻofi ai ʻe he puipuituʻa ʻo ʻApolosí ʻa Pīsila mo ʻAkuila mei hono akoʻi iá?
3 ʻI he hoko ko ha hakoʻi Siú, ʻoku hā ngali naʻe tauhi hake ʻa ʻApolosi ʻi he kolo ko ʻAlekisanituliá. Ko ʻAlekisanituliá ko e kolomuʻa ia ʻo ʻIsipite ʻi he taimi ko iá pea ko ha senitā ʻo e akoʻanga māʻolungá, ʻo ongoongoa ʻi hono fuʻu laipeli lahí. Naʻe mau ʻe he koló ha fuʻu kau Siu tokolahi, ʻo kau ai ʻa e kau poto mataotao. Hangē ko ʻení, ko e liliu faka-Kalisi ʻo e Ngaahi Konga Tohitapu Faka-Hepeluú ʻoku ʻiloa ko e Septuagint naʻe faʻu ai. ʻOku ʻikai ha ofo ʻi he hoko ʻa ʻApolosi ʻo “poto lelei ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú”! Ko ʻAkuila mo Pīsilá ko ha ongo tuitui-tēniti. Naʻe hanga ʻe he pōtoʻi lea ʻa ʻApolosí ʻo fakalotosiʻi kinaua? ʻIkai. ʻI he ʻofá naʻá na fakakaukau ki he tokotahá ni, ko ʻene ngaahi fiemaʻú, pea mo e founga ʻe malava ke na tokoniʻi ai iá.
4. ʻI fē pea naʻe anga-fēfē hono maʻu ʻe ʻApolosi ʻa e tokoni naʻá ne fiemaʻú?
4 Tatau ai pē pe naʻe lahi fēfē ʻa e pōtoʻi lea ʻa ʻApolosí, naʻá ne fiemaʻu ʻa e fakahinohino. Ko e tokoni naʻá ne fiemaʻú naʻe ʻikai ke pehē ʻe maʻu ia ʻi ha ʻunivēsiti, ka naʻe maʻu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kaungā mēmipa ʻo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané. Naʻe ʻamanaki ke maʻu ʻe ʻApolosi ʻa e ʻaonga mei he ngaahi poini ʻa ia ʻe iku ai ki ha mahino totonu ange fekauʻaki mo e fokotuʻutuʻu ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he fakamoʻuí. Naʻe hanga ʻe Pīsila mo ʻAkuila ʻo “fakaafe ia, ʻo na fakamatala kiate ia ʻa e ʻalunga ʻo e lotu ʻa e ʻOtua ke mahuʻinga malie.”
5. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke ke leaʻaki fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga fakalaumālie ʻo Pīsila mo ʻAkuilá?
5 Ko Pīsila mo ʻAkuilá naʻá na mālohi fakalaumālie pea tuʻu-fakamakatuʻu ʻi he tuí. ʻOku hangehangē naʻá na ‘mateuteu maʻu pē ke na fai ha taukapo ʻi he ʻao ʻo e tokotaha kotoa te ne ʻekea kinaua fekauʻaki mo ha ʻuhinga ki heʻena ʻamanakí,’ ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko ha tangata koloaʻia, ko ha tokotaha masiva, ko ha poto mataotao, pe ko ha pōpula. (1 Pita 3:15, NW) Naʻe malava ʻe ʻAkuila mo hono uaifí ke na ‘tofa totonu ʻa e folofola ʻo e moʻoní.’ (2 Timote 2:15) ʻOku hā mahino, ko e ongo ako fakamātoato kinaua ʻo e ngaahi Konga Tohitapú. Naʻe laveʻi loloto ʻa ʻApolosi ʻe he fakahinohino makatuʻunga ʻi he ‘folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ko e koto moʻui mo e koto malohí,’ ʻo ueʻi ai ʻa e lotó.—Hepelu 4:12.
6. ʻOku tau ʻilo fēfē naʻe houngaʻia ʻa ʻApolosi ʻi he tokoni naʻá ne maʻú?
6 Naʻe houngaʻia ʻa ʻApolosi ʻi he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa ʻene ongo faiakó pea naʻá ne hoko ʻo toe poto ʻaupito ange ʻi he ngaohi ākongá. Naʻá ne fakaʻaongaʻi kakato ʻene ʻiló ʻi he ngāue ko hono fanongonongo ʻa e ongoongo leleí, tautefito ki he lotolotonga ʻo e kakai Siú. Naʻe kehe ange ʻa e ʻaonga lahi ʻa ʻApolosí ʻi hono fakalotoʻi ʻa e kau Siú fekauʻaki mo Kalaisí. ‘ʻI he hoko ʻo mālohi ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú,’ naʻá ne malava ai ke fakamoʻoniʻi kiate kinautolu ko e kotoa ʻo e kau palōfita ʻo e kuonga muʻá naʻa nau fakatuʻotuʻa ki he hoko mai ʻa Kalaisí. (Ngāue 18:24, Kingdom Interlinear Translation) ʻOku tānaki mai ʻe he fakamatalá ʻo pehē naʻe hoko atu ʻa ʻApolosi ki ʻĀkeia, ʻa ia naʻá ne “tokoni lahi akinautolu kuo nau tui i he aloofa: He nae fakakikihi malohi ia moe kakai Jiu, i he fakaha, o ne fakamooni mei he gaahi tohi ko Jisu koe Kalaisi.”—Ngāue 18:27, 28, PM.

7. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e hoko ʻa ʻAkuila mo Pīsila ko e ongo faiako pōtoʻí?
7 Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e hoko ʻa ʻAkuila mo Pīsila ko e ongo faiako pōtoʻi ʻo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá? Tuku kehe ʻena tōtōivi ʻi he ako fakafoʻituituí mo e maʻu fakatahá, ko ʻena feohi vāofi mo e ʻapositolo ko Paulá kuo pau naʻe tokoni lahi ia. Naʻe feʻunga mo e māhina ʻe 18 ʻa e nofo ʻa Paula ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Pīsila mo ʻAkuilá ʻi Kolinitō. Naʻa nau ngāue fakataha ʻi he ngaohi mo e monomono tēnití. (Ngāue 18:2, 3) Sioloto atu ki he ngaahi fetalanoaʻaki Fakatohitapu loloto kuo pau naʻe hoko aí. Pea ko ha fakalakalaka lahi ē ki hona tuʻunga fakalaumālié kuo pau naʻá na maʻu ʻi he feohi pehē mo Paulá! “Koia oku aeva fakataha moe kakai boto e boto ai ia,” ko e lau ia ʻa e Palovepi 13:20 (PM). Naʻe ola lelei ʻa e feohi leleí ki heʻena ngaahi tōʻonga fakalaumālié.—1 Kolinito 15:33.
8. Ko e hā naʻe ako ʻe Pīsila mo ʻAkuila mei heʻena siofi ʻa Paula ʻi heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú?
8 ʻI hono siofi ʻe Pīsila mo ʻAkuila ʻa Paula ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha tokotaha fanongonongo ʻo e Puleʻangá, naʻá na sio ai ki ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻo ha faiako leleí. ʻOku fakahā ʻe he fakamatala ʻi he Ngāué ʻo pehē ko Paulá “naʻa ne fai ʻene talanoa lotu ʻi he falelotu [ʻi Kolinitō] ʻi he sapate kotoa pe, ʻo ne fakatuiʻi [“fakalotoʻi,” NW] ha kau Siu mo ha kau Kalisi.” Ki mui ai, ʻi he taimi naʻá ne kau fakataha ai mo Sailosi mo Tīmoté, “naʻe kamata moʻua ʻa e loto ʻo Paula ki heʻene malanga, ʻo ne fakamoʻoni ke ʻasi ki he kakai Siu, Ko e Misaia ʻa Sisu.” ʻI he taimi naʻe maʻu ai ha mahuʻingaʻia siʻisiʻi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau mēmipa ʻo e sinakoké, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe Pīsila mo ʻAkuila naʻe hiki ʻe Paula ʻa e senitā ʻo ʻene ngāue fakamalangá ki ha feituʻu ʻe lelei angé, ko ha fale naʻe hoko atu pē ki he sinakoké. ʻI aí naʻe malava ai ʻa Paula ke tokoniʻi ʻa Kalisipo, “ko e pule ʻo e falelotu,” ke hoko ko ha ākonga. ʻOku hangehangē naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe Pīsila mo ʻAkuila ko hono ngaohi ʻo e ākonga ʻe taha ko iá naʻe ʻi ai hono kaunga lahi mo ola lelei ki he feituʻu ngāue ko iá. ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakamatalá: “Ko Kalisipo . . . naʻe lotu ia ki he ʻEiki mo hono fāmili kātoa; pea naʻe hokohoko tuʻu ʻa e tafoki mai mo e papitaiso ʻa e niʻihi Kolinito ʻi heʻenau fanongo malanga.”—Ngāue 18:4-8.
9. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa Pīsila mo ʻAkuila ki he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Paulá?
9 Ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Paula ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú naʻe faʻifaʻitaki ki ai ʻa e kau fanongonongo kehe ʻo e Puleʻangá, hangē ko Pīsila mo ʻAkuilá. Naʻe enginaki ʻa e ʻapositoló ki he kau Kalisitiane kehé: “Mou hoko ko e kau faʻifaʻitaki kiate au, ʻo hange foki ko ʻeku faʻifaʻitaki ʻaku kia Kalaisi.” (1 Kolinito 10:34 [1 Kol. 11:1, PM]) ʻI he fehoanaki mo e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Paulá, naʻe tokoniʻi ʻe Pīsila mo ʻAkuila ʻa ʻApolosi ke ne mahinoʻi totonu ange ʻa e ngaahi akonaki faka-Kalisitiané. Naʻe iku ai, ʻo ne tokoniʻi leva ʻa e niʻihi kehe. ʻOku ʻikai ha veiveiua naʻe tokoni ʻa Pīsila mo ʻAkuila ke ngaohi ākonga ʻi Loma, Kolinitō, mo ʻEfesō.—Ngāue 18:1, 2, 18, 19; Loma 16:3-5.
