Fehuʻi mei he Kau Lautohí
Ko e hā naʻe lava ai ke tala ʻe Sīsū ki ha fefine naʻe ʻiloa ko ha angahala kuo fakamolemoleʻi ʻene angahalá?—Luke 7:37, 48.
ʻI he tokoto atu ʻa Sīsū ʻi ha kai ʻi he fale ʻo ha Fālesi ko Saimone, naʻe haʻu ai ha fefine ʻo ‘tuu mei he tua o Sīsuú ofi ki hono vaʻé.’ Naʻá ne fakaviviku ʻa hono ongo vaʻé ʻaki hono loʻimatá pea holo ʻaki ia ʻa hono louʻulú. Naʻá ne ʻuma fakaalaala leva ki hono vaʻé pea tākaiʻaki ia ha lolo namu-kakala. Ko e fefiné naʻe ʻiloa ia ‘koe agahala i he koló,’ ko e lau ia ʻa e fakamatala Kōsipelí. Ko e moʻoni, ko e faʻahinga taʻehaohaoa kotoa pē ʻo e tangatá ko ha angahala, ka ʻoku faʻa ngāueʻaki ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e foʻi lea ko ení ke fakamatalaʻiʻaki ha tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku ʻiloa ʻene angahalá pe ʻoku ongoongoa ʻi he faiangahalá. Ngalingali ko e fefiné ko ha paʻumutu. Ko ha tokotaha pehē naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Sīsū: “Kuo fakamolemole hoo gaahi agahala.” (Luke 7:36-38, 48, PM) Ko e hā naʻe ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa Sīsū ʻi he lea ko iá? Koeʻuhi ko e feilaulau huhuʻí naʻe teʻeki ai ke foaki, naʻe malava fēfē ʻa e fakamolemole ko ení?
Hili hono fufulu ʻe he fefiné pea tākai ʻa e vaʻe ʻo Sīsuú ka ki muʻa ʻi heʻene fakamolemoleʻi iá, naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sīsū ha talanoa fakatātā ke fakamatalaʻi ha poini mahuʻinga ki he tokotaha naʻá ne talitali iá, ʻa Saimone. ʻI heʻene fakatatau ʻa e angahalá ki ha moʻua naʻe fuʻu lahi ke toe totongi, naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū kia Saimone: “Naʻe ai ha ongo tangata naʻe moʻua ki ha matāpule tali-no-paʻanga: ko e moʻua ʻo e taha ko e tenali ʻe nimangeau, ko e taha ko e tēnali ʻe nimangofulu. Pea ʻi he ʻikai haʻana meʻa ke totongi ʻaki, naʻa ne fakamolemole fakatouʻosi. Ko e fē nai ʻiate kinaua ʻe lahi ʻene ʻofa ki he matāpule?” ʻI heʻene talí naʻe pehē ʻe Saimone: “ʻOku ou pehē, ko e toko taha naʻe lahi ʻene fakamolemole ki ai.” Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sīsū: “Totonu pe hoʻo lau.” (Luke 7:41-43) Ko kitautolu kotoa ʻoku tau moʻuaʻaki ki he ʻOtuá ʻa e talangofua, ko ia ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau talangataʻa ai kiate ia pea faiangahalá, ʻoku ʻikai te tau malava ai ke totongi ki he ʻOtuá ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tuha ke ʻaʻaná. Ko ia ʻoku fokotuʻuna ai hotau moʻuá. Neongo ia, ko Sihová ʻoku hangē ha tokotaha tali nō ʻa ia ʻoku loto-lelei ke ne fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻuá. Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻe fakalototoʻaʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa hono kau muimuí ke nau lotu ki he ʻOtuá ʻo kole: “Fakamolemole homau ngāhi moʻua; hange kuo mau fakamolemole foki ʻa kinautolu ne moʻua kiate kimautolu.” (Mt. 6:12) ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻi he Luke 11:4 ʻa e ngaahi moʻua ko ení ko e angahala.
Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga kuo fakamolemoleʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e angahalá ʻi he kuohilí? Ko ʻene fakamaau totonu haohaoá ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ʻa e tautea ko e mate ki he angahalá. Ko ia ai, naʻe totongi ʻe ʻĀtama ʻa ʻene angahalá ʻaki ʻene moʻuí. Kae kehe, ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Lao naʻe ʻoange ʻe he ʻOtuá ki he puleʻanga ʻIsilelí, ko ha tokotaha angahala naʻe lava ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻa ʻene angahalá ʻaki hono feilaulauʻi ha monumanu kia Sihova. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “ʻI he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e Lao ʻoku ʻikai mei ai ha meʻa ka ʻoku fakamaʻa ʻaki ʻa e toto: pea ka ʻikai ha lilingi toto, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamolemole.” (Hep. 9:22) Naʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau Siú ha toe founga ʻa ia ʻe lava ke maʻu ai ʻa e fakamolemole mei he ʻOtuá. Ko ia ai, ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻohovale ʻa e fakafepaki ʻa e kau mamata ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Sīsuú ki he meʻa naʻá ne leaʻaki ki he fefiné. Ko e faʻahinga naʻe tākoto atu ki he tēpilé mo Sīsuú naʻa nau pehē loto pē ʻia kinautolu: “Ko hai ʻeni, ʻa ia ʻoku fakamolemole angahala foki?” (Luke 7:49) Ko e hā leva ʻa e makatuʻunga naʻe lava ke fakamolemoleʻi ai ʻa e talangataʻa ʻa e fefine naʻe lahi ʻene angahalá?
Ko e ʻuluaki kikite tonu naʻe leaʻaki hili ʻa e angatuʻu ʻa e muʻaki ongo mātuʻa fakaetangatá naʻe lau ai ki he taumuʻa ʻa Sihova ke fokotuʻu ha “hako” ʻa ia ʻe fakavolu ʻa hono muiʻivaʻé ʻe Sētane mo hono “hako.” (Sen. 3:15) Ko e fakavolu ko ení naʻe hoko ia ʻi he taimi naʻe fakapoongi ai ʻa Sīsū ʻe he ngaahi fili ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Kal. 3:13, 16) Ko e taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi naʻe lilingí ʻoku hoko ia ko e huhuʻi ʻa ia ʻoku fakatauʻatāinaʻi ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá mei he angahalá mo e maté. Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe lava ke ne taʻofi ʻa Sihova mei hono fakahoko ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne fakataumuʻa ke faí, ʻi hono leaʻaki pē ʻa e lea naʻe hiki ʻi he Senesi 3:15, ko e huhuʻí ne hangē pē ia kuo ʻosi totongí ʻi he vakai mai ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻe lava he taimi ko ení ke ne fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ngāueʻi ʻa e tui ki heʻene ngaahi talaʻofá.
Lolotonga ʻa e taimi ki muʻa ʻi he Kalisitiané, naʻe lau ai ʻe Sihova ha faʻahinga tāutaha ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni. Naʻe kau he faʻahingá ni ʻa ʻĪnoke, Noa, ʻĒpalahame, Lēhapi mo Siope. ʻI he tuí, naʻa nau fakatuʻotuʻa atu ai ki he fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá. “Naʻe tui ʻa Epalahame ki he ʻOtua,” ko e tohi ia ʻa e ākonga ko Sēmisí, “pea naʻe lau ia maʻane maʻoniʻoni.” ʻI he fekauʻaki mo Lēhapí naʻe pehē ʻe Sēmisi: “Pehe foki, ʻIkai naʻe fakatonuhia ʻa Lehapi feʻauaki mei he ngaue?”—Sem. 2:21-25.
Ko Tuʻi Tēvita ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá naʻá ne fai ʻa e ngaahi angahala mamafa, ka naʻá ne tui mālohi ki he ʻOtua moʻoní pea fakahāhā ʻa e fakatomala moʻoni ʻi he taimi taki taha. ʻIkai ko ia pē, ʻoku fakamatala ʻa e Tohi Tapú: “Kuo fakaha atu e he Otua koe feilaulau fakalelei [ʻa Sīsū], i he tui ki hono taataa, koeuhi ke fakaha ene maonioni i he fakamolemole oe agahala kuo fai, koe mea i he faa kataki ae Otua; Ke fakaha i he kuoga ni a ene maonioni: koeuhi ke agatonu be ia, ka koe fakatonuhia ia o ia oku tui kia Jisu.” (Loma 3:25, 26, PM) Makatuʻunga ʻi he feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Sīsū ʻa ia naʻe pau ke ʻomai ʻi he kahaʻú, naʻe lava ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e angahala ʻa Tēvitá ʻo ʻikai fakangaloku ai ʻa ʻEne ngaahi fiemaʻu tonu ʻo e fakamaau totonú.
ʻOku hā mahino, ko e tuʻunga ʻo e fefine ʻa ia naʻá ne tākai ʻa e vaʻe ʻo Sīsuú naʻe meimei tatau. Naʻá ne moʻui ʻi ha founga moʻui taʻetaau, ka naʻá ne fakatomala. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻa ʻene fiemaʻu ʻo e fakamolemole mei he angahalá pea fakahaaʻi ʻi heʻene tōʻongá naʻá ne houngaʻia moʻoni ʻi he tokotaha ʻa ia naʻe fakafou mai ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e fakamolemole ko iá. Neongo ʻene kei ʻi he kahaʻú, ko e feilaulau ko iá naʻe papau ʻaupito he ko hono mahuʻingá naʻe ʻosi lava ke ngāueʻaki ia ki he faʻahinga tāutaha hangē ko iá. Ko ia ai, naʻe tala ange ʻe Sīsū kiate ia: “Kuo fakamolemole hoo gaahi agahala.”
Hangē ko ia ʻoku fakahaaʻi mahino ʻi he fakamatala ko ení, naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻehiʻehi ʻa Sīsū mei he kau angahalá. Naʻá ne failelei kia kinautolu. ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻoku loto-lelei ʻa Sihova ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e kau angahala fakatomalá. He fakapapau fakaofo mo fakalotomāfana moʻoni ē ko ia kia kitautolu faʻahinga taʻehaohaoa ʻo e tangatá!
