ʼE FAI E TE SANETUALIO HE FAIFAKAMAU NEʼE MOLE GAFUA ʼI TE LAO
Hili te haʼi ʼo Sesu ohage ko he tagata agakovi, neʼe ʼave leva ia ia kia Anasi. Neʼe ko ia te pelepitelo lahi ʼi te temi ʼae neʼe kei tupulaga ai Sesu, ʼi tana faipalalau mo te kau faiako ʼi te fale lotu. (Luka 2:42, 47) Ki muli age ko ʼihi foha ʼo Anasi neʼe natou gaue ohage ko he ʼu pelepitelo lahi, pea ʼi te lakaga leva ʼaeni ko Kaifa te ʼohoana ʼo tona ʼofafine ʼae neʼe ina maʼu te tuʼulaga ʼaia.
ʼI te lolotoga nofo ʼa Sesu io Anasi, neʼe maʼu ai e Kaifa he temi moʼo fakatahitahiʼi te Sanetualio. Neʼe ko te toko 71 ʼae neʼe kau ki te fakamauʼaga ʼaia, pea neʼe kau ai te pelepitelo lahi pea mo ʼihi neʼe natou maʼu ia te tuʼulaga ʼaia ʼi muʼa atu.
Neʼe fakafehuʼi e Anasi ia Sesu “ ʼo ʼuhiga mo ʼana tisipulo pea mo tana faiakonaki.” Neʼe tali fenei age e Sesu: “Neʼe au palalau fakahaha ki te hahaʼi fuli. Neʼe au faiakonaki tuʼumaʼu ʼi te ʼu sinakoka pea mo te fale lotu, ʼae ʼe fakatahitahi ai te kau Sutea fuli, pea neʼe mole au tala fakafufu he meʼa. He koʼe ʼe ke fakafehuʼi au? Fakafehuʼi ia natou ʼae neʼe logo ki te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe au fakaha age kia natou.”—Soane 18:19-21.
Neʼe tuʼu ai te tagata leʼo ʼo te fale lotu, pea neʼe ina pāki ia Sesu pea neʼe ina ui fenei: “ ʼE ko tau taʼi tali palalau koa ʼaia ki te pelepitelo pule?” Kaʼe ʼi te iloʼi e Sesu neʼe mole ina fai he meʼa kovi, neʼe ina tali fenei age: “Kapau neʼe au palalau kovi, pea fakaha mai tona kovi. Kaʼe kapau neʼe moʼoni ʼaku palalau, he koʼe ʼe ke pāki au?” (Soane 18:22, 23) Neʼe fekau leva e Anasi ke ʼave ia Sesu kia Kaifa, te ʼohoana ʼo tona ʼofafine.
Neʼe kua fakatahitahi ia natou fuli ʼae neʼe kau ki te Sanetualio, ia te pelepitelo lahi mo te kau takitaki Sutea pea mo te kau sekelipa, ʼi te ʼapi ʼo Kaifa. Neʼe mole gafua ʼi te lao ke fai he fakamau feia ʼi te po ʼo te Pasikate, kaʼe logo la te faʼahi ʼaia, neʼe mole taʼofi ai tanatou fia fakahoko tanatou fakatuʼutuʼu kovi.
Neʼe ko he ʼu tagata kaka. Hili te fakatuʼuake e Sesu ia Lasalo, neʼe fakatuʼutuʼu e te Sanetualio ke natou matehi ia Sesu. (Soane 11:47-53) Pea ʼi he ʼu kiʼi ʼaho ki muʼa atu, neʼe fonofono te kau takitaki lotu ke natou puke pea mo matehi ia Sesu. (Mateo 26:3, 4) ʼEi, neʼe heʼeki kamata tona fakamauʼi kaʼe neʼe hage pe kua fakatuʼā ia ia ki te mate.
ʼO hilifaki ki tanatou fono ʼaia kaʼe neʼe mole gafua ʼi te lao, neʼe faigaʼi e te kau pelepitelo pule pea mo ʼihi ʼo te Sanetualio ke natou maʼu he hahaʼi ʼe natou fai anai he ʼu fakamoʼoni loi, ke tukugakoviʼi ai ia Sesu. Neʼe natou maʼu te tokolahi kaʼe neʼe mole alu tahi ʼanatou fakamoʼoni. Pea neʼe ʼomai leva he foʼi toko lua pea mo nā ui fenei: “Neʼe matou logo ki tana ui fenei: ‘ ʼE au holoʼi anai te fale lotu ʼae neʼe laga e te tagata, pea ia ʼaho ʼe tolu ʼe au toe laga anai he tahi age fale lotu ʼe mole laga e te tagata.’ ” (Maleko 14:58) Kaʼe maʼiape la mo te ʼu tagata ʼaia, neʼe mole tatau ʼanā fakamoʼoni.
Neʼe fehuʼi fenei age e Kaifa kia Sesu: “ ʼE mole hau tali ki ai? ʼE mole ke logo koa la ki te ʼu tukugakovi ʼae ʼe fai e te ʼu tagata ʼaeni ʼo ʼuhiga mo koe?” (Maleko 14:60) Neʼe mole fai e Sesu hana tali ʼo ʼuhiga mo te tukugakovi hala ʼae neʼe fai e te ʼu tagata neʼe mole alu tahi ʼanā fakamatala. Koia neʼe fai leva e te Pelepitelo Lahi ko Kaifa he tahi puleʼaki.
Neʼe iloʼi e Kaifa neʼe mole leleiʼia e te kau Sutea moka lau e he tahi ʼe ko ia te ʼAlo ʼo te ʼAtua. Ki muʼa atu, ʼi te temi ʼae neʼe fakahigoaʼi ai e Sesu te ʼAtua ko tana Tamai, neʼe fia matehi ia ia e te kau Sutea he neʼe natou manatu neʼe ina “fakatatau ai ia ia ki te ʼAtua.” (Soane 5:17, 18; 10:31-39) ʼI te iloʼi e Kaifa te faʼahi ʼaia, neʼe ina fai ai te ʼu palalau kaka ʼaeni kia Sesu: “ ʼE au fakatotonu atu ia muʼa ʼo te ʼAtua maʼuli, kapau ko koe ko Kilisito, te ʼAlo ʼo te ʼAtua, fakaha mai kia matou!” (Mateo 26:63) ʼE mahino ia, neʼe kua fakamoʼoni ia Sesu ʼe ko ia te ʼAlo ʼo te ’Atua. (Soane 3:18; 5:25; 11:4) ʼI te lakaga leva ʼaeni, ka na pau la neʼe nofo fakalogologo, neʼe feala ai ke natou manatu neʼe ko he fakamoʼoni ʼaia ʼe mole ko ia ko te ʼAlo ʼo te ʼAtua pea mo Kilisito. Koia, neʼe ui fenei e Sesu: “ ʼEi ko au, pea ʼe kotou sisio anai ki te Foha ʼo te tagata ʼe heka ʼi te toʼomataʼu ʼo te malohi pea ʼe haʼu ʼi te ʼu ʼao ʼo te lagi.”—Maleko 14:62.
Pea neʼe haeʼi atu aipe e Kaifa ʼona kofu pea mo kalaga fenei: “Ko tana ia pauʼu! ʼE mole kei ʼaoga mai he tahi age ʼu tagata fakamoʼoni. Kua kotou logo ki tana pauʼu. Kotea la takotou manatu?” Neʼe fai e te Sanetualio ia he fakatuʼā ʼe heʼe faitotonu, ʼo natou ui fenei: “ ʼE tonu ke matehi.”—Mateo 26:65, 66.
Neʼe natou kamata manukinukiʼi ia Sesu pea mo hoka ia ia. Ko ʼihi neʼe natou fepaʼaki ia ia pea natou ʼanuʼanuhi ʼona fofoga. ʼI tanatou ʼosi pulouʼi ʼona fofoga pea mo fepaʼaki ia ia, neʼe natou vaʼi ia ia ʼo natou ui fenei age: “Fakaha mai kia matou ko koe ko he polofeta pea mo ke ui mai pe ko ai ʼae neʼe ina ta koe.” (Luka 22:64) Koia ʼi te po ʼaia, neʼe gaohi koviʼi ia te ʼAlo ʼo te ʼAtua ʼi he faifakamau neʼe mole gafua ʼi te lao.
