“ʻI he kamataʻanga kuo ʻi ai ʻa Folofola, pea naʻe feangai mo e ʻOtua ʻa Folofola, pea naʻe ʻOtua ʻa Folofola.”—Sione 1:1, Paaki Foʻou.

ʻUhinga ʻo e Sione 1:1

ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he konga Tohi Tapu ko ení ʻa e fakaikiiki fekauʻaki mo e moʻui ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ki muʻa ke ne hoko ko ha tangata ʻi he māmaní. (Sione 1:14-17) ʻI he veesi 14, naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻa e foʻi lea “Folofola” (pe “Lōkosi,” faka-Kalisi, ho loʹgos) ko ha hingoa fakalakanga. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he hingoa fakalakanga “Folofola” ʻa e ngafa ʻo Sīsū ko e tokotaha talafekau ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. Naʻe hokohoko atu hono ʻai ʻe Sīsū ke ʻiloa ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá lolotonga ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú mo e hili ʻene foki ki hēvaní.—Sione 7:16; Fakahā 1:1.

“ʻI he kamataʻangá” ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ki he taimi naʻe kamata ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaefakatupú pea fakatupu ʻa Folofola. Hili iá, naʻe ngāue fakataha ʻa e ʻOtuá mo Folofola ʻi hono fakatupu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kehe kotoa pē. (Sione 1:2, 3) ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko Sīsū “ko e ʻuluaki fakatupu ia ʻi he meʻa fakatupu kotoa pē” pea “naʻe fakafou ʻiate ia, ʻa hono fakatupu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kehe kotoa pē.”—Kolose 1:15, 16.

Moʻoni: ʻOku liliu ʻe he kau liliu Tohi Tapu tokolahi ʻa e vēsí ʻi he fakalea ko iá, ka ko e niʻihi ʻoku nau sio ʻoku fiemaʻu ke liliu. ʻI he muʻaki leá, ko e ʻasi tuʻo ua ʻa e “ʻOtuá” (faka-Kalisi the·osʹ) ʻi he Sione 1:1 ʻoku kehekehe hona tuʻunga fakakalamá. ʻI heʻene ʻasi ʻuluakí, ʻoku muʻomuʻa ai ʻi he the·osʹ ʻa e muʻanauna pau ʻi he lea faka-Kalisí, ka ʻi heʻene ʻasi hono uá ʻoku ʻikai ha muʻanauna ia. ʻOku loto-tatau ʻa e kau mataotao tokolahi ko e ʻikai ha muʻanauna pau ʻi muʻa ʻi he the·osʹ hono uá ʻoku mahuʻinga. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻoku pehē ʻe he The Translator’s New Testament ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e ʻikai ha muʻanauna paú: “ʻI he tuʻunga ko ení ko e ʻasi hono ua ʻo e the·osʹ (ʻotuá) ʻokú ne ʻai ʻa e the·osʹ ke ʻuhinga ki he natula mo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e anga ʻo Folofolá, ʻa ia ko hono ʻuhinga ʻo e kupuʻi leá ‘Ko Folofolá naʻe fakaʻotua.’” a Ko e kau mataotao b mo e kau liliu Tohi Tapu kehé ʻoku nau loto-tatau mo e faikehekehe ko ení.

Maʻuhala: ʻOku akoʻi ʻe he vēsí ko Folofola ʻoku tatau pē ia mo e ʻOtua Māfimafi-Aoniu.

Moʻoni: Ko e kupuʻi lea “pea ko Folofolá naʻe ʻi ai fakataha mo e ʻOtuá” ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ko ha toko ua. ʻOku ʻikai malava kia Folofola ke ne “ʻi ai fakataha mo e ʻOtuá” pea taimi tatau ke ne hoko ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi-Aoniú. ʻOku fakapapauʻi foki ʻe he puipuituʻá ko Folofolá ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi-Aoniú ia. ʻOku pehē ʻi he Sione 1:18 “Kuo ʻikai ha tangata kuó ne mātā ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi ha taimi.” Ka neongo ia, naʻe mātā ʻe he kakaí ʻa Folofola ʻa ia ko Sīsū, ʻoku pehē ʻi he Sione 1:14 “naʻe hoko ʻa Folofola ʻo kakano ʻo ne nofo ʻi hotau lotolotongá, pea naʻa tau mamata ki hono lāngilangí.”

Maʻuhala: Ko Folofola naʻá ne ʻi ai maʻu pē.

Moʻoni: Ko e “kamataʻanga” ʻoku lave ki ai ʻa e vēsí ʻoku ʻikai ʻuhinga ia ki he “kamataʻanga” ʻo e ʻOtuá, koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai ha kamataʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko Sihova c ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku “mei he taʻengata ki he taʻengata.” (Saame 90:1, 2) Ka neongo ia, ko Folofola ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, naʻe ʻi ai hono kamataʻanga. Ko ia ʻa e “kamataʻanga ʻo e fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtuá.”—Fakahā 3:14.

Maʻuhala: Ko hono ui ʻa Folofola “ko ha ʻotua” ʻoku akoʻi ai ʻa e tui mo e lotu ki he ngaahi ʻotua tokolahi.

Moʻoni: Ko e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ki he “ʻOtua” pe “ʻotua” (the·osʹ) ʻoku fekauʻaki ia mo e lea faka-Hepelū ko e ʼel mo e ʼelo·himʹ, naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá.

(Saame 82:6; Sione 10:34) Ko Folofola ʻa e tokotaha naʻe fakafou mai ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e fakatupu ʻo e ngaahi meʻa kehe kotoa pē, ko ia ʻe lava ke fakamatalaʻi ia ko e tokotaha mālohi. (Sione 1:3) Ko hono fakamatalaʻi ʻo Folofola “ko ha ʻotua” ʻoku fehoanaki ia mo e kikite ʻi he ʻAisea 9:6, ʻa ia naʻe tomuʻa tala ai ʻa e tokotaha kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtuá, ko e Mīsaiá pē Kalaisí, ʻe ui ia ko e “ʻOtua Māfimafi” (faka-Hepelū, ʼEl Gib·bohrʹ), kae ʻikai ko e “ʻOtua Māfimafi Aoniu” (ʼEl Shad·daiʹ, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he Sēnesi 17:1; 35:11; ʻEkisoto 6:3; ʻIsikeli 10:5).

ʻOku ʻikai ke akoʻi ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e tui ki he ʻotua tokolahí. ʻOku pehē ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi: “Ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá kuo pau ke ke lotu ki aí, pea ko ia toko taha pē kuo pau ke ke fai ki ai ʻa e ngāue toputapú.” (Mātiu 4:10) ʻOku pehē ʻi he Tohi Tapú: “He neongo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua lau pē, ʻi hēvani pe ʻi he māmaní, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e “ngaahi ʻotua” tokolahi mo e “ngaahi ʻeiki” tokolahi, ko hono moʻoní kiate kitautolú ʻoku taha pē ʻa e ʻOtuá, ko e Tamaí, ʻa ia ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē pea ʻoku tau moʻui maʻana; pea ʻoku taha pē ʻa e ʻEikí, ko Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻa ia ʻoku fou mai ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē pea ʻoku tau fou ʻiate ia.”—1 Kolinitō 8:5, 6.
