Talatalaakiʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e Kau Fakafepaki Kiate Iá

NAʻE fakapuputuʻuʻi moʻoni ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kau fakafepaki fakaelotu kiate iá ʻo nau manavahē ke toe ʻeke atu ha meʻa kiate ia. Ko ia naʻá ne kamata ke fakaeʻa ʻa ʻenau taʻeʻiló. “Ko e hā hoʻomou fakakaukau ki he Kalaisí?” ko ʻene fehuʻí atu ia. “Ko e hako nai ia ʻo hai?”

“ʻO Tēvita,” ko e tali ia ʻa e kau Fālesí.

Neongo naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa Tēvita ko e tupuʻanga fakaesino ia ʻo Kalaisí, pe Mīsaiá, naʻá ne ʻeke: “Kae fēfē ai hono ui ko e ‘ʻEiki’ ʻe Tēvita ʻi heʻene laumālieʻiá [ʻi he Sāme 110], ʻo ne pehē, ‘Naʻe folofola ʻe Sihova ki hoku ʻEikí: “Nofo koe ʻi hoku toʻomataʻú, kaeʻoua ke u ʻai ho filí ki ho lalo vaʻé”’? Pea kapau ʻoku ui ia ʻe Tēvita ko hono ‘ʻEiki,’ pea ko hono hako fēfē ia?”

Naʻe fakalongolongo pē ʻa e kau Fālesí, he naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻilo totonu pe ko hai ʻa e Kalaisí, pe tokotaha paní. Ko e Mīsaiá naʻe ʻikai ko ha hako fakaetangata pē ia ʻo Tēvita, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe tui ki ai ʻa e kau Fālesí, ka naʻá ne moʻui ki muʻa ʻi hēvani pea naʻe māʻolunga ia ʻia Tēvita, pe ko hono ʻEiki.

Naʻe hanga atu ʻeni ʻa Sīsū ki he fuʻu kakaí mo ʻene kau ākongá, ʻo ne fai ha fakatokanga ʻo kau ki he kau sikalaipé mo e kau Fālesí. Koeʻuhi ko e faʻahinga ko ʻení naʻa nau akoʻi ʻa e Lao ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻo nau “ʻai kinautolu ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻo Mōsesé,” naʻe naʻinaʻi ʻe Sīsū: “ʻIlonga ha meʻa ʻoku nau fekau kiate kimoutolu, mou fai ki ai mo tauhia.” Ka naʻá ne tānaki atu: “Kae ʻoua naʻa mou faʻifaʻitaki ki heʻenau ngāué, he ʻoku nau lea kae ʻikai fai ki ai.”

Naʻa nau mālualoi, pea naʻe talatalaakiʻi kinautolu ʻe Sīsū ʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea meimei tatau ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá ne fai ʻi he lolotonga ha kai ʻi he fale ʻo ha Fālesi ʻi he ngaahi māhina ki muʻá. “Pea ka ai haʻanau ngāue ʻoku fai,” ko ʻene leá ia, “ko e fai pē ke mātā ʻe he kakaí.” Pea naʻá ne ʻomai ha ngaahi fakatātā, ʻo pehē:

“ʻOku nau fakalahi ʻa e fanga kiʻi puha ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi veesi Tohitapú, ʻa ia ʻoku nau tui ko e maluʻi.” Ko e fanga kiʻi ʻaiʻanga meʻa iiki ko ʻení, ʻa ia naʻe ʻai ia ʻi he foʻi laʻé pe ko e nimá, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi konga ʻe fā ʻo e Laó: Ekisoto 13:​1-10, 11-16; mo e Teutalonome 6:​4-9; 11:​13-21. Ka naʻe fakalahi ʻe he kau Fālesí ia ʻa e lalahi ʻo e fanga kiʻi ʻaiʻanga meʻá ni ke fakahāhā ʻoku nau faivelenga ki he Laó.

Naʻe hoko atu ʻe Sīsū ʻo pehē naʻa nau “pao lōloa honau kofú.” ʻI he Nomipa 15:​38-40 naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ai ki he kau ʻIsilelí ke ʻai ʻa e ngaahi pao honau kofú, ka ko e kau Fālesí ia naʻa nau ʻai honau ngaahi paó ʻo lalahi ange ia ʻi ha toe taha kehe. Ko e meʻa hono kotoa pē naʻe fai ko e fakahāhā pē! “ʻOku nau manako ki he ngaahi nofoʻanga tuʻu-ki-muʻá,” ko e lau ia ʻa Sīsuú.

Ko e meʻa fakamamahí, naʻe uesia mo ʻene kau ākongá tonu ʻe he holi ke tuʻu-ki-muʻá. Ko ia naʻá ne akonaki: “Ka ko kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa ui ko Lāpai, he ʻoku taha pē hoʻomou faiakó, ka ko kimoutolu ko e ngaahi tokoua kotoa pē. Pea ʻoua naʻa ui ha tokotaha ʻi māmani ko hoʻomou tamai, he ʻoku taha pē hoʻomou Tamaí, ko e Tamai fakalangí. Kaeʻumaʻa ʻoua naʻa ui kimoutolu ko e kau ‘takimuʻa,’ he ʻoku taha homou Takimuʻá, ko Kalaisi.” Naʻe pau ki he kau ākongá ke nau toʻo atu meiate kinautolu ʻa e holi ke muʻomuʻá! “ʻO ka ai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe lahi hake, te ne nofo ko hoʻomou sevāniti,” ko e enginaki ia ʻa Sīsuú.

Naʻá ne hoko atu hono fakahā hokohoko ʻa e ngaahi mala ki he kau sikalaipé mo e kau Fālesí, ʻo toutou ui kinautolu ko e kau mālualoi. Naʻa nau “songo ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo hēvaní ki he kakaí,” ko ʻene laú ia, pea “ʻoku nau folo kotoa ʻa e ngaahi ʻapi ʻo siʻi kau uitoú, pea nau mounu ʻaki ʻenau faʻa lotu lōloa.”

“ʻOiauē kimoutolu, ʻa e kau takimuʻa kui,” ko e lea ia ʻa Sīsuú. Naʻá ne fakahalaiaʻi ʻa e kau Fālesí ʻi he ʻikai ke maʻu ha mahuʻinga fakalaumālié, naʻe fakahā ia ʻe he ngaahi faikehekehe taʻeʻuhinga naʻa nau ʻaí. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻa nau pehē, ‘Ko ha meʻa noa pē ka fuakava ʻaki ʻa e temipalé, ka ʻe moʻua ha taha ʻo kapau ʻokú ne fuakava ʻaki ʻa e koula ʻi he temipalé.’ ʻI heʻenau fakamamafa lahi ange ki he koula ʻi he temipalé kae ʻikai ʻi he mahuʻinga fakalaumālie ʻo e feituʻu faiʻanga lotú, naʻa nau fakahā ai ʻa ʻenau kui fakaeʻulungaangá.

Ko ia, hangē ko ia naʻá ne fai ki muʻá, naʻe fakahalaiaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kau Fālesí ki hono liʻaki ʻa e “ngaahi meʻa mamafa ʻo e Laó, ʻa e fakamaau totonú, mo e fai meesí, mo e lototoó” kae fai ʻa e tokanga lahi angé ia ki he totongi ʻo e vahe hongofulu ʻo e fanga kiʻi ʻakau ʻoku ʻikai loko mahuʻingá.

Naʻe ui ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kau Fālesí ko e “koto takimuʻa kui, hoʻomou sivi mei hoʻomou inú ʻa e namú, kae folofua ʻa e kāmeli!” Naʻa nau sivi ʻa e namú mei heʻenau uainé, ʻo ʻikai pē koeʻuhi ko ha ʻinisēkite ia, ka koeʻuhi he naʻe taʻemaʻa fakaeouau ia. Ka ʻoku malava ke fakahoa ʻenau taʻetokaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa mamafa ange ʻo e Laó ki hono folo ʻo ha kāmeli, ʻa ia ko ha monumanu taʻemaʻa fakaeouau foki mo ia.

▪ Ko e hā naʻe fakalongolongo ai ʻa e kau Fālesí ʻi hono fakafehuʻi kinautolu ʻe Sīsū ʻo kau ki he lea ʻa Tēvita ʻi he Sāme 110?

▪ Ko e hā naʻe fakalahi ai ʻe he kau Fālesí ʻa ʻenau fanga kiʻi puha ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi veesi Tohitapú mo e ngaahi pao ʻo honau ngaahi kofú?

▪ Ko e hā ʻa e akonaki naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá?

▪ Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi faikehekehe taʻeʻuhinga naʻe ʻai ʻe he kau Fālesí, pea naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahalaiaʻi ʻe Sīsū kinautolu ki heʻenau liʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa mamafa angé?
