“Teʻeki ha Tangata ʻe Lea Hange ko Ia”

“Pea nau fakamoʻoni ki ai kotoa pē; ʻo nau ofo ʻi he ngaahi lea mālie naʻe tō mei hono fofonga.”​—LUKE 4:​22.

 NAʻE ʻikai fakahoko ʻe he kau ʻōfisá ʻenau ngāue ne vaheʻi angé. Naʻe fekauʻi atu kinautolu ke nau puke ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ka naʻa nau foki halaʻatā. Naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahí mo e kau Fālesí ha fakamatala: “Ko e hā kuo ʻikai ai te mou taki mai ia?” Ko hono moʻoní, ko e hā ne ʻikai ke puke ai ʻe he kau ʻōfisá ha tangata ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai te ne fai ha talitekeʻi fakaesinó?

Ko e kakai ʻi hono kolo tupuʻangá naʻa nau ofo “ʻi he ngaahi lea mālie naʻe tō mei hono fofonga.” (Luke 4:22) Laka hake he tuʻo tahá naʻá ne malanga ai mei ha vaka ki he fuʻu kakai naʻa nau fakatahataha ʻi he matātahi ʻo e Tahi Kālelí. (Maake 3:9; 4:1; Luke 5:​1-3) ʻI he taimi ʻe taha, naʻe nofo ai mo ia “ha fuʻu kakai” ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho, naʻa mo ʻenau nofo taʻekai.​—Maake 8:​1, 2.

3. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga tefito naʻe hoko ai ʻa Sīsū ko ha faiako tuʻu-ki-muʻá?

Ka naʻe toe maʻu ʻe Sīsū ha malava anga-kehe ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi founga fakafaiakó. ʻI he ngaahi kupu ako ʻoku hā ʻi he ʻīsiu ko ení, te tau lāulea ai ki he niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi founga ola lelei naʻá ne ngāueʻakí mo e founga ʻe lava ke tau faʻifaʻitaki ai ki aí.

Faingofua mo Mahino

⁴ ʻOku ʻikai ngalikehe ki he kakai ako leleí ke nau ngāueʻaki ʻa e lea ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai lava ke mahinoʻi ʻe heʻenau kau fanongó. Ka ʻo kapau ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻai ke mahinoʻi kitautolu ʻe he niʻihi kehé, ʻe lava fēfē ke nau maʻu ʻaonga mei heʻetau ʻiló? ʻI he tuʻunga ko ha faiakó, naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke talanoa ʻa Sīsū ke ʻikai lava ʻo mahinoʻi ia ʻe he niʻihi kehé. Fakaʻuta atu ki he ʻotu lea naʻe mei lava ke ne ngāueʻakí. Ka, neongo ʻa ʻene ʻilo kāfakafá, naʻá ne fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo ʻene kau fanongó, ʻo ʻikai kiate ia. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ko e tokolahi ʻo kinautolú naʻa nau ‘taʻe kolisi, pea taʻe maʻu tuʻunga.’ (Ngāue 4:13) Ke aʻu kia kinautolú, naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e lea naʻe lava ke mahinoʻi ʻe he kakai peheé. Naʻe faingofua nai ʻa e ngaahi foʻi leá, ka ko e ngaahi moʻoni naʻa nau fakahāʻí naʻe loloto.

 ⁵ Ko e fakatātaá, fakakaukau angé ki he Malanga he Moʻungá, ʻoku hiki ʻi he Mātiu 5:3–​7:​27. Naʻe feʻunga nai mo e miniti pē ʻe 20 hono fakahoko ʻe Sīsū ʻa e malanga ko iá. Neongo ia, ko ʻene ngaahi akonakí ʻoku loloto, ʻo aʻu ki he tefito tonu ʻo e ngaahi meʻa hangē ko e tonó, vete malí mo e tuli ki he meʻa fakamatelié. (Mātiu 5:​27-​32; 6:​19-​34) Kae kehe, ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngaahi fakamatala fihi ia pe tōtuʻa. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku tātātaha ha foʻi lea naʻa mo ha kiʻi leka ʻe ʻikai moʻoni lava ke ne mahinoʻi! ʻOku hā mahino ʻi heʻene ʻosí, ko e fuʻu kakaí​—ngalingali naʻe kau ai ʻa e kau ngoue, kau tauhi-sipi, mo e kau toutai tokolahi​—‘naʻa nau ofo i he ene akonakí.’—Mātiu 7:​28, PM.

6. ʻOmai ha fakatātā ʻo e anga hono leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi lea naʻe faingofua kae mohu ʻuhingá.

⁶ ʻI hono faʻa ngāueʻaki ʻa e kupuʻi lea, mahino mo nounoú, naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi lea naʻe faingofua kae mohu ʻuhinga. ʻI he kuonga ki muʻa ʻi hono pulusi ʻo e ngaahi tohí, naʻá ne ʻai ke maongo taʻealamangalo ʻa ʻene pōpoakí ʻi he ʻatamai mo e loto ʻo ʻene kau fanongó. Fakatokangaʻi ange ʻa e ngaahi fakatātā ʻe niʻihi: “ʻOku ʻikai ke lava ʻe ha taha ke ne ʻeikiʻaki ha ʻeiki ʻe toko ua: . . . ʻOku ʻikai te mou lava ke eikiʻaki ʻa e ʻOtua mo Koloa fakatouʻosi.” “Oua naa mou fakamāu, telia naa fakamāua akimoutolu.” “Te mou ilo akinautolu i ho nau gaahi fua.” “Ko e tangata faitoʻo ʻoku ʻikai maʻa e malohi, ka maʻa e mahaki.” “ʻIlonga kinautolu ʻoku ala ki he heletā te nau mate heletā.” “ʻAnge kia Sisa ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sisa, pea ki he ʻOtua ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻa e ʻOtua.” “ʻOku te monuʻia lahi ʻi he fai ha foaki atu, ʻi heʻete maʻu ha foaki mai.” c (Mātiu 6:​24; 7:​1, 20, PM; Mātiu 9:​12; 26:52; Maake 12:17; Ngāue 20:35) Aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni, ko e meimei taʻu ia ʻe 2,000 hili hono leaʻaki ʻe Sīsuú, ko e ngaahi lea mālohi peheé ʻoku manatuʻi ngofua.

7. Ko e hā naʻe ʻeke ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí?

⁷ Naʻe ngāue lahi ʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí. Naʻá ne faʻa fai ia naʻa mo e taimi naʻe mei siʻi ange ai ʻa e fakamole taimí ʻi hano tala pē ki heʻene kau fanongó ʻa e poiní. Ko e hā leva naʻá ne ʻeke ai ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí? Naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻi he taimi ki he taimi ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi fakatupu-ʻilo ke fakaeʻa ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻa hono kau fakafepakí, ʻo fakasīlongoʻi ai kinautolu. (Mātiu 12:​24-​30; 21:​23-​27; 22:​41-​46) Kae kehe, ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga lahi, naʻe vaheʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e taimi ke ʻeke ai ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi koeʻuhi ke fakahaaʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoní, ke ʻai ʻene kau fanongó ke nau fakahāhā ʻa e meʻa naʻe ʻi honau lotó, pea ke ueʻi mo akoʻi ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa ʻene kau ākongá. Tau sivisiviʻi angé ʻa e fakatātā ʻe  ua, naʻe fekauʻaki fakatouʻosi mo e ʻapositolo ko Pitá.

8, 9. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono ngāueʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí ke tokoniʻi ʻa Pita ke ne hoko ki he fakamulituku totonú ʻi he meʻa fekauʻaki mo hono totongi ʻa e tukuhau temipalé?

⁸ ʻUluakí, fakamanatuʻi ʻa e taimi naʻe ʻeke ai ʻe he kau tānaki tukuhaú kia Pita pe naʻe totongi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tukuhau temipalé. d Ko Pitá, ʻi heʻene loto-ʻoho ʻi he taimi lahi, naʻá ne tali ange, “Ko é.” Kae kehe, ʻi ha taimi nounou ki mui ai, naʻe fakaʻuhinga kiate ia ʻa Sīsū: “Saimone, ko e ha hoʻo poa? ko e ngāhi tuʻi ʻo mamani ʻoku nau tanaki tute mo e tukuhau meia hai? mei he faleʻalo, pe mei he kakai kehe? Pea tali ʻe ia, Mei he kakai kehe pe. Pea lea ʻa Sisu ki ai, ʻAua, pea ta ʻoku ʻataʻatā ʻa e faleʻalo.” (Mātiu 17:​24-27) Ko e poini ʻo e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻa Sīsuú naʻe totonu ke ʻosi hā mahino ia kia Pita. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

⁹ ʻI he ʻaho ʻo Sīsuú, naʻe ʻiloa ai ʻa e ʻatā mei he tukuhaú ʻa e ngaahi faleʻalo ʻo e haʻa tuʻí. Ko ia ai, ʻi he tuʻunga ko e ʻAlo-tofu-pē-taha-ne-fakatupu ʻo e Tuʻi fakahēvaní ʻa ia naʻe fai ki ai ʻa e lotu ʻi he temipalé, naʻe ʻikai totonu ke fiemaʻu ʻa Sīsū ke ne totongi ʻa e tukuhaú. Fakatokangaʻi ʻi he ʻikai ke tala ange pē kia Pita ʻa e tali tonú, naʻe ngāue ola lelei ʻaki kae fakaalaala ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí ke tokoniʻi ʻa Pita ke ne aʻu ki he fakamulituku totonú​—pea tokoniʻi nai ke sio ki he fiemaʻu ke ne fakakaukau lelei ange ki muʻa ke leá.

10, 11. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa Sīsū ʻi he taimi naʻe tuʻusi ai ʻe Pita ʻa e telinga ʻo ha tangata ʻi he pō Pāsova ʻo e 33 T.S., pea ʻoku anga-fēfē hono fakahaaʻi ʻe he meʻá ni naʻe mahinoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e ngaahi fehuʻí?

¹⁰ Ko e fakatātā hono uá naʻe kau ki ai ha meʻa naʻe hoko ʻi he pō Pāsova ʻo e 33 T.S. ʻi he taimi naʻe haʻu ai ha fuʻu kakai ke puke ʻa Sīsuú. Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe he kau ākongá kia Sīsū pe ʻoku totonu ke nau faitau ke maluʻi ia. (Luke 22:49) ʻI he ʻikai tatali ki ha talí, naʻe tuʻusi ʻe Pita ʻa e telinga ʻo ha tangata ʻaki ha heletā (neongo naʻe fakataumuʻa nai ʻa Pita ke fakahoko ha maumau lahi ange). Naʻe tōʻongaʻaki ʻe Pita ha founga naʻe kehe mei he loto ʻo hono ʻeikí, he naʻe mateuteu kakato ʻa Sīsū ki hano puke ia. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa Sīsuú? ʻI he anga-kātaki ai peé, naʻá ne ʻeke ange kia Pita ʻa e foʻi fehuʻi ʻe tolu: “Ko e pehē koā ke ʻoua naʻa ku inu ʻa e ipu kuo tuku mai ʻe he Tamai”? “ʻOku ke pehe koā ʻoku faingataʻa kiate au ke kole ʻeni ki heʻeku ʻEiki, ka ne ʻomi ha kongakau angelo ʻe hongofulu ma ua, pe lahi hake, ke tapa kiate au? Kae fakamoʻoni fefe ai ʻa e ngāhi folofola, ʻa ia ʻoku fakaha kuo pau ke hoko ʻo pehe?”​—Sione 18:11; Mātiu 26:​52-​54.

Ko Sīsū, ʻi hono takatakaiʻi ʻe ha fuʻu kakai ʻitá, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe tuʻunuku ʻa ʻene pekiá pea ko hono fakaʻataʻatā ʻa e huafa ʻo ʻene Tamaí pea mo e fakamoʻui ʻo e fāmili fakaetangatá naʻe fakatuʻunga ia ʻiate ia. Neongo ia, naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e taimi totonu ʻi he taimi tofu pē ko iá ke ʻai ke maongo ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni mahuʻingá ki he ʻatamai ʻo Pitá ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí. ʻIkai ʻoku hā mahino naʻe mahinoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e ngaahi fehuʻí?

²⁰ ʻI he tali ki he kole ʻa ʻene kau ākongá ke akoʻi kinautolu ki he founga ke lotu aí, naʻe fakamatala ʻa Sīsū ki he talanoa fakatātā fekauʻaki mo ha tangata ʻa ia ko ʻene kole “taʻemangoi” naʻe faifai pē ʻo fakalotoʻi ai ha kaumeʻa taʻeloto ke ne ʻoange ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne kolé. Naʻe toe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e loto-lelei ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻá “ke foaki meʻaʻofa lelei” ki heʻenau fānaú. Naʻá ne fakaʻosiʻaki leva: “Kapau ʻoku mou ʻilo ke foaki meʻaʻofa lelei ki hoʻomou fanau, neongo ko e faʻahinga kovi kimoutolu: huanoa ʻa e tamai ʻi he langi ʻene foaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia.” (Luke 11:​1-13, fakaʻītali ʻamautolu.) Ko e poini naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsuú ʻoku makatuʻunga ia, ʻikai ʻi he tuʻunga tataú, ka ʻi he faikehekehé. Kapau ʻe faifai pea lava ʻo fakalotoʻi ha kaumeʻa taʻeloto ke ne fakatōliʻa ʻa e fiemaʻu ʻa hono kaungāʻapí, pea kapau ʻoku tokanga ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻa taʻehaohaoa fakaetangatá ki he ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻa ʻenau fānaú, huanoa hake ai ʻa e lahi ʻo hono tuku mai ʻe heʻetau Tamai fakahēvani ʻofá ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ki heʻene kau sevāniti mateaki ʻoku nau haʻu anga-fakatōkilalo kiate ia ʻi he lotú!

21, 22. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e fakaʻuhinga naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻi heʻene fai ʻa e akonaki ki he feangainga mo e loto-moʻua fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamatelié? (e) Hili hono fakamanatu ʻo e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi founga faiako ʻa Sīsuú, ko e hā ʻa e fakamulituku kuo tau aʻu ki aí?

²¹ Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sīsū ha fakaʻuhinga meimei tatau ʻi heʻene fai ʻa e akonaki ʻi he feangainga mo e loto-moʻua fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamatelié. Naʻá ne pehē: “Mou vakai ʻa e fanga lēveni:  he ʻoku nau tūtūʻi pe tuʻusi, pe ai hanau loki pe feleoko? ka ʻoku fafanga kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua: hono ʻikai [‘huanoa ʻa e,’ NW] mahuʻinga noa pe kimoutolu ʻi he fanga manupuna! Vakai ʻa e ngaahi lile, pē kuo fefe ʻenau tupu: he ʻoku nau fiuʻa ngāue, pe ʻoku nau filo? . . . Pea kapau ʻoku kofu fakatafuʻufuʻu pehē ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa e mohuku, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he kelekele he ʻaho ni, kae tafu ʻaki ʻa e hovani ʻapongipongi; huanoa ʻa kimoutolu, ʻa e kau tuivaivai!” (Luke 12:​24, 27, 28, fakaʻītali ʻamautolu.) ʻIo, kapau ʻoku tokangaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e fanga manupuná mo e ngaahi matalaʻiʻakaú, huanoa hake ai hono lahi hake ʻa ʻene tokanga ki heʻene kau sevānití! Ko e fakaʻuhinga fakaalaala kae mālohi peheé ʻoku ʻikai ha veiveiua ʻa ʻene laveʻi ʻa e loto ʻo e kau fanongo ʻa Sīsuú.

²² Hili hono fakamanatu ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi founga faiako ʻa Sīsuú, te tau malavangofua ai ke fakaʻosiʻaki ko e kau ʻōfisa ko ia naʻe ʻikai malava ke nau puke iá naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ko haʻanau fakamatala fakalahi ʻi heʻenau pehē: “Teʻeki ha tangata ʻe lea hange ko ia.” Ka ko e founga faiako ʻa ia ʻoku ʻiloa taha nai ai ʻa Sīsuú ko hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi talanoa fakatātaá, pe ngaahi pealapelí. Ko e hā naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ai ʻa e founga ko ení? Pea ko e hā naʻá ne ʻai ʻa ʻene ngaahi talanoa fakatātaá ke mātuʻaki ola leleí? Ko e ongo fehuʻi ko ení ʻe lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu hoko maí.
