Mahuʻinga Lahi ʻo e Ngaahi Mataʻitofé

⁵ ʻOku taau ke fakatokangaʻi ʻa e meʻa kehe fekauʻaki mo e mēsianiti tefito ko ení. Ko ha mēsianiti anga-maheni te ne ʻuluaki fikaʻi nai ʻa e mahuʻinga fakamāketi ʻo e mataʻitofé koeʻuhi ke fakapapauʻi ai ʻa e lahi ʻo e meʻa te ne totongi ki aí koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu ai ha tupu.

Ka ʻoku ʻikai pehē ia ʻi he mēsianiti ʻi he pealapeli ʻa Sīsuú. Ko ʻene mahuʻingaʻiá naʻe ʻikai ʻi he meʻa fakapaʻangá pe fakamatelié. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻá ne loto-lelei ke feilaulauʻi “ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe naʻa ne maʻu”—ʻa e kotoa nai ʻo ʻene ngaʻotoʻotá mo e koloá—koeʻuhí ke maʻu mai ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne kumi ki aí.

 7. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū naʻá ne mahinoʻi lelei ʻa e mahuʻinga lahi ʻo e Puleʻangá?

⁷ ʻI hono fakahaaʻi ʻene pealapelí, naʻe talanoa ai ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e “Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani.” Ko iá tonu naʻá ne mahinoʻi moʻoni ʻa e mahuʻinga lahi ʻo e Puleʻangá. ʻOku ʻomai ʻe he ngaahi fakamatala Kōsipelí ʻa e fakamoʻoni mālohi ki he moʻoniʻi meʻa ko iá. Hili ʻene papitaiso ʻi he 29 T.S., naʻe hoko ai ʻa Sīsū ʻo kamata “malanga, ʻo pehe, Mou fakatomala, he kuo ofi ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani.” Naʻá ne akoʻi ʻo feʻunga mo e taʻu ʻe tolu mo e konga ʻa e fuʻu tokolahi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻangá. Naʻá ne fononga ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ki he ngataʻanga ʻe taha ʻo e fonuá, “ʻo fakatotofu ʻa e kolo mo e vilisi, ʻi heʻene fanongonongo ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtua, mo ne tala hono ongoongolelei.”—Mātiu 4:17; Luke 8:1.

 8. Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ke fakahāhā ai ʻa e meʻa ʻe fakahoko ʻe he Puleʻangá?

⁸ ʻI hono fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi mana lahi ʻi he kotoa ʻo e fonuá—ʻo kau ai ʻa e fakamoʻui ʻo e mahakí, fafanga ʻa e fiekaiá, fakavaivaiʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻelemēniti ʻo natulá, naʻa mo hono fokotuʻu hake ʻa e maté—naʻe toe fakahāhā ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e meʻa ʻe fakahoko ʻe he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.

Hangē tofu pē ko hono foaki loto-lelei ʻe he mēsianiti fefonongaʻakí ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻá ne maʻú ke maʻu mai ʻa e “mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahi,” naʻe moʻui mo pekia ʻa Sīsū maʻá e Puleʻangá.​—Sione 18:37.

 9. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻulungāanga hāhāmolofia naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e muʻaki kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú?

⁹ Naʻe ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he fakahangataha ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene moʻuí tonu ki he Puleʻangá ka naʻá ne toe tānaki fakataha ha kiʻi kau muimui tokosiʻi. Ko e faʻahingá ni foki ko e faʻahinga tāutaha kinautolu ʻa ia naʻa nau mahinoʻi lelei ʻa e mahuʻinga lahi ʻo e Puleʻangá. Naʻe ʻi honau lotolotongá ʻa ʻAnitelū, ʻa ia ko ha muʻaki ākonga ia ʻa Sione Papitaiso. ʻI he fanongo ki he fakamoʻoni ʻa Sione ko Sīsū ʻa e “Lami ʻa e ʻOtua,” ko ʻAnitelū mo e tokotaha ʻe taha ʻo e kau ākonga ʻa Sioné, ngalingali ko e taha ʻi he ongo foha ʻo Sēpetí naʻe toe ui ko Sioné, naʻe tohoakiʻi ai pē kinaua kia Sīsū peá na hoko ko e ongo tui. Ka naʻe ʻikai ko e ngataʻanga ia ʻo e ngaahi meʻá. Naʻe ʻalu ʻi he taimi pē ko iá ʻa ʻAnitelū ki hono tokoua ko Saimoné ʻo tala ange kiate ia: “ʻE, kuo ma ʻilo ʻa e Misaia.” Taimi nounou mei ai, ko Saimone (ʻa ia naʻe hoko ʻo ʻiloa ko Kīfasi, pe Pitá) pea pehē kia Filipe mo hono kaumeʻa ko Nātanielá naʻa nau toe hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻa Sīsū ko e Mīsaiá ia. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe ueʻi ai ʻa Nātaniela ke ne pehē kia Sīsū: “Ko koe ia ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtua; ko e Tuʻi Isileli koe.”—Sione 1:​35-50 (Sio 1:35-49, PM).
