ʼE Feala Koa Hakotou Fakahā Ke Lahi Tokotou ʼOfa?
KO TE seini ʼaē ʼe haʼi kiai te tau ʼo te vaka ʼe tonu ke mālohi ʼaupitō moʼo puke te vaka naʼa tafea. Kae ʼe hoki feala pē te faʼahi ʼaia, mo kapau e mālohi te seini pea mo pipiki maʼu. Heʼe kapau ʼe mole mālohi pea ʼe feala anai ke motu.
Pea ʼe tonu ki te kōkelekāsio faka Kilisitiano ke toe feiā ia tona mālohi. Koia ke mālohi he kōkelekāsio pea mo maʼuli fīmālie, ʼe tonu ki tona ʼu hahaʼi ke fakatahi ʼi te logo tahi. Koteā ʼaē ʼe ina faka fealagia ia te logo tahi ʼaia iā nātou? Ko te ʼofa, heʼe ko he noʼo mālohi ʼaupitō ʼaia ki te logo tahi. Koia ʼe mole tou punamaʼuli ai ki te ʼui fēnei e Sesu Kilisito ki tana ʼu tisipulo: “E au foaki atu kia koutou he fekau foou, koutou feʼofaʼaki o hage ko au, nee au ofa ia koutou, pea koutou feʼofaʼaki. Aki te mea aia, e iloi anai e te tagata fuape, ko koutou ko aku tisipulo, kapau e koutou maù te feʼofaʼofani.” ʼIo, ko te kau Kilisitiano moʼoni ʼe natou maʼu ia te taʼi ʼofa ʼaia iā nātou pea ʼe fakalaka ʼi he ʼofa faka kaumeʼa pea mo he fefakaʼapaʼapaʼaki. ʼE natou fakahā ia te ʼofa faka sākilifisio.—Soane 13:34, 35.
Tou Leleiʼia Totatou ʼu Tehina Mo Tuagaʼane
ʼE lahi te ʼu kōkelekāsio ʼe faʼufaʼu ʼaki te ʼu hahaʼi ʼe nātou taʼu kehekehe, mo tonatou lanu, mo tonatou ʼu puleʼaga, mo tanatou ʼu agaʼi fenua, mo tanatou lea, pea mo tonatou ʼu haʼuʼaga. Ko te hahaʼi takitokotahi ʼaia, ʼe natou manako pea mo fēhihiʼa ki te ʼu meʼa kehekehe, tanatou ʼu falala pea mo tanatou ʼu mataku, kae ʼi te agamāhani ʼe natou tahi ʼamo tana kavega—lagi ko he mahaki peʼe ko he fihifihia faka paʼaga. ʼE feala ki te ʼu ʼaluʼaga
kehekehe ʼaia ke faka faigataʼa ia te logo tahi ʼa te kau Kilisitiano. Koteā ʼaē ʼe lava tokoni kiā tātou ke tou fakahā ke lahi totatou ʼofa pea mo tou logo tahi logolā te faigataʼa ʼo te faʼahi ʼaia? ʼE lahi age anai totatou ʼofa ki te kōkelekāsio kātoa mo kapau ʼe tou fefakaʼapaʼapa moʼoniʼaki.ʼE feafeaʼi hata fakahā ʼe tou leleiʼia he tahi? ʼI te tikisionalio The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, ko te kupu “leleiʼia” ko tona faka ʼuhiga “ko te tokagaʼi ʼo te ʼu meʼa ʼe tau mo ʼihi; ko te faka maʼuhigaʼi tonu; ko te tokagaʼi ʼo te ʼu kalitātē; ko te fakafetaʼi ki he faʼahiga meʼa.” Kapau ʼe tou leleiʼia totatou ʼu tehina mo tuagaʼane, ʼe tou tokagaʼi anai te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe ʼaoga kiā nātou, ʼe tou faka maʼuhigaʼi ʼaupitō ia nātou, ʼe tou tokagaʼi tonatou ʼu kalitātē, pea ʼe tou fakafetaʼi ki tanatou fakatahi mo tātou ʼi te tauhi. Pea ʼe lahi age anai totatou ʼofa ʼaē kiā nātou. Kā tou vakaʼi fakanounou te manatu ʼaē neʼe tohi e te ʼapositolo ko Paulo ʼi te ʼuluaki sēkulō ki te kau Kilisitiano ʼo Kolonito, ʼe tou mahino ai anai peʼe feafeaʼi hatatou fakahā ke lahi age ia te ʼofa faka Kilisitiano.
Neʼe “Fihifihia” Te Kau Kolonito
Neʼe tohi e Paulo tana ʼuluaki tohi ki te kau Kolonito ʼi te taʼu 55 ʼo totatou temi pea ko tana lua tohi neʼe ina tohi ʼi te taʼu pē ʼaia neʼe ina fai tana ʼuluaki tohi. ʼI tana ʼu palalau ʼe tou mahino ai, ko ʼihi ʼi te kōkelekāsio ʼo Kolonito neʼe mole natou faʼa leleiʼia tonatou ʼu tehina mo tuagaʼane. Neʼe fakamatala fēnei e Paulo te ʼaluʼaga ʼaē neʼe hoko, ʼo ina ʼui fēnei: “Nee matou . . . fakahaha atu kia koutou, kaiga o Kolinito, nee ava atu omatou loto. E mole koutou fihifihia ia matou. E koutou fihifihia’pe i outou loto.” (2 Kolonito 6:11, 12) Neʼe koteā ʼaē neʼe manatu kiai ia Paulo ʼi tana fakamatala ʼo ʼuhiga mo nātou ʼaē ʼe natou “fihifihia” ʼi ʼonatou loto?
Neʼe ina fia ʼui, ko te ʼofa ʼa te kau Kolonito neʼe mole lahi pea neʼe mole iā nātou ia te loto foaki. Ko te tagata fai Tohi-Tapu, neʼe ina ʼui ko te ʼofa ʼo te kau Kilisitiano ʼo Kolonito kiā Paulo neʼe “māpunu ʼi he ʼu fihifihia mole faʼa maʼuhiga . . . pea ʼuhi heʼe natou manatuʼi tāfito ia tonatou matagafua.”
Kotou fakatokagaʼi te tokoni ʼaē neʼe fai e Paulo: “Koutou fakapale matou, e au lea atu kia koutou o hage ko haku u fanau, koutou fakaava lahi outou loto.” (2 Kolonito 6:13) Neʼe fakaloto mālohiʼi e Paulo ia te kau Kolonito ke natou fakahā ke lahi tonatou ʼofa ki tonatou ʼu tehina pea mo tuagaʼane. Ko tona faka ʼuhiga ko ʼonatou loto ʼe ina uga ia nātou, ʼaki he aga fakapotopoto pea mo fia foaki, kae mole ina uga nātou ke natou loto mahalohalo pea mo efihia.

ʼE ko he meʼa fakaloto fīmālie hata sio ki te kau ʼatolasio moʼoni ʼe natou faiga mālohi iā ʼaho nei ke natou fefakahāʼaki ke lahi ia tonatou ʼofa. ʼI tona fakahagatonu, ʼe tonu ke tou faiga mālohi moʼo fakahā ke lahi te ʼofa. ʼE mole ko he ʼofa ʼe kita maʼu pē ʼi tokita muʼamuʼa gutu, kae ko te fakahā ke lahi te ʼofa, ʼe fakamaʼua ke kita kehe mo te hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe mole natou fakalogo ki te ʼu lēkula faka Tohi-Tapu. ʼI te agamāhani, ko te hahaʼi ʼaia ʼe mole lahi tanatou leleiʼia niʼihi. ʼE feala ke natou aga nekenekea, pea mo heʼe fakaʼapaʼapa, pea mo kiasi. Koia, ʼaua naʼa tou muliʼi tanatou ʼu aga ʼaia. ʼI meʼa fakaʼofaʼofa anai mo kapau ohagē ko nātou ʼaē ʼi Kolonito ʼe mole tou fakahā tota ʼofa ʼuhi heʼe mole tou falala ki totatou ʼu tehina mo tuagaʼane. ʼE feala pē ke hoko he meʼa feiā, mo kapau ʼe foimo tuʼu pē tata sio ʼi te ʼu hala ʼa he Kilisitiano kae tou tuai ʼi te fakatokagaʼi ʼo tona ʼu puani mālohi. ʼE toe feala pē foki ke hoko te faʼahi ʼaia, mo kapau ʼe veliveli tota ʼofa ki he tahi ʼuhi heʼe kehekehe totatou ʼu agaʼi fenua.

Ke Lahi Totatou ʼOfa Pea Mo Tou Kumi Hotatou ʼu Kaumeʼa
Ko te ʼofa moʼoni ʼe ina faka fealagia ke lahi tota ʼofa ki niʼihi age pea mo tou kumi ʼi te kōkelekāsio ke tou faka kaumeʼa mo nātou ʼaē ʼe mole feʼiloʼiʼaki lelei mo tātou. Ko ai koa te ʼu hahaʼi ʼaia? Lagi ko ihi ʼi totatou ʼu tehina mo tuagaʼane ʼe mole lahi

Kae ʼi te Tohi-Tapu, ʼe ʼi ai koa niʼihi neʼe kaumeʼa lelei logolā te ʼu faʼahi neʼe hagē ai ʼe mole natou felōgoi ai?Ohagē lā, ko Lute pea mo Naomi neʼe mole nā taʼiake tahi, neʼe kehekehe tonā ʼu fenua pea mo tanā agaʼi fenua, pea mo tanā lea. Kae neʼe nā felōgoi pē logolā te ʼu ʼaluʼaga kehekehe ʼaia. Neʼe lahilahi ake ia Sonatane ko te tama ʼaliki, pea ko Tavite neʼe ko te tama tauhi ōvi. Pea neʼe nā vaha mamaʼo ʼi tonā ʼu taʼu, kae neʼe nā felōgoi lelei, pea ʼe fakamatala ia tonā faka kaumeʼa lelei ʼi te Tohi-Tapu. ʼI te ʼu aga faka kaumeʼa ʼaia e lua, neʼe ko he meʼa fakafiafia pea mo he tokoni fakalaumālie maʼa nātou ʼaia.—Lute 1:16; 4:15; 1 Samuele 18:3; 2 Samuele 1:26.
