TE LEA FAKATAHA ʼO TE KAU GAUE ʼO TE GAUEʼAGA VITE
Neʼe kei nofo ia Sesu ʼi te fale lotu. Neʼe fehuʼi age e te kau pelepitelo pule pea mo te kau takitaki Sutea pe ko ai ʼae neʼe ina fakagafua age ke ina fai te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe ina fai. Pea neʼe ina fai age he ʼu palalau neʼe tupu ai tanatou mole lava tali. Neʼe natou nonofo fakalogologo ai. Neʼe ina fai leva he lea fakatata neʼe fakaha ai tonatou ʼuhiga moʼoni.
Neʼe ui fenei e Sesu: “Kotou fakakaukauʼi age muʼa, ko te tagata mo ʼona foha ʼe lua. Neʼe alu age ki te ʼuluaki ʼo ina ui fenei age: ‘Alu ʼo gaue ʼi te ʼaho nei ʼi te gaueʼaga vite.’ Neʼe ina tali fenei age: ‘ ʼE mole au loto ki ai.’ Kaʼe ki muli age, neʼe fakahemala pea neʼe alu. Neʼe fakaovi te tamai ki te lua pea neʼe toe palalau feia pe ki ai. Neʼe ina tali fenei age: ‘ ʼEi tamai, ʼe au loto ki ai’ kaʼe neʼe mole alu ia. Ko ai ia naua neʼe ina fai te finegalo ʼo tana tamai?” (Mateo 21:28-31) ʼE mahino mai, neʼe ko te ʼuluaki foha ʼae neʼe ina fai te finegalo ʼo tana tamai.
Koia, neʼe ui fenei age e Sesu kia natou ʼae neʼe fakafeagai kia te ia: “ ʼE au tala moʼoni atu kia koutou, ʼe muʼamuʼa anai ia koutou te kau tanaki tukuhau mo te ʼu fafine paomutu ʼi te Puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua.” ʼI te kamata, neʼe mole tauhi te kau tanaki tukuhau mo te ʼu fafine paomutu ki te ʼAtua. Kaʼe, ohage ko te ʼuluaki foha, neʼe natou fakahemala ki muli age pea neʼe natou tauhi leva kia te ia. ʼI te tahi age faʼahi, neʼe hage te kau takitaki lotu ko te lua foha, he neʼe natou ui ʼe natou tauhi ki te ʼAtua, kaʼe neʼe mole moʼoni ia. Pea neʼe ui fenei e Sesu: “Neʼe alu atu ia Soane [Patita] ʼo fakaha atu te ala ʼo te faitotonu, kaʼe neʼe mole kotou tui ki ai. Kaʼe neʼe tui ki ai te kau tanaki tukuhau mo te ʼu fafine paomutu, pea logo la takotou sisio ki te faʼahi ʼaia, kaʼe neʼe mole kotou fakahemala ʼo kotou tui kia ia.”—Mateo 21:31, 32.
Neʼe hoko atu e Sesu ʼaki tana fakamatala he tahi age lea fakatata. Neʼe ina fakaha ai neʼe mole gata pe te mole fia tauhi ʼa te kau takitaki lotu ki te ʼAtua, kaʼe neʼe natou toe agakovi ʼaupito. Neʼe ui fenei e Sesu: “Neʼe to e he tagata he gaueʼaga vite, ʼo ina ʼa, mo ina keli ai he lomiʼaga vite pea mo ina laga ai he tule. Neʼe ina tuku age ki he kau gaue kele pea neʼe folau ki te tahi fenua. ʼI te hoko mai ʼo te temi toli vite, neʼe ina fekauʼi he tagata kaugana ke alu ki te kau gaue kele, ʼo kumi mai te vahe ʼo te ʼu fuaʼi vite. Kaʼe neʼe natou puke ia ia, ʼo natou ta, pea mo fakaliliu ʼatea ia ia. Neʼe ina toe fekauʼi age te tahi tagata kaugana pea neʼe natou ta tona ʼulu pea mo fakalainoaʼi. Neʼe ina fekauʼi te tahi age, pea neʼe natou matehi ia ia. Neʼe ina toe fekauʼi te tahi ʼu kaugana ʼe kaugā malie, kaʼe neʼe natou ta ʼihi, pea neʼe natou matehi ʼihi.”—Maleko 12:1-5.
Ko natou ʼae neʼe fagono kia Sesu, neʼe natou mahino koa ki te lea fakatata ʼaia? Neʼe lagi natou manatuʼi te ʼu valoki ʼae neʼe fai e Isaia ki te puleʼaga ʼo Iselaele, ʼi tana ui fenei: “Ko te gaueʼaga vite ʼa Sehova ʼo te ʼatu kautau ʼe ko te puleʼaga ʼo Iselaele. Ko te ʼu tagata ʼo Suta ʼe ko te gaueʼaga ʼae neʼe ʼofa ai. Neʼe haga ʼamanaki ki te faitotonu, kaʼe neʼe ko te heʼe faitotonu ia.” (Esaia 5:7, MN) Neʼe tatau mo te lea fakatata ʼa Sesu. Ko te pule ʼo te kele ʼe ko Sehova, pea ko te gaueʼaga vite ʼe ko te puleʼaga ʼo Iselaele, ʼae neʼe ʼa pea mo puipui e te Lao ʼa te ʼAtua. Neʼe fekauʼi e Sehova te kau polofeta ke natou akoʼi tana hahaʼi pea mo tokoni kia natou ke natou fua lelei.
Kaʼe neʼe gaohi koviʼi pea mo matehi e “te kau gaue kele” ia “te ʼu tagata kaugana” ʼae neʼe fekauʼi kia natou. Neʼe fakamahino fenei e Sesu: “Neʼe ina [te pule ʼo te gaueʼaga vite] fekauʼi fakamuli leva tona foha ʼofaina kia natou, ʼo manatu fenei: ‘ ʼE natou fakaʼapaʼapa anai ki toku foha.’ Kaʼe neʼe feuiʼaki fenei e te kau gaue kele ʼaia: ‘Koʼeni ia ia ʼae ka ina maʼu te tofiʼa. Tou matehi ia ia, pea ʼe tou maʼu anai te tofiʼa.’ Koia, neʼe natou puke ai ia ia, . . . pea neʼe natou matehi ia ia.”—Maleko 12:6-8.
Neʼe fehuʼi fenei leva e Sesu: “Kotea ʼae ka fai anai e te pule ʼo te gaueʼaga vite?” (Maleko 12:9) Neʼe tali fenei age e te kau takitaki lotu: “ ʼUhi ko tanatou agakovi, ʼe ina fakahoko anai kia natou he fakaʼauha fakamataku. Pea ʼe ina tuku anai te gaueʼaga vite ki te tahi age kau gaue kele, ʼae ka natou foaki age anai tona vahe ʼi tona temi toli.”—Mateo 21:41.
Neʼe mole natou iloʼi, kaʼe neʼe natou tala ai te fakamau ʼae ka fakahoko anai kia natou totonu, koteʼuhi neʼe natou kau ʼi “te kau gaue kele” ʼo “te gaueʼaga Maleko 12:10, 11) Neʼe fakaha lelei leva e Sesu tana manatu, ʼo ina ui fenei: “Koia ʼae ʼe au tala atu kia koutou, ʼe toʼo anai te Puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua mai ia koutou pea ʼe foaki anai ki he hahaʼi ʼe natou fakafua anai.”—Mateo 21:43.
vite” ʼa Sehova, ʼae neʼe ko te puleʼaga ʼo Iselaele. Ko te fua ʼae neʼe feala ke ʼamanaki ki ai Sehova mai te kau gaue kele, neʼe ko hanatou tui ki tona ʼAlo, te Mesia. Neʼe sioʼi fakahagatonu e Sesu te kau takitaki lotu pea mo ina ui fenei: “Neʼe heʼeki kotou lau koa te folafola ʼaeni: ‘Ko te maka ʼae neʼe liakī e te kau tufuga, kua liliu ko te maka tafito ʼo te agele, ʼe haʼu mai ia Sehova pea ʼe fakaofoofo ki ʼotatou mata’?” (Neʼe mahino te kau sekelipa pea mo te kau pelepitelo pule neʼe fai e Sesu “te lea fakatata ʼaia ʼo ʼuhiga mo natou.” (Luka 20:19) Neʼe lahi age ai tanatou fia matehi ia Sesu, “ia ia ʼae ka ina maʼu te tofiʼa.” Kaʼe neʼe natou matataku ʼi te hahaʼi, he ʼe kia natou ko Sesu neʼe ko he polofeta, koia neʼe mole natou faiga ai ke natou matehi ia ia ʼi te temi ʼaia.
