Ko Hono Paotoloaki Hotau Vā Fetuʻutaki mo e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí

Naʻe fekauʻi mai ʻe ha Tamai ʻofa mo poto ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ke huhuʻi kitautolu mei he ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo e angahalá, ʻo fakapapauʻi he ʻikai tuku kitautolu ʻi ha tuʻunga tuʻuloa ʻo e mavahe mei he ʻOtuá. Ka ʻi he meʻaʻofa ʻo e ʻaloʻofa fakalangi ʻa hotau Fakamoʻuí, ʻoku foaki mai ai ʻa e moʻui taʻe-faʻa-maté ʻo ʻikai ha filifilimānako pea mo ha foki ki he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá ke fakamāuʻi (vakai, 2 Nīfai 2:5–10; Hilamani 14:15–17). ʻI he Ngoue ko Ketisemaní pea ʻi Kalevalé, naʻá Ne fakaʻaongaʻi Hono mālohí, ʻa ia naʻe foaki kiate Ia ʻe he Tamaí (vakai, Hilamani 5:11), ke mamahi “maʻá e kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa [tau] mamahi ʻo kapau te [tau] fakatomala” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 19:16). Naʻá Ne luva pea tuku hifo leva ʻEne moʻuí ʻi he fuʻu ʻakau ko iá—maʻatautolu (vakai, 1 Pita 2:24).

Ko e hā leva te tau fai ke paotoloaki ha vā fetuʻutaki mo Ia, ʻa ia naʻá Ne fakahaaʻi mālohi ʻa e meʻa naʻá Ne finangalo lelei ke fai maʻatautolú?

• Te tau hoko ange nai ko ʻEne kau ākonga mateaki?

• Te tau toʻo kakato ange nai Hono huafá kiate kitautolu?

• Te tau haʻisia mo fakatomala lahi ange ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau tōnounou aí?

• Te tau tanumaki nai ʻetau fakamoʻoní?

Ko ha fakaʻilonga mahino ʻe taha ʻo e lahi hono fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá kitautolú ko ʻEne ʻomi ʻa e mālohi paotoloaki mo maluʻi ʻo ʻEne folofolá. Hangē ko e talaʻofa ʻa Nīfaí:

“ʻIlonga ʻa kinautolu ʻe tokanga ki he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻo piki maʻu ki aí, ʻe ʻikai te nau teitei mate; pea ʻe ʻikai foki ke lava ʻo ikunaʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻe he ngaahi ʻahiʻahí mo e ngaahi ngahau vela ʻa e filí ke fakakuihi mo tohoakiʻi atu ʻa kinautolu ki he fakaʻauhá” (1 Nīfai 15:24).

ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻEne folofola moʻuí kiate kitautolu ʻo fakafou ʻi he ngaahi fakamoʻoni fakafolofolá, pea pehē foki ʻi he ngutu ʻo e kau palōfita mo e kau ʻaposetolo moʻuí. ʻOku maʻu ʻi he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ha kau taki kuó Ne fili mo foaki kiate kinautolu ʻa e mālohi mo e mafai ke fakahā Hono finangaló ki Hono kakaí.

ʻE lava ke fakangata ʻe he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ha taha ʻo ʻetau ngaahi fakahehema fakanatula ki ha “anga fakafonuá, tōʻonga moʻuí, fakaʻapeé, ngaahi fakakaukau maʻulaló, mo e veiveiua” fakamāmaní.¹ ʻE lava ke lea hangatonu ʻEne folofolá “ki he konga taupotu taha” ʻo hotau lotó, ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo ʻetau anga māʻoniʻoní.² “ʻE lava ʻe he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo fakamavaheʻi ʻa e moʻoní mei he halá” pea tokoni ke tau ʻiloʻi pea toʻo mei heʻetau fakakaukaú ha ngaahi akonaki hala te ne lava ʻo taʻofi ʻetau fakaʻuhingá mo e mahinó “ʻaki hano fokotuʻu hake kinautolu ke fakafepakiʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni mahinongofua mo mahuʻinga ʻa e ʻOtuá.”³

Ko e hā leva te tau lava ʻo fai ke paotoloaki ʻetau tui ki he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻo hangē ko hono maʻu ʻi he ngaahi folofolá mo ʻEne kau palōfita mo e kau ʻaposetolo kuo filí?

• Te tau “tokanga” lahi ange nai ki heʻenau ngaahi akonakí?

• Te tau “piki maʻu” nai ki he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi ʻoku hoko mai ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí, faingataʻá, pe hoko mai ʻa e ngaahi polé, koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa ikunaʻi kitautolu?

Ko e ngaahi palōmesi mahuʻinga taha ʻoku tau fai mo e ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi palōmesi ʻoku tau fai fakafou ʻi he ngaahi fuakavá. Ko e ngaahi aleapau toputapu ko ʻení ko e founga ia kuo ngāue ai ʻa e ʻOtuá mo ʻEne fānaú talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo taimí. ʻOku tau vakai ki hono fakahaaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻEne tukupā ki Heʻene fānau fuakavá ʻi he kamataʻanga pē ʻo e folofolá—ʻo kamata mei he tohi ʻa Sēnesí (vakai, Sēnesi 6:18)—pea hokohoko atu ʻi he kotoa ʻo e hisitōlia fakafolofolá. ʻE lava ke hoko hono fakahoko mo tauhi ʻo e ngaahi fuakavá ko ha fakahinohino mālohi ʻi he ngaahi fili ʻoku tau faí.

ʻOku fekauʻaki ʻa e “ngaahi talaʻofa ʻoku lahi ʻaupito mo mahuʻinga” ko ʻení (2 Pita 1:4) mo e ngaahi ouau mo e ngaahi fuakava ʻoku tau fai mo e ʻOtua ko e Tamaí ʻo fakafou ʻi Hono ʻAlo, ko Sīsū Kalaisí. Pea ʻoku kole mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ke tau maʻu ia koeʻuhí ke Ne lava ʻo maluʻi kitautolu mei he kovi ʻi he māmaní.

Ko e hā leva te tau lava ʻo fai ke paotoloaki ai hotau vā fetuʻutaki mo e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi heʻetau feinga ke tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakava mo Kinauá?

• Te tau fekumi nai ki ha fiefia lahi ange ʻi he faaitaha mo e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo fakafou ʻi he ngaahi fuakavá?

• Te tau maʻu nai ʻa e sākalamēniti ʻa e ʻEikí ko e fakamanatu mo e fakafoʻou ʻo ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá?

• Te tau teuteuʻi nai kitautolu ke hū ki he fale ʻo e ʻEikí pea fiefia ʻi he ngaahi fuakava ʻoku fakahoko aí?

• Te tau foki maʻu pē nai ki he temipalé?

Ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo e fakamoʻoni fakatāutahá mo e maʻu fakahaá. ʻE lava ke tataki kitautolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻi heʻetau ngaahi filí mo maluʻi kitautolu mei he fakatuʻutāmaki fakatuʻasinó mo fakalaumālié. ʻI Hono mālohí ʻoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ai kitautolu—pe vaheʻi—ʻi heʻetau fakatomalá (vakai, 3 Nīfai 27:20), maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ouau fakamoʻuí, mo tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá.

Lolotonga ʻa e ʻOhomohe Fakaʻosi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mo ʻEne Kau ʻAposetoló, ʻi heʻenau ongoʻi hohaʻa fekauʻaki mo e hoko atu honau hala fonongá (vakai, Sione 14:5), naʻe fai ange ʻe Sīsū ʻa e talaʻofa ko ʻení:

“Ko e Fakafiemālié ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻa ia ʻe fekau ʻe he Tamaí ʻi hoku huafá, te ne akoʻi ʻa kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, mo fakamanatuʻi ʻa kimoutolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻa ia kuó u lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolú” (Sione 14:26).

ʻOku fai mai foki ʻa e talaʻofa ko iá kiate koe mo au.

Ko e hā leva te tau lava ʻo fai ke paotoloaki maʻu ai pē ʻa e takaua ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻa e mēmipa hono tolu ʻo e Toluʻi ʻOtuá, kae lava ke tau maʻu ʻa e maluʻi fakatuʻasino mo fakalaumālie kuo talaʻofa maí?

• Te tau lotua nai ha ueʻi fakalaumālie ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku finangalo ʻa e ʻOtuá ke tau faí pea mo e mālohi mo e ivi ke fai iá?

• Te tau muimui lelei ange nai ki he ngaahi ueʻi fakalaumālie ʻoku tau maʻú ʻi ha founga te ne fakaʻatā ʻa e leʻo ʻo e ʻOtuá ke lāngilangiʻia ʻi heʻetau moʻuí?

• Te tau fekumi nai ʻi he loto-fakamātoato lahi ange mo e taumuʻa, ki he fakamoʻoni fakapapau ʻa e Laumālié ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamaí mo Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ki he ngaahi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí, pea mo e ngaahi ouau fakamoʻui ʻoku maʻu pē ʻi he Siasi ʻo e Fakamoʻuí?

Siʻoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa, ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni atu ʻoku feinga maʻu pē ʻa e ʻOtuá ke folofola atu kiate kimoutolu—ʻo aʻu pē ki he taimi ʻoku ʻikai ke mou lava ai ʻo ʻiloʻi iá. Ko e taimi lahi ʻokú Ne feinga ke fakahā atu ʻokú Ne ʻofa ʻiate koe pea ʻokú Ne fakamuʻomuʻa koe. Kuó Ne ʻomi pea ʻe hokohoko atu ʻEne ʻomi ha ngaahi founga taʻefaʻalaua ke fakahaaʻi ai hotau mahuʻingá mo e meʻa ʻoku tau fakamuʻomuʻá. Tau fakafoki fiefia muʻa ʻEne ʻofá ʻaki ʻetau fakamuʻomuʻa Ia ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. Pea tau paotoloaki leva ʻa e vā fetuʻutaki ko iá ʻaki ʻetau muimui faivelenga kiate Ia ko ʻEne kau ākonga: piki maʻu ki Heʻene folofolá, fakahoko mo tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fuakava mo Iá, mo fekumi maʻu pē ki he takaua ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni ko Sīsū Kalaisí ko e ʻAlo moʻui ia ʻo e ʻOtuá pea naʻá Ne finangalo lelei ke foaki ʻEne moʻuí ke fakahaofi ʻetau moʻuí mo foaki mai ʻa e meʻaʻofa maʻongoʻonga taha ʻa e ʻOtuá: ko e moʻui taʻengatá. Ko ʻEne ngāué mo Hono nāunaú kimoutolu.
