Fakamaau

Makehe mei he hoko ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko e Fakamāú, te Ne toe hoko foki ko hotau Taukapo ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtua ko e Tamaí. Lau ʻa e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 45:3–5, ka ke manatuʻi ko e taukapó ko “ha taha ʻokú ne tautapa maʻa ha taha kehe” (Bible Dictionary, “Advocate”). Ko e hā ʻokú ne fakafeʻungaʻi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ke tautapa maʻau ko ho Taukapo ki he Tamaí? Ko e hā ʻoku tokoniʻi koe ʻe he potufolofola ko ʻení ke ke ongoʻi fekauʻaki mo Sīsū Kalaisí?

ʻE lava ke tataki koe ʻe hoʻo fakakaukau ki he Fakamaau Fakaʻosí ke ke ongoʻi taʻemanonga pe loto-foʻi. Lau ʻa e ʻĪnosi 1:27 mo e Molonai 10:34, pea fakakaukau ki he ʻuhinga ʻe aʻusia ai ʻe ha niʻihi ha nonga mo ha fiefia ʻi he ʻaho ko iá. Naʻe fakamanatu mai ʻe ʻEletā Kēliti W. Kongo: “ʻI he ʻofa mo e fono fakalangí, ʻoku tau haʻisia ki heʻetau ngaahi filí mo honau ngaahi nunuʻá. Ka ʻoku ‘taʻe-fakangatangata mo taʻengata’ ʻa e ʻofa mo e fakalelei ʻa hotau Fakamoʻuí. Ko e taimi ʻoku tau mateuteu ai ke foki ki ʻapí, naʻa mo e taimi ʻoku tau ʻkei mamaʻo ʻaupito [aí],’ ʻoku mateuteu ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he manavaʻofa lahi ke talitali fiefia kitautolu, mo ʻomi ʻa e lelei taha ʻokú Ne maʻú.”¹ ʻE lava fēfē ke tokoniʻi koe ʻe he manatuʻi mo tokanga taha ki he ʻofa mo e manavaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ke ke mateuteu ki he Fakamaau Fakaʻosí? Ko e hā ʻoku toe mahuʻinga ai ke manatuʻi ʻokú ke haʻisia ki hoʻo ngaahi filí mo honau ngaahi nunuʻá? (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 101:78).

Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e Fakalaloa Lahi ʻo e fānau kotoa ʻa e ʻOtuá (vakai, 2 Nīfai 2:26–28). Mamataʻi fakakulupu ʻa e “The Mediator” (10:44). ʻOku makatuʻunga ʻa e vitiō ko ʻení ʻi ha pōpoaki naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Poiti K. Peeka.² Aleaʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe he tala fakatātā ʻa Palesiteni Pēká fekauʻaki mo Sīsū Kalaisi mo Hono misiona ke fakatou feau ʻa e fakamaau totonú mo e ʻaloʻofá. ʻOku tokoniʻi fēfē kitautolu ʻe he pōpoaki ko ʻení ke mahino lelei ange ʻa e fatongia ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ko hotau Fakamaau (vakai, Molonai 10:34) mo e Taukapó (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 29:5)?

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Tāleni H. ʻOakesi: “ʻOku ‘i ai ha faʻahinga fakamaau ‘e ua: ko e ngaahi fakamaau fakaʻosí, ʻa ia ‘oku taʻofi ke ‘oua te tau faí, mo e ngaahi fakamaau fakakonga, ʻa ia ʻoku fakahinohinoʻi kitautolu ke tau fai kae makatuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻoku māʻoniʻoni.”⁴ Ko e hā ha niʻihi ʻo e “ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻoku māʻoniʻoni” ʻe lava ʻo tokoni ke ke fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei hono fakamaauʻi hala ʻa e niʻihi kehé pe fakamaau taʻe-māʻoniʻoní?

Fakaʻaliʻali pe lau e lea ko ʻeni naʻe fai ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá:

“ʻOku mau [fakatauange] ʻe [tokanga] hotau kāingá telia ʻa e loto ʻo e taha kehé, pea ʻaʻeva ʻi he ʻofa, ʻo fefakaʻapaʻapaʻaki ʻo laka ange ʻiate [kinautolu pē], [ʻo hangē ko ia] ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe he ʻEikí. …

“Kapau ʻe lī ki tuʻa mei homou lotolotongá ʻa e ngaahi lauʻikoví, felauʻiʻakí, mo e ngaahi fakakaukau mo e loto taʻe-ʻofa kotoa: ka mou loto-fakatōkilalo, pea tanumaki ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni kotoa pē ʻo e angatonú mo e ʻofá, ʻe toki nofoʻia kimoutolu ʻe he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻa Sihová, pea te mou toki mamata ki ha ngaahi ʻaho lelei mo nāunauʻia; ʻe ʻi homou ngaahi matapaá ʻa e melinó, pea mo e tuʻumālié ʻi homou ngaahi ngataʻangá.”⁵

Aleaʻi ʻa e founga ʻe lava ke hoko ai ʻetau ngaahi feinga ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he fakamaau taʻe-māʻoniʻoní mo e tukuakiʻi ʻo e niʻihi kehé ke ʻomi ʻa e melinó mo e ngaahi tāpuakí. Ko e fē ha taimi naʻá ke ongoʻi tāpuekina ai ʻi haʻo feinga ke fakamaau māʻoniʻoni?
