Ko e ʻUluaki Mata Meʻa Hā Maí

Fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e fakatātā 3–8, ʻOku kumi ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ha Poto mei he Tohi Tapú.

Fakamatalaʻi ange ki he fānaú naʻe nofo fakataha pē ʻa Siosefa Sāmita mo hono fāmilí ʻi heʻene taʻu hongofulu mā faá. Ko e taimi ko ʻení, naʻe fuʻu tokanga ʻaupito ʻa e kakai honau feituʻú ki he meʻa ko e lotu. Naʻe fai ʻe he kau faifekau ʻo e ngaahi siasi kehé ha ngaahi fakataha ke nau malangaʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi tuí. Naʻe pehē ʻe he faifekau taki taha ko hono siasí naʻe moʻoní. Pea nau feinga ke fakaului atu ki ai ʻa e kakaí. Pea ʻi he fie maʻu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ke ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e siasi ʻoku moʻoní, naʻá ne ʻalu ai ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻa e ngaahi siasi kehekehe ko ʻení. Naʻá ne ʻilo mei ai ʻoku kehekehe pē ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa e faifekau taki taha ʻo kau ki he ʻOtuá pea mo e folofolá.

Kapau ʻoku poto ha taha ʻi he kalasí he lau tohí peá ke tokoni ki ai ke ne lau ʻa e Siosefa Sāmita 2:10 pe ko hoʻo lau leʻo lahi. Kamataʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea ko ʻení, “Naʻá ku faʻa pehē ʻi hoku lotó … “

Fakamamafaʻi ange naʻe puputuʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻi he lahi ʻo e ngaahi fakakaukau naʻá ne fanongo aí. Naʻá ne fifili pe ko e fē nai ʻi he ngaahi siasi ko ʻení naʻe moʻoní pea naʻa nau hala kotoa pē kinautolu. Naʻe kau ʻa e fineʻeiki ʻa Siosefá mo e toko ua ʻo hono ngaahi tokouá pea mo hono tuofefine ʻe toko taha ki he Siasi Pelesipiteliané, ka naʻe ʻikai pē ke kau ʻa Siosefa ia ki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi siasí ni.

Fakaʻaliʻali ki he fānaú ha Tohi Tapu peá ke fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe faʻa lau maʻu pē ʻe Siosefa ʻa e Tohi Tapú. ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻá ne lau ai ha veesi folofola ʻa ia naʻe fuʻu ongo ʻaupito ki hono lotó.

Fekau ha tamasiʻi pe taʻahine lahi ke ne lau leʻo lahi ʻa e Sēmisi 1:5 pe ko haʻo lau leʻo lahi pē ʻe koe.

Toe lau ʻa e veesi folofolá. Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e potu folofola ko ʻení ke tau lotu ki he Tamai Hēvaní ʻo kole ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau maʻu ha mahino mo ako ʻo kau ki ha faʻahinga meʻa.

Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa Sāmita naʻe ʻikai ke ne maʻu ha poto. Naʻá ne puputuʻu. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻiloʻi pe ko e fē ʻa e siasi moʻoní, ko ia naʻá ne fakakaukau ai ke ne fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tala mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú—ke ne lotu ki he Tamai Hēvaní.

Huluʻi ʻa e ʻUluaki Mamata Meʻa Hā Maí, pe ko haʻo fai pē ʻa e talanoa ko ʻení:

ʻI ha pongipongi ʻe taha ʻi he faʻahitaʻu failaú, naʻe ʻalu atu ai ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ki ha vaoʻakau ofi pē ki honau ʻapí. Hili haʻane vakavakai holo ke fakapapauʻi ko ia toko taha pē naʻe ʻi aí, naʻá ne tūʻulutui leva ke lotu.

ʻI he lolotonga ʻo ʻene lotú, naʻá ne mamata ki ha maama ʻi ʻolunga ʻi hono ʻulú. Ko e fakamatala ʻeni ʻa Siosefa ki he meʻa naʻá ne mamata ki aí: “ʻI he nofo mai ʻa e māmá ʻiate aú, naʻá ku sio ki ha Ongo Tangata ʻe toko ua, ʻa ia ko hona ngingilá mo e nāunaú ʻoku ʻikai faʻa lava ke mafakamatalaʻi, ʻokú na tuʻu mai ki ʻolunga ʻiate au ʻi he ʻataá” (Siosefa Sāmita 2:17).

Fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e fakatātā 3–10, Ko e Fuofua Meʻa Hā Maí.

Naʻe folofola mai ha toko taha kia Siosefa, ʻo ne ui ia ʻaki hono hingoá, mo ne tuhu ki he toko taha ʻo pehē, “Ko Hoku ʻAlo ʻOfaʻangá ʻEni!” Fanongo kiate Ia! (Siosefa Sāmita 2:17).

Naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe Siosefa ki he Tamai Hēvaní pea mo Sīsū pe ko e fē ʻa e siasi moʻoní ke ne kau ki ai. Naʻe fakahā ange kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻá ne kau ki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi siasí ni he naʻa nau hala kotoa. Naʻe ʻilo heni ʻe Siosefa naʻe ʻikai ke kei ʻi he māmaní ʻa e siasi moʻoni ʻo Sīsuú.

ʻOku ui ʻi he taimí ni ʻa e feituʻu naʻe mamata ai ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ki he Tamai Hēvaní pea mo Sīsuú ko e Vaotā Toputapú.

Mou hivaʻi pe lau ʻa e lea ʻo e “Naʻe Lelei Fau ʻa e ʻAhó.” Pe ko haʻo fakaafeʻi mai ha taha ke ne hivaʻi ʻa e foʻi hiva ko ʻení ki he fānaú.

Naʻe fai ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ha tohi ki ha tangata ʻe taha ʻo fakamatalaʻi ange kiate ia ʻa e meʻa ʻoku akoʻi ʻe he Siasí. Naʻe ʻiloa ʻa e konga ʻo e tohi ko iá ko e Ngaahi Tefito ʻo e Tuí.

Tokoni ki he fānaú ke nau lau ʻa e Tefito ʻo e Tui ʻuluakí, ʻa ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻoku tau tui ki he Tamai Hēvaní, Sīsū Kalaisi pea mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

Fai hoʻo fakamoʻoní naʻe mamata ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ki he Tamaí pea mo e ʻAló, peá ke fakahā ʻa hoʻo fakamālō koeʻuhí ko Siosefa Sāmita.

Fakamoʻoniʻi naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻoku moʻoni ʻa e talaʻofa ko ia ʻi he tohi Sēmisi 1:5. Kapau ʻoku tau masiva poto pea ʻe lava pē ke tau kole ki he Tamai Hēvaní pea te tau maʻu ha tali ki ai.

Fakamoʻoniʻi ʻoku ʻofa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní pea mo Sīsū ʻiate kitautolu hono kotoa. Te na tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tali ki heʻetau ngaahi fehuʻí ʻo hangē pe ko ʻena tokoniʻi ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá. Mahalo pē he ʻikai ke hā mai ha kau talafekau fakalangi kiate kitautolu; ka ʻo kapau te tau kole fakamātoato, ʻe tali mai ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ʻa ʻetau ngaahi lotú ʻi he founga ʻe lelei taha kiate kitautolú.

Fakaafeʻi ha taha ʻo e fānaú ke ne fai ʻa e lotu tukú. Kole kiate ia ke ne fakamālō ki he Tamai Hēvaní koeʻuhí ko Siosefa Sāmita pea mo ʻene mamata ki he Tamai Hēvaní pea mo Sīsuú.
