Ko e ʻOtua ʻo e Fuakava Motuʻá

Koeʻuhí ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ʻi he fakahā ʻo onopōní ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo e Fuakava Motuʻá (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 110:3–4), te tau lava ʻo vakai ki Hono mālohí ʻi he Fakatupú pea ko e Tokotaha Foaki Fono Ia ʻi he Moʻunga Sainaí ʻi hono akoʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ki he founga te nau hoko ai ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtuá. ʻOku tau ako ki Heʻene ʻaloʻofá ʻi he huhuʻi mei he nofo pōpula ʻi ʻIsipité, ʻEne ʻofá ʻi hono tokangaʻi Hono kakaí ʻi he toafá mo ʻave kinautolu ki he fonua ʻo e talaʻofá, pea naʻe hokohoko atu ʻEne tokangá ʻaki ʻEne fekauʻi atu ha kau palōfita mo ʻoatu ha fakamolemole ki ʻIsileli ʻi heʻenau fakatomala mei heʻenau ngaahi angahalá.

ʻOku lahi ha ngaahi fakataipe (pe fakatātā fakafofonga) ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he ngaahi talanoa ʻo e Fuakava Motuʻá, ʻa ia ʻoku fakamelomelo ʻe he ngaahi talanoa lahi ʻEne hāʻele mai ʻi he kahaʻú ʻo hangē ko hono lekooti ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. ʻOku fakamelomelo mai ʻe he talanoa ʻo ʻĒpalahame mo ʻAisaké ʻa hono feilaulauʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ko e Tamaí ʻa Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻe fakahaofi ʻe Siosefa hono ngaahi tokouá mei he fiekaia fakaesinó, ʻo hangē pē ko hono fakahaofi kitautolu ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi mei he fiekaia fakalaumālié. Naʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻe Mōsese hono kakaí mei he nofo pōpulá ʻo hangē ko hono fakatauʻatāinaʻi kitautolu ʻe Sīsū mei he angahalá. Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ki he fānau ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻa e mālohi ʻo e tui kiate Ia mo ʻEne Fakaleleí ʻi he talanoa ʻo e ngata palasá ʻi he feituʻu maomaonganoá. Naʻe hoko ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo ʻIlaisa ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ʻi heʻena fakamoʻui ʻa e mahakí mo fokotuʻu ʻa e maté.

ʻOku fakataipe ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he ngaahi talanoa ʻo e Fuakava Motuʻá mo e fono ʻa Mōsesé. ʻOku tuhu e ngaahi talanoa ʻo e Laka Atú mo e feilaulau ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsesé kia Kalaisi. Naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he kau palōfita ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá ʻa e mahakí mo fokotuʻu hake ʻa e maté, ʻo fakamelomeloʻi e misiona ʻo Sīsuú. Naʻe talaʻofa mai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi he palōfita ko Selemaiá ha “fuakava foʻou” (Selemaia 31:31; vakai foki, veesi 32).

ʻOku hāʻele mai ʻa Sīsū ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú, ko hano fakakakato ia ʻo e fonó mo e kau palōfita ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá. Naʻá Ne fakahoko ʻa e fuakava foʻoú ʻi he Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá mo fokotuʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakataipe ʻo e fuakavá lolotonga ʻo e maʻu meʻatokoni ʻo e Laka Atú ʻi he ʻOhomohe Fakaʻosí. Naʻe akoʻi kitautolu ʻe Sīsū ke tau feʻofaʻaki mo fetokoniʻaki ʻi Heʻene fakamoʻui ʻa e mahakí mo fokotuʻu hake ʻa e maté. Naʻá Ne huhuʻi kitautolu mei he angahalá mo e maté ʻo fakafou ʻi Heʻene Fakaleleí, pea naʻá Ne fokotuʻu Hono Siasí ʻi he māmaní. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ai ko Sīsū ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo e Fuakava Motuʻá, ʻe lava ke toe mahino lelei ange Ia kiate kitautolu ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú.

Ko e fuakava faka-ʻĒpalahamé ko ha ngaahi talaʻofa mo ha ngaahi tāpuaki hokohoko ia naʻe foaki kia ʻĒpalahame ʻa ia ʻoku kei hokohoko mai pē ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni ʻi he “fuakava foʻou mo taʻengata” naʻe toe fakafoki mai ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá (vakai, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 132:30–31). Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻo pehē:

“Naʻe hā mai ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí ke toe fakafoʻou e fuakava faka-ʻĒpalahamé. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá:

“Naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻĒpalahame ʻa e ngaahi talaʻofa ʻo kau ki hono hakó, pea mo e fua ʻo hono manavá—ʻa ia ko hono manavá kuó ke tupu mei aí, ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siosefá. …

“ʻʻOku ʻamoutolu foki ʻa e talaʻofá ni, koeʻuhí he ko hoʻomou tupu meia ʻĒpalahame [Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 132:30–31].”

Naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi he fuakava ko ʻení ha fāmili angatonu ʻa ia te Ne lava ʻo akoʻi ai ʻEne ongoongoleleí mo ʻomi ʻEne fānaú kia Sīsū Kalaisi. Naʻe akoʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻAposetolo ko Paulá kapau te tau haʻu kia Kalaisi, ʻoku tau hoko ko e konga ʻo e fāmili ʻo ʻĒpalahamé: “Kapau ʻoku ʻo Kalaisi ʻa kimoutolu, pea ta ko e hako ʻo ʻĒpalahame ʻa kimoutolu, pea ko e [kau ʻea-hoko] ʻo fakatatau mo e talaʻofá” (Kalētia 3:29; vakai foki, veesi 27). ʻOku fakafou ʻi he fuakava faka-ʻĒpalahamé ʻa e hoko ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ko e fale ʻo ʻIsileli mo e kau ʻea-hoko ki he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e fuakava faka-ʻĒpalahamé.

Te tau lava ʻo ako fekauʻaki mo hotau fatongia ʻi he fuakavá ʻaki ʻetau vakaiʻi e moʻui ʻa kinautolu ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá, ʻaki hono ako e ngaahi talaʻofa naʻe fai ʻe he ʻEikí ki Heʻene fānaú ʻi he ngaahi fekaú, pea fakafanongo ki he kau palōfita ʻo e kuongamuʻá ne nau tautapa ki he fānau ʻo ʻIsilelí ke nau fakatomala mo talangofua ki heʻenau ngaahi fuakavá.

ʻI heʻetau lau e Fuakava Motuʻá, te tau lava ʻo fekumi ki ha ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻo hono tauhi ʻe he ʻEikí e ngaahi talaʻofa naʻe fai ʻi he fuakava faka-ʻĒpalahamé. Ko e ngaahi tāpuaki mahuʻinga taha ʻe tolú ko e fonuá, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakataipe ha tofiʻa ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo e Tamai Hēvaní; hakó, ʻa ia ko ha talaʻofa ʻo e tupulaki taʻengatá; mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí mo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, “ʻa ia ko e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e fakamoʻuí, ʻio ʻo e moʻui taʻengatá” (ʻĒpalahame 2:11).

Naʻe talaʻofa kia ʻĒpalahame “ʻe monūʻia ʻiate koe ʻa e ngaahi fāmili kotoa pē ʻo māmaní” ʻo fakafou ʻi hono hakó (Sēnesi 12:3). Naʻe ʻuhinga eni ʻe hāʻele mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ki he māmaní ʻo fakafou ʻi he hako ʻo ʻĒpalahamé pea tāpuakiʻi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo e māmaní ʻo fakafou ʻi Heʻene Fakaleleí mo e Toetuʻú (vakai, Kalētia 3:16).

Fakaikiiki mei he Ketisemani, tā ʻe J. Kirk Richards, ʻoua naʻa hiki hano tatau

Ko e hā ha ngaahi tāpuaki ʻokú ke vakai ki ai ʻi hoʻo moʻuí he ʻahó ni koeʻuhí ko e fuakava faka-ʻĒpalahamé?

Fakataha mo e ngaahi tāpuakí ʻoku kau ʻi he hoko ko ha konga ʻo e fuakava faka-ʻĒpalahamé ha ngaahi fatongia pau. ʻI heʻetau ako e Fuakava Motuʻá, ʻoku tau ako e founga ke moʻui ʻaki ai ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá. ʻI heʻenau hoko ko e fāmili ʻo ʻĒpalahamé, ʻoku ui ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ke tānaki ʻa ʻIsileli. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau kau ai ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ngāue fakaetauhí, ngāue fakatemipalé, ngaahi uiuiʻi faka-Siasí, mo hono akoʻi mo ohi hake hotau ngaahi fāmilí, ʻoku tau tānaki fakataha ai ʻa ʻIsileli ʻaki hono ʻomi e niʻihi kehé ke nau ofi ange kia Kalaisi.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni: “Ka ʻi ai ha faʻahinga taimi ʻokú ke fai ai ha faʻahinga meʻa ʻoku tokoni ki ha faʻahinga taha pē—ʻi he ongo tafaʻaki ʻo e veilí—ʻo ke fai ha ngaahi fuakava mo e ʻOtuá pea maʻu honau ouau papitasó mo e ouau fakatemipalé, ko hoʻo tokoni ia ki hono tānaki ʻo ʻIsilelí.”
