ʻI ha tali ki ha fehuʻi naʻe fai ʻe Pita fekauʻaki mo e fakamolemolé, naʻe akoʻi ai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e talanoa fakatātā ʻo e tamaioʻeiki taʻefakamolemolé. ʻE lava ke tokoni ‘a e lēsoni ko ʻení ke ke hoko ʻo hangē ange ko e Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi hoʻo feinga ke fakamolemoleʻi e niʻihi kehé.

• Ko e hā ha ngaahi fakakaukau naʻe fakakaukau ki ai ʻa Koli ʻi he momeniti ko iá?

• Ko e hā ha ʻuhinga ʻoku faʻa faingataʻa ai ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé?

Lau ʻa e Mātiu 18:21–22 ke ʻilo pe naʻe tali fēfē ʻe Sīsū ha fehuʻi naʻe fai ʻe Pita fekauʻaki mo e fakamolemolé.

• Te ke fakamatalaʻi fēfē ʻa e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ‘e Sīsū kia Pitá?

• ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻoku fekauʻi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ke tau hoko ko e kakai faʻa fakamolemolé?

• Ko e hā haʻo ngaahi fehuʻi ʻokú ke maʻu fekauʻaki mo e fekau ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke tau fakamolemoleʻi ‘a e niʻihi kehé?

Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi ongo ʻokú ke maʻu fekauʻaki mo e fakamolemolé. ʻOku ʻi ai nai ha taha ʻoku faingataʻa ke ke fakamolemoleʻi? Hiki ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó ʻa e founga ʻe tāpuekina ai hoʻo moʻuí kapau te ke lava ʻo fakamolemoleʻi ʻa kinautolu ne nau fakaʻitaʻi koé. Fakakaukau foki ke lēkooti ʻa e founga naʻe mei kehe ai hoʻo moʻuí kapau naʻe ʻikai ke ke feinga ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé.ʻI hoʻo ako ha talanoa fakatātā naʻe vahevahe ʻe he ʻEikí mo Pitá, kumi e founga ʻe lava ai ʻe he finangalo lelei ʻa e ʻEikí ke fakamolemoleʻi kitautolú ʻo fakamālohia hoʻo malava ke fakamolemoleʻi e niʻihi kehé.

Ko e Talanoa Fakatātā ʻo e Tamaioʻeiki Taʻefakamolemolé

Lau ʻa e Mātiu 18:23–27, ʻo kumi ki he founga ʻoku fakafeangai ʻaki ʻe he tuʻi ʻi he talanoa fakatātaá ki heʻene tokotaha fakamoʻuá. ʻOku mahuʻinga ke ʻilo ko e talēniti ʻe 10,000 ko ha moʻua ia ʻoku ʻikai lava ke totongi. Naʻe mei fie maʻu ha tangata ngāue masiva ʻi he kuonga ʻo Sīsuú ha taʻu ʻe 250,000 tupu ke maʻu ʻa e paʻanga lahi ko iá (vakai Jay A. Parry and Donald W. Parry, Understanding the Parables of Jesus Christ [2006], 95).

• ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ha moʻua ʻoku ʻikai lava ke totongí ke akoʻi ʻaki ʻa e talanoa fakatātā ko ʻení?

Lau ʻa e toenga ʻo e talanoa fakatātaá ʻi he Mātiu 18:28–35, ʻo kumi e founga ʻoku totonu ke tau fakafeangai aí pea mo hono ʻuhingá. ʻOku tokoni ke ʻilo ko e tenali ʻe 100 ‘oku fakafuofua ia ko e “vahe māhina ʻe tolu ia ʻo ha tangata ngāue masivá” ( veesi 28, futinouti a).

1. Tali ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó:

• Ko e hā ʻokú ke ako fekauʻaki mo e fakamolemolé mei he talanoa fakatātā ko ení?

• Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ke mahino ʻa e lahi ʻo e ʻaloʻofa ʻoku foaki mai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí maʻatautolú?

Ko e moʻoni ʻe taha te tau lava ʻo ako mei he talanoa fakatātā ko ʻení ʻe lava ke tau muimui ki he sīpinga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ʻaki hono fakamolemoleʻi e niʻihi kehé ʻo hangē ko ʻEne fakamolemoleʻi kitautolú.

Naʻe toe fakamamafaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e mahuʻinga hono fakamolemoleʻi ʻo e niʻihi kehé ʻi hotau kuongá. Lau ʻa e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 64:9-11, ʻo kumi e ngaahi akonaki ʻa e ʻEikí fekauʻaki mo e fakamolemolé.

2. Tali ‘a e fehuʻi ko ʻení ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó:

• Makatuʻunga ʻi he meʻa kuó ke ako ‘i he ʻaho ní, ʻokú ke pehē ko e hā ʻoku fie maʻu ai ʻe he ʻEikí ke tau fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e kakai kotoa pē?

ʻE lava ke tokonia kitautolu ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ke tau fakamolemoleʻi e niʻihi kehé

ʻOku faingataʻa he taimi ʻe niʻihi ke fakamolemoleʻi ‘a e niʻihi kehé. Ka ʻi he tokoni ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, ʻoku malava ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē.

ʻI hoʻo lau ʻa e fakaʻosinga ʻo e talanoa ʻa Pīsope Mekimalini fekauʻaki mo e fehangahangai ʻa Koli mo ʻene tangata leʻo ʻi he falepōpulá, kumi ki he founga naʻe foaki ange ai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻa e mālohi ke ne lava ‘o fakamolemoleʻí.

Mahalo te ke fie mamata ʻi he foʻi vitiō “Ko e Hala ‘o hotau Fatongiá,” ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ChurchofJesusChrist.org, mei he taimi 2:16 ki he 3:26.
