Talateu ki he Kosipeli ʻa Maʻaké mo e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Sione Papitaisó

Naʻe kamata ʻe Maʻake ʻene Kosipelí ʻaki e fakamatala kia Sione Papitaisó. Naʻe ʻikai ko ha ʻAposetolo ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa Maʻake ʻo hangē ko Mātiu pe ko Sioné, ka ko ha papi ului ia kimui ange. Mahalo naʻe hiki ʻe Maʻake ʻene Kosipelí ʻi he malumalu ʻo e fakahinohino ʻa e ʻAposetolo ko Pitá. Naʻe tohi ʻe Maʻake ʻi heʻene Kosipelí ki ha haʻofanga senitaile peá ne fakamamafaʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻo lahi ange ʻi he meʻa naʻá Ne folofola ʻakí.

ʻE lava ke tokoni ʻa e laukonga fekauʻaki mo e meʻa tatau naʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi fakamatala kehekehe ʻo e Kosipelí ki hoʻo akó. Lau ʻa e Mātiu 3:7–12, ʻo kumi ki ha toe ngaahi fakaikiiki fekauʻaki mo e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Sione Papitaisó. ʻI he kuonga ʻo e Fakamoʻuí, naʻe fakaʻau ke hīkisia ʻaupito ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e kau ʻIsileli ʻo e fuakavá pea nau tafoki mei he ngaahi akonaki ʻa Sihová. Naʻe tui ha niʻihi naʻe feʻunga pē ‘a ‘ete hoko ko e hako ʻo ʻĒpalahamé ke fakahaofi ai kinautolu (vakai, Liliu ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá, Mātiu 3:36 [ʻi he Bible appendix] mo e Liliu ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá, Luke 3:8 [ʻi he Luke 3:8, futinouti d).

Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe Sione Papitaiso ke tokoni ki hono teuteuʻi ʻo e kakaí ke nau tali mo muimui ki he Fakamoʻuí?

ʻEkitivitī A: Faʻu Tohinoa

Fakakaukau pea lekooti ʻi hoʻo tohinoa akó ha ngaahi aʻusia kuo nau tokoniʻi koe ke ke tali mo muimui ki he Fakamoʻuí. Fakakaukau ke fakakau ʻa e meʻa kuó ne tokoniʻi koe ke ke tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí pea tukupā lahi ange ke moʻui ʻaki ʻEne ngaahi akonakí. Hili ia pea tali leva e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení:

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻe ala fakaafeʻi koe ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ke ke fakahokó ke ke tali mo muimui lahi ange ai kia Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi he kahaʻú?
Ko e hā ha ngaahi meʻa te ke lava ʻo fai ke tokoniʻi ai e niʻihi kehé ke nau tali mo muimui kia Sīsū Kalaisi?

Te ke fakaʻaongaʻi fēfē nai ha taha ʻo ʻenau ngaahi akonakí ʻi hoʻo moʻuí pe vahevahe ia mo e niʻihi kehé?

ʻEkitivitī F: Fakatotolo ʻi he Folofolá

Fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e folofolá ke mahino lelei ange ʻa e founga naʻe tataki ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau tali mo muimui ʻia Sīsū Kalaisí. Hangē ko ʻení,ʻe lava ke ke ako ʻa e ngaahi sīpinga ako ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná hangē ko e ʻĪnosi 1:2–8 ; Mōsaia 5:1–2, 5 ; ʻAlamā 22:17–18, 22–23 ; pe Hilamani 5:28–30, 40–42 .

Ko hai ʻa Maʻake?

Naʻe ʻikai kau ʻa Maʻake (naʻe ui foki ko Sione Maʻake) ʻi he kau fuofua ākonga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ka naʻá ne ului kimui ange mo ngāue vāofi mo e tokolahi ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻa e Fakamoʻuí. ʻOku lave ʻa Pita ki ai ko “Maʻake ko hoku foha” ( 1 Pita 5:13), ‘o mahino mai ai hona vā fetuʻutaki vāofí. ʻOku ngalingali naʻe hiki ʻe Maʻake ʻene Kosipeli nounoú ki he kakai Lomá, ngaahi puleʻanga senitaile kehé, mo e kau ului foʻou ki he tui faka-Kalisitiané. Naʻe ngāue foki ʻa Maʻake mo Paula ʻi ha vahaʻataimi ʻi he fuofua fononga fakafaifekau ʻa Paulá (vakai, Ngāue 12:25).

Ko e hā ha ngaahi meʻa ʻoku makehe ai ʻa e tohi ʻa Maʻaké?

ʻOku kamata fakafokifā mo mālie ʻa e Kosipeli ʻa Maʻaké pea hokohoko toʻotoʻo konga lalahi ai pē ʻi hono fakamatalaʻi vave e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hokó. Naʻe toutou ngāue ʻaki ʻe Maʻake ʻa e lea ko e leva (straightway)mo e taimi pē ko iá (immediately), ‘o fakavaveʻi ʻaki hono fakamatalaʻí.ʻOku kau ʻi he ngaahi kaveinga mahuʻinga ʻi he tohi ʻa Maʻaké ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi pe ko hai ʻa Sīsū pea ko hai ʻoku mahino ki ai Hono tupuʻangá, kae pehē foki ki he fatongia ʻo e ākongá ko ha tokotaha kuo pau ke ne “toʻo ʻene kavengá ʻo muimui [kia Sīsū]” ( Maʻake 8:34). ʻIkai ko ia pē, ka ko e Kosipeli pē ʻa Maʻaké ʻoku hā ai ʻa e talanoa fakatātā ʻo e tenga ʻoku tupu ʻiate ia peé (vakai, Maʻake 4:26–27), ko hono fakamoʻui ʻo ha tokotaha naʻe [telinga] tuli ʻi he potu fonua Tikapolisí (vakai, Maʻake 7:31–37), pea mo e fakaʻā ʻo ha tangata kui ʻi Petesaitá (vakai, Maʻake 8:22–26).

Māʻake 1:8 . Ko e hā ʻa e papitaiso ʻaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní?

Naʻe fakahā ʻe Sione Papitaiso te ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻa e vai ka ko Sīsū te ne “papitaiso … ʻaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní” ( Maʻake 1:8). ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e papitaiso ko ʻeni ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní mo e afí ki he ola ʻo e hilifakinima hili ʻa e papitaisó, pea maʻu ʻa e takaua ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. ʻOku fakamaʻa mo fakahaohaoaʻi leva kitautolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻo hangē ko e mālohi fakamaʻa mo fakahaohaoaʻi ʻo e afí.

Mātiu 3:7 . Ko hai ʻa e kau Fālesí mo e kau Sātusí?

Ko e kau Fālesí ko ha kau mēmipa kinautolu ʻo ha kulupu fakalotu ʻo e kau Siú naʻa nau pōlepole ʻi hono tauhi pau ʻa e fono ʻa Mōsesé. Naʻa nau faʻa holoki ʻa e tui fakalotú ke fakatefito ʻi hono tauhi ʻa e ngaahi tōʻonga ʻulungaanga kehekehe.

Ko e “ī” ʻoku ʻuhinga ki ai ʻi he Mātiu 3:12 ko ha ī sivi mo tapili naʻe faʻa ngāue ʻaki ke puhiʻi e uité ki he ʻeá. … ʻE ngangana ʻa e uité ki he kelekelé kae puhiʻi ʻa e kafukafú naʻe maʻamaʻa angé ke mamaʻo.
