Ne fuakava ʻa Sīsū ke fakahoko ʻa e palani ʻa e Tamaí ʻaki ʻene fai ha fakalelei maʻá e ngaahi angahala ʻa māmaní.

ʻI he Fakataha ʻi he langí, ne fakakaukauʻi lelei ai ʻa e palani ko ia naʻe tonu ke ngāueʻaki fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa ia ne kei laumālie pē he taimi ko iá, ʻo teʻeki ke nau maʻu ha sinó. Ka, ʻi heʻetau vakai ki hono fakatupu ʻo e māmaní pea mo hono tuku ki ai ʻa e tangatá, ke ne lava ʻo maʻu ʻa e sinó, peá ne lava ai ʻi he sino ko iá ʻo talangofua ki he ngaahi fono ʻo e moʻuí, pea lava ai ʻi he ngaahi fono ko iá ʻo hakeakiʻi ki he ngaahi ʻOtuá, ʻoku tala mai, “naʻe hiva fakataha” ʻi he taimi ko iá “ ʻa e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻo e pongipongí, pea kalanga fakataha ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he fiefia” [Siope 38:7]. ʻOku tupu mai leva ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻení, ʻe founga fēfē, pea ʻi he tefitoʻi moʻoni fē, ʻe lava ke fakahoko ai ʻa e fakamoʻui, hakeakiʻi pea mo e nāunau taʻengata ʻo e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtuá?

ʻOku mahino ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e Fakataha lahi ko iá, ne ʻi ai ha ngaahi palani ne fokotuʻu mo aleaʻi, pea hili hano aleaʻi kakato ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ko iá, pea mo hono fakahā ʻa e finangalo ʻo e Tamaí fekauʻaki mo ʻEne palaní, ne haʻu ʻa Lusifā ki he ʻao ʻo e Tamaí, mo haʻane palani ʻaʻana, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko au ʻeni, ke ke fekauʻi au, te u hoko ko ho ʻAlo, pea te u huhuʻi ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo e tangatá ke ʻoua naʻa mole ha foʻi laumālie ʻe toko taha, pea kuo pau ke u fai ia; ko ia, ke ke ʻomai kiate au ʻa ho lāngilangí” [Vakai, Mōsese 4:1]. Ka, ʻi he fanongo ʻa Sīsū ki he lea ko ʻeni ne fai ʻe Lusifaá, ne folofola ange leva, “Tamai, ke fai pē ʻa ho finangaló, pea ke ʻoʻou ʻa e lāngilangí ʻo taʻengata” [Mōsese 4:2].

Mei he folofola ko ʻeni ne fai ʻe he ʻAlo ʻofeiná, ʻoku totonu ke fakanatula pē ʻetau fakakau ia ʻi hono aleaʻi ʻo e kaveinga ngāue ne fakahā ʻe he Tamaí ʻi Hono finangaló mo e faʻufaʻu ʻo ʻEne palaní pea mo ʻEne faʻufaʻu fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻá ni, pea ko e meʻa pē ne loto Hono ʻAlo ʻofaʻangá ke faí ko hono fakahoko e finangalo ʻo ʻEne Tamaí, ʻo taau mo ia pea mo hono fakamatala ki muʻá.

Ko e tuʻunga ʻeni ne loto ʻa Sētane ke ʻaí, ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he ngaahi laumālie ʻi langí, kae kau ai mo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi māmani. Pea tala ange ai ʻe Sētane, “Kuo pau ke u fakamoʻui ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē, ko ia, ke ke ʻomai kiate au ʻa ho lāngilangí.”³

Naʻe ʻikai tali e palani ʻa Sētané … he naʻe fehangahangai ia mo e faleʻi ʻa e ʻOtua ko ʻene Tamaí. Naʻe toki folofola leva ʻa e ʻAlo ʻOfeiná ki he Tamaí, ʻo ʻikai ke Ne fokotuʻu ke fakahoko ha palani ʻAʻana, he naʻá Ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e finangalo ʻo ʻEne Tamaí, ʻo Ne pehē ange, “Fai pē ho finangaló; te u fakahoko Hoʻo palaní mo Hoʻo ngaahi faʻufaʻú, pea koeʻuhí ʻe hinga ʻa e tangatá, te u foaki au ko ha fakalelei ʻo fakatatau mo ho finangaló, ʻe ʻOtuá. ʻOku ʻikai ke u kumia ʻa e lāngilangí, ka ke ʻoʻou pē ʻa e nāunaú;” [vakai, Mōsese 4:2] pea ne fakahoko ai heni ha fefuakavaʻaki ʻiate Ia mo ʻEne Tamaí, ʻa ia ne fiemālie ai ke Ne fai e fakalelei maʻá e ngaahi angahala ʻa e māmaní, pea tuʻunga ai, ʻo hangē ko hono fakamatalaʻí, ʻa ʻene hoko ko e Lami ne fakapoongi talu mei hono ʻai ʻo e tuʻunga ʻo māmaní [vakai, Mōsese 7:47].⁴

ʻOku tau fie maʻu ʻa e Fakaleleí koeʻuhí ke tau lava ʻo ikunaʻi ʻa e ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo e Hingá.

Koeʻuhí ko hono maʻu ʻe he tangatá ʻa ʻene tauʻatāiná pea moʻulaloa ai ki he mālohi ʻo e ʻahiʻahí, ki he vaivai ʻo e kakanó, ki he ngaahi fakatauele ʻa e māmaní, pea mo e ngaahi mālohi ʻo e fakapoʻulí, ne ʻiloʻi ai pē kuo pau ke hinga, pea ʻi heʻene hingá, ʻe mātuʻaki faingataʻa ke Ne huhuʻi pē ʻe Ia ʻa Ia, pea fakatatau mo e fono taʻe ngata ʻo e fakamaau totonú, ʻe fie maʻu ha fakalelei ko ha totongi huhuʻi ke ne huhuʻi ʻa e tangatá, ke fakahaofi ia mei he ngaahi nunuʻa mo e maumau ʻo e Hingá, ke fokotuʻu ai ia ki ha tuʻunga ʻe lava ke toe fakafoki ai ke hōifua ki ai ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi fono taʻengata ʻo e fakamaau totonú mo e ʻaloʻofá; mo ne ʻilo ai hono hala ke foki ai ki he ʻao ʻo e Tamaí. …

Pea ko ia, ne folofola tonu ai ʻa Sīsū, “Kuo pehē ʻa e tohí, pea ʻoku taau mo Kalaisi ke mamahi pehē, pea toetuʻu mei he maté ʻi hono ʻaho tolú: pea ke malangaʻaki ʻa e fakatomalá mo e fakamolemole ʻo e angahalá ʻi hono hingoá ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo fuofua fai ʻi Selusalema” [Luke 24:46–47].⁵

ʻI he fakapotopoto ʻo e ʻOtuá pea mo e palani ne fokotuʻu ʻe he Fungani Māfimafí, ne fakaʻatā ai ke tuku ʻa e tangatá ki ha fono mahinongofua ʻiate ia pē, ka ko hono siviʻi ʻo e fonó ni ne ʻalu fakataha ia mo e ngaahi nunuʻa fakamamahi tahá. ʻE tupu mei hano tauhi ʻo e fono ko iá hano maʻu ʻo e moʻui taʻengatá, pea ko hono tautea ʻo hono maumauʻi ʻo e fono ko iá ko e mate. … Kapau naʻe ʻikai maumauʻi ʻa e fonó [tuʻunga ʻi he Hingá], ne mei kei moʻui pē ʻa e tangatá; ka ne mei lava nai ʻe he moʻui pē ʻa e tangatá ke fakatolonga ai hono hakó, pea mo fakahoko ai e ngaahi faʻufaʻu ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hono teuteu ʻo ha ngaahi sino moʻó e ngaahi laumālie ne fakatupu ʻi he maama ʻo e ngaahi laumālié? ʻIkai ngata aí, ne nau mei fie maʻu nai ha fakalaloa, ke ne hoko ko ha fetongi [pe feilaulau fakalelei] ki hono maumauʻi ʻo e fonó ni, ʻa ia ne ʻosi hā mahino mei hono ngaahi tūkungá ne pau pē ke maumauʻí; pe ne mei hokohoko atu nai ʻa e fakalakalaka taʻengata mo e fakatolonga ʻo e tangatá, fakataha mo hono hakeakiʻi māʻolunga ki he tuʻunga faka-ʻOtuá ʻo aʻusia, taʻe kau ai ʻa e fakalelei huhuʻi mo e feilaulau ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá? ⁶

Ka ne taʻe ʻoua e fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa e feilaulau naʻá Ne faí, ne mei tākoto pē e faʻahinga kotoa ʻo e tangatá ʻi faʻitoka ʻi he toenga kotoa ʻo taimí ʻo ʻikai ha toe ʻamanaki lelei. Ka ʻi hono foaki mai ʻe he ʻOtuá, ʻo fakafou ʻi he fakalelei ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa e founga ʻe lava ʻo toe fakafoki kitautolu ki he fatafata mo e ʻao ʻo e Tamaí, ke kau fakataha mo e ngaahi ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi maama taʻengatá—ʻi Heʻene foaki mai Iá, kuó ne toe foaki ai mo e toetuʻú. Naʻá Ne fakahā ko ia ʻa e toetuʻú pea mo e moʻuí. Naʻá Ne folofola, “Ko Au ko e toetuʻu, mo e moʻui: ko ia ʻoku tui kiate Aú, ka ne mate, ʻe moʻui pē ia” (Sione 11:25). ʻE faifai pea fakaava ʻa tanuʻanga pea fanongo ʻa e kau pekiá ki he leʻo ʻo e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea te nau haʻu, ʻa kinautolu naʻe fai leleí ki he toetuʻu ʻa e kau anga-tonú, pea ko kinautolu naʻe fai koví ki he toetuʻu ʻa e kau angahalá.⁷

Koeʻuhí ke fakahoko ʻa e Fakaleleí, ne toʻo ai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi kiate Ia ʻa ʻetau ngaahi angahalá ʻo Ne pekia ʻi he kakanó.

ʻOku tala mai “ka ne ʻikai lilingi Hono taʻataʻá he ʻikai ha fakamolemolea” ʻo e angahalá [Hepelū 9:22]. ʻOku ʻikai maaʻusia ʻeni ia ʻe heʻetau fakakaukaú. Naʻe pau ke toʻo atu ʻe Sīsū ʻa e anga-halá ʻaki hano feilaulauʻi Ia, ko e anga-tonu maʻá e taʻe angatonú. … Pea ʻi heʻene fuesia tonu toko taha pē ʻa e ngaahi angahalá kotoa, ʻo ne fai e fakalelei ki ai ʻaki hono feilaulauʻi Iá, ne hilifaki ai kiate Ia ʻa e mafatukituki mo e mamahi ʻo e ngaahi kuonga mo e toʻu tangata kotoa pē, ko ha mamahi taʻe malava ke fakamatalaʻi ne hoko ʻi he feilaulau fakaleleí ni ʻa ia naʻá ne fuesia ai ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa e māmaní, ʻo Ne fuesia kiate Ia tokotaha pē ʻa e ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo ha fono taʻengata ʻa e ʻOtuá ne maumauʻi ʻe he tangatá.
