Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa Siosefa F. Sāmitá

Tuʻunga ʻi he Hinga ʻa ʻĀtamá, kuo hoko mai ai ʻa e mate fakalaumālié ki he māmaní.

ʻOku ou fie lea ʻaki ha meʻa ʻe taha pe ua fekauʻaki mo ha faʻahinga mate kehe ʻe taha, ʻa ia ko ha mate ia ʻoku toe fakamamahi ange ʻi he mate ʻo e sinó. ʻI he taimi ne maʻu ai ʻe ʻĀtama, ko ʻetau ʻuluaki mātuʻá, ʻa e fua ʻo e ʻakau ne tapuí, peá ne maumauʻi e fono ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea moʻulaloa ai kia Sētané, naʻe kapusi fakaʻaufuli ia mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá… . Ko e fuofua maté ʻeni. Neongo ne kei moʻui, ka kuo ʻosi mate—ʻo mate ia ki he ʻOtuá, ʻo mate ʻi he māmá mo e moʻoní, ʻo mate fakalaumālie; ʻo tuli mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá; pea tuʻusi ai ʻene fetuʻutaki mo e Tamaí mo e ʻAló. Naʻe kapusi moʻoni ia ki tuʻa mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo hangē ko hono kapusi ʻo Sētané pea mo e kakai tokolahi ne muimui aí. Ko e mate fakalaumālié ia.³

ʻOku ou fie fakatō ki hoʻomou fakakaukaú— “ ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e mate fakalaumālie ʻa [ʻĀtamá].” Ko e hā hono tuʻunga ʻi he taimi ne tuku ai ia ki he Ngoue ko ʻπtení? Naʻe lava ʻo fetuʻutaki mo e Tamaí. Naʻe ʻi hono ʻaó. Naʻe ʻaʻeva pea mo fakataufolofola kiate ia ko e mata ki he mata, ʻo hangē ko ha tangata ʻoku ʻaʻeva mo talanoa mo ha tahá. Ko e tuʻunga ʻeni naʻe ʻi ai ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ʻi he taimi ne na ʻi he ngoué aí. Ka ʻi he taimi ne na kai ai ʻa e fua ʻo e ʻakau naʻe taʻofí naʻe kapusi leva kinaua ki tuʻa mo taʻofi fakaʻaufuli mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá, … “ ʻO ne hoko ai ʻo mate fakalaumālie, ʻa ia ko e ʻuluaki maté ia.” [Vakai, T&F 29:41.] Ne faingataʻa ai kia ʻĀtama ʻi hono tuʻunga ko iá ke ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi ia mei he tuʻunga kuó ne fokotuʻu ia ki aí. Naʻe ʻi he ʻaofinima ia ʻo Sētané…. Naʻe “mate fakalaumālie”—pea kapusi mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá. Pea kapau naʻe ʻikai ke foaki ange ha founga ke toe hao ai, ne mei hoko ʻene maté, ko ha meʻa taʻe fakangatangata, lauikuonga, pea mo taʻengata, ʻo ʻikai ha toe ʻamanaki lelei ki hano huhuʻi mei ai.⁴

He ʻikai ke lava ʻo fakahaofi ha taha angahala ia ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.

He ʻikai ke lava ʻo fakafeʻao atu ha taha mo ʻene angahalá ki he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea he ʻikai ke lava ʻo maʻu ʻe ha tangata ha fakamolemole ki heʻene angahalá, tuku kehe kapau ʻe toki fakatomala ʻo [tanu hifo] fakataha mo Kalaisi [vakai, Loma 6:4].

He ʻikai lava ʻo fakahaofi ha tangata mo ʻene angahalá ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. Pea he ʻikai ke teitei fakamolemoleʻi ha tangata mo ʻene angahalá ʻe he Fakamaau totonú, tuku kehe pē kapau ʻe toki fakatomala mei heʻene ngaahi angahalá.

Kuo ʻosi foaki ʻe he ʻOtuá ki he tangata kotoa ʻa e tauʻatāina ke filí mo ne foaki mai ha faingamālie ke tau ngāue ai maʻana pe ʻikai, ke fakahoko ʻa ia ʻoku totonú pe ko ia ʻoku halá, pea ʻoku foaki ʻa e faingamālié ni ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e hā hono faʻahingá, lanu hono kilí, pe ko hono tuʻungá. ʻOku maʻu ʻe he koloaʻiá ʻa e tauʻatāina ko ʻení, ʻoku maʻu ʻe he masivá mo e tauʻatāina ko ʻení, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha tangata ia ʻe taʻofi ʻe ha faʻahinga mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá mei haʻane fakaʻaongaʻi kakato mo tauʻatāina ʻeni.

Ka kuo pau ke ne fie maʻu meia kitautolu ha fakamatala pau ki he anga ʻo ʻetau fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e tauʻatāina ko ʻeni ke filí, pea hangē ko ia ne fakahā kia Keiní, ʻe toe fai pē ia kia kitautolu; “Kapau te ke fai lelei, ʻikai ʻe maʻu koe? pea ka ʻikai te ke fai lelei, ʻoku ʻi he matapaá ʻa e angahalá” (Sēnesi 4:7)…. Neongo kuo ʻosi foaki ʻe he ʻOtuá ki he tangata kotoa ʻa e tauʻatāina ko ʻeni ke fili ki he leleí pe koví, ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e hā hono tuʻungá, ka kuo teʻeki ai pea he ʻikai te ne foaki ki he fānau ʻa e tangatá ha fakamolemole ʻo ʻenau ngaahi angahalá kae ʻoua kuo nau talangofua ki he ngaahi fonó. Ko ia ai, ʻoku toka ʻa e māmaní kotoa ʻi he angahala pea kuo fakamalaʻiaʻi, he naʻe hoko mai ki he māmaní ʻa e māmá ka naʻe ʻikai fokotuʻu ʻe he tangatá ia ki he tuʻunga totonu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí.⁷

ʻOku huhuʻi kitautolu ʻe he Fakalelei ʻa Kalaisí mei he mate fakalaumālié ʻo fou ʻi he fakatomalá mo e talangofuá.

Ko e palani ʻeni ʻo e huhuʻí ne fili mo fokotuʻu ʻe he Māfimafí ki muʻa pea toki tuku ʻa e tangatá ki he māmaní. Ka ʻi he taimi ne hinga ai ʻa e tangatá tuʻunga ʻi hono maumauʻi ʻo e fono ne tuku ki aí, ne foaki ange leva ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e fono ʻo e feilaulaú, pea mo fakamahino kiate ia, ko hono taumuʻá ke fakamanatu kiate ia ʻo e meʻa maʻongoʻonga ko ia ne ʻamanaki hoko ʻi he vaeuaʻanga mālie ʻo taimí, ʻa ia ʻe ʻomi ai ia mo hono ngaahi hakó ʻe he mālohi ʻo e huhuʻí mo e toetuʻu mei he maté, pea maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá mo e ʻOtuá ʻi hono puleʻangá.⁸
