Koe vete ‘oe potu tohi
Koe fakakaukau ‘oe pekia moe toetu’u
‘I he fakakaukau ‘oe pekia moe toetu’u na’e kei fakamahino ai pe ‘e Sisu hono anga fakatokilalo mo faka’aki’aki mui (Humility). Na’e ‘ikai ke ne toetu’u pe pea ne uki ha fu’u laka ma’ana ki he loto kolo ‘o Selusalema ke fakamo’oni fakahaahaa atu ki he fu’u kau taula’eiki, kau fakamaau, fu’u kakai Siu ‘ae mo’oni ‘o ‘ene toetu’u na’a ne sinaki tala. Ka kia Sione koe mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u kia Sisu koe’uhii pe ke tau “tui” koe ‘Alo mo’oni ‘eni ‘oe ‘Otua. Ko e ha e me’a ‘oku hoko he Hili e Mate? Ko hono fakamatala Fakamatelie koe ngata’anga ‘o e Mo’ui? ‘Oku ‘i ai ‘ae lau ki ai ‘a Paula ‘ia Kolinito “Tau kai mo Inu e he ‘oku ‘apongipongi ‘etau Mate” (1 Kol15:32). Koe lau ‘ae tohi Koheleti koe tukufolau ‘eni ki he ta’e’iloa “Ko hai ‘oku ne ‘ilo: Pe ‘oku ‘alu ki fe he Hili e Mate…Ki ‘Olunga pe Ki Lalo? Ka ‘oku ai ‘a e Fakamaau ‘a e ‘Otua.” Ka koe ha ‘ae lau ‘ae kau tui ‘Otua ko kitautolu he ‘aho ni? Koe mate koe hu’u ‘ae fononga pea tuku folau ke nonofo mo Kalaisi ‘i he mo’ui ta’engata (Filipai). Ka koeha ‘ae lau ‘a Sisu ki he kakai ‘oku ‘ikai ke nau tui ki he talafungani ‘oe toetu’u “Pea pehee ‘e Sisu, ‘e fefine, koehaa ‘oku ke tangi ai? Pea kohai ‘oku ke kumi ki ai”.
Ko e kau muimui ta’e tui ki he mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u
Na’e uhu hengihengi atu ‘a Mele mei Makitala ki he fonua loto pea ko hono taimi ‘oku kei fakapo’uli. Pea ‘oku ‘ikai mahino pe koe taimi ia na’e uhu ai ‘a Mele na’e kei po’ulii pe ko ia pe na’e kei fakapo’uli ‘ene tui he’ene fononga atu ki he maama ‘oe toetu’u. Na’a ne “Vakai tā kuo to’o ‘a e maka mei he fonualoto” (v.1). Koe fa’ahinga fakamatala ‘eni ‘oku fakalele loto pea taka ta’e tui ‘Otua. Na’e ‘ikai mahino kia Mele Makitala pea ’ikai mahino foki ki he ongo ako pea mo Pita. Na’a nau fifili ki hono to’o ‘oe maka he ‘oku fakamatala ‘a Mele mei Makitala “Kuo nau ‘ave ‘a e ‘Eiki mei he fonualoto, pea ‘oku ‘ikai te mau ‘ilo pe kuo nau tuku ia ki fē” (v 2). Te’eki ha fakakaukau ki he toetu’u ‘a e Mate: Na’e a’u atu mo Pita mo e akonga ‘e taha: Sio ki ai ‘o tui (v.8) ka koe tui pe ki he lau ‘a Mele kuo pulia hono sino mei fa’itoka kae ‘ikai koe toetu’u “Kuo nau ‘ave ‘a e ‘Eiki…..” Na’e mahino nai ki he kauako ‘ae folofola ‘a Sisu “Kuo pau ke ne toetu’u mei he pekia” (v.9). ‘E ala ‘uhinga ‘eni na’a nau nofo pe ‘i ‘api moli kae fuu hala? Na’e ‘ikai ‘aongaa koaa e fu’u muimui na’e fai? Kainga ko hono faingata’a’anga ‘eni ‘a ‘etau ta’e mahino’i ‘ae Folofola he te ne ‘omi kiate kitautolu ‘ae fa’ahinga fifili ni. Ka ta’e’ilo e folofola: ‘Ikai ha ‘amanaki ki he toetu’u ‘o e pekia- Ka ta’e’ilo e folofola: ‘Ikai ha ‘amanaki ki Tu’afa’itoka – Siasi: Tokanga ke lau e folofola ‘a e ‘Otua. Kau Faifekau tau tokanga ki hono ako’i pea mo fakahinohino’i ‘ae Folofola ke falala’anga ‘ae tefito’i ma’u’anga tala ‘oe kakai lotu koe hulu e Hala ki Tu’a fa’itoka. Pea ‘oku hanga ‘e Mele ‘o fakafofonga’i kitautolu ‘oku ‘ikai ‘uhinga malie ‘ae ngaahi folofola ‘ae ‘Otua he ‘oku ne fakamatala mai ‘ae ‘ikai ha ‘amanaki ‘ae mo’ui ki tu’a fa’itoka ‘a ia koe toetu’u ki he mo’ui ta’engata.
Koe mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u koe fakatafoki mei fa’itoka ki tu’a fa’itoka
Koe fakakaukau ‘oe toetu’u kia Sione koe “fakatafoki ‘etau mo’ui mei fa’itoka” kae “hanga kakato ki he tu’a fa’itoka.” Lolotonga e Tangi ‘a Mele “Tafoki kimui ‘o ne vakai kia Sisu ‘oku tu’umai, ka na’e ‘ikai te ne ‘ilo ko Sisu ia” (v.14). Kainga kia Sione ko ‘ene toki fakatafoki ‘eni ‘a Mele mei he hulu ‘ae hala ki fa’itoka kae hanga mai aa kia “Tu’a fa’itoka ‘io ko Sisu Toetu’u ia.” Kia Mele ko ‘ene tangi ko ‘ene kei sio ki fa’itoka… Pea “tafoki ia ki mui ‘oe vakai kia Sisu ‘oku tu’u mai….” Kainga koe naunau ‘eni moe ‘ulungaanga ‘oe ta’e tui ki he folofola pea moe mole ‘ae ‘amanaki. Pea pehee ‘e Mele “ ‘Eiki, kapau ko koe kuo ke ‘ave ia, talamai ‘a e potu kuo ke tuku ia ki ai, pea te u ‘ave ia ‘e au” (v.15). Pea leaange ‘a Sisu Toetu’u “Mele!” Pea tafokiange ‘ae fefine…” (v 16). “Mele/ kainga lotu/ famili….’ofaa aa mu’a ‘o tafoki mai aa?…Ta’u ‘eni ‘e fiha ‘etau fai e lotu moe malanga’i e pekia moe kei sio fa’itoka pe ‘etau ngaahi to’onga mo’ui? Kia Sisu moe halanga fo’ou… “Ko ‘eku ‘alu hake ‘eni ki he Tamai: ka ke ‘alu ki si ’oku ngaohi tokoua ‘o lea ki ai ‘o pehee..Ko ‘eku ‘alu ‘eni ki he’eku Tamai, pea ki hoku ‘Otua ka ko homou ‘Otua” (v 17). ‘
Koe fuofua talafungani ki he mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u
Koe fuofua talafungani ia ‘oe Toetu’u na’e talaange ‘e he ongo ‘Angelo kia Mele “..’e fefine koeha ‘oku ke tangi ai?” ‘Oku fakalea ‘e Matiu 28: 6 “’Oua ‘e manavahe!...’Oku ‘ikai te ne ‘i heni he kuo toetu’u….” Koe tangi koe ‘ulungaanga maheni pe ia ‘oe kau fefine ‘oku nau ‘a’ahi ki he ngaahi fa’itoka ki honau ngaahi ‘ofa’anga. Ka ‘oku fakatupu fifili ko hono toe ‘eke’i ‘e he ongo Angelo pea mo Sisu foki ‘a ‘ene tangi. Pea ‘ikai ia ko ia pe ka koe fa’itoka ‘eni ia ‘oku tangi ai kuo fakaava ia? Kainga ‘oku kei ‘eke ni mai pe ‘e Sisu ‘ae fehu’i ni, kainga/ siasi/ famili koehaa ‘oku mou tangi ai? Kuo te’eki koaa ke mou tui ki he mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u pea moe hoko ‘a Kalaisi koe polopolo ia ‘oe kau pekia ‘i he ‘Eiki? Koe fakakaukau nai ‘eni ‘oe fai kui pe ‘ae tui moe lotu? Ki he ongo angelo pea kia Sisu foki kapau na’a nau fanongo pea tui kiate ia na’e ‘ikai fai ha toe tangi fakahela holo ‘i he ngaahi fa’itoka. Koe fehu’i ‘oe tangi ‘ae fefine ‘oku ne ‘omi ha fekau lahi mo kafakafa mo’oni. ‘Oku fehu’ia ai ‘ae anga ‘etau fai ‘oe lotu pe na’a ‘oku tau malanga’i pe ‘oe mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u’aki ha loto ‘oku tala’a mo puputu’u foki? Pea ‘oku ha mei he tali ‘a Mele ‘ae manavahe ke tui ki he mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u “Kuo nau ‘ave si’oku ‘Eiki, pea ‘oku ‘ikai te u ‘ilo pe ‘oku nau tuku ia ki fee? (v 13).
Kainga mahalo pe koe fa’ahinga kui ‘eni ‘oe mata ‘o Mele na’e tatau moe kui ‘oe mata ‘oe ongo ako na’e fononga he hala ki ‘Emeasi (Luke 24:15-16). Kainga na’a ne ‘i ai ke kumi ki he sino mate ‘o hono ‘Eiki kae fakafeta’i na’a ne fetaulaki ‘o fehangahangai mata ai mo hono ‘Eiki mo’ui. Pea pehee ‘e Sisu “Mele!” pea ‘aa ai hono mata ‘o sio kia Sisu pea ne pehee “Laponai!” Talu ai moe hoko ‘ae Angahala (Mele) koe fuofua toko taha ke ne fakamo’oni atu ‘ae mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u ki ha kakai kehe (kau ako) “Kuo u mamata ki he ‘Eiki…” Koe fa’ahinga mo’oni ia na’e ‘oku talaloto’aki he punake he himi 473 “La’a ‘o hoku laumalie neongo he po’uli ee, ha koe Sisu hoku loto, kuo ‘aho ai ‘ae tu’uapo.” Fakatatau kihe hiki tohi ‘a Sione kuo fuofua toko taha ke haa ki ai ‘ae mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u ko ha fefine na’a ne tuli mei ai ha fanga tevolo ‘e toko 7 (Ma’ake 12:9) pea na’a ne fakamolemole’i foki mo ‘ene angahala, pea ko hono hingoa ko Mele Makitaline. Ko Mele ‘eni na’e tangi mamahi he ve’e kolosi pea ne si’i muimui ai pe ki fa’itoka he telio ‘oe sino. Kia Sione na’e fuofua ha pe ia ki he angahala ke fakamo’oni mo fakakakato ‘ae kaveinga na’a ne hoko mai ai “koe angahala ke mo’ui.”
Koe fakamo’oni ‘a Pita ki he Toetu’u
(Ngaue 10:34-43)
Koe fakakaukau ‘oe Tohi Ngaue 10: 34-43) ko hono ofongi ‘e he Senitulio ko ia ko Koliniusi ‘a Pita ‘ae fakakaukau ‘oku lea ki ai ‘ae Same 118:1”Fakafeta’i kia Sihova he ‘oku tolonga ‘o ta’engata ‘ene ‘alo’ofa.” He na’e ‘amanaki ‘a Pita na’e fakangatangata pe ‘ae Pekia moe Toetu’u ‘a Sisu ma’ae kakai Siu pe mo kinautolu na’e muimui ai. Na’e ‘ikai ha’ane ‘amanaki ‘e faifaiange ha ‘aho mo ha taimi ‘e a’usia ai ‘e he Senitaile moe Angahala ‘ae momona ‘oe lotu ko ‘enau fakamo’oni ki he toetu’u. Pea toki pehee ‘e Pita “…ta ko ‘ene toki mahino mai kiate au ‘oku ‘ikai filifili manako ‘ae ‘Otua, ka neongo pe koe fe’ia ‘ae kakai, ka ‘ilonga ‘a ia ‘oku ‘apasia kiate ia ‘oku ngofua ke ne a’u mai kiate ia.” Ko hono fakamatala foki ia ‘oe Senitulio ko ‘eni ko Koliniasi “koe tokotaha lotu mo’oni pea ‘apasia ‘Otua…” (v 1). ‘Oku hoko atu moe feinga ‘a Pita ke ne fakamo’oni’i mai ‘ae mo’oni ‘oe toetu’u ‘aki ‘ae ngaahi fakamo’oni fakahaahaa. “Pea ko kimautolu koe kau fakamo’oni ‘oe ngaahi me’a na’e ‘i he fonua ‘oe kakai Siu kae ‘uma’aa ‘a Selusalema ‘a ia foki na’a nau fakapoongi he’enau tautau ia ‘i he kolosi…Koe Toko taha ko ia na’e fokotu’u ‘e he ‘Otua ‘i hono ‘aho tolu ‘o ne tuku ke ne matu’aki haa ‘o ‘ikai ki he kakai kotoa pe ka ki he kau fakamo’oni na’e sinaki fili ‘e he ‘Otua, ‘a ia ko kimautolu, koe tu’unga me’a na’a mau kai mo inu fakataha mo ia hili ‘ene toetu’u mei he pekia” (Ngaue 10:39-41).
Kia Pita ko hono faka’ata lahi’i mai ‘ene ‘oe fo’i ‘imisi ‘oe Pekia moe Toetu’u ‘a Kalaisi kuo fakamo’oni ai moe Senitaile ki he tolonga ‘o ta’engata ‘ae ‘alo’ofa ‘ae ‘Otua. ‘Oku ‘ikai koe Senitaile pe koe Siu ka ko ia pe ‘oku “tui” ki he toetu’u te ne a’usia ‘ae tolonga ‘o ta’engata ‘ae ‘alo’ofa ‘ae ‘Otua (Same 118:1; ’Efeso 6:9; Kolose 3:25; Semisi 2:1,9; 1 Pita 1:17).

Ta koe fakamo’oni ‘oe toetu’u koe me’a ia ‘ae kakai kotoa pe.
