Fonu ‘i he Kelesi pea moe Mo’oni….!
Koe “Kelesi” moe “Mo’oni” koe ongo tefito’i fakakaukau pe ia ‘oku na mafai ke fai ‘ae fakamolemole ‘oe angahala ‘ae tangata. Koe “Kelesi” Koe fakamo’ui ia ‘ae ‘Otua kuo ‘inasi ai ‘a kinautolu na’e ‘ikai totonu ke nau ma’u.

Ko ‘ene kelesi, ‘oku ha lelei ia ‘i he’ene fakangatangata pe ‘ene houhau ki he tolu mo e faa’i to’utangata kae afe’i tao’utangata ‘eme mohu ‘Alo’ofa! Ko ‘ene mo’oni, ‘a e matu’aki pau ke ne tautea ‘ae pa’uu (Ekisoto.34:6-7). ‘Oku ha sino kotoa ‘ae ongo to’onga mo’ui ni ‘ia Sisu Kalaisi he’ene hoko mai. Pea ko e houa ‘o e kolosi, ko e houa ia ‘o e fakae’a ‘e Sisu ‘a e langilangi ko ia, he ko e kolosi he kosipeli ‘a Sione, ko hono fakalangilangi’i ia ‘e Sisu ‘a e Tamai (Sione 17:1). ‘Io, ko e kolosi ‘oku toki fakae’ee’a ai ‘e Sisu ‘a e langilangi ‘o e Tamai, ‘a ‘ene fonu he kelesi mo e mo’oni. He ‘oku mahino mei he kolosi ‘o Kalaisi ‘a e “mohu kelesi” ‘a e ‘Otua, ‘a e ‘ikai fai aipe ‘ene houhau kia kitautolu kau angahala ‘o ta’engata. He ‘oku fakahaa ‘e Sisu, ‘a mo’oni ‘o e ‘ofa ‘a e ‘Otua kiate kitautolu, ko e lolotonga pe ‘etau kei angahala kuo pekia ‘a Sisu.
Na’e ‘ikai ke ne tali ke tau fakatomala, pea ke tau ma’oni’oni mo lotu mo’oni mo malanga mo e haa fua e ngaahi me’a ‘oku tau fakakaukau kuo pau ke tau fai kae toki makatu’ungai ai hano ‘ofa’i kitautolu ‘e he ‘Otua. ‘Oku faka’ikai’i kotoa ia ‘e he kolosi ‘o Kalaisi he ‘oku fakae’a he kolosi ‘a e tolonga ‘o ta’engata ‘a e ‘alo’ofa ‘a Sihova. ‘Oku toe fakahaa pe foki ‘e he kolosi ‘a e mo’oni ‘a Sihova, he ‘oku ‘ikai te ne tuku ta’etautea e halaia. Ko e hoko ‘a Folofola ‘o kakano, koe’uhi ke ne fetongi huhu’i ‘a e tautea ‘o kitautolu angahala. Ke fakahoko ‘iate ia ‘a e tautea ‘o e halaia, mo fakahaahaa ‘a e faitotonu ‘a e ‘Otua. ‘Oi hoto fakapoo, na’a ku kau he tukifa’o, he ko ‘eku ngaahi hia, na’e kalusefai ai ia (Himi 469). ‘Io, ‘ia Sisu, ‘oku tau mamata ai ki he “kelesi” mo e “mo’oni” ‘a e ‘Otua he ‘oku oo fakataha ‘iate ia ‘a e “meesi” mo e “totonu” ‘a e ‘Otua.

Kae talu hono kapusi kinaua ki tu’a Iteni, mo e takatu’a aipe ‘a ha’a tangata mei he ‘Otua ‘o nofo he univeesi ta’e-ma’u-‘otua, mo ta’e-‘ilo-‘otua. Ka ko eni kuo toe ava mai ‘a Palataisi ee, pea ko e ‘afifio kuo li’oa, kuo ‘osi mai ‘a Langi, ke ne faka’inasi ‘a e fa’ahinga na’e pau ki he mate mo e ‘auha he mo’ui ‘o Itaniti, ko e mo’ui ta’engata. ‘Io, ko e ‘uhinga ia hono hiki ‘e Sione pea mo e kau fa’u kosipeli, ‘a e ngaahi kosipeli, “koe’uhi ke tau tui KO SISU KO E MISAIA IA, KO E ‘ALO ‘O E ‘OTUA: pea ‘i ho’omou tui ke mou ma’u mo’ui ‘i hono huafa” (20:30-31). Taa ko e hoko ‘a Folofola ‘o kakano, ke ne faka’inasi ai ‘a e kakano mo toto, ‘a ee na’e pau ki he mate mo e mala’ia ‘i tu’a Iteni, he mo’ui ‘o ‘Iteni, lolotonga pe ‘a ‘ ene kei nofo kakano.
