Ko e v. 7-14, ko hono fekau atu ‘e Sisu ‘ae toko hongofulu ma ua…’Oku lau ‘ae veesi 14-29 ki hono fakapoongi ko ia ‘o Sione Papitaiso pea koe veesi 30-34 koe langa fatu ‘a Sisu he ‘ofa ki he kakai kuo nau tulimui holo ai ko ‘enau fie sio mo fiema’u ia pea hoko atu ai pe ki he’ene fafanga ‘a e toko nima afe ne nau tuliimui kiate Ia. ‘Oku lau leva ‘a e v. 45-51 ki he hā’ele ‘a Sisu ‘i he fukahi tahi, ko e hili ia e fai ‘ene lotu he mo’unga. Toki faka’osi ‘aki ‘i he v. 53-56, ‘a ia kuo Kenesaleti ‘a Sisu pea ne fakamo’ui ai ha kakai ne ala pe ki he pao ‘o hono kofu.

 

 

Ka ‘i he malanga ni ‘oku talanoa mai ‘a Ma’ake koe toki foki mai ‘eni ‘ae kauako talu hono fekau kinautolu ke nau oo ‘o tautau tokoua ki he ngaahi kolo ke fai ‘ae ngaue faka’evangelioo hangee ko ia ‘oku ha he konga ki mu’a ‘oe vahe ni (vv 7-13). Ko ‘enau foki mai ‘eni moe ngaahi ongoongo fakafiefia ki he ngaahi me’a ne nau lava ke fakahoko he’enau ngaue na’e tuku ke nau fai. ‘Oku ha heni ‘ae mahu’inga’ia ‘a Sisu ki he’enau mo’ui hili ‘enau fakahaaange ‘ae ngaue na’a nau fai ‘i he’ene fekau ke nau oo fakaekinautolu pe ki ha potu lala ke malolo ai. ‘Oku mahino foki mei he talanoa lolotonga hono fiema’u vivili kinautolu ‘e he kakai kuo fiema’u ‘e he ‘Apositolo ha ki’i malolo he kuo te’eki ke nau ma’u ha me’a tokoni. Ka ‘i he’enau fakaofi atu ki ‘uta uoke! Koe fu’u kakai ‘ena ‘oku nau talitali mai ke fakafetaulaki kia Sisu.

 

 

‘Oku fekuki ‘ae ongo fiema’u vivili ‘e ua: 1. Koe fiema’u ‘ae kau ‘Apositolo mo Sisu ki ha’anau ki’i malolo mo fakaekinautolu pe. 2. Koe fiema’u vivili ‘ae fu’u kakai ni ke fetaulaki mo Sisu. Kia Sisu koe toe fo’i lesoni fo’ou ‘eni mo ia foki ki he’ene kauako koe “pau ke mu’omu’a hono Fafanga ‘ae fangasipi he’enau fiema’u pea na’a mo ‘enau mo’ui ka mole ai koe ‘ulungaanga ia ‘e taha ‘oe kau talafekau” Kia Sisu na’a ne hopo mai ki ‘uta ke fakafetaulaki ia moe fiema’u vivili ‘ae fu’u kakai ni. Pea ‘i he ‘uhinga ko ia na’e too ai ‘etau veesi malanga “Pea ʻi heʻene hifo ki ʻuta, naʻa ne ‘ilo ha fuʻu kakai lahi; pea naʻe langa hono fatu ʻi he ʻofa kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau hange ha fanga sipi taʻe hanau tauhi: pea naʻa ne hanga ʻo ako kiate kinautolu ha ngāhi meʻa lahi.

‘Oku liliu ‘e Toketa Molitoni ‘ae lea “…moved with compassion” ki he lea “langa hono fatu” tokua koe fa’ahinga ‘ofa ‘oku fakalanga mei loto ki tu’a..

Na’e “langa fatu” feeling compassion (Grk: esplanchnisthē), ‘a Sisu koe’uhii koe fu’u fiekaia fakalaumalie pehee fau ‘ae kakai ni ‘o nau hala ‘uta mo hala tahi mai koe fie fanongo ki he’ene malanga. Na’a ne fakamo’ui ‘a ‘enau kau mahaki hangee ko ia ‘oku lave ki ai ‘ae veesi 56 “Pea neongo pe ko e fē ha vilisi, pe ha kolo, pe ha ngoueʻanga, naʻa ne fononga ki ai, te nau ʻai ʻenau kakai mahaki ʻi he malaʻe; ʻo kole kiate ia ke tuku ke nau ala atu, neongo ko e pao pe ʻo hono kofu; pea ʻilonga kinautolu naʻe ala kiate ia naʻa nau moʻui.

‘Oku mahu’inga foki ke tau fakatokanga’i ‘ae hulu pehee fau ‘ae fiema’u mo manakoa ‘e he fu’u kakai ni ‘a Sisu. ‘E malava ke tau pehee koe manakoa ‘o Sisu he talanoa ni koe afuhia mai ia mei he ngaahi talanoa ‘oe ngaahi sapate kuo hili tautautefito ki he’ene fekau’i atu ‘ene kau ‘Apositolo ki he ngaahi kolo ke malanga’i ‘ae “fakatomala moe tui ki he Kosipeli.” ‘Oku ala fakamatala ia mei he’enau muimui holo ai pea mo mu’omu’a ke talitali ia. ‘Oku fakamatala ‘a Ma’ake “Ka ka sio ‘e he toko lahi ki he’enau ‘alu ‘o nau ‘ilo hono ‘uhinga; pea nau felele’i ‘i ‘uta mei he kolo kehekehe ki he potu ko ia ‘o nau mu’omu’a ki ai” (v 33). ‘Oku ‘ikai koe luelue ka koe felele’i koe fakakaukau ia ‘oe fu’u fiema’u pea ‘oku ‘ikai koe kolo pe ‘e taha ka koe kolo kehekehe koe fakakaukau ia ‘oe “kau kotoa mai” ki ai.’Oku fakamatala ‘e he’enau mu’omu’a ki ai ke talitali ‘a Sisu he faka’ilonga ‘oe kakai kuo mo’ui.

‘Oku fakafuofua ki he toko lahi ‘oe fanga sipi pe “takanga sipi” ‘e taha ke ki he fanga sipi ‘e toko teau. ‘Oku tupu ‘ae fakafuofua ni mei he malavalava moe mafai tauhi ‘oe Tauhisipi kene matauhi’aki ‘ene takanga. ‘I he ‘uhinga ko ia ‘oku malavalava lelei leva ai ‘ae fatongia “Tauhi” ‘ae Tauhisipi ki hono mapule’i, faingofua ki hono lau mo manatu’ihonau ngaahi hingoa taki taha pea ‘ikai ia koe ia pe ka ‘oku faingofua kene ‘ilo ai ‘ae “mole moe tupu ‘ae takanga.” Ka koe’uhi koe natula moe to’onga mo’ui ‘ae sipii ‘oku fu’u fakangatangata ko ai na’e fu’u fiema’u ‘aupito ia ke ‘i ai hano Tauhi pea koe Tauhi lelei foki ia (‘Aisea 53:6; 1 Pita 2:25).

Kuo ‘i ai ha ki’i fatu langa kau tauhi sipi/ tauhi ‘aho?

 

 

Kia Sisu koe sipii ko hono totonu matee ke ‘i ai pe hono tauhi ‘o fakatatau ki hono natula he ‘oku fu’u faingofua ke hau hee mei he takanga pea matamata koe langafatu ‘a Sisu koe “ta’e tauhi ha Siasi/ fanga sipi.” ‘Io pea hangee koe lotu vete angahala “kuo mau ‘alu noa pe ‘o afe mei ho ngaahi hala hangee ha fangasipi hee.
