Koe lolotonga foki ‘eni ‘ae malanga ‘a Sisu mei ha ki’i vaka ki ha fu’u kakai ne nau tefua mai he matatahi ‘o Kaleli. Koe toko lahi taha ‘oe fu’u kakai ni na’e ‘ikai ha’a nau mahu’inga’ia makehe ‘ia Sisu mo ‘ene kauako. Ko ‘enau sio ki he’ene kauako koe kau toutai pe moe tufunga, koe kau ngoue pe moe tanaki tukuhau. Pea na’a mo ‘enau vakai kia Sisu koe tangata pe kae ‘ikai hano mahu’inga lahi. Ka ‘I he ‘afio’i ‘e Sisu honau loto na’a ne lau ai ‘ae faingamalie malanga ni mei he ki’i vaka ke ne talanoa’i ai ‘ae anga moe natula totonu ‘oe tutupu ‘oe pule’anga ‘oe Langi ‘o kamata mei he ki’i me’a si’isi’i taha mo ta’e mahu’inga taha (small and insignificant). Pea hangee pe ko ia ‘oe anga maheni ‘ene malanga ‘oku ne ngaue’aki pe ‘ae me’a ‘oku maheni mo ‘ilo lelei ki ai ‘ae kakai ke fakavaka’aki pe fakatata’aki ‘ene ngaahi akonaki hangee ko ia ko ‘etau veesi malanga “31 Ko e fakatātā ʻe taha naʻa ne ʻai atu kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehe, ʻOku tatau ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani pea mo ha tenga ʻi musita, ʻa ia naʻe toʻo ʻe ha tangata, ʻo to ʻi 32 heʻene ngoue: ʻa ia ʻoku siʻi ange ʻi he tenga kotoa pē, kae hili ʻene tupu, ko e lahi ia ʻi he faʻahinga mohuku kai, pea ʻoku hoko ko e ʻakau, ko ia ʻoku haʻu ʻa e fanga manupuna ʻo e ʻatā, ʻo nofo ʻi hono ngāhi vaʻa.

Ko ha ki’i tenga’i ‘akau iiki ‘oku matangofua ki he manupuna ke ne ma’u me’atokoni mei ai. Ka ‘i he’ene tupu ‘o fu’u lahi pea ‘oku ne malohi fe’unga leva ki he manupuna ke ne malu mo hao ki ai. Ko e “tenga’i mūsita” ko ha tala fakatātā ‘o e anga e tupu ‘a e Pule’anga ‘o e ‘Otua ‘i māmani. ‘Oku kamata’aki ha ki’i tokosi’i, ‘o hangē foki ‘oku si’i ‘a e tenga’i mūsita ‘i he tenga kotoa pe ‘o e ngoue (v. 31), ka ‘oku tupu hake ko e “lahi ia ‘i he ngaahi mohuku kai pea ‘oku hoko ko e ‘akau, ko ia ’oku ha’u ‘a e fanga manupuna ‘o e ‘atā, ‘o nofo ‘i hono ngaahi va’a” (v. 32). Kia Sisu koe tui si'isi'i pe kae quality:1) hangē ha tenga'i musita, 'o si'isi'i kae kakato 2) hangē ha tenga'i musita, 'o si'isi'i kae potential mo dynamic, 'o tupu fakautuutu 'o hoko ko e lahitaha (Mat 13:32; 17:20; Mk 4:31; Lk 13:19), 3) hangē ko e tenga'i musita, 'o si'isi'i pe kae hikihiki atu mei he tui falalaʹ ki he tui hiki mo'ungaʹ, mei he fakahā 'o e me'a ta'ehā (Hep 11:1) ki he me'a'ofa 'a e Laumalieʹ (1Kol 12:9).
Ko e tenga’i ‘akau ‘eni na’e ‘osi palani mo fokotu’utu’u hono faka’osinga ‘io koe tenga’i ‘akau ‘oe palomesi he koe tenga’i ‘akau ma’ae pule’anga ‘o Hevani.

Pea koe ‘uhinga ia ‘ene mahu’inga’ia ke too ‘ae tenga’i musita ni ‘i he loto ‘oku hanga malie koe’uhii ke nau a’usia ‘ae mo’oni ‘oe tenga’i ‘akau ni. Na’e to ia he manava ‘o ha ki’i fefine taupo’ou ko Mele hono hingoa pea ne fanau’i ai ha tama tangata na’e hingoa ko Sisu Kalaisi ‘io ‘ae tenga’i musita ‘i he feitu’u matu’aki ma’olalo ka koe ‘ai’anga kai ‘oe manu. Na’e tupu hake ‘ae ki’i tenga’i ‘akau ni ‘o hoko koe tangata (incarnation). Na’e ‘ikai hano manakoa ‘e taha he na’e ‘e’ehi mei ai ‘ae kakai neongo ‘ene mohu he langilangi fulipe (Filipai 2:7-8. Na’a ne pekia pea ne toetu’u pea ne ha’ale hake ‘o ‘afio ‘i he to’o mata’u ‘oe Tamai. ‘Io na’a ne hoko ‘o tatau ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani pea mo ha tenga ʻi musita, ʻa ia naʻe toʻo ʻe ha tangata, ʻo to ʻi 32 heʻene ngoue: ʻa ia ʻoku siʻi ange ʻi he tenga kotoa pē, kae hili ʻene tupu, ko e lahi ia ʻi he faʻahinga mohuku kai…”
Ki ha tangata fa’a neongo ‘oku ‘ikai ha’ane ‘ilo ‘e taha ki he taimi moe founga ‘oku tupu ai ‘ae tenga’i ’akau pea ‘oku tatau ai pe pe ‘oku ne tauhi ia pe ‘ikai ka ‘oku ‘ikai ko ha ‘uhinga ia ke ne ta’ofi ai ‘ae tenga’i ‘akau mei he’ene pau ke tupu.

Koe levani moe mahoa’a
Na’e hoko atu ‘a Sisu ki he talanoa’i ‘oe pule’anga ‘i ha toe founga mo ha toe fakatātā ange hangee koe levani moe mahoa’a/. Ko e fakatātā ʻe taha naʻa ne leaʻaki kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, ʻOku tatau ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani mo ha levani ʻa ia naʻe toʻo ʻe ha fefine, ʻo tuku fufū ʻi ha tatanga mahoaʻa ʻe tolu, kaeʻoua ke fai levani hono kotoa. Koe ngaue maheni foki ‘eni ‘ae kakai fefine ‘oe mamani ‘oe ‘aho ko ia ‘ae ta’o ‘oe ngaahi fo’i m. Kia Sisu he neongo koe mahoa’a kilo nai ‘e 20 (tangai mahoa’a) ka ‘oka fai levani pea te ne fakatupu ‘e ia ha mahoa’a lahi pea mo ha ngaahi fo’i maa ‘e malava ke ne fafanga ha fu’u kakai lahi. Kapau leva ‘e ‘ikai ha levani pe ‘isite (yeast/leaven) pea koe mo’oni ‘e ‘ikai ha tupu ia. Ka neongo ‘ene iiki mo fehifehi’a vale ‘ae fanga ki’i levani pe ‘isite ka ‘oku ‘osi kakato pe ‘i ai hono ivi fakatupu. Kia Sisu ko ia ‘oku telinga ke ne ongo’i. Ko e anga ‘o ‘ene mafola ‘a e ngāue ‘a e kosipeli ‘o e Pule’anga, ‘oku fakae’a ia ‘i he talanoa fakatātā ‘o e lēvani. He ‘oku “tuku fufuu ‘i ha takaonga mahoa’a ‘e tolu kae’oua ke fai lēvani hono kotoa” (v. 33). ‘Aua, ‘oku pehē pe ‘a e ngāue ‘a e kosipeli ‘o e Pule’anga ‘i he mo’ui ‘a e fakafo’ituitui. He ‘oku ‘ikai ‘asi kitu’a ko ha koto teunga’ia, pe ko ha koto langilangi fakaemaama ko ‘eni. Ka ‘oku ngāngāue ‘i loto ‘i he mo’ui, ‘o ne “fai lēvani” ‘a e kotoa ‘o e fakafo’ituitui, ‘o ‘asi ‘i tu’a ko ha mo’ui kuo ‘aonga ke ma’u mo’ui mei ai ha tokolahi, ‘a ia foki ko hono fungani ‘o ha mo’ui pehē, ko ‘ene tuku atu ‘o e kosipeli ‘o e Pule’anga ke ma’u ‘aki mai ha ngaahi laumālie. Kia Sisu kuo pule’anga ia ‘oe ‘Otua kuo ‘osi tupu ia pea ‘oku ‘alu ‘eni ia ke fakautututu ‘ene tupu pea ‘oku hangee ia koe talanoa fakatata hoko ki he koloa fufuu moe mata’itofe mahu’inga lahi (growth is inevitable – unavoidable – inescapable.)
Koe koloa na’e tanu moe mata’itofe mahu’inga
‘Oku hoko atu ‘a Matiu ki hono hiki tohi mo ha toe ngaahi talanoa fakatātā ‘e tolu ‘i he potu tohi ni. Ko e talanoa fakatātā ‘o e “koloa na’e tanu ‘i ha ngoue” (v. 44), ‘oku sio ki he ngāue fakafufū ‘a e lotu ‘i he’etau mo’ui ‘o ne kapu ‘etau me’a kotoa pe. He ko e ‘ilo ‘e he tangata ‘a e Pule’anga ‘oku ne tuku fufū pe, ka ‘oku e’a leva ‘a e koloa’aki ‘a e Pule’anga ‘i tu’asino, ‘o hā ko ha mo’ui kuo li’aki kakato ki he ‘Eiki ko Sisu Kalaisi. Ko e talanoa fakatātā ‘o e “fai fakatau ‘a ia ‘oku kumi mata’itofe lelei” (v. 45-46), ‘oku sio ia ki he ma’ongo’onga mo e mahu’inga ‘o e Pule’anga ‘o Hēvani ‘o hulu atu ia ‘i ha toe me’a mahu’inga ‘oku koloa’aki ‘e ha’a tangata. He ‘oku ‘ikai ko ha mata’itofe pe, ka ko e mata’itofe lelei na’e kumi ki ai ‘a e “fai fakatau”. Ka ‘oku tō ‘a e fakamamafa ‘o e talanoa ni ‘i he taimi ne ma’u ai ‘e he tangata ni ha koloa ne hulu atu hono mahu’inga he me’a ne ne kumi ki ai. He ne ne ma’u ‘e ia ha “mata’itofe mahu’inga lahi”. Na’a ne ‘ilo ai foki ko e mahu’inga ‘o e “mata’itofe mahu’inga lahi” ‘oku fe’unga ia mo hono li’aki atu e “me’a kotoa pe na’a ne ma’u”. Ko ia na’a ne fakatau atu ‘a e me’a kotoa pe, ke ne fakatau’aki ia ‘a e mata’itofe mahu’inga lahi.
Koe mata’i tofe mahu’inga lahi ko ia ko Kalaisi ‘oku hulu atu hono mahu’inga ‘i mamani kotoa. Ko ‘eni foki ‘ae talaloto ‘a e Aposetolo ko Paula, ki he hoko ‘a e ngaahi me’a ne ne fa’a polepole ai ‘i mu’a ko e ngaoha’a pe koe’uhi ko ‘ene fungani ‘o e ‘ilo’i ‘o Kalaisi Sisu ko e ‘Eiki (Filipai. 3:8). He ko e ngaahi me’a ne ne fa’a polepole ai ‘i mu’a, ‘a ‘ene tupu tonu ko e ‘Isileli, pea haohaoa ‘ene tauhi ki he Lao, ko e “ngaoha’a” pe.

Koe talanoa fakatātā ‘o e “uloa ne tō ‘i tahi” (v. 47-50), ‘oku tala taimi ia pea ‘oku fakato’oto’o pea mahino hono fakamamafa’i ai ‘a e mahu’inga fei mo fakato’oto’o leva ke fei mo tali ‘ae koloa ‘o e Pule’anga ‘o e ‘Otua ko Sisu Kalaisi. He ‘oku tu’unuku mai ‘a e “faka’osi ‘o māmani” (v. 49) ‘a ia ‘e toki “vahe’i mai ‘a e kakai kovi mei he lotolotonga ‘o e failelei pea te nau laku kinautolu (‘a e kakai kovi) ki he fōnise afi. Ko e potu ia ‘e toki hoko ai ‘a e tangi mo e fengai’itaki ‘o e nifo” (v. 50).
