Ka Haʼu Ia Kilisito ʼe Ina Fakamauʼi Anai Te ʼu Ovi Mo Te ʼu Tao

ʼI te Moʼuga ʼo Oliveto, neʼe hoki ʼosi fakamatala age pe e Sesu te ʼu lea fakatata ʼo te ʼu taʼahine ʼe toko hogofulu pea mo te ʼu taleta. Neʼe ina fakaʼosi feafeaʼi tana tali ʼae ki te fehuʼi ʼa te ʼu apositolo ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fakailoga ʼo tana ʼi heni pea mo te fakaʼosi ʼo te tuʼu ʼo te ʼu faʼahiga meʼa ʼaeni? Neʼe ina fakaʼosi ʼaki te lea fakatata ʼo te ʼu ovi mo te ʼu tao.

Neʼe kamata e Sesu ʼaki tana fakaha te temi ʼae ka hoko ai te lea fakatata ʼaia. Neʼe ina ui fenei kia natou: “Ka haʼu te Foha ʼo te tagata ʼi tona kololia, fakatahi mo te kau ʼaselo fuli, pea ʼe heka anai ʼi tona hekaʼaga fakahau fakakololia.” (Mateo 25:31) Neʼe ina fakaha lelei ʼe ko ia totonu ʼae ʼe talanoa tafito ki ai ia te lea fakatata. Neʼe ina tau fakahigoaʼi ia ia ko “te Foha ʼo te tagata.”—Mateo 8:20; 9:6; 20:18, 28.

ʼE hoko anai ʼafea te lea fakatata ʼaia? ʼE hoko anai ʼi te temi ʼae ka haʼu ai ia Sesu “ ʼi tona kololia” fakatahi mo te kau ʼaselo, pea ʼe heka anai “ ʼi tona hekaʼaga fakahau fakakololia.” Neʼe kua ʼosi palalau ia Sesu ʼo ʼuhiga mo “te haʼu ʼo te Foha ʼo te tagata ʼi te ʼu ʼao ʼo te lagi ʼaki te malohi pea mo he toe kololia lahi” fakatahi mo tana kau ʼaselo. ʼE hoko anai ʼafea? ʼI te “hili pe [ʼo] te mamahi lahi.” (Mateo 24:29-31; Maleko 13:26, 27; Luka 21:27) Koia, ʼe hoko anai te lea fakatata ʼaia moka haʼu anai ia Sesu ʼi tona kololia. Pea kotea anai ka ina fai?

Neʼe fakamahino fenei e Sesu: “Ka haʼu te Foha ʼo te tagata . . . , ʼe fakatahi anai ʼi ʼona muʼa te ʼatu puleʼaga, pea ʼe ina vaheʼi anai te hahaʼi, ohage pe ko te vaheʼi e te tagata tauhi ovi te ʼu ovi mai te ʼu tao. Pea ʼe ina tuku anai te ʼu ovi ki tona toʼomataʼu kaʼe ko te ʼu tao ki tona toʼohema.”—Mateo 25:31-33.

Kotea anai ka hoko ki te ʼu ovi? Neʼe ui fenei e Sesu: “Pea ʼe ui fenei anai e te Hau kia natou ʼae ʼi tona toʼomataʼu: ‘Kotou ʼomai, ia koutou ʼae neʼe tapuakiʼi e taku Tamai, kotou maʼu te Puleʼaga ʼae neʼe teuteuʼi maʼa koutou talu mai te kamataʼaga ʼo te malamanei.’ ” (Mateo 25:34) He koʼe ʼe ʼofainaʼi te ʼu ovi e te Hau?

ʼE fakamahino fenei e te Hau: “Neʼe au pakupaku pea neʼe kotou foaki mai haku meʼa kai, neʼe au fia inu pea neʼe kotou foaki mai haku meʼa inu. Neʼe au matapule pea neʼe kotou fakatalitali lelei au, neʼe mole hoku ʼu mutuʼi meʼa pea neʼe kotou foaki mai hoku ʼu mutuʼi meʼa. Neʼe au mahaki pea neʼe kotou taupau au. Neʼe au pilisoni pea neʼe kotou ʼomai ʼo fakasiosio au.” ʼI te fehuʼi age ʼa “te kau faitotonu,” ʼae ʼe fakata e te ʼu ovi, pe neʼe feafeaʼi tanatou fai te ʼu aga ʼaia ʼe lelei, neʼe ina tali fenei: “Ko he meʼa pe neʼe kotou fai ki ʼae ʼe veliveli ʼi ʼoku tehina ʼaeni, neʼe kotou fai kia te au.” (Mateo 25:35, 36, 40, 46) Neʼe mole natou fai te ʼu aga ʼaia ʼe lelei ʼi selo, koteʼuhi ʼe mole ni hahaʼi mahaki peʼe pakupaku ʼi ai. ʼE mahino ia, neʼe natou fai te ʼu aga ʼaia ki te ʼu tehina ʼo Kilisito ʼi te kele.

Pea kotea anai ka hoko ki te ʼu tao, ʼae neʼe tuku ki te toʼohema? Neʼe ui fenei e Sesu: “Pea ʼe ina [te Hau] ui fenei anai kia natou ʼae ʼi tona toʼohema: ‘Kotou fakamamaʼo atu ia te au, kau malaʼia, pea kotou olo ki te fakaʼauha heʼe gata ʼaki te afi ʼae neʼe teuteuʼi maʼa te Tevolo pea mo ʼana ʼaselo. Koteʼuhi neʼe au pakupaku, kaʼe neʼe mole kotou foaki mai haku meʼa kai, pea neʼe au fia inu kaʼe neʼe mole kotou foaki mai haku meʼa inu. Neʼe au matapule kaʼe neʼe mole kotou fakatalitali lelei au, pea neʼe mole hoku ʼu mutuʼi meʼa kaʼe neʼe mole kotou foaki mai hoku ʼu mutuʼi meʼa. Neʼe au mahaki kaʼe neʼe mole kotou taupau au, pea neʼe au pilisoni kaʼe neʼe mole kotou ʼomai ʼo fakasiosio au.’ ” (Mateo 25:41-43) ʼE faitotonu te fakamau ʼaia he neʼe mole agalelei te ʼu tao ki te ʼu tehina ʼo Kilisito ʼi te kele.

Neʼe mahino ki te kau apositolo ʼe heʼe gata anai te ʼu fua ʼo te fakamau ʼaia ka fai ʼi te ka haʼu. Neʼe fakaha e Sesu kia natou te ʼu palalau ʼaeni ʼe fai anai e te Hau: “ ‘ ʼE au tala moʼoni atu kia koutou, ko he meʼa pe neʼe mole kotou fai ki ʼae ʼe veliveli ia natou ʼaeni, neʼe mole kotou fai kia au.’ ʼE olo anai ia natou ʼaia ki te fakaʼauha heʼe gata, kaʼe ko te kau faitotonu ki te maʼuli heʼe gata.”—Mateo 25:45, 46.

ʼAki te tali ʼae neʼe fai e Sesu ki te fehuʼi ʼa te ʼu apositolo, ʼe maʼu ai e ʼana tisipulo he ʼu manatu ke natou fakakaukau ki ai, ʼo tokoni ai kia natou ke natou vakavakaʼi ʼanatou manatu pea mo ʼanatou aga.
