Kia rite tonu ki te tuku whakamārama
ki te tangata e pātai ana ki a koe mō te take o tō tumanako,
engari me mahi i runga i te ngākau māhaki me te whakaute...
(1 Pita 3: 15)
Kāore au i whakama ki te Rongopai:
ko te mana ia o te Atua hei whakaora
ki te hunga katoa e whakapono ana.
( Roma 1:16 )

DE mōhio ana koe ki te whakapuaki i te Rongopai? E mōhio ana koe ki te aha hei kōrero? Kei te rite koe ki te whakapuaki, "Ahakoa he watea, he koretake rānei" (Timoteo 2, 4:2)?
I roto i ngā tau, kua rongo au i ngā Katorika e kī ana kāore rātou e kōrero mō tō rātou whakapono ki ētahi atu nā te mea he "tūmataiti" tēnā. Āe, ko tō whakapono whaiaro — engari kāore i te tūmataiti.
Ko koe te māramatanga o te ao. E kore e ngaro te pa e tū ana i runga i te maunga… me tiaho tō māramatanga ki te aroaro o te tangata, kia kite ai rātou i āu mahi pai, kia whakakororia ai i tō Matua i te rangi. (Matthew 5: 14, 16)
Tērā pea ka whakaarohia e koe ko te tikanga o tēnei kōrero ko te mea anake e tika ana ko te noho hei tangata pai. Engari ko Ihu hoki i whakahau i te Hāhi kia meinga hei akonga ngā iwi, Akona ratou kia mau ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koe. [1]Matthew 28: 20 Nō reira, kāore e ranea te whakatutuki noa i tā tātou herenga o te Rātapu, me te noho atawhai.
… Kaore e ranea te noho o te iwi Karaitiana me te whakariterite i tetahi iwi kua homai, kaore ano hoki i te rato hei kawe i tetahi apotoro ma te tauira pai Kua whakaritea mo tenei kaupapa, kei reira raatau mo tenei: ki te kauwhau i a te Karaiti ki o ratau taangata-kore taangata ma te kupu me te tauira, me te awhina i a ratau ki te manaaki katoa i a te Karaiti. —Tuarua Kaunihera Vatican, Ad Gentes, n. 15; Vatican.va
Kāore e kore ka ara ake i ēnei kupu ētahi mataku me ngā urupare, pērā i:
- Te whakama i te whakaaro ki te kōrero mō Ihu
- Te wehi kei ngaro ngā hoa
- Te wehi kei puta he wehewehenga me he tautohetohe
- Te wehi kei kitea koe he tangata whakahē i te Paipera
- Te wehi kei kōrero koe mēnā kāore e ngāwari te whakapuaki kupu
- Te wehi kei kore e mōhiotia te whakapono o te tangata
- Te wehi kei ngaro te mahi a te tangata
- Tuhinga o mua rahua.
Kāore te rewera e hiahia ana ki te patu i a koe hei whakamutu i te Rongopai; me whakatenatena noa koe e ia he pai ake te kore e whakakorikori i te poti, te noho ki tō ake ara, ki te kia mau te rongo. Engari ka maka atu e Ihu taua tautohetohe ki waho:
Kaua e mea i haere mai ahau ki te kawe mai i te rangimārie ki te whenua. I haere mai hoki ahau ki te kawe mai i te rangimārie, ehara i te mea ko te hoari. I haere mai hoki ahau ki te whakatū i te tangata ki tōna pāpā, i te tamahine ki tōna whaea, i te hunaonga wahine ki tōna hungawai wahine: ā, ko ōna hoariri ko te hunga o tōna whare. (Matthew 10: 34-36)
Na te aha? No te mea…
…ko te whakatau tēnei: kua tae mai te māramatanga ki te ao, ā, i pai ake ngā tāngata ki te pōuri i te māramatanga, he kino hoki nō ā rātou mahi. (John 3: 19)
Heoi anō, e hiahia ana koe ki te mōhio ki tā Ihu i kī ai tonu i mua i tana kīnga i haere mai ia ki te kawe mai i te hoari?
Kaua e wehi i a rātou… Ko taku e kōrero nei ki a koutou i te pōuri, me kōrero i te māramatanga; ko tā koutou e rongo ai i roto i te reo kōrero, me kauwhau ki runga i ngā tuanui… Ko ia tangata e whakaae ana ki ahau i te aroaro o te tangata, ka whakaaetia e ahau i te aroaro o tōku Matua i te rangi. (Mātiu 10:26-27, 32)
Me pēhea te kore e mataku
Ā, koinei te mea ngaro kia kore ai e mataku ki te whakapuaki i te Rongopai. Ehara i te mea ko te whakauru atu ki ngā Toastmasters; ehara i te mea ko te whiwhi tohu i roto i te karakia, ko te pānui rānei i te Katekihama mai i te timatanga ki te mutunga — ahakoa he pai ēnei. Engari, ko te mōhio ki a Ihu. whaiaro — ia rā, e karanga ana i a Ia, ko te aroha tonu, ki roto i tō ngākau, mō…
…ka peia te wehi e te aroha tino tika… E aroha ana tātou nā te mea nāna tātou i aroha tuatahi. (1 Hoani 4: 18-19)
Kāore e taea e koe te tohatoha i ngā mea kāore koe e mōhio ana; kāore e taea e koe te hoatu i ngā mea kāore i a koe. Ko te kore wehi he mahi e mahia ana i raro i ngā waewae o te Karaiti i roto i te inoi o ia rā, i reira koe e huihuinga Tōna aroha, Tōna Kupu, Tōna aroaro, whakaora, me tōna mana.
....ka taea anake e tātou te noho hei kaiwhakaatu mēnā ka mōhio tātou ki a te Karaiti i te tuatahi, kaua mā roto i ētahi atu anake — mai i ā tātou ake te ora, mai i a tātou tutaki whaiaro me te Karaiti. Mā te kitenga i a ia i roto i tō tātou oranga whakapono, ka noho tātou hei kaiwhakaatu… —POPE BENEDICT XVI, Vatican City, Hanuere 20, 2010, Zenit
E ai ki a St. John Paul II,
…ehara i te mea he tuku noa i tētahi whakaakoranga, engari he tūtakitanga whaiaro, hohonu hoki ki te Kaiwhakaora. —POPE JUAN PAUL II, Te Whakahau i ngā Whānau, Te Ara Neo-Catechumenal, 1991
He nui ake te hiahia o te tangata o ēnei rā ki te whakarongo ki ngā kaiwhakaatu i ngā kaiako, ā, ki te whakarongo ia ki ngā kaiako, nā te mea he kaiwhakaatu rātou… —POPE ST. PAULO VI, Evangelii nuntiandi, n. 76
E whakapuaki ana te kaiako i ngā kaupapa ako; e ora ana te kaiwhakaatu i roto i tēnā. Nō reira, ko tētahi o ngā mea tino kaha ka taea e koe te mahi ko te whakapuaki noa i tō kōrero, i tētahi wāhanga rānei o tō kōrero, ki tētahi atu wairua. E whakapuaki ana i te āhua o tō wheako i te aroha me te mana o te Atua; e kiia ana tēnei e mātou he whakaaturanga.[2]cf. Apo 12:11 Ko te kaupapa, inā koa mō te hunga kāore i te whakapono, he āwhina i a rātou kia whakapono ki a Ihu; kia whakaae hoki ki a Ia hei Kaiwhakaora mō rātou, ā, kia whiwhi ai hoki i te taonga o te ora tonu.
Koinei te whakamārama taketake mō te "take o tō tātou tumanako." Ina tae ki te wā, ka taea e koe te whakapuaki i tōna mauri katoa, i tētahi wāhanga rānei i roto i tō ake horopaki me ō ake kupu, me te māia me te harikoa, i te ārahi a te Wairua Tapu…
Te Whakamaramatanga
I hanga e te Atua te tāne me te wahine i tōna ake āhua. He rerekē te tangata i te kararehe, he wairua mutunga kore, he wairua herekore hoki tōna. Nā te Atua tātou i hanga, kia aroha noa tātou, kia arohaina hoki. Nāna i hanga te Ao hei nohoanga, hei pārekareka mā tātou, hei whakaaturanga hoki i tōna aroha, hei whakaata hoki i ōna āhuatanga atua:
Nā te nui me te ataahua o ngā mea i hangaia e puta mai ai te mōhiotanga e rite ana ki tō rātou Kaihanga. (Te paari o Solomona 13:5)
Kei roto i ngā mea i hangaia e te Atua ngā anahera, he mana motuhake anō hoki tō rātou. Heoi anō, i tahuri ētahi nā te whakapehapeha. Nā te Rewera anō hoki i whakamatautau ō tātou mātua tuatahi (a Ātama rāua ko Īwa) ki te whakapehapeha, kia noho hei atua mō rātou anō. I kore rātou i whakarongo ki tō rātou Kaihanga, ā, nō reira…
…nā te hae o te rewera i uru mai ai te mate ki te ao (Te paari o Solomona 2:24)
He pono, e kī ana te Paipera ki a tātou “He aroha te Atua” (1 Hoani 4:8) ā, koia…
Kāore i hanga e te Atua te mate, ā, kāore ia e ahuareka ki te matenga o te hunga ora. (Te paari o Solomona 1:13)
Ko ngā pouri me ngā mamae katoa o te ao ehara i te mahere a te Atua… engari he mahere tonu Tuhinga nā te mea i hanga tātou e Ia kia herekore ki te aroha, ki te whakakahore rānei i a Ia. I whakakahore noa a Ātama rāua ko Īwa i Tōna aroha, ā, nā reira, i tangohia e rāua te whanaungatanga ki te Atua, tae atu ki te ora tonu.
Engari i te whakarērea te iwi tangata, he mahere anō tā te Matua i te Rangi:
Koia anō te aroha o te Atua ki te ao, i homai ai e ia tana Tama kotahi, kia kore ai e ngaro te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia, engari kia whiwhi ai ki te ora tonu. Nā te Atua hoki i tono mai tana Tama ki te ao, ehara i te mea ki te whakahe i te ao, engari kia ora ai te ao i roto i a ia. (John 3: 16-17)
I tangata a Ihu, i tango i tō tātou āhua tangata.[3]"Nō reira, nā te mea he kikokiko, he toto ngā tamariki, i riro tahi hoki ia me ia anō i te āhua kotahi, kia ai ai e ia te mate hei whakangaro i te tangata kei a ia nei te mana o te mate, ara i te rewera, kia whakaorangia ai hoki e ia te hunga katoa i meinga hei pononga mō te wehi o te mate mō ō rātou oranga katoa." (Hiperu 2:14-15) I mamae ia, i mate hoki i runga i te ripeka i te aroha ki a ia koe kia taea ai te muru i ngā hua mutunga kore o te hara.
Ko nga utu hoki o te hara he mate; ko ta te Atua ia i homai ai he ora tonu, i roto ia Karaiti Ihu i to tatou Ariki (Roma 6: 23). Nāna ake i waha ō tātou hara i roto i tōna tinana i runga i te ripeka, kia kore ai tātou e hara, kia ora ai ki te tika. Nā ōna patunga i ora ai koutou. (1 Pita 2: 24) Nāna koutou i whakaora ngātahi me ia, i murua e ia ō tātou hara katoa, i whakakorea e ia te here i tū hei hoariri ki a tātou, me ōna ture hoki; i whakarērea e ia, he mea titi ki te ripeka. I tangohia e ia ngā rangatiratanga me ngā mana, ā, whakakitea ana e ia hei tohu ki te marea, i a ia e wikitoria ana i a rātou i roto i a ia. ( Kolosa 2:13, 15-XNUMX ).
Nā, kei te tuku atu a Ihu i tēnei koha kore utu ki a koe: ora tonu.[4]"I tōna kakenga ki runga, i arahina mai e ia he mano tini o ngā herehere, ā, i hoatu e ia he taonga ki ngā tāngata." (Epeha 4:8) Kei te tuku ia i a ia ki te muru i ō hara katoa, ki te horoi i a koe kia ma, kia whakahokia koe ki te Matua. E hiahia ana a Ihu ki te whakaora i a koe i ngā mana o te pōuri me te whakama, kia whakahokia ai koe ki te whakahoahoa ki te Atua.[5]"Nāna tātou i whakaora mai i te mana o te pōuri, ā, kua nekehia tātou e ia ki te rangatiratanga o tana Tama aroha, nāna nei tātou i whiwhi ai ki te whakaoranga, ara ki te murunga hara... a Karaiti Ihu, tō tātou Kaiwhakaora, nāna nei i whakakore te mate, ā, whakakitea mai ana e ia te ora me te matengakore ki te māramatanga i roto i te rongopai." (Korohia 1:13-14, 2 Timoti 1:10)
Me aha koe? E mea ana ngā Karaipiture:
Nō reira, ripeneta, kia tahuri mai hoki koutou, kia murua ai ō koutou hara. (Nga Mahi 3: 19)
"...kei waenganui i ahau me koe he poka hohonu kore, he poka hohonu e wehe ana i te Kaihanga i te mea hanga. Engari kua ki tonu tēnei poka i taku aroha." (Ihu ki a Hato Faustina, Pukapuka, n. 1576)
Me tahuri ke tātou i ngā mea e wehe ana i a tātou i te Atua — arā, ko ngā mea e kīia nei e tātou ko te "hara." E mea ana te Paipera, "Ko te aroha ki te ao he hoariri ki te Atua" (Hemi 4:4). Engari ka mea a Ihu,
Ko ahau te huarahi, te pono, te ora: e kore tetahi tangata e haere ki te Matua, ki te kahore ahau. (John 14: 6)
Ka tae mai tātou ki tēnei oranga hou i roto i te Atua mā te whakapono ki a Ihu, arā, ko te ngohengohe ki te pono i whakaakona e Ia — ā "Ma te pono koutou e whakarangatira", Ka mea ia.[6]John 8: 32 Me whiriwhiri noa tātou mēnā ka whai tātou i a Ihu… ka whai rānei i tō tātou ake ara, pērā i a Ātama…
I te tīmatanga i hanga e te Atua te tangata, ā, i tukua kia ngohengohe ki tā rātou ake whiriwhiri. Ki te whiriwhiri koe, ka taea e koe te pupuri i ngā ture; ko te pono ko te mahi i tā te Atua e pai ai. Kei mua i a koe te ahi me te wai; ki tāu e pai ai, totoro atu tō ringa. (Siraha 15:14-16)
I a ia e kōrero ana mō te Rewera, nāna nei hoki i whakatakoto he mahere mō tōu oranga, ka mea a Ihu:
Heoi ano ta te tahae e haere mai ai he tahae, he patu, he whakamoti hoki; I haere mai ahau kia whiwhi ai ratou ki te ora, ina, tona nui noa atu. (John 10: 10)
E hiahia ana ahau ki tēnei oranga nui. E hiahia ana a Ihu kia whiwhi koe i tēnei oranga anō hoki. Ki tāu e pai ai, totoro mai tō ringa, kia "Ki te hunga i manako ki a ia, i hoatu e ia ki a rātou te mana e meinga ai rātou hei tamariki mā te Atua." (John 1: 12)
Te Whiwhi i te Whakaoranga
Koinā te uho o te Rongopai. Ki te whiriwhiri tetahi i a te Karaiti i tō aroaro, ka taea e koe te ārahi i a ia i roto i tētahi inoi pēnei:
E te Ariki, e Ihu, ko koe taku i whiriwhiri ai.
E pouri ana ahau mō aku hara i mahia.
Ka whakaae ahau ki tōu aroha me tōu murunga hara.
Ko taku inoi tēnei kia waiho koe hei Ariki, hei Kaiwhakaora hoki mōku.
E hiahia ana ahau ki te aru i a koe, kia noho hei akonga māu.
Whakakiia ahau ki tōu Wairua Tapu
kia kotahi ai ahau me koe
me te Matua i te Rangi.
E Ihu, ngā mihi ki a koe mō tō matenga mōku.
E Ihu, whakawhirinaki ahau ki a koe.
Ki te mea kāore anō te tangata kia iriiria, whakatenatenahia rātou kia pērā, nā te mea ko tā te Atua te hiahia mō te whakaurunga ki te Tinana o te Karaiti.[7]"Āmene, āmene, e mea atu nei ahau ki a koe, e kore tetahi e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ki te kore ia e whānau i te wai, i te Wairua hoki" [Hoani 3:5]; tirohia hoki a Matiu 28:19, Ngā Mahi 2:38, 8:38, 10:48, 19:4-5, Roma 6:3, me ētahi atu. Whakapā atu rātou ki tētahi tohunga pai. Whakatenatenahia rātou kia pānui i te Paipera; kia tīmata te whakapau i te wā i ia rā ki te kōrero ki a Ihu me te mea he hoa tō rātou;[8]cf. Ioane 15:13 ki te rapu āwhina mēnā kei te raru rātou i te waranga; ki te wehe atu i ngā mahi o mua. Ā, kia wātea koe ki a rātou i ngā huarahi katoa e taea ana, e whai hua ana hoki.
Mena ko te tangata e haere tahi ana koe he tangata kua taka atu i te Whakapono, ka taea e koe te ārahi i a rātou me te inoi penei:
E te Ariki, kua tukua ahau kia tinihangatia;
i roto i ngā mano tini huarahi i karohia ai e au tō aroha,
heoi kei konei anō ahau,
kia whakahoutia ai taku kawenata ki a koe.
E hiahia ana ahau ki a koe. Whakaorangia ahau anō, e te Ariki,
tangohia anō ahau ki roto i tō awhi whakaora.
-Evangelium Gaudium, n. 3
Hei whakamutunga, kaua e whakawhirinaki ki ō ake pūkenga, engari ki te mana o te Rongopai. Kua whakahaua tātou e ia ki te whakapuaki i te Rongopai, nō reira, kei reira mana i roto i te kupu:
Kāore hoki ahau i whakama ki te rongopai. Ko te mana ia o te Atua hei whakaora mō te hunga katoa e whakapono ana… He mea kuware te kupu o te ripeka ki te hunga e whakangaromia ana, ki a tātou ia e whakaorangia ana, ko te mana ia o te Atua. (Roma 1:16, 1 Koriniti 1:18)
Ka waiho atu ahau i tēnei kupu whakatenatena kaha ki a koutou:
Kaua e mataku ki te haere ki nga huarahi, ki nga wahi whanui, pera me nga Apotoro tuatahi i kauwhau i a te Karaiti me te Rongopai o te whakaoranga i nga waharoa o nga pa, o nga pa, o nga kainga. Ehara tenei i te wa ki te whakama ki te Rongopai. Ko te wa ki te kauwhau i te reira i runga i nga tuanui. Kaua e mataku ki te wehe atu i nga momo noho pai me nga tikanga o te noho, ki te kawe i te wero ki te whakapuaki i a te Karaiti i roto i te "metropolis" hou. E tia ia outou ia “haere na te mau aroâ” e ia titau manihini i te taata atoa ta outou e farerei i te oroa ta te Atua i faaineine no to ’na mau taata. Eita e tia ia hunahia te Evanelia no te mǎta‘u aore ra no te tau‘a ore. Kore rawa i kiihia kia huna mokemoke. E tia ia tuuhia i nia i te tiaraa ia ite te taata i to ’na maramarama e ia arue i to tatou Metua i te ra‘i. —POPE JOHN PAUL II, Homily, Cherry Creek State Park Homily, Denver, Colorado, Akuhata 15th, 1993; Vatican.va
…me tangi tonu te panuitanga tuatahi:
“E aroha ana a Ihu Karaiti ki a koe;
I tuku ia i tōna ora hei whakaora i a koe;
ā, kei te noho ia i tō taha i ia rā, i ia rā
hei whakamārama, hei whakakaha, hei whakaora i a koe.”
-Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium, n. 164
