Ripeneta

Ko te kaupapa ko te tangata e hiahia ana kia riro mai hei Karaitiana pono me whakaae ki ta ratou hara - ka tahuri ke atu - he mea nui ki te whakaakoranga a Ihu..

Mai i tera wa, Ua haamata Iesu i te poro, me te kii, “Ripeneta! Kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.” ([x]Whāriki 4:17[/x])

Ko te kupu, ‘Ripeneta’ i roto i te reo Kariki taketake ko, ‘metanoeo;’ ko tona tikanga ko te tikanga, “ki whakaaro rereke ranei muri iho, ara, whakaaro ano (morare ki ite haafifi): – ripeneta.” (Te Whakaaetanga Analytical Concordance). No reira, ko tona tikanga tuatahi ko te ‘huri i to whakaaro:’ engari he nui noa atu tenei i te whakaae a te hinengaro ki te whakaaro rereke.

Ua haamata o Ioane Bapetizo i te faaineine i te e‘a no Iesu’ haere mai me te karere, “Ripeneta, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi!” ([x]Whāriki 3:2[/x]) Ko te hunga i whiwhi i tana karere i tika kia whakaae ki te iwi katoa o ratou he me to ratou hiahia ki te whakarereke ma te tuku ki te iriiri - he mahi purenga - i roto i te awa o Horano. Engari ko tenei, ahakoa te whakaiti, kihai i ranea; Ua onoono atoa Ioane e e tia ia ratou ia faahotu i ‘te mau hotu e au i te tatarahapa’ ([x]Whārangi 3:8[/x]). I te patai, “Me aha tatou?” ka whakahoki ia, “Ko ia e rua nga koti, me hoatu ki te tangata kahore ana. Ko te tangata he kai, kia pera ano tana.” Ki nga pupirikana, ka mea ia, “Kei nui ake i nga mea i whakaritea ma koutou;” ki nga hoia, “Kaua rawa e murua ma te tutu, kaua hoki e whakapae he ki tetahi. Kia pai to utu,” ([x]Whārangi 3:10-14[/x]).

No reira e titau te tatarahaparaa hau atu i te tauiraa noa i roto i ta tatou faanahoraa faufaa e hau atu i te taata (me te whakaiti pea) te whakaae kua mahi he tatou. Me hua mai he panonitanga o te noho mai i nga mahi pipiri me nga mahi he ki te aroha me te tika.

Whakanuia te Pae

Ua haamata Iesu i ta ’na taviniraa i mua i te taata na roto i te faahitiraa i te piiraa a Ioane e te titau atoa ra i te taata ia bapetizohia ([x]Jn 3:22-4:2; Whāriki 28:19; Mk 16:16; Ture 2:38[/x]). Aita râ Iesu i turu noa i ta Ioane i parau no nia i te faatupuraa i te mau hotu e au i te tatarahapa: ka whakanuia e ia te paerewa! Te ite-maitai-hia ra te reira i roto i ta ’na ‘A‘oraa i nia i te mou‘a tuiroo.’

I roto i tenei korero ia ki a tatou:

“Kei mea koutou i haere mai ahau ki te whakakahore i te ture, i nga poropiti ranei. Kihai ahau i haere mai ki te whakangaro, engari ki te whakatutuki. Mo te tino pono, Ko taku korero tenei ki a koe, pahemo noa te rangi me te whenua, e kore rawa e pahemo i te ture kia kotahi te reta iti, tetahi whiu pene iti ranei, kia oti ra ano nga mea katoa. Ko wai, no reira, ka takahi i tetahi o enei kupu iti rawa, me te whakaako i etahi atu kia pera, ka kiia he iti rawa i roto i te rangatiratanga o te rangi; engari ki te mahia e tetahi, ka whakaakona, ka kiia he nui i te rangatiratanga o te rangi. Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, Ki te kore e nui ake ta koutou mahi tika i ta nga karaipi ratou ko nga Parihi, e kore koe e tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.” ([x]Whāriki 5:17-20[/x])

“Kua rongo koutou i korerotia ki nga tawhito, ‘Kaua e kohuru;’ e ‘o tei taparahi taata ra, e haavahia ïa.’ Engari ko taku korero ki a koe, ki te riri noa tetahi ki tona teina, ka tau te he ki a ia; a ki te korero tetahi ki tona teina, 'Raki!’ ka pa ki te kaunihera; a ki te korero tetahi, ‘Kuare koe!’ ka tau ki te ahi o Kehena.” ([x]Whāriki 5:21-22[/x])

“Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, ‘Kaua e puremu;’ Na ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, Ki te titiro tetahi ki te wahine, he hiahia ki a ia, kua puremu ke ia ki a ia i roto i tona ngakau.” ([x]Whāriki 5:27-28[/x])

“I korerotia ano, 'Ko te tangata e whakarere i tana wahine, mana e hoatu he pukapuka whakarere ki a ia,’ ko taku kupu ia tenei ki a koutou, Ki te whakarere tetahi i tana wahine, haunga te take o te moepuku, meinga ana ia hei wahine puremu; a ki te marena tetahi i a ia kua whakarerea, e puremu ana ia.” ([x]Whāriki 5:31-32[/x])

“Kua rongo ano koutou i korerotia ki nga tupuna, ‘Kaua e oati teka, engari me whakamana au kupu taurangi ki a Ihowa,’ engari ka korerotia e ahau ki a koe, kaua rawa e oati... Engari me waiho to 'Ae’ kia 'Ae’ me to 'Kao’ kia 'Kao.’ Ki te maha atu i enei, no te kino.” ([x]Whāriki 5:33-37[/x])

“Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, 'He kanohi mo te kanohi, he niho mo te niho.’ Engari ko taku korero ki a koe, kaua e tu atu ki te tangata kino; engari ma te tangata e pakia tou paparinga matau, tahuri atu hoki tetahi ki a ia. Ki te tohe tetahi ki a koe kia tangohia to koti, kia mau ano hoki tou koroka ki a ia. Ma wai koe e akiaki kia haere kotahi maero, haere me ia tokorua.” ([x]Whāriki 5:38-41[/x])

“Kua rongo koutou i korerotia, ‘Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, kia kino hoki ki to hoa riri.’ Engari ko taku korero ki a koe, arohaina o hoa riri, manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, mahia te pai ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou, a inoi mo te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou, e whakatoi ana i a koutou... ([x]Whāriki 5:43-44[/x])

Na, me te mea ehara i te mea he tino whakamataku te tumanako, Ua haapoto Iesu i teie tuhaa o ta ’na oreroraa parau,

“Na kia tino tika koe, kia rite ki to koutou Matua i te rangi e tika ana.” ([x]Whāriki 5:48[/x])

Engari he pono e kore e taea – he mea ranei? E hi‘opoa maite ana‘e i ta Iesu e ta ’na mau pǐpǐ i parau no nia i te reira.

Kare atu te hara

E rua nga wa ka kite tatou i a Ihu e korero ana ki nga tangata kia 'kahore e hara.’

Ko Ihu, e tu ana, ka kite ia ia ka mea, “Wahine, kei hea te hunga whakapae ia koe?? Kahore ranei tetahi i whakahe i a koe?”
Ka mea ia, “Karekau he tangata, Ariki.”
Ka mea a Ihu, “Kare ano hoki ahau e whakatau i te he ki a koe. Haere i to ara. Mai i tenei wa, kati te hara.” ([x]Jn 8:10-11[/x])

Muri iho ka kitea ia e Ihu i roto i te temepara, Ka mea ki a ia, “Inaha, kua ora koe. Kati te hara, kei pa he kino atu ki a koe.”([x]Jn 5:14[/x])

I te tuatahi o nga tauira o runga ake nei, ka taea te whakapae kei te korero noa a Ihu mo te hara motuhake o te puremu. Engari i te tuarua kaore he korero mo nga hara motuhake. I tino whakaaro a Ihu ka taea te noho kore hara?

Karekau he ohaoha?

He tino kore whakaaro tenei e kiia nei? Te faataa ra te aposetolo Paulo,

“Kahore ano he whakamatautauranga i pa ki a koutou, ko to te tangata anake. He pono te Atua, ko wai e kore e tuku kia nui ake i to kaha te whakamatautau mo koutou, engari me te whakamatautau ka puta he mawhiti, kia taea ai e koutou te whakaririka kau.” ([x]1Tū pū 10:13[/x])

Mena koinei te take, e au ra e aita ta te mau Kerisetiano e otoheraa no te hara a muri a‘e. Na - me pehea tatou?
