Ke kālā nalowale

Ma kaʻeuanelio a Luka ʻike mākou i kahi moʻolelo e kamaʻilio ai ʻo Iesū i ke ʻano o ka wā e ʻimi nui nei kekahi i kahi mea āna i nalo. ʻO ia ka moʻolelo o ke kālā nalowale.
"A i ole ia, ina paha he umi dracma ko ka wahine, a e lilo ana kekahi." He moni Helene ka drachma e pili ana i ke kumukuai o ka denari Roma, a i ole ia, he iwakalua palani paha. ʻAʻole anei ʻo ia e hoʻā i ke kukui a hoʻohuli i ka hale a pau a loaʻa? A inā i loaʻa iā ia kēia ʻāpana, ʻaʻole anei ʻo ia e kāhea aku i kona mau hoaaloha a me nā hoalauna e hauʻoli pū me ia no ka loaʻa ʻana o kāna keneta nalowale? Pela no hoi, e noho alii ana ka olioli me na anela o ke Akua, i ka wa e mihi ai ke kanaka hewa hookahi, a e huli hoi i kona ala » (Luka 1.5,8-10 Paipala Ola Hou).

Ua hoʻokomo ʻo Iesū i kēia nane ma waena o nā ʻōlelo nane o ka hipa kāne make a me ke keiki hoʻonele. Hoʻomaopopo paha ka hipa nalowale ua nalowale. ʻO ia wale nō, ʻaʻole kahu hipa a hipa paha i mua o nā maka. Ua lilo ka manaʻo o ke keiki hoʻohuna. ʻO ke kālā, kahi mea ola ʻole, ʻaʻohe ona manaʻo ua nalo. E ʻaʻa wau e noʻonoʻo i ka nui o nā poʻe i komo i ka maʻa kālā a ʻike ʻole ua nalowale lākou.
Ua nalowale kahi wahine i kahi dālā makamae. He mea ʻehaʻeha loa ka lilo o kēia kālā na lākou. Huli ʻo ia i nā mea āpau i lalo e loaʻa hou ke kālā.

Hōʻoia wau ua haʻalele wau i kaʻu kelepona i kekahi wahi a ʻike ʻole ma hea ia. Maʻalahi ke loaʻa hou ʻana o kahi kelepona. ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka wahine i ka nane a Iesu. Pono ʻo ia e loaʻa i kahi kukui maikaʻi a hana i ka huli pono no kāna kālā nalowale.

E like me ka hoʻā ʻana o ka wahine i kāna ihoiho e hoʻomālamalama i nā kihi a pau o kona home, no laila ke ākea nei ka mālamalama o Kristo i ko mākou honua a loaʻa iā mākou ma nā wahi a pau. Hōʻike ia i ka puʻuwai a me ke aloha a me ka mālama a ke Akua iā mākou. E like me ka wahine i ʻimi ai i kona hale, pēlā nō e ʻimi ai ke Akua a loaʻa iā mākou.

ʻO kekahi ʻaoʻao o kēlā me kēia kālā e lawe maʻamau i ke kiʻi o ka mōʻī nona ka inoa i hāʻawi ʻia. ʻO mākou a pau ke kālā i hoʻopuka ʻia e ke aupuni o ke Akua. ʻO Iesū ke Aliʻi ke kiʻi ma luna o nā moni a nona mākou. Pau ʻo Iesū i ka haʻi ʻana i ka lehulehu i ka ʻoliʻoli o ka lani ke huli kekahi i ke Akua.
E like me ka nui o kēlā me kēia kālā i nā wahine, he mea waiwai loa kēlā me kēia o mākou i ke Akua. Hauʻoli ʻo ia i ko mākou hoʻi ʻana iā ia. ʻAʻole wale ka moʻolelo e pili ana i ke dālā. ʻO ka ʻōlelo nane e pili ana iā ʻoe iho! Nui ke aloha o ke Akua iā ʻoe a e ʻike koke ʻo ia ke neʻe aku ʻoe mai ona aku. ʻImi ʻo ia i ke ao a me ka pō inā pono a hāʻawi ʻole. Makemake maoli ʻo ia iā ʻoe me ia. Ua hauʻoli loa ka wahine i ka wā i loaʻa hou ai kāna kālā. Aia kekahi ʻoi aku ka hauʻoli me ke Akua a me kāna mau ʻānela ke huli ʻoe iā ia a ke ʻae ʻia ʻo ia e lilo i kou hoa aloha.
