Se a le Faataoto 10:1 uiga, O se tama poto fai se tama fiafia, a o le tama valea e tigā ai lona tinā?
Aisea e fiafia ai se atalii poto i se tama?
.O se tama poto fai se tama fiafia: a o le tama valea e tigā ai lona tinā (Faataoto 10:1).
A wise son listens to his parents because he knows that his parents have wisdom and understanding. He knows that his parents love him, and have the best intentions for his life. A wise son doesn’t rebel against his parents but trusts his parents. Therefore the son has a submissive attitude and is eager to learn from his parents. A wise son is open to their instructions and corrections.
His parents will teach their son from the Bible and raise him in the Word of God. They will make known to him the will of the Lord and teach him, how to walk in the will of God; i Ana poloaiga.
Because a wise son honors his parents, submits to his parents, obeys his parents, and is open for corrections and chastening, a wise son is also able to submit to God, usitai ia te ia, and receive corrections and chastening from the Lord.
A wise son shall have a fear for God, which means that he has an awe for God, because he has been taught to fear, mamalu, and respect his parents.
A wise son makes a glad father because he receives his instructions and grows up having wisdom and understanding. His father is glad, because he knows on what path his son is walking, and where this path leads him to.
Why a foolish son is the heaviness for his mother?
A foolish son is the heaviness of his mother (Faataoto 10:1).
Ae peitai, a foolish son is a heaviness (a burden) for his mother. A foolish son is a rebel and does his own will. A foolish son is prideful and thinks he knows it better, and puts his trust in his intellect instead of his parents. E le faalogo o ia, pe usitai i ona matua ma ia le faatagaina ona matua e faasa’o pe aoaiina o ia.
E lē āva se tama valea, faaaloalo, ma usiusitai i ona matua, ‘ae lē usiusita‘i o ia i ona mātua. O le a le mafai ona pulea o ia ma alu i lona lava ala.
O le atalii valea e faia mea sese, e tetee i le finagalo o le Atua ma le (ola mama) tulaga faatonuina, tulaga faatauaina faaleaiga, ma faatonuga a ona matua. O le a oo o ia i faafitauli ona valaau atu lea i ona matua e fesoasoani ia te ia ma aveese o ia mai le faafitauli ua ia oo i ai. O le atalii valea o le a le aoao mai i ana mea sese ma o le a le salamo foi ona o lona faamaualuga.
O le tina o se tama valea e popole pea i lana tama, auā e alofa o ia i lana tama, e ui i lona faavalevalea. O le a ia mafaufau pea po o fea o ia ma po o le a lana mea o fai, le iloa pe lelei o ia pe leai. Na te iloa lana tama ma na te iloa le ala e savali ai ma le mea e tau atu i ai lenei ala. E le o to'a o ia aua na te iloa e mafai ona sese i soo se taimi. O lea la, o le atalii valea o le faanoanoa lea o lona tina.
O le a le ituaiga o oe tama?
O se atalii o le Atua (e faatatau lenei mea i alii ma tamaitai) o se atalii poto, o lē e alofa i le Ali‘i ma mata‘u ‘iā te ia. O se atalii poto e faalogo i Lona Tama ma savali i Ana poloaiga. E faalogo o ia i le Atua ma usiusitai i Ana afioga. Na te faatagaina lona Tamā e taʻitaʻia ma taʻitaʻia o ia i le upu moni ma aʻoaʻo atu, sao, ma aoai atu ia te ia. Auā ua ia iloa e alofa le Tamā iā te ia ma e finagalo o ia i le mea sili mo ia. O le a avea se atalii poto o le Atua ma sē e anaana i Ana afioga ma savali i le ala o le amiotonu, lea e tau atu i le ola e faavavau.
O se atalii o le tiapolo (e faatatau lenei mea i alii ma tamaitai) o se atalii valea, o lē e fa‘amaualuga ma alu i lona lava ala. Ua ia inoino i le Atua ma teena poloaiga uma a le Atua. Na te le faatagaina o Ia e aoao ma faasa’o o ia, auā na te silafia lelei i taimi uma. E sili ia te ia le faalogo i tagata ese nai lo le faalogo i le Atua. O ia o se atalii valea i le Atua ae o se atalii poto i le tiapolo ma savali i le ala o le amioletonu i le agasala., O Le Ala e Tau Atu i le Maliu Faavavau.
‘Ia fai ma masima o le lalolagi’
