E bon nooraki te rikirake irouiia aaba aika a bubura.

Ikai are a moan riki iai botanaomata (civilization). Ao ngkanne tina konaa n ataia bwa e aera ngkai iai te manigongoo bwa e nangi toki te aonaaba.
Te Aonaaba ae Tuai n Tia
E katikuia aomata i aon te aonaaba te Atua bwa ana kaoka (restore) Ana Tautaeka te Atua (Government of God). Rutibeero ao ana taimonio (demons) a bon kamaekaaki ikai imwaaia aomata (Itaia 14:12, KCB.). E katikuuia ikai te Atua i aon te aonaaba ae tuai n tia. E tuai n tia? Kanga aron karaoan te keeike (cake). E moan kamwaaki rabatana, ma ngke e mwai, e bon tuai n tia bwa ai tii katokaan te aiting (icing) nako aon te keeike. Ao ai aron naba te aonaaba. Ngke e moan karika te aonaaba te Atua (Karikani Baai 1:1) ao E katea rabatana ao E kanoaia ma kanoana nikabaneia. A takaarua n anene ma te kukurei taian anera ngke a noora aei (Iobi 38: 4-7, KCB.). Ma e tuai n tia. E moan kamaekaia anera i aon te aonaaba bwa ana katamaroaa (improve), katikiraoia (beautify) ao ni karikirakea (develop). Ibukin aei ao te Atua E anganiia anera ana Tautaeka i aon te aonaaba bwa e na kaira aroia ma aia waaki.
Ma, Rutibeero, ae anganaki te kaintokanuea bwa e na kaira raoi te tautaeka ma te rereitaki (cooperation) ao te mwengaraoi (harmony) ibukiia i aon te aonaaba, e a manga kaaitara (rebelled). E ibita te rereitaki ao te mwengaraoi nakon te kabotoa (competition), te buakaka (evil), te kaaitara (rebellion) ao te urubai (destruction). Te oota i aon te aba e a ibitaki nakon te roo. Te mka (decay), te urubekebeke (ruin) ao te rereua (wasteness) a riki nako aon te aba ae taraaki n tuai ni baireaki arona ma kanoana (Karikani Baai 1:2, KCB.).
Ao inanon onoua (6) te bong (Karikani Baai 1: 3-31, KCB.) ao E karuoa Tamneina te Atua ao e a manga “kamaiua aon aontano” (Taian Areru 104:30, KPB), ke, e “onika taraan aon te aba” (Taramo 104:30, KCB), ke, “You renew the face of the earth” (Psalms 104:30, TNAB, New Catholic Translation).
Ma e bon tuai n toka ana “aiting te keeike”. Te Atua E karokoia aomata i aon te aba bwa ana karaoa are a aki karaoia anera aika bure (sinning angels) imwaaia.
E a manga mwiokoia aomata bwa ana katamaroa ao ni katikiraoa te aonaaba.
Te Atua bon tiaki kiingngin te mangaongao (confusion), te kamwaraa (ugliness) ke te mka (decay), ma kiingin te tikiraoi (beauty), kororaoi (perfection), te tonu raoi (character), te tamaroa n arona ni kabane (best in quality).
Ti na taraa kabwarabwaraan Karawa are e maeka iai te Atua. E taekinaki n te boki ae te Kaotioti mwakoro 4, bwa “e katobibiaki te kaintokanuea n Nei Wirara [te oota ae korakora ae bwaronako mai iai te tamaroa (brilliant splendor), te koro raoi (quality), te tikiraoi (beauty) ao te anua ae kororaoi (character)]”. Bon te oota ae korakora raneaneana mani kamiimii are e bon tuai n nooraki n mataiia aomata.
A bon mwiokoaki aomata iroun te Atua bwa ana mwakuriia te aonaaba aio, ana katamaroaa, ana katikiraoiia, ana angan te aba tamneina ae tonu raoi – ao inanon karaoan aio ao te aomata e na karikirakea maiuna ae tikiraoin te mimitong (beauty of holiness) (I Rongorongo 16:29, KCB). E bon aki tangiria aomata te Atua bwa ana maiu n kainanno (poverty), onrake n te bareka ma te kanimumuta (filth) ao ni maeka ibuakon te kamaira (squalor), ao n taraa ni tikibuaka (ugliness). A bon riai ni katikiraoa aon te aba aomata ao ni karikirakea maiuiia ae tamaroa (character). Bwa ngkana a karaoa aio ao maiun te botanaomata i aon te aba ena riki bwa kanga ‘karawa i aon te aba’.
Teraa Ae A Tia Ni Karaoia Aomata
Teraa ae karaoia te aomata nakon te aonaaba are a kamakaaki i aona iroun te Atua? E karikii bwaai nikabane are e taua n baina bwa ana taraabuaka (ugly), e regan bwaai ma te boitin (pollute), e kabonganai bwaai n tiaki aroia (defile), ao e kabuakakaai (profane). E a tia ni ka-boitinna (pollute) te eea (air), ranin karaanga (rivers), nei (lakes) ao marawa (seas). E a tia n kamaraaraa (deteriorated) aon te aba, korei (denuded) kain te buakonikai (forests), are e ibita mwaitin te karau ni baka (altering rainfall) are e karika buburan (expansion) taian rereua (deserts). E a tia ni tiringnga maiun (worn out) te tano (soil) n aki anganna motirawana (Sabbaths of rests) are ni katoa ituua (7) te ririki. E tia ni katei kaawa aika bubura (cities) ao e manga kariaia urubekeaia (deteriorate) nakon mweenga aika a kamaira (slums), a onrake n te bareka ma te kanimumuta (filth) ao e maeka ma te kamaira (squalor).
E moan riki te aeka aio mai iroun te moan aomata (first man) are e aki butimaea (reject) ao e kakiraroaa (turned away) mai iroun te Atua, ao e bon mwiokoia n tii ngaia ni bwaai ni kabane – ao kanoan Atam nikabaneia a bane naba ni karaoa aio.
Ngaia te aomata e a tia ni katea te botanaomata (civilization) ae kateaki iroun te aomata (man-made) ao ni kairaki aia iango (influenced) iroun Tatan. Te Aomata e aki ti urubekea (ruin) aon te aba are e bon mwiokoaki ngkoa bwa e na katamaroaa, ma e bon urua (destroyed) marurungina (health) man arona n maiuakinii maiu aika a aki raoiroi ibukina (wrong living), ao ni kamaraaraa (degrade) ao ni kamanenabuaka (pervert) aron tamnein maiuna (spiritual character). Inanon onoua tabun te nga (6,000+) te ririki, mai iroun te moan aomata ni karokoa te tai aio, ao te Atua e a tia n angan te Aomata inaomatana bwa e na maiuakina maiuna n aron are e tangiria (free will), ao te aomata e a tia ni karaoi bwaai ni buaka (weapons of mass destruction) aika e nangi korakora mwaitina are a konaa ni tiringngiia botanaomata i aon te aonaaba ni kabaneia (destroy mankind) iraua te tai (many times over)– ma tii ngkana iai te Atua ae tangira ae e na roko ni kamaiura (God intervenes to save us).
Tao Teraa ae na Riki ngkanna Tao E Anaa Uwaan te Kai Ni Maiu Atam?
Man te tai are e ‘kanna’ uwaan te kai are e tabuia te Atua ao e bon ibitaki naba maiun Atam. E ‘ure’ matana ao e mataaiakinii bwain te aonaaba. Tao ngke e aki ‘kanna’ uwaan te kai are e tabu ma e ‘kanna’ uwaan te kai ni Maiu, tao teraa ae e na riki nakoira ngaira aomata nikabaneira?
Tao ti na katootoongiia anera ake taan kakaraoa te buaakaka ao n aki mamate?
Tao ngke e bon kanna uwaan te Kai ni Maiu (Tree of Life) Atam ao maiuiia botanaomata nikabaneia i aon te aonaaba e na bon korakora kaokorona ma aron maiuiia ngkai. E na iai te rau (peace), te kukurei (happiness), kimwareirei (joy), te marurung (health), ao te mari (abundance) ae ena kabutaa aon te aonaaba.
Ma, e rin i nanona Atam ataakin te raoiroi (knowledge of good) ao te buakaka (as well as evil) ngke e kanna uwaan te kai are tabu. Ma bon tii ana raoiroi te aomata, akea riki i aon aei are e konaa tamnein te aomata (human spirit) ni karekea man ana konabwai rabatan te aomata (physical human). E kaakeaa onimakinan (rejected reliance) te Atua teuae Atam ao e bon tii onimakinna i bon irouna (relied on himself) ibukin karekean te ataibwai (knowledge), konabwai (ability) ao te korakora (power) – are a bon tiatianaki iai aomata, bwa a mamanaaki ao ni kairiirakii iroun teuare e buakaka maiuna are Tatan (Satan).
Ngke e bon ‘kanna’ uwaan te Kai ni Maiu, ao e na katokaaki Atam i aon kaintokanuean te aonaaba (earth’s throne) are e tekateka i aona ngkai Tatan, ao e na kaoka ana tautaeka te Atua (restore Gods government), e na kakorakoraaki (empowered), kaririaki (influenced) ao e na kairaki (led) iroun te Atua ae Maiu n aki Tootoki. Ma Atam e kariaia Tatan bwa e na rin inanona. Ao ibukin aei are e a iraeaki (kidnapped) ao ni tauaki ma te matoa (held captive) iroun Tatan.
Ngaia are te moan aomata (Atam) e aki kakoauaa (disbelieved) te Atua, e aki ongeaaba (disobeyed) nakon te Atua, e tangiria bwa e na bon KAIRA MAIUNA I BON IROUNA, n karaoa are e taku. E kariaia (willingly) karaoakin bwaai aikai Atam ma, bon tiaki mai inanona ni koaua (not apparently willfully) ke nanona n iowawa (malicious intent).
E kariaia (willingly) Atam tauana ma te matoa (captive) iroun Tatan. E a tia ni kariaia bwa e na irira (go along) Tatan, te baku ibukin iraeiakiia-aomata (archkinapper of all time).
Te Aonaaba ae Tauaki ma te Matoa
E bon karikaki Atam bwa e na konaa ni manga ‘bungiaki’ bwa natin te ATUA. E ngae ngke e tuai n atongaki bwa te nati (begotten son) n ana UTU te ATUA, e bon karikaki ibukin anne. Ma ngke e kamaraurau (succumbed) nakon Tatan, ao ni kariaia karaoan are e taku (choosing to do his own thing) n kaaitaraa ana tua te Atua, ao ikai are e a riki tamneina bwa ana bwai Tatan (spiritual property of Satan). E a kariaia Atam bwa e na ira ana tautaeka Tatan, n ira tuan (law) te tautaeka anne – te tua ni kamoamoa (vanity), te tua are ‘Tii Ngai’, ke ‘Ngai Moa’ (self-centredness) – aika a karika te anua ae te kakatonga (self-glory), te mataai (coveting), te kabootoa (competition), tangiran (desire) te katei n ANANAIA (GET) ao tiaki anuan te Atua are te ANGNGAANGA (GIVE).
Botanaomata ni kabaneiia a bon bane n otinako mai iroun Atam ma Nei Ewa. Te aonaaba aio e bon bwebwerake mai irouiia. A tauaki ma te matoa (held captive), iroun Tatan, mai iroun Atam nikarokoa ngkai. Ao te aonaaba e bon rinea anuan te tia iraeaomata (kidnapper) ao tiaki anuan te Karo (Parent).
Ngaia te Atua e na kabaka mwane ibukiia aomata aika a iraeaki (pay the ransom price) ao, riki, ni kaokiia aomata aika a konaa n riki bwa natina n te tamnei (potential spiritual children) nakoina. Ma, n te tai aei moa ao te Atua e bon tuai ni baireia bwa e nang kaitiakiia (redeem), ke ni kaetiia (correct), ke ni kaokiia (restore) botanaomata ni kabaneiia nakoina.
Ngke e bure Atam, ao te Atua e kaina kawain (closed off) te Kai ni Kamaiu (Tree of Life) nakon te aonaaba nikabuta nikarokoa te tai are Atam te Kauoman, Iesu Kristo, ena roko n eekaanako (depose) Tatan ao n oneamwiina i aon kaintokanuean te aonaaba (throne of the earth).
Moan Tein te Aonaaba
Man te tai are e bure iai Atam, ao te Atua e a kaina (closed off) te kai ni maiu (tree of life) nakon te aonaaba ni kabane nikarokoa te tai are Atam te ka-2, Iesu Kristo, e a tia n ekaanako (deposed) Tatan ao n tekateka i aon ana kaintokanuea te aonaaba (throne of the earth).
Bon akea te tua ae akea te rekenikai nako iai ngkana e uruakaki te tua anne. Te rekenikai ibukin riaon ana tua te Atua bon te MATE!
Te rekenikai ke te tuaa (penalty) ae te mate e bon reke nakon Atam ao kanoana (descendants) ni kabane. Te tuaa anne e riai ni kabwaraaki (paid for). Akea ae konaa n birinako mai iai. Kanoan Atam ni kabaneiia a bon bane n reke i aan te rekenikai ae te mate, bwa ana bane ni bure (all would sin). Tao e kukurei moa ngkai Tatan n ana iango are e taku bwa tao e a tia ni kaburea ana kaataninga te Atua are e na kaoka ana tautaeka (restore God’s government) ao n ekaanako (unseat) Tatan man ana kaintokanuea te aonaaba.
Ma, te bwai are e aki ataia Tatan bwa ana kaantaninga te Atua ibukin kamaiuaia aomata (saving humanity), ao ibukin kamawaan (removal) Tatan man ana kaintokanuea i aon te aonaaba e bon tuai n kakoroaki bukina.
Man moan tein te aonaaba, ao e bon baireaki bwa Iesu Kristo, ae ana “Tiibuteteei te Atua” (Lamb of God), e na tiringaki bwa boon (payment) te tuaa (penalty) ae reke man aia bure (sin) aomata (Kaotioti 13:8, KCB), ao onean muiin te karea aio (substitute sacrifice) bon tii te rainannano (repentance) ao te onimaki (faith). E bon baireia naba te Atua n te tai anne bwa ni kabane kanoan Atam ana bane ni mate (all shall die), ao imuiin mateia ana kautaki (resurrected) nakon te motikintaeka (Ebera 9:27, KCB). N aiaron Atam ao ni kabane ana mate, ao iroun Kristo ana bane ni kamaiuaki [kautaki man te mate bwa ana motikaki taekaia] (I Korinto 15:22, KPB).
Ma e ngae n anne, ao akea ae konaa ni bungiaki mai iroun te Atua ma tii ngkana anuan te Atua (Godly character) ae tabu ao ae nangi eti a tia n karinaki inanona (instilled within), ngkana e kariaia individual choice) ao kakoauaana e na oti man ana mwakuri nako (proof by performance).
Inanon 6,000 te ririki n maiuiia botanaomata (civilization) ao e bon rikirake (developed) nakon ae tia aranna bwa katein te aonaaba (way of the world) ngkai. Ma te aomata bon ngaia are e tauaki ma te matoa (held captive).

N TE BONG AEI AO TATAN E BON TEIMATOA N TEKATEKA I AON ANA KAINTOKANUEA TE AONAABA.
Nikarokoa te tai aei ao Tatan e a bon tia n mwamwakuri inanoiia aomata nikabaneiia. E a tia ngkai n karinna inanon te aonaaba aekan katei ni riaboroo aika nangi mwaiti.
Ma e kangaara Tatan n karinii waaki n riaboroo aikai inanon aia iango (minds) aomata, riki irouiia ara kabane ni bwakuaku n te wanawana ao n te rabakau i aon te reirei (education), te tiainti (science), te tautaeka (government), ao taabo (areas) ake a nooraki rabakauiia aomata aika a nangi kamiimii (awesome human accomplishments)? Te titiraki aei bon te bwai ae kamiimii ae e aki nangi ataaki.
Tatan – te Matita n te Kanakobanaa
N te boki ae Ebeto 2:2, ao Tatan e aranaki bwa te “uea ake a korakora ake n te ang,” (KPB); “mataniwii ae maeka n te ang,”(KCB). Ao n B’aibara n I-Matang tabeua: “ruler of the spiritual powers in space” (GN with Apocrypha); “ruler who governs the air” (The Jerusalem Bible); “ruler of the power of the air” (TNAB Catholic translation); “prince of the power of the air” (KJV). Ngkai e mwaaka Tatan n te ang (wind) ao e a bon kabonganaa te eea (air) n kabutaa ana riaboroo nakoiia aomata – rinanon tamnein te aomata (human spirit). E na kangaangaa otam ikai ma tii ngkana: 1) ko ataia bwa e kangaara aron kabiran (transmitted) te banaa (voice/sound) ao te tamnei (pictures) inanon te eea (through the air) nakon te rerio (radio) ao te TV (television); ao, 2) ngkana ko kakoauaa bwa iai tamnein te aomata (human spirit).
Ngkana e bon toka raoi am rerio i aon te ‘frequency’, ke am terowition (TV) e reke raoi ana ‘channel’, ao ana rongrongo te tia kanakobwanaa ena bon mataata raoi nakoim. Ngkai Tatan bon te ‘uea ake a korakora ake n te ang ‘, ke, te ‘mataniwii ae maeka n te ang’ e bon kakanakobwanaa (broadcasts) -tiaki n te taetae (words), te karongoa (sounds) ke n te tamnei (pictures), ma rinanon kateim (attitudes), teraa iroum (moods), ao korakoran kan karaon te bwai ae ko tangiria (impulses) n te tai teuana ma teuana.
Te katooto teuana, ti warekia n te boki ae Etira 1:1, ike e taekina ana uea Bwetia (Persia) ae Tairati (Cyrus) bwa e a tauraoi ni kanakoiia kaain Iutaia (Jews) tabeman n okira Ierutarem bwa ana katea te kauoua n Temboro.

Ao ai aron naba Tatan ae e mwakuri inanon tamneiia aomata (human spirit) bwa e na kamwaingiia aomata bwa ana karaoi katei (attitudes) n matanokunoku (envy), n bakantang (jealousy), n riribaaki (resentment), te aki kan tautau (impatience), te unuun (anger), te kairiribai (bitterness) ao te kakauntaeka (strife). Aikai aekan iango are e kakarin Tatan inanoiia aomata rinanon ana ‘kanakobwanaa’. E bon aki ataaki irouia aomata korakoran mwaakan Tatan. Te tamnei inanon te aomata (human spirit) e a bon tatauraoi ni kakatomaa ma ana ‘frequency’ Tatan.

Ngke e kaina (shut off) te kai ni maiu (tree of life) te Atua mai irouiia aomata, ao te mwakuri aei (kainan te kai ni maiu) e a katurua katean aron te aonaaba (marked the foundation of the world) ae ti maiuakinna ngkai. E bon boboto tein ara aonaaba aio man ribaakin te Atua, man te aki kan ongotaeka nakon ana Tua te Atua, are e kamataataa raoi katein mauin te Atua.

E Rikirake te Aonaaba ae e Onrake n te Riaboroo
