Maty teo Amin’ny Lakroa ve i Jesosy?
Valiny ara-baiboly
Maro no mieritreritra hoe ny lakroa no tena famantarana ny Fivavahana Kristianina. Tsy resahin’ny Baiboly anefa hoe hoatran’ny ahoana ilay hazo namonoana an’i Jesosy. Noho izany, dia tsy misy afaka manizingizina hoe toy izao na izao ny endrik’izy io. Hita amin’ny zavatra resahin’ny Baiboly ihany anefa fa tsy maty teo amin’ny lakroa i Jesosy, fa teo amin’ny tsato-kazo.
Mampiasa an’ilay teny grika hoe staorôs ny Baiboly, rehefa miresaka an’ilay hazo namonoana an’i Jesosy. (Matio 27:40; Jaona 19:17) Na adika hoe “lakroa” aza io teny io matetika, dia maro ny manam-pahaizana milaza fa “tsato-kazo mahitsy” no tena dikan’izy io. a Milaza ilay hoe A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New Testament fa ny teny hoe staorôs dia “tsy midika mihitsy hoe hazo roa natambatra, ary mitsivalana ny iray.”
Ampiasain’ny Baiboly koa ilay teny grika hoe ksylôn, izay mitovy hevitra amin’ilay hoe staorôs. (Asan’ny Apostoly 5:30; 1 Petera 2:24) Midika hoe “hazo” na “vatan-kazo” na “tsato-kazo” io teny io. b Hoy àry ilay hoe The Companion Bible: “Tsy misy teny manondro vatan-kazo roa mihitsy ao amin’ny [Testamenta Vaovao] amin’ny teny grika.”
Eken’Andriamanitra ve ny fampiasana lakroa amin’ny fivavahana?
Asehon’ireto fanazavana sy andinin-teny ireto fa tsy tokony hampiasa lakroa isika amin’ny fivavahana, na inona na inona endrik’ilay hazo namonoana an’i Jesosy.
Tsy ankasitrahan’Andriamanitra ny fivavahana mampiasa sary vongana na sarin-javatra, anisan’izany ny lakroa. Nilaza tamin’ny Israelita Andriamanitra fa tsy tokony hampiasa “sarin-javatra na inona na inona” izy ireo rehefa mivavaka. Ampirisihana ‘handositra ny fanompoan-tsampy’ koa ny Kristianina.—Deoteronomia 4:15-19; 1 Korintianina 10:14.
Tsy nampiasa lakroa tamin’ny fivavahana ny Kristianina tamin’ny taonjato voalohany. c Ny fampianarana sy ny ohatra nomen’ireo apostoly no tokony harahin’ny Kristianina rehetra.—2 Tesalonianina 2:15.
Avy amin’ny mpanompo sampy ny fampiasana lakroa amin’ny fivavahana. d Tsy nanaraka ny fampianarana tany am-boalohany intsony ny fivavahana, taonjato maro taorian’ny nahafatesan’i Jesosy. Noho izany, ireo olona niova ho Kristianina dia “navela hampiasa ny ankamaroan’ny sary sy ny sampiny”, anisan’izany ny lakroa. (The Expanded Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words) Tsy eken’ny Baiboly mihitsy anefa ny fampiasana sampy mba hitarihana ny olona ho lasa Kristianina.—2 Korintianina 6:17.
