Saint o ka lā no Kekemapa 5: ka moʻolelo o San Saba
Hemolele o ka lā no Kēkēmapa 5
(439 - Kekemapa 5, 532)
ʻO ka moʻolelo o San Saba
Hānau ʻia ma Cappadocia, ʻo Sabas kekahi o nā kūpuna i mahalo nui ʻia ma waena o nā mōneka o Palesetina a ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea hoʻokumu i ka monasticism Hikina.
Ma hope o kahi wā kamaliʻi hauʻoli ʻole i hōʻino ʻia ʻo ia a pakele i nā manawa he nui, ua ʻimi ʻo Sabas i ka puʻuhonua i kahi mōneka. I ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o ka ʻohana e hoʻohuli iā ia e hoʻi i ka home, ua huki ke keiki i ke ola mōneka. ʻOiai ʻo ia ka mōneka ʻōpio loa i loko o ka hale, ua ʻoi aku kona maikaʻi ma ka maikaʻi.
I ka makahiki 18 ua hele ʻo ia i Ierusalema, e hoʻāʻo nei e aʻo hou e pili ana i ka noho kaʻawale ʻana. Ua noi koke ʻo ia e ʻae ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he haumana no kahi mea waiho wale kaulana, ʻoiai ua manaʻo ʻia he ʻōpio ʻo ia e noho piha me he hermit. I ka mua, ua noho ʻo Sabas ma kahi hale mōneka, kahi āna i hana ai i ke ao a ua noho nui i ka pō i ka pule. I ka makahiki 30, ua ʻae ʻia ʻo ia e noho i ʻelima mau lā i kēlā me kēia pule ma kahi ana mamao e pili ana, e hana ana i ka pule a me ka hana lima lima i ke ʻano o nā ʻeke i ulana ʻia. Ma hope o ka make ʻana o kāna alakaʻi, Saint Euthymius, neʻe ʻo Sabas i ka wao nahele kokoke iā Ieriko. Ma laila ʻo ia i noho ai i mau makahiki i loko o ke ana kokoke i ke kahawai ʻo Cedron. ʻO ke kaula kona ala e hiki ai. ʻO nā mea ulu wale i waena o nā pōhaku kāna meaʻai. Mai kēlā manawa kēia manawa lawe mai nā kāne iā ia i nā meaʻai a me nā mea hou aku, ʻoiai ʻo ia e hele mamao loa no kāna wai.
Ua hele mai kekahi o kēia mau kāne i ona lā me ka makemake e hui pū me ia i kona kaʻawale. I ka mua hōʻole ʻo ia. Akā ʻaʻole i liʻuliʻu ma hope o kona hilinaʻi ʻana, hoʻonui ʻia kāna mau ukali ma mua o 150, nā mea āpau e noho ana i nā hale pākahi e ʻākoakoa a puni kahi halepule, i kapa ʻia ka laura.
Ua hoʻohuli ka pīhopa i kahi Sabas makemake ʻole, a laila i kāna mau kanalima mau makahiki, e hoʻomākaukau no ka ʻoihana kahuna i hiki iā ia ke lawelawe ʻoi aku i kāna kaiāulu monastic i ke alakaʻi. ʻOiai e hana ana ma ke ʻano he abbot i kahi kaiāulu nui o nā mōneka, ua manaʻo mau ʻia ʻo ia e kāhea i ke ola o kahi hermit. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, mau i ka manawa o ka Lent, ua haʻalele ʻo ia i kāna mōneka no nā wā lōʻihi, pinepine i ko lākou pilikia. Ua haʻalele kahi hui o 60 mau kāne i ka mōneka, e noho ana i kahi hale i wāwahi kokoke ʻia. I ka ʻike ʻana o Sabas i nā pilikia a lākou e kū nei, ua hāʻawi manawaleʻa ʻo ia iā lākou i nā lako a ua ʻike maka i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana o ko lākou hale pule.
I nā makahiki i hala, hele ʻo Saba ma Palesetine, e haʻi ana i ka manaʻoʻiʻo maoli a hoʻihoʻi maikaʻi i nā mea he nui i ka hale pule. I ka makahiki 91, i ka pane ʻana i kahi hoʻopiʻi mai ka Patriarch o Ierusalema, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Sabas i kahi huakaʻi i Constantinopole me ka kipi ʻana o ko Samaria a me kāna hoʻomāinoino kolohe. Ua maʻi ʻo ia a ma hope koke iho o kona hoʻi ʻana ua make ʻo ia i ka hale mōneka o Mar Saba. I kēia lā e noho mau ʻia nei ka mōneka e nā mōneka o ka Halepule Orthodox Hikina a ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Saint Saba kekahi o nā mea koʻikoʻi o ka monasticism mua.

Kakaikahi o mākou e kaʻana like i ka makemake o Sabas no kahi ana wao nahele, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o mākou i kekahi manawa huhū i nā koi a kekahi poʻe e waiho ai i kā mākou manawa. Hoʻomaopopo ʻo Sabas i kēia. I ka manawa i loaʻa ai iā ia ka mehameha āna i makemake ai, ua hoʻomaka koke kahi kaiāulu e ʻākoakoa a puni iā ia, a ua hoʻokau ʻia ʻo ia e lilo i alakaʻi. Kū ia i kumu hoʻohālikelike o ka lokomaikaʻi hoʻomanawanui no kekahi mea nona ka manawa a me ka ikaika e koi ʻia e nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi, no mākou āpau.
