Matangi teka (when the wind shifts), in Pasifika, is an opportunity to rethink how to live and behave. When the wind shifts, island people (for the sake of survival) respond appropriately. Based upon such an awareness, this article invites matangi teka (wind shift) in the act of interpretation, in the consideration of traditional readings and theologies, and in the understanding and practices of discipleship. I do these by reading the commission of Abram, and the shifting of his mission, in Genesis 12. He was called on a mission of blessing for other families, and he shifted things so that he wins and controls the blessings for himself and his family. He did (in the text) a matangi teka on Yhwh and (beyond the text) on generations of readers; this article is an invitation to shift the wind from Abram in return.

Matangi Teka（风移）

Matangi teka（当风向转变时），在太平洋岛国，是一个重新思考如何生活和行为的机会。当风向变化时，岛民（为了生存）做出适当的反应。基于这样的意识，本文邀请 matangi teka（风向转变）进行解释，思考传统读物和神学，以及门徒训练的理解和实践。我通过阅读创世记 12 章中亚伯兰的使命和他使命的转变来做到这些。 他被呼召承担为其他家庭祝福的使命，他改变了事情以便他为自己和他的家人赢得并控制祝福. 他（在文本中）对 Yhwh 和（超出文本）几代读者进行了 matangi teka；这篇文章是邀请亚伯兰转移风的回报。
