Ko e Hā Kuo Fakangofua Ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e Anga-Fulikivanú?
1. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e māmaní he ʻaho ní? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e lāunga ʻoku fai ʻe he kakai ʻe niʻihi?
KO HA FEITUʻU PĒ ʻokú ke vakai ki ai ʻi māmani, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e faihia, tāufehiʻa mo e faingataʻa. ʻOku faʻa faingataʻaʻia ai ʻa e faʻahinga tonuhiá. ʻOku tukuakiʻi ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku nau pehē nai: ‘Kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha ʻOtua, ko e hā ʻokú ne fakangofua ai ke hoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakalilifú ni kotoa?’
2. (a) Ko hai ʻoku nau fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa anga-fulikivanú? (e) ʻOku malava fēfē ke taʻofi ʻa e konga lahi ʻo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻi he māmaní?
2 Ka ko hai ʻoku nau fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fulikivanu ko ení ki he niʻihi kehé? Ko e kakaí ia, ʻikai ko e ʻOtuá. ʻOku fakahalaiaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi ngāue fulikivanú. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻe ala taʻofi ʻa e konga lahi ʻo e ngaahi faingataʻá ʻi he māmaní ʻo kapau ʻe talangofua ʻa e kakaí ki he ngaahi lao ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ne fekauʻi kitautolu ke ʻofa. ʻOkú ne tapui ʻa e fakapoó, kaihaʻá, feʻauakí, mānumanú, konā mo e ngaahi ngāue kehe ʻoku halá ʻa ia ʻoku nau fakatupunga ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke faingataʻaʻiá. (Loma 13:9; ʻEfesō 5:3, 18) Naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi fakataha mo ha foʻi ʻuto mo e sino fakaofo pea mo e malava ke na fiefia ʻi he moʻuí ki he kakato tahá. Naʻe ʻikai te ne teitei finangalo ke na faingataʻaʻia mo mamahi pea pehē ki heʻena fānaú.
3. (a) Ko hai ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo e anga-fulikivanú? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne fakahā naʻe mei malava ʻe ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ke talitekeʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻa Sētané?
3 Ko Sētane ko e Tēvoló naʻá ne kamata ʻa e anga-fulikivanú ʻi he māmaní. Ka ko e foʻui pē foki ʻo ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi. Naʻe ʻikai te na fuʻu vaivai ke na ʻikai malava ai ke talitekeʻi ʻa e Tēvoló ʻi heʻene ʻahiʻahiʻi kinauá. Naʻá na mei lava ke tala kia Sētane ke “fei mo ʻalu,” ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe toki fai ki mui ʻe he tangata haohaoa ko Sīsuú. (Mātiu 4:10) Ka naʻe ʻikai te na fai pehē. Ko hono nunuʻá, naʻá na hoko ʻo taʻehaohaoa. Kātoa ʻena fānaú, ʻo kau ai mo kitautolu, kuo tau maʻu tukufakaholo ʻa e taʻehaohaoa ko iá, ʻa ia ʻokú ne ʻomai ai ʻa e mahamahakí, mamahí mo e maté. (Loma 5:12) Ka ko e hā kuo fakangofua ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e faingataʻá ke kei hoko atú?
4. Ko e hā ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke mahino ʻe fakangofua fakataimi pē ʻe ha ʻOtua ʻofa ʻa e anga-fulikivanú?
4 Mahalo ʻe tomuʻa fakakaukau ha taha ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻuhinga lahi feʻunga ke fakangofua ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e faingataʻa kotoa kuo hokosia ʻe he tangatá ʻi he faai mai ʻa e ngaahi senitulí. Ka, ʻoku totonu ke aʻu ki ha fakamulituku pehē? ʻIkai kuo fakangofua ʻe he ngaahi mātuʻa ʻoku ʻofa moʻoni ki heʻenau fānaú ke fuesia ha tafa mamahi ʻe heʻenau fānaú kae fakaleleiʻi ai ha palopalema fakaesino? ʻIo, ko hono fakangofua ha fakamamahi fakataimi kuo faʻa lava ai ʻa e fānaú ke maʻu ha moʻui lelei ange ʻamui. Ko e hā ʻa e lelei kuo hoko ʻi hono fakangofua ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e anga-fulikivanú?
KO HA POLE MAHUʻINGA KE FAKAPAPAUʻI
5. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e fakatauʻilea ʻa Sētane ki he ʻOtuá? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻe talaʻofa ʻe Sētane kia ʻIví?
5 Naʻe malanga hake ha pole pe ha fehuʻi mahuʻinga ʻi he angatuʻu ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he ngoue ko ʻItení. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau sivisiviʻi ia koeʻuhi ke mahino ʻa e ʻuhinga kuo fakangofua ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e anga-fulikivanú. Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻĀtama ke ʻoua te ne kai mei he fuʻu ʻakau ʻe taha ʻi he ngoué. Kapau ʻe fai pehē ʻa ʻĀtama, ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻe hokó? Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻOtuá: “Kuo pau te ke mate.” (Sēnesi 2:17) Kaekehe, naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Sētane ia ʻa e meʻa fehangahangai. Naʻá ne tala ki he uaifi ʻo ʻĀtamá, ko ʻIvi, ke ne hoko atu pea kai mei he fuʻu ʻakau tapuí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sētane: “ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te mo mate.” Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe hoko atu ʻene leá kia ʻIvi: “ʻOku meaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ko e ʻaho te mo kai ai ʻe ʻa ai homo mata, pea te mo hoko ke hange ko e ʻOtua, hoʻomo ʻilo ʻa e lelei mo e kovi.”—Sēnesi 3:1-5.
6. (a) Ko e hā naʻe talangataʻa ai ʻa ʻIvi ki he ʻOtuá? (e) Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he kai mei he fuʻu ʻakau tapuí ʻa e hā?
6 Naʻe talangataʻa ʻa ʻIvi ki he ʻOtuá peá ne kai. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Naʻe tui ʻa ʻIvi ia kia Sētane. Naʻá ne fakakaukau siokita te ne maʻu ha ʻaonga ʻi heʻene talangataʻa ki he ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne fakakaukau ʻe ʻikai ke kei fiemaʻu ia pe ko ʻĀtama ke fai ha fakamatala ki he ʻOtuá. ʻE ʻikai te na kei moʻulaloa ki heʻene ngaahi laó. Te na lava pē ʻe kinaua ke fili ʻa e meʻa ʻoku “lelei” mo ia ʻoku “kovi.” Naʻe kau fakataha ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi peá ne toe kai mo ia foki. ʻI he lau ʻo kau ki he ʻuluaki angahala ʻa e tangatá ki he ʻOtuá, ʻoku pehē ʻi ha fakamatala ʻi lalo ʻi he The Jerusalem Bible: “Ko e mafai ia ʻo ʻene fili pē ʻe ia ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leleí mo ia ʻoku koví pea ngāue ʻo fakatatau ki aí, ko ha lau ia ko e tauʻatāina fakaeʻulungaanga kakato . . . Ko e ʻuluaki angahalá ko ha ʻoho ki he tuʻunga hau fakaleveleva ʻo e ʻOtuá.” Ko hono fakalea ʻe tahá, ko ha ʻoho ia ki he totonu ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ne hoko ko e pule maʻataʻatā ki he tangatá.
7. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e pole naʻe malanga hake ʻi he talangataʻa ʻa e tangatá? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻoku fiemaʻu ha tali ki ai ʻo fekauʻaki mo e pole ko ení?
7 Ko ia ʻi he kai ʻa e fuaʻiʻakau tapuí, naʻe fakamavaheʻi ai ʻe ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ʻa kinaua mei he malumalu ʻo e tuʻunga-pule ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻá na ʻalu pē ʻi heʻena founga, ʻo fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe “lelei” pe “kovi” ʻo fakatatau ki heʻena ngaahi fili pē ʻanauá. Ko ia ko e pole pe fehuʻi mahuʻinga naʻe malanga haké ʻoku pehē: ʻOku ʻi he ʻOtuá ʻa e totonu ke ne hoko ko e pule maʻataʻatā ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá? ʻI hono fakalea ʻe tahá, ko Sihova ʻa e Tokotaha ke ne fili ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leleí pe koví ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá? Ko ia ʻa e Tokotaha ke ne tala mai pe ko e hā ʻa e ʻulungaanga totonú pea mo ia ʻoku ʻikai totonú? Pe ʻoku malava pē ʻe he tangatá ke ne puleʻi pē ʻe ia ia ʻi ha founga ʻoku lelei ange?

Pe ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻa e tataki ʻa e ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ke ne fokotuʻu hake ha puleʻanga angatonu ʻa ia te ne ʻomai ʻa e melino tuʻuloa ki he māmaní? Naʻe langaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí ni kotoa ʻi he ʻoho ko eni ki he tuʻunga hau fakaleveleva ʻo e ʻOtuá mo ʻene totonu ke hoko ko e pule pē ʻe taha mo maʻataʻatā ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.
8. Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai fakaʻauha ai leva ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau angatuʻú?
8 Ko e moʻoni, naʻe malava pē ʻe Sihova ke ne fakaʻauha ai leva ʻa e toko tolu angatuʻú ni ʻi he taimi naʻe hoko ai ʻa e angatuʻú. Naʻe ʻikai toe fehuʻia ʻa ʻene mālohi ange ʻia Sētané pe ʻia ʻĀtama mo ʻIví. Ka ʻe ʻikai hoko ʻa hono fakaʻauha kinautolú ko e founga lelei taha ia ke fakapapauʻi ai ʻa e meʻá ni. Hangē ko ení, ʻe ʻikai tali ai ʻa e fehuʻi ko ia pe ʻe malava ke lavameʻa ʻa e pule ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá kiate kinautolu pē ʻo taʻekau ai ha tokoni mei he ʻOtuá.
