Kuo pulusi ha ngaahi liliu foʻou lahi ʻaupito ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ki mui ní.

Ko e ngaahi liliú kuo pau ke ʻalu fakataha ia mo e tupulaki ʻi he ʻilo fakatohitapú pea mo e ngaahi liliu ʻi he leá.”
ʻI he ngaahi taʻu ki mui ní, kuo tupu fakautuutu ʻa hono mahinoʻi ʻo e lea faka-Hepeluú, faka-Alameá, mo e faka-Kalisí—ʻa e ngaahi lea naʻe muʻaki hiki ai ʻa e Tohi Tapú.

“Ko e Tohi Tapú ʻa e tohi fakataua lahi taha ʻo e taʻú ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē,” ko e tohi ia ʻa Declan Hayes, ko e Palōfesa ʻo e Pisinisi Fakavahaʻapuleʻangá. Pea ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ko e holi ke faʻu ʻa e tohi fakataua lahi tahá ʻoku hā ngali ʻokú ne taʻofi ʻa e tokanga ki he tonu matemateé. ʻOku toʻo noaʻia ʻi he Tohi Tapu ʻe taha ʻa e ngaahi kupu ʻa ia ʻoku tui ʻa e kau faipulusí ʻoku “fakapipiko.” ʻOku fetongi ʻe ha Tohi Tapu ʻe taha ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea pe kupuʻi lea ʻe fakaʻitaʻi nai ai ha kau lautohi ʻi onopooni. Hangē ko ení, ʻoku feinga ia ke ʻai ke hā fakamānako ki he kakai pau ʻaki hono ui ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e “Tamai-Faʻē.”
Fūfuuʻi ʻa e Huafa Fakaʻotuá
Mahalo ko e meʻa fakatupu hohaʻa taha ʻoku hokó ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e huafa fakafoʻituitui ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa e Sihová. (ʻOku liliu ʻe he kau mataotao ʻe niʻihi ʻa e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá ko e “Yahweh.”) ʻI he ngaahi tatau motuʻa ʻo e Tohi Tapú, ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ai ʻa e huafa fakaʻotuá ʻaki ʻa e konisinānite faka-Hepelū ʻe fā ʻa ia ʻoku sipela nai ko e YHWH pe JHVH. Ko e huafa makehe ko ení ʻoku hā meimei tuʻo 7,000 ia ʻi he tohi ʻoku ui ko e Fuakava Motuʻá. (ʻEkisoto 3:15; Saame 83:18) ʻOku hā mahino leva, naʻe fakataumuʻa ʻa hotau Tokotaha-Fakatupú ke ʻiloʻi mo ngāueʻaki ʻe heʻene kau lotú ʻa e huafa ko iá!
Kae kehe, ʻi he ngaahi senituli kuo maliu atú, naʻe fakatupunga ʻi he manavahē taʻeʻuhingá ke tuku hono puʻaki ʻe he kau Siú ʻa e huafa fakaʻotuá. Ki mui ai, naʻe toe uesia ʻa e lotu faka-Kalisitiané ʻe he ngaahi fakakaukau taʻeʻuhinga peheé. (Ngāue 20:29, 30; 1 Tīmote 4:1) Naʻe hoko ko ha tōʻonga anga-maheni ia ʻa hono fetongi ʻe he kau liliu Tohi Tapú ʻa e huafa fakaʻotuá ʻaki ʻa e hingoa fakalakanga ko e “ʻEiki.” ʻI he ʻahó ni, ko e lahi taha ʻo e ngaahi Tohi Tapú ʻoku toʻo kotoa mei ai ʻa e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko e ngaahi Tohi Tapu faka-Pilitānia ʻe niʻihi ʻi onopooni, ʻoku aʻu ʻo nau toʻo ʻa e foʻi lea ko e “huafá” ʻi he Sione 17:6 ʻa ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sīsū: “Kuó u fakaeʻa ho huafá.” Ko e Good News Translation ʻoku liliu ai ʻa e foʻi veesi ko ení: “Kuó u ʻai ke ʻiloʻi koe.”
Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e fehiʻa ko eni ʻi he huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá? Fakakaukau angé ki he fakamatala naʻe fai ʻi he pepa ko e Practical Papers for the Bible Translator. ʻOku pulusi ia ʻe he Ngaahi Sōsaieti Tohi Tapu Fakatahatahá (UBS), ʻa ia ʻoku fakatahatahaʻi ai ʻa e lahi ʻo e ngāue liliu ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻi māmani lahí. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻi he kupu ʻe taha: “Koeʻuhi ko e YHWH ʻoku ʻikai ha veiveiua ko ha hingoa totonu, ko e sipela ko iá, ʻoku totonu ke hoko ko ha tefitoʻi moʻoni ia ki he founga totonu taha ke fai ai ʻa e liliú.” Ka naʻe fakatokanga mai ʻi he kupú: “Kae kehe, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa ke fakakaukau ki ai.”
ʻOku tonu fēfē ʻa e “ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa” ko iá? Fakatatau ki he lau ʻa e pepa ko ení, ʻoku fakaʻuhinga ʻa e kau mataotao ʻe niʻihi: “Kapau te mau ngāueʻaki ha hingoa hangē ko e Yahweh te ne ʻoatu nai ʻa e fakahuʻunga hala . . . , ʻi he pehē ko e ‘Yahweh’ ko ha ʻOtua muli, pe ko ha ʻOtua foʻou mo taʻeʻiloa, ʻo kehe mei he ʻOtua ʻoku nau ʻosi ʻiloʻí.” Kae kehe, ʻoku akoʻi mālohi ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku kehe ia mei he ngaahi ʻotua naʻe lotu ki ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau Kalisitiané!—ʻAisea 43:10-12; 44:8, 9.
ʻOku taukaveʻi ʻe he kau mataotao ʻe niʻihi ko ʻenau muimui pē ki he talatukufakaholó ʻi heʻenau fetongi ʻa e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻaki ʻa e hingoa fakalakanga ko e “ʻEikí.” Ka naʻe fakahalaiaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e muimui ʻi he ngaahi talatukufakaholo naʻe taʻefakaʻapaʻapaʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Mātiu 15:6) Tuku kehe ia, ko e foʻi fakakaukau fakakātoa ʻo hono fetongi ʻo ha hingoa ʻaki ha hingoa fakalakangá ʻoku ʻikai hano makatuʻunga ʻi he Folofolá. Ko Sīsū Kalaisí ʻoku lahi hono ngaahi hingoa fakalakangá, hangē ko e “Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá” mo e “Tuʻi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi.” (Fakahā 19:11-16) Ko ia ai, ʻoku totonu ke fetongi ʻa e hingoa Sīsuú ʻaki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi hingoa fakalakanga ko ení?
Ko ha toe kupu ʻe taha ʻi he pepa naʻe lave ki ai ki muʻá ʻoku fakamatematē mai ai: “Ko e faʻunga ʻo e foʻi lea ‘Sihová’ ʻoku totonu pē ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei ai.” Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? “ʻOku tui lahi ʻa e kau mataotaó ko e muʻaki puʻakí ʻoku fakafofongaʻi lelei ia ʻe he ‘Yahweh.’” Neongo ia, ko e ngaahi hingoa anga-maheni ko ia hangē ko e ʻAisea, Selemaia, mo e Sīsuú ʻoku toe liliu ia ʻi he ngaahi founga ʻoku ʻikai loko tatau mo hono muʻaki puʻaki faka-Hepeluú (Yeshaʽ·yaʹhu, Yir·meyahʹ, mo e Yehoh·shuʹaʽ). Koeʻuhi ko e faʻunga ʻo e foʻi lea “Sihová” ko ha founga totonu ia ʻo hono liliu ʻo e huafa fakaʻotuá—ʻa e foʻi lea kuo ngāueʻaki ʻi he lea faka-Tongá mo e ngaahi lea kehé ʻi he laui senituli—ko e fakafepaki ki hono ngāueʻaki iá ʻoku hā ngali taʻetotonu.

Kae kehe, ko e ʻīsiu hení ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ha tuʻunga fakaeako pē. Hangē ko ení, ko ha faifaleʻi UBS ʻi ʻInitia naʻá ne tohi fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo hono toʻo ʻa e huafa fakaʻotuá mei he ngaahi pulusinga ʻa ia naʻe ʻasi ai ki muʻá. ʻOkú ne fakamatala: “Ko e kau Hinituú ʻoku ʻikai te nau mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he hingoa fakalakanga ʻo e ʻOtuá; ʻoku nau loto ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e hingoa fakafoʻituitui ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ka ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi ʻa e huafá heʻikai lava ke nau fakafelāveʻi kinautolu ki he tokotaha ʻoku ʻoʻona iá.” Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku lava ke leaʻaki eni fekauʻaki mo e tokotaha kotoa ʻoku kumi ki he ʻOtuá. Ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻa e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku mahuʻinga ki hono mahinoʻi iá, ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ivi pē ʻoku ʻikai kau ki ha taha, ka ko ha Tokotaha—ko ha taha ʻoku lava ke tau ʻiloʻi.
