Pea ko hai ʻoku tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku tuai ki he ʻitá, ʻo fakahā ʻa e kātaki fuoloá? ʻOku ʻikai ke toe ʻi ai mo ha taha ka ko e ʻOtua ko Sihová.

3. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo Sihova ʻoku fakatupunga ai ʻene kātaki fuoloa?
3 Ko e kātaki fuoloá, pe tuai ki he houhaú, ko e meʻa totonu ia ke tau ʻamanekina mei he ʻOtua ko Sihová, he ʻoku taʻe fakangatangata hono mālohí mo hono potó, pea ʻoku haohaoa ʻene fakamaau totonú, pea ko e fakasino ia ʻo e ʻofá. (Teutalōnome 32:4; Siope 12:13; ʻAisea 40:26; 1 Sione 4:8) ʻOkú ne puleʻi hono ngaahi ʻulungaangá, ʻo tauhi kinautolu ke mafamafatatau fakaʻaufuli ʻi he taimi kotoa pē. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fakahā mai ʻi heʻene Folofolá ʻo kau ki he ʻuhinga pea mo e anga ʻo ʻene fakahāhā ʻa e kātaki fuoloa ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangata taʻehaohaoá?

Ko e taha ʻo e ʻuhingá ke hoko ʻo ʻiloa hono huafá. Ko e ʻuhinga ʻe taha naʻe fiemaʻu ha taimi ke fakapapauʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi pole naʻe malanga hake ʻi he angatuʻu ʻi ʻĪteni ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga-hau ʻo e ʻOtuá mo e angatonu ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.

5, 6. Ko e hā naʻe fakahāhā ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e kātaki fuoloá ʻi he angatuʻu ʻa e tangatá?
5 Naʻe kātaki fuoloa ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene feangainga mo e ʻuluaki ongo mātuʻá ʻi he ngoue ko ʻĪtení. ʻI heʻena maumauʻi ʻa e fekau ke ʻoua ʻe kai ʻa e fua ʻo e fuʻu ʻakau ʻo e ʻilo-ʻo-e-lelei-mo-e-koví, naʻá ne mei lava pē ke fakaʻauha ai leva kinaua ʻi he taimi pē ko iá fakataha mo e ʻāngelo naʻe tō ʻa ia naʻá ne kākaaʻi ʻa ʻIví. ʻOku ʻikai ke toe fehuʻia naʻe maumauʻi ʻa e māʻoniʻoni mo e fakamaau totonu ʻa Sihová, pea naʻá ne houhau ki he toko tolu angatuʻu ko ʻení. Kapau naʻá ne fakaʻauha kinautolu ʻi he taimi pē ko iá naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai haʻane fehalaaki ʻe taha ai. Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he ʻuluaki tangatá, ko ʻĀtama: “Ka ko e ʻakau ʻo e ʻilo-ʻo-e-lelei-mo-e-kovi ʻe ʻikai te ke kai mei ai: he ko e ʻaho te ke kai mei ai kuo pau te ke mate.” (Sēnesi 2:17) ʻI he ʻaho pē ko ia naʻe faiangahala ai ʻa ʻĀtamá, naʻe ui ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa e ongo maumaulaó ke fai ha fakamatala kiate ia peá ne fakahā ʻa e tautea ko e mate. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e fakamaaú, naʻe mate ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ʻi he ʻaho ko iá. Ka, ko hotau Tokotaha-fakatupu kātaki fuoloá naʻá ne tuku ʻa ʻĀtama ke moʻui ki he ngaahi taʻu ʻe 930.—Sēnesi 5:5.
6 ʻI he meʻa ko ʻení, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga lelei ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻene kātaki fuoloá, pe tuai ki he houhaú. Kapau naʻá ne fakaʻauha ai leva ʻa e kau angatuʻú ʻi he taimi pē ko iá, ʻe ʻikai ke hoko ia ke ne tali ʻa e luma ʻa e Tēvoló ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻikai ke taau ke fai ʻa e lotú ki he ʻOtua ko Sihová pea heʻikai ke malava ʻe heʻene kau sevāniti ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke tauhi ʻenau angatonú kiate ia neongo ai pē pe ko e hā ha ngaahi tuʻunga. ʻIkai ko ia pē, ko e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻo hangē ko ení naʻe mei tuku taʻe tali: Ko e kovi nai ʻa hai naʻe faiangahala ai ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIví? Naʻe fakatupu kinaua ʻe Sihova ʻo na mātuʻaki vaivai fakaeʻulungaanga ke ʻoua te na malava ʻo tekeʻi ʻa e ʻahiʻahí peá ne toki tautea kinaua ki heʻena taʻe malava ke fai iá? Ko e tali ki he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa ʻoku hā lelei mei he fakamatala ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he tohi ʻa Siopé, vahe 1 mo e 2. ʻI hono fakangofua ʻa e matakali ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke nau tupu ʻo tokolahí, naʻe fakangofua ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi faingamālie ke fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻa e loi ʻa e ngaahi tukuakiʻi loi naʻe fai ʻe Sētané.
7. Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ke tāmateʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻa Felo ʻi he taimi pē ko iá?
7 Naʻe toe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa e kātaki fuoloa ʻa Sihová ʻi heʻene teu ke fakahaofi hono kakaí, ko e kakai ʻIsilelí mei he nofo pōpula ʻi ʻIsipité. Naʻe mei lava pē ke fakaʻauha ʻa Felo mo ʻene kau taú ʻi he taimi pē ko iá. Kaekehe, ʻi he ʻikai te ne fai ʻa e meʻá ni naʻá ne kātakiʻi kinautolu ki ha taimi. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga lelei ki aí? ʻI he ʻalu ʻa e taimí, naʻe hoko ʻo fefeka ange ʻa e loto ʻo Feló ʻi heʻene fakafisi ke tuku ange ʻa e kakai ʻIsilelí ke nau ʻalu mei ʻIsipite ko e kakai tauʻatāina ʻa Sihova. Ko ia ai, naʻá ne fakahā ia ko e ‘ipu ʻo e houhau’ ʻo taau ke fakaʻauha koeʻuhi ko e angatuʻu kia Sihová. (Loma 9:14-24) Ka naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ʻuhinga lahi ange naʻe kātaki fuoloa ai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he meʻá ni. Naʻá ne tala kia Felo ʻo fakafou ʻia Mōsese: “He ko eni naʻa ku mei mafao atu hoku nima, ʻo u taaʻi koe mo ho kakai ʻaki ʻa e mahaki fakaʻauha, kae tuʻusi koe mei mamani. Ka koeʻuhi naʻa ku fokotuʻu koe ki he meʻa ko eni, ke u fakaha ʻiate koe hoku ivi, pea koeʻuhi ke ongoongoa hoku hingoa ʻi mamani katoa.”—ʻEkisoto 9:15, 16.
8. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻe ʻikai ke tāmateʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e kau ʻIsileli angatuʻu ʻi he toafá?
8 Naʻe toe fakahā ʻa e kātaki fuoloa ʻa Sihová ʻi he ngaahi ʻuhinga leleí ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e ʻi he toafá ʻa e kakai ʻIsilelí. Ko ha toki ʻahiʻahiʻi ē ʻa e faʻakātaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻenau lotu ki he kaafi koulá pea ʻikai te nau fakahā ʻa e tui ʻi he foki mai ʻa e kau asiasí ʻo nau fai ha fakamatala naʻe ʻikai ke saí! Naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻauha kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he tuʻunga ko hono kakai, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e kaunga ki ai ʻa hono huafá mo hono ongoongoá. ʻIo, naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻa e kātaki fuoloa koeʻuhi ko hono huafá.—ʻEkisoto 32:10-14; Nōmipa 14:11-20.
Kātaki Fuoloa Koeʻuhi ko e Faʻahinga ʻo e Tangatá
9. Ko e hā naʻe fakahā ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e kātaki fuoloá ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Noá?
9 Kuo kātaki fuoloa mai ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá talu mei hono fakakoviʻi ʻe ʻĀtama ʻa e kotoa ʻo hono hakó te ne ala maʻú ʻo ne fai kiate kinautolu ha taʻetotonu lahi ʻi heʻene faihalá. Naʻe ʻai ʻe he kātaki fuoloa ʻa e ʻOtuá ke malava ai ke fakatonutonu ʻa e faihala ko iá he naʻá ne fakangofua ʻa e taimi ki he faʻahinga fakatomala ʻo e tangatá ke hoko ʻo nau fakalelei kiate ia. (Loma 5:8-10) Naʻe toe fakahā ʻe he ʻOtua ko Sihová ʻene kātaki fuoloa ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangata ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Noá. ʻI he taimi ko iá, “naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova kuo fakautuutu ʻa e kovi ʻa e tangata ʻi mamani, pea ʻoku kovi ʻatā ʻa e filioʻi kotoa pe ʻo e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻa hono loto maʻuaipe.” (Sēnesi 6:5) Neongo ne mei malava pē ke fakaʻauha ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e matakali ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi heʻene ʻafioʻi pē ʻa e tuʻunga ko ʻení, naʻá ne tuʻutuʻuni te ne fakahoko mai ʻa e ngataʻanga ki he tuʻunga ko iá ʻi he ʻosi ʻa e ngaahi taʻu ʻe 120. (Sēnesi 6:3) Ko e fakahāhā ʻo e kātaki fuoloá naʻá ne fakaʻatā ai ʻa e taimi kia Noa ke ne maʻu ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻe toko tolu pea ke nau tupu hake ʻo mali, pea ke ngāue ʻa e fāmilí ke faʻu ʻa e ʻāʻāke ke fakahaofi ʻenau moʻuí mo fakahaofi ʻa e fanga manu kuo fakatupú. ʻI he founga ko ʻení naʻe malava ai ke fakahoko ʻa e ʻuluaki taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he māmaní.
10, 11. Ko e hā naʻe kātaki fuoloa ai ʻa Sihova ki he puleʻanga ʻIsilelí?
10 Ko e fakamatala ʻe taha ʻo kau ki he kātaki fuoloá ʻoku kaunga tefito ia ki he feangainga ʻa e ʻOtuá mo hono kakaí. Ko e “katakiʻi ʻa e faihalá mo e fakatupuʻitá, fakataha mo e fakafisi ke ʻoua tuku ange ʻa e ʻamanaki ke hoko ha fakalelei ʻi he vahaʻangatae kuo uesiá.” (Insight on the Scriptures, Voliume 2, peesi 262; kuo pulusi ʻe he Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.) ʻOku tuhu ʻa e meʻá ni ki he toe ʻuhinga naʻe kātakiʻi fuoloa ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e kakai ʻIsilelí. Naʻa nau toutou tafoki meia Sihova pea nau hoko ʻo nofo pōpula ki he ngaahi puleʻanga Senitailé. Ka, naʻá ne fakahā ʻa e kātaki fuoloá ʻaki ʻene fakahaofi ʻa e kakai ʻIsilelí peá ne ʻoange kiate kinautolu ha faingamālie ke fakatomala.—Fakamaau 2:16-20.
11 Ko e tokolahi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo e kakai ʻIsilelí naʻa nau taki honau kakaí ki he lotu loí. Naʻe liʻaki leva ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e puleʻangá ʻi he taimi pē ko iá? ʻIkai, naʻe ʻikai te ne fakavave ke ne tuku ange ʻa e ʻamanaki ki ha hoko ha fakalelei ʻi he vahaʻangatae kuo uesiá. Ka, naʻe tuai ki he houhaú ʻa Sihova ia. ʻI heʻene fakahā ʻa e kātaki fuoloá, naʻe toutou ʻoange ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate kinautolu ha faingamālie ki he fakatomala. ʻOku tau lau ʻia 2 Kalonikali 36:15, 16: “Pea ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo honau tupuʻanga naʻa ne fakafai ʻi heʻene kau talafekau ʻene tala kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne tuʻu hengihengi hono fekau atu; he naʻa ne maemaeʻekina hono kakai, mo hono ʻafioʻanga: ka naʻa nau lumaʻi ai pe ʻa e kau talafekau ʻa Elohimi, ʻo nau fakasikakaʻi ʻene ngaahi lea, ʻo nau manukiʻi ai pe ʻene kau palofita; kae faifai pea hake ʻa e houhau ʻa Sihova ki hono kakai, ʻo ʻikai toe felave ha meʻa ki ai.”
12. Ko e hā ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he Konga Tohitapu Faka-Kalisi Kalisitiané ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻuhinga ʻo e kātaki fuoloa ʻa Sihova?
12 ʻOku toe tokonaki mai ʻe he Konga Tohitapu Faka-Kalisi Kalisitiané ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻo hono fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻa e kātaki fuoloa ke tokoniʻi hono kakai faihalá.

Ka, naʻá ne kātaki fuoloa mo ʻūkuma kiate kinautolu!—Maʻake 9:34; Luke 9:46; 22:24.
