“Oku maonioni ae aho ni ki ho tau Otua: bea oua naa mou loto mamahi: he koe fiefia a Jihova ko ho mou malohi.”—NEHEMAIA 8:10, PM.
1, 2. (a) Ko e hā ha mālohiʻanga? (e) Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahaaʻi ʻe Tēvita naʻá ne kumi hūfanga kia Sihova?
KO HA mālohiʻanga taʻefakatataua ʻa Sihova. Pea ko e hā ʻa e mālohiʻangá? Ko ha feituʻu kuo fakakolotauʻi, ko ha feituʻu ʻo e maluʻanga pe haoʻanga. Naʻe lau ʻe Tēvita ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá ʻa e ʻOtuá ko hono mālohiʻanga. Hangē ko ení, fakakaukau ange ki he hiva naʻe fakahanga ʻe Tēvita ki he Fungani Māʻolungá “ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fakahaofi ai ia ʻe Sihova mei he nima ʻo hono fili fuape, kaeʻumaʻa mei he nima ʻo Saula,” ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí.—Sāme 18, tohi fakamatala ʻi ʻolungá.
2 Naʻe kamata ʻe Tēvita ʻa e hiva fakaueʻi loto ko iá ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi leá ni: “ʻOku ou hauʻalofaʻia ki he ʻAfiona, ʻa hoku malohinga ko Sihova. Ko hoku moʻunga ʻa Sihova, mo ʻeku kolo, mo hoku haoʻanga; ko hoku ʻOtua ko hoku makatuʻu ia, ʻa ia ʻoku fai ki ai ʻeku hufanga: Ko ʻeku pa, mo hoku nifo fakamoʻui: ko hoku fuʻu taua.” (Sāme 18:1, 2) ʻI hono lau taʻetotonu ko e tokotaha maumau-lao ia pea mo hono tuli ʻe he Tuʻi ko Saulá, naʻe kumi hūfanga ʻa e tokotaha anga-totonu ko Tēvitá kia Sihova, ʻo hangē pē ko ha taha ʻokú ne lele nai ki ha feituʻu kuo fakakolotauʻi ke ne hao ai mei ha ngaahi fakatamaki.
3. Ko e hā naʻe hokosia ai ʻe he kau Siu ʻi he taimi ʻo ʻĒselá ha “fiefia lahi”?
3 Ko e fiefia ʻoku ʻomai ʻe Sihová ko ha mālohiʻanga taʻematukutuku ia maʻá e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻene foungá ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau tauhi anga-tonu. (Palōvepi 2:6-8; 10:29) Ko hono moʻoní, ke maʻu ʻa e fiefia ʻoku foaki mai ʻe he ʻOtuá, kuo pau ke fai ʻe he kakaí ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni, fakakaukau ange ki he meʻa naʻe hoko ʻi Selusalema ʻi he 468 K.M. Naʻe foaki ʻe he tokotaha hiki tatau ko ʻĒselá pea mo ha niʻihi kehe ʻa e mahino fakafou ʻi hono lau fakatokanga ʻa e Laó. Naʻe naʻinaʻi leva ki he kakaí: “Alu i ho mou hala, kai ae gako, bea inu ae mea melie, bea fekau ke ave ae gaahi inaji kiate kinautolu aia nae ikai teuteu ha mea e taha ki ai: he oku maonioni ae aho ni ki ho tau Otua: bea oua naa mou loto mamahi: he koe fiefia a Jihova ko ho mou malohi.” Naʻe hoko ha “fiefia lahi” ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻe he kau Siú ʻa e ʻilo naʻa nau maʻú pea mo ʻenau fai fiefia ʻa e Kātoanga Fale-Louʻakaú. (Nehemaia 8:1-12, PM) Ko e faʻahinga naʻa nau maʻu ‘ʻa e fiefia ʻa Sihová ko honau mālohí’ naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e mālohi ki he lotu kiate iá pea mo fai ʻene ngāué. Koeʻuhi ko e fiefia ʻa Sihová naʻe hoko ia ko honau mālohiʻanga, ʻoku totonu ke tau ʻamanekina ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻaho ní ke nau fiefia foki mo kinautolu. Ko ia, ko e hā ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻi he ʻahó ni ke nau fiefiá?
“Ke Fiefia Pe”
4. Ko e hā ha tupuʻanga tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻe taha ʻo e fiefiá ki he kakai ʻa Sihová?
4 Ko e ʻuhinga tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻe taha ki he fiefiá ko e tokonaki ko ia ʻa Sihova ʻokú ne ʻai ke fakatahatahaʻi ai kinautolú. Ko e ngaahi fakataha fakafeituʻu mo e ngaahi fakataha fakavahe ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻoku nau fakahoko mai kiate kinautolu ʻa e fiefia he ʻahó ni, ʻo hangē pē ko ia naʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi kātoanga fakataʻu naʻe fai ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻa ia naʻe fakahoko mai ai ʻa e fiefia ki honau lotó. Naʻe tala ki he kakai ʻo ʻIsilelí: “Ko e fituʻi ʻaho te ke fai katoanga ai kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻi he potu te ne fili ki ai: koeʻuhi ʻe tapuakiʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi hoʻo fua kehekehe, pea mo e ngaue kehekehe ʻa ho nima, pea te ke fiefia pe.” (Teutalōnome 16:13-15) ʻIo, naʻe loto ʻa e ʻOtuá ke nau “fiefia pe.” Ko e fiemaʻu tatau pē ʻeni fekauʻaki mo e kau Kalisitiané, he naʻe naʻinaʻi ʻa e ʻaposetolo ko Paulá ki hono kaungā-tuí: “Mou fiefia ʻi he ʻEiki maʻu ai pe: ʻio, kau toe ʻai atu, Mou fiefia.”—Filipai 4:4.
5. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e fiefiá, pea ʻoku anga-fēfē ʻa hono maʻu ia ʻe he kau Kalisitiané? (e) ʻOku lava fēfē ke tau maʻu ʻa e fiefiá neongo ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí?
5 Koeʻuhi ʻoku loto ʻa Sihova ke tau fiefia, ʻokú ne ʻomai kiate kitautolu ʻa e fiefiá he ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi fua ʻo hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní. (Kalētia 5:22, 23) Pea ko e hā koā ʻa e fiefiá? Ko e ongo ʻoku lelei naʻe fakatupunga ia ʻe he ʻamanaki pe ko hono maʻu ʻo e lelei. Ko e fiefiá ko ha tuʻunga fakafiefia moʻoni, naʻa mo e hakailangitau. Ko e fua ko eni ʻo e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi he hoko ʻa e ʻahiʻahí. “Ko e meʻa ke ne maʻu ʻa e fiefia naʻe tala humaki kiate ia [Sīsū], ko ia naʻa ne kataki ʻa e mate kalusefai, naʻe ʻikai te ne tokaʻi hono fakamāʻi, pea kuo ne nofo hifo foki mei he toʻomataʻu ʻo e taloni ʻo e ʻOtua.” (Hepelū 12:2) Naʻe tohi ʻa e ākonga ko Sēmisí: “Siʻoku kainga, mou lau ko e koto fakafiefia ʻo ka mou ka to ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kehekehe; ko hoʻomou ʻilo, ko e sivi ʻo hoʻomou tui ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻa e kataki.” Kae fēfē kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke tau ʻilo ʻa e meʻa ke faí ʻi ha ʻahiʻahi ʻoku hoko? ʻOku lava leva ke tau falala ʻo kole ʻa e potó ke tau fekuki ai mo e meʻa ko iá. Ko e ngāue ʻo fehoanaki mo e poto fakahēvaní ʻokú ne fakaivia kitautolu ke tau fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi palopalemá pe ke tau fekuki mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻoku tuʻukāivi maí ʻo ʻoua naʻa mole ai ʻa e fiefia ʻa Sihová.—Sēmisi 1:2-8.
6. Ko e hā ʻa e kaunga ʻo e fiefiá ki he lotu moʻoní?
6 Ko e fiefia ʻoku ʻomai ʻe Sihová ʻokú ne fakaivia kitautolu ke tau pouaki ʻa e lotu moʻoní. Ko e meʻa ia naʻe hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Nehemaia mo ʻĒselá. Ko e kau Siu ʻo e taimi ko iá ʻa ia naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e fiefia ʻa Sihová ko honau mālohiʻangá naʻa nau maʻu ai ha mālohi ke nau fakalahi atu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fekauʻaki mo hono fai ʻa e lotu moʻoní. Pea ʻi heʻenau pouaki ʻa e lotu kia Sihová, naʻe tupulekina ai ʻenau fiefiá. ʻOku hoko ʻa e meʻa tatau pē ʻi he ʻahó ni. ʻI he tuʻunga ko e kau lotu kia Sihová, ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻa e makatuʻunga ki he fiefia lahi. Tau fakakaukau ange he taimí ni ki he niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻuhinga lahi ki he fiefiá.

7. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo Sihová, ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kau Kalisitiané ki he fiefiá?
7 Ko hotau vahaʻangatae vāofi mo Sihová ʻokú ne ʻai kitautolu ʻo tau hoko ko e kakai fiefia lahi taha ʻi he māmaní. Ki muʻa ke hoko ko e kau Kalisitiané, ko ha konga kitautolu ʻo e kakai taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻa ia ʻoku ‘ʻi he fakapoʻuli fakaʻatamai pea motu mei he moʻui ʻa e ʻOtuá.’ (ʻEfesō 4:18) Ko ha fiefia lahi ē ka ko kitautolu ʻi he ʻikai ke tau kei hoko ʻo motu meia Sihová! Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻa e feinga kae lava ke kei ʻi heʻene tuʻunga fakahōifuá. Kuo pau ke tau “tuu mau i he tui o aka mo tuu fakamakatuu, bea ikai hiki mei he amanaki lelei oe ogoogolelei.” (Kolose 1:21-23, PM) ʻOku lava ke tau fiefia koeʻuhi he ʻoku tohoaki kitautolu ʻe Sihova ki hono ʻAló ʻi he fehoanaki mo e ngaahi lea tonu ʻa Sīsuú: “ʻOku ʻikai lava ʻe ha taha ke haʻu kiate au, ka ʻi he tohoaki ia ʻe he Tamai naʻa ne fekau mai au.” (Sione 6:44) Kapau ʻoku tau houngaʻia moʻoni ʻi hotau vahaʻangatae maʻongoʻonga mo e ʻOtuá fakafou ʻia Kalaisí, te tau maluʻi ia mei ha meʻa ʻe lava ke ne maumauʻi ia.
8. Kuo anga-fēfē ʻa e tokoni ʻa Sīsū ki heʻetau fiefiá?

Naʻe ʻomai ʻe heʻetau kui ko ʻĀtamá ʻa e maté ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻo e tangatá tupu mei heʻene angahala loto pē ki ai. Kae kehe, naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻaposetolo ko Paulá: “Ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ne fakaha ʻa e moʻoni o ʻene ʻofa aʻana kiate kitautolu ʻi he pekia ʻa Kalaisi maʻatautolu, lolotonga ʻoku tau kei angahala.” Naʻe toe tohi ʻe Paula: “Ko ia hange naʻe fou mai ha meʻa mei ha foʻi faihala, ʻa ia naʻe aʻu ki he kakai kotoa pe moʻo fakahalaia: pehe foki, naʻe fou mai ha meʻa mei ha foʻi faitotonu ʻa ia naʻe aʻu ki he kakai kotoa pe moʻo fakatonuhia ke nau moʻui.

Ko e tauʻatāina mei he tākiekina ʻa e lotu loí, ʻoku tau fiefia ai ʻi he fakamaama fakalaumālie ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻa ʻene mahino maʻalaʻala angé ʻa ia ʻoku tokonaki mai ʻe heʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní ʻo fakafou mai ʻi he “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto.” (Mātiu 24:45-47, PM) Ko e kātoa ʻo e kakai ʻoku moʻui ʻi he māmaní, ko e faʻahinga pē ʻoku nau anga-līʻoa maʻataʻatā kia Sihová ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní pea mo e tāpuaki ko hono makupusi fakaefakakaukau ʻa ʻene Folofolá mo hono finangaló. Ko e meʻa ia naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paulá: “Ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia [ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kuó ne teuteu maʻá e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻofa kiate iá] kuo fakaʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kimautolu ʻi hono Laumalie: he ko e Laumalie ʻoku ne hakule ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe, ʻio, ʻa e ngaahi loloto ʻo e ʻOtua.” (1 Kolinitō 2:9, 10) ʻOku lava ke tau fakatou houngaʻia mo fiefia ʻi heʻetau maʻu ʻa e mahino fakalakalaka naʻe fakahā ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻo e Palōvepi 4:18: “He ko e ʻalunga ʻo haʻa faitotonu ʻoku hange ko e maama hengihengi, ʻa e fakautuutu ʻene maama ʻo aʻu ki he hoʻatā malie.”

11. Kuo anga-fēfē ʻa hono fakahā atu ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e ʻamanaki fakafiefia fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻangá?
11 Ko ʻetau ʻamanaki ki he Puleʻangá ʻokú ne toe ʻai kitautolu ke tau fiefia. (Mātiu 6:9, 10) ʻI hotau tuʻunga ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová, kuo fuoloa ʻa ʻetau fanongonongo ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ko e ʻamanaki pē ia ʻe taha maʻá e faʻahinga kotoa ʻo e tangatá. Hangē ko ʻení, fakakaukau atu ki he taʻu 1931, ʻi heʻetau ohi mai ai ʻa e hingoa ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻi ha fakapapau naʻe tali fiefia ʻi he ngaahi fakataha lalahi ʻe 51 naʻe fai takai ʻi he māmaní.

Naʻe kau ki ai mo ha toe fakapapau ʻe taha naʻe ohi mai ʻi he fakataha lahi ko iá, ʻa e fakapapau naʻe fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané ʻi heʻene tafoki mei he moʻoní pea mo ʻene paetaku ʻa e akonaki ʻa Sihová. Naʻe toe fanongonongo ai: “Ko e ʻamanaki fekauʻaki mo e māmaní ko e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha toe ʻamanaki kehe.” ʻI loto ʻi ha ngaahi māhina siʻi, naʻe tufaki ai ʻe he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻo lahi hake ʻi he tatau ʻe nima miliona ʻo e kiʻi tohí ni ʻi he ngaahi tapa kotoa pē ʻo e māmaní. Talu mei ai kuo tau faʻa fakapapauʻi atu ko e Puleʻangá ko e ʻamanaki pē ia ʻe taha ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.
