1. Ko e hā ʻa e tokonaki anga-ʻofa naʻe ʻai ʻe he ʻOtuá maʻá e faʻahinga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá?
ʻI HE ʻofa lahi ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, naʻá ne tokonaki mai ai ha feilaulau ke ne toʻo atu ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa e māmaní. (Sione 1:29; 3:16) Naʻe fiemaʻu ai ke hiki hifo ʻa e moʻui ʻa hono ʻAlo ʻuluaki-fakatupú mei hēvani ki he manava ʻo e tāupoʻou Siu ko hono hingoá ko Mele. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi māʻalaʻala ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová kia Mele ʻo pehē ko e tama te ne tuʻituʻia aí ʻe hoko ko e ‘hako tapu, ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtua.’ (Luke 1:34, 35) Ko Siosefa, ʻa ia naʻe fakamaʻu mo Melé, naʻe tala ki ai ʻo fekauʻaki mo e natula fakaemana ʻo hono tuʻituʻiaʻi ʻo Sīsuú peá ne ʻiloʻi ko e tokotahá ni te ne “fakamoʻui hono kakai mei heʻenau ngāhi angahala.”—Mātiu 1:20, 21.

Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻi ai ha ngāue fakahaofi moʻui ʻa ʻene Tamai fakahēvaní kiate ia ke ne fai ʻi māmani. Ko ia, ʻi heʻene hoko ko ha tangata lahi ʻo taʻu 30 nai hono motuʻá, naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Sīsū ki he palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá ko Sioné ke papitaiso ʻi he Vaitafe Sioataní.—Maʻake 1:9; Luke 3:23.
3. (a) Ko e hā naʻe ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa Sīsū ʻi he ngaahi leá ni, “Feilaulau moe mea foaki nae ikai te ke finagalo ki ai”? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga tuʻu-ki-muʻa naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sīsū maʻá e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau fie hoko ko ʻene kau ākongá?
3 Naʻe lotu ʻa Sīsū ʻi he taimi ʻo hono papitaisó. (Luke 3:21) ʻOku hā mahino, talu mei he taimi ko iá ʻi heʻene moʻuí, naʻá ne ngāueʻaki kiate ia ʻa e Sāme 40:6-8, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe lave ki ai ki mui ʻa e ʻaposetolo ko Paulá: “Koe feilaulau moe mea foaki nae ikai te ke finagalo ki ai, ka kuo ke teuteu ae jino mooku.” (Hepelū 10:5, PM) Naʻe fakahāhaaʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene lāuʻilo ko e ʻOtuá “nae ikai te [ne] finagalo” ke kei hoko atu ʻa e feilaulau monumanu naʻe fai ʻi he temipale ʻi Selusalemá. Ka, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe teuteu ʻe he ʻOtuá ha sino fakaetangata haohaoa kiate ia, ke foaki ia ko ha feilaulau. ʻE toʻo atu ʻe he meʻá ni ha toe faʻahinga fiemaʻu pē ʻo e ngaahi feilaulau monumanú. ʻI hono fakahāhā ʻa ʻene holi ʻo ongoʻi mei he lotó ke moʻulaloa ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá, naʻe hokohoko atu ʻe Sīsū ʻene lotú: “Ko eni kuo u haʻu (ʻi he takainga tohi kuo tohi kia au) ke fai hoʻo tuʻutuʻuni, ʻe ʻOtua.” (Hepelū 10:7) Ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga fisifisimuʻa lahi ē ʻo e loto-toʻá mo e anga-līʻoa taʻesiokitá naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sīsū ʻi he ʻaho ko iá maʻá e faʻahinga kotoa te nau hoko ʻamui ko ʻene kau ākongá!—Maʻake 8:34.
4. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻene hōifua ki hono foaki atu ʻe Sīsū ʻa ia tonú?
4 Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻene hōifua ki he lotu fakaepapitaiso ʻa Sīsuú? Tuku ange ki he taha ʻo e kau ʻaposetolo fili ʻa Sīsuú ke ne ʻomai kiate kitautolu ʻa e talí: “Pea kuo papitaiso ʻa Sisu, naʻa ne ʻalu hake leva mei he vai; pea vakai, naʻe matangaki ʻa e langi kiate ia, pea ne mamata ki he Laumalie ʻo e ʻOtua ʻoku ʻalu hifo ʻi he tatau ʻo ha lupe, ʻo ne aʻu kiate ia. Pea ʻiloange, naʻe ai ha leʻo mei he langi naʻe pehe mai, Ko Hoku ʻAlo Pele ʻena, ʻa ia kuo u hōifua ai.”—Mātiu 3:16, 17; Luke 3:21, 22.
5. Ko e hā naʻe fakatātaaʻi ʻe he ʻōlita ʻo e temipale fakamatelié?
5 Ko hono tali ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa hono foaki ʻo e sino ʻo Sīsuú ki he feilaulaú, naʻe ʻuhinga ia ʻi he ʻuhinga fakalaumālié ki ha ʻōlita lahi ange ia ʻi he ʻōlita naʻe ʻi he temipale ʻi Selusalemá naʻe hoko ʻo ʻiloa. Ko e ʻōlita fakamatelie ko ia naʻe tuku ki ai ʻa e fanga manú ki he feilaulaú naʻá ne tomuʻa fakatātaaʻi ʻa e ʻōlita fakalaumālie ko iá, ʻa ia ko hono moʻoní ko e “finagalo” pe ko e fokotuʻutuʻu ia ʻa e ʻOtuá ki hono tali ʻa e moʻui fakaetangata ʻa Sīsuú ko ha feilaulau. (Hepelū 10:10) Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻe malava ai ʻe he ʻaposetolo ko Paulá ke tohi ki hono kaungā-Kalisitiané: “ʻA, ʻoku ʻi ai hatau olita, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke kai mei ai ʻe kinautolu ʻoku tauhi ki he tapanekale [pe temipalé].” (Hepelū 13:10) ʻI hono toe fakalea ʻe tahá, ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kau Kalisitiane moʻoní ʻa e ʻaonga mei ha feilaulau fakalelei-angahala lelei ange, ʻa ē naʻe fakataleʻi ʻe he tokolahi taha ʻo e kau taulaʻeiki Siú.
6. (a) Ko e hā naʻe hoko ʻo ʻiloa ʻi he taimi ʻo e papitaiso ʻo Sīsuú? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e hingoa fakalakanga ko e Mīsaiá, pe Kalaisí?

(Ngāue 10:38; Hepelū 5:5) Naʻe fakamānavaʻi ʻa e ākonga ko Luké ke ne tuhuʻi pau ʻa e taʻu ʻo e meʻa mahuʻinga ko ʻení ʻa ia naʻe hoko “ʻi hono hongofulu mā nima taʻu ʻo e pule ʻa Taipilio ko e Sisa.” (Luke 3:1-3) ʻOku feʻunga tonu ia mo e taʻu 29 T.S.—ko e ngaahi uike ʻe 69 tonu matematē ʻo e ngaahi taʻu, pe taʻu ʻe 483, mei he taimi ko ia naʻe ʻoatu ai ʻe Tuʻi ʻAtasease ʻa e fekau ke toe langa ʻa e ngaahi ʻā ʻo Selusalemá. (Nehemaia 2:1, 5-8) Fakatatau ki he kikité, ʻe hā ʻa e “Misaia ko e ʻEiki” ʻi he taʻu ko ia naʻe ʻosi fakaʻilongaʻí. (Tāniela 9:25) ʻOku hā māhino naʻe tokolahi ʻa e kau Siu naʻa nau lāuʻilo ki he meʻá ni. ʻOku fakamatala ʻa Luke ʻo pehē, naʻe “lolotoga ae amanaki ae kakai” ʻo fekauʻaki mo e hā mai ʻa e Mīsaiá, pe Kalaisí, ko e ongo hingoa fakalakanga ʻoku haʻu mei he ongo foʻi lea faka-Hepelū mo e faka-Kalisi ʻoku ʻuhinga tatau, ko e “tokotaha pani.”—Luke 3:15, PM.

(Tāniela 9:24) Naʻe hoko ʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa e “fale fehikitaki mooni [pe temipale], aia nae fokotuu e he Otua, kae ikai koe tagata.” (Hepelū 8:2, PM) Pehē foki, fakafou ʻi hono papitaiso ia ʻaki ʻa e vaí mo e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, naʻe fanauʻi foʻou ai ʻa e tangata ko Sīsū Kalaisí ʻo hoko ko ha ʻAlo laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Fakafehoanaki mo Sione 3:3.) Naʻe ʻuhinga ʻení ʻe toe ui ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi ha taimi tuku pau ʻa hono ʻAló ki he moʻui fakahēvaní, ʻa ia te ne ngāue ai ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo e Tamaí ʻi he tuʻunga ko e Tuʻi mo e Taulaʻeiki Lahi “ʻi he ʻalunga ʻo Melikiseteki, ʻo laui itaniti.”—Hepelū 6:20; Sāme 110:1, 4.

Ko e ʻiloʻi ko ia ʻo ha feilaulau fakaetangata haohaoa ke fakaleleiʻi ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa e māmaní, naʻá ne fakamamafaʻi ʻa e māʻoniʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hono kehe ʻaupito mei he angahalaʻia ʻa e tangatá. Naʻe toe fakaeʻa ʻa e meesi ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene fakahāhā ʻi he taimi ko ʻení ʻa ʻene loto-lelei ke fakalolou hifo, pe fiemālie. Naʻe hoko ai ʻa e taloni ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi hēvaní ʻo hangē ko e loki ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e temipalé, ʻa ē naʻe hū tuʻo taha ki ai ʻa e taulaʻeiki lahí ʻi he taʻu mo e toto ʻo e manu ke fakaleleiʻi ʻaki ʻa e angahalá ʻi ha founga fakaefakatātā.

9 Ko e puipui naʻá ne vaheʻi ʻa e Potu Tapú mei he Potu Toputapú naʻá ne fakatātaaʻi ʻe ia ʻa e sino fakakakano ʻo Sīsuú. (Hepelū 10:19, 20) Naʻe hoko ia ko e ʻā taʻofi ke ne maluʻi ʻa Sīsū mei haʻane hū ki he ʻafioʻanga ʻo e Tamaí he lolotonga ʻo ʻene kei hoko ko ha tangata ʻi he māmaní. (1 Kolinitō 15:50) ʻI he taimi ʻo e pekia ʻa Sīsuú, “ko e tatau ʻo e Fale Tapu naʻe mahaeua mei ʻolunga ki lalo.” (Mātiu 27:51) Naʻe fakahaaʻi fakaofo ʻe he meʻá ni ko e ʻā taʻofi ko ia naʻá ne taʻofi ʻa e hū ʻa Sīsū ki hēvaní ne toʻo atu ia ʻi he taimi ko ʻení. ʻI he ʻaho ʻe tolu mei ai, naʻe fakahoko ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ha mana tuʻu-ki-muʻa. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu hake ʻa Sīsū mei he pekiá, ʻo ʻikai ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha tangata matengofua ʻoku kakano mo e toto, ka ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha meʻamoʻui laumālie nāunauʻia ʻoku “tolonga ʻo taʻengata.” (Hepelū 7:24) Hili ʻa e ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mei ai, naʻe hāʻele hake ʻa Sīsū ki hēvani pea hū ki he “Potu Toputapu” moʻoní, “ke fakaha ni ia ki he fofonga ʻo e ʻOtua maʻatautolu.”—Hepelū 9:24.

10 Naʻe tali ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e taʻataʻa ʻo Sīsū naʻe lilingi ko e fakaleleiʻanga ʻo e ngaahi angahala ʻa e māmaní? Ko e moʻoni naʻá ne fai pehē. Ko e fakamoʻoni ʻo e meʻá ni naʻe hoko tonu pē ia ʻi he hili ʻa e ʻaho ʻe 50 mei he toetuʻu ʻa Sīsuú, ʻi he ʻaho kātoanga ʻo e Penitekosí. Naʻe huaʻi hifo ai ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá ki he kau ākonga ʻe toko 120 ʻa Sīsū naʻe fakatahataha ʻi Selusalemá. (Ngāue 2:1, 4, 33) Hangē pē ko honau Taulaʻeiki Lahí, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, naʻe pani kinautolu ʻi he taimi ko ʻení ke nau hoko “ko e tuʻunga taulaʻeiki tapu, ke ʻatu feilaulau fakalaumālie” ʻi he malumalu ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu fakatemipale lahi fakalaumālie ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Naʻe pau ke fai ʻa e meʻá ni ki muʻa peá ne ʻomai ʻa e toto ʻo e ngaahi feilaulau angahalá. ʻI hono fakahoko ʻo e fakatātā fakaekikité ni, naʻe tauhi ʻe he tangata ko Sīsuú ʻa e mateaki-angatonu fakaʻaufuli kia Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ki muʻa peá ne foaki ʻa ʻene moʻuí ko e feilaulau tuʻuloa ia maʻá e angahala ʻa kitautolú. Naʻá ne fakahāhaaʻi ai naʻe malava ki ha tangata haohaoa ke ne tauhi ʻa ʻene mateaki-angatonu ki he ʻOtuá ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ha fakamafasia naʻe ʻomai kiate ia ʻe Sētane. (Palōvepi 27:11) ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi aí, naʻe ngāueʻaongaʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻa e lotú “ʻaki ʻa e fuʻu kalanga, mo e tangi loʻimata: pea naʻe tali ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene fai fakaongoongo.” (Hepelū 5:7) ʻI he foungá ni naʻá ne fakalāngilangiʻi ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he tuʻunga ko e Tokotaha-Hau māʻoniʻoni mo totonu ʻo e ʻuniveesí. Naʻe fakapaleʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Sīsū ʻaki hono fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekiá ki he moʻui fakahēvani taʻefaʻamate. ʻI he tuʻunga māʻolunga ko ʻení, ʻoku tokanga ai ʻa Sīsū ki he ʻuhinga hono ua ʻo ʻene haʻu ki he māmaní, ʻa ia, ko hono fai ha fakalelei mo e ʻOtuá ʻa e kau angahala kuo fakatomala ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.—Hepelū 4:14-16.
Ko e Lāngilangi Lahi Ange ʻo e Temipale Fakalaumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá
18. Kuo anga-fēfē hono ʻomai ʻe Sihova ʻa e lāngilangi tuʻu-ki-muʻa ki hono temipale fakalaumālié?
18 Naʻe tala ki muʻa ʻe Sihova: “ʻE hulu ʻa e langilangi ʻo e fale ko eni ki mui ʻi he ʻuluaki.” (Hākeai 2:9) ʻI hono fokotuʻu hake ʻa Sīsū ʻo hoko ko ha Tuʻi mo Taulaʻeiki Lahi taʻefaʻamaté, naʻe ʻomai ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e lāngilangi tuʻu-ki-muʻa ki hono temipale fakalaumālié. ʻOku ʻi he tuʻunga leva ʻa Sīsū ke ne ʻomai ʻa e ‘fakamoʻui ʻoku laui itaniti maʻanautolu ʻoku talangofua kiate iá.’ (Hepelū 5:9) Ko e ʻuluaki faʻahinga ke nau fakahāhā ʻa e talangofua peheé ko e kau ākonga ʻe toko 120 ko ia naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻi he Penitekosi ʻi he 33 T.S. Naʻe tala ki muʻa ʻi he tohi ʻa Fakahaá ʻo pehē ko e ngaahi foha fakalaumālie ko ʻeni ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻe aʻu ki he toko 144,000. (Fakahā 7:4) ʻI he maté, ko e tokolahi ʻo kinautolu naʻe pau ke nau tākoto ʻo ʻikai toe ʻilo ha meʻa ʻi he faʻitoka anga-maheni ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ʻo fakatatali ai ki he taimi ʻo e ʻi ai ʻa Sīsū ʻi he mafai fakatuʻí. Ko e hokohoko fakaekikite ʻoku ʻi he Tāniela 4:10-17, 20-27 ʻoku tuhu ki he 1914 ko e taimi ia kia Sīsū ke kamata pule ai ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono ngaahi filí. (Sāme 110:2) ʻI he ngaahi hongofuluʻi taʻu ki muʻa aí, naʻe tatali loto-vēkeveke ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní ki he taʻu ko iá. Ko e ʻuluaki tau ʻa e māmaní fakataha mo e ngaahi mamahi naʻe hoko ai ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá naʻa nau ʻomai ʻa e fakamoʻoni ko e moʻoni naʻe fakanofo ʻa Sīsū ko e Tuʻi ʻi he 1914. (Mātiu 24:3, 7, 8) Taimi siʻi mei ai, naʻe aʻu mai ai ʻa e taimi ke “kamata ʻa e fakamāu mei he ʻapi ʻo e ʻOtua,” ʻe fakahoko ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e talaʻofa ki heʻene kau ākonga pani naʻa nau mohe ʻi he maté: “ʻOku ou toe haʻu pe, pea te u maʻu kimoutolu kiate au.”—1 Pita 4:17; Sione 14:3.
19. ʻE anga-fēfē hono maʻu ʻe he toenga ʻo e toko 144,000 ʻa e hūʻanga ki he Potu Toputapu fakahēvaní?
19 Ko e kau mēmipa ʻe toko 144,000 ʻo e tuʻunga-taulaʻeiki toputapú kuo teʻeki ai ke silaʻi fakaʻosi kinautolu kotoa mo fakatahatahaʻi ki honau ʻapi fakahēvaní. Ko ha toenga ʻo kinautolu ʻoku kei moʻui ʻi he māmaní ʻi he tuʻunga fakalaumālie naʻe fakatātaaʻi ʻe he Potu Tapú, ʻo fakamavaheʻi mei he ʻafioʻanga toputapu ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻe he “puipui,” pe ʻā taʻofi, ko honau ngaahi sino fakakakanó. ʻI he mate anga-tonu ʻa e faʻahingá ni, ʻoku tuai e kemo kuo nau toetuʻu hake ko e ngaahi meʻamoʻui laumālie taʻefaʻamate ʻo feohi mo e faʻahinga ʻo e toko 144,000 kuo nau ʻosi ʻi hēvaní.—1 Kolinitō 15:51-53.
20. Ko e hā ʻa e ngāue mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻoku lolotonga fakahoko ʻe he toenga ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tuʻunga-taulaʻeiki toputapú ʻi he taimi ní, pea ko e hā hono olá?
20 ʻI he tokolahi fau ʻa e kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku ngāue fakataha mo e Taulaʻeiki Lahi ʻi hēvaní, kuo maʻu ai ʻe he temipale fakalaumālié ʻa e lāngilangi lahi ange. Lolotonga iá, ʻoku fakahoko ʻe he toenga ʻo e tuʻunga-taulaʻeiki toputapú ha ngāue mahuʻinga ʻi he māmaní. Fakafou ʻi heʻenau ngāue fakamalangá, ʻoku hanga ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo “luluʻi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa” ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fakahā ʻo ʻene fakamāú, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe tala ki muʻa ʻi he Hākeai 2:7. ʻI he taimi tatau pē, ʻoku laui miliona ʻa e kau lotu ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻo pehē “koe holi ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pe” ʻoku nau ʻaukolo mai ki he ngaahi lotoʻā fakaemāmani ʻo e temipale ʻo Sihová. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e feʻungamālie ʻa e faʻahingá ni ki he fokotuʻutuʻu ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he lotú, pea ko e hā ʻa e lāngilangi ʻi he kahaʻú ʻoku malava ke tau ʻamanaki atu ki ai ki heʻene temipale lahi fakalaumālié?
