“Ko kinautolu ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻa e tengá mo e loʻimatá te nau utu naʻa mo ha kalanga fiefia.”—SĀME 126:5, NW.
1. Ko e hā ke “kole [ai] ki he ʻEiki ʻo e utu-taʻú ke ne fekau mai ha kau ngāue” he ʻaho ní?
ʻI HE hili ʻa e fononga ngāue fakamalanga hono tolu ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ki Kālelí, naʻá ne tala ki heʻene kau ākongá: “Ko e utu-taʻú ʻoku lahi, ka ko e kau ngāué ʻoku tokosiʻi.” (Mātiu 9:37, NW) Naʻe tatau pē mo e tuʻunga naʻe ʻi Siuteá. (Luke 10:2) Koeʻuhi naʻe hoko moʻoni ia ʻi he meimei taʻu ʻe 2,000 kuo maliu atú, ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻi he ʻaho ní?

2. Ko e hā ʻokú ne ʻomai kitautolu ki he tokanga ʻa e kakaí?
2 Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtuá, ʻa e ʻEiki ʻo e utu-taʻú, kuó ne tali ʻa e kole ke fekau mai ha kau ngāue tokolahi angé. Pea ko ha fiefia lahi ē ke kau ʻi he ngāue utu-taʻu ko ʻeni ʻoku tataki ʻe he ʻOtuá! Neongo ʻoku tau tokosiʻi ʻi he fiká ʻi hono fakahoa atu ki he ngaahi puleʻangá, ko ʻetau kau faivelenga ʻi he ngāue fakamalanga ʻo e Puleʻangá mo e ngaohi-ākongá ʻokú ne ʻomai ai kitautolu ki he tokanga ʻa e māmaní. ʻI he ngaahi fonua lahi ʻoku toutou lave ai kiate kitautolu ʻi he mītiá. Ko e tatangi ʻa ha fafangu ʻi he matapaá ʻi ha faiva ʻi he televīsoné ʻokú ne ʻomai nai ʻa e fakamatala ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻoku nau ʻaʻahi mai. ʻIo, ko ʻetau ngāue faka-Kalisitiane ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau ngāue utu-taʻu fakaefakatātaá ʻoku ʻiloa ia ʻi he senituli hono 21.
3. (a) ʻOku tau ʻilo fēfē naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngāue fakamalanga ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku lava ai ke tau pehē ʻoku poupouʻi ʻe he kau ʻāngeló ʻa ʻetau ngāue fakafaifekaú?
3 Naʻe fakatokangaʻi foki ʻe he māmaní ʻa e ngaahi ngāue fakamalanga ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí pea naʻe fakatangaʻi ai ʻa e kau fanongonongo ʻo e ongoongo leleí. Ko ia ai, naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Oku ou ilo eau kuo tuku e he Otua akimautolu ae kau abosetolo ki mui, o hage koe tuku bau ki he mate, he kuo gaohi akimautolu [ʻa e kau ʻapositoló] koe jiofiaaga o mamani, moe kau agelo, moe kakai.” (1 Kolinito 4:9, PM) ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ko ʻetau kītaki ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau fanongonongo ʻo e Puleʻangá neongo ʻa e fakatangá ʻokú ne ʻomai ai kitautolu ki he tokanga ʻa e māmaní pea ʻoku mahuʻinga ia ki he kau ʻāngeló. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Fakahā 14:6 (PM): “Neu [ko e ʻapositolo ko Sioné]mamata ki ha agelo kehe e taha oku buna i he loto lagi, kuo iate ia ae ogoogolelei taegata ke malaga aki kiate kinautolu oku nofo i he mamani, bea ki he buleaga kotoabe, moe faahiga, moe lea, moe kakai.” ʻIo, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e poupou fakaeʻāngelo ʻi heʻetau ngāue fakafaifekaú—ʻa ʻetau ngāue utu-taʻú!—Hepelu 1:13, 14.
“Fehiʻanekina”
4, 5. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e fakatokanga naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku “fehiʻanekina” ai ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he lolotonga ní?
4 ʻI hono fekau atu ʻa e kau ʻapositolo ʻa Sīsuú ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau ngāue utu-taʻú, naʻa nau tokanga ki heʻene fakahinohino ke nau “fakapotopoto ʻo hangē ko ha ngata, pea vale ʻi he kovi ʻo hangē ko ha lupe.” Naʻe tānaki atu ʻe Sīsū: “Ka mou lamalama telia ʻa e kakai: he te nau fakaʻilo kimoutolu ki he ngāhi fakamāuʻanga, pea te nau haha kimoutolu ʻi honau ngāhi falelotu: ʻio, ʻe ʻave kimoutolu ki he ngāhi kovana, mo e ngāhi tuʻi, koeʻuhi ko au, ke ai ha fakamatala kiate kinautolu Siu pea mo e kau Senitaile. . . . Pea te mou hoko ko e fehiʻanekina ʻe he kakai kotoa pe koeʻuhi ko hoku hingoa: ka ko ia te ne kitaki ʻo aʻu ki he ikuʻanga, ko e toko taha ko ia ʻe moʻui.”—Mātiu 10:16-22.
5 ʻOku “fehiʻanekina” kitautolu ʻi he ʻaho ní koeʻuhi “ko hono kotoa ʻo mamani ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻo e Fili,” ko Sētane ko e Tēvoló, ʻa ia ko e fili lahi ia ʻo e ʻOtuá pea mo Hono kakaí. (1 Sione 5:19) ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe hotau ngaahi filí ʻetau lakalakaimonū fakalaumālié ka ʻoku nau fakafisi ke taku ia kia Sihova. ʻOku sio mai ʻa e kau fakafepakí ki hotau ngaahi fofonga fiefia mo malimalí, ʻi heʻetau kau fiefia ʻi he ngāue utu-taʻú. ʻOku nau ofo ʻi heʻetau fāʻūtahá! Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku nau fakamoʻoniʻi loto-ʻingoʻingo nai ia ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau folau ai ki ha toe fonua ʻe taha pea nau sio ai ki he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova aí ʻoku nau fai ʻa e ngāue tatau tofu pē ko ia naʻa nau sio ai ʻi honau fonua totonú. Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tau ʻilo, ʻi ha taimi kuo kotofa, ʻe ʻai ai ʻa Sihova, ko hotau tokotaha-poupou pea ko e matavai ʻo ʻetau fāʻūtahá, ke ʻiloa ʻo aʻu ki hotau ngaahi filí.—Isikeli 38:10-12, 23.
6. Ko e hā ʻa e fakapapau ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi heʻetau kau ʻi he ngāue utu-taʻú, ka ko e hā ʻa e foʻi fehuʻi ʻoku malanga haké?
6 Kuo ʻoange ʻe he ʻEiki ʻo e utu-taʻú ki hono ʻAló, kia Sīsū Kalaisi, “ʻa e pule kotoa pe ʻi langi pea ki mamani.” (Mātiu 28:18) ʻOku ngāueʻaki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa Sīsū ke ne tataki ʻa e ngāue utu-taʻú fakafou ʻi he kau ʻāngelo fakahēvaní pea mo e “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto” pani ʻi heni ʻi he māmaní. (Mātiu 24:45, PM; Fakahā 14:6, 7) Ka ʻoku malava fēfē ke tau fekuki mo e fakafepaki ʻa e filí pea kei tauhi maʻu ai pē ʻetau fiefiá ʻi heʻetau kītaki ʻi he ngāue utu-taʻú?
7. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻulungaanga ʻoku totonu ke tau feinga ke tauhi maʻu ʻi he taimi ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e fakafepakí mo e fakatangá?
7 ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau fehangahangai ai mo e fakafepakí pe naʻa mo e fakatanga fakahangatonú, tau kumi ki he tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ke tau malava ai ke tauhi maʻu ha ʻulungaanga hangē ko ia naʻe ʻia Paulá. Naʻá ne tohi: “Ka ngaohia kimautolu ʻoku mau taliʻaki ha tapuaki; ka fakatangaʻi, ʻoku mau ʻukuma pe; ka lauʻikovia ʻoku mau tali fakaoleole.” (1 Kolinito 4:12, 13) Ko e laumālie ko ʻení, fakataha mo ʻetau ngāue fakafaifekau pōtoʻí, ʻoku nau liliu ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa hotau kau fakafepakí.
8. Ko e hā ʻa e fakapapau ʻokú ke maʻu mei he ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he Mātiu 10:28?
8 Naʻa mo e fakamanamana ʻo e maté ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakavaivaiʻi ʻe ia ʻetau faivelenga ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau ngāue utu-taʻú. ʻOku tau fanongonongo taʻemanavahē ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻi he lahi taha ʻe malavá. Pea ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e fakapapau fakalototoʻa mei he ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú: “ʻOua te mou momoʻi manavahe kiate kinautolu ʻoku tamateʻi ʻa e sino pe, ka ko e laumalie ʻoku ʻikai te nau lava ke tamateʻi: ka ke mou manavahe tuʻu kiate ia ʻoku mafai ke fakaʻauha ʻi Heli [“Kīhena,” NW] ʻa e laumalie mo e sino fakatouʻosi.” (Mātiu 10:28) ʻOku tau ʻiloʻi ko ʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní ko e Tokotaha-Foaki ia ʻo e moʻuí. ʻOkú ne fakapaleʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau tauhi maʻu ʻa e anga-tonu kiate iá pea kītaki loto-tōnunga ʻi he ngāue utu-taʻú.

(Isikeli 2:3) “Seuke,” ko e folofola ia ʻa Sihová, “ʻoku ke ha kiate kinautolu ko e taha hiva malie, leʻo haohaoa, pea ta lelei.” (Isikeli 33:32) Neongo naʻa nau saiʻia ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa ʻIsikelí, naʻe ʻikai malava ke nau ngāue ʻo fakatatau ki ai. Ko e hā ʻoku hoko ʻi he ʻaho ní? ʻI hono talaki loto-toʻa atu ʻe he toenga ʻo e kau paní mo honau ngaahi takangá ʻa e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻa Sihová, ʻoku fiefanongo ʻa e niʻihi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻa e Puleʻangá, ka ʻoku ʻikai te nau tali loto-houngaʻia, ʻo hoko ko e kau ākonga, pea kau ʻi he ngāue utu-taʻú.

Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ha holongā ʻo e ngaahi fakataha-lahi faka-Kalisitiane mei he 1922 ki he 1928, naʻe fanongonongo maʻalaʻala ai ʻa e ngaahi pōpoaki fakamaau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu fulikivanu ʻa Sētané.

(Sione 4:39) ʻI he ngaahi taʻu ki mui ní, kuo hanga ai ʻe he ngaahi fonua kehekehe ʻo toʻo ʻa e ngaahi fakangatangata ʻi he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová pe kuo nau ʻoange kiate kinautolu ʻa e fakaʻatā fakalao, ʻo fakaava ai ha ngaahi malaʻe foʻou ki he utu-taʻú.
