1, 2. Ko e hā ʻa e ongo konga Tohi Tapu ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ko Sihova mo Sīsuú ko e ongo Tauhi-Sipi ʻofa kinaua?
KO Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mo hono ʻAló, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ko e ongo Tauhi-Sipi ʻofa kinaua. Naʻe kikite ʻa ʻAisea: “Vakai, e haele mai ae Eiki ko Jihova i he malohi, bea e bule hono nima moona: . . . Te ne fafaga ene faga sibi o hage koe tauhi: te ne tanaki ae faga lami aki hono nima, bea fua akinautolu i hono fatafata, bea tataki fakafiemalie akinautolu oku feitama.”—Aisea 40:10, 11, PM.

(Fakahā 18:2, PM; Aisea 44:28) Ko ia ʻa e “nima” ʻo Sihova ki he pulé, ʻo ne tānaki fakataha ʻa e fanga sipí pea tauhi kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e tokanga fakaalaala. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū tonu: “Ko aú, ko e tauhi sipi lelei. ʻOku ou maheni au mo ʻeku fanga sipí. Pea ʻoku maheni ʻeku fanga sipí mo au.”—Sione 10:14, Kōsipeli ʻe Fā.
3. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Sihova ʻa e tokanga ʻofa ki he meʻa ʻoku fai ki heʻene fanga sipí?
3 Ko e kikite ʻi he Aisea 40:10, 11 (PM) ʻoku fakamamafaʻi ai ʻa e fakaalaala ʻa ia ʻoku tauhi ʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakaí. (Sāme 23:1-6) Lolotonga ʻene ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi he māmaní, naʻe fakahaaʻi foki ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tokanga fakaalaala ki heʻene kau ākongá pea ki he kakaí fakalūkufua. (Mātiu 11:28-30; Maake 6:34) Ko Sihova mo Sīsū fakatouʻosi naʻá na fakameʻapangoʻia ʻi he taʻefaimeesi ʻa e kau tauhi-sipi, pe kau taki ʻo ʻIsilelí, ʻa ia naʻa nau liʻaki pea ngāueʻaki ʻi he tuʻunga taʻemā ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tākangá. (Isikeli 34:2-10; Mātiu 23:3, 4, 15) Naʻe talaʻofa ʻe Sihova: “Te u tokoni ki heʻeku fanga sipi, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau toe hoko ko e meʻa ke vetea; pea te u fakatonutonu ʻa e vahaʻa ʻo e sipi mo e sipi. Pea te u fokotuʻu ke pule kiate kinautolu ha tahaʻi tauhi, ʻa ia te ne fafanga kinautolu; ʻio, ʻa ʻeku sevaniti ko Tevita; ko e toko taha ko ia te ne fafanga kinautolu, ʻio, ʻe nofo ia ko honau tauhi.” (Isikeli 34:22, 23) ʻI he taimi ko eni ʻo e ngataʻangá, ko Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻa Tēvita Lahi Ange, ʻa e “tahaʻi tauhi” ʻa ia kuo fakanofo ʻe Sihova ke pule ki he kotoa ʻo ʻEne kau sevāniti ʻi he māmaní, fakatouʻosi ʻa e kau Kalisitiane pani ʻe he laumālié mo e “fanga sipi kehe.”—Sione 10:16.
Ngaahi Meʻaʻofa Fakahēvani ki he Fakatahaʻangá

4 ʻI hono fakanofo ʻa e “tahaʻi tauhi”—ko Sīsū Kalaisí—ke pule ki Heʻene kau sevāniti ʻi māmaní, naʻe foaki ai ʻe Sihova ha meʻaʻofa mahuʻinga ki he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané. Ko e meʻaʻofa ko eni ʻo ha Takimuʻa fakahēvaní naʻe kikiteʻi ia ʻi he Aisea 55:4 (PM): “Vakai, kuou foaki ia koe fakamooni ki he kakai, koe takimua moe bule ki he kakai.” ʻOku fakatahatahaʻi fakatouʻosi mai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní mo e kau mēmipa ʻo e “fuʻu kakai lahi” mei he ngaahi puleʻanga, ngaahi matakali, ngaahi faʻahinga mo e ngaahi lea kotoa pē. (Fakahā 5:9, 10; 7:9) ʻOku faʻuʻaki kinautolu ha fakatahaʻanga fakavahaʻapuleʻanga, ko e “takanga pe taha,” ʻi he malumalu ʻo e taki ʻa e “tahaʻi tauhi,” ʻa Kalaisi Sīsū.
5 Ko Sīsū ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, kuó ne foaki ha meʻaʻofa mahuʻinga ki heʻene fakatahaʻanga ʻi māmaní. Kuó ne tokonaki mai ʻa e kau tauhi-sipi tokoni faitōnunga, ʻa ia ʻi heʻenau faʻifaʻitaki kia Sihova mo Sīsuú, ʻoku nau tauhi ʻa e tākangá ʻaki ʻa e tokanga fakaalaala. Naʻe lave ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he meʻaʻofa anga-ʻofa ko ení ʻi heʻene tohi ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻi ʻEfesoó. Naʻá ne tohi: “Ne ne haʻele ki ʻolunga, ne ne taki popula ha koto popula, pea ne foaki meʻaʻofa [ʻi he kau] tangata. Pea foaki pe ʻe ia ha niʻihi ʻoku aposetolo, ha niʻihi ʻoku palofita, ha niʻihi ʻoku evangelio, ha niʻihi ʻoku tauhi mo faiako: koeʻuhi ke ʻosi sāuni ʻa e kakai lotu [pe fakatonutonu ʻa e faʻahinga māʻoniʻoní] maʻa e ngaue tokoni, moʻo langa hake ʻa e sino ʻo Kalaisi.”—Efeso 4:8, 11, 12.

(Ngāue 20:28, 29) ʻI hono kamata mai ʻakí, ko e kau ʻovasia ko ení ko e kau tangata Kalisitiane pani kotoa kinautolu. ʻI he Fakahā 1:16, 20, ko e faʻahinga ko ia naʻe ngāue ʻi he kulupu ʻo e kau mātuʻá ʻi he fakatahaʻanga paní naʻe fakatātaaʻi ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi “fetuʻu” pe “kau angelo” ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Kalaisí, ʻa ia naʻa nau ʻi he malumalu ʻo ʻene pulé. Kae kehe, ʻi he taimi ko eni ʻo e ngataʻangá, ʻi he faai hifo ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e kau ʻovasia pani ʻoku nau kei ʻi māmaní, ko e fuʻu tokolahi ʻo e kau mātuʻa Kalisitiane ʻi he ngaahi fakatahaʻangá ʻoku nau mei he fanga sipi kehé. Koeʻuhi ko e faʻahingá ni ʻoku fakanofo ʻe he kau fakafofonga ʻo e Kulupu Pulé ʻi he malumalu ʻo e tataki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ko kinautolu foki ʻoku lava ke pehē ʻoku nau ʻi he malumalu ʻo e nima toʻomataʻu (pe ʻi he malumalu ʻo e tataki) ʻa e Tauhi-Sipi Leleí, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi. (Aisea 61:5, 6) Koeʻuhi ko e kau mātuʻa ʻi heʻetau ngaahi fakatahaʻangá ʻoku nau fakamoʻulaloa kia Kalaisi, ko e ʻUlu ʻo e fakatahaʻangá, ʻoku taau ke tau ngāue fāitaha fakaʻaufuli mo kinautolu.—Kolose 1:18.

7 Ko hotau ongo Tauhi-Sipi fakahēvaní, ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mo Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻokú na ʻamanekina mai ke tau talangofua mo fakamoʻulaloa ki he kau tauhi-sipi tokoni kuó na fokotuʻu ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga fua fatongia ʻi he fakatahaʻangá. (1 Pita 5:5) ʻI he malumalu ʻo hono fakamānavaʻí, naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Manatuʻi a ho mou kau fakahinohino, akinautolu nae lea aki ae folofola ae Otua kiate kimoutolu, bea faifaitaki ki he e nau tui, o fakatokaga ki he gataaga oe nau ulugaaga. Mou talagofua kiate kinautolu oku fakahinohino akimoutolu, bea mou fakavaivai [pe fakamoʻulaloa]: he oku nau leohi ho mou laumalie, he te nau fakamatala ki ai, bea koeuhi ke nau fai ia i he fiefia, kae oua naa i he mamahi: he oku taeaoga ia kiate kimoutolu.”—Hepelu 13:7, 17, PM.
8. Ko e hā ʻoku fakaafeʻi mai ʻe Paula ke tau “fakatokaga” ki aí, pea ʻoku totonu ke fēfē ʻetau “talagofua”?
8 Fakatokangaʻi ʻoku fakaafeʻi mai ʻe Paula ke tau “fakatokaga,” pe fakakaukau lelei ki he ola ʻo e ʻulungāanga faitōnunga ʻa e kau mātuʻá pea ke muimui ʻi he ngaahi faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ko ia ʻo ʻenau tuí. ʻIkai ko ia pē, ʻokú ne akonaki mai ke tau talangofua mo fakamoʻulaloa ki he tataki ʻa e kau tangata ko eni kuo fakanofó. Ko e mataotao Tohi Tapu ko R. T.

Te tau fiefia moʻoni kapau te tau tali loto-lelei ʻenau tatakí.
9. Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke tau “fakavaivai” pe fakamoʻulaloa ʻo tānaki atu ki he talangofuá?

Ko e ʻuluakí he kuo nau “lea aki ae folofola ae Otua” kia kitautolu. Manatuʻi ko e ngaahi “meʻaʻofa [ʻi he kau] tangata” ʻoku foaki kinautolu ʻe Sīsū ki he fakatahaʻangá ki hono fakatonutonu ʻa e faʻahinga māʻoniʻoní. (Efeso 4:11, 12) Naʻá ne fakatonutonu ʻa e fakakaukau mo e ʻulungāanga ʻo e kau Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí fakafou ʻi he kau tauhi-sipi tokoni faitōnungá, ko e niʻihi ʻo kinautolu naʻe fakamānavaʻi ke nau fai ʻa e ngaahi tohi ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻangá. Naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e kau ʻovasia ko ia kuo fakanofo ʻe he laumālié ke nau tataki mo langa hake ʻa e muʻaki kau Kalisitiané.—1 Kolinito 16:15-18; 2 Timote 2:2; Taitusi 1:5.

13 Ko ha ʻuhinga hono tolu ki heʻetau ngāue fāitaha loto-lelei mo e kau ʻovasiá ko ʻenau hanganaki leʻohi kitautolú “he te nau fakamatala ki ai.” ʻOku manatuʻi ʻe he kau ʻovasiá ko e kau tauhi-sipi tokoni kinautolu, ʻoku nau ngāue ʻi he malumalu ʻo e ongo Tauhi-Sipi fakahēvani, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mo Sīsū Kalaisi. (Isikeli 34:22-24) Ko Sihova ʻoku ʻAʻana ʻa e fanga sipí, ʻa ia “naʻá ne fakatau ʻaki ʻa e taʻataʻa ʻo hono ʻAló tonu,” pea ʻe fai kiate Ia ʻe he kau ʻovasia kuo fakanofó ʻa e fakamatala ki he anga ʻo ʻenau tōʻongafai ki Heʻene tākangá, ʻa ia ʻoku totonu ke fai ʻi he “fakaalaala.” (Ngāue 20:28, 29, NW) Ko ia ai, ko kitautolu kotoa te tau fai ha fakamatala kia Sihova ʻi he anga ʻo ʻetau tali ki heʻene tatakí.

14. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke taki atu ki he ngāue “i he mamahi” ʻa e kau ʻovasia Kalisitiané, pea ko e hā hono ngaahi olá?
14 Naʻe ʻomai ʻe Paula ha ʻuhinga hono fā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau fakamoʻulaloa fakatōkilalo ki he kau ʻovasia Kalisitiané. Naʻá ne tohi: “Ke nau fai ia i he fiefia, kae oua naa i he mamahi: he oku taeaoga ia kiate kimoutolu.” (Hepelu 13:17, PM) ʻI honau ngaahi fatongia mafatukituki ʻo e faiakó, tauhí, takimuʻa ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá, tauhi honau ngaahi fāmilí, pea mo hono fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi palopalema ʻi he fakatahaʻangá, ʻoku fua ai ʻe he kau mātuʻa Kalisitiané ha kavenga mamafa.
