“[Ko Sihova] ia te ne fakahaofi koe mei he tauhele ʻa e tokotaha pō-manupuná.”—SĀME 91:3, NW.
1. Ko hai ʻa e “tokotaha pō-manupuná,” pea ko e hā ʻokú ne fakatuʻutāmaki aí?

Talu mei he tatau ʻo Sune 1, 1883, mo hono hanga ʻe he makasini ko ení ʻo fakamahino ʻoku ʻikai ko ha toe taha kehe ka ko Sētane ko e Tēvoló. Ko e fuʻu fili mālohi ko ení ʻokú ne feinga anga-kākā ke takihalaʻi mo tauheleʻi ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová ʻo hangē ko e feinga ʻa ha tokotaha pō-manupuna ke tauheleʻi ha foʻi manupuná.
2. Ko e hā ʻoku fakatatau ai ʻa Sētane ki ha tokotaha pō-manupuná?
2 ʻI he kuonga muʻá, naʻe faʻa pō ʻa e manupuná koeʻuhi ko honau leʻo mālié, fulufulu lanu kehekehé, pehē ki he maʻu meʻatokoní pea ki he fai feilaulaú. Kae kehe, ko e manupuná ko e meʻamoʻui ia ʻoku fakanatula pē ʻenau ʻiloʻilo mo hehengingofuá, ʻo faingataʻa ai ke tauheleʻi kinautolu. Ko ia ai, ko ha tokotaha pō-manupuna ʻi he taimi ʻo e Tohi Tapú te ne ʻuluaki siofi fakalelei ʻa e māfihunga mo e tōʻonga ʻa e faʻahinga manupuna naʻá ne loto ke tauheleʻí. Naʻá ne faʻufaʻu leva ha ngaahi founga olopoto ke tauheleʻiʻaki kinautolu. ʻI hono fakatatau ʻa Sētane ki ha tokotaha pō-manupuná, ʻoku tokoni mai ai ʻa e Tohi Tapú ke tau mahinoʻi ʻene ngaahi foungá. ʻOku siofi fakafoʻituitui kitautolu ʻe he Tēvoló. ʻOkú ne fakatokangaʻi ʻetau ngaahi tōʻongá mo hotau angá pea fokotuʻu leva ha ngaahi tauhele fakapulipuli ʻi he feinga ke pō moʻui kitautolú. (2 Timote 2:26) Ko ʻene pō ha tahá ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ko e maumau fakalaumālie pea ʻe lava ke taki atu ia ki heʻetau mātuʻaki ʻauha. Ko ia ai, ke tau malú, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi faʻufaʻu kehekehe ʻa e “tokotaha pō-manupuná.”
3, 4. Ko fē ʻa e taimi ʻoku hangē ai ʻa e ngaahi founga ʻa Sētané ha laioné? ha ngatá?
3 ʻI hono ngāueʻaki ha fakatātā mahino, naʻe toe fakatatau ai ʻe he tokotaha-tohi-sāmé ʻa e ngaahi founga ʻa Sētané ki ha laione mui pe ko ha ngata. (Sāme 91:13) ʻI he hangē ha laioné, ʻoku fai ʻe Sētane ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ha ngaahi ʻoho fakahangatonu mei muʻa fakafou ʻi he ngaahi fakatanga pe ngaahi ngāue fakalao ʻo fakafepakiʻi ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová. (Sāme 94:20) Ko e ngaahi ʻoho fakalaione ko iá te ne fakatupunga nai ha niʻihi ke tūkia. Kae kehe, ko e ngaahi ʻoho fakahangatonu ko ení ʻoku meimei lahi ange ʻene faʻa mafuli ʻana ʻo iku fakafāʻūtahaʻi ai ʻa e kakai ia ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ka ʻoku fēfē leva ʻa e ngaahi ʻoho olopoto ange ia ʻa Sētane hangē ha ngatá?
4 ʻOku ngāueʻaki ʻe he Tēvoló ʻa hono poto mahulu hake ʻi he tangatá ke fakahokoʻaki ʻene ngaahi ʻoho kākā mo fakatuʻutāmaki hangē ha ngata huhu koná mei ha potu fufū. ʻI he founga ko ení, kuó ne lavameʻa ai ʻi hono fakakonahi ʻa e ʻatamai ʻo e niʻihi ʻo e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻo kākaaʻi kinautolu ki hono fai hono lotó kae ʻikai ko e finangalo ʻo Sihová, fakataha mo ha ikuʻanga fakamamahi. Ko e meʻa ʻoku saiʻakí, he ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻufikaua kia kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi filioʻi ʻa Sētané. (2 Kolinito 2:11) Tau lāulea angé he taimí ni ki he fā ʻo e ngaahi tauhele fakatupu mate ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe he “tokotaha pō-manupuná.”
Manavahē Tangata
5. Ko e hā ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e tauhele ʻo e “ilifia ki ha tangata” ʻo fuʻu ola leleí?
5 “Ko e tokotaha pō-manupuná” ʻokú ne mahinoʻi ʻa e holi anga-maheni ʻa e tangatá ke tali lelei ia mo saiʻia ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Ko e kau Kalisitiané ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ongonoa ʻo taʻemahuʻingaʻia ʻi he ngaahi fakakaukau mo e ngaahi ongoʻi ʻa e faʻahinga takatakai kia kinautolú. ʻI heʻene ʻiloʻi ení, ʻe ngāueʻaongaʻaki leva ʻe Sētane ʻenau tokanga ko ia ki he anga ʻo e fakakaukau mai ʻa e kakaí kia kinautolú. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻokú ne fakahahakaʻi ʻa e kakai ʻe niʻihi ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻaki hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e tauhele ʻo e “ilifia ki ha tangata.” (Palovepi 29:25) Kapau koeʻuhi ko e ilifia tangatá, ʻoku kau atu ai ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he niʻihi kehé ʻi hono fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tapui ʻe Sihová pe fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei hono fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fekauʻi ʻe he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ke nau faí, tā kuo tauheleʻi kinautolu ʻe he “tokotaha pō-manupuná.”—Isikeli 33:8; Semisi 4:17.
6. Ko e hā ʻa e fakatātā ʻoku fakahāhaaʻi ai ʻa e anga hono tauheleʻi nai ha kiʻi talavou ʻe he “tokotaha pō-manupuná”?
6 Ko e fakatātaá, ʻe tō nai ha kiʻi talavou ʻi he tenge mei he kaungā akó ʻo ifi ha foʻi tapaka. Ko hono ifi ha foʻi tapaká ko e meʻa taumamaʻo taha nai ia mei heʻene fakakaukaú ʻi heʻene mavahe atu ki he akó ʻi he ʻaho ko iá. Kae tuaiekemo kuó ne fai ʻe ia ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fakatou fakatuʻutāmaki ki heʻene moʻuí pea taʻefakahōifua ki he ʻOtuá. (2 Kolinito 6:19 [7:1, PM]) Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakataueleʻi iá? Mahalo naʻá ne feohi mo e faʻahinga toʻumeʻa hala pea ilifia naʻa fakalanga haʻanau taʻetali ia. Kau talavou, ʻoua ʻe tuku ke hanga ʻe he “tokotaha pō-manupuná” ʻo kākaaʻi pea tauheleʻi kimoutolu! Ke kalofi hano pō moʻui koe, tokanga ʻo aʻu ki he fanga kiʻi fakavaivai īkí. Fai ki he ngaahi fakatokanga ʻa e Tohi Tapú ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he feohi koví.—1 Kolinito 15:33.
7. ʻE anga-fēfē nai hano fakatupunga ʻe Sētane ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻa ʻe niʻihi ke mole ʻenau mafamafatatau fakalaumālié?
7 Ko e ngaahi mātuʻa Kalisitiane ʻoku tokangá, ʻoku nau fai fakamātoato honau fatongia Fakatohitapu ko ia ke tokonaki fakamatelie maʻa honau fāmilí. (1 Timote 5:8) Kae kehe, ko e taumuʻa ia ʻa Sētané ke ʻai ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ke mole ʻenau mafamafatatau fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni. Mahalo ʻoku nau angaʻaki hono liʻaki a e ngaahi fakatahá koeʻuhi ʻoku nau tō ʻi he tenge ko ia mei honau kau pule ngāué ke ngāue ʻovataimí. Te nau ilifia nai ke kole ke kiʻi mālōlō mei he ngāué ke maʻu ʻa e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi konga ʻo ha fakataha lahi fakavahe ke lotu ai kia Sihova fakataha mo honau fanga tokouá. Ko e maluʻi mei he tauhele ko ení ko e “falala kia Jihova.” (Palovepi 3:5, 6, PM) ʻIkai ko ia pē, ko hono manatuʻi ko ia ko e kau mēmipa kotoa kitautolu ʻo e fale ʻo Sihová pea kuó ne fakafatongiaʻi ia ke ne tokangaʻi kitautolú ʻe tokoni ia ke tau tauhi maʻu ʻetau mafamafatataú. Ngaahi mātuʻa, ʻoku mou tui ʻe hanga ʻe Sihova ʻi ha faʻahinga founga pē ʻo tokangaʻi kimoutolu mo homou fāmilí ʻi he taimi ʻoku mou fai ai hono finangaló? Pe ʻe hanga ʻe he Tēvoló ʻo pō moʻui koe pea maʻu koe ke fai hono lotó koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ilifia tangatá? ʻOku mau kōlenga atu ke mou fakakaukau fakafou he lotu fekauʻaki mo e ongo fehuʻi ko ení.
Ko e Tauhele ʻo e Tuli ki he Meʻa Fakamatelié
8. ʻI he founga fē ʻoku ngāueʻaki ai ʻe Sētane ʻa e mounu ʻo e tuli ki he ngaahi meʻa fakamatelié?
8 ʻOku toe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sētane ʻa e mounu ʻo e tuli ki he meʻa fakamatelié ke tauheleʻiʻaki kitautolu. Ko e fokotuʻutuʻu fakakomēsiale ʻo e māmani ko ení ʻokú ne toutou tuʻuaki ʻa e ngaahi founga tuʻumālie vave ʻoku lava ke ne kākaaʻi ʻo aʻu ki he kakai ʻe niʻihi ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI he taimi ki he taimi, ʻe fakaʻaiʻai nai ha niʻihi: “Ngāue mālohi. Ko hoʻo aʻu pē ki ha tuʻunga fakafiemālie, ʻe lava leva ke ke mālōlō pea fiefia ʻi he moʻuí. ʻE aʻu pē ʻo lava ke ke tāimuʻa.” Ko e ngaahi lea peheé ko ha fakaʻuhinga taʻemafamafatatau nai ia ʻa ha niʻihi ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki honau kaungāfeohi ʻi he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ke maʻu ai haʻanau tupu. Fakakaukau fakalelei ki he fakatauele ko iá. ʻIkai ʻoku tapua mei ai ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa e tangata koloaʻia “fakavalevale” ʻo e pealapeli ʻa Sīsuú?—Luke 12:16-21, KF.
9. Ko e hā nai ka tauheleʻi ai ha kau Kalisitiane ʻe niʻihi ʻe he holi ki ha ngaahi meʻá?
9 ʻOku fakalele ʻe Sētane ʻene fokotuʻutuʻu fulikivanú ʻi ha faʻahinga founga ʻoku kākaaʻi ai ʻa e kakaí ke holi ki ha ngaahi meʻa. Ko e holi ko iá ʻe lava ke faai atu pē ʻo ne hūhū ki he moʻui ʻa ha Kalisitiane, ʻo kāsia ai ʻa e folofolá ʻo ʻai ia ke “taʻe fua.” (Maake 4:19) ʻOku fakalototoʻaʻi mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ke tau fiemālie pē ʻi he meʻakai mo e vala. (1 Timote 6:8) Kae kehe, kuo tokolahi ʻa e faʻahinga kuo tauheleʻi ʻe he “tokotaha pō-manupuná” koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ngāueʻaki ʻa e akonaki ko iá kia kinautolu. ʻOku ngalingali nai kuo hanga ʻe he hīkisiá ʻo ʻai kinautolu ke nau ongoʻi kuo pau ke nau pīkitai ki ha faʻahinga founga moʻui pau? Fēfē kitautolu fakafoʻituitui? ʻOku hanga ʻe heʻetau holi ko ia ke maʻu ha ngaahi meʻá ʻo fakatupunga kitautolu ke teke ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻo e lotu moʻoní ke fika ua iá? (Hakeai 1:2-8) Ko e meʻa fakamamahí, lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi taimi faingataʻa fakaʻekonōmiká, kuo feilaulauʻi ai ʻe he niʻihi honau tuʻunga fakalaumālié koeʻuhi ke tauhi maʻu ha tuʻunga moʻui kuo maheni mo ia ʻi heʻenau tupu haké. Ko e faʻahinga fakakaukau fakamatelie pehē ʻokú ne fakahōhōʻiaʻi ʻe ia ʻa e “tokotaha pō-manupuná.”

11 ʻI he meimei kuata senituli kuohilí, naʻe fakatokanga anga-ʻofa ai ʻa e The Watchtower ki he ngaahi fāmili ʻi he tuí fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi faiva fakakongokonga hokohoko ʻi he TV.a Ko e fakamatala ko ení naʻe fai ia fekauʻaki mo e maongo ʻi he founga olopoto ʻa hono manakoaʻi ʻo e faiva fakakongokongá: “Ko e fekumi ki he ʻofá kuo ngāueʻaki ia ke fakatonuhiaʻi ha faʻahinga tōʻonga pē.
