“Oku ofi ae aho lahi o Jihova, io, oku ofi ia, bea oku fakatootoo mai aubito.”—SEFANAIA 1:14, PM.

Ko ha foʻi vahaʻa taimi lōloa ia ʻa ia ʻi he lolotonga ʻo iá ʻoku fakahoko ai ʻa e fakamaau fakaʻotuá ki he fulikivanú. ʻOku maʻu ʻe he faʻahinga ʻoku ʻikai ke nau tauhi ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa e ʻuhinga ke nau manavahē ai ki he ʻaho ʻo e fakapoʻulituʻu, fakailifia, houhau kakaha, fakamamahi mo e fakaʻauha ko iá. (Aisea 13:9; Emosi 5:18-20; Sefanaia 1:15) ʻOku pehē ʻe he kikite ʻa Sioelí: “Oiaue ae aho! he kuo ofi ae aho o Jihova, bea e hoko mai ia o hage koe fakaauha mei he Mafimafi.” (Sioeli 1:15, PM) Kae kehe, ʻi he ʻaho lahi ko iá, ʻe hoko ai ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e Fakamoʻui ki he kau “agatonu.”—Sāme 7:10, PM.
2 Ko e kupuʻi lea “aho o Jihova” ʻoku ngāueʻaki ia ki he fakahoko ʻo e fakamaau ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi taimi kehekehe. Hangē ko ʻení, naʻe hoko ha “aho o Jihova” ki he kau nofo ʻi Selusalemá ʻi he toʻukupu ʻo Pāpiloné ʻi he 607 K.M. (Sefanaia 1:4-7) Ko ha fakahoko meimei tatau ʻo e fakamaau ʻa e ʻOtuá naʻe hoko ia ʻi he 70 T.S. ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e kau Lomá ke nau fakahoko ʻene fakamaau ki he puleʻanga Siu ko ia naʻa nau fakafisingaʻi hono ʻAló. (Taniela 9:24-27; Sione 19:15) ʻOku toe tomuʻa tala foki ʻe he Tohi Tapú ha “aho o Jihova” te ne ‘tau ai mo e ngaahi puleʻangá kotoa.’ (Sakalaia 14:1-3) ʻI hono fakamānavaʻí, naʻe fakafekauʻaki ai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e ʻaho ko iá pea mo e ʻi ai ʻa Kalaisí, ʻa ia naʻe kamata ʻi he fakanofo ʻo Sīsū ko e Tuʻi fakahēvani ʻi he 1914. (2 Tesalonaika 2:1, 2) ʻI he maluʻaki mai ʻa e ʻaho ʻo Sihová, kuo tautefito ai ʻa e feʻungamālie ʻa e konga tohi fakataʻu ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ki he 2007. ʻOku toʻo mei he Sefanaia 1:14 (PM), ʻa ia ʻoku pehē hono laú: “Oku ofi ae aho lahi o Jihova.”

4. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻahiʻahi lahi naʻe teuteuʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa ia tonu ki aí?

(Mātiu 20:28) Ko e hā ʻoku lava ke tau ako mei he founga naʻe teuteuʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa ia tonú?
5, 6. (a) ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e tokoni ʻa e ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá pea ki he kakaí ki hono teuteuʻi kitautolu ki he ʻaho ʻo Sihová? (e) ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e ʻofa ki he kaungāʻapí, ko e hā ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sīsuú?
5 Naʻe ʻofa loto-ʻaufuatō ʻa Sīsū kia Sihova pea mo ʻEne ngaahi tuʻunga māʻoniʻoní. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo Sīsuú, ʻoku pehē ʻe he Hepelu 1:9 (PM): “Kuo ke ofa ki he maonioni, bea fehia ki he agahala; koia koe Otua, ko ho Otua, kuo ne tākai aki koe ae lolo oe fiefia o lahi hake i ho kaiga.” Koeʻuhi naʻá ne ʻofa ʻi heʻene Tamai fakahēvaní, naʻe tauhi maʻu ai ʻe Sīsū ʻene anga-tonu kiate iá. Kapau ʻoku tau maʻu ha ʻofa meimei tatau ki he ʻOtuá pea moʻui ʻo fehoanaki mo ʻene ngaahi fiemaʻú, te ne maluʻi kitautolu. (Sāme 31:23) ʻE tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻofa mo e talangofua peheé ke tau hoko ʻo mateuteu ki he ʻaho lahi ʻo Sihová.
6 Ko e ʻofa ki he kakaí ko ha tafaʻaki tuʻu-ki-muʻa ia ʻo e ʻulungāanga ʻo Sīsuú. Ko hono moʻoní, “naʻe langa hono fatu ʻi he ʻofa kiate kinautolu: he naʻa nau nofo ongosia mo tukuhāusia, ʻo hange ko ha fanga sipi taʻe hanau tauhi.” (Mātiu 9:36) Ko ia ai, naʻe malangaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ongoongo leleí ki he kakaí, hangē tofu pē ko hono ueʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻofá ke tau fanongonongo ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e Puleʻangá ki hotau ngaahi kaungāʻapí. Ko e ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá pea mo hotau kaungāʻapí ʻokú ne hanganaki ʻai kitautolu ke tau longomoʻui ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau faifekau Kalisitiane pea tokoni foki ki hono teuteuʻi kitautolu ki he ʻaho lahi ʻo Sihová.—Mātiu 22:37-39.
7. ʻI heʻetau tatali atu ki he ʻaho ʻo Sihová, ko e hā ʻe lava ai ke tau fiefiá?
7 Naʻe fiefia ʻa Sīsū ke fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo Sihová. (Sāme 40:8) Kapau ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e fakakaukau tatau, te tau fiefia ʻi hono fai ʻa e ngāue toputapu ki he ʻOtuá. ʻI he hangē ko Sīsuú, te tau hoko ko e kau foaki taʻesiokita, pea ʻe ʻai ʻe he meʻá ni kitautolu ke tau fiefia moʻoni. (Ngāue 20:35) ʻIo, “koe fiefia a Jihova ko [hotau] malohi” ia. ʻI he fiefia ko iá, te tau teuteu lelei ange ai ki he ʻaho lahi ʻo e ʻOtuá.—Nehemaia 8:10, PM.
8. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau ʻunuʻunu ke toe ofi ange kia Sihova ʻi he lotú?
8 Naʻe tokoni ʻa e lotu faivelenga ki he ʻOtuá ki hono teuteuʻi ʻo Sīsū ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻo e tuí. Naʻá ne lotu ʻi he taimi naʻe papitaiso ai ia ʻe Sioné. Naʻe lotu ʻa Sīsū ʻi ha pō kakato ki muʻa peá ne fili ʻene kau ʻapositoló. (Luke 6:12-16) Pea ko hai ia ha tokotaha lau Tohi Tapu heʻikai maongo kiate ia ʻa e ngaahi lotu tōtōivi ʻa Sīsū ʻi he pō fakaʻosi ʻo ʻene moʻui ʻi he māmaní? (Maake 14:32-42; Sione 17:1-26) Ko ha tokotaha faʻa lotu koe, ʻo hangē ko Sīsuú? Fakaofiofi maʻu pē kia Sihova, nōfoʻi ʻi he lotú, kumi ki he tataki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, pea vave ke tali ʻa e tataki ko iá ʻi heʻene hoko ʻo hā mahino maí. Ko ha vahaʻangatae mālohi mo ʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ia ʻi he taimi faingataʻa ko ʻení ʻi he tuʻunuku mai ʻa e ʻaho lahi ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko ia ai, ʻoua ʻe toe fakatuotuai, ʻunuʻunu ke toe ofi ange kia Sihova ʻi he lotu.—Semisi 4:8.
9. ʻOku mahuʻinga fēfē ʻa e tokanga fekauʻaki mo hono fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa e huafa ʻo Sihová?
9 Ko e tokanga fekauʻaki mo hono fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa e huafa māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sihová naʻe toe tokoni ia kia Sīsū ke mateuteu ai ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi naʻá ne fehangahangai mo iá. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻá ne akoʻi hono kau muimuí ko ʻenau ngaahi lotu ki he ʻOtuá ʻoku totonu ke fakakau ai ʻa e kole: “Ke tapuhā [pe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi] ho huafa.” (Mātiu 6:9) Kapau ʻoku tau holi tōtōivi ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa e huafa ʻo Sihová, pe ʻai ke toputapu, te tau feinga ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei hano fai ha meʻa ʻe lumaʻi ai ia. Ko hono olá, te tau mateuteu lelei ange ai ki he ʻaho lahi ʻo Sihová.
ʻOku Totonu Ke Ke Fai ha Ngaahi Liliu?
10. Ko e hā ʻoku feʻungamālie ai ke sivisiviʻi ʻetau moʻuí?
10 Kapau ʻe hoko mai ʻa e ʻaho ʻo Sihová ʻapongipongi, te ke mateuteu moʻoni ki ai? ʻE lelei ki he tokotaha taki taha ʻo kitautolu ke ne sivisiviʻi ʻene moʻuí ke sio pe ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi tōʻonga pe ngaahi fakakaukau ʻoku fiemaʻu ke fakaleleiʻi. ʻI he fakakaukau atu ki he fuonounou mo e taʻepau ʻo e moʻui fakaetangata lolotongá, ʻoku fiemaʻu ki he tokotaha taki taha ʻo kitautolu ke tau ʻāʻā fakalaumālie ʻi he ʻaho taki taha. (Koheleti 9:11, 12; Semisi 4:13-15) Ko ia tau lāulea angé ki ha ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa ʻe niʻihi ʻe fiemaʻu nai ke tau tokanga ai ʻi heʻetau moʻuí.
11. Ko e hā hoʻo taumuʻa lau Tohi Tapú?
11 Ko e moʻoniʻi meʻa mahuʻinga ʻe taha ko e akonaki ʻa e ‘tamaioeiki agatonú’ ke lau fakaʻaho ʻa e Tohi Tapú. (Mātiu 24:45, PM) ʻE lava nai ke ke ʻai ia ko haʻo taumuʻa ke lau mo fakalaulauloto ʻi he Tohi Tapú mei he Sēnesí ki he Fakahaá ʻo tuʻo taha ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē. ʻI hono lau ha foʻi vahe ʻe fā ʻi he ʻaho, ʻe lava ke ke lau ai ʻa e ngaahi vahe ʻe 1,189 ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha. Naʻe fiemaʻu ki he tuʻi taki taha ʻo ʻIsilelí ke ne lau ʻa e Lao ʻa Sihová “ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa oʻene moʻui.” ʻOku ngalingali naʻe fai ʻe Siosiua ʻa e meʻa meimei tatau. (Teutalonome 17:14-20; Siosiua 1:7, 8) He mahuʻinga lahi ē ke lau fakaʻaho ʻe he kau tauhi-sipi fakalaumālié ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, he ʻe tokoni ʻeni kiate kinautolu ke ʻoatu ʻa e “akonaki haohaoa”!—Taitusi 2:1.
12. ʻOku totonu ke ueʻi koe ʻe he ofi mai ʻa e ʻaho ʻo Sihová ke ke fai ʻa e hā?
12 ʻOku totonu ke ueʻi koe ʻe he ofi mai ʻa e ʻaho ʻo Sihová ke ke maʻu mo kau tuʻumaʻu ki he ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané ʻi he kakato taha ʻe ala lavá.

(Ngāue 13:48) Mahalo pē ʻoku malava ke ke longomoʻui lahi ange ʻi he fakatahaʻangá ʻi ha ngaahi founga kehe foki, hangē ko hono tokoniʻi ʻa e kau taʻumotuʻá mo fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga kei īkí. He fakafiemālie ē ko e ngaahi feinga ko iá!

13. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻe lava nai ke tau ʻeke hifo kiate kitautolu ʻo fekauʻaki mo hono ʻai ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú?
13 Koeʻuhi ʻoku tuʻunuku mai ʻa e ʻaho ʻo Sihová, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ke fai ha feinga lahi ange ke “kofuʻaki ʻa e tangata foʻou, ʻa ia naʻe ngaohi ke hoko ki he ʻOtua ʻi he angatonu mo e maʻoniʻoni ʻa Moʻoni”? (Efeso 4:20-24) ʻI hoʻo fakatupulekina ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakaʻotuá, ʻe fakatokangaʻi nai ʻe he niʻihi kehé ʻokú ke ‘fou ʻi he Laumalie ʻo e ʻOtuá’ pea fakahāhā ʻa hono fuá. (Kaletia 5:16, 22-25) ʻE lava ke ke fakahaaʻi ha ngaahi tōʻonga pau ʻoku hā mei ai ko koe mo ho fāmilí kuo mou ʻai ʻa e angaʻitangata foʻoú? (Kolose 3:9, 10) Ko e fakatātaá, ʻoku ʻiloʻi koe ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻo e anga-ʻofa ki ho kaungātuí mo e niʻihi kehé? (Kaletia 6:10) Ko hano ako tuʻumaʻu ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻe tokoni ia kiate koe ʻi hono fakatupulekina ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakaʻotua te ne teuteuʻi koe ki he ʻaho ʻo Sihová.
14. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ki ha taha ke ne lotu ʻo kole ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻi heʻene ngāue ki hono fakatupulekina ʻa e mapuleʻi-kitá?
14 Fēfē kapau ʻokú ke ʻita vave pea ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ke mapuleʻi-kita lahi ange? Ko e ʻulungāanga ko iá ko ha konga ia ʻo e fua ʻoku malava ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá ke fakatupu ʻi loto ʻiate koe. Ko ia ai, lotu ʻo kole ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ʻi he fehoanaki mo e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú: “Kole, pea ʻe foaki kiate kimoutolu; kumi, pea te mou ʻilo; tukituki, pea ʻe toʻo kiate kimoutolu. . . . Kapau ʻoku mou ʻilo ke foaki meʻaʻofa lelei ki hoʻomou fanau, neongo ko e faʻahinga kovi kimoutolu: huanoa ʻa e Tamai ʻi he langi ʻene foaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia.”—Luke 11:9-13.

(Sāme 133:1-3) Ngāueʻaki ʻa e akonaki ʻa Sīsū ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he Mātiu 5:23, 24 pe ko e Mātiu 18:15-17. Kapau kuó ke tuku ke tō ʻa e laʻaá ʻokú ke kei ʻi he tuʻunga loto-mamahí, fakavave leva ke fakatonutonu ʻa e ngaahi meʻá. ʻOku faʻa hoko ko e meʻa pē ʻoku fiemaʻú ia ko ha loto-lelei ke fakamolemole. Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Mou angaʻofa muʻa ʻi hoʻomou feangai, mo manavaʻofa [ongongofua], pea mou fefakamolemoleʻaki, ʻo hange foki ko e ʻOtua ne ne fakamolemole kimoutolu ʻia Kalaisi.”—Efeso 4:25, 26, 32.

16 ʻOku fiemaʻu ki he vā fakaenofo malí ʻa e manavaʻofa ongongofuá, pea pehē ki he fakamolemolé ʻi he taimi lahi.

Ko hono moʻoní ko e tafaʻaki ʻeni ʻo e moʻuí ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ki ha husepāniti pe ko ha uaifi ke hoko ʻo “manavaʻofa ongongofua.”

Naʻe hokosia ia ʻe Tēvita, ka he lelei ē ko hono maʻu ʻa e nonga tupu mei he vetehia kia Sihová! Naʻe tohi ʻe Tēvita: “Monuʻiaa ka ko e toko taha kuo fakamolemole ʻene talangataʻa, kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻene faihala. Monuʻiaā ka ko e faihala. ʻOku ʻikai lau hia ki ai ʻe Sihova, pea ʻi hono laumalie ʻoku ʻikai ha kākā.” (Sāme 32:1-5) ʻOku fakamolemoleʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau faihala ka ʻoku nau fakatomala loto-moʻoní.—Sāme 103:8-14; Palovepi 28:13.

Ko Sētane, “ʻa e ʻeiki ʻo e maama ko eni,” naʻe ʻikai hano kaunga kia Sīsū Kalaisi.
