“Ko kimoutolú ‘ko ha matakali kuo fili, ko ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki fakatuʻi, ko ha puleʻanga māʻoniʻoni, ko ha kakai ke hoko ko ha koloa makehe.’”—1 PITA 2:9.
1. Ko e hā ʻoku toe ui ai ʻa e “kai efiafi ʻa e ʻEikí” ko e Fakamanatú, pea ko e hā hono taumuʻá?
LOLOTONGA ʻa e efiafi ʻo Nīsani 14 ʻi he taʻu 33 T.S., naʻe kātoangaʻi fakaʻosi ai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻene kau ʻapositolo ʻe toko 12 ʻa e Pāsova faka-Siú. Hili ʻene tukuange ʻa e tokotaha lavaki ko Siutasi ʻIsikalioté, naʻe kamataʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ha kātoanga kehe, naʻe ui ki mui ko e “kai efiafi ʻa e ʻEikí.” (1 Kol. 11:20) Naʻe tuʻo ua e lea ʻa Sīsū: “Hanganaki fai eni ko hoku fakamanatu.” Ko e meʻa ko eni naʻe hokó ʻoku toe ʻiloa ia ko e Fakamanatu, ko ha fakamanatu ʻo Kalaisi ʻo fakamamafaʻi ʻa ʻene pekiá. (1 Kol. 11:24, 25) ʻI he talangofua ki he fekau ko ení, ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova ʻi māmani lahí ʻoku nau kātoangaʻi fakataʻu ʻa e Fakamanatú. ʻI he 2012, ko Nīsani 14 ʻo e tohimāhina Fakatohitapú ʻe kamata ia ʻi he tō ʻa e laʻaá, Tuʻapulelulu, ʻEpeleli 5.
2. Ko e hā naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e ongo meʻa fakaefakatātā naʻá ne ngāueʻakí?
2 Ko e ākonga ko Luké ʻokú ne fakanounou ʻi he veesi ʻe ua ʻa e meʻa naʻe fai mo leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻi he taimi ko iá: “Naʻá ne toʻo ha mā, ʻo ne fai ha fakafetaʻi, pakipaki ia, peá ne ʻoange ia kiate kinautolu, ʻo ne pehē: ‘ʻOku ʻuhinga eni ki hoku sinó, ʻa ia ʻe foaki koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu. Hanganaki fai eni ko hoku fakamanatu.’ Pehē foki, naʻá ne toʻo ʻa e ipú hili ʻenau fai ʻa e kai efiafí, peá ne pehē: ‘Ko e ipú ni ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he fuakava foʻou ʻoku faiʻaki hoku totó, ʻa ia ʻe lilingi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu.’” (Luke 22:19, 20) ʻE fēfē hano mahinoʻi ʻe he kau ʻapositoló ʻa e ngaahi lea ko ení?
3. ʻE fēfē hano mahinoʻi ʻe he kau ʻapositoló ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e ongo meʻa fakaefakatātaá?
3 ʻI he tuʻunga ko e kau Siú, naʻe maheni lelei ʻa e kau ʻapositoló mo e ngaahi feilaulau monumanu naʻe foaki ʻe he kau taulaʻeikí ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he temipale ʻi Selusalemá. Ko e ngaahi foaki ko iá naʻe fai ke maʻu ai ʻa e hōifua ʻa Sihová, pea ko e ngaahi foaki lahi naʻe hoko ia ko ha fakatātā ʻo hono ʻufiʻufi ʻo e angahalá. (Liv. 1:4; 22:17-29) Ko ia naʻe lava ke mahinoʻi ʻe he kau ʻapositoló ko e taimi naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sīsū ko hono sinó mo e taʻataʻá ʻe ‘foaki pea ʻe lilingi koeʻuhi ko kinautolú,’ naʻá ne ʻuhingá naʻe pau ke ne foaki ʻene moʻui haohaoá tonu ko ha feilaulau. ʻE hoko ia ko ha feilaulau ʻoku mahuʻinga mamaʻo lahi ange ʻi he feilaulau ko ia ʻo e fanga monumanú.
4. Naʻe ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa Sīsū ʻi heʻene pehē: “Ko e ipú ni ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he fuakava foʻou ʻoku faiʻaki hoku totó”?
4 Fēfē ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū “ko e ipú ni ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he fuakava foʻou ʻoku faiʻaki hoku totó”? Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau ʻapositoló ʻa e kikite fekauʻaki mo e fuakava foʻoú, ʻa ē ʻoku hiki ʻi he Selemaia 31:31-33. (Lau.) Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú naʻá ne kamataʻi he taimi ko iá ʻa e fuakava foʻoú, ʻa ia te ne fetongi ʻa e fuakava Lao naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova mo ʻIsileli fakafou ʻia Mōsesé. Naʻe ʻi ai ha felāveʻi ʻa e ongo fuakavá?
5. Ko e hā e ngaahi ʻamanaki naʻe ʻoange ʻe he fuakava Laó ki ʻIsilelí?
5 ʻIo, ko hona ngaahi taumuʻá naʻe fehokotaki vāofi. ʻI hono kamataʻi ʻa e fuakava Laó naʻe tala ʻe Sihova ki he puleʻangá: “Kabau te mou tuitala mooni ki hoku leʻo, o tauhi eku fuakava, te mou iate au koe koloa lelei lahi i he kakai kotoabe: he oku ooku a mamani kotoabe. Bea te mou iate au koe buleaga oe kau taulaeiki, moe kakai maonioni.” (ʻEki. 19:5, 6, PM) ʻE ʻuhinga ki he hā e ngaahi leá ni ki he kau ʻIsilelí?
KO E TALAʻOFA KI HA TUʻUNGA TAULAʻEIKI FAKATUʻI
6. Ko e hā ʻa e talaʻofa naʻe fakahoko lahi ange ʻi he fuakava Laó?
6 Naʻe mahinoʻi ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻa e foʻi lea “fuakava,” he naʻe fakahoko ʻe Sihova ha ngaahi aleapau molumalu pehē mo ʻenau ongo kuí ʻa Noa mo ʻĒpalahame. (Sēn. 6:18; 9:8-17; 15:18; 17:1-9) ʻI he hoko ko e konga ʻo ʻene fuakava mo ʻĒpalahamé, naʻe talaʻofa ʻa Sihova: “Ko ho hako ʻe monuʻia ai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo mamani.” (Sēn. 22:18) Ko e fuakava Laó ko ha fakahoko lahi ange ia ʻo e talaʻofa ko ení. Makatuʻunga ai, ʻe lava ke hoko ʻa ʻIsileli ko e “koloa lelei lahi i he kakai kotoabe.” Ki he taumuʻa ko e hā? Ke nau hoko ‘kia Jihova koe buleaga oe kau taulaeiki.’
7. Naʻe ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e kupuʻi lea ko ha “buleaga oe kau taulaeiki”?
7 Naʻe alāanga ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí mo e ngaahi tuʻí mo e kau taulaʻeikí, ka ko Melekisēteki pē ʻa e tangata he kuohilí ʻa ia naʻá ne maʻu ʻi he taimi tatau ʻa e ongo lakangá fakatouʻosi ʻi he hōifua ki ai ʻa Sihová. (Sēn. 14:18) Naʻe foaki he taimi ko ení ʻe Sihova ki he puleʻangá ʻa e faingamālie ʻo hono faʻu ha “buleaga oe kau taulaeiki.” Hangē ko ia ne fakahaaʻi ki mui ʻi he ʻū tohi fakamānavaʻí, naʻe ʻuhinga ení ko e faingamālie ke ʻomai ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki fakatuʻi, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻa ia te nau toe hoko ko e kau taulaʻeiki.—1 Pita 2:9.
8. Ko e hā e ngaahi ngāue ʻoku fai ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki kuo fakanofo fakaʻotuá?
8 Ko ha tuʻi, ko e moʻoni, ʻokú ne pule. Ka ko e hā ʻoku fai ʻe ha taulaʻeiki? ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Hepelū 5:1: “Ko e taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē kuo toʻo mei he lotolotonga ʻo e tangatá ʻoku fakanofo ia maʻá e tangatá ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá, ke ne ʻoatu ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa foaki mo e ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi angahalá.” Ko ia ko ha taulaʻeiki kuo fakanofo ʻe Sihova ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e kakai angahalaʻiá ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá fakafou ʻi he ngaahi foaki naʻe tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo kōlenga kiate Ia maʻanautolu. ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ʻoku toe fakafofongaʻi ʻe ha taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova he ʻao ʻo e kakaí, ʻi hono fakahinohinoʻi kinautolu ʻi he lao fakaʻotuá. (Liv. 10:8-11; Mal. 2:7) ʻI he ngaahi foungá ni, ko ha taulaʻeiki kuo fakanofo fakaʻotua ʻoku ngāue ia ke fakalelei ʻa e kakaí ki he ʻOtuá.
9. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga naʻe lava ke fakahoko ai ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa e talaʻofa ʻo hono tokonaki ha “buleaga oe kau taulaeiki”? (e) Ko e hā ne fokotuʻu ai ʻe Sihova ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki ʻi loto ʻi ʻIsilelí? (f) Ko e hā naʻá ne taʻofi ʻa ʻIsileli mei hono ʻomai ha “buleaga oe kau taulaeiki” ʻi he malumalu ʻo e fuakava Laó?
9 Ko ia ai naʻe foaki ʻe he fuakava Laó ki ʻIsileli ʻa e faingamālie ke faʻu ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki fakatuʻi ʻa ia ʻe maʻu ʻaonga ai ʻa e “kakai kotoabe.” Neongo ia, ko e ʻamanaki fakaofo ko ení naʻe hoko fakatuʻunga mai ia: “Kabau te mou tuitala mooni ki hoku leʻo, o tauhi eku fuakava.” Naʻe lava ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻo ‘tuitala mooni ki he leʻo ʻo Jihová’? ʻIo, ʻi ha tuʻunga pau. Te nau lava ʻo fai haohaoa ia? ʻIkai. (Loma 3:19, 20) ʻI he ʻuhinga ko iá, naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe Sihova he taimi ko ení ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki ʻi loto ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo mavahe mei ha tuʻunga tuʻi pē, ke fai ha ngaahi feilaulau monumanu maʻá e ngaahi angahala ʻe fai taʻealakalofi ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí. (Liv. 4:1–6:7) Ko e ngaahi angahalá ni naʻe kau ai e ngaahi angahala ʻa e kau taulaʻeikí tonu. (Hep. 5:1-3; 8:3) Naʻe tali ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau peheé, ka naʻe ʻikai lava ke totongi kakato ai ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa e kau fai feilaulaú. Ko e tuʻunga taulaʻeiki ʻi he malumalu ʻo e fuakava Laó naʻe ʻikai lava ke fakalelei kakato ai naʻa mo e kau ʻIsileli loto-moʻoní ki he ʻOtuá. Naʻe fakalea peheni ia ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “ʻOku ʻikai malava ʻe he toto ʻo e fanga pulu tangatá mo e fanga kosí ʻo ʻave ʻa e ngaahi angahalá.” (Hep. 10:1-4) Koeʻuhi ko ʻenau maumauʻi ʻa e Laó, naʻe hoko moʻoni ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻo ʻi he malumalu ʻo ha fakamalaʻia. (Kal. 3:10) Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito lava ke nau ngāue ki he māmaní ko ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki fakatuʻi ʻi ha tuʻunga pehē.
10. Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa naʻe fakahoko ʻe he fuakava Laó?
10 Ko ia ai ko e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻe lava ke nau ʻomai ha “buleaga oe kau taulaeiki” ko ha koto ngeʻesi? ʻIkai ʻaupito. Kapau naʻa nau feinga loto-moʻoni ke talangofua, naʻa nau mei maʻu ʻa e faingamālie ko ení—kae ʻikai ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Laó. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? (Lau ʻa e Kalētia 3:19-25.) Ki he faʻahinga ko ia naʻa nau feinga faitōnunga ke tauhi iá, naʻe maʻu ʻe he Laó ʻa e ola ko hono fakatolonga ʻa e lotu maʻá. Naʻá ne ʻai ʻa e kau Siú ke nau lāuʻilo ki heʻenau ngaahi angahalá pea mo e fiemaʻu ʻo ha feilaulau lahi ange ʻi he feilaulau naʻe lava ke fai ʻe heʻenau taulaʻeiki lahí. Ko ha tauhi ia te ne taki kinautolu ki he Kalaisí, pe Mīsaiá, ko e ongo hingoa fakalakanga ʻoku ʻuhingá ko e “Tokotaha Pani.” Kae kehe, ʻi he taimi naʻe aʻu mai ai ʻa e Mīsaiá, te ne kamataʻi ʻa e fuakava foʻou naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe Selemaiá. Ko e faʻahinga ko ia naʻa nau tali ʻa e Kalaisí naʻe fakaafeʻi ke nau hoko ko e konga ʻo e fuakava foʻoú pea te nau hoko moʻoni ko ha “buleaga oe kau taulaeiki.” Tau sio angé pe ʻe anga-fēfē.

11. Naʻe anga-fēfē hoko ʻa Sīsū ko e makatuʻunga ʻo ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki fakatuʻí?
11 ʻI he 29 T.S., naʻe aʻu mai ai ʻa e Mīsaiá ʻi he tokotaha ko Sīsū ʻo Nasaletí. ʻI hono taʻu 30 nai, naʻá ne foaki atu ai ia ke fai ʻa e finangalo makehe ʻo Sihova kiate iá, ʻo fakatātaaʻi eni ʻaki ʻa e papitaiso ʻi he vaí. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ia ʻe Sihova ‘ko hoku ʻAló, ʻa e ʻofeiná,’ ʻo pani ia, ʻikai ʻaki ʻa e lolo, ka ko e laumālie māʻoniʻoní. (Māt. 3:13-17; Ngā. 10:38) Ko e pani ko iá naʻe fakanofo ai ia ko e Taulaʻeiki Lahi ki he faʻahinga ʻoku tui ʻi he fāmili fakakātoa ʻo e tangatá pea ʻi he tuʻunga ko honau Tuʻi ʻi he kahaʻú. (Hep. 1:8, 9; 5:5, 6) Te ne hoko ko e makatuʻunga ʻo ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki fakatuʻi moʻoni.
12. Ko e hā naʻe ʻai ke malava ʻi he feilaulau ʻa Sīsuú?
12 ʻI he tuʻunga ko e Taulaʻeiki Lahí, ko e hā ʻa e feilaulau naʻe lava ke foaki ʻe Sīsū te ne ʻufiʻufi fakaʻaufuli ʻa e angahala tukufakaholo ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku tuí? Hangē ko ia naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ʻi heʻene fokotuʻu ʻa e Fakamanatu ʻo ʻene pekiá, ko ʻene moʻui haohaoa fakaetangatá tonu ʻa e feilaulaú. (Lau ʻa e Hepelū 9:11, 12.) Mei he taimi ʻo hono papitaiso ʻi he 29 T.S., ko Sīsū ʻi he tuʻunga ko e Taulaʻeiki Lahí naʻá ne fakamoʻulaloa ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi mo e ako ʻo aʻu ki he taimi tonu ʻo ʻene pekiá. (Hep. 4:15; 5:7-10) Hili ʻene toetuʻú, naʻá ne ʻalu hake ki hēvani ʻo foaki ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo ʻene feilaulaú kia Sihova tonu. (Hep. 9:24) Hili iá, naʻe lava ke kōlenga ʻa Sīsū kia Sihova maʻá e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau ngāueʻi ʻa e tui ki heʻene feilaulaú pea tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau tauhi ki he ʻOtuá fakataha mo e vakai atu ki he moʻui taʻengatá. (Hep. 7:25) Ko ʻene feilaulaú naʻe toe hoko ʻo fakapapauʻi ai ʻa e fuakava foʻoú.—Hep. 8:6; 9:15.
13. Ko e hā e ngaahi ʻamanaki ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia naʻe fakaafeʻi ke nau kau ʻi he fuakava foʻoú?
13 Ko e faʻahinga naʻe fakaafeʻi ke nau kau ʻi he fuakava foʻoú naʻe pau ke toe paniʻaki kinautolu ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní. (2 Kol. 1:21) Ko e kau Siu faitōnunga pea toe fakakau atu leva ki ai mo e kau Senitaile. (ʻEf. 3:5, 6) Ko e hā e ngaahi ʻamanaki ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia ʻi he fuakava foʻoú? Te nau maʻu ʻa e fakamolemole moʻoni ʻi heʻenau ngaahi angahalá. Naʻe talaʻofa ʻe Sihova: “Teu fakamolemole ʻenau kovi, pea ko ʻenau ngaahi angahala ʻe ʻikai te u toe manatua.” (Sel. 31:34) ʻI hono kaniseli fakalao ʻenau ngaahi angahalá, te nau ʻi ha tuʻunga ai ke hoko “koe buleaga oe kau taulaeiki.” ʻI he lea ki he kau Kalisitiane paní, naʻe tohi ʻa Pita: “Ko kimoutolú ‘ko ha matakali kuo fili, ko ha tuʻunga taulaʻeiki fakatuʻi, ko ha puleʻanga māʻoniʻoni, ko ha kakai ke hoko ko ha koloa makehe, koeʻuhi ke mou talaki atu ʻa e ngaahi lelei’ ʻo e tokotaha naʻá ne ui kimoutolu mei he fakapoʻulí ki he maama fakaofo ʻaʻaná.” (1 Pita 2:9) ʻOku lave heni ʻa Pita ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ki ʻIsileli ʻi heʻene fokotuʻu ʻa e Laó pea ngāueʻaki ia ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻi he fuakava foʻoú.—ʻEki. 19:5, 6, PM.
