Naʻa Nau Foaki Loto-lelei Atu Kinautolu—ʻI ʻEkuatoa
KO HA talavou ʻi ʻĪtali naʻá ne ʻi he malumalu ʻo ha tenge. Naʻá ne toki maʻu tohi fakamoʻoni ako mei he kolisí fakataha mo e maaka māʻolunga taha ʻi heʻene kalasí, pea ʻi he taimi ní naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ia ʻe he ngaahi kāingá mo e kau faiakó ke ne tuli ki ha ako māʻolunga ange. Kae kehe, ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ki muʻa angé, naʻe ʻosi fakatapui ʻa Bruno ia kia Sihova ʻo palōmesi ke ʻai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá ko e meʻa muʻomuʻa taha ia ʻi heʻene moʻuí. Ko e hā e fili naʻá ne faí? ʻOkú ne fakamatala: “Naʻa ku tala kia Sihova ʻi he lotu te u moʻuiʻaki ʻeku fakatapuí pea fakamuʻomuʻa Ia. Ka naʻá ku tānaki faitotonu atu ʻi heʻeku lotú naʻá ku fiemaʻu, ʻo ʻikai ko ha moʻui longomate, ka ko e moʻui ʻoku fonu ʻi ha ngaahi ngāue kehekehe ʻi heʻene ngāué.”
ʻI ha ngaahi taʻu siʻi ki mui ai, naʻe ʻi ʻEkuatoa ai ʻa Bruno, ʻi ʻAmelika Tonga. ʻOkú ne pehē: “Naʻe tali ʻe Sihova ʻeku lotú ʻo hulu atu ia ʻi heʻeku ngaahi ʻamanakí.” Ki heʻene ʻohovalé, ʻi heʻene aʻu ki ʻEkuatoá, naʻá ne fetaulaki ai mo e kau talavou kehe tokolahi naʻa nau toe hiki ki ai ke ngāue kia Sihova ʻi ha tuʻunga lahi ange.
TOʻUTUPU ʻOKU NAU ‘AHIAHIʻI A JIHOVA’
Ko Bruno, hangē ko e laui afe ʻo e toʻutupu kehe takatakai ʻi he māmaní, naʻa nau tali ʻa e fakaafe ʻa Sihova: “Mou ahiahi ai au, . . . be teu fakaava ae gaahi mataba oe lagi be ikai, beau liligi hifo kiate kimoutolu ha tabuaki.” (Mal. 3:10, PM) ʻI hono ueʻi ʻe he ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá, naʻa nau fili ke ‘ahiahiʻi a Jihova’ ʻaki ʻenau foaki loto-lelei atu honau taimí, iví, mo e ngaahi koloá ke poupouʻi ʻene ngaahi meʻá ʻi ha fonua ʻoku lahi ange ai ʻa e fiemaʻu ki he kau fanongonongo ʻo e Puleʻangá.
ʻI he hili pē aʻu ʻa e kau ngāue loto-lelei ko ení ki honau vāhenga-ngāue foʻoú, naʻa nau siotonu ai ki he “utu-taʻú ʻoku lahi, ka ʻoku tokosiʻi ʻa e kau ngāué.” (Māt. 9:37) Ko e fakatātaá, ko Jaqueline mei Siamane, naʻa ne tohi loto-māfana ki he vaʻa ʻi ʻEkuatoá: “Kuó u ngāue ʻi ʻEkuatoa ʻo laka hake ʻi he taʻu pē ʻe ua, pea kuó u ʻosi maʻu ʻa e ako Tohi Tapu ʻe 13, ko e toko 4 ʻo kinautolu ʻoku nau maʻu maʻu pē ʻa e ngaahi fakatahá. ʻIkai nai ko e meʻa lelei ia?” Ko Chantal mei Kānata, ʻokú ne pehē: “ʻI he 2008, naʻá ku hiki ki ha feituʻu ʻi he matāfanga ʻo ʻEkuatoa ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e fakatahaʻanga pē ʻe taha. ʻI he taimi ní ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e fakatahaʻanga ʻe tolu mo e kau tāimuʻa ʻe toko 30 tupu ʻi he feituʻu ko iá. ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe fakatataua ʻa e sio ki he faʻahinga foʻou tokolahi ʻoku nau fai ʻa e fakalakalaka!” ʻOkú ne tānaki mai: “Naʻá ku toki hiki ki ha kolo lahi ʻoku fute ʻe 9,000 (2,743 m) ki ʻolunga ʻi he ʻOtu Moʻunga ʻEnitesí. ʻOku laka hake ʻi he kakai ʻe toko 75,000 ʻoku nofo ʻi he kolo lahí ka ko e fakatahaʻanga pē ʻe taha. He feituʻu ngāue fua lahi moʻoni! ʻOku ou fiefia lahi ʻi heʻeku ngāue fakafaifekaú.”
NGAAHI POLE ʻOKU KAU KI AI
Ko e moʻoni, ko e ngāue ʻi ha fonua mulí ʻoku ʻomai ai ʻa e ngaahi pole mafatukituki. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku fetaulaki ʻa e toʻutupu ʻe niʻihi mo e ngaahi fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻanga naʻa mo e ki muʻa ke nau hikí. Ko Kayla mei he ʻIunaite Seteté, ʻokú ne fakamatala: “Ko e fakafeangai ʻikai lelei ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e fanga tokoua ʻuhinga lelei ʻi homau feituʻú naʻe fakalotosiʻi. Naʻe ʻikai ke nau mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻá ku loto ai ke hiki ki ha fonua muli ke tāimuʻa aí. ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, naʻe ʻai ai au ke u fifili, ‘ʻOku ou fai ʻa e fili totonú?’” Neongo ia, naʻe fili ʻa Kayla ke hiki. ʻOkú ne fakamatala: “Ko e ngaahi lotu lahi kia Sihova pea mo e ngaahi fetalanoaʻaki lōloa mo e fanga tokoua mo e fanga tuofāfine matuʻotuʻá naʻe tokoniʻi ai au ke u sio ʻoku tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova ha laumālie loto-lelei.”
Ki he tokolahi, ko hono ako ha lea foʻoú ko ha fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻanga ia. Ko Siobhan mei ʻAilani, ʻokú ne manatu: “Naʻe faingataʻa kia au ʻa e ʻikai malava ke fakamatalaʻi ʻeku fakakaukaú. Naʻe pau ke u ako ke kātaki, ako tōtōivi ʻa e leá, peá u kata pē au ʻiate au ʻi he taimi naʻá ku fai ai ha ngaahi fehālākí.” Ko Anna mei ʻEsitōnia, ʻokú ne tānaki mai: “Ko e anga ki he vela fakatalopikí, efuá, pea mo e ʻikai ha saoa mafaná naʻe ʻikai hano fakatataua ʻona ki hono ako ʻa e lea faka-Sipeiní. ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, naʻá ku ongoʻi hangē te u foʻí. Naʻe pau ke u ako ke tokangataha ki heʻeku fakalakalaká, kae ʻikai ko ʻeku ngaahi halá.”
ʻOua naʻa ngalo ʻa e pole ʻo e taʻelatá. Ko Jonathan mei he ʻIunaite Seteté, ʻokú ne fakahā: “Taimi nounou pē mei heʻeku aʻú naʻá ku hoko ʻo loto-siʻi koeʻuhí ko ʻeku mavahe mei hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻá mo e fāmilí. Ka naʻá ku ikuʻi ʻa e ngaahi ongoʻi ko iá ʻaki ʻeku hangataha ki heʻeku ako Tohi Tapu fakafoʻituituí mo e ngāue fakafaifekaú. ʻIkai fuoloa, ko e ngaahi hokosia fiefia naʻá ku maʻu ʻi he malaʻe malangá mo e ngaahi kaungāmeʻa foʻou naʻá ku maʻu ʻi he fakatahaʻangá naʻe tokoni ia kiate au ke u toe maʻu ʻeku fiefiá.”
Ko e toe pole ʻe taha ko e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e nofó. Ngalingali, ʻe ʻikai hangē ia ko e ngaahi meʻa kuó ke anga ki aí. Ko Beau mei Kānata, ʻokú ne tala mai: “ʻI ho fonua tupuʻangá, naʻá ke maʻu ʻaonga ai mei he ngaahi ngāue tefito peheé hangē ko e ʻuhila mo e vai takí. Ka ʻi heni, ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ení ʻoku moʻui mo mate tavale pē.” Ko e masivá, kovi ʻa e founga fefonongaʻakí, mo e ʻikai poto he lautohí ʻoku toe hoko ia ko ha meʻa anga-maheni ʻi he ngaahi fonua langalanga hake lahi. Ko Ines mei ʻAositulia, ʻokú ne fekuki mo e ngaahi tuʻunga pehē ʻaki ʻene tokangataha ki he ngaahi ʻulungaanga lelei ʻo e kakai ʻi he feituʻú. “ʻOku nau anga-talitali kakai ʻaupito, anga-ʻofa, fietokoni, mo anga-fakatōkilalo,” ko ʻene laú ia. “Kae hiliō he meʻa kotoa, ʻoku nau maʻu ha mahuʻingaʻia lahi ʻi he ako lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e ʻOtuá.”
KO HA “TABUAKI, E IKAI HA BOTU E FAA HAO IA KI AI”
Lolotonga ko e kau talavou kotoa ko eni ʻoku ngāue ʻi ʻEkuatoá kuo nau fai ha ngaahi feilaulau, ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻoku tokonaki ʻe Sihova “ʻo mahulu lahi atu ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē” kuo faifai ange ʻo nau ʻamanekiná. (ʻEf. 3:20) Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku nau ongoʻi kuo nau maʻu ha “tabuaki, e ikai ha botu e faa hao ia ki ai.” (Mal. 3:10, PM) Ko e anga eni ʻo ʻenau ongoʻi fekauʻaki mo ʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú:
Bruno: “Naʻá ku kamata ʻeku ngāue heni ʻi ʻEkuatoá ʻi he feituʻu fakalata ʻo e ʻAmasoní. Ki mui ai, naʻá ku tokoni ki hono fakalahi ʻo e ʻōfisi vaʻa ʻi ʻEkuatoá. ʻI he taimi ní ʻoku ou ngāue ʻi he Pētelí. ʻI ʻĪtali, naʻá ku fai ai ha fili ke fakamuʻomuʻa ʻa Sihova, pea ʻokú ne fakahoko moʻoni ʻeku holi ki ha moʻui fakafiefia mo kehekehe ʻi heʻene ngāué.”
Beau: “Kuó u tupu ʻo toe ofi lahi ange kia Sihova koeʻuhí ʻi ʻEkuatoa ʻoku lava ai ke u līʻoa atu hoku taimí kotoa ki he ngaahi ngāue fakalaumālié. ʻI he taimi tatau, kuó u maʻu ha toe tāpuaki ʻo e fononga ki he ngaahi feituʻu fakalata—ʻa e meʻa naʻá ku loto maʻu pē ke faí.”
Anna: “Naʻe ʻikai te u fakakaukau naʻe malava kiate au, ko ha tuofefine teʻeki mali, ke maʻu ha moʻui hangē ko ia ko ha misinalé. Ka ʻi he taimi ní ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku malava ia. Fakamālō ki he tāpuaki ʻa Sihová, ʻoku ou fiefia lahi ai ʻi hono ngaohi ha kau ākonga, langa ha ngaahi Fale Fakatahaʻanga, pea ʻai ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa foʻou.”
Elke: “ʻI hoku fonua tupuʻangá ʻa ʻAositulia, naʻá ku faʻa lotu ai kia Sihova ki ha ako Tohi Tapu pē ʻe taha. ʻI hení, ʻoku ou maʻu ʻa e ako Tohi Tapu ʻe 15! ʻI he sio ki he ngaahi fofonga fiefia ʻo e kau ako fakalakalaká ʻoku ʻomai ai kiate au ʻa e fiemālie lahi ʻaupito.”
Joel: “Ko ha fuʻu hokosia lahi ia ke aʻu ki ha feituʻu taʻeʻiloa ke ngāue ai kia Sihova. ʻOkú ke ako ai ke falala kiate ia ʻo toe lahi ʻaupito ange, pea ʻoku fakafiefia ke sio ki heʻene tāpuakiʻi hoʻo ngaahi feingá! ʻI hoku ʻuluaki taʻu heni mei he ʻIunaite Seteté, ko e kulupu ʻoku ou lolotonga ngāue aí naʻe tupu mei he kau malanga ʻe toko 6 ki he toko 21. Naʻa mau maʻu ʻa e kau maʻu Fakamanatu ʻe toko 110.”
