ʻI he ngaahi founga fē naʻe hoko ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ko ha kau fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová?
Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá?
ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakahaaʻi ʻoku tau houngaʻia ʻi he monū ʻo e hoko ʻo uiʻaki ʻa e huafa māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá?

ʻOKU ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e hoko ko ha fakamoʻoní? ʻOku fakamatala ʻa e tikisinale ʻe taha ʻo pehē ko ha fakamoʻoni ko ha “tokotaha ia ʻokú ne sio ʻi ha meʻa naʻe hoko pea līpooti ʻa e meʻa ko iá.” ʻI ʻAfilika Tonga, kuo pulusi ai ha nusipepa laka hake ʻi he taʻu ʻe 160 ʻoku ui ko e The Witness. Ko ha hingoa feʻungamālie ia koeʻuhí ko e taumuʻa ʻo ha nusipepa ke līpooti totonu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hokó. Ko e ʻētita naʻá ne kamataʻi ʻa e nusipepa ko ení naʻá ne palōmesi ʻe fakahaaʻi ai “ʻa e moʻoní, ʻa e moʻoní kakato, pea ʻikai ha toe meʻa ka ko e moʻoní.”
2 Ko e meʻa fakamamahí, ko e ngaahi maʻuʻanga ongoongo ʻa e māmaní kuo ʻikai līpooti totonu ai ʻa e lahi ʻo e ngaahi ongoongo ʻoku hokó. Ko e moʻoni kuo ʻikai ke tala mai ai ʻa e moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e ʻOtuá mo e meʻa kuó ne faí. Ka ko Sihova, ʻa e Pule aoniu ʻo e ʻunivēsí, ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakafalala ki he ngaahi maʻuʻanga ongoongo ʻa e māmaní. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá fakafou ʻi heʻene palōfita ko ʻIsikelí: “ʻE ʻilo ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga ko Sihova au, ko e Tapuha ʻo Isileli.” (ʻIsi. 39:7) Ko Sihova ʻoku ʻi ai ʻene Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻe toko valu miliona nai ʻa ia ʻoku nau tala ki he kakai takatakai he māmaní fekauʻaki mo ia. Ko e kongakau ko eni ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoní ʻoku nau tala ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e meʻa kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtuá maʻá e kakai ʻi he kuohilí mo e meʻa ʻokú ne fai he taimi ní. ʻOku nau toe tala foki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo kuó ne talaʻofa ke fai ʻi he kahaʻú. ʻI he ʻAisea 43:10, ʻoku tau lau ai: “Ko kimoutolu ʻa e kau fakamoʻoni aʻaku,” ko e fanongonongo ia ʻa Sihová, “mo e sevaniti aʻaku kuo u fili.” ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau ʻai ai ʻa e ngāue fakamalangá ko e ngāue mahuʻinga taha ia ʻi heʻetau moʻuí, ʻoku tau fakamoʻoniʻi ai ko e moʻoni ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova kitautolu.
3, 4. (a) Naʻe kamata ʻanefē hono ui ʻa e Kau Ako Tohi Tapú ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová, pea naʻe anga-fēfē ʻenau ongoʻi fekauʻaki mo e hingoa foʻou ko ení? (Sio ki he ʻuluaki fakatātā ʻi he kupú ni.) (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ongo fehuʻi te tau lāulea ki ai he taimi ní?
3 Ko e huafa ʻo Sihová ʻe tuʻu ʻo taʻengata koeʻuhí ko ia ʻa e “Tuʻi ʻo ʻitānití.” Pea naʻá ne pehē ʻe ia tonu: “Ko hoku hingoa ia ʻo taʻengata, pea ko hoku fakamanatu ia ki he toʻutangata mo e toʻutangata.” (1 Tīm. 1:17; ʻEki. 3:15; fakafehoanaki mo e Koheleti 2:16.) Ke hoko ʻo uiʻaki ʻa e huafa ʻo Sihová ko e monū lahi taha ia ʻe lava ke tau maʻu. ʻI he 1931, naʻe fiefia lahi ʻa e Kau Ako Tohi Tapú ʻi heʻenau kamata ngāueʻaki ʻa e hingoa Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová. Naʻe faitohi ʻa e tokolahi ʻo kinautolu ke fakahaaʻi ʻenau houngaʻia ʻi he liliu ko ení. Naʻe tohi ʻa e fakatahaʻanga ʻe taha ʻi Kānata ʻo pehē naʻe ʻai ʻe he hingoa foʻoú kinautolu ke nau fakapapauʻi lahi ange ke moʻui ʻi ha founga ʻe ʻoatu ai ʻa e fakahīkihikí kia Sihova.

KAU FAKAMOʻONI ʻA E ʻOTUÁ ʻI HE KUOHILÍ
5, 6. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻa ʻIsilelí fekauʻaki mo Sihová? (e) Ko e hā naʻe toe fiemaʻu ke fai ʻe he ngaahi mātuʻa ʻIsilelí, pea ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ki he ngaahi mātuʻa he ʻaho ní ke nau fai ʻa e meʻa tataú?
5 Naʻe fili ʻe Sihova ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsilelí ke hoko ko ʻene kau fakamoʻoni. Ko e ʻIsileli taki taha naʻe ʻi ai hono fatongia ke fakamoʻoni fekauʻaki mo ia. (ʻAi. 43:10) Ko e fakatātaá, naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻá ʻaki hono akoʻi ʻenau fānaú fekauʻaki mo e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he kuohilí. Naʻe fakahinohino ʻe Sihova ki he ngaahi mātuʻá ke akoʻi ʻenau fānaú fekauʻaki mo e Pāsová. Naʻá ne tala kia kinautolu: “Ka faifai pea lea kiate kimoutolu ʻe hoʻomou fanau, ʻo pehe, Ko e ha ʻa e feinga-ngaue ni kiate kimautolu? pea te mou tali, Ko e feilaulau Pasova ia kia Sihova, koeʻuhi ko ʻene lakai ʻa e ngaahi fale ʻo haʻa Isileli ʻi Isipite, ʻi heʻene tautea ʻa e kau Isipite, ka ne fakahaofi hotau ngaahi fale.” (ʻEki. 12:26, 27) Naʻe fakamatala ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻá ʻo pehē naʻe fakafisi ʻa Felo ke tuku ange ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nau ʻalu ki he toafá ʻo lotu kia Sihova. Naʻe pehē ʻe Felo: “Ko hai ʻa Sihova ke u tokanga ai ki heʻene lea, ʻo tuku atu ʻa Isileli?” (ʻEki. 5:2) Naʻe tala ʻe he ngaahi mātuʻá ki heʻenau fānaú ʻa e founga naʻe tali ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e fehuʻi ʻa Feló pea fakahaaʻi ki he tokotaha kotoa ko Ia ʻa e Māfimafi-Aoniú. Naʻá ne ʻohifo ʻa e mala ʻe hongofulu ki ʻIsipite pea fakahaofi ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí mei he kau tau ʻIsipité ʻi he Tahi Kulokulá. Naʻe sio ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ko Sihova ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní pea ʻokú ne fai maʻu pē ki heʻene ngaahi talaʻofá.
6 Naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ko ha monū ia ke nau hoko ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova. Naʻa nau tala ki heʻenau fānaú pea ki ha kau tamaioʻeiki pē naʻe ngāue ʻi honau ngaahi ʻapí fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo kuo fai ʻe Sihová. Naʻe toe ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí naʻe fiemaʻu ke tauhi ʻenau tōʻongá ke māʻoniʻoni. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova: “Te mou maʻoniʻoni; he ʻoku ou maʻoniʻoni, ʻa au Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.” Naʻe pau ke akoʻi ʻe he ngaahi mātuʻa ʻIsilelí ʻenau fānaú ke nau hoko ʻo māʻoniʻoni, ʻa ia, ko e moʻui ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa Sihová. (Liv. 19:2; Teu. 6:6, 7) Kuo pau ke fai ʻe he ngaahi mātuʻa he ʻaho ní ʻa e meʻa tatau. Kuo pau ke nau akoʻi ʻenau fānaú ke moʻui ʻi ha founga ʻe ʻoatu ai ʻa e lāngilangí ki he huafa lāngilangiʻia ʻo e ʻOtuá.—Lau ʻa e Palōveepi 1:8; ʻEfesō 6:4.
7. (a) ʻI he taimi naʻe talangofua ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí kia Sihová, ko e hā naʻe lava ke sio ki ai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga takatakai kia kinautolú? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e fatongia ʻoku maʻu ʻe he faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau fakafofongaʻi ʻa Sihová?
7 ʻI he taimi naʻe talangofua ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ki he ʻOtuá, naʻá ne tāpuakiʻi kinautolu. Ko hono olá, ko e ngaahi puleʻanga takatakai kia kinautolú naʻe lava ke nau sio naʻe maluʻi ʻe Sihova hono kakaí. (Teu. 28:10) Ka ko e meʻa fakamamahí, ʻi he lahi taha ʻo e hisitōlia ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí, naʻa nau talangataʻa kia Sihova. Naʻa nau lotu ki he ngaahi ʻaitoli, ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Kēnaní. Hangē ko e ngaahi ʻotua ko iá, naʻe hoko ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻo anga-fakamamahi. Naʻa nau feilaulauʻaki ʻenau fānaú tonu pea ngaohikoviʻi ʻa e masivá. Ko ʻenau faʻifaʻitakiʻanga koví ʻoku akoʻi mai ai kia kitautolu ha lēsoni mahuʻinga. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau faʻifaʻitaki kia Sihova pea hoko ʻo māʻoniʻoni koeʻuhí ʻoku tau fakafofongaʻi ia, ʻa e Tokotaha Māʻoniʻoni Tahá.
“VAKAI ʻOKU OU NGAUE KI HA MEʻA FOʻOU”
8. Ko e hā naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia ʻAisea ke ne faí, pea naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa ʻAiseá?
8 Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻAisea ke ne fakatokanga ki he kau ʻIsilelí naʻe ʻamanaki ke Ne fakaʻauha ʻa Selusalema, ʻa honau kolomuʻá, pea fakaʻatā Hono kakaí ke taki pōpula. Naʻe tomuʻa tala foki ʻe Sihova naʻe ʻamanaki ke ne fai “ha meʻa foʻou” pea fakatauʻatāinaʻi hono kakaí mei he nofo pōpulá ʻi ha founga fakaofo. (ʻAi. 43:19) Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Sihova ʻe ʻikai fakatomala ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí, ka naʻá ne kei tala kia ʻAisea ke hokohoko atu ʻene fakatokanga kia kinautolú. Ko e ʻuluaki vahe ʻe ono ʻo e tohi ʻa ʻAiseá ko e lahi tahá ko e ngaahi fakatokanga fekauʻaki mo hono fakaʻauha ʻo Selusalemá. Naʻe loto ʻa ʻAisea ke ne ʻilo ʻa e fuoloa ʻe hokohoko atu ai ʻa e talangataʻa ʻa e puleʻangá kia Sihová. Naʻe tali ange ʻe he ʻOtuá: “Kaeʻoua ke lala ʻa e ngaahi kolo, ʻo ʻikai ha nofo ai; mo e ngaahi fale, kae ʻikai ha tangata.”—Lau ʻa e ʻAisea 6:8-11.
9. (a) Naʻe hoko moʻoni ʻanefē ʻa e kikite ʻa ʻAisea fekauʻaki mo Selusalemá? (e) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ko e hā ʻa e fakatokanga ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau tokanga ki aí?
9 Laka hake ʻi he taʻu ʻe 45, naʻe fakatokanga ʻa ʻAisea ki he kau ʻIsilelí fekauʻaki mo e fakaʻauha naʻe teu ke hokó. Naʻá ne kamata kikite ʻi he taʻu fakaʻosi ʻo e pule ʻa Tuʻi ʻŪsaiá, ʻi he 778 ki muʻa ʻia Kalaisí, pea hokohoko atu ʻo aʻu nai ki he taʻu 732 ki muʻa ʻia Kalaisí, lolotonga ʻa e pule ʻa Tuʻi Hesekaiá. Hili iá, naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e fakatokanga ʻa Sihova ki hono kakaí ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu 607 ki muʻa ʻia Kalaisí, ʻi he taimi naʻe fakaʻauha ai ʻa Selusalemá. Ko ia naʻe tomuʻa fakatokanga ki he kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi fekauʻaki mo e meʻa naʻe ʻamanaki ke hokó. ʻI he ʻahó ni, kuo ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻene kakaí ke fakatokanga ki he niʻihi kehé fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ʻe hoko ʻi he kahaʻú. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu lahi, kuo tala ʻe he Taua Leʻo ki he kakaí ʻoku vavé ni ke ʻikai toe pule ʻa Sētane ki he māmaní pea ʻe kamata pule mai ʻa Kalaisi ki he māmaní.—Fkh. 20:1-3, 6.
10, 11. Ko e hā ʻa e fakahoko ʻo e kikite ʻa ʻAiseá naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he kau ʻIsileli ʻi Pāpiloné?
10 Naʻe hao ʻa e kau Siu ʻe niʻihi ʻi hono fakaʻauha ʻo Selusalemá. Naʻa nau talangofua ki he fakahinohino ʻa Sihova ke tukulolo ki he kau Pāpiloné pea naʻe taki pōpula kinautolu ki Pāpilone. (Sel. 27:11, 12) ʻI he taʻu ʻe 70 ki mui ai, ko ha tokosiʻi ʻo kinautolu naʻa nau fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa hono fakahoko ʻo ha toe kikite ʻe taha ʻa ʻAisea: “Ko e folofola eni ʻa Sihova ko homou Koeli, ko e Tapuha ʻo Isileli: Koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ko ia kuo u fekau atu ki Papilone, pea kuo u ʻohifo honau kotoa.”—ʻAi. 43:14.
11 Naʻe fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻa e kikite ko iá ʻi ha founga fakaofo. ʻI he pō ʻe taha ʻi ʻOkatopa ʻo e taʻu 539 ki muʻa ʻia Kalaisí, ko e tuʻi ʻo Pāpiloné mo hono kau houʻeikí naʻa nau fai ha kātoanga ʻi hono fakalāngilangiʻi honau ngaahi ʻotuá. Naʻe aʻu ʻo nau inu ʻi he ngaahi ipu naʻe kaihaʻasi mei he temipale ʻo Sihová. Ka ko e pō tatau ko iá, naʻe ʻohofi ʻe Tuʻi Kōlesi mo ʻene kau taú ʻa Pāpilone. Naʻa nau puleʻi ʻa e koló pea ikunaʻi ʻa e ʻEmipaea Pāpiloné. ʻI he taʻu 538 pe 537 ki muʻa ʻia Kalaisí, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Kōlesi ki he kau Siú ke nau foki ki Selusalema pea toe langa ʻa e temipale ʻo e ʻOtuá. Pea ʻi heʻenau fokí, naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Sihova naʻa nau hao. Naʻe hoko kotoa eni ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e kikite ʻa ʻAiseá. ʻI he taimi naʻe faai atu ai ʻo sio ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ki hono toe langa ʻa e temipale ʻi Selusalemá, naʻa nau fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa e moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ia ko Sihova ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní pea ʻokú ne fai maʻu pē ki heʻene ngaahi talaʻofá. Naʻe ui ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e kau Siu ko ia naʻe foki ki Selusalemá “ko e kakai kuo u ngaohi maʻaku, te nau aʻau hoku fakamalo.”—ʻAi. 43:21; 44:26-28.
12, 13. (a) ʻI he taimi naʻe foki ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke toe langa ʻa e temipalé, ko hai naʻe toe kau fakataha mo kinautolu? (e) Ko e hā kuo pau ke fai he taimí ni ʻe he “fanga sipi kehe,” pea ko e hā ʻe lava ke nau fakatuʻamelie atu ki aí?
12 ʻI he taimi naʻe foki ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke toe langa ʻa e temipalé, naʻe kau fakataha mo kinautolu ha kau muli ʻe laui afe ʻi he lotu kia Sihová. Ki mui ai, naʻe toe tokolahi ange ʻa e kau muli naʻe kau fakataha mo kinautolú. (ʻĒsela 2:58, 64, 65; ʻĒseta 8:17) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ko e “fuʻu kakai lahi” ʻo e “fanga sipi kehe” ʻa Sīsuú ʻoku nau poupou mateaki ki he kau Kalisitiane pani, ʻa ia ʻoku faʻuʻaki ʻa e “ʻIsileli ʻa e ʻOtuá.” (Fkh. 7:9, 10; Sione 10:16; Kal. 6:16) Fakatouʻosi ʻa e kau paní mo e fanga sipi kehé kuo nau maʻu ʻa e monū ko hono ui ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová.
13 ʻI he māmani foʻoú, ko e fuʻu kakai lahí te nau maʻu ha faingamālie fakaofo. Te nau tala ki he faʻahinga kuo toetuʻú pe naʻe fēfē ʻa e hoko ko e taha ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosi ʻo e māmani ʻo Sētané. Ke maʻu ʻa e monū ko eni ʻi he kahaʻú, kuo pau ke tau nofoʻaki māʻoniʻoni. Neongo ʻoku tau feinga mālohi ke moʻui ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa Sihová, ʻoku tau fai ʻa e ngaahi fehālaaki ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. Ko ia ʻoku tau fiemaʻu fakaʻaho ke kole ʻa e fakamolemole ʻa Sihová. Kapau te tau nofoʻaki māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku tau fakahaaʻi ai ʻetau houngaʻia ʻi hono fakaʻatā ʻe Sihova ke tau fakafofongaʻi iá.—Lau ʻa e 1 Sione 1:8, 9.
ʻUHINGA ʻO E HUAFA ʻO E ʻOTUÁ
14. ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e huafa Sihová?
14 Ke mahinoʻi lelei ange ʻa e monū lahi ko ia ʻo e hoko ʻo uiʻaki ʻa e huafa ʻo Sihová, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau ʻilo ʻa e ʻuhinga hono huafá. Ko e huafa Sihová ʻoku haʻu ia mei he foʻi lea faka-Hepelū ʻa ia ʻe lava ke liliu ko e “ke hoko” pea ʻe lava ke ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngāue. Ko ia ai, ʻoku hā mahino ko e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻuhingá ko e “ʻOkú Ne Fakatupunga ke Hoko.” Ko e huafa Sihová ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau mahinoʻi pe ko hai ia.

15 Naʻe fakamatalaʻi lahi ange ʻe Sihova ʻa e ʻuhinga hono huafá kia Mōsese. ʻI he taimi naʻe fekauʻi atu ai ia ʻe Sihova ke fakatauʻatāinaʻi Hono kakaí mei ʻIsipité, naʻá ne tala kia Mōsese: “TE U HOKO KO E MEʻA ʻOKU OU FILI KE HOKO KI AÍ.” Naʻe tānaki atu ʻe Sihova: “Ko e meʻa eni te ke leaʻaki ki he kau ʻIsilelí, ‘ko TE U HOKO kuó ne fekauʻi mai au kiate kimoutolú.’” (ʻEki. 3:14, NW) Ko ia ʻe hoko ʻa Sihova ki ha meʻa pē ʻoku fiemaʻu ke fakahokoʻaki ʻene taumuʻá. Ki he kau ʻIsilelí, naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ha meʻa pē naʻe fiemaʻu ke hoko ai ko ha Tokotaha-Faifakahaofi, ko ha Tokotaha-Maluʻi, ko ha Tataki, mo ha Tokotaha-Tokonaki ʻo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa nau fiemaʻú.
