“Vakai, hono ʻikai lelei, pea hono ʻikai sai ke nonofo ha kainga [“ngaahi tokoua,” NW], ʻo fakataha foki!”—SĀME 133:1.
1. Ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e ngaahi fāmili lahi he ʻaho ní?
KO E fāmilí ʻoku ʻi he tuʻunga tauhaʻa ʻi he ʻahó ni. ʻI he ngaahi fāmili lahi, ʻoku ʻi he tuʻunga ofi ke movete ʻa e ngaahi haʻi ʻo e nofo malí. ʻOku hoko ʻa e vete malí ʻo failahia ʻaupito, pea ʻoku hokosia ʻa e mamahi lahi ʻe he fānau tokolahi ʻa e ngaahi hoa mali ʻoku veté. ʻOku laui miliona ʻa e ngaahi fāmili ʻoku ʻikai fiefia pea ʻoku taʻefāʻūtaha. Ka neongo ia, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e fāmili ia ʻe taha ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ʻa e fiefia moʻoní mo e fāʻūtaha moʻoní. Ko e fāmili fakaʻuniveesi ia ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtuá. ʻI aí, ʻoku taʻefaʻalaua ai ʻa e kau ʻāngelo taʻehāmai ʻoku nau fakahoko honau ngaahi ngafa kuo vaheʻi angé ʻo fehoanaki mo e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Sāme 103:20, 21) Ka ʻoku ʻi ai ha fāmili ʻi he māmaní ʻoku nau fiefia ʻi he fāʻūtaha peheé?
2, 3. (a) Ko hai ʻa e konga he taimí ni ʻo e fāmili fakaʻuniveesi ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ko e hā ʻoku lava ke tau fakatatau ki ai ʻa e kotoa ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova he ʻaho ní? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ongo fehuʻi te tau fetalanoaʻaki aí?
2 Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻaposetolo ko Paulá: “ʻOku ou peluki hoku tui ki he Tamai, ʻa ia ʻoku tauhingoa ki ai ʻa e ngaahi hohoko ʻo e famili kotoa pe ʻi langi mo mamani.” (ʻEfesō 3:14, 15) Ko e ngaahi hohoko ʻo e fāmili kotoa pē ʻi he māmaní ʻoku nau moʻuaʻaki honau hingoá ki he ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ko e Tokotaha-Fakatupú ia. Neongo ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha ngaahi fāmili fakaetangata ʻi hēvani, ʻi he lea fakaefakatātaá ʻoku mali ʻa Sihova mo ʻene kautaha fakahēvaní, pea ʻe maʻu ʻe Sīsū ha fefine mali fakalaumālie ʻo fāʻūtaha mo ia ʻi he ngaahi langí. (ʻAisea 54:5; Luke 20:34, 35; 1 Kolinitō 15:50; 2 Kolinitō 11:2) Ko e kau pani anga-tonu ʻi māmaní ʻoku nau hoko he taimí ni ko e konga ʻo e fāmili fakaʻuniveesi ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ko e “fanga sipi kehe” ʻa Sīsuú, ʻoku nau ʻamanaki ki he māmaní, ko hono kau mēmipa ia ʻoku ʻamanekiná. (Sione 10:16; Loma 8:14-17; The Watchtower, Sanuali 15, 1996, peesi 31) Kae kehe, ko e kotoa ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻoku lava ke fakatatau ia ki ha fāmili fāʻūtaha ʻi māmani lahi.
3 Ko ha konga koe ʻo e fāmili fakavahaʻapuleʻanga fakaofo ʻo e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá? Kapau ʻokú ke kau ai, ʻokú ke fiefia ʻi he taha ʻo e ngaahi tāpuaki lahi taha ʻoku malava ki ha taha pē ke ne maʻu. ʻE fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he laui miliona, ko e fāmili ʻo Sihova ʻi māmani lahí—ʻa ʻene kautaha hā maí—ko ha feituʻu moʻui ia ʻo e melino mo e fāʻūtaha ʻi ha toafa fakamāmani ʻo e fetuʻusí mo e taʻefāʻūtahá. ʻE anga-fēfē nai hono fakamatalaʻi ʻa e fāʻūtaha ʻa e fāmili ʻo Sihova ʻi māmani lahí? Pea ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku tokoni ki he fāʻūtaha peheé?

Sio loto atu kiate ia mo ʻene haʻapé ʻi heʻene hivá: “Vakai, hono ʻikai lelei, pea hono ʻikai sai ke nonofo ha kainga [“ngaahi tokoua,” NW] ʻo fakataha foki! ʻOku hange ko e lolo lelei naʻe lingi ki he ʻulu, naʻe hifo ki he kava e, ki he kava ʻo Elone; naʻe hifo ki he kola ʻo hono kofu; hange ko e hahau ʻo Heamone, naʻe hifo ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Saione: he ko e potu ia naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ai ʻe Sihova hono tapuekina, ko e moʻui ʻo taʻengata.”—Sāme 133:1-3.

Naʻe hoko ha ola lelei kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau fakatahatahá, hangē ha lolo pani fakatupu-ongoʻi-foʻou ʻoku ʻi ai ha ʻalaha ngangatu fakahōifuá. ʻI he taimi naʻe lilingi ai ʻa e lolo peheé ʻi he ʻulu ʻo ʻĒloné, naʻe tafe hifo ʻi hono kavá pea ʻalu hifo ki he kola ʻo hono kofú. Ki he kau ʻIsilelí, ko e hoko ʻo fakatahatahá naʻe maʻu ai ha tākiekina lelei ʻa ia naʻe hūhū ki he kakai fakalūkufua naʻe fakatahatahá. Naʻe fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi taʻefemahinoʻakí, pea tokoni ki he fāʻūtahá. ʻOku ʻi he fāmili ʻo Sihova ʻi māmani lahi he ʻaho ní ʻa e fāʻūtaha meimei tatau. Ko e feohi tuʻumaʻú kuo ʻi ai ha ola lelei fakalaumālie ki hono kau mēmipá. ʻOku toʻo atu ha faʻahinga taʻefemahinoʻaki pē pe ngaahi faingataʻa ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e akonaki ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Mātiu 5:23, 24; 18:15-17) ʻOku houngaʻia lahi ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová ʻi he fefakalototoʻaʻaki ʻoku tupu mei heʻenau fāʻūtaha fakatokouá.

Ko ia ai naʻe tonu ʻa e lea ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé ʻo fekauʻaki mo e “hahau ʻo Heamone, naʻe hifo ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo Saione.” Ko ha fakamanatu lelei ē ʻo e tākiekina fakatupu-ongoʻi-foʻou ʻa ia ʻoku tokoni ki he fāʻūtaha ʻa e fāmili ʻo e kau lotu ʻa Sihová!
7 Ki muʻa ke fokotuʻu ʻa e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané, ko Saione, pe Selusalema, naʻe hoko ko e senitā ʻo e founga-lotu moʻoní.

(Sione 3:16; 18:37) Ko e fāʻūtaha moʻoni ko ia naʻe pau ke ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kau mēmipá, naʻe fakamahino ia ʻi he taimi naʻe lotu ai ʻa Sīsuú: “Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko kinautolu ni pē ʻoku kau ki ai ʻeku kole, ka ʻoku kau foki kiate kinautolu ʻe tui pikitai kiate au ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻenau malanga.

Naʻe hoko ʻení koeʻuhi naʻa nau talangofua ki he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá pea mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻa Sīsuú. Ko e fakakaukau tatau pē ko iá ʻoku hoko ko e ʻuhinga lahi ia ʻo e fāʻūtaha ʻa e fāmili ʻo Sihova ʻi māmani lahi he ʻaho ní.
9. Ko e hā ʻa e ngafa ʻoku fakahoko ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻi he fāʻūtaha ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová?
9 Ko e toe ʻuhinga ʻe taha ʻokú ne fakafāʻūtahaʻi ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová ko ʻetau maʻu ko ia ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, pe ivi ngāue ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ne fakaivia kitautolu ke mahino ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e Folofola ʻa Sihová ʻoku fakahaaʻi maí pea tauhi ai kiate ia ʻi he fāʻūtaha. (Sione 16:12, 13) ʻOku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he laumālié ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi ngāue fakakakano taʻefakafāʻūtaha ko ia ko e fetuʻusi, meheka, feʻiteʻitani, mo e fakakikihi. Ko hono kehé, ʻoku hanga ʻe he laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo fakatupu ʻiate kitautolu ʻa e fua fakafāʻūtaha ko ia ko e ʻofa, loto-fiefia, melino, kātaki fuoloa, anga-ʻofa, anga-lelei, tui, anga-malū, mo e māpuleʻi-kita.—Kalētia 5:19-23.

10 Ko e ngaahi mēmipa ʻo ha fāmili fāʻūtaha ʻoku nau feʻofaʻaki pea ʻoku nau fiefia ke fakatahataha. ʻI hono fakatatau atu ki aí, ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻi he fāmili fāʻūtaha ʻo e kau lotu ʻa Sihová ʻoku nau ʻofa ʻiate ia, ʻi hono ʻAló, pea mo e kaungā-tuí. (Maʻake 12:30; Sione 21:15-17; 1 Sione 4:21) Hangē pē ko e fiefia ʻa ha fāmili fakakakano anga-ʻofa ʻi haʻanau kai fakataha, ʻoku fiefia ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku līʻoa ki he ʻOtuá ke nau ʻi ai ʻi he ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané, ngaahi ʻasemipilií, mo e ngaahi fakataha-lahí ke nau maʻu ʻa e ʻaonga mei he feohi leleí mo e meʻakai lelei ʻaupito fakalaumālié. (Mātiu 24:45-47; Hepelū 10:24, 25) Ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kulupu Pule ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová naʻe tuʻo taha ʻene pehē fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni: “Kiate aú, ko e fakataha mo e ngaahi tokouá ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakafiefia lahi taha ʻi he moʻuí pea ko ha matavai ʻo e fakalototoʻa. ʻOku ou saiʻia ke u kau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ʻuluaki kau aʻu ki he Fale Fakatahaʻangá, pea kau ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau mavahe fakamuimuí, kapau ʻe malava. ʻOku ou ongoʻi ha fiefia ʻi loto ʻi he taimi ʻoku ou talanoa ai mo e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI he taimi ʻoku ou ʻi honau lotolotongá aí ʻoku ou ongoʻi fakalataʻia fakataha mo hoku fāmilí.” ʻOku pehē ʻa e anga ʻo hoʻo ongoʻí?—Sāme 27:4.

Oku monuia ae tagata oku ne manavahe kia Jihova, mo ne fiefia lahi i he ene gaahi fekau.”—Sāme 112:1, PM.
