Ko Hono Maʻu ʻa e Ikunaʻi ʻo e Vaivaiʻanga Fakaetangatá
“Ko hono tokangaʻi ʻo e kakanó ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ko e mate.”—LOMA 8:6, NW.
1. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e vakai ʻa e niʻihi ki he sino fakaetangatá, pea ko e hā ʻa e fehuʻi ʻoku taau ke fai ha lāulea ki aí?
“TEU fakamalo kiate koe; he oku fakamanavahe mo fakaofo hoku gaohi.” (Sāme 139:14, PM) Ko e hiva ia ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāme ko Tēvitá he lolotonga ʻene fakalaulauloto ki he taha ʻo e ngaahi fakatupu ʻa Sihová—ʻa e sino fakaetangatá. ʻI he ʻikai ke fai ha fakahīkihiki makatuʻunga lelei peheé, ʻoku fakakaukau ʻa e kau faiako fakalotu ia ʻe niʻihi ko e sinó ko e feituʻu toitoiʻanga ia pea mo e meʻangāue ʻa e angahalá. Kuo ui ʻa e sinó “ko e teunga fakapuli ʻo e taʻetokangaʻí, ko e makatuʻunga ʻo e anga-koví, ko e ngaahi haʻi ʻo e fakameleʻí, ko e finaki fakapoʻuli, ko e moʻui honge ifo, ko e ʻangaʻanga moʻui, ko e fonualoto ʻoku ʻalu holo.” ʻOku moʻoni ai ʻa e lea ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Ki hoku kakano, ʻoku ʻikai ke fale ai ha lelei ʻe taha.” (Loma 7:18) Ka ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻení kuo tau moʻua ʻi ha sino angahalaʻia ʻo ʻikai ha toe ʻamanaki?
2. (a) Ko e hā ʻoku ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa e “tokangaʻi ʻo e kakano”? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e fepaki ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e “kakano” mo e “laumalie” ʻoku hoko ʻi loto ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa ia ʻoku nau loto ke fakahōifuaʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá?
2 ʻOku lave ʻa e ngaahi Konga Tohitapú ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ki he sino fakaetangatá ko e “kakano.” (1 Tuʻi 21:27) ʻOku nau toe ngāueʻaki ʻa e “kakano” ke ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e tangatá ʻi hono tuʻunga taʻehaohaoa ko ha hako angahalaʻia ʻo e tokotaha angatuʻu ko ʻĀtamá. (Efeso 2:3; Sāme 51:5; Loma 5:12) Ko ʻetau tukufakaholo meiate iá kuo tupu ai ʻa e ‘vaivai ʻa e kakanó.’ (Loma 6:19) Pea naʻe fakatokanga mai ʻa Paula: “Ko hono tokangaʻi ʻo e kakanó ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ko e mate.” (Loma 8:6, NW) ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e “tokangaʻi [pehē] ʻo e kakanó” ki he hoko ʻo puleʻi mo ueʻi ʻe he ngaahi holi ʻa e kakano kuo hingá. (1 Sione 2:16) Ko ia kapau ʻoku tau feinga ke fakahōifuaʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e fepaki tuʻumaʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo hotau tuʻunga fakalaumālié pea mo hotau natula angahalaʻiá ʻokú ne ʻomai taʻemālōlō ʻa e tenge kiate kitautolu ke fakahoko “ʻa e ngaahi ngaue ʻa kakano.” (Kaletia 5:17-23; 1 Pita 2:11) ʻI he hili ʻa hono fakamatalaʻi ʻa e fepaki fakamamahi ko ʻeni ʻi loto ʻiate iá, naʻe kalanga ʻa Paula: “ʻOiaue! siʻi toki malaʻia kita! ko hai tū te ne hamusi au mei he sino ʻoku mei ai ʻa e mate ni?” (Loma 7:24) Naʻe hoko ʻa Paula ko ha tokotaha maʻukovia ʻe he fakatauelé ʻo ʻikai ha maluʻi? ʻOku tali mai ʻaki ʻe he Tohitapú ha ʻikai taʻetoeveiveiua!
Ko e Moʻoni ʻo e Fakatauelé mo e Angahalá
3. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e vakai ʻa e tokolahi ki he angahalá mo e fakatauelé, ka ʻoku anga-fēfē ʻa e fakatokanga ʻa e Tohitapú ki ha faʻahinga fakakaukau peheé?
3 Ki he tokolahi ʻi he ʻahó ni, ko ha foʻi fakakaukau ʻikai ala tali ʻa e angahalá ia. ʻOku ngāue fakakataʻaki ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e “angahala” ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha foʻi lea motuʻa ke ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e fanga kiʻi tōnounou iiki ʻa e tangatá. ʻOku ʻikai te nau fakatokangaʻi “kuo pau ke tau matuʻaki eʻa kotoa pe ʻi he ʻao ʻo e fakamāuʻanga ʻo Kalaisi; koeʻuhi ke taki taha maʻu hono totongi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne fai ʻi he sino, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa naʻa ne fai, ʻene lelei pe kovi.” (2 Kolinito 5:10) ʻOku lea fāinoa ʻaki nai ʻe he niʻihi: “ʻOku lava ke u talitekeʻi ha faʻahinga meʻa pē tuku kehe ʻa e fakatauelé!” ʻOku nofo ʻa e kakai ʻe niʻihi ʻi ha tōʻonga fakafonua ʻoku nōfoʻi ki he fakatōliʻaʻi vavé, tatau ai pē pe ʻoku kaunga ki he meʻakai, fehokotaki fakasino, vaʻinga, pe lavameʻa. ʻOku ʻikai ngata pē ʻi heʻenau fiemaʻu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ka ʻoku nau fiemaʻu ia ʻi he taimí ni! (Luke 15:12) ʻOku ʻikai te nau sio ke toe mamaʻo atu mei he fiefia taupotu maí ki he fiefia ʻi he kahaʻú ʻo e “moʻui moʻoni.” (1 Timote 6:19) Kae kehe, ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe he Tohitapú kitautolu ke tau fakakaukau fakalelei pea sio-mamaʻo atu, ʻai ke ʻataʻatā maʻu pē mei ha faʻahinga meʻa te ne maumauʻi fakalaumālie pe ʻi ha tuʻunga kehe kitautolú. ʻOku pehē ʻe ha palōvepi fakamānavaʻi: “Ko e fakapoto—sio ki he kovi—toi: ko e hehemangofua—laka atu—moʻua ai.”—Palovepi 27:12.
4. Ko e hā ʻa e enginaki ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he 1 Kolinito 10:12, 13 naʻe ʻomai ʻe Paulá?
4 ʻI he taimi naʻe tohi ai ʻa Paula ki he kau Kalisitiane naʻe nofo ʻi Kolinitoó—ko ha kolo naʻe ʻiloa ʻi he fulikivanu fakaeʻulungāngá—naʻá ne fai ha fakatokanga moʻoni ki he fakatauelé pea mo e mālohi ʻo e angahalá. Naʻá ne pehē: “ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻoku ne pehe kuo ne tuʻu, ke vakavakai naʻa ne hinga. Kuo teʻeki ke moʻua kimoutolu ʻe ha faʻahinga ʻahiʻahi [“fakatauele,” NW] ʻoku taʻehoa mo e tangata: pea ko e ʻOtua ko e toko taha ʻoku fai ki heʻene lea, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakangofua ke [“fakataueleʻi,” NW] kimoutolu ʻo makehe atu ʻi hoʻomou mafai; kae kehe, te ne ngaohi fakataha mo e fakatauelé hono haoʻanga foki mei ai, koeʻuhi ke lava hono katakiʻi.” (1 Kolinito 10:12, 13) Ko kitautolu kotoa—taʻu siʻi mo e taʻumotuʻa, tangata mo e fefine—ʻoku tau fetaulaki mo e ngaahi fakatauele lahi ʻi he ʻapiakó, ʻi he ngāueʻangá, pe ʻi ha feituʻu pē. Ko ia ai, ʻai ke tau sivisiviʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Paulá pea sio pe ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku nau ʻomai kiate kitautolú.
ʻOua ʻe Falala Tōtuʻa
5. Ko e hā ʻoku fakatuʻutāmaki ai ʻa e falala tōtuʻá?
5 ʻOku pehē ʻe Paula: “ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻoku ne pehe kuo ne tuʻu, ke vakavakai naʻa ne hinga.” ʻOku fakatuʻutāmaki ʻa e falala tōtuʻa ʻo fekauʻaki mo hotau mālohi fakaeʻulungāngá. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e ʻikai ha mahino fekauʻaki mo e natula pea mo e mālohi ʻo e angahalá. Koeʻuhi ko e kakai hangē ko Mōsese, Tēvita, Solomone, mo e ʻapositolo ko Pitá naʻa nau tō ki he angahalá, ʻoku totonu ke tau ongoʻi ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻikai ke tau tōngofua kitautolu? (Nomipa 20:2-13; 2 Samiuela 11:1-27; 1 Tuʻi 11:1-6; Mātiu 26:69-75) “Oku manavahe ae tagata boto, o ne fakamamao mei he kovi: ka oku fakalili ae vale, mo [“falala pē kiate ia,” NW],” ko e lau ia ʻa e Palovepi 14:16 (PM). ʻIkai ngata aí, naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “ʻOku loto pe ʻa laumalie ke fai, ka ʻoku vaivai ʻa kakano.” (Mātiu 26:41) Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata taʻehaohaoa ʻe ʻataʻatā mei he ngaahi holi fakameleʻí, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau tali fakamātoato ʻa e fakatokanga ʻa Paulá pea talitekeʻi ʻa e fakatauelé, pe ko ʻetau iku ʻo tō.—Selemaia 17:9.
6. ʻOku totonu ke tau teuteu ʻafē mo anga-fēfē ki he fakatauelé?
6 ʻOku fakapotopoto ke tau teuteu ki ha faingataʻa ʻe hoko taʻeʻamanekina mai nai. Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Tuʻi ʻAsa ko ha vahaʻa taimi ʻo e melinó ko e taimi totonu ia kiate ia ke ne langa ai hono ngaahi kolo maluʻí. (2 Kalonikali 14:2, 6, 7) Naʻá ne ʻilo ʻe fuʻu tōmui ke teuteu ʻi he mōmeniti ʻo e ʻohofí. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ko e ngaahi fili fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ke faí ʻi he taimi ʻoku malanga hake ai ʻa e ngaahi fakatauelé ʻoku lelei taha hono fai iá ʻaki ha fakakaukau mokomoko ʻi he nonga ʻo e ngaahi mōmeniti taʻefakahohaʻasi. (Sāme 63:6) Ko Taniela mo hono ngaahi kaumeʻa manavahē-ʻOtuá naʻa nau fai ʻenau fili ke nau faitōnunga ki he lao ʻa Sihová ki muʻa pea tenge kinautolu ke nau kai ʻa e ngaahi meʻakai ifo ʻa e tuʻí. Ko ia ai, naʻe ʻikai te nau toumoua ke pipiki ki heʻenau ngaahi tuipaú pea ʻoua ʻe maʻu ʻa e meʻakai taʻemaʻá. (Taniela 1:8) Ki muʻa ke malanga hake ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga fakatauelé, ʻai ke tau fakaivimālohiʻi ʻetau fakapapau ke kei maʻa fakaeʻulungaanga ai peé. Te tau malava leva ai ke talitekeʻi ʻa e angahalá.
7. Ko e hā ʻoku fakafiemālie ai ke ʻiloʻi kuo ʻi ai ʻa e niʻihi kuo nau lavameʻa ʻi hono talitekeʻi ʻa e fakatauelé?
7 He fakafiemālie ē ʻoku tau maʻu mei he ngaahi lea ʻa Paulá: “Kuo teʻeki ke moʻua kimoutolu ʻe ha faʻahinga fakatauele ʻoku taʻehoa mo e tangata”! (1 Kolinito 10:13) Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá: “Ke mou talitekeʻi [ʻa e Tēvoló], he tuʻu maʻumaʻuluta he tui; mo mou ʻilo ʻoku tatau ʻaupito mo e ngaahi mamahi na ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku moʻua ai homou faʻahinga ʻi mamani.” (1 Pita 5:9) ʻIo, kuo fehangahangai ʻa e niʻihi kehe mo e ngaahi fakatauele meimei tatau pea kuo nau talitekeʻi lavameʻa kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku malava ke pehē mo kitautolu. Kae kehe, ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau Kalisitiane moʻoni ʻoku moʻui ʻi ha māmani fulikivanú, ko kitautolu kotoa ʻoku malava ke tau ʻamanekina ʻe fakataueleʻi kitautolu ʻi ha faʻahinga taimi pē. ʻE malava fēfē leva ke tau falala pau ki hano ikunaʻi ʻo e vaivai fakaetangatá mo e fakatauele ki he angahalá?
ʻOku Malava Ke Tau Talitekeʻi ʻa e Fakatauelé!
8. Ko e hā ha founga tefito ke fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei he fakatauelé?
8 Ko ha founga tefito ke tuku ai ʻa e “nofo popula kia Angahala” ko e fakaʻehiʻehi mei he fakatauelé ʻi he taimi ʻoku malava aí. (Loma 6:6) ʻOku naʻinaʻi mai kiate kitautolu ʻa e Palovepi 4:14, 15: “ʻOua ʻe hu ki he hala ʻo e kau angahala, pea ʻoua ʻe ʻalu ʻi he founga ʻo e kakai kovi. Taʻofi mei ai, ʻoua ʻe tuʻu ai, afe mei ai, pea laka atu ki ko.” ʻOku tau faʻa ʻilo ki muʻa pe ʻe ngalingali iku ki he angahalá ha ngaahi tuʻunga pau. Ko ia ai, ko e meʻa mahino ke fai ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau Kalisitiané ko e “laka atu,” fakamamaʻo mei ha taha pea mei ha meʻa pea mo ha feituʻu pē ʻe malava ke ne langaʻi ha ngaahi holi fehālaaki pea tau vela ai ʻi he ngaahi holi taʻemaʻá.
9. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakamamafaʻi ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú ʻa e hola mei he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoku ala fai ai ʻa e fakatauelé?
9 Ko e hola mei ha tuʻunga fakatauelé ko e toe sitepu tefito ia ʻe taha ki hono ikunaʻi ʻo e fakatauelé. Naʻe akonaki mai ʻa Paula: “Hola pe mei he fai feʻauaki.” (1 Kolinito 6:18) Pea naʻá ne tohi: “Hola mei he tauhi-aitoli.” (1 Kolinito 10:14) Naʻe toe fakatokanga ʻa e ʻapositoló kia Tīmote ke hola mei ha holi tōtuʻa ki he koloaʻia fakamatelié, pea pehē foki mei he “ngaahi holi fakatalavou.”—2 Timote 2:22; 1 Timote 6:9-11.
10. Ko e hā ʻa e ongo fakatātā kehekehe ʻe ua ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e hola mei he fakatauelé?
10 Fakakaukau ange ki he meʻa fekauʻaki mo Tuʻi Tēvita ʻo ʻIsilelí. ʻI heʻene sio fakamamaʻu mei he ʻato ʻo hono palasí, naʻá ne sio ai ki ha fefine hoihoifua ʻoku fai ʻene kaukau, pea naʻe fakafonu leva hono lotó ʻe he ngaahi holi fehālaaki. Naʻe totonu ke ne mavahe mei he ʻató pea hola mei he fakatauelé. ʻI hono kehé, naʻá ne fakaʻekeʻeke fekauʻaki mo e fefiné ni—ʻa Patisepa—pea ko hono ngaahi olá naʻe fakatupu maumau. (2 Samiuela 11:1–12:23) ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe Siosifá ʻi he taimi naʻe vilitaki ange ai ʻa e uaifi ʻulungaanga taʻetaau ʻo hono pulé ke ne tokoto hifo mo iá? ʻOku tala mai ʻe he fakamatalá kiate kitautolu: “Naʻa ne toutou lea kia Siosifa ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pe, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fai ki hono loto, ke na tākoto, pe ke na feʻao.” Naʻa mo e ʻikai ha ngaahi fekau ʻo e Lao ʻa Mōsesé, ʻa ia naʻe teʻeki ke foaki maí, naʻe tali ange ʻe Siosifa kiate ia ʻaki ʻene pehē: “Pea fefe ai haʻaku fai ʻa e fuʻu angahala lahi ni, ʻo te hia ai ki he ʻOtua?” ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha naʻá ne puketuʻu ai ia, ʻo ne pehē ange: “Ta mohe ā.” Naʻe nofo ai ʻa Siosifa ʻo feinga ke fakaʻuhinga mo ia? ʻIkai. Naʻá ne “hola kituʻa.” Naʻe ʻikai ke ʻoange ʻe Siosifa ha faingamālie ki he fakatauele fakaefehokotaki fakasinó ke ne ikunaʻi ia. Naʻá ne hola!—Senesi 39:7-16.
11. Ko e hā nai ʻe malavá kapau ʻoku tau hokosia ha toutou hoko ʻa ha fakatauele?

(Emosi 5:15) ʻI ha feituʻu kehe, ko e hola mei he fakatauelé ʻe fiemaʻu ai ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi tuʻuʻanga ʻInitaneti fakalieliá pea mo e ngaahi feituʻu faiʻanga fakafiefia ʻoku ala fehuʻiá. ʻOku toe ʻuhinga nai ia ke liʻaki atu ha makasini, pe ko hono kumi ha ngaahi kaumeʻa foʻou—ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá pea te nau malava nai ke tokoni kiate kitautolú. (Palovepi 13:20) Tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻokú ne fakataueleʻi kitautolu ki he angahalá, ʻoku tau fakapotopoto kapau ʻoku tau talitekeʻi ʻosi fakapapauʻi ia.—Loma 12:9.

12. Ko e hā ʻoku tau kole mei he ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau lotu ai: “ʻOua naʻa ke fakahū kimautolu ki he fakatauelé”?
12 ʻOku ʻomai ʻe Paula ʻa e fakapapau fakalototoʻa ko ʻení: “Ko e ʻOtua ko e toko taha ʻoku fai ki heʻene lea, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakangofua ke fakataueleʻi kimoutolu ʻo makehe atu ʻi hoʻomou mafai; kae kehe, te ne ngaohi fakataha mo e fakatauelé hono haoʻanga foki mei ai, koeʻuhi ke lava hono katakiʻi.” (1 Kolinito 10:13) Ko e founga ʻe taha ʻoku tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ʻe Sihová ko hono tali ʻetau ngaahi lotu ki heʻene tokoní ʻi he fekuki mo e fakatauelé. Naʻe akoʻi mai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ke tau lotu: “ʻOua naʻa ke fakahū kimautolu ki he ʻahiʻahi [“fakatauele,” NW]; ka ke fakahaofi kimautolu mei he Fili.” (Mātiu 6:13) ʻI he tali ki he lotu fakamātoato peheé, ʻe ʻikai liʻaki kitautolu ʻe Sihova ki he fakatauelé; te ne fakahaofi kitautolu meia Sētane mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue olopotó. (Efeso 6:11) ʻOku totonu ke tau kole ki he ʻOtuá ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakatauelé pea maʻu ʻa e mālohi ke talitekeʻi ʻaki kinautolu. Kapau ʻoku tau kōlenga kiate ia ke ʻoua te ne tuku kitautolu ke tau tō ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakataueleʻi ai kitautolú, te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa maʻunimā ʻe Sētane, ko e “Fili.”
13. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke tau faí ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fehangahangai ai mo ha fakatauele hokohoko?

Fēfē kapau ʻoku fakataueleʻi kitautolu ke tau toe foki ki ai? ʻI he lelei ange ke ʻoua ʻe feinga ke lōmia ʻa e ngaahi ongoʻi peheé, ʻave ʻa e meʻá kia Sihova ʻi he lotu—ʻo toutou lotu kapau ʻoku fiemaʻu.
