ʻE Lava Ke Tau Maʻu ʻAonga ʻi Hono Kātakiʻi ʻa e Faingataʻá
“ʻOku mau lau ko e monuʻia ʻa kinautolu kuo kataki.”—SEMISI 5:11.
1, 2. Ko e hā ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi naʻe ʻikai fakataumuʻa ʻe Sihova ke faingataʻaʻia ʻa e tangatá?
ʻOKU ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻatamai lelei ʻe loto ke faingataʻaʻia; pea ʻoku ʻikai finangalo ʻa hotau Tokotaha-Fakatupú, ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá, ke faingataʻaʻia ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. ʻOku lava ke tau sio ki he meʻá ni ʻi heʻetau sivisiviʻi ko ia ʻa ʻene Folofola fakamānavaʻí pea fakatokangaʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe hoko hili ʻene fakatupu ʻa e tangatá mo e fefiné. ʻUluakí, naʻe ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e tangatá. “Naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sihova Elohimi ʻa e tangata mei he efu ʻo e kelekele, ʻo ne hō ki hono avaʻi ihu ʻa e mānava moʻui; pea naʻe hoko ʻa e tangata ko e kakano moʻui.” (Senesi 2:7) Naʻe haohaoa ʻa e sino mo e ʻatamai ʻo ʻĀtamá, pea naʻe ʻikai pau ai ke ne puke pe mate.
2 Fēfē ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e moʻui ʻa ʻĀtamá? “Naʻe tō ʻe Sihova Elohimi ha ngouetapu ʻi Iteni, ʻi hahake; pea ne tuku ai ʻa e tangata kuo ne ngaohi. Pea naʻe fakatupu ʻe Sihova Elohimi mei he kelekele ʻa e ʻakau kehekehe naʻe ha fakaʻofoʻofa, pea lelei ki he kai.” (Senesi 2:8, 9) ʻIo, naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻĀtama ha ʻapi fungani. Naʻe ʻikai ha faingataʻa ʻi ʻĪteni.
3. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻamanaki naʻe maʻu ʻe he ʻuluaki ongo meʻa fakaetangatá?
3 ʻOku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he Senesi 2:18: “Pea folofola ʻa Sihova Elohimi ʻoku ʻikai lelei ki he tangata ke toko taha; kau ngaohi maʻana ha tokoni ke ʻao mo ia.” Naʻe hoko atu ʻa Sihova ʻo fakatupu ha uaifi haohaoa maʻa ʻĀtama, ʻo ʻai ai ke malava ʻa e ʻamanaki ki ha moʻui fakafāmili fiefia. (Senesi 2:21-23) ʻOku toe fakahā mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú kia kitautolu: “Naʻe tapuakiʻi ʻakinaua ʻe he ʻOtua, pea naʻe folofola kiate kinaua ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo pehe, Mo fakatupu, mo fakatokolahi, mo fakafonu ʻa mamani, pea ikuna ia.” (Senesi 1:28) Ko e ʻuluaki ongo meʻa fakaetangatá te na maʻu ʻa e monū maʻongoʻonga ko hono fakalahi ʻa e Palataisi ʻi ʻĪtení kae ʻoua ke aʻu ki ha taimi kuó ne kāpui ai ʻa e māmaní, ʻo ngaohi ai ha palataisi ʻi māmani lahi. Pea te na fakatupu ʻa e fānau fiefia, ʻa ia te nau ʻatā mei he faingataʻá. Ko ha kamataʻanga fisifisimuʻa moʻoni ia!—Senesi 1:31.
Kamata ʻa e Faingataʻá
4. Mei ha vakai fakahisitōlia, ko e hā ʻoku hā mahino fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá?
4 Kae kehe, ʻi heʻetau sio atu ki he tuʻunga ʻo e fāmili ʻo e tangatá ʻi he faai mai ʻa e hisitōliá, ʻoku hā mahino naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e meʻa naʻe hala fakaʻulia. Ne hoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kovi, pea kuo faingataʻaʻia lahi ai ʻa e fāmili ʻo e tangatá. ʻI he faai mai ʻa e ngaahi senitulí, ko e hako kotoa ʻo ʻĀtama mo ʻIví naʻa nau hoko ʻo puke, tupu ʻo motuʻa pea faai pē ʻo nau mate. Ko e foʻi māmaní ʻoku mamaʻo ʻaupito ia mei heʻene hoko ko ha palataisi ʻoku fonu ʻi he kakai fiefiá. Ko e tuʻungá ʻoku fakamatalaʻi totonu ia ʻi he Loma 8:22: “ʻOku fai ʻo aʻu ki he taimi ni ʻa e fetoʻeaki mo langā ʻa Natula katoa.”
5. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e kaunga ʻetau ʻuluaki ongo mātuʻá ki hono fakatupunga ʻa e faingataʻá ki he fāmili ʻo e tangatá?
5 ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke tukuakiʻi ʻa Sihova ki he faingataʻaʻia lahi kuo ʻi ai ʻo fuʻu fuoloá. (2 Samiuela 22:31) Ko e konga ʻo e tukuakiʻí kuo pau ke fai ia ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. “Kuo nau fakakaʻanga, kuo nau fakalieliaʻi ʻenau ngaahi toʻonga.” (Sāme 14:1) Ko ʻetau ʻuluaki ongo mātuʻá ne ʻoange kia kinaua ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe lelei ʻi he kamatá. Ko e meʻa pē naʻe fiemaʻu ke hokohoko atu ai ʻa e tuʻunga ko iá ko e talangofua ki he ʻOtuá, ka naʻe fili ʻe ʻĀtama ia mo ʻIvi ke na tuli ki he tauʻatāina meia Sihova. Koeʻuhi naʻe mavahe ʻetau ʻuluaki ongo mātuʻá meia Sihova, ne ʻikai te ne kei fakatolonga ai ʻa hona tuʻunga haohaoá. Te na hoholo ai kae ʻoua kuó na mate. Kuo tukufakaholo mai ai kia kitautolu ʻa e taʻehaohaoá.—Senesi 3:17-19; Loma 5:12.
6. Ko e hā ʻa e tafaʻaki naʻe kaunga ki ai ʻa Sētane ʻi hono kamataʻi ʻa e faingataʻá?
6 ʻOku toe kau ki hono kamataʻi ʻa e faingataʻá kotoa ʻa e meʻamoʻui laumālie naʻe hoko ʻo ui ko Sētane ko e Tēvoló. Naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻa e tauʻatāina ke fili. Kae kehe, naʻá ne ngāuehalaʻaki ʻa e tauʻatāina ko iá ʻi ha feinga ke fai ange kiate ia ʻa e lotú. Neongo ia, ko Sihova pē ʻoku totonu ke fai ki ai ʻa e lotú, ʻo ʻikai ko ʻene ngaahi meʻa fakatupú. Ko Sētane ia naʻá ne fakalotoʻi ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ke na feinga ke tauʻatāina meia Sihová, ʻo hangē te na lava tokua ai ‘ke hange ko e ʻOtuá, ʻo na ʻilo ʻa e leleí mo e koví.’—Senesi 3:5.
Ko Sihova Pē ʻOkú Ne Maʻu ʻa e Totonu ke Pulé
7. Ko e hā kuo fakahāhā ʻi he ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo e angatuʻu kia Sihová?
7 Ko e ngaahi nunuʻa kovi ʻo e angatuʻú ʻoku fakahāhā ai ko Sihova pē ʻa e Hau Fakalevelevá, ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e totonu ke pulé pea ko ʻene pulé pē ʻoku māʻoniʻoní. Ko e laui afeʻi taʻu kuohilí kuo fakahāhā ai ko Sētane, ʻa ia naʻe hoko ko e “ʻeiki ʻo e maama ko eni,” kuó ne fakatupulekina ha tuʻunga-pule fulikivanu, taʻemāʻoniʻoni, mo fakamālohi ʻa ia ʻoku taʻefakafiemālie fakaʻaufuli. (Sione 12:31) Ko e tuʻunga-pule lōloa mo fakamamahi ʻa e tangatá ʻi he malumalu ʻo e pule ʻa Sētané kuo toe fakahāhā ai ʻoku ʻikai te nau maʻu ʻa e malava ke pule ʻi he māʻoniʻoní. (Selemaia 10:23) Ko ia ai, ko e faʻahinga tuʻunga-pule kotoa pē ʻoku ala fakahoko ʻo mavahe mei he tuʻunga-pule ʻa Sihová kuo pau ke iku ia ʻo taʻelavameʻa. Kuo fakamoʻoniʻi taʻetoeveiveiua eni ʻe he hisitōliá.
8. Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa ʻa Sihova ki he founga kotoa pē ʻo e tuʻunga-pule fakaetangatá, pea ʻe anga-fēfē ʻene fakahoko ʻa e taumuʻa ko iá?
8 ʻI hono fakaʻatā ko eni ʻe Sihova ʻa e taʻu ʻe laui afe ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ai ʻe he tangatá ʻa e tuʻunga-pule tauʻatāina meiate iá, ʻokú ne tonuhia leva ʻi heʻene toʻo ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga-pule kotoa ko ení mei he māmaní pea fetongi ia ʻaki ʻene founga-pule ʻaʻaná. Ko ha kikite fekauʻaki mo eni ʻoku pehē ai: “ʻI he taimi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi ko ia [ngaahi tuʻunga-pule fakaetangatá], ko e ʻOtua ʻo Langi te ne fokotuʻu ha puleʻanga [ko ʻene founga-pule fakahēvani ʻi he nima ʻo Kalaisí] ʻe ʻikai fulihi ʻo taʻengata; . . . te ne laiki mo fakaʻauha ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia, kae tuʻu pe ia ʻo taʻengata.” (Taniela 2:44) Ko e pule fakatēmenioó mo fakaetangatá ʻe ngata, pea ko e Puleʻanga fakahēvani pē ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻe ʻi ai ʻo pule ʻi he māmaní. Ko Kalaisi ʻe hoko ko e Tuʻí, pea te ne maʻu ʻa e kaungāpule ko e kau faitōnunga ʻo e tangatá ʻe toko 144,000 ʻoku toʻo mei he māmaní.—Fakahā 14:1.
Maʻu ʻAonga mei he Faingataʻá
9, 10. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e maʻu ʻaonga ʻa Sīsū mei he ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne faingataʻaʻia aí?
9 ʻOku mahuʻinga ke sivisiviʻi ʻa e tuʻunga taau ʻo e faʻahinga ko ia te nau pule ʻi he Puleʻanga fakahēvaní. ʻUluakí, naʻe fakahāhā ʻe Kalaisi Sīsū ʻa ʻene taau moʻoni ki hono ngafa ko e Tuʻí. Kuó ne fakamoleki ʻa e ngaahi kuonga taʻefaʻalaua ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo Sihová ʻo fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo ʻene Tamaí, ʻi heʻene hoko ko ʻEne “tufunga lahi.” (Palovepi 8:22-31) ʻI he fokotuʻutuʻu ʻe Sihova ke ne haʻu ki he māmaní, naʻe tali loto-lelei ia ʻe Sīsū. Naʻá ne tokangataha ʻi ai ke talanoa ki he niʻihi kehé fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová mo hono Puleʻangá. Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sīsū ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ʻaupito kia kitautolu kotoa ʻaki ʻene fakamoʻulaloa kakato ki he tuʻunga-hau ko iá.—Mātiu 4:17; 6:9.
10 Naʻe faingataʻaʻia ʻa Sīsū ʻi he fakatangá, pea iku ai ʻo fakapoongi ia. ʻI he lolotonga ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú, naʻá ne malava ke sio takai ki he tuʻunga fakaʻofa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. Naʻe ʻi ai hano ʻaonga kiate ia ʻa ʻene sio ki he meʻa ko iá pea ʻi heʻene faingataʻaʻia tonu peé? ʻIo. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Hepelu 5:8: “Neongo ko e ʻAlo ia [ʻo e ʻOtuá], ka naʻa ne lavaʻi ʻene talangofua, ko e ako ʻe heʻene ngaahi mamahi.” Ko e meʻa naʻe hokosia ʻe Sīsū lolotonga ʻene ʻi māmaní naʻe ʻai ai ke ne maʻu ʻa e mahino mo e manavaʻofa lahi ange. Naʻá ne hokosia tonu ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e fāmili fakaetangatá. ʻOku lava ke ne kaungāmamahi mo e faʻahinga ʻoku faingataʻaʻiá pea lava lelei ange ai ke ne mahinoʻi ʻa hono ngafa ʻi heʻene haʻu ke fakahaofi kinautolú. Fakatokangaʻi ange ʻa e anga hono fakamamafaʻi eni ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻi he tohi Hepeluú: “Naʻe pau ke fakatatau ai ia mo hono ngaahi tokoua ʻi he meʻa kotoa pe, koeʻuhi ke ne hoko ko ha taulaʻeiki-lahi ʻoku ʻofangofua mo lototō, ke ne tokanga ki heʻenau ngaahi meʻa mo e ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ne fai ʻa e fakalelei ʻi he angahala ʻa e kakai. He ko e meʻa kuo ne mamahi ai ʻe ia ʻi hono ʻahiʻahiʻi, ʻoku ne lava ke tokoni ai kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻahiʻahiʻi.” “Talaʻehai ʻoku tau maʻu ha taulaʻeiki-lahi ʻoku taʻemalavea ʻi hotau ngaahi vaivaiʻanga, kaekehe ʻoku tau maʻu ha toko taha kuo ʻosi ʻahiʻahi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pe, hange ko kitautolu, kae ʻikai haʻane angahala. Ko ia ke tau ʻunuʻunu atu malohi ai ki he taloni ʻo kelesi, ke tau maʻu meesi, mo tau taʻimalie ha kelesi ke tokoni mai.”—Hepelu 2:17, 18; 4:14-16; Mātiu 9:36; 11:28-30.
11. ʻE anga-fēfē ʻa e maʻu ʻaonga ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he kahaʻú ʻi honau tuʻunga ko e kau pulé mei heʻenau hokosia ʻi he māmaní?
11 ʻOku lava ke leaʻaki ʻa e meʻa tatau fekauʻaki mo e toko 144,000, ʻa ia “naʻe fakatau” mei he māmaní ke nau hoko ʻo kaungāpule mo Kalaisi Sīsū ʻi he Puleʻanga fakahēvaní. (Fakahā 14:4) Naʻe fanauʻi kotoa kinautolu ko e tangata ʻi he māmaní, ʻo nau tupu hake ʻi ha māmani naʻe fonu ʻi he faingataʻá, pea nau faingataʻaʻia mo kinautolu. Naʻe fakatangaʻi ʻa e tokolahi, pea aʻu ʻo tāmateʻi ʻa e niʻihi koeʻuhi ko ʻenau tauhi ʻenau anga-tonú kia Sihova pea loto-lelei ke muimui ʻia Sīsū. Ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ‘ma ki he fakamooni ki ho nau Eikí, ka nau kau i he gaahi mamahi oe ogoogoleleí.’ (2 Timote 1:8, PM) Ko ʻenau hokosia ʻi he māmaní ʻoku mātuʻaki ʻai ai kinautolu ke nau taau ke fakamāuʻi hifo mei hēvani ʻa e fāmili fakaetangatá. Kuo nau ako ke hoko ʻo kaungāongoʻi, anga-lelei mo vēkeveke lahi ange ke tokoniʻi ʻa e kakaí.—Fakahā 5:10; 14:2-5; 20:6.
Fiefia ʻa e Faʻahinga ʻOku ʻi Ai ʻEnau ʻAmanaki Fakamāmaní
12, 13. ʻOku lava fēfē ke maʻu ʻaonga mei he faingataʻá ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau maʻu ha ʻamanaki fakamāmaní?
12 ʻE lava ke fakatupu ʻe he faingataʻaʻia lolotongá ha meʻa ʻoku lelei ʻi he faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻamanaki ke moʻui taʻengata ʻi ha māmani palataisi ʻoku ʻatā mei he puké, mamahí mo e maté? Ko e langa mo e uhu ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he faingataʻá ʻoku ʻikai ko ha faʻahinga meʻa ia ke fai ha holi ki ai. Ka ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau kātekina ai ʻa e faingataʻa peheé, ʻoku lava ke fakaleleiʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga lelei fakafoʻituitui pea maʻu ai ʻa e fiefia.
13 Fakakaukau ki he meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he Folofola fakamānavaʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni: “ʻIo, pea neongo te mou moʻua ʻi he ngaahi mamahi koeʻuhi ko e maʻoniʻoni, ka ʻoku mou monuʻia ai pe.” (1 Pita 3:14; 4:14) “Monūʻiaā ka ko kimoutolu, ʻo ka manukia kimoutolu, mo fakatangaʻi, mo lohiʻekina ʻi he kovi kehekehe, koeʻuhi ko au. Mou fiefia mo hakailangitau: he lahi hoʻomou totongi ʻi Hevani.” (Mātiu 5:11, 12) “Monuʻiaā ka ko e tangata ʻoku ne kataki ha ʻahiʻahi: he ʻo ka ʻosi hono sivi, te ne maʻu ai ʻa e kalauni ʻo e moʻui.”—Semisi 1:12.
14. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa fekauʻaki mo e faingataʻaʻiá ʻokú ne ʻai ʻa e kau lotu kia Sihová ke nau fiefiá?
14 ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito ko e hoko tonu mai ʻa e faingataʻaʻia te tau hokosiá nai ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne ʻai ke tau fiefiá. Ko e fiefiá, ʻa e fiemālié, ʻoku haʻu ia mei hono ʻiloʻi ʻoku tau faingataʻaʻia koeʻuhi ʻoku tau fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo Sihová pea muimui ʻi he sīpinga ʻa Sīsuú.

Naʻe haha kinautolu pea tukuange leva. Ko e hā ʻenau fakakaukaú? ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakamatala ʻi he Tohi Tapú naʻa nau “ʻalu ai kinautolu mei he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e Sanetalimi, ʻoku nau fiefia koeʻuhi kuo lau kinautolu ʻoku nau tāu ke ngaohikoviʻi koeʻuhi ko e huafa.” (Ngāue 5:17-41) Naʻa nau fiefia ʻo ʻikai ʻi he haha pea mo e mamahi fakaesino naʻe hoko aí, ka ʻi hono mahinoʻi ne hoko ʻa e meʻá ni koeʻuhi ko ʻenau tauhi ʻenau anga-tonú kia Sihova pea muimui ʻi he topuvaʻe ʻo Sīsuú.—Ngāue 16:25; 2 Kolinito 12:10; 1 Pita 4:13.
15. ʻOku lava fēfē ke tau maʻu ʻaonga ʻi he kahaʻú ʻi heʻetau kātekina he taimí ni ʻa e faingataʻá?
