“Sio fakamamaʻu ki he lao haohaoa ʻoku ʻo e tauʻatāiná.”—SĒM. 1:25.

Ko e hā ʻa e lao ʻoku taki atu ki he tauʻatāina moʻoní, pea ko hai ʻoku maʻu ʻaonga mei he lao ko iá?
Ko e hā ʻa e fakapulipuli ki hono maʻu ʻa e tauʻatāina moʻoní?
Ko e hā ʻa e tauʻatāina ʻoku fakatatali mai ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nofo ʻi he hala ki he moʻuí?

ʻOKU tau moʻui ʻi ha taimi ʻoku fakautuutu ai ʻa e mānumanú, maumau-laó mo e fakamālohí. (2 Tīm. 3:1-5) ʻI he tali ki aí, ʻoku faʻu ai ʻe he ngaahi puleʻangá ʻa e ngaahi lao lahi ange, fakafefekaʻi ʻa e kau polisí, pea fokotuʻu mo e ngaahi meʻa faitā ke siofi ʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fai ʻe he kakaí. ʻI he ngaahi fonua ʻe niʻihi, ko e kakai fakatāutahá ʻoku nau feinga ke fakalahi ʻenau malú ʻaki hono fokotuʻu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakaongo fakatokanga ʻi honau ngaahi ʻapí, pea pehē ki he ngaahi loka lahi ange pea naʻa mo e ngaahi ʻā fakaʻuhila. ʻOku fakafisi ʻa e tokolahi ke hū ki tuʻa ʻi he poʻulí pe ke tuku ʻenau fānaú ke nau vaʻinga ʻi tuʻa taʻetokangaʻi—ʻaho pe poʻuli. ʻOku hā mahino, ko e tauʻatāiná ʻoku hōloa, pea ko e tuʻunga ko ení ngalingali ʻe hokohoko atu pē.
2 ʻI he ngoue ko ʻĪtení, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sētane ko e kī ki he tauʻatāina moʻoní ko e tauʻatāina meia Sihova. He foʻi loi fakatupu kovi mo fakaʻulia ē kuo fakamoʻoniʻi! Ko e moʻoni, ko e lahi ange ʻa e taʻetokaʻi ʻe he kakaí ʻa e ngaahi fakangatangata fakaeʻulungaanga mo fakalaumālie kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá, ko e lahi ange ia ʻa e faingataʻaʻia ʻa e sōsaietí fakalūkufua. Ko e tuʻunga fakaʻau ke kovi ange ko ení ʻokú ne toe uesia kitautolu ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau sevāniti ʻa Sihová. Kae kehe, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻo e sio ki he ngata ʻa e pōpula ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ki he angahalá mo e ʻauhá pea mo hono maʻu ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ui ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko e “tauʻatāina lāngilangiʻia ʻa e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá.” (Loma 8:21) Ko hono moʻoní, kuo ʻosi kamata teuteu ʻe Sihova ia ʻene kau sevānití ki he tauʻatāina ko iá. ʻI he founga fē?
3. Kuo ʻoange ʻe Sihova ki he kau muimui ʻo Kalaisí ʻa e lao fē, pea ko e hā ʻa e ongo fehuʻi te tau lāulea ki aí?
3 Ko e talí ʻoku ʻi he meʻa ia ʻoku ui ʻe he tokotaha-tohi Tohi Tapu ko Sēmisí ko e “lao haohaoa ʻoku ʻo e tauʻatāiná.” (Lau ʻa e Sēmisi 1:25.) ʻOku liliu ʻe he ngaahi Tohi Tapu kehe ʻa e kupuʻi lea ko ení ko e “lao ʻokú ne ʻai kitautolu ke tau tauʻatāina” (The New English Bible) mo e “lao haohaoa ʻo e tauʻatāiná” (The New American Bible). Ko e moʻoni, ʻi he anga-mahení, ʻoku fakafekauʻaki ʻe he kakaí ʻa e laó mo e ngaahi fakataputapui, kae ʻikai ko e tauʻatāina. Ko e hā leva, ʻa e “lao haohaoa ʻoku ʻo e tauʻatāiná”? Pea ʻoku anga-fēfē hono ʻai kitautolu ʻe he lao ko iá ke tau tauʻatāiná?
KO E LAO KO IA ʻOKU FAI FAKATAUʻATĀINÁ
4. Ko e hā ʻa e “lao haohaoa ʻoku ʻo e tauʻatāiná,” pea ko hai ʻoku maʻu ʻaonga mei aí?
4 Ko e “lao haohaoa ʻoku ʻo e tauʻatāiná” ʻoku ʻikai ko e Lao ia ʻa Mōsesé, he ko e lao ko iá naʻá ne ʻai ke eʻa ʻa e ngaahi maumau-laó pea naʻe fakahoko ia ʻia Kalaisi. (Māt. 5:17; Kal. 3:19) Ki he lao fē leva, naʻe ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa Sēmisí? Naʻe ʻi heʻene fakakaukaú ʻa e “lao ʻa e Kalaisí,” ʻa ia ʻoku toe ui ko e “lao ʻo e tuí” mo e “lao ʻo ha kakai tauʻatāina.” (Kal. 6:2; Loma 3:27; Sēm. 2:12) Ko ia ai, ko e ‘lao haohaoá,’ ʻoku kau ai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe Sihova kia kitautolú. Fakatouʻosi ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní mo e ‘fanga sipi kehé’ ʻoku nau maʻu ʻaonga mei ai.—Sione 10:16.
5. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ke fakamafasia ai ʻa e lao ʻo e tauʻatāiná?
5 ʻI he ʻikai hangē ko e ngaahi lao ʻa e ngaahi fonua lahi, ko e ‘lao haohaoá’ ʻoku ʻikai ke fihi pe fakamafasia ka ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi fekau mo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni tefito faingofua. (1 Sio. 5:3) “Ko ʻeku ʻioké ʻoku fakafiemālie, pea ko ʻeku kavengá ʻoku maʻamaʻa,” ko e lea ia ʻa Sīsuú. (Māt. 11:29, 30) Tānaki atu ki ai, ko e ‘lao haohaoá’ ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ki ai ha lisi lōloa ia ʻo ha ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, pe ngaahi tautea, he ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi he ʻofa pea ʻoku tongi ia ʻi he ʻatamaí mo e lotó, ʻo ʻikai ʻi he ongo lauʻimaka.—Lau ʻa e Hepelū 8:6, 10.
FOUNGA ʻOKU FAKATAUʻATĀINAʻI AI KITAUTOLU ʻE HE ‘LAO HAOHAOÁ’
6, 7. Ko e hā ʻoku lava ke leaʻaki fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa Sihová, pea ko e hā ʻoku fakatauʻatāina ai ʻa e lao ʻo e tauʻatāiná?
6 Ko e ngaahi fakangatangata kuo fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ki heʻene ngaahi meʻamoʻui ʻatamaiʻiá ko ha ʻaonga pē ia mo e maluʻi kia kinautolu. Ko e fakatātaá, sio angé ki he ngaahi lao fakamatelie ʻokú ne puleʻi ʻa e iví mo e ngaahi meʻá. ʻOku ʻikai ke lāunga ʻa e kakaí ia fekauʻaki mo hono lōmekina kinautolu ʻe he ngaahi lao ko iá. Ka, ʻoku nau houngaʻia ai, ʻo nau ʻiloʻi ko e ngaahi lao fakanatulá ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ia ki heʻenau tuʻunga leleí. ʻOku pehē pē, ko e ngaahi tuʻunga fakaeʻulungaanga mo fakalaumālie ʻa Sihová, ʻa ia ʻoku tapua atu ʻi he “lao haohaoa” ʻa e Kalaisí, ko e ʻai pē ke maʻu ʻaonga mei ai ʻa e tangatá.
7 Tānaki atu ki heʻene hoko ko ha maluʻí, ko e lao ʻo e tauʻatāiná ʻokú ne fakaʻatā kitautolu ke fakatōliʻa kotoa ʻetau ngaahi holi totonú ʻo ʻikai fakatuʻutāmaki kia kitautolu pe halalotoʻapi ʻi he ngaahi totonu mo e ngaahi tauʻatāina ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Ko e fakapulipulí leva, ki he hoko ʻo tauʻatāina moʻoní—ʻa e malava ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau holi ki aí—ko hono fakatupulekina ʻa e ngaahi holi totonú, ʻa e ngaahi holi ʻoku fehoanaki mo e ʻulungaanga mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa Sihová. ʻI hono fakalea ʻe tahá, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau ako ke ʻofa ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ʻofa ai ʻa Sihová pea ke fehiʻa ʻi he meʻa ʻokú ne fehiʻa aí, ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he lao ʻo e tauʻatāiná ke tau faí.—ʻĒm. 5:15.
8, 9. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga ʻoku haʻu ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau piki ki he lao ʻo e tauʻatāiná? Fakatātaaʻi.
8 ʻI hotau tuʻunga taʻehaohaoá, ʻoku tau fāinga ke puleʻi ʻa e ngaahi holi fehālākí. Kae kehe, ʻi heʻetau piki mateaki ki he lao ʻo e tauʻatāiná, ʻoku tau ʻahiʻahiʻi ai ʻa hono ngaahi mālohi fakatauʻatāiná naʻa mo e taimí ni. Ke fakatātaaʻi: Ko ha tokotaha ako Tohi Tapu ko Jay naʻe maʻunimā ia ʻe he tapaká. ʻI he taimi naʻá ne ʻilo ai ko ʻene tōʻongá ʻoku taʻefakahōifua ki he ʻOtuá, naʻe pau ke ne fai ha fili. Te ne hokohoko atu ke moʻulaloa ki hono kakanó pe te ne fakamoʻulaloa kia Sihova? ʻI he fakapotopotó, naʻá ne fili ke tauhi ki he ʻOtuá, neongo naʻe holi mālohi hono kakanó ki he nikotiní. Naʻá ne ongoʻi fēfē ʻi he hili ʻene ikuʻi ʻene tōʻongá? “Naʻá ku ongoʻi tauʻatāina moʻoni mo fiefia lahi,” ko ʻene lau ia ki muí.
9 Naʻe ako ʻa Jay mei heʻene hokosiá ko e ngaahi tauʻatāina ʻa e māmaní, ʻa ē ʻokú ne fakaʻatā ʻa e kakaí ke nau “fokotuʻu ʻa e fakakaukaú ʻi he kakanó,” ʻoku fakapōpula moʻoni, ka ko e ngaahi tauʻatāina ʻa Sihová, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻuhingá ko e “fokotuʻu ʻa e fakakaukaú ʻi he laumālié,” ʻoku fakatauʻatāina ia pea taki atu ki he “moʻui mo e melino.” (Loma 8:5, 6) Naʻe maʻu ʻe Jay mei fē ʻa e mālohi ke ikuʻiʻaki ʻene tōʻonga fakapōpulá? ʻIkai ʻi loto ʻiate ia; naʻe haʻu ia mei he ʻOtuá. “Naʻá ku ako maʻu pē ʻa e Tohi Tapú, lotu ʻo kole ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, pea kumi ki he tokoni anga-ʻofa naʻe fakaaʻu loto-lelei mai ʻe he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané,” ko ʻene laú ia. Ko e ngaahi tokonaki tatau ko ení ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kotoa kitautolu ʻi heʻetau kumi ki he tauʻatāina moʻoní. Tau sio angé pe ʻe anga-fēfē.
SIO FAKAMAMAʻU KI HE FOLOFOLA ʻA E ʻOTUÁ
10. Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ke “sio fakamamaʻu” ki he lao ʻa e ʻOtuá?
10 ʻI he Sēmisi 1:25 ʻoku pehē ai ʻi hano konga: “Ko ia ʻokú ne sio fakamamaʻu ki he lao haohaoa ʻoku ʻo e tauʻatāiná pea kīvoi aí . . . te ne fiefia ʻi heʻene fai iá.” Ko e muʻaki lea faka-Kalisi naʻe liliu ko e “sio fakamamaʻu” ʻoku ʻuhingá “ke punou ʻo sio ki loto,” ʻa ia ʻoku fakahuʻunga ko e feinga fakamākukanga. ʻIo, kapau ʻoku tau loto ke tākiekina ʻe he lao ʻo e tauʻatāiná ʻetau fakakaukaú mo e lotó, kuo pau ke tau fai ʻetau tafaʻakí ʻaki hono ako tōtōivi ʻa e Tohi Tapú pea fakalaulauloto faʻa lotu ki he meʻa ʻoku tau laú.—1 Tīm. 4:15.
11, 12. (a) Naʻe fakamamafaʻi fēfē ʻe Sīsū ʻa e fiemaʻu ke ʻai ʻa e moʻoní ko ʻetau founga moʻuí iá? (e) Hangē ko ia naʻe fakatātaaʻi ʻi ʻolungá, ko e hā ʻa e fakatuʻutāmaki kuo pau ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei ai tautefito ki he fānaú?
11 ʻI he taimi tatau, kuo pau ke tau “kīvoi,” pe kātaki, ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻo ʻai ai ʻa e moʻoní ko ʻetau founga moʻuí ia. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ha fakakaukau pehē ʻi he taimi naʻá ne lea ai ki ha niʻihi naʻa nau tui kiate ia: “Kapau te mou nofo maʻu ʻi heʻeku leá, ko e moʻoni ko e kau ākonga kimoutolu ʻaʻaku, pea te mou ʻilo ʻa e moʻoní, pea ko e moʻoní te ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi kimoutolu.” (Sione 8:31, 32) Ke “ʻilo,” ko e lau ia ʻa e maʻuʻanga fakamatala ʻe taha, ʻoku toe ʻuhinga ia heni ke maʻu ʻa e houngaʻia koeʻuhi “ko e meʻa kuo ‘ʻiló’ ʻoku mahuʻinga ia ki he tokotaha ʻokú ne ʻiló.” Ko ia ai, ʻoku tau “ʻilo” ʻa e moʻoní ʻi he ʻuhinga kakato tahá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau ʻai ai ia ko ʻetau founga moʻuí. Pea te tau lava leva ai ke leaʻaki totonu ‘ko e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku ngāue’ ʻia kitautolu, ʻo fakafuo hotau angaʻitangatá koeʻuhí ke tau tapua ofi ange ai ʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní.—1 Tes. 2:13.
12 ʻEke hifo kia koe, ‘ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi moʻoni ʻa e moʻoní? Kuó u ʻai ia ko ʻeku founga moʻuí? Pe ʻoku ou kei mātuʻaki holi pē ki he “ngaahi tauʻatāina” ʻa e māmaní?’ ʻI he sio atu ki heʻene kei finemuí, ko ha tuofefine ʻa ia naʻe ʻohake ʻe he ongo mātuʻa Kalisitiane naʻá ne tohi: “ʻI he taimi ʻokú ke tupu hake ai ʻi he moʻoní, ʻoku ʻi ai maʻu pē ʻa Sihova, hangē ko e laú. Ka ʻi hoku tuʻungá, naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te u ʻiloʻi moʻoni ia. Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te u ako ke fehiʻa ʻi he meʻa ʻokú ne fehiʻa aí.

ʻE LAVA KE TOKONI ʻA E LAUMĀLIE MĀʻONIʻONÍ KE FAKATAUʻATĀINAʻI KOE
13. ʻOku anga-fēfē tokoni ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá ke fakatauʻatāinaʻi kitautolú?
13 ʻI he 2 Kolinitō 3:17, ʻoku tau lau ai: “Ko e feituʻu pē ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e laumālie ʻo Sihová, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e tauʻatāiná.” ʻOku anga-fēfē tokoni ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ki heʻetau tauʻatāiná? ʻI he ngaahi meʻa kehé, ʻokú ne fakatupu ʻia kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻoku mātuʻaki fiemaʻu ki he tauʻatāiná—“ko e ʻofa, fiefia, melino, kātaki-fuoloa, anga-lelei, lelei, tui, anga-malū, mapuleʻi-kita.” (Kal. 5:22, 23) Ka ʻikai ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ko iá, tautefito ki he ʻofá, ʻe ʻikai lava ke hoko ha sōsaieti ʻo tauʻatāina moʻoni—ko ha moʻoniʻi meʻa ʻoku hā mahino ʻi he māmaní he ʻahó ni. Ko e meʻa mālié, hili hono lisi ʻa e fua ʻo e laumālié, naʻe toe tānaki mai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “ʻOku ʻikai ha lao ke ne taʻofi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko ʻení.” Ko e hā naʻá ne ʻuhinga ki aí? Ko e fua ʻo e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻikai fakangatangata ia ʻe ha faʻahinga lao ʻoku lava ke ne taʻofi ʻene tupú. (Kal. 5:18) Ko ia leva, ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻo ha lao pehē? Ko e finangalo ia ʻo Sihová ke tau fakatupulekina ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga hangē ko Kalaisí ʻo taʻengata pea fakahāhā ia ʻo ʻikai fakangatangata.
14. ʻI he ngaahi founga fē ʻoku fakapōpulaʻi ai ʻe he laumālie ʻo e māmaní ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau moʻulaloa ki aí?
14 Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau toʻoa ʻi he laumālie ʻo e māmaní pea mo fakatōliʻa ʻenau ngaahi holi fakaekakanó te nau fakakaukau nai ʻoku nau tauʻatāina. (Lau ʻa e 2 Pita 2:18, 19.) Kae kehe, ko e meʻa ʻoku moʻoní ʻoku mātuʻaki fehangahangai ia. ʻOku fokotuʻuna ʻa e ngaahi lao mo e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻoku fiemaʻu ke taʻotaʻofiʻaki honau ngaahi uʻá mo ʻenau tōʻonga fakamamahí. “Ko e laó naʻe ʻikai faʻu ia maʻá ha tangata māʻoniʻoni, ka maʻá e faʻahinga ʻoku maumau-lao mo angatuʻú,” ko e lau ia ʻa Paulá.
