ʻI he taʻu taki taha, ʻoku papitaiso ʻa e laui afe ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova. Kapau naʻá ke toki papitaiso, ʻe lava ke ke ako ʻa e meʻa lahi mei he faʻahinga kuo nau malanga ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi. Pea kapau kuó ke hoko ko ha tokotaha malanga ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi, ʻe lava ke ke tokoni ke akoʻi ʻa e faʻahinga foʻoú? Ko e fai peheé ʻe lava ke ke fiefia lahi ai.
Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Sīsū naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe heʻene kau ākongá ʻa e fakahinohino ke nau hoko ko ha kau faiako ola lelei, pea naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ange ʻa e founga ke malanga aí. (Luke 8:1) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe he faʻahinga foʻoú ʻa e ako meimei tatau ke nau hoko ai ko ha kau faifekau ola lelei.
ʻOku totonu ke ʻoua te tau fakakaukau ko e ʻalu pē ha tokotaha malanga foʻou ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi moʻoni ʻa e founga ke faiako aí. ʻOkú ne fiemaʻu ʻa e fakahinohino fakafoʻituitui mei ha faiako anga-lelei mo anga-ʻofa. ʻOku fiemaʻu ki ha tokotaha malanga taukei ke ne akoʻi ia ki he founga ke (1) teuteu mo ʻahiʻahi ʻa e meʻa ke leaʻaki ki ha tokotaha-ʻapi, (2) fetalanoaʻaki mo e kakaí, (3) tuʻuaki ʻa e ʻū tohí, (4) toe foki ki he faʻahinga mahuʻingaʻiá, mo e (5) kamata ha ako Tohi Tapu. ʻE lava ke hoko ha tokotaha malanga foʻou ʻo ola lelei ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻo kapau te ne siofi mo faʻifaʻitaki ki he founga faiako ha tokotaha malanga taukei. (Luke 6:40) Pea ʻe ongoʻi loto-maʻu ange ʻa e tokotaha malanga foʻoú ʻi hono ʻiloʻi ʻoku mateuteu ha tokotaha ke tokoni ʻi he taimi ʻoku fiemaʻu aí. Ko hono fai ha fakaongoongolelei pea ʻoatu ha ngaahi fokotuʻu ʻe lava ke toe tokoni ia ki he tokotaha malanga foʻoú.—Koh. 4:9, 10.

Manatuʻi naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻene kau ākongá ke malanga “tautau toko ua.” (Luke 10:1) ʻI heʻena ngāue fakatahá, ʻe lava ke na fefakalototoʻaʻaki mo felangahakeʻaki. ʻOku tau maʻu ʻa e faingamālie lelei ke “fefakalototoʻaʻaki” ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau ngāue ai mo hotau fanga tokouá mo e fanga tuofāfiné ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú.—Loma 1:12.
Ko e hā ha ngaahi meʻa ʻe lava ke ke talanoa ki ai? Kuo ʻi ai ha taha ʻo kimoua kuo ʻi ai haʻane hokosia fakalototoʻa ki muí ni? Kuó ke ako ha poini mahuʻinga ʻi hoʻo ako fakafoʻituituí pe ako fakafāmilí?

Mahalo ʻe lava ke ke ʻeke ange pe naʻe anga-fēfē ʻene haʻu ki he moʻoní. Ko e hā naʻá ne fakatuipauʻi ia ko e kautaha eni ʻa Sihová? Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi monū pe ngaahi hokosia kuó ne maʻú?

Tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa e tali mei he feituʻu ngāué, ʻi he taimi ʻokú ke ngāue ai mo ha taha ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ʻokú ke maʻu ai ʻa e faingamālie lelei ke hanganaki “felangahakeʻaki.”—1 Tes. 5:11.

Pea fakalaulauloto leva ki he ngaahi ʻuhinga ko iá. ʻI hoʻo fai peheé, ʻe mālohi ange ai hoʻo faivelenga ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú.
