NAʻE tala ange ʻe ha kaungāako ki ha tuofefine kei siʻi ʻi Pilitānia: “ʻOkú ke fuʻu poto nai koe ke tui ki he ʻOtuá.” Naʻe tohi ʻe ha tokoua ʻi Siamane: “ʻOku vakai ʻeku kau faiakó ki he fakamatala Fakatohitapu ki he fakatupú ko ha talatupuʻa. Pea ʻoku nau pehē ʻoku tui ʻa e fānau akó ki he ʻevalūsioó.” Naʻe pehē ʻe ha tuofefine kei siʻi ʻi Falanisē: “ʻOku ʻohovale lahi ʻa e kau faiako ʻi homau ʻapiakó ʻi he kei tui ʻa e fānau ako ʻe niʻihi ki he Tohi Tapú.”

² ʻOku tokolahi ʻa e kakai he ʻahó ni ʻoku ʻikai ke nau tui naʻe fakatupu kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá. Kapau ko ha sevāniti kei siʻi koe ʻa Sihova pe ʻokú ke ako fekauʻaki mo ia, te ke fifili nai he taimi ʻe niʻihi ki he founga ʻe lava ai ke ke fakamoʻoniʻi ko ia hotau Tokotaha-Fakatupú. ʻOku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he Tohi Tapú ke tau fakakaukau fakalelei ki he meʻa ʻoku tau fanongo mo lau aí pe fakaʻuhinga fekauʻaki mo iá. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá: “E fakamoui koe e he faa fakakaukau.” Anga-fēfē? ʻE tokoniʻi ai koe ke ke talitekeʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau taʻemoʻoní pea ʻoku fakaivimālohiʻi ai hoʻo tui kia Sihová.​—Lau ʻa e Palōveepi 2:10-12, PM.

 3. Ko e hā te tau lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu ko ení?

³ Ke maʻu ʻa e tui mālohi kia Sihová, kuo pau ke tau ʻiloʻi lelei ia. (1 Tīm. 2:4) Ko ia ʻi hoʻo lau ʻa e Tohi Tapú mo ʻetau ʻū tohí, ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ke ke kiʻi tuʻu ʻo fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki aí. Feinga ke mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke laú. (Māt. 13:23) Kapau ʻokú ke ako ʻi he founga ko ení, te ke maʻu ai ʻa e fakamoʻoni lahi ko Sihova hotau Tokotaha-Fakatupú pea ko e Tohi Tapú ʻoku haʻu meiate ia. (Hep. 11:1) Tau lāulea angé ki he founga ʻe lava ke tau fai ai ení.

 4. ʻI he founga fē ʻoku meimei tatau ai ʻa e tui ki he ʻevalūsioó mo e tui ki he fakatupú? Ko ia, ko e hā kuo pau ke fai ʻe he tokotaha kotoa ʻo kitautolú?

⁴ ʻE pehē atu nai ʻe ha taha kiate koe, “ʻOku ou tui ki he ʻevalūsioó koeʻuhí naʻe pehē ʻe he kau saienisí ʻoku moʻoni. ʻE lava fēfē ke ke tui ki he ʻOtuá kuo teʻeki ai ke sio ki ai ha tahá?” ʻOku fakakaukau pehē ʻa e kakai tokolahi. Ko e moʻoni, kuo teʻeki ai ha taha ʻiate kitautolu ʻe sio ki he ʻOtuá pe siotonu ʻi hono fakatupu ʻo ha meʻa. (Sione 1:18) Kae fēfē ʻa e kakai ʻoku nau tui ki he ʻevalūsioó? ʻOku nau tui foki ki he meʻa ʻoku teʻeki ai ke nau sio ki ai. ʻOku teʻeki ai ke sio ha tokotaha saienisi pe ko ha tangata ki ha tupu māmālie hake ha meʻamoʻui ʻo liliu ki ha meʻa ʻe taha. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻoku teʻeki ai ha taha kuo siotonu ki he tupu māmālie hake ha manu ngaolo ʻo hoko ko ha mēmolo. (Siope 38:1, 4) Ko ia ko kitautolu kotoa kuo pau ke tau vakai ki he ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻá, fakakaukau fakalelei ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ení, pea fakakaukau pe ko e hā ʻoku nau fakamoʻoniʻí. Kuo vakai ʻa e kakai tokolahi ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi natulá pea nau “ʻiloʻi” ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtua. Kuo “hā mahino mai” kiate kinautolu ko ia ʻa e Tokotaha-Fakatupú, ʻa ia ʻokú ne mālohi, pea ʻokú ne maʻu mo e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻoku lelei.​—Loma 1:20.

 5. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻangāue fakaefekumi ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau ako lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e fakatupú?

⁵ ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau vakai ai ki natulá pea fakakaukau lahi ki aí, ʻe lava ke tau sio ai naʻe ngaohi ʻa e meʻa kotoa ko iá ʻi ha founga fakaofo. “ʻI he tuí ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ai” ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e Tokotaha-Fakatupu, neongo ʻoku taʻehāmai. ʻOku tau ʻiloʻi ʻokú ne maʻu ha ʻulungaanga fakaʻofoʻofa pea lahi hono potó. (Hep. 11:3, 27) ʻE lava ke tau ako ha meʻa lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e fakatupú ʻaki hono lau ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kuo ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau saienisí. Ko e niʻihi ʻo e fakamatala ko iá ʻe lava ke maʻu ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻangāue fakaefekumi hangē ko e vitiō The Wonders of Creation Reveal God’s Glory, ko e polosiua Was Life Created? mo e The Origin of Life​—Five Questions Worth Asking, pea mo e tohi Is There a Creator Who Cares About You? ʻI he makasini ʻĀ Hake!, ʻoku faʻa fakaʻekeʻeke ai ʻa e kau saienisí mo e niʻihi kehe, ʻo nau fakamatala ki he ʻuhinga ʻoku nau tui ai he taimí ni ki he ʻOtuá. Pea ko e ngaahi kupu hokohoko “Naʻe Faʻu Ia ke Pehē?” ʻoku kau ai ʻa e ngaahi fakaikiiki fekauʻaki mo e fanga manú mo e ngaahi meʻa kehe ʻi natula, pea pehē ki he ngaahi faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻo e feinga ʻa e kau saienisí ke faʻifaʻitaki ki he ngāue ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko ení.

 6. ʻE lava fēfē ke tokoniʻi koe ʻe he ngaahi meʻangāue fakaefekumí?

⁶ Naʻe pehē ʻe ha tokoua taʻu 19 ʻi ʻAmelika fekauʻaki mo e ongo polosiua naʻe toki lave ki aí: “Kuo ʻaonga ʻaupito kiate au ʻa e ongo polosiua ko ení. Kuo tuʻo lahi ʻeku ako iá.” Naʻe tohi ʻe ha tuofefine ʻi Falanisē: “Naʻe fakaofo kiate au ʻa e ngaahi kupu ‘Naʻe Faʻu Ia ke Pehē?’ ʻOku fakahaaʻi ai ko e kau ʻenisinia ʻiloa tahá te nau faʻifaʻitaki nai ki he ngaahi meʻa ko iá ka heʻikai ʻaupito tatau ia mo e faʻu fakaofo ʻi natulá.” Naʻe pehē ʻe he ongo mātuʻa ʻa ha kiʻi taʻahine taʻu 15 ʻi ʻAfilika Tonga: “Ko e ʻuluaki meʻa ʻoku faʻa lau ʻe homa ʻofefiné ʻi he ʻĀ Hake! ko e kupu ki he ‘Fakaʻekeʻeké.’” ʻE lava ke tokoniʻi koe ʻe he ʻū tohi ko ení ke ke sio lelei ange ki he fakamoʻoni ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e Tokotaha-Fakatupu, pea te ke malava ai ke ʻiloʻi mo talitekeʻi ʻa e ngaahi akonaki loí. ʻE mālohi ʻaupito ai hoʻo tuí ʻo ke hangē ai ha fuʻu ʻakau ʻoku faiaka loloto pea kei matuʻuaki ha matangi mālohi.​—Sel. 17:5-8.

 7. Ko e hā ʻoku loto ai ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ke ngāueʻaki hoʻo mafai fakaefakaʻuhingá?

⁷ ʻOku hala ke ʻeke ʻa e fehuʻi, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku ou tui ai ki he meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he Tohi Tapú?’ ʻIkai ʻaupito. ʻOku ʻikai loto ʻa Sihova ke ke tui ki ha meʻa koeʻuhí pē ʻoku tui ki ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé. ʻOkú ne loto ke ke ngāueʻaki hoʻo “mafai fakaefakaʻuhingá” ke maʻu ʻa e ʻilo ki he Tohi Tapú pea maʻu ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻoku haʻu ʻa e Tohi Tapú meiate ia. Ko e lahi ange hoʻo ʻilo ki he meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki aí, ko e mālohi ange ia hoʻo tui ki aí. (Lau ʻa e Loma 12:1, 2; 1 Tīmote 2:4.) Ko e founga ʻe taha ke ʻilo ai ki he Tohi Tapú ko hono ako ha ngaahi kaveinga pau te ke saiʻia ke ʻilo lahi ange ki ai.

8, 9. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi kaveinga ʻoku fiefia ʻa e niʻihi ʻi hono akó? (e) Naʻe anga-fēfē maʻu ʻaonga ʻa e niʻihi ʻi heʻenau fakalaulauloto ki he meʻa ʻoku nau laú?

⁸ ʻOku fiefia ʻa e niʻihi ʻi hono ako ʻa e ngaahi kikite ʻi he Tohi Tapú. Pe ʻoku nau saiʻia nai ke fakahoa ʻa e ngaahi fakamatala Fakatohitapú mo e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he kau faihisitōliá, kau saienisí, pe kau keli fakatotoló. Ko e fakatātaá, ko e Sēnesi 3:15. Naʻe ʻomai ʻe Sihova ʻa e kikite mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ko iá ʻi he hili pē ʻa e angatuʻu ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi kiate ia mo ʻene founga-pulé. Ko e ʻuluaki kikite ia ʻi he ngaahi kikite Fakatohitapu lahi, ʻa ia ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau mahinoʻi ʻa e founga hono fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ko e founga-pule ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku lelei tahá mo e founga te ne fakangata ai ʻa e faingataʻá. ʻE lava fēfē ke ke ako ʻa e Sēnesi 3:15? ʻE lava ke ke ʻai ha lisi ʻo e ngaahi veesi Tohi Tapu ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e fakaikiiki lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e anga hono fakahoko ʻa e kikite ko ení. Hokó, ʻe lava ke ke ʻilo ai ʻa e taimi naʻe hiki ai ʻa e ngaahi veesi ko iá pea fakahokohoko kinautolu. Te ke ʻiloʻi leva ai naʻe moʻui ʻa e kau hiki Tohi Tapú ʻi he vahaʻa taimi kehekehe ka naʻe hiki ʻe he tokotaha taki taha ha meʻa naʻe ʻai ai ke toe māʻalaʻala ange ʻa e kikité. ʻE tokoniʻi heni koe ke ke fakamoʻoniʻi naʻe tataki kinautolu ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sihová.​—2 Pita 1:21.

⁹ Ko ha tokoua ʻi Siamane naʻá ne fakakaukau ki he founga ʻoku maʻu ai ʻi he tohi taki taha ʻi he Tohi Tapú ʻa e fakaikiiki fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻangá.

Pea naʻe moʻui ʻa e tokolahi ʻo kinautolu ʻi ha taimi kehekehe pea ʻikai ke nau feʻilongaki.” Naʻe ako ʻe ha tuofefine ʻi ʻAositelēlia ha kupu ʻi he Taua Leʻo pea ʻilo ai ʻa e fehokotaki ʻa e Pāsová ki he Sēnesi 3:15 mo e Mīsaiá.^[1] (Sio ki he fakamatala ʻi he ngataʻangá.) Naʻá ne tohi: “Naʻe fakaʻā au ʻe he ako ko iá ke u sio ki he fakaofo ʻo Sihová. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e tokotaha naʻe fakakaukau ki he fokotuʻutuʻu ko eni maʻá e kau ʻIsilelí pea fakahoko ia fakafou ʻia Sīsuú naʻe maongo moʻoni ia kiate au. Naʻe pau ke u kiʻi tuʻu hifo ʻo fakalaulauloto ki he fakaofo moʻoni ʻo e kikite fekauʻaki mo e kai ʻo e Pāsová!” Ko e hā naʻe ongoʻi pehē ai ʻa e tuofefine ko ení?

10. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakaivimālohiʻi ʻetau tui ki he Tohi Tapú ʻe he faitotonu ʻa e kau hiki Tohi Tapú?

¹⁰ Fakakaukau foki ki he faitotonu ʻa e kau tangata naʻa nau hiki ʻa e Tohi Tapú. Naʻa nau tala maʻu pē ʻa e moʻoní pea ʻikai ilifia ke fai pehē.

Ka ko e kau palōfita ʻa Sihová naʻe ʻikai ke ngata pē ʻenau hiki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa leleí kae pehē foki ki he ngaahi fehālaaki naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ʻIsilelí mo honau tuʻí. (2 Kal. 16:9, 10; 24:18-22) Naʻe aʻu ʻo nau lave ki heʻenau ngaahi fehālākí tonu mo e ngaahi fehālaaki ʻa e kau sevāniti kehe ʻa e ʻOtuá. (2 Sām. 12:1-14; Mk. 14:50) “ʻOku tātātaha ʻa e faitotonu peheé,” ko e lau ia ʻa ha tokoua kei siʻi mei Pilitānia. “ʻOku tānaki mai eni ki heʻetau falala-pau ko e haʻu moʻoni ʻa e Tohi Tapú meia Sihova.”

11. ʻE lava fēfē ʻe he tataki ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi he Tohi Tapú ke fakatuipauʻi kitautolu ko e Tohi Tapú ʻoku haʻu mei he ʻOtuá?

(Saame 115:3-8) ʻOkú ne tataki ʻa e kakaí ke nau falala kia Sihova, ʻa ia ko e ʻOtua māfimafi-aoniú, pea ʻoku talaʻofa mai ai ha kahaʻu lelei ange. ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ko e niʻihi ʻoku nau tala ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtuá ʻoku nau ʻai moʻoni ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻo natulá ko honau ʻotua. ʻOku pehē ʻe he niʻihi ʻe lava ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke nau ʻomai ha kahaʻu lelei ange, ka ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau vakai ai ki he meʻa kuo nau faí, kuo ʻikai ke nau malava ʻo fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi palopalema ʻi he māmaní.​—Saame 146:3, 4.

12, 13. ʻE lava fēfē ke ke talanoa ki he niʻihi kehé fekauʻaki mo e fakatupú pe ko e Tohi Tapú?

¹² ʻI hoʻo talanoa ki he niʻihi kehé fekauʻaki mo e fakatupú pe ko e Tohi Tapú, ʻuluaki feinga ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku nau tui moʻoni ki aí.

Pea ko e niʻihi ʻoku ʻikai ke nau toe tui ki he ʻOtuá koeʻuhí ʻoku nau loto-mamahi ʻi he siasí. Ko ia, ʻuluaki ʻeke ki he tokotaha ko iá ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne tui ki aí mo e ʻuhinga ʻokú ne tui ai ki aí. Fanongo lelei leva ki he meʻa ʻokú ne leaʻakí. Kapau te ke fai pehē, te ne fie fanongo atu nai kiate koe.​—Tai. 3:2.

Naʻá ne tānaki mai: “ʻOku fakaofoʻia nai ha taha ʻi he fihituʻu naʻa mo e kiʻi meʻa faingofua taha ʻi he moʻuí.”

14. Ko e hā ʻa e fakaʻuhinga faingofua ʻe lava ke ke ngāueʻaki ʻi he lāulea ki he fakatupú?
