Kau Kakato ʻi he Utu-Taʻú
1 Ko e kau palōfita ʻa Sihova ʻi he kuonga muʻá pea pehē kia Sīsū Kalaisi tonu naʻa nau lea ʻo fekauʻaki mo ha ngāue fakatahatahaʻi. (Ai. 56:8; Isi. 34:11; Sione 10:16) Ko ha ngāue pehē ʻoku lolotonga fakahoko ia he taimí ni ʻa ia ko hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻi māmani lahi. (Mt. 24:14) Ko e faikehekehe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku ngāue ki he ʻOtuá pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻikai ke ngāue kiate iá ʻoku hoko ʻo hā mahino ʻaupito. (Mal. 3:18) Ko e hā ʻene ʻuhinga eni kiate kitautolú?
2 Ko ha Fatongia Fakafoʻituitui: ʻOku lava ke tau ako mei he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Paulá, ʻa ia naʻá ne kau kakato ʻi hono takimuʻa ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekau faka-Kalisitiané. Naʻá ne ongoʻi loloto ʻa e fatongia ke malangá koeʻuhi ke malava ʻo maʻu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ha faingamālie ke fanongo ai ki he ongoongo leleí pea nau hao. Naʻe ueʻi ai heni ia ke ne ngāue taʻetuku maʻanautolu. (Loma 1:14-17) ʻI he vakai atu ki he tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku fehangahangai mo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi he ʻaho ní, ʻikai ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e fatongia lahi ange ke malanga ai ki he faʻahinga ʻi hotau feituʻu ngāué?—1 Kol. 9:16.
3 Taimi ki he Ngāue Fakavavevave: Ko e ngāue fakamalangá ʻoku lava ke fakahoa atu ia ki ha ngāue kumi-mo-fakahaofi. Kuo pau ke kumi pea tokoniʻi ʻa e kakaí ke nau hao ki muʻa ke fuʻu tōmui. ʻOku fakangatangata ʻa e taimí. Ko e moʻuí ʻoku ʻi he tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki! ʻOku ʻikai ha ofo ʻi hono enginakiʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene kau ākongá ke nau “kole ki he ʻEiki ʻoku aʻana ʻa e taʻu, ke ne kouna atu mo ha kau ngaue ke utu ʻene taʻu.”—Mt. 9:38.
4 Ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻa hono fakavavevavé ʻi he ʻahó ni, kuo fakalahi ai ʻe he kau ngāue tokolahi ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻenau kau ʻi he ngāue fakaefakahaofi moʻui ko ʻení. Ko ha taʻu hongofulu tupu ko hono hingoá ko Hirohisa naʻe nofo ʻi ha ʻapi mātuʻa-taha fakataha mo hono fanga tokoua iiki ʻe toko fā. Naʻá ne poupouʻi hono fāmilí ʻaki ʻene tuʻu hake ʻi he tolu hengihengí ke tufa ʻa e ngaahi nusipepá. Naʻa mo ia, naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe Hirohisa ke ne fai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ko ia naʻá ne kamata ke ngāue tāimuʻa tuʻumaʻu. ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi founga te ke malava ai ke kau kakato ange ʻi he ngāue ko ʻeni ʻa ia heʻikai ʻaupito ke toe faí?
5 “Kuo fakanounou ʻa e kuonga.” (1 Kol. 7:29) Ko ia ai, ʻofa ke tau fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa te tau malava ke fai ʻi he ngāue mahuʻinga lahi taha kuo fai ʻi he māmaní he ʻaho ní—ko hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá mo e ngaohi-ākongá. Naʻe fakatatau ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekau ko ʻení ki ha ngāue utu-taʻu. (Mt. 9:35-38) ʻI heʻetau kau kakato ʻi he utu-taʻú, ko e fua ʻo ʻetau ngāué ʻe fakakau nai ai ʻa hono tokoniʻi ha taha ke ne hoko ko e konga ʻo e fuʻu kakai lahi ʻo e kau lotu ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Fakahā 7:9, 10.
