Ko e Ngaahi Tāpuaki ʻo e Ngāue Fakafaifekau Tāimuʻá
1, 2. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku fekauʻaki vāofi mo e ngāue fakafaifekau tāimuʻá, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
1 “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ha toe ngāue kehe naʻá ne mei malava ke ʻomai kiate au ʻa e fiemālie ko ia kuo hoko mai ʻi hono vahevahe atu ʻa e moʻoní ki he niʻihi kehé,” ko e lau ia ʻa ha tāimuʻa ʻe taha. Naʻe toe pehē ʻe ha tokotaha: “ʻI he fakaʻosinga ʻo e ʻaho taki taha ʻoku ifo ʻeku mohé, pea ʻoku fonu ʻi he fiefia ʻa hoku lotó.” Ko e ongo tāimuʻá ni ʻokú na fakafofongaʻi ʻa e fanga tokoua mo e fanga tuofāfine ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē kuo nau hokosia ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekau tāimuʻá.—Pal. 10:22.
2 Ko hono tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau maʻu ʻa e ʻilo fakahaofi moʻui ʻo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻomai ai ʻa e fiemālie moʻoni. (Ng. 20:35; 1 Tes. 2:19, 20) “ʻOku fakafiefia mo fakatuimālohi ke sio ki he anga ʻo e mālohi ʻo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene ueʻi ʻa e kakaí ke fai ʻa e ngaahi liliu ʻi heʻenau moʻuí,” ko e tohi ia ʻa ha tāimuʻa taimi lōloa. ʻIo, ʻi hono fakafaingamālieʻi kinautolu ke nau tokoniʻi ʻa e kakaí pea fai ʻa e ngaahi ako Tohitapú, ʻoku tuku atu ai ʻe he kau tāimuʻá kinautolu ki he ngaahi tāpuaki hangē ko ení.
3, 4. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono akoʻi ʻe he ngāue tāimuʻá ha tokotaha ke ne falala kia Sihová, pea ʻoku anga-fēfē ʻa e tokoniʻi ʻe he meʻá ni ha taha ke tupu fakalaumālié?
3 Falala kia Sihova: Ko e falala fakaʻaho ki he laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻenau fakahoko ʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻoku tokoniʻi ai ʻa e kau tāimuʻá ke nau fakatupulekina ʻa e “fua ʻo e Laumalie” pea ʻoku hoko ia ko ha maluʻi kia kinautolu. (Kal. 5:16, 22, 23) Tānaki atu ki ai, koeʻuhi ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki tuʻumaʻu ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku faʻa pōtoʻi ʻa e kau tāimuʻá ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi Konga Tohitapú ke taukapoʻi ʻaki ʻa e moʻoní pea ke fakaivimālohiʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé. (2 Tim. 2:15) Ko ha tokoua ʻa ia kuo tāimuʻa ʻi he laui hongofuluʻi taʻu naʻá ne pehē: “Kuo tokoniʻi au ʻe he tāimuʻá ke maʻu ha ʻilo loloto ʻo e Tohitapú, ko ha ʻilo kuó u ngāueʻaki ke tokoniʻi ʻa e kakai tokolahi ke ʻiloʻi ʻa Sihova mo ʻene taumuʻá.” He meʻa fakafiemālie moʻoni ia!
4 Ko e kau tāimuʻa tuʻumaʻú kuo pau ke nau toe falala kia Sihova ʻi he ngaahi founga lahi kehe. ʻOku ʻai ʻo mālohi ʻenau tuí ʻi heʻenau sio ki he founga ʻo ʻene tāpuakiʻi ʻenau ngaahi feinga ke tokonaki ki heʻenau ngaahi fiemaʻu fakamatelié. Ko ha tāimuʻa tuʻumaʻu taʻu 72 ʻa ia kuo tāimuʻa he taʻu ʻe 55 naʻá ne pehē: “Kuo ʻikai teitei liʻaki au ʻe Sihova.” ʻIkai ko ia pē, ʻi hono tauhi ʻenau moʻuí ke faingofuá, ʻoku maluʻi ai ʻe he kau tāimuʻá kinautolu mei he ngaahi loto-moʻua lahi ʻi he moʻuí. ʻOku fakamānako eni kiate koe?—Mt. 6:22; Hep. 13:5, 6.
5. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono tokoniʻi ʻe he ngāue tāimuʻá ha taha ke ne ʻunuʻunu ofi kia Sihová?
5 ʻUnuʻunu Ofi ki he ʻOtuá: Ko hotau vahaʻangatae mo Sihová ko ha koloa mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ia. (Sāme 63:3) ʻI heʻetau kau kakato ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻi he ʻofa kia Sihová, ʻoku tupu ʻo ofi ange ai ʻa e vahaʻangatae ko iá. (Sem. 4:8) Ko ha tāimuʻa ʻi he laka hake he taʻu ʻe 18 naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku fakaʻatā kitautolu ʻe he ngāue tāimuʻá ke ‘ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻoku lelei ʻa Sihova,’ ʻi he ʻaho ki he ʻaho ʻokú ne fakatupunga ha vahaʻangatae mālohi ange mo hotau Tokotaha-Fakatupú.”—Sāme 34:8, NW.
6. Ko e hā kuo pau ke maʻu ʻe he kau tāimuʻá, pea ko hai tuku kehe ʻa e kau tāimuʻá tonu ʻoku maʻu ʻaongá?
6 Tānaki atu ki hono maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻoku fiemaʻú, ko e kau tāimuʻá kuo pau ke nau maʻu ha tui mālohi, ʻofa moʻoni ki he ʻOtuá mo e kaungāʻapí, pea mo ha loto-lelei ke fai ha ngaahi feilaulau. (Mt. 16:24; 17:20; 22:37-39) Kae kehe, hangē ko ia ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he ngaahi fofonga malimali ʻo e kau tāimuʻá ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē, ko e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekau tāimuʻá ʻoku mahulu atu ia. (Mal. 3:10) Ko e ngaahi tāpuakí ni ʻoku ʻikai fakangatangata pē ia ki he kau tāimuʻá, ka ko honau ngaahi fāmilí mo e fakatahaʻangá ʻoku nau toe maʻu ʻaonga mei he laumālie lelei ʻoku fakahāhā ʻe he kau tāimuʻá.—Fili. 4:23.
