“Ko e Falelotu Moʻo e Kakai Kotoa Pe”
“ʻIkai kuo tohi, Ko hoku fale ʻe ui ko e falelotu moʻo e kakai kotoa pe?”—MAʻAKE 11:17.
1. Ko e hā ʻa e faʻahinga vahaʻangatae mo e ʻOtuá naʻe ʻuluaki fiefia ai ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIví?
ʻI HE ʻosi ʻa hono fakatupu ʻo ʻĀtama mo ʻIví, naʻá na fiefia ʻi ha vahaʻangatae vāofi mo ʻena Tamai fakahēvaní. Naʻe fetuʻutaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mo kinaua mo fakahā ʻa ʻene taumuʻa fakaofo ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. ʻOku pau, naʻe faʻa ueʻi kinaua ke na kamata ke fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ko ʻene ngaahi ngāue fisifisimuʻa ʻo e fakatupú.

Naʻe ʻikai ke fiemaʻu kiate kinaua ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻa ha taulaʻeiki ʻi ha temipale.—Sēnesi 1:28.
2. Ko e hā ʻa e liliu naʻe hoko ʻi he faiangahala ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIví?
2 Naʻe liliu ʻa e tuʻungá ia ʻi he taimi naʻe hanga ai ʻe ha ʻāngelo angatuʻu ʻo fakataueleʻi ʻa ʻIvi ke fakakaukau ko hono tuʻunga ʻi he moʻuí ʻe fakalakalaka ʻo kapau te ne siʻaki ʻa e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová, ʻo pehē te ne “hange ko e ʻOtua.” Ko ia ai, naʻe kai ʻa ʻIvi ʻa e fua mei he fuʻu ʻakau naʻe tapui ʻe he ʻOtuá. Naʻe ngāueʻaki leva ʻe Sētane ʻa ʻIvi ke fakataueleʻi ʻa hono husepānití. Ko e meʻa fakamamahí, naʻe fakaongo ʻa ʻĀtama ki hono uaifi angahalaʻiá, ʻo fakahaaʻi ai naʻá ne fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa hono vahaʻangatae mo iá ʻo lahi ange ia ʻi hono vahaʻangatae mo e ʻOtuá. (Sēnesi 3:4-7) Ko hono olá, naʻe fili ʻe ʻĀtama ia mo ʻIvi ʻa Sētane ke hoko ko hona ʻotua.—Fakafehoanaki mo 2 Kolinitō 4:4.
3. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi nunuʻa kovi ʻo e angatuʻu ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIví?
3 ʻI hono fai iá, naʻe mole ai mei he ʻuluaki ongo mātuʻa fakaetangatá ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi hona vahaʻangatae maʻongoʻonga mo e ʻOtuá kae toe pehē foki ki he ʻamanaki ʻo e moʻui taʻengata ʻi ha palataisi ʻi he māmaní. (Sēnesi 2:16, 17) Ko hona sino angahalaʻiá naʻe faai hifo ʻo aʻu ki heʻena mate. Naʻe tukufakaholo mai ʻi heʻena fānaú ʻa e tuʻunga angahalaʻia ko ʻení. “Ko ia,” ʻoku fakamatala ʻe he Tohitapú, naʻe “aʻusia pehe ʻa e kakai kotoa pe ʻe he mate.”—Loma 5:12.
4. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻamanaki naʻe fokotuʻu mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ki he faʻahinga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá?
4 Naʻe fiemaʻu ha meʻa ke fakaleleiʻaki ʻa e faʻahinga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá ki honau Tokotaha-Fakatupu māʻoniʻoní. ʻI hono tautea ʻo ʻĀtama mo ʻIví, naʻe ʻoange ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ʻamanaki ki heʻena fānau ʻi he kahaʻú ʻaki ʻa e talaʻofa fekauʻaki mo ha “hako” te ne fakahaofi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá mei he ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo e angatuʻu ʻa Sētané. (Sēnesi 3:15) Ki mui mai, naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo pehē ko e Hako ʻo e tāpuakí ʻe hoko mai ia ʻo fakafou mai ʻia ʻĒpalahame. (Sēnesi 22:18) ʻI hono manatuʻi ʻa e taumuʻa anga-ʻofa ko ʻení, naʻe fili ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi hako ʻo ʻĒpalahamé, ko e kau ʻIsilelí, ke hoko ko ʻene kakai kuo fili.
5. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he ngaahi fakaikiiki ʻo e Lao fuakava ʻa e ʻOtuá mo ʻIsilelí?
5 ʻI he 1513 K.M., naʻe hū ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ki ha vahaʻangatae fakaefuakava mo e ʻOtuá pea nau loto ke talangofua ki heʻene ngaahi laó.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Paula naʻe kau ai “ʻa e ʻata pe ʻo e ngaahi lelei ka hoko.” (Hepelū 10:1) ʻI he taimi naʻe fai ai ʻe Paula ʻa e fakamatalá ni, naʻá ne lāulea ki he ngāue ʻa e kau taulaʻeiki ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻi ha tāpanekale fehikitaki, pe tēniti ʻo e lotú. Naʻe ui ia ko e “Temipale ʻo Sihova” pe “fale ʻo Sihova.” (1 Sāmiuela 1:9, 24) ʻI hono sivisiviʻi ʻa e ngāue toputapu naʻe fakahoko ʻi he fale ʻo Sihová ʻi he māmaní, ʻoku malava ke tau hoko ai ʻo houngaʻia kakato ange ʻi he fokotuʻutuʻu manavaʻofa ko ia ʻoku malava ke fakaleleiʻaki ʻa e faʻahinga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá he ʻahó ni ki he ʻOtuá.

6 “Oku ikai nofo ae Fugani Maoluga i he gaahi fale kuo gaohi aki ae nima,” ko e fakahā ia ʻe he Tohitapú. (Ngāue 7:48, PM) Kae kehe, ko e ʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hono fale ʻi he māmaní naʻe fakafofongaʻi ia ʻe ha konga ʻao ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e loki naʻe ui ko e Potu Toputapú. (Livitikō 16:2) ʻOku hā mahino, ko e konga ʻao ko ʻení naʻe ulo ngingila, ʻo maama ai ʻa e Potu Toputapú. Naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi ʻolunga ʻi ha puha toputapu naʻe ui ko e “aake fakamoʻoniʻanga,” ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ongo maka lafalafa naʻe tohi tongi ai ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi fekau naʻe ʻoange ʻe he ʻOtuá ki ʻIsilelí. ʻI he funga tāpuni ʻo e ʻAʻaké naʻe ʻi ai ha ongo selupimi koula naʻe mafola atu ʻa hona ngaahi kapakaú, ʻa ia naʻe fakatātaaʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻamoʻui laumālie ʻoku ʻi he tuʻunga māʻolunga ʻi he kautaha fakahēvani ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko e konga ʻao maama fakaemaná naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he funga tāpuní pea ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ongo selupimí. (ʻEkisoto 25:22) Naʻe fakatātaaʻi ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e ʻafio ʻa e ʻOtua Māfimafi-Aoniú ʻi ha saliote fakahēvani ʻoku poupouʻi ʻe he ngaahi selupimi moʻui. (1 Kalonikali 28:18) ʻOkú ne fakamatalaʻi mai ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻe lotu ai ʻa Tuʻi Hesekaia: “ʻE Sihova Sapaoti, ʻOtua ʻo Isileli, ʻoku ke ʻafioa ʻa e ongo selupimi.”—ʻAisea 37:15, 16.

8. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ngāue naʻe fakahoko maʻu pē ʻe he kau taulaʻeikí ʻi he Potu Tapú?
8 ʻI he pongipongi kotoa pē mo e efiafi kotoa pē, naʻe pau ke hū ai ha taulaʻeiki ki he tāpanekalé ʻo tutu ʻinisēnisi ʻi he ʻōlita ʻo e ʻinisēnisí. (ʻEkisoto 30:7, 8) ʻI he pongipongí, lolotonga hono tutu ʻo e ʻinisēnisí, ko e ngaahi foʻi maama ʻe fitu ʻi he tuʻunga-maama koulá naʻe pau ke toe fakafonu ʻaki ʻa e lolo. Naʻe tutu leva ʻa e ngaahi maamá ʻi he efiafí ke maama ʻa e Potu Tapú. ʻI he Sāpate kotoa pē naʻe pau ki ha taulaʻeiki ke ne tuku ʻa e foʻi mā foʻou ʻe 12 ʻi he funga tēpile ʻo e mā fonó.—Livitikō 24:4-8.

Naʻe pau foki ke nau fakamaʻa kinautolu ki muʻa pea toki fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau ʻi he ʻōlita naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi he lotoʻaá. (ʻEkisoto 30:18-21) Ko e fiemaʻu ko ʻeni fekauʻaki mo e fakamaʻá ko ha fakamanatu mālohi ia ki he kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻaho ní kuo pau ke nau feinga ke nau maʻa fakasino, fakaeʻulungaanga, fakaefakakaukau, mo fakalaumālie ʻo kapau ʻoku nau fiemaʻu ke tali ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻenau lotú. (2 Kolinitō 6:19 [2Ko 7:1, PM]) ʻI he faai mai ʻa e taimí ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he temipalé naʻe ʻikai ko e ʻIsilelí naʻe tuku ki ai ke nau tokonaki mai ʻa e fefie ki he ʻōlitá mo e vai ki he pēsoní.—Siōsiua 9:26 (9:27, PM).
10. Ko e hā ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi feilaulau naʻe fai ʻi he ʻōlita ʻo e feilaulaú?
10 ʻI he pongipongi kotoa pē mo e efiafi kotoa pē, naʻe tutu ai ʻi he ʻōlitá ha kiʻi lami feilaulau fakataha mo ha uite kuo momosi mo e feilaulau inu.

(Livitikō 5:5, 6) ʻI ha ngaahi taimi kehe naʻe malava ai ʻe ha taha ʻIsileli ke ne fai ʻi he loto-tauʻatāina ha feilaulau fakafeohi ʻa ia ko e ngaahi konga ʻo e meʻa ko iá naʻe kai ʻe he kau taulaʻeikí pea pehē ki he tokotaha naʻá ne fai ʻa e feilaulaú. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he meʻá ni ko e kau faiangahala fakaetangatá naʻe malava ke nau melino mo e ʻOtuá, ʻo hangē naʻa nau maʻu meʻatokoni fakataha mo iá.

Ka ke fakahāhā ʻa e fakalāngilangi ʻoku totonu kia Sihová, naʻe tali pē ʻe he kau taulaʻeikí ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau naʻe ʻi he tuʻunga lelei tahá. Ko e ʻelitoʻi mahoaʻa ki he ngaahi feilaulaú naʻe pau ke momosi ke momomomo iiki ʻaupito, pea ko e fanga manu ki he ngaahi feilaulaú naʻe pau ke nau taʻemele.—Livitikō 2:1; 22:18-20; Malakai 1:6-8.

(Loma 7:24, 25; Kalētia 3:24; fakafehoanaki mo Hepelū 10:3.) Ko hono ngāueʻaki toputapu ko ʻeni ʻo e totó naʻá ne toe fakamanatu ai ki he kau ʻIsilelí ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he totó ʻa e moʻuí pea ko e moʻuí ʻoku ʻa e ʻOtuá ia.

16 ʻI hono fakatapui ʻo e temipale nāunauʻia ko iá, naʻe fakakau ai ʻe Solomone ʻa e kole fakamānavaʻi ko ʻení: “Ko e muli foki ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai ke kau ki ho kakai Isileli; ka haʻu ia mei ha fonua mamaʻo koeʻuhi ko ho fuʻu huafa, . . . ka haʻu ia ʻo lotu ki he fale ni: pea ke fanongo ʻa e ʻAfiona mei langi, mei ho ʻafioʻanga na, pea ke fakaai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tautapa ai kiate koe ʻa siʻi muli; koeʻuhia ke ʻilo ho huafa ʻe he ngaahi kakai ʻo mamani, pea ke nau ʻapasia ki he ʻAfiona ʻo hange ko ho kakai Isileli, pea ke nau ʻilo ko ho huafa ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa e fale ko eni kuo u langa.” (2 Kalonikali 6:32, 33) ʻI ha founga hā mahino, naʻe fakahāhā ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻene tali ʻa e lotu fakatapui ʻa Solomoné.

Kae kehe, naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke nau tatau ai mo e kau taulaʻeikí mo e kau Līvaí.—ʻĒsela 7:24; 8:17, 20.
