‘Fakamamaʻo mei he Lāungá’
“Mou fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe ʻo taʻe ha lāunga.”—FILIPAI 2:14.
1, 2. Ko e hā ʻa e akonaki naʻe fai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻi Filipai mo Kolinitoó, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
ʻI HEʻENE tohi fakamānavaʻi fakaʻotua ki he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiane ʻi he taimi ʻo e kau ʻapositoló ʻi Filipaí, naʻe fai ai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ha fakaongoongolelei lahi. Naʻá ne fakaongoongoleleiʻi hono kaungātui ʻi he kolo lahi ko iá ʻi heʻenau nima-homó mo e loto-faivelengá, pea naʻá ne fiefia ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngāue leleí. Kae kehe, naʻe fakamanatu ʻe Paula kiate kinautolu ke nau “fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe ʻo taʻe ha lāunga.” (Filipai 2:14) Ko e hā naʻe fai ai ʻe he ʻapositoló ʻa e enginaki ko ʻení?
2 Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e meʻa ʻe malava ke iku atu ki ai ʻa e lāungá. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu siʻi ki muʻá, naʻá ne fakamanatu ai ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻi Kolinitoó ʻoku malava ke fakatuʻutāmaki ʻa e lāungá. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Paula ko e lolotonga ko ia ʻa e ʻi he toafá ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí, naʻa nau toutou langaʻi ʻa e houhau ʻa Sihová. ʻI he founga fē? ʻI he holi ki he ngaahi meʻa koví, ko e tōʻongaʻaki ʻa e tauhi ʻaitolí mo e feʻauakí, ko hono ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻo Sihová, pea ʻi he lāungá. Naʻe fakalototoʻaʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e kau Kolinitoó ke nau ako mei he ngaahi meʻa ko ʻení. Naʻá ne tohi: “ʻOua te mou lāunga ʻo hangeā ko e lāunga ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e kakai na, ʻo nau mole ʻi he ngaue ʻa Fakaʻauha.”—1 Kolinito 10:6-11.
3. Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai he ʻahó ni ʻa e tuʻunga-lea fekauʻaki mo e lāungá?

(Sione 13:34, 35) Kae kehe, ʻi he vakai atu ki he maumau naʻe fakatupunga ʻe he lāungá ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he kuohilí, ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻa e ʻuhinga lelei ke tau tukulotoʻi ʻa e akonakí ni: “Mou fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe ʻo taʻe ha lāunga.” Tau ʻuluaki fakakaukau angé ki he ngaahi fakatātā ʻo e lāungá ʻoku lave ki ai ʻi he Tohi Tapú. Hili iá te tau lāulea leva ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻe niʻihi ʻe malava ke tau fai ke taʻofiʻaki ʻa e lāungá mei heʻene fakatupunga ʻa e maumau ʻi he ʻaho ní.
Lāunga ʻa ha Fakataha Kovi ʻo Fekauʻaki mo Sihova
4. ʻI he founga fē naʻe lāunga ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he toafá?
4 Ko e foʻi lea faka-Hepelū ʻoku ʻuhinga ‘ki he lāungá, muhú, ngulú pe hanú’ ʻoku ngāueʻaki ia ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e taʻu ʻe 40 ʻo e ʻi he toafá ʻa ʻIsilelí. ʻI he taimi ʻe taha, naʻe taʻefiemālie ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ki honau tuʻunga ʻi he moʻuí pea nau fakahaaʻi ia ʻi he lāunga. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi he hili pē ha ngaahi uike siʻi mei honau fakahaofi mei he nofo pōpula ʻi ʻIsipité, “naʻe lāunga ʻa e fakataha kotoa ʻo haʻa ʻIsileli kia Mosese mo Elone.” Naʻe lāunga ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻo fekauʻaki mo e meʻakaí, ʻo nau pehē: “Taumaiā naʻa mau mate ʻi he nima ʻo Sihova ʻi Isipite, lolotonga naʻa mau feangai mo e ngaahi kulo kakano, mo kai ma ʻo makona; he kuo mo ʻomi kimautolu ki he toafa ni ke tamateʻi ʻa e fuʻu fakataha ni ʻi he honge.”—Ekisoto 16:1-3.
5. ʻI he taimi naʻe lāunga ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí, naʻe fakahangatonu moʻoni ʻenau lāungá kia hai?
5 ʻI hono kehé, naʻe tokoniʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻaki ʻa e meʻa naʻe fiemaʻu kiate kinautolu ʻi he toafá, ʻi hono tokonaki ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻa e meʻakai mo e vai. Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ha fakatuʻatamaki ia ʻo pehē ʻe mate ʻa e kakai ʻIsilelí ʻi ha honge ʻi he toafá. Ka, ʻi ha laumālie ʻo e taʻefiemālié, naʻa nau fakalahiʻi ai ʻa e tuʻunga faingataʻa naʻa nau ʻi aí pea kamata ke lāunga. Neongo naʻe fakahangatonu ʻenau ngaahi lāungá kia Mōsese mo ʻĒlone, ʻi he vakai ʻa Sihová naʻe fakahanga moʻoni ʻenau taʻefiemālié kiate Ia tonu. Naʻe tala ʻe Mōsese ki he kau ʻIsilelí: “Ko ʻene fanongo [ʻa Sihova] ki hoʻo mou lāunga ʻa ia ʻoku mou fai kiate ia; pea ko e ha kimaua? ʻoku ʻikai ko kimaua ʻoku mou lāunga ki ai, ka ko Sihova.”—Ekisoto 16:4-8.
6, 7. Hangē ko ia ʻoku hā ʻi he Nomipa 14:1-3, naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e liliu ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí?
6 ʻIkai fuoloa mei ai, naʻe toe lāunga ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí. Naʻe fekauʻi atu ʻe Mōsese ha kau tangata ʻe toko 12 ke nau asiasi ki he Fonua ʻo e Talaʻofá. Naʻe foki mai ha toko 10 ʻo kinautolu mo ha ongoongo kovi. Ko e hā hono olá? “Pea launga ʻa haʻa Isileli katoa kia Mosese mo Elone: pea naʻe pehe kiate kinaua ʻe he fakataha katoa, Taumaiā naʻa mau mate ʻi Isipite! pe taumaiā naʻa mau mate ʻi he toafa ni! Pea ko e ha kuo ʻomi ai kimautolu ʻe Sihova ki he fonua ni [Kēnani] ke mau to ʻi he heleta, kae taki popula homau uaifi mo e fanau? ne mei lelei muʻa ʻetau foki ki Isipite?”—Nomipa 14:1-3.
7 He liliu lahi ē ko e fakakaukau ʻa ʻIsilelí! ʻI he ʻuluaki taimí, naʻe ueʻi kinautolu ʻe heʻenau houngaʻia ki honau fakatauʻatāinaʻi mei ʻIsipité pea mo honau fakahaofi ʻi he Tahi Kulokulá ke nau hiva fakamālō kia Sihova. (Ekisoto 15:1-21) Kae kehe, ʻi heʻenau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi tuʻunga taʻefakafiemālie ʻo e toafá mo e manavahē ki he kau Kēnaní, naʻe fetongi ai ʻa e houngaʻia ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻe ha laumālie ʻo e taʻefiemālie. ʻI he ʻikai ke nau fakamālō ki he ʻOtuá ki heʻenau tauʻatāiná, naʻa nau tukuakiʻi ia ki he meʻa naʻa nau vakai fehālaaki ki ai ko e fakahongeʻi. Ko ia ai, naʻe hoko ʻa e lāungá ko ha fakahaaʻi ia ʻo e ʻikai ha houngaʻia totonu ki he ngaahi tokonaki ʻa Sihová. Tā neʻineʻi ke ne pehē: “Ko futu ʻeku kataki ʻa e fakataha kovi ni, ʻakinautolu na ʻoku launga mai kiate au.”—Nomipa 14:27; 21:5.
