1. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e hoko ʻo fāʻeleʻi mai ʻa e fuofua pēpē fakaetangatá?
FAKAKAUKAU atu ki he ngaahi meʻa fakaemana naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ke malava ʻi he founga naʻá ne fakatupu ai ʻa e ʻuluaki tangatá mo e fefiné. Naʻe foaki fakatouʻosi ʻe he tamaí, ʻe ʻĀtama, mo e faʻeé, ʻe ʻIvi, ha konga ʻo kinaua ʻa ia naʻe tupu ʻi loto ʻi he manava ʻo ʻIví ʻo hoko ai ha tokotaha faʻunga kakato foʻou—ko e fuofua pēpē fakaetangatá. (Senesi 4:1) Mei ai ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni, ko e tuʻituʻiaʻi mo e fāʻeleʻi ʻo ha kiʻi tamá ʻokú ne ʻai kitautolu ke tau ofoofo pea ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ia ʻe he tokolahi ko ha mana moʻoni.
2. Ko e hā te ke pehē ai ko ha mana ʻa e meʻa ʻoku hoko ʻi loto ʻi he manava ʻo ha fefine feitamá?
2 ʻI loto ʻi he ʻaho ʻe 270 nai, ko e fuofua kiʻi sela naʻe fakatupu ʻi loto ʻi he faʻeé ko e tupu mei heʻene fehokotaki mo e tamaí ʻoku tupu ia ʻo hoko ko ha pēpē naʻe faʻuʻaki ʻa e fanga kiʻi sela ʻe laui tiliona. Naʻe ʻi he fuofua kiʻi sela ko iá ʻa e ngaahi fakahinohino naʻe fiemaʻu ki hono fakatupu ʻa e ngaahi faʻahinga sela ʻoku laka hake ʻi he 200. ʻI he muimui ki he ngaahi fakahinohino fakaofo ko iá, ʻa ia ʻoku mahulu atu ia mei he mahino fakaetangatá, ʻoku tupulekina ʻa e fanga kiʻi sela fihi mo fakaofo ko ʻení ki he hokohoko mo e founga totonu tofu pē ko ia ke faʻu ai ha tokotaha moʻui foʻoú!
3. Ko e hā ʻoku loto-tatau ai ʻa e kakai fakakaukau lelei tokolahi kuo pau pē ke tuku ki he ʻOtuá ʻa e fāʻeleʻi mai ʻo ha tokotaha moʻui foʻoú?
3 Ko hai te ke pehē, ko e tokotaha-ngaohi moʻoni ia ʻo e pēpeé? ʻOku pau moʻoni ko e Tokotaha ko ia naʻá ne fakatupu ʻa e moʻuí tonu. Naʻe hiva ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-saame ʻo e Tohi Tapú: “Mou ilo ko Jihova ko ia be koe Otua: ko ia be naa ne gaohi akitautolu, ka nae ikai te tau gaohi akitautolu.” (Sāme 100:3, PM) Ngaahi mātuʻa, ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi lelei ʻoku ʻikai koeʻuhi ko ha faʻahinga malava makehe pē ʻi hoʻomou tafaʻakí kuo mou fakatupu ai ha kiʻi tokotaha foʻou mahuʻinga peheé. Ko ha ʻOtua pē ʻo e poto taʻefakangatangata ʻe malava ke tuku ki ai ʻa e fakatupu fakaemana ʻo ha tangata moʻui foʻou. ʻI he laui afeʻi taʻu, kuo tuku ai ʻe he kakai fakakaukau leleí ʻa e fakatupu ʻo ha kiʻi tama ʻi loto ʻi he manava ʻo ʻene faʻeé ki he Tokotaha-Fakatupu Maʻongoʻongá. ʻOkú ke fai pehē mo koe?—Sāme 139:13-16.
4. Ko e hā ʻa e mele fakaetangata ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito malava ke tuku kia Sihová?
4 Neongo ia, ko Sihová ko ha Tokotaha-Fakatupu taʻeongoʻi naʻá ne fokotuʻu pē ha foʻi ngāue fakapaiolosī ʻa ia naʻe malava ke fakatupu fānau ai ʻa e kakai tangatá mo e kakai fefiné? Ko e niʻihi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻoku nau taʻeongoʻi, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ke pehē ʻa Sihova ia. (Sāme 78:38-40) ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻi he Sāme 127:3 (PM): “Vakai, koe fānau koe tofia mei a Jihova: bea koe fua oe manāva ko ene totogi.” Tau lāulea angé ʻi he taimí ni ki he tofiʻá pea mo e meʻa ʻokú ne fakamoʻoniʻi mai kiate kitautolú.

5. Ko e hā ko ha tofiʻa ai ʻa e fānaú?
5 Ko ha tofiʻa ʻoku hangē ia ha meʻaʻofá. ʻOku faʻa ngāue fuoloa mo mālohi ʻa e ongo mātuʻá ke tuku ki heʻena fānaú ha tofiʻa. ʻOku kau nai ki ai ha paʻanga, kelekele, pe ko ha koloa mahuʻinga nai. Tatau ai pē pe ko e hā, ko e fakamoʻoni ia ʻo e ʻofa ʻa ha mātuʻa. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtuá ki he ngaahi mātuʻá ʻenau fānaú ko ha tofiʻa. Ko ha meʻaʻofa anga-ʻofa kinautolu meiate ia. Kapau ko ha mātuʻa koe, te ke pehē ʻoku fakahāhā ʻe hoʻo ngaahi ngāué ʻokú ke vakai ki he fānaú ko ha meʻaʻofa kuo ʻoatu kiate koe ʻe he Tokotaha-Fakatupu ʻo e ʻunivēsí?
6. Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki hono ʻai ke malava ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻo maʻu fānaú?
6 Ko e taumuʻa ʻa Sihova ʻi hono foaki ʻa e meʻaʻofa ko ʻení ke fakakakai ʻa e māmaní ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi hako ʻo ʻĀtama mo ʻIví. (Senesi 1:27, 28; Aisea 45:18) Naʻe ʻikai ke fakatupu fakalautelau ʻe Sihova ʻa e tangata taki taha kotoa pē, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá ne fai ki he laui miliona ʻo e kau ʻāngeló. (Sāme 104:4; Fakahā 4:11) ʻI hono kehé, naʻe fili ʻe he ʻOtuá ke ne fakatupu ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá fakataha mo e malava ke nau fakatupu mai ʻa e fānau ʻa ia te nau hokosi ʻenau ongo mātuʻá ʻi he ngaahi founga meimei tatau. Ko ha monū fakaofo ē ki ha faʻē mo ha tamai ke na fanauʻi mai mo tokangaʻi ha tokotaha foʻou pehē! ʻI he tuʻunga ko e ongo mātuʻá, ʻokú mo fakamālō kia Sihova ʻi hono ʻai ke mo malava ʻo mo maʻu ʻa e tofiʻa mahuʻingá ni?

7. ʻI hono kehe mei he meʻa ʻoku fai ʻe he ngaahi mātuʻa ʻe niʻihi, naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Sīsū ʻene mahuʻingaʻia mo ʻene manavaʻofa ki he “ngaahi foha ʻo e tangatá”?
7 ʻOku fakamamahi ke leaʻaki, ʻoku ʻikai ke fakakaukau ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻa kotoa pē ki he fānaú ko ha totongi. ʻOku fakahāhā ʻe he tokolahi ʻa e manavaʻofa siʻisiʻi pē ki heʻenau fānaú. ʻOku ʻikai ke tapua mai mei he ngaahi mātuʻa peheé ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa Sihová pe ko e fakakaukau ʻa hono ʻAló. (Sāme 27:10; Aisea 49:15) ʻI hono kehé, fakakaukau atu angé ki he mahuʻingaʻia ʻa Sīsū ʻi he fānaú. Naʻa mo e ki muʻa ke hoko mai ʻa Sīsū ki he māmaní ko ha tangatá—ʻi he taimi naʻá ne kei hoko ai ko ha tokotaha laumālie māfimafi ʻi hēvaní—ʻoku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko ʻene “fiefia kakató naʻe ʻi he ngaahi foha ʻo e tangatá.” (Palovepi 8:31, Rotherham) Naʻe lahi fau ʻene ʻofa ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻo ne foaki loto-lelei ai ʻene moʻuí ko ha huhuʻi koeʻuhi ke tau malava ai ʻo maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá.—Mātiu 20:28; Sione 10:18.
8. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fokotuʻu ʻe Sīsū ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ki he ngaahi mātuʻá?
8 Lolotonga ʻene ʻi māmaní, naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sīsū ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei tautefito ki he ngaahi mātuʻá. Fakakaukau atu ki he meʻa naʻá ne faí. Naʻá ne vaheʻi ha taimi ki he fānaú, naʻa mo e taimi naʻá ne femoʻuekina ʻaupito ai mo loto-mafasiá. Naʻá ne siofi kinautolu ʻi heʻenau vaʻinga ʻi he faiʻanga fakataú pea ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tafaʻaki ʻo ʻenau tōʻongá ʻi heʻene faiakó. (Mātiu 11:16, 17) ʻI he lolotonga ʻene fononga fakaʻosi ki Selusalemá, naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sīsū te ne faingataʻaʻia pea ʻe tāmateʻi ai ia. Ko ia ʻi hono ʻomai ʻe he kakaí ʻa e fānaú ke nau sio kiate iá, naʻe feinga ʻa e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú ke tuli ʻa e fānaú ʻi ha feinga nai ke maluʻi ʻa Sīsū mei he loto-mafasia lahi angé. Ka naʻe valokiʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻene kau ākongá. ʻI hono fakahāhā ki he fānaú ʻene “fiefia kakató,” naʻá ne pehē: “Tuku ke haʻu kiate au ae tamaiki iki, bea oua naa taofi akinautolu.”—Maake 10:13, 14, PM.
9. Ko e hā nai ʻoku toe mahuʻinga ange ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau faí ʻi he meʻa ʻoku tau leaʻakí?
9 ʻOku malava ke tau ako mei he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsuú. ʻI he taimi ʻoku haʻu ai ʻa e fānaú kiate kitautolú, ʻoku anga-fēfē ʻetau talí—naʻa mo e taimi ʻoku tau femoʻuekina aí? Hangē pē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Sīsuú? Ko e meʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe he fānaú, tautefito mei heʻenau ongo mātuʻá, ko e meʻa ko ia naʻe loto-lelei ʻa Sīsū ke ʻoange kiate kinautolú—ko hono taimí mo ʻene tokangá. Ko e moʻoni, ko e ngaahi foʻi lea hangē ko e “ʻoku ou ʻofa ʻiate koe” ʻoku mahuʻinga ia. Neongo ia, ʻoku lea pē ʻa ngāue. Ko hoʻo ʻofá ʻoku hā ia ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he meʻa ʻokú ke leaʻakí ka ʻoku toe pehē foki ki he meʻa ʻokú ke faí. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ia ʻe he taimi, tokanga mo e tauhi ʻokú ke fai ki hoʻo fānaú. Kae kehe, ko hono fai kotoa iá, ʻoku ʻikai nai te ne ʻomai ʻe ia ha ngaahi ola pau, ʻo ʻikai vave hangē ko ia naʻá ke ʻamanaki ki aí. ʻOku fiemaʻu ʻa e kātaki. ʻOku malava ke tau ako ke kātaki kapau te tau faʻifaʻitaki ki he founga naʻe feangai ai ʻa Sīsū mo ʻene kau ākongá.
Ko e Kātaki mo e ʻOfa ʻa Sīsuú
10. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono akoʻi ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá ha lēsoni ʻi he anga-fakatōkilaló, pea naʻe lavameʻa ia ʻi he ʻuluaki taimí pē?
10 Naʻe lāuʻilo ʻa Sīsū ki he feʻauʻauhi hokohoko ki he tuʻunga tuʻu-ki-muʻá naʻe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻene kau ākongá. ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha, hili ʻa e tūʻuta ʻi Kāpaneume mo ʻene kau ākongá, naʻá ne ʻeke kiate kinautolu: “Ko e ha ʻa e meʻa naʻa mou fakakikihi ki ai ʻi he hala? Pea naʻa nau longo pe: he kuo nau fakakikihi ʻi he hala, pe ko hai ʻoku lahi.” ʻI he ʻikai te ne hanga ʻo valokiʻi fefeka kinautolú, naʻe ʻoange anga-kātaki ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu ha lēsoni ʻaonga ʻi ha feinga ke akoʻi kiate kinautolu ʻa e anga-fakatōkilaló. (Maake 9:33-37) Naʻe maʻu ai ʻa e ola naʻe fiemaʻú? ʻIkai ʻi he taimi pē ko iá. ʻI he māhina nai ʻe ono ki mui aí, naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ai ʻe Sēmisi mo Sione ʻena faʻeé ke ne kole meia Sīsū ʻa e ongo tuʻunga tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻi he Puleʻangá. Naʻe toe fakatonutonu anga-kātaki ai ʻe Sīsū ʻena fakakaukaú.—Mātiu 20:20-28.
11. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ngāue ʻi he anga fakafonuá naʻe ʻikai lava ke fakahoko ʻe he kau ʻapositolo ʻa Sīsuú ʻi he hili ʻenau aʻu fakataha mo Sīsū ki ha loki ʻi ʻolungá? (e) Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe Sīsuú, pea naʻe lavameʻa ʻene ngaahi feingá ʻi he taimi ko iá?
11 Naʻe vave ʻa e hoko mai ʻa e Pāsova ʻo e 33 T.S., pea naʻe fakataha ʻa Sīsū mo ʻene kau ʻapositoló fakaekinautolu pē ke kātoangaʻi ia. ʻI heʻenau aʻu ki he loki ʻi ʻolungá, naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻo e kau ʻapositolo ʻe toko 12 te ne tamuʻomuʻa ke fakahoko ʻa e ngāue ʻi he anga fakafonuá ko hono fufulu ʻa e vaʻe efua ʻo e niʻihi kehé—ko e ngāue māʻulalo ʻa ha sevāniti pe ko ha fefine ʻi he ʻapí. (1 Samiuela 25:41; 1 Timote 5:10) He loto-mamahi lahi ē kuo pau naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi he sio ki heʻene kau ākongá naʻa nau kei hokohoko atu pē hono fakahāhā ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻo e feinga ki he lakangá mo e tuʻungá! Ko ia naʻe fufulu ʻe Sīsū ʻa e vaʻe ʻo e tokotaha taki taha peá ne kōlenga tōtōivi leva kiate kinautolu ke nau muimui ʻi heʻene faʻifaʻitakiʻangá ʻi hono tauhi ʻo e niʻihi kehé. (Sione 13:4-17) Naʻa nau fai ia? ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻi he ki mui he efiafi pē ko iá “naʻe ai foki ha fakakikihi ʻiate kinautolu, pe ko hai ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku matamata ko e māʻolunga.”—Luke 22:24.
12. ʻE anga-fēfē nai ʻa e faʻifaʻitaki ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻá kia Sīsū ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feinga ke akoʻi ʻenau fānaú?
12 ʻI he ʻikai tali ʻe hoʻo fānaú ʻa hoʻo akonakí, ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi ngaahi mātuʻa ʻa e anga ʻo e ongoʻi kuo pau naʻe maʻu ʻe Sīsuú?

13 ʻOku fiemaʻu ke ʻiloʻi ʻe he fānaú ʻoku ʻofa ʻenau ongo mātuʻá ʻiate kinautolu pea mo mahuʻingaʻia ʻiate kinautolu. Naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe Sīsū ke ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe fakakaukau ki ai ʻene kau ākongá, ko ia naʻá ne fanongo ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻi ai ai ʻenau ngaahi fehuʻí. Naʻá ne ʻeke kiate kinautolu pe ko e hā ʻenau fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo ha ngaahi meʻa pau. (Mātiu 17:25-27) ʻIo, ko e faiako leleí ʻoku kau ai ʻa e fanongo tokanga mo e mahuʻingaʻia moʻoni. ʻOku totonu ki ha mātuʻa ke ne talitekeʻi ha faʻahinga hehema pē ke tuli ha kiʻi tama fehuʻi ʻaki ha lea kokono: “ʻAlu mamaʻo! ʻOku ʻikai te ke sio mai ʻoku ou moʻua?” Kapau ʻoku moʻua moʻoni ha mātuʻa, ʻoku totonu ke tala ange ki he kiʻi tamá ʻe toki talanoa ki he meʻa ko iá ʻamui.
