“Tuʻu maʻu pea fakahāhaaʻi ʻokú ke tokanga ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻa e ʻOtuá.”—SIOPE 37:14, NW.
1, 2. ʻI he 1922, ko e hā ʻa e ʻilo foʻou fakaofo naʻe fai aí, pea ko e hā ʻa e tali ki aí?
KO E tokotaha-ʻāsiolokí mo e ʻEiki ʻIngilaní naʻá na kaungāngāue he laui taʻu ʻi he fekumi ki he koloá. Ne faai mai pē, ʻi Nōvema 26, 1922, ʻi he tanuʻanga ʻo e kau felo ʻIsipité ʻi he feituʻu ʻiloa ko e Teleʻa ʻo e Ngaahi Tuʻí, naʻe ʻilo ai ʻe he tokotaha-ʻāsiolokí ko Howard Carter pea mo ʻEiki Carnarvon ʻa e meʻa naʻe hoko ko e palé—ko e fonualoto ʻo Felo Tutankhamen. ʻI he aʻu ki ha matapā naʻe silaʻi, naʻá na viliʻi ai ha kiʻi foʻi ava. Naʻe fakahū ai ʻe Carter ha foʻi teʻelango pea fakasio ai ki loto.
2 Naʻe fakahā ʻe Carter ki mui: “ʻI he ʻikai malava ʻe ʻEiki Carnarvon ke kei matuʻuaki ʻa e loto-hohaʻá, naʻá ne ʻeke loto-hohaʻa ange, ‘ʻOku lava ke ke sio ki ha meʻa?’ naʻe pau ke u feinga lahi ke u malava ʻo leaʻaki, ‘ʻIo, ko e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo.’” ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi koloa ʻe laui afe ʻi he fonualotó naʻe ʻi ai ha puha mate meimei koula ʻataʻatā. Kuó ke ʻosi sio nai ʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e “ngaahi meʻa fakaofo” ko iá ʻi ha ngaahi laʻi-tā pe ʻi ha fakaʻaliʻali ʻi ha misiume. Ka, neongo nai ʻa e fakaofo ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻi he misiumé, ʻoku hangehangē ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau felāveʻi mo hoʻo moʻuí. Ko ia ai, tau hiki ki he ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻoku pau moʻoni ʻenau felāveʻi pea mo ʻenau mahuʻinga kiate koé.
3. Ko fē te tau maʻu mei ai ʻa e fakamatala fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻoku malava ke mahuʻinga kiate kitautolú?
3 Ko e fakatātaá, fakakaukau atu ki ha tangata ʻa ia naʻá ne moʻui ʻi he laui senituli lahi kuo maliu atú, ko ha tangata ʻoku taau lahi ange ia ke fakatokangaʻi ʻi ha sitā faiva, helo ʻi ha ngaahi sipoti, pe ko ha mēmipa ʻo e fale ʻo e tuʻí. Naʻe ui ia ko e lahi taha ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa ʻo e Hahaké. Te ke ʻiloʻi nai hono hingoá—ʻa Siope. Naʻe hiki ha tohi kakato ʻi he Tohitapú ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia. Ka, ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi toʻutangata ʻo Siopé, ko ha kiʻi tangata ko hono hingoá ko ʻIlaiū, naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻokú ne moʻuaʻaki ke ne fakatonutonu ia. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaiū naʻe fai ʻe Siope ha tokanga tōtuʻa kiate ia tonu pea ki he faʻahinga naʻe takatakai ʻiate iá. ʻI he Siope vahe 37, ʻoku tau maʻu ai ha faleʻi papau mo fakapotopoto kehe ʻa ia ʻoku lava ke hoko ʻo mahuʻinga moʻoni kiate kitautolu taki taha.—Siope 1:1-3; 32:1–33:12.
4. Ko e hā naʻe taki atu ki he enginaki ʻa ʻIlaiū ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he Siope 37:14?
4 Naʻe fai ʻe he toko tolu ko ia naʻe pehē ko e ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻo Siopé ha ngaahi lea lōloa ʻi he ngaahi tafaʻaki ʻa ia naʻa nau tui naʻe faihala ai ʻa Siope ʻi he fakakaukaú pe ko e ngāué. (Siope 15:1-6, 16; 22:5-10) Naʻe tatali anga-kātaki ʻa ʻIlaiū kae ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻa e fetalanoaʻaki ko iá. Naʻá ne toki lea leva ʻi he vavanga mo e poto. Naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ʻa e ngaahi poini mahuʻinga lahi, kae fakatokangaʻi ange ʻa e foʻi fakakaukau tefito ko ʻení: “Fokotuʻu telinga mai ki he meʻá ni, ʻe Siope; tuʻumaʻu pea fakahāhaaʻi ʻokú ke tokanga ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻa e ʻOtuá.”—Siope 37:14, NW.
Ko e Tokotaha Naʻá Ne Fai ʻa e Ngaahi Ngāué
5. Ko e hā ʻoku kau ki he “ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻa e ʻOtuá” ʻa ia naʻe lave ki ai ʻa ʻIlaiuú?
5 Fakatokangaʻi ange naʻe ʻikai fokotuʻu mai ʻe ʻIlaiū ia ke tokanga ʻa Siope kiate ia tonu, kia ʻIlaiū tonu, pe ki ha faʻahinga kehe ʻo e tangatá. Naʻe naʻinaʻi fakapotopoto ʻa ʻIlaiū kia Siope—pea mo kitautolu—ke tau fai ha tokanga ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá. Ko e hā ʻokú ke fakakaukau atu ʻoku kau ki he kupuʻi lea ko e “ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻa e ʻOtuá”? ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻi he vakai atu ki he ngaahi loto-moʻua ʻokú ke maʻu nai fekauʻaki mo e moʻuí, paʻangá, ko e kahaʻú, ko ho fāmilí, ngaahi kaungāngāué, mo e ngaahi kaungāʻapí, ko e hā ke tokanga ai ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá? ʻOku ʻikai toe fehuʻia, ko e ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku kau ai ʻa hono potó mo hono mafai ki heʻene meʻa fakatupu fakamatelie kotoa ʻoku takatakai ʻiate kitautolú. (Nehemaia 9:6; Sāme 24:1; 104:24; 136:5, 6) Ke maʻu ha vakai māʻalaʻala ki he meʻá ni, fakatokangaʻi ha poini ʻi he tohi ʻa Siosiuá.
6, 7. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ngāue fakaofo naʻe fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Mōsese mo Siosiuá? (e) Kapau naʻá ke sio tonu ʻi ha taha ʻo e ngaahi ngāue ʻi he taimi ʻo Mōsese mo Siosiuá, ne mei anga-fēfē hoʻo talí?
6 Naʻe ʻomai ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi mala ki ʻIsipite ʻo e kuonga muʻá pea hili iá naʻá ne fakamavaeua ʻa e Tahi Kulokulá kae lava ʻe Mōsese ke ne taki atu ai ʻa e kau ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá ki he tauʻatāiná. (Ekisoto 7:1–14:31; Sāme 106:7, 21, 22) ʻOku ʻi ai ha meʻa meimei tatau naʻe hoko ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Siosiua vahe 3. Ko Siosiua, ʻa e fetongi ʻo Mōsesé, naʻá ne taki ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo nau fou atu ʻi ha vai ʻe taha pea hū ai ki he Fonua ʻo e Talaʻofá. Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua: “Fakatapuhaaʻi kimoutolu, he ko ʻapongipongi ʻe fai ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi homou lotolotongá.” (Siosiua 3:5, NW) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakaofó?
7 Sai, ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he fakamatalá naʻe fakaava ʻe Sihova ʻa e fakangatangataʻanga ʻo e vaí, ʻa e Vaitafe Sioataní, koeʻuhi kae lava ʻa e laui afe tokolahi ʻo e kau tangata, kau fefine, mo e fānaú ke nau laka atu ai ʻi he kelekele mōmoá. (Siosiua 3:7-17) Kapau naʻa tau ʻi ai ʻo mamata ki hono fakaava ʻa e vaitafé pea mo e kolosi ʻo hao ai ʻa e kakai kotoa ko iá, naʻe mei maongo kiate kitautolu ʻa e fakaofo ʻo e lavameʻa ko iá! Naʻá ne fakahāhaaʻi ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ki he meʻa fakatupú. Ka, ʻi he taimi ní—ʻi he lolotonga ʻetau moʻuí—ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo tatau mo ia. Ke sio pe ko e hā ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi meʻá ni pea mo e ʻuhinga ʻoku totonu ai ke tau fai ha tokanga kiate kinautolú, fakakaukau ange ki he Siope 37:5-7 (NW).
8, 9. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻoku tuhu ki ai ʻa e Siope 37:5-7, ka ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻá ni?
8 Naʻe talaki ʻe ʻIlaiū: “ʻOku mana mai ʻaki ʻe he ʻOtuá hono leʻó ʻi ha founga fakaofo, ʻo fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻoku ʻikai malava ke tau ʻiloʻi.” Ko e hā naʻe ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa ʻIlaiuú ʻo fekauʻaki mo hono fai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ‘ʻi ha founga fakaofó’? Sai, ʻokú ne lave ki he sinoú pea mo e tō hifo ʻa e ʻuhá. ʻE taʻofi ʻe he ongo meʻá ni ʻa e ngāue ʻa ha tangata faʻa ʻi heʻene ngoué, ʻo ʻoange ai kiate ia ʻa e taimi mo e ʻuhinga ke ne fakakaukau ai ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku ʻikai nai ko ha kau faʻa kitautolu, ka ʻoku uesia nai kitautolu ʻe he ʻuhá mo e sinoú. Fakatuʻunga ʻi he feituʻu ʻoku tau nofo aí, ʻoku toe fakahohaʻasi nai ai ʻe he sinoú mo e ʻuhá ʻetau ngaahi ngāué. ʻOku tau vaheʻi ha taimi ke fakalaulauloto ai pe ko hai ʻoku tuʻu mei mui ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakaofo peheé pea mo e ʻuhinga ʻo e meʻá ni? Kuó ke fai pehē ʻi ha taimi?
9 ʻOku mahuʻingá, hangē ko ia ʻoku tau lau ʻi he Siope vahe 38, ʻoku ngāueʻaki ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá tonu ha tuʻunga fakakaukau meimei tatau, ʻi heʻene ʻeke kia Siope ha ngaahi fehuʻi mohu ʻuhinga. Neongo naʻe fakahanga ʻe hotau Tokotaha-Fakatupú ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení kia Siope, ʻoku ʻi ai honau kaunga mahino ki heʻetau fakakaukaú, ko ʻetau ʻi aí, pea mo hotau kahaʻú. Ko ia, tau sio angé ki he meʻa naʻe ʻeke ʻe he ʻOtuá, pea ʻai ke tau fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo hono ngaahi kaungá, ʻio, ʻai ke tau fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku naʻinaʻi mai ʻa e Siope 37:14 kiate kitautolu ke faí.
10. ʻOku totonu ke kaunga fēfē ʻa e Siope vahe 38 kiate kitautolu, pea ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻokú ne ʻohaké?
10 ʻOku kamata ʻa e Siope vahe 38: “Toki tali ʻe Sihova kia Siope mei he loto taufa, ʻo ne folofola mai, Ko hai tu hena ʻoku ʻai ke ha fakaʻuiʻuilatai ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ʻaki ʻene ngaahi lea taʻepoto? Huke muʻa ho vala hange ha toʻa; kau fehuʻi atu ka ke hinoiʻi au.” (Siope 38:1-3) Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e foʻi fakakaukaú. Naʻe tokoniʻi ai ʻa Siope ke ne fakatonutonu ʻene fakakaukaú ki he moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ia ʻa ʻene tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Tokotaha-Fakatupu ʻo e ʻunivēsí pea naʻe pau ke ne fai ha fakamatala kiate ia. Ko e toe meʻa lelei ia kiate kitautolu pea mo hotau ngaahi toʻumeʻá ke tau fai. Naʻe ʻohake leva ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e faʻahinga meʻa naʻe lave ki ai ʻa ʻIlaiuú. “Naʻa ke ʻi fe ʻi heʻeku tanupou ʻa mamani? Tala mai, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke lava ke fakamahino? Ko hai naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni hono fua—kapau ʻoku ke ʻilo? Pe ko hai naʻe falo ʻa e kafa ki ai? ʻOku velo ki he ha hono ngaahi tefitoʻi pou? Pe ko hai naʻe fakatoka hono maka tuliki?”—Siope 38:4-6.
11. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ke fakatokangaʻi ʻoku totonu ke ʻomai ʻe he Siope 38:4-6 kiate kitautolú?
11 Naʻe ʻi fē ʻa Siope—naʻe ʻi fē ha taha pē ʻo kitautolu—ʻi he taimi naʻe hoko mai ai ʻa e foʻi māmaní? Ko kitautolu ʻa e kau tā mape ko ia naʻa tau faʻufaʻu ʻa e foʻi māmaní, pea mei he faʻufaʻu ko iá, naʻa tau fakatoka ai ʻa e ngaahi fuá ʻo hangē ne fai ʻaki ha lulá? Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe ʻikai. Naʻe teʻeki ai ke ʻi ai ʻi he tuʻunga ko iá ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ia. ʻI hono fakatatau hotau foʻi māmaní ki ha falé, ʻoku ʻeke ʻe he ʻOtuá: “Ko hai naʻe fakatoka hono maka tuliki?” ʻOku tau ʻilo ko e foʻi māmaní ʻoku ʻi he mamaʻo totonu tofu pē ko ia mei hotau laʻaá ko ia ʻoku tau moʻui mo tupu ʻāfaʻafa aí. Pea ʻoku toe ʻi he lahi totonu. Kapau naʻe lahi ʻaupito ange ʻa e foʻi māmaní, ʻe ʻikai ke mole ʻa e kasa haitolokená mei hotau ʻatimosifiá pea ʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha maluʻanga ia ʻi hotau foʻi palanité ki he moʻuí. ʻOku hā mahino, naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne “fakatoka hono maka tuliki” ʻi he feituʻu totonú. Naʻe tuha mo Siope ʻa e lāngilangi ki aí? Fēfē kitautolu? Pe ko Sihova ko e ʻOtuá?—Palovepi 3:19; Selemaia 10:12.
Ko Hai ʻa e Tangata Kuó Ne Maʻu ʻa e Ngaahi Talí?
12. Ko e fehuʻi ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Siope 38:6 ʻokú ne taki atu kitautolu ke tau fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo e hā?
12 ʻOku toe ʻeke ʻe he ʻOtuá: “ʻOku velo ki he ha hono ngaahi tefitoʻi pou?” ʻIkai ko ha fehuʻi lelei ia? Mahalo pē ʻoku tau maheni mo ha kupuʻi lea naʻe ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi ia ʻe Siope—ko e kalāvité. Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo kitautolú ʻoku tau mahinoʻi ko e mālohi ʻo e kalāvité mei he fuʻu konga lahi ʻo e laʻaá ʻokú ne tauhi hotau foʻi māmaní ʻi hono tuʻuʻangá, hangē ko e laú, ʻoku velo ai hono ngaahi tefitoʻi poú. Neongo ia, ko hai ʻokú ne mahinoʻi kakato ʻa e kalāvité?
13, 14. (a) Ko e hā kuo pau ke fakamoʻoniʻi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e kalāvité? (e) ʻOku totonu ke fēfē ʻetau talí ki he tuʻunga ʻoku fakaeʻa mai ʻi he Siope 38:6?
13 Ko ha tohi naʻe pulusi ki muí ni mai naʻe fakakaveinga ko e The Universe Explained ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi ko e ‘kalāvité ʻa e meʻa ʻoku maheni lahi taha mo iá, ka ko e meʻa siʻisiʻi taha ia ke mahinoʻí, ʻi he ngaahi mālohi ʻo natulá.’ ʻOkú ne tānaki mai: “Ko e mālohi fakakalāvité ʻoku hā ngali ʻoku fononga vave ia ʻi ha ʻatā noá, ʻo ʻikai ha ʻuhinga mahino ki heʻene fai peheé. Kae kehe, ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ki mui ní, kuo kamata ai ʻa e kau fīsikí ke fakamahamahalo ʻoku fononga nai ʻa e kalāvité ʻi he ngaahi peau ʻoku faʻuʻaki ʻa e fanga kiʻi pātikolo ʻoku ui ko e kalavitoni . . .

Neongo ia, ʻoku ʻikai te tau lava pe ko e kau fīsiki mataotaó ke fakamatalaʻi kakato ʻa e kalāvité, ʻa ē ʻokú ne tauhi ʻa hotau foʻi māmaní ʻi he halanga totonú, ʻa e tuʻunga tofu pē ko ia ʻoku totonu ke ʻi aí ke fakaʻatā ai kitautolu ke tau fiefia heni ʻi he moʻuí.

Ka, ko hono fai ʻa e tokanga ʻo aʻu ki he tafaʻaki ko ʻeni ʻe taha ʻo e ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku totonu ke ne tākiekina ʻetau vakai kiate iá. ʻOkú ke tuʻu ʻo fakatumutumu ʻi hono potó mo ʻene ʻiló, pea ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke tau ako lahi ange ʻo fekauʻaki mo hono finangaló?
