Fakahīkihikiʻi ʻe Siope ʻa e Huafa ʻo Sihová
“Maloʻia ai pe ʻa e huafa ʻo Sihova.”—SIOPE 1:21.
1. Ko hai ʻoku ngalingali naʻá ne tohi ʻa e tohi Siopé, pea naʻe tohí ʻanefē?
NAʻE taʻu 40 nai ʻa Mōsese ʻi heʻene hola mei ʻIsipite ʻo nofo ʻi Mitiani ke hao mei he houhau ʻa Feló. (Ng. 7:23) Lolotonga ʻene nofo ʻi he fonua ko iá, naʻe lava ke ne fanongo ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻo Siopé, ʻa ia naʻe nofo ofi mai ʻi he kolo ko ʻUsa. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu ki mui, he taimi naʻe ofi ai ʻa Mōsese mo e puleʻanga ʻIsilelí ki ʻUsa ʻi he fakaʻosiʻosi ʻenau fononga ʻi he toafá, naʻe ʻilo nai ai ʻa Mōsese fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi taʻu fakaʻosi ʻo Siopé. ʻOku pehē ʻi he talatukufakaholo faka-Siú naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese ʻa e tohi Siopé ʻi ha taimi hili e mate ʻa Siopé.
2. ʻI he ngaahi founga fē ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e tohi Siopé ko ha fakalototoʻa ki he kau sevāniti ʻa Sihova ʻi onopōní?
2 Ko e tohi Siopé ʻoku fakaivimālohiʻi ai ʻa e tui ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi onopooni. ʻI he ngaahi founga fē? ʻOku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he talanoá ke tau mahinoʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ʻaupito naʻe hoko ʻi hēvaní pea fakamamafaʻi ʻa e ʻīsiu tefito ʻo e tuʻunga-hau fakaleveleva ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku toe fakalahiʻi ʻe he talanoa kia Siopé ʻetau mahino ki he meʻa ʻoku kau ki he tauhi anga-tonú pea tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku fakaʻatā ai ʻe Sihova ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻa ʻene kau sevānití ke nau faingataʻaʻiá. ʻIkai ko ia pē, ko e tohi Siopé ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa Sētane ko e Tēvoló ko e Fili lahi ʻo Sihova mo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. ʻOku toe fakahaaʻi ʻe he tohí ko e faʻahinga taʻehaohaoa ʻo e tangatá hangē ko Siopé ʻe lava ke nau mateaki ai pē kia Sihova neongo ʻa e lahi ʻo e ʻahiʻahí. Tau sivisiviʻi angé ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he tohi Siopé.
ʻAhiʻahiʻi ʻa Siope ʻe Sētane
3. Ko e hā ʻoku tau ʻilo fekauʻaki mo Siopé, pea ko e hā naʻe tāketi ai ʻa Sētane kiate iá?
3 Ko Siopé ko ha tangata koloaʻia mo mahuʻinga, ko ha pēteliake ʻulungāanga lelei. ʻOku hā mahino ko ha faiakonaki ia naʻe tokaʻi lahi ʻa ia naʻá ne tokoniʻi ʻa e masivá. Ko e meʻa mahuʻinga tahá, naʻe manavahē ʻa Siope ki he ʻOtuá. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻa Siope ko ha tangata ʻa ia naʻe “fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa ʻene taʻemele mo faitotonu, pea manavahē ki he ʻOtuá mo afe mei he koví.” Ko e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotua ʻa Siopé—ʻo ʻikai ko ʻene koloá mo hono mahuʻingá—naʻe hoko ai ia ko ha tāketi ki he ngaahi ʻoho ʻa Sētane ko e Tēvoló.—Siope 1:1, NW; 29:7-16; 31:1.
4. Ko e hā ʻa e anga-tonu?
4 Ko e talateu ʻo e talanoa ʻi he tohi Siopé ʻoku fakamatala ai ki ha fakataha ʻi hēvani ʻa ia naʻe hā ai ʻa e kau ʻāngeló ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová. Naʻe ʻi ai foki mo Sētane, pea naʻá ne fai ha ngaahi tukuakiʻi ʻo Siope. (Lau ʻa e Siope 1:6-11.) Neongo naʻe lave ʻa Sētane ki he koloa ʻa Siopé, naʻe fakahanga ʻene tokangá ki hono poleʻi ʻo e anga-tonu ʻa Siopé. Ko e foʻi lea “anga-tonu” ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e fakakaukau ki he faitotonu, taʻemele, māʻoniʻoni mo e haohaoa. Hangē ko hono ngāueʻaki ʻi he Tohi Tapú, ko e anga-tonu ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ha tuʻunga kakato ʻo e līʻoa ʻa e lotó kia Sihova.
5. Ko e hā naʻe taukaveʻi ʻe Sētane fekauʻaki mo Siopé?
5 Naʻe taukaveʻi ʻe Sētane ko e lotu ʻa Siope ki he ʻOtuá naʻe fakatefito ia ʻi he siokita, ʻo ʻikai ko e anga-tonu. Naʻe pehē tokua ʻe Sētane ʻe mateaki pē ʻa Siope kia Sihová ʻi he hokohoko atu hono fakapaleʻi mo maluʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá. Ke ʻoatu ha tali ki he tukuakiʻi ʻa Sētané, naʻe fakaʻatā ʻe Sihova ʻa Sētane ke ne ʻohofi ʻa e tangata faitōnunga ko iá. Ko hono olá, ʻi he teʻeki ai ke ʻosi ʻa e ʻaho ʻe tahá, naʻe ʻiloʻi ai ʻe Siope kuo kaihaʻasi pe fakaʻauha ʻa ʻene fanga monumanú, tāmateʻi ʻa ʻene kau ngāué, pea naʻe mole ʻa e moʻui ʻa ʻene fānau ʻe toko hongofulú. (Siope 1:13-19) Naʻe tō ʻa Siope ʻi he ʻohofi naʻe fai ʻe Sētané? ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he lēkooti fakamānavaʻí ʻa e tali ʻa Siope ki he mamahi naʻe hoko kiate iá: “Ko Sihova naʻa ne foaki, pea ko Sihova kuo ne toʻo atu; kae maloʻia ai pe ʻa e huafa ʻo Sihova.”—Siope 1:21.
6. (a) Ko e hā naʻe hoko lolotonga ha toe fakataha ʻe taha ʻi hēvani? (e) Ko hai naʻe ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa Sētané ʻi heʻene poleʻi ʻa e anga-tonu ʻa Siope kia Sihová?
6 Ki mui ai, naʻe toe fai ai ha fakataha ʻi hēvani. Naʻe toe tukuakiʻi ai pē ʻe Sētane ʻa Siope, ʻo pehē: “Ko e kili pe ia telia ha kili: ʻio, ʻe ʻatu ʻe ha tangata ʻene meʻa kotoa telia ʻene moʻui. Ka ko eni, ala atu muʻa ki hono kili mo hono kakano, pea talaatu te ne matuʻaki tafuli meiate koe.” Fakatokangaʻi ange naʻe toe fakakau atu ʻe Sētane ʻa e niʻihi kehe ki heʻene tukuakiʻí. ʻI heʻene pehē, “ʻE ʻatu ʻe ha tangata ʻene meʻa kotoa telia ʻene moʻui,” naʻe poleʻi ai ʻe he Tēvoló ʻa e anga-tonu ʻo ʻikai ko e anga-tonu ʻa Siopé pē ka ko ha “tangata” pē ʻa ia ʻoku lotu kia Sihova. Hili iá, naʻe fakaʻatā ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Sētane ke ne taaʻi ʻa Siope ʻaki ha mahaki langa lahi fakaʻulia. (Siope 2:1-8) Ka naʻe ʻikai ko e kotoa ia ʻo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻo Siopé.
Lēsoni ʻOku Ako mei he Tuʻunga ʻo Siopé
7. ʻI he ngaahi founga fē naʻe tenge ai ʻe he uaifi ʻo Siopé mo ʻene kau ʻaʻahí ʻa Siopé?
7 ʻI he kamatá, naʻe faingataʻaʻia tatau ʻa e uaifi ʻo Siopé mo hono husepānití. Ko e mole ʻa ʻene fānaú mo e koloa ʻa e fāmilí kuo pau pē naʻe lōmekina ai ia. Kuo pau pē naʻá ne mamahi ʻi he sio ki he faingataʻaʻia ʻa hono husepānití ʻi ha mahaki langa lahi fakaʻuliá. Naʻá ne kalanga kia Siope: “Oku ke kei kuku hoo agatonu? lea kovi ki he Otua, ka ke mate.” Naʻe aʻu mai leva ha kau tangata ʻe toko tolu—ko ʻElifasi, Pilitati mo Sofaʻā—ko ʻenau haʻu tokua ke fai ha fakafiemālie kia Siope. ʻI hono kehé, naʻa nau ngāueʻaki ʻa e fakaʻuhinga hala pea fakamoʻoniʻi ai ko e kau “fakalelu langaʻi mamahi” kinautolu. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻe pehē ʻe Pilitati naʻe kau ʻa e fānau ʻa Siopé ʻi he faihala ʻo nau tuha ai mo e meʻa naʻe hoko kia kinautolú. Naʻe fakahuʻunga ʻe ʻElifasi ko e faingataʻaʻia ʻa Siopé ko e tautea ia ʻi haʻane angahala he kuohilí. Naʻe aʻu ʻo ne fehuʻia pe ʻoku mahuʻinga nai ki he ʻOtuá ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku tauhi anga-tonú! (Siope 2:9, 11, PM; 4:8; 8:4; 16:1 [16:2, PM]; 22:2, 3) ʻI he tenge mafatukituki peheé, naʻe tauhi ʻe Siope ʻa ʻene anga-tonú. Ko e moʻoni, naʻá ne hala ʻi heʻene tafoki hake ʻo “fakatonuhiaʻi ia ʻe ia, ʻo tuku ʻa e ʻOtua.” (Siope 32:2) Neongo ia, naʻá ne faitōnunga ai pē ʻi he meʻa kotoa ko iá.
8. Ko e hā ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei naʻe ʻomai ʻe ʻIlaiū ki he kau faiakonaki he ʻaho ní?
8 Hokó, ʻoku tau lau fekauʻaki mo ʻIlaiū, ʻa ia naʻá ne toe ʻaʻahi kia Siope. Naʻe ʻuluaki fanongo ʻa ʻIlaiū ki he ngaahi fakaʻuhinga naʻe fai ʻe Siope mo hono kaungāmeʻa ʻe toko tolú. Neongo naʻá ne kei siʻi ange ʻi he toko fā ko eé, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe ʻIlaiū ʻa e poto lahi ange. Naʻá ne lea fakaʻatuʻi kia Siope, ʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa e hingoa tonu ʻo Siopé. Naʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻe ʻIlaiū ʻa e ʻalunga faitotonu ʻo Siopé. Ka naʻá ne toe pehē naʻe tokangataha ʻo fuʻu tōtuʻa ʻa Siope ʻi heʻene feinga ke fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa ʻene haohaoá tonu. Naʻe fakapapauʻi ange leva ʻe ʻIlaiū kia Siope ko e tauhi faitōnunga ki he ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻaonga maʻu pē ia. (Lau ʻa e Siope 36:1, 11.) Ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei moʻoni ia ki he faʻahinga ʻoku fiemaʻu ke nau fai ʻa e akonaki he ʻaho ní! Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe ʻIlaiū ʻa e kātaki, fanongo tokanga, fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻo ka fiemaʻu pea fai ha akonaki fakatupu langa hake.—Siope 32:6; 33:32.
9. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono tokoniʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Siopé?
9 Fakaʻosí, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siope ha tokotaha ʻaʻahi fakaofo moʻoni! ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakamatalá: “Toki tali ʻe Sihova kia Siope mei he loto taufa.” ʻI hono ngāueʻaki ha fehuʻi hokohokó, naʻe tokoniʻi anga-ʻofa mo papau ʻe Sihova ʻa Siope ke ne fakatonutonu ʻa ʻene fakakaukaú. Naʻe tali loto-lelei ʻe Siope ʻa e fakatonutonú, ʻo fakahaaʻi: “Ko e momoʻi meʻa au . . . ʻO u fakatomala ʻi he funga efu mo e efuefu.” Hili ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siopé, naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ʻa ʻEne houhau ki he kaungāmeʻa ʻe toko tolú koeʻuhi ko e ʻikai te nau lea “totonu.” Naʻe fiemaʻu ke lotu ʻa Siope maʻanautolu. Pea, “fakafoki ʻe he ʻEiki ʻa e popula ʻa Siope ʻi heʻene hufia hono ngaahi kaumeʻa; pea naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻEiki kia Siope, ʻo liunga ua ʻi he meʻa naʻa ne fua maʻu.”—Siope 38:1; 40:4; 42:6-10.
ʻOku Lahi Fēfē ʻEtau ʻOfa kia Sihová?
10. Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai tukunoaʻi ai pe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻa Sētané?
10 Ko Sihova ʻa e Tokotaha-Fakatupu ʻo e ʻunivēsí, ko e Hau ʻo e meʻa fakatupu kotoa pē. Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te ne tukunoaʻi ai ʻa e pole ʻa e Tēvoló? Naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ko e tukunoaʻi ʻa Sētane pe ko hono fakaʻauha iá ʻe ʻikai fakaleleiʻi ai ʻa e ʻīsiu ne langaʻi haké. Naʻe taukaveʻi ʻe he Tēvoló ko Siopé, ko ha sevāniti tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻa Sihova, heʻikai ke mateaki ai pē kapau ʻe mole ʻa hono tuʻunga lelei fakaʻekonōmiká. Naʻe matuʻuaki ʻe he mateaki ʻa Siopé ʻa e ʻahiʻahí. Naʻe taukaveʻi leva ʻe Sētane ʻe tafoki ha tangata pē mei he ʻOtuá kapau ʻe faingataʻaʻia fakaesino. Naʻe faingataʻaʻia ʻa Siope, ka naʻe ʻikai maumauʻi ai ʻene anga-tonú. Ko ia, naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ai ko Sētané ko ha tokotaha loi ʻi he tuʻunga ʻo e tangata faitōnunga kae taʻehaohaoa ko iá. Fēfē ʻa e kau lotu kehe ʻa e ʻOtuá?
11. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono ʻomai ʻe Sīsū ha tali haohaoa ki he pole ʻa Sētané?
11 Ko hono moʻoní, ko e sevāniti taki taha ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa ia ʻoku tauhi anga-tonu neongo ha meʻa pē ʻe fakahoko ʻe Sētane kiate iá ʻokú ne fakahāhā ai ʻi hono tuʻungá tonu, ʻoku loi ʻa e ngaahi tukuakiʻi naʻe fai ʻe he fili taʻefaimeesi ko iá. Naʻe haʻu ʻa Sīsū ki māmani ʻo ʻomai ha tali haohaoa ki he pole ʻa Sētané. Ko Sīsuú ko ha tangata haohaoa, ʻo hangē ko ʻetau ʻuluaki tamaí, ʻa ʻĀtama. Ko e faitōnunga ʻa Sīsū ʻo aʻu ki he maté naʻe fakahāhā aofangatuku ai ko Sētané ko ha tokotaha loi pea ʻoku loi ʻene ngaahi tukuakiʻí.—Fkh. 12:10.
12. Ko e hā ʻa e faingamālie mo e fatongia ʻoku maʻu ʻe he sevāniti taki taha ʻa Sihová?
12 Kae kehe, ʻoku hokohoko ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe Sētane ʻa e kau lotu ʻa Sihová. ʻOku tau maʻu taki taha ʻa e faingamālie mo e fatongia ke fakahāhā ʻi heʻetau anga-tonu fakafoʻituituí ʻoku tau tauhi kia Sihova koeʻuhí ʻoku tau ʻofa kiate ia—ʻo ʻikai ʻi ha ngaahi ʻuhinga siokita. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻetau vakai ki he fatongia ko iá? ʻOku tau sio ki ai ko ha monū ia ke mateaki kia Sihova. ʻOku toe fakafiemālieʻi ai kitautolu ʻi he ʻilo ʻoku ʻomai ʻe Sihova ʻa e mālohi ke kātaki pea hangē ko ia ʻi he tuʻunga ʻo Siopé, ʻokú Ne fokotuʻu ʻa e fakangatangata ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo iá.—1 Kol. 10:13.

13 ʻOku ʻomai ʻi he Ngaahi Konga Tohi Tapu Faka-Hepeluú ʻa e ngaahi fakaikiiki fekauʻaki mo e tōʻonga māʻulalo ʻo Sētane ʻi hono poleʻi ʻa Sihova pea takiheeʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. ʻI he Ngaahi Konga Tohi Tapu Faka-Kalisi Kalisitiané, ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻa e fakamatala lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e fakafepaki ʻa Sētane kia Sihová, pea ʻi he tohi Fakahaá, ʻoku tau ako ai fekauʻaki mo hono fakatonuhiaʻi ʻa e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová pea mo e fakaʻauha fakaʻosi ʻo Sētané. Ko e tohi Siopé ʻoku tānaki mai ai ki heʻetau ʻiló ʻa e ʻalunga anga-tuʻu ʻo Sētané. ʻI he ʻi ai ʻa Sētane ʻi he fakataha ʻi hēvaní, naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻi aí mo e taumuʻa ke fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova. Naʻe maʻu ʻe he Tēvoló ha fakakaukau fakalotokovi mo ha taumuʻa fulikivanu. Hili ʻene tukuakiʻi ʻa Siope pea maʻu ha ngofua ke ʻahiʻahiʻi iá, naʻe “hu kituʻa ʻa Setane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.”—Siope 1:12; 2:7.
14. Ko e hā ʻa e fakakaukau naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sētane kia Siopé?
14 Ko ia ai, ko e tohi Siopé ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa Sētane ko ha fili taʻefaimeesi ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. ʻI he vahaʻa ʻo e fakataha ʻi hēvani ʻoku lave ki ai ʻi he Siope 1:6 mo e fakataha ko ia ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Siope 2:1, naʻe hoko ai ha vahaʻa taimi ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻa hono lōloá, ʻa ia naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi anga-fakamamahi ai ʻa Siope. Ko e faitōnunga ʻa Siopé naʻe lava ai ke pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane: “Oku ne kei kuku mau be [ʻe Siope] ene agatonu, ka naa ke ueʻi au ki ai, ke fakaauha ia tae hano uhiga.” Ka naʻe ʻikai fakahaaʻi ʻe Sētane ʻoku loi ʻa ʻene ngaahi taukaveʻí. ʻI hono kehé, naʻá ne kounaʻi ke fai ha toe ʻahiʻahi kakaha ʻe taha kia Siope. Ko ia ai, naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he Tēvoló ʻa Siope fakatouʻosi ʻi heʻene tuʻumālié mo e taimi naʻá ne masiva ʻangoʻango aí. ʻOku hā mahino, naʻe ʻikai ha manavaʻofa ʻa Sētane ki he masivá pe ko e faʻahinga ʻoku maʻukovia ʻi he fakatamakí. ʻOkú ne fehiʻa ʻi he kakai anga-tonú. (Siope 2:3-5, PM) Neongo ia, ko e faitōnunga ʻa Siopé naʻe fakahaaʻi ai ko Sētané ko ha tokotaha loi.
15. Ko e hā ʻoku faitatau ai ʻa e kau tafoki ʻi onopooni mei he moʻoní pea mo Sētané?
15 Ko Sētane ʻa e ʻuluaki meʻamoʻui naʻe tafoki mei he moʻoní.

16 Naʻe ngāueʻaki mo fakahīkihikiʻi ʻe Siope ʻa e huafa ʻo Sihová. ʻI he aʻu ki hono lōmekina ia ʻe he ongoongo fekauʻaki mo e mate ʻa ʻene fānaú, naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻe Siope ha meʻa taʻetotonu ʻe taha ki he ʻOtuá.
