Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi he pōlepoleʻaki ʻe he kau politikí ʻenau anga-tonú, ʻoku faʻa hā ngali ko ʻenau ʻuhingá ki he faitotonú. ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻa e ʻulungāanga ko iá, ka ko ha konga pē ia ʻo e anga-tonú. Hangē ko ia ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻi he Tohi Tapú, ʻoku kau ki he anga-tonú ʻa e tuʻunga kakato mo e lelei fakaeʻulungāanga. Ko e ngaahi foʻi lea faka-Hepelū ʻoku felāveʻi mo e “anga-tonú” ko e haʻu ia mei ha tupuʻi lea ʻoku ʻuhingá ko e lelei, kakato, pe taʻemele.

Naʻe toki maʻu pē ʻene hōifuá ʻi ha monumanu ʻoku faiʻaki ʻa e feilaulaú ʻo kapau naʻe lelei, pe kakato. (Lau ʻa e Livitiko 22:19, 20.) Naʻe valokiʻi fefeka ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga naʻa nau talangataʻa fakahangatonu ki heʻene fakahinohinó ʻi heʻenau foaki ʻa e fanga monumanu heke, puke pe kui ke fai ʻaki ʻa e feilaulaú.—Mal. 1:6-8.

5, 6. (a) Ko e hā e ongo fakatātā ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻoku tau faʻa fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻa ia ʻoku kakato pe haohaoá? (e) ʻI he hoko mai ki he faʻahinga taʻehaohaoa ʻo e tangatá, ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e anga-tonú ko e haohaoa? Fakamatalaʻi.

⁵ Ko e foʻi fakakaukau ʻo e kumi pea fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku kakato, pe haohaoá, ʻoku ʻikai ke ngalikehe. Hangē ko ení, fakaʻuta atu ki ha tokotaha tānaki tohi ʻokú ne maʻu ha tohi mahuʻinga ʻaupito hili haʻane fekumi ʻi ha taimi lōloa ki ai, peá ne toki ʻiloʻi ʻoku mole mei ai ha ngaahi peesi mātuʻaki mahuʻinga. ʻI he siva ʻa e ʻamanakí, te ne toe fakafoki nai ia ki he tukuʻanga tohí. Pe sioloto atu ki ha fefine ʻokú ne luelue ʻi ha matātahi, ʻo tufi ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ngeʻesi fingota ʻoku ʻomai ki ʻuta ʻe he peaú. ʻI heʻene toʻoa he kehekehe mo e fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakatupu ko ení, ʻokú ne toutou punou hifo ʻo siofi lelei ʻa e ngeʻesi fingota taki taha. Ko fē ʻa e ngeʻesi fingota te ne tauhí? Ko e ngeʻesi fingota ko ē ʻoku kei kakato mo haohaoá. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ʻoku kumi ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he kakai ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e ʻulungāanga ko eni ʻoku kakato pe haohaoá.—2 Kal. 16:9.

⁶ Kae kehe, te ke fifili nai pe ʻoku fiemaʻu ke haohaoa ʻa e anga-tonú. Koeʻuhi ko e maumau kuo hoko kia kitautolu ʻi he angahalá mo e taʻehaohaoá, te tau hehema nai ke fakakaukau kia kitautolu ʻoku tau mei hangē ko ha tohi taʻekakato pe ko ha ngeʻesi fingota kuo mapakipaki. ʻOku pehē ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻa hoʻo ongoʻí? Fakapapauʻi ange ʻoku ʻikai ʻamanekina mai ʻe Sihova ia ke tau haohaoa ʻi he tuʻunga kakato tahá. ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito te ne ʻamanekina mai meia kitautolu ha meʻa ʻoku lahi ange ʻi he meʻa ʻoku tau malava ke faí.a (Sāme 103:14; Sem. 3:2) Neongo ia, ʻokú ne ʻamanekina mai ke tau tauhi maʻu ʻetau anga-tonú. ʻI heʻene peheé, ʻoku ʻi ai ha faikehekehe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e haohaoá mo e anga-tonú? ʻIo. Ke fakatātaaʻi: ʻOku ʻofa ha talavou ʻi ha finemui ʻa ia ʻoku teu ke ne mali mo ia. ʻE fakavalevale ke ne ʻamanekina ʻe haohaoa ʻa e finemuí. Kae kehe, ʻe fakapotopoto ke ne ʻamanekina ʻoku ʻofa loto-kakato ʻiate ia ʻa e finemuí, ʻa ia ko e maʻu ʻe he finemuí ʻa e ʻofa fakaemanako kiate ia tokotaha pē. ʻI he founga meimei tatau, ko Sihová “ko ha ʻOtua ʻokú ne kounaʻi ʻa e anga-līʻoa maʻataʻatā.” (Eki. 20:5, NW) ʻOku ʻikai te ne ʻamanekina mai ke tau haohaoa, ka ke tau ʻofa kiate ia ʻaki e kotoa ʻo hotau lotó, ʻo fai kiate ia pē toko taha ʻa e lotú.

⁷ Te tau manatu nai ki he tali ʻa Sīsū ʻi hono ʻeke ange kiate ia pe ko e hā ʻa e lao mahuʻinga taha ʻi he ngaahi laó kotoa. (Lau ʻa e Maake 12:28-30.) Naʻe ʻikai ngata pē ʻi hono ʻoange ʻe Sīsū ʻa e talí; naʻá ne moʻui ʻo tatau mo e meʻa naʻá ne leaʻakí. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga māʻolunga taha ʻi he ʻofa kia Sihova ʻaki hono ʻatamaí, lotó, moʻuí mo e mālohí kotoa. Naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ko e anga-tonú ʻoku fakahaaʻi ia, ʻo ʻikai ʻi he lea pē, ka ʻi he ngaahi ngāue lelei ʻa ia ʻoku tupu mei he ngaahi fakaueʻiloto maʻa. Ko ʻetau tauhi anga-tonú ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke tau muimui ʻi he topuvaʻe ʻo Sīsuú.—1 Pita 2:21.

⁸ Ko e ʻuhinga leva eni ʻo ʻetau anga-tonú ʻi he mahino Fakatohitapú: ko e līʻoa ʻaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo e lotó ki he Tokotaha ʻi hēvani ʻe taha, ko e ʻOtua ko Sihová, pea ki hono finangalo mo e taumuʻa kuo fakahāʻí. Ko e tauhi maʻu ʻo e anga-tonú ʻoku ʻuhinga iá te tau feinga ʻo hiliō he meʻa kotoa ʻi heʻetau moʻui fakaʻahó, ke fakahōifuaʻi ʻa e ʻOtua ko Sihová.

Ko Sētané ko hono moʻoní kuó ne taukaveʻi heʻikai ha tangata ʻe tuʻu ʻo poupouʻi ʻa e tuʻunga-hau ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia heʻikai ha taha ʻe tauhi kia Sihova ʻi he ʻofa taʻesiokita. ʻI he ʻao ʻo ha fuʻu fakatahataha ʻo e ngaahi meʻamoʻui laumālié, naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe he Tēvoló kia Sihova: “Ko e kili pe ia telia ha kili: ʻio, ʻe ʻatu ʻe ha tangata ʻene meʻa kotoa telia ʻene moʻui.” (Siope 2:4) Fakatokangaʻi naʻe ʻikai fakangatangata ʻe Sētane ʻa e lea tuku hifo ko iá ki he tangata māʻoniʻoni pē ko Siopé ka naʻá ne fakalea ia ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá fakalūkufua. ʻOku feʻungamālie ai ʻa hono ui ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa Sētane ko e “fakakovi o ho tau kaiga” pe fanga tokouá.
