Tānaki atu ki he meʻa ʻoku hokosia fakalūkufua ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku tau toe fehangahangai mo ha “fili ko e Tevolo,” ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakapapauʻi ke fakavaivaiʻi ʻetau tuí.

4. Ko e hā ʻokú ne fakafiemālieʻi kitautolu ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau hokosia ai ʻa e ngaahi mamahí?

Fakatokangaʻi ange ʻene toe ngaahi lea ʻi he saame ko iá: “ʻOku ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau masiva, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne taʻe tokaʻi ʻene kau popula,” pe ko ʻene kakai ʻoku nofo pōpulá. (Sāme 69:33) ʻI ha ʻuhinga fakalūkufua, ʻoku tau ongoʻi nai ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻo hangē ko e kau pōpula kitautolu ʻoku haʻisia ʻi heʻetau ngaahi mamahí pe faingataʻaʻiá. ʻE hā nai ʻoku ʻikai ke mahinoʻi moʻoni ʻe he niʻihi kehé ʻa hotau tuʻungá—pea mahalo pē ʻoku ʻikai. Ka ʻi he hangē ko Tēvitá, ʻe lava ke fakafiemālieʻi kitautolu ʻi he ʻiloʻi ʻoku mahinoʻi kakato ʻe Sihova ʻetau ngaahi mamahí.—Sāme 34:15.
5. Ko e hā naʻe falala pau ki ai ʻa Tuʻi Solomoné?
5 Ko e foha ʻo Tēvita ko Solomoné naʻá ne fakamamafaʻi ʻa e moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ení ʻi he fakatapui ʻo e temipale ʻi Selusalemá. (Lau ʻa e 2 Kalonikali 6:29-31.) Naʻá ne kōlenga kia Sihova ke ne fanongo mai ki he lotu ʻa e tokotaha loto-totonu kotoa pē naʻe fakaofiofi kiate Ia fekauʻaki mo ‘ʻene ongoʻi taki taha hono ta mo hono mamahi.’ Naʻe fēfē ʻa e fakafeangai ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he ngaahi lotu ʻa e faʻahinga mamahi tāutaha ko ení?

Koeʻuhi ʻokú ne ʻafioʻi moʻoni ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻi he “loto fuape ʻo e hakoʻi tangata.”
6. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fekuki mo e loto-moʻuá, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
6 ʻOku lava ke tau fakaofiofi ʻi he founga tatau kia Sihova ʻi he lotu fekauʻaki mo ‘ʻetau ongoʻi taki taha hotau tā mo hotau mamahi,’ ʻa ʻetau ngaahi loto-mamahi tāutahá. ʻOku totonu ke tau fiemālie ʻi he ʻiloʻi ʻokú ne mahinoʻi ʻetau ngaahi mamahí pea ʻokú ne tokanga mai kiate kitautolu. Naʻe fakapapauʻi eni ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá ʻi heʻene pehē: “Mou li atu ā hono kotoa ʻo hoʻomou lotomoʻua ki he ʻEne ʻAfio; he ʻoku ne mamahiʻi [pe tokanga kiate] kimoutolu.” (1 Pita 5:7) ʻOku tokanga mai ʻa Sihova ki he meʻa ʻoku hoko kiate kitautolú. Naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tokanga ʻofa ʻa Sihová, ʻi heʻene pehē: “ʻIkai ʻoku fakatau ha ongo kiʻi misi ʻe toko ua ki ha konga seniti pe? ka ʻe ʻikai patū ki he kelekele hana taha taʻe meʻa ki ai ʻe hoʻomou Tamai. Ka ko e meʻa kiate kimoutolu, ko homou ngāhi tuʻoni louʻulu kuo ʻosi lau fakalautelau. Ko ia ʻoua te mou manavahe: ʻoku mou mahuʻinga kimoutolu ʻi ha fanga misi tokolahi.”—Mt. 10:29-31.

Fakakaukau angé ki he meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻi he 1 Kolinito 10:13: “Ko e ʻOtua ko e toko taha ʻoku fai ki heʻene lea, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fakangofua ke ʻahiʻahiʻi kimoutolu ʻo makehe atu ʻi hoʻomou mafai; kae kehe, te ne ngaohi fakataha mo e ʻahiʻahi hono haoʻanga foki mei ai, koeʻuhi ke lava hono katakiʻi.” ʻE tataki nai ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ke toʻo ʻa ʻetau faingataʻaʻiá, pe te ne ʻomai nai kiate kitautolu ʻa e mālohi ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ke kātakiʻi ai iá. Ko e hā pē ʻa e foungá, ʻe tokoniʻi kitautolu.
8. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau maʻu ʻaonga mei he tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá?
8 ʻOku lava fēfē ke tau maʻu ʻaonga mei he tokoni ko iá? Fakatokangaʻi ange ʻa e meʻa oku faleʻi mai ke tau faí: “Mou li atu ā hono kotoa ʻo hoʻomou lotomoʻua ki he ʻEne ʻAfio.” ʻOku ʻuhinga ení ke tau ʻoange fakaefakatātā kia Sihova ʻa e fatongia ko hono tokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ʻoku tau tokanga mo hohaʻa ki aí. ʻOku tau feinga ke tuku ʻetau loto-moʻuá pea falala anga-kātaki kiate ia te ne tokangaʻi ʻetau ngaahi fiemaʻú. (Mt. 6:25-32) Ko e falala peheé ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ai ʻa e anga-fakatōkilalo, ʻo ʻikai falala ki hotau mālohi pe poto pē ʻo kitautolú. ʻI hono fakavaivaiʻi kitautolu “ʻi he lalo nima mafimafi ʻo e ʻOtua,” ʻoku tau fakahaaʻi ai ʻa hotau tuʻunga māʻulaló. (Lau ʻa e 1 Pita 5:6.) ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ʻoku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he meʻá ni ke fekuki ai mo ha meʻa pē ʻoku fakaʻatā ʻe he ʻOtuá. Te tau hoholi nai ki ha fakafiemālie vave, ka ʻoku tau falala ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e taimi pea mo e founga tofu pē te ne ngāue mai ai maʻatautolú.—Sāme 54:7; Ai. 41:10.
9. Ko e hā ʻa e faʻahinga kavenga naʻe fiemaʻu ke lī ʻe Tēvita kia Sihová?
9 Manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Tēvita ʻoku hiki ʻi he Sāme 55:22: “Li hoʻo kavenga kia Sihova, he te ne poupou koe ʻe ia: ʻE ʻikai te ne tuku ʻa e maʻoniʻoni ke ueʻia ʻo taʻengata.” ʻI he taimi naʻe hiki ai ʻe Tēvita ʻa e ngaahi lea ko iá, naʻá ne ʻi he tuʻunga mamahi lahi. (Sāme 55:4) ʻOku mahinoʻi ko e saame ko ení naʻe hiki ia ʻi he taimi naʻe faʻufaʻu fakafufū ai ʻa hono foha ko ʻApisalomé ke toʻo meiate ia ʻa e tuʻunga tuʻí. Ko e tokotaha faleʻi falalaʻanga taha ʻa Tēvitá ʻa ʻEhitofeli naʻe kau mo ia ʻi he faʻufaʻufono ko iá. Naʻe pau ke hola ʻa Tēvita mei Selusalema telia ʻa ʻene moʻuí. (2 Sam. 15:12-14) Naʻa mo e ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga fakamamahi ko iá, naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e falala ʻa Tēvita ki he ʻOtuá, pea naʻe ʻikai siva ʻene ʻamanakí.
10. Ko e hā kuo pau ke tau fai ʻi he fehangahangai mo e mamahí?
10 ʻOku mahuʻinga ke tau hangē ko Tēvitá, ʻo fakaofiofi kia Sihova ʻi he lotu fekauʻaki mo ha mamahi pē nai ʻoku tau hokosia. Tau lāulea angé ki he meʻa naʻe ekinaki ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ke tau fai ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni. (Lau ʻa e Filipai 4:6, 7.) Ko e hā ʻe hoko ʻi he lotu fakamātoato peheé? “Ko e nonga ʻa e ʻOtua, ʻa ia ʻoku mamaʻo ʻi he tatae ʻa e ʻatamai kotoa pe, te ne maluʻi [hotau] loto mo [ʻetau] ngaahi fakakaukau ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.”
11. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono maluʻi ʻe he “nonga ʻa e ʻOtua” hotau lotó mo ʻetau ngaahi fakakaukaú?
11 ʻE iku ʻo liliu ho tuʻungá ʻi he lotú? ʻE malava pē ke hoko. Kae kehe, ʻoku totonu ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻikai ke tali maʻu pē ʻe Sihova ʻetau ngaahi lotú ʻi he founga nai te tau fiemaʻú. Neongo ia, ʻoku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he lotú ke tauhi maʻu ʻetau mafamafatatau fakaefakakaukaú, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua ʻe lōmekina kitautolu ʻe heʻetau ngaahi mamahí. “Ko e nonga ʻa e ʻOtua” ʻoku lava ke ne ʻai ke tau tuʻumaʻu ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau mafasia ai ʻi he ngaahi ongoʻi mamahí. ʻI he hangē ko ha kongakau ʻo e kau sōtia kuo vaheʻi ke nau maluʻi ha kolo mei hono ʻohofi ʻe he filí, “ko e nonga ʻa e ʻOtua” te ne maluʻi hotau lotó mo ʻetau ngaahi fakakaukaú. Te ne toe ʻai ke tau lava ʻo ikuʻi ʻetau lotolotouá, ilifiá mo e ngaahi fakakaukau fakalotosiʻí pea maluʻi kitautolu mei hono fai fakavave mo taʻefakapotopoto ha meʻá.—Sāme 145:18.
12. Fakatātaaʻi ʻa e founga ʻe lava ke maʻu ai ʻe ha tokotaha ʻa e nongá.
12 ʻE lava fēfē ke tau maʻu ʻa e nonga lolotonga ʻetau fuesia ʻa e ngaahi mamahí? Fakakaukau angé ki ha fakatātā ʻa ia ʻoku tatau ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe niʻihi mo hotau tuʻungá. ʻOku ngāue nai ha tokotaha ngāue ʻi he malumalu ʻo ha pule anga-fefeka. Neongo ia, ʻoku maʻu ʻe he tokotaha ngāué ha faingamālie ke fakahaaʻi ai ʻene ngaahi ongoʻí ki he tokotaha ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻa e kautahá, ʻa ia ko ha tangata anga-lelei mo fakaʻatuʻi. ʻOku fakapapauʻi ange ʻe he tokotaha ʻoku ʻaʻana ʻa e kautahá ki he tokotaha ngāué ʻokú ne mahinoʻi ʻa e tuʻungá peá ne fakahaaʻi ange ai kuo vavé ni ke ne toʻo ʻa e pulé mei hono lakangá. ʻOku ʻai ʻe he meʻa ko iá ke ongoʻi fēfē ʻa e tokotaha ngāué? Ko e tui ki he meʻa naʻe tala angé mo hono ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻe hokó ʻe ʻai ai ke mālohi ʻene fakapapau ke hokohoko atú, neongo ai pē kapau ʻe pau nai ke ne fehangahangai ʻi he taimi ko iá mo ha toe ngaahi faingataʻa. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ʻoku mahinoʻi ʻe Sihova hotau tuʻungá, pea ʻokú ne fakapapauʻi mai kuo vavé ni ke ‘kapusi ki tuʻa ʻa e ʻeiki ʻo e maama ko ení.’ (Sione 12:31) He fakafiemālie moʻoni ko ia!
13. Tānaki atu ki he lotú, ko e hā mo ha toe meʻa kuo pau ke tau fai?
13 ʻOku feʻunga leva ai ke tau ʻave pē ʻetau ngaahi palopalemá kia Sihova ʻi he lotu? ʻIkai. ʻOku fiemaʻu ʻa e meʻa lahi ange. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau ngāue ʻo fehoanaki mo ʻetau ngaahi lotú. ʻI he taimi naʻe fekauʻi atu ai ʻe Tuʻi Saula ʻa e kau tangata ki he ʻapi ʻo Tēvitá ke fakapoongi iá, naʻe lotu ʻa Tēvita: “ʻE hoku ʻOtua, hamusi au mei hoku ngaahi fili: Hiki ki ʻolunga meiate kinautolu ʻoku tuʻu mai. Hamusi au mei he kakai ʻoku moʻui ʻaki ʻa e angahala, pea fakahaofi au mei he kau siana totoʻia.” (Sāme 59:1, 2) Tānaki atu ki he lotú, naʻe fanongo ʻa Tēvita ki hono uaifí peá ne fai ʻa e ngāue naʻe fiemaʻú ke ne hola ai ʻo hao. (1 Sam. 19:11, 12) ʻI ha founga meimei tatau, ʻoku lava ke tau lotu ki ha poto ʻaonga ke tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke tau fekuki mo hotau ngaahi tuʻunga fakalotomamahí ʻo fakaleleiʻi nai ai.—Sem. 1:5.
Founga ʻe Lava Ke Tau Maʻu Ai ʻa e Mālohi ke Kātakí
14. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau kātaki ʻi he fehangahangai mo e mamahí?
14 Heʻikai nai ke toʻo vave ʻetau ngaahi mamahí. ʻE hokohoko atu nai ia ʻi ha taimi. Kapau ko e tuʻungá ia, ko e hā te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau kātakí? ʻUluakí, manatuʻi ko e taimi ʻoku tau hokohoko atu ai ʻa e tauhi faitōnunga kia Sihova neongo ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻá, ʻoku tau fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻetau ʻofa kiate iá. (Ng. 14:22) Manatuʻi ʻa e tukuakiʻi naʻe fai ʻe Sētane ʻo fekauʻaki mo Siopé: “He ʻoku ʻapasia ʻa Siope ki he ʻAfiona tuʻungaʻa pe? ʻIkai kuo ke ʻaʻi takai ia mo hono fale, mo e meʻa kotoa ʻoku ne maʻu? Kuo ke tapuakiʻi ʻa e ngaue ʻa hono nima, pea ko ʻene monumanu ʻoku nau ʻufiʻufi ʻa e fonua. Ka ko eni, ala atu muʻa ki heʻene ngaahi meʻa; pea talaatu te ne matuʻaki tafuli meiate koe.” (Siope 1:9-11) Fakafou heʻene anga-tonú, naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻe Siope ko ha loi fakaʻaufuli ʻa e tukuakiʻi ko ia naʻe faí. ʻI heʻetau kātaki ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga fakalotomamahí, ʻoku tau maʻu ai foki ha faingamālie ke fakamoʻoniʻi ko ha tokotaha loi ʻa Sētane. ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ko ʻetau kātakí ʻoku ʻai ai ke mālohi ʻetau ʻamanakí mo e falala paú.—Sem. 1:4.
15. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻe lava ke ne fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolú?
15 Uá, manatuʻi “ʻoku tatau ʻaupito mo e ngaahi mamahi na ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku moʻua ai homou faʻahinga ʻi mamani.” (1 Pita 5:9) ʻIo, “kuo teʻeki ke moʻua kimoutolu ʻe ha faʻahinga ʻahiʻahi ʻoku taʻehoa mo e tangata.” (1 Kol. 10:13) Ko ia ai, ʻe lava ke mou maʻu ʻa e mālohi mo e loto-toʻa ʻi he fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa e niʻihi kehé kae ʻikai tokangataha pē ki hoʻomou ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá. (1 Tes. 1:5-7; Hep. 12:1) Vaheʻi ʻa e taimi ke fakakaukau ai fekauʻaki mo e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi kuo nau kātaki faitōnunga neongo ʻenau fuesia ʻa e ngaahi mamahí. Kuo mou fekumi ki he ngaahi talanoa ki he moʻuí ʻa ia kuo pulusí, ʻo kumi ke maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakamatala ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia kuo nau hokosia ʻa e meʻa meimei tatau mo e meʻa ʻoku mou fehangahangai mo iá? Te mou ʻiloʻi nai ai ʻoku mātuʻaki fakaivimālohi ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni.
16. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi heʻetau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kehekehé?
16 Tolú, manatuʻi ko Sihová “koe Tamai ae gaahi aloofa, moe Otua oe fiemalie kotoabe; Aia oku ne fakafiemalieʻi akimautolu i he e mau mamahi kotoabe, koeuhi ke mau faa fai ai ke fakafiemalieʻi akinautolu oku mamahiia, aki ae fakafiemalie koia aia oku fakafiemalieʻi aki akimautolu e he Otua.” (2 Kol. 1:3, 4, PM) ʻOku hangē ia ʻoku tuʻu ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hotau tafaʻakí ke fakalotolahiʻi mo fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu, ʻo ʻikai ʻi heʻetau mamahi lolotongá pē ka ʻi he ʻetau “mamahi kotoabe.” ʻOku ʻai leva ʻe he meʻá ni ke tau malava ʻo fakafiemālieʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé “[ʻi ha faʻahinga] mamahiia” pē. Naʻe hokosia fakafoʻituitui ʻe Paula ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e ngaahi leá ni.—2 Kol. 4:8, 9; 11:23-27.
17. ʻOku lava fēfē ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he Tohi Tapú ke tau fekuki mo e ngaahi tuʻunga fakamamahi ʻi he moʻuí?
17 Faá, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e Tohi Tapú, ʻa ia ʻoku “aoga ia ki he akonaki, moe valoki, moe fakatonutonu, moe fakaboto ki he maonioni: Koeuhi ke [taau] haohaoa ae tagata oe Otua, bea kakato hono teuteu ki he gaahi gaue lelei kotoabe.” (2 Tim. 3:16, 17, PM) Ko e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻai pē ke tau ‘taau’ mo “teuteu ki he gaahi gaue lelei kotoabe.” ʻOkú ne toe fakamafeia foki kitautolu ke fekuki mo e ngaahi tuʻunga fakamamahi ʻi he moʻuí. ʻOkú ne ʻai kitautolu ke tau ‘taau haohaoa” pea “kakato hono teuteu.” Ko e muʻaki foʻi lea naʻe liliu ko e “kakato hono teuteu” ʻoku ʻuhinga fakafoʻileá ko e “feʻungamālie.” Ko e foʻi leá ni naʻe lava ke ngāueʻaki ia ʻi he kuonga muʻá fekauʻaki mo ha vaka naʻe feʻungamālie mo e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fiemaʻu ki ha folau pe ko ha mīsini naʻe malava ke ne fakahoko ha meʻa pē naʻe ʻamanekina ke ne fai. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ko Sihova fakafou heʻene Folofolá ʻokú ne ʻomai kiate kitautolu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tau fiemaʻú ke ngāueʻaki ʻi ha meʻa pē ʻe hoko mai nai kiate kitautolu.

Fakahaofi mei he Kotoa ʻo ʻEtau Mamahí
18. Ko e tokangataha ki he hā ʻe toe tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke tau kātaki faitōnungá?
18 Nimá, tokangataha maʻu pē ki he moʻoniʻi meʻa fakaofo ko ia kuo vavé ni ke fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá mei he tuʻunga fakamamahi kotoa pē. (Sāme 34:19; 37:9-11; 2 Pita 2:9) Fakaʻosí, ko hotau fakahaofi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ʻoku ʻikai ko e fakahaofi pē mei he ngaahi tuʻunga fakamamahi lolotongá ka ko e toe faingamālie foki ia ke maʻu ai ʻa e moʻui taʻengata, ʻi hēvani fakataha mo Sīsū pe ʻi ha māmani palataisi.

(Sāme 55:6-8) Tau manatuʻi ko ʻetau kātaki faitōnungá ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ai ko e Tēvoló ko ha tokotaha loi. ʻOfa ke tau maʻu ʻa e mālohi mei heʻetau ngaahi lotú mo ʻetau fetokouaʻaki faka-Kalisitiané, ʻo manatuʻi ʻoku hokosia ʻe hotau fanga tokouá ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi meimei tatau mo hotau ngaahi ʻahiʻahí.
