“ʻE Fokotuu Mau Ai Hoo Gaahi Mahalo” pe Palaní
ʻI HA fasi naʻá ne faʻu, naʻe lotu ai ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-saame ko Tēvitá: “E Otua, ke ke fakatubu iate au ae loto maa; mo ke fakafoou iate au ha laumalie tuu mau. Toe omi kiate au ae fiefia o hoo fakamoui; mo ke boubou aki au ho laumalie tauataina.” (Sāme 51:10, 12, PM) Hili ʻene faiangahala mo Patisepá, naʻe kōlenga heni ʻa e tokotaha fakatomala ko Tēvitá kia Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ke ne fakamaʻa hono lotó pea ʻai ʻi loto ʻiate ia ʻa e laumālie, pe hehema fakaefakakaukau, ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonú.
ʻOku fakatupu moʻoni ʻe Sihova ʻia kitautolu ha loto foʻou, naʻa mo hono ʻai kia kitautolu ha laumālie foʻou mo loto-lelei? Pe ko e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau feinga ki aí ke maʻu mo maluʻi ha loto maʻa? “Ko e sivi loto ko Sihova ia,” ka ko e hā hono lahi ʻo ʻene kau mai ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻi hotau lotó? (Palovepi 17:3; Selemaia 17:10) Ko e hā hono lahi ʻo ʻene tākiekina ʻetau moʻuí, ngaahi taumuʻá mo e ngaahi ngāué?
ʻI hono ngāueʻaki tuʻo valu ʻa e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá, ko e ʻuluaki veesi ʻe hiva ʻo e Palovepi vahe 16 ʻoku fakahaaʻi mai ai ʻa e founga ʻe lava ke tau ʻomai ai ʻetau moʻuí ke puleʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ke ‘fokotuu mau ai ʻetau ngaahi palaní.’ (Palovepi 16:3, PM) Ko e Palovepi vahe 16 veesi 10 ki he 15 ʻoku fakahanga ai ʻa e tokangá ki he fatongia ʻo ha tuʻi pe ko ha pule.
Ko e “Teuteu ʻi he Loto”—ʻE Hai?
“Ko hono teuteu ʻi he loto ʻoku ʻa e tangata,” ko e fakamatala ia ʻi he Palovepi 16:1a. ʻOku hā mahino, ko e “teuteu ʻi he loto” ko hotau fatongia ia. ʻOku ʻikai teuteuʻi fakaemana ʻe Sihova hotau lotó pe ʻomai kia kitautolu ha laumālie loto-lelei. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau fai ha feinga ke maʻu ha ʻilo totonu ʻo ʻene Folofolá, ko e Tohi Tapú, fakakaukauloto ki he meʻa ʻoku tau akó pea ʻomai ʻetau fakakaukaú ke fehoanaki mo ʻene fakakaukaú.—Palovepi 2:10, 11.
Kae kehe, ko e kole ʻa Tēvita ki ha “lotomaa” mo ha ‘laumalie fooú,’ ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ʻa ʻene hehema angahalaʻiá mo e fiemaʻu ʻo e tokoni fakaʻotuá ke fakamaʻa ai hono lotó. Koeʻuhi ko e taʻehaohaoá, ʻoku fakataueleʻi nai ai kitautolu ke tau kau ʻi he “ngaahi ngaue ʻa Kakano.” (Kaletia 5:19-21) Ke “ʻai ke mate leva [hotau] ngaahi kupu ʻoku ʻi mamani, ko e feʻauaki, angaʻuli, havala, holi pango; kaeʻumaʻā ʻa e manumanu,” ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ʻa e tokoni ʻa Sihová. (Kolose 3:5) He mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ē ke tau lotu ki heʻene tokoní koeʻuhi ke fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei he fakavaivai ki he ngaahi fakatauelé pea ke toʻo ai mei hotau lotó ʻa e ngaahi hehema angahalaʻiá!
ʻE lava ke tau tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻi hono “teuteu” honau lotó? “ʻOku ai ha taha ko ʻene faʻa lau ʻoku hange ko e hokohokai ha heleta,” ko e lau ia ʻa e Tohi Tapú, “ka ko e ʻelelo ʻo e poto ko e meʻa faitoʻo.” (Palovepi 12:18) Ko fē ʻa e taimi ʻoku hoko ai ko e meʻa faitoʻo ʻa hotau ʻeleló? ʻI he taimi pē ‘oku mei a Jihova ai ae tali oe ʻeleló,’ ʻa ia ko e taimi ʻoku tau leaʻaki ai ʻa e ngaahi lea tonu fakalaumālie ʻo e moʻoní.—Palovepi 16:1, PM.
“Ko e fungani ʻi he meʻa kākā ka ko e loto, pea ʻoku hilio hono kovi,” ko e lau ia ʻa e Tohi Tapú. (Selemaia 17:9) Ko hotau lotó ʻoku hehema ia ke fakatonuhiaʻi-kita mo kākaaʻi-kita. ʻI he fakatokanga ki he fakatuʻutāmaki ko ení, ʻoku pehē ʻe Tuʻi Solomone ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga muʻá: “Oku maa ae hala kotoabe oe tagata ki hono mata oona; ka oku fakamāu e Jihova ae gaahi laumalie.”—Palovepi 16:2, PM.
Ko e ʻofa ʻia kitá ʻoku fakatupunga nai ai ke tau fakatonuhiaʻi ʻetau ngaahi fehālaakí, fufū ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga koví, pea fakakuikui ki heʻetau koví tonu. Neongo ia, heʻikai lava ke kākaaʻi ʻa Sihova. ʻOkú ne fakamaau ʻa e ngaahi laumālié. Ko e laumālie ʻo ha taha ko ʻene hehema fakaefakakaukau tefitó ia pea ʻoku fekauʻaki ia mo e lotó. ʻI ha tuʻunga lahi, ko ʻene fakalakalaka ʻa e laumālie ʻo ha taha ʻoku fakatuʻunga ia ʻi he ngāue ʻa e lotó, ʻa ia ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa hangē ko ʻetau ngaahi fakakaukaú, ngaahi ongoʻí mo e ngaahi fakaueʻilotó. Ko e laumālié ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fakamāuʻi ʻe he tokotaha “sivi loto,” pea ko ʻene ngaahi fakamāú ʻoku ʻatā mei he filifilimānakó pe hūmataniú. ʻOku tau poto kapau ʻoku tau maluʻi hotau laumālié.
“Tuku kia Jihova Hoo Gaue Kotoape”
Ko hono fai ʻo e ngaahi palaní ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e fakakaukaú—ko ha ngāue ʻa hotau lotó. ʻOku faʻa hoko mai ʻa e ngaahi ngāué ʻi he ngaahi palaní. Te tau lavameʻa ʻi heʻetau ngaahi feingá? ʻOku pehē ʻe Solomone: “Tuku kia Jihova hoo gaue kotoabe, bea e fokotuu mau ai hoo gaahi mahalo [pe palaní].” (Palovepi 16:3, PM) Ke tuku kia Sihova ʻetau ngaahi ngāué ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ke tuku ʻetau falalá ʻiate ia, ke fakafalala kiate ia, ke fakamoʻulaloa kiate ia—hangē ko e laú, ke tuku ʻa e kavengá mei hotau umá kiate ia. Naʻe hiva ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “Tekaki kia Sihova ho ʻalunga; ʻIo falala ki ai, pea te ne fai ʻe ia.”—Sāme 37:5.
Kae kehe, ke fokotuʻu maʻu ʻetau ngaahi palaní, kuo pau ke fehoanaki ia mo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea kuo pau ke tupu ia mei he ngaahi fakaueʻiloto lelei. ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻoku totonu ke tau lotu kia Sihova ki ha tokoni mo e poupou pea fai fakamākukanga ʻetau lelei tahá ke muimui ʻi he faleʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú. ʻOku mahuʻinga tautefito ke ‘li ʻetau kavengá kia Sihova’ ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fehangahangai ai mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí pe faingataʻá, he te ne ‘poupou kitautolu.’ Ko e moʻoni, “ʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ʻa e maʻoniʻoni ke ueʻia ʻo taʻengata.”—Sāme 55:22.
“Kuo Ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻa e Meʻa Kotoa Pe ke Hoa mo Hono Nafa” Pe Taumuʻá
Ko e hā ha toe meʻa ʻe hoko ʻi heʻetau tuku kia Sihova ʻetau ngaahi ngāué? “Kuo ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe ke hoa mo hono nafa” pe taumuʻá, ko e lau ia ʻa e tuʻi potó. (Palovepi 16:4a) Ko e Tokotaha-Fakatupu ʻo e ʻunivēsí ko ha ʻOtua ia ʻo e taumuʻa. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau tuku ai kiate ia ʻetau ngaahi ngāué, ʻoku hoko ai ʻetau moʻuí ʻo fonu ʻi he ngāue mohu taumuʻa mo mohu ʻuhinga, ʻo ʻatā mei he kulanoá pe muná. Pea ko e taumuʻa ʻa Sihova ki he māmaní mo e tangata ʻi aí ʻoku taʻengata. (Efeso 3:11) Naʻá ne faʻu ʻa e fonuá mo fakatupu ia “ke nofoʻanga.” (Aisea 45:18) ʻIkai ngata aí, ko e meʻa naʻá ne muʻaki fakataumuʻa ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi he māmaní ʻoku pau ke hoko moʻoni ia. (Senesi 1:28) Ko ha moʻui ʻoku līʻoa ki he ʻOtua moʻoní ʻe taʻehanongataʻanga pea ʻi ai hono ʻuhinga taʻengata.
Kuo ʻai ʻe Sihova naʻa mo e “kau angahala foki ki he ʻaho ʻo e kovi.” (Palovepi 16:4e) Naʻe ʻikai te ne fakatupu ʻa e kau angahalá, he “ʻoku haohaoa ʻene ngaue.” (Teutalonome 32:4) Kae kehe, kuó ne fakaʻatā kinautolu ke nau ʻi ai pea hokohoko atu ʻenau moʻuí kae ʻoua kuó ne vakai ʻoku feʻunga ke fakahoko ʻene fakamaau fakafilí. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Felo ʻo ʻIsipité: “Naʻa ku fokotuʻu koe ki he meʻa ko eni, ke u fakaha ʻiate koe hoku ivi, pea koeʻuhi ke ongoongoa hoku hingoa ʻi mamani katoa.” (Ekisoto 9:16) Ko e Mala ʻe Hongofulú mo e fakaʻauha ʻo Felo mo ʻene ngaahi kongakaú ʻi he Tahi Kulokulá ko e ongo fakahāhā fakangalongataʻa moʻoni ia ʻo e mālohi taʻehanotatau ʻo e ʻOtuá.
ʻOku toe lava ke fokotuʻutuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi tuʻungá ʻi ha founga ʻa ia ʻoku fakahoko ai ʻi he taʻeʻilo ʻe he kau angahalá ʻa ʻene taumuʻá. Naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “Koe mooni e fakaogolelei koe e he ita ae tagata: bea ko hono toe oe ita te ke lolomi [ʻe Sihova].” (Sāme 76:10, PM) ʻE fakaʻatā nai ʻe Sihova ʻa hono ngaahi filí ke nau fakahāhā ʻenau ʻita ki heʻene kau sevānití—ka ki he tuʻunga pē ʻoku fiemaʻu ke akonekina ai ʻa hono kakaí pea akoʻi ai kinautolu. Ko e toenga ʻo e meʻá ni, ʻoku ʻa e ʻOtuá ia.
Lolotonga ʻoku tokoniʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene kau sevāniti fakatōkilaló, fēfē ʻa e kau fielahí mo e hīkisiá? “Oku fakalielia kia Jihova akinautolu kotoabe oku loto fielahi,” ko e lau ia ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsilelí. “Kabau e buke ae nima ki he nima, e ikai tae hoko hono tautea.” (Palovepi 16:5, PM) Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku “loto fielahi” te nau fakatahataha nai ʻo fepoupouaki, ka heʻikai te nau hao mei he tauteá. ʻOku tau fakapotopoto leva ke fakatupulekina ʻa e laumālie fakatōkilaló ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e hā hono lahi ʻetau ʻiló pe ko e lahi nai ʻo ʻetau malavá pe ko e hā pē nai ha ngaahi monū ʻo e ngāué ʻoku tau maʻu.
“I he Manavahe kia Jihova”
ʻI he fanauʻi mo e angahalá, ʻoku tau hehema ai ke faihala. (Loma 3:23; 5:12) Ko e hā te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei hono fai ʻo e ngaahi palani ʻa ia ʻe iku ki ha ʻalunga koví? ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻi he Palovepi 16:6 (PM): “Oku fakamaa mei he agahala e he aloofa moe mooni: bea koe mea i he manavahe kia Jihova oku tafoki ai ae tagata mei he kovi.” Lolotonga ʻoku fakaleleiʻi ʻetau angahalá ʻi heʻene ʻaloʻofá mo e moʻoní, ko e manavahē kia Sihová ʻokú ne taʻofi kitautolu mei hono fai ʻo e ngaahi angahalá. He mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ē ko ia he ʻi he tānaki atu ki he ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá mo e houngaʻia ki heʻene ʻaloʻofá, ʻoku tau fakatupulekina ai ʻa e manavahē ʻi he taʻefakahōifua kiate iá!
Ko e manavahē ki he ʻOtuá ʻoku hū ia ki hotau lotó ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fakatupulekina ai ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa mo e tokaʻi ki he mālohi anga-kehe ʻo e ʻOtuá. Fakakaukau atu pē ki hono mālohí heʻene tapua mai ʻi he fakatupú! ʻI hono fakamanatuʻi ʻa e fakahāhā ʻo e mālohi ʻi he ngaahi ngāue fakatupu ʻa e ʻOtuá naʻe tokoniʻi ai ʻa e pēteliake ko Siopé ke ne feʻunuʻaki ʻene fakakaukaú. (Siope 42:1-6) ʻIkai ʻoku ueʻi tatau kitautolu ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau lau ai mo fakakaukauloto ki he ngaahi fakamatala fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi feangainga ʻa Sihova mo hono kakaí hangē ko ia ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he Tohi Tapú? Naʻe hiva ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “Mou omi ʻo vakai ʻa e ngaahi ngaue ʻa e ʻOtua; ʻOku fakailifia ʻene toʻonga ki he hako ʻo Atama.” (Sāme 66:5) Ko e ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihová ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ke fakamaʻamaʻaʻi. ʻI he taimi naʻe hoko ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻo ‘agatuu, bea fakamamahi ki he Laumalie Maonioni oe Otuá, nae liliu ai ʻa Jihova ko ho nau fili, bea naa ne tauʻi akinautolu.’ (Aisea 63:10, PM) ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ʻi he “hoifua kia Sihova ʻa e ngaahi ʻalunga ʻo ha tangata: Naʻa mo hono ngaahi fili ʻoku ne ʻai ke nau melino mo ia.” (Palovepi 16:7) Ko ha maluʻanga moʻoni ʻa e manavahē kia Sihová!
“Oku lelei hake ae mea jii moe maonioni, i he maʻu ae koloa lahi i he tae totonu,” ko e lea ia ʻa e tuʻi potó. (Palovepi 16:8, PM) ʻOku pehē ʻe he Palovepi 15:16: “Oku lelei lahi hake ae mea jii moe manavahe kia Jihova, i he koloa lahi oku maʻu moe kovi.” Ko ha manavahē anga-ʻapasia ki he ʻOtuá ʻoku fiemaʻu moʻoni ia ke nofo maʻu ai ʻi ha ʻalunga māʻoniʻoni.
“Ko e Loto ʻo e Tangata ʻOku Ne Sivi ʻa e Hala Te Ne Fou Ai”
Naʻe fakatupu ʻa e tangatá mo ha tauʻatāina ke fili, ʻo malava ke ne fili ʻa e tonú pe ko e halá. (Teutalonome 30:19, 20) Ko hotau lotó ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e malava ke vakai ki he ngaahi fili kehekehe pea tokangataha ki he fili ʻe taha pe lahi ange. ʻI hono fakahaaʻi ko hono fai ʻo e ngaahi filí ko hotau fatongiá, ʻoku pehē ʻe Solomone: “Ko e loto ʻo e tangata ʻoku ne sivi ʻa e hala te ne fou ai.” ʻI he hili hono fai ení, “ko Sihova ʻoku ne fakaʻuli ʻene ʻalu.” (Palovepi 16:9) Koeʻuhi ʻoku lava ke tataki ʻe Sihova ʻetau laká, ʻoku tau fai fakapotopoto kapau ʻoku tau kumi ki heʻene tokoní ʻi hono ‘fokotuu mau ʻetau ngaahi palaní.’
Hangē ko ia kuo tau ʻosi vakai ki aí, ko e lotó ʻoku kākā pea ʻoku malava ke ne fai ʻa e fakaʻuhinga hala. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻe fai nai ʻe ha tokotaha ha angahala, pea ʻe feinga hono lotó ke fakatonuhiaʻi ia. ʻI he ʻikai liʻaki ʻa hono ʻalunga angahalaʻiá, ʻe fakaʻuhinga nai ʻa e tokotahá ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻofa, anga-lelei, mohu meesi mo faʻa fakamolemole. Ko ha tangata pehē kuó ne pehē ʻi hono lotó: “Kuo ngalo ʻi he ʻOtua: Kuo ne hanga kehe; ʻe ʻikai te ne sio ki ai.” (Sāme 10:11) Kae kehe, ʻoku taʻetotonu mo fakatuʻutāmaki ke ʻamanekina ʻa e meesi ʻa e ʻOtuá.
“Koe Mea Fakamamafa moe Mea Fakatatau Totonu Oku Mei a Jihova”
ʻI he hiki ʻene tokangá mei he lotó mo e ngaahi ngāue ʻa e tangata ʻi he māmaní ki he ngāue ʻa ha tuʻi, ʻoku pehē ʻe Solomone: “Oku haʻu mei he lougutu oe tuʻi ae fakamāu oku totonu: oku ikai fai hala hono gutu i he ene fai ae fakamāu.” (Palovepi 16:10, PM) ʻE hoko moʻoni eni ʻi he Tuʻi fakanofo ko Sīsū Kalaisí.
