“Siʻi ʻofaʻanga, . . . tauhi ai kimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtua; . . . ʻo aʻu ki he moʻui taʻengata.”—SIUTASI 20, 21.

4 Fakahāhā ʻa hoʻo ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá ʻaki ʻa e talangofua kiate ia. (Mātiu 22:37) Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Sioné: “Ko eni ia ʻa e ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ʻa ʻetau tauhi ki heʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni. Pea ʻoku ʻikai ke fakamafasia ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni.” (1 Sione 5:3, 4a) Ko ha tōʻongaʻaki ʻa e talangofua ki he ʻOtuá ʻe lava ke fakaivia ai koe ke ke talitekeʻi ʻa e ʻahiʻahí pea ʻe lava ke ne ʻai koe ke ke fiefia. Naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “[Fiefiaā], ka ko e tangata ko ē kuo ʻikai fou ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa e fakaʻotuamate, . . . ka ko e Lao ʻo Sihova ʻa ʻene manako.”—Sāme 1:1, 2.
5. Ko e ʻofa kia Sihová te ne ueʻi koe ke ke fai ʻa e hā?
5 Ko hoʻo ʻofa kia Sihová ʻe ueʻi ai koe ke ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei hono fai ha angahala mamafa ʻa ia ʻe fakamaaʻi ai ʻa hono huafá. Naʻe lotu ʻa ʻAuka: “ʻOua ʻe tuku ke u masiva pe koloaʻia; fafangaʻaki au ʻa e meʻakai ʻo hoku ʻinasi; naʻa ʻiloange te u fuʻu makona, ʻo u fakaʻotuamateʻi ʻa e ʻAfiona; ʻo u pehe, ‘Ko hai ʻa Sihova?’ Pea naʻa ʻiloange te u masiva, ʻo kaihaʻa; pea u talakaaʻi ʻa e huafa ʻo hoku ʻOtua.” (Palovepi 30:1, 8, 9) Fakapapauʻi ke ʻoua ʻe ‘talakaaʻi ʻa e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá’ ʻaki hano fakamaaʻi ia. ʻI hono kehé, feinga maʻu pē ke fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku totonú ʻa ia ʻe ʻoatu ai kiate ia ʻa e lāngilangí.—Sāme 86:12.

(Mātiu 6:13; Loma 12:12) Hanganaki muimui ʻi he akonaki ʻa e ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ke ʻoua ʻe taʻofia ʻa hoʻo ngaahi lotú. (1 Pita 3:7) Kapau ʻokú ke angahala fieangahala, ʻe lava ke hoko ai ha ngaahi nunuʻa fakamamahi, he ʻoku taʻofi ʻe Sihova ʻi he tuʻunga fakaefakatātā ʻa e fakaofiofi ange ʻa e faʻahinga angatuʻú, ʻo hangē ʻokú ne ngāueʻaki ha fuʻu konga ʻaó koeʻuhi ke ʻoua ʻe lava ʻo aʻu hake ʻenau ngaahi lotú kiate ia. (Tangilaulau 3:42-44) Ko ia fakahāhā ha laumālie fakatōkilalo, pea lotu ke ʻoua naʻá ke fai ha meʻa ʻa ia ʻe taʻofi ai ʻa hoʻo fakaofiofi ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he lotú.—2 Kolinito 13:7.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Kapau te mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, te mou nofo maʻu ʻi heʻeku ʻofa; ʻo hangē foki kuo u tauhi ʻe au ʻa e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e Tamai, pea u nofo maʻu ʻi he ʻofa aʻana.” (Sione 15:10) ʻE lava fēfē ke tokoniʻi koe ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú ke ke nofo maʻu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá?
8 Ko e tokanga ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi ai koe ke ke tauhi maʻu ʻa e anga-tonu fakaeʻulungāangá. Naʻe pehē ʻi he Lao ʻa e ʻOtuá ne tuku ki ʻIsilelí: “ʻOua naʻa ke tono ʻunoho.” (Ekisoto 20:14) Ka naʻe fakaeʻa ʻe Sīsū ha tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻoku makatuʻunga ai ʻa e fekau ko iá ʻaki ʻene pehē: “ʻIlonga ʻa ia te ne fakasio ki ha fefine ke tafunaki ʻene holi ki ai, kuo ne tonoʻi ia ʻi hono loto.” (Mātiu 5:27, 28) Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá ko e niʻihi he fakatahaʻanga ʻi he taimi ʻo e kau ʻapositoló ko honau “mata oku fonu i he tono” pea naʻa nau ‘tauhele ae kau laumalie taemaú.’ (2 Pita 2:14, PM) Kae kehe, ʻi he ʻikai hangē ko kinautolú, ʻe lava ke ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi angahala fakaefehokotaki fakasinó kapau ʻokú ke ʻofa pea talangofua ki he ʻOtuá mo Kalaisi pea fakapapauʻi ke tauhi maʻu ʻa ho vahaʻangatae mo kinauá.

9. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ko e hā ʻe lava ke hoko kapau ʻe kīvoi ha taha ʻi he faiangahalá?
9 Lotu ʻo kole ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea fakaʻatā ia ke ne tataki koe. (Luke 11:13; Kaletia 5:19-25) Kapau te ke kīvoi ʻi he faiangahalá, ʻe lava ke toʻo ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa hono laumālié meiate koe. Hili e faiangahala ʻa Tēvita mo Patisepá, naʻá ne kōlenga ki he ʻOtuá: “Oua naa ke liaki au mei ho ao; bea oua naa ke too iate au ho laumalie maonioni.” (Sāme 51:11, PM) Naʻe mole meia Tuʻi Saula ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ko ʻene hoko ko e tokotaha faiangahala taʻefakatomalá. Naʻe faiangahala ʻa Saula ʻi heʻene fai ha feilaulau tutu pea ʻi heʻene fakahaofi ʻa e tākanga sipi mo e kosi, ko e fanga pulu pea mo e tuʻi ko ia ʻo e kau ʻAmalekí. ʻI he hili iá naʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ʻa hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní meia Saula.—1 Samiuela 13:1-14; 15:1-35; 16:14-23.

11, 12. ʻI he ngaahi founga fē ʻe taʻofi ai ʻe he ʻofá mo e fakaʻapaʻapá ha taha mei heʻene kau ki he tōʻonga hala fakaefehokotaki fakasinó?
11 Ko e ʻofa ki he kaungā faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá te ne taʻofi koe mei hoʻo kau ki he tōʻonga hala fakaefehokotaki fakasinó. (Mātiu 22:39) Ko e ʻofa ko iá te ne ueʻi koe ke ke maluʻi ho lotó koeʻuhi ke ʻoua te ne fakataueleʻi koe ke ke kaihaʻasi ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e hoa mali ʻo ha tokotaha kehe. Ko e fai peheé ʻe lava ke taki atu ia ki he angahala ko e tonó. (Palovepi 4:23; Selemaia 4:14; 17:9, 10) Faʻifaʻitaki ki he tangata anga-tonu ko Siopé, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai te ne fakaʻatā ia tonu ke ne tokanga ki ha toe fefine kehe mei hono malí.—Siope 31:1.

Naʻe fakataumuʻa ʻe he ʻOtuá ke hoko ʻa e nofo mali lāngilangiʻiá mo e vā fakafehokotaki fakasinó ko e founga ia ke fakatupu ai ʻa e moʻuí. (Senesi 1:26-28) Manatuʻi ko e ngaahi kupu fakaefehokotaki fakasinó ko e taumuʻá ke fakatupu mai ai ʻa e moʻui, ʻa ia ʻoku toputapu. Ko e kau feʻauakí mo e kau tonó ʻoku nau talangataʻa ki he ʻOtuá, fakameleʻi ʻa e fehokotaki fakasinó, ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapa ki he toputapu ʻo e nofo malí, pea angahala ki honau sino ʻonautolú. (1 Kolinito 6:18) Ka ko e ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá mo e kaungāʻapí fakataha mo e talangofua fakaʻotuá ʻe taʻofi ai ha taha mei haʻane kau ʻi ha tōʻonga ʻa ia ʻe lava ke iku ai ki hano tuʻusi ia mei he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané.

(Mātiu 19:9) Pe ko e husepānití pe ko e uaifí ʻa e tokotaha faihalá, ko ha movete ʻa e nofo malí ʻe lava ke ne fakatupunga ʻa e mamahi lahi ki he hoa tonuhiá, ko e fānaú pea mo e niʻihi kehé. ʻIkai ʻokú ke loto-tatau ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻo e tuʻunga fakatupu maumau ʻa e ʻulungāanga taʻetāú ʻoku totonu ke ne ueʻi kitautolu ke tau talitekeʻi ʻa e fakatauele ke kau ki aí?
