ʻOku Tau Maʻu ʻa e ʻUhinga ke Tau Kalanga Loto-Fiefia Ai
“Te nau aʻusia ʻa e fiefia mo e nekeneka, pea ko e mamahi mo e mapuhoi ʻoku moulu atu.”—ʻAISEA 35:10.
1. Ko hai he ʻahó ni kuó ne maʻu ʻa e ʻuhinga makehe ke loto-fiefiá?
KUÓ KE fakatokangaʻi nai ko e kakai tokosiʻi pē ʻi he ngaahi ʻahó ni ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e loto-fiefia moʻoní. Ka, ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní, ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ia ʻa e loto-fiefia. Pea ko e ʻamanaki ki hono maʻu ʻa e loto-fiefia tatau ko iá ʻoku ala maʻu ia ʻe he toe laui miliona kehe ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku teʻeki ke papitaiso, ko e kau taʻusiʻi mo e kau taʻumotuʻa, ʻoku nau feohi mo e Kau Fakamoʻoní.

2. ʻOku fēfē ʻa e kehekehe ʻa e loto-fiefia ʻa e Kalisitiané mei he tuʻunga angamaheni ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e tokolahi taha ʻo e kakaí?

Pea mahalo ʻokú ke loto ke maʻu ha meʻa lahi ange ʻo fekauʻaki mo e moʻui leleí mo e longomoʻuí. Ka neongo ia, ʻoku lava ke tau lea tauʻatāina ʻo pehē ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e loto-fiefiá, ʻokú ke tuʻumālie ange mo moʻui lelei ange koe ʻi he tokolahi taha ʻo e laui piliona ʻo e māmaní. ʻO anga-fēfē?
3. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi lea mohu ʻuhinga ʻoku taau ke tau tokanga ki aí, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
3 Manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú: “Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni kuo u tala atu, koeʻuhi ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻeku fiefia, pea ke kakato ʻa e fiefia ʻamoutolu.” (Sione 15:11) “Ke kakato ʻa e fiefia ʻamoutolu.” Ko ha fakamatala lelei lahi ē! Ko hano ako loloto ʻo e founga moʻui ʻa e Kalisitiané te ne fakahaaʻi mai ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga lahi ki he kakato ʻetau loto-fiefiá. Ka ʻi he taimí ni, fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea mohu ʻuhinga ʻi he ʻAisea 35:10. ʻOku mohu ʻuhingá koeʻuhi he ʻoku kaunga lahi ʻaupito ia kiate kitautolu he ʻaho ní. ʻOku tau lau: “Ko e kau veteange ʻa Sihova te nau foki, ʻo haʻu ki Saione mo e mavava; pea ko e fiefia taʻengata [“lauikuonga,” NW] ko e pale ʻi honau ʻulu: te nau aʻusia ʻa e fiefia mo e nekeneka, pea ko e mamahi mo e mapuhoi ʻoku moulu atu.”
4. Ko e hā ʻa e faʻahinga loto-fiefia ʻoku lave ki ai ʻia ʻAisea 35:10, pea ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau tokanga ki he meʻá ni?
4 “Ko e fiefia lauikuonga.” Ko e foʻi lea “lauikuonga” ko hono fakalea totonu ia ʻo e meʻa naʻe tohi ʻe ʻAisea ʻi he lea faka-Hepeluú. Ka, hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻomai ʻi he ngaahi konga Tohitapu kehé, ko e ʻuhinga ʻoku ʻi he veesí ni ko e “taʻengata.” (Sāme 45:6; 90:2; ʻAisea 40:28) Ko ia ko e loto-fiefiá ʻe ʻikai ke ngata, ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga te ne fakaʻatā—ʻio, fakatonua—ʻa e fiefia taʻengatá. ʻIkai ʻoku ongo fakaʻofoʻofa ia? Ka, mahalo ʻoku ongo kiate koe ʻa e veesi ko iá ʻo hangē ha lau pē ki ha tuʻunga ʻo e fakakaukaú, ʻo fakatupunga ai koe ke ke fakakaukau: ‘ʻOku ʻikai ke kaunga moʻoni lahi ia kiate au ʻo hangē ko e meʻa ʻoku fai ʻe heʻeku ngaahi palopalema fakaʻahó mo ʻeku ngaahi loto-moʻuá.’ Ka ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ia ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá ʻe he ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻá. Ko e talaʻofa fakaekikite ʻia ʻAisea 35:10 kuo ʻi ai ʻene ʻuhinga kiate koe he ʻahó ni. Ke ʻilo pe ʻoku fēfē ia, tau sivisiviʻi ange ʻa e foʻi vahe fakaʻofoʻofá ni, ʻa e ʻAisea 35, ʻo fakatokangaʻi ʻa e konga taki taha ʻi hono potutohí. Ke ke loto-papau te ke fiefia ʻi he meʻa te tau ʻilo aí.

5 Ke hoko ko ha tokoni, tau vakai ange ki he ngaahi meʻa fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni, ki he tuʻunga fakahisitōlia ʻo e kikite fakamānakó ni. Naʻe tohi ia ʻe he palōfita Hepelū ko ʻAiseá ʻo ofi nai ki he 732 K.M. Ko e ngaahi hongofuluʻi taʻu ia ki muʻa pea toki haʻu ʻa e kau tau Pāpiloné ʻo fakaʻauha ʻa Selusalemá. Hangē ko ia ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he ʻAisea 34:1, 2, naʻe tala ki muʻa ʻe he ʻOtuá te ne fai ʻa e sāuni ki he ngaahi puleʻangá, ʻo hangē ko ʻĪtomí, naʻe lave ki ai ʻi he ʻAisea 34:6. ʻOku hā mahino naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e kau Pāpilone ʻo e kuonga muʻá ke nau fai ʻa e meʻa ko iá. ʻI he founga meimei tatau, naʻe ʻai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e kau Pāpiloné ke nau fakaʻauha ʻa Siuta koeʻuhi naʻe taʻeangatonu ʻa e kau Siú. Ko e nunuʻá? Naʻe taki pōpula ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea fakamaomaonganoa honau fonuá he taʻu ʻe 70.—2 Kalonikali 36:15-21.
6. Ko e hā ʻa e faikehekehe ʻoku ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e meʻa naʻe hoko ki he kau ʻĪtomí mo e meʻa naʻe hoko ki he kau Siú?
6 Kae kehe, ʻoku ʻi ai ha faikehekehe lahi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e kau ʻĪtomí mo e kau Siú. Naʻe ʻikai ha ngataʻanga ʻo e tautea fakaʻotua ʻo e kau ʻĪtomí; ʻi he faai atu ʻa e taimí naʻe mole atu ʻa e kakaí ni. ʻIo, ʻoku lava ke ke ʻaʻahi ki he feituʻu lala mo ʻauha naʻe nofo ai ʻa e kau ʻĪtomí, ʻo hangē ko e toenga ʻoku ʻiloa ʻi māmani ko Petra. Ka ʻi he ʻahó ni, ʻoku ʻikai ha puleʻanga pe ko ha kakai ʻoku lava ke fakapapauʻi ‘ko e kau ʻĪtomi.’ ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ko e fakaʻauha ʻe Pāpilone ʻa Siutá ʻe lauikuonga, ʻo hoko ai ʻa e fonuá ʻo taʻefiefia ai pē ʻo taʻengata?
7. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e kau Siu naʻe nofo pōpula ʻi Pāpiloné ki he ʻAisea vahe 35?
7 Ko e kikite fakaofo ko ʻeni ʻi he ʻAisea vahe 35 kuo ʻi ai ʻa hono mahuʻinga fakatupu fiefia. ʻOku lava ke ui ia ko ha kikite ʻo e toe fakafokí, he naʻe ʻuluaki fakahoko ia ʻi he taimi naʻe toe foki ai ʻa e kau Siú ki honau fonuá ʻi he 537 K.M. Ko e kau ʻIsileli naʻe nofo pōpula ʻi Pāpiloné naʻe ʻoange ki ai ʻa e tauʻatāina ke nau toe foki ki honau fonuá. (ʻĒsela 1:1-11) Ka, ʻi he teʻeki ke hoko iá, ko e kau Siu ko ia naʻe nofo pōpula ʻi Pāpiloné ʻa ia naʻa nau fakakaukau atu ki he kikite fakaʻotuá ni naʻa nau fifili nai pe ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi faʻahinga tuʻunga te nau mamata ai ʻi honau fonuá, ʻa Siuta. Pea ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga te nau ʻi aí? ʻOku kaunga tefito pē ʻa e talí ki he ʻuhinga ʻoku tau maʻu moʻoni ai ʻa e ʻuhinga ke tau kalanga loto-fiefiá. Tau vakai angé.
8. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga naʻe fakatuʻotuʻa ki ai ʻa e kau Siú ʻi heʻenau foki mei Pāpiloné? (Fakafehoanaki mo ʻIsikeli 19:3-6; Hōsea 13:8.)
8 ʻOku pau naʻe ʻikai ke hā ngali ko ha talaʻofa ʻa e tuʻungá ni ki he kau Siú ʻo aʻu pē ki he taimi naʻa nau fanongo ai ʻe lava ke nau toe foki ki honau fonuá. Ko honau fonuá naʻe maomaonganoa ʻi he ngaahi hongofuluʻi taʻu ʻe fitu, ko ha foʻi taimi moʻui kakato ia. Ko e hā naʻe hoko ki he fonuá? ʻIlonga ha ngaahi ngoue, ngaahi ngoue vaine, pe ngaahi ʻakau fua kuo hoko ia ko e toafa. Ko e fanga kiʻi ngoue pe ngaahi konga fonua lahi naʻe fakatafe ki ai ʻa e vaí kuo hoko ia ko ha konga fonua maumau mo mōmoa pe toafa. (ʻAisea 24:1, 4; 33:9; ʻIsikeli 6:14) Toe fakakaukau ange, ki he fanga manu fekai tokolahi fau ʻe ʻi ai. ʻE kau heni ʻa e fanga manu kai kanomate, ʻo hangē ko e fanga laioné mo e fanga lēpatí. (1 Tuʻi 13:24-28; 2 Tuʻi 17:25, 26; Hiva ʻo e Hiva 4:8) Naʻe ʻikai malava ke ngalo ʻiate kinautolu ʻa e fanga peá, ʻa ia ʻoku malava ke ne tāmateʻi ha tangata, fefine, pe ko ha tama. (1 Sāmiuela 17:34-37; 2 Tuʻi 2:24; Palōvepi 17:12) Pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau toe hela lave kitautolu ki he fanga ngata fekai mo e fanga ngata huhu kona kehe, pe ko e fanga sikopió. (Sēnesi 49:17; Teutalōnome 32:33; Siope 20:16; Sāme 58:4; 140:3; Luke 10:19) Kapau naʻá ke kau fakataha mo e kau Siú ʻi he foki mei Pāpilone ʻi he 537 K.M., mahalo te ke toumoua ke luelue holo ʻi ha feituʻu pehē. Naʻe ʻikai ko ha palataisi ia ʻi he taimi naʻa nau aʻu ai ki aí.
9. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻe makatuʻunga ai ʻa e ʻamanaki mo e loto-maʻu ʻa e faʻahinga naʻe fokí?
9 Ka, naʻe taki ʻe Sihova tonu ʻa ʻene kau lotú ki honau fonuá, pea kuó ne maʻu ʻa e mafai ke liliu ha tuʻunga maomaonganoa. ʻIkai ʻokú ke tui ʻoku malava ia ʻe he Tokotaha-Fakatupú? (Siope 42:2; Selemaia 32:17, 21, 27, 37, 41) Ko ia ko e hā te ne faí—ko e hā naʻá ne faí—maʻá e kau Siu naʻe toe fokí pea pehē ki honau fonuá? Ko e hā ʻa e kaunga ʻa e meʻá ni ki he kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi taimi ʻi onopooní pea ʻi he tuʻunga ʻokú ke ʻi aí—ʻi he lolotongá ni mo e kahaʻú? Tau ʻuluaki sio pe ko e hā naʻe hoko ʻi he taimi ko iá.

10. Ko e hā ʻa e liliu naʻe tala ki muʻa ʻi he ʻAisea 35:1, 2?
10 Ko e hā naʻe hoko ʻi hono fakaʻatā ʻe Kōlesi ʻa e kau Siú ke nau toe foki ki he fonua matamatakovi ko iá? Lau ʻa e kikite fakatupu-fiefia ʻia ʻAisea 35:1, 2: “ʻE fiefia ʻa e lala mo e fonua mamate; pea ʻe tomeʻe ʻa e Alapa, ʻo fisi hange ko e lose. Te ne matuʻaki fisi mo tomeʻe, ʻio, tomeʻe mo mavava; ʻe ʻange ki ai ʻa e langilangi ʻo Lepanoni, ʻa e teunga ʻo Kameli mo Saloni: ko e faʻahinga ko ia te nau mamata ki he langilangi ʻo Sihova, ko e teungaʻia ʻo hotau ʻOtua.”
11. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e fonuá naʻe ʻomai ʻe ʻAiseá?
11 ʻI he ngaahi taimi ʻo e Tohitapú, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ai ʻa Lepanoni, Kāmeli, mo Sāloni ʻi heʻenau mātuʻaki maʻuiʻui mo fakaʻofoʻofá. (1 Kalonikali 5:16; 27:29; 2 Kalonikali 26:10; Hiva ʻo e Hiva 2:1; 4:15; Hōsea 14:5-7) Naʻe ʻomai ʻe ʻAisea ʻa e ngaahi fakatātā ko iá ke fakamatalaʻiʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻe faitatau mo e fonua naʻe fai hono liliú, ʻi he tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ka naʻe hoko pē ʻa e meʻá ni ke lelei ai ʻa e kelekelé? ʻIkai ʻaupito!
12. Ko e hā ʻoku lava ai ke tau pehē ko e kikite ʻi he ʻAisea vahe 35 ʻoku fakatefito ki he kakai?
12 ʻOku lea ʻa e ʻAisea 35:1 (35:2, PM) ʻo kau ki he fonuá ʻoku “tomeʻe, ʻio, tomeʻe mo mavava.” ʻOku tau ʻilo ko e kelekelé mo e ʻakaú naʻe ʻikai te na “tomeʻe mo mavava” moʻoni. Ka, ko hona liliu ke na hoko ʻo moʻui mo fakatupu fua maí naʻe malava ke fakatupunga ai ʻa e kakaí ke nau ongoʻi pehē. (Livitikō 23:37-40; Teutalōnome 16:15; Sāme 126:5, 6; ʻAisea 16:10; Selemaia 25:30; 48:33) Ko e ngaahi liliu naʻe hoko moʻoni ʻi he fonuá tonu ʻe fehoanakimālie ia mo e ngaahi liliu ʻi he kakaí, he ko e kakaí ʻoku fakahanga ki ai ʻa e kikité ni. Ko ia ai, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e ʻuhinga ke mahino ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻAiseá ʻi hono fakahanga tefito ki he liliu ʻi he kau Siu naʻa nau fokí, tautefito ki heʻenau loto-fiefiá.
13, 14. Ko e hā ʻa e liliu ʻi he kakaí naʻe tala ki muʻa ʻi he ʻAisea 35:3, 4?
13 Ko ia ai, tau sivisiviʻi lahi ange ʻa e kikite fakaueʻiloto ko ʻení ke tau sio pe naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahoko ia ʻi he hili ʻa e tauʻatāina ʻa e kau Siú pea toe foki mei Pāpiloné. ʻI he veesi 3 mo e 4, ʻoku lea ai ʻa ʻAisea ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi liliu kehe ʻi he kau fokí: “Poupou ʻa e ngaahi nima ʻoku vaivai, pea pukepuke ʻa e ngaahi tui ʻoku tete; lea ki he kakai ʻoku tateme honau loto, Mou fakamaʻu hifo, ʻoua ʻe manavahe: vakai, ko homou ʻOtua ena ʻoku haʻu ko e sauni, ʻoku ne haʻu mo e totongi faka-ʻotua; ʻe haʻu ʻe ia, ʻo fakamoʻui kimoutolu.”
14 ʻIkai ʻoku fakatupuongoʻimālohi ke fakakaukau atu ko hotau ʻOtuá, ʻa ia naʻá ne malava ke liliu ʻa e tuʻunga maomaonganoa ʻo e kelekelé, ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻingaʻia ʻi heʻene kau lotú? Naʻe ʻikai te ne loto ke hoko ʻene kau Siu naʻe nofo pōpulá ʻo ongoʻi vaivai, loto-siʻi, pe loto-moʻua ʻo kau ki he kahaʻú. (Hepelū 12:12) Fakakaukau atu ki he tuʻunga ʻo e kau Siu ko ia naʻe nofo pōpulá. Tuku kehe ʻa e ʻamanaki naʻe malava ke nau maʻu mei he ngaahi kikite ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo kau ki honau kahaʻú, naʻe faingataʻa kiate kinautolu ke maʻu ha ʻamanaki lelei. Naʻe hangē naʻa nau ʻi ha pilīsone fakapoʻuli ʻi lolofonuá, ʻo ʻikai tauʻatāina ke ngaue holo mo longomoʻui ʻi hono tauhi ʻa Sihová. Naʻe hangē naʻe hā kiate kinautolu ʻo ngali naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha maama ia ʻoku ʻi muʻa ʻiate kinautolu.—Fakafehoanaki mo Teutalōnome 28:29; ʻAisea 59:10.
15, 16. (a) Ko e hā ʻoku lava ke tau fakaʻosiʻaki ko e meʻa ia naʻe fai ʻe Sihova maʻá e kau fokí? (e) Ko e hā heʻikai ke ʻamanekina ai ʻe he kau fokí ha ngaahi fakamoʻui fakaemana fakaesinó, ka ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo fehoanaki mo e ʻAisea 35:5, 6?
15 Neongo ia, ko ha liliu lahi ē, ʻi hono ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻa Kōlesi ke ne tukuange kinautolu ke nau toe foki ki honau fonuá! ʻOku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha fakamoʻoni faka-Tohitapu ia ke pehē naʻe fakaʻā fakaemana ʻe he ʻOtuá ha mata pē naʻe kui ʻi he kau Siu naʻe toe fokí, fakaava ʻa e telinga ʻo ha taha pē naʻe tuli, pe fakamoʻui ha heke pe ketu. Kae kehe, naʻá ne fai moʻoni ha meʻa naʻe mātuʻaki māʻongoʻonga ange ia. Naʻá ne toe fakafoki kinautolu ki he maama mo e tauʻatāina ʻo honau fonua ʻofeiná.
16 ʻOku ʻikai ha fakahā ia ʻo pehē naʻe ʻamanekina ʻe he faʻahinga naʻe fokí ʻe fakahoko ʻe Sihova ha ngaahi fakamoʻui fakaemana fakaesino pehē. Kuo pau pē naʻa nau ʻilo naʻe teʻeki ke fai pehē ʻa e ʻOtuá ia kia ʻAisake, Samisoni, pe ko ʻĪlai. (Sēnesi 27:1; Fakamaau 16:21, 26-30; 1 Sāmiuela 3:2-8; 4:15) Ka ʻo kapau naʻa nau ʻamanekina ha liliu fakaʻotua ʻo honau tuʻungá ʻi he tuʻunga fakaefakatātā, naʻe ʻikai te nau loto-mamahi. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻi ha ʻuhinga fakaefakatātā, naʻe fakahoko moʻoni ʻa e ʻAis 35 veesi 5 mo e 6. Naʻe tala totonu ki muʻa ʻe ʻAisea: “ʻE toki fakaava ʻa e mata ʻo e kui, pea toʻo ʻa e telinga ʻo e tuli. Toki hopo ʻa e heke hange ha tia, pea hiki mavava ʻa e ʻelelo ʻo e noa.”
Ko Hono ʻAi ʻa e Fonuá ke Hangē ha Palataisí
17. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi liliu fakaesino ʻoku hā mahino naʻe fakahoko mai ʻe Sihová?
17 Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe ʻosi maʻu ʻe he kau fokí ʻa e ʻuhinga ke nau hiki mavava ai ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga hangē ko ia naʻe hoko atu ki ai ʻa ʻAisea ke fakamatalaʻí: “Pea ʻe hoko ʻa e vakaloa ko e vai moʻoni, pea ko e fonua pakukā ko e ngaahi vai mapunopuna: ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻo e fanga siakali ʻi honau tokotoʻangā ʻoku ai ha pitenga ʻo e kaho mo e pepailo.” (ʻAisea 35:6e, 7) Neongo ʻoku ʻikai lava ke tau mātā ʻa e feituʻu fakakātoa ko iá he ʻahó ni, ʻoku pehē ʻe he fakamoʻoní ko e feituʻu ko ia naʻe hoko ko Siutá naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e taimi naʻe hoko ai “ko ha palataisi mahu.”a
18. ʻOku hangehangē naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e kau Siu naʻe toe fokí ki he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻa e ʻOtuá?
18 ʻI he tuʻunga ko e tupuʻanga ia ʻo e loto-fiefiá, fakakaukau atu ki he anga ʻo e ongoʻi ʻa e toenga ʻo e kau Siú ʻi he taimi naʻe toe fakafoki ai kinautolu ki he Fonua ʻo e Talaʻofá!

20. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻe fiemaʻu ke ʻoua ʻe ilifia ki ai ʻa e kau Siú ʻi heʻenau toe fokí, ʻo iku ai ki he hā?
20 Naʻe ʻikai fiemaʻu ke ilifia ʻa e kau Siu naʻe toe fokí ki ha ʻohofi ʻe fai mei he kau tangata angafakamanú pe ko ha fuʻu kau kaihaʻa. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
