“[Ko] ene eiki . . . te ne fakanofo ia ke ne buleʻi ene mea kotoabe.”—MĀTIU 24:45-47, PM.

“ʻOUA naʻa ui kimoutolu ko e kau takimuʻa: he ʻoku taha homou Takimuʻa, ko Kalaisi.” (Mātiu 23:10) Naʻe fakamahinoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi he ngaahi leá ni ki hono kau muimuí heʻikai ke hoko ha tangata ʻi he māmaní ko honau takimuʻa. Ko honau Takimuʻa pē tahá ʻe fakahēvani ia—ko Sīsū Kalaisi tonu. ʻOku maʻu ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tuʻungá ni ʻi hono fakanofo ʻe he ʻOtuá. Naʻe hanga ʻe Sihova ʻo “fokotuʻu ia mei he pekia, mo ne . . . foaki ia ke ʻulu ki he Siasi ʻi he meʻa kotoa pe; ʻa ia ko hono sino tofu pe ia.”—Efeso 1:20-23.
2 Koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi ʻa e ‘ʻulu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pe’ fekauʻaki mo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané, ʻokú ne ngāueʻi ʻa hono mafaí ʻi he meʻa kotoa ʻoku fakahoko ʻi he loto fakatahaʻangá. ʻOku ʻikai hoko ha meʻa ʻi he loto fakatahaʻangá ʻo puli meiate ia. ʻOkú ne siofi lelei ʻa e tuʻunga fakalaumālie ʻo e kulupu Kalisitiane taki taha, pe fakatahaʻanga. ʻOku hā mahino eni ʻi he meʻa fakahā naʻe ʻoange ki he ʻapositolo ko Sioné ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo e ʻuluaki senituli T.S. Naʻe fakahaaʻi tuʻo nima ai ʻe Sīsū ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻe fitú naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻenau ngaahi ngāué, ko honau ngaahi mālohingá mo e vaivaiʻangá, pea naʻá ne fai ʻa e akonaki mo e fakalototoʻa ʻo fakatatau ki ai. (Fakahā 2:2, 9, 13, 19; 3:1, 8, 15) ʻOku lava moʻoni ke tau tui naʻe maheni pehē pē ʻa Kalaisi mo e tuʻunga fakalaumālie ʻo e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga kehe ʻi ʻĒsia Maina, Pālesitaine, Sīlia, Papilōnia, Kalisi, ʻĪtali mo ha toe feituʻu pē. (Ngāue 1:8) Fēfē ʻa e ʻahó ni?

3. Ko e hā ʻoku feʻunga ai ke fakahoa ʻa Kalaisi ki ha ʻulu pea ko ʻene fakatahaʻangá ki ha sino?
3 Hili ʻene toetuʻú pea ʻi he taimi nounou ki muʻa heʻene hāʻele hake ki heʻene Tamai ʻi hēvaní, naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá: “Kuo tuku kiate au ʻa e pule kotoa pe ʻi langi pea ki mamani.” Naʻá ne toe pehē: “Ko eni, ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu ʻe au ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pe, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo mamani.” (Mātiu 28:18-20) ʻE hokohoko atu ʻene ʻia kinautolu ko honau ʻUlú ʻo tataki longomoʻui kinautolu. ʻI heʻene tohi ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻi ʻEfesō mo Kolosé, naʻe fakatatau ai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ki ha “sino,” ʻa ia ko Kalaisi ʻa e ʻUlú. (Efeso 1:22, 23; Kolose 1:18) ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges ko e lea fakatātā ko ení “ʻoku fakahuʻunga ai ʻoku ʻikai ngata pē ʻene mahuʻinga ke fāitaha mo e ʻUlú, ka ko e loto ʻo e ʻUlú ʻoku fai ia fakafou ʻi hono kau mēmipá. Ko ʻEne meʻangāué kinautolu.” Ko hai ʻa e kulupu kuo ngāueʻaki ʻe Kalaisi ko ʻene meʻangāue talu hono ʻoange kiate ia ʻa e mafai ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻi he 1914?—Taniela 7:13, 14.
4. Hangē ko ia ne tomuʻa tala ʻi he kikite ʻa Malakaí, ko e hā naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sihova mo Kalaisi Sīsū ʻi heʻena hāʻele mai ke sivi ʻa e temipale fakalaumālié?
4 Ko e kikite ʻa Malakaí naʻe tomuʻa tala ai ko Sihova ʻa e “ʻEiki” moʻoní, ʻi he fakafeʻao ki ai ʻa ʻene “Angelo [pe talafekau] ʻo e Kovinanite,” ʻa hono ʻAlo naʻe fakanofo tuʻi foʻoú, ʻa Kalaisi Sīsū, te na hāʻele mai ʻi he fakamaau ke sivi ʻa Hono “temipale,” pe fale fakalaumālie ʻo e lotú. “Ko e kuonga” kotofa ke kamata ai ʻa e ‘fakamāu ʻo e ʻapi ʻo e ʻOtuá’ ʻoku hā mahino naʻe hoko ia ʻi he 1918.a (Malakai 3:1; 1 Pita 4:17) Ko e faʻahinga naʻa nau taukaveʻi ʻoku nau fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá mo ʻene lotu moʻoni ʻi he māmaní naʻe sivisiviʻi fakalelei kinautolu. Ko e ngaahi siasi ʻo e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané, ʻa ia kuo nau akoʻi ʻi he laui senituli ʻa e ngaahi tokāteline taʻefakalāngilangiʻi ʻOtuá pea nau kau lahi ʻi he tāmate tavale ʻo e Tau I ʻa Māmaní, naʻe siʻaki kinautolu. Naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi ha toenga faitōnunga ʻo e kau Kalisitiane pani ʻe he laumālié, ʻo sivi ʻaki ʻa e afi, pea naʻe tali, ʻo nau hoko ai kia Sihova ko e ‘kau ʻatu feilaulau ʻi he maʻoniʻoni.’—Malakai 3:3.
5. ʻI he fehoanaki mo e kikite ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo ʻene “haʻu” pe ʻi aí, ko hai naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ko e “tamaioeiki” anga-tonú?
5 ʻI he fehoanaki mo e kikite ʻa Malakaí, ko e fakaʻilonga fetuiaki naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá ke nau malava ai ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻa e taimi ʻo ʻene “haʻu [pe ʻi aí], bea moe gataaga o mamani” naʻe kau ai ʻa e ʻiloʻi ʻo ha “tamaioeiki” ko ha kulupu. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Kohai ae tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto, kuo fakanofo e he ene eiki ke bule ki hono kaugaabi, mo tufaki kiate kinautolu ae mea kai i hono taimi totonu? Oku monuia ae tamaioeiki koia, oka haʻu a ene eiki, o ilo ia oku ne fai behe. Ko eku tala mooni atu kiate kimoutolu, te ne fakanofo ia ke ne buleʻi ene mea kotoabe.” (Mātiu 24:3, 45-47, PM) ʻI heʻene “haʻu” ʻo sivi ʻa e “tamaioeiki” ʻi he 1918, naʻe ʻiloʻi ai ʻe Kalaisi ha toenga ʻo e kau ākonga faitōnunga pani ʻe he laumālié ʻa ia kuo nau ngāueʻaki ʻa e pepá ni talu mei he 1879 pea mo e ʻū tohi kehe makatuʻunga ʻi he Tohi Tapú ke tokonaki mai ai ʻa e “mea kai [fakalaumālie] i hono taimi totonu.” Naʻá ne tali kinautolu ko ʻene meʻangāue ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kulupu, pe “tamaioeiki,” pea ʻi he 1919 naʻá ne tuku ai kia kinautolu ke nau tokangaʻi ʻene ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he māmaní.

6, 7. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e foʻi lea kehe naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū fekauʻaki mo ʻene “tamaioeiki” anga-tonú? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku fakahuʻunga ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻe Sīsū ʻa e foʻi lea “tauhi”?
6 ʻI ha ngaahi māhina siʻi ki muʻa ke fai ʻe Sīsū ʻene kikite ki he fakaʻilonga ʻo ʻene ʻi aí, ʻo kau ai ʻa e ʻi ai ʻa ha “tamaioeiki” ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ia ʻi he māmaní, naʻá ne leaʻaki ai ʻa e foʻi lea ʻoku kiʻi kehe fekauʻaki mo e “tamaioeiki” ko ení ʻa ia ʻoku fakamaama mai ai ʻa e ngaahi fatongia ʻo e tamaioʻeikí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Kohai ae tauhi agatonu mo boto, e fakanofo e he ene eiki ke bule ki hono kau nofoaga, ke atu ae tufakaga i hono [taimi] totonu? Ko eku tala mooni kiate kimoutolu, Te ne fakanofo ia ke bule ki he ene mea kotoabe.”—Luke 12:42, 44, PM.
7 ʻOku ui heni ʻa e tamaioʻeikí ko ha tauhi, ko ha foʻi lea naʻe liliu mei ha foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ʻoku ʻuhingá “ko e pule ʻo ha fale pe konga kelekele.” Ko e kulupu tauhí ʻe ʻikai ko ha kulupu pē ia ʻo e kau poto ʻoku nau fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi poini mahuʻinga mei he Tohi Tapú. ʻI he tānaki atu ki hono tokonaki mai ʻo e meʻakai fakalaumālie lelei “i hono [taimi] totonu,” ko e “tauhi agatonu” ʻe fakanofo ia ke pule ki he kotoa ʻo e kau nofo kia Kalaisí pea vaheʻi ke ne tokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga kotoa ʻa Kalaisi ʻi he māmaní, “ene mea kotoabe.” Ko e hā ʻoku kau ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ení?
8, 9. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi “mea” ʻoku fakanofo ʻa e tamaioʻeikí ke ne tokangaʻí?
8 Ko e ngaahi fatongia ʻo e tamaioʻeikí ʻoku kau ai ʻa hono tokangaʻi ʻo e ngaahi fale ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe he kau muimui ʻo Kalaisí ke fakahoko ai ʻenau ngaahi ngāue faka-Kalisitiané, hangē ko e ʻuluʻi ʻapitangá mo e ngaahi ʻōfisi vaʻa ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová, pea pehē ki honau ngaahi feituʻu faiʻanga lotú—ʻa e ngaahi Fale Fakatahaʻanga mo e ngaahi Holo ʻAsemipilī—ʻi he kotoa ʻo e māmaní. Ko e meʻa ʻoku toe mahuʻinga angé, ʻoku toe tokangaʻi ʻe he tamaioʻeikí ʻa e ngaahi polokalama fakalaumālie fakatupu langa hake ʻo e ako Tohi Tapu ʻi he ngaahi fakataha ʻoku fai fakauike mo e ngaahi ʻasemipilī mo e ngaahi fakataha-lahi ʻoku fai ʻi he taimi ki he taimi. ʻI he ngaahi fakatahataha ko ení, ʻoku ʻomai ai ʻa e ngaahi fakamatala ʻi hono fakahoko ʻo e ngaahi kikite Fakatohitapú, pea mo e fakahinohino taimi tonu ki he founga ke ngāueʻaki ai ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni Fakatohitapú ʻi he moʻui fakaʻahó.
9 Ko e ngaahi fatongia ʻo e tauhí ʻoku toe kau ai ʻa hono tokangaʻi ʻo e ngāue mahuʻinga taha ko hono malangaʻi ʻa e “ongoongolelei ko eni ʻo e puleʻanga” mo hono ngaohi ʻa e ‘ngāhi kakai kotoa pe ko e kau ākongá.’ ʻOku kau heni ʻa hono akoʻi ʻo e kakaí ke nau fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tuʻutuʻuni mai ʻe Kalaisi ko e ʻUlu ʻo e fakatahaʻangá ke fai lolotonga ʻa e taimi ko eni ʻo e ngataʻangá. (Mātiu 24:14; 28:19, 20; Fakahā 12:17) Ko e ngāue fakamalangá mo e fakafaiakó kuo maʻu ai ha “fuʻu kakai lahi” ko e ngaahi takanga mateaki ʻo e toenga ʻo e kau paní. Ko e ‘ngaahi meʻa manakoa ko eni mei he puleʻanga kotoa peé’ ʻoku nau kau moʻoni ʻi he ngaahi “mea” mahuʻinga ʻa Kalaisi ʻoku tokangaʻi ʻe he tamaioʻeiki anga-tonú.—Fakahā 7:9; Hakeai 2:7, NW.

10. Ko e hā ʻa e kulupu naʻá ne fai ʻa e fili ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí, pea ko e hā hono ola ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻangá?
10 Ko e ngaahi fatongia mamafa ʻo e tamaioʻeiki anga-tonú ʻoku hā mahino ʻe kau ki ai ʻa hono fai ʻo e ngaahi fili lahi. ʻI he muʻaki fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané, ko e kau ʻapositoló mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi Selusalemá naʻa nau ngāue ai ko ha fakafofonga, ʻi hono fai ʻa e ngaahi fili maʻá e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané fakakātoa. (Ngāue 15:1, 2) Ko e ngaahi fili ʻa e kulupu pule ko eni ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí naʻe ʻoatu ia ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻangá fakafou he ngaahi tohi mo e kau fakafofonga fefonongaʻaki. Ko e muʻaki kau Kalisitiané naʻa nau fiefia ʻi hono maʻu ʻa e tataki mahino ko ení, pea ko ʻenau ngāue fāitaha loto-lelei mo e kulupu pulé naʻe pouaki ai ʻa e melino mo e fāʻūtaha.—Ngāue 15:22-31; 16:4, 5; Filipai 2:2.
11. Ko hai ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe Kalaisi he ʻahó ni ke ne tataki ʻa ʻene fakatahaʻangá, pea ʻoku totonu ke fēfē ʻetau vakai ki he kulupu ko eni ʻo e kau Kalisitiane paní?
11 Hangē ko ia ʻi he muʻaki taimi ʻo e Kalisitiané, ʻoku faʻuʻaki ʻa e Kulupu Pule ʻo e kau muimui ʻo Kalaisi ʻi he māmaní he ʻahó ni ha kiʻi kulupu ʻo e kau ʻovasia pani ʻe he laumālié. Fakafou ʻi hono “nima toʻomataʻu” ʻo e mālohi ʻokú ne ngāueʻakí, ʻoku tataki ʻe Kalaisi ko e ʻUlu ʻo e fakatahaʻangá ʻa e kau tangata anga-tonu ko ení ʻi heʻenau tokangaʻi ʻa e ngāue ʻo e Puleʻangá. (Fakahā 1:16, 20) ʻI he talanoa ki heʻene moʻuí, ko Albert Schroeder, ko ha mēmipa fuoloa ʻo e Kulupu Pulé ʻa ia naʻá ne toki lavaʻi ʻa hono ʻalunga ʻi he māmaní, naʻá ne tohi: “ʻOku fakataha ʻa e Kulupu Pulé ʻi he Pulelulu kotoa pē, ʻo kamata ʻa e fakatahá ʻaki ʻa e lotu ʻo kole ʻa e tataki ʻa e laumālie ʻo Sihová. ʻOku fai ha feinga lahi ke fakapapauʻi ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakahoko pea mo e fili kotoa pē ʻoku fai ʻoku fehoanaki ia mo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e Tohi Tapú.”b ʻE lava ke tau falala ki he kau Kalisitiane pani anga-tonu ko iá. ʻI he fekauʻaki tefito mo e Kulupu Pulé, ʻoku totonu ke tau tokanga ki he fekau ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Mou tuitala ki he kau tuʻukimuʻa ʻomoutolu, pea fakavaivai kiate kinautolu; he ko kinautolu ia ʻoku nau ʻā ke leʻohi homou laumalie.”—Hepelu 13:17.

12, 13. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga Fakatohitapu ki hono fakahāhā ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa ki he kalasi tamaioʻeikí?

Naʻe tohi ʻa Paula fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga paní: “Ko e tauʻataina kuo ului ko e popula ia ʻa Kalaisi. Naʻe ai ha totongi naʻe fakatau ʻaki kimoutolu.” (1 Kolinito 7:22, 23; Efeso 6:6) Ko ia ai, ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fakamoʻulaloa mateaki ai ki he tataki ʻa e tamaioʻeiki anga-tonú mo hono Kulupu Pulé, ʻoku tau fakamoʻulaloa ai kia Kalaisi, ko e ʻEiki ʻo e tamaioʻeikí.
