“Koe Otua ni ko ho tau Otua o lauikuoga bea taegata: te ne tauhi [pe tataki] akitautolu o aʻu ki he mate.”—SĀME 48:14, PM.
1, 2. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau muimui ki he tataki ʻa Sihová kae ʻikai ke falala ki hotau potó, pea ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻoku malanga haké?
ʻI HE taimi ʻoku tau fakakaukau ai ki he ngaahi muná pe ngaahi meʻa fakatupu maumaú, ʻoku faingofua ai ke tau kākaaʻi pē kitautolu. (Pal. 12:11) Kapau ʻoku tau fiemaʻu moʻoni ke fai ha meʻa ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai taau mo ha Kalisitiané, ʻoku faʻa ʻalu hake ai ʻi hotau lotó ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku fakalotoʻi ai ke fai ʻa e meʻa ko iá. (Sel. 17:5, 9) Ko ia ai, naʻe fakahāhā ʻe he tokotaha-tohi-sāmé ʻa e potó ʻi heʻene lotu kia Sihova: “Ko hoʻo māma mo hoʻo moʻoni, ʻe fekau mai muʻa; ke taki au ʻe kinaua.” (Sāme 43:3) Naʻá ne falala kia Sihova, ʻo ʻikai ki hono poto fakangatangata pē ʻoʻoná, pea ʻoku ʻikai lava ke ne hanga ki ha toe matavai lelei ange ʻo e tatakí. ʻI he hangē ko e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé, ʻoku lelei ke tau hanga ki he ʻOtuá ki ha fakahinohino.
2 Kae kehe, ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau falala ki he tataki ʻa Sihová ʻo māʻolunga ia ʻi ha toe tataki? Ko fē taimi ʻoku totonu ai ke tau kumi ki aí? Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻoku totonu ke tau fakatupulekina koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻaonga ai mei aí, pea ʻoku anga-fēfē hono tataki kitautolu ʻe Sihova he ʻaho ní? Ko e ngaahi fehuʻi mahuʻinga ko ení ʻe lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu hoko maí.
Ko e Hā ke Falala Ai ki he Tataki ʻa Sihová?
3-5. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku tau maʻu ke falala kakato ai ki he tataki ʻa Sihová?
3 Ko Sihova ʻa ʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní. (1 Kol.1Ko 8:6) ʻOkú ne maʻu ha ʻilo fakaʻāuliliki kiate kitautolu taki taha pea ʻoku lava ke ne ʻafioʻi hotau lotó tonu. (1 Sam. 16:7; Pal. 21:2) Naʻe pehē ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita ki he ʻOtuá: “Ko ʻeku nofo hifo mo tuʻu hake ʻoku ke ʻilo, ʻoku ke vavanga ki heʻeku fakakaukau kei mamaʻo. Neongo kuo teʻeki ke aʻu ki hoku ʻelelo ha lea, ʻUe, kuo ke meaʻi, ʻEiki, hono kotoa.” (Sāme 139:2, 4) Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻafioʻi lelei kitautolu ʻe Sihova, ʻe lava fēfē ke tau veiveiua pe ʻokú ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku lelei taha kiate kitautolú? Tuku kehe ia, ko Sihová ʻoku poto fakaʻaufuli. ʻOkú ne mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē, ʻo ne mahinoʻi lahi ange ʻi ha toe taha pē, pea ʻokú ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e ikuʻanga ʻo e ngaahi meʻá talu mei he kamataʻangá. (Ai. 46:9-11; Loma 11:33) Ko iá ko e “ʻOtua ʻoku aʻana toko taha ʻa e poto.”—Loma 16:27.
4 Tānaki atu ki ai, ʻoku ʻofa mai ʻa Sihova kiate kitautolu pea ʻokú ne fiemaʻu maʻu pē ʻa e meʻa ʻoku lelei tahá kiate kitautolu. (Sione 3:16; 1 Sione 4:8) ʻI hono tuʻunga ko ha ʻOtua ʻofá, ʻokú ne nima-homo kiate kitautolu. Naʻe tohi ʻe he ākonga ko Sēmisí: “ʻIlonga ha foaki lelei, pea ʻilonga ha meʻaʻofa haohaoa, ko e ʻalu hifo pe ia mei he Tamai ʻa e ngaahi maama.” (Sem. 1:17) Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fakaʻatā ke tataki kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻoku nau maʻu ʻaonga lahi mei heʻene nima-homó.
5 Fakaʻosí, ko Sihová ʻoku māfimafi-aoniu. ʻI he meʻá ni, naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “Ko ia oku nofo i he botu lilo i he fugani maoluga, e nofo mau ia he malumalu oe Mafimafi. Teu behe, Ko Jihova, ko hoku hufaga ia mo eku kolo: ko hoku Otua; teu falala kiate ia.” (Sāme 91:1, 2, PM) ʻI heʻetau muimui ki he tataki ʻa Sihová, ʻoku tau kumi hūfanga ai ki he ʻOtua heʻikai ke ne taʻelavameʻa. Neongo kapau te tau fetaulaki mo ha fakafepaki, ʻoku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova. Heʻikai te ne fakasivaʻi ʻetau ʻamanakí. (Sāme 71:4, 5; Lau ʻa e Palovepi 3:19-26.) ʻIo, ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e meʻa ʻoku lelei taha kiate kitautolú, fiemaʻu ʻa e meʻa ʻoku lelei taha kiate kitautolú, pea ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e mālohi ke tokonaki mai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku lelei taha kiate kitautolú. He fakavalevale moʻoni ke tau tukunoaʻi ʻa ʻene tatakí! Ko ia ai, ko fē taimi ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ai ʻa e tataki ko iá?
Ko Fē Taimi ʻOku Tau Fiemaʻu Ai ʻa e Tatakí?
6, 7. Ko fē taimi ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ai ʻa e tataki ʻa Sihová?
6 Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ʻa e tataki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻetau moʻuí, mei he talavoú ki he taʻumotuʻá. Naʻe pehē ʻe he tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “Koe Otua ni ko ho tau Otua o lauikuoga bea taegata: te ne tauhi akitautolu o aʻu ki he mate.” (Sāme 48:14, PM) ʻI he hangē ko e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé, ko e kau Kalisitiane potó ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito tuku ʻenau hanga ki he ʻOtuá ki ha tatakí.
7 ʻOku ʻi ai moʻoni ʻa e ngaahi taimi ʻoku tautefito ai ʻetau ongoʻi ʻa e fiemaʻu fakavavevave ʻo ha tokoní. ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku tau hokosia ai ʻa e “mamahi,” ʻi he fetaulaki nai mo e fakatanga, ko ha puke lahi, pe ko ha mole fakafokifā ʻa e ngāué. (Sāme 69:16, 17, PM) ʻI he ngaahi taimi peheé, ʻoku fakafiemālie ke hanga kia Sihova, ʻi he falala te ne fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu ke tau kātaki pea tataki kitautolu ke fai ʻa e ngaahi fili lelei. (Lau ʻa e Sāme 102:17.) Kae kehe, ʻoku tau toe fiemaʻu ʻa ʻene tokoní ʻi he ngaahi taimi kehe. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi heʻetau talanoa mo hotau ngaahi kaungāʻapí fekauʻaki mo e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá, ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ʻa e tataki ʻa Sihová, kapau ʻoku tau loto ke ola lelei ʻetau faifakamoʻoní. Pea ko fē pē taimi ʻoku ʻi ai ai ha fili ke fai—fekauʻaki mo e fakafiefiá, valá mo e teuteú, feohí, ngāué, akó, pe ko ha toe meʻa kehe pē—ʻoku tau fai fakapotopotó pē kapau ʻoku tau muimui ʻi he tataki ʻa Sihová. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ʻa e tatakí ʻi he ngaahi tafaʻaki kotoa pē ʻo ʻetau moʻuí.
Fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e ʻIkai Kumi ki he Tataki ʻa e ʻOtuá
8. Ko e hā naʻe fakahuʻunga ʻi hono kai ʻe ʻIvi ʻa e fuaʻiʻakau naʻe tapuí?
8 Ko ia manatuʻi ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau loto-lelei ke muimui ʻi he tataki ʻa Sihová. Heʻikai fakamālohiʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ke fai pehē kapau ʻoku ʻikai te tau loto ki ai. Ko e ʻuluaki tokotaha ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá naʻá ne fili ke ʻoua ʻe muimui ki he tataki ʻa Sihová ko ʻIvi, pea ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻi heʻene faʻifaʻitakiʻangá ʻa e lava ke hoko ʻo mafatukituki ha fili kovi pehē. Fakakaukau atu foki ki he meʻa naʻe fakahuʻunga ki ai ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne faí. Naʻe kai ʻe ʻIvi ʻa e fuaʻiʻakau naʻe tapuí koeʻuhi naʻá ne loto ‘ke hange ko e ʻOtuá, heʻene ʻilo ʻa e leleí mo e koví.’ (Sen. 3:5) ʻI hono fai iá, naʻá ne ʻai ai ia ʻi he tuʻunga ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻo ne fai ʻene fili pē ʻaʻana fekauʻaki mo e meʻa naʻe lelei mo koví kae ʻikai muimui ʻi he tataki ʻa Sihová. Ko ia ai, naʻá ne sītuʻa ki he tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová. Naʻá ne loto ke pule pē kiate ia. Ko hono husepānití, ʻa ʻĀtama, naʻá ne tuli ki he ʻalunga angatuʻu tatau.—Loma 5:12.
9. Kapau ʻoku tau talitekeʻi ʻa e tataki ʻa Sihová, ko hono moʻoní ko e hā ʻoku tau faí, pea ko e hā ʻoku mātuʻaki taʻefakapotopoto ai iá?
9 ʻI he ʻahó ni, kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke tau muimui ʻi he tataki ʻa Sihová, ʻoku tau taʻemalava tatau ai ke fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa hono tuʻunga-haú. Ko e fakatātaá, fakakaukau ki ha tokotaha ʻokú ne fakatupulekina ʻa e tōʻonga ʻo e sio ʻi he fakatātā fakalieliá. Kapau ʻokú ne feohi mo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané, ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e tataki ʻa Sihova fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ko ení. ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke lave ki he ngaahi meʻa taʻemaʻá, pea pehē ki he sio ʻo fiefia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakalieliá. (Ef. 5:3) ʻI hono talitekeʻi ʻa e tataki ʻa Sihová, ko ha tangata pehē ʻokú ne fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová, ʻo talitekeʻi ʻa Hono tuʻunga-ʻulú. (1 Kol. 11:3) ʻOku mātuʻaki taʻefakapotopoto ia, koeʻuhí hangē ko ia ko e lea ʻa Selemaiá, “ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he tangata ʻoku haʻele ke fakaʻuli ʻene ʻalu.”—Sel. 10:23.
10. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau fakahāhā ha fakakaukau ʻoku ʻi ai ha fatongia ʻi he anga ʻo ʻetau ngāueʻaki ʻa e tauʻatāina ke filí?
10 ʻE fehuʻia nai ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Selemaiá, ʻi he ongoʻi koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻomai ʻe Sihova kiate kitautolu ʻa e tauʻatāina ke filí, ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke ne fakaangaʻi kitautolu ʻi heʻetau ngāueʻaki iá. Kae kehe, ʻoua naʻa ngalo ko e tauʻatāina ke filí ko ha fatongia ia pea ko ha meʻaʻofa foki. ʻOku pau pē ke tau fai ha fakamatala ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau fili ke leaʻaki mo faí. (Loma 14:10) Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Ko e talanoa ʻa e ngutu ʻoku mei he meʻa ʻi he loto ʻoku hulu atu.” Naʻá ne toe pehē: “ʻOku mei he loto ʻa e ngāhi fakakaukau pango, ʻa e ngāhi fakapō, ʻa e ngāhi faikovi ʻa alafia, ʻa e ngāhi feʻauaki. ʻa e ngāhi kaihaʻa, ʻa e ngāhi tukuaki, ʻa e ngāhi laukovi ki he ʻOtua.” (Mt. 12:34; 15:19) Ko ia ai, ko ʻetau leá mo e ngāué ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo hotau lotó. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa hotau tuʻunga moʻoní. Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku kumi ai ha Kalisitiane fakapotopoto ki he tataki ʻa Sihová ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē. ʻI he founga ko iá, ʻoku vakai mai ai ʻa Sihova ‘ʻokú ne loto totonua’ pea te ne “fai lelei” kiate ia.—Sāme 125:4.
11. Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako mei he hisitōlia ʻo ʻIsilelí?
11 Manatuʻi ʻa e hisitōlia ʻo ʻIsilelí. ʻI hono fai ʻe he puleʻanga ko iá ʻa e ngaahi fili lelei, ʻo talangofua ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa Sihová, naʻá Ne maluʻi kinautolu. (Sios. 24:15, 21, 31) Neongo ia, naʻa nau toutou ngāuehalaʻaki ʻenau tauʻatāina ke filí. ʻI he ʻaho ʻo Selemaiá, naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova ʻo fekauʻaki mo kinautolu: “Nae ikai te nau fanogo, be fakatokagaʻi ho nau teliga, ka naa nau aeva i he fakakaukau bea moe mahalo [pe tuʻunga fefeka] a ho nau loto kovi, bea nae ikai te nau fakaaau ki mua kae fakaholomui.” (Sel. 7:24-26, PM) He meʻa fakamamahi ē ko ia! ʻOfa ke ʻoua ʻaupito te tau talitekeʻi ʻa e tataki ʻa Sihová koeʻuhi ko e loto-fefeká pe fakatōliʻa-kitá ʻo ʻaʻeva ʻi he fakakaukau pē ʻatautolu pea hoko ai ʻo ‘ikai fakaaau ki mua kae fakaholomui’!
Ko e Hā ʻOku Fiemaʻú ke Muimui Ai ʻi he Akonaki ʻa e ʻOtuá?
12, 13. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ʻulungāanga ʻokú ne ʻai ke tau loto ke muimui ʻi he tataki ʻa Sihová? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ʻa e tuí?
12 Ko ʻetau ʻofa kia Sihová ʻoku ʻai ai ke tau loto ke muimui ʻi heʻene tatakí. (1 Sione 5:3) Kae kehe, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Paula ha meʻa kehe ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ʻi heʻene pehē: “Ko ʻemau fononga ʻoku fai aki ʻa e tui, ʻo ʻikai ʻaki ʻa e mamata.” (2 Kol.2Ko 5:6, 7) Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ʻa e tuí? Sai, ʻoku tataki kitautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi he “ngaahi hala ʻo e maʻoniʻoni,” ka ko e ngaahi hala ko iá ʻoku ʻikai taki atu ia ki he tuʻumālie pe tuʻunga māʻolunga ʻi he māmani ko ení. (Sāme 23:3) ʻI he ʻuhinga ko iá, ko hotau mata ʻo e tuí ʻoku fiemaʻu ke sio fakamamaʻu ki he ngaahi pale fakalaumālie taʻehanotatau ʻoku hoko mai ʻi he tauhi kia Sihová. (Lau ʻa e 2 Kolinito 4:17, 18.) Pea ʻoku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he tuí ke tau fiemālie pē ʻi he ngaahi tokonaki fakamatelie feʻunga.—1 Tim. 6:8.
13 Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ko e lotu moʻoní ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e feilaulauʻi-kita, ʻa ia ʻoku toe fiemaʻu ki ai ʻa e tuí. (Luke 9:23, 24) Ko e kau lotu faitōnunga ʻe niʻihi kuo nau fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau lahi, kātekina ʻa e masiva, fakafeʻātungia, tomuʻa fehiʻa naʻa mo e fakatanga kakaha. (2 Kol.2Ko 11:23-27; Fkh. 3:8-10) Ko e tui mālohí pē ʻoku fakamafeia ai kinautolu ke nau fai ia ʻi he fiefiá. (Sem. 1:2, 3) Ko e tui mālohí ʻokú ne ʻai kitautolu ke tau falala kakato ko e muimui ki he tataki ʻa Sihová ʻoku lelei maʻu pē. ʻE hoko maʻu pē ko e lelei tuʻuloa ia kiate kitautolu. ʻOku ʻikai moʻoni haʻatau veiveiua ko e pale ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau kātaki mateakí ʻoku lelei mamaʻo ange ia ʻi ha faingataʻaʻia fakataimi pē.—Hep. 11:6.
14. Ko e hā naʻe fiemaʻu ai ke fakahāhā ʻe Hekaʻā ʻa e anga-fakatōkilaló?
14 Fakakaukau foki ki hono fiemaʻu ʻo e anga-fakatōkilaló ʻi he muimui ki he tataki ʻa Sihová. Ko e fakatātā fekauʻaki mo Hekaʻā, ko e sevāniti ʻa Selá, ʻoku fakahāhā ai ʻa e meʻá ni. ʻI he hokohoko atu e paʻa ʻa Selá, naʻá ne foaki ʻa Hekaʻā kia ʻĒpalahame, pea naʻe hoko ai ʻo feitamaʻi ʻe Hekaʻā ha tama kia ʻĒpalahame. Naʻe hoko leva ai ʻo fieʻeiki ʻa Hekaʻā ki hono pule naʻe paʻá. Ko hono olá, naʻe hanga ʻe Sela ʻo “fakavaivaiʻi” ia, pea naʻe hola ai ʻa Hekaʻā. Naʻe fetaulaki ha ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova mo Hekaʻā peá ne tala ange kiate ia: “Foki pe ki hoʻo fineʻeiki, pea fakavaivaiʻi koe kiate ia.” (Sen. 16:2, 6, 8, 9) Mahalo pē ne mei saiʻia ange ʻa Hekaʻā ia ʻi ha tataki kehe. Ke fai ʻo fakatatau ki he tataki ʻa e ʻāngeló, naʻe pau ke ne liʻaki ʻa ʻene fakakaukau ʻulupupulá. Kae kehe, naʻe anga-fakatōkilalo ʻa Hekaʻā ʻo fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe tala ange ʻe he ʻāngeló, pea ko ʻene tamá ʻa ʻIsimeʻeli, naʻe fāʻeleʻi ia ʻi he tuʻunga malu ʻo e nofoʻanga ʻo ʻene tamaí.
15. Fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻe niʻihi ʻa ia ʻe fiemaʻu ai meiate kitautolu ʻa e anga-fakatōkilaló ʻi he muimui ki he tataki ʻa Sihová.
15 Ko e muimui ki he tataki ʻa Sihová ʻe ʻuhinga nai iá kuo pau ke tau fakatōkilalo mo kitautolu foki. ʻE fiemaʻu nai ke tali ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e fakakaukau ko ha faʻahinga fakafiefia ʻoku nau saiʻia ai ʻoku taʻefakahōifua ia kia Sihova. Naʻe fakaʻitaʻi nai ʻe ha Kalisitiane ha taha pea ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ne kole fakamolemole. Pe naʻá ne fai nai ha fehālaaki pea ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ne fakahā ia. Fēfē kapau ʻoku fai ʻe ha taha ha angahala mamafa? ʻOku fiemaʻu ke ne fakatōkilaloʻi ia pea vete ʻene angahalá ki he kau mātuʻá. ʻE aʻu nai ʻo tuʻusi ha tokotaha. Ke toe tali ia ki he fakatahaʻangá, kuo pau ke ne fakatōkilaloʻi ia ʻo fakatomala pea tafoki. ʻI he meʻá ni mo e ngaahi tuʻunga meimei tatau, ko e lea ʻo e Palovepi 29:23 ʻoku fakafiemālie: “Ko e angahiki ʻa e tangata te ne fakatokilalo ia: Ka ko e loto ʻoku angalalo ʻe maʻu fakahikihikiʻi.”
ʻOku Anga-Fēfē Hono Tataki Kitautolu ʻe Sihová?
16, 17. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau maʻu ʻaonga lahi mei he Tohi Tapú ʻi hono tuʻunga ko ha matavai ʻo e tataki fakaʻotuá?
16 Ko e matavai tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻo e tataki fakaʻotuá ko e Tohi Tapú, ʻa e Folofola fakamānavaʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Lau ʻa e 2 Timote 3:16, 17.) Ke maʻu ʻa e ʻaonga lahi taha mei he Folofola ko iá, ʻoku fakapotopoto ke ʻoua te tau tatali ke toki malanga hake ha tuʻunga faingataʻa pea tau toki kumi ki he ngaahi lea ʻe tokoni lahi ʻi he Tohi Tapú. Ka te tau ʻai ko ha tōʻonga fakaʻaho ʻa hono lau ʻa e Tohi Tapú. (Sāme 1:1-3) ʻI he founga ko iá, ʻoku hoko ai ʻo tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e folofola fakamānavaʻí. ʻOku hoko ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa e ʻOtuá ko ʻetau fakakaukaú ia, pea ʻoku tau mateuteu ke fehangahangai naʻa mo e ngaahi palopalema taʻeʻamanekiná.
17 Tānaki atu ki ai, ʻoku mahuʻinga ke tau fakalaulauloto ki he meʻa ʻoku tau lau ʻi he Tohi Tapú pea lotu ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau fakalaulauloto ai ki he ngaahi veesi ʻi he Tohi Tapú, ʻoku tau fakakaukau ai ki he founga ʻe ngāueʻaki nai ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga pau. (1 Tim. 4:15) ʻI heʻetau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi palopalema mafatukitukí, ʻoku tau lotu kia Sihova, ʻo kole ki ha tokoni ke maʻu ʻa e tataki ʻoku tau fiemaʻú. ʻE tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he laumālie ʻo Sihová ke tau manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni Fakatohitapu ʻaonga kuo tau lau ʻi he Tohi Tapú tonu pe ʻi he ʻū tohi makatuʻunga ʻi he Tohi Tapú.—Lau ʻa e Sāme 25:4, 5.
18. ʻI he ngaahi founga fē ʻoku ngāueʻaki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e fetokouaʻaki faka-Kalisitiané ke ne tataki kitautolú?
18 Ko ʻetau fetokouaʻaki faka-Kalisitiané ko ha toe koloa mahuʻinga ia ʻi he kumi ki he tataki ʻa Sihová. Ko ha konga mahuʻinga ʻo e fetokouaʻakí ʻa e “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto” mo hono fakafofonga ko e Kulupu Pulé, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻomai mei ai ha tokonaki tuʻumaʻu ʻo e meʻakai fakalaumālié ʻi he faʻunga ʻo e ngaahi fakamatala kuo pulusi mo e ngaahi polokalama ki he ngaahi fakataha mo e ngaahi ʻasemipilī. (Mt. 24:45-47, PM; fakafehoanaki mo e Ngāue 15:6, 22-31.) Tānaki atu ki ai, ʻoku ʻi he fetokouaʻaki faka-Kalisitiané ʻa e faʻahinga tāutaha matuʻotuʻa, tautefito ki he kau mātuʻa ʻa ia ʻoku nau taau ke fai ha tokoni fakafoʻituitui mo e faleʻi Fakatohitapu. (Ai. 32:1) Ko e fānau ʻi he ngaahi fāmili Kalisitiané ʻoku nau maʻu ha toe koloa mahuʻinga. Ko ʻenau ongo mātuʻa tuí ko ha tuʻunga mafai ia kuo fakanofo ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ia ʻoku fakalototoʻaʻi maʻu pē kinautolu ke nau hanga ki ai ki he tatakí.—Ef. 6:1-3.
19. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku tau maʻu koeʻuhi ko ʻetau kumi hokohoko ki he tataki ʻa Sihová?
19 ʻIo, ʻoku ʻomai ʻe Sihova ʻi he ngaahi founga lahi ʻa e tataki, pea ʻoku lelei ke tau ngāue ʻaonga kakato ʻaki ia. ʻI heʻene lea fekauʻaki mo ha taimi naʻe faitōnunga ai ʻa ʻIsilelí, naʻe pehē ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita: “Naʻe falala ʻemau ngaahi tamai kiate koe: Naʻa nau falala, pea naʻa ke fakamoʻui pe. Ko koe naʻe fai ki ai ʻenau kalanga, pea nau ʻatā: Ko koe naʻe fai ki ai ʻenau falala, pea naʻe ʻikai te nau ma.” (Sāme 22:3-5) Kapau ʻoku tau falala ʻo muimui ki he tataki ʻa Sihová, ko kitautolu foki ʻe ‘ʻikai te tau ma.’ Heʻikai siva ʻetau ʻamanakí. Kapau ʻoku tau ‘tekaki kia Sihova hotau ʻalungá,’ ʻo ʻikai falala ki hotau potó, ko e olá ko e ngaahi tāpuaki lahi ʻi he taimí ni. (Sāme 37:5) Pea kapau ʻoku tau kītaki mateaki ʻi he ʻalunga ko iá, ko e ngaahi tāpuaki ko iá ʻe taʻengata. Naʻe tohi ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita: “Ko Sihová ko ha tokotaha ʻofa ki he fakamaau totonú, pea heʻikai te ne liʻaki ʻa ʻene kau mateakí. ʻE maluʻi moʻoni kinautolu ʻo taʻengata . . . ko e māʻoniʻoní te nau maʻu ʻa e māmaní, pea te nau nofo ai ʻo taʻengata.”—Sāme 37:28, 29, NW.
