“Te u [Sihova] luluʻi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻe hū mai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa manakoa mei he puleʻanga kotoa pē; pea te u fakafonu ʻa e falé ni ʻaki ʻa e lāngilangi.”​—HAKEAI 2:​7, NW.

 1. ʻI ha taimi ʻo e hoko ha meʻa fakafokifā, ko e hā ʻoku tau ʻuluaki fakakaukau ai ki he faʻahinga ʻoku tau ʻofa aí?

KO E HĀ ʻa e ngaahi meʻa manakoa ʻoku fakafonuʻaki ho falé? ʻOkú ke maʻu ha nāunau fale mahuʻinga, ha komipiuta fakaeonopooni tahá, ha kā foʻou ʻi hoʻo fale kaá?

 2. Ko e hā ʻa e lahi ʻo e fakatupu ʻa Sihová, pea ko e hā ʻa e tafaʻaki ʻo ia naʻe ʻofa lahi taha ki ai ʻa Sīsuú?

² Fakakaukau ange he taimí ni kia Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mo hono ʻAló, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi. Ko Sihova naʻá “Ne ngaohi ʻa e langi, mo e fonua, mo e tahi, mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe ʻoku ʻi ai.” (Ngāue 4:24) Ko hono ʻAló, ʻa e “tufunga lahi,” ʻa e fakafofonga ʻa ia fakafou ʻiate ia naʻe ngaohi ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kehe kotoa pē. (Palovepi 8:​30, 31 [Lea Fakatātā, PM]; Sione 1:3; Kolose 1:​15-​17) Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku fakatou mahuʻingaʻia ʻa Sihova mo Sīsū ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ko ia naʻe fakatupú. (Fakafehoanaki mo Senesi 1:31.) Ka ko fē ʻa e tafaʻaki ʻo e fakatupú ʻokú ke fakakaukau atu ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi taha kiate kinauá​—ko e ʻū meʻá pe ko e kakaí? ʻI he ngafa ko hono fakasino mai ʻo e potó, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Ko ʻeku neka naʻe ʻi he hako ʻo Atama,” pe hangē ko hono fakalea ʻe he liliu ʻa William F. Beck, ko Sīsuú naʻe “fiefia ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.”

 3. Ko e hā ʻa e kikite naʻe folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻo fakafou ʻia Hakeaí?

³ ʻOku ʻikai toe fehuʻia ʻa hono fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa e mahuʻinga lahi ʻi he kakaí. Ko e taha ʻo hono fakahaaʻi ʻo e meʻá ni ʻoku maʻu ia ʻi he ngaahi lea fakaekikite naʻá ne folofolaʻaki ʻi he taʻu 520 K.M. ʻo fakafou ʻi heʻene palōfita ko Hakeaí. Naʻe talaki ai ʻe Sihova: “Te u luluʻi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻe hū mai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa manakoa mei he puleʻanga kotoa pē; pea te u fakafonu ʻa e falé ni ʻaki ʻa e lāngilangi. . . . ʻE lahi ange ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e fale ko ʻeni ki muí ʻi he ʻuluakí.”​—Hakeai 2:​7, 9, NW.

 4, 5. (a) Ko e hā ʻe taʻeʻuhinga ai ke fakaʻosiʻaki ʻo pehē ko e kupuʻi lea “ngaahi meʻa manakoa” ʻoku ʻuhinga ki he fisifisimuʻa fakamatelié? (e) ʻE anga-fēfē hoʻo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e “ngaahi meʻa manakoa,” pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

⁴ Ko e hā ʻa e “ngaahi meʻa manakoa” ʻe fakafonuʻaki ʻa e fale ʻo Sihová pea ʻomai ai ʻa e lāngilangi taʻefakatatauá? Ko ha ngaahi nāunau fale hulu fau mo e ngaahi meʻa teuteu fale lahi? Ko e koula, siliva, mo e ngaahi maka mahuʻinga? ʻE ʻikai ke hā ngali ʻuhinga lelei ʻeni. Manatuʻi, ko e temipale ki muʻá, naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi he meimei senituli ʻe nima ki muʻa atú, ko ha fale lahi molumalu, paʻanga ʻe laui piliona ia!a Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe ʻikai ke ʻamanekina ʻe Sihova ʻe lakasi ʻe he temipale naʻe langa ʻe he kiʻi kau Siu tokosiʻi naʻe toe fokí ʻa e temipale ʻo Solomoné ʻi he fisifisimuʻa fakamatelié!

⁵ Ko ia, ko e hā ʻa e “ngaahi meʻa manakoa” te ne fakafonu ʻa e fale ʻo Sihová? ʻOku hā mahino, kuo pau pē ko e kakaí. He ko hono moʻoní, ko e meʻa ʻokú ne ʻai ʻa e loto ʻo Sihová ke fiefiá ʻoku ʻikai ko e silivá mo e koulá ka ko e kakai ʻoku nau tauhi ia ʻi he ʻofá. (Palovepi 27:11; 1 Kolinito 10:26) ʻIo, ʻoku koloaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e kotoa ʻo e kau tangata, kau fefine, mo e fānau ko ia ʻoku nau lotu fakahōifua kiate iá. (Sione 4:​23, 24) Ko ʻeni ia ʻa e “ngaahi meʻa manakoa,” pea ʻoku nau mahuʻinga mamaʻo ange kia Sihova ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi meʻa teuteu matamatalelei ko ia naʻe teuʻi ʻaki ʻa e temipale ʻo Solomoné.

 6. Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa naʻe ngāue ki ai ʻa e temipale ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he kuonga muʻá?

⁷ Naʻe tomuʻa fakatātaaʻi mai ʻe he temipale ʻi Selusalemá ha fokotuʻutuʻu lahi ange ki he lotú. Ko e temipale fakalaumālie ia ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻi he 29 T.S. fakataha mo Sīsū ko e Taulaʻeiki Lahí. (Hepelu 5:​4-10; 9:​11, 12) Fakakaukau atu ki ha faitatau ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ngaahi fatongia ʻo e taulaʻeiki lahi ʻo ʻIsilelí pea mo e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sīsuú. Ko e taʻu taki taha ʻi he ʻAho ʻo e Fakaleleí, naʻe fakaofi atu ai ʻa e taulaʻeiki lahí ki he ʻōlita ʻi he lotoʻā ʻo e temipalé pea foaki atu ai ha pulu tangata ke fakamolemoleʻiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa e kau taulaʻeikí. Ki mui ai, naʻá ne hū ki he temipalé mo e toto ʻo e pulu tangatá, ʻo ne paasi atu ʻi he ngaahi matapā naʻá ne vaheʻi ʻa e lotoʻaá mei he Potu Tapú pea hū atu leva ki he puipui naʻá ne vaheʻi ʻa e Potu Tapú mei he Potu Toputapú. ʻI heʻene ʻi he loto Potu Toputapú, naʻe afuhi ai ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahí ʻa e totó ki he puha ʻo e fuakavá. ʻI he hili iá, ʻi he muimui ʻi he founga tatau, naʻá ne foaki atu ha kosi ke fakamolemoleʻiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi matakali ʻe 12 ʻikai taulaʻeiki ʻo ʻIsilelí. (Livitiko 16:​5-15) ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e fekauʻaki ʻa e ouaú ni mo e temipale fakalaumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá?

 8. (a) ʻI he ʻuhinga fē naʻe foaki atu ai ʻa Sīsū ʻo kamata ʻi he 29 T.S.? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e vahaʻangatae makehe naʻe fiefia ai ʻa Sīsū mo Sihova ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ʻalunga ʻo ʻene ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi he māmaní?

⁸ Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe foaki atu ʻa Sīsū ʻi he ʻōlita ʻo e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi naʻá ne papitaiso ai pea pani ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he 29 T.S. (Luke 3:​21, 22) Ko e moʻoni, naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e kamataʻanga ʻo ha ʻalunga ʻo e moʻui fakaefeilaulau kia Sīsū ʻa ia naʻe feʻunga mo e taʻu ʻe tolu mo e konga. (Hepelu 10:​5-10) ʻI he lolotonga ʻa e vahaʻa taimi ko iá, naʻe fiefia ai ʻa Sīsū ʻi ha vahaʻangatae fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié mo e ʻOtuá. Ko e tuʻunga makehe ko ʻeni naʻe maʻu ʻe Sīsū mo ʻene Tamai fakahēvaní naʻe ʻikai malava ke makupusi kakato ia ʻe he faʻahinga kehe ʻo e tangatá. Naʻe hangē ia ha puipui naʻá ne taʻofi honau mata ʻo e ʻiloʻiló, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ha puipui naʻá ne ʻufiʻufi ʻa e Potu Tapú mei he vakai ki ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻi he lotoʻā ʻo e tāpanekalé.​—Ekisoto 40:28.

Koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai malava ʻe he kakanó mo e totó ke ne hokosi ʻa e Puleʻanga fakahēvani ʻo e ʻOtuá. (1 Kolinito 15:​44, 50) Koeʻuhi naʻe hoko ʻa e kakano fakaetangata ʻo Sīsuú ko ha fakangatangataʻanga ia, naʻe fakatātaaʻi lelei ia ʻe he puipui naʻá ne vaheʻi ʻa e Potu Tapú mei he Potu Toputapu ʻi he temipale ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he kuonga muʻá. (Hepelu 10:20) Ka ʻi he hili ʻa e ʻaho ʻe tolu mei heʻene pekiá, naʻe fokotuʻu hake ʻa Sīsū ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo hoko ko ha laumālie. (1 Pita 3:18) Naʻá ne malava leva ai ke hū ki he loki ʻo e Potu Toputapu ʻo e temipale fakalaumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá​—ko hēvani tonu. Pea ko e meʻa tofu pē ʻeni naʻe hokó. ʻOku tohi ʻe Paula: “Talaʻehai kuo hu ʻa Kalaisi ki he Potu Toputapu ne ngaohi ʻe he nima, ko e fakatātā pe ʻo e moʻonia, ka ki he langi tonu, ke fakaha ni ia ki he fofonga ʻo e ʻOtua maʻatautolu.”​—Hepelu 9:24.

¹⁰ ʻI hēvani, naʻe hanga ʻe Sīsū ʻo ‘afuhi [ai] ʻa e taʻataʻa’ ʻo ʻene feilaulaú ʻaki hono ʻoatu ʻa e mahuʻinga fakaehuhuʻi ʻo hono taʻataʻa moʻuí kia Sihova. Ka, naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e meʻa lahi ange. Ki muʻa siʻi peá ne pekiá, naʻá ne tala ange ki hono kau muimuí: “Ko ʻeku ʻalu ʻeni ke teuteu ha potu moʻomoutolu.

Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku fakafou ʻi he ngāué ni ʻa hono tohoaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e “ngaahi meʻa manakoa” ki hono falé. (Sione 6:44) ʻOku moʻoni, ʻi he taimi ki he taimi ʻokú ke faʻa kiʻi helaʻia nai ai pe loto-siʻi. ʻI he taimi lahi, ko e niʻihi​—naʻa mo e ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau sevāniti ʻa Sihová​—ʻoku nau fāinga mo e ngaahi ongoʻi ʻo e ʻikai hanau mahuʻingá. Kae ʻoua ʻe foʻi! ʻOku vakai mai ʻa Sihova ki he tokotaha taki taha ʻo ʻene kau lotú ʻoku manakoa, pea ʻokú ne mahuʻingaʻia loto-vēkeveke ke fakamoʻui koe.​—2 Pita 3:9.

19. Ko e hā ʻa e fakalototoʻa naʻe tokonaki mai ʻe Sihova ʻo fakafou mai ʻia Hakeaí, pea ʻoku malava fēfē ke hoko ʻa e ngaahi leá ni ko ha matavai ʻo e mālohi kiate kitautolu?

Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku hangē tofu pē ko ia naʻá ne fakahā fakafou ʻi he palōfita ko Hakeaí: “ʻE lahi ange ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e fale ko ʻeni ki muí ʻi he ʻuluakí . . . Pea ʻi he potú ni te u ʻatu ʻa e melino.” (Hakeai 2:​9, NW) ʻOku moʻoni, ko e lāngilangi lahi taha he ʻaho ní ʻoku maʻu ia ʻi he temipale fakalaumālie ʻo Sihová. He ko ē, ʻoku ʻaukolo ʻa e laui kilu ki he lotu moʻoní ʻi he taʻu taki taha. ʻOku fafangaʻi lelei fakalaumālie ʻa e faʻahingá ni, pea naʻa mo e ʻi he māmani maveuveu ko ʻení, ʻoku nau fiefia ʻi ha melino ʻa ia ʻe toki lakasi pē ʻe he melino ko ia ʻe hokosia ʻi he māmani foʻou ʻa e ʻOtuá.​—Aisea 9:​6, 7 (Isaia 9:​5, 6, PM); Luke 12:42.

²¹ ʻOku tuʻu mai pē mei muʻa ʻa hono luluʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá ʻi ʻĀmaketoné. (Fakahā 16:​14, 16) Ko ia ai, tau ngāueʻaki ʻa e taimi ʻoku kei toé ke tokoni ke fakahaofi ha ngaahi moʻui lahi ange. ʻOfa ke tau hoko ʻo mālohi pea maʻu ʻa e falala kakato kia Sihova. ʻAi ko ʻetau fakapapaú ia ke hokohoko atu ʻa e lotu ʻi hono temipale lahi fakalaumālié, ʻo fakafonu ia ʻaki ʻa e “ngaahi meʻa manakoa” lahi ange kae ʻoua kuo toki folofola mai ʻa Sihova ko ʻetau ngāué kuo kakato.
