Ko e ngaahi lea ʻoku hā ʻi he Ngāue 16:20, 21 ko e taipe ia ʻo e ngaahi tukuakiʻi peheé: “Ko e ongo siana ni ʻoku na veuveuki lahi [hotau] kolo, . . . pea ʻoku na enginaki ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi anga ʻoku ʻikai ngofua kiate kitautolu ke fanongo ki ai, ʻumaʻā ke fai, he ko e kau Loma.” ʻI ha toe taimi ʻe taha, naʻe feinga ai ʻa e kau fakafepaki fakalotú ke fakalotoʻi ʻa e kau taki ʻo e koló ke nau fai ha meʻa ki he kau muimui ʻo Kalaisí, ʻo pehē: “Ko e kau siana ko ia, ʻa ia kuo nau fakaangatuʻu ʻa māmani, kuo nau haʻu ki heni foki; [pea ʻoku nau] paetaku kotoa pe ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Sisa.” (Ngāue 17:6, 7) Naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá “ko e tangata ʻoku pauʻu pipihi” pea ko ha taki ʻo ha lotu mavahe naʻá ne langaʻi ʻa e fakatupu maveuveu “ʻi māmani kātoa.”—Ngāue 24:2-5.

(1 Pita 2:12) ʻI hono fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he kau Kalisitiané ko e kau tangataʻifonua mo e fefineʻifonua tauhi-lao kinautolu pea ko e kakai ʻulungāanga lelei ʻoku nau fakahāhā ʻa e tokanga moʻoni ki he lelei maʻa honau kaungā faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ʻoku fakahaaʻi leva ai ko e ngaahi tukuakiʻi ʻoku fai kiate kinautolú ʻoku loi. ʻOku lea hotau ʻulungāanga leleí. ʻI hono fakatokangaʻi ʻe he faʻahinga ʻoku sio maí ʻetau kītaki ʻi he ngaahi ngāue leleí, ʻoku faʻa ueʻi ai kinautolu ke nau fakalāngilangiʻi ʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní pea mo fakamālōʻia ʻa e founga moʻui māʻolunga ange ʻa ʻene kau sevānití.—Aisea 60:14; Mātiu 5:14-16.

Ko e founga ʻe taha ko e tangi ki he ngaahi founga-pulé pea mo e ngaahi fakamaauʻangá ki ha maluʻi. (Eseta 8:3; Ngāue 22:25-29; 25:10-12) ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻi māmani ai ʻa Sīsuú, naʻá ne fetakai fakahāhā ai mo hono kau fakaangá, ʻo fakahalaki ʻenau ngaahi tukuakiʻi loí. (Mātiu 12:34-37; 15:1-11) ʻI he faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsuú, ʻoku tau fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e faingamālié ke ʻoatu ai ki he niʻihi kehé ha fakamatala mahino ki heʻetau ngaahi tuipau fakamātoató. (1 Pita 3:15) ʻOfa ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa tau fakaʻatā ʻa e luma ʻi he ʻapiakó, ʻi he ngāueʻangá, pe mei he ngaahi kāinga taʻetuí ke ne taʻofi kitautolu mei hono ʻai ke ʻiloa ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá.—2 Pita 3:3, 4.
Selusalema—“Koe Maka Fakamafajia”
9. Ko e Selusalema fē ʻoku fakatātaaʻi ʻe he “maka fakamafajia” ʻoku lave ki ai ʻi he Sakalaia 12:3, pea ko hai ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ia ʻi he māmaní?

Fakatokangaʻi ʻa e lau ʻa e Sakalaia 12:3 (PM): “I he aho koia teu gaohi a Jelusalema, koe maka fakamafajia ki he kakai kotoabe.” Ko e Selusalema fē ʻoku tuhu ki ai ʻa e kikité ni? Ko e kikite ʻa Sākalaia fekauʻaki mo Selusalemá ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he “Selusalema fakalangi,” ʻa e Puleʻanga fakahēvani ko ia kuo ui ki ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní. (Hepelu 12:22) Ko ha toenga tokosiʻi pē ʻo e kau ʻea ko ʻeni ʻo e Puleʻanga Faka-Mīsaiá ʻoku nau kei ʻi he māmaní. ʻI he kau fakataha mo honau takangá, ʻa e “fanga sipi kehe,” ʻoku nau enginaki ki he kakaí ke nau hanga ki he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá lolotonga ʻoku kei taimí. (Sione 10:16; Fakahā 11:15) Kuo anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá ki he fakaafe ko ʻení? Pea ko e hā ʻa e faʻahinga poupou ʻoku fai ʻe Sihova ki heʻene kau lotu moʻoní he ʻaho ní? Tau kumi angé ki aí ʻi heʻetau toe sivisiviʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e Sakalaia vahe 12. Ko hono fai iá ʻe lava ke tau maʻu ai ʻa e fakapapau ‘ʻe ʻikai siaʻa ha mahafu’ ki he kau pani ʻa e ʻOtuá mo honau kaungāfeohi ʻosi fakatapuí.
10. (a) Ko e hā ʻoku ʻohofi ai ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá? (e) Ko e hā kuo hoko ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau feinga ke toʻo ke mamaʻo atu ʻa e “maka fakamafajia”?

Kuo tuʻutuʻuni mai ʻe he ʻOtuá kuo pau ke malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá. ʻOku tali fakamātoato ʻe he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻa e ngafa ko ia ke malangá. Kae kehe, ko hono fanongonongo atu ko ia ʻo e Puleʻangá ko e ʻamanakiʻanga pē ia ʻe tahá kuo hoko ia “koe maka fakamafajia” ki he ngaahi puleʻangá. ʻOku nau feinga ke toʻo atu ia ke mamaʻo ʻaki hono fakafeʻātungiaʻi ʻa e kau malanga ʻo e Puleʻangá. ʻI he fai peheé, kuo hoko ai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga kaunoá ni ʻo “nau makafokafo ai,” ʻo lavelavea lahi. Naʻa mo honau ngaahi ongoongó kuo uesia ʻi heʻenau tofanga ʻi he taʻelavameʻa fakamaá. ʻOku ʻikai te nau malava ke fakasīlongoʻi ʻa e kau lotu moʻoní, ʻa ē ʻoku nau koloaʻaki ʻa e monū ko hono fanongonongo ʻa e “Kosipeli taʻengata” ʻo e Puleʻanga Faka-Mīsaiá ki muʻa ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu ko ʻeni ʻo e ngaahi meʻá. (Fakahā 14:6) ʻI he sio ki he fakamālohi ʻoku fai ki he kau sevāniti ʻa Sihová, naʻe pehē ai ʻe ha kaʻate pilīsone ʻi ha fonua ʻAfilika ʻe taha: ‘Ko e koto noa pē hoʻomou ngaahi feingá ʻi hono fakatangaʻi ʻo e kakaí ni. Heʻikai ʻaupito haʻanau fakangaloku. ʻOku nau tupulekina ai pē.’
11. Kuo anga-fēfē ʻa e fai ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻene talaʻofa ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he Sakalaia 12:4?
11 Lau ʻa e Sakalaia 12:4. ʻOku talaʻofa mai ʻa Sihova te ne fakakuihi fakaefakatātā pea ʻai ke “loto lelea” ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau faitau fakafepaki ki heʻene kau talafekau loto-toʻa ʻo e Puleʻangá. Kuó ne fai ki heʻene leá.

Kuo fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻa e talaʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki heʻene kau sevāniti mateakí: “Te u fakaʻa hoku mata . . . pea ko e hōsi kotoa ʻa e ngaahi kakai te u taʻi ʻaki ʻa e kui loto.” ʻI hono fakakuihi ʻe he ʻita tōlilí, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ai ʻe he ngaahi fili ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa e tafaʻaki ke nau ʻalu aí. Neongo ia, ʻoku tau tuipau kitautolu ʻe fakahaofi ʻe Sihova ʻene kakaí ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha kulupu pea mo tokanga ki he lelei maʻanautolú.—2 Tuʻi 6:15-19.

Naʻe langaʻi ʻe he meʻá ni ha fakakikihi kakaha ʻi he kotoa ʻo e puleʻanga Siú. (Mātiu 4:17, 25; 10:5-7, 17-20) ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, “ke tatau mo ha tālafu ʻoku ulo ʻi he fefie, ʻio ke tatau mo ha tuhulu ʻoku ulo ʻi ha ʻu koane,” ʻoku tutuʻi ʻe he kau muimui topuvaʻe taha ʻo Sīsuú ha afi ʻi ha founga fakalaumālie. Ko e tohi ʻi he 1917 ko e Finished Mysterya naʻá ne fakaeʻa mālohi ʻa e mālualoi ʻa e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané. Naʻe tupu ai mei heni ha ʻita kakaha mei he haʻa faifekaú. ʻI he ngaahi taimi ki muí ni maí, kuo hanga ai ʻe he Ongoongo ʻo e Puleʻanga Fika 37, “Ko e Ngataʻanga ʻo e Lotu Loí ʻOku Ofi!” ʻo ueʻi ʻa e kakai tokolahi ke nau fakapapauʻi pe te nau kau ki he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá pe fakafepaki ki ai.
