3. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e fakafeangai ʻa e Tokotaha-Pule Aoniú ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻokú ne pule ki aí?
3 ʻOku taʻemafakatotoloa ʻa e lahi mo e māʻolunga ʻo Sihová, ka “oku lele fetoutou mo liliuaki ae fofoga o Jihova i mamani kotoabe, ke fakaha malohi a ene afio ke kau mo kinautolu oku tokaga totonu ho nau loto kiate ia.” (2 Kalonikali 16:9, PM) Pea ko e hā ʻoku fai ʻe Sihova ʻi he taimi ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ai ʻa e kau lotu lāuvale ko ia ʻoku lōmekina ʻi he laumālié ko e tupu mei he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kehekehé? ʻI ha ʻuhinga, ʻokú ne ‘ʻafio’ mo e faʻahinga peheé fakafou ʻi hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní “ke fakamanavahake ʻa e laumalie ʻo e angamalū, pea ke fakamanavahake ʻa e loto ʻo e kau mafesi.” (Aisea 57:15) Ko ia ʻoku malava lelei ange ai ʻa ʻene kau lotu kuo fakamānava haké ke nau toe tauhi kiate ia ʻi he fiefia. He anga-fakatōkilalo ē ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻa e ʻOtuá!
4, 5. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e ongoʻi ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé ʻo fekauʻaki mo e founga ʻo e pule ʻa e ʻOtuá? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa e “afeitaulalo” ʻa e ʻOtuá ke tokoniʻi “ʻa e lauvale”?

Naʻe malava ʻe he tokotaha-tohi-sāmé ke ne tohi: “ʻOku maʻolunga ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻoku maʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi langi ʻa hono kololia. Ko hai ʻoku tatau mo Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua? ʻA ia ʻoku ne ʻai mei ʻolunga hono ʻafioʻanga,ʻa ia ʻoku ne afeitaulalo ke vakai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻa langi mo mamani. ʻOku ne fokotuʻu mei he efu ʻa e lauvale; ʻoku ne hiki siʻi masiva mei he tuʻungaveve.”—Sāme 113:4-7.

Ko ia ai, ʻoku fakalea ʻe he ngaahi Tohi Tapu ʻe niʻihi ʻa e Sāme 113:6 ʻo pehē ʻoku fakatōkilaloʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ia tonu.

6 Ko e ngāue lahi taha ʻo e anga-fakatōkilalo mo e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ko hono ʻohifo hono ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga ʻuluaki-fakatupú ke ʻaloʻi ʻi he māmaní pea tauhi hake ko ha tangata ki hono fakamoʻui ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. (Sione 3:16) Naʻe akoʻi mai ʻe Sīsū kiate kitautolu ʻa e moʻoni fekauʻaki mo ʻene Tamai fakahēvaní peá ne toki foaki leva ʻene moʻui fakaetangata haohaoá ke ne ʻave “ʻa e angahala ʻa māmani.” (Sione 1:29; 18:37) ʻI hono tapua haohaoa mai ʻa ʻene Tamaí, ʻo kau ai ʻa e anga-fakatōkilalo ʻa Sihová, naʻe loto-lelei ai ʻa Sīsū ke fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe kole ange ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate iá. Ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lahi taha ia ʻo e anga-fakatōkilalo mo e ʻofa kuo faifai ange pea fokotuʻu ʻe he taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻamoʻui fakatupu ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻe ʻikai ke fakahoungaʻi ʻe he faʻahinga kotoa ʻa e anga-fakatōkilalo ʻa Sīsuú pea naʻe aʻu ʻo lau ia ʻe hono ngaahi filí ko e “taupotu ki lalo ʻo e kakai.” (Taniela 4:17) Ka neongo ia, naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻoku totonu ki hono kaungātuí ke nau faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū pea nau anga-fakatōkilalo ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feangaingaʻakí.—1 Kolinito 11:1; Filipai 2:3, 4.

7 Naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻa Sīsuú, heʻene tohi: “Ke iate kimoutolu ae loto ni, aia foki nae ia Kalaisi Jisu: Koia, i he ene i he tatau moe Otua, nae ikai behe eia ko ha faaoa ke na taha moe Otua: Ka naa ne fakamajivejivai eia ia o ne too kiate ia ae tatau moe tamaioeiki, bea fanauʻi ia i he tatau oe tagata: Bea kuo ilo ia i he tatau oe tagata, naa ne fakamoulaloaʻi [pe fakatōkilaloʻi] ia, bea talagofua ki he mate, io, ae mate i he akau.”—Filipai 2:5-8, PM.
8 ʻE fifili nai ʻa e niʻihi, ‘Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e ako ʻa Sīsū ke anga-fakatōkilaló?’ Ko ha ʻaonga fisifisimuʻa ia ʻo ʻene feohi vāofi mo ʻene Tamai fakahēvaní ʻi he taimi fuoloa ʻaupito, ʻa ia ʻi he lolotonga iá naʻá ne ngāue ai ko ha “tufunga lahi” ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hono fakatupu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē. (Palovepi 8:30) ʻI he hili ʻa e angatuʻu ʻi ʻĪtení, naʻe malava ai ʻa e ʻUluaki-Fakatupu ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ne fakatokangaʻi ʻa e feangainga fakatōkilalo ʻa ʻene Tamaí mo e kau angahala fakaetangatá. Ko ia ai, ʻi heʻene ʻi māmaní, naʻe tapua mai ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e anga-fakatōkilalo ʻa ʻene Tamaí pea fai mo e kōlenga: “ʻAi ʻeku ʻioké kiate kimoutolu pea mou ako meiate au, he ʻoku ou anga-mokomoko mo loto-fakatōkilalo, pea te mou ʻilo ha fakaivifoʻou ki homou soulú.”—Mātiu 11:29, NW; Sione 14:9.

Naʻá ne fakahaaʻi mei heʻene tafaʻakí ʻa e ʻofa ki he fānaú pea mo e tokanga kiate kinautolu. (Maake 10:13-16) Ko e hā naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sīsū naʻe mātuʻaki fakamānako fekauʻaki mo e fānaú? Ko hono moʻoní, naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakamānako naʻe ʻikai ke fakahāhā maʻu pē ia ʻe he niʻihi ʻo ʻene kau ākonga lalahí. ʻOku mahino lelei ʻoku vakai ʻa e fānau īkí ki he kakai lalahí ʻoku nau māʻolunga ange. ʻOku malava ke ke ʻiloʻi eni ʻi he ngaahi fehuʻi lahi ʻoku nau ʻeké. ʻIo, ʻi hono fakahoa ki he kakai lalahi tokolahi, ʻoku akoʻingofua ange mo ʻikai hehema ʻa e fānaú ia ke pōlepole ʻo hangē ko e kakai lalahí. ʻI he taimi ʻe taha, naʻe fili mai ai ʻe Sīsū ha kiʻi tamasiʻi ʻe toko taha peá ne pehē ki Heʻene kau muimuí: “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou liliu, ʻo hoko ʻo hange ko e tamaiki, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te mou hu ki he Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani.” Naʻá ne hoko atu: “ʻIlonga ʻa ia te ne fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻo hange ko e tamasiʻi ko eni, ko ia ia ʻoku lahi ʻi he Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani.” (Mātiu 18:3, 4) Naʻe fakahā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni: “Ko ia ʻoku ne hakeakiʻi ia ʻe fakavaivaiʻi; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻe hakeakiʻi.”—Luke 14:11; 18:14; Mātiu 23:12.

Ko ʻetau ʻamanaki ki hono maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá ʻoku fakatuʻunga ʻa hono konga ʻi heʻetau fakatupulekina ʻa e anga-fakatōkilalo moʻoní, ka ko e hā ʻoku faingataʻa ai ki he kau Kalisitiané ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ke hoko ʻo anga-fakatōkilaló? Ko e hā ko ha pole ai kiate kitautolu ke tau lōmia hifo ʻetau pōlepolé, pea tali anga-fakatōkilalo ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahí? Pea ko e hā te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau lavameʻa ʻi hono fakatupulekina ʻa e anga-fakatōkilalo moʻoní?—Semisi 4:6, 10.

Kae manatuʻi, ko e “Otua . . . oku ne foaki ae ofa [ʻo kau ai ʻa hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní] ki he agavaivai” pe anga-fakatōkilaló. (Semisi 4:6, PM) Ko ia kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha faikehekehe ʻiate koe mo ha kaungātui, lotu kia Sihova ke ne tokoniʻi koe ke ke anga-fakatōkilalo ʻo tala haʻo kiʻi hala pē pe ko ha hala lahi ʻoku tupu ai ʻa e palopalemá. Kapau kuo fakalotomamahiʻi koe pea ʻoku lea loto-moʻoni atu ʻa e tokotaha fakatupu loto-mamahí, “ʻOku ou kole fakamolemole atu,” anga-fakatōkilalo ā ʻo fakamolemoleʻi. Kapau ʻoku faingataʻa ʻa hono fai ʻení, kumi ʻi he lotu ki he tokoni ʻa Sihová ke toʻo mei ho lotó ha faʻahinga hīkisia pē ʻoku kei nofo ai.
