Ko e fiefiá ko ha koloa mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ia ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová. Naʻe kalanga ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-saame ko Tēvitá: “Monuʻiaā [pe fiefiaā] ka ko e kakai ʻoku ʻotua ʻaki ʻa Sihova!” (Sāme 144:15) Ko e fiefiá ko ha ongoʻi lelei.

(Palovepi 10:22) ʻOku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he fiefia peheé ha vahaʻangatae vāofi mo ʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní pea mo e ʻilo ʻoku tau fai hono finangaló. (Sāme 112:1; 119:1, 2) Ko e meʻa ʻoku mahuʻingá, naʻe fakalau mai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻe hiva ʻa ia ʻoku lava ke lau ai kitautolu ʻoku tau fiefiá. Ko hano sivisiviʻi ʻo e ngaahi ʻuhinga ko ʻeni ki he fiefiá, ʻe tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he kupu ko ʻení mo hono hokó ke tau sio ki hono lahi ʻo e fiefia ʻe lava ke tau maʻú kapau ʻoku tau tauhi faitōnunga ʻa e “ʻOtua fiefiá,” ʻa Sihova.—1 Timote 1:11, NW.

2. Ko e taimi fē naʻe lea ai ʻa Sīsū ʻo fekauʻaki mo e fiefiá, pea ko e hā ʻene lea kamatá?
2 ʻI he 31 T.S., naʻe fai ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e taha ʻo e ngaahi malanga ʻiloa taha ʻi he hisitōliá. ʻOku ui ia ko e Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá koeʻuhi naʻe fai ia ʻe Sīsū ʻi he tafaʻaki moʻungá ʻo hanga ki he Tahi Kālelí. ʻOku fakahā ʻe he Kōsipeli ʻa Mātiú: “Pea ʻi heʻene sio [ʻa Sīsū] ki he ngāhi fuʻu kakai, naʻa ne ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga, pea ʻi heʻene nofo hifo ke malanga naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu kiate ia ʻene kau ako: pea ne ofaʻaki ʻene lea, ʻo ne akoʻi kinautolu, ʻo pehe. Monūʻiaā [pe fiefiaā] ka ko kinautolu ʻoku ongoʻi masiva honau laumalie: he ʻoku ʻonautolu ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani.” ʻI hono liliu fakafoʻileá, ʻoku pehē ʻe he ngaahi lea kamata ʻa Sīsuú: “Fiefia ka ko e faʻahinga masiva (ʻi he fekauʻaki) mo e laumālié,” pe “Fiefia ka ko e faʻahinga ko e kau kole ki he laumālié.” (Fakaʻītali ʻamautolu; Mātiu 5:1-3; Kingdom Interlinear; fakamatala ʻi lalo) ʻOku pehē ʻe he Today’s English Version: “Fiefia ka ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ʻoku nau masiva fakalaumālié.”
3. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e tokoni ʻa e ʻulungāanga fakatōkilaló ki heʻetau fiefiá?
3 ʻI heʻene malanga ʻi he tafaʻaki moʻungá, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻoku fiefia lahi mamaʻo ange ha taha kapau ʻokú ne lāuʻilo ki heʻene fiemaʻu fakalaumālié. Ko e kau Kalisitiane anga-fakatōkilaló, ʻoku nau lāuʻilo kakato ki honau tuʻunga angahalaʻiá, ʻoku nau kole kia Sihova ki heʻene fakamolemolé ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Kalaisí. (1 Sione 1:9) ʻOku nau maʻu ai ʻa e nonga ʻa e ʻatamaí mo e fiefia moʻoní. “Monuʻiaa [pe fiefiaā] ka ko e toko taha kuo fakamolemole ʻene talangataʻa, kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻene faihala.”—Sāme 32:1; 119:165.
4. (a) ʻI he ngaahi founga fē ʻe lava ke tau fakahāhā ai ʻa e lāuʻilo ki heʻetau fiemaʻu fakalaumālié pea mo ia ʻa e niʻihi kehé? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku tānaki mai ki heʻetau fiefiá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ai ʻetau fiemaʻu fakalaumālié?
4 Ko e lāuʻilo ki heʻetau fiemaʻu fakalaumālié ʻokú ne ueʻi kitautolu ke tau lau fakaʻaho ʻa e Tohi Tapú, ke maʻu ʻa e ʻaonga kakato mei he meʻakai fakalaumālie ʻoku ʻomai “i hono taimi totonu” ʻe he “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto,” pea ke maʻu tuʻumaʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané. (Mātiu 24:45, PM; Sāme 1:1, 2; 119:111; Hepelu 10:25) Ko e ʻofa ki he kaungāʻapí ʻokú ne ʻai kitautolu ke tau lāuʻilo ki he fiemaʻu fakalaumālie ʻa e niʻihi kehé pea ueʻi kitautolu ke tau faivelenga ʻi hono malangaʻi mo faiakoʻaki ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá. (Maake 13:10; Loma 1:14-16) Ko hono vahevahe atu ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni ʻo e Tohi Tapú ki he niʻihi kehé ʻokú ne ʻomai kiate kitautolu ʻa e fiefia. (Ngāue 20:20, 35) ʻOku toe loloto ange ʻetau fiefiá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fakalaulauloto ai ki he ʻamanaki fakaofo fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻangá pea mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻe ʻomai ʻe he Puleʻanga ko iá. Ki he “fanga sipi toko siʻi” ko e kau Kalisitiane paní, ko e ʻamanaki ʻo e Puleʻangá ko hono maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻefaʻamate ʻi hēvani ko ha konga ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo Kalaisí. (Luke 12:32; 1 Kolinito 15:50, 54) Ki he “fanga sipi kehe,” ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ko e moʻui taʻengata ʻi ha māmani palataisi ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Puleʻanga ko iá.—Sione 10:16; Sāme 37:11; Mātiu 25:34, 46.

Naʻá ne pehē: “Monūʻiaā [pe fiefiaā] ka ko kinautolu ʻoku fakamamahi: he ʻe fakafiemalie ʻakinautolu.” (Mātiu 5:4) ʻE lava fēfē ke mamahi ha taha pea ke ne fiefia ʻi he taimi tatau pē? Ke mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e lea ʻa Sīsuú, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fakakaukau atu pe ko e hā ʻa e faʻahinga mamahi ʻokú ne lea ʻo kau ki aí. ʻOku fakamatala mai ʻa e ākonga ko Sēmisí ʻo pehē ʻe lava ʻa hotau tuʻunga angahalaʻia ʻo kitautolú ke hoko ko ha tupuʻanga ʻo e mamahi. Naʻá ne tohi: “Fakamaʻa homou nima, ʻa kau angahala; pea fakatapu ʻa homou loto, ʻa kau siosio ua. Mou fakamamahi, mo toʻe, mo tangi: ke liliu hoʻomou kata ko e toʻe, mo hoʻomou fiefia ko e fakamāmāhuʻi. Fakavaivaiʻi kimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻEiki, pea te ne hakeakiʻi kimoutolu.” (Semisi 4:8-10) Ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau mamahi moʻoni koeʻuhi ko honau tuʻunga angahalaʻiá ʻoku fakafiemālieʻi kinautolu ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ai ʻoku malava ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻenau ngaahi angahalá kapau ʻoku nau ngāueʻi ʻa e tui ki he feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Kalaisí pea fakahāhā ʻa e fakatomala moʻoní ʻaki hono fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo Sihová. (Sione 3:16; 2 Kolinito 7:9, 10) ʻE malava ai ke nau maʻu ha vahaʻangatae mātuʻaki mahuʻinga mo Sihova pea maʻu ʻa e ʻamanaki ko e moʻui taʻengatá ke tauhi mo fakahīkihikiʻi ai ia. ʻOku ʻomai ʻe he meʻá ni kiate kinautolu ʻa e fiefia loloto ʻi loto.—Loma 4:7, 8.

6 ʻOku toe kau ʻi he lea ʻa Sīsuú ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku mamahi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tuʻunga fakalielia ʻoku hoko lahi ʻi he māmaní. Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sīsū kiate ia ʻa e kikite ʻo e Aisea 61:1, 2 (PM), ʻa ia ʻoku pehē: “Oku iate au ae Laumalie oe Eiki ko Jihova; koeuhi kuo fakanofo au e Jihova keu malaga aki ae ogoogolelei ki he agamalu; kuo ne fekau au ke nonoo ae loto mafeji, . . . ke fakafiemalieʻi akinautolu kotoabe oku mamahi.” ʻOku toe ngāueʻaki ʻa e fekau ko iá ki he kau Kalisitiane pani ko ia ʻoku nau kei ʻi he māmaní, ʻa ia ʻoku nau fakahoko ia fakataha mo e tokoni ʻa honau ngaahi takangá, ko e “fanga sipi kehe.” ʻOku nau kau kātoa ki he ngāue ʻo hono fakaʻilongaʻi fakaefakatātā ʻa e foʻi laʻe ʻo e “kau tangata ʻoku mapuhoi mo toʻe koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fakalielia ʻoku fai ʻi loto kolo [ʻo Selusalema tafoki mei he moʻoní, ʻokú ne fakatātaaʻi ʻa e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané].” (Isikeli 9:4) Ko e faʻahinga mamahi ko iá ʻoku fakafiemālieʻi ʻaki ʻa e “ongoongolelei ko eni ʻo e puleʻanga.” (Mātiu 24:14) ʻOku nau fiefia ʻi hono ʻiloʻi kuo vavé ni ke fetongi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu fulikivanu ʻa Sētané ʻaki ʻa e māmani foʻou māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihová.
Fiefiaā ka ko e Faʻahinga ʻOku Anga-Maluú
7. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa e foʻi lea “agamalu”?
7 Naʻe hoko atu ʻe Sīsū ʻene Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá ʻaki ʻene pehē: “Oku monuia [pe fiefiaā] ae agamalu: he te nau maʻu ae fonua.” (Mātiu 5:5, PM) Ko e anga-maluú ʻoku fai ʻa e fakakaukau ki ai he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi ha vaivaiʻanga ʻi he ʻulungāangá. Kae kehe, ʻoku ʻikai ko e tuʻungá ia. ʻI hono fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e foʻi lea naʻe liliu ko e “agamalu,” naʻe tohi ʻe ha mataotao Tohi Tapu ʻe taha: “Ko e ʻulungāanga māʻolunga ʻo e tangata ʻa ia ʻoku [anga-maluú] he ko e tangata ia ʻokú ne mātuʻaki mapuleʻi-kita. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha anga-lelei fakavaivai ia, ko ha ongoʻi ʻofa tōtuʻa, pe anga-fakalongolongo. Ko ha mālohi ia ʻoku mapuleʻi.” Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ʻo kau kiate ia tonu: “Oku ou agavaivai mo agamalu.” (Mātiu 11:29, PM) Neongo ia, naʻe loto-toʻa ʻa Sīsū ia ʻi hono taukapoʻi ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni māʻoniʻoní.—Mātiu 21:12, 13; 23:13-33.
8. Ko e hā ʻoku felāveʻi vāofi mo e anga-maluú, pea ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ai kiate kitautolu ʻa e ʻulungāanga ko ʻení ʻi hotau vahaʻangatae mo e niʻihi kehé?
8 Ko ia ai, ʻoku felāveʻi vāofi ʻa e anga-maluú mo e mapuleʻi-kitá. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe fakahokohoko fakataha ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e anga-maluú mo e mapuleʻi-kitá ʻi heʻene fakahaaʻi mai ʻa e “fua ʻo e laumālié.” (Kaletia 5:22, 23, NW) Ko e anga-maluú kuo pau ke fakatupulekina ia ʻaki ʻa e tokoni ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní. Ko ha ʻulungāanga faka-Kalisitiane ia ʻoku tokoni ki he melino mo e faʻahinga ʻi tuʻá pea mo e faʻahinga ʻi he fakatahaʻangá. Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Mou ai . . . ae manavaofa, moe agalelei, moe loto agavaivai, moe agamalu, moe kataki fuoloa; O fetoutou fekatakiaki be, mo fefakamolemoleaki be.”—Kolose 3:12, 13, PM.
9. (a) Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ke fakangatangata ai pē ʻa e anga-maluú ia ki hotau vahaʻangatae mo e kakai kehé? (e) ʻE anga-fēfē hono “maʻu ae fonua” ʻe he kau anga-maluú?

Ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga tefito ʻi he meʻá ni ko Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻa ia ʻi he lolotonga ʻene ʻi heni ʻi he māmaní naʻá ne fakahāhā ʻa e anga-malū mo e anganofo kakato ki he finangalo ʻo ʻene Tamaí. (Sione 5:19, 30) ʻOku maʻu ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tuʻunga māʻolunga taha ʻi he māmaní, he ko ia ʻa e Tokotaha-Pule kuo fakanofó. (Sāme 2:6-8; Taniela 7:13, 14) ʻOkú ne kaungāʻinasi ʻi he tofiʻá ni mo e “kaungā-[ʻe]a” ko e toko 144,000, kuo fili mei he “kakai” ke nau “hau ʻi mamani.” (Loma 8:17; Fakahā 5:9, 10; 14:1, 3, 4; Taniela 7:27) Ko Kalaisi mo hono kaungā-pulé te nau pule mai ki he laui miliona ʻo e kakai tangata mo e kakai fefine hangē ha sipí ʻa ia ʻe fakahoko fiefia ki ai ʻa e saame fakaekikité: “Koe agamalu te nau maʻu ae fonua; o nau fakafiemalieʻi akinautolu i hono lahi oe melino.”—Sāme 37:11, PM; Mātiu 25:33, 34, 46.

10 Ko e fiefia hono hoko naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻi he taimi naʻá ne lea ai ʻi he tafaʻaki moʻunga Kālelí ko e: “Oku monuia [pe fiefiaā] akinautolu oku fiekaia mo fieinua ki he maonioni: he te nau fonu ai.” (Mātiu 5:6, PM) ʻOku fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e māʻoniʻoní ki he kau Kalisitiané. Ko ia ai, ko e faʻahinga ʻoku fiekaia mo fieinua ki he māʻoniʻoní, ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku nau fiekaia mo fieinua ki he tataki fakaʻotuá. Ko e faʻahinga peheé ʻoku nau lāuʻilo lahi ki heʻenau angahalá mo e taʻehaohaoá pea fakaʻamu ki ha tuʻunga fakahōifua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová. He fiefia ē ko kinautolu ʻi heʻenau ʻilo mei he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá kapau te nau fakatomala mo kumi ki he fakamolemole makatuʻunga ʻi he feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Kalaisí, te nau ʻi ha tuʻunga ai ke maʻu ha tuʻunga māʻoniʻoni ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá!—Ngāue 2:38; 10:43; 13:38, 39; Loma 5:19.

11 Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ko e faʻahinga peheé te nau fiefia, koeʻuhi te nau “fiemālie.” (Mātiu 5:6, Kingdom Interlinear) Ko e kau Kalisitiane pani ʻoku ui ke “hau” fakataha mo Kalaisi ʻi hēvaní ʻoku lau ʻoku “fakatonuhia [pe māʻoniʻoni] ke nau moʻui.” (Loma 5:1, 9, 16-18) ʻOku fakatupu ʻe Sihova kinautolu, ʻo ohi ai kinautolu ko e ngaahi foha fakalaumālie. ʻOku nau hoko ko e kaungā-ʻea mo Kalaisi, ʻo ui ke nau hoko ko e ngaahi tuʻi mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻi hono Puleʻanga fakahēvaní.—Sione 3:3; 1 Pita 2:9.
12 Ko e ngaahi takanga ʻo e kau paní ʻoku teʻeki ai ke lau kinautolu ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni ki he moʻuí. Kae kehe, ʻoku nau maʻu ha tuʻunga ʻo e māʻoniʻoní ʻoku lau kiate kinautolu ʻe Sihova fakafou ʻi heʻenau tui ki he taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi naʻe lilingí. (Semisi 2:22-25; Fakahā 7:9, 10) ʻOku lau kinautolu ʻoku nau māʻoniʻoni ʻi he tuʻunga ko e ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻo Sihova ʻo nau hanga atu ai ki he fakahaofi ʻi he taimi ʻo e “mamahi lahi.” (Fakahā 7:14) Ko ʻenau fieinua ki he māʻoniʻoní ʻe toe fakalato ia ʻi he taimi, ʻa ia ʻi he malumalu ʻo e “ngaahi langi foʻou,” te nau hoko ai ko e konga ʻo e māmani foʻou ʻa ia “ʻoku nofoʻanga ai ʻa maʻoniʻoni.”—2 Pita 3:13; Sāme 37:29.

13, 14. ʻI he ngaahi founga ʻaonga fē ʻoku totonu ke tau fakahāhā ai ʻoku tau mohu mēsí, pea ko e hā hono ʻaonga kiate kitautolú?
13 ʻI he hoko atu ʻene Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá, naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Fiefiaā ka ko kinautolu ʻoku mohu mēsí, koeʻuhi ʻe fakahaaʻi kiate kinautolu ʻa e mēsí.” (Mātiu 5:7, NW) ʻI ha ʻuhinga fakalao, ʻoku mahinoʻi ai ʻa e mēsí ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he anga-ʻofa ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻa ha fakamaau ʻa ia ʻokú ne taʻofi hono hilifaki ki ha tokotaha-faihala ʻa e tautea kakato ʻoku fakaʻatā ʻi he malumalu ʻo e laó. Kae kehe, hangē ko ia ko hono ngāueʻaki ʻi he Tohi Tapú, ko e muʻaki foʻi lea naʻe liliu ko e “mēsí” ʻoku ʻuhinga lahi ia ki ha fakahāhā ʻo e fakaʻatuʻi anga-ʻofa pe fakaʻofaʻia ʻo fakahoko mai ai ha nonga ki he faʻahinga ʻoku ʻi he tuʻunga faingatāmakí. Ko ia ai, ko e faʻahinga ʻoku mohu mēsí ʻoku nau fakahāhā ʻa e manavaʻofá. ʻOku tokonaki mai ʻe he talanoa fakatātā ʻa Sīsū ki he Samēlia anga-fakakaungāʻapí ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ʻo ha taha ʻokú ne “fai ʻofa [pe mohu meesi]” ki ha taha ʻoku faingataʻaʻia.—Luke 10:29-37.
14 Ke hokosia ʻa e fiefia ʻoku tupu mei he hoko ʻo mohu mēsí, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi ngāue lelei ʻo e anga-ʻofá ki he faʻahinga ʻoku faingataʻaʻiá. (Kaletia 6:10) Naʻe ongoʻi manavaʻofa ʻa Sīsū ki he kakai naʻá ne sio ki aí. “Naʻe langa hono fatu ʻi he ʻofa kiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ko ʻenau hange ha fanga sipi taʻe hanau tauhi: pea naʻa ne hanga ʻo ako kiate kinautolu ha ngāhi meʻa lahi.” (Maake 6:34) Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Sīsū ko e fiemaʻu lahi taha ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ko e meʻa fakalaumālié. ʻOku malava mo kitautolu foki ke tau fakahāhā ʻoku tau manavaʻofa mo mohu meesi ʻaki hono vahevahe atu ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e meʻa ʻoku nau fiemaʻu lahi tahá—ko e “ongoongolelei ko eni ʻo e puleʻanga.” (Mātiu 24:14) ʻOku toe malava foki ke tau ʻoatu ʻa e tokoni ʻaonga ki he kaungā Kalisitiane taʻumotuʻá, kau uitoú, mo e kau paeá pea “fakafiemalie ki he kau loto foi.” (1 Tesalonaika 5:14, PM; Palovepi 12:25; Semisi 1:27) ʻE ʻikai ngata pē ʻi hono ʻomai ʻe he meʻá ni kiate kitautolu ʻa e fiefiá ka te ne toe ʻai kitautolu ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e meesi ʻa Sihová.—Ngāue 20:35; Semisi 2:13.
Maʻa ʻi he Lotó mo Fakatupu Melino
15. ʻE malava fēfē ke tau maʻa ʻi he lotó mo fakatupu melino?
15 Naʻe fakaeʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa hono ono mo hono fitu ʻo e fiefiá ʻo peheni: “Monūʻiaā [pe fiefiaā] ka ko kinautolu ʻoku maʻa honau loto: he te nau mamata ki he ʻOtua. Monūʻiaā [pe fiefiaā] ka ko kinautolu ʻoku fakatupu melino: he ʻe ui ʻa kinautolu ko e ngāhi foha ʻo e ʻOtua.” (Mātiu 5:8, 9) Ko ha loto-maʻa ko e loto ia ʻoku ʻikai ngata pē ʻi heʻene maʻa fakaeʻulungāangá ka ʻoku toe maʻa fakalaumālie pea ʻoku fāʻūtaha ʻi heʻene līʻoa kia Sihová.

(Loma 12:17-21) ʻOku nau “kumi ki he melino, ʻio, ʻo tuli ki ai.”—1 Pita 3:11.

(Loma 8:14-17) ʻI hono fokotuʻu hake kinautolu ke fakataha mo Kalaisi ʻi hēvaní, ʻoku nau ngāue ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová pea nau mātā tonu Ia.—1 Sione 3:1, 2; Fakahā 4:9-11.
