Paasi ʻa e “Tamaioeki Agatonu” ʻi he Siví!
“Ko e kuonga ʻeni ke kamata ʻa e fakamāu mei he ʻapi ʻo e ʻOtua.”—1 PITA 4:17.
1. Ko e hā naʻe fehangahangai mo Sīsū ʻi heʻene sivi ʻa e “tamaioeiki”?
ʻI HE Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S., naʻe fakanofo ai ʻe Sīsū ha “tamaioeiki” ke ne tokonaki ʻa e meʻakaí ʻi he taimi totonu ki hono “kaugaabi” pe kau nofoʻangá. ʻI he 1914, naʻe fakanofo ai ʻa Sīsū ko e Tuʻi, pea naʻe vave ai ʻa e taimi ke siviʻi ʻa e “tamaioeiki” ko iá. ʻI he tafaʻaki lahi tahá, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ai ko e “tamaioeiki” naʻá ne fakamoʻoniʻi tonu ia ʻoku “agatonu mo boto.” Ko ia ai, naʻá ne fakanofo ia ke ne “buleʻi ene mea kotoabe.” (Mātiu 24:45-47, PM) Kae kehe, naʻe toe ʻi ai foki mo ha tamaioʻeiki kovi, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ke anga-tonu pe poto.
“Tamaioʻeiki Kovi ko Ena”
2, 3. Naʻe haʻu mei fē ʻa e “tamaioʻeiki kovi ko ena,” pea naʻe anga-fēfē ʻene tupú?
2 Naʻe lea ʻa Sīsū ʻo kau ki he tamaioʻeiki koví ʻi he hili pē ʻene lāulea ki he “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto.” Naʻá ne pehē: “Ka ʻo ka ka pehe ʻe he tamaioʻeiki kovi ko ena ʻi hono loto, ʻOku fakatotoka ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki ʻene haʻu; pea ne hanga ai ʻo haha ʻa kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he kau ngaue mo ia, pea ne kai foki mo inu kava mo e kau inu [pe kau konaá]; ʻe toki haʻu ʻa e ʻeiki ʻa e tamaioʻeiki ko ia ʻi ha ʻaho ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻamanekina ia, pea mo ha houa ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ki ai, pea te ne fahiua ia [pe tautea ʻi he tuʻunga mamafa tahá], pea tuʻutuʻuni ke ʻinasi fakataha ia mo e kau maʻoniʻoni loi. Ko e potu ia ʻe toki hoko ai ʻa e tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻo e nifo.” (Mātiu 24:48-51) Ko e kupuʻi lea “tamaioʻeiki kovi ko ena” ʻoku tohoakiʻi ai ʻetau tokangá ki he ngaahi lea ki muʻa ʻa Sīsū ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tamaioʻeiki anga-tonu mo potó. ʻIo, ko e “tamaioʻeiki kovi” naʻe haʻu ia mei he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e tamaioʻeiki anga-tonú.a ʻO anga-fēfē?
3 Ki muʻa ʻi he 1914, ko e kau mēmipa tokolahi ʻo e kalasi tamaioʻeiki anga-tonú naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻamanaki mālohi ʻo e fetaulaki mo e Tangata-Taʻané ʻi hēvani ʻi he taʻu ko iá, ka naʻe ʻikai ke fakahoko ʻenau ʻamanakí. Tupu mei he meʻá ni mo e ngaahi meʻa kehe naʻe hoko, naʻe siva ai e ʻamanaki ʻa e tokolahi pea naʻe hoko ai ha niʻihi siʻi ʻo loto-kona. Ko e niʻihi ʻo e faʻahingá ni naʻa nau hanga hake ʻo “haha” ʻi he lea ʻa honau fanga tokoua ki muʻá pea nau feohi mo e “kau inu,” ʻa e ngaahi kulupu fakalotu ʻo e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané.—Aisea 28:1-3; 32:6.
4. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e feangainga ʻa Sīsū mo e “tamaioʻeiki kovi” pea mo e faʻahinga kotoa kuo nau fakahāhā ʻa e laumālie tataú?
4 Ko e kau Kalisitiane ko eni ki muʻá naʻe hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi kinautolu ko e “tamaioʻeiki kovi,” pea naʻe tauteaʻi ʻe Sīsū kinautolu ʻaki hono “fahiua ia.” Anga-fēfē? Naʻá ne siʻaki kinautolu, pea naʻe mole ai meia kinautolu ʻenau ʻamanaki fakahēvaní. Kae kehe, naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻauha ai pē kinautolu. Naʻe pau ke nau ʻuluaki kātekina ha vahaʻa taimi ʻo e tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻo e nifó ʻi he “poʻuli ʻo tuaʻā” mei he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané. (Mātiu 8:12) Talu mei he muʻaki ngaahi ʻaho ko iá, kuo fakahaaʻi ʻe ha faʻahinga pani tokosiʻi kehe ha laumālie kovi meimei tatau, ʻo fakahaaʻi kinautolu ko e “tamaioʻeiki kovi.” Ko e niʻihi ʻo e “fanga sipi kehe” kuo nau faʻifaʻitaki ki heʻenau taʻeangatonú. (Sione 10:16) Ko e ngaahi fili kotoa ko ia ʻo Kalaisí naʻa nau iku ki he “poʻuli [fakalaumālie tatau] ʻo tuaʻā.”
5. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e tamaioʻeiki anga-tonu mo potó, ʻo mātuʻaki kehe mei he “tamaioʻeiki kovi”?
5 Neongo ia, naʻe fou ʻa e tamaioʻeiki anga-tonu mo potó ʻi he ngaahi sivi tatau mo e “tamaioʻeiki kovi ko ena.” Kae kehe, ʻi he ʻikai hoko ʻo loto-koná, naʻe fakatonutonuʻi kinautolu. (2 Kolinito 13:11) Ko ʻenau ʻofa kia Sihova mo honau fanga tokouá naʻe ʻai ʻo mālohi. Ko hono olá, kuo nau hoko ai ko ha “pou mo e tuʻunga ʻo e Moʻoni” lolotonga ʻa e “kuonga fakamui” ko ení.—1 Timote 3:15; 2 Timote 3:1.
Kau Tāupoʻou Fai Fakapotopotó mo e Fai Valé
6. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakatātaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e poto ʻa ʻene kalasi tamaioʻeiki anga-tonú? (e) Ki muʻa ʻi he 1914, ko e hā ʻa e pōpoaki naʻe fanongonongo ʻe he kau Kalisitiane paní?
6 Hili ʻa e lea ki he “tamaioʻeiki kovi ko ena,” naʻe talanoa ai ʻa Sīsū ki ha pealapeli ʻe ua ke fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻoku anga-tonu mo fai fakapotopoto ʻa e kau Kalisitiane pani ʻe niʻihi lolotonga ia ʻe ʻikai pehē ʻa e niʻihi.b Ke fakatātaaʻi ʻa e fai fakapotopotó, naʻá ne pehē: “Ko e fakatātā ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani ko e tuʻunga tāupoʻou ʻe toko hongofulu, ʻa ia naʻa nau taki taha toʻo ʻene maama, ʻo ʻalu mei ʻapi ke kau ʻi [he] fakafetaulaki ʻo e ʻeiki-taʻane. Pea ko honau toko nima ko e kau fai vale, ka ko e toko nima ko e kau fai fakapotopoto: he ko e kau fai vale naʻa nau toʻo ʻenau ngaahi maama, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻu mo kinautolu ha lolo; ka ko kinautolu naʻe fai fakapotopoto naʻe haʻu mo kinautolu ha lolo ʻi he ngaahi hina naʻe kau ki heʻenau ngaahi maama.” (Mātiu 25:1-4) ʻOku fakamanatu mai kia kitautolu ʻe he kau tāupoʻou ʻe toko hongofulú ʻa e kau Kalisitiane pani ki muʻa ʻi he 1914. Naʻa nau fikaʻi ko e ʻeiki-taʻané, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, naʻe teu ke ne hā mai. Ko ia ai, naʻa nau “ʻalu” ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo malangaʻi loto-toʻa ko e “ngaahi kuonga ʻo e Senitaile” ʻe ngata ia ʻi he 1914.—Luke 21:24.
7. Hangē ko e laú, ko e taimi fē pea ko e hā naʻe ‘mohe’ ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní?
7 Naʻa nau tonu. Ko e kuonga ʻo e Senitailé naʻe ngata ia ʻi he 1914, pea ko e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he malumalu ʻo Kalaisi Sīsuú naʻe ngāue ia. Ka naʻe ʻi he ngaahi langi taʻehāmaí ia. ʻI he māmaní, naʻe kamata ke tofanga ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi he “ʻoiaue” naʻe tomuʻa talá. (Fakahā 12:10, 12) Naʻe hoko mai ai ha taimi ʻo e sivi. ʻI he ʻikai mahinoʻi lelei ʻa e ngaahi meʻá, naʻe fakakaukau ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní ʻoku “fakatotoka ʻa e ʻeiki-taʻane.” ʻI he puputuʻu pea mo e fehangahangai mo e fakafili mei he māmaní, naʻa nau fakamāmālie hifo fakalūkufua pea meimei taʻofi ʻa hono fokotuʻutuʻu ʻo e ngāue fakamalanga ki he kakaí. ʻI he hangē ko e kau tāupoʻou ʻi he pealapelí, hangē ko e laú ʻi he ʻuhinga fakalaumālié naʻa nau “tulemohe kotoa pe ʻo mohe,” ʻo hangē pē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he kau Kalisitiane lau pē taʻeangatonú ʻi he hili ʻa e mate ʻa e kau ʻapositolo ʻa Sīsuú.—Mātiu 25:5; Fakahā 11:7, 8; 12:17.
8. Ko e hā naʻe taki atu ki he kalanga: “Ko e ʻeiki-taʻane ʻeni!” pea ko e taimi ia ki he kau Kalisitiane paní ke nau fai ʻa e hā?
8 ʻI he 1919 leva naʻe hoko ai ha meʻa taʻeʻamanekina. ʻOku tau lau: “ʻI he tuʻuapō naʻe pa mai ha kalanga, Ko e ʻeiki-taʻane ʻeni, mou ʻalu atu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia. Toki ʻā hake kotoa pe ʻa e kau tāupoʻou ko ia, ʻo taki taha ngaohi ʻene maama.” (Mātiu 25:6, 7) ʻI he taimi tofu pē ko ia ne hā ngali fakapōpōʻuli taha aí, naʻe ʻi ai ha ui ke hoko ʻo longomoʻui! ʻI he 1918, ko Sīsū, “ae talafekau oe fuakava,” naʻá ne haʻu ai ki he temipale fakalaumālie ʻo Sihová ke sivi mo fakamaʻa ʻa e fakatahaʻanga ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Malakai 3:1, PM) ʻI he taimi ko ení, naʻe fiemaʻu ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní ke nau ʻalu atu ʻo fakafetaulaki kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi lotoʻā fakaemāmani ʻo e temipale ko iá. Naʻe taimi ai kia kinautolu ke nau “ulo.”—Aisea 60:1; Filipai 2:14, 15.
9, 10. ʻI he 1919, ko e hā naʻe “fai fakapotopoto” ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ʻe niʻihi pea “fai vale” ʻa e niʻihí?
9 Kae tatali angé! ʻI he pealapelí, naʻe ʻi ai ha palopalema ʻa e kau finemui ʻe niʻihi. Naʻe hoko atu ʻa Sīsū: “Pea lea ʻe he kau fai vale ki he kau fai fakapotopoto, Tuku mai ha meʻa mei hoʻomou lolo, he ʻoku tei mate ʻemau ngaahi maama.” (Mātiu 25:8) ʻI he ʻikai ha loló, ʻe ʻikai ulo ʻa e ngaahi māmá. Ko e maama loló ʻoku fakamanatu mai ai kia kitautolu ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e moʻoní mo hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ʻa ia ʻoku fakaivia ai ʻa e kau lotu moʻoní ke nau hoko ko e kau toʻo maama. (Sāme 119:130; Taniela 5:14) Ki muʻa ʻi he 1919, naʻe feinga tōtōivi ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá kia kinautolú, neongo ʻenau ʻi he tuʻunga vaivai fakataimí. Ko ia ai, ʻi he haʻu ʻa e ui ke ulo atú, naʻa nau ʻosi mateuteu.—2 Timote 4:2; Hepelu 10:24, 25.
10 Kae kehe, ko e faʻahinga pani ʻe niʻihi, naʻe ʻikai te nau teuteu ke fai ha ngaahi feilaulau pe fai ha feinga fakafoʻituitui—neongo naʻa nau holi fakamātoato ke ʻi ai mo e ʻEiki-Taʻané. Ko ia ʻi he taimi ke hoko ʻo longomoʻui ʻi hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí, naʻe ʻikai te nau mateuteu. (Mātiu 24:14) Naʻe aʻu ʻo nau feinga ke fakamāmālieʻi ʻa honau ngaahi kaumeʻa faivelengá, ko hono moʻoní, ʻi hono kole ha konga ʻo ʻenau loló. ʻI he pealapeli ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e kau tāupoʻou fai fakapotopotó? Naʻa nau pehē ange: “Ka naʻa ʻiloange ʻe ʻikai feʻunga mo kimautolu mo kimoutolu fakatouʻosi: mou ō muʻa ki he kau fakatau, ʻo fakatau maʻamoutolu.” (Mātiu 25:9) ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ko e kau Kalisitiane pani mateaki ʻi he 1919 naʻa nau fakafisi ke fai ha meʻa ʻa ia te ne fakasiʻisiʻi ʻenau malava tonu ke toʻo māmá. Ko ia, naʻa nau paasi ʻi he siví.
11. Ko e hā naʻe hoko ki he kau tāupoʻou fai valé?
11 ʻOku fakaʻosiʻaki ʻe Sīsū: “Lolotonga ʻenau ʻalu [ʻa e kau tāupoʻou fai valé] mei ai ke fakatau, mo e haʻu ʻa e ʻeiki-taʻane; pea ko kinautolu kuo ʻosi ʻenau teu naʻa nau ʻalu atu mo ia ʻo hu ki he katoanga, pea tapuni ʻa e matapa. Pea haʻu tomui ʻa hono toe ʻo e kau tāupoʻou, ʻo nau pehe, ʻEiki, ʻEiki, toʻo kiate kimautolu. Ka ka tali ʻe ia ʻo ne pehe, Ko au e, ʻoku ou tala atu, ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa kimoutolu.” (Mātiu 25:10-12) ʻIo, naʻe taʻeteuteu ʻa e niʻihi ki he aʻu mai ʻa e ʻEiki-Taʻané. Ko ia, naʻa nau tō ai he siví pea mole ʻa e faingamālie ke maʻu ʻa e kātoanga mali fakahēvaní. He toki meʻa fakamamahi moʻoni ē!
Ko e Pealapeli ʻo e Ngaahi Talēnití
12. (a) Ko e hā naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sīsū ke fakatātaaʻiʻaki ʻa e tuʻunga anga-tonú? (e) Ko hai ʻa e tangata naʻe ‘ʻalu ki mulí’?
12 Hili hono fakatātaaʻi ʻa e potó, naʻe hoko atu ʻa Sīsū ke fakatātaaʻi ʻa e tuʻunga anga-tonú. Naʻá ne pehē: “Ko ha tangata naʻe teu ʻalu ki muli, pea ne ui ange ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki aʻana, ʻo ne tuku kiate kinautolu ʻene koloa. Ko e toko taha naʻa ne ʻange ki ai ʻa e taleniti ʻe nima, pea ua ki he toko taha, pea taha ki he toko taha; ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau mafai taki taha; pea ne ʻalu leva ki muli.” (Mātiu 25:14, 15) Ko e tangata ʻi he pealapelí ko Sīsū tonu ia, ʻa ia naʻá ne ‘ʻalu ki muli’ ʻi he taimi naʻá ne ʻalu hake ai ki hēvani ʻi he taʻu 33 T.S. Ka ki muʻa ʻi heʻene ʻalu haké, naʻe tuku ʻe Sīsū ʻa “ʻene koloa” ki heʻene kau ākonga anga-tonú. Anga-fēfē?
13. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono teuteu ʻe Sīsū ha malaʻe lahi ʻo e ngāué pea fakamafaiʻi ʻa ʻene “kau tamaioʻeiki” ke nau fai ʻa e ngāué?
13 Lolotonga ʻene ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi he māmaní, naʻe kamata ai ke teuteu ʻe Sīsū ha fuʻu malaʻe lahi ʻo e ngāué ʻaki hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻi he fonua kotoa ʻo ʻIsilelí. (Mātiu 9:35-38) Ki muʻa ke ne ‘ʻalu ki mulí,’ naʻá ne tuku ʻa e malaʻe ko iá ki heʻene kau ākonga anga-tonú, ʻi heʻene pehē: “Ko ia ke mou ō, ʻo ngaohi ʻa e ngāhi kakai kotoa pe ko ʻeku kau ako, ʻi he papitaiso kinautolu ki he Huafa ʻo e Tamai mo e ʻAlo mo e Laumalie Maʻoniʻoni, mo e akoʻi kinautolu ke tauhi ʻa e ngāhi meʻa kotoa pe kuo u tuʻutuʻuni atu.” (Mātiu 28:18-20) ʻI he ngaahi leá ni, naʻe fakamafaiʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene “kau tamaioʻeiki” ke nau fai ʻa e ngāue “ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau mafai taki taha,” kae ʻoua ke ne foki mai.
14. Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ʻamanekina ai ke fai ʻe he toko taha kotoa ʻa e ngāue lahi tataú?
14 Ko e kupuʻi lea ko iá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻe he kau Kalisitiane kotoa ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga pe malava tatau. Ko e niʻihi, hangē ko Paula mo Tīmoté, naʻa nau ʻatā ke kau ʻi he kakato taha ʻe malavá ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá mo fakafaiakó. Ko e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e niʻihi kehé naʻe fakangatangata lahi nai ai ʻenau tauʻatāina ke ngāué. Ko e fakatātaá, ko e kau Kalisitiane ʻe niʻihi ko e kau pōpula, pea ko e niʻihi kehe naʻa nau mahamahaki, taʻumotuʻa, pe maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fatongia fakafāmili. Ko e moʻoni, ko e ngaahi monū ʻe niʻihi ʻi he fakatahaʻangá naʻe ʻikai ke ʻatā ia ki he kotoa ʻo e kau ākongá. Ko e kau fefine paní mo e kau tangata pani ʻe niʻihi naʻe ʻikai te nau faiako ʻi he fakatahaʻangá. (1 Kolinito 14:34; 1 Timote 3:1; Semisi 3:1) Kae kehe, ko e hā pē honau tuʻunga fakafoʻituituí, ko e kotoa ʻo e kau ākonga pani ʻa Kalaisí—ʻa e tangata mo e fefine—naʻe vaheʻi ke nau kau ʻi he ngāué, ʻi hono ngāueleleiʻaki honau ngaahi faingamālié mo e ngaahi tuʻungá ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekau faka-Kalisitiané. Ko honau hoatatau ʻi onopōní ʻoku nau fai ʻa e meʻa tatau.

15 ʻOku hoko atu ʻa e pealapelí: “Fuoloa fuoloa pea haʻu ʻa e ʻeiki ʻa e kau tamaioʻeiki ko ia, ʻo ne sivi ʻenau tohi.” (Mātiu 25:19) ʻI he 1914—ko ha taimi lōloa moʻoni hili ʻa e 33 T.S.—naʻe kamata ai ʻe Kalaisi Sīsū ʻa ʻene ʻi ai fakatuʻí. ʻI he taʻu ʻe tolu mo e konga ki mui aí, ʻi he 1918, naʻá ne haʻu ai ki he temipale fakalaumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Pitá: “Ko e kuonga ʻeni ke kamata ʻa e fakamāu mei he ʻapi ʻo e ʻOtua.” (1 Pita 4:17; Malakai 3:1) Naʻe taimi ke sivi ʻenau tohí.

17. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e ‘hu ki he fiefiaaga o honau eikí’ ʻa e kau Kalisitiane pani anga-tonú?
17 Ko e taimi utu-taʻú ko ha taimi fakafiefia ia. (Sāme 126:6) ʻI he taimi naʻe tuku ai ʻe Sīsū ʻi he 1919 ki hono fanga tokoua pani anga-tonú ʻa e fatongia fakalahí, ʻoku feʻungamālie leva ʻa ʻene pehē: “Kuo ke fai totonu i he mea jii, teu fakanofo koe ke ke bule ki he mea lahi: hu koe ki he fiefiaaga o hoo eiki.” (Fakaʻītali ʻamautolu; Mātiu 25:21, 23, PM) ʻIkai ngata aí, ko e fiefia ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he tuʻunga ko e Tuʻi fakanofo foʻou ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku mahulu atu ia ʻi heʻetau fakakaukaulotó.
