“Ke ʻOua Naʻa Mou Hu ki ha ʻAhiʻahi”
“Leʻo pe mo lotu [hokohoko]; ke ʻoua naʻa mou hu ki ha ʻahiʻahi.”—MĀTIU 26:41.
NAʻE lahi ʻa e tengé—ʻo ʻikai tatau ia mo ha meʻa naʻá ne hokosia ki muʻa. Ko Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, naʻe ofi ia ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻene moʻui fakaemāmaní. Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻe vave ʻa hono puke iá, ʻo fakahalaiaʻi ki he maté pea tutuki ʻi ha ʻakau fakamamahi. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ko ʻene fili mo e ngāue kotoa pē ʻe tapua atu ai ʻa e huafa ʻo ʻene Tamaí.

2 Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Sīsū ki he ngoue ko Ketisemaní mo ʻene kau ākongá. Ko ha feituʻu ia naʻe lata ki ai ʻa Sīsū. ʻI aí naʻá ne mavahe ai ʻo mamaʻo siʻi atu mei heʻene kau ākongá. ʻI heʻene tokotahá, naʻá ne hanga ki heʻene Tamai fakahēvaní ki ha mālohi, ʻo lilingi hono lotó kiate ia ʻi he lotu tōtōivi—ʻo ʻikai tuʻo taha pē kae tuʻo tolu. Neongo ʻene haohaoá, naʻe ʻikai ke ongoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻe lava ke ne fehangahangai mo e tengé ʻiate ia pē.—Mātiu 26:36-44.
3 ʻI he ʻahó ni, ko kitautolu foki ʻoku tau ʻi he malumalu ʻo e tenge. Ki muʻa ʻi he polosiua ko ení, naʻa tau lāulea ai ki he fakamoʻoni ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosi ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu fulikivanu ko ení. Ko e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻi he māmani ʻo Sētané ʻoku fakalalahi. Ko e ngaahi fili mo e ngaahi ngāue ʻa ha taha pē ʻo kitautolu ʻoku taku ʻokú ne tauhi ki he ʻOtua moʻoní, ʻoku tapua atu ai ʻa hono huafá pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻene kaunga lahi ki heʻetau ngaahi ʻamanaki tāutaha ki he moʻui ʻi heʻene māmani foʻoú. ʻOku tau ʻofa kia Sihova. ʻOku tau loto ke ‘kataki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻangá’—ʻa e ngataʻanga ʻo ʻetau moʻuí pe ko e ngataʻanga ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu ko ení, ko fē pē ʻe ʻuluaki hoko maí. (Mātiu 24:13) Ka ʻe lava fēfē ke tau tauhi maʻu ʻetau ongoʻi ʻa e fakavavevavé pea hanganaki leʻó?

Ko e hā ʻa e ʻahiʻahi ʻokú ke fehangahangai mo iá? Pea ʻe lava fēfē ke ke “leʻo”?
ʻAhiʻahi ke Fai ʻa e Hā?
5 Ko kitautolu kotoa ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo e ʻahiʻahi ke tukulolo ki he “tauhele ʻa e Tevolo.” (2 Timote 2:26) ʻOku fakatokanga mai ʻa e Tohi Tapú kia kitautolu ʻoku tāketi ʻa Sētane tautefito ki he kau lotu ʻa Sihová. (1 Pita 5:8; Fakahā 12:12, 17) Ki he taumuʻa ko e hā? ʻOku ʻikai ko e ʻuhinga tefitó ke toʻo ʻetau moʻuí. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha ikuna ia kia Sētane kapau ʻoku tau mate faitōnunga ki he ʻOtuá. ʻOku lāuʻilo ʻa Sētane ko Sihova, ʻi Heʻene taimi kotofá, te ne toʻo ʻa e maté fakafou ʻi he toetuʻú.—Luke 20:37, 38.
6 ʻOku loto ʻa Sētane ke ne fakaʻauha ʻa e meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga ange ia ʻi heʻetau moʻui lolotongá—ko ʻetau anga-tonu ki he ʻOtuá. ʻOku holiholivale ʻa Sētane ke ne fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe lava ke ne fakatafokiʻi kitautolu meia Sihova. Ko ia ai, kapau ʻe lava ke fakataueleʻi kitautolu ke tau hoko ʻo taʻefaitōnunga—ke liʻaki ʻa hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí pe ke liʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga faka-Kalisitiané—ʻe hoko ia ko ha ikuna kia Sētane! (Efeso 6:11-13) Ko ia ko e “Toko-Taha-Fakatauele” ʻokú ne fokotuʻu mai ʻi hotau ʻaó ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi.—Mātiu 4:3.

Ka ko e taha ʻo ʻene ngaahi founga ola lelei tahá ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e fakalotosiʻí. Ko ha tokotaha fakasio-faingamālie kākā, ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ko e ongoʻi siva ʻa e ʻamanakí ʻe lava ke ne fakavaivaiʻi kitautolu, ʻo ʻai kitautolu ke tau laveangofua. (Palovepi 24:10) Ko ia ʻokú ne ʻahiʻahiʻi kitautolu ke tau foʻi, tautefito ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau hoko ai ʻo “laiki” fakaeongó.—Sāme 38:8.

(Sio ki he puha “Ngaahi Meʻa ʻOku Nau Fakatupunga ʻa e Loto-Siʻí.”) Ko e hā pē ʻa e tupuʻangá, ko e loto-siʻí ʻe lava ke ne fakavaivaiʻi ʻa hotau mālohí. Ko e “fakatau mai ʻa e taimi faingamālié” ki he ngaahi fatongia fakalaumālié—kau ai ʻa hono ako ʻa e Tohi Tapú, maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané mo e kau ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú—ʻe lava ke hoko ia ko ha pole kapau ʻokú ke ongosia fakaesino, fakaʻatamai mo fakaeongo. (Efeso 5:15, 16, NW) Manatuʻi ko e Tokotaha-Fakatauelé ʻokú ne loto ke ke foʻi. Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e taimi eni ke māmālie ai pe ke mole ʻa hoʻo ongoʻi fakavavevave fekauʻaki mo e taimi ʻa ia ʻoku tau moʻui aí! (Luke 21:34-36) ʻE lava fēfē ke ke talitekeʻi ʻa e ʻahiʻahí pea hanganaki leʻo? Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi fokotuʻu ʻe fā ʻa ia ʻe lava ke tokoni.
‘Lotu Hokohoko’
9 Falala kia Sihova fakafou ʻi he lotu. Manatuʻi ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsū ʻi he ngoue ko Ketisemaní. ʻI he malumalu ʻo e faingataʻaʻia fakaeongo lahí, ko e hā naʻá ne faí? Naʻá ne hanga kia Sihova ki ha tokoni, ʻo ne lotu mātuʻaki tōtōivi ʻo “hoko ʻene tautaʻa ʻo hange ko e ngaahi tulutā taʻataʻa, ʻo vangana ki [he] kelekele.” (Luke 22:44) Fakakaukau atu fekauʻaki mo ia. Naʻe ʻiloʻi lelei ʻe Sīsū ʻa Sētane. Naʻe siofi hifo ʻe Sīsū mei hēvani ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kotoa ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe Sētane ʻi heʻene ngaahi feinga ke fakataueleʻi ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá. Neongo ia, naʻe ʻikai ongoʻi ʻe Sīsū te ne lavangofua ke ikuʻi ha meʻa pē ʻe fokotuʻu mai nai ʻi hono ʻaó ʻe he Tokotaha-Fakatauelé. Kapau ko e ʻAlo haohaoa ē ʻo e ʻOtuá naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻa e fiemaʻu ke lotu ki ha tokoni mo e mālohi fakaʻotuá, huanoa hake ai ʻa e fiemaʻu kia kitautolú!—1 Pita 2:21.
10 Manatuʻi foki, ʻi he hili ʻa e ekinaki ki heʻene kau ākongá ke ‘lotu hokohokó,’ naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “ʻOku loto pe ʻa laumalie ke fai, ka ʻoku vaivai ʻa kakano.” (Mātiu 26:41) Ko e kakano ʻo hai naʻe ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa Sīsuú? ʻOku ʻikai moʻoni ko hoʻoná; naʻe ʻikai ha vaivai ʻi hono kakano haohaoa fakaetangatá. (1 Pita 2:22) Ka naʻe kehe ʻa e tuʻunga ia ʻo ʻene kau ākongá. Koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi hehema taʻehaohaoa mo angahalaʻia tukufakaholó, te nau fiemaʻu tautefito ai ʻa e tokoni ke talitekeʻi ʻa e ʻahiʻahí. (Loma 7:21-24) Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻá ne ekinaki ai kia kinautolu—mo e kau Kalisitiane moʻoni kotoa ki mui ʻia kinautolú—ke nau lotu ki ha tokoni ʻi he fehangahangai mo e ʻahiʻahí. (Mātiu 6:13) ʻOku tali ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi lotu ko iá. (Sāme 65:2) Anga-fēfē? ʻIkai siʻi hifo ʻi he founga ʻe ua.
11 ʻUluakí, ʻoku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí. Ko e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻa Sētané ʻoku hangē ha ngaahi tauhele ʻoku laku holo ʻi ha hala fakapoʻulí. Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ke sio ki ai, te ke fihia nai ai. Fakafou ʻi he Tohi Tapú mo e ʻū tohi makatuʻunga ʻi he Tohi Tapú, ʻoku fakaeʻa ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi tauhele ʻa Sētané, ʻo ʻai ai ke tau malava ʻo fakaʻehiʻehi mei he tō ki he ʻahiʻahí. ʻI he faai mai ʻa e ngaahi taʻú, ko e ʻū tohi kuo pulusí mo e ngaahi polokalama ki he fakataha-lahí mo e ʻasemipilií kuo toutou fakatokanga mai ai kia kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki hangē ko e manavahē ki he tangatá, ʻulungāanga taʻetaau fakaefehokotaki fakasinó, tuli ki he meʻa fakamatelié mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi fakasētane kehé. (Palovepi 29:25; 1 Kolinito 10:8-11; 1 Timote 6:9, 10) ʻIkai ʻokú ke houngaʻia ʻia Sihova ʻi heʻene fakatokanga mai kia kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi fāliunga ʻa Sētané? (2 Kolinito 2:11) Ko e ngaahi fakatokanga peheé kotoa ko ha tali ia ki hoʻo ngaahi lotu ki ha tokoni ki hono talitekeʻi ʻo e ʻahiʻahí.
12 Uá, ʻoku tali ʻe Sihova ʻetau ngaahi lotú ʻaki hono ʻomai kia kitautolu ʻa e mālohi ke kātekina ʻa e ʻahiʻahí. ʻOku pehē ʻe heʻene Folofolá: “Ko e ʻOtua . . . ʻe ʻikai te ne fakangofua ke ʻahiʻahiʻi kimoutolu ʻo makehe atu ʻi hoʻomou mafai; kae kehe, te ne ngaohi fakataha mo e ʻahiʻahi hono haoʻanga foki mei ai, koeʻuhi ke lava hono katakiʻi.” (1 Kolinito 10:13) ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito fakaʻatā ʻe he ʻOtuá ha ʻahiʻahi ke hoko ʻo mātuʻaki taulōfuʻu ʻo ʻikai ai te tau maʻu ʻa e mālohi fakalaumālie ke talitekeʻi ia—kapau ʻoku tau hokohoko atu ʻa e falala kiate iá. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻene ʻomai ʻa e “haoʻanga” kia kitautolú? ʻOkú ne “foaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia.” (Luke 11:13) Ko e laumālie ko iá te ne tokoniʻi nai kitautolu ke manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻi he Tohi Tapú ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ne ʻai ke mālohi ʻetau fakapapau ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonú pea tokoniʻi kitautolu ke fai ʻa e ngaahi fili fakapotopoto.

(Kaletia 5:22, 23) Ko e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻe aʻu nai ʻo ne ueʻi ʻa e kaungātuí ke nau hoko ko ha ‘fakafiemalie kiate kitautolu.’ (Kolose 4:11) ʻIkai ʻoku mou fakamālō ʻi he tali ʻa Sihova ʻi ha ngaahi founga ʻofa pehē ki hoʻomou ngaahi lotu ki ha tokoní?
