12. (a) Ko e hā ne leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e maama fakalaumālié? (e) ʻE lava fēfē ke ulo atu ʻetau māmá?

¹² ʻOku tau tōʻongafai ki he kakaí ʻi he founga lelei taha ʻoku ala lavá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau tokoniʻi ai kinautolu ke nau maʻu ʻa e maama fakalaumālie mei he ʻOtuá. (Sāme 43:3) Naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá ko kinautolú “ko e māma ʻo mamani” peá ne fakaʻaiʻai kinautolu ke ulo atu ʻenau māmá koeʻuhi ke lava ʻo sio ʻa e kakaí ki heʻenau “ngāhi ngaue lelei,” pe ngaahi tōʻonga lelei ki he niʻihi kehé. ʻE iku eni ki he fakamaama fakalaumālie “ki he kakai,” pe ko e ʻaonga ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. (Lau ʻa e Mātiu 5:14-16.) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku ulo atu ʻetau māmá ʻi hono fai ʻa e ngāue lelei ki hotau ngaahi kaungāʻapí pea ʻi he kau ʻi he ngāue ko hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí “ʻi mamani katoa” ʻa ia ko e “ngaahi kakai kotoa pē.” (Mt. 26:13; Mk. 13:10) Ko ha monū moʻoni ia ʻoku tau maʻú!

15. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono ueʻi ʻe heʻetau “ngāhi ngaue lelei” ʻa e kakai ʻe niʻihi?

¹⁵ ʻI he hili ʻene lave ki ha maama ʻoku uló naʻe tala ai ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá: “Pehē foki, ke ulo atu hoʻomou māma ke hā ki he kakai, ke nau mamata ki hoʻomou ngāhi ngaue lelei, pea fakamāloʻia ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi Hevani.” Koeʻuhi ko ʻetau “ngāhi ngaue lelei” ʻoku “fakamāloʻia” ai ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻaki ʻenau hoko ko ʻene kau sevāniti. Ko ha fakaueʻiloto moʻoni ia kiate kitautolu ke tau hanganaki ‘ulo ko e ngaahi maamaʻanga ʻi mamani’!—Fili. 2:15.

16. ʻI he hoko “ko e māma ʻo mamani” ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ʻa e hā meiate kitautolu?

Ka ʻoku fiemaʻu meiate kitautolu ha toe meʻa kehe. “Mou laka ʻo tāu mo e fanau ʻa maama,” ko e tohi ia ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá, “he ko e fua ʻo e maama ʻoku fou ʻi he lelei kotoa pe mo e totonu mo e moʻoni.” (Ef. 5:8, 9) ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau hoko ko e ngaahi faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻoku ulo ʻo e ʻulungāanga fakaʻotuá. Ko e moʻoni, kuo pau ke tau tokanga ki he akonaki ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Pitá: “Mou ʻai ke tāu hoʻomou fakafeangai ki he Senitaile; koeʻuhi, ʻi he meʻa ʻoku nau lauʻikovi ai kimoutolu, tokua ko e faikovi, ke nau mamata ki hoʻomou ngaahi ngaue lelei, pea langaʻi ai ʻenau fakahikihikiʻi ʻa e ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e aʻahi.” (1 Pita 2:12) Ka ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke fai kapau ʻe tupulekina ha ngaahi vā fetēleni ʻi he kaungātuí?
