ʻOkú Ke Fehiʻa ki he Maumau-Laó?
‘ʻOkú ke [Sīsū] fehiʻa ki he maumau laó.’—HEP. 1:9.
1. Ko e hā naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e ʻofá?
ʻI HONO fakamamafaʻi ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e ʻofá, naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ki heʻene kau ākongá: “Ko e tuʻutuʻuni foʻou ʻoku ou tuku kiate kimoutolu, ke mou feʻofaʻaki: hange ā ko ʻeku ʻofaʻi kimoutolu, ke pehē foki hoʻomou feʻofaʻaki. Ko e meʻa kó é ʻe ʻilo ai ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ko e kau ako kimoutolu aʻaku, ʻo kapau ʻe ai haʻamou feʻofaʻaki.” (Sione 13:34, 35) Naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa hono kau muimuí ke nau fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofa feilaulauʻi-kita fakaekinautolu. Ko e ʻofa ko iá ʻe hoko ko e meʻa ia ʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻaki kinautolú. Naʻe toe ekinaki ʻa Sīsū kia kinautolu: “Mou ʻofaʻi homou ngāhi fili, pea hufia ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau fakatangaʻi kimoutolu.”—Mt. 5:44.
2. Ko e kau muimui ʻo Kalaisí ʻoku totonu ke nau fakatupulekina ha fehiʻa ki he hā?
2 Kae kehe, ʻi he tānaki atu ki hono akoʻi ʻa ʻene kau ākongá fekauʻaki mo e ʻofá, naʻe akoʻi kinautolu ʻe Sīsū ki he meʻa ke nau fehiʻa ai. Naʻe pehē fekauʻaki mo Sīsū: “Ne ke manako ki he faitotonu [‘māʻoniʻoní,’ NW] ka ke fehiʻa ki he maumau lao [fulikivanú].” (Hep. 1:9; Sāme 45:7) ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻi he meʻá ni kuo pau ke tau fakatupulekina ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he ʻofa ki he māʻoniʻoní kae pehē foki ki ha fehiʻa ki he angahalá, pe maumau-laó. ʻOku taau ke fakatokangaʻi naʻe fakahaaʻi hangatonu ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Sioné: “Ko ia kotoa pe ʻoku fai angahala ʻoku ne maumau foki ʻa e lao: ʻio, ko e angahala ko e maumau lao ia.”—1 Sione 3:4.
3. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e fehiʻa ki he maumau-laó, ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tafaʻaki ʻi he moʻuí ʻe lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu ko ení?

Tauhi ʻa e ʻOlokaholó ʻi Hono Tuʻunga Totonú
4. Ko e hā naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tauʻatāina ke leá ʻi heʻene fakatokanga fekauʻaki mo e inu lahí?
4 Naʻe inu uaine ʻa Sīsū ʻi he taimi ki he taimi, ʻi hono ʻiloʻi ko ha meʻaʻofa ia mei he ʻOtuá. (Sāme 104:14, 15) Kae kehe, naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne ngāuekoviʻaki ʻa e meʻaʻofa ko ení ʻaki ʻene fakatuia ʻa e inu lahí. (Pal. 23:29-33) Ko ia naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tauʻatāina ke lea ʻi heʻene fai ha akonaki fekauʻaki mo e tōʻonga peheé. (Lau ʻa e Luke 21:34.) Ko e ngāuekoviʻaki ʻa e ʻolokaholó ʻe lava ke taki atu ia ki he ngaahi angahala mamafa kehe. Ko ia ai, naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “ʻOua te mou konā ʻi he uaine, he ʻoku ʻi ai ha fakalusa ʻi he fai pehe; ka ke fakafonu kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e Laumalie.” (Ef. 5:18) Naʻá ne toe naʻinaʻi ki he kau fefine taʻumotuʻa ʻi he fakatahaʻangá ke ʻoua te nau hoko ʻo “popula ki he inu kava lahi.”—Tai. 2:3.
5. Ko e hā e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻe ʻeke nai kia kinautolu ʻe he faʻahinga ʻoku nau fili ke inu ʻolokaholó?
5 Kapau ʻokú ke fili ke inu ʻolokaholo, ʻe toe lelei ke ke ʻeke hifo: ‘ʻOku ou maʻu ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa Sīsū ki he inu lahí? Kapau ʻoku fiemaʻu ke u akonakiʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻi he meʻá ni, ʻoku ou maʻu ʻa e tauʻatāina ke leá? ʻOku ou inu ke hao ai mei he hohaʻá pe ke fakanonga ʻa e loto-mafasiá?

Ko e kau muimui ʻo Kalaisí ʻoku nau feinga mālohi ke tauhi pe maluʻi ʻenau malava fakaefakakaukaú.—Pal. 3:21, 22.

6 Lolotonga ʻene ʻi māmaní, naʻe fakafepakiʻi mālohi ʻe Sīsū ʻa Sētane mo ʻene kau tēmenioó. Naʻá ne talitekeʻi ʻa e ʻohofi fakahangatonu ʻe Sētane ʻa ʻene mateakí. (Luke 4:1-13) Naʻá ne toe ʻiloʻi pea talitekeʻi ʻa e ngaahi feinga olopoto ke tākiekina ʻa ʻene fakakaukaú mo ʻene ngaahi tōʻongá. (Mt. 16:21-23) Naʻe tokoniʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e faʻahinga tāú ke nau hao mei hono puleʻi anga-fakamamahi ʻe he kau tēmenioó.—Mk. 5:2, 8, 12-15; 9:20, 25-27.
7 Hili hono fakanofo ʻa Sīsū ko e Tuʻí ʻi he 1914, naʻá ne fakamaʻa ʻa hēvani mei he tākiekina fakameleʻi ʻa Sētane mo ʻene kau tēmenioó. Ko hono olá, ko Sētané ʻokú ne fakapapauʻi—ʻi he taimí ni ʻo laka ia ʻi ha toe taimi—ke “kākāʻi ʻa mamani kātoa.” (Fkh. 12:9, 10) ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke hoko leva ʻo fakaʻohovale kia kitautolu ʻa e mafolalahia mo e tupulaki ʻa e toʻoa ʻi he faimaná. Ko e hā e ngaahi founga ʻe lava ke tau fai ke maluʻi ai kitautolú?
8. Ko e hā ʻa e sivisiviʻi-kita ʻoku totonu ke tau fai fekauʻaki mo ʻetau fili ʻa e fakafiefiá?
8 ʻOku fakatokanga mahino ʻa e Tohi Tapú fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku fehokotaki mo e fakahaʻele faʻahikehé. (Lau ʻa e Teutalonome 18:10-12.) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku tākiekina ʻe Sētane mo e kau tēmenioó ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa e kakaí fakafou ʻi he ngaahi faivá, ngaahi tohí mo e ngaahi keimi fakaʻilekitulōnika ʻoku pouaki ai ʻa e ngaahi tōʻonga fakafaimaná. Ko ia ai, ʻi hono fili ʻa e fakafiefiá, ko kitautolu taki taha ʻoku totonu ke tau ʻeke hifo: ‘ʻI he ngaahi māhina kuohilí, kuó u fili ke fakafiefiaʻi au ʻe he ngaahi faiva, polokalama TV, ngaahi keimi fakaʻilekitulōnika, ngaahi tohi, pe kōmiki ʻoku fakaʻaliʻali ai ʻa e ngaahi tōʻonga fakafaʻahikehé? ʻOku ou mahinoʻi ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo hono talitekeʻi ʻa e ngaahi tākiekina fakafaimaná, pe ʻoku ou ʻai ke hā ngali ʻikai mafatukituki ʻa e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ko ení? Kuo aʻu nai ʻou fakakaukau ki he anga ʻo e ongoʻi nai ʻa Sihova fekauʻaki mo ʻeku fili ʻa e fakafiefiá? Kapau kuó u fakaava ʻa e matapā ki he ngaahi tākiekina fakasētane peheé, ʻe hanga ʻe heʻeku ʻofa kia Sihova mo ʻene ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni māʻoniʻoní ʻo ueʻi au ke u ngāue ʻosi fakapapauʻi ʻo tāpuniʻi ʻa e matapā ko iá?’—Ng. 19:19, 20.
Tokanga ki he Fakatokanga ʻa Sīsū Fekauʻaki mo e ʻUlungaanga Taʻetāú
9. ʻE anga-fēfē nai hono fakatupulekina ʻe ha taha ʻa e ʻofa ki he maumau-laó?
9 Naʻe pouaki ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tuʻunga ʻa Sihova fekauʻaki mo e ʻulungaanga taau fakaefehokotaki fakasinó. Naʻá ne pehē: “Ne ʻikai te mou lau koā, Ko ia naʻa ne ngaohi ʻa e kakai ʻi he kamataʻanga naʻa ne ngaohi tangata mo fefine kinautolu; mo ne folofola, Ko e meʻa ko ia ʻe tuku ai ʻe ha tangata ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻe, ka ne pikitai ki hono uaifi: pea ʻe hoko ʻa e toko ua ko e kakano pe taha? Ta ʻoku ʻikai te na kei ua, ka ko e kakano pe taha. ʻAua; pea ko e meʻa kuo fakahoko ʻe he ʻOtua, ke ʻoua naʻa fakamavae ʻe ha tangata.” (Mt. 19:4-6) Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Sīsū ko e meʻa ʻoku tau sio ki ai ʻaki hotau matá ʻe lava ke ne uesia hotau lotó. ʻI heʻene Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá, naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ai: “Kuo mou fanongo naʻe folofolaʻaki, ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine: ka ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu ʻe au, ʻIlonga ʻa ia te ne fakasio ki ha fefine ke tafunaki ʻene holi ki ai, kuo ne tonoʻi ia ʻi hono loto.” (Mt. 5:27, 28) Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau tukunoaʻi ʻa e fakatokanga ʻa Sīsuú ko hono moʻoní ʻoku nau fakatupulekina ʻa e ʻofa ki he maumau-laó.
10. Fakamatala ki ha hokosia ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻe lava ke ʻatā ha tokotaha mei he ʻata fakalieliá.
10 ʻOku pouaki ʻe Sētane ʻa e ʻulungaanga taʻetaau fakaefehokotaki fakasinó fakafou ʻi he ʻata fakalieliá. Ko e fokotuʻutuʻu lolotongá ʻoku fonu ai ia. Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau sio ʻi he ʻata fakalieliá ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ʻoku faingataʻa ke toʻo ʻa e ngaahi ʻata taʻetāú mei honau ʻatamaí. ʻOku aʻu ʻo lava ke hoko ʻo maʻunimā kinautolu ʻe he ʻata fakalieliá. Fakakaukau angé ki he meʻa naʻe hoko ki ha Kalisitiane ʻe taha. ʻOkú ne pehē: “Naʻá ku sio fakapulipuli ʻi he ʻata fakalieliá. Naʻá ku faʻu ha māmani fakaʻānaua ʻa ia naʻá ku fakakaukau naʻe mavahe ia mei he māmani naʻá ku tauhi ai kia Sihová. Naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ko e tōʻongá ni naʻe hala ka naʻá ku pehē pē kiate au naʻe kei ala tali pē ʻeku ngāue ki he ʻOtuá.” Ko e hā naʻá ne liliu ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa e tokoua ko ení? ʻOkú ne fakahaaʻi: “Neongo ko e meʻa faingataʻa taha ia kuo faifai ange peá u faí, naʻá ku fili ke talanoa ki he kau mātuʻá fekauʻaki mo ʻeku palopalemá.” Ko e tokouá ni naʻe faifai pē ʻo ne ʻatā mei he tōʻonga ololalo ko ení. “Hili ʻeku fakamaʻa ʻa ʻeku moʻuí mei he angahala ko ení,” ko ʻene fakahāʻí ia, “naʻe faifai pē ʻou ongoʻi kuó u maʻu ha konisēnisi maʻa.” Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fehiʻa ʻi he maumau-laó kuo pau ke nau ako ke fehiʻa ʻi he ʻata fakalieliá.
11, 12. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakahaaʻi ʻa e fehiʻa ki he maumau-laó ʻi heʻene hoko mai ki heʻetau fili ʻa e fasí?
11 Ko e fasí mo hono ngaahi lea ʻoku haʻu fakataha mo iá ʻoku lava ke ne tākiekina mālohi ʻetau ngaahi ongoʻí pea pehē foki ki hotau lotó. Ko e fasí ʻiate ia pē ko ha meʻaʻofa ia mei he ʻOtuá pea kuo fuoloa hono ngāueʻaki ʻi he lotu moʻoní. (Eki. 15:20, 21; Ef. 5:19) Ka ko e māmani fulikivanu ʻa Sētané ʻokú ne pouaki ʻa e fasi ʻoku fakahīkihikiʻi ai ʻa e ʻulungaanga taʻetāú. (1 Sione 5:19) ʻE lava fēfē ke ke tala pe ko e fasi ʻokú ke fanongo ki aí ʻokú ne fakameleʻi koe pe ʻikai?
12 Te ke kamata nai ʻaki hono ʻeke hifo kiate koe: ‘Ko e ngaahi hiva ʻoku ou fanongo ki aí ʻoku fakahīkihikiʻi ai ʻa e fakapoó, tonó, feʻauakí mo e laukoví? Kapau ʻe fiemaʻu ke u lau ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo ha ngaahi hiva pau ki ha taha, ʻe maʻu ʻe he tokotaha ko iá ʻa e fakakaukau ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki he maumau-laó, pe ʻe fakahaaʻi ʻi he ngaahi leá ʻoku fakameleʻi ʻa hoku lotó?’ Heʻikai lava ke tau fehiʻa ki he maumau-laó ʻi he leá lolotonga ʻoku tau fakahīkihikiʻi ia ʻi he hivá. “Ko e ngāhi meʻa ʻoku hu mei he ngutu ʻoku mei he loto,” ko e lea ia ʻa Sīsuú, “pea ko ʻena pe meʻa ʻoku ʻuli ai ʻa e tangata.

Maʻu ʻa e Vakai ʻa Sīsū ki he Faʻahinga ko Ia ʻOku ʻOfa ki he Maumau-Laó
13. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e vakai ʻa Sīsū ki he faʻahinga naʻa nau hoko ʻo loto-fefeka ʻi he angahalá?
13 Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū naʻá ne haʻú ke ui ʻa e kau angahalá, pe faʻahinga maumau-laó, ke nau fakatomala. (Luke 5:30-32) Ko ia ai, naʻe anga-fēfē ʻene vakai ki he faʻahinga naʻa nau hoko ʻo loto-fefeka ʻi ha ʻalunga ʻo e angahalá? Naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi fakatokanga mālohi fekauʻaki mo hano tākiekina ʻe he faʻahinga peheé. (Mt. 23:15, 23-26) Naʻá ne toe fakahaaʻi mahino: “ʻOku ʻikai ko ia pe ʻoku ne lau mai, ʻEī, ʻEī, te ne hū ki he Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani; ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi Hevani.

Koeʻuhi ko e faʻahinga peheé ʻoku nau taʻefakalāngilangiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá pea fakatupu maumau ki he niʻihi kehé ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi tōʻonga maumau-laó.
