2. ʻOku mahuʻinga fēfē ʻa e fakamaau totonú kia Sihova, pea ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke tau makupusi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e fakamaau totonu fakaʻotuá?
2 ʻI he fekauʻaki mo Sihová, ʻoku fakapapauʻi mai ʻe he Tohitapú kiate kitautolu: “Ko ʻene ngaahi founga kotoa ʻoku fakakonisitutone [“fakamaau totonu,” NW].” (Teutalonome 32:4) Ka ʻi ha māmani kuo tofanga ʻi he fakamaau taʻetotonú, ʻoku ʻikai faingofua ai ke makupusi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e fakamaau totonu fakaʻotuá. Kae kehe, fakafou mai ʻi he ngaahi peesi ʻo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku lava ai ke tau ʻilo ʻa e founga ʻoku fakahoko ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e fakamaau totonú, pea ʻoku lava ke tau hoko ai ʻo houngaʻia ʻi he ngaahi founga fisifisimuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo toe lahi ange. (Loma 11:33) Ko hono mahinoʻi ʻo e fakamaau totonú ʻi he ʻuhinga faka-Tohitapú ʻoku mahuʻinga koeʻuhi ko ʻetau fakakaukau ki he fakamaau totonú ʻe lava nai ke tākiekina lelei ia ʻe he ngaahi fakakaukau fakaetangatá. Mei he anga ʻo e fakakaukau ʻa e tangatá, ʻoku pehē nai ia ai ko e fakamaau totonú ʻoku ʻikai toe ʻi ai hano ʻuhinga ka ko hono ngāueʻaki totonu pē ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e laó. Pe hangē ko ia naʻe tohi ʻe filōsefa Francis Bacon, “ko e fakamaau totonú ʻoku kau ki ai hono ʻoange ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tuha mo iá.” Kae kehe, ko e fakamaau totonu ia ʻa Sihová ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e meʻa lahi ʻaupito ange ia.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e fakamaau totonu fakaʻotuá pea moʻui ʻo fehoanaki mo ia, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe he palōfita ko ʻAiseá. ʻOku hā mahino, ko e fakamaau totonu ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku kau ai ʻa e feangainga anga-fakaalaala ki he kakai ʻoku fakafeʻātungiaʻí.

8. Ko e hā naʻe hoko ai ʻa e fakamaau totonú mo e māʻoniʻoni moʻoní ʻo ʻuliʻulilātai ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí?
8 Ko ha fakamahino pehē ʻo e natula ʻo e fakamaau totonu ʻa Sihová naʻe tautefito hono fiemaʻú ʻi he ʻuluaki senituli T.S. Ko e kau mātuʻa mo e kau taki lotu Siú—ko e kau sikalaipé, kau Fālesí, mo e niʻihi kehe—naʻa nau talaki mo fakatātaaʻi ha fakakaukau mioʻi fekauʻaki mo e fakamaau totonú mo e māʻoniʻoní.

Naʻá ne fili ʻa ʻene kau ākongá mei he lotolotonga ʻo e kakai lāuvalé ni, pea naʻá ne akoʻi kinautolu ki he ngaahi tuʻunga māʻoniʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá.—Mātiu 9:36; 11:28-30.

Naʻe taki atu kinautolu ʻe he ngaahi feinga peheé ʻo nau “laka ʻi he fakamāu totonu mo e ʻofa fakaʻotua.” (Luke 11:42) Naʻa nau hā ngali māʻoniʻoni ki tuʻa, ka ʻi lotó naʻa nau ‘pito ʻi he maumau lao,’ pe taʻemāʻoniʻoni.
