Ko e Kupenga Toho

15, 16. (a) Fakanounouʻi mai ʻa e talanoa fakatātā ʻo e kupenga tohó. (e) Ko e hā ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he kupenga tohó, pea ko e hā ʻa e tafaʻaki ʻo e tupu ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻoku fakahuʻunga ki ai ʻa e talanoa fakatātā ko ení?

¹⁵ Ko e meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga ange ʻo ʻikai ko e tokolahi ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku taku ko e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ko e tuʻunga lelei ʻo e kau ākonga ko iá. ʻOku fakahuʻunga ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tafaʻaki ko eni ʻo e tupu ʻa e Puleʻangá ʻi he ʻene fai ha toe talanoa fakatātā ʻe taha, ko e talanoa fekauʻaki mo ha kupenga toho. Naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku tatau foki ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani mo ha uloa [pe kupenga toho] ne to ʻi tahi, ʻo ne haʻo ʻa e ngāhi faʻahinga ika kotoa.”​—Mt. 13:47.

¹⁶ Ko e kupenga tohó, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ngāue malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá, ʻokú ne haʻo ʻa e ika ʻo e faʻahinga kotoa pē. ʻOku hoko atu ʻa Sīsū ʻo pehē: “Pea ʻi heʻene fonu [ʻa e kupenga tohó] naʻa nau toho hake ki he matāʻoneʻone, ʻo nau nofo hifo ʻo faʻo kato ʻa e ʻaonga, kae liʻaki ʻa e kovi [pe ʻikai ʻaongá]. ʻE pehe ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻo mamani: ʻe ʻalu atu ʻa e kau angelo, pea te nau vaheʻi mai ʻa e kakai kovi mei he lotolotonga ʻo e failelei, pea te nau laku kinautolu ki he fonise afi. Ko e potu ia ʻe toki hoko ai ʻa e tangi mo e fengaiʻitaki ʻo e nifo.”​—Mt. 13:48-50.

17. Ko e vahevaheʻi ko ia ʻoku lave ki ai ʻi he talanoa fakatātā ʻo e kupenga tohó ko e lave ia ki he vahaʻa taimi fē?

¹⁷ Ko e lave koā ʻa e vahevaheʻi ko ení ki he fakamāuʻi fakaʻosi ʻo e sipí mo e kosí ʻa ē naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ʻe hoko ʻi he taimi te ne ʻi hono lāngilangí aí? (Mt. 25:31-33) ʻIkai. Ko e fakamaau fakaʻosi ko iá ʻe hoko ia ʻi he haʻu ʻa Sīsū lolotonga ʻa e mamahi lahí. Ko hono kehé, ko e vahevaheʻi ia ko eni ʻoku lave ki ai ʻa e talanoa fakatātā ʻo e kupenga tohó ʻoku hoko ia lolotonga ʻo e “fakaʻosi ʻo mamani.”b Ko e taimi eni ʻa ē ʻoku tau lolotonga moʻui aí​—ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ʻoku taki atu ki he mamahi lahí. Ko ia ʻoku anga-fēfē leva hono fai ʻo e ngāue vahevaheʻí ʻi he taimi ní?

18, 19. (a) ʻOku fēfē ʻa e ngāue vahevaheʻi ʻoku lolotonga fakahoko he taimi ní? (e) Ko e ha ʻa e sitepu ʻoku totonu ke laka ai ʻa kinautolu kau loto-totonú? (Sio foki ki he fakamatala ʻi lalo ʻi he peesi 21.)

¹⁸ ʻOku ʻi ai moʻoni ʻa e laui miliona ʻo e ika fakaefakatātā mei he tahi ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá kuo tohoaki ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻa Sihova ʻi onopōní. Ko e niʻihi kuo nau ʻalu ki he Fakamanatú, ko e niʻihi kuo omi ki heʻetau ngaahi fakatahá, pea ko e niʻihi ʻoku nau fiefia ke ako ʻa e Tohi Tapú. Ka ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi kotoa ʻa e fakahingá ni ko e kau Kalisitiane moʻoni? Mahalo pē ko kinautolú ʻoku “toho hake ki he matāʻoneʻone,” ka ʻoku tala mai ʻe Sīsū ko kinautolu pē ʻoku “ʻaonga” ʻe faʻo kató, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané. Ka ko e ika ʻoku ʻikai ʻaongá ʻoku liʻaki, pea ʻe iku atu ia ʻo laku ki ha fōnise afi fakaefakatātā ko hono ʻuhingá ko e fakaʻauha ʻi he kahaʻú.

¹⁹ Ka ko e ika ʻoku ʻikai ʻaongá, ʻa e tokolahi ko ē naʻe ako ki muʻa ʻa e Tohi Tapú mo e kakai ʻa Sihová kuo tuku ʻenau akó. Ko e niʻihi ne fanauʻi mai ʻe ha ongo mātuʻa Kalisitiane kuo ʻikai ʻaupito te nau fie hoko ko e kau muimui molomolo muivaʻe ʻo Sīsū. Kuo nau taʻeloto ke fai ha fili ke tauhi ʻa Sihova, pe hili haʻanau tauhi kiate ia ʻi ha taimi kuo tuku leva ʻenau fai peheé.c (Isi. 33:32, 33) Ka ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ke hanga ʻe he faʻahinga ʻoku loto-totonú ʻo fakaʻatā kinautolu ke faʻo ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga hangē ha kató ki muʻa ʻi he ʻaho fakamaau fakaʻosí pea nofo maʻu ʻi ha feituʻu malu.

20, 21. (a) Ko e hā kuo tau ako mei hono fakamanatu ʻo e ngaahi talanoa fakatātā ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e tupú? (e) Ko e hā ʻokú ke fakapapau ke faí?

²⁰ Ko ia, ko e hā kuo tau ako mei heʻetau fakamanatu nounou ko eni ʻo e ngaahi talanoa fakatātā ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e tupú? ʻUluakí, hangē ko e tupu ʻa e tengaʻi mūsitá, kuo ʻi ai ʻa e tupu fakamanavahē ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻi heni ʻi māmani. Heʻikai lava taʻofi ʻe ha meʻa ʻa e mafola ʻa e ngāue ʻa Sihová! (Ai. 54:17) Tānaki atu ki aí, kuo tokonaki mai ha maluʻanga fakalaumālie kia kinautolu kuo kumi “ke nofo ʻi hono malu [ʻo e fuʻu mūsitá].” Uá, ko e ʻOtuá ia ʻokú ne ʻai ia ke tupú. Hangē pē ko e puli ʻa e hūhū ʻa e lēvaní ʻi he mahoaʻá kotoa, ko e tupu ko ení kuo ʻikai faʻa ala ʻiloʻi ia mo mahinoʻi, ka ʻoku mafola pē ia! Tolú, ʻoku ʻikai ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau tali iá kuo fakamoʻoniʻi ʻoku nau ʻaongá. Ko e niʻihi kuo hangē ko e ika ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ko ē ʻi he talanoa fakatātā ʻa Sīsuú.
