Ko Hono Mahinoʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú—Ko e Hā Te Ne Tokoniʻi Koé?
“I HOO fufu ae gaahi mea ni mei he kau boto moe fieiloilo, ka kuo ke fakaha ia ki he kau valevale.” (Luke 10:21, PM) Ko e ngaahi lea ko ʻeni naʻe fakahanga ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene Tamai fakahēvaní ʻoku hā mei ai ke mahinoʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú, kuo pau ke tau maʻu ʻa e fakakaukau totonu. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻa e poto ʻo Sihová ʻi heʻene tokonaki mai ha tohi ʻa ia ko e kakai anga-fakatōkilaló pē mo akoʻingofuá ʻoku malava ke nau mahinoʻi moʻoní.
ʻOku ʻikai ke faingofua ʻa e hoko mai ʻa e anga-fakatōkilaló ki he tokolahi taha ʻo kitautolu. ʻOku tau maʻu kotoa ha hehema tukufakaholo ke pōlepole. Tānaki atu ki ai, ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi he “kuonga fakamui,” ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kakai ʻoku nau “ʻofa kiate kinautolu pe, . . . ko e kau ʻohonoa, ko e kau loto ʻaoʻaofia ʻi he ʻafungi.” (2 Timote 3:1-4) Ko e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻeni ʻokú ne fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻi ʻa ʻetau mahinoʻi ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko hono pangó, ʻoku tākiekina kotoa kitautolu ʻi ha tuʻunga ʻe hotau ngaahi ʻātakaí. ʻE lava fēfē leva ke ke maʻu ʻa e fakakaukau ʻoku fiemaʻu ki hono mahinoʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú?
Ko Hono Teuʻi ʻa e Lotó mo e ʻAtamaí
Ko ʻĒsela, ko ha taki ʻo e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he kuonga muʻá, naʻá ne ‘tuku ʻa hono lotó ke feingaʻi ʻa e lao ʻa Sihová.’ (Esela 7:10) ʻOku ʻi ai ha founga ʻe lava ke tau teuʻi ai hotau lotó? ʻIo. ʻE lava ke tau kamata ʻaki hono maʻu ha vakai totonu ki he Tohi Tapú. Naʻe tohi ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he kaungā Kalisitiané: “I hoo mou maʻu ae folofola ae Otua aia ne mou fanogo ai iate kimautolu, nae ikai te mou maʻu ia o hage koe lea ae tagata, kae hage koia oku mooni, koe folofola ae Otua.” (1 Tesalonaika 2:13, PM) Neongo naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻa e kau tangata ke tohi ʻa e Tohi Tapú, ko e meʻa naʻa nau tohí naʻe meia Sihova. Ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻa e moʻoniʻi meʻa mahuʻinga ko iá te ne ʻai kitautolu ke tau ongongofua lahi ange ki he meʻa ʻoku tau laú.—2 Timote 3:16.
Ko e toe founga ʻe taha ke teuʻi ai hotau lotó ko e lotu. Koeʻuhi naʻe fakamānavaʻi ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻa e Tohi Tapú, ʻe hoko ʻa ʻene pōpoakí ʻo mahinongofua kiate kitautolu ʻi he tokoni ʻa e laumālie ko iá. Kuo pau ke tau lotu ʻo kole ki ha tokoni pehē. Fakatokangaʻi ʻa e founga naʻe tokanga ai ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé ki he meʻá ni ʻa ia naʻá ne tohi: “ʻOmi ha loto poto [pe mahino], pea te u tauhi hoʻo lao: ʻio, te u fai ki ai ʻaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo hoku loto.” (Sāme 119:34) ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau lotu ʻo ʻikai ki he malava fakaefakakaukau pē ke makupusi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tohí kae toe pehē foki ki he anga ʻo e lotó ke ne fakaʻatā kitautolu ke tau tali ia. Ke mahinoʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau ongongofua ki he meʻa ʻoku moʻoní.
ʻI hoʻo fakalaulauloto koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻa e anga ʻo e fakakaukau totonú, fakakaukau atu ki he meʻa ʻe lava ke fai maʻau ʻe he ako ʻo e Tohi Tapú. ʻOku tau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga lelei ʻaupito ke lau ai ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ka ko e meʻa mahuʻinga ange ʻi ha toe meʻá ko ʻene tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau ʻunuʻunu ofi ki he ʻOtuá. (Semisi 4:8) ʻI heʻetau lau hifo ʻo fekauʻaki mo e anga ʻo e tali ʻa Sihova ki he ngaahi tuʻunga kehekehe, founga ʻo ʻene fakahoungaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻofa ʻiate iá, pea mo e founga ʻo ʻene feangai ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau liʻaki iá, ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ai pe ko e faʻahinga tokotaha fēfē ia. Ko ʻetau taumuʻa tefito ʻi hono lau ʻa e Tohi Tapú ʻoku totonu maʻu pē ko e hoko ʻo maheni lelei ange mo e ʻOtuá pea mo fakaivimālohiʻi ai hotau vahaʻangatae mo iá.
Ngaahi Fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻanga ki Hono Maʻu ʻa e Fakakaukau Totonú
Ko e hā nai ʻokú ne fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻi kitautolu mei hono mahinoʻi ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá? Ko e fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻanga ʻe taha ko ha ongoʻi mateaki ki ha meʻa hala. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻokú ke fakamahuʻingaʻi lahi nai ʻa e ngaahi tui mo e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻa ha faʻahinga pau. Kae kehe, fēfē kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke pouaki pe fakamahuʻingaʻi moʻoni ʻe he faʻahingá ni ia ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá? ʻI he malumalu ʻo e ngaahi tuʻunga peheé, ke mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku akoʻi moʻoni mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko ha pole nai ia. Ko ia ai, ʻoku fakalototoʻaʻi mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú kitautolu ke tau sivisiviʻi fakalelei ʻa e meʻa kuo akoʻi mai kiate kitautolú.—1 Tesalonaika 5:21.
Ko e faʻē ʻa Sīsuú, ʻa Mele, naʻe fehangahangai mo ha pole pehē. Naʻe ʻohake ia ʻo fakatatau ki he talatukufakaholo faka-Siú. Naʻá ne tauhi lelei ʻa e Lao ʻa Mōsesé pea naʻá ne ʻalu taʻetoeveiveiua ki he ngaahi sinakoké. ʻI he konga ki mui ʻo ʻene moʻuí naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ai ko e founga ʻo e lotu naʻe akoʻi kiate ia ʻe heʻene ongo mātuʻá naʻe ʻikai ke kei ala tali ia ʻe he ʻOtuá. Ko ia ai, naʻe tali ʻe Mele ʻa e akonaki ʻa Sīsuú pea naʻá ne ʻi he lotolotonga ai ʻo e ʻuluaki kau mēmipa ʻo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané. (Ngāue 1:13, 14) Naʻe ʻikai ko hano fakahāhā ʻeni ia ʻo ha taʻefakaʻapaʻapa ki heʻene ongo mātuʻá pe ki heʻenau ngaahi talatukufakaholó; ʻi hono kehé, ko ha fakahāhā ʻeni ia ʻo ʻene ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá. Ke tau maʻu ʻaonga mei he Tohi Tapú, ʻi he hangē ko Melé kuo pau ke tau fokotuʻu ʻa e mateaki ki he ʻOtuá ke muʻomuʻa ia ʻi he mateaki ki ha taha pē.
Ko e meʻa fakamamahí, ʻoku fakamahuʻingaʻi siʻisiʻi pē ʻe he kakai tokolahi ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e Tohi Tapú. ʻOku loto ʻa e niʻihi ia ke muimui ʻi he ngaahi talatukufakaholo fakalotu ko ia ʻoku makatuʻunga ʻi he loí. ʻOku fakahāhā ʻe he niʻihi kehe ia ʻa e taʻetokaʻi ki he moʻoní ʻi heʻenau leá mo e founga moʻuí. Ko ia ai, ko hono tali ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau: Te ne ʻai nai koe ke ke loto-kehekehe mo ho ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, ngaahi kaungāʻapí, ngaahi kaungāngāué, pea naʻa mo ho fāmilí. (Sione 17:14) Ka neongo ia, naʻe tohi ʻe he tangata potó: “Fakatau mai ae mooni, bea oua naa toe fakatau atu.” (Palovepi 23:23, PM) Kapau ʻokú ke fakamahuʻingaʻi lahi ʻa e moʻoní, ʻe tokoniʻi koe ʻe Sihova ke ke mahinoʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú.
Ko e toe fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻanga ʻe taha ki hono makupusi ʻa e pōpoaki ʻa e Tohi Tapú ko ha taʻelotolelei ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne leaʻakí. Naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá: “Koeʻuhi kuo tuku kiate kimoutolu ke ʻilo ʻa e ngāhi misiteli ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo Hevani, ka ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai tuku ki ai. He kuo fangapesi ʻa e loto ʻo e kakai ni, pea ongongataʻa honau telinga.” (Mātiu 13:11, 15) Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e faʻahinga naʻe malanga ki ai ʻa Sīsuú naʻa nau ongongataʻa, ʻo taʻelotolelei ke liliu. He kehekehe ē mo e tangata fakatau fefonongaʻaki naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Sīsū ʻi ha talanoa fakatātaá! ʻI hono ʻiloʻi ha mataʻitofe mahuʻinga lahí, naʻe fakatau fakavavevave atu ʻe he tangata fakataú ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻá ne maʻú ke fakatau mai ʻaki ia. ʻOku totonu ke mahuʻinga tatau pehē kiate kitautolu ʻa hono mahinoʻi ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e Tohi Tapú.—Mātiu 13:45, 46.
Ko e Pole ʻo e Hoko ʻo Akoʻí
Ko ha pole lahi ki hono mahinoʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú ko e hoko ʻo akoʻingofuá. ʻOku faingataʻa nai ki ha taha ke ne tali ha ngaahi fakakaukau foʻou mei ha taha ʻoku hā māʻulalo. Ka, ko e kau ʻapositolo ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ko e kau tangata ‘taʻe kolisi, pea taʻe maʻu tuʻunga.’ (Ngāue 4:13) ʻI hono fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻuhingá, naʻe tohi ʻa Paula: “Vakai ʻa e ui ʻomoutolu, kainga. Talaʻehai ko hamou tokolahi koni poto fakakakano; talaʻehai ko e tokolahi koni malohi; talaʻehai ko e tokolahi koni houʻeiki. Kehe, kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻo mamani ʻoku vale ke fakamāʻi ʻa e kau poto.” (1 Kolinito 1:26, 27) Kapau ʻokú ke ʻilo hifo ʻoku faingataʻa kiate koe ke fakahāhā ʻa e anga-fakatōkilaló ʻi he taimi ʻoku akoʻi ai koe ʻe ha taha māʻulalo, manatuʻi ko e tokotaha ko iá ko ha founga pē ia ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe he ʻOtuá ke akoʻi ai koé. Ko e hā ha toe monū ʻe lava ke lahi ange ʻi hono akoʻi ʻe Sihova, ko ʻetau “Faiako Maʻongoʻongá”?—Aisea 30:20, NW; Ai 54:13.
Ko e ʻeiki-tau Sīlia ko Neamaní ʻa e tokotaha naʻe faingataʻa kiate ia ke ne tali ha fakahinohino mei ha tokotaha māʻulalo. ʻI he kumi ki ha faitoʻo ki hono kiliá, naʻá ne ʻalu ke sio ki he palōfita ʻa Sihova ko ʻIlaisá. Ka ko e ngaahi fakahinohino ʻa e ʻOtuá ki ha faitoʻó naʻe fakahā ia kia Neamani fakafou ʻi ha sevāniti. Ko e pōpoakí mo e founga naʻe fakahoko ai iá naʻá ne poleʻi ʻa e anga-fakatōkilalo ʻa Neamaní, ʻo ne ʻuluaki fakafisi ai ke talangofua ki he lea ʻa e palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ki mui aí, naʻe liliu ʻe Neamani ʻene fakakaukaú pea naʻe fakamoʻui. (2 Tuʻi 5:9-14) ʻOku tau fehangahangai mo ha pole meimei tatau ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau hanga ai ki he Tohi Tapú. ʻOku tau ʻilo nai ai ke hoko ʻo faitoʻo fakalaumālie mo fakaeʻulungāangá, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau muimui ʻi ha founga moʻui foʻou. Te tau maʻu ʻa e anga-fakatōkilalo ke fakaʻatā ha taha ke ne akoʻi kitautolu ki he meʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau faí? Ko e faʻahinga pē ʻoku nau loto-lelei ke akoʻí ʻe lava ke nau mahinoʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú.
Ko ha fakakaukau lelei naʻe fakahāhā ʻe ha tangata maʻu mafai ʻi he malumalu ʻo Kanetaké, ko e kuini ʻo e kau ʻItiopeá. Naʻá ne foki ki ʻAfilika ʻi heʻene salioté ʻi he taimi naʻe lele ai ʻi he tafaʻakí ʻa e ākonga ko Filipé ʻo fakatalanoa ange kiate iá. Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Filipe ki he tangatá pe ʻokú ne mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne laú. Naʻe anga-fakatōkilalo feʻunga ʻa e ʻōfisá ke ne tali: “ʻO u ʻilo fēfē, taʻe ha taha ke ne fakahinohino au?” ʻI hono maʻu ha mahino ki he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, naʻe papitaiso ʻa e tangatá. ʻI he hili iá, “naʻa ne fai atu ʻene fononga kuo fiefia hono loto.”—Ngāue 8:27-39.
ʻI he tuʻunga fakalūkufuá ko ha kakai lāuvale pē ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová. ʻI he uike taki taha ʻoku nau fakahoko ai ʻa e ngaahi ako Tohi Tapu ʻi he ngaahi ʻapi ʻo e kakai ʻoku laka hake ʻi he toko ono milioná. Koeʻuhi ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e founga lelei taha ʻo e moʻuí, fakamatalaʻi mai ʻa e ʻamanaki papau pē ʻe taha ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, mo fakahaaʻi mai ʻa e founga ke tau hoko ai ʻo maheni mo e ʻOtuá, kuo ʻilo ʻe he laui miliona ko hono ako ʻa e Tohi Tapú pea mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne leaʻakí ko ha fiefia taʻealafakatataua ia. Ko ha fiefia ia ʻokú ke ala maʻu.
