1. (a) Ko e fiefiá ko e faʻahinga fua fēfē ia? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e tokonaki fiefia ke fakalāngilangiʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtuá?
FIEFIA! Ko e ʻulungaanga faka-Kalisitiane ko ení ʻoku lisi fika ua ki he ʻofá ʻi he fakamatala ko ia ʻa Paula ʻo kau ki he fua ʻo e laumālié. (Kalētia 5:22-25) Pea ko e hā ʻokú ne fakatupunga ʻa e fiefia ko iá?

2, 3. (a) Ko e hā naʻe feʻungamālie ai ʻa e fekauʻi mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa hono ʻAlo naʻe ʻuluaki fakatupú ke hoko ko e Tokotaha-huhuʻi ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e toe ngaahi founga kehe ne fakahoko ai ʻia Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá he lolotonga ʻene ʻi māmaní?
2 Ko e hoifua ʻa Sihova ki he tangatá ʻoku fakahā ia ʻi hono tokonaki ʻa e fakamoʻui fou ʻia Kalaisi ko e ʻEikí. Ko e ʻAlo ʻuluaki fanauʻi ko eni ʻo e ʻOtuá ko e fakasino ia ʻo e poto moʻoní pea ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻokú ne lea ʻo kau ki heʻene Tamaí ʻi he taimi ko ia ʻo e fakatupú: “Pea naʻá ku toki hoko ʻi hono tafaʻakí, ko e tokotaha ngāue tuʻumaʻu mo pau, peá u hoko ʻo fonu ʻi he fiefia he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻo u hakailangitau ʻi hono ʻao he taimi kotoa pē; ʻo u fiefia ʻi he kelekele fua lahi ʻo hono māmaní, ʻio, ko ʻeku nēkeneká naʻe ʻi he hako ʻo e tangatá.”—Palōvepi 8:30, 31. Rotherham.
3 Ko ia naʻe feʻungamālie ʻa e fekau mai ʻe Sihova ʻa e ʻAlo ko ení, ʻa ia naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e fiefia pehē ʻi he hako ʻo e tangatá, ke ne hoko ko e Tokotaha-huhuʻi ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. Pea ʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahoko mai ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e lāngilangi ki he ʻOtuá? ʻE fakaʻatā ai ʻa e founga kiate ia ke ne fakahoko ʻene taumuʻa maʻongoʻonga ke fakafonu ʻa e māmaní ʻaki ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangata angatonu mo ʻofa ki he melinó. (Sēnesi 1:28) Tānaki atu ki ai, lolotonga ʻene ʻi he māmaní, ko e ʻAlo ko ení, ko Sīsū, te ne fakahā ʻi he malumalu ʻo e ʻahiʻahi mamahi lahi tahá ʻe malava ʻe he tangata haohaoá ke talangofua mateaki kia Sihova ko e ʻEiki Fakalevelevá, ʻo ne fakatonuhiaʻi kakato ʻa e totonu ke pule ʻa ʻene Tamaí ki Heʻene fakatupú. (Hepelū 4:15; 5:8, 9) Naʻe toe fokotuʻu ʻe he founga tauhi angatonu ʻa Sīsuú ha sīpinga ki he kau Kalisitiane moʻoni kotoa pē ke nau muimui ofi ʻo topuvaʻe taha mo ia.—1 Pita 2:21.
4. Ko e faʻa kātaki ʻa Sīsū ʻokú ne iku atu ai ki he fiefia lahi ko e hā, pea ʻoku totonu ke fēfē ʻa hono fakalototoʻaʻi kitautolu ʻe he meʻá ni?
4 Ko ia naʻe maʻu ʻe Sīsū ʻa e fiefia taʻefakatataua ʻi heʻene fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo ʻene Tamaí, pea ʻi heʻene fakatuʻotuʻa atu ki he fiefia lahi ange, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fakahā ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻia Hepelū 12:1, 2: “Pea tau kitaki atu ʻetau lele he fakapuepue kuo tala humaki mai kiate kitautolu; ʻo tau sio fakamamaʻu atu ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he tui mo hono Fakaaʻu, ʻio, ʻa Sisu; ʻa ia, ko e meʻa ke ne maʻu ʻa e fiefia naʻe tala humaki kiate ia, ko ia naʻa ne kataki ʻa e mate kalusefai, naʻe ʻikai te ne tokaʻi hono fakamāʻi, pea kuo ne nofo hifo foki mei he toʻomataʻu ʻo e taloni ʻo e ʻOtua.” Ko e hā ʻa e fiefia ko ení? Ko e fiefia ia ʻoku maʻu ʻe Sīsū, ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi heʻene fakatonuhiaʻi ʻa e huafa ʻo ʻene Tamaí mo ʻene huhuʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá mei he maté ka ko ʻene toe pule ko e Tuʻi mo e Taulaʻeiki Lahi ʻi heʻene fakafoki ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangata talangofuá ki he moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmani ko ha palataisi.—Mātiu 6:9; 20:28; Hepelū 7:23-26.
5. Ko hai ʻa e “fanga tokoua” ʻo Sīsuú, pea ko e hā ʻa e fiefia makehe ʻoku nau kau ki aí?
5 ʻIo, kuo fiefia maʻu pē ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene ngāue maʻá e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. Pea ko hono fiefiaʻangá ia ke ngāue fakataha mo ʻene Tamaí ʻi hono fili ʻa e kulupu ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangata tauhi angatonu ʻa ia ʻokú ne ui ko hono “fanga tokoua” pea ʻi heʻenau maté ʻoku nau toetuʻu ki hēvani. ʻOku nau hū ki he fiefia makehe fakataha mo Sīsū. Pea ʻoku fakahā ko kinautolu “ʻoku monūʻia [fiefia, NW] mo toputapu,” pea te nau hoko ko e “kau taulaʻeiki ʻa e ʻOtua mo Kalaisi, pea te nau hau mo ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe taha afe.”—Hepelū 2:11; Fakahā 14:1, 4; 20:6.
6. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e fakaafe fiefia ʻoku fakahā mai ʻe he Tuʻí ki heʻene “fanga sipi kehe”? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi monūʻia ʻoku maʻu ʻe he tokolahi ʻo e fanga sipi ko ení ʻi he ʻahó ni?

Mei he faʻahinga ko eni ʻa ia te nau maʻu ʻa e feituʻu fakamāmani ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Puleʻangá, naʻa mo e taimí ni ʻoku tali ʻe he tokolahi ʻa e ngaahi fatongia lahi ʻo nau ngāue fakataha mo e kau paní, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe kikiteʻi ʻe Sihová: “Pea ʻe tuʻu ʻa e kau muli ʻo fafanga hoʻomou ngaahi takanga, pea ko e hakoʻi kehe ʻe fakaʻuli hoʻomou palau, mo tauhi hoʻomou ngaahi ngoue vaine. Ka ʻe ui kimoutolu ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻa Sihova; ʻe lau kimoutolu ko e kau tauhi ʻo hotau ʻOtua.” ʻOku kau kātoa ʻa kinautolú ni fakataha mo e palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he pehē: “Te u matuʻaki fiefia ʻia Sihova, ʻe tomeʻe hoku laumalie ʻi hoku ʻOtua; he kuo ne fakakofu au ʻaki ʻa e ʻu kofu ʻo e fakamoʻui.”—ʻAisea 61:5, 6, 10.

7 ʻOku tau lolotonga moʻui he taimí ni ʻi he ʻaho makehe. Talu mei he 1914 ko e ʻaho ia ʻo e pule ʻa Kalaisi ko e Tuʻi fakahēvani, ʻa ia ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻia Sāme 118:24, 25: “Ko eni ʻa e ʻaho kuo fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova; Tau hakahaka ai mo fakafiefia.

17 Neongo pe ko e hā ha ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻoku fehangahangai mo kitautolu, ke tau fakapapauʻi ke tau piki ke maʻu ki heʻetau fiefiá. Mahalo pē ʻe ʻikai fiemaʻu ke tau fou atu ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa ʻe hoko ʻo faingataʻa ʻo hangē ko ia ko Sitīvení, ka ko ʻene faʻifaʻitakiʻangá ʻoku malava ke ne fakakaukaua kitautolu. ʻI hono tukuakiʻí, naʻá ne malava ke tauhimaʻu ʻa e anga ʻene sio ki he fiefiá. Naʻe sio ʻa hono ngaahi filí kiate ia “pea tā ko hono fofonga naʻe hangē ko e fofonga ʻo ha angelo.” Naʻe poupouʻi ia ʻe he Otuá he lolotonga hono ʻahiʻahí. Naʻá ne fakamoʻoni lototoʻa, ʻo “fonu ia ʻi he laumālie maʻoniʻoni” ʻo aʻu ki heʻene mate māʻata. ʻI he hanga ʻa Paula mo Panepasa ki he ngaahi puleʻangá ʻi heʻena ngāue fakamalangá, ko kinautolu foki “naʻa nau fiefia, mo nau fakahikihiki ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻEiki.” Naʻe toe tupu hake ʻa e fakatangá. Ka naʻe ʻikai te ne uesia ʻa kinautolu kuo tuí. “Pea ko e meʻa ki he kau ako, naʻe fakafonu kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e fiefia mo e laumālie māʻoniʻoni.” (Ngāue 6:15; 7:55; 13:48-52) Pe ko e hā pē ha meʻa ʻe fai ʻe hotau ngaahi filí kiate kitautolu, pe ko e hā ha faʻahinga ʻahiʻahi fakaʻaho ʻe hoko kiate kitautolu ʻi he moʻuí, ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa tau tukuange ʻetau fiefia ʻi he laumālie māʻoniʻoní ke mole. Ko e akonaki eni ʻa Paulá: “ʻI he fai ʻo hoʻomou ʻamanaki, mou fiefia; ʻi he fai homou fakamamahi, mou kataki pe; ʻi he hufia, mou fakaʻutumauku hono fai.”—Loma 12:12.

Ki he kotoa ʻo ʻene kakaí, kuo fakahā ʻe Sihova: “He vakai, ʻoku ou fakatupu ha ngaahi langi foʻou mo ha fonua foʻou: pea ʻe ʻikai manatua ʻa e ʻuluaki, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hake ʻi he loto ʻo ha taha. ʻIkai, ka mou fiefia mo tomeʻe ʻo taʻengata, ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ou fakatupu.” Ko Kalaisi ko e ʻEikí fakataha mo e “Selusalema Foʻou” (he taimí ni ko e kolomuʻa ia ʻo e kautaha fakahēvani ʻa e ʻOtuá, ko “Jelusalema oku i oluga”) mo e sōsaieti ʻo e māmani foʻou ʻi he māmaní te nau fakahoko mai ʻa e fiefia lahi ʻaupito ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. (Kalētia 4:26) Ko e fokotuʻu hake ʻa e kau mate ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ko hono hiki hake ʻa kinautolu talangofuá ki he moʻui taʻengata ʻi he tuʻunga haohaoá, ko ha ʻitāniti ʻo e moʻui ʻaonga, mo moʻui lelei ʻi he palataisi ʻi he māmaní—ko e ʻamanaki maʻongoʻonga ē pea mo e fakatupungaʻanga ʻo e fakahīkihikiʻí! Hangē ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa e ‘fiefia ʻi Selusalema pea fiefia ʻi hono kakaí,’ ko ia ʻoku fakahoko mai ʻe heʻene palōfitá ʻa e toe ui ki he kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá: “Mou kaunga fiefia mo Selusalema, mo tomeʻe ʻiate ia, ʻa kimoutolu kotoa ʻoku ʻofa ki ai: mou matuʻaki kaunga fiefia mo ia.” (ʻAisea 65:17-19; 66:10; Fakahā 14:1; 20:12, 13; 21:2-4) ʻOfa ke tau fonu maʻu pē ʻi he fiefiá mo e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻi heʻetau fai ki he akonaki ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Mou fiefia ʻi he ʻEiki maʻu ai pe: ʻio, kau toe ʻai atu, Mou fiefia!”—Filipai 4:4.
