‘ʻA e Fanau, Mou Talangofua ki Hoʻomou Matuʻá’
“ʻA e fanau, mou talangofua ʻi he ʻEiki ki hoʻomou matuʻa: he ko hono totonu ia.”—EFESO 6:1.
1. ʻE lava fēfē ke maluʻi koe ʻe he talangofuá?
ʻOKU tau moʻui nai he taimí ni koeʻuhi naʻa tau talangofua, lolotonga ia ʻoku ʻikai moʻui ʻa e niʻihi koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua. Talangofua ki he hā? Ko e fakatātaá, ki he ngaahi fakatokanga mei hotau sino naʻe ‘fakaofo hono ngaohí.’ (Sāme 139:14) ʻOku sio hotau matá ki he ngaahi konga ʻao fakapōpōʻuli, pea fanongo hotau telingá ki he ʻuʻulu ʻa e mana. ʻOku hanga leva ʻe he tapa ʻa e ʻuhilá ʻo ʻai ke tau tuʻu teki. Ki he faʻahinga kuo akoʻi fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻe ala hokó, ko e ngaahi fakaʻilongá ni ko ha fakatokanga ia ke kumi ki ha feituʻu malu mei he afā ʻoku tuʻunuku mai fakataha mo e ʻuhila mo e ʻuha ʻaisi ʻa ia ʻe fakatuʻutāmaki nai ki he moʻuí.
2. Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ki he fānaú ʻa e ngaahi fakatokangá, pea ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke nau talangofua ki heʻenau mātuʻá?
2 Ko kimoutolu fānaú ʻoku mou fiemaʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakatokanga fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻe ala hoko, pea ʻoku maʻu ʻe hoʻomou mātuʻá ʻa e fatongia ke ʻoatu ʻa e fakatokanga ko iá. ʻOku mou manatu nai ki hano tala atu: “ʻOua ʻe ala ki he sitoú. ʻOku vela.” “Fakamamaʻo mei he anovaí. ʻOku fakatuʻutāmaki.” “Sio ki he ongo kauhalá fakatouʻosi ki muʻa ke ke kolosi ʻi he halá.” ʻOku fakamamahí, he kuo lavea pe aʻu ʻo mate ʻa e fānaú ʻi he ʻikai te nau talangofuá. Ke talangofua ki hoʻo ongo mātuʻá “ʻoku totonu”—tonu mo taau. ʻOku toe fakapotopoto ia. (Palovepi 8:33) ʻOku toe pehē ʻi ha konga Tohi Tapu ʻe taha ʻoku “fakaʻofoʻofa” ia ki hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí. Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku fekauʻi kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ke mou talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻá.—Kolose 3:20; 1 Kolinito 8:6.
Pale Tuʻuloa ʻo e Talangofuá
3. Ko e hā ʻa e “moʻui moʻoni” ki he tokolahi taha ʻo kitautolú, pea ʻe lava fēfē ke maʻu ia ʻe he fānaú?
3 Ko e talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻá ʻoku maluʻi ai hoʻomou “moʻui ko eni,” ka ʻe toe ʻai ʻe he talangofuá ke malava ʻo mou maʻu ai ʻa e moʻui “ka hoko mai,” ʻa ia ʻoku ui ko e “moʻui moʻoni.” (1 Timote 4:8; 6:19) Ki he tokolahi taha ʻo kitautolú, ko e moʻui moʻoní ko e moʻui taʻehanongataʻanga ʻi māmani ʻi he māmani foʻou ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia ʻokú ne talaʻofa ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau pipiki faitōnunga ki heʻene ngaahi fekaú. Ko ha fekau mahuʻinga ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi fekau ko ení ʻoku pehē ai: “‘Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻe’, (ko e ʻuluaki fekau ia ʻoku ʻi ai hano talaʻofa,) ka ke monuʻia, pea ke nofo fuoloa ʻi mamani.” Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻá, te mou fiefia. ʻE malu homou kahaʻú, pea ʻoku ngalingali te mou maʻu ai ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá ʻi ha māmani palataisi!—Efeso 6:2, 3.
4. ʻOku lava fēfē ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa e fānaú ki he ʻOtuá pea nau maʻu ʻaonga mei ai?
4 ʻI hoʻomou fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻomou mātuʻá ʻaki ʻa e talangofua kia kinautolú, ʻoku mou toe fakaʻapaʻapa ai ki he ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ko ia ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne fekauʻi kimoutolu ke talangofua kia kinautolú. ʻI he taimi tatau, ʻoku mou maʻu ʻaonga ai. “Ko au Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻoku ou ako koe ke fai meʻa ʻaonga,” ko e lau ia ʻa e Tohi Tapú. (Aisea 48:17; 1 Sione 5:3) ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e ʻaonga kia kimoutolu ʻa e talangofuá? ʻOkú ne ʻai hoʻomou faʻeé mo hoʻomou tamaí ke na fiefia, pea te na fakahaaʻi moʻoni ai ʻena fiefiá ʻi he ngaahi founga ʻa ia ʻe ʻai hoʻomou moʻuí ke fiefia ange. (Palovepi 23:22-25) Ka ko e meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga tahá, ko hoʻomou talangofuá ʻokú ne ʻai hoʻomou Tamai fakahēvaní ke fiefia, pea te ne fakapaleʻi kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi founga fakaofo! Tau sio angé ki he founga hono tāpuakiʻi mo maluʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Sīsū, ʻa ia naʻá ne lea ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia tonu: “ʻOku ou fai maʻuaipē ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ne hōhōʻia ai.”—Sione 8:29.

5. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ke tui ai ko Sīsuú naʻá ne hoko ko ha tokotaha-ngāue mālohi?
5 Ko Sīsū ʻa e ʻuluaki-fānau ʻa ʻene faʻeé, ʻa Mele. Ko ʻene tamai ohí, ʻa Siosefa, ko ha tufunga ia. Naʻe hoko mo Sīsū foki ko ha tufunga, ngalingali naʻá ne ako ʻa e ngāué meia Siosefa. (Mātiu 13:55; Maake 6:3; Luke 1:26-31)ʻOkú ke pehē ko e faʻahinga tokotaha tufunga fēfē ʻa Sīsū? ʻI heʻene ʻi hēvaní, ki muʻa ke tuʻituʻiaʻi fakaemana ia ʻe heʻene faʻē tāupoʻoú, ko ha fakasino ʻo e potó, naʻá ne fakamatala: “Ko e taimi ko iá naʻá ku hoko ʻo ʻi hono tafaʻakí [ʻo e ʻOtuá] ko ha tokotaha ngāue mataotao, pea naʻá ku hoko ko e tokotaha naʻá ne hōhōʻia tefito ai ʻi he ʻaho ki he ʻaho.” Naʻe hōifua ʻa e ʻOtuá kia Sīsū ʻa ia ko ha tokotaha ngāue mālohi ia ʻi hēvani. ʻOkú ke pehē ko e taimi naʻá ne kei siʻi ai ʻi māmaní naʻá ne toe feinga lahi ai ke hoko ko ha tokotaha-ngāue mālohi, ko ha tufunga lelei?—Palovepi 8:30, NW; Kolose 1:15, 16.
6. (a) Ko e hā ʻokú ke pehē ai ko Sīsū heʻene kei siʻí ʻoku pau pē naʻá ne fai ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻi ʻapi? (e) ʻI he ngaahi founga fē ʻe lava ke faʻifaʻitaki ai ʻa e fānaú kia Sīsuú?

(Sakalaia 8:5; Mātiu 11:16, 17) Neongo ia, ʻoku lava ke ke fakapapauʻi ʻi heʻene hoko ko e tamasiʻi lahi taha ʻi ha fuʻu fāmili masivá, naʻe ʻi ai ʻene ngaahi ngāue ke fai ʻo tānaki atu ki hono akoʻi ia ʻe Siosefa ke ne hoko ko ha tufungá. Ki mui ai, naʻe hoko ʻa Sīsū ko ha tokotaha malanga ʻo ne līʻoa ia ki heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻo aʻu ki he tuʻunga ko hono feilaulauʻi ʻene ngaahi fiemālie fakafoʻituituí. (Luke 9:58; Sione 5:17) ʻOku lava ke ke sio ki he ngaahi founga ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ke faʻifaʻitaki ai kia Sīsuú? ʻOku kole atu ʻe hoʻo ongo mātuʻá ke ke fakamaʻa ho lokí pe fai ha ngaahi ngāue kehe? ʻOkú na fakalototoʻaʻi koe ke ke kau ʻi he lotu ki he ʻOtuá ʻaki hono maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané pea vahevahe atu hoʻo tuí ki he niʻihi kehé? ʻOkú ke pehē naʻe mei fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e tamasiʻi ko Sīsuú ki he ngaahi kole meimei tatau?

7. (a) Ko hai nai naʻe fononga fakataha mo Sīsū ki he Pāsová? (e) Naʻe ʻi fē ʻa Sīsū ʻi he taimi naʻe kamata fononga ai ki ʻapi ʻa e niʻihi kehé, pea ko e hā naʻá ne ʻi ai aí?
7 Ko e kau mēmipa tangata kotoa pē ʻo ha fāmili ʻIsileli naʻe fekauʻi ke nau ō ʻo lotu kia Sihova ʻi he temipalé lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi kātoanga faka-Siu ʻe tolu. (Teutalonome 16:16) ʻI he taʻu 12 ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe fai nai ai ʻe hono fāmilí kotoa ʻa e fononga ki Selusalema ki he Pāsová. ʻOku ngalingali naʻe kau ai ʻa hono fanga tokoua mo e tuofāfine faʻē-tahá. Kae kehe, ko e faʻahinga naʻe fononga mo e fāmili ʻo Sīsuú naʻe kau nai ai ʻa Sālome, ʻa ia ʻoku ngalingali ko e tokoua ʻo Mele, fakataha mo hono husepānití ko Sēpeti mo hona ongo foha ko Sēmisi mo Sioné, ʻa ia naʻá na hoko ki mui ko e ongo ʻapositolo.a (Mātiu 4:20, 21; 13:54-56; 27:56; Maake 15:40; Sione 19:25) ʻI he foki ʻa e fonongá, ʻoku pau naʻe pehē pē ʻe Siosefa ia mo Mele naʻe ō ʻa Sīsū mo e kāingá, ko ia ai naʻe ʻikai tomuʻa fakatokangaʻi ʻene pulí. ʻI he ʻaho ʻe tolu ki mui ai, ʻi he faifai pea maʻu ʻe Mele mo Siosefa ʻa Sīsuú, naʻá ne ʻi he temipalé, “ʻoku ne lotolotoi ʻi he kau ʻakonaki, ʻo ne fakafanongo kiate kinautolu mo fakafehuʻi kiate kinautolu.”—Luke 2:44-46.
8. Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ʻi he temipalé, pea ko e hā naʻe fakatumutumu ai ʻa e kakaí?
8 ʻI he founga fē naʻe “fakafehuʻi” ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kau faiakó? Ko ʻene fehuʻí naʻe ʻikai nai ko ha faʻahinga fehuʻi pē ia ke fakalato ai ʻa ʻene fieʻiló pe ke maʻu pē ha fakamatala. Ko e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ʻoku ngāueʻaki hení ʻoku lava ke ʻuhinga ia ki he fakafehuʻi hangē ko ia naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻi he sivi fakaefakamāú pea naʻe lava ke kau ki ai ʻa e fehuʻi fakafihi. ʻIo, naʻa mo ʻene kei siʻí, naʻe hoko ko ha tokotaha ako Tohi Tapu ʻa ia naʻá ne fakaʻohovaleʻi ʻa e kau faiako mataotao fakalotú! “Ko kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo kiate ia, naʻa nau fakatumutumu ʻi he anga o ʻene fakakaukau mo ʻene ngaahi tali,” ko e lau ia ʻa e Tohi Tapú.—Luke 2:47.

(Palovepi 13:24; 23:13, 14; Mātiu 12:42) ʻOku manatuʻi ʻe ha fefine Kalisitiane ʻe taha ʻi heʻene kei siʻí ʻi he taimi naʻá ne pauʻu ai ʻi he ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané, naʻe fakapapauʻi ange heʻene tamaí te ne tauteaʻi ia ʻi he foki ki ʻapí. ʻI he taimi ní ʻokú ne manatu ʻofa ki heʻene tamaí ʻi hono ʻoange kiate ia ʻa e akonaki ʻofa ʻa ia naʻe oʻi ai ʻene moʻuí ki ha tuʻunga lelei.
19. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu tautefito ai ke ke talangofua ki hoʻo ongo mātuʻá?
19 Kapau ʻokú ke maʻu ha ongo mātuʻa ʻokú na ʻofa feʻunga ʻiate koe ke vaheʻi ʻa e taimi pea fai ha feinga ke akonakiʻi koe ʻi ha founga anga-ʻofa, houngaʻia ai. Talangofua kia kinaua, ʻo hangē pē ko e talangofua ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí ki heʻene ongo mātuʻá, ʻa Siosefa mo Mele. Kae talangofua kia kinaua tautefito koeʻuhi ko hoʻo Tamai fakahēvaní, ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá, ʻokú ne folofola mai ke ke fai pehē. Te ke maʻu ʻaonga tonu ai, pea te ke “monuʻia, pea ke nofo fuoloa ʻi mamani.”—Efeso 6:2, 3.
