Ko ia ai, tau sivisiviʻi tokanga angé ʻa hono ngafá. ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e taimi, hili ʻa e faiangahala ʻa ʻĀtamá, naʻe fakahaaʻi ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻe lava ke fiefia ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi he moʻui taʻengatá?

5 Naʻe fakaʻilongaʻi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻi he lea fakaefakatātā ʻa e Fakamoʻui naʻe talaʻofá. Naʻá ne fai eni ʻi heʻene tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e tautea ki he “ngata” ko ia naʻe lea kia ʻIvi ʻo ne fakataueleʻi ia ke talangataʻa ki he ʻOtuá ʻaki hono kai ʻa e fuaʻiʻakau naʻe tapuí. (Senesi 3:1-5) Ko e moʻoni, ko e ngata ko iá naʻe ʻikai ko ha ngata moʻoni. Ko ha meʻamoʻui laumālie mālohi ia ʻa ia ʻoku fakaʻilongaʻi ʻi he Tohitapú ko e “Ngata ʻo ono ʻaho, ʻa e toko taha ʻoku ui ko e Tevolo mo Setane.” (Fakahā 12:9) Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sētane ʻa e manu māʻulalo ko ení ko ʻene tokotaha lea ke fakataueleʻi ʻa ʻIvi. Ko ia ai, ʻi hono tauteaʻi ʻo Sētané, naʻe folofola ange ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate ia: “Te u ʻai ke mo fetāufehiʻa ʻaki, ʻa koe mo e fefine, pea ko ho hako mo hono hako; ʻe laiki ʻe ia [ʻa e hako ʻo e fefiné] ho ʻulu, pea te ke laiki ʻe koe ʻa hono muivaʻe.”—Senesi 3:15.

6 Ko hai ʻa e “fefine” ko eni ʻa ia ʻoku fetāufehiʻaʻaki, pe fehiʻa ki ai ʻa Sētané? Hangē pē ko hono fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e “ngata ʻo ono ʻaho” ʻi he Fakahā vahe 12, ʻoku pehē pē mo e fefine ko eni ʻoku fehiʻa ki ai ʻa Sētané. Fakatokangaʻi ʻi he veesi 1 ʻoku pehē ai naʻá ne “teuteu ʻaki ʻa e laʻaá, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he māhiná, pea mo e ngaahi foʻi fetuʻu ʻe hongofulumāua ʻi hono ʻulú.” ʻOku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he fefine ko ení ʻa e kautaha fakahēvani ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e kau ʻāngelo anga-tonú, pea ko e “tama tangata” ʻa ia ʻokú ne fāʻeleʻí ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻoku pule ai ko e Tuʻí.—Fakahā 12:1-5, The Jerusalem Bible.
7 Ko ia ai, ko hai ʻa e “hako,” pe fānau, ʻa e fefiné, naʻe lave ki ai ʻi he Senesi 3:15, ʻa ia te ne laiki ʻa Sētane ʻi hono “ʻulu,” ʻo ʻai ai ia ke ne maté? Ko e tokotaha ia naʻe fekau hifo ʻe he ʻOtuá mei hēvani ke fanauʻi fakaemana ʻi ha tāupoʻou, ʻio, ʻa e tangata ko Sīsuú. (Mātiu 1:18-23; Sione 6:38) ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he vahe 12 ʻo Fakahaá ʻi hono tuʻunga ko e Tokotaha-Pule fakahēvani kuo toetuʻú, ko e Hako ko ení, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, te ne taki ʻi hono ikunaʻi ʻo Sētané pea te ne fokotuʻu, hangē ko e lau ʻa e Fakahā 12:10, ʻa e “puleʻanga ʻo hotau ʻOtua, pea mo e pule ʻa ʻEne Kalaisi.”

8 Ko e Puleʻanga ko eni ʻi he nima ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ko ha meʻa foʻou ia naʻe tokonaki mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he felāveʻi mo ʻene muʻaki taumuʻa ki he tangatá ke fiefia ʻi he moʻui taʻengata he māmaní. Hili e angatuʻu ʻa Sētané, naʻe ngāue leva ʻa Sihova ke fakafoki ʻa e ngaahi nunuʻa kovi kotoa pē ʻo e fulikivanú fakafou ʻi he founga-pule Puleʻanga foʻou ko ení. ʻI heʻene ʻi māmaní naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻe ʻikai te ne tokotaha pē ʻi he founga-pule ko ení. (Luke 22:28-30) Naʻe pau ke fili ʻa e niʻihi kehe mei he lotolotonga ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, pea ko e faʻahingá ni te nau fakataha mo ia ʻi hēvani ke kau ʻi he pulé, pea ko ia ʻoku nau hoko ai ʻo fokotuʻuʻaki ʻa e konga hono ua ʻo e hako ʻo e fefiné. (Kaletia 3:16, 29) ʻI he Tohitapú ko e tokolahi ʻo e kau kaungāpule ko eni fakataha mo Sīsuú—ko e toʻo kotoa mei he lotolotonga ʻo e faʻahinga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá ʻi māmaní—ʻoku ʻomai ia ko e toko 144,000.—Fakahā 14:1-3.

9 Kae kehe, ki muʻa ke lava ʻo kamata pule ʻa e Puleʻanga ko iá, naʻe mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ke hā ʻi he māmaní ʻa e konga tefito ʻo e hako ko iá, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhi he naʻe fakanofo ia ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ko e Tokotaha ia “ke ne holoki [pe toe fakafoki] ʻa e ngaahi ngaue ʻa e Tevolo.” (1 Sione 3:8) ʻOku ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sētané ʻa ʻene fakataueleʻi ʻa ʻĀtama ki he angahalá, ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻomai ʻa e fakahalaia ʻo e angahalá mo e maté ki he kotoa ʻo e fānau ʻa ʻĀtamá. (Loma 5:12) Naʻe toe fakafoki ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngāue ko eni ʻa e Tēvoló ʻaki hono foaki ʻa ʻEne moʻuí ko ha huhuʻi. Ko ia ai, naʻá ne tokonaki mai ha makatuʻunga ki hono tukuange ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá mei he fakahalaia ki he angahalá mo e maté pea fakaava ai ʻa e hala ki he moʻui taʻengatá.—Mātiu 20:28; Loma 3:24; Efeso 1:7.

10 Koeʻuhi naʻe hiki hifo ʻa e moʻui ʻa Sīsuú mei hēvani ki he manava ʻo ha fefine, naʻe fanauʻi mai ia ko ha tangata haohaoa, ʻo ʻikai fakameleʻi ʻe he angahala meia ʻĀtamá. Naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e malava ke moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmaní. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, naʻe fakatupu ʻa ʻĀtama ko ha tangata haohaoa fakataha mo e ngaahi ʻamanaki ko e fiefia ʻi he moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmaní. Naʻe ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e faitatau ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ongo tangatá ni ʻi heʻene tohi: “Naʻe hoko ʻa e ʻuluaki tangata, ʻa Atama, ko e kakano moʻui; naʻe hoko ʻa e Atama ki mui [Sīsū Kalaisi] ko e laumalie fakamoʻui. Ko e ʻuluaki Tangata ko e tupu fakaemamani, ko ha meʻa-efu pe: ko hono ua ʻo e Tangata ko e tupufakalangi.”—1 Kolinito 15:45, 47.

Tā, ko ʻĀtama ʻi he taimi naʻá ne kei hoko ai ko ha tangata haohaoá! Ko e faiangahala ʻa e ʻuluaki ʻĀtamá naʻe iku ia ki hono fakahalaiaʻi ki he maté ʻa e fāmili fakakātoa ʻo e tangatá. Ko e feilaulau ʻa e “Atama ki mui” ʻoku tokonaki mai ai ʻa e makatuʻunga ki he fakatauʻatāina mei he angahalá mo e maté, koeʻuhi ke tau lava ʻo moʻui taʻengata. He maʻongoʻonga moʻoni ē ko e feilaulau ʻa Sīsuú! Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá: “Naʻe ʻikai fai ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻauha, ha siliva pe ha koula, homou huhuʻi.” Ka, naʻe fakamatala ʻa Pita: “Naʻe fai ʻaki ha taʻataʻa maʻongoʻonga, he ko e toto ʻo ha lami taʻemele mo taʻeʻila, ko e taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisi.”—1 Pita 1:18, 19.

(Sione 6:40; 14:6) ʻOku tau fakahāhā ʻoku tau ngāueʻi ʻa e tui kia Sīsuú ʻaki ʻa e “muimui ofi, ʻo topuvaʻe taha mo ia.” (1 Pita 2:21) Ko e hā ʻoku kau ʻi hono fai iá? Sai, ʻi he lotu ki he ʻOtuá, naʻe talaki ʻe Sīsū: “Ko eni kuo u haʻu . . . ke fai hoʻo tuʻutuʻuni, ʻe ʻOtua.” (Hepelu 10:7) ʻOku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ke faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū ʻi he loto-lelei ke fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá pea ʻi hono fakatapui ʻa hoʻo moʻuí kia Sihova. Hili iá ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e fakatapui ko iá ʻaki ʻa e papitaiso ʻi he vaí; ko Sīsū foki naʻá ne foaki atu ia tonu ki he papitaisó. (Luke 3:21, 22) Ko e fou ʻi he ngaahi ʻalunga peheé ʻoku ʻuhinga lelei fakaʻaufuli. Naʻe fakamatala ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá “ʻoku fakaivimālohiʻi kimautolu ʻe he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisí.” (2 Kolinito 5:14, 15, NW) ʻI he founga fē? Sai, naʻe ueʻi ʻe he ʻofá ʻa Sīsū ke foaki ʻene moʻuí koeʻuhi ko kitautolu. ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu ʻe he meʻa ko iá ke tali ʻaki hono ngāueʻi ʻa e tui kiate iá? ʻIo, ʻoku totonu ke ne fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu ke muimui ki heʻene faʻifaʻitakiʻanga anga-ʻofá ʻi hono foaki atu ia tonu ʻi hono tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Naʻe moʻui ʻa Kalaisi ki hono fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá; kuo pau ke tau fai ʻa e meʻa tatau, ʻo ʻikai kei moʻui maʻatautolu.

23 ʻOku ʻikai ko e ngataʻanga ia ʻo e meʻá. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohitapú ʻi he taimi naʻe papitaiso ai ʻa e toko 3,000 ʻi he Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S., naʻe “tānaki mai” kinautolu. Tānaki mai ki he hā? “Naʻa nau hokohoko atu ʻi he līʻoa kinautolu ki he faiako ʻa e kau ʻapositoló pea ʻi he fevahevaheʻakí,” ko e fakamatala ia ʻa Luké. (Ngāue 2:41, 42, NW) ʻIo, naʻa nau fakatahataha fakataha ki he ako Tohitapú mo e feohí pea ko ia ai, naʻe tānaki mai ai kinautolu, pe hoko ko ha konga ʻo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané. Naʻe maʻu fakataha tuʻumaʻu ʻa e muʻaki kau Kalisitiané ki he fakahinohino fakalaumālié. (Hepelu 10:25) ʻOku toe fai eni ʻe he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova he ʻaho ní, pea te nau saiʻia ke fakalototoʻaʻi koe ke ke maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakatahá ni fakataha mo kinautolu.
24. Ko e hā ʻa e “moʻui moʻoni,” pea ʻe anga-fēfē pea ko ʻafē ʻe fakahoko aí?
24 ʻOku muimui he taimí ni ʻa e laui miliona ʻi he hala ʻefiʻefi ʻoku taki atu ki he moʻuí. Ko e nofo ʻi he hala ʻefiʻefi ko ení ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ai ʻa e feinga moʻoni! (Mātiu 7:13, 14) Naʻe fakahaaʻi eni ʻe Paula ʻi heʻene kole loto-māfana: “Tau ʻa e tau lelei ʻo e tui, puke ki he moʻui taʻengata, ʻa ia ne ui koe ki ai.” ʻOku fiemaʻu ʻa e fai ʻo e faitau ko ení ke “puke ki he moʻui moʻoni.” (1 Timote 6:12, 19) Ko e moʻui ko iá ʻoku ʻikai ko e moʻui lolotonga ia ʻo e felāngaaki mo e mamahi mo e faingataʻaʻia ʻoku ʻomai kiate kitautolu ʻe he faiangahala ʻa ʻĀtamá. Ka, ko e moʻui ia ʻi he māmani foʻou ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia kuo vavé ni ke fakahoko ʻi he taimi ʻe ngāueʻaki ai ʻa e feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Kalaisí maʻá e kau ʻofa kotoa kia Sihova ko e ʻOtuá pea mo hono ʻAló hili hono toʻo atu ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu ko ʻeni ʻo e ngaahi meʻá. ʻOfa ke tau fili kotoa ki he moʻuí—“ki he moʻui moʻoni”—ʻa e moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmani foʻou lāngilangiʻia ʻa e ʻOtuá.
