“Ka ko koe, ke ke feinga ke fakaha koe ki he ʻOtua ʻoku ke tuʻu mo e lau; ko e tangata ngaue ʻoku ʻikai mā, ko hoʻo tofa totonu ʻa e folofola ʻo e moʻoni.”—2 Timote 2:15.

ʻOKU fiemaʻu ki he kau ngāué ʻa e meʻangāue ke tokoni kiate kinautolu ke lava ai ʻenau ngaahi ngāué. Neongo ia, ʻoku ʻikai feʻunga ke maʻu pē ha faʻahinga meʻangāue. ʻOku fiemaʻu ʻe ha tokotaha ngāue ʻa e meʻangāue totonú, pea kuo pau ke ne ngāueʻaki ia ʻi he founga totonú.

Ka ko hono ngāueʻaki totonu ʻa e ngaahi meʻangāué ʻoku tokoni ia kiate kitautolu ke lavaʻi ʻa e ngaahi ngafá fakataha mo ha ngaahi ola fakafiemālie.
2 ʻI he tuʻunga ko e kau Kalisitiané, ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngāue ke tau fai. Ko e ngāue ia ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi tahá. Naʻe enginaki ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ki hono kau muimuí ke nau ‘fuofua kumi ae buleagá.’ (Mātiu 6:33, PM) ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fai ia?

(Mātiu 24:14; 28:19, 20; Ngāue 8:25; 1 Pita 2:12) Ke hoko ʻo ola lelei mo fiefia ʻi he vāhenga-ngāue faka-Kalisitiane ko ʻení, ʻoku fiemaʻu kia kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻangāue feʻungamālie pea mo e ʻilo ki he founga ke ngāueʻaki totonu ai kinautolú. ʻI he tafaʻaki ko ʻení, naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha tokotaha ngāue faka-Kalisitiané, pea naʻá ne fakaʻaiʻai hono ngaahi kaungātuí ke nau faʻifaʻitaki ange kiate ia.

3. Ko e hā ʻoku malava ai ke pehē ko e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ko ha tokotaha ngāue faivelenga ʻo e Puleʻangá?
3 Ko e faʻahinga tokotaha ngāue fēfē ʻa Paula? Naʻá ne faivelenga moʻoni. Naʻe fakaongosiaʻi fakafitefitaʻa ʻe Paula ʻa ia tonu, ʻo fakamafola atu ʻa e ongoongo leleí ki he fuʻu ʻēlia takatakai ʻi he Metiteleniané. ʻI hono ʻomai ha ʻuhinga ki heʻene fanongonongo loto-māfana ʻa e Puleʻangá, naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻapositolo taʻehelaʻiá ni: “He neongo ʻeku malangaʻaki ʻa e Kosipeli, talaʻehai ʻoku ou maʻu ai ha polepoleʻanga: he ko ha fatongia ia kuo hilifaki mai; ʻio, hoto ʻoiaue, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te u malangaʻaki ʻa e Kosipeli!” (1 Kolinito 9:16) Naʻe mahuʻingaʻia ʻa Paula ʻi hono fakahaofi ʻa ʻene moʻui pē ʻaʻaná? ʻIkai. Naʻe ʻikai ko ha tokotaha siokita ia. ʻI hono kehé, naʻá ne holi ke maʻu ʻaonga foki mo e niʻihi kehé mei he ongoongo leleí. Naʻá ne tohi: “ʻIlonga ha meʻa ʻoku ou fai, ʻoku ou fai koeʻuhi ko e Kosipeli, koeʻuhi ke u ʻinasi ai fakataha mo e kakai kehe.”—1 Kolinito 9:23.
4. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻangāue ʻoku fakamahuʻingaʻi lahi taha ʻe he kau ngāue faka-Kalisitiané?

Hangē tofu pē ko hono fiemaʻu ki ha tokotaha tufunga ha hāmalá, naʻe fiemaʻu kia Paula ʻa e meʻangāue totonu ke fakahūhū ʻaki ʻa e moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he loto ʻo ʻene kau fanongó. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻangāue naʻá ne ngāueʻaki tefitó? Ko e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻa e Ngaahi Konga Tohitapu Māʻoniʻoní. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ko e Tohitapú fakakātoa ʻa e meʻangāue tefito ʻoku tau ngāueʻaki ke tokoni kiate kitautolu ʻi he ngaohi ākongá.
5. Ke hoko ko e kau faifekau ola leleí, ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fai ʻo tānaki atu ki he fakamatala mei he ngaahi konga Tohitapú?
5 Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Paula ko hono tofa totonu ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ia ʻi he fakamatala pē mei aí. Naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e “fakalotoʻi.” (Ngāue 28:23, NW) Anga-fēfē? Naʻe ngāueʻaki lavameʻa ʻe Paula ʻa e Folofola tohi ʻa e ʻOtuá ke fakatuipauʻi ʻaki ʻa e tokolahi ke nau tali ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e Puleʻangá. Naʻá ne fakaʻuhinga mo kinautolu. ʻI he māhina ʻe tolu ʻi ha sinakoke ʻi ʻEfesō, naʻe hanga ai ʻe Paula “ʻo fai ha ngaahi malanga mo ngāueʻaki ʻa e fakalotoʻi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.” Neongo “naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e niʻihi ʻi he fakafefeka ʻo kinautolu tonu mo ʻikai tui,” naʻe fanongo ʻa e niʻihi kehé ia. Ko hono ola ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Paula ʻi ʻEfesoó, “naʻe hanganaki tupu mo ikuna ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová.”—Ngāue 19:8, 9, 20, NW.
6, 7. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakalāngilangiʻi ʻe Paula ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú, pea ʻe lava fēfē ke tau fai ʻa e meʻa tatau?
6 ʻI he tuʻunga ko ha tokotaha fanongonongo faivelenga ʻo e Puleʻangá, naʻe hanga ai ʻe Paula ʻo ‘fakalāngilangiʻi ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú.’ (Loma 11:13, NW) Anga-fēfē? Naʻe ʻikai te ne mahuʻingaʻia ʻi hono hiki hake iá; pea naʻe ʻikai te ne mā ke ʻiloa ia ʻe he kakaí ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi kaungāngāue ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI hono kehé, naʻá ne vakai ki heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú ko e tuʻunga lāngilangi lahi tahá ia. Naʻe tofa pōtoʻi mo ola lelei ʻe Paula ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻe hanga ʻe heʻene ngāue fua lahí ʻo tokonaki ʻa e fakaueʻiloto ki he niʻihi kehé, ʻo tokoni ki hono ueʻi kinautolu ke fakahoko kakato ange ʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú. Naʻe toe fakalāngilangiʻi foki ʻi he foungá ni ʻa ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú.
7 ʻI he hangē ko Paulá, ʻoku malava ke tau fakalāngilangiʻi ʻetau ngāue ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau faifekaú ʻaki hono ngāueʻaki tuʻumaʻu mo ola lelei ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI he ngaahi tafaʻaki kotoa ʻo ʻetau malaʻe fakafaifekaú, ʻoku totonu ko ʻetau taumuʻá ia ke vahevahe atu ha meʻa mei he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú ki he kakai tokolahi taha ʻe malavá. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fai ʻeni fakataha mo e fakalotoʻí? Fakakaukau angé ki he ngaahi founga mahuʻinga ʻe tolu: (1) Fakahanga ʻa e tokangá ki he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi ha founga te ne fakatupunga ai hano fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ia. (2) Fakamatala pōtoʻi pea ngāueʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he Tohitapú. (3) Fakaʻuhinga mei he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú ʻi ha founga ʻoku fakatupu tuipau.
8. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻangāue ki he malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻoku tau ala maʻu he ʻaho ní, pea kuo anga-fēfē hoʻo ngāueʻaki kinautolú?

Ko hono moʻoní, ko ʻetau meʻangāue lelei tahá ko e Tohitapú, pea ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fakaʻaongaʻi lelei mo ngāueʻaki totonu ʻa e meʻangāue mātuʻaki mahuʻingá ni.
Ko ʻEtau Ngāue Fakafaifekaú Kuo Pau ke Faiaka Ia ʻi he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá
9, 10. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ko e hā ʻoku malava ke tau ako mei he akonaki ʻa Paula kia Tīmoté?

10 Ko e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi naʻe liliu ko e “tofa totonu” ʻoku ʻuhinga fakaelea ia ko e “tuʻusi hangatonu” pe “ke kosiʻi ha foʻi hala ʻi ha ʻalunga hangatonu.” Ko e enginaki pē ʻa Paula kia Tīmoté ʻoku ngāueʻaki ai ʻa e foʻi lea ko iá ʻi he Ngaahi Konga Tohitapu Faka-Kalisi Kalisitiané. ʻOku malava ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e foʻi lea tatau ke fakamatalaʻi ha palau ʻo ha luo hangatonu ʻi ha konga kelekele. Ko ha pikopiko ʻa e ʻotú ʻe fakamoʻoniʻi papau ko ha meʻa fakamā ia ki ha tangata faama taukei.

Naʻe ʻikai fiemaʻu ke fakaʻatā ʻe Tīmote ʻene vakai fakafoʻituituí ke ne tākiekina ʻene akonakí. Naʻe fiemaʻu ke ne fakatefito ʻene ngāue fakamalangá mo ʻene faiakó ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú.
