“Ka kuo pehe, pea ko e tangata koe ʻoku ke akonekina ʻa e kakai kehe, kae ʻikai fai ha ako kiate koe, ʻo?”—Loma 2:21.
1, 2. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻokú ke maʻu ʻi he loto ke ako ʻa e Tohitapú?
ʻOKÚ KE maʻu nai ʻa e ʻuhinga lahi ki hono ako ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ngalingali ʻokú ke loto ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi foʻi moʻoni ʻoku ʻi aí—fekauʻaki mo e kakaí, ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hokó, ngaahi feituʻú, mo e ngaahi meʻa kehé. ʻOkú ke loto ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e moʻoni fakatokāteline ʻa ia ʻoku kehe mei he ngaahi hala fakalotú, hangē ko e Tolu-Tahaʻi-ʻOtuá pe ko e afi ʻo helí. (Sione 8:32) ʻOku toe totonu foki ke ke loto ke hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi lelei ange ʻa Sihova koeʻuhi ke lava ʻo ke hoko lahi ange ai ʻo hangē ko iá pea ʻaʻeva ʻi hono ʻaó ʻi ha tōʻonga faitotonu.—1 Tuʻi 15:4, 5.
2 Ko ha ʻuhinga felāveʻi mo ia mo mahuʻinga ke ako ai ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ko hono teuʻi ai koe ke ke akoʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé—ʻa e faʻahinga ʻokú ke ʻofa aí, ngaahi mahení, pea naʻa mo e faʻahinga ʻa ia ʻoku teʻeki ai nai te ke ʻiloʻí. Ko hono fai ení ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ia ke toki fili tauʻatāina ki ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní. Naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá: “Ko ia ke mou ō, ʻo ngaohi ʻa e ngāhi kakai kotoa pe ko ʻeku kau ako, . . . mo e akoʻi kinautolu ke tauhi ʻa e ngāhi meʻa kotoa pe kuo u tuʻutuʻuni atu.”—Mātiu 28:19, 20.
3, 4. Ko e hā ʻoku fakaongoongoleleiʻi atu ai kiate koe ke ke faiako ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sīsuú?
3 Ko hono ako ʻa e Tohitapú fakataha mo ha holi ke akoʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻoku taau ia ke fakaongoongoleleiʻi pea ʻe lava ke hoko ia ko ha matavai ʻo e fiemālie tuʻuloa. Ko e faiakó ko ha ngāue ia kuo fuoloa ʻa hono fakaongoongoleleiʻi. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Encarta Encyclopedia: “ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Siú, naʻe vakai ai ʻa e kakai lalahi tokolahi ki he kau faiakó ko e ngaahi tataki ia ki he fakamoʻuí pea uki ʻenau fānaú ke fakaʻapaʻapa ki heʻenau kau faiakó ʻo toe lahi ange ia ʻi he fai ki heʻenau ngaahi mātuʻá.” ʻOku tautefito ʻa e taau ke fakaongoongoleleiʻí ki he kau Kalisitiané ke nau akoʻi kinautolu ʻaki hono ako ʻa e Tohitapú pea toki akoʻi leva ʻa e niʻihi kehé.
4 “ʻOku kau ʻa e kakai tokolahi ange ʻi he faiakó ʻi ha toe ngāue kehe. Ko e kakai tangata mo e kakai fefine nai ʻe toko 48 miliona ʻi he māmaní kotoa ko e kau faiako.” (The World Book Encyclopedia) ʻOku tuku ki ha faiako fakaemāmani ʻa e fatongia ki hono fakahinohinoʻi ʻa e toʻutupú pea ʻe lava ke ne tākiekina kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi taʻu hoko maí. ʻOku aʻu ʻo lahi ange ʻa e olá ia ʻi he taimi ʻokú ke talangofua ai ki he fekau ʻa Sīsū ke akoʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé; ʻe lava ke ke tākiekina kinautolu fakataha mo e vakai atu ki ʻitāniti. Naʻe fakamamafaʻi eni ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻi heʻene enginaki kia Tīmoté: “Lamalama kiate koe mo e meʻa ʻoku ke akoʻaki: ke ke nofoʻaki fai ʻa e ongo meʻa ko ia; he ʻi hoʻo fai pehe, te ke fakamoʻui koe mo kinautolu foki ʻoku fanongo kiate koe.” (1 Timote 4:16, fakaʻītali ʻamautolu.) ʻIo, ko hoʻo faiakó ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e fakamoʻui.
5. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku ʻi he tuʻunga māʻolunga taha ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku akoʻi ʻe he Kalisitiané?
5 Ko hono akoʻi koe pea toki hoko ki he niʻihi kehé ʻoku fakamafaiʻi ia mo fakahinohinoʻi ʻe he Matavai māʻolunga tahá, ko e Hau ʻo e ʻunivēsí. Ko e meʻa ko iá pē taha ʻokú ne ʻai ʻa e malaʻe ʻo e faiakó ke toe mahuʻinga ange ia ʻi ha faʻahinga faiako fakaemāmani pē, pe ko e akoʻi ʻo e ngaahi lēsoni tefitó, ngaahi pōtoʻi fakaengāue, pe naʻa mo e ngaahi tuʻunga fakafaitoʻó. Ko e faiako ʻa e Kalisitiané ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke ako fakafoʻituitui ʻa e tokotaha akó ke faʻifaʻitaki ki he ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa Kalaisi Sīsū, pea ke akoʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau fai ʻa e meʻa tatau.—Sione 15:10.

Naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e foʻi moʻoni ko ení ʻi ha kupu fakatupu fakakaukau naʻe ʻi ai hono mahuʻinga ki he kau Siu ʻi he taimi ko iá ka ʻoku ʻomai ai ha pōpoaki mahuʻinga ki he kau Kalisitiane he ʻaho ní. Naʻe ʻeke ʻe Paula: “Pea ka kuo pehe, pea ko e tangata koe ʻoku ke akonekina ʻa e kakai kehe, kae ʻikai fai ha ako kiate koe, ʻo? Ko e toko taha koe ʻoku ke fanongonongo ke ʻoua naʻa kaihaʻa, ka ke kaihaʻa ʻe koe? Ko e toko taha koe ʻoku ke pehe ke ʻoua naʻa tono fefine, ka ke tono fefine ʻe koe? Ko e toko taha koe ʻoku ke fakaliliʻa ki he aitoli, ka ke kaihaʻa pe mei he fale-aitoli [“temipalé,” NW], ʻo? ʻA, ʻa koe ʻoku ke polepole ʻi ha lao, ʻoku ke fakaongokovi ʻa e ʻOtua ʻaki hoʻo maumauʻi ʻa e Lao.”—Loma 2:21-23.
7 ʻI hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e fehuʻi ke tali lotó, naʻe ʻohake ai ʻe Paula ʻa e ongo meʻa hala ʻe ua naʻe lea fakahangatonu ki ai ʻa e Fekau ʻe Hongofulú: ʻOua ʻe kaihaʻa pea ʻoua ʻe tono ʻunoho. (Ekisoto 20:14, 15) Ko e kau Siu ʻe niʻihi ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Paulá naʻa nau laukauʻaki ʻenau maʻu ʻa e Lao ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻe ‘akonekina [tala ngutu] kinautolu mei he Laó; pea ko e faʻahinga ke taki hala ki he kakai kuí, ke fakamaama ki he kakai ʻi he poʻulí, ke akoʻi ʻa e kakai kei tamaikí.’ (Loma 2:17-20) Kae kehe, ko e niʻihi naʻa nau mālualoi koeʻuhi naʻa nau fai fakapulipuli ʻa e kaihaʻá pe ko e tonó. ʻE ʻikai fakalāngilangiʻi ʻi he meʻa ko iá fakatouʻosi ʻa e Laó pea mo hono Tokotaha-Faʻu ʻi hēvaní. ʻOku lava ke ke sio heni naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke nau taau ke akoʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé; naʻe ʻikai moʻoni ke nau akoʻi naʻa mo kinautolu tonu.
8. Naʻe anga-fēfē nai ʻa e ‘kaihaʻa ʻi he ngaahi temipalé’ ʻa e kau Siu ʻe niʻihi ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Paulá?
8 Naʻe lave ʻa Paula ki he kaihaʻa mei he ngaahi temipalé. Naʻe fai moʻoni ia ʻe ha kau Siu? Ko e hā naʻe ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa Paulá? Ko hono moʻoní, ʻi he vakai atu ki he fakamatala fakangatangata ʻi he kupu ko ení, ʻoku ʻikai lava ke tau fakapapauʻi ʻa e founga naʻe ‘kaihaʻa ai mei he temipalé’ ʻa e kau Siu ʻe niʻihi. Ki muʻa aí naʻe talaki ai ʻe he sekelitali ʻo e kolo ko ʻEfesoó ko e ongo kaungāmeʻa ʻo Paulá naʻe ʻikai ko e ongo ‘kaihaʻa temipale,’ ʻa ia ʻoku fokotuʻu mai ai naʻe fakakaukau ʻi ha tuʻunga ʻa e kakai ʻe niʻihi naʻe lava ke tukuakiʻi ʻa e kau Siú ki he meʻa ko iá. (Ngāue 19:29-37, NW) Naʻá na ngāueʻaki fakafoʻituitui pe ngāue fakakomēsiale ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga naʻe haʻu mei he ngaahi temipale pangani ʻa ia naʻe vete ʻe he kau ikuná pe ko e kau faivelenga fakalotú? Fakatatau ki he lao ʻa e ʻOtuá, ko e koula mo e siliva ʻo e ngaahi ʻaitolí naʻe pau ke fakaʻauha ia, ʻo ʻikai feʻunga ke ngāueʻaki fakafoʻituitui. (Teutalonome 7:25)a Ko ia ai, naʻe lave nai ʻa Paula ia ki he kau Siu ʻa ia naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa e fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá pea ngāueʻaki pe maʻu ʻaonga mei he ngaahi meʻa naʻe tupu mei he ngaahi temipale panganí.

10. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻe fakataumuʻa ki ai ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Paula ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he Loma 2:21-23 ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke tau liʻakí?

Naʻá ne ʻeke: “Ka kuo pehe, pea ko e tangata koe ʻoku ke akonekina ʻa e kakai kehe, kae ʻikai fai ha ako kiate koe, ʻo?” ʻOku taau ke fakatokangaʻi ko e ngaahi fakatātā naʻe ʻohake ʻe Paulá naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo e ʻulungāngá.

11 Ke tau ngāueʻaki ʻa e lēsoni ʻo e Loma 2:21-23 ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ko hono ako ʻa e ʻulungaanga faka-Kalisitiané mei he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ngāue ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa ʻoku tau akó, pea fakahinohinoʻi leva ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau fai ʻa e meʻa tatau. Ko ia ai, ʻi hoʻo ako ʻa e Tohitapú, tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa Sihová, ʻa ia ʻoku haʻu mei ai ʻa e ʻulungaanga faka-Kalisitiane moʻoní.

Pea ko hono fai iá ʻoku fiemaʻu moʻoni ai ʻa e loto-toʻa fakataha mo e fakapapau. ʻOku faingofua ki he faʻahinga taʻehaohaoa ʻo e tangatá ke faʻu ha ngaahi kalofanga, ko e ngaahi fakaʻuhinga ki he ʻuhinga ke fakaʻatā ai pe aʻu ʻo fiemaʻu ke liʻaki ʻa e ʻulungaanga faka-Kalisitiané ʻi ha tuʻunga tefito. Mahalo pē ko e kau Siu naʻe lave ki ai ʻa Paulá naʻa nau taukei ʻi he fakaʻuhinga olopoto pehē naʻe fakataumuʻa ke ʻoatu ai ha ngaahi ʻuhinga taʻemoʻoni pe ke takihalaʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé.

Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku fiemaʻu mai ʻe Sihova ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau fakafofongaʻi ia ʻi hono akoʻi ʻa e Tohitapú ke nau hoko ʻa kinautolu ko e ngaahi faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei “ʻi he angamaʻa.” (1 Timote 4:12) Ko e ngaahi sīpinga moʻui ʻa e muʻaki kau ākonga pehē hangē ko Paula mo Tīmoté naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻa e anga-maʻá; naʻá na fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ʻulungaanga taʻetāú, naʻe aʻu ʻo tohi ʻe Paula: “Ka koe feauaki, moe uli kotoabe, moe manumanu, ke oua naa lea tuo taha ki ai iate kimoutolu, o hage koia oku tāu moe kaiga maonioni; Bea koe fakalielia, moe talanoa launoa, moe fie gutuhua, aia oku ikai lelei.”—Efeso 5:3, 4 (1-3), PM.

Makatuʻunga ʻi he meʻa naʻá ne mamata ai ʻi he ngaahi hongofuluʻi taʻu ʻo e moʻuí, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ko e tuʻunga ʻulungaanga faka-Kalisitiané naʻe ʻikai ke fakatupu maumau. ʻI hono kehé, naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa ʻene lelei, ʻaonga, pea hoko ko ha tāpuakí. Naʻe fakamamafaʻi eni ʻe Sione, ʻo ne tohi: “Ko e ʻofa eni ʻi he ʻOtuá: ke tau tauhi ʻa ʻene ngaahi fekaú. Pea ko ʻene ngaahi fekaú ʻoku ʻikai te ne lōmekina kitautolu.”—1 Sione 5:3, New English Translation.
21 Kae kehe, fakatokangaʻi naʻe ʻikai ke fakahaaʻi ʻe Sione ko e talangofua ki he ʻOtuá ʻaki ʻa e ʻulungaanga faka-Kalisitiané ʻoku hoko ia ko e ʻalunga lelei tahá koeʻuhi pē ʻokú ne fakahaofi kitautolu mei he ngaahi palopalemá, mei he nunuʻa kovi ʻo hono fai ha meʻa kehé. Naʻá ne fakahaaʻi totonu ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ʻaki hono ʻuluaki fakahaaʻi ko ha fakahāhā ia ʻo ʻetau ʻofa kia Sihova ko e ʻOtuá, ko ha faingamālie mahuʻinga ke fakahaaʻi ai ʻetau ʻofa kiate iá. Ko e moʻoni, ko hono akoʻi kita pe ko e niʻihi kehé ke ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke tau tali mo ngāueʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻunga māʻolungá. ʻIo, ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ke akoʻi kitautolu pea ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e ʻulungaanga faka-Kalisitiané.
