1. Ko e hā ʻoku lava ai ke tau fakapapauʻi ko e taumuʻa ʻa Sihova ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻe fakahoko?
NAʻE fakatupu ʻe Sihova ʻa e māmaní ke hoko ko e ʻapi taʻengata ʻo ha fāmili fakaetangata haohaoa ʻoku fiefia ʻi he moʻui taʻengatá. (Koheleti 1:4; Aisea 45:12, 18) Ko e moʻoni, ko hotau tupuʻanga ko ʻĀtamá naʻe faiangahala pea fakahoko mai ai ʻa e angahalá mo e maté ki heʻene fānaú. Ka ko e taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻe fakahoko ia fakafou mai ʻi heʻene Hako Talaʻofá, ko Sīsū Kalaisi. (Senesi 3:15; 22:18; Loma 5:12-21; Kaletia 3:16) Ko e ʻofa ki he māmani ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá naʻá ne ueʻi ʻa Sihova ke ne foaki “hono ʻAlo tofu-pe-taha-ne-fakatupu, koeʻuhi ko ia kotoa pe ʻoku tui pikitai kiate ia ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha, kae maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengata.” (Sione 3:16) Pea ko e ʻofá naʻá ne ueʻi ʻa Sīsū “ke tuku ʻene moʻui ke huhuʻiʻaki ha tokolahi, heʻene fetongi kinautolu.” (Mātiu 20:28) Ko e “fetongi huhuʻi” ko ʻení ʻokú ne totongi fakafoki mai ʻa e ngaahi totonu mo e ngaahi ʻamanaki naʻe fakamoleki ʻe ʻĀtamá pea ʻai ke ala maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá.—1 Timote 2:5, 6; Sione 17:3.
2. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakatātaaʻi ʻa e ngāue ʻa e feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Sīsuú ʻi he ʻAho ʻo e Fakalelei fakataʻu ʻa ʻIsilelí?
2 Ko hono ngāueʻaki ʻo e feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Sīsuú naʻe tuʻu fakataipe ki ai ʻa e ʻAho ʻo e Fakalelei fakataʻú. ʻI he ʻaho ko iá, naʻe ʻuluaki feilaulauʻaki ai ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahi ʻIsilelí ha pulu tangata ko ha feilaulau angahala pea ʻoatu ʻa hono totó ki he ʻAʻake toputapu ʻi he Potu Toputapu ʻo e tāpanekalé, pea ki mui mai ʻi he temipalé. Naʻe fai ʻení maʻana, ki hono fāmilí, pea mo e matakali ʻo Līvaí. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, naʻe ʻoatu ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ki he ʻOtuá ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo hono taʻataʻá ʻuluakí ke ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa hono “ngaahi tokoua” fakalaumālié. (Hepelu 2:12; 10:19-22; Livitiko 16:6, 11-14) ʻI he ʻAho Fakaleleí, naʻe toe feilaulauʻi ai ʻe he taulaʻeiki lahí ha kosi ko ha feilaulau angahala pea ʻoatu hono totó ʻi he Potu Toputapú, ʻa ia ko e fakalelei maʻá e ngaahi angahala ʻa e ngaahi matakali taʻetaulaʻeiki ʻe 12 ʻo ʻIsilelí. Pehē foki, ko e Taulaʻeiki Lahi ko Sīsū Kalaisí te ne ngāueʻaki ʻa hono taʻataʻa moʻuí maʻa kinautolu ʻi he faʻahinga ko ia ʻo e tangatá ʻoku nau ngāueʻi ʻa e tuí, ʻo tāmateʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi angahalá.—Livitiko 16:15.
Taki Atu ki he Lāngilangí
3. Fakatatau ki he Hepelu 2:9, 10, ko e hā kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtuá he taʻu ʻe 1,900?
3 ʻI he taʻu ʻe 1,900, kuo ngāueʻaki ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ha meʻa fakaofo fekauʻaki mo e “ngaahi tokoua” ʻo Sīsuú. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni, naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻaposetolo ko Paulá: “Ko e toko taha pe ʻoku tau sio ki ai, ʻa ia naʻe ngaohi ke maʻulalo siʻi pe ʻi he kau angelo, ʻa Sisu; ʻa ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene kataki ʻa e mamahi ʻo e pekia, kuo fakakalauni ʻaki ʻa e langilangi mo e fakaʻapaʻapa; koeʻuhi ʻi he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtua ke ne kamata ʻa e mate maʻa e tangata taki taha. He naʻe tāu mo [Sihova ko e ʻOtuá], ʻa ia ʻoku maʻana ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe, pea ʻoku fou ʻiate ia ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe, ke ne taki ki he langilangi ha ngaahi foha tokolahi, heʻene fakahaohaoa ʻa e Takimuʻa ʻo honau fakamoʻui ʻi heʻene kataki ʻa e ngaahi mamahi.” (Hepelu 2:9, 10) Ko e Takimuʻa ʻo e fakamoʻuí ko Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻa ia naʻá ne ako ke talangofua haohaoa fakafou ʻi he ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne faingataʻaʻia ai he lolotonga ʻene moʻui ko ha tangata ʻi he māmaní. (Hepelu 5:7-10) Ko Sīsū ʻa e ʻuluaki tokotaha ke fanauʻi ko ha ʻalo fakalaumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá.
4. ʻAnefē pea ʻi he founga fē naʻe fanauʻi ai ʻa Sīsū ko e ʻAlo fakalaumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá?
4 Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní, pe ivi ngāué, ke fanauʻi ʻa Sīsū ko hono ʻAlo fakalaumālie, koeʻuhi ke taki ia ki he lāngilangi fakahēvaní. Lolotonga ko ia pē mo Sione Papitaiso, naʻe foua ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e fakauku kakato ʻi he vaí ke fakaʻilongaʻiʻaki ʻa hono foaki atu ʻo ia tonu ki he ʻOtuá. ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakamatala Kōsipeli ʻa Luké: “ʻI he ʻosi papitaiso ʻa e kakai, pea kuo papitaiso mo Sisu foki, pea ʻoku ne fai ʻene hu, ʻiloange naʻe matangaki ʻa e langi, pea ʻalu hifo kiate ia ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻi ha sino naʻe tatau mo ha lupe; pea naʻe ai ha leʻo mei he langi naʻe pehē mai, Ko hoku ʻAlo Pele koe, ko koe kuo u hōifua ai.” (Luke 3:21, 22) Naʻe sio ʻa Sione ki he laumālie māʻoniʻoní naʻe ʻalu hifo kia Sīsū pea fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova ʻo fakahāhā ʻa ʻene hōifua ʻiate ia ko Hono ʻAlo pelé. ʻI he taimi ko iá pea ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, naʻe fakatupu ai ʻe Sihova ʻa Sīsū ko e ʻuluaki tokotaha ʻo e ‘ngaahi foha tokolahi ʻoku taki ki he lāngilangí.’
5. Ko hai kuo ʻuluaki ʻaonga ki ai ʻa e feilaulau ʻa Sīsuú, pea ko e hā honau tokolahí?
5 Kuo hoko ʻa e “ngaahi tokoua” ʻo Sīsuú ko e ʻuluaki faʻahinga ia kuo nau maʻu ʻa e ʻaonga ʻo ʻene feilaulaú. (Hepelu 2:12-18) ʻI ha vīsone, naʻe sio ai ʻa e ʻaposetolo ko Sioné kiate kinautolu kuo nau ʻosi ʻi he lāngilangi ʻi he Moʻunga Saione fakahēvaní fakataha mo e Lamí, ko e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisi kuo toetuʻú. Naʻe toe fakahā ʻe Sione honau tokolahí, ʻo pehē: “Pea u vakai, pea ta naʻe tuʻu ʻa e Lami ʻi he funga moʻunga ko Saione, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ha toko taha kilu ma toko fa mano ma toko fa afe, ʻa ia kuo tohi ki honau laʻe ʻa hono huafa, mo e huafa oʻene Tamai. . . . Ko kinautolu ia naʻe fakatau mei he kakai, ko e fuatapu maʻa e ʻOtua mo e Lami. Pea ʻi honau ngutu naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ai ha loi: ʻoku nau taʻemele.” (Fakahā 14:1-5) Ko ia ko e ‘ngaahi foha tokolahi ʻoku taki ki he langilangi’ ʻi hēvaní ko e toko 144,001—ko Sīsū mo hono ngaahi tokoua fakalaumālié.
“Fanauʻi mei he ʻOtua”
6, 7. Ko hai ʻoku “fanauʻi mei he ʻOtua,” pea ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ia kiate kinautolú?
6 Ko e faʻahinga ko ia kuo fanauʻi ʻe Sihová ʻoku “fanauʻi mei he ʻOtua.” ʻI he lave ki he faʻahingá ni, naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻaposetolo ko Sioné: “Ko ia kotoa pe kuo fanauʻi mei he ʻOtua, ʻoku ʻikai ke fai angahala: koeʻuhi ʻoku nofo maʻu ʻiate ia ʻa e tenga ʻo ʻEne ʻAfio [ʻa Sihova]: pea talaʻehai ʻoku ne lava ke angahala, he kuo fanauʻi ia mei he ʻOtua.” (1 Sione 3:9) Ko e “tenga” ko ʻení ko e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ia ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI he ngāue ʻo fehoanaki mo ʻene folofolá, kuo ʻoange ai ki he tokotaha taki taha ʻo e toko 144,000 ha “fanauʻi foou” ki ha ʻamanaki fakahēvani.—1 Pita 1:3-5, 23, PM.
7 Naʻe hoko ʻa Sīsū ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi hono ʻaloʻi mai ko e tangatá, ʻo hangē pē ko e tangata haohaoa ko ʻĀtamá naʻe hoko ko e “foha ʻo e ʻOtua.” (Luke 1:35; 3:38) Kae kehe, ʻi he hili ʻa e papitaiso ʻo Sīsuú, naʻe mahuʻingá he naʻe talaki ai ʻe Sihova: “Ko hoku ʻAlo Pele koe; ko koe kuo u hōifua ai.” (Maake 1:11) ʻI he fanongonongo ko ʻení fakataha mo e hifo ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, naʻe hā mahino ai naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Sīsū ko Hono ʻAlo fakalaumālie. ʻI he tuʻu fakaefakatātaá, naʻe ʻoange kia Sīsū ha “fanauʻi foʻou” fakataha mo e totonu ke ne toe maʻu ʻa e moʻui naʻá ne ʻosi maʻu ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha ʻAlo laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi hēvani. Hangē pē ko iá, ko hono ngaahi tokoua fakalaumālie ʻe toko 144,000 ʻoku “fanauʻi foʻou.” (Sione 3:1-8; sio ki he The Watchtower, Nōvema 15, 1992, peesi 3-6.) ʻI he toe hangē ko Sīsuú, ʻoku pani kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá pea fekauʻi mai ke fanongonongo ʻa e ongoongo leleí.—Aisea 61:1, 2; Luke 4:16-21; 1 Sione 2:20.
Fakamoʻoni ʻo e Fanauʻí
8. Ko e hā ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻo e fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié ʻi he meʻa fekauʻaki mo (a) Sīsū (e) ko ʻene muʻaki kau ākongá?
8 Naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e fakamoʻoni ko Sīsuú naʻe fanauʻi ʻe he laumālie. Naʻe sio ʻa Sione Papitaiso ki he ʻalu hifo ʻa e laumālié kia Sīsuú pea fanongo ki he fanongonongo ʻa e ʻOtuá fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga-ʻalo fakalaumālie ʻo e Mīsaia naʻe toki paní. Ka ʻe ʻilo fēfē ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú kuo fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié kinautolu? Sai, ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻene hāʻele hake ki hēvaní, naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Naʻe papitaiso vai pe ʻe Sione; ka ʻe papitaiso kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni hili ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho siʻi.” (Ngāue 1:5) Naʻe papitaiso ʻa e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú “ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni” ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S. Ko hono huaʻi hifo ko ia ʻo e laumālié naʻe haʻu fakataha ‘mo ha mumuhu ʻo ha fuʻu tuʻoni matangi mei he langí’ pea ko “ha ngaahi ʻelelo hange ha afi” naʻe ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ākonga taki taha. Ko e meʻa naʻe fakaofo lahi tahá ko e malava ʻa e kau ākongá “ʻo lea ʻi he ngaahi lea kehe, ʻo fakatatau ki he fakaleaʻi kinautolu ʻe he laumālie.” Ko ia naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e fakamoʻoni hā mai mo lava ke fanongo ki ai ko e hala ko ia ki he lāngilangi fakahēvaní ʻi he hoko ko e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtuá naʻe fakaava ia ki he kau muimui ʻo Kalaisí.—Ngāue 2:1-4, 14-21; Sioeli 2:28, 29.
9. Ko e hā ʻa e fakamoʻoni naʻe ʻi ai ko e kau Samēliá, Koliniusi, mo e niʻihi kehe ʻo e ʻuluaki senitulí naʻe fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié?
9 Hili ha taimi mei ai, naʻe malanga ʻa e ʻevangeliō ko Filipé ʻi Samēlia. Neongo naʻe tali ʻe he kau Samēliá ʻa ʻene pōpoakí pea nau papitaiso, naʻe ʻikai te nau maʻu ha fakamoʻoni ne fanauʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ko hono ngaahi foha. ʻI he taimi naʻe lotu ai ʻa e ʻaposetolo ko Pitá mo Sione pea hili hona nimá ki he kau tui ko iá, naʻe kamata ke “nau maʻu ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni” ʻi ha founga naʻe hā mahino ki he kau vakai maí. (Ngāue 8:4-25) Naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he meʻá ni kuo fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié ʻa e kau tui Samēlia ko ʻení ko e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ʻi he 36 T.S., naʻe tali ai ʻe Koliniusi mo e kau Senitaile kehe ʻa e moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko Pita mo e kau tui Siu naʻe ō mo iá “naʻa nau fakatumutumu, koeʻuhi ko e huaʻi ki he Senitaile foki ʻa e meʻaʻofa ko e laumālie māʻoniʻoni. He naʻa nau fanongo kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau leaʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea kehekehe, mo fakahikihiki ʻa e ʻOtua.” (Ngāue 10:44-48) Ko e tokolahi ʻo e kau Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e “gaahi foaki fakalaumalie,” hangē ko e lea ʻi he ngaahi lea kehé. (1 Kolinito 14:12, 32, PM) Ko ia, naʻe maʻu ʻe he faʻahinga tāutaha ko ʻení ʻa e fakamoʻoni hā mahino ne fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié kinautolu. Ka ʻe ʻilo fēfē ʻe he kau Kalisitiane ki muí pe kuo fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié kinautolu pe ʻikai?

10 Kuo maʻu ʻe he kau Kalisitiane pani kotoa ʻe toko 144,000 ʻa e fakamoʻoni fakaʻaufuli ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI he meʻá ni, naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Naʻa mou maʻu ʻa e Laumalie anga-faka-tama-ohi; pea ʻi heʻetau ʻiate ia ʻoku tau kalanga, Apa Tamai. Ko e Laumālie ʻoku ne kaungā-fakamoʻoni ʻe ia mo hotau laumalie, ʻo pehe, ko e fanau ʻa e ʻOtua ʻa kitautolu. Pea kapau ko e fanau, ta ko e ngaahi ea foki, ko e ngaahi ea ʻo e ʻOtua, pea kaungā-ea mo Kalaisi; ʻo kapauā ʻoku tau kaungā-mamahi mo ia, ka tau kaungā-hakeakiʻi foki mo ia.” (Loma 8:15-17) Kuo maʻu ʻe he kau Kalisitiane paní ha laumālie taau mo e fānau ki heʻenau Tamai fakahēvaní, ko ha faʻahinga ongoʻi mālohi ʻo e tuʻunga ko e fohá. (Kaletia 4:6, 7) ʻOku nau fakapapauʻi fakaʻaufuli kuo fanauʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ki he tuʻunga ko e foha fakalaumālie ʻo hoko ko e kau kaungā-ʻea mo Kalaisi ʻi he Puleʻanga fakahēvaní. ʻI he meʻá ni, ʻoku fakahoko ai ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sihová ha ngafa pau.
11 ʻI he malumalu ʻo e tākiekina ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá, ko e laumālié, pe faʻahinga ongo mālohi ʻi he kau paní, ʻokú ne ueʻi kinautolu ke nau fai ha tali ʻi ha founga pau ki he meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻamanaki fakahēvaní. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau lau ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú ʻo fekauʻaki mo e fānau fakalaumālie ʻa Sihová, ʻoku nau lāuʻilo leva ko e ngaahi lea ko iá ʻoku kaunga ia kiate kinautolu. (1 Sione 3:2) ʻOku nau ʻilo kuo “papitaiso, ʻo fakahoko ai kia Sisu Kalaisi” ʻa kinautolu pea ki heʻene pekiá. (Loma 6:3) Ko ʻenau tui pau loto-maʻú ko e ngaahi foha laumālie kinautolu ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia te nau mate pea ʻe fokotuʻu kinautolu ki he lāngilangi fakahēvaní, ʻo hangē ko Sīsuú.
12. Ko e hā kuo fakatupu ʻe he laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he kau Kalisitiane paní?
12 ʻI hono fanauʻi ki he tuʻunga ko e foha fakalaumālié ʻoku ʻikai ko ha holi ia naʻe ohi hake. ʻOku ʻikai ko e fie ʻalu ki hēvani ʻa e faʻahinga ia ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié koeʻuhi ko e faingataʻaʻia ʻi he ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku lolotonga hoko ʻi he māmaní. (Siope 14:1) Ka, kuo fakatupu ʻe he laumālie ʻo Sihová ʻi he kau pani moʻoní ha ʻamanaki mo ha holi ʻoku ʻikai angamaheni ki ai ʻa e faʻahinga ia ʻo e tangatá fakalūkufua. ʻOku ʻilo ʻe he faʻahinga ko ʻeni ʻoku fanauʻi peheé, ko e moʻui taʻengata ʻi he haohaoa fakaetangata, ʻi ha māmani palataisi ʻoku takatakaiʻi ʻe ha fāmili mo e ngaahi kaumeʻa fiefiá ʻe fisifisimuʻa ia. Kae kehe, ko e moʻui peheé ia ʻoku ʻikai ko e holi tefito ia ʻo honau lotó. ʻOku maʻu ʻe he kau paní ia ʻa e ngaahi ʻamanaki mālohi fakahēvani, ʻoku nau feilaulauʻi loto-lelei ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻamanaki kotoa ki he māmaní mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kau ki aí.—2 Pita 1:13, 14.

Pea koeni, ko ia naʻa ne fai homau teu ki he meʻa ko ia ko e ʻOtua, mo ne tuku mai hono meʻa-fakaʻamanaki ko e Laumalie.” (2 Kolinito 5:1-5) Ko e ‘holi tōtōivi’ ia ʻa Paulá ke ne toetuʻu ki hēvani ko ha meʻamoʻui laumālie taʻefaʻamate. ʻI he lave ki he sino fakaetangatá, naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e lea fakatātā ki ha tēniti holo, ko ha nofoʻanga pelepelengesi mo fakataimi ʻi hono fakahoa atu ki ha fale. Neongo ʻa e moʻui ʻi he māmaní ʻi ha sino, fakakakano matengofuá, ko e kau Kalisitiane ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e laumālié ko ha meʻa-fakaʻamanaki ki he moʻui fakahēvani ʻe hoko maí ʻoku nau fakatuʻamelie atu ki ha “fale langa ʻe he ʻOtua,” ko ha sino laumālie taʻefaʻamate, taʻefaʻaʻauha.

16 Ko e ʻuluaki ngāue ʻa e feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Sīsuú ko hono ʻai ke malava ki he toko 144,000 ke ui ki he moʻui fakahēvaní pea fili ʻaki ʻa e hoko ʻo fanauʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻaki ʻa e laumālié. Ke taki ki he langilangí, ko hono moʻoní, kuo pau ke ‘ʻasili ʻenau feinga ke ʻai ke pau honau uí mo honau filí,’ pea kuo pau ke nau fakamoʻoniʻi ʻenau anga-tonú ʻo aʻu ki he maté. (2 Pita 1:10; Efeso 1:3-7; Fakahā 2:10) Ko e kiʻi toenga ʻo e kau paní ʻoku nau kei ʻi he māmaní ʻoku nau tauhi maʻu ʻenau anga-tonú neongo ʻa hono fakafepakiʻi ʻe he ‘tuʻi ʻe toko hongofulu’ ʻoku nau fakatātaaʻi ʻa e ngaahi mafai fakapolitikalé kotoa. “Ko kinautolu ni te nau fai tau mo e Lami,” ko e lea ia ʻa e ʻāngeló, “pea ʻe ikuna kinautolu ʻe he Lami: he ko e ʻEiki ia ʻo e ngaahi ʻeiki, pea ko e Tuʻi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi: pea ʻe ikuna mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate ia, he kakai kuo ui mo fili mo lototō.”—Fakahā 17:12-14.
17 Heʻikai ke lava ʻe he kau pule fakaetangatá ke fai ha meʻa kia Sīsū, ko e “Tuʻi ʻo e tuʻi,” he ʻokú ne ʻi hēvani ia. Ka ʻoku nau fai ʻa e fakafili ki he toenga ʻo hono “ngaahi tokoua” ʻoku kei ʻi he māmaní. (Fakahā 12:17) ʻE fakangata ia ʻi he tau ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi ʻĀmaketoné, ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakapapauʻi ai ʻa e ikuná ki he “Tuʻi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi” mo hono “ngaahi tokoua”—“kakai kuo ui mo fili mo lototō.” (Fakahā 16:14, 16) ʻI he taimi tatau, ʻoku mātuʻaki moʻumoʻua ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ʻoku fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻoku nau fai he taimi ní, ki muʻa pea ʻoatu kinautolu ki he lāngilangí ʻe Sihova?
