Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku ʻomai kia kitautolu ʻe Sihova ha meʻaʻofa pehē tofu pē—ko hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní. (Luke 11:13) ʻI he ngāue ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻetau moʻuí, ʻokú ne fakatupu ʻia kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga fakaʻofoʻofa ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakaleleiʻi ʻa e tafaʻaki kotoa pē ʻo ʻetau ngāue ki he ʻOtuá. Ko ha meʻaʻofa fakaofo moʻoni ia!—Lau ʻa e Kaletia 5:22, 23.

 4. Ko e hā e faʻahinga ʻofa naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa hono kau muimuí ke nau tōʻongaʻakí?

Naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kehe ko ení ʻi he Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá. (Lau ʻa e Mātiu 5:43-48.) Naʻá ne fakahaaʻi naʻa mo e kau angahalá te nau muimui ʻi ha lao ʻo e meʻa tatau ki he meʻa tatau, ʻo tōʻongafai ki he niʻihi kehé ʻo hangē ko e tōʻongafai ʻa e niʻihi kehé kia kinautolú. Ko e “ʻofa” ko iá ʻoku ʻikai kau ki ai ha feilaulau moʻoni ka ʻoku iku ia ki ha fefaiʻaki ʻo ha ngaahi meʻa lelei. Kapau ʻoku tau loto ke ‘hokosi ʻetau Tamai ʻoku ʻi Hevaní,’ kuo pau ke tau kehe. ʻI he ʻikai tōʻongafai ki he niʻihi kehé ʻo hangē ko ʻenau tōʻongafai kia kitautolú, kuo pau ke tau vakai mo tōʻongafai ki he niʻihi kehé ʻo hangē ko e vakai mo e tōʻongafai ʻa Sihova kia kinautolú. Kae kehe, ʻoku anga-fēfē malava ke tau ʻofa ki hotau ngaahi filí, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Sīsuú?

 5. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofa ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau fakatangaʻi kitautolú?

⁵ Fakakaukau angé ki ha fakatātā Fakatohitapu ʻe taha. Lolotonga ʻa e malanga ʻi Filipaí, naʻe puke ai ʻa Paula mo Sailosi, ʻo haha lahi, pea lī ki he loto pilīsoné, ʻa ia naʻe fakamaʻu ai hona vaʻé ki he ʻakau kiiʻi. ʻI he meʻa naʻe hokó, ʻoku pau pē nai naʻe ngaohikoviʻi foki kinaua ʻe he selá. ʻI hona tukuange taʻeʻamanekina ko e tupu mei ha mofuiké, naʻá na fiefia ʻi he ʻamanaki atu ke na fai ha sāuni ki he tangata ko iá? ʻIkai. Ko ʻena tokanga moʻoni ki heʻene leleí—ko ʻena ʻofa feilaulauʻi-kitá—naʻe ueʻi ai kinaua ke na ngāue fakavave maʻana, ʻo fakaʻatā ai ʻa e selá mo hono fāmilí kotoa ke nau hoko ko e kau tui. (Ng. 16:19-34) Ko e tokolahi ʻo hotau fanga tokoua ʻi onopōní kuo nau muimui tatau ʻi ha ʻalunga ʻo hono ‘tapuakiʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku fakatangaʻi kinautolú.’—Loma 12:14.

 6. ʻI he ngaahi founga fē ʻe lava ke tau fakahāhā ai ʻa e ʻofa feilaulauʻi-kita ki hotau fanga tokouá? (Sio ki he puha ʻi he peesi 21.)

⁶ Ko ʻetau ʻofa ki hotau kaungātuí ʻoku toe lahi ange ai. “ʻOku totonu ke tau liʻaki ʻetau moʻui koeʻuhi ko e kainga” pe fanga tokouá. (Lau ʻa e 1 Sione 3:16-18.) Neongo ia, ʻoku faʻa hoko ʻo lava ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofá ʻi he ngaahi founga iiki ange. Ko e fakatātaá, kapau ʻoku tau leaʻaki pe fai ha meʻa ʻoku fakalotomamahi ki ha tokoua, ʻe lava ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofá ʻaki ʻa e tamuʻomuʻa ke toe fai ha fakamelino. (Mt. 5:23, 24) Fēfē kapau ʻoku fakalotomamahiʻi kitautolu ʻe ha taha? ʻOku tau “faʻa fakamolemole,” pe ʻoku tau hehema ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ke tukulotoʻi ha ʻita? (Sāme 86:5) Ko e ʻofa lahi ʻoku fakatupu ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau ʻufiʻufi ʻa e fanga kiʻi fehālākí, ʻo fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ‘ʻo hange foki ne fakamolemoleʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihová.’—Kol. 3:13, 14; 1 Pita 4:8.

7, 8. (a) ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e fehokotaki ʻa e ʻofa ki he kakaí mo e ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá? (e) ʻE lava fēfē ke tau ʻai ke loloto ʻetau ʻofa kia Sihová? (Sio ki he fakatātā ʻi laló.)

⁷ ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakatupulekina ʻa e ʻofa feilaulauʻi-kita ki hotau fanga tokouá? ʻAki hono ʻai ke loloto ʻa ʻetau ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá. (Ef. 4:32, 33 [ʻEf 5:1, 2, PM]; 1 Sione 4:9-11, 20, 21) Ko e ngaahi mōmeniti fekoekoeʻi ʻoku tau fakamoleki mo Sihova ʻi hono lau ʻa e Tohi Tapú, fakalaulaulotó, mo e lotú ʻoku poupouʻi ai hotau lotó pea fakalahi ai ʻetau ʻofa ki heʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní. Kae kehe, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fakatau mai ʻa e taimi ke ʻunuʻunu ofi ai ki he ʻOtuá.

⁸ Ke fakatātaaʻi: Sioloto atu naʻe malava ke lau ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, fakalaulauloto ki ai, pea lotu kia Sihova ʻi he lolotonga pē ʻo ha houa pau ʻi he ʻaho taki taha. ʻIkai te ke tokanga ʻo maluʻi ʻa e vahaʻa taimi ko iá koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakaleluʻi ʻe ha meʻa ʻa ho taimi fakafoʻituitui mo Sihová? Ko e moʻoni heʻikai lava ke taʻofi kitautolu ʻe ha taha mei heʻetau lotu ki he ʻOtuá, pea ko e tokolahi taha ʻo kitautolú ʻe lava ke tau lau ʻa e Tohi Tapú ʻi ha taimi pē ʻoku tau fie lau ai. Neongo ia, ʻe fiemaʻu nai ke tau tokanga ke taʻofi ʻa hono fakaleluʻi ʻe he fokoleta ʻo e ngaahi ngāue fakaʻahó ʻa hotau taimi fakafoʻituitui mo e ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ke fakatau mai ʻa e taimi lahi taha ʻe ala lavá ʻi he ʻaho taki taha ke ʻunuʻunu ofi ai kia Sihova?

“Fiefia i he Laumalie Maonioni”

⁹ Ko ha anga tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻo e fua ʻo e laumālié ko ʻene tuʻu maʻú. Ko e fiefiá, ʻa e tafaʻaki hono ua te tau lāulea ki aí, ʻokú ne fakatātaaʻi ʻa e tuʻu maʻu ko ení. Ko e fiefiá ʻoku hangē ia ko ha fuʻu ʻakau matengataʻa ʻa ia ʻoku lava ke tupu ʻāfaʻafa naʻa mo e ʻi ha ʻātakai ʻoku ʻikai lelei. ʻI he kotoa ʻo e māmaní, ko e tokolahi ʻo e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá kuo nau “maʻu ae folofola i he mamahi lahi, moe fiefia i he Laumalie Maonioni.” (1 Tes. 1:6, PM) Ko e niʻihi ʻoku nau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi tuʻunga faingataʻa mo e masiva ʻangoʻango. Neongo ia, ʻoku fakaivia kinautolu ʻe Sihova fakafou ʻi hono laumālié ke nau “faa kataki kotoabe moe kataki fuoloa i he fiefia.” (Kol. 1:11, PM) Ko e hā ʻa e matavai ʻo e fiefia ko ení?

10. Ko e hā ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo ʻetau fiefiá?

¹⁰ ʻI he ʻikai hangē ko e ‘koloa ʻoku mole ngofua’ ʻo e māmani ʻo Sētané, ko e ngaahi koloa fakalaumālie kuo tau maʻu meia Sihová ʻoku mahuʻinga tuʻuloa. (1 Tim. 6:17, Ko e Taulua; Mt. 6:19, 20) ʻOkú ne tuku mai ʻi hotau ʻaó ʻa e ʻamanaki fiefia ki ha kahaʻu taʻehanongataʻanga. ʻOku tau maʻu ʻa e fiefia ʻi he hoko ko ha konga ʻo ha fetokouaʻaki faka-Kalisitiane ʻi māmani lahi. Hiliō he meʻa kotoa, ko ʻetau fiefiá ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi hotau vahaʻangatae mo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku tau kau fakataha mo e ngaahi ongoʻi naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Tēvitá, ʻa ia neongo naʻe fakamālohiʻi ia ke ne moʻui ko ha tokotaha hola holo, naʻá ne fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova ʻi he hiva, ʻo pehē: “ʻOku mahuʻinga ange hoʻo ʻofa ʻi he moʻui ni, ko ia ai ʻe fakamālō ki he ʻAfiona ʻe hoku ngutu ni. Pehe ʻeku fakafetaʻi atu lolotonga ʻeku moʻui.” (Sāme 63:3, 4) Naʻa mo e taimi ʻoku tau hokosia ai ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻá, ʻoku ʻalu hake ʻi hotau lotó ʻa e fakahīkihiki fiefia ki he ʻOtuá.

11. Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ke tau tauhi kia Sihova ʻi he fiefiá?

¹¹ Naʻe ekinaki ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he kau Kalisitiané: “Mou fiefia ʻi he ʻEiki maʻu ai pe: ʻio, kau toe ʻai atu, Mou fiefia”! (Fili. 4:4) Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ki he kau Kalisitiané ke nau fakahoko ʻenau ngāue kia Sihová ʻi he fiefiá? Koeʻuhi ko e ʻīsiu naʻe langaʻi hake ʻe Sētane fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová. ʻOku taukaveʻi ʻe Sētane ʻoku ʻikai tauhi loto-lelei ha taha ki he ʻOtuá. (Siope 1:9-11) Kapau naʻa tau tauhi fakafatongia kae ʻikai fiefia kia Sihova, ko ʻetau feilaulau ʻo e fakahīkihikí naʻe mei taʻekakato. Ko ia ʻoku tau feinga mālohi ai ke talangofua ki he ekinaki ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “Tauhi ʻa Sihova ʻaki ʻa e fiefia: Hu ki hono ʻao mo e kaikaila.” (Sāme 100:2) Ko e ngāue ʻoku fai mei ha loto-fiefia mo loto-leleí ʻoku fakalāngilangiʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtuá.

12, 13. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke tau fai ke faitau ai mo e ngaahi ongoʻi ʻikai leleí?

¹² Kae kehe, ko hono moʻoní, naʻa mo e kau sevāniti līʻoa ʻa Sihová ʻe ʻi ai e ngaahi taimi ʻa ia te nau hoko ai ʻo loto-siʻi mo fāinga ke tauhi maʻu ha fakakaukau lelei. (Fili. 2:25-30) Ko e hā ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi taimi peheé? ʻOku pehē ʻi he Efeso 5:18, 19: “Ke fakafonu kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e Laumalie: ʻo mou fealēleaʻaki ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi same, mo e himi, mo e hiva fakalaumalie, mo mou hiva mo ta ʻi homou loto ki he ʻEiki.” ʻE lava fēfē ke tau ngāueʻaki ʻa e akonaki ko iá?

Ko ha tokoua ʻa ia naʻe fehangahangai mo ha ʻahiʻahi faingataʻa ʻa ia naʻá ne faʻa hoko ai ʻo ongoʻi feifeitamaki mo loto-siʻi ʻokú ne manatu: “ʻI he tānaki atu ki he lotu maʻu pē mei he lotó, naʻá ku ako maʻuloto ha ngaahi hiva ʻe niʻihi ʻo e Puleʻangá. Naʻe ʻomai ai ʻa e nonga ki hoku lotó ʻi he hiva ʻa e ngaahi fakahīkihiki fakaʻofoʻofa ko ení kia Sihova ʻo hiva leʻo-lahi pe leʻo-siʻi pē kiate au.

Ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau maʻu ʻa e fakamaama ki he meʻa kuo pau ke ikuʻi ke lavaʻi ai ʻa e fāʻūtaha peheé, tau fakakaukau angé ki ha fakatātā ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí, ko e ʻapositolo ko Pitá.

“Ko e Kau Kalisitiane Moʻoní Eni”

Ko e tohi Between Resistance and Martyrdom—Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Third Reich ʻoku lave ai ki he fakamatala ʻa ha pōpula ko ha talavou Siu, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakamatala ai ki heʻene ʻuluaki fetaulaki mo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová hili ʻene tūʻuta ʻi he kemi fakamamahi Neuengamme.

“ʻI heʻemau aʻu pē ʻa kimautolu kau Siu mei Dachau ki he kemí, naʻe kamata ke fufū ʻe he kau Siu kehé ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻa nau maʻú ke ʻoua naʻa nau vahevahe mai kia kimautolu. . . . ʻI tuʻa ʻi he [kemi fakamamahí], naʻa mau fetokoniʻaki ai. Ka ʻi heni, ʻi ha tuʻunga ʻo e moʻuí mo e maté, ko e ʻuluaki tokanga ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ke fakahaofi ia tonu, ʻo ngalo ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Kae sioloto atu ki he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he Kau Ako Tohi Tapú. ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe pau ke nau ngāue mālohi ʻaupito, ʻi hono fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi paipa vaí. Naʻe momoko ʻaupito pea naʻa nau tuʻu he ʻahó kotoa ʻi he vai momoko teiló. Naʻe ʻikai mahinoʻi ʻe ha taha ʻa e founga naʻa nau lava ai ke kātekina ení. Naʻa nau pehē ʻoku ʻoange ʻe Sihova kia kinautolu ʻa e mālohi. Naʻa nau fiemaʻu vavale ʻenau maá, ʻo hangē pē ko kimautolú, koeʻuhí naʻa nau fiekaia. Ka ko e hā e meʻa naʻa nau faí? Naʻa nau tānaki ʻa e mā kotoa naʻa nau maʻú, ʻo vaeua ia maʻanautolu, pea ko e vaeua ʻe tahá naʻa nau foaki ia ki honau kaungātui naʻa nau toki aʻu mai mei Dachau. Pea naʻa nau talitali lelei kinautolu mo ʻuma kia kinautolu. Ki muʻa ke nau kaí, naʻa nau lotu. Hili iá, naʻa nau fiemālie kotoa mo fiefia. Naʻa nau pehē ʻoku ʻikai te nau kei fiekaia. Sio ange, ko e taimi ia naʻá ku fakakaukau ai: Ko e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní eni.”
