Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe ʻĀtama ʻa e malava ko iá ke fakahoko ʻaki hono vāhenga-ngāue ke fakahingoa ʻa e kotoa ʻo e fanga manú. (Sēn. 2:19) Pea he fiefia ē ko ia ʻi heʻene lea ʻi he ʻuluaki taimí ki ha toe taha​—ki hono uaifi hoihoifuá, ʻa ʻIvi!​—Sēn. 2:22, 23.

 2. Kuo anga-fēfē hono ngāuehalaʻaki ʻa e leá ʻi he kuohilí pea ʻi he lolotonga ní?

(Sēn. 3:1-4) Naʻe ngāuehalaʻaki ʻe ʻĀtama hono ʻeleló ʻi he taimi naʻá ne tukuakiʻi ai ʻa ʻIví​—pea mo Sihová​—ki heʻene ngaahi fehālaakí. (Sēn. 3:12) Naʻe loi ʻa Keini kia Sihova ʻi he hili ʻene tāmateʻi hono tokoua ko ʻĒpelí. (Sēn. 4:9) Ki mui ai, ko ha hako ʻo Keini ko Lēmeki naʻá ne faʻu ha maau naʻe tapua mai ai ʻa e anga-fakamālohi ʻo e taimi naʻá ne moʻui aí. (Sēn. 4:23, 24) Kae fēfē ʻa e tuʻunga ia ʻi he ʻaho ní? ʻOku tau vakai ki he kau taki fakapolitikalé ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki anga-maheni ʻa e lea koví ʻi he feituʻu kakaí.

Ko e meʻa pangó, ko hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e lea koví ʻoku tapua mai pē ai ʻa e ololalo ange ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga fakaeʻulungāngá mo e lea ʻoku tau sio ki ai ʻi he māmaní.

 3. Ko e hā ʻa e fakatuʻutāmaki ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau lāuʻilo ki aí, pea ko e hā te tau lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu ko ení?

³ Kapau heʻikai ke tau tokanga, te tau anga nai ki he fanongo ki he lea koví ʻo kamata ai ke tau ngāueʻaki. Ko e moʻoni, ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau Kalisitiane, ʻoku tau loto ke fakahōifuaʻi ʻa Sihova, pea ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ʻi he fakaʻehiʻehi pē mei he lea fakalieliá. ʻOku tau loto ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e meʻaʻofa fakaofo ʻo e leá ʻi ha founga lelei​—ke fakahīkihikiʻi hotau ʻOtuá. ʻI he kupu ko ení, te tau lāulea ai ki he founga ʻe lava ke tau fai ai ia (1) ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú, (2) ʻi he ngaahi fakataha ʻa e fakatahaʻangá, pea (3) ʻi heʻetau fetalanoaʻaki fakaʻahó. Kae ʻuluakí, tau lāulea angé ki he ʻuhinga ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ʻetau leá kia Sihová.

 4. Fakatatau ki he Malakai 3:16, ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ʻetau leá kia Sihová?

⁴ Lau ʻa e Malakai 3:16. ʻE lava ke ke fakakaukau ki ha ʻuhinga ʻe hiki ai ʻe Sihova ʻi heʻene “tohi ʻo e manatú” ʻa e hingoa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻa ia ko ʻenau leá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia pea fakalaulauloto ki hono huafá? Ko ʻetau leá ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi atu ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻi hotau lotó. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “ʻOku mei he meʻa ʻoku hulu ʻi he lotó ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he ngutú.” (Māt. 12:34) Ko e meʻa ʻoku tau fili ke talanoa ki aí ʻoku tapua atu ai ʻa e lahi ʻo ʻetau ʻofa kia Sihová. Pea ko e finangalo ʻo Sihova ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻofa kiate iá ke nau fiefia ʻi he moʻuí ʻo taʻengata ʻi he māmani foʻoú.

⁵ Ko e founga ʻo ʻetau leá ʻoku lava ke ne fakapapauʻi pe ʻe tali ʻe Sihova ʻetau lotú. (Sēm. 1:26) Ko e niʻihi ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻikai ke nau ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá ʻoku nau lea ʻi he founga anga-fefeka, anga-kakaha mo hīkisia. (2 Tīm. 3:1-5) Ko hono moʻoní ʻoku ʻikai ke tau loto ke hoko ʻo hangē ko kinautolú. ʻOku tau vēkeveke ke fakahōifuaʻi ʻa Sihova ʻaki ʻetau leá. Ka ʻe lava ke hōifua mai ʻa Sihova kapau ʻoku tau ngāueʻaki ʻa e lea lelei mo anga-lelei ʻi heʻetau ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané pe ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú kae lea ʻi ha founga anga-kakaha mo taʻeʻofa ki he ngaahi mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí ʻi ʻapi?​—1 Pita 3:7.

 6. Ko e hā ʻa e ola lelei ʻo e lea lelei ʻa Kimberly?

⁶ ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau ngāueleleiʻaki ai ʻa e meʻaʻofa ʻo e leá, ʻoku tau fakahaaʻi atu ai ko kitautolú ko e kau lotu ʻa Sihova. ʻOku tau tokoniʻi ai ʻa e niʻihi takatakai ʻiate kitautolú ke nau sio māʻalaʻala ki he faikehekehe “ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e tokotaha ʻoku tauhi ki he ʻOtuá mo e tokotaha ʻoku ʻikai tauhi kiate iá.” (Mal. 3:18) Fakakaukau ki he founga naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻa e meʻá ni ki ha tuofefine ko Kimberly.b Naʻe vaheʻi ia ke ngāue mo ha kaungāako ʻi ha poloseki ʻi he kolisí. Hili ʻena ngāue fakatahá, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe he kaungāakó naʻe kehe ʻa Kimberly ia mei he toenga ʻo e fānau akó. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne fakaangaʻi ʻa e kakaí, naʻá ne lea lelei, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ne lea kovi. Naʻe maongo eni ki he kaungāako ʻo Kimberly pea faai atu pē ʻo ne tali ke ako Tohi Tapu. He fiefia ē ko Sihova ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau lea ai ʻi ha founga ʻoku tohoakiʻi mai ai ʻa e kakaí ki he moʻoní!

 7. Ko e hā ʻokú ke fakapapauʻi ke fai ʻaki ʻa e meʻaʻofa mei he ʻOtuá ko e leá?

⁷ Ko kitautolu kotoa ʻoku tau loto ke lea ʻi ha founga ʻe ʻave ai ʻa e lāngilangí kia Sihova pea tohoakiʻi ai kitautolu ke ofi ange ki hotau fanga tokouá. Ko ia tau lāulea angé ʻi he taimí ni ki ha ngaahi founga ʻaonga ʻe niʻihi ʻe lava ke tau hoko ai pē “ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga . . . ʻi he lea.”

⁸ Lea ʻi he anga-lelei mo e fakaʻapaʻapa ʻi hono fakaʻitaʻí. Lolotonga ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe tukuakiʻi loi ia ko ha tangata naʻe faʻa konā, kai fakaputa, ko ha fakafofonga ʻo e Tēvoló, ko ha tokotaha maumau Sāpate, pea naʻa mo ha tokotaha lea fieʻotua. (Māt. 11:19; 26:65; Luke 11:15; Sione 9:16) Neongo ia, naʻe ʻikai fetongiʻaki ia ʻe Sīsū ha ngaahi lea ʻita. Hangē ko Sīsuú, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito totonu ke tau tali ʻaki ha lea kovi kapau ʻoku lea anga-kakaha mai ha taha. (1 Pita 2:21-23) Ko e moʻoni ko hono fakahāhā ʻa e faʻamataʻofi peheé ʻoku ʻikai faingofua. (Sēm. 3:2) Ko e hā ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolú?

 9. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke mapuleʻi ʻetau leá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau kau ai ki he ngāue fakamalangá?

⁹ Feinga ke sio fakalaka atu ʻi he tali ʻa ha tokotaha-ʻapi ʻoku lea anga-kovi mai. Ko ha tokoua ko Sam ʻokú ne pehē, “ʻOku ou feinga ke tokangataha ki he fiemaʻu ʻa e tokotaha-ʻapí ke fanongo ki he moʻoní mo ʻene malava ke liliú.” ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku ʻita ha tokotaha-ʻapi koeʻuhí pē ʻoku tau ʻalu atu ʻi he taimi hala. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau fetaulaki ai mo ha taha ʻoku ʻita, ʻe lava ke tau fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fai ʻe ha tuofefine ko Lucia. ʻE lava ke tau fai ha kiʻi lotu nounou, ʻo kole kia Sihova ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ke nofoʻaki nonga pea taʻotaʻofi kitautolu mei he lea anga-kovi pe taʻefakaʻapaʻapa.

10. Fakatatau ki he 1 Tīmote 4:13, ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau maʻú?

¹⁰ Hoko ko ha faiako ola lelei ange. Ko Tīmoté ko ha faifekau Kalisitiane taukei, ka naʻa mo ia tonu naʻe fiemaʻu ke ne hokohoko atu ke fakalakalaka fakalaumālie. (Lau ʻa e 1 Tīmote 4:13.) ʻE lava fēfē ke tau hoko ko ha kau faiako ola lelei ange ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú? Kuo pau ke tau teuteu lelei. ʻOku tau fakamālō ʻi hono maʻu ʻa e ngaahi meʻangāue kehekehe ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke hoko ko e kau faiako lelei ange.

¹¹ ʻE lava foki ke tau hoko ko e kau faiako lelei ange ʻaki ʻa e vakai ki he niʻihi kehe ʻi he fakatahaʻangá pea ako meiate kinautolu. Ko Sam, naʻe lave ki ai ki muʻá, ʻokú ne ʻeke hifo kiate ia pe ko e hā ʻokú ne ʻai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ʻe niʻihi ke nau hoko ko e kau faiako leleí. ʻOkú ne ako ʻenau founga fakafaiakó pea feinga leva ke faʻifaʻitaki ki ai. Ko ha tuofefine ko Talia ʻokú ne mātuʻaki tokanga ki he founga ʻoku fakahoko ai ʻe he kau malanga taukeí ʻenau malanga maʻá e kakaí. ʻI heʻene fai iá, kuó ne ako ai ki he founga ke talanoa mo fakaʻuhinga ʻi he ngaahi kaveinga anga-maheni ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú.

¹² ʻOku lava ke tau tokoni kotoa ki he lavameʻa ʻetau ngaahi fakatahá ʻaki hono ʻoatu hotau leʻó ʻi he hiva pea fai mo e ngaahi tali ʻosi teuteu lelei. (Saame 22:22) Ko e niʻihi ʻoku faingataʻa ke nau hiva pe fai ha tali ʻi he tokolahí. ʻOkú ke pehē? Kapau ko ia, te ke fiefia ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa kuó ne tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi ke nau ikuʻi ʻenau ngaahi manavaheé.

13. Ko e hā nai ʻa e meʻa te ne tokoniʻi koe ke hiva loto-kakato ʻi he fakatahá?

¹³ Hiva loto-kakato. Ko e ʻuhinga tefito ʻo ʻetau hivaʻi ʻa e ngaahi hiva ʻo e Puleʻangá, ko ʻetau holi ke fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova. Ko ha tuofefine ko Sara ʻokú ne vakai kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai ke ne fuʻu leʻo lelei. Neongo ia, ʻokú ne loto ke fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa Sihova ʻi he hivá. Ko ia ai, ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻaonga ke ne ʻuluaki ʻahiʻahi ʻa e ngaahi hivá ʻi ʻapi, ʻo hangē pē ko ʻene teuteu ki he ngaahi konga kehe ʻi he fakatahá. ʻOkú ne hivaʻi ʻa e ngaahi hivá pea feinga ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e fekauʻaki hono ngaahi leá mo e kaveinga ʻoku fai ki ai ʻa e lāuleá. “ʻOku tokoni eni ke u tokanga lahi ange ki he ngaahi lea ʻo e hivá kae ʻikai ko ʻeku malava ke hivaʻi iá,” ko ʻene leá ia.

Ko hono moʻoní, ʻe lava ke hoko eni ko ha pole ki he niʻihi. “ʻOku ou manavasiʻi ʻi he tokolahi ʻa e kakaí, neongo ʻoku ʻikai fakatokangaʻi ia ʻe he niʻihi kehé he ʻoku ʻikai tete hoku leʻó ʻi heʻeku leá,” ko e fakamatala ia ʻa Talia, naʻe lave ki ai ki muʻá. “Ko ia ʻoku mātuʻaki faingataʻa ke u fai ha tali.” Neongo ia, ʻoku ʻikai ke taʻofi ai ʻa Talia mei heʻene fai ha tali. ʻI heʻene teuteu ki he fakatahá, ʻokú ne manatuʻi ko e ʻuluaki tali ʻi ha kaveinga ʻoku totonu ke nounou mo hangatonu ki he fehuʻí. ʻOkú ne pehē: “ʻOku ʻuhinga ení ʻoku sai pē kapau ʻoku nounou, faingofua pea hangatonu ʻeku talí ki he poiní koeʻuhí ko e faʻahinga tali ia ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe he tokotaha faiakó.”

Ka ʻoku toe ʻi ai mo e founga olopoto ʻo e laukoví ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau tokanga ki ai.
