“Naʻe Fakatau Kimoutolu ʻAki ha Totongi”
“He naʻe fakatau kimoutolu ʻaki ha totongi. ʻE, mou fakaongoongolelei ʻa e ʻOtua ʻi hoʻomou meʻa fakasino.”—1 KOLINITO 6:20.
1, 2. (a) Ko e hā naʻá ne fakaava “ae moui mei he mate”? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻe pau ke fai ke ʻai ke ʻaonga fakalao ʻa e feilaulau ʻa Kalaisí, ʻa ia naʻe fakatātaaʻi ʻe he hā?
“KO HO TAU OTUA koe Otua ia oe fakamoui;” ko e lau ia ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé, “bea oku ia Jihova koe Eiki ae moui mei he mate.” (Sāme 68:20, PM) Ko e feilaulau ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí naʻá ne fakaava ai ʻa e hala ko iá. Ka ke hoko ʻo ʻaonga fakalao ʻa e feilaulaú, naʻe pau kia Kalaisi ke ne fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá tonu.
2 Naʻe fakatātaaʻi ʻa e meʻá ni ʻi he ʻAho ʻo e Fakaleleí ʻi he taimi naʻe hū ai ʻa e taulaʻeiki lahí ki he Potu Toputapú. (Livitikō 16:12-15) Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Ka ʻi he aʻu mai ʻa Kalaisi, ko e taulaʻeiki-lahi . . . , ʻumaʻā haʻane ʻalu ʻaki ʻa e toto ʻo e kosi mo e kafi, ka ʻaki hono taʻataʻa oʻona pe, ʻo ne hu ai ke ta tuʻo taha ki potu toputapu na, ʻo ne lavaʻi ai ha huhuʻi taʻengata. He talaʻehai kuo hu ʻa Kalaisi ki he potu toputapu ne ngaohi ʻe he nima, ko e fakatātā pe ʻo e moʻonia, ka ki he langi tonu, ke fakaha ni ia ki he fofonga ʻo e ʻOtua maʻatautolu.”—Hepelū 9:11, 12, 24.

3. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e anga ʻo e fakakaukau ʻa e kau lotu kia Sihová ki he totó, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? (e) Ko e hā ʻokú ne fakahā ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e mālohi fakalao ʻa e totó ki he fakaleleiʻi ʻo e ngaahi angahalá?
3 Ko e hā ʻa e kaunga ʻo e taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisí ʻi hotau fakamoʻuí? Talu mei he ʻaho ʻo Noá, naʻe fakakaukau ʻa e kau lotu moʻoní ko e meʻa toputapu ʻa e totó. (Sēnesi 9:4-6) ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e kaunga mahuʻinga ʻa e totó ʻi he moʻuí, he ʻoku pehē ʻe he Tohitapú “he ko e moʻui ʻa e kakano ʻoku ʻi he toto.” (Livitikō 17:11) Ko ia naʻe fiemaʻu ʻi he Lao ʻa Mōsesé ka ʻave ha manu ke faiʻaki ha feilaulau, ʻe lilingi atu ʻa hono totó ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová. ʻI he ngaahi taimi ʻe niʻihi naʻe toe tuku ʻa e totó ʻi he nifo ʻi he ʻōlitá. ʻOku mahino lelei, ko e mālohi fakaefakalelei ʻo ha feilaulau naʻe ʻi he totó. (Livitikō 8:15; 9:9) “ʻI he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e Lao ʻoku ʻikai mei ai ha meʻa ka ʻoku fakamaʻa ʻaki ʻa e toto: pea ka ʻikai ha lilingi toto, ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamolemole.”—Hepelū 9:22.
4. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa naʻe fakahoko ʻi hono fakangatangata ʻe he ʻOtuá hono ngāueʻaki ʻo e totó? (e) Ko e hā naʻe mahuʻinga ʻo fekauʻaki mo e founga ʻo hono tāmateʻi ʻo Sīsuú?
4 Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa fakaʻohovale, ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Laó, ko hano ngāuehalaʻaki ʻa e totó naʻe malava ke tautea ʻaki ʻa e mate! (Livitikō 17:10) ʻOku tau lāuʻilo kotoa kapau ʻe siʻisiʻi ha faʻahinga meʻa, pe fakangatangata lahi ʻaupito ʻa hono ngāueʻakí, ʻoku tupu hono mahuʻingá. Ko e taʻotaʻofi ʻe Sihova hono ngāueʻakí naʻe fakapapauʻi ai kuo pau ke sio ki he totó, ʻo ʻikai ko ha meʻa noa pē hono mahuʻingá, ka ko e meʻa mātuʻaki mahuʻinga mo ʻaonga. (Ngāue 15:29; Hepelū 10:29) Naʻe fehoanaki ia mo e taumuʻa māʻolunga ʻe fakahoko ki ai ʻa e taʻataʻa ʻo Kalaisí. ʻOku feʻungamālié, naʻá ne pekia ʻi he founga ke lilingi atu ai hono taʻataʻá. Ko ia, ʻoku moʻoni naʻe ʻikai ke ngata pē ʻa e feilaulauʻi ʻe Kalaisi hono sino fakaetangatá ka naʻá ne huaʻi atu hono soulú, ʻo ne feilaulauʻi ʻene moʻuí tonu ko e tangata haohaoa! (ʻAisea 53:12, NW) Naʻe ʻikai ke mole meia Kalaisi ʻa e totonu fakalao ki he moʻuí koeʻuhi ko ha taʻehaohaoa, ko ia naʻe mahuʻinga lahi ʻa hono taʻataʻa naʻe lilingi pea naʻe malava ke foaki atu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá ko e fakalelei ki he ngaahi angahala ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.
5. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻe ʻave ʻe Kalaisi ki hēvaní, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? (e) Ko e hā ʻokú ne fakamoʻoniʻi naʻe tali ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e feilaulau ʻa Kalaisí?
5 Naʻe ʻikai malava ke ʻave ʻe Kalaisi hono taʻataʻa moʻoní ki hēvani. (1 Kolinitō 15:50) Ka, naʻá ne ʻave ʻa ia naʻe fakatātaaʻi ʻe he taʻataʻá: ko e mahuʻinga fakalao ʻo ʻene moʻui haohaoa fakaetangata naʻe feilaulauʻí. ʻI he ʻao tonu ʻo e ʻOtuá, naʻe malava ke ne foaki totonu atu ai ʻa e moʻui ko ení ko e huhuʻi ke fetongi ʻaki ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangata angahalaʻiá. Naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa e tali ʻe Sihova ʻa e feilaulau ko ʻení ʻi he Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S., ʻi he huaʻi hifo ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ki he kau ākonga ʻe toko 120 ʻi Selusalemá. (Ngāue 2:1-4) Naʻe hangē ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi heʻene fakatau kinautolú. (Kalētia 3:13; 4:5; 2 Pita 2:1) Ko ia, naʻe malava ke tafe mai leva ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga ʻo e huhuʻí ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.

6 Kaekehe, naʻe ʻikai ke ʻuhinga ʻeni ʻe foaki leva ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa e tuʻunga haohaoa fakaesinó, he ʻe ʻikai ke malava ke maʻu ʻa e tuʻunga haohaoa fakaesinó kaeʻoua kuo ikunaʻi ʻa e tuʻunga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá.

Naʻe fuofua fokotuʻutuʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ‘ke pule ko e ngaahi tuʻi ki he māmaní’ fakataha mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e ‘kau taulaʻeiki’ fakahēvani ʻe toko 144,000. (Fakahā 5:9, 10, NW; 7:4; 14:1-3) ʻE toki māmālie ʻa e hoko mai ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangata ʻi he vahaʻa taimi ko e taʻu ʻe taha afe ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga ʻo e huhuʻi ʻo fakafou mai ʻiate kinautolu.—1 Kolinitō 15:24-26; Fakahā 21:3, 4.

(Selemaia 31:31-34, PM; Kalētia 6:16; Hepelū 8:6-13; 1 Pita 2:9) Ka, ʻe malava fēfē ha fuakava ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ʻOtuá mo e tangata taʻehaohaoá? ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe Paula: “He ka i ai ha fuakava [ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ʻOtua mo e tangata taʻehaohaoá], oku totonu ke i ai foki moe mate o ia oku ne fakamooni ae fuakava. He oku malohi ae fuakava koe hili ae mate: ka i he kei moui ae fakamooni, oku ikai aubito hano malohi.”—Hepelū 9:16, 17, PM.

Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “He ʻoku taha pe ʻa e ʻOtua, taha foki ʻa e fakalaloa ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ʻOtua mo e tangata, ko Kalaisi Sisu ko e tangata. ʻA ia naʻa ne foaki ia ʻe ia ko e fetongi huhuʻi ʻo e kakai kotoa pe, kae toki fai hono fakamatala ʻi hono ngaahi kuonga totonu.” (1 Tīmote 2:5, 6) ʻOku tautautefito ʻa e kaunga ʻo e ngaahi lea ko ʻení ki he toko 144,000, ʻa ia ʻoku fai ʻa e fuakava foʻou mo kinautolu.

(Hepelū 9:18-21) ʻI he founga meimei tatau, naʻe pau ke lilingi ʻe Kalaisi ʻa e “toto fuakava” ke hoko ʻo ʻaonga ʻa e fuakava foʻoú.

Pe ʻokú ke fuofua kumi ki he Puleʻangá, ʻo ʻai hoʻo tui ki he ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ne tokonaki mai kiate koe?
