 6. Mei he matavai fē naʻe hiki lea mei ai ʻa Paula ʻi heʻene tohi ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he Hepelu 10:38?

⁶ Naʻe toe langa hake ʻe Paula ʻa e tuí ʻi hono kaungātuí ʻaki ʻene ngāuepōtoʻiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi Konga Tohitapú. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻá ne tohi: “Ka ko e tangata maʻoniʻoni aʻaku, te ne moʻui ʻi he tui: ka ʻo kapau te ne holomui, ʻe ʻikai hōifua hoku laumalie ʻiate ia.” (Hepelu 10:38) Naʻe hiki lea heni ʻe Paula mei he palōfita ko Hapakuké.a Ko e ngaahi leá ni ʻoku hangehangē naʻe maheni ia mo e kau lautohi ʻa Paulá, ʻa e kau Kalisitiane Hepelū ko ia naʻa nau ʻilo lelei ki he ngaahi tohi fakaekikité. ʻI he fakakaukau atu ki heʻene taumuʻá​—ke ʻai ke mālohi ʻa e tui ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ʻi Selusalemá pe ofi ki aí ʻi he taʻu 61 T.S. nai​—ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ko ia ʻa Hapakuké ko ha fili taau ia. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

 7. Naʻe lēkooti ʻe Hapakuke ʻene kikité ʻanefē, pea ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻi Siuta ʻi he taimi ko iá?

⁷ ʻOku hā mahino naʻe hiki ʻe Hapakuke ʻa ʻene tohí ʻo laka siʻi hake pē he hongofuluʻi taʻu ʻe ua ki muʻa ʻi hono fakaʻauha ʻo Selusalema ʻi he 607 K.M. ʻI he vīsoné, naʻe sio ai ʻa e palōfitá ki he kau Kalitiá (pe, kau Pāpiloné), ko ha “puleʻanga angafitaʻa mo ʻoho,” ʻoku tūʻulu hifo ki Siuta ʻo fakaʻauha ʻa Selusalema, ʻo maʻu ai ʻa e kakaí mo e ngaahi puleʻangá ʻi he meʻa ko iá. (Hapakuke 1:​5-11) Ka naʻe tomuʻa tala ha fakatuʻutāmaki pehē ia talu mei he taimi ʻo ʻAiseá, laka hake ia ʻi ha senituli ki muʻa. ʻI he taimi ʻo Hapakuké, naʻe fetongi ai ʻe Sihoiakimi ʻa e tuʻi lelei ko Siosaiá, pea naʻe toe tupu ʻafaʻafa ʻa e anga-fulikivanú ʻi Siuta. Naʻe hanga ʻe Sihoiakimi ʻo fakatangaʻi pea aʻu ʻo fakapoongi ʻa e faʻahinga naʻe lea ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihová. (2 Kalonikali 36:5; Selemaia 22:17; 26:​20-24) ʻOku ʻikai ha ofo ʻi he kalanga ʻa e palōfita loto-mamahi ko Hapakuké: “Kofutu, ʻEiki?”​—Hapakuke 1:2.

 8. Ko e hā ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻoku tokoni ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Hapakuké ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí mo e ʻaho ní?

⁸ Naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻe Hapakuke ia pe naʻe ofi fēfē ʻa e fakaʻauha ʻo Selusalemá. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, naʻe ʻikai ke ʻilo ʻe he kau Kalisitiane ia ʻo e ʻuluaki senitulí ʻa e taimi ʻe ngata ai ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu ʻo e ngaahi meʻa faka-Siú. ʻOku ʻikai ke tau ʻilo mo kitautolu ʻi he ʻaho ní ki he “ʻaho ko ia mo hono houa” ʻe hoko mai ai ʻa e fakamaau ʻa Sihová ki he fokotuʻutuʻu fulikivanu ko ʻení. (Mātiu 24:36) Ko ia ai, ʻai ke tau fakatokangaʻi ʻa e tali lōua ʻa Sihova kia Hapakuké. ʻUluakí, naʻá ne fakapapauʻi ange ki he palōfitá ʻe hoko mai ʻa e ngataʻangá ʻi hono taimi totonu. “ʻE ʻikai tuai,” ko e folofola ia ʻa e ʻOtuá, neongo ʻoku hā ngali toloi ia, ʻi he anga ʻo e vakai ʻa e tangatá. (Hapakuke 2:3) Ko hono uá, naʻe fakamanatu ʻe Sihova kia Hapakuke: “Ko e maʻoniʻoni te ne moʻui mei heʻene tui.” (Hapakuke 2:4) He ngaahi moʻoni fakaʻofoʻofa mo faingofua ē! Ko e meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi tahá, ʻoku ʻikai ko e taimi ʻe hoko mai ai ʻa e ngataʻangá, ka ko e pehē pe te tau hokohoko atu ke moʻui ʻaki ʻa e tuí.

 9. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e hokohoko atu ʻa e moʻui ʻa e kau sevāniti talangofua ʻa Sihová ʻi heʻenau tuí (a) ʻi he 607 K.M.? (e) hili ʻa e 66 T.S.? (f) Ko e hā ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ai ke tau ʻai ke mālohi ʻetau tuí?

⁹ ʻI hono fakaʻauha ʻa Selusalema ʻi he 607 K.M., ko Selemaia, ko ʻene sekelitali ko Palukí, ʻĒpeti-meleki, mo e kau Lēkapi mateakí naʻa nau sio ki he moʻoni ʻo e talaʻofa ʻa Sihova kia Hapakuké. Naʻa nau ‘moʻui’ ʻi heʻenau hola mei he fakaʻauha fakalilifu ʻo Selusalemá. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Naʻe fakapaleʻi ʻe Sihova ʻenau tuí. (Selemaia 35:​1-​19; 39:​15-​18; 43:​4-7; 45:​1-5) ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ko e kau Kalisitiane Hepelū ko ia ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí kuo pau pē naʻa nau tali lelei ʻa e akonaki ʻa Paulá, he ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻohofi ai ʻe he kau tau Lomá ʻa Selusalema ʻi he 66 T.S. pea toki holomui taʻealafakamatalaʻí, naʻe tokanga anga-tonu ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ko iá ki he fakatokanga ʻa Sīsū ke nau holá. (Luke 21:​20, 21) Naʻe hokohoko atu ʻenau moʻuí koeʻuhi ko ʻenau anga-tonú. ʻOku pehē pē, ʻe hokohoko atu ʻetau moʻuí kapau ʻe ʻiloʻi kitautolu ʻoku tau anga-tonu ʻi he taimi ʻe hoko mai ai ʻa e ngataʻangá. Ko ha ʻuhinga mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ē ki hono ʻai ke mālohi ʻetau tuí he taimí ni!
