Fakamaʻa ʻEne Tamaioʻeiki ʻi he Māmaní
3, 4. (a) Ko e hā e ngāue naʻe fakahoko ʻe Kalaisi ʻi hono tuʻunga ko e “talafekau” ʻa Sihová? (e) Ko e hā naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻi hono sivi ʻo e temipalé, pea ʻi hono tuʻunga ko e ʻUlu ʻo e fakatahaʻangá, ko e hā ʻa e fakanofo naʻe fai ʻe Sīsuú?
3 Ko e sivi naʻe fai ʻe Sihova mo ʻene “talafekau” naʻe toe fakahaaʻi ai ʻi he lotoʻā fakaemāmani ʻo e temipale fakalaumālie ko iá ʻa e ʻi ai ha kulupu ʻo e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ko e konga kinautolu ʻo e ngaahi siasi ʻo e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané. Kae kehe, naʻa mo e kau Kalisitiane pani ko ení, pe “haʻa Livai,” naʻe fiemaʻu ke fakamaʻa kinautolu. Naʻe hoko ai ʻa e meʻa naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe he palōfita ko Malakaí: “[Ko Sihova] te ne nofo ko e sivi mo fakamaʻa siliva tofu pe, pea te ne fakamaʻa ʻa haʻa Livai, pea te ne toʻo mei ai ʻa e ʻuli, hange ko e koula mo e siliva; pea te nau toki hoko ko e kau ʻatu feilaulau kia Sihova ʻi he maʻoniʻoni.” (Mal. 3:3) Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene “talafekau oe fuakava,” ʻa Kalaisi Sīsū, ke ne fakamaʻa ʻa e kau ʻIsileli fakalaumālie ko ení.
4 Kae kehe, naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Kalaisi ʻoku fai ʻe he kau Kalisitiane pani faitōnunga tatau ko ení ʻenau lelei tahá ke tokonaki ʻa e meʻakai fakalaumālie taimi totonu ki he fāmili ʻo e tuí. Mei he 1879 ʻo faai mai ai, ʻi he tuʻunga lelei mo e kovi, naʻa nau pulusi ai ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni Fakatohitapu fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi peesi ʻo e makasini ko ení.

(Mt. 24:3, 45-47, PM) ʻI hono tuʻunga ko e ʻUlu ʻo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané, kuo ngāueʻaki ʻe Kalaisi ʻa e “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto” ko ení ke ne tokangaʻi ʻEne ngaahi meʻa ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻi he māmaní. Kuó ne tokonaki mai ʻa e tataki ki he kau pani ko e “kaugaabi [pe kau sevāniti ʻo hono falé]” mo honau takanga ko e “fanga sipi kehe” fakafou ʻi ha Kulupu Pule.—Sione 10:16.

Naʻe tohi ʻe Sione: “Pea u vakai, ʻiloange ko e ʻao hinehina, pea naʻe heka ki he ʻao ha toko taha naʻe hangē ko e Fanautama ʻa Tangata, ʻoku ʻi hono fofonga ha kalauni koula, pea ʻi hono nima ha hele tuʻusi koane naʻe māsila.” (Fkh. 1:10; 14:14) Naʻe fanongo ʻa Sione ki ha ʻāngelo meia Sihova ʻokú ne tala ki he Tokotaha-Utu ko ení ke hiki hake ʻene helé koeʻuhi ‘he kuo motua ae taʻu [pe utu-taʻu] oe mamaní.’—Fkh. 14:15, 16, PM.
6. Ko e hā ne tala ʻe Sīsū ʻe hoko ʻi he faai mai ʻa e taimí?
6 Ko e ‘utu-taʻu oe mamani’ ko ení ʻoku fakamanatu mai ai kia kitautolu ʻa e pealapeli ʻa Sīsū ki he uité mo e teá. Naʻe fakatatau ai ia tonu ʻe Sīsū ki ha tangata naʻá ne tūtuuʻi heʻene ngoué ha tengaʻi uite fakataha mo e fakakaukau atu ke utu ha fua kakato ʻo e uite lelei, ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he “fanau ʻo e Puleʻanga,” ko e kau Kalisitiane moʻoni kuo pani ke nau pule fakataha mo ia ʻi hono Puleʻangá. Ka ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e poʻulí, ko ha fili “ko e Tevolo,” naʻá ne tūtuuʻi hifo ʻi he ngoué ʻa e tea, ko e “fanau ʻa e Toko Taha Kovi.” Naʻe fakahinohino ʻa e tokotaha-tūtūʻí ki heʻene kau ngāué ke tuku pē ʻa e uité mo e teá ke na tupu fakataha kae ʻoua ke aʻu ki he taimi utu-taʻú, ʻi he “fakaʻosi ʻo e kuonga.” ʻI he taimi ko iá, te ne fekau atu ai ʻene kau ʻāngeló ke nau fakamavaheʻi ʻa e uité mei he teá.—Mt. 13:24-30, 36-41.

(e) Hangē ko ia naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻi he peesi 26, ko e hā ʻa e ‘ngaahi meʻa loloto ʻo Setane’ ʻoku totonu ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei aí?
8 Naʻa tau sio ʻi he kupu ki muʻá ki he ofi hono siofi ʻe Kalaisi ʻa e tuʻunga fakalaumālie ʻo e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga tāutaha ʻi he ʻuluaki senituli T.S. ʻI hotau ʻahó ni, ʻi hono tuʻunga ko e Tuʻi pule kuo tuku ki ai ʻa e “pule kotoa pe ʻi langi pea ki mamani,” ko Kalaisi hotau Takimuʻá ʻokú ne ngāueʻi ʻa e tuʻunga-ʻulu longomoʻui ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻi māmani lahí mo honau kau ʻovasiá. (Mt. 28:18; Kol. 1:18) Kuo hanga ʻe Sihova ʻo “foaki ia ke ʻulu ki he Siasi [ʻo e kau paní] ʻi he meʻa kotoa pe.” (Ef. 1:22) ʻI heʻene peheé, ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi he fakatahaʻanga tāutaha ʻe 100,000 tupu ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻe puli meiate ia.
9 Naʻe ʻave ʻe Sīsū ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻi Taiataila ʻo e kuonga muʻá, ʻa e pōpoaki ko ení: “Ko eni ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtua, ʻa e Toko Taha ko ia ʻa ia ko hono ongo mata ʻoku hange ha uloʻi afi, . . . ʻoku ou ʻilo pe hoʻo ngaahi ngāue.” (Fkh. 2:18, 19) Naʻá ne valokiʻi ʻa e kau mēmipa ʻo e fakatahaʻanga ko iá ʻi heʻenau founga moʻui taʻetaau mo fakahōhōʻiaʻi-kitá, ʻo tala ange kia kinautolu: “Ko au ia ʻoku hakule ʻa e ngaahi holi mo e loto: pea te u ʻatu kiate kimoutolu taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻomou ngāue.” (Fkh. 2:23) Ko e fakamatala ko iá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻoku siofi ʻe Kalaisi ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he tōʻonga kotoa ʻa e fakatahaʻanga taki taha kae toe pehē foki ki he founga moʻui ʻa hono kau mēmipa tāutahá. Naʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ʻi Taiataila naʻe “ʻikai te nau ʻilo ʻa e ngaahi [meʻa] loloto ʻo Setane.” (Fkh. 2:24) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻokú ne hōifua tatau ki he faʻahinga iiki pe lalahi, ʻoku nau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he fieʻilo ki he ‘ngaahi meʻa loloto ʻo Setané’ fakafou ʻi he ʻInitanetí pe keimi vitiō fakamālohí pe kau ʻi he ngaahi fakaʻuhinga tavale fakaetangatá.

10 ʻOku tokonaki mai ʻe Kalaisi ʻa e tokangaʻi anga-ʻofa ki heʻene ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻi he māmaní fakafou ʻi he kau mātuʻa kuo fakanofo. (Ef. 4:8, 11, 12) ʻI he ʻuluaki senitulí, ko e kau ʻovasiá kotoa naʻe pani ʻe he laumālié. Naʻe fakatātaaʻi kinautolu ʻi he tohi Fakahaá ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Kalaisí.

(Ng. 20:28) Kae kehe, ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe Kalaisi ha kiʻi kulupu ʻo e kau tangata Kalisitiane pani ko ha Kulupu Pule ke nau takimuʻa mo tataki ʻene kau ākonga ʻi he māmaní.—Lau ʻa e Ngāue 15:6, 28-30.

13 Ko e “hoko mai [pe ʻi ai]” ʻa Kalaisi talu mei he 1914 kuo ʻikai fakatokangaʻi ia ʻe he tokolahi taha ʻo e kakai ʻi he māmaní. (2 Pita 3:3, 4) Kae kehe, kuo vavé ni ke ne ʻai ke eʻa ʻene ʻi aí ʻaki ʻene fakahoko ʻa e fakamaau ʻa Sihová ki he ngaahi ʻelemēniti kehekehe ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻa Sētané. Ko e fakaʻauha ʻo e “tangata ko Malakilao,” ʻa e haʻa faifekau ʻo e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané, ʻe hoko taʻetoefehālaaki ia ko ha ‘fotuaki o ʻene ʻi aí.’ (Lau ʻa e 2 Tesalonaika 2:3, 8.) ʻE ʻomai ai ʻa e fakamoʻoni mālohi kuo ngaʻunu ʻa Kalaisi ʻo fai ʻa e ngāue ʻi hono tuʻunga ko e Fakamaau ʻa Sihova kuo fakanofó. (Lau ʻa e 2 Timote 4:1.) Ko e fakaʻauhamālie ʻo e konga taau taha ke valokiʻi ʻo Pāpilone ko e Lahí ʻe hoko ia ki muʻa ʻi he fakaʻauha fakakātoa ʻo e ʻemipaea fulikivanu ko ia ʻo e lotu loí ʻi he māmaní. ʻE ʻai ʻe Sihova ki he loto ʻo e kau taki fakapolitikalé ke nau fakaʻauha ʻa e fuʻu feʻauaki fakalaumālie ko ení.

14 Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e mamahi ko iá ʻe fakanounou “telia ʻa e kakai fili,” ʻa e toenga ʻo e kau Kalisitiane pani ʻoku kei ʻi māmaní.

Naʻe toe pehē ʻe Sīsū ʻi he “hili leva ʻa e mamahi ʻo e taimi ko ia” ʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻi he laʻaá, māhiná, mo e ngaahi fetuʻú, “pea ʻe toki ha ʻi he langi ʻa e fakaʻilonga ʻo e Fanautama ʻa Tangata.” ʻE fakatupunga ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo e māmaní ke nau “lauʻaitu.” Heʻikai pehē ʻa e kau paní, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻenau ʻamanaki fakahēvaní, mo honau takanga ʻoku ʻi ai ʻenau ʻamanaki fakaemāmaní. Te nau ‘hiki honau ʻulú, ʻo hanga hake; he ʻoku ofi ai honau huhuʻí.’—Mt. 24:29, 30; Luke 21:25-28.
15. Ko e hā ʻa e ngāue ʻe fai ʻe Kalaisi ʻi he taimi ʻe hāʻele mai aí?
15 Ki muʻa ke fakakakato ʻa ʻene ikuná, ko e Fanautama ʻa tangatá ʻe hāʻele mai ia ʻi ha toe founga ʻe taha. Naʻá ne kikiteʻi: “ʻO ka ʻiloange ʻe hoko mai ʻa e Fanautama ʻa Tangata, kuo ne ʻai hono nāunau, pea haʻofia ia ʻe he kau angelo kotoa pe, te ne toki nofo ʻi hono taloni langilangiʻia: pea ʻe fakatahataha ki hono ʻao ʻa e ngāhi kakai kotoa pe; pea te ne vaheʻi kinautolu, ʻo hange ʻoku vaheʻi ʻe ha tauhisipi ʻa e fanga sipi mei he fanga kosi: pea te ne fokotuʻu ʻa e fanga sipi mei hono toʻomataʻu, ka ko e fanga kosi mei hono toʻohema.” (Mt. 25:31-33) ʻOku ʻuhinga ení ki he hāʻele mai ʻa Kalaisi ko e Fakamaau ke vaheʻi ʻa e “ngāhi kakai kotoa pe” ki he kalasi ʻe ua: ko e “fanga sipi” ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia te nau poupouʻi longomoʻui ʻa hono fanga tokoua Kalisitiané (kau Kalisitiane pani ʻi māmaní) mo e “fanga kosi,” ko e faʻahinga ko iaʻoku nau “taʻetalangofua ki he Kosipeli ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu.” (2 Tes. 1:7, 8) Ko e fanga sipí, naʻe fakamatalaʻi ko e kau “fai lelei,” te nau maʻu ʻa e “moʻui taʻengata” ʻi he māmaní, ka ko e fanga kosí “ʻe ʻalu atu ʻa kinautolu ni ki he tautea taʻengata,” pe fakaʻauha.—Mt. 25:34, 40, 41, 45, 46.

Pea te ne tuku ki he luó ʻa Sētane mo e kau tēmenioó ʻi ha taʻu ʻe afe.—Fkh. 20:1-3.
