“Ko eni ʻa e folofola ʻa e Toko Taha ʻa ia ʻoku ne kuku ʻa e fetuʻu ʻe fitu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu.”—FAKAHĀ 2:1.
1, 2. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Kalaisi ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻe fitu ʻi ʻĒsia Mainá?
KO E ʻAlo tofu-pē-taha-ne-fakatupu ʻo Sihová, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻa e ʻUlu ʻo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané. Ke tauhi ʻa e fakatahaʻanga ʻo hono kau muimui paní ke taʻemelé, ʻoku ngāueʻaki ai ʻe Kalaisi ʻa hono tuʻunga ʻulú ʻaki hono fakaongoongoleleiʻi mo hono fakatonutonu kinautolu. (Efeso 5:21-27) ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi fakatātā ʻo e meʻá ni ʻi he Fakahā vahe 2 mo e 3, ʻa ia ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻa e ngaahi pōpoaki mālohi mo anga-ʻofa ʻa Sīsū naʻe fakahanga ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻe fitu ʻi ʻĒsia Mainá.
2 Ki muʻa ke ne ongona ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻe fitú, naʻe tuku ki he ʻapositolo ko Sioné ha vīsone ʻo e “ʻaho ʻo e ʻEiki.” (Fakahā 1:10) Ko e “ʻaho” ko iá naʻe kamata ia ʻi he taimi naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻa e Puleʻanga Faka-Mīsaiá ʻi he 1914. Ko ia ai, ko e meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Kalaisi ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻangá ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosi ko ení. Ko ʻene fakalototoʻá mo ʻene akonakí ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau feangainga ai mo e ngaahi taimi faingataʻa ko ení.—2 Timote 3:1-5.
3. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga fakaefakatātā ʻo e ‘ngaahi fetuʻú,’ “kau ʻangelo,” mo e “tuʻungamaama koula” naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Sioné?
3 Naʻe mamata ʻa Sione kia Sīsū Kalaisi kuo fakalāngilangiʻí, ʻa ia “ʻoku ne kuku ʻa e fetuʻu ʻe fitu ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu” mo ia “ʻoku ne haʻele ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e tuʻungamaama koula ʻe fitu,” pe ngaahi fakatahaʻanga. Ko e “[ngaahi ] fetuʻu” ko e “kau angelo ia ʻo e siasi ʻe fitu.” (Fakahā 1:20; 2:1) Ko e ngaahi fetuʻú ʻokú ne faʻa fakatātaaʻi ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻa e ngaahi meʻamoʻui laumālie fakaʻāngelo, ka heʻikai ke ngāueʻaki ʻe Kalaisi ia ha tangata ke ne lēkooti ha ngaahi pōpoaki ki ha ngaahi meʻamoʻui laumālie. Ko ia ai, ko e “[ngaahi] fetuʻu” ko ení ʻokú ne fakatātaaʻi totonu ʻa e kau ʻovasia pani ʻe he laumālié, pe ngaahi kulupu ʻo e kau mātuʻá. Ko e kupuʻi lea “kau ʻangelo” ʻoku fekauʻaki ia mo honau ngafa ko e kau talafekau. Koeʻuhí kuo tupu ʻa e kautaha ʻa e ʻOtuá, kuo toe fokotuʻu ai ʻe he “setuata anga-tonú” ʻa e kau tangata taau ʻo e “fanga sipi kehe” ʻa Sīsuú ko e kau ʻovasia.—Luke 12:42-44, NW; Sione 10:16.
4. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e maʻu ʻaonga ʻa e kau mātuʻá mei he tokanga ki he meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe Kalaisi ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻangá?
4 Ko e ‘ngaahi fetuʻú’ ʻoku nau ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo Sīsuú—ʻi hono mālohí, pulé, leleiʻiá mo ʻene maluʻí. Ko ia ai, ʻoku nau fakaongoongo kiate ia. ʻI he fai ki heʻene ngaahi lea ko ia ki he fakatahaʻanga taki taha ʻe fitú, ko e kau mātuʻa ʻi onopōní ʻoku nau sio ai ki he founga te nau malava ke fakaleleiʻi ha ngaahi tuʻunga meimei tatau. Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku fiemaʻu ki he kau Kalisitiane kotoa pē ke nau fanongo ki he ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Maake 9:7) Ko ia, ko e hā ʻoku lava ke tau ako ʻi heʻetau tokanga ʻi he taimi ʻoku lea ai ʻa Kalaisi ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻangá?

Neongo naʻe fonu ʻa ʻEfesō ʻi he ʻulungaanga taʻetāú, lotu loí, mo e tōʻonga fakamēsikí, naʻe tāpuekina ʻe he ʻOtuá ia ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá mo e niʻihi kehe ʻi he kolo ko iá.—Ngāue, vahe 19.
6. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e hangē ʻa e kau Kalisitiane mateaki ʻi he ʻaho ní ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻi ʻEfesō ʻo e kuonga muʻá?
6 Naʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻe Kalaisi ʻa e fakatahaʻanga ʻi ʻEfesoó, ʻo pehē: “ʻOku ou ʻilo pe hoʻo ngaahi ngaue, ʻa hoʻo fakaongosia, mo kataki; mo e ʻikai te ke mākatakiʻi ʻa e kau kovi; mo hoʻo sivi ʻakinautolu ʻoku taukave ko e aposetolo ʻa kinautolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai, ʻo ke ʻilo ta ko e koto loi.” ʻI he ʻahó ni, ko e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻo e kau muimui moʻoni ʻo Sīsuú ʻoku nau maʻu ha lēkooti meimei tatau ʻo e ngaahi ngāue lelei, ngāue mālohi, mo e kātaki. ʻOku ʻikai ke nau makātakiʻi ʻa e fanga tokoua loi ko ia ʻoku nau loto ke vakai kia kinautolu ko e kau ʻapositoló. (2 Kolinito 11:13, 26) Hangē ko e kau ʻEfesoó, ko e kau Kalisitiane mateaki ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻoku ‘ʻikai te nau mākatakiʻi ʻa e kau [tangata] koví.’ Ko ia ai, ke tauhi maʻu ʻa e tuʻunga maʻa ʻo e lotu ʻa Sihová pea ke maluʻi ʻa e fakatahaʻangá, ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fakaaʻu atu ʻa e feohí ki he kau tafoki ko ia mei he moʻoní ʻoku taʻefakatomalá.—Kaletia 2:4, 5; 2 Sione 8-11.

7 Kae kehe, ko e kau Kalisitiane ʻi ʻEfesoó naʻe ʻi ai ʻenau palopalema mafatukituki. “ʻOku ai ha meʻa ʻoku ou koviʻia ai kiate koe,” ko e lea ia ʻa Sīsuú, “ko hoʻo hiki mei hoʻo ʻuluaki ʻofa.” Ko e kau mēmipa ʻo e fakatahaʻangá naʻe fiemaʻu ke toe fakaake ʻenau ʻuluaki ʻofa ko ia kia Sihová. (Maake 12:28-30; Efeso 2:4; 4:32e [Efeso 5:1, 2, PM]) Ko kitautolu foki kuo pau ke tau leʻohi naʻa mole ʻetau ʻuluaki ʻofa ko ia ki he ʻOtuá. (3 Sione 3) Kae fēfē kapau ko e ngaahi meʻa ko ia hangē ko ha holi ki he tuʻumālie fakamatelié pe ko e tuli ki he mālié ʻoku hoko ia ko e meʻa mahuʻinga taha ʻi heʻetau moʻuí? (1 Timote 4:8; 6:9, 10) ʻOku tonu leva ke tau lotu fakamātoato ki he tokoni fakaʻotuá ke ne fetongi ʻa e ngaahi hehema peheé ʻaki ʻa e ʻofa nofo-loloto kia Sihova mo e houngaʻia ki he meʻa kotoa kuó ne fai mo hono ʻAló maʻa kitautolú.—1 Sione 4:10, 16.
8 Naʻe ekinaki ʻa Kalaisi ki he kau ʻEfesoó: “Fakamanatu ki he meʻa kuo ke hinga mei ai, pea fakatomala leva, ʻo fai ʻa e ngaahi ʻuluaki ngaue.” Fēfē kapau naʻe ʻikai te nau fai eni? “Ka ʻikai,” ko e lea ia ʻa Sīsuú, “ko ʻeku ʻalu atu ʻeni kiate koe, pea te u hiki hoʻo tuʻungamaama mei hono potu.” Kapau ko e fanga sipí kotoa ʻe mole ʻenau ʻuluaki ʻofá, ko e “tuʻungamaama,” pe fakatahaʻangá, ʻe ʻikai toe ʻi ai. ʻI he tuʻunga ko e kau Kalisitiane faivelengá, ʻofa ke tau ngāue mālohi ā ke tauhi ʻa e fakatahaʻangá ke ngingila fakalaumālie.—Mātiu 5:14-16.
9. ʻOku totonu ke fēfē ʻa e vakai ko ia ki hono poupouʻi ha lotu mavahe?
9 Ki he lelei pē maʻa kinautolu, ko e kau ʻEfesoó naʻa nau fehiʻa “ki he ngaahi ngaue ʻa e kau Nikolaitani.” Tuku kehe ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻi he Fakahaá, ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa pau ia ʻoku ʻiloʻi fekauʻaki mo e tupuʻanga, ngaahi akonaki, mo e ngaahi tōʻonga ʻa e lotu mavahe ko ení. Kae kehe, koeʻuhi naʻe fakahalaiaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e muimui ki he tangatá, ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke tau hanganaki fehiʻa ki hono poupouʻi ha lotu mavahe, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he kau Kalisitiane ʻi ʻEfesoó.—Mātiu 23:10.
10. Ko e hā ʻe hokosia ʻe he faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau fai ki he meʻa ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe he laumālié?
10 “Ko ia ʻoku telinga ke ne fakafanongo ki he meʻa ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe he Laumalie ki he ngaahi siasi,” ko e lea ia ʻa Kalaisí. ʻI heʻene ʻi māmaní, naʻe lea ʻa Sīsū ʻi he malumalu ʻo e tākiekina ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Aisea 61:1; Luke 4:16-21) Ko ia ʻoku totonu ke tau tokanga ki he meʻa ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe he ʻOtuá he taimí ni ʻo fakafou ʻiate ia ʻi he laumālie māʻoniʻoní. ʻI he malumalu ʻo e tataki ʻa e laumālié, naʻe talaʻofa ʻe Sīsū: “Ko ia ia te ne ikuna, te u tuku kiate ia ke kai mei he ʻakau ʻo e moʻui, ʻa ia ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he Palataisi ʻo e ʻOtua.” Ki he faʻahinga paní, ʻa ia ʻoku nau fai ki he meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he laumālié, ʻoku ʻuhinga ení ko e taʻefaʻamate ʻi he ‘Palataisi [fakahēvani] ʻo e ʻOtuá,’ pe ʻi he ʻao tonu ʻo Sihová. Ko e “fuʻu kakai lahi,” ʻa ia ʻoku nau toe fanongo ki he meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he laumālié, te nau fiefia ʻi ha palataisi fakaemāmani ʻa ia te nau inu ai mei he “vaitafe maa oe vai moui” pea maʻu ʻa e fakamoʻui mei he “louakau” ʻi hono kauvaí.—Fakahā 7:9; 22:1, 2, PM; Luke 23:43.
11. ʻE anga-fēfē nai haʻatau malava ke pouaki ʻa e ʻofa kia Sihová?
11 Ne mole mei he kau ʻEfesoó ʻenau ʻuluaki ʻofá, kae fēfē kapau ʻoku tupulaki ha tuʻunga meimei tatau ʻi ha fakatahaʻanga he ʻahó ni? Tau pouaki fakafoʻituitui ha ʻofa kia Sihova ʻaki ʻa e talanoa fekauʻaki mo ʻene ngaahi founga anga-ʻofá. Te tau lava ʻo fakahāhā ʻetau houngaʻia ki he ʻofa naʻe fakahāhā ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi hono tokonaki ʻo e huhuʻí fakafou ʻi hono ʻAlo ʻofaʻangá. (Sione 3:16; Loma 5:8) ʻI he taimi ʻoku feʻungamālie aí, ʻe lava ke tau lave ki he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻetau ngaahi talí pea ʻi he ngaahi konga ʻo e polokalama ʻi he ngaahi fakatahá. ʻE lava ke tau fakahāhā ʻetau ʻofa tonu kia Sihová ʻaki hono fakahīkihikiʻi hono huafá ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekau faka-Kalisitiané. (Sāme 145:10-13) ʻIo, ko ʻetau ngaahi leá mo ʻetau tōʻongá te ne fai nai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ke fakaake pe fakamālohiʻi ʻa e ʻuluaki ʻofa ʻa ha fakatahaʻanga.

12. Ko e hā ʻoku fakaeʻa ʻe he hisitōliá ʻo fekauʻaki mo Sīmaná mo e ngaahi tōʻonga fakalotu ʻi aí?
12 Ko e fakatahaʻanga ʻi Sīmaná naʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻe Kalaisi, “ko e ʻUluaki-mo-Kimui, ʻa e Toko Taha naʻa ne mate pea toe moʻui” fou ʻi ha toetuʻu. (Lau ʻa e Fakahā 2:8-11.) Ko Sīmana (ko ʻIsimia, Toake he taimí ni) naʻe langa ia ʻi he matāfonua hihifo ʻo ʻĒsia Mainá. Naʻe nofoʻi ʻe he kau Kalisí ʻa e koló, ka naʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻe he kau Litiá ʻi he 580 K.M. nai. Ko e kau fetongi ʻo ʻAlekisānita ko e Lahí naʻa nau toe langa ʻa Sīmana ʻi ha tuʻuʻanga foʻou. Naʻe hoko ia ko e konga ʻo e vahefonua Loma ʻo ʻĒsiá pea hoko ko ha senitā fakakomēsiale lakalakaimonū ʻiloa ʻi heʻene ngaahi langa fakapuleʻanga leleí. Ko e temipale ʻo Sīmana kia Sisa Taipilioó naʻá ne ʻai ia ko ha senitā ʻo e lotu ʻemipolá. Naʻe pau ki he kau lotú ke nau tutu ha kiʻi meʻi ʻinisēnisi pea pehē “ko e ʻEikí ʻa Sisa.” Naʻe ʻikai fai ki ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiané koeʻuhí kia kinautolu ‘ko e ʻEikí ʻa Sīsū.’ Ko ia ai, naʻa nau tofanga ʻi he fakamamahi.—Loma 10:9.
13. Neongo ʻa e masiva fakamatelié, ʻi he ʻuhinga fē naʻe tuʻumālie ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ʻi Sīmaná?
13 Tuku kehe ʻa e fakamamahí, ko e kau Kalisitiane ʻi Sīmaná naʻa nau kātekina ʻa e masiva, ngalingali ko e tofanga ʻi he faingataʻaʻia fakaʻekonōmika koeʻuhi ko e ʻikai ke nau kau ʻi he lotu ʻemipolá. Ko e kau sevāniti ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻoku ʻikai ke nau hao mei he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi peheé. (Fakahā 13:16, 17) Neongo ʻa e masiva fakamatelié, ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau hangē ko e kau Kalisitiane ʻi Sīmaná ʻoku nau tuʻumālie fakalaumālie, pea ko e meʻa ia ʻoku mahuʻinga moʻoní!—Palovepi 10:22; 3 Sione 2.
14, 15. Ko e hā ʻa e fakafiemālie ʻe lava ke maʻu ʻe he kau paní mei he Fakahā 2:10?
14 Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kau Siu ʻi Sīmaná ko e “sinakoke ʻo Setane” koeʻuhi naʻa nau puke ki he ngaahi talatukufakaholo taʻefakatohitapú, talitekeʻi ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea lea kovi ki hono kau muimui fanauʻi ʻe he laumālié. (Loma 2:28, 29) Kae tā he fakanonga moʻoni ʻe lava ke maʻu ʻe he faʻahinga paní mei he ngaahi lea hono hoko ʻa Kalaisí! ʻOkú ne pehē: “ʻOua te ke manavahē ki he ngaahi mamahi ʻoku ene ke hoko kiate ko e: ko eni ʻoku teu li homou niʻihi ʻe he Tevolo ki he pilisone, ko homou ʻahiʻahiʻi; pea te mou moʻua ʻi he mamahi ʻo ʻaho hongofulu: ka ke pikitai kiate au, ʻo aʻu ki he mate, pea te u ʻatu kiate koe ʻa e kalauni ʻo e moʻui.”—Fakahā 2:10.
15 Naʻe ʻikai manavahē ʻa Sīsū ke mate koeʻuhi ko hono pouaki ʻo e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová. (Filipai 2:5-8) Neongo ʻoku faitau he taimí ni ʻa Sētane ki he toenga ʻo e kau paní, ʻoku ʻikai te nau manavahē ki he ngaahi meʻa kuo pau ke nau tofanga ai ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha kulupú—ʻa e fakamamahí, tuku pilīsoné, pe ko ha mate fakamamahi. (Fakahā 12:17) Te nau hoko ko e kau ikuna ʻo e māmaní. Pea ʻi he ʻikai hangē ko e pale matalaʻiʻakau mae ʻoku tui kalauni ʻe he kau ikuna ʻi he ngaahi sipoti fakapanganí, ʻoku talaʻofa ʻa Kalaisi ki he kau pani ʻe toetuʻú ʻa e “kalauni ʻo e moʻui” ko e ngaahi meʻamoʻui taʻefaʻamate ʻi hēvani.

16. Kapau ʻoku tau feohi mo ha fakatahaʻanga hangē ko ia ʻi Sīmana motuʻá, ko e hā ʻa e ʻīsiú ʻoku totonu ke tau tokangataha ki aí?
16 Fēfē kapau ko kitautolú, tatau ai pē pe ko ʻetau ʻamanakí ʻoku fakahēvani pe fakaemāmani, ʻoku tau feohi mo ha fakatahaʻanga hangē ko ia ʻi Sīmana motuʻá?

Ko e Fakamoʻoni tauhi anga-tonu kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻokú ne fakamoʻoniʻi ko e tokotaha loi ʻa Sētane pea ʻokú ne fakahāhā ʻoku malava naʻa mo ha tangata ʻoku fakatangaʻi ke hoko ko ha poupou taʻemauea ʻo e totonu ʻa e ʻOtuá ke pule ko e Hau Fakalevelevá. (Palovepi 27:11) Tau fakalototoʻaʻi muʻa ʻa e kau Kalisitiane kehé ke kātekina ʻa e fakatangá, pea ʻe iku ai, ʻo maʻu hokohoko ʻa e “fai taʻe teteki ʻetau ngāue [kia Sihová], he kuo hamusi kitautolu mei hotau ngaahi fili; ʻo tau fakafeangai kiate ia ʻaki ʻa e maʻoniʻoni mo e failelei ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē o ʻetau moʻui”—pea aʻu ʻo taʻengata.—Luke 1:68, 69, 74, 75.

17 Naʻe fai fakatouʻosi ʻa e fakaongoongolelei mo e fakatonutonu ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻi Peakamosí. (Lau ʻa e Fakahā 2:12-17.) ʻI heʻene tuʻu ʻi he kilomita nai ʻe 80 ki he tokelau ʻo Sīmaná, ko Peakamosí ko ha kolo ia naʻe ngaeve ʻi he lotu fakapanganí. Ko e kau maki (kau ʻasitalolosia) Kalitiá ʻoku hangehangē naʻa nau hola mai ki ai mei Pāpiloné. Naʻe ʻaukolo ʻa e kakai mahamahakí ki he temipale ʻiloa ko ia ʻo Peakamosí kia ʻAsikelipiase, ʻa e ʻotua loi ʻo e faifakamoʻuí mo e faitoʻó.

19 Naʻe toe lea foki ʻa Kalaisi fekauʻaki mo e “akonaki ʻa Pelami.” Ko e mānumanu ki he tupu fakamatelié, naʻe feinga ai ʻa e palōfita loi ko Pēlamí ke fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli. ʻI he taimi naʻe fulihi ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻene fakamalaʻiá ki ha tāpuakí, naʻe ngāue fakataha leva ʻa Pēlami mo Tuʻi Pēlaki ʻo Mōapé ʻo fakataueleʻi ʻa e kau ʻIsileli tokolahi ki he lotu ʻaitolí mo e fehokotaki fakasino taʻetāú. ʻOku fiemaʻu ki he kau mātuʻa Kalisitiané ke nau hoko ʻo tuʻu mālohi maʻá e māʻoniʻoní ʻo hangē ko Fineasí, ʻa ia naʻá ne ngāue ʻo fakafepakiʻi ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Pēlamí.

Ke fakahaofi ia mei he fakatamakí, ʻoku totonu ke ne fakatomala pea kumi ki he tokoni fakalaumālie ʻa e kau mātuʻa ʻi he fakatahaʻangá.

(Ekisoto 16:14, 15, 23, 26, 33, PM; Eki. 26:34; Hepelu 9:3, 4) Naʻe ʻikai ha taha naʻe fakaʻatā ke ne kai ʻa e mana fufū ko iá. Kae kehe, ʻi heʻenau toetuʻú, ko e kau muimui pani ʻo Sīsuú te nau ʻai ʻa e taʻefaʻamaté, ʻa ia ʻoku fakatātāʻaki hono kai ʻa e “mana . . . fufū.”—1 Kolinito 15:53-57.

Koeʻuhi naʻe toe ngāueʻaki ʻe he kau Lomá ʻa e ngaahi foʻi maká ke hūʻaki ki ha ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga naʻe fai, ko e “maka hinehina” ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi nai ʻa hono fakahū atu ʻa e tokotaha pani ko iá ki ha feituʻu ʻi hēvani ki he taʻane ʻa e Lamí. (Fakahā 19:7-9) Ko e “hingoa foʻou” ʻoku fakahaaʻi mahino ia ko e monū ʻo e hoko ʻo fāʻūtaha mo Sīsū ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kaungāʻea ʻi he Puleʻanga fakahēvaní.

24 ʻOku fakapotopoto ke manatuʻi ko e fakatahaʻanga Peakamosí naʻe ʻai ia ki ha tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ʻe he kau tafoki mei he moʻoní. Kapau ʻoku fakamanamanaʻi ʻe ha tuʻunga meimei tatau ʻa e tuʻunga lelei fakalaumālie ʻo e fakatahaʻanga ʻoku tau feohi mo iá, tau talitekeʻi fakaʻaufuli muʻa ʻa e tafoki mei he moʻoní pea hanganaki ʻaʻeva ʻi he moʻoní. (Sione 8:32, 44; 3 Sione 4) Koeʻuhi ko e kau faiako loí pe niʻihi tāutaha ko ia ʻoku nau hehema ki he tafoki mei he moʻoní ʻe lava ke nau fakameleʻi ʻa e kotoa ʻo ha fakatahaʻanga, kuo pau ke tau tauhi maʻu ha tuʻu mālohi ʻo fakafepakiʻi ʻa e tafoki mei he moʻoní, ʻo ʻoua ʻaupito ʻe fakaʻatā ʻa e fakaoloolo fulikivanú ke ne taʻofi kitautolu mei he talangofua ki he moʻoní.—Kaletia 5:7-12; 2 Sione 8-11.
25. Ko e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻa Sīsū ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga fē ʻe fai ʻa e lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu hoko maí?
25 He ngaahi lea fakalanga fakakaukau moʻoni ʻo e fakaongoongolelei mo e akonaki naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Sīsū kuo fakalāngilangiʻí ki he tolu ʻo e fakatahaʻanga ʻe fitu ʻi ʻĒsia Mainá kuo tau lāulea ki aí! Kae kehe, hangē ko ia kuo fakahinohino ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ʻoku toe ʻi ai mo e meʻa lahi ange ke ne leaʻaki ki he fakatahaʻanga ʻe fā ʻoku toé. Ko e ngaahi pōpoaki ko ení, ʻa ia naʻe fakahanga ki Taiataila, Sātisi, Filatelifia, mo Leotisiá, ʻe fai ʻa e lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu hoko maí.
