Ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni Kalisitiané mo e Kolo ʻi Hēvaní
“He ko hoʻotautolu kolo ʻoku tuʻu ʻi langi.”—FILIPAI 3:20.
1. Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa fakaofo ʻa Sihova ʻo fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga ʻe niʻihi ʻo e tangata?
KO E faʻahinga fanauʻi ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo e tangata ʻe pule ko e ngaahi tuʻi mo e kau taulaʻeki ʻi hēvaní, naʻa mo e pule ki he kau ʻāngelo. (1 Kolinitō 6:2, 3; Fakahā 20:6) Ko ha moʻoni fakaofo ē! Kae kehe, naʻe fakataumuʻa ia ʻe Sihova, peá ne fakahoko ia ʻo fakafou mai ʻi hono ʻAlo-tofu-pe-taha-ne-fakatupú, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi. Ko e hā ʻoku fai ai ʻe hotau Tokotaha-Fakatupu ha meʻa pehē? Pea ʻoku totonu ke anga-fēfē ʻa hono ueʻi ha Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻahó ni ʻe he ʻilo ko ia? Te tau vakai ange ki he anga ʻo e tali ʻa e Tohitapú ki he ongo fehuʻí ni.
2. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa foʻou naʻe fanongonongo ʻe Sione Papitaiso ʻe fai ʻe Sīsuú, pea naʻe felāveʻi ʻa e meʻa foʻou ko ʻení ki he hā?
2 ʻI hono teuteu ʻe Sione Papitaiso ʻa e hala ʻo Sīsuú, naʻá ne fanongonongo ai ʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ia ha meʻa foʻou. ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakamatalá: “Pea naʻa ne [Sione] malanga, ʻo pehe, ʻOku muimui mai ha toko taha ʻoku malohi ʻiate au; ko e toko taha ʻoku ʻikai te u tāu ke punou ʻo vete ʻa e nonoʻo ʻo hono topuvaʻe. Naʻa ku papitaiso kimoutolu ʻaki ʻa e vai: ka te ne papitaiso kimoutolu ʻe ia ʻaki ʻa e Laumalie Māʻoniʻoni.” (Maʻake 1:7, 8) Ki muʻa ʻi he taimi ko iá, naʻe teʻeki ai ke papitaiso ha taha ia ʻaki a e laumālie māʻoniʻoní. Ko ha fokotuʻutuʻu foʻou ia ʻo kau ai ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, pea naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo e taumuʻa ʻe toki fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻo kau ki hono teuteu ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ki he tuʻunga-pule fakahēvaní.
“Fanauʻi Foou”
3. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻa foʻou ʻo fekauʻaki mo e Puleʻanga ʻo hēvaní naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Sīsū kia Nikotīmasí?
3 ʻI ha fakataha fakafufū mo ha Fālesi ʻiloa, naʻe fakahā lahi ange ai ʻe Sīsū ʻo fekauʻaki mo e taumuʻa fakaʻotua ko ʻení. Naʻe haʻu ʻa e Fālesi ko Nikotīmasí ʻi he poʻulí kia Sīsū, pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū kiate ia: “Kabau e ikai fanauʻi foou ha tagata, e ikai aubito mamata ia ki he buleaga oe Otua.” (Sione 3:3, PM) Ko Nikotīmasi, koeʻuhi ko ha Fālesí kuo pau naʻá ne ako ʻa e Ngaahi Konga Tohitapu Faka-Hepeluú, ko ia ai naʻá ne ʻilo ha meʻa ʻo fekauʻaki mo e moʻoni fakaofo ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻe kikiteʻi ʻi he tohi ʻa Tānielá ko e Puleʻangá ʻe ʻoange ia ki ha taha ʻoku “hage koe foha oe tagata” pea “ki he kakai koe kau maonioni ae Fugani Maoluga.” (Tāniela 7:13, 14, 27, PM) Ko e Puleʻangá te ne “laiki mo fakaʻauha” ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga kehé pea ʻe tuʻu pē ia ʻo taʻengata. (Tāniela 2:44) Ngalingali naʻe fakakaukau ʻa Nikotīmasi ko e ngaahi kikite ko ʻení ʻe fakahoko ia ʻo fekauʻaki mo e puleʻanga Siú; ka ʻoku pehē ʻe Sīsū ia ʻoku totonu ke fanauʻi foʻou ha taha kae lava ʻo sio ki he Puleʻangá. Naʻe ʻikai ke mahino ia kia Nikotīmasi, ko ia naʻe hoko atu ʻa Sīsū ʻo pehē: “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ha taha ʻi he vai mo e Laumālie, ʻe ʻikai te ne lava ke hu ki he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtua.”—Sione 3:5.
4. Ko kinautolu kuo fanauʻi mei he laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ʻoku anga-fēfē ʻa e liliu ʻo honau vahaʻangatae mo Sihova?
4 Naʻe lea ʻa Sione Papitaiso ki he papitaiso ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní. ʻOku tānaki atu ʻeni ʻe Sīsū ia, ko e tokotaha ko iá kuo pau ke fanauʻi mei he laumālie māʻoniʻoní kae hū ki he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI he fanauʻi laulōtaha ko ʻení, ʻoku ʻatā ai ki he kau tangata mo e kau fefine taʻehaohaoá ʻa e vahaʻangatae makehe ʻaupito mo Sihova ko e ʻOtuá. ʻOku nau hoko ko ʻene fānau ohi. ʻOku tau lau: “Ka ko ia kotoabe nae maʻu ia [Sīsū], naa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ae monuia ke hoko ko e fānau ae Otua, kiate, kinautolu be nae tui ki hono huafa: Aia nae ikai fanauʻi i he toto, be i he loto oe kakano, be i he loto oe tagata, ka i he Otua.”—Sione 1:12, 13, PM; Loma 8:15.
Fānau ʻa e ʻOtua
5. Naʻe papitaiso ʻaki ʻa e laumālie maʻoniʻoní ʻa e kau ākonga anga-tonú ʻanefē, pea ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní naʻe fakahoko ʻi he taimi tatau pē?
5 ʻI heʻene lea kia Nikotīmasi, naʻe ʻosi pani ʻa Sīsū ia ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ki hono tuʻunga-tuʻi ʻi he kahaʻu ʻi he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi fakahāhā ʻe he ʻOtuá ko Sīsū ko Hono ʻAló ia. (Mātiu 3:16, 17) Naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Sihova ha fānau fakalaumālie lahi ange ʻi he Penitekosi 33 T.S. Naʻe papitaiso ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻa e kau ākonga anga-tonu naʻe fakatahataha ʻi he loki ʻi ʻolunga ʻi Selusalema. ʻI he taimi tatau pē, naʻe fānauʻi foʻou kinautolu mei he laumālie māʻoniʻoní ke nau hoko ko e ngaahi foha fakalaumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Ngāue 2:2-4, 38; Loma 8:15) ʻIkai ko ia pē, naʻe pani kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní mo e taumuʻa ki he tofiʻa fakahēvani ʻi he kahaʻú, pea naʻe ʻuluaki silaʻi kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ko ha fakaʻilonga ia ʻo e papau ʻa e ʻamanaki fakahēvani ko iá.—2 Kolinitō 1:21, 22.
6. Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa ʻa Sihova ʻo kau ki he Puleʻanga fakahēvaní, pea ko e hā ʻoku feʻunga ai ke kau ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangata ʻi he meʻá ni?
6 Ko e ʻuluaki faʻahinga ʻo e tangata taʻehaohaoa ʻeni naʻe fili ʻe he ʻOtua ke nau hū ki he Puleʻangá. Ko ia ai, ʻi he hili ʻo ʻenau mate mo e toetuʻu, te nau hoko ko e konga ʻo e kautaha ʻo e Puleʻanga fakahēvaní ʻa ia ʻe pule ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá mo e kau ʻāngeló. Ko e taumuʻa ʻa Sihová ʻa ia ʻe fakafou mai ia ʻi he Puleʻanga ko ʻeni, ʻe fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ai ʻa hono huafa tuʻu-ki-muʻá pea fakatonuhiaʻi ʻa hono tuʻunga-haú ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakatupu kotoa pē. (Mātiu 6:9, 10; Sione 12:28) Ko ha meʻa feʻunga ē ko e kau ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi he Puleʻanga ko iá! Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sētane ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi heʻene fai ʻa ʻene ʻuluaki poleʻi ʻa e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová ʻi he ngoue ʻo ʻĪtení, pea ko e taumuʻa ʻeni ia ʻa Sihova ʻa ia ʻoku kau ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi hono tali ʻa e pole ko iá. (Sēnesi 3:1-6; Sione 8:44) Naʻe tohi ʻa e ʻaposetolo ko Pitá ki he faʻahinga naʻe fili ke pule ʻi he Puleʻanga ko iá: “Ke fakamaloʻia, pe ko e ʻOtua mo Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisi; ʻa ia ʻi he lahi o ʻene meesi, naʻa ne fakatupufoʻou kitautolu ke maʻu ha ʻamanaki ʻoku moʻui, ko e meʻa ʻi he toetuʻu ʻa Sīsū mei he pekia; ʻio ke maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻoku taʻeʻauha mo taʻemele mo taʻemae, ʻa ia kuo taʻofia ʻi hevani moʻomoutolu.”—1 Pita 1:3, 4.
7. Ko e hā ʻa e vahaʻangatae laulōtaha mo Sīsū kuo maʻu ʻe he faʻahinga naʻe papitaiso ʻaki ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní?
7 ʻI he tuʻunga ko e ngaahi foha ohi ʻo e ʻOtua, naʻe hoko ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ko ʻeni naʻe filí ko e ngaahi tokoua ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi. (Loma 8:16, 17; 9:4, 26; Hepelū 2:11) Koeʻuhi naʻe toki hā mai ko Sīsū ʻa e Hako naʻe talaʻofa kia ʻĒpalahamé, ko e kau Kalisitiane pani ʻe he laumālie ko ʻení ko ha kaungāfai, pe fakalahi, ko e konga ʻo e Hako ko iá, ʻa ia te ne fakahoko ʻa e tāpuaki ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangata ʻoku nau tuí. (Sēnesi 22:17, 18; Kalētia 3:16, 26, 29) Ko e hā ʻa e tāpuakí? Ko e faingamālie ke hoko ʻo huhuʻi mei he angahalá mo hono fai ʻa e fakalelei ki he ʻOtuá pea mo tauhi kiate ia ʻi he taimí ni ʻo taʻengata. (Mātiu 4:23; 20:28; Sione 3:16, 36; 1 Sione 2:1, 2) Ko e kau Kalisitiane pani ʻi he māmaní ʻoku nau tataki ʻa e faʻahinga loto-totonu ki he tāpuaki ko ʻení ʻi hono fakamoʻoniʻi ki honau tokoua fakalaumālie ko Sīsū Kalaisí pea ki heʻenau Tamai ohí, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtuá.—Ngāue 1:8; Hepelū 13:15.
8. Ko e hā ʻa e “fakaeʻa” ʻo e ngaahi foha pani ʻe he laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá?
8 ʻOku lave ʻa e Tohitapú ki he “fakaeʻa” ʻo e ngaahi foha pani ʻe he laumālie ko ʻeni ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Loma 8:19) Ko e hū ki he Puleʻangá ko e kaungātuʻi mo Sīsuú, ʻoku nau kau ʻi hono fakaʻauha ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu ʻi māmani lahi ʻo Sētané. Hili iá, ʻi he afeʻi taʻu, te nau tokoni ki hono fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga ʻo e feilaulau huhuʻí ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá pea ʻohake ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ki he haohaoa naʻe mole meia ʻĀtamá. (2 Tesalonaika 1:8-10; Fakahā 2:26, 27; 20:6; 22:1, 2) ʻOku kau ki heʻenau fakaeʻa ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ko ʻení. Ko e meʻa ia ʻoku tatali vēkeveke ki ai ʻa e faʻahinga tui ʻo e tangata naʻe fakatupú.
9. ʻOku fēfē ʻa e lave ʻi he Tohitapú ki he kulupu ʻo e kau Kalisitiane pani ʻi māmani lahí?
9 Ko e kulupu ʻo e kau Kalisitiane pani ʻi māmani lahí ko e “fakataha ʻo e ngaahi ʻuluaki foha kuo tohi ʻi langi.” (Hepelū 12:23) Ko kinautolu ia ʻoku nau ʻuluaki maʻu ʻa e ʻaonga mei he feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Sīsū. Ko e “sino ʻo Kalaisi” foki kinautolu, ʻa ia ʻoku hā ai honau vahaʻangatae fekoekoeʻi ʻiate kinautolu pea mo Sīsū. (1 Kolinitō 12:27) Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “He hange tofu pe ʻoku taha ʻa e sino, kae lahi hono ngaahi kupu; pea ko e ngaahi kupu kehekehe ʻo e sino, neongo ʻoku lahi, ka ko e sino pe taha; ʻoku pehe foki ʻa Kalaisi. Kaeʻumaʻā, ʻi he faiʻaki ha Laumalie pe taha, naʻe papitaiso kitautolu kotoa pe ki ha sino pe taha—pe ʻoku tau Siu pe Kalisi, popula pe tauʻataina—pea naʻe fakainuʻaki ʻa kitautolu kotoa pe ha Laumalie pe taha.”—1 Kolinitō 12:12, 13; Loma 12:5; ʻEfesō 1:22, 23; 3:6.
“Isileli oe Otua”
10, 11. ʻI he ʻuluaki senitulí, ko e hā naʻe fiemaʻu ai ha ʻIsileli foʻoú, pea ko hai naʻe faʻuʻaki ʻa e puleʻanga foʻou ko ʻení?
10 Naʻe lahi hake ʻi he taʻu ʻe 1,500 ki muʻa ke haʻu ʻa Sīsū ko e Mīsaia naʻe talaʻofá, ko e puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli fakakakanó naʻe hoko ko e kakai makehe ʻa Sihova. Neongo ʻa e toutou fakamanatú, naʻe toki hā mai ko e puleʻangá fakakātoa naʻe taʻeangatonu. ʻI he hā mai ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe talitekeʻi ia ʻe he puleʻangá. (Sione 1:11) Ko ia, naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki he kau taki lotu Siú: “ʻE toʻo meiate kimoutolu ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtua, pea ʻe tuku ki ha kakai ʻoku fua tāu mo ia.” (Mātiu 21:43) Ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻa e “kakai ʻoku fua tāu [mo e Puleʻangá]” ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻaupito ki he fakamoʻuí.
11 Ko e puleʻanga foʻoú ko e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiane paní, naʻe fanauʻi ʻi he Penitekosi 33 T.S. Ko hono ʻuluaki kau mēmipá ko e kau ākonga Siu ʻa Sīsū ʻa ia naʻa nau tali ia ko honau Tuʻi fakahēvaní. (Ngāue 2:5, 32-36) Kae kehe, ko e kau mēmipa kinautolu ʻo e puleʻanga foʻou ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻo ʻikai ke makatuʻunga ʻi honau tupuʻanga faka-Siú, kae makatuʻunga ia ʻi he tui kia Sīsū. Ko ia, ko e ʻIsileli foʻou ko ʻeni ʻo e ʻOtuá ko ha meʻa laulōtaha ia—ko ha puleʻanga fakalaumālie. ʻI hono fakafisingaʻi ʻe he tokolahi taha ʻo e kau Siú ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe fakaʻatā ʻa e fakaafe ia ke hoko ko ha konga ʻo e puleʻanga foʻoú ki he kau Samēlia pea ki he kau Senitailé. Naʻe ui ʻa e puleʻanga foʻoú ko e “Isileli oe Otua.”—Kalētia 6:16, PM.
12, 13. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e hoko ʻo mahino ko e ʻIsileli foʻoú naʻe ʻikai ko ha siasi ʻo e lotu-Siuta?
12 ʻI ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá, ʻi he hoko ko e kau ului ʻa e faʻahinga ʻikai ko e kau Siú, naʻe pau ke nau talangofua ki he Lao ʻa Mōsesé, pea fakahāhā ʻa e meʻá ni ʻe he kakai tangatá ʻaki ʻenau kamu. (ʻEkisoto 12:48, 49) Naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he kau Kalisitiane Siú ia ʻe niʻihi ʻoku totonu ke ngāueʻaki tatau pē ki he faʻahinga ʻikai ko e kau Siu ʻi he ʻIsileli ʻo e ʻOtuá. Kae kehe, naʻe kehe ʻa e fakakaukau ia ʻa Sihová. Naʻe tataki ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoní ia ʻa e ʻaposetolo ko Pitá ki he ʻapi ʻo e Senitaile ko Koliniusí. ʻI hono tali ʻe Koliniusi mo hono fāmilí ʻa e malanga ʻa Pitá, naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní—ki muʻa pē ia ke nau papitaiso ʻi he vaí. Naʻe fakahā mahino heni naʻe tali ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau Senitaile ko ʻení ko e kau mēmipa ʻo e ʻIsileli ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo ʻikai ke fekau ke nau moʻulaloa ki he Lao ʻa Mōsesé.—Ngāue 10:21-48.
13 Naʻe faingataʻa ki he kau tui ʻe niʻihi ke nau tali ʻa e meʻa ko ʻení, pea naʻe vave ʻa e fetalanoaʻaki ʻa e kau ʻaposetoló mo e kau mātuʻa ʻi Selusalemá ki he meʻá ni kotoa. Naʻe fanongo ʻa e kulupu ko ia naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e mafai ki he fakamoʻoni ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngāue ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻi he kau tui naʻe ʻikai ko e kau Siu. Naʻe hā mei he kumi ki he Tohitapú ko e fakahoko ia ʻo e kikite naʻe fakamanavaʻí. (ʻAisea 55:5; ʻĒmosi 9:11, 12) Naʻe aʻusia ha fili totonu: Naʻe ʻikai ke fiemaʻu ʻa e kau Kalisitiane naʻe ʻikai ko e Siú ia ke moʻulaloa ki he Lao ʻa Mōsesé. (Ngāue 15:1, 6-29) Ko ia, ko ha puleʻanga foʻou moʻoni pē ʻa e ʻIsileli fakalaumālié ia kae ʻikai ko ha siasi ʻo e lotu-Siuta.
14. Ko e hā ʻa e fakakaukau ʻoku tau maʻu mei he ui ʻe Sēmisi ʻa e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ko e “matakali ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻoku nofo movetevete”?
14 ʻI he fetāiaki mo e meʻá ni, ʻi he tohi ʻa e ākonga ko Sēmisí ki he kau Kalisitiane pani ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí, naʻá ne pehē “ki he matakali ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻoku nofo movetevete.” (Sēmisi 1:1; Fakahā 7:3-8) Ko e moʻoni, ko e kakai ʻo e ʻIsileli foʻoú naʻe ʻikai ke vaheʻi ia ki ha ngaahi matakali pau. Naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha vahevahe ia ki he matakali kehe ʻe 12 ʻi he ʻIsileli fakalaumālié ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe hoko ʻi he ʻIsileli fakaekakanó. Ka neongo ia, ʻoku fakahā mei he fakamatala fakamanavaʻi ʻa Sēmisí ʻi he vakai ʻa Sihová ko e ʻIsileli ʻo e ʻOtua naʻá ne fetongi fakaʻaufuli ʻa e matakali ʻe 12 ʻo e ʻIsileli totonú. Kapau naʻe hoko ha ʻIsileli totonu pē ko e konga ʻo e puleʻanga foʻoú, ko hono hohoko fakaekakanó—naʻa mo ʻene kau ʻi he matakali Siuta pe Līvaí—naʻe ʻikai hano mahuʻinga.—Kalētia 3:28; Filipai 3:5, 6.
Ko ha Fuakava Foʻou
15, 16. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e ʻafio ʻa Sihova ki he kau mēmipa ʻikai ko e Siu ʻi he ʻIsileli ʻo e ʻOtuá? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e makatuʻunga fakalao naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻa e ʻIsileli foʻoú?
15 ʻI he ʻafio ʻa Sihová, ko e kau mēmipa ʻoku ʻikai ko e Siu ʻo e puleʻanga foʻou ko ʻení ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e tuʻunga ko e kau Siu fakalaumālie! Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻaposetolo ko Paulá: “He talaʻehai ko e Siu moʻoni ia ʻoku Siu ʻi tuʻa pe; pea talaʻehai ko e kamu moʻoni ia ʻoku ha pe ʻi tuʻa, ʻi he kakano: kaekehe, ko e Siu moʻoni ia ʻoku Siu ʻi loto, pea ko e kamu moʻoni ʻa e kamu ʻo e loto, ʻa ia ʻoku tuʻunga ʻi ha laumalie ʻo ʻikai ʻi ha tohi; ʻa ia ko hono fakamalo ʻoku ʻikai mei he tangata ka mei he ʻOtua.” (Loma 2:28, 29) Naʻe tali ʻe he kau Senitaile tokolahi ʻa e fakaafe ke hoko ko ha konga ʻo e ʻIsileli ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ko e fakalakalaka ko ʻení naʻe fakahoko ai ʻa e kikite ʻi he Tohitapú. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻe tohi ʻe he palōfita ko Hōseá: “Bea teu aloofa kiate ia nae ikai ke maʻu ha aloofa; bea teu behe kiate kinautolu nae ikai ko hoku kakai, Ko hoku kakai akimoutolu, bea te nau behe, Ko ho mau Otua koe.”—Hōsea 2:23, PM; Loma 11:25, 26.
16 Kapau ko e kau ʻIsileli fakalaumālié naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻi he malumalu ʻo e fuakava ʻi he Lao ʻa Mōsesé, ʻoku makatuʻunga ʻi he hā ʻa ʻenau kau ʻi he puleʻanga foʻoú? Naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ha fuakava foʻou ʻo fakafou ʻia Sīsū mo e puleʻanga fakalaumālie ko ʻení. (Hepelū 9:15) ʻI hono kamata ʻe Sīsū ʻa e Fakamanatu ʻo ʻene pekiá, ʻi Nīsani 14, 33 T.S., naʻá ne ʻoatu ʻa e maá mo e uainé ki he kau ʻaposetolo anga-tonu ʻe toko 11 mo pehē, ko e uainé naʻá ne fakatātaaʻi ʻa e “toto fuakava.” (Mātiu 26:28; Selemaia 31:31-34) Hangē ko e lave ki ai ʻa e fakamatala ʻa Luke, naʻe pehe ʻe Sīsū ko e ipu uainé naʻá ne fakatātaaʻi “ʻa e fuakava foʻou.” (Luke 22:20) ʻI hono fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe huaʻi hifo ai ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Penitekosí pea naʻe fanauʻi ai ʻa e ʻIsileli ʻo e ʻOtuá, naʻe ʻave ai ʻa e Puleʻangá ia mei he ʻIsileli fakaekakanó pea naʻe ʻoange ia ki he puleʻanga fakalaumālie foʻoú. Naʻe ʻikai ko e ʻIsileli fakaekakanó, ka ko e puleʻanga foʻou ko ʻení naʻe hoko ia ko e sevāniti ʻa Sihova, naʻe faʻuʻaki ia ʻa ʻene kau fakamoʻoní.—ʻAisea 43:10, 11.
