Kuo Pau ke ʻOua Naʻa Ngalo ʻIate Koe ʻa Sihova
KO E niʻihi ʻi he kulupú ne nau ʻosi fai ʻa e meʻa pehē ki muʻa. Kae kehe, ki he tokolahi tahá ko e ʻuluaki taimi pea ko e taimi pē ia ʻe taha naʻa nau lue ai ʻi ha tokaʻanga vai ʻo ʻikai te nau viviku. Ko e toki ʻosi pē ia hono taʻofi ʻe Sihova ʻa e tafe ʻa e Vaitafe Sioataní. ʻI he taimi ko ení, ʻi ha laka lōloa mo tokolahi, naʻe kolosi atu ai ʻa e laui miliona ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he tokaʻanga vaí ki he Fonua ʻo e Talaʻofá. ʻI he hangē ko ʻenau fanga kuí ʻi he taʻu ʻe 40 ki muʻa ange ʻi he Tahi Kulokulá, ko e tokolahi ko ia naʻa nau kolosi ʻi Sioatani he taimi ko ení kuo pau pē naʻa nau fakakaukau, ‘Heʻikai ʻaupito ngalo ʻiate au ʻa e meʻa kuo fai heni ʻe Sihová.’—Sios. 3:13-17.
Kae kehe, naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova, ʻe ‘ngalo leva ene gaahi gaué’ ʻi he kau ʻIsileli ʻe niʻihi. (Sāme 106:13, PM) Ko ia naʻá ne tuʻutuʻuni ai ki he taki ʻo ʻIsilelí, ʻa Siosiua, ke ne toʻo ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu maka ʻe 12 mei he loto vaitafé ʻo fokotuʻu ʻi he feituʻu te nau ʻuluaki ʻapitanga aí. Naʻe fakamatala ʻa Siosiua: “ʻE hoko ʻa e ngaahi maka ni ko e meʻa fakamanatu ki haʻa Isileli.” (Sios. 4:1-8) Ko e ngaahi maka fakamanatu ko iá ʻe fakamanatu ai ki he puleʻangá ʻa e ngaahi ngāue māfimafiʻia ʻa Sihová pea ʻai ai ke maongo kia kinautolu ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku totonu ai ke nau tauhi mateaki maʻu pē kiate iá.
ʻOku ʻi ai hano mahuʻinga ʻo e fakamatala ko iá ki he kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá he ʻaho ní? ʻIo. Ko kitautolu foki kuo pau ke ʻoua ʻaupito te tau fakangaloʻi ʻa Sihova; kuo pau ke tau hokohoko tauhi mateaki kiate ia. Ko e ngaahi fakatokanga kehe ki he puleʻanga ʻIsilelí ʻe lava ke ngāueʻaki ia ki he kau sevāniti ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ní. Fakakaukau angé ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Mōsesé: “Tokanga kia koe naʻa ngalo ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, hoʻo taʻe tauhi ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, mo ʻene konisitutone, mo ʻene ngaahi fekau.” (Teu. 8:11) ʻOku fakafehokotaki ʻe he meʻa ko iá ʻa hono fakangaloʻi ʻo Sihová ki he talangataʻa loto-lelei ki ai. Ko e fakatuʻutāmakí ʻoku hoko moʻoni foki ia ʻi hotau taimí. ʻI heʻene tohi ki he kau Kalisitiané, ʻoku fakatokanga ai ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he “anga talangataʻa” tatau naʻe fakahāhā ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he toafá.—Hep. 4:8-11.
Tau fakakaukau angé ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko ʻi he hisitōlia ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻa ia ʻe fakamamafaʻi mai ai ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke ngalo ʻia kitautolu ʻa e ʻOtuá. Tānaki atu ki ai, ko e ngaahi lēsoni mei he moʻui ʻa ha ongo tangata mateaki ʻIsileli ʻe tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke tauhi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻa e kātaki mo e houngaʻia.
ʻUhinga ke Manatuʻi Ai ʻa Sihová
ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kotoa naʻe ʻi ʻIsipite ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí, naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ngalo kinautolu ʻia Sihova. Naʻá ne “manatu ki heʻene fuakava mo Epalahame mo Aisake mo Sekope.” (Eki. 2:23, 24) Ko e meʻa leva naʻá ne fai ke fakatauʻatāinaʻi kinautolu mei he nofo pōpulá naʻe taau moʻoni ke manatua.
Naʻe taaʻi ʻaki ʻe Sihova e mala ʻe hiva ʻa ʻIsipite. Ko e kau taulaʻeiki faimana ʻa Feló naʻe ʻikai hanau mālohi ke taʻofi ʻa e ngaahi malá. Neongo ia, naʻe fakafetau ʻa Felo kia Sihova, ʻo fakafisi ke tukuange ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nau ō. (Eki. 7:14–10:29) Kae kehe, ko e nunuʻa ʻo e mala hono hongofulú naʻe fakamālohiʻi ai ʻa e pule hīkisia ko iá ke ne fai ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Eki. 11:1-10; 12:12) ʻI he takimuʻa ʻa Mōsesé, ko e puleʻanga ʻIsilelí mo ha fuʻu kakai muli tokolahi ko hono fakakātoá ko e kakai nai ʻe toko 3,000,000 naʻa nau mavahe mei ʻIsipite. (Eki. 12:37, 38) Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa mei heʻenau mavahé kuo toe liliu e fakakaukau ʻa Feló. Naʻá ne fekauʻi ʻene kau tau heka saliote mo heka hōsí—ʻa e kau tau mālohi taha ʻi he māmaní he taimi ko iá—ke nau toe puke mai ʻa ʻene kau pōpula ki muʻá. Lolotonga ení, naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese ke ne taki ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ki ha kiʻi feituʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e Tahi Kulokulá mo ha ʻotu moʻunga, ko ha feituʻu naʻe ngalingali heʻikai lava ke nau hao ai naʻe ui ko Piheloti.—Eki. 14:1-9.
Naʻe tui ʻa Felo kuo hū ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ki ha tauhele, pea naʻe teu ke ʻohofi kinautolu ʻe heʻene kau taú. Ka naʻe taʻotaʻofi ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau ʻIsipité ʻaki ʻene fokotuʻu ha fuʻu pou ʻao mo ha fuʻu pou afi ʻi honau vahaʻa mo e kau ʻIsilelí. Naʻe hanga leva ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo fakamavaeua ʻa e Tahi Kulokulá, ʻo fakaava ha hala ʻi he kilisitahí fakataha mo e kauʻā ʻo e tahí naʻe aʻu nai ki he mita ʻe 15 hono māʻolungá ʻi he ongo tafaʻakí taki taha. Naʻe kamata kolosi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he tahí ʻi he kelekele mōmoa. ʻIkai fuoloa kuo ʻi he matātahí ʻa e kau ʻIsipité, ʻo sio atu ki he fononga ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ki he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá.—Eki. 13:21; 14:10-22.
Naʻe mei tuku ʻa e tulí ʻe ha taki naʻe fakapotopoto ange—ka naʻe ʻikai pehē ʻa Felo. ʻI he falala tōtuʻa kiate iá, naʻá ne fekauʻi atu ʻa e ngaahi salioté mo e kau tangata heka hōsí ki he tokaʻanga vaí. Naʻe hokohoko atu e tuli ʻa e kau ʻIsipité. Ka ki muʻa ke nau maʻu ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí naʻe ngata fakafokifā ai ʻenau tuli fakavalevalé. Naʻe ʻikai kei lava ke vilo e vaʻe ʻo e ngaahi saliote ʻa e kau ʻIsipité! Naʻe veteki ia ʻe Sihova.—Eki. 14:23-25; 15:9.
Lolotonga ʻa e fāinga ʻa e kau ʻIsipité mo ʻenau ngaahi saliote tau kuo maumaú, ne aʻu kotoa ai ʻa ʻIsileli ki he matātahi fakahahaké. Naʻe mafao atu he taimi ko ení ʻe Mōsese ʻa hono nimá ki he Tahi Kulokulá. ʻI he meʻa ko iá, naʻe ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻa e kauʻā vai naʻá ne faʻu ʻa e halá ke haʻulu hifo. Naʻe lōmakiʻi ʻaki ʻa e toni vai ʻe laui miliona ʻa Felo mo ʻene kau taú, ʻo nau melemo ai. Naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻo e ngaahi fili ko iá ʻe hao. Naʻe tauʻatāina ʻa ʻIsileli!—Eki. 14:26-28; Sāme 136:13-15.
Ko e ongoongo ʻo e meʻa ko eni naʻe hokó naʻá ne ʻai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga takatakaí ke nau ilifia fuoloa. (Eki. 15:14-16) ʻI he taʻu ʻe 40 ki mui ai, naʻe tala ange ʻe Lēhapi ki ha ongo tangata ʻIsileli: “Kuo vai ʻa e loto ʻo e kakai kotoa pe ʻo e fonua ni koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu. He kuo mau fanongo ki he fakamatuʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa e Tahi Kulokula ʻi homou ʻao ʻi hoʻomou hu mai mei Isipite.” (Sios. 2:9, 10) Naʻa mo e ngaahi puleʻanga pangani ko iá naʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻia kinautolu ʻa hono fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa hono kakaí. ʻOku hā mahino, naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa e ʻuhinga lahi ange ke nau manatuʻi ia.
‘Tauhi Kinautolu Hange ko Hono Tamaʻimatá’
Hili ʻenau fou ʻi he Tahi Kulokulá, naʻe hū ai ʻa ʻIsileli ki he Toafa Sainaí, ko ha “toafa lahi mo fakailifia.” ʻI heʻenau fononga ʻo kolosi ʻi he “fonua ʻauinua ʻoku ʻikai ha vai”—pea ʻikai ha meʻakai ki he fuʻu tokolahi peheé—naʻe ʻikai nounou ʻa e toʻukupu ʻo Sihová. Naʻe fakamanatu ʻe Mōsese: “Naʻe ʻilo [ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli] he fonua toafa, ʻi he fonua mamate mo uʻulu mo lālāfuaʻa; naʻa ne kapui ia, naʻa ne nofoʻaki lama, naʻa ne tauhi ia hange [ko] hono tamaʻimata.” (Teu. 8:15; 32:10) Naʻe anga-fēfē hono tokangaʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá?
Naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sihova kia kinautolu ʻa e ‘mā mei langi’ naʻe ui ko e mana, ʻa ia naʻe ʻasi fakaemana “ʻi he toafa.” (Eki. 16:4, 14, 15, 35) Naʻe toe ʻai ʻe Sihova ke tafe mai ʻa e vai ‘mei he makahunú.’ ʻI he tāpuaki ʻa Sihová, naʻe ʻikai motuʻa ʻa honau kofú, pea naʻe ʻikai ke fepulopulasi honau vaʻé lolotonga ʻa e taʻu ʻe 40 naʻa nau ʻi he toafá aí. (Teu. 8:4) Ko e hā naʻe ʻamanekina tonu ʻe Sihova meia kinautolú? Naʻe tala ʻe Mōsese ki ʻIsileli: “Ke ke tokanga kia koe, mo lamalama lahi ho laumalie ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pe ʻo hoʻo moʻui, naʻa ngalo ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ne mātaʻi ʻe ho mata, pea naʻa mole ia mei ho loto.” (Teu. 4:9) Kapau naʻe manatuʻi ʻi he houngaʻia ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻa e ngaahi ngāue fakaefakahaofi ʻa Sihová, naʻa nau mei tauhi maʻu pē kiate ia pea feinga ke talangofua ki heʻene ngaahi laó. Ko e hā ʻe fai ʻe ʻIsilelí?
Fakatupunga ʻe he Loto-Ngalongaló ʻa e Taʻehoungaʻia
Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Mōsese: “Kuo ngalo ʻa e Makatuʻu naʻe fakatupu koe, pea kuo ke fakatukutukuʻi ʻa e ʻOtua.” (Teu. 32:18) Ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sihova ʻi he Tahi Kulokulá, ko ʻene ngaahi tokonaki naʻá ne tauhi ʻa e puleʻangá ke nau moʻui ʻi he toafá, mo e ngaahi meʻa lelei kehe kotoa pē naʻe fai ʻe Sihová naʻe vave hono tukunoaʻi pe fakangaloʻí. Naʻe hoko ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻo anga-tuʻu.
ʻI he taimi ʻe taha naʻe fakakē ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí kia Mōsese koeʻuhi ko ʻenau pehē ʻoku ʻikai ha vai ke inu. (Nom. 20:2-5) ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e mana naʻa nau moʻui aí, naʻa nau lāunga: “ʻOku fakaliliʻa ʻemau moʻui ki he ngeʻesi meʻakai ni.” (Nom. 21:5) Naʻa nau fehuʻia ʻa e fakamaau ʻa e ʻOtuá pea talitekeʻi ʻa Mōsese ʻi hono tuʻunga ko e takí, ʻi heʻenau pehē: “Taumaiā naʻa mau mate ʻi Isipite! pe taumaiā naʻa mau mate ʻi he toafa ni! . . . Tau fokotuʻu hatau kapiteni, ʻo tau foki ki Isipite.”—Nom. 14:2-4.
Naʻe anga-fēfē ongoʻi ʻa Sihova ʻi he talangataʻa ʻa ʻIsilelí? ʻI he sio atu ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe hokó, naʻe tohi ki mui ʻe ha tokotaha-tohi-saame: “Nae liuga fiha e nau fakahouhau kiate ia i he toafa, bea fakamamahiʻi ia i he botu lala! Io, naa nau foki kimui bea ahiahiʻi ae Otua, o nau hūhūmamaʻi ae Toko Taha Maonioni o Isileli. Nae ikai te nau manatu ki hono nima, be koe aho naa ne fakamoui ai akinautolu mei he fili. Mo ene fai ene gaahi fakailoga i Ijibite.” (Sāme 78:40-43, PM) ʻIo, ko e loto-ngalongalo ʻa ʻIsilelí naʻe fakamamahiʻi lahi ai ʻa Sihova.
ʻIkai Ngalo ʻi ha Toko Ua
Kae kehe, ko e kau ʻIsileli ʻe niʻihi, naʻe ʻikai ngalo ʻia kinautolu ʻa Sihova. Ko e toko ua ai ko Siosiua pea mo Kēlepi. Naʻá na ʻi ha kulupu ʻo e kau asiasi ʻe toko 12 naʻe fekauʻi mei Kētesi-panea ke nau vakaiʻi ʻa e Fonua ʻo e Talaʻofá. Naʻe fai ʻe ha toko hongofulu ha līpooti kovi, ka naʻe tala ʻe Siosiua mo Kēlepi ki he kakaí: “Ko e fonua naʻa mau ʻalu atu ai hono asiasi ko e fonua lelei ʻaupito ʻaupito. Kapau ʻe hoifua ʻa e ʻEiki kiate kitautolu te ne fakahu kitautolu ki he fonua ni, pea te ne foaki kiate kitautolu; ko e fonua ʻoku mahutafea ʻi he huʻakau mo e honi. Kehe ke ʻoua te mou angatuʻu kia Sihova.” ʻI he fanongo ʻa e kakaí ki he ngaahi lea ko iá, naʻa nau alea ke tolomakaʻi ʻa Siosiua mo Kēlepi. Ka naʻe tuʻu mālohi ʻa e toko ua ko iá fakataha mo e falala kia Sihova.—Nom. 14:6-10.
ʻI he ngaahi taʻu ki mui ai, naʻe tala ange ai ʻe Kēlepi kia Siosiua: “[Naʻe] fekau au ʻe Mosese ko e sevaniti ʻa Sihova, keu ʻalu mei Ketesipanea ke asiasi ʻa e fonua; peau foki mo au ʻa e tala naʻe hoa mo hoku loto. Ka ko e kainga naʻe ʻalu hake mo au naʻa nau fakavaivaiʻi ʻa e loto ʻo e kakai: ka ko au naʻa ku topuvaʻetaha mo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua.” (Sios. 14:6-8) ʻI he falala ki he ʻOtuá, naʻe kātekina ai ʻe Kēlepi mo Siosiua ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa kehekehe. Naʻá na fakapapauʻi ke manatua ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kotoa ʻo ʻena moʻuí.
Naʻe toe fakahaaʻi ʻe Kēlepi mo Siosiua ʻa e houngaʻia, ʻi heʻena ʻiloʻi naʻe fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻene talaʻofa fekauʻaki mo ha fonua mahutafea maʻa hono kakaí. ʻIo, naʻe fakamālōʻia ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻene tauhi moʻui kinautolú. Naʻe tohi ʻe Siosiua: “Naʻe tuku ʻe Sihova ki Isileli ʻa hono kotoa ʻo e fonua naʻa ne fuakava ke foaki ki honau tupuʻanga . . . Naʻe ʻikai ke to kelekele ha momoʻi meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi lelei naʻa ne talaʻofa ki haʻa Isileli; naʻe hoko hono kotoa.” (Sios. 21:43, 45) ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakahāhā he ʻahó ni ʻa e houngaʻia ʻo hangē ko Kēlepi mo Siosiuá?
Fakamālō
Naʻe ʻeke ʻi he taimi ʻe taha ʻe ha tangata manavahē-ʻOtua: “Te u totongi fefe kia Sihova ʻa e fuʻu hulu ʻene ʻofa kia kita?” (Sāme 116:12) ʻOku fuʻu lahi fau hotau moʻua ki he ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene ngaahi tāpuaki fakamatelié, ko ʻene tataki fakalaumālié, mo ʻene ngaahi founga ki he fakamoʻui ʻi he kahaʻú ʻa ia heʻikai feʻunga haʻatau fakamālō ʻo taʻengata kiate ia. Ko hono moʻoní, heʻikai ʻaupito lava ke tau totongi fakafoki kia Sihova. Ka ko e fakamāloó ʻa e meʻa te tau lava kotoa ke faí.
Kuo tokoniʻi koe ʻe he akonaki ʻa Sihová ke ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he palopalemá? Kuo tokoniʻi koe ʻe heʻene fakamolemolé ke ke toe maʻu ai ha konisēnisi maʻa? Ko e ngaahi ʻaonga mei he ngaahi ngāue ko ia ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku tuʻuloa, pea ʻoku totonu ke pehē ʻetau fakamālō kiate iá. Naʻe fehangahangai ha kiʻi taʻahine taʻu 14 ko Sandra mo ha ngaahi palopalema mafatukituki ka naʻá ne ikuʻi ia ʻi he tokoni ʻa Sihová. ʻOkú ne pehē: “Naʻá ku lotu kia Sihova ki ha tokoni, pea ko ʻene ngaahi founga ki hono fakaleleiʻi ʻo e ngaahi meʻá naʻe maongo kiate au. ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi he taimí ni ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻe faʻa lea mai ai ʻeku tamaí fekauʻaki mo e Palovepi 3:5, 6: ‘Falala ki he ʻEikí ʻaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo ho lotó, ʻo ʻouae fāki ki ho poto oʻoú: Ke ke fakaongo kiate ia ʻi ho hala kotoa pe, pea ʻe fakatonutonu ʻe ia ho ngaahi ʻalungá.’ ʻOku ou fakapapauʻi ʻe tokoniʻi maʻu pē au ʻe Sihova, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko ʻene tokoniʻi au he taimi ní.”

ʻI he ʻahó ni ʻoku lotu ai ʻa e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané kia Sihova ʻo “fai ʻi laumālie mo fai ʻi moʻoni.” (Sione 4:23, 24) ʻI he tuʻunga ko ha kulupú, heʻikai ʻaupito ngalo ʻi he kau Kalisitiane moʻoní ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe hoko ki he puleʻanga ʻIsilelí.
