ʻOku Mātuʻaki Mahuʻinga ʻa e Falalá ki ha Moʻui Fiefia
KO E konā ʻi he meʻakaí ʻoku mātuʻaki kovi. Ko ha tokotaha ʻokú ne toutou hokosia iá ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ne tokanga lahi ange ki heʻene tōʻonga kaí. Ka ke liʻaki fakaʻaufuli ʻa e meʻakaí koeʻuhi ke fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei he fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e konā he meʻakaí ʻoku ʻikai ko ha fili totonu ia. Ko hono fai iá ʻe fakatupunga ai ʻa e palopalema lahi ange ʻi he meʻa te ne solová. ʻI he ʻikai ha meʻakaí ʻe ʻikai lava ai ha taha ke moʻui fuoloa.
ʻI ha founga meimei tatau, ʻoku fakamamahi ke lavakiʻi ʻa ʻete falalá. Ko e toutou lavakiʻi ʻo e falalá te ne ʻai nai ai kitautolu ke tau fakakaukau fakalelei fekauʻaki mo ʻetau fili ʻa e ngaahi feohí. Neongo ia, ke tafoki fakaʻaufuli mei he kakaí koeʻuhi ke fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei he fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e hoko ʻo lavakiʻí ʻoku ʻikai ko e fakaleleiʻangá ia. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhi ko e hoko ʻo taʻefalala ki he niʻihi kehé ʻokú ne kaihaʻasi meiate kitautolu ʻetau fiefiá tonu. Ke iku ki ha moʻui fiemālie, ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ʻa e ngaahi vahaʻangatae ʻoku makatuʻunga ʻi he fefalalaʻaki.
“Ko e falalá ʻoku faʻuʻaki ia ʻa e taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻa tefito ki he felāveʻi ʻo ʻikai ha palopalema ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē mo e niʻihi kehé,” ko e fakamatala ia ʻa e tohi Jugend 2002. “ʻOku fakaʻamu ʻa e tokotaha kotoa ki he falalá,” ko e līpooti ia ʻa e nusipepa Neue Zürcher Zeitung. “ʻOku fakaleleiʻi ʻe he falalá ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e moʻuí” ki ha tuʻunga ʻa ia “ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ki he haó.” Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku hoko atu ʻa e nusipepá, ʻi he ʻikai ha falalá, “ʻe ʻikai lava ke fekuki ai ha tokotaha mo e moʻuí.”
Koeʻuhi ʻoku tau maʻu ha fiemaʻu tefito ke tuku ʻetau falalá ki ha taha, ko hai ʻe lava ke tau falala ki ai ʻo ʻikai hoko ai ha fakatuʻutāmaki ʻi hano lavakiʻi?
Falala kia Sihova ʻAki Ho Lotó Kotoa
“Falala kia Jihova aki ho loto kotoa,” ko e tala mai ia ʻe he Tohitapú kia kitautolú. (Palovepi 3:5, PM) Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku toutou fakalototoʻaʻi kitautolu ʻe he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ke tau falala ki hotau Tokotaha-Fakatupú, ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá.
Ko e hā ʻoku lava ai ke tuku ʻetau falalá ki he ʻOtuá? ʻUluakí, koeʻuhí ko Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku māʻoniʻoni. Naʻe tohi ʻa e palōfita ko ʻAiseá: “Oku maonioni, oku maonioni, oku maonioni, a Jihova.” (Aisea 6:3, PM) ʻIkai ʻoku tohoakiʻi koe ʻe he fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga māʻoniʻoní? Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku totonu ke ne tohoakiʻi koe koeʻuhi ko e tuʻunga māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sihová ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ʻokú ne maʻa, ʻatā mei he faihala kotoa, pea alafalalaʻanga fakaʻaufuli. ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te ne hoko ʻo fakameleʻi pe ngaohikovia, pea ʻoku faingataʻa kiate ia ke ne maumauʻi ʻetau falalá.
ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻe lava ke tau tuku ʻetau falalá ki he ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ko ʻene malavá mo ʻene holi ke tokoniʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau tauhi kiate iá. Ko e fakatātaá, ko hono mālohi aoniú, ʻokú ne ʻai ia ke ne malava ai ʻo ngāue. Ko ʻene fakamaau totonu haohaoá mo e potó ʻokú ne tataki ʻa e founga ʻo ʻene ngaahi ngāué. Pea ko ʻene ʻofa taʻehanotataú ʻoku ueʻi ai ia ke ne ngāue. “Ko e ʻOtua ko e ʻOfa,” ko e tohi ia ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Sioné. (1 Sione 4:8) Ko e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻokú ne tākiekina ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻokú ne faí. Ko e tuʻunga māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sihová mo hono ngaahi ʻulungaanga tuʻu-ki-muʻa kehé ʻokú ne ʻai ia ko ha Tamai haohaoa, ko ha taha ʻa ia ʻe lava ke tuku ki ai ʻetau falala kakató. ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa pea ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻe faifai angé pea lava ke ne alafalalaʻanga ange ʻia Sihova.
Falala kia Sihova pea Fiefia
Ko e toe ʻuhinga lelei ʻe taha ki he falala kia Sihová he ʻokú ne mahinoʻi lelei ange kitautolu ʻi ha toe taha kehe pē. ʻOkú ne ʻafioʻi ʻoku maʻu ʻe he tangata taki taha ha fiemaʻu tefito ki ha vahaʻangatae malu, tuʻuloa, mo falalaʻanga mo e Tokotaha-Fakatupú. Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau maʻu ha vahaʻangatae peheé ʻoku nau ongoʻi malu ange. “Monuʻiaā ka ko e tangata, kuo tuʻu ʻia Sihova ʻene falala,” ko e fakamulituku ia ʻa Tuʻi Tēvitá. (Sāme 40:4) ʻOku fakaongo ʻaufuatō atu ʻe he laui miliona he ʻahó ni ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻa Tēvitá.
Vakai angé ki ha ngaahi fakatātā ʻe niʻihi. Naʻe nofo ʻa Doris ʻi he Lepupilika Tominiká, Siamane, Kalisi, mo e ʻIunaite Seteté. ʻOkú ne pehē: “ʻOku ou fiefia ʻaupito ke tuku ʻeku falalá ʻia Sihova. ʻOkú ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e founga ke tokangaʻi fakaesino, fakalaumālie, mo fakaeongo ai aú. Ko e kaumeʻa lelei taha ia ʻe lava ke faifai pea maʻu ʻe ha tahá.” Ko Wolfgang, ko ha tokotaha faleʻi fakalao, ʻokú ne fakamatala: “ʻOku fakaofo ʻa e malava ke falala ki ha tokotaha ʻokú ne tokanga ki hoʻo leleí, ko ha tokotaha ʻa ia ʻe lava—pea te ne malava moʻoni—ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku lelei tahá maʻau!” Ko Ham, ʻa ia naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻi ʻĒsia ka ʻokú ne nofo he taimí ni ʻi ʻIulope, ʻokú ne fakamatala: “ʻOku ou falala ʻoku puleʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne fai ha fehālaaki, ko ia ʻoku ou fiefia ke falala kiate ia.”
Ko e moʻoni, ko kitautolu taki taha ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau falala ʻo ʻikai ki hotau Tokotaha-Fakatupú pē kae pehē foki ki he kakaí. Ko ia ai, ko Sihova, ʻi hono tuʻunga ko ha kaumeʻa poto mo taukeí, ʻokú ne ʻomai kia kitautolu ʻa e faleʻi fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga tāutaha ʻoku totonu ke tau falala ki aí. ʻI hono lau fakalelei ʻa e Tohitapú, ʻe lava ke tau fakatokangaʻi ai ʻene akonakí ʻi he meʻá ni.
Kakai ʻa Ia ʻe Lava Ke Tau Falala ki Aí
“ʻOua ʻe tuʻu hoʻomou falala kia houʻeiki, ki ha hakoʻi tangata ʻoku ʻikai ai ha tokoni,” ko e tohi ia ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé. (Sāme 146:3) Ko e fakamatala fakamānavaʻi ko ení ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke lāuʻilo ʻoku ʻikai tuha ʻa e faʻahinga tokolahi ʻo e tangatá mo ʻetau falalá. Naʻa mo e faʻahinga ʻoku fakamāʻolungaʻi lahi ʻi he tuʻunga ko e “houʻeiki” ʻo e māmani ko ení, hangē ko e kau mataotao ʻi he ngaahi malaʻe makehe ʻo e ʻiló pe ngāué, ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻotomētiki pē ʻenau tuha mo ʻetau falalá. Ko ʻenau tatakí ʻoku faʻa fehālaaki, pea ko e falala ʻoku fai ki he “houʻeiki” peheé ʻe lava ke iku vave ki he siva ʻa e ʻamanakí.
Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke hanga ʻe he meʻá ni ʻo ʻai kitautolu ke tau taʻefalala ki he tokotaha kotoa. Kae kehe, ʻoku mahino ʻa e fiemaʻu ke tau hoko ʻo filifili ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fili ai ʻa e faʻahinga ke tuku ki ai ʻetau falalá. Ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga ʻoku totonu ke tau ngāueʻakí? Ko ha fakatātā mei he puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga muʻá ʻe tokoni nai ia kia kitautolu. ʻI heʻene hoko ʻo fiemaʻu ke fakanofo ʻa e faʻahinga tāutaha ʻa ia naʻe pau ke nau fua ʻa e kavenga mamafa ʻi ʻIsilelí, naʻe faleʻi ai ʻa Mōsese ke ne “fili mei he kakai ae kau tagata oku mafai, oku manavahe ki he Otua, koe kau tagata oe mooni, oku fehia ki he manumanu.” (Ekisoto 18:21, PM) Ko e hā ʻe lava ke tau ako mei he meʻá ni?
Ko e kau tangata eni naʻa nau fakahāhā ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga fakaʻotua pau ki muʻa ke fakanofo ki he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e falalá. Ne nau ʻosi fakahaaʻi ʻa e fakamoʻoni naʻa nau manavahē ki he ʻOtuá; naʻa nau maʻu ha ʻapasia lelei ki he Tokotaha-Fakatupú pea manavahē ke taʻefakahōifua kiate ia. Naʻe hā mahino ki he tokotaha kotoa ko e kau tangatá ni naʻa nau fai ʻenau lelei tahá ke pouaki ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻa nau fehiʻa ki he mānumanú, ʻa ia naʻe fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e mālohi fakaeʻulungaanga ʻa ia te ne taʻofi kinautolu mei he hoko ʻo fakameleʻi ʻe he mafaí. ʻE ʻikai te nau ngāuekoviʻaki ʻa e falalá koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ʻaki ʻenau ngaahi meʻa fakafoʻituitui ʻanautolú pe ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻa e kāingá pe ngaahi kaumeʻá.
ʻIkai ʻe fakapotopoto kia kitautolu ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e tuʻunga tatau he ʻahó ni ʻi he taimi ʻo hono fili ʻa e faʻahinga ʻa ia ʻoku tuku ki ai ʻetau falalá? ʻOku tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e faʻahinga tāutaha ʻa ia ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻi heʻenau tōʻongá ʻoku nau manavahē ki he ʻOtuá? ʻOku nau fakapapauʻi ke tauhi ki heʻene ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e ʻulungāngá? ʻOku nau maʻu ʻa e anga-tonu ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei hono fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonú? ʻOku nau maʻu ʻa e faitotonu ke ʻoua ʻe ngāueʻaki ha tuʻunga ki he lelei pē ʻanautolú pe koeʻuhí ke maʻu ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku nau fiemaʻú? Ko e moʻoni ko e kau tangata mo e kau fefine ʻoku nau fakahāhā ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga peheé ʻoku nau tuha mo ʻetau falalá.
ʻOua ʻe Loto-Siʻi ʻi he Siva he Taimi ki he Taimi ʻa e ʻAmanakí
ʻI hono fakapapauʻi ʻa e tokotaha ʻe lava ke tau falala ki aí, kuo pau ke tau kātaki, koeʻuhi ko e falalá ʻoku maʻu ia ʻi ha vahaʻa taimi. Ko e ʻalunga fakapotopotó ke fakaaʻu māmālie ʻetau falalá ki ha tokotaha, ʻi he sitepu ki he sitepu. Anga-fēfē? Sai, te tau siofi nai ha ʻulungaanga ʻo ha tokotaha ʻi ha vahaʻa taimi, ʻo siofi ʻa e anga ʻo ʻene ngāué ʻi ha ngaahi tuʻunga pau. ʻOku falalaʻanga ʻa e tokotahá ʻi he fanga kiʻi meʻa īkí? Hangē ko ení, ʻokú ne fakafoki ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe kolé ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá ne palōmesi ki aí pea ʻokú ne tauhi taimi ki he ngaahi ʻapoinimení? Kapau ko ia, te tau ongoʻi nai ʻe lava ke fakaaʻu ʻetau falalá kiate ia ʻi he tuʻunga malu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa mafatukituki angé. ʻOku fehoanaki eni mo e tefitoʻi moʻoni: “Ko ia oku agatonu i he mea jii, oku agatonu foki ia i he mea lahi.” (Luke 16:10, PM) Ko e hoko ʻo filifili mo kātakí te ne tokoniʻi nai kitautolu ke fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei he siva lahi ʻa e ʻamanakí.
Neongo ia, fēfē kapau ʻe tuku hifo kitautolu ʻe ha taha? Ko e kau ako ʻo e Tohitapú te nau manatuʻi ʻi he pō ʻo hono puke iá, naʻe tuku hifo lahi ai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻe heʻene kau ʻapositoló. Naʻe lavakiʻi ia ʻe Siutasi ʻIsikaliote, pea naʻe hola ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻi he manavahē. Naʻe aʻu ʻo fakafisingaʻi ʻe Pita ʻa Sīsū ʻo liunga tolu. Ka naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Sīsū ko Siutasi pē naʻe ngāue loto-fiefaí. Ko hono tuku hifo ʻi ha taimi faingataʻa peheé naʻe ʻikai taʻofi ai ʻa Sīsū mei heʻene toe fakapapauʻi ʻa ʻene falala ki he toenga ʻo e kau ʻapositolo ʻe toko 11 ʻi ha ngaahi uike siʻi pē ki mui ai. (Mātiu 26:45-47, 56, 69-75; 28:16-20) ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, kapau ʻoku tau ongoʻi ʻoku lavakiʻi kitautolu ʻe ha taha ʻoku tau falala ki ai, ʻoku lelei ke tau fakakaukau pe ko e lavakiʻi naʻe ʻiloʻí ko ha fakamoʻoni ia ʻo ha laumālie taʻefalalaʻanga pe ko ha vaivai ʻi ha mōmeniti ʻa e kakanó.
ʻOku Ou Alafalalaʻanga?
Ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne fakapapauʻi ke hoko ʻo filifili fekauʻaki mo ia ʻokú ne falala ki aí kuo pau ke ne faitotonu ʻo ʻeke hifo kiate ia: ‘ʻOku ou alafalalaʻanga? Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻuhinga lelei ʻo e tuʻunga falalaʻangá ʻoku totonu ke u ʻamanekina meiate au mo e niʻihi kehé?’
Ko e moʻoni ko ha tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku alafalalaʻanga ʻoku ne lea hokohoko ʻaki ʻa e moʻoní. (Efeso 4:25) ʻOku ʻikai te ne feʻunuʻaki ʻene ngaahi leá ke feʻunga mo ʻene kau fanongó koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu ai ha ʻaonga fakafoʻituitui. Pea kapau ʻokú ne fai ha fuakava, ko e tangata alafalalaʻangá ʻokú ne fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻi hono mālohí ke tauhi ki heʻene leá. (Mātiu 5:37) Kapau ʻoku falala ha taha kiate ia, ko e tokotaha alafalalaʻangá ʻokú ne tauhi ʻa e falala ko iá ʻo ʻikai te ne ngutu lau. Ko ha tokotaha alafalalaʻanga ʻokú ne anga-tonu ki hono hoa malí. ʻOku ʻikai te ne sio ʻi he fakatātā fakalieliá, ʻoku ʻikai te ne nōfoʻi ʻi he ngaahi ʻāvea fakakakanó, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakamalinga. (Mātiu 5:27, 28) Ko ha tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku tuha mo ʻetau falalá ʻokú ne ngāue mālohi ke maʻu ha moʻui maʻana mo hono fāmilí pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne feinga ke maʻu faingofua ha paʻanga ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e kakai kehé. (1 Timote 5:8) Ko hono manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻuhinga lelei mo Fakatohitapu peheé te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e kakai ʻa ia ʻe lava ke tau falala ki aí. ʻIkai ngata aí, ko e pipiki ki he ngaahi tuʻunga tatau ʻo e tōʻongá te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu taki taha ke tau tuha ai mo e hoko ʻo falala ki ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé.
ʻE fakafiefia ke moʻui ʻi ha māmani ʻa ia ʻoku alafalalaʻanga ai ʻa e kakai kotoa pē pea ko e ngaahi siva ʻa e ʻamanakí fakafou ʻi hono maumauʻi ʻo e falalá ko e ngaahi meʻa pē ia ʻo e kuohilí! Ko ha misi pē ia? ʻOku ʻikai ki he kakai ʻoku nau fai fakamātoato ki he ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e Tohitapú, he ʻoku tomuʻa tala ʻe he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa e hoko mai ʻa ha “fonua foʻou” ʻoku ʻatā mei he kākā, loi, mo e ngāue taʻetotonu kotoa pea ʻatā mei he mamahí, puké, pea naʻa mo e maté! (2 Pita 3:13; Sāme 37:11, 29; Fakahā 21:3-5) ʻIkai ʻoku taau ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e ʻamanaki ko ení? ʻE fiefia ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ke ʻoatu kia koe ʻa e fakamatala lahi ange ki he meʻá ni mo e ngaahi tuʻunga-lea mātuʻaki mahuʻinga kehe.
