ʻI HE ʻapitanga he Tokalelei ʻo Mōapé ʻi he 1473 K.M., kuo pau pē naʻe fiefia ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke fanongo ki he ngaahi leá ni: “Tokonaki hamou ʻoho; he ʻi he teʻeki ke ʻosi ha ʻaho ʻe tolu te mou ʻalu atu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani na, ko hoʻomou ʻalu atu ke maʻu ʻa e fonua, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻatu ʻe Sihova ko homou ʻOtua ke mou maʻu.” (Siosiua 1:11) Ko ʻenau fononga holo taʻu ʻe 40 ʻi he toafá ʻoku teu ke ngata.

Pea ko Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, ko ia ia te ne fakateka atu kinautolu mei homou ʻao; ʻio te ne kapusi kinautolu ke ʻoua te mou sio ki ai; pea te mou maʻu honau fonua, hange ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu.”—Siosiua 23:4, 5.

KI HE “TAFAGAFAGA O JELIKO”
Ko ha ngāue lahi ē ʻoku maʻu ʻe Siosiuá ʻi he folofola ange ʻa Sihova kiate ia: “Ko Mosese ko ʻeku sevaniti kuo pekia; pea ko e ni ke ke tuʻu koe ʻo ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani na, ʻakoe mo e kakai ni katoa, ʻo aʻu ki he fonua ʻa ia ʻoku ou foaki ni kiate kinautolu, ʻio ki haʻa Isileli”! (Siosiua 1:2) Ko e ngāue ʻa Siosiuá ke tataki ha puleʻanga ʻo e kakai ʻe laui miliona ki he Fonua ʻo e Talaʻofá. ʻI he teuteú, ʻokú ne fekauʻi atu ʻa e ongo asiasi ʻe toko ua ki Sielikō—ʻa e kolo ʻa ia ʻe ʻuluaki ikunaʻí. ʻOku nofo ʻi he kolo ko iá ʻa e paʻumutu ko Lēhapí, ʻa ia kuó ne fanongo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi ngāue mālohi kuo fakahoko ʻe Sihova maʻa hono kakaí. ʻOkú ne maluʻi mo tokoniʻi ʻa e ongo asiasí pea maʻu meiate kinaua ha palōmesi ʻo e fakahaofi.
ʻI he foki mai ʻa e ongo asiasí, ʻoku mateuteu ʻa Siosiua mo e kakaí ke ngaʻunu ʻo kolosi ʻi Sioatani. Neongo ʻa ʻene ʻi he tuʻunga huʻá, ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa e ʻikai hoko ʻa e vaitafé ko ha fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻanga kia kinautolu, he ʻoku fakatupunga ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi vai ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá ke mahiki hake ʻo hangē ha kauʻaá pea fakaʻatā ʻa e ngaahi vai ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻoku tafe mei aí ke fakamaha ia ki he Tahi Maté. Hili ʻa e kolosi ʻi Sioataní, ʻoku ʻapitanga ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi Kilikali, ofi ki Sielikō. ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fā ki mui ai, ʻi he efiafi ʻi hono ʻaho 14 ʻo ʻĀpipí, ʻoku nau kātoangaʻi ai ʻa e Laka-Atú ʻi he tafangafanga ʻo Sielikoó. (Siosiua 5:10) ʻI he ʻaho hoko maí, ʻoku nau kamata ke kai ai ʻa e fua ʻo e fonuá, pea ʻoku ngata ai ʻa e tokonaki mai ʻo e maná. Lolotonga ʻa e taimi ko ení, ʻoku kamu ai ʻe Siosiua ʻa e fānau tangata kotoa pē naʻe fanauʻi ʻi he toafá.
Tali ki he Ngaahi Fehuʻi Fakatohitapú:
2:4, 5—Ko e hā ʻoku takihalaʻi ai ʻe Lēhapi ʻa e kau tangata ʻa e tuʻí ʻa ia ʻoku nau kumi ʻa e ongo asiasí? ʻOku maluʻi ʻe Lēhapi ʻa e ongo asiasí ʻi he fakatuʻutāmaki ki heʻene moʻuí koeʻuhi naʻá ne hoko ʻo tui kia Sihova. Ko ia ai, ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻi he malumalu ai ʻo ha fatongia ke fakahā ʻa e feituʻu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ongo asiasí ki he kau tangata ʻoku nau kumi ke fai ha maumau ki he kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Mātiu 7:6; 21:23-27; Sione 7:3-10) Ko hono moʻoní, ko Lēhapí naʻe ‘fakatonuhia ʻe he ngaahi ngaué,’ ʻo kau ai ʻa e ngāue ko hono takihalaʻi ʻa e kau fakafofonga ʻo e tuʻí.—Semisi 2:24-26.
5:14, 15—Ko hai ʻa e “Kapiteni ʻo e Tau ʻa Sihova”? Ko e kapiteni ʻoku haʻu ke fakaivimālohiʻi ʻa Siosiua ʻi he kamata ke ikunaʻi ʻa e Fonua ʻo e Talaʻofá ʻoku ngalingali ʻoku ʻikai ko ha toe taha ka ko “Folofola”—ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi heʻene moʻui ki muʻa ke hoko ko ha tangatá. (Sione 1:1; Taniela 10:13) He fakaivimālohi ē ke maʻu ʻa e fakafiemālie ko Sīsū Kalaisi kuo fakalāngilangiʻí ʻokú ne kau mo e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá he ʻahó ni ʻi heʻenau kau ʻi he tau fakalaumālié!

1:11. ʻOku kole ʻa Siosiua ki he kakaí ke nau tokonaki ha ngaahi ʻoho ʻo ʻikai tatali fakapikopiko ki he ʻOtuá ke ne tokonaki mai ia maʻanautolu. Ko e ekinaki ʻa Sīsū ke ʻoua ʻe loto-moʻua fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fiemaʻu ki he moʻuí, fakataha mo ʻene talaʻofa “ʻe ʻatu mo ia foki ʻa e ngāhi meʻa ko ia kotoa,” ʻoku ʻikai ʻuhinga iá ʻoku totonu ke ʻoua te tau fai ha ngaahi ngāue ke tokoniʻi ʻaki kitautolu.—Mātiu 6:25, 33.

Kapau kuó ke ako ʻi ha taimi ʻa e Tohi Tapú pea ʻiloʻi ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi he “kuonga fakamui,” ʻikai ʻoku totonu ke ke fai ha fili ke tauhi ki he ʻOtuá?—2 Timote 3:1.
3:15. Koeʻuhi ko e lelei ʻa e līpooti ʻa e ongo asiasi naʻe fekauʻi ki Sielikoó, ʻoku ngāue vave ʻa Siosiua, ʻo ʻikai tatali ke maha hifo ʻa e ngaahi vai ʻo Sioataní. ʻI heʻene hoko mai ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻoku kau ki he lotu moʻoní, kuo pau ke tau ngāue loto-toʻa ʻo ʻikai tatali kae ʻoua ke toki hā ngali feʻungamālie ange ʻa e ngaahi tuʻungá.

HOKO ATU ʻA E IKUNÁ
Ko e kolo ko Sielikoó ʻoku “tabuni mau . . . nae ikai hu kitua ha toko taha, be hu ha toko taha ki loto.” (Siosiua 6:1, PM) ʻE anga-fēfē hano hamu ʻa e koló? ʻOku ʻoange ʻe Sihova kia Siosiua ʻa e palani. ʻOku vave ʻa e holofa hifo ʻa e ngaahi ʻaá pea ʻoku fakaʻauha ʻa e koló. Ko Lēhapi pē mo hono falé ʻoku fakahaofí.
Ko e ikuna hokó ko e kolo fakatuʻi ko ʻAí. Ko e kau asiasi ʻoku fekauʻi ki aí ʻoku nau līpooti ko e koló ʻoku tokosiʻi pē ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nofo aí, ko ia ai, ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ha kau tangata tokolahi ke taaʻi hifo ia. Kae kehe, ko e kau sōtia ʻe toko 3,000 nai naʻe fekauʻi atu ke ʻohofi ʻa e koló naʻa nau tuku hola mei he kau tangata ʻo ʻAí. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? ʻOku ʻikai kau ʻa Sihova mo e kau ʻIsilelí. Ko ʻĀkani ʻo e matakali ʻo Siutá naʻá ne faiangahala lolotonga hono ʻohofi ʻo Sielikoó. Hili hono fakaleleiʻi ʻa e meʻá, ʻoku ʻalu atu ʻa Siosiua ki ʻAi. ʻI hono ikunaʻi ki muʻa ʻa ʻIsilelí, ʻoku vēkeveke ʻa e tuʻi ʻo ʻAí ke fetaulaki mo kinautolu ʻi he taú. Ka ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe Siosiua ha palani ʻo ngāueleleiʻaki ai ʻa e falala tōtuʻa ʻa e kau tangata ʻo ʻAí, pea naʻe hamu ʻe Siosiua ʻa e koló.
Ko Kipioné ‘ko e kolo lahi—naʻe lahi ia ʻi Ai, pea ko e kau toʻa hono kakai fulipe.’ (Siosiua 10:2) Kae kehe, ʻi he fanongo ki he lavameʻa ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Sielikō mo ʻAí, ʻoku kākaaʻi ʻe he kau tangata Kipioné ʻa Siosiua ʻi hono fai ha fuakava ʻo e melino mo kinautolu. ʻOku vakai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga takatakaí ki he mavahe ko ení ko ha fakamanamana ia kia kinautolu. ʻOku faʻu ʻe he toko nima ʻo honau ngaahi tuʻí ha faʻahi pea ʻohofi ʻa Kipione. ʻOku fakahaofi ʻe ʻIsileli ʻa e kau Kipioné pea ikunaʻi fakaʻāuliliki ʻa e kau ʻohofí. Ko e ngaahi ikuna kehe ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he malumalu ʻo e tuʻunga taki ʻa Siosiuá ʻoku kau ai ʻa e ngaahi kolo ʻi he tongá mo e hihifó, pea pehē ki he ikunaʻi ʻo e fakatahataha ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he tokelaú. Ko e ngaahi tuʻi kotoa naʻe ikunaʻi ʻi he hihifo ʻo Sioataní ko e toko 31 fakakātoa.

(Senesi 18:14) Kapau ʻokú ne fili ke fai ia, ʻe lava ke puleʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaʻunu ʻa e foʻi māmaní ʻo hā ngali ʻikai ngaue ai ʻa e laʻaá mo e māhiná ki ha tokotaha mamata ʻi he māmaní.
