1. Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa ʻa Sihova ki he fokotuʻutuʻu fakafāmilí?

 ʻI HE taimi naʻe fakatahaʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ʻi he nofo malí, naʻe fakahāhā ʻe ʻĀtama ʻa ʻene fiefiá ʻaki ʻene leaʻaki ʻa e fuofua maau faka-Hepelū naʻe lēkōtí. (Senesi 2:​22, 23) Kae kehe, naʻe lahi ange ʻa e meʻa naʻe ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa e Tokotaha-Fakatupú ʻi hono ʻomai pē ʻa e fiefia ki heʻene fānau fakaetangatá. Naʻá ne fiemaʻu ʻa e ngaahi hoa malí mo e ngaahi fāmilí ke nau fai hono finangaló. Naʻá ne folofola ki he ʻuluaki ongo meʻá: “Mo fakatupu, mo fakatokolahi, mo fakafonu ʻa mamani, pea ikuna ia: pea mo pule ki he ika ʻo e tahi, mo e manupuna ʻo e langi, pea mo e meʻa moʻui kotoa pe ʻoku totolo ʻi he fonua.” (Senesi 1:28) Ko ha vāhenga-ngāue maʻongoʻonga, mo fakafiemālie moʻoni ē ko ia! He fiefia ē naʻá na mei ʻi ai mo ʻena fānau he kahaʻú kapau naʻe fai ʻe ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he talangofua kakato!

2, 3. ʻE lava fēfē ke maʻu ʻe he ngaahi fāmilí ʻa e fiefia lahi tahá ʻi he ʻahó ni?

Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Ko e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē, he ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e talaʻofa ki he moʻui he taimi ní pea mo ia ka hoko maí.” (1 Timote 4:​8, NW) Ko ha fāmili ʻoku moʻuiʻaki ai ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá pea ʻoku muimui ki he tataki ʻa Sihova hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻi he Tohitapú te ne maʻu ʻa e fiefia ʻi he “moʻui he taimi ní.” (Sāme 1:​1-3; 119:105; 2 Timote 3:​16) Neongo kapau ko ha mēmipa pē ʻe toko taha ʻo ha fāmili ʻokú ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni faka-Tohitapú, ʻoku lelei ange ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ia ʻi he ʻikai ha tahá.

³ Kuo lāulea ʻa e tohí ni ki he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni faka-Tohitapu lahi ʻa ia ʻoku tokoni ke maʻu ha fāmili fiefiá.  Ngalingali kuó ke fakatokangaʻi ko e niʻihi ʻo kinautolu ʻoku nau toutou hā ʻi he kotoa ʻo e tohí.

Ko ha fāmili ʻoku feinga ke ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni faka-Tohitapu ko ení ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi ko e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá ʻoku moʻoni ʻokú ne ‘ʻomai ʻa e talaʻofa ki he moʻui he taimi ní.’ Tau toe sio angé ki he fā ʻo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni mahuʻinga ko iá.

Ko e tukulolo ki he ngaahi ongo fakatupu ʻauhá, hangē ko e ʻitá pe holi taʻetaau fakalusá, te ne fakatupunga ʻa e maumau ʻoku fiemaʻu ke fakaleleiʻi ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu—kapau ʻe lava ke fai hano fakaleleiʻi.

5. ʻE lava fēfē ke fakatupulekina ʻe ha tangata taʻehaohaoa ʻa e mapuleʻi-kitá, pea ko e hā ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaongá?

⁵ Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ha hako ʻo ʻĀtama ʻe lava ke ne mapuleʻi kakato ʻa hono kakano taʻehaohaoá. (Loma 7:​21, 22) Neongo ia, ko e mapuleʻi-kitá ko ha fua ia ʻo e laumālié. (Kaletia 5:​22, 23) Ko ia ai, ʻe fakatupu ʻe he laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa e mapuleʻi-kitá ʻiate kitautolu kapau ʻoku tau lotu ki he ʻulungaanga ko ení, kapau ʻoku tau ngāueʻaki ʻa e akonaki feʻungamālie ʻa ia ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú, pea kapau ʻoku tau feohi mo e niʻihi kehe ʻa ia ʻoku nau fakahāhā iá pea fakaʻehiʻehi mei he faʻahinga ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakahāhā iá. (Sāme 119:​100, 101, 130; Palovepi 13:20; 1 Pita 4:7) ʻE tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe ha ʻalunga pehē ke “hola pe mei he fai feʻauaki,” naʻa mo e ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakataueleʻi ai kitautolú.

Pea te tau feangai anga-mokomoko lahi ange ai mo e ngaahi tuʻunga fakalanga-ʻita mo faingataʻá. ʻOfa ke hoko ʻa e tokotaha  kotoa—kau ai ʻa e fānaú—ʻi he ako ke fakatupulekina ʻa e fua mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ko eni ʻo e laumālié.​—Sāme 119:​1, 2.

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu totonu ʻo e ngaahi meʻá ʻi heʻene pehē: “ʻOku ou loto ke mou ʻilo, ko e ʻulu ʻo e tangata kotoa pe ko Kalaisi; pea ko e ʻulu ʻo e fefine ko e tangata; pea ko e ʻulu ʻo Kalaisi ko e ʻOtua.” (1 Kolinito 11:3) ʻOku ʻuhinga ení ke takimuʻa ʻa e tangatá ʻi he fāmilí, ʻoku poupou mateaki ki ai ʻa hono uaifí, pea talangofua ʻa e fānaú ki heʻenau ngaahi mātuʻá. (Efeso 5:​22-​25, 28-​33; 6:​1-4) Neongo ia, fakatokangaʻi, ʻe iku pē ʻa e tuʻunga-ʻulú ki he fiefiá ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakahoko ai ʻi ha founga totonú. Ko e ngaahi husepāniti ʻoku nau moʻuiʻaki ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ko e tuʻunga-ʻulú ke ʻoua ʻe fakaaoao. ʻOku nau faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū, ko honau ʻUlú. Neongo ko Sīsū naʻe pau ke “ʻulu . . . ʻi he meʻa kotoa pe,” naʻe “ʻikai te ne haʻu ke maʻu sevaniti, ka ke sevaniti pe ʻe ia.” (Efeso 1:​22; Mātiu 20:28) ʻI ha founga meimei tatau, ʻoku ngāueʻi ʻe ha tangata Kalisitiane ʻa e tuʻunga-ʻulú, ʻo ʻikai koeʻuhí pē ke ʻaonga kiate ia tonu, ka ke tokanga ai ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻa hono uaifí pea mo e fānaú.​—1 Kolinito 13:​4, 5.

(Senesi 20:​3, NW) Fakafou ʻi he nofo malí ʻokú ne hoko ai ʻo ʻi he malumalu ʻo e “lao ʻo e husepaniti.” (Loma 7:2) ʻI he taimi tatau, ʻoku ui ia ʻe he Tohitapú ko ha “tokoni” mo ha “fakakakato.” (Senesi 2:​20, NW) ʻOkú ne ʻomai ʻa e ngaahi anga mo e ngaahi  malava ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe hono husepānití, pea ʻokú ne fai kiate ia ʻa e poupou ʻoku fiemaʻú. (Palovepi 31:​10-​31) ʻOku toe pehē ʻe he Tohitapú ko e uaifí ko ha “hoa,” ko ha taha ʻoku ngāue fāitaha mo hono hoa malí.

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ia ʻe he ākonga ko Sēmisí ʻo peheni: “Ke vave ʻa e tangata fuape he fanongo, kae fakatotoka ki he lea.”—Semisi 1:19.

Ka ʻoku toe mahuʻinga lahi ange ʻa e ʻofa ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ko e a·gaʹpe. Ko e ʻofa eni ʻoku tau fakatupulekina kia Sihova, kia Sīsū, pea ki hotau kaungāʻapí.

(Fakahā 5:​9, 10; 14:​1, 4; 21:​3-5; 22:​1-4) Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi monū lahi taha ʻoku tau maʻu he ʻaho ní ko hono tala ʻa e ongoongo  lelei lāngilangiʻia ko ení ki hotau ngaahi kaungāʻapí.​—Mātiu 24:14.

18. Ko e hā ʻa e fakamanatu pea ko e hā ʻa e fakalototoʻa ʻoku fai fakatouʻosi ki he ngaahi fāmilí pea ki he faʻahinga tāutaha?

¹⁸ Hangē ko ia naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá, ko e moʻuiʻaki ha moʻui anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e talaʻofa ʻe malava ke maʻu ʻe he kakaí ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ko iá ʻi he moʻui “ka hoko maí.” Ko e moʻoni, ko e founga lelei taha eni ke maʻu ai ʻa e fiefiá! Manatuʻi, “ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ke mole ʻa mamani mo ʻene holi aʻana: ka ko ia ʻoku ne fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtua, ʻoku ne nofo maʻu ʻo taʻengata.” (1 Sione 2:17) Ko ia ai, tatau ai pē pe ko ha tama koe pe ko ha mātuʻa, ko ha husepāniti pe ko ha uaifi, pe ko ha tokotaha lahi teʻeki mali ʻoku ʻi ai pe ʻikai ʻi ai haʻo fānau, feinga ke fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻa mo e taimi ʻokú ke ʻi ha malumalu ai ʻo ha tenge pe fehangahangai mo e ngaahi faingataʻa lahí, ʻoua ʻaupito ʻe ngalo ko ha sevāniti koe ʻa e ʻOtua moʻuí. Ko ia ai, ʻofa ke ʻoatu ʻe hoʻo ngaahi tōʻongá ʻa e fiefia kia Sihova. (Palovepi 27:11) Pea ʻofa ke iku ʻa ho ʻulungāngá ki he fiefia kiate koe he taimí ni pea mo e moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmani foʻou ka hoko maí!
