HOKO ʻO ANGA-FAKANĀNĀ

(Pal. 11:2) ʻOku ueʻi ia ʻe he anga-fakanānaá ke feʻunuʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne ʻamanekiná ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻoku lava ke ne faí.

(2 Sām. 19:35-37) Hangē ko Pāsiliaí, ʻoku fiefia ʻa e kau tangata taʻumotuʻá ke ʻoange ʻa e ngāué ke fai ʻe he kau talavoú.

Naʻe tali ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita ʻa e fili ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻe langa ʻe hono fohá ʻa e temipalé (Sio ki he palakalafi 8)

8. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita ʻa e anga-fakanānaá ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e langa ʻo e temipalé?

8 Naʻe fokotuʻu foki ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ʻaupito ʻo e anga-fakanānaá. Naʻá ne fakaʻamu ʻaki hono lotó kotoa ke langa ha fale moʻo Sihova. Ka ʻi hono fakahā ʻe Sihova kia Tēvita ko e monū ko ení ʻe ʻoange ki he kiʻi talavou ko Solomoné, naʻá ne tali ʻa e fili ʻa Sihová pea poupou ʻaufuatō ki he ngāue langá. (1 Kal. 17:4; 22:5) Naʻe ʻikai ke ongoʻi ʻe Tēvita ko ia ʻa e tokotaha lelei ange ki he ngāue ko iá koeʻuhi naʻe “kei siʻi mo taʻetaukei” ʻa Solomone. (1 Kal. 29:1) Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Tēvita ko e lavameʻa ʻa e ngāue langá naʻe fakatuʻunga ia ʻi he tāpuaki ʻa Sihová, ʻo ʻikai ʻi he taʻumotuʻa pe taukei ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku takimuʻá. ʻI he faʻifaʻitaki kia Tēvitá, ko e kau taʻumotuʻa ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻoku nau nofoʻaki longomoʻui naʻa mo e taimi ʻoku liliu ai honau fatongiá. Pea ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga kei siʻi ʻoku nau fai ʻa e ngāue naʻa nau fai ki muʻá.

9. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe ha mēmipa ʻo ha Kōmiti Vaʻa ʻa e anga-fakanānaá?

9 Ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻi onopooni ʻo e anga-fakanānaá ko ha tokoua ko Shigeo. ʻI he 1976, ʻi heʻene taʻu 30, naʻe fakanofo ia ke ngāue ʻi ha Kōmiti Vaʻa. ʻI he 2004 naʻá ne hoko ko e sea ʻo e Kōmiti Vaʻá. Ki mui ai naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuó ne aʻu ki he ngataʻanga hono mālohi fakaesinó pea naʻe ʻikai kei lava ke ne fakahoko vave ʻa e ngāué. Naʻá ne fakakaukau ʻi he faʻa lotu ki he ʻaonga hono fua ʻe ha tokoua kei talavou ʻa e ngaahi fatongiá. Neongo ʻoku ʻikai ke kei hoko ʻa Shigeo ko e sea, ʻokú ne kei ngāue fakataha pē mo e kau mēmipa ʻo e Kōmiti Vaʻá. Hangē ko ia naʻa tau vakai ki ai ʻi he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Pāsiliai, Tuʻi Tēvita mo Shigeo, ko ha tokotaha ʻoku anga-fakatōkilalo mo anga-fakanānā te ne tokangataha ki he mālohi ʻo e faʻahinga kei siʻí kae ʻikai ko ʻenau taʻetaukeí. Te ne vakai kiate kinautolu ko ha kaungāngāue kae ʻikai ko ha faʻahinga ke feʻauʻauhi mo ia.​—Pal. 20:29.

HOKO ʻO HOUNGAʻIA

10. Ko e hā ʻa e vakai ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kau taʻumotuʻá ki he faʻahinga kei siʻi ʻi he fakatahaʻangá?

10 Ko e kau taʻumotuʻá ʻoku nau vakai ki he faʻahinga kei siʻí ko ha meʻaʻofa meia Sihova ʻa ia ʻoku nau houngaʻia ai. ʻI he holo ʻa e ivi ʻo e kau taʻumotuʻá, ʻoku nau fakamālōʻiaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e mālohi fakatalavoú ʻi heʻenau loto-lelei mo malava ke fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻú pea ngāue ʻi he fakatahaʻangá.

11. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakatātaaʻi ʻi he Lute 4:13-16 ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻi hono tali loto-houngaʻia ʻa e tokoni mei ha tokotaha kei siʻi?

Kae kehe, ʻi he vilitaki ʻa Lute ke foki mo Nāomi ki Pētelihemá, naʻá ne tali ʻa e poupou mateaki ʻa Luté. (Lute 1:7, 8, 18) Pea he tāpuaki ē ki he ongo fefiné fakatouʻosi! (Lau ʻa e Lute 4:13-16.) Ko e anga-fakatōkilaló te ne ueʻi ʻa e kau taʻumotuʻá ke nau muimui ʻi he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Nāomí.

12. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻene houngaʻiá?

12 Ko e ʻapositolo ko Paulá naʻá ne houngaʻia ʻi he tokoni naʻá ne maʻú. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻá ne fakamālō ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻi Filipaí ki he ngaahi meʻaʻofa fakamatelie naʻa nau ʻoange kiate iá. (Fil. 4:16) Naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ʻa e houngaʻia ʻi he tokoni naʻe fai ʻe Tīmote kiate iá. (Fil. 2:19-22) Pea naʻe fakamālō ʻa Paula ki he ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ko e faʻahinga naʻa nau omi ke fakalototoʻaʻi ia ʻi hono fakafolau ia ki Loma ko ha pōpulá. (Ngā. 28:15) Ko Paulá ko ha tokotaha longomoʻui naʻá ne fononga ʻi he maile ʻe laui afe ke malanga mo fakaivimālohiʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakatahaʻangá. Neongo ia, naʻá ne anga-fakatōkilalo ʻo tali ʻa e poupou mei hono fanga tokouá mo e fanga tuofāfiné.

13. ʻE lava fēfē ke fakahāhā ʻe he kau taʻumotuʻá ʻenau houngaʻia ʻi he faʻahinga kei siʻí?
