“Sinoemeʻa Ke Mou Tauhi Ai Pe Hoʻomou Feʻofaʻaki ke Tukuingata”

“Kuo panaki ʻa e ngataʻanga ʻo e meʻa kotoa pe: . . . Sinoemeʻa ke mou tauhi ai pe hoʻomou feʻofaʻaki ke tukuingata.”—1 PITA 4:7, 8.

 NAʻE ʻiloʻi ʻe Sīsū naʻe mahuʻinga ʻa hono ngaahi houa fakaʻosi mo ʻene kau ʻapositoló. Naʻá ne lāuʻilo ki he meʻa naʻe tatali mei muʻa kia kinautolú. Naʻe ʻi ai ʻenau ngāue lahi ke fakahoko, ka ʻe fehiʻanekinaʻi mo fakatangaʻi kinautolu, ʻo hangē pē ko iá. (Sione 15:18-​20) Laka hake he tuʻo tahá ʻi honau pō fakaʻosi ko iá, naʻá ne fakamanatu ai kia kinautolu ʻa e fiemaʻu ke “feʻofaʻaki.”​—Sione 13:34, 35; 15:12, 13, 17.

² Ko e ʻapositolo ko Pitá, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he pō ko iá, naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e poiní. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu ki mui aí, ʻi heʻene tohi ki muʻa siʻi ke fakaʻauha ʻa Selusalemá, naʻe fakamamafaʻi ai ʻe Pita ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e ʻofá. Naʻá ne akonaki ki he kau Kalisitiané: “Kuo panaki ʻa e ngataʻanga ʻo e meʻa kotoa pe: . . . Sinoemeʻa ke mou tauhi ai pe hoʻomou feʻofaʻaki ke tukuingata.” (1 Pita 4:7, 8) Ko e ngaahi lea ʻa Pitá ʻoku mahuʻinga hono ʻuhingá ki he faʻahinga ʻoku moʻui he lolotonga ʻa e “kuonga fakamui” ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu ko eni ʻo e ngaahi meʻa lolotongá. (2 Timote 3:1) Ko e hā ʻa e ‘ʻofa tukuingatá’? Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ke tau maʻu ʻa e ʻofa pehē ki he niʻihi kehé? Pea ʻe lava fēfē ke tau fakahāhā ʻoku tau maʻu ia?

‘ʻOfa Tukuingata’—Ko e Hā Ia?

³ ʻOku fakakaukau ʻa e tokolahi ki he ʻofá ko ha ongoʻi ʻa ia kuo pau ke hoko fakanatula. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke talanoa ʻa Pitá ʻo fekauʻaki mo ha faʻahinga ʻofa pē; naʻá ne lea ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻofá ʻi hono tuʻunga tuʻu-ki-muʻa tahá. Ko e foʻi lea “ʻofa” ʻi he 1 Pita 4:8 ko ha liliu ia ʻo e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ko e a·gaʹpe. Ko e foʻi lea ko iá ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ko e ʻofa taʻesiokita ʻa ia ʻoku tataki, pe puleʻi, ʻe he tefitoʻi moʻoni. ʻOku pehē ʻe ha tohi maʻuʻanga fakamatala ʻe taha: “Ko e ʻofa agape ʻoku malava ke fekauʻi ia koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ongo tefito ia ka ko ha fili ʻi he fakapapau ʻoku taki atu ki he ngāue.” Koeʻuhi ʻoku tau maʻu ha hehema tukufakaholo ki he siokitá, ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakamanatu ke fakahaaʻi ʻa e feʻofaʻakí, ʻo fai ia ʻi he ngaahi founga ʻoku tataki ʻe he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni fakaʻotuá.​—Senesi 8:21; Loma 5:12.

⁴ ʻOku ʻikai pehē ia ai kuo pau ke tau feʻofaʻaki ʻi ha ongoʻi pē ko e fatongia. Ko e a·gaʹpe ʻoku ʻikai ke hala ia ʻi he māfana mo e ongoʻi. Naʻe pehē ʻe Pita kuo pau ke tau maʻu ʻa e ‘feʻofaʻaki tukuingata [fakafoʻileá, “mafao atu”].’ a (Kingdom Interlinear) Neongo ia, ko e ʻofa ko iá ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ai ʻa e feinga. Fekauʻaki mo e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ʻoku fakalea ko e “tukuingata,” ʻoku pehē ʻe he mataotao ʻe taha: “ʻOku fakatātaaʻi ai ʻa e ʻīmisi ʻo ha uoua mafao ʻo ha tokotaha ʻatelita ʻi heʻene feinga ʻaki ʻa e kiʻi meʻi ivi fakaʻosí ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo ha lova.”

⁵ Ko ʻetau ʻofá leva, kuo pau ke ʻoua ʻe fakangatangata pē ki hono fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku faingofuá pe fakangatangata ki ha niʻihi siʻi pē kuo filifili. Ko e ʻofa faka-Kalisitiané ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke “mafao atu” hotau lotó, ʻo fakaaʻu atu ʻa e ʻofá naʻa mo e ʻi he taimi ʻoku faingataʻa nai ai ke fai peheé. (2 Kolinito 6:11-​13) ʻOku hā mahino, ko e faʻahinga ʻofa ko ení ko e meʻa ia ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fakatupulekina pea ngāue ki ai, ʻo hangē tofu pē ko e pau ki ha tokotaha ʻatelita ke ne ako pea ngāue ke fakaleleiʻi ʻa ʻene ngaahi pōtoʻí. ʻOku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ke tau maʻu ʻa e feʻofaʻaki ko iá. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? ʻI ha ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻikai siʻi hifo he tolú.

 Ko e Hā ʻOku Totonu Ai Ke Tau Feʻofaʻakí?

⁶ ʻUluakí, “he ko ʻofa ko e tupu mei he ʻOtua ia.” (1 Sione 4:7) Ko Sihova, ʻa e Tupuʻanga ʻo e ʻulungāanga ʻofeina ko ení, naʻá ne tomuʻa ʻofa ʻia kitautolu. ʻOku pehē ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Sioné: “Ko eni ia ʻa e meʻa kuo fakaha ai ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtua ʻiate kitautolu, ʻa e fekau atu ki mamani ʻe he ʻOtua hono ʻAlo tofu-pe-taha-ne-fakatupu, koeʻuhi ke tau moʻui ʻiate ia.” (1 Sione 4:9) Ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá naʻe “fekau” mai, ʻaki ʻene hoko ko ha tangata, ʻi hono fakahoko ʻa ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú, pea ʻi heʻene pekia ʻi ha ʻakau fakamamahi—ʻo fai kotoa iá koeʻuhi “ke tau moʻui.” ʻOku totonu ke fēfē ʻetau tali ki he fakahāhā taupotu ko eni ʻo e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sione: “Kapau leva naʻe pehe ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtua kiate kitautolu, pea ko kitautolu foki ʻoku totonu ke tau feʻofaʻaki.” (1 Sione 4:11) Fakatokangaʻi ʻoku tohi ʻe Sione, “Kapau leva naʻe pehe ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtua kiate kitautolu”—ʻikai ko e koe pē ka ko kitautolu. ʻOku mahino ʻa e poiní: Kapau ʻoku ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hotau ngaahi kaungālotú, tā ʻoku totonu leva ke tau ʻofa foki kia kinautolu.

⁷ Uá, ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga tautefito ke tau feʻofaʻaki lahi ange he taimí ni koeʻuhi ke fakaaʻu atu ʻa e tokoni ki hotau fanga tokoua masivá koeʻuhi “kuo panaki ʻa e ngataʻanga ʻo e meʻa kotoa pe.” (1 Pita 4:7) ʻOku tau moʻui ʻi he “ngaahi taimi faingataʻa.” (2 Timote 3:1) Ko e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e māmaní, ngaahi fakatamaki fakanatulá, mo e fakafepakí ʻoku ʻomai ai ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa kia kitautolu. ʻI he malumalu ʻo e ngaahi tuʻunga faingataʻá, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau ʻunuʻunu ai ke toe vāofi ange fakaekitautolu. Ko e ʻofa tūkuingatá te ne fakafāʻūtahaʻi kitautolu pea ueʻi kitautolu ke tau “fetokangaʻaki.”​—1 Kolinito 12:25, 26.

⁸ Tolú, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau feʻofaʻaki koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai te tau loto ke “tuku ha ava ki he Tevolo” ke ne ngāueʻaki kitautolu. (Efeso 4:27) ʻOku vave ʻa Sētane ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi taʻehaohaoa ʻa e kaungātuí—ʻa honau ngaahi vaivaiʻangá, ngaahi tōnounoú, mo e ngaahi fehālaakí⁠—ko e ngaahi maka tūkiaʻanga. ʻE fakatupunga ʻe ha lea taʻefakakaukau pe ko ha tōʻonga taʻeʻofa ke tau mavahe ai mei he fakatahaʻangá? (Palovepi 12:18) ʻE ʻikai ʻo kapau ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e feʻofaʻaki tūkuingatá! Ko e ʻofa ko iá ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tauhi maʻu ʻa e melinó pea ngāue fāʻūtaha ke tauhi ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he “uouangataha.”—Sefanaia 3:9.

⁹ Ko hono fakahāhā ʻo e ʻofá kuo pau ke kamata ia ʻi ʻapi. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ko hono kau muimui moʻoní ʻe fakaʻilongaʻi kinautolu ʻe he feʻofaʻaki ʻoku nau maʻú. (Sione 13:34, 35) Ko e ʻofá kuo pau ke hā mahino ia ʻo ʻikai ʻi he fakatahaʻangá pē kae toe pehē foki ʻi he fāmilí—ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ngaahi hoa malí pea ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ngaahi mātuʻá mo e fānaú. ʻOku ʻikai feʻunga ke ongoʻi ʻofa pē ki he ngaahi mēmipa ʻi he fāmilí; ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fakahāhā ia ʻi he ngaahi founga pau.

¹⁰ ʻE lava fēfē ke fakahāhā ʻe he ngaahi hoa malí ʻa e feʻofaʻakí? Ko ha husepāniti ʻoku ʻofa moʻoni ʻi hono uaifí ʻokú ne ʻai ke ne ʻiloʻi ia ʻi heʻene ngaahi leá mo e ngaahi ngāué—ʻi he feituʻu kakaí pea ʻia kinaua pē⁠—ʻokú ne koloaʻaki ia. ʻOkú ne tokaʻi ʻa hono ngeia fakafoʻituituí pea fakaʻatuʻi ki heʻene ngaahi fakakaukaú, vakaí pea mo e ongoʻí. (1 Pita 3:7) ʻOkú ne fakamuʻomuʻa ʻa ʻene leleí ʻi haʻaná, pea ʻokú ne fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻokú ne malavá ke tokangaʻi ai ʻa ʻene ngaahi fiemaʻu fakamatelié, fakalaumālié mo fakaeongó. (Efeso 5:25, 28) Ko ha uaifi ʻoku ʻofa moʻoni ʻi hono husepānití ʻokú ne fai kiate ia ʻa e “fakaʻapaʻapa [loloto],” tatau ai pē kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ne aʻusia ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ʻa ʻene ngaahi ʻamanakí. (Efeso 5:22, 33) ʻOkú ne poupou ki hono hoá pea anganofo kiate ia, ʻo ʻikai fai ha ngaahi kouna taʻefakaʻatuʻi, kae ngāue fāitaha mo ia ʻi hono tauhi maʻu ʻa e tokangá ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālié.​—Senesi 2:18; Mātiu 6:33.

¹¹ Ngaahi mātuʻa, ʻe lava fēfē ke mou fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofá ki hoʻomou fānaú? Ko hoʻomou loto-lelei  ke ngāue mālohi ke tokonaki fakamatelie kia kinautolú ko e fakamoʻoni ia ʻo hoʻomou ʻofá. (1 Timote 5:8) Ka ʻoku fiemaʻu ki he fānaú ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ia ʻi he meʻakaí, valá mo e maluʻangá. Kapau ʻoku fiemaʻu ke nau tupu hake ʻo ʻofa pea tauhi ki he ʻOtua moʻoní, ʻoku fiemaʻu kiate kinautolu ʻa e akoʻi fakalaumālie. (Palovepi 22:6) ʻOku ʻuhinga iá ko hono vaheʻi ʻa e taimi ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha fāmilí ke ako ai ʻa e Tohi Tapú, kau ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú, pea maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané. (Teutalonome 6:4-7) Ko e tuʻumaʻu ʻi he ngaahi ngāue peheé ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ai ʻa e feilaulau lahi, tautefito ʻi he ngaahi taimi faingataʻa ko ení. Ko hoʻo tokanga mo hoʻo ngaahi feinga ke tokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu fakalaumālie ʻa hoʻo fānaú ko ha fakahāhā ia ʻo e ʻofá, he ʻokú ke fakahaaʻi ai ʻokú ke mahuʻingaʻia ʻi heʻenau lelei taʻengatá.​—Sione 17:3.

¹² ʻOku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻa hono toe fakahāhā ʻe he ngaahi mātuʻá ʻa e ʻofá ʻaki hono tokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu fakaeongo ʻa ʻenau fānaú. Ko e fānaú ʻoku uesiangofua kinautolu; ko honau loto maongongofuá ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ai ʻa hono fakapapauʻi ʻa hoʻomou ʻofá. Tala ange ʻoku mou ʻofa ʻia kinautolu, pea fai kia kinautolu ʻa e ʻofa lahi, he ko e ngaahi fakahāhā peheé ʻoku fakapapauʻi ai kia kinautolu ʻoku ʻofaʻi kinautolu pea ʻoku ʻi ai honau mahuʻinga. Fai kia kinautolu ha fakaongoongolelei loto-māfana mo moʻoni, he ʻoku ʻai ai ke nau ʻiloʻi ʻoku mou sio ʻo fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻenau ngaahi feingá. Akonekina kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e ʻofá, he ko e fakatonutonu peheé ʻoku tala ai kia kinautolu ʻoku mou tokanga fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga tokotaha te nau iku ki aí. (Efeso 6:4) Ko e ngaahi fakahāhā lelei kotoa ko ia ʻo e ʻofá ʻoku tokoni ia ke langa hake ai ha fāmili fiefia mo fepoupouaki ʻa ia ʻoku mateuteu lelei ange ke ne talitekeʻi ʻa e ngaahi tenge ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí ni.

¹³ ʻOku ueʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻofá ke tukunoaʻi ʻa e ngaahi tōnounou ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Manatuʻi ʻi he taimi naʻá ne ekinaki ai ki heʻene kau lautohí ke “tauhi ai pe hoʻomou feʻofaʻaki ke tukuingata,” naʻe ʻomai ai ʻe Pita ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ai ení: “He ko e ʻofa ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ha fufuʻunga angahala.” (1 Pita 4:8) Ke “ʻufiʻufi” ʻa e ngaahi angahalá ʻoku ʻikai ʻuhinga iá ‘ke ʻufiʻufiʻi’ ai ʻa e ngaahi angahala mamafá. Ko e ngaahi meʻa peheé ʻoku līpooti totonu ia ki he faʻahinga fua fatongia ʻi he fakatahaʻangá pea ʻoku nau ngāue ki aí. (Livitiko 5:1; Palovepi 29:24) ʻE mātuʻaki taʻeʻofa—pea taʻefakatohitapu⁠—ke fakaʻatā ʻa e kau faiangahala mamafá ke hokohoko atu ʻenau fakamamahiʻi mo ngaohikoviʻi ʻa e faʻahinga taʻehalaiá.​—1 Kolinito 5:9-​13.

(Semisi 3:2) ʻOku totonu ke tau fakavave ke ʻai ke ʻiloa ʻa e ngaahi tōnounou ʻa e niʻihi kehé? Ko ha ʻalunga pehē ʻe hoko pē ia ʻo fakatupunga ai ʻa e ngaahi fetēleni ʻi he fakatahaʻangá. (Efeso 4:1-3) Kapau ʻoku puleʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻofá, ʻe ʻikai te tau “fakahā ha tōnounou” ʻa ha kaungālotu. (Sāme 50:20, NW) Hangē pē ko hono ʻufiʻufi ʻe he palasitaá mo e valí ʻa e ngaahi konga luoluo ʻo ha holisí, ʻoku pehē pē hono ʻufiʻufi ʻe he ʻofá ʻa e ngaahi taʻehaohaoa ʻa e niʻihi kehé.​—Palovepi 17:9.

(1 Sione 3:17, 18) Ko e fakatātaá, kuo tofanga ha mēmipa ʻo ʻetau fakatahaʻangá ʻi ha faingataʻaʻia lahi fakapaʻanga pe ko e mole ha ngāue? Mahalo pē ʻe lava ke tau ʻoatu ha tokoni fakamatelie, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻoku fakaʻatā ʻi hotau ngaahi tuʻungá. (Palovepi 3:27, 28; Semisi 2:14-​17) ʻOku fiemaʻu ke fai ha monomono ki ha ʻapi ʻo ha uitou taʻumotuʻa? Mahalo pē ʻe lava ke tau tamuʻomuʻa ʻi he tuʻunga totonu ke tokoni ʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e ngāué.​—Semisi 1:27.
