 KO E ngaahi hala ʻo Selusalemá ʻoku fonu mo ngaʻuta ʻi he fiefiá. a ʻOku ʻalu hake ʻa e kohú mei he ʻōlita he temipalé lolotonga ia hono hivaʻi ʻe he kau Līvaí ʻa e Hālelí (ʻa ia ko e Saame 113 ki he 118), ʻo ngalingali ne nau hivaʻi fetāliaki ia. ʻOku fonu ʻa e ngaahi halá ʻi he kau ʻaʻahi maí.

Ko e Penitekosí, ʻa ia ʻoku toe ui “koe aho bolobolo oe uluaki fua.” (Nōm. 28:26PM) Ko e kātoanga fakataʻu ko ʻení ʻokú ne fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e ngataʻanga ʻo e utu-taʻu ʻo e paʻalé pea mo e kamataʻanga ʻo e utu-taʻu ʻo e uité. Ko ha ʻaho fakafiefia ia.

2. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻoku hoko ʻi he Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S.?

Fakafokifā pē, ʻoku ongo mai mei he langí ha “longoaʻa . . . ʻo hangē ko e mumuhu mai ʻa ha fuʻu matangi mālohí,” pe “uulu mai . . . o hage ha tuoni matagi malohi aubito.” (Ngā. 2:2; Paaki Motuʻa) ʻOku ongona ʻa e fuʻu longoaʻá ʻi he falé kotoa ʻa ia kuo fakatahataha ai ha kau ākonga ʻa Sīsū ʻe toko 120 nai. Ko hono hokó, ʻoku hoko ha meʻa fakaofo. ʻOku hā mai ha ngaahi uloʻi afi ʻoku hangē ha ngaahi ʻeleló, ʻo nau taki taha nofoʻia ʻa e tokotaha taki taha ʻo e kau ākongá. ʻOku hoko leva ai ʻa e kau ākongá ʻo “fonu . . . ʻi he laumālie māʻoniʻoní” pea kamata ke nau lea ʻi he ngaahi lea muli! ʻI he mavahe ʻa e kau ākongá mei he falé, ko e kau ʻaʻahi mai ko ia ʻoku nau fetaulaki mo ia ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Selusalemá ʻoku nau ofoofo, he ko ē ʻoku malava ke lea ange ʻa e kau ākongá kiate kinautolu! Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku fanongo ʻa e tokotaha taki taha kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau “lea mai ʻaki ʻa ʻenau taki taha lea.”​—Ngā. 2:1-6.

3. (a) Ko e hā ʻe lava ai ke ui ʻa e Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S. ko ha maka-maile ia ʻi he hisitōlia ʻo e lotu moʻoní? (e) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e fekauʻaki ʻa e lea ʻa Pitá pea mo hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e “ngaahi kī ʻo e Puleʻanga”?

3 Ko e fakamatala fakaueʻiloto ko ʻení ʻoku fakamatala ai ki ha maka-maile ʻi he lotu moʻoní​—ʻa ia ko hono fokotuʻu ʻa e puleʻanga ko ʻIsileli fakalaumālié, ʻa e fakatahaʻanga ʻo e kau Kalisitiane paní. (Kal. 6:16) Ka ʻoku toe ʻi ai ha meʻa lahi ange. ʻI he taimi naʻe lea ai ʻa Pita ki he fuʻu kakaí ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e ʻuluaki kī ʻo e “ngaahi kī [ʻe tolu] ʻo e Puleʻanga,” ʻa ia ko e kī taki taha te ne fakaava mai ha ngaahi monū makehe ki ha toe faʻahinga kakai kehe. (Māt. 16:18, 19) Ko e ʻuluaki kī ko ʻení naʻá ne ʻai ai ke malava ki he kau Siú mo e kau ului Siú ke nau tali ʻa e ongoongo leleí pea hoko ʻo pani ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá. c Te nau hoko ai ko ha konga ʻo ʻIsileli fakalaumālie, pea ʻi heʻene peheé, te nau maʻu ai ʻa e ʻamanaki ko e pule ko e ngaahi tuʻi mo e kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he Puleʻanga Faka-Mīsaiá. (Fkh. 5:9, 10) Faai atu pē, ʻe fakalahi atu ai ʻa e monū ko iá ʻo aʻu ki he kau Samēliá pea hoko leva ki he kau Senitailé. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke ako ʻe he kau Kalisitiane he ʻaho ní mei he ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga naʻe hoko ʻi he Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S.?

“Kātoa Pē ʻi he Feituʻu ʻe Taha” (Ngāue 2:1-4)

4. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e hoko ʻa e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiane ʻi onopōní ko ha fakalahi ia ʻo e fakatahaʻanga naʻe faʻu ʻi he 33 T.S.?

4 Ko e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané naʻe kamataʻaki ia ha kau ākonga ʻe toko 120 nai ʻa ia naʻa nau “kātoa pē ʻi he feituʻu ʻe taha”​—ko ha loki ʻi ʻolunga​—pea naʻe paniʻaki kinautolu ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní. (Ngā. 2:1) ʻI he fakaʻosinga ʻo e ʻaho ko iá, ko e kau mēmipa ʻo e fakatahaʻanga ko iá ne papitaisó naʻe laui afe honau tokolahí. Pea ko e kamataʻanga pē ia ʻo e tupu ʻo ha kautaha ʻa ia ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻene tupu lahí ʻo aʻu mai ki he ʻahó ni! ʻIo, ko ha kulupu ʻo e kakai tangata mo e kakai fefine manavahē-ʻOtua​—ʻa ia ko e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiane ʻi onopōní​—ʻoku fakafou ai ʻa e hoko ʻa e “ongoongo lelei . . . ʻo e Puleʻangá” ʻo “malangaʻi ia ʻi he kotoa ʻo e māmani kuo nofoʻí ko ha fakamoʻoni ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē” ki muʻa ke ngata ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu lolotongá ni.​—Māt. 24:14.

5. Ko e hā ʻa e tāpuaki ʻe hoko mai mei he feohi mo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané, fakatouʻosi ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí pea mo e ʻahó ni?

5 Ko e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ʻe toe hoko foki ia ko ha matavai ʻo e fakaivimālohi fakalaumālie ki hono kau mēmipá, fakatouʻosi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku kau ki he kau paní pea ki mui ai, ko e faʻahinga ʻoku kau ki he “fanga sipi kehe.” (Sione 10:16) Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Paula ʻene houngaʻia ki he fetokoniʻaki naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e fakatahaʻangá ʻi heʻene tohi ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻi Lomá: “ʻOku ou fakaʻamu ke u sio kiate kimoutolu, ke u ʻoatu ha meʻaʻofa fakalaumālie kiate kimoutolu koeʻuhi ke ʻai ai kimoutolu ke mou tuʻu mālohi; pe, ʻikai ko ia pē, ka ke tau fefakalototoʻaʻaki fakafou ʻi he tui ʻa e tokotaha taki taha, fakatouʻosi haʻamoutolú tui mo haʻakú.”​—Loma 1:11, 12.

6, 7. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakahoko ʻe he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻa e fekau naʻe tuku mai ʻe Sīsū ke malanga ki he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi puleʻangá?

6 ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku maʻu ʻe he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa tatau mo ia naʻá ne maʻu ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí. Naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá ha ngāue faingataʻa kae fakafiefia ʻaupito ke nau fakahoko. Naʻá ne tala ange kiate kinautolu: “Ngaohi ko e kau ākonga ʻa e kakai ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo papitaiso kinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo e Tamaí mo e ʻAló mo e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, pea akoʻi kinautolu ke nau tauhi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuó u fekau atu kiate kimoutolú.”​—Māt. 28:19, 20.

7 Ko e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiane ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ko e kautaha ia ʻoku fakafou ai ʻa hono fakahoko ʻo e ngāue ko iá ʻi he ʻaho ní. Ko e moʻoni, ko ha pole ia ke aʻu ki he kakai ʻo e ngaahi lea kehekehe. Ka neongo ia, kuo faʻu ʻe he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻa e fakamatala makatuʻunga ʻi he Tohi Tapú ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻoku laka hake ʻi he 1,000. Kapau ʻokú ke lolotonga feohi longomoʻui mo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané pea ʻokú ke kau ʻi he ngāue malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá mo e ngaohi-ākongá, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ʻuhinga ke ke fiefia ai. ʻOku lau koe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kiʻi tokosiʻi ʻi he māmaní ʻi he ʻahó ni ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e monū ʻo e faifakamoʻoni fakaʻāuliliki ki he huafa ʻo Sihová!

8. Ko e hā ʻa e tokoni ʻoku tau maʻu fakafou ʻi he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané?

8 Ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke kātaki fakataha mo e fiefia lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi taimi fakalilifu ko ení, kuo tokonaki mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ha feohiʻanga fakamāmanilahi ʻo e fanga tokoua. Naʻe tohi ʻa Paula ki he kau Kalisitiane Hepeluú: “Tuku ke tau fetokangaʻaki koeʻuhi ke fakaʻaiʻai ai kitautolu ki he ʻofá mo e ngaahi ngāue leleí, ʻo ʻoua ʻe liʻaki ʻa ʻetau fakataha fakatahatahá, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku angaʻaki ʻe he niʻihi, kae fefakalototoʻaʻaki, pea toe ʻāsili angé ʻi hoʻomou sio ko ia ki he fakaofiofi mai ʻa e ʻahó.” (Hep. 10:24, 25) Ko e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ko ha tokonaki ia meia Sihova koeʻuhí ke ke lava ai ʻo fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé pea toe fakalototoʻaʻi foki ai mo koe. Nofo ofi ki ho fanga tokoua mo e fanga tuofāfine fakalaumālié. ʻOua ʻaupito naʻa liʻaki ʻa e fakatahataha fakataha ʻi he ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané!

“Naʻe Fanongo ʻa e Tokotaha Taki Taha . . . [ki Heʻenau] Taki Taha Lea” (Ngāue 2:5-13)

“ʻOku tau fanongo ki heʻenau lea ʻi heʻetau ngaahi leá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa fisifisimuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá.”​—Ngāue 2:11

9 Fakaʻuta atu ki he fuʻu fiefia kuo pau pē naʻe mapuna hake ʻi he feohi ko ia naʻe fai ʻa ia naʻe tuifio ai ʻa e kau Siú mo e kau uluí ʻi he Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S. Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e faʻahinga naʻe ʻi aí ʻoku ngalingali pē naʻe lava ke nau lea ʻi ha lea naʻe anga-maheni ki ai ʻa e tokotaha kotoa, mahalo pē ko e lea faka-Kalisí pe faka-Hepeluú. Ka ʻi he taimi ia ko ení, “naʻe fanongo ʻa e tokotaha taki taha [ki he kau ākongá] ki heʻenau lea mai ʻaki ʻa ʻenau taki taha lea.” (Ngā. 2:6) ʻOku pau pē naʻe maongo ki he kau fanongo ko iá ke fanongo ki he ongoongo leleí ʻi heʻenau lea tuʻufonuá. Ko e moʻoni, ko e kau Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻoku ʻikai ke nau maʻu ʻa e meʻaʻofa ʻo ha malava fakaemana ke lea ʻi he ngaahi lea mulí. Kae kehe, ko e tokolahi kuo nau fakafaingamālieʻi kinautolu ke nau fakamafola atu ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e Puleʻangá ki he kakai ʻo e ngaahi kulupu fakafonua kotoa pē. Anga-fēfē? Kuo ako ʻe he niʻihi ha lea foʻou koeʻuhí ke nau lava ai ʻo ngāue ʻi ha fakatahaʻanga lea muli ofi mai, pe naʻa mo haʻanau hiki ki ha fonua muli.

“Naʻe Tuʻu Hake ʻa Pita” (Ngāue 2:14-37)

12. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e lave ʻa e palōfita ko Sioelí ki he meʻa fakaemana naʻe hoko ʻi he Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S.? (e) Ko e hā naʻe fai ai ha ʻamanaki ki hono fakahoko ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí ʻa e kikite ʻa Sioelí?
