“Ko e Ngaue Lahi”
KO E taimi eni ki ha fakataha mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻi Selusalema. Naʻe fakatahatahaʻi mai ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita ʻa e kotoa ʻene kau pilinisí, kau ngāue ʻi he lotoʻā ʻo e tuʻí mo e kau tangata toʻá. Naʻa nau fiefia ke fanongo ki ha fanongonongo makehe. Kuo vaheʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e foha ʻo Tēvita ko Solomoné ke ne langa ha fuʻu fale naʻe fakatapui ki he lotu ki he ʻOtua moʻoní. Naʻe maʻu ʻe he tuʻi taʻumotuʻa ko eni ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻa e palani ki he langá fakafou ʻi hano fakamānavaʻi pea ʻoange ia kia Solomone. “Ko e ngaue lahi,” ko e lea ia ʻa Tēvitá, “he talaʻehai ko e palasi maʻae tangata, ka maʻa Sihova Elohimi.”—1 Kal. 28:1, 2, 6, 11, 12; 29:1.
ʻOku ʻeke leva ʻe Tēvita ʻa e fehuʻi ko ení: “Pea ko hai ʻoku loto lelei he ʻaho ni ke ʻatu ʻene meaʻofa kia Sihova?” (1 Kal. 29:5) Kapau naʻá ke ʻi ai, ʻe fēfē haʻo tali? ʻE ueʻi ai koe ke ke poupouʻi ʻa e ngāue lahi ko ení? Naʻe ngāue leva ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí. Ko e moʻoni, naʻe “fiefia ʻa e kakai ʻenau fai lotolelei, he naʻa nau ʻatu fie ʻatu kia Sihova ʻaki honau loto kotoa.”—1 Kal. 29:9.
ʻI he ngaahi senituli ki mui aí, naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ha meʻa naʻe lahi ange ia ʻi he temipalé. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ʻa e fuʻu temipale fakalaumālie, ʻa ia ko e fokotuʻutuʻu maʻá e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke nau ʻunuʻunu kiate ia ʻi he lotu ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he feilaulau ʻa Sīsuú. (Hep. 9:11, 12) ʻOku anga-fēfē hono tokoniʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e kakaí ke nau hoko ʻo fakalelei mo ia ʻi he ʻaho ní? Fakafou ʻi heʻetau ngāue ngaohi-ākongá. (Māt. 28: 19, 20) Ko e ola ʻo e ngāue ko ení ʻoku fakahoko ai ha ngaahi ako Tohi Tapu ʻe laui miliona, papitaiso ai ʻa e kau ākonga ʻe laui afe pea fokotuʻu mo e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga foʻou ʻe lauingeau ʻi he taʻu taki taha.
ʻOku hoko ʻa e tupu ko ení ʻo fiemaʻu ai ke pulusi ʻa e ʻū tohi Fakatohitapu lahi ange, langa mo tauhi ʻo e ngaahi Fale Fakatahaʻangá pea fiemaʻu mo e ngaahi feituʻu faiʻanga ʻasemipilī mo e fakataha-lahi. ʻIkai ʻokú ke tui ko ʻetau ngāue ki hono talaki ʻa e ongoongo leleí ko e ngāue lahi mo fakafiefiá?—Māt. 24:14.
Ko ʻetau ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá mo e kaungāʻapí pea pehē ki he fakavavevave ʻo e ngāue malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá, ʻokú ne ueʻi ai ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ke nau “loto lelei . . . ke ʻatu ʻene meaʻofa kia Sihova” ʻaki ʻenau fai ha tokoni loto-fiefoaki. He meʻa fakafiefia ē ke ‘fakaʻapaʻapa kia Sihova ʻaki [ʻetau] koloá’ pea sio ki he anga hono ngāueʻaki faitōnunga mo fakapotopoto ʻa e ngaahi koloa ko ení ke fai ʻa e ngāue lahi taha ʻi he hisitōlia ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá!—Pal. 3:9.
