“Malangaʻaki ʻa e folofola, . . . fakaʻilo hala, valoki, enginaki ʻi he angakātaki ʻaupito, pea ʻaki ʻa e faʻahinga ako kehekehe [“pōtoʻi fakafaiakó,” NW].”—2 TIM. 4:2.

 1. Ko e hā ʻa e fekau naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá, pea ko e hā e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga naʻá ne fokotuʻú?

 NEONGO ʻa e ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻo e fakamoʻui mahaki naʻe fakahoko ʻe Sīsū lolotonga ʻene ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi he māmaní, ne ʻiloa tefito ia, ʻo ʻikai ko ha tokotaha fakamoʻui mahaki pe ko ha tokotaha fai ʻa e ngaahi mana, ka ko ha faiako. (Mk. 12:19; 13:1) Ko hono talaki ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá naʻe fakamuʻomuʻa ʻe Sīsuú, pea ʻoku pehē pē mo hono kau muimui he ʻaho ní.

 2. Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fai koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ai ʻa e fekau ke tau malangá?

2 Koeʻuhi ke fakahoko ʻa e fekau ke tau ngaohi ākongá, ʻoku tau feinga maʻu pē ke fakaleleiʻi ʻetau malava fakafaiakó. Naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e malava ko ení ʻi heʻene tohi ki hono kaungā malanga ko Tīmoté. Naʻá ne pehē: “Lamalama kiate koe mo e meʻa ʻoku ke akoʻaki: ke ke nofoʻaki fai ʻa e ongo meʻa ko ia; he ʻi hoʻo fai pehe, te ke fakamoʻui koe mo kinautolu foki ʻoku fanongo kiate koe.” (1 Tim. 4:16) Ko e faʻahinga faiako naʻe ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa Paulá ʻoku ʻikai ko hano tuku atu pē ʻo e ʻiló. Ko e kau faifekau Kalisitiane ola leleí ʻoku nau aʻu ki he loto ʻo e kakaí pea ueʻi kinautolu ke nau fai ha ngaahi liliu ʻi heʻenau moʻuí. Ko ha pōtoʻi ia. Ko ia ʻe lava fēfē ke tau fakatupulekina ʻa e “pōtoʻi fakafaiakó” ʻi hono ʻoatu ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá?—2 Tim. 4:2, NW.

3 ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he tikisinale ʻe taha ʻa e “pōtoʻí” ko ha “poto ʻa ia ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ako, ngāueʻaki pe siofi.” ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau tokanga ki he tafaʻaki kotoa ʻe tolu ko ení ke hoko ai ko e kau faiako ola lelei ʻo e ongoongo leleí. Ko e founga pē taha ʻe lava ke tau maʻu ai ha mahino totonu ki heʻetau kaveingá ko hono ako ia fakataha mo e lotu. (Lau ʻa e Sāme 119:27, 34.) ʻI hono siofi ʻa e kau faifekau ola leleí ʻi heʻenau faiakó ʻoku tokoni ia kia kitautolu ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻenau ngaahi foungá pea faʻifaʻitaki ki ai. Pea ʻi he feinga mālohi maʻu pē ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau akó ʻe tokoni ia ke fakaleleiʻi ai ʻetau ngaahi malavá.—Luke 6:40; 1 Tim. 4:13-15.

4 Ko Sihova ʻa hotau Faiako Maʻongoʻongá. Fakafou ʻi he konga hā mai ʻo ʻene kautahá, ʻokú ne tokonaki ai ki heʻene kau sevāniti ʻi he māmaní ʻa e tataki ki he founga ʻoku totonu ke fakahokoʻaki ʻa e fekau ke nau malangá. (Ai. 30:20, 21) ʻI he taumuʻa ko ení, ʻoku fai fakauike ai ʻe he fakatahaʻanga kotoa pē ha Ako Fakafaifekau Fakateokalati, ʻa ia ʻoku faʻufaʻu ia ke tokoniʻi ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku kau ki aí ke nau hoko ko e kau fanongonongo pōtoʻi ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko e tohi ako tefito ki he akó ni ko e Tohi Tapú. ʻOku tala mai ʻe he Folofola fakamānavaʻi ʻa Sihová ʻa e meʻa ke tau faiakoʻakí. ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi ʻa e ngaahi founga fakafaiako ʻoku ola lelei mo feʻungamālié. Ko e Ako Fakafaifekau Fakateokalatí ʻoku fakamanatu maʻu mai pē ai kia kitautolu te tau hoko ʻo pōtoʻi ange ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau faiakó kapau ʻoku fakatefito ʻetau faiakó ʻi he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ngāueʻaongaʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi, faiako ʻi ha founga faingofua, pea fakahaaʻi ha mahuʻingaʻia moʻoni ʻi he niʻihi kehé.

Fakatefito Hoʻo Faiakó ʻi he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá

 5. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke fakatefito ai ʻetau faiakó, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

5 Ko Sīsū, ʻa e faiako lahi taha ʻi he kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, naʻá ne fakatefito ʻene ngaahi akonakí ʻi he Tohi Tapú. (Mt. 21:13; Sione 6:45; 8:17) Naʻá ne lea ʻo ʻikai ʻi he mafai pē ʻoʻoná, ka ʻi he mafai ʻo e Tokotaha naʻá ne fekauʻi mai iá. (Sione 7:16-18) Ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ia ʻoku tau muimui ki aí. Ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻoku tau leaʻaki ʻi he ngāue fale-ki-he-falé pe ʻi he ngaahi ako Tohi Tapu ʻi ʻapí ʻoku totonu ke fakatefito ia ʻi he mafai ʻo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. (2 Tim. 3:16, 17) Ko ʻetau fakaʻuhinga pōtoʻí heʻikai ʻaupito malava ke tatau ia mo e tuʻunga ola lelei pea mo e mālohi ʻo e Tohi Tapu fakamānavaʻí. ʻOku maʻu ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e mafai. Ko e hā pē ha poini ʻoku tau feinga ke tokoniʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne mahinoʻi, ko e founga lelei taha ʻe lava ke tau ngāueʻakí ko hono ʻai ia ke ne lau ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he Tohi Tapú fekauʻaki mo e poini ko iá.—Lau ʻa e Hepelu 4:12.

 7. Ko e hā ko ha founga fakafaiako lelei ai ʻa hono ngāueʻaki ʻo e ngaahi fehuʻí?

7 Ko e ngāue pōtoʻi ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí ʻoku ueʻi ai ʻa e fakakaukaú pea tokoniʻi ʻa e faiakó ke aʻu ki he loto ʻo e tokotaha akó. Ko ia ʻi he ʻikai fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi konga Tohi Tapú ki hoʻo tokotaha akó, kole ange ke ne fakamatalaʻi atu ia kiate koe. ʻE fiemaʻu nai ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ha fehuʻi fakalahi pe naʻa mo ha holongā fehuʻi ke tokoniʻi ʻa hoʻo tokotaha akó ke ne maʻu ʻa e mahino totonú. ʻI hoʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa e foungá ni ʻi hono akoʻi hoʻo tokotaha akó, ko hono moʻoní ʻokú ke tokoniʻi ai ia ʻo ʻikai koeʻuhi pē ke ne mahinoʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻo ha fakamulituku ʻoku ʻomai kae toe pehē foki ke ne tuipau ki he fakamulituku ko iá.—Mt. 17:24-26; Luke 10:36, 37.

 8. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻi he loto ʻo ha tokotaha ako?

8 Ko e founga fakaeako ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻi heʻetau ʻū tohí ko e fehuʻi mo e tali. ʻOku ʻikai ha veiveiua, ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kakai ʻokú ke ako Tohi Tapu mo iá te nau malava vave ke tali ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻoku pulusí, ʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa e fakamatala ʻi he ngaahi palakalafi tatau. Naʻa mo ia, ko e faiako ʻiloʻiló heʻikai te ne fiemālie pē ʻi he ngaahi tali tonú. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻe malava nai ha tokotaha ako ke ne fakamatalaʻi totonu ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe he Tohi Tapú fekauʻaki mo e feʻauakí. (1 Kol.1Ko 6:18) Kae kehe, ko e ngaahi fehuʻi fakatupu fakakaukau fakapotopotó, ʻoku lava ke fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fakakaukau moʻoni ki ai ʻa e tokotaha akó fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ʻokú ne akó. Ko ia ʻe ʻeke nai ʻe he faiakó: “Ko e hā ʻoku fakahalaiaʻi ai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e fehokotaki fakasino ʻi tuʻa ʻi he nofo malí? Ko e hā hoʻo fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo e fakataputapui ko eni ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he ʻOtuá? ʻOkú ke fakakaukau ʻoku ʻi ai ha ʻaonga ʻo e moʻui ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tuʻunga fakaeʻulungāanga ʻa e ʻOtuá?” Ko e tali ki he ngaahi fehuʻi peheé ʻe lava ke fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻi he loto ʻo e tokotaha akó.—Lau ʻa e Mātiu 16:13-17.

9 Ko e ngaahi moʻoni lahi taha ʻoku ʻi he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku nau ʻi ha tuʻunga faingofua. Kae kehe, mahalo pē nai ko e kakai ʻoku tau ako Tohi Tapu mo iá kuo nau puputuʻu ʻi he ngaahi tokāteline ʻa e lotu loí. Ko hotau ngafa ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau faiakó ke ʻai ʻa e Tohi Tapú ke mahinoʻingofua. Ko e kau faiako pōtoʻí ʻoku nau fakahoko faingofua, mahino mo totonu ʻa e fakamatalá. Kapau te tau muimui ʻi he fakahinohino ko ení, heʻikai ke tau ʻai ʻa e moʻoní ke toe faingataʻa ange hono mahinoʻí. Fakaʻehiʻehi mei ha ngaahi fakaikiiki pē ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu. ʻOku ʻikai fiemaʻu ke fakamatala ki he tafaʻaki kotoa pē ʻo ha konga Tohi Tapu ʻoku tau lau. Tokangataha pē ki he meʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu ke fakamahinoʻi ʻaki ʻa e poini ʻoku fai ki ai ʻa e lāuleá. ʻE faifai pē ʻo mahinoʻi ʻe he tokotaha akó ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni Fakatohitapu loloto angé ʻi he fakalakalaka ʻa ʻene mahinó.—Hep. 5:13, 14.

10. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻa tefito ʻokú ne fakapapauʻi ʻa e lahi ʻo e fakamatala ke ʻosiki lolotonga ha ako Tohi Tapu?

10 Ko e hā e lahi ʻo e fakamatala ʻoku totonu ke ʻosiki ʻi he ako ʻe tahá? Ke fakapapauʻi ení, ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻa e ʻiloʻilo. Ko e ngaahi malava mo e tuʻunga fakatouʻosi ʻo e tokotaha akó mo e faiakó ʻe kehekehe, ka ʻoku totonu ke tau manatuʻi maʻu pē ko ʻetau taumuʻa ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau faiakó ke tokoniʻi ʻetau tokotaha akó ke ne fakatupulekina ha tui mālohi.

11 Naʻe ʻai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e ongoongo leleí ke faingofua ʻi heʻene lea ki he faʻahinga foʻoú. Neongo naʻá ne ʻi he tuʻunga fakaako lelei ʻaupito, naʻá ne fakaʻehiʻehi mei hono ngāueʻaki ʻo e lea fakapotó. (Lau ʻa e 1 Kolinito 2:1, 2.) Ko e tuʻunga faingofua ʻo e moʻoni Fakatohitapú ʻoku tohoakiʻi mai ai ʻo fakafiemālieʻi ʻa e kakai loto-moʻoní. ʻOku ʻikai fiemaʻu ke hoko ha taha ʻo ʻi ha tuʻunga fakaako lelei ka ne toki mahinoʻi ia.—Mt. 11:25; Ng. 4:13; 1 Kol.1Ko 1:26, 27.

Tokoniʻi ʻa e Kau Akó Ke Nau Fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e Meʻa ʻOku Nau Akó

12, 13. Ko e hā nai te ne ueʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ngāue ai ki he meʻa ʻokú ne akó? Fakatātaaʻi.
