Heʻikai ke Liʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻEne Kau Mateakí
“[Ko Sihova] heʻikai te ne liʻaki ʻa ʻene kau mateakí. ʻE maluʻi moʻoni kinautolu ʻo taʻengata.”—SĀME 37:28, NW.
1, 2. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko ʻi he senituli hono hongofulu K.M. ne ʻahiʻahiʻi ai ʻa e mateaki ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻe tolu naʻe maluʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻene kau mateakí?
KO E senituli ia hono hongofulu K.M. pea ko ha taimi ia ke fai ai ha fili. Ko e mālō pē hao mei ha tau fakalotofonua ʻi hono foaki ki he ngaahi matakali fakatokelau taʻemanonga ʻo ʻIsilelí ha tuʻunga feʻunga ʻo e tauʻatāina. Ko honau tuʻi naʻe toki fakanofó, ʻa Selopoame, ʻokú ne fai leva ha meʻa ke ʻai ke mālohi hono mafaí ʻaki hono fokotuʻu ha lotu foʻou Fakapuleʻanga. ʻOkú ne kounaʻi ʻa e mateaki kakato mei hono kakaí.

2 ʻOku ʻahiʻahiʻi foki mo e mateaki ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hotau ʻahó ni. “Mou laka fakaʻehiʻehi, mou ʻā,” ko e fakatokanga ia ʻa e Tohi Tapú. “Ko homou fili ko e Tevolo ʻoku ne ʻalu fano ʻo hange ko ha laione ngungulu, heʻene kumi ha taha ke ne matuʻaki folo.” ʻE lava ke tau lavameʻa ʻo “talitekeʻi, he tuʻu maʻumaʻuluta he tui”? (1 Pita 5:8, 9) Tau sivisiviʻi angé ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko takatakai ʻi hono fakanofo tuʻi ʻo Tuʻi Selopoame ʻi he 997 K.M. pea sio pe ko e hā ʻe lava ke tau ako mei aí. Lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi taimi faingataʻa ko iá, naʻe fakafeʻātungiaʻi ai ʻa e kau sevāniti faitōnunga ʻa Sihová. Naʻa nau toe eʻa atu ki he ngaahi tākiekina ʻa e tafoki mei he moʻoní lolotonga ia ʻenau fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi ngafa faingataʻa naʻe vaheʻi atú. ʻI he ngaahi tuʻungá ni taki taha, naʻe ʻikai ke liʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻene kau mateakí ʻi he taimi ko iá, pea heʻikai te ne fai pehē he ʻahó ni.—Sāme 37:28.
ʻI he Tofanga ʻi he Fakafeʻātungiá
3. Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ke fakafeʻātungia ai ʻa e pule ʻa Tuʻi Tēvitá?
3 Tau ʻuluaki sivisiviʻi angé ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga naʻe hoko ai ʻa Selopoame ko e tuʻí. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Palovepi 29:2: “ʻOka pule ʻa e angahala, ʻoku laungatuʻu ʻa e kakai.” ʻI he malumalu ʻo e pule ʻa Tuʻi Tēvita ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá, naʻe ʻikai ke lāungatuʻu ai ʻa e kakaí. Naʻe ʻikai ke haohaoa ʻa Tēvita, ka naʻá ne mateaki ki he ʻOtuá mo falala kiate ia. Ko e pule ʻa Tēvitá naʻe ʻikai ke fakafeʻātungia. Naʻe fai ʻe Sihova ha fuakava mo Tēvita, ʻo pehē: “ʻE fakapapau ho fale mo ho puleʻanga kiate koe ʻo taʻengata: ʻe fokotuʻu ho taloni ʻo taʻengata.”—2 Sam. 7:16.
4. Naʻe fakatuʻunga ʻi he hā ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki naʻe maʻu ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e pule ʻa Solomoné?
4 Ko e pule ʻa e foha ʻo Tēvita ko Solomoné naʻe kamata melino mo lakalakaimonū ʻaupito ʻo malava ke tomuʻa fakalika lelei mai ai ʻa e Pule Taʻu ʻe Taha Afe ʻa Kalaisi Sīsū ʻi he kahaʻú. (Sāme 72:1, 17) Naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻe ha taha ʻo e ngaahi matakali ʻe 12 ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he taimi ko iá ha ʻuhinga ke angatuʻu ai. Kae kehe, naʻe fakatuʻunga pē ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki naʻe maʻu ʻe Solomone mo e kakai naʻe pule ki aí. Naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Solomone: “Kapau te ke fou ʻi heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo fai ʻeku konisitutone, mo tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau kotoa pea ke fou ai; pea te u toki fakaai mo koe ʻa e lea naʻa ku fai ki hoʻo tamai ko Tevita. Pea te u nofo ki he lotolotonga ʻo haʻa Isileli, pea ʻe ʻikai te u liʻaki hoku kakai Isileli.”—1 Tuʻi 6:11-13.
5, 6. Ko e hā ʻa e ikuʻanga ʻo e taʻemateaki ʻa Solomone ki he ʻOtuá?
5 ʻI heʻene taʻumotuʻá, naʻe hoko ai ʻa Solomone ʻo taʻefaitōnunga kia Sihova pea kamata ke kau ʻi he lotu loí. (1 Tuʻi 11:4-6) Naʻe faai mai pē ʻo tuku ʻe Solomone ʻene talangofua ki he ngaahi lao ʻa Sihová pea naʻe hoko ʻo fakautuutu ʻene fakafeʻātungiá. Naʻe hoko ʻeni ʻo aʻu ki ha tuʻunga ʻi he hili ʻene maté, naʻe lāunga ai ʻa e kakaí fekauʻaki mo ia ki hono foha naʻá ne fetongi iá, ko Lehopoame, mo nau kole ki ha fakafiemālie. (1 Tuʻi 12:4) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa Sihova ʻi he taimi naʻe hoko ai ʻa Solomone ʻo taʻefaitōnungá?
6 ʻOku tala mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú kiate kitautolu: “Nae houhau a Jihova kia Solomone, koeuhi nae fakatafoki a hono loto mei [he] . . . Otua o Isileli, aia nae ha tuo ua mai kiate ia.” Naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Solomone: “Koeuhi . . . kuo ikai te ke fai ki he eku fuakava mo eku gaahi tuutuuni aia kuou fekau kiate koe, koe mooni teu hae ae buleaga meiate koe, bea teu foaki ia ki hoo tamaioeiki.”—1 Tuʻi 11:9-11, PM.
7. Neongo naʻe siʻaki ʻa Solomone, naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tokanga ʻa Sihova ki Heʻene kau mateakí?
7 Naʻe fekauʻi leva ʻe Sihova ʻa e palōfita ko ʻAhaiá ke ne pani ha faifakahaofi. Ko e faifakahaofi ko iá ko Selopoame, ko ha tangata taau naʻe ngāue ʻi he malumalu ʻo e pule ʻa Solomoné. Neongo naʻe kei mateaki pē ʻa Sihova ki he fuakava Puleʻanga naʻá ne fai mo Tēvitá, naʻá Ne tali ha vahevahe ʻo e puleʻangá ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi matakali ʻe 12. Ko e matakali ʻe 10 ʻe foaki ia kia Selopoame; ko e ua ʻe kei nofo pē ia ʻi he laine fakafāmili ʻo Tēvitá, ʻa ia naʻe fakafofongaʻi he taimi ko ʻení ʻe Tuʻi Lehopoamé. (1 Tuʻi 11:29-37; 12:16, 17, 21) Naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Selopoame: “Kapau te ke fakaongo ki he meʻa kotoa kuo u tuʻutuʻuni atu, pea ke fou ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, mo fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ha totonu kiate au, ke tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekau mo tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo hange ko e fai ʻe Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea te u toki ʻiate koe, pea te u langa moʻou ha fale tuʻu maʻu, hange ko ʻeku langa moʻo Tevita, pea te u ʻatu ʻa Isileli kiate koe.” (1 Tuʻi 11:38) Naʻe ngāue ʻa Sihova maʻa hono kakaí pea tokonaki ha founga ke ʻomai ai kiate kinautolu ʻa e fakafiemālie mei he fakafeʻātungiá.
8. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻokú ne fakafeʻātungiaʻi ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻaho ní?
8 ʻOku lahi fau ʻa e fakafeʻātungiá mo e fakamaau taʻetotonú he ʻahó ni. ‘Kuo pule ha tangata ki he kakaí ke nau kovi ai,’ ko e lau ia ʻa e Koheleti 8:9. Ko e pisinisi mānumanú mo e pule koví ʻoku iku nai ai ki he ngaahi tuʻunga faingataʻa fakaʻekonōmika. Ko e kau taki ʻi he puleʻangá, pisinisí, mo e lotú ʻoku nau faʻa fokotuʻu ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga kovi fakaeʻulungāanga. Ko ia ai, ʻi he hangē ko Lote māʻoniʻoní, ko e kau mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻoku nau “mafasia ʻi he toʻonga ʻa e kau malaki lao na, ʻa ia naʻa nau moʻui ʻaki ʻa e pauʻu fakalielia.” (2 Pita 2:7) ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻi heʻetau feinga ʻiate kitautolu pē ke moʻuiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga fakaʻotuá, ʻoku tau faʻa hoko ai ko e tāketi ʻo e fakatanga mei he kau pule hīkisiá.—2 Tim. 3:1-5, 12.
9. (a) Ko e hā kuo ʻosi fakahoko ʻe Sihova ke fakahaofi ʻaki hono kakaí? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku lava ai ke tau ʻilo pau ʻe mateaki maʻu pē ʻa Sīsū ki he ʻOtuá?
9 Kae kehe, ʻoku malava ke tau fakapapauʻi ʻa e moʻoni tefito ko ʻení: Heʻikai ʻaupito ke liʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻene kau mateakí! Fakakaukau atu angé ki he ngaahi founga kuó ne ʻosi fakahoko ke fetongi ʻaki ʻa e kau pule kovi ʻo e māmaní. Kuo ʻosi fokotuʻu ʻa e Puleʻanga Faka-Mīsaia ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he toʻukupu ʻo Kalaisi Sīsuú. Kuo pule ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi hēvani ʻi he meimei taʻu ʻe teau. Kuo vavé ni ke ne ʻomi ʻa e fiemālie kakato ki he faʻahinga ʻoku manavahē ki he huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Lau ʻa e Fakahā 11:15-18.) Kuo ʻosi fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene mateaki ki he ʻOtuá ʻo aʻu ki heʻene pekia. Heʻikai ʻaupito te ne ʻai ke siva ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻa e faʻahinga te ne pule ki aí, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Solomoné.—Hep. 7:26; 1 Pita 2:6.
10. (a) ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakahāhaaʻi ʻoku tau mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá? (e) ʻI he fehangahangai mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí, ko e hā ʻoku lava ke tau falala pau ki aí?
10 Ko e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ko ha founga-pule moʻoni ʻa ia te ne fakangata ʻa e fakafeʻātungia kotoa pē. Ko ʻetau tukupaá ʻoku fai kia Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mo ʻene fokotuʻutuʻú. ʻI he falala kakato ki he Puleʻangá, ʻoku tau fakafisingaʻi ai ʻa e anga-taʻefakaʻotua ʻa e māmaní pea tuli tōtōivi ki he ngaahi ngāue leleí. (Tai. 2:12-14) ʻOku tau feinga ke tau taʻehaʻila ai pē mei he māmani ko ʻení. (2 Pita 3:14) Tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ha ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻoku tau lolotonga fehangahangai nai mo ia, ʻoku malava ke tau falala pau ʻe maluʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova mei he maumau fakalaumālié. (Lau ʻa e Sāme 97:10.) ʻIkai ko ia pē, ʻoku fakapapauʻi mai ʻe he Sāme 116:15 kiate kitautolu: “ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻa e pekia ʻa hono ʻofaʻanga.” ʻOku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa Sihová kiate ia ʻa ia heʻikai te ne fakaʻatā ke fakaʻauha kinautolu ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha kulupu.
ʻI he Eʻa ki he Tākiekina ʻa e Tafoki mei he Moʻoní
11. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e hoko ʻa Selopoame ʻo taʻemateakí?
11 Naʻe mei lava pē ke ʻomai ʻe he pule ʻa Tuʻi Selopoamé ha fiemālie ki he kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ka ʻi hono kehé, naʻe toe ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe heʻene ngaahi ngāué ʻa ʻenau mateaki ki he ʻOtuá. ʻI he ʻikai ke fiemālie ʻi he lāngilangi mo e monū naʻe ʻosi ʻoange kiate iá, naʻe kamata ʻa Selopoame ia ke kumi ki ha ngaahi founga ke fakaivimālohiʻi ai hono tuʻungá. Naʻá ne fakaʻuhinga: “Kapau ʻe ʻalu hake ʻa e kakai ni ke fai feilaulau ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Selusalema, pea ʻe foki ʻa e loto ʻo e kakai ni ki honau ʻeiki, ʻio, kia Lehopoame ko e Tuʻi Siuta; pea te nau tamateʻi au, ʻo foki kia Lehopoame ko e Tuʻi Siuta.” Ko ia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Selopoame ha lotu foʻou ʻo fakatefito ʻi ha ʻuhikiʻi pulu koula ʻe ua. “Pea ne fokotuʻu ʻa e taha ʻi Peteli, pea ko e taha naʻa ne tuku ʻi Tani. Pea naʻe hoko ʻa e meʻa ko ia ko e meʻa fakahala: pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa e kakai ke hu ki he taha, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki Tani. Pea ne ngaohi fale ʻi he ngaahi sia, ʻo ne fokotuʻu taulaʻeiki mei he kakai kotoa pe ʻo aʻu ki he kimui, ʻa kinautolu naʻe ʻikai kau ki haʻa Livai.” Naʻe aʻu ʻo fokotuʻu ʻe Selopoame ʻene ʻaho “katoanga [pē ʻaʻana] ki haʻa Isileli,” peá ne kamata “ʻalu hake ki he olita ke tutu inisenisi.”—1 Tuʻi 12:26-33.
12. Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe he kau mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he puleʻanga fakatokelaú ʻi he taimi naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe Selopoame ʻa e lotu ki he ʻuhikiʻi pulú ʻi ʻIsilelí?

(Eki. 35:26-28; Nom. 35:6-8; Teu. 33:8, 9) ʻI hono liʻaki honau ngaahi tofiʻá, naʻa nau mavahe mo honau ngaahi fāmilí ki he tongá ki Siuta, ʻa ia naʻe malava ai ke nau hokohoko atu ʻa e lotu kia Sihová ʻo ʻikai ha fakahohaʻa.

(Lau ʻa e Loma 16:17.) Lolotonga ʻetau talangofua loto-lelei ki he kau maʻu mafai fakapuleʻangá ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakaemāmaní pea tuʻu-ʻatā ai pē ʻi he ngaahi fepaki ʻi he māmaní, ʻoku ʻalu taha pē ʻetau mateakí ki he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.
