ʻI HE KUPÚ NI a

1. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻetau ʻiloʻi ʻoku loto ʻa Sihova ke ʻunuʻunu ofi mai kiate kitautolú?

 KO Sihova ʻokú ne fakaafeʻi mai kitautolu ke ʻunuʻunu ofi ange kiate ia. (Sēm. 4:8) ʻOkú ne loto ke ne hoko ko hotau ʻOtua, ko ʻetau Tamai pea mo hotau Kaumeʻa. ʻOkú ne tali ʻetau ngaahi lotú pea tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi taimi faingataʻá. Pea ʻokú ne ngāueʻaki ʻene kautahá ke akoʻi mo maluʻi kitautolu. Ka ko e hā kuo pau ke tau fai ke ʻunuʻunu ofi ai kia Sihová?

2. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau ʻunuʻunu ofi kia Sihová?

2 ʻE lava ke tau ʻunuʻunu ofi kia Sihova ʻaki ʻa e lotu kiate ia pea lau ʻene Folofolá pea fakalaulauloto ki ai. ʻI heʻetau fai iá, ʻoku tau hoko ai ʻo ʻofa mo houngaʻia lahi kiate ia. ʻOku ueʻi kitautolu ke ʻoange kiate ia ʻa e talangofua mo e fakahīkihiki ʻokú ne tuha moʻoni mo iá. (Fkh. 4:11) Ko e lahi ange ʻetau ʻiloʻi ʻa Sihová, ko e lahi ange ia ʻetau falala kiate ia pea mo e kautaha kuó ne tokonaki mai ke tokoniʻi kitautolú.

3. ʻOku anga-fēfē feinga ʻa e Tēvoló ke fakamavaheʻi kitautolu meia Sihová, ka ko e hā te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke ʻoua ʻaupito te tau liʻaki hotau ʻOtuá mo ʻene kautahá? (Saame 31:13, 14)

3 Neongo ia, ʻoku feinga ʻa e Tēvoló ke fakamavaheʻi kitautolu meia Sihova, tautefito ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fehangahangai ai mo e ngaahi polé. Ko e hā ʻene foungá? ʻOkú ne feinga māmālie ke fakavaivaiʻi ʻetau falala kia Sihova mo ʻene kautahá. Ka ʻe lava ke tau talitekeʻi ʻene ngaahi foungá. ʻI he taimi ʻoku mālohi ai ʻetau tuí pea taʻeueʻia ʻetau falala kia Sihová, heʻikai ke tau liʻaki hotau ʻOtuá mo ʻene kautahá.​—Lau ʻa e Saame 31:13, 14.

4. Ko e hā te tau lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu ko ení?

Pea ko e hā ʻe lava ke tau fai ke fakafepakiʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi feinga ʻa Sētané?

ʻI HEʻETAU FEHANGAHANGAI MO E FAINGATAʻÁ

5. ʻE lava fēfē ke fakavaivaiʻi ʻe he faingataʻá ʻetau falala kia Sihova mo ʻene kautahá?

5 ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi faingataʻa​—hangē ko e fakafepaki mei he fāmilí pe ko e mole ʻetau ngāué. ʻE lava fēfē ke fakavaivaiʻi ʻe he faingataʻa ko iá ʻetau falala ki he kautaha ʻa Sihová pea fakamavaheʻi ai kitautolu meiate ia? ʻI heʻetau kātekina ha faingataʻa ʻi ha taimi fuoloa, te tau ongoʻi nai ʻoku siva ʻetau ʻamanakí pea loto-siʻi. ʻOku lau ia ʻe Sētane ko ha faingamālie peá ne feinga ke ʻai kitautolu ke tau veiveiua ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻiate kitautolú. ʻOku loto ʻa e Tēvoló ke tau fehuʻia pe ko Sihova pe ko ʻEne kautahá ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo ʻetau faingataʻaʻiá. Naʻe hoko ʻa e meʻa meimei tatau ki he niʻihi ʻo e kau ʻIsileli ʻi ʻIsipité. ʻI he kamatá naʻa nau tui ko Sihova naʻá ne fakanofo ʻa Mōsese mo ʻĒlone ke fakahaofi kinautolu mei he nofo pōpulá. (ʻEki. 4:29-31) Ka ki mui ai ʻi hono ʻai ʻe Felo ke faingataʻa ange ʻenau moʻuí, naʻa nau tukuakiʻi ʻa Mōsese mo ʻĒlone ki heʻenau ngaahi palopalemá, ʻo tala ange: “Kuó mo ʻai ʻa Felo mo ʻene kau sevānití ke nau fehiʻanekinaʻi kimautolu, pea kuó mo ʻai ki honau nimá ha heletā ke tāmateʻi ʻaki kimautolu.” (ʻEki. 5:19-21) Naʻa nau tukuakiʻi ʻa e ongo sevāniti mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá. He fakalotomamahi ē ko ia! Kapau kuó ke kātekina ha faingataʻa ʻi ha taimi fuoloa, ʻe lava fēfē ke ke tauhi ke mālohi hoʻo falala kia Sihova mo ʻene kautahá?

6. Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako mei he palōfita ko Hapakuké fekauʻaki mo e founga ke fekuki ai mo e faingataʻá? (Hapakuke 3:17-19)

6 Huaʻi atu ho lotó kia Sihova ʻi he lotu, pea hanga kiate ia ki ha poupou. Naʻe fehangahangai ʻa e palōfita ko Hapakuké mo e ngaahi faingataʻa lahi. ʻI he taimi ʻe taha, ʻoku hā ngali naʻá ne veiveiua pe naʻe tokanga mai ʻa Sihova kiate ia. Ko ia naʻá ne huaʻi atu ʻene ngaahi ongoʻí kia Sihova ʻi he lotu. Naʻá ne pehē: “Ko e hā hono fuoloa, ʻe Sihova, kuo pau ke u tangi ai ki ha tokoni, kae ʻikai te ke ongoʻí? . . . Ko e hā ʻokú ke kātakiʻi ai ʻa e fakaaoaó?” (Hap. 1:2, 3) Naʻe tali ʻe Sihova ʻa e lotu loto-moʻoni ʻa ʻene sevāniti mateakí. (Hap. 2:2, 3) Hili ʻa e fakalaulauloto ʻa Hapakuke ki he ngaahi ngāue faifakahaofi ʻa Sihová, naʻe toe fakafoʻou ʻene fiefiá. Naʻá ne tuipau naʻe tokanga ange ʻa Sihova kiate ia pea te ne tokoniʻi ia ke kātekina ha faʻahinga ʻahiʻahi pē. (Lau ʻa e Hapakuke 3:17-19.) Ko e hā ʻa e lēsoni kiate kitautolú? ʻI hoʻo fehangahangai mo e faingataʻá, lotu kia Sihova pea tala ange kiate ia ʻa e anga hoʻo ongoʻí. Hanga leva kiate ia ki ha poupou. ʻI hoʻo fai peheé, ʻe lava ke ke tuipau ʻe ʻoatu ʻe Sihova ʻa e mālohi ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ke kātekina aí. Pea ʻi he taimi ʻokú ke ongoʻi ai ʻene poupoú, ko hoʻo tui kiate iá ʻe tupu ke toe mālohi ange.

7. Ko e hā naʻe feinga ʻa e kāinga ʻo Shirley ke fakatuipauʻi kiate iá, pea ko e hā naʻá ne ʻai ia ke ʻoua ʻe mole ʻene tui kia Sihová?

7 Tauhi maʻu hoʻo taimi-tēpile fakalaumālié. Fakatokangaʻi ʻa e founga naʻe tokoni ai eni kia Shirley, ko ha tuofefine ʻi Pāpua Niu Kini, ʻi heʻene fehangahangai mo e ngaahi faingataʻá. b Naʻe masiva ʻa e fāmili ʻo Shirley pea ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi, naʻa nau fāinga ke maʻu ha meʻakai feʻunga.

ʻI HONO NGAOHIKOVIA ʻA E FANGA TOKOUA FUA FATONGIÁ

8. Ko e hā ʻe hoko nai ki he fanga tokoua fua fatongia ʻi he kautaha ʻa Sihová?

(Saame 31:13) Kuo puke ʻa e fanga tokoua ʻe niʻihi pea tukuakiʻi ko e kau faihia. Ko e kau Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí naʻa nau fehangahangai mo ha tuʻunga meimei tatau ʻi he taimi naʻe tukuakiʻi hala ai ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá pea puké. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻenau fakafeangaí?

9. Naʻe anga-fēfē fakafeangai ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ʻe niʻihi ʻi hono tuku pilīsone ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá?

9 Ko e kau Kalisitiane ʻe niʻihi ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí naʻe ʻikai ke nau toe poupou ki he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻi hono tuku pilīsone ia ʻi Lomá. (2 Tīm. 1:8, 15) Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Naʻa nau maaʻi ʻa Paula koeʻuhí naʻe vakai ʻa e kakaí kiate ia ko ha tokotaha faihia? (2 Tīm. 2:8, 9) Pe naʻa nau manavahē pe ilifia naʻa fakatangaʻi foki mo kinautolu? Pe ko e hā pē ʻenau fakaʻuhingá, sioloto atu ki he anga ʻo e ongoʻi ʻa Paulá. Naʻá ne kātekina ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa lahi pea aʻu ʻo tuku ʻene moʻuí ke ʻi ha tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki koeʻuhi ko kinautolu. (Ngā. 20:18-21; 2 Kol. 1:8) ʻOfa ke ʻoua ʻaupito te tau hangē ko e faʻahinga naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Paula lolotonga ʻa e taimi naʻá ne fiemaʻu tokoni aí! Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke tau manatuʻi ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakatangaʻi ai ʻa e fanga tokoua fua fatongiá?

10 Manatuʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku fakatangaʻi ai kitautolú mo e tokotaha ʻokú ne fakatupunga iá. ʻOku pehē ʻi he 2 Tīmote 3:12: “Ko e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau loto ke moʻui ʻaki ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotua ʻi he fekauʻaki mo Kalaisi Sīsuú, ʻe fakatangaʻi foki kinautolu.” Ko ia ʻoku totonu ke ʻoua te tau ʻohovale ʻi he hoko ʻa e fanga tokoua fua fatongiá ko e tāketi ia ʻa e ʻoho ʻa Sētané. Ko ʻene taumuʻá ke maumauʻi ʻenau anga-tonú pea fakailifiaʻi kitautolu.​—1 Pita 5:8.

Neongo naʻe sēiniʻi ʻa Paula, naʻe poupouʻi loto-toʻa ia ʻe ʻOnesifolo. ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku poupou ʻa hotau fanga tokouá ki honau kaungātui ʻoku tuku pilīsoné, hangē ko ia ʻoku fakatātaaʻi ko ení (Sio ki he palakalafi 11-12)

Ko ha Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí ko ʻOnesifolo naʻe kehe ʻene fakafeangai ʻi hono tuku pilīsone ʻa Paulá. “Naʻe ʻikai te ne maaʻi [ʻa e] ngaahi sēini fakapōpulá” ʻo Paulá. ʻI hono kehé, naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻOnesifolo ʻo kumi kia Paula, pea ʻi heʻene ʻilo iá, naʻá ne kumi ki ha ngaahi founga ʻaonga ke poupou ai kiate ia. ʻI he fai peheé, naʻe tuku ai ʻe ʻOnesifolo ʻene moʻuí tonu ke ʻi ha tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki.
