Ko e hā ia? ʻOku tali ʻe he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá: “Kapau te ke . . . haʻaki ho leʻo kia Fakahinohino; kapau te ke haʻao ia hange ha haʻao siliva, pea hakule ki ai hange ko hoʻo fai ki ha koloa fufu: te ke toki laveʻi ʻa e ʻapasia kia Sihova, pea maʻu ʻa e ʻiloʻi ʻo e ʻOtua.

Ko e meʻaʻofa ko iá—ʻa e ʻilo ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá—ʻoku fakahoa ia ki he “koloa fufu.” Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

(Aisea 30:20, 21; 48:17, 18) Ko ia ai, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e tataki lelei ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau fekuki ai mo e ngaahi loto-moʻua ʻi he moʻuí pea ke tuli ai ki ha ʻalunga ʻokú ne pouaki ʻa e fiefia mo e fiemālie moʻoní. Hiliō he meʻa kotoa, ko ʻetau ako ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá kuó ne ʻai ke tau malava ke hoko ai ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga fakaofo ʻo Sihová pea ke ʻunuʻunu ofi ai kiate ia.

(Isikeli 18:4) Neongo ia, ko e tui loi ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻi loto ʻi ha tokotaha ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻene moʻuí ʻi he hili ʻa e maté ʻoku tali ia ʻe he lahi taha ʻo e ngaahi lotu ʻi he māmaní.

Kuo tāpuakiʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻa e fakamaama ki he ngaahi moʻoni fakalaumālie ʻoku ʻikai mahinoʻi ʻe he tokolahi ʻo e “kakai ʻoku poto mo ʻiloʻilo.” (Mātiu 11:25) He faitāpuekina moʻoni ē ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ofi kiate iá!

8 Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku ofi kia Sihová ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e toe tāpuaki ʻe taha—ko e maluʻi fakaʻotuá. Ko e tokotaha-tohi-saame ko Tēvitá, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ke sola ki he faingataʻá, naʻá ne tohi: “ʻOku ofi leva ʻa Sihova ki he kakai kotoa ʻoku tautapa kiate ia; ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai moʻoni ʻenau tautapa. Ko e holi ʻa e kakai ʻoku ʻapasia kiate ia ʻoku ne fakaai; pea ʻoku ongo kiate ia ʻenau kaila, ʻo ne fakamoʻui. ʻOku tauhi [“maluʻi,” NW] ʻe Sihova ʻa e kakai ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia.” (Sāme 145:18-20) ʻIo, ʻoku ofi ʻa Sihova ki he faʻahinga ʻoku ʻofa kiate iá pea ko ia ai, ʻe lava ke vave ʻa ʻene tali ki heʻenau ngaahi tangi ki ha tokoní.

Ka neongo ia, ʻoku tokonaki moʻoni mai ʻe Sihova ʻa e maluʻi fakasino maʻa hono kakaí ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha kulupú. He ko ē, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne fakaʻatā ʻa e Tēvoló ke ne fakaʻauha ʻosi ʻa e kau lotu moʻoní mei he māmaní! (2 Pita 2:9) Hiliō he meʻa kotoa, ʻoku maluʻi fakalaumālie kitautolu ʻe Sihova. ʻOkú ne teuʻi kitautolu ʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau fiemaʻú ke kātekina ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí pea ke maluʻi hotau vahaʻangatae mo iá. ʻI he lele lōloá, ko e maluʻi fakalaumālié ʻa e faʻahinga maluʻi mahuʻinga tahá.

11 Kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi tokonaki lahi ki hono maluʻi fakalaumālie ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ofi kiate iá. Fakafou ʻi heʻene folofolá ʻa e Tohitapú, ʻokú ne ʻomai ai kia kitautolu ʻa e poto ke fekuki ai mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kehekehe. (Semisi 1:2-5) Ko hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e akonaki ʻaonga ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e faikehekehe. Tānaki atu ki ai, ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova “ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia.” (Luke 11:13) Ko e laumālie ko iá ko e ivi mālohi taha ia ʻi he ʻunivēsí, ko ia ʻe lava ke ne teuʻi moʻoni kitautolu ke tau fehangahangai lavameʻa ai mo ha ʻahiʻahi pe fakatauele pē ʻe hoko mai nai kia kitautolu. Fakafou ʻia Kalaisi, ʻoku tokonaki mai ʻe Sihova ʻa e “meʻaʻofa ʻi he kau tangata.” (Efeso 4:8, NW) Ko e kau tangata taau fakalaumālie ko ení ʻoku nau feinga ke tapua atu ʻa e manavaʻofa lahi ʻa Sihová tonu ʻi hono tokoniʻi ʻa e kaungālotú.—Semisi 5:14, 15.

(Palovepi 10:22; Mātiu 6:3, 4; Luke 14:12-14) ʻIo, ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e manavaʻofa ki ha kaungālotu ʻoku masivá, ʻoku aʻu ia ki he loto ʻo Sihová. He houngaʻia ē ko kitautolu ke ʻiloʻi ko ʻetau ngaahi ngāue faimēsí ʻoku ʻikai ke taʻefakatokangaʻi ia ʻe heʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní!—Mātiu 5:7.

19 ʻOku fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻe Sihova tautefito ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau fai maʻa hono Puleʻangá. ʻI heʻetau ʻunuʻunu ofi kia Sihová, ʻoku fakanatula pē ʻa ʻetau loto ke ngāueʻaki hotau taimí, iví, mo e koloá ke kau ʻi he kakato taha ʻe ala lavá ʻi he ngāue malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá mo e ngaohi-ākongá. (Mātiu 28:19, 20) ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, te tau ongoʻi nai ai ʻoku tau fakahoko ʻa e meʻa siʻisiʻi. Ko hotau loto taʻehaohaoá te ne fakatupunga nai ke tau fifili pe ʻoku leleiʻia ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻetau ngaahi feingá. (1 Sione 3:19, 20) Ka ʻoku tuku tauhi ʻe Sihova ʻa e meʻaʻofa kotoa pē—tatau ai pē pe ko e hā hono siʻisiʻí—ʻa ia ʻoku tupu mei ha loto ʻoku ueʻi ʻe he ʻofá. (Maake 12:41-44) ʻOku fakapapauʻi mai ʻe he Tohitapú kia kitautolu: “Talaʻehai ʻoku fai taʻetotonu ʻa e ʻOtua ke ne fakangaloʻi hoʻomou ngaue, mo e ʻofa ki hono huafa naʻe ha ʻiate kimoutolu.” (Hepelu 6:10) Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku manatuʻi mo fakapaleʻi ʻe Sihova naʻa mo e ngāue siʻisiʻi taha ʻoku fai ʻi he poupou ki hono Puleʻangá. Tānaki atu ki he ngaahi tāpuaki lahi fakalaumālie he taimi ní, ʻe lava ke tau hanga atu ki he fiefia ʻi he moʻuí ʻi he māmani foʻou ka hoko maí, ʻa ia ʻe folahi nima-homo mai ai ʻe Sihova ʻa hono nimá ʻo fakatōliʻa ʻa e ngaahi holi kotoa ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku ofi kiate iá!—Sāme 145:16; 2 Pita 3:13.
20. ʻI he kotoa ʻo e taʻu 2003, ʻe anga-fēfē nai ʻetau manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo ʻetau konga tohi fakataʻú, pea ko e ha hono olá?
20 ʻI he kotoa ʻo e taʻu 2003, tau ʻeke hifo angé kia kitautolu pe ʻoku tau fai ha feinga hokohoko ke ʻunuʻunu ofi ki heʻetau Tamai fakahēvaní. Kapau ʻoku pehē, ʻe lava ke tau fakapapauʻi te ne tali ki ai ʻo hangē ko ia kuó ne talaʻofá.

Ko e ngaahi tāpuaki lahi he taimí ni mo e ʻamanaki ke ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ange ai pē kia Sihova ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻitānití!
