“Ke hoko mai ho Puleʻangá. Ke fai ho finangaló ʻi māmani, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻi Hēvaní.”—MT. 6:10, Ko e Taulua.

ʻI HE taimi naʻe fai ai ʻe Sīsū ʻene Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá, naʻá ne fakakau ai ha sīpinga lotu ʻa ia naʻe fakanounou ai ʻene ngaahi akonaki tefitó.

Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu ke fakahaofi mei ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá? Pea ʻe anga-fēfē hono tokonaki mai ʻe he Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa e fakahaofí?
2. ʻOku mahuʻinga fēfē ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e Puleʻanga?

Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku mahuʻinga taha ai ʻa e pōpoaki ko iá ʻi he māmaní! Laka hake ʻi he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻe 100,000 ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻi māmani lahi, ʻoku fakafuofua ki he toko fitu miliona ʻo e kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku nau kau atu ʻi he ngāue fakamalanga ʻikai alafakatataua ko ia, ko hono talaki ki he niʻihi kehé kuo ʻosi fokotuʻu ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.

3, 4. Ko e hā leva ʻe iku ki aí ʻi he taimi ʻe fai ai e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he māmaní?
3 Ko e hā ʻe hoko ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi he taimi ʻe fai ai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he māmaní? ʻE hanga ʻe Sihova ʻo “holoholo ʻa e loʻimata kotoa pē mei honau mata, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha mate, pea ʻe ʻikai toe ai ha mamahi pe ha tangi pe ha ongosia.” (Fkh. 21:4) ʻE ʻikai ke toe puke pe mate ʻa e kakaí koeʻuhi ko e angahala tukufakaholó mo e taʻehaohaoá. Ko e kau mate ko ia ʻoku ʻi he manatu ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻe ʻi ai ʻa e faingamālie ke nau moʻui taʻengata ai, he ʻoku talaʻofa mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú: “ʻE faifai pea hoko ha toetuʻu ʻa e angatonu mo e angahala fakatouʻosi.” (Ng. 24:15) ʻE ʻikai toe ʻi ai ha tau, mahamahaki, pe fiekaia, pea ʻe liliu ʻa e foʻi māmani ke hoko ko ha palataisi. Naʻa mo e fanga manu ʻoku fakatuʻutāmaki he taimi ní te nau melino mo e tangatá pea ʻiate kinautolu.—Sāme 46:9; 72:16; Ai. 11:6-9; 33:24; Luke 23:43.

Ko ia ʻoku fakamatala mai ai ʻi heʻene Folofolá: “Mou kumi kia Jihova, akimoutolu kotoabe ae agamalu oe fonua . . .
