Ngaahi ʻUlungāanga Kuo Pau Ke Tau Tuli ki Ai
“Tuli ki he maonioni, moe aga [līʻoa] faka-Otua, moe tui, moe ofa, moe faa kataki, moe agavaivai.”—1 TIM. 6:11, PM.
1. Fakatātaaʻi angé ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e foʻi lea “tuli.”
KO E HĀ ʻoku haʻu ki hoʻo fakakaukaú ʻi hoʻo fanongo ki he foʻi lea “tuli”? Mahalo pē te ke fakakaukau ki he taimi ʻo Mōsesé ʻi he taimi naʻe “tuli atu” ai ʻa e kau tau ʻIsipité ki ʻIsileli, ʻo nau tofanga pē ai ʻi he fakatamaki ʻi he Tahi Kulokulá. (Eki. 14:23) Pe te ke manatuʻi nai ʻa e fakatuʻutāmaki naʻe fehangahangai mo ha tokotaha tāmate fāinoa ʻi ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá. Naʻe pau ke ne aʻu vave ki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi kolo hūfanga ʻe ono naʻe ʻosi vaheʻí. He ka ʻikai ʻe “tuli ʻa e fakapo ʻe he koeli tongi-toto ʻoku mafana hono loto, ʻo ne maʻu ia ko e meʻa ʻi he loloa ʻa e hala, ʻo ne taʻi ʻene moʻui.”—Teu. 19:6.
2. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e pale kuo fakaafeʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e kau Kalisitiane ʻe niʻihi ke nau tuli ki aí? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻoku tuku mai ʻe Sihova ki he tokolahi taha ʻo e kau Kalisitiane he ʻaho ní?
2 ʻI he kehe mei he ongo fakatātā Fakatohitapu ʻi ʻolungá, vakai angé ki he fakakaukau lelei naʻe maʻu ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “ʻOu tuli atu pe ki he ngataʻanga, ke maʻu ʻa e pale ʻo hoto ui mei ʻolunga naʻe fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻia Kalaisi Sisu.” (Fili. 3:14) ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko ha kau Kalisitiane pani fakakātoa ʻe toko 144,000, ʻo kau ai ʻa Paula, te nau maʻu ʻa e pale ʻo e moʻui fakahēvaní. Te nau kau fakataha mo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi heʻene Pule Taʻu ʻe Taha Afe ki he māmaní. Ko ha taumuʻa fakaofo moʻoni ē kuo fakaafeʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ke tuli ki ai ʻa e faʻahinga ko iá! Kae kehe, ko e fuʻu tokolahi fau ʻo e kau Kalisitiane moʻoni he ʻaho ní, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻenau ʻamanaki pe taumuʻa kehe. ʻOku tuku mai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻi he anga-ʻofa ʻa e meʻa naʻe fakamoleki ʻe ʻĀtama mo ʻIví, ʻa ia ko e ʻamanaki ʻo e moʻui taʻengata ʻi he moʻui lelei haohaoa ʻi ha māmani palataisi.—Fkh. 7:4, 9; 21:1-4.
3. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakahaaʻi ʻa e houngaʻia ki he ʻofa maʻataʻatā ʻa e ʻOtuá?
3 Ko e faʻahinga angahalaʻia ʻo e tangatá heʻikai lava ke nau maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá ʻi heʻenau ngaahi feinga taʻehaohaoa ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonú. (Ai. 64:6) Ko hono maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá ʻoku malava pē iá ʻi hono maʻu ʻa e tui ki he tokonaki ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa ia ko e fakamoʻuí fakafou ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke tau fai ke fakahaaʻi ai ʻetau houngaʻia ki he ʻofa maʻataʻatā ko ia ʻa e ʻOtuá? Ko e meʻa ʻe taha, ʻe lava ke tau talangofua ki he fekau ko ení: “Tuli ki he maonioni, moe aga [līʻoa] faka-Otua, moe tui, moe ofa, moe faa kataki, moe agavaivai.” (1 Tim. 6:11, PM) Ko e fakakaukau ki he ngaahi ʻulungāanga ko ení ʻe tokoniʻi nai ai kitautolu taki taha ke tau toe fakapapauʻi ange ke hokohoko atu ʻa e tuli ki aí ke “hulu atu.”—1 Tes. 4:1.
“Tuli ki he Maonioni”
4. Ko e hā ʻoku lava ai ke tau fakapapauʻi ko e tuli ki he “maonioni” ʻoku mahuʻinga, pea ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi muʻaki sitepu kuo pau ke fou ai ha taha?
4 ʻI heʻene ongo tohi fakatouʻosi kia Tīmoté, naʻe fakahokohoko ai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga ke tuli ki aí, pea ʻi he taimi taki taha, naʻá ne tomuʻa lave ai ki he “maonioni.” (1 Tim. 6:11, PM; 2 Tim. 2:22) ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻoku toutou fakalototoʻaʻi kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi kupu kehe ʻi he Tohi Tapú ke tau tuli ki he māʻoniʻoní. (Pal. 15:9, PM; Pa 21:21, PM; Ai. 51:1) Ko ha founga ke kamata fai pehē aí ko e “fai ke ʻilo . . . e Otua moʻonia pe taha, pea mo Sisu [naʻá ne] fekau mai ko e Misaia.” (Sione 17:3) Ko e tuli ki he māʻoniʻoní ʻe ueʻi ai ha tokotaha ke ne fai ha meʻa—ke fakatomala mei heʻene ngaahi angahala ʻi he kuohilí pea “tafoki” koeʻuhi ke fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá.—Ng. 3:19.
5. Ko e hā kuo pau ke tau fai ke maʻu ai pea tauhi maʻu ha tuʻunga māʻoniʻoni ʻi he vakai mai ʻa e ʻOtuá?
5 Ko e laui miliona ʻa ia ʻoku nau tuli moʻoni ki he māʻoniʻoní kuo fakatapui ʻenau moʻuí kia Sihova pea fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e fakatapui ko iá ʻaki ʻa e papitaiso ʻi he vaí. Kapau ko ha Kalisitiane ʻosi papitaiso koe he taimí ni, kuó ke fakakaukau ki he fiemaʻu ke fakahaaʻi ʻi hoʻo founga moʻuí ʻokú ke tuli hokohoko ki he māʻoniʻoní? Ko e tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e meʻa ko iá ko hoʻo ʻilo mei he Tohi Tapú ʻa e meʻa “lelei mo e kovi” ʻi he fehangahangai mo e ngaahi fili ʻoku fai ʻi he moʻuí. (Lau ʻa e Hepelu 5:14.) Ko e fakatātaá, kapau ko ha Kalisitiane teʻeki mali koe ʻokú ke taʻumotuʻa feʻunga ke mali, ʻokú ke fakapapauʻi kakato ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei ha fepikitaki fakaemanako pē ki ha taha ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai ko ha Kalisitiane ʻosi papitaiso? Te ke pehē, kapau te ke tuli ki he māʻoniʻoní.—1 Kol.1Ko 7:39.
6. Ko e tuli moʻoni ki he māʻoniʻoní ʻoku kau ai ʻa e hā?
6 Ko e māʻoniʻoní ʻoku kehe ia mei he hoko ʻo māʻoniʻoni-fakaekitá pe “maʻoniʻoni fau.” (Koh. 7:16) Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo hono fai fakahāhā ʻa e faʻahinga māʻoniʻoni ko iá koeʻuhi ke te hā lelei ange ai ʻi he niʻihi kehé. (Mt. 6:1) Ko e tuli moʻoni ki he māʻoniʻoní ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e lotó—ko hono fakatonutonu ʻo e ngaahi fakakaukau, tōʻonga, fakaueʻiloto mo e ngaahi holi ʻoku halá. Kapau ʻoku tau hanganaki ngāue ki hono fai ení, ʻoku ngalingali ai ʻe ʻikai te tau fai ha ngaahi angahala mamafa. (Lau ʻa e Palovepi 4:23; fakafehoanaki mo e Semisi 1:14, 15.) ʻIkai ko ia pē, ʻe tāpuakiʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova pea tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi heʻetau tuli ki he ngaahi ʻulungāanga mahuʻinga kehe faka-Kalisitiané.
‘Tuli ki he Aga Līʻoa Faka-Otuá’
7. Ko e hā ʻa e ‘aga līʻoa faka-Otuá’?
7 Ko e anga-līʻoá ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e faivelenga ʻi he fakatapuí mo e mateaki. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he tikisinale Tohi Tapu ʻe taha ko e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ʻoku liliu ko e ‘aga līʻoa faka-Otuá’ ko e “lehilehiʻi lelei mo koloaʻaki ʻo tauhi maʻu ʻa e manavahē ki he ʻOtuá.” Naʻe faʻa ʻikai ke lava ʻo fakahāhā ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ʻa e anga-līʻoa peheé, hangē ko ia ʻoku hā ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngāue talangataʻa naʻa mo e ʻi he hili hono fakatauʻatāinaʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá mei ʻIsipité.
8. (a) Ko e angahala ʻa ʻĀtamá naʻe langaʻi hake ai ʻa e fehuʻi ko e hā? (e) Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakaeʻa ʻa e tali ki he “misiteli” toputapu ko ení?
8 ʻI he laui afeʻi taʻu hili ʻa e faiangahala ʻa e tangata haohaoa ko ʻĀtamá, naʻe lava ke langaʻi hake ai ʻa e fehuʻi, “ʻE lava ke fakahāhā ʻe ha faʻahinga tangata pē ʻa e anga-līʻoa haohaoa fakaʻotuá?” ʻI he faai mai ʻa e ngaahi senitulí, naʻe ʻikai malava ʻe ha tangata angahalaʻia ke ne moʻui ʻi ha moʻui anga-līʻoa fakaʻotua haohaoa. Ka ʻi heʻene taimi kotofa pē ʻaʻaná, naʻe fakaeʻa ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e tali ki he “misiteli” toputapu ko ení. Naʻá ne hiki ʻa e moʻui ʻa hono ʻAlo tofu-pē-taha-ne-fakatupu fakahēvaní ki he manava ʻo Melé ke fanauʻi mai ko ha tangata haohaoa. ʻI he kotoa ʻo ʻene moʻui fakamāmaní ʻo kau ai ʻene pekia fakamaá, naʻe fakahaaʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻuhinga ke faivelenga ai ʻi he fakatapuí pea mateaki kakato ki he ʻOtua moʻoní. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻi heʻene ngaahi lotú ʻa ʻene ʻapasia ki heʻene Tamai fakahēvani ʻofá. (Mt. 11:25; Sione 12:27, 28) Ko ia ai, naʻe fakamānavaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Paula ke ne lea fekauʻaki mo e “lotu” pe anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá ʻi hono fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻalunga moʻui alafaʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsuú.—Lau ʻa e 1 Timote 3:16.
9. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau tuli ki he anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá?
9 ʻI hotau tuʻunga angahalaʻiá, heʻikai lava ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotua haohaoa. Ka ʻe lava ke tau tuli ki ai. ʻOku fiemaʻu heni ke tau muimui ki he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Kalaisí ʻi he ofi taha ʻe ala lavá. (1 Pita 2:21) Ko ia ai, heʻikai ke tau hangē ko e kau mālualoí ʻa ia ʻoku nau “maʻu ʻa e ngeʻesi ʻo e lotu [pe ngali anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá], ka kuo nau liʻaki hono kakano.” (2 Tim. 3:5) ʻOku ʻikai ʻuhinga eni iá ko e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotua moʻoní ʻoku ʻikai hano kaunga ʻe taha ki he ngaahi fōtunga ʻoku hā ki tuʻá. ʻOku kau moʻoni ia ki ai. Hangē ko ení, pe ʻoku tau fili ha kofu mali pe fili ʻa e meʻa ke tuí lolotonga ʻetau faifakataú, ko hotau fōtungá ʻoku totonu ke fehoanaki maʻu pē mo ʻetau taukaveʻi ʻoku tau “tauhi ki he ʻOtua.” (1 Tim. 2:9, 10) ʻIo, ko e tuli ki he anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke tau fakakaukau ki he ngaahi tuʻunga māʻoniʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻetau moʻui fakaʻahó.
“Tuli ki he . . . Tui”
10. Ko e hā kuo pau ke tau fai ke tauhi ai ke mālohi ʻetau tuí?
10 Lau ʻa e Loma 10:17. Ke maʻu pea tauhi maʻu ʻa e tui mālohí, kuo pau ki ha Kalisitiane ke ne hanganaki fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi moʻoni mahuʻinga ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. Kuo tokonaki mai ʻe he “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto” ʻa e ngaahi tohi lelei lahi. Ko e tohi makehe ai ʻe tolu Ko e Moʻungaʻi Tangata Lahi Taha Kuo Moʻui Mai, Ako mei he Faiako Lahí, mo e “Come Be My Follower,” ko e ngaahi voliume ia kuo faʻufaʻu ke tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke tau hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi lelei ange ʻa Kalaisi pea malava ai ke faʻifaʻitaki kiate ia. (Mt. 24:45-47, PM) ʻOku toe fokotuʻutuʻu ʻe he kalasi tamaioʻeikí ʻa e ngaahi fakataha, ngaahi ʻasemipilī mo e ngaahi fakataha-lahi, ʻa ia ko e lahi ai ʻoku fakamamafaʻi ai ʻa e “folofola ʻa Kalaisi.” ʻOkú ke sio ki ha ngaahi founga pē ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ke ngāue ʻaonga lahi ange ʻaki ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni ʻi he ‘ʻasili hoʻo tokanga’ ki he meʻa ʻoku tokonaki mai ʻe he ʻOtuá?—Hep. 2:1.
11. Ko e hā ʻa e kaunga ʻa e lotú mo e talangofuá ki heʻetau tuli ki he tuí?
11 Ko e lotú ko e toe tokoni ia ʻe taha ki hono langa hake ʻo e tui mālohí. Naʻe kōlenga ʻi he taimi ʻe taha kia Sīsū ʻe hono kau muimuí: “Ke ke fakalahi ʻemau tui.” ʻE lava ke tau kōlenga fakatōkilalo ki he ʻOtuá ke ne fai ʻa e meʻa tatau. (Luke 17:5) Ke maʻu iá, ʻoku totonu ke tau lotu ʻo kole ʻa e tokoni ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá; ko e tuí ko e tafaʻaki ia ʻe taha ʻo e “fua oe Laumalie.” (Kal. 5:22, PM) ʻIkai ko ia pē, ko e talangofua ki he ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku fakaivimālohiʻi ai ʻetau tuí. Hangē ko ení, ʻoku tau fai nai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá. Ngalingali ʻe fakatupu ʻe he meʻa ko iá ʻiate kitautolu ha fiefia lahi. Pea ʻi heʻetau fakakaukauloto ki he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku hoko ʻi he “fuofua kumi ae buleaga oe Otua, mo ene maonioni,” ʻe tupulaki ai ʻetau tuí.—Mt. 6:33, PM.
“Tuli ki he . . . Ofa”
12, 13. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e fekau foʻou ʻa Sīsuú? (e) ʻI he ngaahi founga mahuʻinga fē kuo pau ke tau tuli ai ki he ʻofa faka-Kalaisí?
12 Lau ʻa e 1 Timote 5:1, 2. Naʻe fai ʻe Paula ʻa e akonaki ʻaonga ki he founga ʻoku lava ai ke fakahaaʻi ʻe he kau Kalisitiané ʻa e feʻofaʻakí.

(Sione 13:34) Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Sioné: “Ka ʻilonga ʻa ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻa e meʻa ʻo mamani, mo ne sio ki hono tokoua ʻoku ne masiva, ka ne taʻofi hono fatu meiate ia, pea ʻoku nofo fēfē ʻi he toko taha ko ia ʻa e ʻofa ki he ʻOtua?” (1 Sione 3:17) ʻE lava ke ke fakakaukau ki he ngaahi taimi kuó ke fakahāhā ai ʻi ha founga ʻaonga ʻa e ʻofá?
13 Ko e toe founga ʻe taha ʻa ia ʻoku tau tuli ai ki he ʻofá ko e fakamolemolé, ʻo ʻikai tukulotoʻi ʻa e ʻita ʻi hotau fanga tokouá.

Te ke fakamolemoleʻi ia?

(Fkh. 3:10) Ko e moʻoni, naʻe akonaki ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo e fiemaʻu ke kātakí—ko ha ʻulungāanga ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke ʻoua te tau foʻi ʻi he fehangahangai mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí pea mo e fakatauelé. Ko e fanga tokoua ʻi he fakatahaʻanga ʻi Filatelifia ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí kuo pau naʻa nau fakahaaʻi ʻa e kātaki alafaʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi lahi ʻo e tuí. Ko ia ai, naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu ʻa e tokoni lahi ange lolotonga ha ʻahiʻahi lahi ange ʻe hoko mai.—Luke 16:10.

15 Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Sīsū ko hono kau muimuí te nau fehangahangai mo e tāufehiʻa mei he ngaahi kāinga taʻetuí pea mo e māmaní fakalūkufua, ko ia ai naʻe tuʻo ua ʻene fakalototoʻaʻi kinautolu ʻi he founga ko ení: “Ko ia te ne kataki ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga, ko e toko taha ko ia te ne moʻui.” (Mt. 10:22; 24:13) Naʻe toe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e founga ʻe lava ai ke maʻu ʻi he taimi ko iá ʻe heʻene kau ākongá ʻa e mālohi ʻoku fiemaʻú ke kātaki ai. ʻI he talanoa fakatātā ʻe taha, naʻá ne fakatatau ai ʻa e kelekele makamaká ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau “tali fiefia ʻa e folofola” ʻa e ʻOtuá ka ʻoku nau tō ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau fehangahangai ai mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻo e tuí. Kae kehe, naʻá ne fakatatau ʻa hono kau muimui faitōnungá ki he kelekele lelei ʻi heʻenau “pukenimaʻi” ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá pea “fua heʻenau kitaki” pe kātakí.—Luke 8:13, 15.
