“Te mau ʻalu kia hai? ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e moʻui taʻengata.”—SIONE 6:68.
1. Ko e hā naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Pita ʻi he liʻaki ʻe ha kau ākonga tokolahi ʻa Sīsuú?
NAʻE tuʻo taha hono liʻaki ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻe ha kau ākonga tokolahi ʻa ia naʻa nau talitekeʻi ʻa e taha ʻo ʻene ngaahi akonakí. “ʻE ʻikai te mou fie ō mo kimoutolu, ʻo?” ko ʻene fehuʻi ia ki heʻene kau ʻapositoló. Naʻe tali mai ʻe Pita: “ʻEiki, te mau ʻalu kia hai? ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e moʻui taʻengata.” (Sione 6:51-69) Naʻe ʻikai ke toe ʻi ai ha feituʻu kehe ia ke ō ki ai. Naʻe ʻikai ke maʻu ʻe he lotu faka-Siú ia ʻa e “ngaahi lea ʻo e moʻui taʻengata” ʻi he taimi ko iá, pea ko e ngaahi lea ko iá heʻikai malava moʻoni ke maʻu ia he ʻahó ni ʻi Pāpilone ko e Lahi, ʻa e ʻemipaea ʻi māmani ʻo e lotu loí. Ki ha taha pē kuo hē mei he tākanga ʻa e ʻOtuá ka ʻokú ne loto ke fakahōifuaʻi ʻa Sihova, “kuo taimi leva ke ʻā hake” pea foki ki he tākangá.—Loma 13:11, King James Version.
2. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke manatuʻí ʻi he fekauʻaki mo ha meʻa fakapulipuli pe fakaefakamaau?
2 Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻene tokanga ki he fanga sipi mole ʻo ʻIsilelí. (Lau ʻa e Isikeli 34:15, 16.) ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kau mātuʻa Kalisitiané ha holi mo ha ngafa ke tokoniʻi ha taha hangē ha sipí ʻa ia kuo hē mei he tākangá. Kapau ʻoku nau vaheʻi ha tokotaha malanga ke ako mo ha tokotaha ʻikai longomoʻui ʻoku fiemaʻu tokoni, ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke faí kapau ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he faiakó ia ne fai ʻe he tokotahá ha angahala mamafa? ʻI he ʻikai ke ne fai ha akonaki fekauʻaki mo ha faʻahinga meʻa fakaefakamaau pe fakapulipuli, ʻoku totonu ki he tokotaha malangá ke ne fokotuʻu ange ke lea ki he kau mātuʻá. Kapau heʻikai te ne fai ia, ʻoku totonu leva ki he tokotaha malangá ke ne fakahā ia ki he kau mātuʻá.—Liv. 5:1; Kal. 6:1.
3. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e tangata naʻe ʻi ai ʻene fanga sipi ʻe toko 100 ʻi hono ʻiloʻi ʻa e sipi ʻe taha naʻe molé?
3 ʻI he kupu ki muʻá, naʻe lave ai ki he talanoa fakatātā ʻa Sīsū fekauʻaki mo ha tangata naʻe ʻi ai ʻene fanga sipi ʻe toko 100. ʻI he mole ʻa e taha ai mei he lotoʻaá, naʻá ne tuku ʻa e toko 99 pea kumi ki he sipi naʻe molé. He fiefia lahi ē ko e tangata ko iá ʻi heʻene ʻilo iá! (Luke 15:4-7) ʻOku tau maʻu ʻa e fiefia meimei tatau ʻi he foki mai ʻa ha taha ʻo e fanga sipi ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa ia naʻe mole mei he tākangá. ʻI hono ueʻi ʻe he ʻofá, kuo ʻaʻahi nai ai ʻa e kau mātuʻá mo e kau mēmipa kehe ʻo e fakatahaʻangá ki he tokotaha ʻikai longomoʻuí. ʻOku nau kau mo kinautolu ʻi he fie sio ki he tokotahá ʻokú ne foki mai ki he lotoʻaá pea maʻu ʻa e poupou, maluʻi mo e tāpuaki ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Teu. 33:27; Sāme 91:14; Pal. 10:22) Kapau ʻoku nau maʻu ha faingamālie ke tokoni ʻi he tafaʻaki ko ʻení, ko e hā ʻe lava ke nau faí?
4. Ko e hā ʻoku lava ke ʻiloʻi mei he Kaletia 6:2, 5?
4 ʻE lava nai ke nau fakalototoʻaʻi ha taha ke foki ki he fakatahaʻangá ʻaki hono fakahāhā anga-ʻofa kiate ia ʻoku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻi Heʻene fanga sipí pea ʻokú ne fiemaʻu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa pē ko ia ʻoku malava ke tau faí. ʻOku kau heni ʻa hono ako ʻa e Tohi Tapú, maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané, pea malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá. ʻE feʻunga nai ke lau ʻa e Kaletia 6:2, 5 pea fakahā ʻoku malava ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ke nau fefuaʻaki ʻenau ngaahi kavengá, ka ʻe “taki taha fua” hono fatongia fakalaumālie pē ʻoʻona. Heʻikai malava ke faitōnunga ha taha ki he ʻOtuá maʻatautolu.

5, 6. (a) Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ke tau fanongo tokanga ki he fakamatala ʻa e ngaahi kaungātui ʻoku ʻikai longomoʻuí?

5 Ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e founga ke tokoni ai ki he kaungātui ʻoku ʻikai longomoʻuí, ʻoku fiemaʻu ki he kau mātuʻá pea mo e kau malanga matuʻotuʻa kehé ke nau fanongo tokanga ʻi hono fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he faʻahinga tāutaha peheé ʻenau ngaahi ongoʻí. Pehē pē ko ha tokotaha mātuʻa koe ʻokú ke ʻaʻahi ki ha ongo meʻa mali ʻokú na mavahe mei he fakatahaʻangá koeʻuhi kuo ʻai kinaua ʻe he “lotomoʻua ki he moʻui” ke na hoko ʻo ʻikai longomoʻui. (Luke 21:34) Kuo hanga nai ʻe he ngaahi palopalema fakapaʻangá pe ko e fakaʻau ke lahi ange ʻa e ngaahi fatongia fakafāmilí ʻo ʻai kinaua ke na tō ki he ʻikai longomoʻui fakalaumālié. ʻOkú na ongoʻi nai ha fiemaʻu ki ha kiʻi mālōlō, ka ʻe lava nai ke ke fakahaaʻi atu ko ʻena mavahé ʻoku ʻikai ko e talí ia. (Lau ʻa e Palovepi 18:1.) ʻE lava ke ke ʻeke fakapotopoto kiate kinaua: “ʻOkú mo fiefia ange talu mei hoʻomo tuku hono maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakatahá? ʻOku lelei ange hoʻomo moʻui fakafāmilí? ʻOku kei hoko ko hoʻomo mālohingá ia ʻa e fiefia ʻia Sihová?”—Nehe. 8:10.
6 Ko e fakakaukauloto ki he ngaahi fehuʻi peheé ʻe tokoniʻi nai ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻikai longomoʻuí ke nau sio kuo hōloa honau tuʻunga fakalaumālié mo ʻenau fiefiá tupu mei he ʻikai ke nau feohi mo e fakatahaʻangá. (Mt. 5:3; Hep. 10:24, 25) ʻE lava nai ke tokoniʻi kinautolu ai ke nau ʻiloʻi ko e ʻikai ke kau ʻi he malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí kuo iku ai ki he mole ʻenau fiefiá. (Mt. 28:19, 20) Ko ia ai, ko e hā ʻa e ʻalunga fakapotopoto ke nau fou aí?
7. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke tau fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e faʻahinga kuo nau hē mei he tākangá ke nau faí?
7 Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Mou lamasi kimoutolu, naʻa ʻiloange ʻe mafatukituki homou loto, ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa kai, mo e faʻa inu, mo e faʻa lotomoʻua ki he moʻui ni . . . Ka mou ʻā pe, mo lotu ʻi he taimi kotoa pe, koeʻuhi ke mou lava ke hao mei he ngāhi meʻa ko ia fulipe ʻoku ene ke hoko.” (Luke 21:34-36) Ko e faʻahinga ko ia kuo nau hē mei he tākangá ka ʻoku nau loto ke maʻu ʻa e fiefia naʻa nau maʻu ki muʻá ʻe lava ke fakalototoʻaʻi ke nau lotu ʻo kole ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní pea mo e tokoni ʻa e ʻOtuá pea nau ngāue ʻo fehoanaki mo ʻenau ngaahi lotú.—Luke 11:13.
Naʻa Nau Tūkia?
8, 9. ʻE anga-fēfē nai ha fakaʻuhinga ʻo ha mātuʻa mo ha taha naʻe tūkia?
8 Koeʻuhi ʻoku taʻehaohaoa ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e fepaki ʻi he angaʻitangatá, pea ʻe tūkia nai ai ha taha. Kuo tūkia nai ʻa e niʻihi ʻi he taimi naʻe fai ai ʻe ha taha ʻoku tokaʻi ʻi he fakatahaʻangá ha ʻulungāanga taʻefakaʻotua. Kapau kuo uesia ha taha ʻikai longomoʻui ʻi ha founga pehē, ʻe fakahaaʻi nai ʻe he tokotaha mātuʻa ʻe ʻaʻahi ki aí ʻo pehē ko Sihová ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakatupunga ha taha ke tūkia. Ko ia ko e hā ke tuʻusi ai ʻe ha taha hono vahaʻangatae mo e ʻOtuá mo ʻEne kakaí? ʻI hono kehé, ʻikai ʻoku totonu ke te kei hanganaki tauhi ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻi he loto-falala ko e “Fakamāu ʻo mamani katoa” ʻokú ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe hokó pea te ne fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ʻi he founga totonú? (Sen. 18:25; Kol. 3:23-25) Kapau ʻoku tūkia moʻoni ha taha ʻo ne tō, heʻikai te ne kei nofo ai pē ʻi he tuʻunga ko iá ʻi he ʻiloʻilo pau ʻo taʻefai ha feinga ʻe taha ke mālanga hake.
9 ʻI ha feinga ke fai ha tokoni fakalaumālie, ʻe lave nai ha tokotaha mātuʻa ʻo pehē ʻi he faai mai ʻa e taimí, kuo ʻilo ai ʻe he niʻihi ko e meʻa ko ia naʻá ne fakatūkiaʻi kinautolú ʻoku ʻikai ke kei fuʻu mahuʻinga ia. Ko hono moʻoní, kuo ʻikai nai ke kei ʻi ai ʻa e meʻa ia naʻe fai ai ʻa e tūkiá. Kapau kuo tūkia ha taha koeʻuhi ko ha akonaki kuo fai kiate ia, ʻe fakatupunga nai ia ʻe he fakalaulauloto mo faʻa lotú ke ne fakaʻosiʻaki ʻokú ne tuha mo e akonaki ko iá pea ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke ne fakaʻatā ʻa e akonakí ke ne tūkia ai.—Sāme 119:165; Hep. 12:5-13.

10, 11. Ko e hā ʻa e fakaʻuhinga ʻe ola lelei nai ʻi he feinga ke tokoniʻi ha taha naʻá ne maʻu ʻe ia ha mahino kehe ki ha meʻa ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú?
10 Kuo liʻaki nai ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e tākanga ʻa e ʻOtuá koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau loto-tatau ki he niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú. Ko e kau ʻIsileli naʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi mei he nofo pōpula ʻi ʻIsipité naʻe “galo leva iate kinatolu [ʻa e] gaahi gaue [ʻa e ʻOtuá]” maʻanautolú pea “ikai te nau tatali ki he ene akonaki.” (Sāme 106:13, PM) ʻE ʻaonga nai ke fakamanatu ki ha taha ʻikai longomoʻui ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto” ʻa e meʻakai fakalaumālie lelei moʻoni. (Mt. 24:45, PM) Ko e founga ia naʻe fuofua ako ai ʻe he tokotahá ni ʻa e moʻoní. Ko ia ko e hā ka ʻikai te ne fakapapauʻi ai ke toe ʻaʻeva ʻi he moʻoní?—2 Sione 4.
11 ʻI he feinga ke tokoniʻi ʻa e faʻahinga kuo nau hē mei he tākanga ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻe lave nai ʻa e tokotaha mātuʻá ki he kau ākonga ko ia naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa Sīsū koeʻuhi ko ʻenau talitekeʻi ʻa e taha ʻo ʻene ngaahi akonakí. (Sione 6:53, 66) ʻI hono tuʻusi ʻa e feohi mo Kalaisi mo ʻene kau muimui faitōnungá, naʻe mole ai honau tuʻunga fakalaumālié mo ʻenau fiefiá. Kuo maʻu ʻe he faʻahinga ko ia kuo nau tuku ʻenau feohi mo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ha toe feituʻu kehe ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻakai fakalaumālie mahu ai? ʻIkai, he ʻoku ʻikai ha toe feituʻu ia!
Naʻe Fekauʻaki mo ha ʻUlungāanga Taʻetotonu?
12, 13. Kapau ʻoku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe ha taha kuo hē mei he tākangá naʻá ne fai ha angahala mamafa, ʻe malava fēfē nai ke tokoniʻi ia?
12 ʻOku tuku ʻe he niʻihi tāutaha ʻenau malangá mo e maʻu ʻo e ngaahi fakatahá koeʻuhi kuo nau fai ha angahala mamafa. ʻOku nau fakakaukau nai kapau te nau vete ʻenau faihalá ki he kau mātuʻá, ʻe tuʻusi kinautolu. Ka heʻikai ke kapusi kinautolu mei he fakatahaʻangá kapau kuo nau taʻofi ʻa e tōʻonga taʻefakatohitapú pea nau fakatomala moʻoni. (2 Kol. 7:10, 11) ʻI hono kehé, ʻe toe talitali lelei mai kinautolu, pea ʻe ʻoatu ʻe he kau mātuʻá kiate kinautolu ʻa e tokoni fakalaumālie ʻoku nau fiemaʻú.
13 Kapau ko ha tokotaha malanga matuʻotuʻa koe kuo vaheʻi atu ke ke tokoniʻi ha taha ʻikai longomoʻui, ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke ke faí kapau ʻokú ne tala atu kuó ne fai ha angahala mamafa? Hangē ko ia naʻe lave ki ai ʻanenai angé, ʻi he ʻikai ke ke toe kaunoa ki he tuʻunga ko iá, tala ange ki ai ke ne talanoa ki he kau mātuʻá. Kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ne loto ke fai pehē, te ke fakahāhā hoʻo tokanga ki he huafa ʻo Sihová pea mo e lelei fakalaumālie ʻa e fakatahaʻangá ʻaki hoʻo ngāue ʻo fehoanaki mo e fakahinohino ʻa e ʻOtuá fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa peheé. (Lau ʻa e Livitiko 5:1.) ʻE ʻilo ʻe he kau mātuʻá ʻa e founga ke tokoniʻi ai ha taha ʻokú ne loto ke foki mai pea moʻui ʻo fakatatau ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻE fiemaʻu nai ha akonaki anga-ʻofa. (Hep. 12:7-11) Kapau ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he tokotahá kuó ne faiangahala ki he ʻOtuá, kuó ne tuku ʻa e faihalá, pea ʻoku fakatomala moʻoni, ʻe tokoniʻi ia ʻe he kau mātuʻá, pea ʻe lava ke ne maʻu ʻa e fakamolemole ʻa Sihová.—Ai. 1:18; 55:7; Sem. 5:13-16.
