Tou Fakaʼapaʼapa Ki “Te Meʼa ʼAe Neʼe Fakatahiʼi e Te ʼAtua”
“Ko te meʼa ʼae neʼe fakatahiʼi e te ʼAtua, ke ʼaua naʼa veteki e te tagata.”—MALEKO 10:9.
1, 2. Kotea ʼae ʼe fakalotomalohiʼi ai tatou ia Hepeleo 13:4 ke tou fai?
ʼE TOU fiafia fuli ʼi te fakaʼapaʼapaʼi ʼo Sehova. ʼE tuha ia mo te fakaʼapaʼapa pea ʼe ina fakapapau ʼe toe fakaʼapaʼapa mai anai. (1 Samuele 2:30; Taaga Lea 3:9; Fakaha 4:11) Pea tahi, ʼe loto e Sehova ke tou fakaʼapaʼapa ki niʼihi, ohage la ko te hahaʼi ʼae ʼe natou gaue ki te Puleʼaga. (Loma 12:10; 13:7) Kae ʼe ʼi ai te faʼahi ʼe tonu ke tou fakaʼapaʼapa tafito ki ai. ʼE ko te nofo ʼohoana.
2 Neʼe ui fenei e te apositolo ko Paulo: “Ke fakaʼapaʼapaʼi e te hahaʼi fuli ia te nofo ʼohoana, pea ke ʼaua naʼa ʼulihi ia te moeʼaga fakataumatuʼa.” (Hepeleo 13:4) Neʼe mole ko he fakatokaga feia pe ʼae neʼe fai e Paulo. Neʼe ina fakatotonu ki te kau Kilisitiano ke natou fakaʼapaʼapa ki te nofo ʼohoana, ko tona fakaʼuhiga, neʼe tonu ke maʼuhiga kia natou ia te nofo ʼohoana. ʼE feia koa ia tau faʼahiga manatu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te nofo ʼohoana, kae tafito ʼo ʼuhiga mo tou maʼuli fakataumatuʼa mo kapau foki kua ke ʼohoana?
3. Kotea te fakatotonu maʼuhiga ʼae neʼe fai e Sesu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te nofo ʼohoana? (Vakaʼi te ʼuluaki pāki.)
3 Kapau ʼe ke fakaʼapaʼapa ki te nofo ʼohoana, ʼe ke mulimuli ai ki te faʼifaʼitaki lelei tukupau ʼa Sesu. ʼI tona fakafehuʼi e te kau Maleko 10:2-12; Senesi 2:24.
Faliseo ʼo ʼuhiga mo te mavete, neʼe toe toʼo pe e Sesu ia te ʼu palalau ʼae neʼe fai e te ʼAtua ʼi te ʼuluaki ʼohoana. Neʼe ina ui fenei: “Koia, ʼe mavae anai te tagata mai tana tamai pea mo tana faʼe, ʼo nā liliu ai ko he kakano ʼe tahi.” Pea neʼe toe ui fenei e Sesu: “Ko te meʼa ʼae neʼe fakatahiʼi e te ʼAtua, ke ʼaua naʼa veteki e te tagata.”—Lau ia4. Kotea ʼae neʼe loto ki ai Sehova ʼi tana fakatuʼutuʼu ia te nofo ʼohoana?
4 Koia neʼe fakaha ai e Sesu, ʼe ko te ʼAtua ʼae neʼe ina fakatuʼutuʼu te nofo ʼohoana pea neʼe tonu ke nofo ʼohoana he taumatuʼa ʼo talu ai. ʼI te temi ʼae neʼe fakatapuʼi ai e te ʼAtua ia Atama mo Eva, neʼe mole ina ui age ʼe feala pe hanā mavete. Kailoa ia, he ʼe ko te loto ʼo te ʼAtua ʼo ʼuhiga mo naua toko lua, ke “nā” maʼuʼuli fakatahi ʼi tonā maʼuli katoa.

5 Kae, ʼi te temi ʼae neʼe agahala ai Atama, neʼe lahi ai leva te ʼu aluʼaga neʼe fetogi. Neʼe kamata mamate ai ia te hahaʼi pea neʼe ʼi ai ʼona nunuʼa ki te nofo ʼohoana. Neʼe fakamahino e te apositolo ko Paulo ki te kau Kilisitiano, ko te mate ʼe ina fakagata ia he nofo ʼohoana pea ʼe feala ki te tagata peʼe ko te fafine ʼohoana ʼae ʼe kei maʼuli ke toe ʼohoana?—Loma 7:1-3.
ʼE fakaha mai ʼi te Lao ʼe maʼuhiga ʼaupito ia te nofo ʼohoana ki te ʼAtua
6. ʼE ha feafeaʼi ʼi te Lao ʼa Moisese ia te faʼahiga manatu ʼa te ʼAtua ʼo ʼuhiga mo te nofo ʼohoana?
6 ʼI te Lao ʼae neʼe foaki e te ʼAtua ki te kau Iselaele, neʼe maʼu ai he ʼu faʼahi ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼohoana. Ohage la, neʼe feala ki he tagata Iselaele ke maʼuli mo he ʼu fafine ʼe tokolahi. Neʼe ko he agaʼi fenua neʼe kua fai ʼi muʼa ʼo te foaki e te ʼAtua ia te Lao. Kae neʼe fakatuʼu ʼi te Lao ia he ʼu lekula moʼo puipui ia te hahaʼi fafine pea mo te ʼu fanau naʼa gaohi koviʼi. Ohage la, kapau neʼe ʼohoana he tagata Iselaele mo he fafine kaugana pea toe ʼohoana ki muli age mo he tahi fafine, neʼe tonu ke hoko atu ia tana foaki te ʼu meʼa ʼae neʼe ʼaoga ki tona ʼuluaki ʼohoana ohage pe ko tana fai mahani. Neʼe fakamaʼua e te ʼAtua ki te tagata ʼaia ke haga puipui pea mo tokaga ki tona ʼuluaki Ekesote 21:9, 10) ʼE mole tou mulimuli ki te Lao ʼa Moisese ia ʼaho nei. Kae ʼe fakaha mai ai, ʼe maʼuhiga ʼaupito ia te nofo ʼohoana ki te ʼAtua. Pea ʼe mahino ia ʼe tokoni mai te faʼahi ʼaia ke tou fakamaʼuhigaʼi ia te nofo ʼohoana.

Logo la ʼe mole he temi neʼe loto ai e Sehova ke mavete he taumatuʼa, kae neʼe fakagafua ʼi te Lao ke mavete he tagata Iselaele mo kapau neʼe ina maʼu “i tona ohoana he mea fakaufiufi.” (Lau ia Tetelonome 24:1.) Neʼe mole fakaha ʼi te Lao pe kotea te “mea fakaufiufi” ʼaia. Kae ʼe mahino ia neʼe ko he agahala mamafa pea neʼe mole tonu ke meʼa noaʼi. (Tetelonome 23:14) Meʼa fakaʼofaʼofa foki he ʼe ʼi te temi ʼo Sesu, tokolahi te hahaʼi tagata Sutea neʼe mavete mo ʼonatou ʼohoana “ ʼi he faʼahiga meʼa pe.” (Mateo 19:3) ʼE mahino papau ia, ʼe mole tou fia maʼu ia tanatou faʼahiga manatu.

Kae neʼe fakaha lelei e te ʼAtua ia tana manatu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te mavete. Neʼe ina ui fenei: “ ʼE au fehiʼa ki te mavete.” (Malakia 2:14-16, MN) ʼE mole fetogi te manatu ʼa te ʼAtua ʼo ʼuhiga mo te nofo ʼohoana talu mai te kamataʼaga, ʼi tana ui ʼae ki te tagata ʼe “pipiki leva ia ia ki tona ohoana, pea e na liliu anai ko he sino e tahi.” (Senesi 2:24) Pea neʼe lagolago ia Sesu ki te faʼahiga manatu ʼa tana Tamai ʼo ʼuhiga mo te nofo ʼohoana ʼi tana ui fenei: “Ko te meʼa ʼae neʼe fakatahiʼi e te ʼAtua, ke ʼaua naʼa veteki e te tagata.”—Mateo 19:6.
KO TE TUPUʼAGA PE ʼE TAHI ʼE FEALA KE MAVETE AI HE TAUMATUʼA
9. Kotea te fakaʼuhiga ʼo te ʼu palalau ʼa Sesu ia Maleko 10:11, 12?
9 ʼE feala pe ke feuiʼaki fenei e ʼihi: ‘ ʼE ʼi ai koa he tupuʼaga ʼe gafua ai ke mavete he Kilisitiano pea mo toe ʼohoana?’ Tou fakatokagaʼi te ʼu palalau ʼaeni ʼa Sesu: “Ko te tagata ʼae ʼe mavete mo tona ʼohoana pea toe ʼohoana mo he tahi age, ʼe tono ia ki tona ʼuluaki ʼohoana, pea kapau leva ʼe mavete he fafine mo tona ʼohoana pea toe ʼohoana mo he tahi age, ʼe tono ia.” (Maleko 10:11, 12; Luka 16:18) ʼE ha lelei mai, neʼe fakaʼapaʼapa ia Sesu ki te nofo ʼohoana, pea neʼe loto ke toe fai feia ʼihi. Kapau neʼe mavete he tagata peʼe ko he fafine mo tona ʼohoana ʼae neʼe agatonu pea toe ʼohoana mo he tahi age, neʼe tono ia. Koteʼuhi, ko te mavete ʼe mole ina fakagata ia te nofo ʼohoana. Kia mata ʼo te ʼAtua, ko te taumatuʼa ʼaia ʼe heʼeki mavete pea ʼe ko he ‘kakano pe ia ʼe tahi.’ Neʼe toe ui e Sesu, kapau neʼe mavete he tagata mo tona ʼohoana ʼae neʼe agatonu, neʼe feala ke tupu ai he tono ʼa te fafine. ʼO feafeaʼi? ʼI te temi muʼa, neʼe feala pe ke manatu ia te fafine ʼae kua mavete ʼe tonu ke toe ʼohoana ʼuhi ko ʼona faigataʼaʼia. Kae kapau neʼe toe ʼohoana te fafine ʼaia, neʼe tatau ʼosi pe leva ia mo te tono.
10. Kotea te tupuʼaga pe ʼe tahi ʼae ʼe feala ke mavete ai he Kilisitiano pea mo toe ʼohoana?
10 Neʼe akoʼi mai e Sesu, ʼe ʼi ai te tupuʼaga pe Mateo 19:9) Neʼe toe talanoa ʼo ʼuhiga mo te manatu ʼaia ʼi tana Akonaki ʼi Te Moʼuga. (Mateo 5:31, 32) ʼI te ʼu lakaga ʼaia, neʼe talanoa ia Sesu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼu “felaveʼi fakasino heʼe ʼaoga,” pea ko te ʼu aga heʼe ʼaoga ʼaia, ʼe kau ki ai te tono, mo te ʼu agapaomutu, mo te ʼu felaveʼi fakasino ʼa he foʼi toko lua ʼe mole heʼeki ʼohoana, mo te faitagata mo te faifafine, pea mo te ʼu felaveʼi fakasino mo he manu.

Pea kapau leva ʼe mavete te fafine mo tona ʼohoana, kia mata ʼo te ʼAtua ʼe mole kei nā ʼohoana.
ʼe tahi ʼe feala ke mavete ai he tahi. Neʼe ina ui fenei: “ ʼE au tala atu kia koutou, kapau ʼe mavete he tagata mo tona ʼohoana kaʼe neʼe mole fai e te fafine he ʼu felaveʼi fakasino heʼe ʼaoga, ʼe tono anai mo kapau ʼe toe ʼohoana.” (11. He koʼe ʼe feala ki he Kilisitiano ke ina filifili ke mole mavete logo la te felaveʼi fakasino heʼe ʼaoga ʼae neʼe fai e tona ʼohoana?
11 Tou fakatokagaʼi neʼe mole ui e Sesu ʼe tonu ki te Kilisitiano ʼae ʼe agatonu ke mavete mo kapau neʼe fai e tona ʼohoana ia he ʼu felaveʼi fakasino heʼe ʼaoga. Ohage la, kapau ko he fafine, ʼe feala ke ina filifili ke mole mavete mo tona ʼohoana logo la te felaveʼi fakasino heʼe ʼaoga ʼae neʼe ina fai. Kotea tona tupuʼaga? ʼE lagi kei ʼofa pe ki tona ʼohoana. Peʼe lotolelei ke fakamolemole ki ai pea mo fia gaue fakatahi mo tona ʼohoana moʼo fakamalohiʼi tonā maʼuli fakataumatuʼa. Pea tahi, kapau ʼe mavete te fafine mo tona ʼohoana kae ʼe mole toe ʼohoana, ʼe tau anai mo he ʼu fihifihia.

Kotea anai te ʼu nunuʼa ʼo te mavete ki ʼana fanau? ʼE toe lahi age anai koa tonatou akoʼi ʼi te moʼoni? (1 Kolonito 7:14) ʼE ha lelei mai, ko te tagata peʼe ko te fafine agatonu ʼae ʼe filifili ke mavete, ʼe feala ke tau mo he ʼu fihifihia.

12 ʼI te ʼu aluʼaga ʼae neʼe hoko ki te polofeta ko Oseo, ʼe tou iloʼi ai pe kotea te manatu ʼa te ʼAtua ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼohoana.

(Oseo 1:2, 3, MN) Ki muli age, neʼe lagi fanau ia Komela ki he tahi tagata, ʼo ina maʼu ai tana taʼahine pea mo tana tahi tama. Kae logo la te tuʼa lahi ʼo tana hala ki tuʼa, neʼe nofo aipe ia Oseo mo ia. Pea neʼe ina liʼaki leva ia Oseo ʼo liliu ai ko he kaugana. Kae neʼe toe totogi pe ia ia e Oseo.

13 Kapau ʼe fai e he Kilisitiano kua ʼohoana ia he ʼu felaveʼi fakasino heʼe ʼaoga, ʼe maʼua ki tona ʼohoana ʼae neʼe agatonu ke ina toʼo he tonu.

Ka na ʼaua la, neʼe maʼu e te fafine ia he tupuʼaga ke mavete ai pea mo toe ʼohoana. Neʼe tohi e Paulo, ko te fafine ʼae ʼe mavae mai tona ʼohoana ʼe tonu “ke nofo tokotahi peʼe ke toe fakatokatoka mo tona ʼohoana.” Koia kia mata ʼo te ʼAtua ʼe kei nā ʼohoana pe.

He koʼe neʼe filifili e ʼihi Kilisitiano ke natou nonofo mo ʼonatou ʼohoana logo la ʼonatou faigataʼaʼia?
17 Kae, ʼi ʼihi temi ko te tagata ʼohoana ʼae “ ʼe mole tui” ʼe ina fakaha ʼe mole “lotolelei” ke nofo mo tona ʼohoana.
