1. Neongo ko Sihova ʻa e Tokotaha Aoniú, ko e hā kuó ne fakaafeʻi ke fai ʻe he niʻihi kehé?
KO SIHOVA ʻa e Tokotaha Aoniú. Naʻá ne fakatupu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē pea kuó ne maʻu ʻa e poto mo e mālohi taʻefakangatangata. Hili ʻene tokoniʻi ʻa Siope ke mahinoʻi ení, naʻe pehē ʻe Siope kia Sihova: “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke mafai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻo fakakaukau ʻe ala taʻofia.” (Siope 42:1) ʻOku lava ke fai ʻe Sihova ha meʻa pē ʻo ʻikai fiemaʻu ha tokoni mei ha taha. Ka ʻi heʻene fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofá ʻokú ne fakaafeʻi ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke ngāue fakataha mo ia ke fakahoko ʻene taumuʻá.
2. Ko e hā ʻa e ngāue mahuʻinga naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Sīsū ke ne faí?
2 Naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtuá hono ʻAló ʻa Sīsū, ki muʻa ke ne fakatupu ʻa e tokotaha kotoa mo e meʻa kotoa pē. Naʻe fakaʻatā leva ʻe Sihova hono ʻAló ke tokoni kiate ia ʻi hono fakatupu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kehe kotoa pē. (Sione 1:1-3, 18) Naʻe tohi ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻo fekauʻaki mo Sīsū: “Fakafou ʻiate ia, naʻe fakatupu ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kehe kotoa pē ʻi he langí pea ʻi he funga ʻo māmaní, ʻa e ngaahi meʻa hā mai mo e ngaahi meʻa taʻehāmai, ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e ngaahi taloni pe tuʻunga ʻeiki pe ko e ngaahi founga-pule pe ko e ngaahi mafai kinautolu. Ko e ngaahi meʻa kehe kotoa pē kuo fakatupu ia fakafou ʻiate ia pea maʻana.” (Kol. 1:15-17) Ko ia, naʻe ʻikai ngata pē ʻi hono ʻoange ʻe Sihova ki hono ʻAló ha ngāue mahuʻinga, ka naʻá ne tala ia ki he niʻihi kehé. Ko ha monū ia!
3. Ko e hā naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Sihova ke fai ʻe ʻĀtamá pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
3 Naʻe toe fakaafeʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke ngāue fakataha mo ia. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻá ne fakaʻatā ʻa ʻĀtama ke fakahingoa ʻa e fanga manú. (Sēn. 2:19, 20) Sioloto atu ki he fiefia naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻĀtama ʻi hono fai ʻa e ngāue ko ení! Naʻá ne sivisiviʻi fakalelei ʻa e fōtunga mo e tōʻonga ʻa e fanga manú, pea naʻá ne fili leva ha hingoa taki taha moʻo kinautolu. Naʻe fakatupu ʻe Sihova ʻa e kotoa ʻo e fanga manú, ko ia naʻe mei malava pē ke ne fakahingoa kinautolu. Kae kehe, naʻá ne fakahāhā kia ʻĀtama ʻa e lahi ʻo ʻene ʻofa ʻiate iá ʻaki hono fakaʻatā ia ke ne fakahingoa ʻa e fanga manú. Naʻe toe ʻoange ʻe he ʻOtuá kia ʻĀtama ha ngāue ko hono ʻai ʻa e māmaní fakalūkufua ke hoko ko ha palataisi. (Sēn. 1:27, 28) Ka naʻe faifai atu pē ʻo fili ʻa ʻĀtama ke tuku ʻene ngāue mo e ʻOtuá, pea ko hono nunuʻá naʻe hoko ai ʻa e faingataʻa lahi kiate ia mo e kotoa ʻo hono hakó.—Sēn. 3:17-19, 23.
4. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e ngāue fakataha ha niʻihi mo e ʻOtuá ke fakahoko hono finangaló?
4 Ki mui ai, naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ha niʻihi kehe ke ngāue fakataha mo ia. Naʻe faʻu ʻe Noa ʻa e ʻaʻaké ko ha haoʻanga kiate ia mo hono fāmilí lolotonga ʻa e Lōmakí. Naʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻe Mōsese ʻa e puleʻanga ʻIsilelí mei ʻIsipite. Naʻe tataki ʻe Siosiua ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ki he Fonua ʻo e Talaʻofá. Naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻa e temipale ʻi Selusalemá. Naʻe hoko ʻa Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Sīsū. Ko e kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga faitōnunga ko ení mo e tokolahi kehe naʻa nau ngāue fakataha mo Sihova ke fakahoko hono finangaló.
5. Ko e hā ʻa e ngāue ʻe lava ke tau kau ki aí, pea naʻe fiemaʻu kia Sihova ke fakakau kitautolu ʻi he ngāue ko ení? (Sio ki he ʻuluaki fakatātā ʻi he kupú ni)
5 ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku fakaafeʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova ke tau fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa te tau malavá ke poupouʻi hono Puleʻangá. ʻOku lahi ʻa e ngaahi founga ʻe lava ke tau tauhi ai ki he ʻOtuá. Pea neongo ʻoku ʻikai lava ke tau tauhi kotoa kiate ia ʻi he founga tatau, ʻoku tau lava kotoa ke malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá. Naʻe mei malava eni ke fai ʻe Sihova ʻiate ia pē. Naʻe mei malava ke ne folofola hangatonu mei hēvani ki he kakai ʻi he māmaní. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū naʻe mei malava ʻe Sihova ke fakalea ʻa e maká ke nau tala ki he niʻihi kehé ʻo fekauʻaki mo e Tuʻi ʻo Hono Puleʻangá. (Luke 19:37-40) Ka ʻoku fakaʻatā kitautolu ʻe Sihova ke hoko ko hono “kaungāngāue.” (1 Kol. 3:9) Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “ʻI he ngāue fakataha mo iá, ʻoku mau enginaki atu foki kiate kimoutolu ke ʻoua naʻa mou tali ʻa e ʻofa maʻataʻatā ʻa e ʻOtuá pea taʻemaʻu hono taumuʻá.” (2 Kol. 6:1) Ko ha monū lahi ia ʻi hono fakaafeʻi kitautolu ke ngāue mo e ʻOtuá. Tau sio angé ki he niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku ʻomai ai heni kia kitautolu ʻa e fiefia lahi.

6. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻAlo ʻuluaki ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa e anga ʻene ongoʻí fekauʻaki mo e ngāue fakataha mo ʻene Tamaí?
6 Ko e ngāue mo e ʻOtuá kuó ne ʻai maʻu pē ʻa e kau sevāniti ʻa Sihová ke nau fiefia. Ki muʻa ke haʻu ki he māmaní ʻa e ʻAlo ʻuluaki ʻo e ʻOtuá, naʻá ne pehē: “Naʻe maʻu au ʻe Sihova ko e kamata o ʻene fai atu . . . naʻa ku ʻi hono tafaʻaki, ko e tufunga lahi, ʻo u hakailangitau he ʻaho kotoa pe; ʻO u fiefia ʻi hono ʻao he taimi kotoa pe.” (Pal. 8:22, 30) ʻI he taimi naʻe ngāue ai ʻa Sīsū mo ʻene Tamaí, naʻá ne fiefia koeʻuhí he naʻá ne fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lahi pea naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻofaʻi ia ʻe Sihova. Kae fēfē kitautolu?

7 Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū te tau maʻu ʻa e fiefiá fakatouʻosi ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau foaki atu aí mo maʻu mai aí. (Ngā. 20:35) ʻOku tau fiefia ʻi he taimi naʻa tau maʻu ai ʻa e moʻoní, ka ko e hā ʻoku tau toe fiefia ai ʻi heʻetau vahevahe atu ʻa e moʻoní ki he niʻihi kehé? Koeʻuhí ko ʻetau sio kia kinautolu ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e fiefia moʻoní ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau mahinoʻi ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku akoʻi ʻe he Tohi Tapú pea kamata ke nau maʻu ha vahaʻangatae mo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku tau fiefia ke sio kia kinautolu ʻi he liliu ʻa e anga ʻenau fakakaukaú mo e tōʻonga moʻuí. Ko e ngāue fakamalangá ʻa e ngāue mahuʻinga taha mo fakafiefia taha ʻe lava ke tau faí. ʻOku malava ai ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau hoko ko e ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻo e ʻOtuá ke nau maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá.—2 Kol. 5:20.
8. Ko e hā kuo leaʻaki ʻe he niʻihi fekauʻaki mo e fiefia ʻoku nau maʻu ʻi he ngāue mo Sihová?

(Lau ʻa e 1 Kolinitō 15:58.) ʻOku pehē ʻe Marco mei ʻĪtalí: “Kuó u maʻu ʻa e fiefia taʻehanotatau ʻi hono ʻiloʻi ʻoku ou ʻoatu hoku lelei tahá kia Sihova kae ʻikai ki ha tokotaha ʻa ia ʻe vave ʻene fakangaloʻi ʻeku ngāué.” ʻOku meimei tatau ia mo Franco, ʻa ia ʻoku toe ngāue ʻi ʻĪtali, ʻokú ne pehē: “Fakafou ʻi heʻene Folofolá mo ʻene ngaahi tokonaki fakalaumālié, ʻoku fakamanatu mai ai ʻe Sihova kia kitautolu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa ʻokú ne ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu pea ko e meʻa kotoa ʻoku tau fai kiate iá ʻoku mahuʻinga, neongo ko ʻetau ngaahi feingá ʻe hā ngali taʻemahuʻinga kia kitautolu. Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku ou fiefia ai ʻi he ngāue fakataha mo e ʻOtuá pea ʻoku ʻomai ai ha moʻui ʻoku mohu ʻuhinga.”

Naʻá ne lotu: “Ke nau hoko ai ʻo taha ʻo hangē tofu pē ko kitauá.” (Sione 17:11) ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau moʻui ʻo fehoanaki mo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa e ʻOtuá pea kau ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá, ʻoku tau mahinoʻi ange ai hono ngaahi ʻulungaanga fakaofó. ʻOku tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku fakapotopoto ai ke tau falala kiate iá mo muimui ʻi heʻene tatakí.
