1. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau ʻoku fai ʻe he kakai tokolahi, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

Ka, naʻá ne loto ke ngāueʻaki hono iví kotoa ke poupouʻi ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Māt. 4:17; Luke 9:58) Naʻe toe fai ʻe hono kau muimuí ha ngaahi feilaulau lahi. Ko e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa e meʻa mahuʻinga taha ʻi heʻenau moʻuí, ko ia naʻa nau fai ha ngaahi feilaulau ki ai. (Māt. 4:18-22; 19:27) ʻOku totonu ke tau ʻeke hifo kia kitautolu, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻi heʻeku moʻuí?’

Neongo ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ʻe Sihova ke tau fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau lahi ange ko ení ke maʻu ai ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá, ʻoku fiemaʻu ia ke poupouʻiʻaki ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.

Kapau te tau fai pehē foki, te tau fiefia lolotonga ʻetau tatali atu ki he hoko mai ʻa e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Teu. 16:15; Ngā. 20:35) ʻOku mahuʻinga kia kitautolu kotoa ke tau sivisiviʻi fakalelei kitautolu pea ʻeke ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ení: ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi founga ʻe lava ke tau fai ai ha meʻa lahi ange maʻá e Puleʻangá? ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻetau ngāueʻaki hotau taimí, paʻangá, iví, mo e ngaahi malavá?

4 Naʻe pau ki he kakai ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá ke nau fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhí ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻenau ngaahi angahalá. Naʻe fiemaʻu ʻa e ngaahi feilaulaú kae maʻu ʻa e hōifua ʻa Sihová. Ko e niʻihi ai naʻe fiemaʻu pau, pea ko e toengá naʻe fai loto-lelei. (Liv. 23:37, 38) Ko e ngaahi feilaulau tutú naʻe malava ke fai ia ko ha ngaahi feilaulau loto-lelei, pe meʻaʻofa kia Sihova. Ko e fakatātā ʻe taha ʻo hono fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihová naʻe fai ʻi hono fakatapui ʻo e temipale ʻo Solomoné.—2 Kal. 7:4-6.
5. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono ʻai ʻe Sihova ke malava naʻa mo e kau masivá ke fai ha ngaahi feilaulaú?
5 Naʻe mahinoʻi anga-ʻofa ʻe Sihova heʻikai malava ke lahi tatau ʻa e foaki ʻa e tokotaha kotoa. Naʻá ne kole ki he kau ʻIsilelí ke foaki pē ʻa e meʻa te nau malavá. Naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he lao ʻa Sihová ke fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau monumanu pea ko e toto ʻo e fanga monumanú ke fakatafe. Ko e ngaahi feilaulau ko ení ko ha “ʻata ʻo e ngaahi meʻa lelei ka hoko maí” fakafou ʻia Sīsū. (Hep. 10:1-4) Kae kehe, naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e lao ko ení ʻi ha founga mātuʻaki fakaʻatuʻi. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻe tali ʻe he ʻOtuá ha feilaulau ʻaki ʻa e kulukulú kapau heʻikai malava ha taha ke fai ha feilaulau lahi ange, hangē ko ha sipi pe ko ha kosi. Ko ia naʻa mo e kau masivá ʻe lava ke nau fai ha ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova pea hoko ʻo fiefia. (Liv. 1:3, 10, 14; 5:7) Neongo ʻe tali ʻe Sihova ʻa e feilaulauʻaki ʻa e fanga monumanu kehekehé, naʻá ne fiemaʻu ʻa e meʻa ʻe ua mei he faʻahinga kotoa naʻa nau fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau loto-leleí.
6. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ʻe ua naʻe fiemaʻu ʻi hono fai ha feilaulau? Naʻe mahuʻinga fēfē ʻa e talangofua ki he ongo fiemaʻu ko ení?
6 ʻUluakí, ko ha tokotaha naʻá ne fai ha feilaulau naʻe pau ke ne foaki hono lelei tahá. Kapau naʻe puke ha monumanu pe ʻi ai hano mele, heʻikai tali ʻe Sihova ʻa e feilaulaú. (Liv. 22:18, 20) Uá, ko e tokotaha naʻá ne fai ʻa e feilaulaú naʻe pau ke ne maʻa hangē ko hono fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Laó. Kapau naʻe ʻikai ke ne maʻa, ʻe pau ke ne tomuʻa fai ha feilaulau angahala pe ko ha feilaulau halaia kae malava ke ne toe maʻu ʻa e hōifua ʻa Sihová. Ko hono toki tali ia ʻe Sihova ʻene feilaulau loto-leleí. (Liv. 5:5, 6, 15) Naʻe mafatukituki ʻaupito eni. Naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Sihova kapau naʻe kai ʻe ha taha pē ha feilaulau lolotonga ʻokú ne taʻemaʻa, naʻe pau ke tāmateʻi ia. (Liv. 7:20, 21) Kae kehe, kapau naʻe maʻa ha tokotaha pea ʻikai mele ʻene feilaulaú, ʻe maʻu ʻe he tokotaha-foakí ha konisēnisi lelei mo e fiefia lahi.—Lau ʻa e 1 Kalonikali 29:9.
