20, 21. (a) ʻOku viki ʻe he Sāme 145:​7-9 ʻa e lahi ʻo Sihová ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e ongo ʻulungāanga fē? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e kaunga ʻo e ongo ʻulungāanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku lave ki ai hení ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku ʻofa kiate iá?

²⁰ Hangē ko ia kuo tau fakatokangaʻí, ko e ʻuluaki ngaahi veesi ʻe ono ʻo e Sāme 145:1-6 ʻoku ʻomai ai kia kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga lelei ke fakahīkihikiʻi ai ʻa Sihova ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fekauʻaki mo hono lahi taʻemahakuleá. Ko e Sāme 145:7-9 veesi 7 ki he 9 ʻoku viki ai ʻa e lahi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻaki ʻa e lave ki hono ngaahi tuʻunga fakaeʻulungāangá. ʻOku hiva ʻa Tēvita: “Ko e fakamanatu hoʻo fuʻu lelei te nau puʻaki, pea ko hoʻo fai totonu [pe māʻoniʻoni] te nau kalangaʻaki. ʻOku angalelei mo ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻEiki, tuai ki he houhau, pea lahi ʻene mēsi. ʻOku lelei ʻa Sihova ki he meʻa kotoa pe; pea ko ʻene fakaʻatuʻi ʻoku lave ki heʻene ngaue fulipe.”

²¹ ʻOku ʻuluaki fakamamafaʻi heni ʻe Tēvita ʻa e lelei mo e māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihová—ko e ongo ʻulungāanga ia ʻoku fehuʻia ʻe Sētane ko e Tēvoló. Ko e hā ʻa e kaunga ʻo e ongo ʻulungāanga ko ení ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá mo fakamoʻulaloa ki hono tuʻunga-pulé? ʻĀua, ko e lelei mo e māʻoniʻoni ʻa e founga pule ʻa Sihová ʻoku ʻomai ai ʻa e fiefia ko ia ki heʻene kau lotú ʻo ʻikai ai lava ke nau taʻofi ʻenau puʻaki ʻa hono fakahīkihikí. ʻIkai ngata aí, ko e lelei ʻa Sihová ʻoku fakaaʻu ia ki he “meʻa kotoa pe.” ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e ʻamanaki, ʻe tokoniʻi ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa e tokolahi ange ke nau fakatomala pea hoko ko e kau lotu ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní ki muʻa ke fuʻu tōmuí.​—Ngāue 14:​15-​17.

22. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e tōʻongafai ʻa Sihova ki heʻene kau sevānití?

²² Naʻe toe fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻe Tēvita ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá tonu ʻi he taimi naʻá Ne “haʻele ange [ai] ʻi hono ʻao [ʻo Mōsesé], ʻo ne folofola, Ko Sihova, ʻa Sihova ʻOtua, ʻAloʻofa mo Anga lelei, Tuai ki he Houhau, pea Fonu ʻi he Kelesi mo e Moʻoni.” (Ekisoto 34:6) Ko ia ai, naʻe lava ke talaki ʻe Tēvita: “ʻOku angalelei mo ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻEiki, tuai ki he houhau, pea lahi ʻene mēsi.” Neongo ʻoku lahi taʻemahakulea ʻa Sihova, ʻokú ne ʻai ke ngeia ʻa ʻene kau sevāniti fakaetangatá, ʻaki ʻa e tōʻongafai manavaʻofa kia kinautolu. ʻOkú ne fonu ʻi he meesi, ʻo loto-lelei ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e kau angahala fakatomalá ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Sīsuú. ʻOku toe tuai foki ʻa Sihova ki he houhaú, he ʻokú ne ʻomai ki heʻene kau sevānití ʻa e faingamālie ke ikuʻi ʻa e ngaahi vaivaiʻanga ʻa ia ʻoku lava ke ne taʻofi kinautolu mei heʻene māmani foʻou māʻoniʻoní.​—2 Pita 3:​9, 13, 14.

ʻOku Lahi ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻOfa Mateakí

‘Oku lahi ae aloofa a Jihová.’​—SĀME 145:​8, PM.

1. ʻOku lahi fēfē ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá?

“KO E ʻOtua ko e ʻOfa.” (1 Sione 4:8) Ko e kupuʻi lea fakalotomāfana ko iá ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ai ko e founga pule ʻa Sihová ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi he ʻofá. He ko ē, naʻa mo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻoku ʻikai te nau talangofua kiate iá ʻoku nau maʻu ʻaonga mei he laʻā mo e ʻuha ʻokú ne tokonaki ʻofa maí! (Mātiu 5:​44, 45) Koeʻuhi ko e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he māmani ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, naʻa mo hono ngaahi filí ʻoku lava ke nau fakatomala, tafoki kiate ia, pea maʻu ʻa e moʻuí. (Sione 3:​16) Kae kehe, ʻe vavé ni ke tafiʻi atu ʻe Sihova ʻa e fulikivanu taʻemangoí koeʻuhi ke lava ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa ia ʻoku ʻofa kiate iá ʻo maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá ʻi ha māmani foʻou māʻoniʻoni.​—Sāme 37:​9-​11, 29; 2 Pita 3:​13.

2. Ko e hā ʻa e tafaʻaki makehe ʻo e ʻofá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihova ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻi ha vahaʻangatae fakatapui mo iá?

² ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e ʻofa ki heʻene kau lotu moʻoní ʻi ha founga mahuʻinga tuʻuloa. Ko e ʻofa ko iá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ia ʻe ha foʻi lea faka-Hepelū ʻoku liliu ko e “ʻaloʻofa,” pe “ʻofa mateaki.” Ko Tuʻi Tēvita ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá naʻá ne fakamahuʻingaʻi lahi ʻa e ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá. Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa naʻá ne hokosia fakafoʻituituí pea mo ʻene fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi feangainga ʻa e ʻOtuá mo e niʻihi kehé, naʻe lava ai ke hiva ʻa Tēvita ʻi he loto-falala: ‘Oku lahi ae aloofa [pe “ʻofa mateaki”] a Jihová.’​—Sāme 145:​8, PM.
