Ko e Hā ʻOku Fakaʻatā Ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e Faingataʻá?

10, 11. (a) Fakatatau ki he Loma 8:​19-22, ko e hā naʻe hoko ki he ‘meʻa fakatupú kātoa’? (e) ʻE anga-fēfē nai haʻatau fakapapauʻi pe ko hai naʻá ne fakamoʻulaloa ʻa e meʻa fakatupú ki he muná?

¹⁰ Ko e potutohi ʻi he tohi ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he kakai Lomá ʻokú ne huluhulu mai ʻa e maama ki he kaveinga mahuʻinga ko ení. Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Ko e ʻamanakituʻu ʻa Natula [“ʻa e meʻa fakatupú,” NW] ʻoku ne nofoʻaki tali ki he fakaeʻa ʻo e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtua. He naʻe fakamoʻulaloa [ʻa e meʻa fakatupú] ki he muna: ka talaʻehai ko hono loto, ka koeʻuhi pe ko ia naʻa ne fai ʻa e fakamoʻulaloa: ka naʻe tuku ke ne ʻamanaki pe, ʻo pehe, Naʻa mo ia, [ʻa e meʻa fakatupú], ʻe faifai pea fakaʻataʻatā mei heʻene popula ki he ʻauha, kae fakahoko ia ki he tauʻataina fakalangi ʻa e fanau ʻa e ʻOtua. Seuke, ʻoku tau lāuʻilo pe, ʻoku fai ʻo aʻu ki he taimi ni ʻa e fetoʻeaki mo langā [ʻa e meʻa fakatupú] katoa.”—Loma 8:​19-22.

¹¹ Ke mahinoʻi ʻa e poini ʻo e ngaahi veesi ko ení, ʻoku tomuʻa fiemaʻu ke tau hanga ʻo veteki ha ngaahi fehuʻi tefito. Hangē ko ení, Ko hai naʻá ne fakamoʻulaloa ʻa e meʻa fakatupú ki he muná? Kuo tuhu ʻa e niʻihi kia Sētane; ko e niʻihi kia ʻĀtama. Ka heʻikai lava ʻe ha taha ʻo kinaua ke fai ʻa e fakamoʻulaloá. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai aí? Koeʻuhi ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne fakamoʻulaloa ʻa e meʻa fakatupú ki he muná ʻokú ne fai ia ʻi he “ʻamanaki.” ʻIo, ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e ʻamanaki ko e faʻahinga faitōnungá ʻe faifai pē ʻo ‘fakaʻatā mei heʻenau nofo popula ki he ʻauhá.’ ʻOku ʻikai lava ke ʻomai ʻe ʻĀtama pe ko Sētane ha ʻamanaki pehē. Ko Sihova pē te ne lavá. ʻOku hā mahino leva, ko ia naʻá ne fakamoʻulaloa ʻa e meʻa fakatupú ki he muná.

12. Ko e hā ʻa e puputuʻu kuo malanga hake fekauʻaki mo hono ʻiloʻi pau ʻo e ‘meʻa fakatupú kātoa,’ pea ʻe lava fēfē ke tali ʻa e fehuʻi ko ení?

¹² Ko e hā leva ʻa e ‘meʻa fakatupú kātoa’ ʻoku lave ki ai ʻi he konga tohi ko ení? ʻOku pehē ʻe he niʻihi ko e ‘meʻa fakatupú kātoa’ ko e lave ia ki he māmani matelie fakalūkufua ko ení, kau ai ʻa e fanga manú mo e ʻakaú. Ka ʻoku ʻamanaki ʻa e fanga manú mo e ʻakaú ke maʻu ʻa e “tauʻataina fakalangi ʻa e fanau ʻa e ʻOtua”? ʻIkai. (2 Pita 2:12) Ko e ‘meʻa fakatupú kātoa’ leva, ʻe lava ke lave pē ia ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. Ko e meʻa fakatupu eni ʻoku uesia ʻe he angahalá mo e maté koeʻuhi ko e angatuʻu ʻi ʻĪtení pea ʻoku nofo ia mo e fiemaʻu vavale ki ha ʻamanaki.​—Loma 5:12.

13. Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe he angatuʻu ʻi ʻĪtení ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá?

¹³ Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa tofu pē ko ia, naʻe fai ʻe he angatuʻu ko ení ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá? ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe Paula hono ngaahi nunuʻá ʻaki ʻa e foʻi lea pē taha: muna.a Fakatatau ki ha maʻuʻanga fakamatala ʻe taha, ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he foʻi lea ko ení “ko e muna ʻo ha meʻa ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai ngāue ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa naʻe ngaohi ia ki aí.” Ko e tangatá naʻe faʻu ia ke moʻui taʻengata, ʻo ngāue fakataha ko ha fāmili haohaoa mo fāʻūtaha ʻi hono tokangaʻi ʻo ha māmani palataisi. Ko hono kehé, ʻoku nau tataki ʻe kinautolu ha moʻui fuonounou, fakamamahi mo faʻa feifeitamaki. Hangē ko hono fakalea ia ʻe Siopé, “ko e tangata kuo fanauʻi ʻe he fefine ʻoku fuonounou ʻene moʻui, pea ʻoku fonu ʻi he mamahi.” (Siope 14:1) Ko e muna moʻoni!

14, 15. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻo e fakamaau totonu ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi he tautea ko ia ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá? (e) Ko e hā naʻe pehē ai ʻe Paula ko e meʻa fakatupú naʻe fakamoʻulaloa ia ki he muna “talaʻehai ko hono loto”?

¹⁴ ʻOku tau aʻu mai eni ki he fehuʻi tefitó: Ko e hā naʻe hanga ai ʻe he “Fakamāu ʻo mamani katoa” ʻo fakamoʻulaloa ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ki he moʻui fakamamahi mo feifeitamaki ko ení? (Senesi 18:25) Naʻá ne faitotonu ʻi heʻene fai peheé? Sai, manatuʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe heʻetau ʻuluaki mātuʻá. ʻI heʻena angatuʻu ki he ʻOtuá, naʻá na faʻahi ai kinaua mo Sētane, ʻa ia naʻá ne langaʻi ha pole lahi ki he tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová. ʻI heʻena ngaahi ngāué, naʻá na poupouʻi ai ʻa e taukaveʻi ko ia ʻe lelei ange ʻa e tangatá ʻi he taʻekau ai ʻa Sihová, ʻo puleʻi pē ʻe ia ia ʻi he malumalu ʻo e tataki ʻa ha meʻamoʻui laumālie angatuʻu. ʻI hono tautea ʻo e ongo angatuʻú, naʻe hanga ai ʻe Sihova ʻo ʻoange kia kinaua ʻa e meʻa naʻá na holi ki aí. Naʻá ne fakaʻatā ʻa e tangatá ke ne puleʻi pē ia ʻi he tākiekina ʻa Sētané. ʻI he malumalu ʻo e ngaahi tuʻunga ko iá, ko e hā ha fili ʻe toe lava ke totonu lahi ange ka ko hono fakamoʻulaloa ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ki he muna ka ʻi he makatuʻunga ʻo e ʻamanaki?

¹⁵ Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ʻikai ko e “loto” ia ʻo e meʻa fakatupú. ʻOku fanauʻi kitautolu ko e kau pōpula ki he angahalá mo e ʻauhá ʻo ʻikai haʻatau toe fili ke fai ʻi he meʻá ni. Ka ko Sihova ʻi heʻene mēsí naʻá ne fakaʻatā ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ke na moʻui atu pea fanauʻi ha fānau. Neongo ko kitautolú, ʻa hona hakó, ʻoku fakamoʻulaloa ki he muna ʻo e angahalá mo e maté, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e faingamālie ke fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe taʻemalava ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ke faí. ʻE lava ke tau fanongo kia Sihova mo ako ko hono tuʻunga-haú ʻoku māʻoniʻoni pea haohaoa, lolotonga ia ko e pule ʻa e tangatá ʻo mavahe meia Sihová ʻokú ne ʻomi pē ʻa e mamahi, feifeitamaki mo e muna. (Selemaia 10:23; Fakahā 4:11) Pea ko e tākiekina ʻa Sētané ʻokú ne ʻai pē ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ke toe kovi ange. ʻOku fakamoʻoni ʻa e hisitōlia ʻo e tangatá ki he ngaahi moʻoni ko ení.​—Koheleti 8:9.

16. (a) Ko e hā ʻe lava ke tau fakapapauʻi ai ko Sihova ʻoku ʻikai tupu mei ai ʻa e faingataʻa ʻoku tau sio ki ai ʻi he māmaní he ʻaho ní? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ʻamanaki kuo tokonaki anga-ʻofa mai ʻe Sihova ki he kakai faitōnungá?

¹⁶ ʻOku hā mahino, naʻe maʻu ʻe Sihova ha ngaahi ʻuhinga totonu ki hono fakamoʻulaloa ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ki he muná. ʻOku ʻuhinga leva ia, ko Sihova ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo e muna mo e faingataʻa ʻoku tofanga ai ʻa e tokotaha taki taha ʻo kitautolu ʻi he ʻaho ní? Sai, fakakaukau atu ki ha fakamaau ʻokú ne hilifaki ha tautea totonu ki ha tokotaha faihia. Ko e tokotaha faihiá te ne faingataʻaʻia lahi lolotonga ʻene ngāueʻi hono tauteá, ka ʻe lava ke tonu ʻene tukuakiʻi ʻa e fakamāú ki he tupuʻanga ʻo ʻene faingataʻaʻiá? ʻIkai ʻaupito! ʻIkai ko ia pē, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito ko Sihova ia ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo e fulikivanú. ʻOku pehē ʻe Semisi 1:13: “Ko e ʻOtua ʻoku ʻikai maʻahiʻahiʻi ʻe he kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ha taha ʻe he ʻEne ʻAfio.” Tau toe manatuʻi foki, naʻe fakahā ʻe Sihova ʻa e tautea ko ení ʻi he “ʻamanaki.” Kuó ne fai anga-ʻofa ha ngaahi fokotuʻutuʻu ki he ngaahi hako faitōnunga ʻo ʻĀtama mo ʻIví ke nau sio ki hono fakangata ʻo e muná pea ke fiefia ʻi he “tauʻataina fakalangi ʻa e fanau ʻa e ʻOtua.” ʻI he kotoa ʻo ʻitānití, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ha toe fiemaʻu ke hohaʻa ʻa e faʻahinga faitōnunga ʻo e tangatá ki ha toe tūʻulu hifo nai ʻa e meʻa fakatupú kātoa ki ha tuʻunga fakamamahi ʻo e muná. Ko hono fakaleleiʻi totonu ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ʻe ʻosi fokotuʻu leva ai ʻa e totonu ʻo ʻene tuʻunga-haú ʻi he kotoa ʻo taimí.​—Aisea 25:8.
