1, 2. Ko e hā ʻoku kakapa atu ai ʻa e kau tangata ʻosi papitaisó ki ha fatongia lahi ange ʻi he fakatahaʻangá?
“NAʻÁ KU fiefia lahi ʻi hono fakanofo au ko ha tokotaha mātuʻá,” ko e lau ia ʻa Nick, ʻa ia kuó ne ngāue ko ha ʻovasia ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu. “Naʻá ku vakai ki he monuú ni ko ha faingamālie ia ke fakalahi ai ʻeku ngāue kia Sihová. Naʻá ku ongoʻi ko hoku moʻua ia ke fakamālōʻiaʻi Ia ʻi he meʻa kotoa kuó Ne fai maʻakú. Naʻá ku toe loto ke u tokoni ki he ngaahi mēmipa ʻo e fakatahaʻangá ki he kakato taha ʻe ala lavá, ke tokoniʻi kinautolu ʻi he founga tatau pē ko ia kuo tokoniʻi ai au ʻe he kau mātuʻa kehé.” Kae kehe, lolotonga ʻene ongoʻi fiefiá naʻá ne toe ongoʻi loto-hohaʻa foki. ʻOku hoko atu ʻa Nick: “Koeʻuhi naʻe teʻeki ai ke u taʻu 30 ʻi he taimi naʻe fakanofo mātuʻa ai aú, naʻá ku loto-moʻua ʻo pehē ʻe ʻikai te u maʻu ʻa e pōtoʻi feʻunga ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tauhi ola lelei ʻaki ʻa e fakatahaʻangá, ʻa ia ko e ʻiloʻiló mo e potó.”
2 ʻOku lahi ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ke fiefia ai ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku fakanofo ʻe Sihova ke tokangaʻi ʻene fanga sipí. Naʻe fakamanatu ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he kau mātuʻa ʻi ʻEfesoó ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻe taha ke fiefia aí ʻi heʻene lave ki he lea ʻa Sīsū, ʻo ne pehē: “ʻOku te [fiefia] lahi ʻi he fai ha foaki atu, ʻi heʻete maʻu ha foaki mai.” (Ngāue 20:35) ʻI he ngāue ko ha sevāniti fakafaifekau pe ko ha tokotaha mātuʻá ʻokú ne ʻomai ki he kau tangata ʻosi papitaisó ha toe ngaahi founga ke foaki ai kia Sihova pea ki he fakatahaʻangá. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻoku ngāue fakataha ʻa e kau sevāniti fakafaifekaú mo e kau mātuʻá. ʻOku toe tokangaʻi ʻe he kau sevānití ni ha toe ngaahi fatongia lahi kehe ʻa ia ʻoku lahi ʻa e taimi ʻoku fiemaʻu ki aí. ʻOku ueʻi ʻa e fanga tokoua peheé ʻe he ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá pea mo e kaungāʻapí ke nau fakahoko ai ʻa e ngāue mātuʻaki mahuʻinga.—Maake 12:30, 31.
3. Ko e hā ʻoku toumoua nai ai ʻa e niʻihi ke kakapa atu ki he ngaahi monū ʻi he fakatahaʻangá?
3 Fēfē ha tangata Kalisitiane ʻokú ne toumoua nai ke kakapa atu ki he monū ke hoko ko ha sevāniti pea faai atu ʻo hoko ko ha tokotaha mātuʻa koeʻuhí ʻokú ne ongoʻi taʻefeʻunga? ʻOkú ne loto-hohaʻa nai hangē ko Nick, ʻo pehē ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu ʻa e pōtoʻi ʻoku fiemaʻu ke hoko ai ko ha tauhi-sipi lavameʻá. ʻI he tuʻunga ko ha tokoua ʻosi papitaisó, ʻokú ke ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ongoʻi peheé? ʻOku totonu pē ʻa e ngaahi loto-moʻua peheé ia. ʻE fai ʻe he kau mātuʻá ha fakamatala kia Sihova ki he founga ʻo ʻenau fakafeangai ki he fanga sipí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Ko ia kuo foaki ki ai ha meʻa lahi, ʻe fiemaʻu mei ai ha meʻa lahi: pehē foki, ka tuku ʻe he kakai ha fuʻu meʻa ki ha taha ke tauhi, pea hulu atu mo e meʻa ʻe ʻeke kiate ia.”—Luke 12:48.
4. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono tokoniʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia ʻokú ne fakanofo ke nau tokangaʻi ʻene fanga sipí?
4 ʻOku ʻamanekina mai ʻe Sihova mei he faʻahinga ko ia ʻokú ne fakanofo ko e kau sevāniti mo e kau mātuʻá ke nau fua ʻa e fatongiá ʻiate kinautolu pē? ʻIkai, ʻokú ne tokonaki mai ʻa e tokoni ʻaonga ʻoku fakaivia ai kinautolu ke ʻoua ʻe ngata pē ʻi he fekuki mo iá ka ke toe lavameʻa ai. Hangē ko ia naʻe lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu ki muʻá, ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ʻa ia ko hono fuá ē ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau tokanga ʻofa ki he fanga sipí. (Ngāue 20:28; Kaletia 5:22, 23) Tānaki atu ki ai, ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻa e poto, ʻilo mo e ʻiloʻilo. (Palovepi 2:6) ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻene fai ʻení? Tau lāulea angé ki he ngaahi founga ʻe tolu ʻa ia ʻoku akoʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga tāutaha ko ia ʻokú ne fakanofo ke nau tokangaʻi ʻene fanga sipí.

5 ʻI he tuʻu ʻa e ongo ʻapositolo ko Pita mo Sioné ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Sanetalimí, naʻe vakai ʻa e kau fakamaau poto fakamāmani ko iá ki he ongo tangatá ni ko e “ongo meʻa taʻe kolisi kinaua, pea taʻe maʻu tuʻunga.” ʻOku moʻoni, naʻe malava ke na lautohi mo tohi, ka naʻe ʻikai te na maʻu ha ako fakalāpai ʻi hono ako ʻo e Tohi Tapú. Neongo ia, naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe Pita mo Sione fakataha mo e kau ākonga kehé ko e kau faiako lavameʻa kinautolu, ʻi hono ueʻi ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e faʻahinga ko ia naʻe fanongo kiate kinautolú ke nau hoko ko e kau tui. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e hoko ʻa e kau tangata taʻemaʻu tuʻunga ko ʻení ko ha kau faiako tuʻu-ki-muʻa peheé? ʻI he hili ʻa e fanongo kia Pita mo Sioné, naʻe hanga hake ʻa e fakamaauʻangá ʻo nau “vakai, ta ko e ongo meʻa naʻe faʻa ʻia Sisu.” (Ngāue 4:1-4, 13) Ko hono moʻoní, naʻá na maʻu ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní. (Ngāue 1:8) Ka naʻe toe hā mahino ʻo aʻu ki he kau fakamaau kui fakalaumālie ko iá, naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ongo tangatá ni. ʻI he lolotonga ʻa e ʻi māmani ʻa Sīsū fakataha mo kinautolú, naʻá ne akoʻi ʻa e kau ʻapositoló ʻo ʻikai ki he founga pē ke fakatahatahaʻi mai ai ʻa e faʻahinga hangē ha sipí kae toe pehē foki ki he founga ke tauhi ai kinautolú ʻi he taimi pē ʻoku nau hoko ai ko e konga ʻo e tākangá.—Mātiu 11:29; 20:24-28; 1 Pita 5:4.
6. Ko e hā ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Sīsū mo Paula ʻi hono akoʻi ʻo e niʻihi kehé?
6 ʻI he hili ʻa e toetuʻu ʻa Sīsuú, naʻá ne hokohoko atu ke akoʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia naʻá ne fakanofo ko e kau tauhi-sipí. (Fakahā 1:1; 2:1–3:22) Ko e fakatātaá, naʻá ne fili ʻa Paula pea tokangaʻi hono akoʻí. (Ngāue 22:6-10) Naʻe houngaʻia ʻa Paula ʻi hono akoʻi iá peá ne vahevahe atu ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne akó ki he kau mātuʻa kehé. (Ngāue 20:17-35) Hangē ko ʻení, naʻá ne vaheʻi ʻa e taimi mo e ivi lahi ʻi hono akoʻi ʻo Tīmote ke hoko “ko e tangata ngaue ʻoku ʻikai mā” ʻi he ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá. (2 Timote 2:15) Naʻe maʻu ʻe he ongo tangatá ni ha vahaʻangatae vāofi. Ki muʻá, naʻe tohi ʻa Paula fekauʻaki mo Tīmote: “Hage koe foha moe tamai, kuo behe ene gaue mo au i he ogoogolelei.” (Filipai 2:22, PM) Naʻe ʻikai feinga ʻa Paula ke ʻai ʻa Tīmote pe ko ha taha kehe pē ko haʻane ākonga. ʻI hono kehé, naʻá ne fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e kaungātuí ke nau hoko ko e ‘kau faʻifaʻitaki kiate ia, ʻo hange foki ko ʻene faʻifaʻitaki aʻana kia Kalaisí.’—1 Kolinito 10:34 (1Ko 11:1, PM).

7 ʻI he faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū mo Paulá, ʻoku tamuʻomuʻa ʻa e kau tauhi-sipi taukeí ʻi hono akoʻi ʻo e fanga tokoua ʻosi papitaisó, ʻo maʻu ai ʻa e ngaahi ola lelei meimei tatau. Fakakaukau angé ki he meʻa naʻe hokosia ʻe Chad. Naʻe ʻohake ia ʻi ha fāmili māvahevahe fakalotu ka naʻe fakanofo ia ki muí ni ko ha tokotaha mātuʻa. ʻOkú ne pehē: “ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kuo maliu atú, naʻe tokoniʻi ai au ʻe ha kau mātuʻa taukei ke u fakalakalaka fakalaumālie. Koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaí ko ha tokotaha taʻetui, naʻe fakahāhā ʻe he kau mātuʻa ko iá ha mahuʻingaʻia fakafoʻituitui ʻiate au pea nau hoko ʻo hangē ha fanga tamai fakalaumālié kiate au. Naʻa nau vaheʻi ʻa e taimi ke akoʻi ai au ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá, pea ki mui aí, naʻe tautefito ki ha tokotaha mātuʻa ʻe taha naʻá ne akoʻi au ki hono tokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fatongia fakaefakatahaʻanga naʻá ku maʻú.”
8 Hangē ko ia ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he meʻa naʻe hokosia ʻe Chad, ʻoku kamata hono akoʻi ʻe he kau tauhi-sipi ʻiloʻiló ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻamanekina ke nau hoko ko e kau sevāniti fakafaifekau mo e kau mātuʻá ki muʻa fuoloa ia pea toki fakalakalaka feʻunga ʻa e faʻahingá ni ke nau taau ai ki he ngaahi monū peheé. Ko e hā ʻoku pehē aí? Koeʻuhi ʻoku tuʻutuʻuni mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻoku fiemaʻu ki he kau sevāniti fakafaifekaú mo e kau mātuʻá fakatouʻosi ke nau aʻusia ha tuʻunga māʻolunga fakaeʻulungāanga mo fakalaumālie ki muʻa ke fakanofo kinautolú. Kuo pau ke ʻuluaki ‘siviʻi kinautolu.’—1 Timote 3:1-10.
9. Ko e hā ʻa e fatongia ke fai ʻe he kau tauhi-sipi matuʻotuʻá, pea ko e hā ʻoku nau fai ai iá?
9 Kapau ko e taumuʻá ia ke siviʻi ʻa e fanga tokoua ʻosi papitaisó, tā ʻoku totonu pē ke ʻuluaki akoʻi kinautolu. Ke fakatātaaʻi: Kapau ʻoku tala ki ha tokotaha ako ʻi ha ʻapiako ke ne sivi ʻi ha sivi faingataʻa naʻe ʻikai ke fai ʻe he kau faiakó ia hano akoʻi ia ki ai, ʻe lava ʻa e tokotaha akó ʻi he sivi ko iá? ʻOku mahino pē te ne tō. Ko ia ai, ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻa e akoʻi. Kae kehe, ʻoku akoʻi ʻe he kau faiako tokangá ʻa e kau akó ʻo ʻikai ko e fakataumuʻa pē ke lava ʻi ha sivi ka ke toe ngāueʻaki ʻa e ʻilo ʻoku nau maʻú. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ʻoku tokoniʻi ʻe he kau mātuʻa ngāue tōtōiví ʻa e fanga tokoua ʻosi papitaisó ke nau fakatupulekina ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ha tangata ke fakanofó ʻaki hono akoʻi papau kinautolu. ʻOku nau fai pehē ʻo ʻikai ʻi he taumuʻa pē ke tokoni ke fakanofo ʻa e fanga tokouá ni ka ke tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau toe malava foki ke tokanga feʻunga ki he fanga sipí. (2 Timote 2:2) Ko ia ai, kuo pau ki he fanga tokoua ʻosi papitaisó ke nau fai ʻenau tafaʻakí pea ngāue mālohi ke aʻusia ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga poto ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ha sevāniti fakafaifekau pe ko ha tokotaha mātuʻá. (Taitusi 1:5-9) Ka neongo ia, ʻi heʻenau loto-lelei ke akoʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau kakapa atú ki he fatongia ʻi he fakatahaʻangá, ʻoku malava ai ʻe he kau tauhi-sipi taukeí ke tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau fakalakalaka vave ange.
