Ko Te ʼu Faka Mālamagia ʼi Te Temi ʼo Te Kau ʼApositolo

“Kua hā te mālama maʼa te tagata faitotonu, pea mo te fiafia maʼa nātou ʼaē ʼe faitotonu tonatou loto.”—Pesalemo 97:11.

1. E feafeaʼi ia ʼaho nei te tatau ʼa te kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova mo te kau ʼuluaki Kilisitiano?

ʼE TOU leleiʼia ʼaupito ʼi totatou ʼuhiga kau Kilisitiano moʼoni, te ʼu palalau ʼaē ʼe tuʼu ia Pesalemo 97:11! Kua tuʼa lahi te ‘hā ʼo te mālama’ kia tatou. ʼIo, ko ʼihi ia tatou neʼe nātou sisio ki te gigila ʼo te mālama ʼa Sehova ʼi te lolotoga ʼo ni ʼu taʼu ʼe lauʼi hogofulu. ʼAki te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaia ʼe tou manatuʼi ai te ʼu palalau ʼaē ʼe tuʼu ia Tāʼaga Lea 4:18, ʼaē ʼe tou lau ai: “Ko te ala ʼo te kau faitotonu ʼe hage ko te mālama gigila ʼaē ʼe fakaʼāʼāsili tana mālama ʼo aʼu ki te katoa ʼo te mafoa ʼo te ʼaho.” Mai tona ʼaluʼaga ʼaē ʼe tou faka maʼuhigaʼi tāfito te Tohi-Tapu ʼi te talatisio, ko tatou te kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova ʼe tou hage ko te kau ʼuluaki Kilisitiano. Ko tanatou aga ʼe feala pe ke ʼasi lelei ʼi te ʼu tohi faka hisitolia ʼo te ʼu Tohi Faka Keleka Faka Kilisitiano, ʼo toe feiā mo te ʼu tohi ʼaē ʼi ai, ʼaē neʼe tohi ʼaki te takitaki ʼo te laumālie ʼo te ʼAtua.

2. Neʼe koteā te ʼu ʼuluaki faka mālamagia ʼaē neʼe maʼu e te kau tisipulo ʼa Sesu ʼi te ʼu ʼuluaki faka mālamagia?

² ʼI te ʼu ʼuluaki faka mālamagia ʼaē neʼe maʼu e te kau ʼuluaki tisipulo ʼa Sesu Kilisito, neʼe tuku age kia nātou te faka mālamagia ʼo ʼuhiga mo te Mesia. Neʼe ʼui fēnei age e Atelea ki tona tēhina ko Simone Petelo: “Kua mātou maʼu te Mesia.” (Soane 1:41) Ki muli age, ko te Tāmai ʼaē ʼe ʼi selo neʼe ina faka fealagia ki te ʼapositolo ko Petelo ke fakamoʼoni ki te meʼa ʼaia ʼi te temi ʼaē neʼe ina ʼui fēnei age ai kia Sesu Kilisito: “Ko koe ko Kilisito, te ʼAlo ʼo te ʼAtua maʼuli.”—Mateo 16:16, 17; Soane 6:68, 69.

Ko Te Mālama ʼo ʼUhiga Mo Te Gāue Fai Faka Mafola

3, 4. ʼI tana ʼosi fakatuʼuake, koteā te faka mālamagia ʼaē neʼe foaki e Sesu ki tana kau tisipulo ʼo ʼuhiga mo tanatou gāue ki te temi ka haʼu?

³ ʼI te ʼosi ʼo tona fakatuʼuake, neʼe foaki e Sesu Kilisito te ʼu faka mālamagia ʼo ʼuhiga mo te gāue ʼaē ʼe fakamaʼua ki tana kau tisipulo fuli. ʼE mahino papau ia, neʼe ko te toko 500 tisipulo ʼaē neʼe fakatahitahi ʼi Kalilea ʼaē neʼe ina fai kiai te palalau ʼaenī: “Koutou ʼolo pea ke koutou fai ni ʼu tisipulo ʼi te hahaʼi ʼo te ʼu fenua fuli pe, ʼo papitemaʼi ia nātou ʼi te huafa ʼo te Tāmai pea mo te ʼAlo pea mo te laumālie maʼoniʼoni, ʼo koutou ako ia nātou ke nātou mulimuli ki te ʼu meʼa fuli pe ʼaē neʼe ʼau fakatotonu atu kia koutou. Pea koʼeni, ʼe ʼau nofo mo koutou ʼi te ʼaho fuli pe, ʼo kaku ki te fakaʼosi ʼo te tuʼu ʼo te ʼu faʼahiga meʼa ʼaenī.” (Mateo 28:19, 20; 1 Kolonito 15:6) ʼO mulimuli ki te meʼa ʼaia, ko te kau tisipulo fuli ʼa Kilisito neʼe tonu ke nātou liliu ko te kau fai faka mafola, pea ko tanatou gāue fai faka mafola neʼe mole tonu ke gata pe ki “te faga ōvi ʼaē kua hēhē ʼo te ʼapi ʼo Iselaele.” (Mateo 10:6) Neʼe mole kei tonu ke nātou fai te papitema ʼa Soane ʼaē ko te fakatātā ʼo te fakahemala ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fakamolemole ʼo te ʼu agahala. Kae, neʼe tonu ke nātou papitemaʼi te hahaʼi ʼi “te huafa ʼo te Tāmai pea mo te ʼAlo pea mo te laumālie maʼoniʼoni.”

⁴ ʼI muʼa ʼo te hake ʼa Sesu ki selo, neʼe fehuʼi fēnei age e tana kau ʼapositolo agatonu ʼaē e toko 11: “ ʼAliki, ʼe ko te temi koa ʼaenī ʼaē ʼe ke toe fakatuʼu ai te puleʼaga maʼa Iselaele?” Neʼe mole ina tali ki te fehuʼi ʼaia, kae neʼe foaki e Sesu te tahi ʼu fakatotonu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te gāue fai faka mafola, ʼo ʼui maʼana: “ ʼE koutou maʼu anai te mālohi mokā hifo atu anai te laumālie maʼoniʼoni kia koutou pea ʼe koutou liliu anai ko haku kau fakamoʼoni ʼi Selusalemi pea mo Sutea katoa pea mo Samalia ʼo kaku ki te potu ʼaē ʼe mamaʼo ʼo te kele.” ʼO aʼu mai ki te lakaga ʼaia, neʼe ko nātou ko te kau fakamoʼoni pe ʼa Sehova, kae ʼi te temi leva ʼaē kua nātou toe liliu foki ko te kau fakamoʼoni ʼa Kilisito.—Gāue 1:6-8.

5, 6. Koteā te ʼu faka mālamagia ʼaē neʼe maʼu ʼi te Penikosite e te kau tisipulo ʼa Sesu?

⁵ Hili kiai ʼaho e hogofulu, neʼe maʼu te ʼu faka mālamagia e te ʼu tisipulo ʼa Sesu! ʼI te ʼaho ʼo te Penikosite ʼo te taʼu 33 ʼo totatou temi, ko tanatou hoki mahino katoa ʼaia ki te faka ʼuhiga ʼo te ʼu palalau ʼa Soele 2:28, 29: “ ʼE ʼau [ia Sehova] folahi moʼoni anai toku laumālie ki te faʼahiga kakano fuape, pea ʼe mahino papau ia, ko tokotou ʼu foha pea mo tokotou ʼu ʼofafine ʼe nātou lea faka polofeta anai. Pea ki takotou kau matutuʼa, ʼe nātou moemisi anai ki te ʼu misi. Pea ko tokotou kau tūpulaga, ʼe nātou sisio anai ki te ʼu meʼa ʼe hā. Pea māʼia mo te kau tagata kaugana pea mo te kau kaugana fafine, ʼi te ʼu ʼaho ʼaia, ʼe ʼau folahi anai kia nātou toku laumālie.” Ko te kau tisipulo ʼa Sesu neʼe nātou sisio ki te laumālie maʼoniʼoni, neʼe hā ʼi te agaaga ʼo he ʼu ʼaleloʼi afi, neʼe tahi mafola ʼi tonatou ʼu fuga ʼulu—neʼe ko te toko 120, tagata mo fafine—neʼe nātou fakatahi ʼi Selusalemi.—Gāue 1:12-15; 2:1-4.

⁶ Tahi ʼaē meʼa, ʼi te ʼaho ʼaia ʼo te Penikosite, neʼe hoki mahino ai te kau tisipulo ki te ʼu palalau ʼaē ʼe tuʼu ia Pesalemo 16:10, ʼaē ʼe faka ʼuhiga ki te toe fakatuʼuake ʼo Sesu Kilisito. Ko te tagata fai pesalemo neʼe ina ʼui fēnei: “ ʼE [ia Sehova ʼAtua] mole ke līaki anai toku nefesi ʼi te Seole. ʼE mole ke tuku anai ke sio tau tagata agatonu ki te luo.” Neʼe mahino ki te kau tisipulo ko te ʼu palalau ʼaia neʼe mole feala ke faka ʼuhiga ki te Hau ko Tavite, koteʼuhi ko tona falemaka neʼe nofo mo nātou ʼo aʼu mai ki te ʼaho nei. Pea ʼe mole ko he meʼa fakapuna’maʼuli ki te toko 3 000 ʼaē neʼe fagono ki te fakamatalatala ʼo te mālama foʼou ʼaia, ke nātou papitema ʼi te ʼaho pe ʼaia he kua nātou tui moʼoni kiai!—Gāue 2:14-41.

7. Koteā te mālama gigila ʼaē neʼe maʼu e te ʼapositolo ko Petelo ʼi tana lolotoga ʼalu ʼo ʼaʼahi te ofisie ʼo te kautau Loma ko Kolonelio?

⁷ ʼI te lolotoga ʼo te ʼu sēkulō, neʼe kua ʼiloʼi e te kau Iselaele te meʼa ʼaē neʼe ʼui e te ʼAtua ʼo ʼuhiga mo nātou: “Neʼe ko koutou pe ʼaē neʼe ʼau ʼiloʼi ʼi te ʼu famili fuli ʼo te kele.” (Amosi 3:2) Koia neʼe ko he faka mālamagia moʼoni ʼaē neʼe maʼu e te ʼapositolo ko Petelo pea mo nātou ʼaē neʼe kaugā fagona mo ia ki te ʼapi ʼo te tagata ofisie Loma ko Kolonelio, ʼi te temi ʼaē neʼe hoki hifo ai te laumālie maʼoniʼoni ki te hahaʼi tui Senitile ʼaē neʼe mole silikosisioʼi. ʼE maʼuhiga ke fakatokagaʼi neʼe ko te ʼaluʼaga pe ʼaia e tahi neʼe foaki ai te laumālie maʼoniʼoni ʼi muʼa ʼo te papitema. Kae neʼe maʼuhiga te faʼahi ʼaia, he neʼe feala ai ke ʼiloʼi e Petelo ko te kau Senitile ʼaia ʼaē neʼe mole silikosisio neʼe feala ke nātou papitema. ʼI tana mahino lelei ki te meʼa ʼaia neʼe hoko, neʼe fehuʼi fēnei e Petelo: “ ʼE feala koa ki he tahi ke ina tapuʼi te vai, ke ʼaua naʼa papitemaʼi ia nātou ʼaenī [te kau Senitile], ia nātou ʼaē neʼe foaki ki ai te laumālie maʼoniʼoni ohage ko tatou?” ʼIo, neʼe mole lava ki he tahi ke ina fakafihiʼi te meʼa ʼaia, pea neʼe papitemaʼi atu aipe te kau Senitile.—Gāue 10:44-48; vakaʼi ia Gāue 8:14-17.

ʼE Mole Kei Fakamaʼua Te Silikosisio

8. He koʼe koa neʼe mata faigataʼa ki ʼihi Kilisitiano ʼo te temi muʼa ke nātou līaki te akonaki ʼo te silikosisio?

⁸ Ko te tahi faka mālamagia ʼo te moʼoni neʼe hā ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fehuʼi ʼaē ʼo te silikosisio. Ko te silikosisio neʼe kamata ʼi te taʼu 1919 ʼi muʼa ʼo totatou temi ʼaki te fuakava ʼa Sehova pea mo Apalahamo. Koia, neʼe fakatotonu e te ʼAtua ʼe tonu kia Apalahamo pea mo te hahaʼi tagata fuli ʼo tona loto fale ke nātou silikosisio. (Senesi 17:9-14, 23-27) Pea neʼe liliu ai leva te silikosisio ko te fakaʼiloga ʼaē neʼe ina fakakeheʼi te hōloga ʼo Apalahamo. Pea neʼe nātou fialahi ʼuhi ko te meʼa ʼaia! Koia, ko te kupu ʼaē ko te “mole silikosisio” neʼe liliu ko he kupu fakamanukinuki. (Isaia 52:1; 1 Samuele 17:26, 27) ʼE faigafua ai hakita mahino pe koʼe ko ʼihi kau Kilisitiano Sutea ʼo te temi muʼa neʼe nātou fia taupau te fakaʼiloga ʼaia. Ko ʼihi ia nātou neʼe lahi tanatou palalau mo Paulo pea mo Palanapasi ʼo ʼuhiga mo te faʼahi ʼaia. Moʼo fakatokatoka ʼo te faʼahi ʼaia, ko Paulo pea mo ʼihi ia nātou neʼe nātou ʼolo ki Selusalemi ʼo faka felogoi mo te kolesi pule ʼo te kau Kilisitiano.—Gāue 15:1, 2.

9. Koteā te ʼu faka mālamagia ʼaē neʼe fakahā ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼuluaki kolesi pule, ohage ko tona tuʼu ia Gāue kapite 15?

⁹ ʼI te ʼaluʼaga ʼaia, neʼe mole maʼu e te kau ʼuluaki Kilisitiano ʼaia he fakamahino faka milakulo ʼo ʼuhiga mo te silikosisio ʼe mole kei fakamaʼua ki te kau kaugana ʼa Sehova. Kae, neʼe nātou maʼu ʼaki te temi te mālama ʼaia ʼaki te vakavakaʼi ʼo te Tohi-Tapu, ʼo nātou falala ki te taki ʼa te laumālie maʼoniʼoni, pea mo nātou fagono ki te ʼu fakamatala ʼa Petelo pea mo Paulo ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fakatafoki ʼo te kau Senitile ʼaē neʼe mole silikosisio. (Gāue 15:6-21) Neʼe maʼu te tonu ʼi te tohi ʼe ina ʼui fēnei: “Ko te laumālie maʼoniʼoni pea mo mātou totonu, kua mātou fakafuafua ʼe lelei ke ʼaua naʼa mātou ʼai kia koutou he tahi age kavega ʼi te ʼu meʼa ʼaenī ʼe ʼaoga: ʼaē ko te fakamamaʼo mai te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe sakilifisioʼi ki te ʼu tamapua, pea mo te toto, pea mo te meʼa ʼaē neʼe tege, pea mo te folonikasio.” (Gāue 15:28, 29) Koia ko te kau ʼuluaki Kilisitiano neʼe nātou ʼāteaina mai te fakatotonu ʼaē ʼo ʼuhiga mo te silikosisio pea mo te tahi ʼatu ʼu maʼua ʼo te Lao ʼa Moisese. Koia, neʼe feala ke ʼui fēnei ai e Paulo ki te kau Kilisitiano ʼo Kalate: “ ʼE ko he ʼāteaina feiā ʼaē neʼe faka ʼāteaina ai tatou e Kilisito.”—Kalate 5:1.

Ko Te Mālama ʼi Te ʼu Evaselio

10. Neʼe koteā te ʼu faʼahiga faka mālamagia ʼaē neʼe fakahā ʼi te Evaselio ʼa Mateo?

¹⁰ ʼE mahino ia ko te Evaselio ʼa Mateo ʼaē neʼe tohi ʼi te taʼu 41 ʼo totatou temi, ʼe maʼu ai he ʼu tuʼuga faka mālamagia ʼe ʼaoga ki tana kau lautohi. ʼI te ʼuluaki sēkulō, ko te kau Kilisitiano e tokosiʼi ʼaē neʼe fagono totonu ki te ʼu fai akonaki ʼa Sesu. Tāfito la, ko te Evaselio ʼa Mateo ʼe ina faka maʼuhigaʼi ko te kupu tāfito ʼo te fai faka mafola ʼa Sesu neʼe ko te Puleʼaga. Pea neʼe fakahā e Sesu ʼe maʼuhiga ʼaupito ke lelei te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼi totatou loto! Neʼe ʼi ai te ʼu faka mālamagia ʼi tana Akonaki ʼi te Moʼuga, ʼi tana ʼu lea fakatātā (ohage la ko te ʼu lea fakatātā ʼaē ʼe tuʼu ʼi te kapite 13), pea mo tana lea faka polofeta lahi ʼaē ʼi te kapite 24 pea mo te kapite 25! Neʼe fakahā te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaia ki te kau ʼuluaki Kilisitiano ʼi te ʼu fakamatala ʼo te Evaselio ʼa Mateo, ʼaē neʼe lagi tohi ʼi te hili ʼo taʼu e valu ki te Penikosite ʼo te taʼu 33 ʼo totatou temi.

11. Koteā te meʼa neʼe feala ke ʼui ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe tohi ʼi te Evaselio ʼa Luka pea mo Maleko?

¹¹ Neʼe lagi tohi e Luka tana Evaselio ʼi te ʼosi ʼo taʼu e 15 ki muli age. Logope la e lahi te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe talanoa kiai ʼe tatau mo te ʼu fakamatala ʼa Mateo, ko te 59 ki te teau ʼo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe ina fakamatala ʼe mole maʼu ʼi te ʼu Evaselio ʼaē.

Logope la ko te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe talanoa kiai ia Maleko neʼe kua ʼosi fakahā e Mateo pea mo Luka, neʼe talanoa ia ki te lea fakatātā neʼe mole nā talanoa kiai. ʼI te lea fakatātā ʼaia, neʼe fakatatau e Sesu te Puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua ki te pulapula ʼe homo, ʼe tuputupu, pea ʼe tuputupu māmālie tona fua.a—Maleko 4:26-29.

12. Koteā te tahi ʼu faka mālamagia ʼaē ʼe maʼu ʼi te Evaselio ʼa Soane?

¹² Pea neʼe tohi e Soane tana Evaselio, hili kiai taʼu e 30 tupu ʼi te ʼosi tohi e Maleko tana Evaselio. ʼE ko he toe mālama lahi neʼe tuku mai e Soane ʼo ʼuhiga mo te minisitelio ʼa Sesu, kae tāfito ʼaki te ʼatu ʼu fakamatala ʼaē neʼe ina fai ʼo ʼuhiga mo Tona maʼuli ʼi muʼa ʼo tana tupu tagata!

¹³ Neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi tāfito te ʼapositolo ko Paulo ke ina foaki te ʼu faka mālamagia ʼo ʼuhiga mo te moʼoni ki te kau Kilisitiano ʼaē neʼe maʼuʼuli ʼi te temi ʼo te kau ʼapositolo. Ohage la, ʼe ʼi ai te tohi ʼa Paulo ki te kau Loma, ʼaē neʼe lagi tohi ʼi te taʼu 56 ʼo totatou temi—ʼo teitei pe ʼi te temi ʼaē neʼe tohi ai e Luka tana Evaselio. ʼI te tohi ʼaia ʼa Paulo, ʼe ina faka maʼuhigaʼi te faʼahi ʼaenī, ʼe tou faitotonu ʼuhi ko te ʼofa makehe ʼa te ʼAtua pea mo te tui ʼaē kia Sesu Kilisito. Ko te faka maʼuhigaʼi ʼaupito e Paulo ia te faʼahi ʼaia ʼo ʼuhiga mo te logo lelei, neʼe ina uga ʼihi ke nātou fakaʼaogaʼi tana tohi ʼaē ki te kau Loma ohage pe neʼe ko he nima Evaselio.

14-16. (a) ʼI tana ʼuluaki tohi ki te kau Kilisitiano ʼo Kolonito, koteā te mālama ʼaē neʼe foaki e Paulo ʼo ʼuhiga mo te logo tahi? (b) Koteā te tahi faka mālamagia ʼaē ʼe maʼu ʼi te ʼUluaki Tohi ʼo Kolonito ʼo ʼuhiga mo te aga?

¹⁴ Neʼe faitohi Paulo ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼu faʼahiga meʼa neʼe mole mahino lelei kiai te kau Kilisitiano ʼo Kolonito. Ko tana tohi ʼaē ki te kau Kolonito ʼe lahi ai te ʼu tokoni ʼe haʼu mai te ʼAtua neʼe fua lelei ki te kau Kilisitiano ʼo te temi ʼaia ʼo feiā mo te kau Kilisitiano ʼo te temi ʼaenī. ʼUluaki, neʼe tonu ke ina fakamahinohino ki te kau Kolonito te manatu hala ʼaē neʼe ia nātou ʼi tanatou tauhi ki te tagata ohage ko tanatou fai ki ʼihi. Neʼe fakatonutonuʼi e te ʼapositolo tonatou manatu, ʼo ina ʼui age kia nātou ʼaki he lototoʼa: “ ʼE ʼau fakaloto mālohiʼi koutou, ʼu tēhina, ʼaki te huafa ʼo totatou ʼAliki ko Sesu Kilisito, ke koutou logo tahi ʼi ʼakotou palalau, pea ke ʼaua naʼa ʼi ai he ʼu maveuveu ia koutou, kae ke koutou logo tahi fakalelei ʼi he ʼatamai pe e tahi pea mo he manatu pe e tahi.”—1 Kolonito 1:10-15.

¹⁵ Ko te ʼu aga heʼeʼaoga fakalialia neʼe fakagafua pe ia ʼi te kokelekasio faka Kilisitiano ʼi Kolonito. Ko te tagata neʼe ina fai mo te ʼohoana ʼo tana tāmai, ‘te folonikasio lahi neʼe heʼeki hoko ʼi te ʼu puleʼaga.’ Koia, neʼe tohi fakalelei e te ʼapositolo ko Paulo te meʼa ʼaenī: “Koutou toʼo te tagata agakovi ʼi te lotolotoiga ʼo koutou.” (1 Kolonito 5:1, 11-13) Ko te meʼa ʼaia neʼe ko he meʼa foʼou ki te kokelekasio faka Kilisitiano—ko te fakamavae ʼo he tahi. Ko te tahi meʼa neʼe ʼaoga ke fakamahinohino age ki te kokelekasio ʼo Kolonito, ko ʼihi ʼi te kokelekasio neʼe nātou ʼave ʼonatou ʼu tēhina fakalaumālie ki te ʼu telepinale moʼo fakatokatoka ʼo he ʼu hala. Neʼe fakatonutonuʼi fakamālohi e Paulo ia nātou ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fai ʼo te faʼahi ʼaia.—1 Kolonito 6:5-8.

¹⁶ Ko te tahi meʼa neʼe hoko ʼi te kokelekasio ʼo Kolonito neʼe ko te ʼu felāveʼi fakasino. Ia 1 Kolonito kapite 7, neʼe fakahā e Paulo ʼuhi ko te fai ʼo te ʼu felāveʼi fakasino heʼeʼaoga, ʼe lelei anai ki te tagata fuli ke tahi nofo mo tona ʼohoana totonu, ʼo toe feiā pe mo nātou fafine. Neʼe toe fakahā e Paulo, logope la ko te hahaʼi ʼaē heʼeki ʼohoana ʼe feala hanatou kaugana ʼāteaina kia Sehova, ka mole ko te hahaʼi fuli ʼaē ʼe nātou maʼu te kalitate ʼaē ko te nofo selipatea. Pea kapau ko he fafine ʼe mate tona ʼohoana, pea ʼe toe feala anai ke toe ʼohoana mo he tahi kehe kae ke ʼohoana “ ʼi te ʼAliki pe.”—1 Kolonito 7:39.

17. Koteā te faka mālamagia ʼaē neʼe foaki e Paulo ʼo ʼuhiga mo te akonaki ʼaē ʼo te fakatuʼuake?

¹⁷ ʼI tana fakaʼaogaʼi ia Paulo, neʼe lahi te ʼu faka mālamagia neʼe fakahā e te ʼAliki ʼo ʼuhiga mo te toe fakatuʼuake! Ko te faʼahiga sino feafeaʼi ʼaē ka maʼu anai e te kau Kilisitiano fakanofo ʼi tonatou fakatuʼuake? Neʼe tohi fēnei e Paulo: “ ʼE tūtū ia ko te sino kakano, ʼe fakatuʼuake ia ko te sino fakalaumālie.” ʼE mole toʼo anai ki selo he sinoʼi tagata, heʼe “ko te kakano pea mo te toto ʼe mole feala ke nā maʼu te puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua.” Neʼe toe fakahā e Paulo ʼe mole ko te kau fakanofo fuli ʼaē ʼe momoe anai ʼi te mate, kae ʼi te lolotoga ʼo te ʼi henī ʼa Sesu ko ʼihi ʼe fakatuʼuake anai ʼi te moʼi temi pe ʼaē ʼe nātou mamate ai.—1 Kolonito 15:43-53.

18. Koteā te faka mālamagia ʼo ʼuhiga mo te temi ka haʼu neʼe tuʼu ʼi te ʼuluaki tohi ʼa Paulo ki te kau Tesalonika?

¹⁸ ʼI tana tohi ki te kau Kilisitiano ʼo Tesalonika, neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi ia Paulo moʼo fakamahino peʼe feafeaʼi anai te ka haʼu. Ko te ʼaho ʼo Sehova ʼe haʼu anai ohage ko he tagata kaihaʼa ʼi te pōʼuli. Neʼe toe fakamahinohino fēnei e Paulo: “Ka nātou ʼui anai: ‘Tokalelei pea mo fīmālie!’ pea ʼe tonu anai ke hoko fakafokifā he fakaʼauha kia nātou, ohage ko te ʼu nunuʼa ʼo te tuʼania ki te fafine faitama; pea ʼe mole nātou hāo anai.”—1 Tesalonika 5:2, 3.

19, 20. Koteā te ʼu faka mālamagia ʼaē neʼe maʼu e te kau Kilisitiano ʼo Selusalemi pea mo Sutea ʼi te tohi ʼa Paulo ki te kau Hepeleo?

¹⁹ ʼI tana faitohi ʼaē ki te kau Hepeleo, neʼe fakahā e Paulo te ʼu faka mālamagia ki te kau ʼuluaki Kilisitiano ʼo Selusalemi pea mo Sutea. Neʼe ina fakahā fakamālohi te maʼuhiga age ʼo te fakatuʼutuʼu ʼo te tauhi faka Kilisitiano ʼi te fakatuʼutuʼu ʼo te tauhi ʼa Moisese! ʼE mole nātou mulimuli ki te Lao ʼaē neʼe fakahā e te kau ʼaselo, kae ko te kau Kilisitiano ʼe nātou tui ki te fakamaʼuli ʼaē neʼe ʼuluaki fakahā e te ʼAlo ʼo te ʼAtua, ʼaē ʼe māʼoluga age ia ʼi te ʼu ʼaselo ʼave logo ʼaia. (Hepeleo 2:2-4) Ko Moisese neʼe ko te tagata faifekau pe ʼi te ʼapi ʼo te ʼAtua. Kae, ko Sesu Kilisito ʼe pule ia ki te fale katoa. Ko Kilisito ʼe ko he pelepitelo lahi ohage ko Melekiseteke, ʼo lahi age tona tuʼulaga ʼi te tuʼulaga faka pelepitelo ʼo Alone. Neʼe toe fakahā e Paulo ko te kau Iselaelite ʼe mole feala ke nātou hū ki te mālōlō ʼo te ʼAtua, koteʼuhi neʼe mole nātou tui pea neʼe nātou talagataʼa, kae ko te kau Kilisitiano ʼe nātou hū ki te mālōlō ʼo te ʼAtua ʼuhi ko tanatou agatonu pea mo tanatou fakalogo.—Hepeleo 3:1–4:11.

²⁰ ʼO toe feiā aipe, ko te fuakava foʼou ʼe lahi age ia ʼi te fuakava ʼo te Lao. Ohage ko te meʼa ʼaē neʼe fakakikite ia taʼu e 600 ki muʼa atu ia Selemia 31:31-34, ko nātou ʼaē ʼi te fuakava foʼou neʼe tohi te lao ʼa te ʼAtua ʼi tonatou ʼu loto pea neʼe nātou maʼu te fakamolemole moʼoni ʼo tanatou ʼu agahala. ʼE mole kei ʼaoga ki te kau Kilisitiano ke ʼi ai he pelepitelo lahi, ʼe ina fai he ʼu sakilifisio ʼi te taʼu fuli, maʼa tana ʼu agahala pea mo te ʼu agahala ʼa te hahaʼi, heʼe kua ʼi ai tanatou Pelepitelo Lahi ko Sesu Kilisito, ʼaē ʼe haohaoa, pea kua ina momoli tuʼa tahi te sakilifisio ki te ʼu agahala. Neʼe mole hū ia ki he koga potu taputapu neʼe faʼu ʼaki te ʼu nima ʼo te tagata ʼo fai ai tana mōlaga, kae neʼe hū ia ki te lagi, pea ʼi ai neʼe hā ia muʼa ʼo Sehova. Tahi ʼaē meʼa, ko te ʼu sakilifisio manu ʼaē neʼe fai ʼi te fuakava ʼo te Lao ʼa Moisese, neʼe mole feala ke nātou molehi katoa te ʼu agahala, ko te tupuʼaga la ʼaē ʼo te fai sakilifisio ʼi te taʼu fuli. Kae ko te sakilifisio ʼa Kilisito, neʼe mōlagaʼi tuʼa tahi pe, ʼo ina molehi te ʼu agahala. Ko te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaia ʼe nātou foaki te mālama ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fale lotu lahi fakalaumālie, pea ʼi tona ʼu malaʼe ʼe kaugana ai ia ʼaho nei te toe ʼo te kau fakanofo pea mo te “tahi ʼu ōvi.”—Soane 10:16; Hepeleo 9:24-28.

21. Koteā ʼaē neʼe fakahā ʼi te alatike ʼaenī ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fakahoko ʼo te manatu ʼaē ia Pesalemo 97:11 pea mo Tāʼaga Lea 4:18 ʼi te temi ʼo te kau ʼapositolo?

²¹ ʼE lahi te tahi ʼu faʼifaʼitaki, ohage la ko te ʼu faka mālamagia ʼaē ʼe maʼu ʼi te ʼu tohi ʼa te ʼapositolo ko Petelo pea mo te ʼu tohi ʼaē ʼa te ʼu tisipulo ko Sake pea mo Suta. Kae ko te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe kua tou talanoa kiai, ʼe feʼauga noa moʼo fakahā ko te Pesalemo 97:11 pea mo te Tāʼaga Lea 4:18 neʼe ʼi ai tonā ʼu fakahoko ʼi te temi ʼo te kau ʼapositolo. Ko te moʼoni neʼe kamata tuputupu mai te ʼu ʼaluʼaga pea mo te ʼu fakatā ʼo aʼu ki tona ʼu fakahoko pea mo tona ʼu meʼa moʼoni.—Kalate 3:23-25; 4:21-26.

22. Koteā te meʼa ʼaē neʼe hoko ʼi te ʼosi mate ʼa te kau ʼapositolo, pea koteā anai ka fakahā e te alatike ka hoa mai?

²² ʼI te ʼosi mate ʼa te kau ʼapositolo ʼa Sesu pea mo te malaga ʼo te ʼapositasia ʼaē neʼe fakakikite, ko te mālama ʼo te moʼoni neʼe mole kei mū mālohi. (2 Tesalonika 2:1-11) Kae ohage ko te meʼa ʼaē neʼe fakapapau e Sesu, hili kiai te ʼu sēkulō ko te Pule neʼe toe liliu mai pea neʼe ina maʼu “te tagata kaugana agatonu mo poto” ʼe ina tufa ki te “hahaʼi faifekau” tanatou meʼa kai ʼi tona temi totonu. Koia la ʼaē, neʼe fakanofo ai e Sesu Kilisito te kaugana ʼaia ki “ ʼana meʼa fuli.” (Mateo 24:45-47) Koteā te tahi ʼu faka mālamagia? ʼE tou talanoa anai kiai ʼi te alatike ka hoa mai.
