Ko e kau Kalisitiané ʻoku nau fakamoʻulaloa ki he ngaahi mafai fakaemāmani ko ení. Ko e kau pule ko ení ʻoku nau tauhi maʻu ʻa e maʻumaʻuluta ʻa e kakaí, fokotuʻu ʻa e lao, pea ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku aʻu ʻo nau taukapoʻi ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová. (Fkh. 12:16) Ko ia ʻoku fekauʻi mai ke tau ʻoatu kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi tukuhau, totongi, manavahē mo e fakaʻapaʻapa ʻoku nau fiemaʻú. (Loma 13:7) Neongo ia, ko e ngaahi puleʻanga fakaemāmani ko iá ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e mafaí koeʻuhí pē ʻoku fakaʻatā ʻe Sihova ke nau maʻu ia. Naʻe fakamahino ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko iá ʻi he taimi naʻe fakaʻeke ai ia ʻe he Kōvana Loma ko Ponitō Pailató. ʻI he lave ʻa Pailato ki he mafai naʻá ne maʻu ke fakahaofi ʻa e moʻui ʻa Sīsuú pe ke tāmateʻi iá, naʻe tala ange ʻe Sīsū: “Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mei ʻi ai hao mafai kiate au ka ne taʻeʻoua hono tuku atu kiate koe mei ʻolungá.” (Sione 19:9-11) Hangē pē ko e tuʻunga ʻo Pailató, ko e mafai ʻo e kotoa ʻo e kau pule fakaetangata mo e kau taki fakapolitikale ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻoku fakangatangata.

Ka ʻoku ʻikai lava ke tau talangofua ki he tangatá ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau fiemaʻu ai ke tau fai ha meʻa ʻoku tapui ʻe he ʻOtuá pe ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau tapui ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá.

8. Ko e hā ʻa e kehekehe ʻi he “māʻolungá” mo e “aoniú,” pea ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ení?

8 Ko e foʻi lea “māʻolunga” ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ki he “tuʻunga lelei ange, lahi ange, māʻolunga ange.” Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻuhinga iá “ki he tuʻunga lelei taha, lahi taha, māʻolunga taha.” Ko hono fakamatalaʻi eni ia ʻo ha foʻi lea ʻe taha​—ko e “aoniu.” Neongo ʻoku lave ki he ngaahi puleʻanga fakaetangatá ko e “ngaahi mafai māʻolungá,” ʻoku ʻi ai ha toe mafai ʻa ia ko e māʻolunga tahá ia​—ko e aoniú. ʻI he Tohi Tapú, ʻoku tuʻo fā hono ui ai ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ko e “Tokotaha Aoniú.”​—Tan. 7:18, 22, 25, 27.

“TOKOTAHA AONIÚ”

9. Ko e hā naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa e palōfita ko Tanielá ʻi he ngaahi vīsoné?

9 Naʻe mamata ʻa e palōfita ko Tanielá ʻi ha ngaahi vīsone naʻe fakahaaʻi mahino ai ʻa e aoniu ʻa Sihova ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi mafai kehé. Naʻe ʻuluaki mamata ʻa Taniela ki ha ngaahi fuʻu manu ʻe fā ʻoku nau fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi hau ʻi māmani ʻi he kuohilí mo e lolotongá ni​—Pāpilone, Mītia-Pēsia, Kalisi pea mo Loma pea mo hono huli ʻi onopōní, ʻa Pilitānia-ʻAmelika. (Tan. 7:1-3, 17) Naʻe mamata leva ʻa Taniela kia Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻokú ne ʻafio ʻi hono taloni fakahēvaní. (Tan. 7:9, 10) Ko e meʻa hono hoko naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa e palōfita faitōnunga ko iá ʻoku totonu ke hoko ko ha fakatokanga ki he kau pule ʻi he ʻaho ní.

10. Fakatatau ki he Taniela 7:13, 14, 27, ko hai ʻoku ʻoange ki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e tuʻunga-pule ki he māmaní, pea ko e hā ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi heni fekauʻaki mo Iá?

10 Lau ʻa e Taniela 7:13, 14, 27. Ko e ʻOtuá ʻokú ne toʻo ʻa e tuʻunga-pule kotoa pē mei he ngaahi puleʻanga fakaetangatá pea foaki ia ki ha niʻihi kehe ʻoku nau tuha ange mo mālohi ange. Ka kia hai? Ki ha “taha hangē ha foha ʻo e tangatá,” ko Sīsū Kalaisi, pea ki he “kakai tapu ʻa e Tokotaha Aoniú,” ʻa e toko 144,000 te nau pule “ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.” (Tan. 7:18) ʻOku hā mahino, ko Sihova “ʻa e Tokotaha Aoniú,” he ko ia toko taha pē ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e mafai ke fai ha ngāue pehē.

11. Ko e hā ha toe meʻa naʻe hiki ʻe Taniela ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e aoniu ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi puleʻangá?

11 Ko e meʻa naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa Taniela ʻi he vīsoné ʻoku fehoanaki ia mo e meʻa naʻá ne lave ki ai ki muʻa ange. Ko e “ʻOtua ʻo langí,” ko e lea ia ʻa Tanielá, ʻokú ne “fakahifo ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi pea fokotuʻu ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi.” Naʻá ne toe hiki “ko e Fungani Māʻolungá ʻa e Pule ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá pea ko ia ʻokú ne foaki ʻa e pulé ki ha taha pē ʻokú ne loto ki ai.” (Tan. 2:19-21; 4:17) Kuo ʻi ai ha taimi kuo fakahifo ai pe fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ha kau pule? ʻAupito!

Naʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo Pelisasá meiate ia pea ʻoange ia ki he kau Mītiá mo e kau Pēsiá (Sio ki he palakalafi 12)

12. ʻOmai ha fakatātā ʻo e founga hono fakahifo ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi mei honau taloní ʻi he kuohilí. (Sio ki he fakatātaá.)

12 Kuo fakahaaʻi mahino ʻe Sihova ʻene aoniú ʻi he “ngaahi mafai māʻolungá.” Fakakaukau ki ha fakatātā ʻe tolu. Ko Felo ʻo ʻIsipité naʻá ne tuku pōpula ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová pea toutou fakafisi ke tuku ange kinautolu. Ka naʻe fakatauʻatāinaʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá pea tuku ke melemo ʻa Felo ʻi he Tahi Kulokulá. (ʻEki. 14:26-28; Saame 136:15) Ko Tuʻi Pelisasa ʻo Pāpiloné naʻá ne fai ha kātoanga kai pea “hakeakiʻi [ʻa ia tonu] ke fakafepaki ki he ʻEiki ʻo e langí” pea “fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua siliva mo koula” kae ʻikai ko Sihova. (Tan. 5:22, 23) Ka naʻe fakatōkilaloʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e tangata hīkisia ko iá. ʻI he “pō pē ko iá,” naʻe tāmateʻi ʻa Pelisasa pea ko hono puleʻangá naʻe foaki ia ki he kau Mītiá mo e kau Pēsiá. (Tan. 5:28, 30, 31) Ko Tuʻi Hēlota ʻAkilipa I ʻo Pālesitainé naʻá ne fekauʻi ke tāmateʻi ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Sēmisí pea tuku pilīsone leva ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Pitá, pea mo e taumuʻa ke tāmateʻi ia. Ka naʻe taʻofi ʻe Sihova ʻa Hēlota mei heʻene fakahoko ʻene faʻufaʻú. “Naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová,” peá ne mate.​—Ngā. 12:1-5, 21-23.

13. ʻOmai ha fakatātā ʻo e founga naʻe ikunaʻi ai ʻe Sihova ha kulupu ʻo e kau pule.

13 Kuo toe fakahaaʻi foki ʻe Sihova ʻene aoniú ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e kulupu ʻo e kau pule. Naʻá ne faitau maʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo ʻai ke malava ke nau fakaʻauha ʻa e faʻahi ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi Kēnani ʻe 31 pea ke ikunaʻi ʻa e ngaahi konga lahi ʻo e Fonua ʻo e Talaʻofá.

Hili ʻene saí, ko Nepukanesa naʻá ne “fakahīkihikiʻi ʻa e Fungani Māʻolungá” pea fakahaaʻi ko “ʻene [Sihova] pulé ko ha pule taʻengata.” Naʻá ne toe pehē: “ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ʻe malava ke ne taʻofi ia.” (Tan. 4:30, 33-35) Hili hono ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa e anga-tonu ʻa Taniela ki he ʻOtuá pea fakahaofi ia ʻe Sihova mei he ʻana ʻo e fanga laioné, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Tuʻi Talaiasi: “Ki he kakaí ke nau tetetete ʻi he manavahē ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtua ʻo Tanielá. He ko e ʻOtua moʻui ia pea ʻokú ne tolonga ʻo taʻengata. Ko hono puleʻangá ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke ʻauha, pea ko hono tuʻunga-haú ʻoku taʻengata.”​—Tan. 6:7-10, 19-22, 26, 27, fkm. ʻi lalo.
