“Nakai ko e tau mena kai hokoia ke moui ai ha tagata, ka ko e tau kupu oti ne to mai he fofoga he Atua.”—MATAIO 4:4.
1. Ko e heigoa ne talahau he Tohi Tapu hagaao ke he matagahua he tau ulu magafaoa ke fakaako e fanau ha lautolu ke he tau puhala a Iehova?
KUA fakamanatu tumau e Iehova e tau ulu magafaoa ke he matagahua ha lautolu ke fakaako e fanau ha lautolu. Ko e fakaakoaga pihia ka tauteute aki e fanau ma e moui he mogonei mo e ke tauteute foki a lautolu ma e moui i mua. Ko e agelu ne hukui e Atua, ne fakakite ki a Aperahamo e matagahua hana ke fakaako hana kaina ke “taofi e lautolu ke he puhala a Iehova.” (Kenese 18:19) Kua foaki ke he tau matua Isaraela ke fakamaama ke he fanau ha lautolu e puhala ne laveaki he Atua a Isaraela mai Aikupito mo e puhala ne foaki e ia ki a lautolu e Fakatufono hana he Mouga ko Sinai, i Horepa. (Esoto 13:8, 9; Teutaronome 4:9, 10; 11:18-21) Kua tomatoma ke he tau ulu magafaoa Kerisiano ke feaki hake e fanau ha lautolu “ke he tau kupu akonaki mo e tau kupu fakamafana he Iki.” (Efeso 6:4) Pihia foki ka taha ni e matua ne fekafekau ki a Iehova, kua lata ia ia ke fakamakutu ke fakaako e fanau ke he tau puhala a Iehova.—2 Timoteo 1:5; 3:14, 15.
2. Kua lata kia ke fai fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa pete ni kua nakai fai tama he kaina? Fakamaama.
2 Nakai pehe e naia kua hokoia ni e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa ke he Kupu he Atua ma e kaina ne fai tama. Ka taute he tane mo e hoana e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa pete ni he nakai fai tama he kaina, kua fakakite he mena nei e mailoga mitaki ma e tau mena fakaagaga.—Efeso 5:25, 26.
3. Ko e ha kua aoga ke fakatumau e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa?
3 Ke moua e aoga lahi, kua lata ke foaki tumau e fakaakoaga, ke tatai mo e lesoni ne fakaako aki e Iehova a Isaraela he tutakale: “Nakai ko e tau mena kai hokoia ke moui ai e tagata, ka ko e tau mena oti ne fakato mai he fofoga he Atua ke moui ai e tagata.” (Teutaronome 8:3) Tuku ni ke he tau tutuaga he magafaoa, kua taute e falu kaina ke fakaako fakafahitapu; falu liga fakakuku e tau lesoni he fakaakoaga he tau aho takitaha. Ko e ha fakatokaaga ni ne fifili e koe, kia nakai toka e fakaakoaga ke hoko puleheu. ‘Kia fakaaoga e tau aho’ ma e magaaho ia. Ke taute e fakamoleaga ma e magaaho pihia ko e tuga e fakaputu tupe lahi. Ko e tau momoui ha lautolu he magafaoa hau kua hagahaga kelea lahi.—Efeso 5:15-17; Filipi 3:16.
Tau Foliaga ke Tokaloto
4, 5. (a) He puhala ia Mose, ko e heigoa ne fakatoka e Iehova ma e tau matua ke eke mo foliaga aoga he fakaakoaga he fanau ha lautolu? (e) Ko e heigoa ne putoia e mena ia ki ai he vaha nei?
4 He magaaho ka takitaki e koe e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa, to lahi mahaki e mitaki ka moua kaeke kua maaliali ki a koe e tau foliaga. Mailoga la falu puhala.
5 He tau fakaakoaga takitaha, kia lali ke feaki hake e fakaalofa ma Iehova ko e Atua. He fakapotopoto a Isaraela ke he kelekele tatai a Moapi, ato huhu atu a lautolu ke he Motu he Maveheaga, ne hataki e Mose a lautolu ke mataala ke he mena ka fakakite e Iesu he mogo fakamui ko e ‘poaki he fakatufono kua lahi.’ Ko e heigoa a ia? “Kia fakaalofa a koe kia Iehova hau a Atua mo e hau a loto katoa, mo e hau a agaga katoa, mo e hau a malolo katoa.” (Mataio 22:36, 37; Teutaronome 6:5) Ne ole a Mose ke he tau Isaraela ke peehi e mena nei ke he tau loto ha lautolu mo e ke fakaako age ke he ha lautolu a fanau. Kua lata ai ke liu fatiaki age, fakatonu age e tau kakano ke fakaalofa ki a Iehova, ke fehagai mo e tau aga mo e mahani ka fakaalaia aki e fakakiteaga he fakaalofa pihia, mo e fakatata e fakaalofa ma Iehova he tau momoui ha lautolu. Kua lata foki kia e fanau ha tautolu mo e fakaakoaga pihia? E! Mo e kua lata foki a lautolu ke ‘peritome e tau loto,’ pehe a ia, ke uta kehe oti e tau mena ka fakalavelave aki e fakaalofa ha lautolu ma e Atua. (Teutaronome 10:12, 16; Ieremia 4:4) Liga haia he tau fakalavelaveaga pihia e manako ma e tau mena he lalolagi mo e ma e tau magaaho ke fakatupa ke he tau gahua i ai. (1 Ioane 2:15, 16) Ko e fakaalofa ki a Iehova kua lata ke fakaaoga, ke omoi a tautolu ke taute e tau mena ne talia he Matua ha tautolu he lagi. (1 Ioane 5:3) Ma e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa hau ke tuleva e aoga, kua lata e tau fakaholoaga oti ke takitaki ke he puhala ka fakamalolo e fakaalofa nei.
6. (a) Ko e heigoa kua lata ke foaki e iloilo tonu? (e) Peehi fefe he tau Tohiaga Tapu e aoga he iloilo tonu?
6 Kia fakaako e iloilo tonu he tau poakiaga he Atua. Ko e heigoa kua putoia ki ai? Kua putoia lahi atu ke he totou mai ni e tali he mekasini po ke tohi. Kua fa mahani e tau fakatutalaaga ke iloa moli kua maama maaliali tuai e tau kupu alito mo e tau matapatu manatu. Ko e iloilo tonu kua aoga lahi ke tui e tagata fou, ke mailoga e tau mena aoga moli he magaaho ka fehagai mo e tau mena vihi he moui, mo e, taute e tau mena ne fiafia moli e Atua.—Filipi 1:9-11; Kolose 1:9, 10; 3:10.
7. (a) Ko e fakaaoga he tau huhu fe ka liga lagomatai e magafaoa ke taute e tau fakagahuaaga he valatala ne fakaako? (e) Peehi fefe he tau Tohiaga Tapu e uho he foliaga pihia?
7 Lagomatai ke fakagahua e tau mena ne fakaako. Mo e foliaga nei i mua, he magahala he tau fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa takitaha, kia huhu: ‘To lauia fefe e fakaakoaga nei ke he tau momoui ha tautolu? Kua lata kia ke hiki mai he mena hane taute e tautolu he mogonei? Ko e ha kua lata ia tautolu ke taute e tau hikihikiaga?’ (Tau Fakatai 2:10-15; 9:10; Isaia 48:17, 18) He foaki e tau magaaho kua lata ke he fakagahuaaga he tau mena fakaako ka eke mo vala aoga he tupu fakaagaga ha lautolu he magafaoa.
Fakaaoga Fakapulotu e Tau Kanavaakau Fakaako
8. Ko e heigoa e tau kanavaakau ma e fakaakoaga Tohi Tapu ne foaki mai he vahega fekafekau?
8 Kua foaki mai he “fekafekau fakamoli mo e loto matala” e tau kanavaakau loga ke fakaaoga ma e fakaakoaga. Ko e mekasini Kolo Toko, ke fakaaoga mo e Tohi Tapu, kua moua ai ke he 131 e vagahau. Kua ha ha ai e tau tohi ma e fakaakoaga he Tohi Tapu ke he 153 e vagahau, tau porosua ke he 284, tau autiokasete ke he 61, tau vitiokasete ke he 41, mo e tau polokalama komopiuta ma e kumikumiaga faka-Tohi Tapu ke he 9 e vagahau!—Mataio 24:45-47.
9. Liga fakagahuahua fefe e tautolu e fakatonuaga he tau kupu Tohi Tapu ne fakakite i loto he paratafa nei he magaaho ka fakaako fakamagafaoa e Kolo Toko?
9 Tokologa e kaina ne fakaaoga e magahala he fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa ke tauteute ma e Fakaakoaga Kolo Toko he fakapotopotoaga. Kua lagomatai ha e mena ia! Kua toka he Ko e Kolo Toko e tau mena kai fakaagaga uho ne foaki mai ke feaki hake aki e tau tagata ha Iehova he lalolagi katoa. He magaaho ka fakaako fakamagafaoa e koe e Kolo Toko, kua nakai kuenaia ke totou e tau paratafa mo e tali e tau huhu ne tohia i loto. Kia fakamakamaka ke moua e maama. Kia fakaata taha magaaho ke kumi e tau kupu Tohi Tapu ne fakakite i loto. Uiina a lautolu he magafaoa ke tali ke fakatatai atu ke he mena ne tohi he paratafa ne fakaako ki ai. Kia putoia ki ai e loto.—Tau Fakatai 4:7, 23; Gahua 17:11.
10. Ko e heigoa kua lata ke taute ke fakalataha e fanau he fakaakoaga mo e ke eke ai mo magaaho fiafia ma lautolu?
10 Kaeke kua fai fanau he kaina hau, ko e heigoa kua lata ia koe ke taute ke nakai fakaholo noa e fakaakoaga he magafaoa ka e ke feaki hake, alaala, mo e magaaho fiafia? Kia lali ke putoia takitokotaha ke he mena kua lata ke mau e fiafia ke he manatu ne fakaako. Ka maeke, kia igatia e tama mo e hana Tohi Tapu mo e mekasini ke fakaako. Ke fifitaki ke he mafanatia ne fakakite e Iesu, liga fakanofo fakatata he matua e tama tote ki a ia mo e fakamalaga atu ke he tama. (Fakatatai Mareko 10:13-16.) Liga fekau he ulu magafaoa e tama tote ke fakamaama e fakatino i loto he vala tala ne fakaako ki ai. Liga kotofa tuai e tama tote ke totou taha kupu Tohi Tapu. Mo e kotofa ki a ia ne lahilahi hake ke talahau e magaaho ka lata ke fakagahuahua e manatu he fakaakoaga.
11. Ko e heigoa falu kanavaakau fakaako ne kua foaki mai, mo e moua i fe a lautolu nei, mo e maeke fefe a lautolu ke fakaaoga fakamitaki he hagaao atu ke he fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa?
11 Pete ni kua liga fakaaoga e koe e Kolo Toko mo fakaveaga ma e hau a tutalaaga, kia nakai nimo falu kanavaakau fakaako ne moua ke he tau vagahau loga. Kaeke kua manako ke fai fakailoaaga po ke fakamaamaaga foki he tau kupu he Tohi Tapu, liga to ha ha ai he Insight on the Scriptures. Liga moua falu tali ke he tau huhu he o atu ke he Watch Tower Publications Index po ke he fakaaoga e polokalama kumikumi he komopiuta ne mai he Sosaiete. Ke fakaako ke fakaaoga e tau kanavaakau nei, ka fai he vagahau hau, kua eke mo vala uho he fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa. Mo e foliaga ke fakalagalaga e fiafia he tau fuata ikiiki, liga lata foki ia koe ke toka taha magaaho he fakaakoaga ha mutolu ke kitekite e tama vala he taha vitio he Sosaiete po ke fanogonogo ke he taute tala fakatai he autokasete ti fakatutala ki ai. He fakaaoga mitaki e tau kanavaakau fakaako nei ka lagomatai e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa hau ke alaala mo e aoga ke he magafaoa katoa.
Mataala ke he Manako he Magafaoa Hau
12. Taute fefe he fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa ke fehagai mo e tau manako kua lata he magafaoa?
12 Liga kua fa fakaako he magafaoa hau e lesoni he Ko e Kolo Toko ma e fahitapu. Ka kia mataala a koe ke he tau tuaga kehekehe he magafaoa. Ane mai ke nakai gahua tupe e matua fifine, liga maeke ia ia ke lagomatai e mena nei he fakamole taha magaaho mo e fanau he tau aho oti ka liliu mai a lautolu he aoga. Maeke falu lekua ke taute he mogoia; falu kua liga lata ke fai magaaho. Ka ha ha ai e tau manako lahi he magafaoa, kia nakai fakaheu a lautolu. (Tau Fakatai 27:12) Liga putoia e mena nei nakai ke he tau lekua hokoia he aoga ka e ke he falu a mena foki. Kia fifili fakamitaki ai e tohi, mo e fakailoa fakamua ke he magafaoa e tohi ka fakaako ki ai.
13. Ko e ha kua liga aoga ai e tutalaaga fakamagafaoa ke fehagai mo e mativa?
13 Mo fakataiaga, ko e lahi e fahi he lalolagi kua ha ha ke he mativa; ti he tau matakavi loga, liga kua latatonu ke tutala hagaao ke he puhala ke fehagai ki ai. To eke kia e viko takai he fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa ke he tau tutuaga moli he moui mo e tau matapatu fakatufono he Tohi Tapu ke lagomatai hau a kaina?—Tau Fakatai 21:5; Fakamatalaaga 9:11; Heperu 13:5, 6, 18.
14. Ko e tau tutuaga fefe ka taute e tutalaaga fakamagafaoa ke he onoonoaga a Iehova ke he holifono, felakutaki, mo e tuuho faka-Kerisiano ke lata tonu he mogo nei?
14 Taha mena kua lata ke tala ki ai ko e holifono. Kua lata ia tautolu oti ke peehi mauokafua e onoonoaga a Iehova ke he tau manamanatu mo e tau loto ha tautolu. (Kenese 6:13; Salamo 11:5) Kua lata he fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa ke foaki taha magaaho ke tutala ke he puhala ke fakafehagai mo e tau tama matahavala he aoga, ke fakaako kia ke tau karate, mo e puhala ke fifili e fakafiafiaaga tino kua lata. Ko e tau totokoaga holifono kua fa mahani ki ai mogonei; kua teitei ke hufia e tau motu oti he felatauaki, tau taufetului fakapolitika mo e fakamatakau, po ke he tau felakutaki he tau kege. Ko e fua, liga lata he magafaoa hau ke tutala ke fakatumau e mahani Kerisiano pete kua agaagai he tau latauaga.—Isaia 2:2-4; Ioane 17:16.
15. Kua lata ke tala age fefe e fakaakoaga hagaao ke he mahani fakatane mo e fifine ke he fanau?
15 He lalahi hake e fanau, kua lata a lautolu ke fai fakaakoaga hagaao ke he mahani fakatane mo e fifine mo e ke he fakamauaga, ne kua lata mo e tau tau ha lautolu. He falu aga fakamotu, ne nakai tutala e laulahi he tau matua hagaao ke he mahani fakatane mo e fifine mo e fanau ha lautolu. Ko e fanau ne nakai kiki ke he vala ia ka liga moua e tau manatu keukeu mai he falu tama, ti matematekelea e mena ka tupu. Nakai kia kua mua atu e mitaki ke fifitaki a Iehova, ne foaki e hatakiaga hakotika ka e lilifu ke he valatala nei i loto he Tohi Tapu? To lagomatai he fakatonuaga mahani Atua e fanau ha tautolu ke taofi mau e lilifu fakatagata mo e fakalilifu atu foki ke he falu nakai tatai mo ia. (Tau Fakatai 5:18-20; Kolose 3:5; 1 Tesalonia 4:3-8) Pete ni kua fita he tutala a koe ke he tau valatala nei, kia nakai fakauaua ke liu taute pihia foki. Ka mafuta hake e tau tutuaga fou, kua lata ke liu fatiaki.
16. (a) He tau kaina kehekehe, magaaho fe ka taute e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa? (e) Fehagai fefe a koe mo e tau fakalavelaveaga ke maeke ke taute tumau e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa?
16 Ko e magaaho fe ka taute ai e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa? He fakatatai ke he tau magafaoa Peteli he lalolagi katoa, tokologa e kaina ne setulu e magaaho ha lautolu ke fakaako he afiafi Gofua. Ka kua kehe ma e falu. I Atenetina, ko e magafaoa 11, ne ha ha ai 9 e fanau, ne uuhu aala tumau he hola lima he tau pogipogi oti ke taute e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa ha lautolu. He kehekehe e tau setulu gahua, kua nakai fai magaaho foki. Nakai ko e mena mukamuka, ka kua peehi ai ke he tau manamanatuaga mo e tau loto he fanau e aoga he fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa. I Filipaina taha e motua ne fakatumau e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa mo e hana hoana mo e fanau tokotolu ha laua he lalahi fakahaga hake a lautolu. He tau aho he fahitapu ne taute fakaigatia he tau matua e fakaakoaga fakatagata mo e fanau, ke igatia a lautolu ke taute e kupu moli ma e tagata ni. He Tau Fahi Kaufakalataha, taha e matakainaga fifine ne nakai ko e Fakamoli e tane, ne fakatauo mo e fanau ke moua e pasi aoga he tau pogipogi takitaha. He fakatali ke he pasi, ne fakaaoga e lautolu hogofulu e minuti ke totou auloa mo e tutala ke he valatala fakaako he Tohi Tapu, oti ti liogi fakaku e matua fifine ato huhu atu e fanau ki loto he pasi. He Repapiliki Fakatemokarasi a Konogo, kua gahua lahi e fifine ne tiaki he tane nakai talitonu e magafaoa, ke fakaako ha kua temotemoai e fakaakoaga hana. Ko e tama tane lahi hana kua lagomatai he aahi e magafaoa he tau fahitapu takitaha ke takitaki e fakaakoaga mo e hana matua fifine mo e lafu tehina hana. Ne fakatoka he matua fifine e fakafifitakiaga mitaki ke nava ha ko e makutu hana he tauteute tuai. Ha ha ai kia falu tuaga ne kua uka ai e fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa ke fakatumau he kaina hau? Kia nakai mahala ki ai. Kia kumi fakamakutu e fakamonuina a Iehova ke moua e fakaakoaga Tohi Tapu tumau.—Mareko 11:23, 24.

17 Kua tonu ke fakatokatoka. Kua lata ke fakauka. Ka ko e tau fua ka hau he fakaakoaga fakamagafaoa tumau kua aoga lahi. (Tau Fakatai 22:6; 3 Ioane 4) Ko Franz mo Hilda, i Sihamani, ne feaki e magafaoa ne 11 e fanau. He tau tau ne mole, ne talahau he tama fifine ha laua ko Magdalena: “Ko e mena ne mua ki a au he mogonei kua nakai fai aho ne mole noa a mautolu mo e tau fakaakoaga fakaagaga.” He malikiti e agaga papale fakamotu i lalo ia Adolf Hitler, ne fakaaoga he matua tane ha Magdalena e Tohi Tapu ke mautali e magafaoa hana ma e tau kamatamata ne iloa e ia ka hohoko mai. Fai magaaho, ne uta kehe e fanau ikiiki ke he aoga akonaki; falu he magafaoa kua tuku he tau fale pouli mo e tau kemu pagota. Falu kua tamate.

Ka kua malipilipi e loto hana he magaaho ne oti e fakalatahaaga he tama tane hana mo e tau tagata ha Iehova. Ne olelalo a ia ki a Iehova ke fakamagalo a ia ma e tau hepehepe he fakaakoaga hana ke he tama. Ka kua nakai nimo moli he tama e tau mena ne ako e ia.
