Ko e Hā ha Tāimuʻa?

Ko e foʻi lea “tāimuʻa” ʻoku faʻa ʻuhinga ia ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau kumi ha ngaahi feituʻu ngāue foʻou pea fakafaingamālieʻi ha hala ke fou atu ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Ko Sīsuú naʻá ne hangē ko ha tāimuʻá, ʻi hono fekau hifo ki he māmaní ke ne fakahoko ha ngāue fakafaifekau foaki-moʻui pea ke ʻoange ha faingamālie ki he tangatá ke nau maʻu ai ʻa e fakamoʻuí. (Mātiu 20:28) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku faʻifaʻitaki ʻa hono kau muimuí kiate ia ʻaki hono fakamoleki ʻa e taimi lahi taha ʻe ala lavá ke ‘ngaohi ākonga’ ai. (Mātiu 28:19, 20) Kuo malava ʻa e niʻihi ke nau kau ʻi he meʻa ʻoku mau ui ko e ngāue tāimuʻa.

Ko ha tāimuʻa ko ha ʻevangeliō taimi-kakato ia. Ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova kotoa pē ko e kau malanga kinautolu ʻo e ongoongo leleí. Kae kehe, kuo fokotuʻutuʻu maau ʻe he niʻihi ʻenau moʻuí ke ngāue ko e kau tāimuʻa tuʻumaʻu, ʻo fakamoleki ʻa e houa ʻe 70 ʻi he māhina taki taha ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá. Ke fai ení, kuo fakasiʻisiʻi ai ʻe he tokolahi ʻenau ngāue fakamāmaní ke nau ngāue konga-taimi pē. ʻOku fili ʻa e niʻihi ke ngāue ko e kau tāimuʻa makehe ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu ʻoku lahi ange ai ʻa e fiemaʻu ʻo e kau fanongonongo ʻo e Puleʻangá, ʻo līʻoa ʻa e houa ʻe 130 pe lahi ange ai ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻi he māhina taki taha. ʻOku fiemālie ʻa e kau tāimuʻá ke moʻui ʻi ha founga moʻui faingofua, ʻo falala-pau ʻe tokonaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fiemaʻu pau ki he moʻuí. (Mātiu 6:31-33; 1 Tīmote 6:6-8) Ko e faʻahinga heʻikai lava ke nau tāimuʻa taimi-kakató te nau ngāue nai ko e kau tāimuʻa tokoni ʻo fakatatau ki heʻenau malavá, ʻi hono fakalahi ʻenau ngāue fakamalangá ki he houa ʻe 30 pe 50 ʻi ha māhina.

ʻOku ueʻi ha tāimuʻa ʻe he ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá pea ki he kakaí. Hangē ko Sīsuú, ʻoku mau fakatokangaʻi ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e fiemaʻu vivili fakalaumālie ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e tokolahi he ʻaho ní. (Maʻake 6:34) Ka ʻoku mau maʻu ʻa e ʻilo ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kinautolu he taimí ni pē, ʻo ʻoange ai kiate kinautolu ha ʻamanaki falalaʻanga ki he kahaʻú. Ko e ʻofa ki he kaungāʻapí ʻoku ueʻi ai ha tāimuʻa ke foaki nima-homo hono taimí mo e iví ke tokoniʻi fakalaumālie ʻa e niʻihi kehé. (Mātiu 22:39; 1 Tesalonaika 2:8) Ko hono olá, ʻoku ʻai ai ke mālohi ʻa ʻene tuí, ʻokú ne ʻunuʻunu ofi ange ai ki he ʻOtuá, pea ʻokú ne hokosia ai ʻa e fiefia lahi.​—Ngāue 20:35.
