Koteā Anai Tokotou Tuʼulaga ʼi Muʼa ʼo Te Telepinale ʼo Te ʼAtua?

“Ka haʼu anai te Foha ʼo te tagata ʼi tona kolōlia, pea mo te kau ʼaselo fuli mo ia, pea ʼe heka anai ki tona hekaʼaga faka hau faka kolōlia.”—Mateo 25:31.

1-3. He koʼe ʼe tou falala ʼe hoko anai te faitotonu?

‘LĀKAHALA PEʼE KAILOA?’ Tokolahi ʼe nātou feʼekeʼaki ʼi tanatou logo ki ʼihi fakamāu. E lagi feala ke fia agatonu te kau tuʼi fakamāu pea mo te hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe lagolago ki he fakamāu ʼi te telepinale, kae ʼe tou maʼu moʼoni koa te faitotonu? Kua koutou logo koa ki he ʼu fihifihia ʼe fakamāu ʼaki te heʼe faitotonu pea mo te fakapalatahi? ʼE mole ko he meʼa foʼou te taʼi heʼe faitotonu ʼaia, heʼe tou maʼu ʼi te lea fakatātā ʼa Sesu ia Luka 18:1-8 te talanoa ki te heʼe faitotonu ʼaia.

² Logope la he meʼa neʼe hoko kia koutou ʼo ʼuhiga mo te faitotonu ʼa te tagata, koutou fakatokagaʼi te palalau fakaʼosi ʼaenī ʼa Sesu: “ ʼE mole ʼapē fai anai koa ia e te ʼAtua te fakamāu ʼaē ʼe totonu ki tana hahaʼi ʼaē kua fili, ʼaē ʼe kalaga ake kia te ia ʼi te ʼaho mo te po . . . ? ʼE ʼau tala atu kia koutou: ʼE ina fai anai he fakamāu ʼe totonu kia nātou ʼi te moʼi temi pe ʼaia. Kaʼe, ka haʼu anai te Foha ʼo te tagata, ʼe ina maʼu moʼoni anai koa te tui ʼi te kele?”

³ ʼIo, ʼe tokaga anai ia Sehova ke maʼu e tana kau kaugana ia te faitotonu. ʼE toe kau aipe foki mo Sesu, tāfito ʼi te temi nei heʼe tou maʼuʼuli ʼi “te ʼu ʼaho fakamuli” ʼo te tuʼu agakovi ʼaenī. Kua vave pe, pea fakaʼaogaʼi anai e Sehova tona ʼAlo mālohi moʼo molehi katoa te agakovi ʼaē ʼi te kele. (2 Timoteo 3:1; 2 Tesalonika 1:7, 8; Fakahā 19:11-16) ʼE feala ke tou ʼiloʼi te gāue ʼa Sesu ʼi te lea fakatātā fakamuli ʼaē neʼe ina fai, ʼaē ʼe fakahigoaʼi māhani ko te lea fakatātā ʼo te ʼu ōvi pea mo te ʼu tao.

4. Neʼe koteā te mahino ʼaē neʼe tou maʼu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te temi ʼaē ʼe hoko ai te lea fakatātā ʼo te ʼu ōvi pea mo te ʼu tao, kae he koʼe ʼe tou toe vakaʼi anai te lea fakatātā ʼaia ʼi te temi nei? (Tāʼaga Lea 4:18)

⁴ Talu mai fualoa neʼe tou ʼui ko te lea fakatātā ʼaia ʼe talanoa ki te kua nofo Hau ʼa Sesu talu mai te 1914, pea talu mai ai ʼe ina fai te ʼu fakamāu—ko te hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe fakatatau ki te ʼu ōvi ʼe nātou maʼu te maʼuli heʼegata, pea ko te kau tao te mate heʼegata. Kae kapau ʼe tou toe vakaʼi te lea fakatātā ʼaia, ʼe tou maʼu anai he tahi fakamahino lelei ʼo ʼuhiga mo te temi ʼaē ʼe hoko ai pea mo tona faka ʼuhiga. Ko te toe akoʼi ʼo te lea fakatātā ʼaia ʼe ina fakamālohiʼi te maʼuhiga ʼo tatatou gāue faka mafola pea mo te faʼahiga tali ʼa te hahaʼi ki te faka mafola ʼaia. Ke tou maʼu he fakatafito ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fakamahino lelei ʼaia ʼo te lea fakatātā, tou vakaʼi te meʼa ʼaē ʼe fakahā e te Tohi-Tapu ʼo ʼuhiga mo Sehova pea mo Sesu, ʼi tonā ʼuhiga Hau pea mo Tuʼi Fakamāu.

Ko Sehova ʼi Tona ʼUhiga Tuʼi Fakamāu Māʼoluga

5, 6. He koʼe koa ʼe tonu te ʼui ʼaē ko Sehova ʼe Hau pea mo Tuʼi Fakamāu?

⁵ ʼE pule ia Sehova ki te ʼatulaulau, ʼo ina puleʼi te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe ina fakatupu. ʼI te mole ʼi ai hona kamataʼaga pea mo hona fakaʼosi, ʼe ko ia ko te “Hau ʼo te heʼegata.” (1 Timoteo 1:17; Pesalemo 90:2, 4; Fakahā 15:3) ʼE ina maʼu te mālohi moʼo fakatuʼu he ʼu lao pea mo fakahoko te ʼu lao ʼaia. Kae ko tana pule ʼe pipiki ki tona tuʼulaga Tuʼi Fakamāu. ʼE ʼui fēnei ia Isaia 33:22: “Ko Sehova ʼe ko totatou Tuʼi Fakamāu, ko Sehova ʼe ko ia totatou Tagata fai lao, ko Sehova ʼe ko totatou Hau; ko ia ʼe ina hāofaki anai tatou.”

⁶ Talu mai fualoa, kua mahino te ʼu kaugana ʼa te ʼAtua, ko Sehova ko te Tuʼi Fakamāu ʼo te ʼu fihifihia. Ohage la, ʼi te ʼosi fua e “te Tuʼi Fakamāu ʼo te kele katoa” te agakovi ʼaē ʼe hoko ʼi Sotoma mo Komola, neʼe ina fakatotonu ʼe tonu ke fakaʼauha te hahaʼi ʼo te ʼu kolo ʼaia pea mo fakahoko te fakamāu faitotonu ʼaia kia nātou. (Senesi 18:20-33; Sopo 34:10-12) ʼI meʼa fakaloto fīmālie hatatou ʼiloʼi ko Sehova ʼe ko he Tuʼi Fakamāu faitotonu ʼe feala ʼi te temi fuli ke ina fakahoko tana ʼu fakamāu!

7. ʼI tona ʼuhiga Tuʼi Fakamāu, neʼe koteā te gāue neʼe fai e Sehova ʼo ʼuhiga mo Iselaele?

⁷ ʼI te Iselaele ʼāfea, ʼi ʼihi temi neʼe ko Sehova totonu ʼaē neʼe ina fai te fakamāu. Kanapaula neʼe koutou maʼuʼuli ʼi te temi ʼaia, ʼe mole ko he meʼa fakafiafia koa la hakotou ʼiloʼi ʼe ko he Tuʼi Fakamāu haohaoa ʼaē neʼe ina fakatokatoka te ʼu fihifihia? (Levitike 24:10-16; Faka au 15:32-36; 27:1-11) Neʼe toe foaki e te ʼAtua “te ʼu fakatotonu faifakamāu,” ko he ʼu lekula neʼe lelei ki te fai fakamāu. (Levitike 25:18, 19; Nehemia 9:13; Pesalemo 19:9, 10; 119:7, 75, 164; 147:19, 20) Ko ia ko te “Tuʼi Fakamāu ʼo te kele katoa,” pea ʼe tou kau fuli ʼi te fakamāu ʼaia.—Hepeleo 12:23.

8. Koteā te meʼa maʼuhiga ʼaē neʼe hā kia Taniela?

⁸ ʼE tou maʼu te ʼu “hahaʼi neʼe sio mata” moʼo fakamoʼoni ki te faʼahi ʼaia. Neʼe hā te meʼa ki te polofeta ko Taniela, ko te ʼu manu fekai neʼe faka ʼuhigaʼi ki te ʼu puleʼaga peʼe ko te ʼu kautahi. (Taniela 7:1-8, 17) Neʼe ina toe ʼui fēnei: “Neʼe fakatuʼu ai te ʼu hekaʼaga hau pea neʼe heka ai te Matuʼa ʼo te ʼu ʼAho. Ko tona teu neʼe hihina ohage ko te nive.” (Taniela 7:9) Koutou fakatokagaʼi neʼe sio ia Taniela ki te ʼu hekaʼaga hau “pea neʼe heka ai te Matuʼa ʼo te ʼu ʼAho [ia Sehova].” ʼE feala ke koutou fai te fehuʼi ʼaenī, ‘Neʼe sio koa ʼi henī ia Taniela ki te fakanofo hau ʼo te ʼAtua?’

9. Koteā te faka ʼuhiga ʼo te ʼui ʼe ‘heka’ ʼi te hekaʼaga faka hau? Koutou fakahā he ʼu faʼifaʼitaki.

⁹ Koia, kapau ʼe tou lau ko he tahi “neʼe heka” ʼi te hekaʼaga faka hau, ʼe feala ke tou ʼui ʼe fakanofo hau, koteʼuhi ʼi ʼihi temi ʼe tautau fakaʼaogaʼi e te Tohi-Tapu te taʼi palalau ʼaia. Ohage la: “ ʼI te temi ʼaē neʼe nofo hau ai [ia Simili], ʼi tana heka ki tona hekaʼaga hau, neʼe . . .” (1 Hau 16:11; 2 Hau 10:30; 15:12; Selemia 33:17) Neʼe ʼui fēnei ʼi te lea faka polofeta ʼo ʼuhiga mo te Mesia: “ ʼE tonu ke heka pea mo pule ʼi tona hekaʼaga hau.” Koia, ʼe feala ke faka ʼuhiga te ʼui ʼaē ‘ ʼe heka ʼi he hekaʼaga hau’ ki he tahi ʼe fakanofo hau. (Sakalia 6:12, 13) ʼE ʼui ko Sehova ko te Hau ʼe heka ʼi te hekaʼaga hau. (1 Hau 22:19; Isaia 6:1; Fakahā 4:1-3) Ko te “Hau ʼo te heʼegata.” Kae, ʼi tana fakamoʼoni te agaaga foʼou ʼo tona pule faʼitaliha, neʼe feala ke ina ʼui ʼe liliu ia ko te Hau, ohage ʼe toe fakanofo ia ki tona hekaʼaga hau.—1 Fakamatala 16:1, 31; Isaia 52:7; Fakahā 11:15-17; 15:3; 19:1, 2, 6.

10. Neʼe koteā te ʼuluaki gāue ʼa te ʼu hau Iselaelite? Koutou fakamahino.

¹⁰ Kae ʼi henī ʼe ʼi ai te puani tāfito: ko te ʼuluaki gāue ʼo te ʼu hau ʼo te temi muʼa neʼe tonu ke nātou fagono ki te ʼu fihifihia pea hoki nātou fai he fakamāu. (Tāʼaga Lea 20:8; 29:14) Tou manatuʼi te fakamāu poto ʼa Salomone ʼi te temi ʼaē neʼe tagi ai te ʼu fafine e toko lua ki te tamasiʼi pe e tahi. (1 Hau 3:16-28; 2 Fakamatala 9:8) Neʼe ʼi ai te fale neʼe ina laga ʼi tona puleʼaga, neʼe ko “te Fakamalumaluʼaga ʼo te Hekaʼaga Faka Hau ʼaē neʼe ina fai ai te ʼu fakamāu,” pea neʼe toe higoaʼi “ko te fale fakamalumalu ʼo te fai fakamāu.” (1 Hau 7:7) Neʼe ʼui ko Selusalemi ʼe ko te potu ʼaē neʼe “tuʼu ai te ʼu hekaʼaga hau ʼo te fakamāu.” (Pesalemo 122:5) Kua mahino mai, ko te ‘heka ʼi te hekaʼaga faka hau’ ʼe toe feala ke faka ʼuhigaʼi ki te fakahoko ʼo he pule fai fakamāu.—Ekesote 18:13; Tāʼaga Lea 20:8.

11, 12. (a) He koʼe neʼe maʼuhiga te meʼa ʼaē neʼe ʼui ia Taniela kapite 7, ko Sehova ʼe heka? (b) ʼE fakamoʼoni feafeaʼi e te tahi ʼu vaega, ko Sehova ʼe heka moʼo fai fakamāu?

¹¹ Tou toe vakaʼi nei te meʼa ʼaē neʼe sio ia Taniela ‘ ʼe heka te Matuʼa ʼo te ʼu ʼAho.’ ʼE toe ʼui ia Taniela 7:10: “Neʼe fakatuʼu te Telepinale, pea neʼe avahi te ʼu tohi.” Ei, neʼe heka te Matuʼa ʼo te ʼu ʼAho moʼo fai he fakamāu ki te ʼu pule ʼo te malamanei pea mo vakaʼi peʼe tau mo te Foha ʼo te tagata ke ina maʼu te ʼuhiga pule. (Taniela 7:13, 14) Pea ʼe tou lau ko “te Matuʼa ʼo te ʼu ʼAho neʼe haʼu pea neʼe fai te fakamāu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te kau maʼoniʼoni,” ia nātou ʼaē neʼe fakafuafua ʼe feala ke nātou pule mo te Foha ʼo te tagata. (Taniela 7:22) Pea “neʼe fai te Telepinale” pea neʼe fai te fakatūʼa ki te mālohi fakamuli ʼo te malamanei.—Taniela 7:26.a

¹² Pea tahi ʼaē, ko te ʼui ʼaē neʼe sio ia Taniela ki te ʼAtua ‘ ʼe heka ʼi te hekaʼaga hau,’ e faka ʼuhiga ki Tana haʼu ʼo fakahoko te fakamāu. Ki muʼa atu, neʼe hiva fēnei ia Tavite: “Neʼe ke [ia Sehova] fakahoko toku fakamāu pea mo te meʼa ʼaē neʼe ʼau tagi kiai; neʼe ke heka ʼi te hekaʼaga hau, ʼo fakamāu ʼaki te faitotonu.” (Pesalemo 9:4, 7) Pea neʼe tohi fēnei e Soele: “Ke ʼaʼala te ʼu puleʼaga pea mo hake ki te telea mālalo ʼo Sosafate; heʼe ʼi te potu ʼaia, ʼe ʼau [Sehova] nofo ai anai moʼo fakamāuʼi te ʼatu puleʼaga katoa ʼi te ʼu tafaʼaki.” (Soele 3:12; vakaʼi ia Isaia 16:5) Ko Sesu pea mo Paulo neʼe fakamāuʼi nāua, pea ʼi te ʼu fakamāu ʼaia neʼe heka te tagata ʼo fagono ki te fihifihia pea mo fakahoko te fakamāu.b—Soane 19:12-16; Gāue 23:3; 25:6.

Te Tuʼulaga ʼo Sesu

13, 14. (a) Koteā te fakamoʼoni ʼe maʼu e te hahaʼi ʼa te ʼAtua ko Sesu ʼe kua nofo Hau? (b) Ko te temi fea ʼaē neʼe heka ai Sesu ki tona hekaʼaga faka hau, pea ʼe faka ʼuhiga feafeaʼi te ʼui ʼaē neʼe pule talu mai te taʼu 33 ʼo totatou temi?

¹³ Ko Sehova ʼe Hau pea mo Tuʼi Fakamāu. Kae e feafeaʼi kia Sesu? Ko te ʼaselo ʼaē neʼe ina fakahā tana tupu, neʼe ina ʼui fēnei: “ ʼE foaki anai e Sehova ʼAtua kia te ia te hekaʼaga faka hau ʼo Tavite tana tāmai, . . . pea ko tona puleʼaga, ʼe mole ʼi ai anai hona gataʼaga.” (Luka 1:32, 33) Ko Sesu neʼe tofiʼa ke ina maʼu ʼo talu ai te tuʼulaga hau ʼo Tavite. (2 Samuele 7:12-16) ʼE pule anai ʼi te lagi, he neʼe ʼui fēnei e Tavite: “Ko te tala ʼaenī ʼa Sehova ki toku ʼAliki: ‘Heka ʼi toku toʼomataʼu ʼo kaku ki taku tuku tou ʼu fili ke hage ko he tuʼuʼaga ki ʼou vaʼe.’ Ko te tokotoko ʼo tou mālohi, ʼe fekauʼi anai e Sehova mai Sione, ʼo ʼui maʼana: ‘ ʼAlu ʼo pule ʼi te lotolotoiga ʼo tou ʼu fili.’ ”—Pesalemo 110:1-4.

¹⁴ Ko ʼafea anai ʼaē ka hoko ai te meʼa ʼaia? ʼI tana ʼi te kele, neʼe mole Hau ia Sesu. (Soane 18:33-37) ʼI te taʼu 33 ʼo totatou temi, neʼe mate, neʼe fakatuʼuake, pea neʼe hake ki te lagi. ʼE ʼui fēnei ia Hepeleo 10:12: “Ko te tagata ʼaia neʼe ina momoli ʼo talu ai te sakilifisio e tahi ki te ʼu agahala pea kua heka ʼi te toʼomataʼu ʼo te ʼAtua.” Koteā te tuʼulaga ʼaē neʼe maʼu e Sesu? “Neʼe fakaheka ia ia e te [ʼAtua] ʼi tona toʼomataʼu ʼi te ʼu potu ʼo te lagi, ʼi ʼoluga ʼo te ʼu puleʼaga fuli, ʼo te pule fuli, ʼo te mālohi fuli, ʼo te ʼaliki fuli . . . pea neʼe ina fakanofo ke pule kia meʼa fuli ʼi te kokelekasio.” (Efesi 1:20-22) Mai tona ʼaluʼaga ʼaē ko Sesu kua pule faka hau ki te kau Kilisitiano, koia neʼe tohi ai e Paulo ko Sehova “neʼe ina faka ʼāteaina tatou mai te pule ʼa te fakapōʼuli pea mo ina hiki ia tatou ki te puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAlo ʼo tona ʼofa.”—Kolose 1:13; 3:1.

15, 16. (a) He koʼe ʼe tou ʼui ko Sesu neʼe mole nofo Hau ʼi te Puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua ʼi te taʼu 33 ʼo totatou temi? (b) Ko te temi fea ʼaē neʼe kamata hau ai Sesu ʼi te Puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua?

¹⁵ Kae ʼi te temi ʼaia, neʼe mole fai e Sesu tona ʼuhiga Hau pea mo Tuʼi Fakamāu ki te ʼu puleʼaga. Neʼe heka ia tafa ʼo te ʼAtua, ʼo fakatalitali ki te temi ʼaē ka gāue ai ʼi tona ʼuhiga Hau ʼo te Puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua. ʼO ʼuhiga mo ia neʼe tohi fēnei e Paulo: “Pea ko ai te tokotahi ʼi te kau ʼaselo ʼaē neʼe ʼui ki ai e te ʼAtua: ‘Heka ʼi toku toʼomataʼu ʼo kaku ki taku tuku ʼo tou ʼu fili ko he meʼa moʼo hilihili kiai ʼou vaʼe’?”—Hepeleo 1:13.

¹⁶ Neʼe lahi te ʼu tohi neʼe tā e te kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova neʼe ko te taʼu 1914 ʼaē neʼe fakaʼosi ai te fakatalitali ʼa Sesu, ʼi tana liliu ʼaē ko te pule ʼo te Puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua ʼi te lagi. ʼE ʼui fēnei ia Fakahā 11:15, 18: “Ko te puleʼaga ʼo te malamanei kua liliu ia ko te puleʼaga ʼo totatou ʼAliki pea mo tana Kilisito, pea ʼe hau anai ia ʼo heʼegata.” “Kae neʼe ʼiʼita te ʼu puleʼaga, pea neʼe hoko mai tau hāūhāū totonu.” Ei, neʼe fefihiʼaki te ʼu puleʼaga ʼi te ʼUluaki Tau Faka Malamanei. (Luka 21:24) Ko te ʼu tau, te ʼu mafuike, te ʼu mahaki, te ʼu hoge, pea mo te tahi age ʼu meʼa neʼe tou sio kiai talu mai te taʼu 1914, ʼe ko he ʼu fakamoʼoni ʼaia ko Sesu kua pule nei ʼi te Puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua, pea kua fakaōvi mai te fakaʼosi ʼo te malamanei.—Mateo 24:3-14.

17. ʼO aʼu mai ki te temi ʼaenī, neʼe koteā te ʼu puani tāfito ʼaē kua tou mahino kiai?

¹⁷ Tou fai he fakamanatu fakanounou: ʼe feala ke tou ʼui ko te ʼAtua ʼe heka ʼi te hekaʼaga hau ʼi tona ʼuhiga Hau, kae ʼi hona tahi faka ʼuhiga ʼe feala pe ke heka ʼi tona hekaʼaga hau moʼo fakamāu. ʼI te taʼu 33 ʼo totatou temi, neʼe heka Sesu ʼi te toʼomataʼu ʼo te ʼAtua, pea ʼi te temi ʼaenī ko ia ko te Hau ʼo te Puleʼaga. Kae ʼi te temi nei ʼaē kua nofo Hau ai Sesu, ʼe ina toe maʼu koa mo te tuʼulaga ʼaē ko te Tuʼi Fakamāu? Pea he koʼe ʼe tonu anai ke tou tokagaʼi te faʼahi ʼaia, tāfito ʼi te temi nei?

18. Koteā te fakamoʼoni ʼe tou maʼu ko Sesu ʼe ina toe maʼu mo ia te tuʼulaga ʼaē ko te Tuʼi Fakamāu?

¹⁸ Ko Sehova, ʼaē ʼe ina fakanofo te ʼu tuʼi fakamāu, neʼe ina fili ia Sesu ko te Tuʼi Fakamāu moʼo fakahoko Tana ʼu lekula. Neʼe fakahā e Sesu te faʼahi ʼaia ʼi tana talanoa ʼaē ki te hahaʼi kua nātou maʼuli ʼi te faʼahi fakalaumālie: “ ʼE mole he tahi ʼe fakamāuʼi e te Tāmai, kae neʼe ina foaki ki te ʼAlo te fakamāu katoa.” (Soane 5:22) Kae, ko te tuʼulaga tuʼi fakamāu ʼa Sesu ʼe fakalaka age ia ʼi te taʼi fai fakamāu ʼaia, heʼe ina fakamāu te hahaʼi maʼuʼuli pea mo te kau mate. (Gāue 10:42; 2 Timoteo 4:1) ʼI te tahi lakaga neʼe ʼui fēnei e Paulo: “Ko te [ʼAtua] neʼe ina fakakatofa he ʼaho ʼe tonu ke ina fakamāuʼi ai te kele katoa ʼi te faitotonu, ʼaki he tagata neʼe kua ina fakanofo, ʼo ina tuku te fakamoʼoni ki te hahaʼi fuape ʼaki tona fakatuʼuake.”—Gāue 17:31; Pesalemo 72:2-7.

19. He koʼe ʼe tonu te ʼui ʼaē ko Sesu ʼe heka ʼi tona ʼuhiga Tuʼi Fakamāu?

¹⁹ Kae kua feala koa ke tou ʼui ko Sesu kua heka ʼi tona hekaʼaga faka hau faka kolōlia ʼi tona tuʼulaga ʼaē ko te Tuʼi Fakamāu? Ei. Neʼe ʼui fēnei e Sesu ki te kau ʼapositolo: “ ʼI te fakafoʼou ʼo te meʼa fuli, mokā heka anai te Foha ʼo te tagata ki tona hekaʼaga faka hau faka kolōlia, ko koutou ʼaē neʼe mulimuli ia te ʼau, ʼe koutou toe heheka anai mo koutou ki ni hekaʼaga faka hau e hogofulu-ma-lua ʼo fakamāuʼi te ʼu telepi e hogofulu-ma-lua ʼo Iselaele.” (Mateo 19:28) Logope la ʼi te temi nei ko Sesu kua Hau ʼi te Puleʼaga, ko tana tahi gāue ʼe tuʼu ia Mateo 19:28, ʼe heka anai ia ʼi te hekaʼaga faka hau moʼo fai fakamāu ʼi te ʼu taʼu e afe. ʼI te temi ʼaia ʼe ina fakamāuʼi anai te malamanei katoa, te kau faitotonu pea mo te kau heʼe faitotonu. (Gāue 24:15) ʼE maʼuhiga ke tou taupau maʼu te manatu ʼaia mokā ʼe tou fakatokagaʼi te tahi lea fakatātā ʼa Sesu ʼe talanoa ʼo ʼuhiga mo totatou temi pea mo totatou maʼuli.

20, 21. Koteā te fehuʼi ʼaē neʼe fai e te kau ʼapositolo ʼa Sesu ʼe pipiki ki totatou temi, pea koteā te fehuʼi ʼaē ʼe malaga ai?

²⁰ ʼI muʼa ʼo te mate ʼo Sesu, neʼe fehuʼi age e tana kau ʼapositolo: “Ko ʼafea ʼaē ka hoko ai anai te ʼu meʼa ʼaia, pea koteā anai te fakaʼiloga ʼo tau ʼi henī pea mo te fakaʼosi ʼo te tuʼu ʼo te ʼu faʼahiga meʼa ʼaenī?” (Mateo 24:3) Neʼe fakakikite e Sesu te ʼu fetogi maʼuhiga ka hoko ʼi te kele ʼi muʼa ʼo ‘te hoko mai ʼo te fakaʼosi.’ ʼI muʼa ʼo te fakaʼosi ʼaia, ko te ʼu puleʼaga ʼe nātou “sisio anai ki te Foha ʼo te tagata ʼe haʼu ʼi te ʼu ʼao ʼo te lagi mo te mālohi pea mo te kolōlia lahi.”—Mateo 24:14, 29, 30.

²¹ Kae ʼe feafeaʼi anai te aga ʼa te hahaʼi ʼo te ʼu puleʼaga ʼaia ʼi te temi ʼaē ka tau mai ai te Foha ʼo te tagata ʼi tona kolōlia?

Pea ʼi ʼona muʼa ʼe tānaki anai te ʼatu puleʼaga katoa.”—Mateo 25:31, 32.
