Lekooti e Ngaahi Ongo ʻOkú ke Maʻú

ʻI he ngaahi tohi ko ia naʻe tohi ʻe Paula kia Tīmote, Taitusi mo Filimoné, ʻoku tau maʻu ai ha kihiʻi mahino ki he fakakaukau mo e ongo ʻa ha tamaioʻeiki ʻa e ʻEikí. ʻOku ʻikai hangē ʻeni ko e ngaahi tohi kehe ʻa Paulá ke fakataumuʻa ki ha haʻofanga kakai, ka naʻe tohi ʻeni ia ki ha niʻihi fakafoʻituitui—ko e ngaahi kaungāmeʻa mamae mo e kaungāngāue ʻo Paula ʻi he ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá—pea ko hono lau iá ʻoku hangē haʻate fakafanongo ki ha fepōtalanoaʻakí. ʻOku tau vakai ki hono poupouʻi ʻe Paula ʻa Tīmote mo Taitusi ʻi hona fatongia ʻi he Siasí, ko ha ongo takimuʻa ki ha kāingalotu. ʻOku tau vakai ki heʻene kole fakamātoato ki hono kaungāmeʻa ko Filimoné ke fakalelei mo ha taha ʻi he Kāingalotú pea lau ia ko hano tokoua ʻi he ongoongoleleí.

Ngaahi Fakakaukau ki Hono Ako Fakataautaha ʻo e Folofolá

Ko hai ʻa Tīmote mo Taitusi?

Naʻe ngāue fakafaifekau fakataha ʻa Tīmote mo Taitusi mo Paula ʻi ha niʻihi ʻo ʻene ngaahi fononga fakafaifekaú. Lolotonga ʻenau ngāué, ne fakaʻapaʻapa mo falala ʻa Paula kiate kinaua. Ne uiuiʻi ʻa Tīmote kimui ke ne hoko ko ha taki ʻo e Siasí ʻi ʻEfesō, pea uiuiʻi ʻa Taitusi ke ne hoko ko ha taki ʻo e Siasí ʻi Keliti. ʻI he ngaahi tohi ko ʻení, naʻe ʻoange ai ʻe Paula kia Tīmote mo Taitusi ha fakahinohino mo ha fakalotolahi fekauʻaki mo hona ngaahi fatongiá, ʻa ia naʻe kau ai ʻa hono malangaʻi ʻo e ongoongoleleí mo hono ui ʻo e kau tangata ke nau hoko ko ha kau pīsopé.

Vakai foki e Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá,“Tīmoté, Ongo Tohi kia,” “Taitusí, Tohi kia.”

“ʻOua naʻa manukiʻi hoʻo kei siʻí ʻe ha taha; ka ke ʻi he kakai tuí ko e fakaʻilonga” (1 Tīmote 4:12).

1 Tīmote 4:10–16

“Ka ke ʻi he kakai tuí ko e fakaʻilonga.”

Naʻe kei siʻi ʻa Tīmote, ka naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Paula ʻe lava ke ne hoko ko ha taki māʻongoʻonga ʻo e Siasí neongo ʻene kei taʻu siʻí. Ko e hā ha faleʻi naʻe fai ʻe Paula kia Tīmote ʻi he 1 Tīmote 4:10–16? ʻE tokoni fēfē ʻa e faleʻi ko ʻení ke ke tataki ai e niʻihi kehé ki he Fakamoʻuí mo ʻEne ongoongoleleí?

Vakai foki ʻAlamā 17:11.

“He naʻe ʻikai foaki ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate kitautolu ʻa e laumālie ʻo e manavasiʻí; ka ko e mālohi, mo e ʻofa, mo e loto fakapotopoto.”

ʻOku pehē ko e 2 Tīmoté ko e tohi fakaʻosi ia naʻe tohi ʻe Paulá, pea ʻoku hangē naʻá ne ʻosi ʻiloʻi naʻe vave pē taimi ke ne mate aí (vakai 2 Tīmote 4:6–8). Naʻe mei ongoʻi fēfē nai ʻa Tīmote, ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi ʻe vavé ni pē ha ʻikai ke ne toe feʻao mo hono faifakahinohinó mo e taki falalaʻangá? Ko e hā naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Paula ke fakalotolahiʻi iá? Te ke lava foki ʻo lau mo fakakaukau ki hoʻo ngaahi faingataʻá mo e ilifiá. Ko e hā ha ngaahi pōpoaki ʻo e ʻamanaki leleí mo e fakalotolahí ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he ʻEikí maʻau ʻi he 2 Tīmote?

2 Tīmote 3

ʻOku hoko hono moʻui ʻaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí ke malu ai mei he ngaahi fakatamaki fakalaumālie ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí.

ʻOku tau moʻui ʻi he “ngaahi ʻaho fakamui” naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Paulá, pea kuo hoko mai ʻa e “kuonga fakatuʻutāmakí” (2 Tīmote 3:1). ʻI hoʻo lau ʻa e 2 Tīmote 3, hiki ʻa e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho fakamuí ʻa ia ʻoku fakamatala ki aí (vakai foki 1 Tīmote 4:1–3):

Te ke lava nai ʻo fakakaukau ki ha ngaahi sīpinga ʻo e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ko ʻení ʻi he māmaní—pe ʻi hoʻo moʻuí? ʻOku founga fēfē ʻa e “ngaolo ki [ho] falé” ʻa e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ko ʻení “ʻo taki pōpula [koe]”, ʻo hangē ko e kakai ne fakamatalaʻi ʻi he veesi 6? Ko e hā ha faleʻi ʻokú ke maʻu ʻi he 2 Tīmote 3, mo ha feituʻu kehe ʻi he ngaahi tohi ko ʻení, te ne lava ʻo maluʻi koe mo homou fāmilí mei he ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki fakalaumālie ko ʻení? (hangē ko ʻení, vakai, 1 Tīmote 1:3–11; 2 Tīmote 2:15–16; Taitusi 2:1–8).

Ko Filimoné ko ha Kalisitiane ia naʻe fakaului ʻe Paula ki he ongoongoleleí. Naʻe ʻi ai ha pōpula ʻa Filimone ko ʻOnesimosi, ʻa ia naʻe hola ki Loma.

Filimone

ʻOku fetauhiʻaki ʻa e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ʻo hangē ha tuongaʻane mo e tuofefiné.

ʻI hoʻo lau e tohi ʻa Paula kia Filimoné, fakalaulauloto ki he founga te ke fakaʻaongaʻi ai ʻene faleʻí ki ho vā fetuʻutaki mo e niʻihi kehé. ʻOku ʻoatu ʻi lalo ha ngaahi fehuʻi te ke lava ʻo fakakaukau ki ai:

Te mou lava ʻo hivaʻi fakataha ha foʻi hiva fekauʻaki mo e fai leleí, hangē ko e “Kuó u Fai ha Lelei?” (Ngaahi Himí, fika 129).

Kuo ueʻi fakalaumālie fēfē kitautolu ʻe he kakai ko ʻení ke tau muimui ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi? ʻE lava e pōpoaki ʻa Palesiteni Tōmasi S.

2 Tīmote 3:14–17Fakatatau ki he ngaahi veesi ko ʻení, ko e hā e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku maʻu ʻe kinautolu ʻoku ʻiloʻi mo ako ʻa e folofolá? ʻE lava ke vahevahe ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí ʻa e potufolofola ʻoku nau pehē ʻoku “ʻaonga” kiate kinautolú.
