ʻOku Tapua Atu ʻe he Kau Kalisitiané ʻa e Lāngilangi ʻo Sihová
“Ko hoʻómoutolu mata ʻoku monuʻia, he ʻoku nau mamata, mo homou telinga, he ʻoku nau fanongo.”—MĀTIU 13:16.
1. Ko e hā ʻa e fehuʻi ʻoku haʻu ki he fakakaukaú ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e tali ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí kia Mōsese ʻi Moʻunga Sainaí?
KO E kau ʻIsileli ko ia naʻe fakatahataha ki Moʻunga Sainaí naʻa nau maʻu ʻa e ʻuhinga moʻoni ke ʻunuʻunu ofi ai kia Sihova. He ko hono moʻoní, naʻá ne fakahaofi kinautolu mei ʻIsipite ʻaki ha nima mālohi. Naʻá ne tokangaʻi ʻenau ngaahi fiemaʻú, ʻo tokonaki mai ʻa e meʻakai mo e vai ʻi he toafá. Ko hono hokó, naʻá ne tuku ke nau ikuna ʻi hono ʻohofi kinautolu ʻe ha kau tau ʻAmaleki. (Ekisoto 14:26-31; 16:2–17:13) ʻI heʻenau ʻapitanga ʻi he toafá ʻi muʻa ʻi Moʻunga Sainaí, naʻe manavahē ʻaupito ʻa e kakaí ʻi he ngaahi maná mo e ʻuhilá ʻo nau tetetete ai. Ki mui ai, naʻa nau sio ki he ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei Moʻunga Sainaí, ʻi he tapua mai mei hono matá ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo Sihová. Kae kehe, ʻi he ʻikai ke nau fai ha tali ʻi he ofoofo mo e mahinó, naʻa nau holomui. “Naʻa nau manavahe ke ʻunuʻunu [kia Mōsese].” (Ekisoto 19:10-19; 34:30) Ko e hā naʻa nau manavahē ai ke mātā ha tapua mai ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo Sihová, ʻa e tokotaha naʻá ne fai ʻa e meʻa lahi fau maʻanautolú?
2. Ko e hā naʻe manavahē nai ai ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he sio ki he lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá naʻe tapua atu ʻe Mōsesé?
2 Ngalingali, ko e ʻuhinga lahi ʻo e manavahē ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he taimi ko ʻení naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo e meʻa naʻe hoko ki muʻa ange. ʻI he taimi naʻa nau talangataʻa ʻosi fakakaukauʻi ai kia Sihova ʻaki hono ngaohi ha kiʻi pulu koulá, naʻá ne akonakiʻi kinautolu. (Ekisoto 32:4, 35) Naʻa nau ako mei he akonaki ʻa Sihová pea houngaʻia ai? ʻIkai, ko e tokolahi tahá naʻe ʻikai. ʻI he ofi ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ʻene moʻuí, naʻe manatuʻi ʻe Mōsese ʻa e meʻa naʻe hoko fekauʻaki mo e kiʻi pulu koulá fakataha mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga kehe ʻo e talangataʻa ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí. Naʻá ne pehē ki he kakaí: “Naʻa mou angatuʻu ki he folofola tonu ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou tui kiate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai te mou fakaongo ki hono leʻo. Ko e koto angatuʻu hoʻomou fakafeangai kia Sihova talu e ʻaho naʻa ku fua ʻilo ai kimoutolu.”—Teutalonome 9:15-24.
3. Ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese ʻi heʻene ʻai ʻa e pūlou ki hono matá?
3 Fakakaukau atu ki he anga ʻo e tali ʻa Mōsese ki he manavahē naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí. ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakamatalá: “Bea nae ai e Mosese ae bulou ki hono mata, kae oua ke hili ene talanoa mo kinautolu. Ka i he alu a Mosese ki he [tāpanekalé] ao o Jihova ke lea kiate ia, naa ne too ae bulou, kae oua ke hu kitua. Bea nae haʻu kitua ia, o ne tala ki he fānau a Isileli, aia nae fekau kia [te] ia ke fai. Bea nae mamata e he fānau a Isileli ki he mata o Mosese, oku ulo ae kili oe mata o Mosese: bea nae toe ai e Mosese ae bulou ki hono mata, kae oua ke toe hu ia ke alea mo [Sihova].” (Ekisoto 34:33-35, PM) Ko e hā naʻe ʻai ai ʻe Mōsese ʻa e pūlou ki hono matá ʻi ha ngaahi taimí? Ko e hā ʻoku malava ke tau ako mei he meʻá ni? Ko e tali ki he ongo fehuʻí ni ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau fakamahuʻingaʻi hotau vahaʻangatae tonu mo Sihová.
Mole ʻa e Ngaahi Faingamālié
4. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻo fekauʻaki mo hono tui ʻe Mōsese ʻa e pūloú?
4 Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ko hono tui ʻe Mōsese ʻa e pūloú naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo e ʻatamai pea mo e tuʻunga ʻo e loto ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí tonu. Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Naʻe ʻikai lava ʻe haʻa Isileli ke sio fakamamaʻu ki he fofonga ʻo Mosese, koeʻuhi ko e langilangi ʻo hono fōtunga . . . naʻe hoko ʻo kanongataʻa honau ʻatamai.” (2 Kolinito 3:7, 14) Ko ha tuʻunga fakamamahi moʻoni ē! Ko e kau ʻIsilelí ko e kakai fili kinautolu ʻa Sihova, pea naʻá ne fiemaʻu ke nau ʻunuʻunu ofi ange kiate ia. (Ekisoto 19:4-6) Neongo ia, naʻa nau toumoua kinautolu ke sio fakamamaʻu ki he tapua mai ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI he ʻikai ke fakahanga honau lotó mo e ʻatamaí kia Sihova ʻi he līʻoa anga-ʻofá, naʻe hā mei heʻenau tōʻongá naʻa nau hanga kehe meiate ia.
5, 6. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e faitatau ʻo e ʻuluaki senitulí mo e kau ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Mōsesé? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e faikehekehe naʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e faʻahinga ko ia naʻe fanongo kia Sīsuú mo e faʻahinga naʻe ʻikaí?
5 ʻI he meʻá ni, ʻoku tau maʻu hano faitatau ʻi he ʻuluaki senituli T.S. ʻI he aʻu mai ki he taimi ʻo e tafoki ʻa Paula ki he lotu faka-Kalisitiané, naʻe ʻosi fetongi ʻa e fuakava Laó ia ʻe he fuakava foʻoú, ʻa ia naʻe fakalaloa ai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ko e Mōsese Lahi Angé. ʻI he leá mo e ngāué fakatouʻosi, naʻe tapua haohaoa atu ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo Sihová. Naʻe tohi ʻa Paula ʻo fekauʻaki mo Sīsū kuo toetuʻú: “Ko e Toko Taha ʻa ia ko e ulo atu ʻo Hono langilangi [ʻo e ʻOtuá], mo e imisi ʻo ʻEne ʻAfio moʻoni.” (Hepelu 1:3) Ko ha faingamālie fisifisimuʻa moʻoni ē naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau Siú! Naʻe malava ke nau fanongo ki he ngaahi lea ʻo e moʻui taʻengatá mei he ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá tonu! Ko hono pangó, ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e faʻahinga ko ia naʻe malanga ki ai ʻa Sīsuú naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo kinautolú, naʻe leaʻaki ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kikite ʻa Sihova fakafou ʻia ʻAiseá: “Kuo fangapesi ʻa e loto ʻo e kakai ni, pea ongongataʻa honau telinga, pea ko honau mata kuo nau tapuni; naʻa ʻiloange te nau sio ʻaki honau mata, pea fanongo ʻaki honau telinga, pea ʻilo ʻaki honau loto, ʻo nau tafoki, kau fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.”—Mātiu 13:15; Aisea 6:9, 10.
6 Naʻe ʻi ai ha kehekehe lahi ʻaupito ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e kau Siú mo e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú, ʻa ē naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū fekauʻaki mo kinautolú: “Ko hoʻómoutolu mata ʻoku monuʻia, he ʻoku nau mamata, mo homou telinga, he ʻoku nau fanongo.” (Mātiu 13:16) ʻOku fakaʻamu ʻa e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní ke nau ʻilo mo tauhi kia Sihova. ʻOku nau fiefia ke fakahoko hono finangaló, hangē ko ia ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻi he ngaahi peesi ʻo e Tohi Tapú. Ko hono olá, ʻoku tapua atu ʻe he kau Kalisitiane paní ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo Sihová ʻi heʻenau ngāue fakafaifekau ʻo e fuakava foʻoú, pea ko e faʻahinga ʻo e fanga sipi kehé ʻoku nau fai ʻa e meʻa meimei tatau.—2 Kolinito 3:6, 18.
ʻUhinga ʻOku Fakapūlouʻi Ai ʻa e Ongoongo Leleí
7. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻohovale ai ʻa hono fakataleʻi ʻe he tokolahi taha ʻa e ongoongo leleí?
7 Hangē ko ia kuo tau lāuʻilo ki aí, fakatouʻosi ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Sīsuú pea ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Mōsesé, naʻe fakataleʻi ai ʻe he tokolahi taha ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí ʻa e faingamālie makehe naʻe fakaʻatā kiate kinautolú. ʻOku meimei tatau pē ʻi hotau taimí. ʻOku fakataleʻi ʻe he tokolahi taha ia ʻo e kakaí ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻoku tau malangaʻí. ʻOku ʻikai ke fakaʻohovale ʻeni kiate kitautolu. Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Bea kabau kuo fakabulou e mau ogoogolelei, kuo fakabulou ia kiate kinautolu oku malaia: Akinautolu kuo fakakui ho nau loto taetui e he otua o mamani, telia naa ulo mai kiate kinautolu ae māma oe ogoogolelei fakamonuia o Kalaisi, aia ko hono tatau oe Otua.” (2 Kolinito 4:3, 4, PM) Tānaki atu ki he ngaahi feinga ʻa Sētane ke fūfuuʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí, ʻoku fakapūlouʻi ʻe he kakai tokolahi honau mata pē ʻo kinautolú koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie sio.
8. ʻI he founga fē ʻoku fakakuihi ai ʻa e tokolahi ʻe he taʻeʻiló, pea ʻe malava fēfē ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he hoko ʻo uesia meimei tataú?
8 Ko e ngaahi mata fakaefakatātā ʻo e tokolahi ʻoku fakakuihi ʻe he taʻeʻiló. ʻOku lāulea ʻa e Tohi Tapú fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi puleʻangá ʻoku ʻi he tuʻunga “kuo fakapoʻuli honau ʻatamai, kuo nau motu mei he moʻui ʻa e ʻOtua, ko e meʻa ʻi he vale [pe taʻeʻilo] ʻoku nofoʻia kinautolu.” (Efeso 4:18) Ki muʻa ke ne hoko ko ha Kalisitiané, ko Paulá, ko ha tangata naʻe mataotao ʻi he Laó, naʻe mātuʻaki fakakuihi ia ʻe he taʻeʻiló ʻo ne fakatangaʻi ai ʻa e fakatahaʻanga ʻa e ʻOtuá. (1 Kolinito 15:9) Neongo ia, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e moʻoní kiate ia. ʻOku fakamatala ʻa Paula: “Naʻe fai meesi kiate au koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, koeʻuhi ke fakaha ʻe Kalaisi Sisu ʻiate au ko e fungani angahala hono katokātoa o ʻene kataki, moʻo taipe maʻanautolu te nau tui falala kiate ia ʻamui ke maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengata.” (1 Timote 1:16) ʻI he hangē ko Paulá, ko e tokolahi naʻa nau fakafepakiʻi ki muʻa ʻa e moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku nau tauhi kiate Ia he taimí ni. Ko ha ʻuhinga lelei ʻeni ki he hokohoko atu ke faifakamoʻoni ʻo aʻu ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau fakafepaki mai kiate kitautolú. ʻI he taimi tatau, ʻi hono ako tuʻumaʻu ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá pea maʻu ʻa hono ʻuhingá, ʻoku maluʻi ai kitautolu mei he ngāue taʻeʻilo ʻi ha founga ʻe fakahoko mai ai ʻa e taʻehōifua ʻa Sihová.
9, 10. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhaaʻi ʻe he kau Siu ʻo e ʻuluaki senitulí naʻe ʻikai akoʻingofua kinautolu pea naʻa nau anga-fefeka ʻi heʻenau ngaahi vakaí? (e) ʻOku ʻi ai ha faitatau ʻi he Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiane ʻo e ʻaho ní? Fakamatalaʻi.
9 Ki he tokolahi, ʻoku ʻuliʻulilātai ʻenau mahino fakalaumālié koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke akoʻingofua kinautolu pea ʻoku nau anga-fefeka ʻi heʻenau ngaahi vakaí. Naʻe fakataleʻi ʻe he kau Siu tokolahi ʻa Sīsū mo ʻene ngaahi akonakí koeʻuhi naʻa nau pipiki mālohi ki he Lao ʻa Mōsesé. Ko hono moʻoní, naʻa nau kehe kinautolu. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi he hili ʻa e toetuʻu ʻa Sīsuú, naʻe “talagofua ki he tui ae fuu toko lahi oe kau taulaeiki.” (Ngāue 6:7, PM) Ka neongo ia, ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e tokolahi ʻo e kau Siú, naʻe tohi ʻa Paula: “Ka oku aʻu ki he aho ni, oku kei i ho nau loto ae bulou i he lau o Mosese.” (2 Kolinito 3:15, PM) ʻOku ngalingali naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ki muʻa ʻe Sīsū ki he kau taki lotu Siú: “ʻOku mou hakule ʻa e Tohitapu; koeʻuhi ʻoku mou mahalo ʻoku tuʻu ai hoʻomou maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengata: pea ko ia ia ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate au.” (Sione 5:39) Ko e Tohi Tapú naʻa nau mātuʻaki fekumi fakalelei ki aí naʻe totonu ke ne tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau ʻiloʻi ko Sīsū ʻa e Mīsaiá. Kae kehe, naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau Siú ia ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukau pē ʻa kinautolu, pea naʻa mo e ʻAlo ngāue-fakaemana ʻo e ʻOtuá naʻe ʻikai malava ʻi ha founga ke ne fakatuipauʻi kinautolu.
10 Ko e meʻa tatau pē fekauʻaki mo e tokolahi ʻi he Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻaho ní. ʻI he hangē ko e kau Siu ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí, “ʻoku ʻi ai haʻanau mamahiʻi ʻa e ʻOtua, ka ʻoku ʻikai fou ʻi he ʻilo totonu.” (Loma 10:2) Neongo ʻoku ako ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e Tohi Tapú, ʻoku ʻikai te nau fie tui kinautolu ki he meʻa ʻokú ne leaʻakí. ʻOku nau fakafisi ke tali ʻoku akoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻene kakaí fakafou ʻi heʻene kalasi tamaioʻeiki anga-tonu mo potó ko e kau Kalisitiane paní. (Mātiu 24:45) Kae kehe, ʻoku tau mahinoʻi ʻoku akoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻene kakaí pea ʻoku fakalakalaka maʻu pē ʻa hono mahinoʻi ʻo e moʻoni fakaʻotuá. (Palovepi 4:18) ʻI hono fakaʻatā kitautolu ke akoʻi ʻe Sihová, ʻoku tāpuakiʻi ai kitautolu ʻaki ʻa e ʻilo ki hono finangaló mo ʻene taumuʻá.
11. Ko e hā ʻa e ngafa ʻoku fakahoko ʻe he tui ki he meʻa pē ʻoku loto ke tui ki aí ʻi hono fūfuuʻi ʻa e moʻoní?
11 ʻOku fakakuihi ʻa e niʻihi kehe ʻe he tui ki he meʻa pē ʻoku nau loto ke tui ki aí. Naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe manukiʻi ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá pea mo e pōpoaki ʻoku nau fanongonongo fekauʻaki mo e ʻi ai ʻa Sīsuú. Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Pitá: “ʻOku puli ʻiate kinautolu ʻa e meʻa ni—ka ko honau loto foki,” ʻa ia naʻe ʻomai ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ha fuʻu lōvai ki he māmaní ʻi he taimi ʻo Noá. (2 Pita 3:3-6) ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ko e tokolahi ʻoku taku ko e kau Kalisitiané ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi lelei ʻoku fakahāhā ʻe Sihova ʻa e faimeesi, anga-ʻofa, mo e fakamolemole; neongo ia ʻoku nau tukunoaʻi pe fakataleʻi ʻa e moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakaʻatā ʻa e halaiá mei he tauteá. (Ekisoto 34:6, 7) ʻOku tokanga ʻa e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní ia ke mahinoʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku akoʻi moʻoni ʻe he Tohi Tapú.
12. Kuo anga-fēfē hono fakakuihi ʻo e kakaí ʻe he talatukufakaholó?
12 ʻOku fakakuihi ʻa e kau maʻu lotu tokolahi ʻe he talatukufakaholó. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ki he kau taki lotu ʻi hono ʻahó: “Kuo mou fakataeʻaongaʻi ʻa e lao ʻa e Otua ʻaki hoʻomou lau fakaeonoʻaho [pe talatukufakaholó].” (Mātiu 15:6) Naʻe faivelenga ʻa e kau Siú ʻi hono toe fakafoki mai ʻa e lotu maʻá ʻi he hili ʻa e foki mei he fakaheeʻi ʻi Pāpiloné, ka naʻe hoko ʻa e kau taulaʻeikí ia ʻiate kinautolu pē ʻo loto-mahikihiki mo fiemāʻoniʻoni. Naʻe hoko ʻa e ngaahi kātoanga fakalotú ia ʻo fakaeouau pē, ʻo liʻaki ai ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa moʻoni ki he ʻOtuá. (Malakai 1:6-8) ʻI he aʻu mai ki he taimi ʻo Sīsuú, naʻe tānaki atu ai ʻe he kau sikalaipé mo e kau Fālesí ʻa e ngaahi talatukufakaholo lahi fau ki he Lao ʻa Mōsesé. Naʻe fakaeʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa e kau tangata ko iá ko e kau mālualoi koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau kei ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni māʻoniʻoni ko ia naʻe fakatuʻunga ai ʻa e Laó. (Mātiu 23:23, 24) Kuo pau ke tokanga ʻa e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní ke ʻoua te nau fakaʻatā ʻa e ngaahi talatukufakaholo fakalotu faʻu ʻe he tangatá ke ne afeʻi kinautolu mei he lotu maʻá.
“Mamata Kiate Ia Oku Tae Ha Mai”
13. ʻI he ongo founga fē naʻe mātā ai ʻe Mōsese ha konga ʻo e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá?
13 Naʻe kole ʻa Mōsese ke sio ki he lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he moʻungá, pea naʻá ne sio ki he toenga ulo ʻo e lāngilangi ʻo Sihová. ʻI heʻene ʻalu ki he tāpanekalé, naʻe ʻikai te ne tui ha pūlou. Ko Mōsesé ko ha tangata ʻo e tui loloto ʻa ia naʻá ne holi ke fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. Neongo naʻe tāpuakiʻi ia ke ne sio ʻi he vīsoné ki ha konga ʻo e lāngilangi ʻo Sihová, ʻi ha ʻuhinga naʻá ne ʻosi mātā ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻaki ʻa e mata ʻo e tuí. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko Mōsesé “naa ne fakakukafi, o hage oku ne mamata kiate ia oku tae ha mai.” (Hepelu 11:27, PM; Ekisoto 34:5-7) Pea naʻá ne tapua atu ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he ngaahi huelo naʻe haʻu ʻi ha taimi mei hono fofongá ka naʻe toe pehē foki ʻi heʻene ngaahi feinga ke tokoniʻi ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ke nau hoko ʻo ʻilo mo tauhi kia Sihová.
14. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono mātā ʻe Sīsū ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ko e hā ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne fiefia aí?
14 ʻI hēvani, naʻe mātā tonu ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi ha ngaahi kuonga taʻeʻiloa, naʻa mo e talu pē mei he taimi ki muʻa ʻi hono fakatupu ʻo e ʻunivēsí.

Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e ʻofa mo e manavaʻofa māfana lahi taha ki he ʻuluaki fakatupu ko ʻeni ʻo e meʻa fakatupú kotoa. Naʻe totongi fakafoki ia ʻe Sīsū ʻi hono fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofa mo e manavaʻofa loloto ki hono Tokotaha Foaki-Moʻui fakaʻotuá. (Sione 14:31; 17:24) Ko ʻena ʻofá ko ha ʻofa haohaoa ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e Tamai mo e ʻAlo. Ko Sīsū, ʻi he hangē ko Mōsesé, naʻá ne fiefia ʻi hono tapua atu ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo Sihová ʻi he ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne akoʻí.
15. ʻI he founga fē ʻoku fakalaulauloto ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ki he lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá?
15 ʻI he hangē ko Mōsese mo Sīsuú, ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni lolotonga ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he māmaní ʻoku nau vēkeveke ke fakalaulauloto ki he lāngilangi ʻo Sihová. Kuo ʻikai te nau tafoki mei he ongoongo lelei lāngilangiʻiá. Naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “O ka tafoki ia ki he Eiki [ke fai hono finangaló], e too ae bulou.” (2 Kolinito 3:16, PM) ʻOku tau ako ʻa e Tohi Tapú koeʻuhi ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ke fai ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku tau leleiʻia ʻi he lāngilangi naʻe tapua atu ʻi he fofonga ʻo e ʻAlo mo e Tuʻi pani ʻa Sihová, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, pea ʻoku tau faʻifaʻitaki ki heʻene faʻifaʻitakiʻangá. ʻI he hangē ko Mōsese pea hangē ko Sīsuú, kuo tāpuakiʻi kitautolu ʻaki ha ngāue fakafaifekau, ko hono akoʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻOtua lāngilangiʻia ko ia ʻoku tau lotu ki aí.
