Hoko ʻo ʻIloʻi ʻa e Ngaahi Founga ʻa Sihová
“Ke ke fakaʻilo mai muʻa ho hala [pe ngaahi foungá], ke u ʻiloʻi koe.”—EKISOTO 33:13.
1, 2. (a) Ko e hā naʻe fai pehē ai ʻa Mōsese ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá ne fai ʻi heʻene sio ki ha ʻIsipite ʻokú ne ngaohikoviʻi ha Hepeluú? (e) Ke feʻunga ki he ngāue ʻa Sihová, ko e hā naʻe fiemaʻu ke ako ʻe Mōsesé?
NAʻE tauhi hake ʻa Mōsese ʻi he fale ʻo Feló pea naʻe akoʻi ia ʻi he poto naʻe fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻe he houʻeiki ʻo ʻIsipité. Kae kehe, naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Mōsese naʻe ʻikai ko ha ʻIsipite ia. Naʻe fanauʻi mai ia ʻe ha ongo mātuʻa Hepelū. ʻI hono taʻu 40, naʻá ne ʻalu atu ai ke vakai ki hono fanga tokouá, ʻa e fānau ʻa ʻIsilelí. ʻI heʻene sio ki ha ʻIsipite ʻokú ne ngaohikoviʻi ha taha ʻo e kau Hepeluú, naʻe ʻikai ke fakataʻetaʻetokanga ki ai ʻa Mōsese. Naʻá ne tāmateʻi ʻa e ʻIsipité. Naʻe fili ʻa Mōsese ke kau mo e kakai ʻa Sihová pea naʻá ne fakakaukau naʻe ngāueʻaki ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ke fakahaofi hono fanga tokouá. (Ngāue 7:21-25; Hepelu 11:24, 25) ʻI he hoko ʻa e meʻá ni ʻo ʻiloá, naʻe vakai ai ʻa e houʻeiki ʻo ʻIsipité kia Mōsese ko ha tokotaha angatuʻu, pea naʻe pau ai ke ne hola telia ʻene moʻuí. (Ekisoto 2:11-15) Kapau naʻe fiemaʻu ke ngāueʻaki ʻa Mōsese ʻe he ʻOtuá, naʻe pau ke ne hoko ʻo maheni lelei ange mo e ngaahi founga ʻa Sihová. ʻE akoʻingofua ʻa Mōsese?—Sāme 25:9.
2 Naʻe moʻui ʻa Mōsese ʻi he taʻu ʻe 40 hono hokó ko ha ʻāuhē mo ha tauhi-sipi. ʻI he ʻikai ke ne fakaʻatā ia ke lōmekina ʻe he loto-mamahí koeʻuhi ko e hā ngali naʻe ʻikai ke fakamahuʻingaʻi ia ʻe hono fanga tokoua Hepeluú, naʻe ʻulutukua ʻa Mōsese ki he meʻa naʻe fakaʻatā ʻe he ʻOtuá ke hoko kiate iá. Neongo ne ʻosi atu ʻa e ngaahi taʻu lahi lolotonga ia naʻe ʻikai hā ngali kuó ne fakatokangaʻi ia, naʻe fakaʻatā ʻe Mōsese ʻa Sihova ke ne oʻi ia. Naʻá ne tohi ki mui ʻo ʻikai ʻi ha fakafuofua fakaeia, ka ʻi he malumalu ʻo e tākiekina ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá: “Koe tagata ko Mosese nae agavaivai ia, o lahi hake i he kau tagata kotoabe nae i he fuga o mamani.” (Nomipa 12:3, PM) Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa Mōsese ʻi ha ngaahi founga tuʻu-ki-muʻa. Kapau te tau kumi mo kitautolu ki he anga-vaivaí, ʻe tāpuakiʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova.—Sefanaia 2:3.
ʻOange ki Ai ha Fekau
3, 4. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e fekau naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sihova kia Mōsesé? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e tokoni naʻe tokonaki maʻa Mōsesé?
3 ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe lea ai ha ʻāngelo fakafofonga ʻo Sihova kia Mōsese ofi ki he Moʻunga Hōlepí ʻi he Muitolotolo Sainaí. Naʻá ne tala ange kia Mōsese: “Kuo u matuʻaki mamata ki he ngaohikoviʻi ʻo hoku kakai ʻoku ʻi Isipite, pea kuo ongo mai ʻenau tautapa koeʻuhi ko honau kau ofisa; he ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ʻenau ngaahi mamahi; pea kuo u ʻalu hifo ke fakahaofi kinautolu mei he nima ʻo e kau Isipite, pea ke ʻohake kinautolu mei he fonua ko ia ki ha fonua lelei mo lahi, ha fonua ʻoku mahutafea ʻi he huʻakau mo e honi.” (Ekisoto 3:2, 7, 8) ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni, naʻe maʻu ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ha ngāue kia Mōsese ke ne fai, ka naʻe pau ke fai ia ʻi he founga ʻa Sihová.
4 Naʻe hoko atu ʻa e ʻāngelo ʻa Sihová: “Ko ia ke ke haʻu ā, kau fekau atu koe kia Felo, ke ʻomi mei Isipite ʻa hoku kakai ko haʻa Isileli.” Naʻe toumoua ʻa Mōsese. Naʻe ʻikai te ne ongoʻi taau, pea ke ne falala kiate ia tonu, naʻe ʻikai pē. Kae kehe, naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese: “Te u ʻiate koe.” (Ekisoto 3:10-12) Naʻe fakaivia ʻe Sihova ʻa Mōsese ke ne fakahoko ha ngaahi fakaʻilonga fakaemana ke hoko ia ko ha ngaahi fakamoʻoni naʻe fekauʻi moʻoni atu ia ʻe he ʻOtuá. Naʻe pau ke ʻalu mo e tokoua ʻo Mōsesé, ʻa ʻĒlone, ko ha tangata-lea. ʻE akoʻi ʻe Sihova kiate kinaua ʻa e meʻa ke na leaʻaki mo faí. (Ekisoto 4:1-17) ʻE fakahoko loto-tōnunga ʻe Mōsese ʻa e ngafa ko iá?
5. Ko e hā naʻe fakahoko ai ʻe he fakakaukau ʻa ʻIsilelí ha pole kia Mōsesé?
5 Naʻe ʻuluaki tui ʻa e kau tangata matuʻotuʻa ʻo ʻIsilelí kia Mōsese mo ʻĒlone. (Ekisoto 4:29-31) Kae kehe, naʻe vave hono hanga ʻe he “kau matapule ʻo haʻa Isileli” ʻo tukuakiʻi ʻa Mōsese mo hono tokouá ki hono “fakanamukuuʻi” kinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeikí. (Ekisoto 5:19-21; 6:9) ʻI he mavahe ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí mei ʻIsipité, naʻa nau ilifia ʻi he sio ki he tulimui mai ʻa e ngaahi saliote ʻIsipité. ʻI he tuʻu mei muʻa ʻiate kinautolu ʻa e Tahi Kulokulá pea haʻu mei mui ʻa e ngaahi saliote taú, naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí kuo nau ʻefihia, pea naʻa nau tukuakiʻi ʻa Mōsese. Naʻe mei fēfē hoʻo tali ʻaʻaú? Neongo naʻe ʻikai ke maʻu ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí ha ngaahi vaka, ʻi he fakahinohino ʻa Sihová naʻe naʻinaʻi ʻa Mōsese ki he kakaí ke nau mateuteu ke mavahe. Naʻe hanga leva ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo tekeʻi ʻa e ngaahi vai ʻo e Tahi Kulokulá, pea naʻe hoko ʻa e kilisitahí ko e fonua mōmoa koeʻuhi ke lava ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo kolosi ai.—Ekisoto 14:1-22.
Ko ha ʻĪsiu ʻOku Mahuʻinga Ange Ia ʻi he Fakahaofí
6. Ko e hā naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻi heʻene fekauʻi ʻa Mōsesé?
6 ʻI hono fekauʻi ʻo Mōsesé, naʻe fakamamafaʻi ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e huafa fakaʻotuá. Naʻe mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻa hono fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻo e huafa ko iá pea mo e Tokotaha ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻí. ʻI he ʻeke fekauʻaki mo hono huafá, naʻe tala ange ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese: “Ko au ko au ai pe [pe Te u hoko ki ha meʻa pē ʻoku ou loto ke hoko ki aí].” ʻIkai ngata aí, naʻe pau ke tala ʻe Mōsese ki he ngaahi foha ʻo ʻIsilelí: “Kuo fekau au kiate kimoutolu ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoʻomou ngaahi kui, ko e ʻOtua ʻo Epalahame, ko e ʻOtua ʻo Aisake, pea ko e ʻOtua ʻo Sekope.” Naʻe toe tānaki atu ʻe Sihova: “Ko hoku hingoa ia ʻo taʻengata, pea ko hoku fakamanatu ia ki he toʻutangata mo e toʻutangata.” (Ekisoto 3:13-15) ʻOku kei hoko ʻa e Sihová ko e huafa ia ʻoku ʻilo ʻaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻe heʻene kau sevāniti takatakai ʻi he māmaní.—Aisea 12:4, 5; 43:10-12.
7. Ko e hā naʻe enginaki ʻa e ʻOtuá kia Mōsese ke ne faí neongo ʻa e fieʻeiki ʻa Feló?
7 ʻI he hā he ʻao ʻo Feló, naʻe fakahoko ai ʻe Mōsese mo ʻĒlone ʻena pōpoakí ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihová. Ka naʻe pehē loto-fieʻeiki ʻe Felo: “Ko hai ʻa Sihova ke u tokanga ai ki heʻene lea, ʻo tuku atu ʻa Isileli? ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻa Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai foki te u tuku atu ʻa Isileli.” (Ekisoto 5:1, 2) Naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻe Felo naʻá ne fakatou maʻu ʻa e loto-fefeka mo e kākā, ka naʻe enginaki pē ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ke toutou ʻoatu kiate ia ʻa e pōpoakí. (Ekisoto 7:14-16, 20-23; 8:1, 2, 20) Naʻe malava ke sio ʻa Mōsese naʻe fakaʻitaʻi ai ʻa Felo. ʻE toe ʻi ai hano ʻaonga ʻo ha toe ʻalu hangatonu kiate ia? Naʻe loto-vēkeveke ʻa ʻIsileli ki he fakahaofí. Naʻe fakamatematē ʻa Felo ʻi heʻene fakafisingaʻí. Ko e hā naʻá ke mei faí kapau ko Mōsese koe?
8. Ko e hā ʻa e ʻaonga naʻe hoko mai mei he founga naʻe feangai ai ʻa Sihova mo e tuʻunga fekauʻaki mo Feló, pea ʻoku totonu ke fēfē ʻa e kaunga ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko iá kiate kitautolú?
8 Naʻe toe fakahoko ʻe Mōsese ha pōpoaki ʻe taha ʻo pehē: “Ko eni ʻa e lea ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo haʻa Hepelu, Tukuange hoku kakai ke nau tauhi kiate au.” Naʻe toe pehē ʻe he ʻOtuá: “Ko eni naʻa ku mei mafao atu hoku nima, ʻo u taaʻi koe mo ho kakai ʻaki ʻa e mahaki fakaʻauha, kae tuʻusi koe mei mamani. Ka koeʻuhi naʻa ku fokotuʻu koe ki he meʻa ko eni, ke u fakaha ʻiate koe hoku ivi, pea koeʻuhi ke ongoongoa hoku hingoa ʻi mamani katoa.” (Fakaʻītali ʻamautolu; Ekisoto 9:13-16) Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻe fai kia Felo loto-fefeká, naʻe fakataumuʻa ʻa Sihova ke fakahāhā hono iví ʻi ha founga ʻe hoko ai ko ha fakatokanga ki he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻoku nau fakafetau kiate iá. ʻE kau heni ʻa Sētane ko e Tēvoló, ʻa e tokotaha ko ia naʻe ui ki mui ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ko e “ʻeiki ʻo māmani.” (Sione 14:30; Loma 9:17-24) Hangē ko ia naʻe tomuʻa talá, naʻe fanongonongo ʻa e huafa ʻo Sihová takatakai ʻi he māmaní. Naʻe taki atu ʻene kātaki-fuoloá ki he fakahaofi ʻo e kau ʻIsilelí pea mo ha fuʻu kakai tokolahi kehekehe naʻe kau fakataha mo kinautolu ʻi he lotu kiate iá. (Ekisoto 9:20, 21; 12:37, 38) Talu mei he taimi ko iá, ko e fanongonongo ʻo e huafa ʻo Sihová kuo maʻu ʻaonga ai ʻa e toe laui miliona kehe kuo nau maʻu ʻa e lotu moʻoní.
Feangai mo ha Kakai Faingataʻa
9. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe he kakai tonu ʻo Mōsesé ʻa e taʻefakaʻapaʻapa kia Sihová?
9 Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau Hepeluú ʻa e huafa fakaʻotuá. Naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Mōsese ʻa e huafa ko iá ʻi heʻene lea kiate kinautolú, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau fakahāhā maʻu pē ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa totonú ki he Tokotaha ʻoku ʻaʻana iá. ʻI he hili pē hono fakahaofi fakaemana ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí mei ʻIsipité, ko e hā naʻe hokó ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻikai ke nau maʻu vave ai ha vai feʻunga ke inú? Naʻa nau muhu fekauʻaki mo Mōsese. Ko hono hokó naʻa nau lāunga fekauʻaki mo e meʻakaí. Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa Mōsese kiate kinautolu ko ʻenau muhú naʻe ʻikai ko e fai pē kiate ia mo ʻĒlone ka kia Sihova. (Ekisoto 15:22-24; 16:2-12) ʻI Moʻunga Sainai, naʻe ʻoange ai ʻe Sihova ki he kau ʻIsilelí ʻa e Laó, pea naʻe haʻu fakataha ʻeni mo ha ngaahi fakahāhā mahulu hake ʻi natula. Ka koe kakaí ia, naʻa nau talangataʻa kinautolu ʻo ngaohi ha kiʻi pulu koula ke lotu ki ai pea taku ʻo pehē naʻa nau fai ha “katoanga kia Sihova.”—Ekisoto 32:1-9.
10. Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga makehe ai ki he kau ʻovasia Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻa e kole ʻa Mōsese naʻe lēkooti ʻi he Ekisoto 33:13?
10 Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e feangai ʻa Mōsese mo ha kakai naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Sihova tonu ko e kau kia-kekevá? Naʻe kōlenga ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova: “Kapau moʻoni kuo u taʻimalie ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ke ke fakaʻilo mai muʻa ho hala [pe ngaahi foungá], ke u ʻiloʻi koe; koeʻuhiā ke u fakahoifua ʻa e ʻAfiona.” (Ekisoto 33:13) ʻI hono tokangaʻi ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova ʻi onopōní, ʻoku tauhi ai ʻe he kau ʻovasia Kalisitiané ha tākanga ʻoku anga-fakatōkilalo lahi ange ia. Kae kehe, ʻoku nau lotu meimei tatau: “ʻEiki, fakaʻilo mai ho ngaahi founga; ako kiate au ho ngaahi ʻalunga.” (Sāme 25:4) ʻOku hanga ʻe he ʻiloʻi ʻo e ngaahi founga ʻa Sihová ʻo fakaivia ʻa e kau ʻovasiá ke nau feangai mo e ngaahi tuʻungá ʻi ha founga ʻoku fehoanaki mo e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá pea ʻoku huʻufataha ia mo hono ʻulungāangá.

11. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tataki naʻe tokonaki ʻe Sihova kia Mōsesé, pea ko e hā ʻoku tau mahuʻingaʻia ai ʻiate kinautolú?
11 Ko e meʻa naʻe ʻamanekina ʻe Sihova mei hono kakaí naʻe tala ngutu mai ia ʻi Moʻunga Sainai. Naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese ki mui ai ha ongo lauʻi maka ʻe ua ʻoku hiki ai ʻa e Fekau ʻe Hongofulú. ʻI heʻene hifo mei he moʻungá, naʻá ne sio atu ki he kau ʻIsilelí ʻoku nau lotu ki he kiʻi pulu naʻe haká pea ne lī ki lalo ʻa e ongo maka lafalafá ʻi heʻene ʻitá, ʻo na momomomo. Naʻe toe tohi ʻe Sihova ʻa e Fekau ʻe Hongofulú ʻi ha ongo lauʻi maka naʻe tongi ʻe Mōsese. (Ekisoto 32:19; 34:1) Naʻe ʻikai ke liliu ʻa e ngaahi fekaú ni talu mei honau ʻuluaki ʻomaí. Naʻe fiemaʻu ke ngāue ʻa Mōsese ʻo fehoanaki mo kinautolu. Naʻe toe fakamahino ʻe he ʻOtuá kia Mōsese ʻa e faʻahinga tokotaha ko Iá, ʻo fakahāhā ai kia Mōsese ʻa e founga ke ne tōʻongaʻaki ʻi he tuʻunga ko e fakafofonga ʻo Sihová. ʻOku ʻikai ke ʻi he malumalu ʻo e Lao ʻa Mōsesé ʻa e kau Kalisitiané, ka ko e meʻa naʻe tala ʻe Sihova kia Mōsesé ʻoku fakasino mai ai ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni tefito lahi kuo ʻikai liliu pea ʻe hokohoko atu hono ngāueʻaki ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku lotu kia Sihová. (Loma 6:14; 13:8-10) Tau lāulea angé ki ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi meʻá ni.
12. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e kaunga ki ʻIsileli ʻa hono fiemaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa e anga-līʻoa maʻataʻataá?
12 ʻOange kia Sihova ʻa e anga-līʻoa maʻataʻatā. Naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻi he taimi naʻe fanongonongo ai ʻe Sihova ʻokú ne fiemaʻu ʻa e anga-līʻoa maʻataʻataá. (Ekisoto 20:2-5) Naʻe sio ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he fakamoʻoni lahi fau ko Sihova ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní. (Teutalonome 4:33-35) Naʻe fakamahino ʻe Sihova ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e hā naʻe fai ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kehé, heʻikai te ne kātakiʻi ha faʻahinga founga pē ʻo e tauhi ʻaitolí pe fakahaʻele faʻahikehé ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kakaí. Ko ʻenau anga-līʻoa kiate iá ke ʻoua ʻe hoko ko ha tuʻunga fakaeouau pē. Ko kinautolu kotoa naʻe pau ke nau ʻofa kia Sihova ʻaki honau lotó kotoa, honau soulú kotoa, pea mo e kotoa ʻo honau mālohí. (Teutalonome 6:5, 6) ʻE kau ʻi he meʻá ni ʻenau leá, ko honau ʻulungāangá—ko hono moʻoní, ko e ngaahi tafaʻaki kotoa ʻo ʻenau moʻuí. (Livitiko 20:27; 24:15, 16; 26:1) Naʻe toe fakamahino ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa e anga-līʻoa maʻataʻataá.—Maake 12:28-30; Luke 4:8.
13. Ko e hā naʻe moʻuaʻaki ai ʻe ʻIsileli ki he ʻOtuá ʻa e talangofua kakató, pea ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke ne ueʻi kitautolu ke tau talangofua kiate iá? (Koheleti 12:13)

Naʻe vaheʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e taimi ʻi he uike taki taha ʻo ne fokotuʻu ia ke toputapu, ko e taimi naʻe ngāueʻaki maʻataʻatā pē ki he ngāue naʻe fekauʻaki mo e lotu ki he ʻOtua moʻoní.

Kapau ʻokú ke maʻu ha tikisinale, lau ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne leaʻaki ʻi lalo ʻi he “gracious.” Fakahoa ʻeni mo e ngaahi konga Tohi Tapu ʻoku lāulea ai kia Sihova ʻokú ne anga-ʻofá. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he Tohi Tapú ko e anga-ʻofa ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻa Sihová ʻoku kau ai ʻa e tokanga ʻofa ki he faʻahinga tuʻutāmaki ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo hono kakaí. (Ekisoto 22:26, 27) ʻI ha fonua pē, ko e kau mulí pea pehē ki he niʻihi kehé, ʻoku nau ʻi ha tuʻunga tuʻutāmaki nai. ʻI hono akoʻi hono kakaí ke nau taʻefilifilimānako pea ke fakahāhā ʻa e anga-ʻofa ki he faʻahinga peheé, naʻe fakamanatuʻi ai ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu naʻa nau hoko mo kinautolu foki ko e kau muli—ʻi ʻIsipite. (Teutalonome 24:17-22) Fēfē kitautolu ko e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻaho ní? Ko e anga-ʻofa ʻi heʻetau tafaʻakí ʻe tokoni ia ke fakafāʻūtahaʻi kitautolu pea ke tohoaki mai ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé ki he lotu kia Sihová.—Ngāue 10:34, 35; Fakahā 7:9, 10.
18. Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako mei he ngaahi fakangatangata naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sihova ki ʻIsileli fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi founga ʻa e kakai ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kehé?
18 Kae kehe, ko e tokanga anga-ʻofa ki he kakai ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga kehé, naʻe ʻikai ke ne fetongi ʻe ia ʻa e ʻofa ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova mo ʻene ngaahi tuʻunga fakaeʻulungāangá. Ko ia ai, naʻe akoʻi ki he kau ʻIsilelí ke ʻoua te nau kau ʻi he ngaahi founga ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga takatakaí, ʻoua te nau ohi ʻenau ngaahi tōʻonga fakalotú mo ʻenau ngaahi founga moʻui taʻetāú. (Ekisoto 34:11-16; Teutalonome 7:1-4) ʻOku toe ngāueʻaki ia kiate kitautolu ʻi he ʻaho ní. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau hoko ko ha kakai māʻoniʻoni, ʻo tatau mo hotau ʻOtuá, ʻa Sihova, ʻoku māʻoniʻoni.—1 Pita 1:15, 16.
19. ʻOku malava fēfē ke maluʻi ʻe he mahinoʻi ʻo e vakai ʻa Sihova ki he faihalá ʻa hono kakaí?
19 Koeʻuhi ke mahinoʻi ʻe Mōsese ʻa ʻEne ngaahi foungá, naʻe fakamahinoʻi ʻe Sihova neongo ʻoku ʻikai te ne hōifua ki he angahalá, ʻokú ne tuai ki he houhau. ʻOkú ne tuku ha taimi ki he kakaí ke nau ako ai ʻene ngaahi fiemaʻú pea talangofua ki ai. ʻI he ʻi ai ha fakatomalá, ʻoku fakamolemoleʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e angahalá, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne taʻofi ʻa e tautea ʻoku tuha ki he ngaahi faihala mamafá. Naʻá ne fakatokanga kia Mōsese ʻe lava ke uesia ʻa e ngaahi toʻutangata ʻi he kahaʻú, ki he lelei pe ki he kovi, ʻe he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí. Ko hono mahinoʻi loto-houngaʻia ʻa e ngaahi founga ʻa Sihová ʻoku malava ke ne maluʻi ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá mei hono tukuakiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he ngaahi tuʻunga kuo nau fakatupunga ke hoko kiate kinautolú pe mei he fakamulituku ʻo pehē ʻokú ne fai tuaí.
20. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau feangainga feʻungamālie ai mo e kaungātuí pea mo e faʻahinga ʻoku tau fetaulaki mo ia ʻi heʻetau ngāue fakafaifekaú? (Sāme 86:11)
20 Kapau ʻokú ke loto ke ʻai ke loloto hoʻo ʻilo kia Sihová mo ʻene ngaahi foungá, hokohoko atu ke fai ha fekumi pea ke fakalaulauloto ʻi he taimi ʻokú ke lau ai ʻa e Tohi Tapú. Sivisiviʻi fakalelei ʻa e ngaahi tafaʻaki fakamānako kehekehe ʻo e ʻulungāanga ʻo Sihová. Fakakaukau faʻa lotu ki he founga ʻe lava ke ke faʻifaʻitaki ai ki he ʻOtuá pea liliu hoʻo moʻuí ke kakato ange ki heʻene taumuʻá. ʻE tokoniʻi koe ʻe he meʻá ni ke ke fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei he ngaahi tōʻangá, ke feangainga feʻungamālie ai mo e kaungātuí, pea ke tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi pea ʻofa ki hotau ʻOtua ngeiá.
