ʻOku Lahi ʻa Sihova ʻi he ʻOfa Mateakí
‘Oku lahi ae aloofa a Jihová.’—SĀME 145:8, PM.
1. ʻOku lahi fēfē ʻa e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá?
“KO E ʻOtua ko e ʻOfa.” (1 Sione 4:8) Ko e kupuʻi lea fakalotomāfana ko iá ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ai ko e founga pule ʻa Sihová ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi he ʻofá. He ko ē, naʻa mo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻoku ʻikai te nau talangofua kiate iá ʻoku nau maʻu ʻaonga mei he laʻā mo e ʻuha ʻokú ne tokonaki ʻofa maí! (Mātiu 5:44, 45) Koeʻuhi ko e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he māmani ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, naʻa mo hono ngaahi filí ʻoku lava ke nau fakatomala, tafoki kiate ia, pea maʻu ʻa e moʻuí. (Sione 3:16) Kae kehe, ʻe vavé ni ke tafiʻi atu ʻe Sihova ʻa e fulikivanu taʻemangoí koeʻuhi ke lava ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa ia ʻoku ʻofa kiate iá ʻo maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá ʻi ha māmani foʻou māʻoniʻoni.—Sāme 37:9-11, 29; 2 Pita 3:13.
2. Ko e hā ʻa e tafaʻaki makehe ʻo e ʻofá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihova ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻi ha vahaʻangatae fakatapui mo iá?
2 ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e ʻofa ki heʻene kau lotu moʻoní ʻi ha founga mahuʻinga tuʻuloa. Ko e ʻofa ko iá ʻoku fakahaaʻi ia ʻe ha foʻi lea faka-Hepelū ʻoku liliu ko e “ʻaloʻofa,” pe “ʻofa mateaki.” Ko Tuʻi Tēvita ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá naʻá ne fakamahuʻingaʻi lahi ʻa e ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá. Koeʻuhi ko e meʻa naʻá ne hokosia fakafoʻituituí pea mo ʻene fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi feangainga ʻa e ʻOtuá mo e niʻihi kehé, naʻe lava ai ke hiva ʻa Tēvita ʻi he loto-falala: ‘Oku lahi ae aloofa [pe “ʻofa mateaki”] a Jihová.’—Sāme 145:8, PM.
ʻIloʻi ʻa e Faʻahinga Mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá
3, 4. (a) ʻOku anga-fēfē hono tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he Sāme 145 ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa Sihová? (e) ʻOku anga-fēfē hono hanga ʻe he faʻahinga mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo “fakamonūʻiaʻi” iá?
3 ʻI he fekauʻaki mo Sihova ko e ʻOtuá, naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAna, ko e faʻē ʻa e palōfita ko Sāmiuelá: “Te ne tauhi ʻa e vaʻe ʻo ʻene kau lotumoʻoni.” (1 Samiuela 2:9) Ko hai ʻa e “kau lotumoʻoni” pe faʻahinga mateaki ko iá? ʻOku ʻomai ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita ʻa e talí. Hili hono viki ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakaofo ʻo Sihová, ʻokú ne fakamatala: “ʻE fakamonūʻiaʻi koe ʻe hoʻo faʻahinga mateakí.” (Sāme 145:10, NW) Te ke fifili nai pe ʻe lava fēfē ke fakamonūʻiaʻi ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku nau fai tefito ia ʻaki hono fakahīkihikiʻi ia pe ko e talanoa lelei ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia.
4 Ko e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa Sihová ʻoku lava ke ʻiloʻi ko e faʻahinga ia ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki honau ngutú ke lea lelei fekauʻaki mo ia. ʻI he ngaahi fakatahataha fakasōsialé pea ʻi he ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané, ko e hā ha kaveinga anga-maheni ʻo ʻenau ngaahi lāuleá? Ko e moʻoni, ko e Puleʻanga ʻo Sihová! Ko e kau sevāniti mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku nau kau ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa Tēvitá, ʻa ia naʻá ne hiva: “ʻOku nau talanoa ki he langilangi ʻo ho puleʻanga [ʻo Sihová], mo nau aʻau ho fakangeingei na.”—Sāme 145:11.
5. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻetau ʻiloʻi ʻoku fakatokangaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e taimi ʻoku lea lelei ai ʻa ʻene faʻahinga mateakí ʻo fekauʻaki mo iá?
5 ʻOku fakatokangaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e taimi ʻoku fakahīkihikiʻi ai ia ʻe heʻene faʻahinga mateakí? ʻIo, ʻokú ne tokanga ki he meʻa ʻoku nau leaʻakí. ʻI ha kikite fekauʻaki mo e lotu moʻoní ʻi hotau ʻahó, naʻe tohi ʻe Malakai: “Toki fealeleaʻaki ʻa kinautolu naʻe ʻapasia kia Sihova: pea naʻe tokanga ki ai ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne fakafanongo, pea naʻe fai ʻa e tohi fakamanatu ke feʻao mo ia, koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoku ʻapasia kia Sihova, mo tokaʻi hono huafa.” (Malakai 3:16) ʻOku fakafiefiaʻi lahi ʻa Sihova ʻi he taimi ʻoku lea lelei ai ʻa ʻene faʻahinga mateakí ʻo fekauʻaki mo iá, pea ʻokú ne manatuʻi kinautolu.
6. Ko e hā ʻa e ngāue ʻokú ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻa e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá?
6 Ko e kau sevāniti mateaki ʻa Sihová ʻe toe lava ke ʻiloʻi kinautolu koeʻuhí ko ʻenau loto-toʻa mo e tamuʻomuʻa ʻi he lea ki he kakai ʻoku ʻikai ko e kau lotu ʻa e ʻOtua moʻoní. Ko e moʻoni, ko e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku nau “fakaʻilo ʻene fai fakangeingei [pe ngaahi ngāue māfimafi] ki he hakoʻi tangata, mo e naunau ʻo e teunga ʻo hono puleʻanga.” (Sāme 145:12) ʻOkú ke kumi pea ngāue ʻaonga kakato ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi faingamālie ke lea ai ki he kau solá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga-tuʻi ʻo Sihová? ʻI he ʻikai hangē ko e ngaahi founga-pule fakaetangatá, ʻa ia ʻe vavé ni ke mole atú, ko hono tuʻunga-tuʻí ʻoku taʻengata. (1 Timote 1:17) ʻOku fiemaʻu fakavavevave ke ako ʻa e kakaí ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga-tuʻi taʻengata ʻo Sihová pea nau tuʻu ko hono kau poupou. “Ko hoʻo puleʻanga ko e puleʻanga ʻo e ngaahi kuonga kotoa,” ko e hiva ia ʻa Tēvitá “pea ko ho hau ʻoku fai mei he toʻutangata ki he toʻutangata.”—Sāme 145:13.
7, 8. Ko e hā naʻe hoko ʻi he 1914, pea ko e hā ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻoku lolotonga pule ʻa e ʻOtuá fakafou ʻi he Puleʻanga ʻo hono ʻAló?
7 Talu mei he 1914, kuo ʻi ai ʻa e ʻuhinga lahi ange ke lea ai ʻo fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga-tuʻi ʻo Sihová. ʻI he taʻu ko iá, naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e Puleʻanga faka-Mīsaia fakahēvaní fakataha mo Sīsū Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻo Tēvitá, ko hono Tuʻi. Naʻe fakahoko ai ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene palōmesi ko e tuʻunga-tuʻi ʻo Tēvitá ʻe fokotuʻu maʻu ia ʻo taʻengata.—2 Samiuela 7:12, 13; Luke 1:32, 33.
8 Ko e fakamoʻoni ʻoku lolotonga pule ʻa Sihova fakafou ʻi he Puleʻanga ʻo hono ʻAló, ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻoku hā ia ʻi he fakahoko hokohoko ʻo e fakaʻilonga ʻo e ʻi ai ʻa Kalaisí. Ko e tafaʻaki ʻiloa taha ʻo e fakaʻilonga ko iá ko e ngāue naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe Sīsū ki he kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene pehē: “ʻE ʻoua ke fanongonongo ki mamani katoa ʻa e ongoongolelei ko eni ʻo e puleʻanga, ke ai ha fakamatala ki he ngāhi kakai kotoa pe, pea toki hoko ʻa e ngataʻanga.” (Mātiu 24:3-14) Koeʻuhi ko e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku nau fakahoko faivelenga ʻa e kikite ko iá, ʻoku laka hake he kau tangata, kau fefine, mo e fānau ʻe toko ono miliona ʻoku nau kau he taimí ni ʻi he ngāue maʻongoʻonga laulōtaha ko ení. Kuo vavé ni ke hoko mai ʻa e ngataʻangá ki he kau fakafepaki kotoa ʻo e Puleʻanga ʻo Sihová.—Fakahā 11:15, 18.
Maʻu ʻAonga mei he Tuʻunga-Hau ʻo Sihová
9, 10. Ko e hā ʻa e faikehekehe ʻoku ʻi ai ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Sihova mo e kau pule fakaetangatá?
9 Kapau ko e kau Kalisitiane fakatapui kitautolu, ko hotau vahaʻangatae mo e ʻEiki Hau ko Sihová ʻoku ʻomai ai kia kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga lahi. (Sāme 71:5; 116:12) Hangē ko ení, koeʻuhi ʻoku tau manavahē ki he ʻOtuá pea tōʻongafai ʻaki ʻa e māʻoniʻoní, ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻene hōifuá pea ofi fakalaumālie kiate ia. (Ngāue 10:34, 35; Semisi 4:8) ʻI hono kehé, ko e kau pule fakaetangatá ʻoku faʻa hā ʻenau feohi mo e kakai ʻiloá, hangē ko e kau taki fakakautaú, kau tangata pisinisi koloaʻiá, pe ko e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻiloa he ngaahi sipotí mo e fakafiefiá. Fakatatau ki he nusipepa ʻAfilika ko e Sowetan, naʻe leaʻaki eni ʻe ha ʻōfisa fakapuleʻanga tuʻu-ki-muʻa ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi feituʻu masiva ʻangoʻango ʻi hono fonuá: “ʻOku ou mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku ʻikai loto ai ʻa e tokolahi taha ʻo kimautolú ke ʻalu ki he ngaahi feituʻu peheé. Koeʻuhí pē he ʻoku mau loto ke fakangaloʻi ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi tuʻunga pehē. ʻOkú ne hokohokaʻi homau konisēnisí pea ʻoku mau mā ʻi he [ngaahi meʻalele] totongi mamafa ʻoku mau heka aí.”
10 Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tokanga loto-moʻoni ʻa e kau pule fakaetangata ʻe niʻihi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e lelei ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau pule ki aí. Ka naʻa mo e faʻahinga tuʻu-ki-muʻa taha ʻi honau lotolotongá ʻoku ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi ʻi ha tuʻunga fekoekoeʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau pule ki aí. Ko e moʻoni, te tau ʻeke nai: ʻOku ʻi ai ha pule ʻe tokanga lahi ki he kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻokú ne pule ki aí ʻo ne tokoniʻi vave ai ʻa e toko taha taki taha ʻi he ngaahi taimi ʻo e faingataʻá? ʻIo, ʻoku ʻi ai. Naʻe tohi ʻe Tēvita: “ʻOku poupou ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau hinga kotoa pe, pea ko kinautolu ʻoku mapelu ki lalo ʻoku ne pukepuke hake.”—Sāme 145:14.
11. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻoku tō ki he faʻahinga mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ko e hā ʻa e tokoni ʻoku nau maʻú?
11 ʻOku tō ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi mo e fakatamaki lahi ki he faʻahinga mateaki ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá koeʻuhi ko ʻenau taʻehaohaoá tonu pea koeʻuhi ʻoku nau moʻui ʻi ha māmani ʻa ia ʻoku tokoto ʻi he mālohi ʻo Sētané, ʻa e “toko taha kovi.” (1 Sione 5:19, PM; Sāme 34:19) ʻOku hokosia ʻe he kau Kalisitiané ʻa e fakatanga. ʻOku faingataʻaʻia ʻa e niʻihi ʻi ha mahaki tauhi pe koeʻuhi ko e hoko ha mamahi. ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ko e ngaahi fehālaaki ʻa e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa Sihová ʻe fakatupunga nai ai kinautolu ke nau ‘mapelu ki lalo’ ʻi he loto-siʻi. Kae kehe, ko e hā pē ʻa e ʻahiʻahi ʻoku tō kia kinautolú, ʻoku mateuteu maʻu pē ʻa Sihova ke foaki ʻa e fakafiemālie mo e mālohi fakalaumālie ki he toko taha taki taha ʻo kinautolu. Ko e Tuʻi ko Sīsū Kalaisí ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e mahuʻingaʻia anga-ʻofa tatau ʻi he faʻahinga mateaki ʻokú ne pule ki aí.—Sāme 72:12-14.
ʻOmai Meʻakai ʻi Hono Kuonga
12, 13. ʻOku lelei fēfē ʻa e tokonaki ʻa Sihova ki he ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻa e “meʻa moʻui kotoa”?
12 Koeʻuhi ko ʻene ʻaloʻofa lahí, ʻoku tokonaki ai ʻa Sihova ki he ngaahi fiemaʻu kotoa ʻa ʻene kau sevānití. ʻOku kau ki heni ʻa hono ʻomai kia kinautolu ʻa e meʻakai fakatupu ivi. Naʻe tohi ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita: “Ko e mata ʻo e meʻa fulipe ʻoku hanga ki he ʻAfiona [Sihova]: pea ʻoku ke ʻange haʻanau meʻakai ʻi hono kuonga. ʻOku ke folahi ho nima, pea ke fakamakona ʻa e holi ʻa e meʻa moʻui kotoa.” (Sāme 145:15, 16) Naʻa mo e ngaahi taimi ʻo e fakatamakí, ʻoku lava ʻe Sihova ke feʻunuʻaki ʻa e ngaahi meʻá koeʻuhi ke lava ke maʻu ʻe heʻene faʻahinga mateakí ha “mea kai i he aho.”—Luke 11:3, PM; Luke 12:29, 30.
13 Naʻe lave ʻa Tēvita ʻo pehē ʻe fakamākona ʻa e “meʻa moʻui kotoa.” ʻOku kau ai ʻa e fanga manú. Kapau ne ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha mohuku lahi fau ʻo e fonuá ʻi he foʻi māmaní mo e ngaahi ʻakau ʻo e tahí, ko e ngaahi meʻamoʻui ʻi he vaí, fanga manupuná, mo e fanga manu ʻi he fonuá ʻe ʻikai haʻanau ʻosikena ke mānavaʻaki pe ko ha meʻakai ke kai. (Sāme 104:14) Kae kehe, ʻoku tokanga mai ʻa Sihova ke fakamākona ʻa ʻenau ngaahi fiemaʻú kotoa.
14, 15. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e tokonaki mai he ʻahó ni ʻo e meʻakai fakalaumālié?
14 ʻI he ʻikai hangē ko e fanga manú, ʻoku maʻu ʻe he tangatá ha fiemaʻu fakalaumālie. (Mātiu 5:3) He fakaofo moʻoni ē ko e fakamākona ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu fakalaumālie ʻa ʻene faʻahinga mateakí! Ki muʻa ʻi heʻene pekiá, naʻe talaʻofa ʻa Sīsū ʻo pehē ko e “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto” te ne tokonaki ki he kau muimui ʻo Sīsuú ʻa e “mea kai [fakalaumālie] i hono taimi totonu.” (Mātiu 24:45, PM) Ko e toenga ʻo e faʻahinga pani ʻe toko 144,000 ʻoku faʻuʻaki ia ʻa e kalasi tamaioʻeikí he ʻahó ni. Fakafou ʻia kinautolu, kuo tokonaki moʻoni mai ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e meʻakai fakalaumālie lahi fau.
15 Ko e fakatātaá, ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kakai ʻa Sihová ʻoku nau maʻu ʻaonga he taimí ni mei ha liliu foʻou mo totonu ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻi heʻenau lea pē ʻanautolú. Ko ha tāpuaki fakaofo moʻoni ē kuo hoko ʻi he New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures! ʻIkai ngata aí, ko e ngaahi tohi tokoni ako Tohi Tapu ʻe laui miliona ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻa hono pulusí ʻi he lea laka hake he 300. Ko e meʻakai fakalaumālie kotoa ko ení kuo hoko ia ko ha tāpuaki ki he kau lotu moʻoni takatakai ʻi he māmaní. Ko hai ʻoku tuha mo e fakahīkihiki ki he meʻa kotoa ko ení? Ko Sihova ko e ʻOtuá. ʻI heʻene ʻaloʻofa lahí, kuó ne ʻai ai ke malava ki he kalasi tamaioʻeikí ke tokonaki mai ʻa e “meʻakai ʻi hono kuonga.” Fakafou ʻi he ngaahi tokonaki peheé, ʻoku fakamākona ai ʻa e “holi ʻa e meʻa moʻui kotoa” ʻi he palataisi fakalaumālie lolotongá. Pea ko e fiefia ē ka ko e kau sevāniti ʻa Sihová ʻi he ʻamanaki ʻo e vavé ni ke sio ki he liliu ʻa e māmaní ki ha palataisi fakamatelié!—Luke 23:42, 43.
16, 17. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fakatātā ʻo e meʻakai fakalaumālie naʻe haʻu ʻi hono kuonga totonú? (e) ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe he Sāme 145 ʻa e ngaahi ongoʻi ʻa e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻīsiu tefito naʻe ʻohake ʻe Sētané?
16 Fakakaukau angé ki ha fakatātā ʻiloa ʻo e meʻakai fakalaumālie naʻe maʻu ʻi hono kuonga totonú. Lolotonga ʻa e 1939, naʻe kamata ai ʻa e Tau II ʻa Māmaní ʻi ʻIulope. ʻI he taʻu tatau ko iá, naʻe ʻi he ʻīsiu ʻo e Watchtower ʻo Nōvema 1 ha kupu naʻe fakakaveinga ko e “Tuʻu-ʻAtā.” Tupu mei he fakamatala mahino naʻe ʻomai aí, naʻe sio ai ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova takatakai ʻi he māmaní ki he fiemaʻu ke tauhi maʻu ʻa e tuʻu-ʻatā mālohi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga fetauʻakí. Naʻe iku eni ki he ʻita kia kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi founga-pule ʻi he ongo faʻahi fakatouʻosi ʻo e fepaki taʻu ʻe ono ko iá. Kae kehe, neongo ʻa hono tapui mo fakatangaʻí, naʻe hanganaki malangaʻi ʻe he faʻahinga mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa e ongoongo lelei ʻo e Puleʻangá. Mei he 1939 ki he 1946, naʻe tāpuakiʻi kinautolu ʻaki ha tupulaki fakaofo ko e peseti ʻe 157. ʻIkai ngata aí, ko honau lēkooti ʻiloa ʻo e anga-tonu lolotonga ʻa e tau ko iá ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻene tokoniʻi ʻa e kakaí ke nau ʻiloʻi ʻa e lotu moʻoní.—Aisea 2:2-4.
17 Ko e meʻakai fakalaumālie ʻoku tokonaki mai ʻe Sihová ʻoku ʻikai ngata pē ʻi heʻene taimi totonú ka ʻoku toe mātuʻaki fakafiemālie foki. Lolotonga ʻa e kau lahi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻangá he taú lolotonga ʻa e Tau II ʻa Māmaní, naʻe tokoniʻi ai ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová ke nau tokangataha ki he meʻa ʻa ia ʻoku mahuʻinga mamaʻo ange ia ʻi honau fakamoʻuí tonu. Naʻe tokoniʻi kinautolu ʻe Sihova ke nau mahinoʻi ko e ʻīsiu tefito, kau ki he ʻunivēsí fakakātoa, ʻoku felāveʻi ia mo e tuʻunga-hau totonu ʻo Sihová. He meʻa fakafiemālie moʻoni ia ke ʻiloʻi ʻi heʻenau mateakí ko e toko taha Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova taki taha naʻe ʻi ai ʻenau kiʻi tafaʻaki ʻi hono fakatonuhiaʻi ʻa e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová pea ʻi hono fakamoʻoniʻi ko e toko taha loi ʻa e Tēvoló! (Palovepi 27:11) ʻI he ʻikai hangē ko Sētané, ʻa ia ʻokú ne lauʻikovi loi ʻa Sihova mo ʻene founga pulé, ko e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa Sihová ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻenau talaki fakahāhā: “Ko e fai totonu ʻa Sihova ʻi hono ʻalunga kotoa.”—Sāme 145:17.
18. Ko e hā ʻa e fakatātā ki muí ni ʻo e meʻakai fakalaumālie ʻa ia ʻoku fakatou taimi totonu mo fakafiemālie lahí?
18 Ko e fakatātā ʻe taha ʻo e meʻakai fakalaumālie fakafiemālié ko e tohi ʻUnuʻunu Ofi kia Sihova, ʻa ia naʻe tukuange mai ʻi he laui teau ʻo e ngaahi Fakataha-Lahi Fakavahe “Kau Fanongonongo Faivelenga ʻo e Puleʻangá” naʻe fai takatakai ʻi he māmaní ʻi he 2002/03. Ko e tohí ni, ʻi hono faʻu ʻe he “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto” pea pulusi ʻe he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová, ʻoku fakahangataha ia ki he ngaahi ʻulungāanga fakaofo ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtuá, ʻo kau ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko ia naʻe lave ki ai ʻi he Sāme 145. Ko e tohi lelei ko ení te ne fakahoko moʻoni ha ngafa mahuʻinga ʻi hono tokoniʻi ʻa e faʻahinga mateaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ʻunuʻunu ke toe ofi ange ai kiate iá.

21 Ko e taimí eni ʻo laka ia ʻi ha toe taimi ki muʻa ke “ui [ai] kiate ia i he mooni” ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku manavahē kia Sihová. ʻOku fiefia ʻa ʻene faʻahinga mateakí ke ngāueʻaki ʻa hono huafá ʻi heʻenau ngaahi lotú pea ʻi he fakamatala ʻoku nau fai ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakatahá. ʻOku nau ngāueʻaki ʻa e huafa fakaʻotuá ʻi heʻenau ngaahi talanoa tāutahá.
