Ko e Falala Kakato kia Sihová ʻOkú Ne Fakatupunga ʻa e Tuipau
“ʻOku ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻo kau ka tangi kiate ia.”—SĀME 4:3.
1, 2. (a) Ko e hā e tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ne fehangahangai mo Tēvitá? (e) Ko e ongo saame fē te tau lāulea ki aí?
KUO pule ʻa Tuʻi Tēvita ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi ha taimi, ka ʻokú ne fehangahangai he taimi ko ení mo ha tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki. Ko hono foha faʻufaʻufono ko ʻApisalomé kuó ne ʻosi fanongonongo ko ia e tuʻí, pea kuo fakamālohiʻi ʻa Tēvita ke mavahe mei Selusalema. Kuo toe lavakiʻi foki ia ʻe hano tokotaha faleʻi, pea he taimi ní, ʻi he fakafeʻao kiate ia ha faʻahinga mateaki tokosiʻi, ʻokú ne ʻalu hake tangi mo taʻesū ʻi he Moʻunga ʻŌlivé. ʻIkai ngata aí, ko Simi, ʻa ia ʻoku kau ki ha fāmili ʻi he fale ʻo Tuʻi Saulá, ʻokú ne tolo ʻa Tēvita ʻaki ʻa e maka mo e efu mo kape kiate ia.—2 Sam. 15:30, 31; 16:5-14.
2 ʻE hanga ʻe he meʻa fakamamahi ko ení ʻo ʻohifo ʻa Tēvita ki faʻitoka he mamahi mo e mā? ʻIkai, he ʻokú ne falala kia Sihova. ʻOku hā mahino eni ʻi he Sāme hono 3 naʻe faʻu ʻe Tēvita fekauʻaki mo ʻene holá. Naʻá ne toe tohi foki mo hono 4 ʻo e Sāmé. Ko e ongo faʻu fakatouʻosi ko ení ʻoku fakahāhā ai e tuipau ʻoku ongoʻi mo tali ʻe he ʻOtuá e ngaahi lotú. (Sāme 3:4; 4:3) Ko e ongo saame ko ení ʻoku fakapapauʻi mai ai ʻoku feʻao ʻa Sihova mo ʻene kau sevāniti faitōnungá he ʻaho mo e pō, ʻo tāpuakiʻi kinautolu ʻaki ʻene tokoniʻi pea pehē ki he nonga mo ha ongoʻi malu. (Sāme 3:5, PM; 4:8) Ko ia ai, tau lāulea ki he ongo saame ko ení pea sio ai ki he anga ʻena fakatupunga e tuipau pea pouaki e falala ki he ʻOtuá.
Taimi ʻe ‘Tokolahi Ai ʻa e Kakai ʻOku Tuʻu Mai kia Kitautolú’
3. Hangē ko ia ʻoku fakahaaʻi he Sāme 3:1, 2, ko e hā e tuʻunga ne ʻi ai ʻa Tēvitá?
3 “Kuo muimui ae loto oe kau tagata o Isileli kia Abisalomi,” ko e lau ia ʻa ha talafekau. (2 Sam. 15:13, PM) ʻI he fifili ki he founga kuo malava ai ʻe ʻApisalome ʻo fakatuipauʻi ha kakai ki ha poupou peheé, ʻoku ʻeke ʻe Tēvita: “ʻEiki, hono ʻikai tokolahi hoku ngaahi fili! Tokolahi ʻa e kakai ʻoku tuʻu mai! Tokolahi ʻoku lea ki hoku laumalie ni, ʻe ʻikai hano tokoni meia Elohimi!” (Sāme 3:1, 2) ʻOku fakakaukau e kau ʻIsileli tokolahi heʻikai fakahaofi ʻe Sihova ʻa Tēvita mei he fakatamaki he nima ʻo ʻApisalome mo hono ngaahi takangá.
4, 5. (a) Naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Tēvita ʻa e hā? (e) Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻo e lea “hikiʻanga ʻo hoku ʻulu”?
4 Ka ʻoku tuipau ʻa Tēvita koeʻuhí ʻokú ne falala kakato ki he ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ne hiva: “Ka ko koe, ʻEiki, ko e fakaū [‘pā,’ “NW”] ʻo takatakai au; ko hoku langilangi mo e hikiʻanga ʻo hoku ʻulu.” (Sāme 3:3) ʻOku fakapapauʻi ʻe Tēvita ʻe maluʻi ia ʻe Sihova hangē pē ko hono maluʻi ʻe ha pā ha sōtia. ʻIo, ko e tuʻi taʻumotuʻá ʻoku hola, ʻokú ne pūlou mo ʻalu punopunou ʻi he mā. Ka ko e Fungani Māʻolungá te ne liliu e tuʻunga ʻo Tēvitá ki he tuʻunga lāngilangiʻia. ʻE ʻai ia ʻe Sihova ke ne tuʻu hangatonu, ke hiki hake hono ʻulú ʻo toe ʻalu tuʻu tonu. ʻOku ui ʻa Tēvita fakataha mo e tuipau ʻe tali mai ia ʻe he ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ke fakahāhā ha falala pehē kia Sihova?
5 ʻI he kupuʻi lea “hikiʻanga ʻo hoku ʻulu,” ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻe Tēvita ko e tokoni ʻokú ne ʻamanekina ke maʻú ko e haʻu meia Sihova. ʻOku pehē ʻi he Today’s English Version: “Ka ko koe, ʻE ʻEIKI, ʻokú ke hoko maʻu pē ko hoku pā mei he fakatuʻutāmakí; ʻokú ke ʻomai kiate au ʻa e ikuna pea fakafoki mai ʻeku loto-toʻá.” ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e kupuʻi lea “hikiʻanga ʻo hoku ʻulu,” ʻoku pehē ʻe ha maʻuʻanga fakamatala: “ʻI he taimi ʻoku hiki hake ai ʻe he ʻOtuá . . . e ‘ʻulu’ ʻo ha taha, ʻokú Ne fakafonu e tokotahá ʻaki e ʻamanaki mo e tuipau.” ʻI hono fakamālohiʻi ke mavahe mei he taloni ʻo ʻIsilelí, naʻe maʻu ʻe Tēvita ha ʻuhinga ke loto-siʻi ai. Kae kehe, ‘ko e hiki ʻo hono ʻulú’ ʻe iku ia ki he fakafoʻou e loto-toʻá, tuipaú, mo e falala kakato ki he ʻOtuá.
ʻE ‘Tali ʻe Sihova!’
6. Ko e hā ne fakahaaʻi ai ʻe Tēvita ʻoku tali mai ʻene lotú mei he moʻunga tapu ʻo Sihová?
6 ʻI he falala kia Sihova pea fonu he tuipaú, ʻoku hoko atu ʻa Tēvita: “Ko hoku leʻo ni ʻoku ou tangi ʻaki kia Sihova, pea ʻoku ne tali au mei hono moʻunga tapu na.” (Sāme 3:4) ʻI he fai ki he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Tēvitá, ko e puha ʻo e fuakavá, ʻokú ne fakatātaaʻi e ʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtuá, kuo ʻave ia ki Moʻunga Saione. (Lau ʻa e 2 Samiuela 15:23-25.) ʻOku feʻungamālie leva e fakahaaʻi ʻe Tēvita ʻoku tali mai ʻene lotú mei he moʻunga tapu ʻo Sihová.
7. Ko e hā ne ʻikai hokosia ai ʻe Tēvita ha tetekí?
7 ʻI he fakapapauʻi heʻikai kulanoa e lotu ki he ʻOtuá, ʻoku ʻikai hokosia ʻe Tēvita ha teteki. ʻI hono kehé, ʻokú ne hiva: “Neu tokoto hifo o mohe; beau a hake; he ko Jihova naa ne tokoniʻi au.” (Sāme 3:5, PM) Naʻa mo e ʻi he poʻulí, ʻa ia ʻoku lahi taha ai e fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e ʻohofi fakafokifaá, ʻoku ʻikai ilifia ʻa Tēvita ke mohe. ʻOkú ne fakapapauʻi te ne ʻā hake, he ko e ngaahi meʻa kuó ne hokosia he kuohilí kuó ne ʻai ia ke ne tuipau fakaʻaufuli ʻe lava ke ne falala ki he poupou moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻE pehē pē mo kitautolu kapau ʻoku tau pipiki ki he “ngaahi ʻalunga ʻo Sihova” pea ʻikai ʻaupito mavahe meiate ia.—Lau ʻa e 2 Samiuela 22:21, 22.
8. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe he Sāme 27:1-4 ne falala ʻa Tēvita ki he ʻOtuá?
8 Ko e tuipau ʻa Tēvita mo e falala kakato ki he ʻOtuá ʻoku hā mahino ia ʻi haʻane toe saame ʻe taha, ko e saame ʻoku ʻi ai e lea fakamānavaʻi ko ení: “Ko Sihova ʻa hoku māma mo hoku fakamoʻui; te u manavahe kia hai? Ko Sihova ʻa e kolo o ʻeku moʻui; ko hai te u teteki ki ai? . . . Neongo ʻe nofoʻi mai ha kongakau, ko hoku loto ʻe ʻikai manavahe: . . . Kuo u kole meia Sihova ha meʻa pe taha, ko ia pe te u kumi ki ai; ke u nofo ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻaho kotoa o ʻeku moʻui, ke siofi ʻa e fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo e ʻEiki, mo fakalaulauloto ʻi hono palasi” pe temipalé. (Sāme 27:1-4) Kapau ʻokú ke maʻu e ongoʻi ko iá pea ʻoku fakaʻatā koe ʻi ho ngaahi tuʻungá, te ke fakataha maʻu pē mo e kaungālotu kia Sihová.—Hep. 10:23-25.
9, 10. Neongo e ngaahi lea ʻo e Sāme 3:6, 7, ko e hā te ke pehē ai ne ʻikai maʻu ʻe Tēvita ha laumālie sāuní?
9 Neongo ʻoku fehangahangai ʻa Tēvita mo e lavaki ʻa ʻApisalomé pea mo e taʻemateaki e niʻihi mātuʻaki tokolahi kehe, ʻokú ne hiva: “ʻE ʻikai te u manavahe ki ha manoʻi kakai, neongo ʻenau kapui au takatakai. ʻE Sihova, ke ke tuʻu hake; tokoni mai, hoku ʻOtua e! He kuo ke taaʻi kouʻahe hoku fili fuape; kuo ke laiki ʻa e nifo ʻo e fakaʻotuamate.”—Sāme 3:6, 7.
10 ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ʻe Tēvita ha laumālie sāuni. Kapau ko hono ngaahi filí naʻe fiemaʻu ke ‘taaʻi honau kouʻahé,’ ko e ʻOtuá te ne fai iá. Kuo hiki ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita ha tatau fakafoʻituitui ʻo e Laó peá ne ʻiloʻi ʻoku talaki ai ʻe Sihova: “ʻOku aʻaku ʻa e sauni, mo e ʻatu hono tuha.” (Teu. 17:14, 15, 18; 32:35) Ko e toe meʻa foki ia ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ne “laiki ʻa e nifo ʻo e fakaʻotuamate.” Ko hono laiki honau nifó ʻoku ʻuhingá ko hono ʻai ke ʻikai hanau mālohi ke fai ha maumau. ʻOku ʻafioʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau fakaʻotuamaté koeʻuhí ‘ʻokú ne sio ki he lotó.’ (1 Sam. 16:7) He houngaʻia ē ko kitautolu ʻi hono ʻomai ʻe he ʻOtuá e tui mo e mālohi ke tuʻumaʻu ʻo fakafepakiʻi ʻa e tokotaha fulikivanu tefitó, ʻa Sētane, ʻa ia kuo vavé ni ke tuku ki he luó ʻo hangē ko ha laione ngungulu ka kuo ʻosi e nifó ʻo feʻunga pē ki he fakaʻauha!—1 Pita 5:8, 9; Fkh. 20:1, 2, 7-10.
“Oku Ia Jihova ae Fakamoui”
11. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau lotu maʻá e kaungātuí?
11 ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe Tēvita ko Sihova pē taha ʻe lava ke ne fakahoko e fakahaofi ʻokú ne mātuʻaki fiemaʻu vavalé. Ka ko e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé ʻoku ʻikai te ne fakakaukau kiate ia pē. Fēfē ʻa e kakai ʻofeina ʻa Sihová fakalūkufua? ʻOku feʻungamālie hono fakaʻosi ʻe Tēvita ʻene faʻu fakamānavaʻí ʻaki e lea: “Oku ia Jihova ae fakamoui: ko hoo tabuaki oku i hoo kakai.” (Sāme 3:8, PM) Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tuʻu moʻunga e ngaahi palopalema ʻa Tēvitá, ka ʻokú ne fakakaukau ki he kakai ʻa Sihová fakalūkufua pea ʻokú ne tuipau ʻe tāpuakiʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá. ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke tau fakakaukau foki mo kitautolu ki hotau kaungātuí? Tau manatuʻi kinautolu ʻi heʻetau lotú, ʻo kole kia Sihova ke ne ʻoange kia kinautolu hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní koeʻuhí ke nau lava ai ʻo maʻu e loto-toʻa pea lava ke nau ngāue fakataha mo e tuipau ʻi hono talaki e ongoongo leleí.—Ef. 6:17-20.
12, 13. Ko e hā ne hoko kia ʻApisalomé, pea ne anga-fēfē e fakafeangai ʻa Tēvitá?
12 Ko e moʻui ʻa ʻApisalomé naʻe ngata ʻi he tuʻunga ʻikai lāngilangiʻia—ko ha fakatokanga ia ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau ngaohikoviʻi e niʻihi kehé, tautefito ki he faʻahinga pani ʻa e ʻOtuá, hangē ko Tēvitá. (Lau ʻa e Palovepi 3:31-35.) ʻOku hoko ha tau, pea ʻoku ʻulungia e ngaahi kongakau ʻa ʻApisalomé. Ko ʻApisalome tonu ʻokú ne heka ʻi ha miuli ʻo fihia hono louʻulu matolú ʻi he manga ʻo e vaʻa ʻo ha fuʻu ʻoke. ʻOkú ne tautau ai—ʻo moʻui kae ʻikai toe lava ha meʻa—pea toki ʻalu atu ʻa Sioape ʻo tāmateʻi ia ʻaki hono tuiʻiʻaki ha tao ʻe tolu hono mafú.—2 Sam. 18:6-17, PM.
13 ʻOku fiefia ʻa Tēvita ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa kuo hoko ki hono fohá? ʻIkai. ʻI hono kehé ʻokú ne felueʻaki, ʻo tangi, mo kalanga: “ʻE hoku foha ko Apisalome, hoku foha, hoku foha ko Apisalome! taumaiā ne u mate au ko ho fetongi, ʻe Apisalome, hoku foha, hoku foha!” (2 Sam. 18:24-33) Ko e ngaahi lea pē ʻa Sioapé naʻe toki fakafokifoki mai ai ʻa Tēvita mei he mamahi ne meimei lōmekina ai iá. He ikuʻanga fakamamahi moʻoni ē kia ʻApisalomé, ʻa ia ko ʻene sio tuʻunga kuikuí naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ai ia ke ne tauʻi ʻene tamaí tonu—ʻa e pani ʻa Sihová—pea ʻomai ai e fakatamaki kiate ia tonu!—2 Sam. 19:1-8; Pal. 12:21; 24:21, 22.
Toe Fakahāhā ʻe Tēvita e Falala ki he ʻOtuá
14. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke leaʻaki fekauʻaki mo e faʻu ʻo e Sāme 4?
14 ʻI he hangē ko e Sāme hono 3, ko hono 4 ko ha lotu fakamātoato ia ʻa Tēvita ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻene falala kakato kia Sihová. (Sāme 3:4; 4:3) Mahalo pē naʻe faʻu ʻe Tēvita ʻa e hiva ko ení ke fakahaaʻi ai ʻene fiemālie mo e houngaʻia ʻi he ʻOtuá hili e taʻelavameʻa ʻa e faʻahi angatuʻu ʻa ʻApisalomé. Pe naʻe tohi nai ia fakataha mo e fakakaukau ki he kau hiva Līvaí. Ko e hā pē tuʻungá, ko e fakalaulauloto ki aí ʻe lava ke mālohi ai ʻetau falala kia Sihová.
15. Ko e hā ʻe lava ai ke tau lotu ʻi he tuipau kia Sihova fakafou hono ʻAló?
15 Naʻe toe fakahaaʻi ʻe Tēvita ʻa e falala kakato ki he ʻOtuá pea fakahāhā e tuipau ki he ola lelei ʻene lotú. ʻOkú ne hiva: ‘ʻI heʻeku uí, ʻomai ha tali kiate au, ʻe hoku ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni. ʻI he mamahí kuo pau ke ke ʻomai ha haoʻanga kiate au. Fakahaaʻi kiate au ʻa e ʻofa pea fanongo ki heʻeku lotú.’ (Sāme 4:1, NW) ʻE lava ke tau maʻu e tuipau meimei tatau kapau ʻoku tau fai māʻoniʻoni. ʻI he lāuʻilo ko Sihova, ʻa e “ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni,” ʻokú ne tāpuakiʻi hono kakai faitotonú, ʻe lava ke tau lotu ʻi he tuipau kiate ia fakafou hono ʻAló fakataha mo e tui ki he feilaulau huhuʻi ʻa Sīsuú. (Sione 3:16, 36) He nonga moʻoni ē ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he meʻá ni kia kitautolú!
16. Ko e hā nai ne hoko ai ʻa Tēvita ʻo loto-siʻí?
16 ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, te tau fehangahangai nai ai mo ha tuʻunga fakalotosiʻi ʻa ia ʻokú ne kaihaʻasi ʻetau tuipaú. ʻI he tuʻunga fakataimi, naʻe hoko nai eni kia Tēvita, he ʻokú ne hiva: “Ae gaahi foha oe tagata, e gata afe hoo mou liliu hoku nāunāu koe mea fakama? e gata afe hoo mou ofa ki he mea vaiga be, o kumi ki he loi?” (Sāme 4:2, PM) Ko e kupuʻi lea “gaahi foha oe tagata” ʻoku hā mahino ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi ha ʻuhinga ʻikai lelei. Ko e ngaahi fili ʻo Tēvitá naʻa nau “ofa ki he mea vaiga.” ʻOku ʻomai ʻe he New International Version ʻa e fakalea ko ení: “Ko futu hoʻomou ʻofa ki he ngaahi meʻa fakahalá pea kumi ki he ngaahi ʻotua loí?” Neongo kapau te tau hoko ʻo loto-siʻi koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻoku fai ʻe he niʻihi kehé, tau hokohoko atu e lotu fakamātoató pea fakahāhā e falala kakato ki he ʻOtua moʻoni pē tahá.
17. Fakamatalaʻi e founga te tau ngāue nai ai ʻo fehoanaki mo e Sāme 4:3.
17 Ko e falala ʻa Tēvita ki he ʻOtuá ʻoku mahino ia mei he lea: “Ka mou ʻilo kuo vaheʻi moʻona ʻe Sihova ʻene ʻofeina [‘tokotaha mateakí,’ “NW”]; ʻoku ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ʻo kau ka tangi kiate ia.” (Sāme 4:3) Ko e loto-toʻa mo e falala kakato kia Sihová ʻoku fiemaʻu ia koeʻuhí ke mateaki ai pē kiate ia. Hangē ko ení, ko e ongo ʻulungaangá ni ʻoku fiemaʻu ia ʻe ha fāmili Kalisitiane he taimi ʻoku tuʻusi ai ha kāinga taʻefakatomala. ʻOku fakalāngilangiʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá e faʻahinga ʻoku mateaki kiate ia mo ʻene ngaahi foungá. ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ko e mateaki mo e falala kakato kia Sihová ʻoku pouaki ai e fiefia he lotolotonga hono kakaí.—Sāme 84:11, 12.
18. ʻI he fehoanaki mo e Sāme 4:4, ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke tau fai kapau ʻoku fai mai kia kitautolu ha ngaahi lea pe tōʻonga taʻeʻofa?
18 Fēfē kapau ʻe leaʻaki pe fai ʻe ha taha e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakalotomamahiʻi ai kitautolu? ʻE lava ke tau fiefia ai pē kapau ʻoku tau fai e meʻa ʻoku leaʻaki ʻe Tēvitá: “Mou tetetete, ʻo ʻouae faihala. Fakalaulauloto [‘leaʻaki ʻi homou lotó,’ “NW”] ʻi homou mohenga ʻouae lea.” (Sāme 4:4) Kapau kuo fai mai kia kitautolu ha lea pe tōʻonga taʻeʻofa, ʻoua te tau faiangahala ʻaki ha faisāuni. (Loma 12:17-19) ʻE lava ke tau leaʻaki ʻi hotau lotó lolotonga ʻetau ʻi hotau mohengá. Kapau ʻoku tau lotu fekauʻaki mo ia, te tau sio nai ki ai ʻi ha tafaʻaki kehe pea ueʻi ai kitautolu ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻi he ʻofa. (1 Pita 4:8) ʻOku taau ke fakatokangaʻi he meʻá ni e akonaki ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá, ngalingali naʻe makatuʻunga ʻi he Sāme 4:4: “ʻIta pe, kae ʻoua ʻe angahala ai: ʻoua ʻe tuku ke to ʻa e laʻa ʻoku mou kei mamahi; kaeʻumaʻā, ʻoua naʻa tuku ha ava ki he Tevolo.”—Ef. 4:26, 27.
19. ʻE lava fēfē ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he Sāme 4:5 ʻi he fekauʻaki mo ʻetau feilaulau fakalaumālié?
19 ʻI hono fakamamafaʻi e fiemaʻu ke falala ki he ʻOtuá, ʻoku hiva ʻa Tēvita: “ʻAtu ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau fakatonuhia, pea tuʻu hoʻomou falala kia Sihova.” (Sāme 4:5) Ko e ngaahi feilaulau ne fai ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí naʻe ʻaongá pē kapau ne ʻi ai ha fakaueʻiloto totonu ʻa e kakaí. (Ai. 1:11-17) Ke hoko ʻetau feilaulau fakalaumālié ʻo ala tali ʻe he ʻOtuá, ko kitautolu foki kuo pau ke tau maʻu e fakaueʻiloto totonu pea kuo pau ke tau falala kakato kiate ia.—Lau ʻa e Palovepi 3:5, 6; Hepelu 13:15, 16.
20. Ko e hā ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he ‘maama ʻo e fofonga ʻo Sihová’?
20 ʻOku hoko atu ʻa Tēvita: “ʻOku lau ʻe he tokolahi, ko hai te ne fakaʻilo mai [ha] lelei? Hiki hake mai koe, ʻe Sihova, ʻa e maama ʻo ho fofonga!” (Sāme 4:6) Ko e ‘maama ʻo e fofonga ʻo Sihová’ ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai e hōifua fakaʻotuá. (Sāme 89:15) Ko ia ʻi he taimi ʻoku lotu ai ʻa Tēvita: ‘Hiki hake ʻa e maama ʻo ho fofongá kia kimautolú,’ ʻokú ne ʻuhingá ke ‘fakahaaʻi mai kia kimautolu ʻa e hōifua.’ Koeʻuhi ʻoku tau falala kia Sihova, ʻoku tau maʻu ʻene hōifuá mo e fiefia lahi ʻi heʻetau fai he tuipau ʻa hono finangaló.
21. Ko e hā ʻoku tau fakapapauʻí kapau ʻoku tau kau kakato ʻi he ngāue utu-taʻu fakalaumālie he ʻaho ní?

Tutui Atu ʻi he Tuipau mo e Falala Kakato ki he ʻOtuá
22. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e Sāme 4:8, naʻe fēfē e kau ʻIsilelí ʻi he taimi naʻa nau tauhi ai e Lao ʻa e ʻOtuá?
22 ʻOku fakaʻosiʻaki ʻe Tēvita e saame ko ení ʻa e lea: “Teu tokoto hifo i he fiemalie [‘nonga,’“NW”], o mohe: he ko koe be, E Jihova, oku ke bule keu nofo lelei” pe malu.” (Sāme 4:8, PM) ʻI he taimi ne tauhi ai ʻe he kau ʻIsilelí e Lao ʻa Sihová, naʻa nau nonga ai ʻiate ia pea ongoʻi malu. Hangē ko ení, ‘ko Siuta mo Isileli naʻa nau nofo fiemalie’ pe malu lolotonga ʻa e pule ʻa Solomoné. (1 Tuʻi 4:25) Ko e faʻahinga ko ia ne falala ki he ʻOtuá naʻa nau maʻu e nonga naʻa mo e ʻi he taimi naʻe fakafili mai ai e ngaahi puleʻanga kaungāʻapí. ʻI he hangē ko Tēvitá, ʻoku tau mohe nonga koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻai kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ke tau ongoʻi malu.

23 Tau tutui atu ʻi he tuipau he ngāue ʻa Sihová. ʻOfa ke tau toe lotu ʻi he tui pea hokosia ai e “nonga ʻa e ʻOtua, ʻa ia ʻoku mamaʻo ʻi he tatae ʻa e ʻatamai kotoa pe.” (Fili. 4:6, 7) He fiefia moʻoni ē ʻoku ʻomai ai kia kitautolú! Pea ʻe lava moʻoni ke tau hanga atu ai ki he kahaʻú mo e tuipau kapau ʻoku tau tauhi maʻu e falala kakato kia Sihova.
