Fakatatau ki he Laó, ko e kinohaʻa mei he fanga monumanu feilaulaú naʻe fiemaʻu ia ke ʻave ki tuʻa ʻapitanga ʻo tutu.

Naʻe haʻu ʻa Sihova ʻi ha fakafofonga ki hono temipalé ʻo fakamaʻa ia ʻi Nīsani 10, 33 T.S. Naʻe hoko ia ʻi he taimi naʻe hū ai ʻa Sīsū ki he temipalé ʻo kapusi ki tuʻa ʻa kinautolu naʻe fakatau mai mo fakatau atu aí.

3:10—Ko hono ʻomai ko ia ʻa e “kotoa ʻo e tukuhau-hongofulu,” pe vahe-hongofulú, ʻokú ne hanga ʻo fakafofongaʻi hono foaki atu hotau kotoá kia Sihova? Naʻe fakapekia ʻa e Lao ʻa Mōsesé ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he pekia ʻa Sīsuú, ko ia ko e vahe hongofulu fekauʻaki mo e paʻangá ʻoku ʻikai ko ha fiemaʻu ia.

Lolotonga ko e tukuhau-hongofulú naʻe ʻomai ia ʻi he taʻu ki he taʻu, ʻoku tau ʻomai ʻe kitautolu hotau kotoá kia Sihova ʻo tā tuʻo taha pē—ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fakatapui ai kiate iá pea fakahāhā ʻetau fakatapuí ʻaki hono fakahoko ʻo e papitaiso ʻi he vaí. Mei he taimi ko iá ʻo faai mai, ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tau maʻú ʻoku ʻa Sihova ia. Kae kehe, ʻokú ne fakaʻatā kitautolu ke tau fili ha konga ʻo e meʻa ʻoku tau maʻú—ko ha vahe-hongofulu fakaefakatātā—ke ngāueʻaki ʻi heʻene ngāué. ʻOku ʻuhinga eni ko e hā pē meʻa ʻoku fakaʻatā ʻe hotau ngaahi tuʻungá pea mo ueʻi ʻe hotau lotó ke tau ngāueʻakí.

4:3—ʻI he founga fē ʻe hanga ai ʻe he kau lotu ʻa Sihová ʻo “malaki ʻa e kau angahala”? Heʻikai fakahoko moʻoni ʻe he kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he māmaní hono “malaki ʻa e kau angahala,” ʻa ia, ke nau kau ʻi hono fakahoko ʻene fakamaau kia kinautolú.

4:4—Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau “manatu ki he Lao ʻa Mosese”? Ko e Lao ko iá ʻoku ʻikai haʻisia ki ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ia, neongo naʻe hoko ia ko e “ʻata pe ʻo e ngaahi lelei ka hoko.” (Hepelu 10:1) Ko ia ai, ko e tokanga ki he Lao ʻa Mōsesé ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke tau sio ki he anga hono fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hiki aí.

Ngaahi Lēsoni kia Kitautolu:
3:10. Ka ʻikai foaki kia Sihova ʻetau lelei tahá ko e toʻo ia ʻene tāpuakí.

Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻi ha tuʻunga fua fatongia ʻi he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ʻoku totonu ke nau hoko ko e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei.—1 Pita 5:1-3.

“Manavahe ki he Otua”
Ko hai ʻe fakahaofi ʻi he “ʻAho ʻo Sihova, ʻa e ʻaho lahi mo fakalilifu”?
