1 ʻI hono maʻukovia koe ʻe ha afā mālohi, he fakafiemālie lahi ē ka ko e malava ke maʻu ʻa e nofoʻangá! Kapau ʻoku māfana mo malu ʻa loto pea kapau ʻoku anga-talitali kakai ʻa e kau nofo aí, ʻokú ke fiefia ke nofo ai. ʻOku tataki ʻe he ngāue fakamalanga ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻa e kakaí ki ha nofoʻanga pehē ʻo mavahe mei he fokotuʻutuʻu ʻa Sētané. ʻOku lava ʻe hotau ʻulungaanga fakaʻahó ʻo tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau sio ki he ʻuhinga ke nau ʻi he taulangaū malu ai ko ʻení? ʻIo, he naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ko e kakaí te nau ‘mamata ki heʻetau ngāhi ngaue leleí, pea nau fakamālōʻia ʻa ʻetau Tamai ʻoku ʻi Hevaní.’—Mt. 5:16.
2 ʻOku malava fēfē ke tau ʻai ʻetau tōʻongá koeʻuhi ke hanga ai ʻe heʻetau ngaahi ngāué ʻo tohoaki mai ʻa e niʻihi kehé kia Sihova mo ʻene kautahá? ʻAki hono ʻai ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he Luke 6:31 mo e 10:27 ke ne fakafuo ʻetau moʻuí ʻi he ʻaho taki taha. ʻE ueʻi ʻe he meʻá ni kitautolu ke tau fakahāhā ʻa e tokanga anga-ʻofa ki hotau kaungā faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ʻo fakafaikehekeheʻi ai kitautolu mei he māmani loto-momoko mo taʻefietokanga ko ʻení.
3 Naʻe fakatokangaʻi atu ʻe ha tuofefine ʻi ha vaka naʻe folau ai, ha kiʻi fefine naʻe lua lahi ʻo ʻikai malava ai ke ne tokangaʻi ʻa ʻene kiʻi tamá. Naʻe fakalea atu ʻa e tuofefiné ke ne tokangaʻi ʻa e kiʻi tamá. ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻeke ange ai ʻe he fefiné pe ʻe anga-fēfē haʻane fakahaaʻi ʻa ʻene houngaʻia kiate iá, naʻe pehē ange ʻe he tuofefiné: ‘Kātaki ʻo fanongo ki he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻi he taimi hono hoko te nau ʻaʻahi atu aí.’ Naʻe fai pehē ʻa e fefiné, pea ʻi he taimí ni ko ia mo hono husepānití ko e ongo Fakamoʻoni. Naʻe ʻai ʻe he ngaahi ngāue leleí ke kehe ʻa e founga ʻo ʻena tali ki he pōpoaki ʻo e Puleʻangá.
4 ʻOku Kau ki Ai ʻa ʻEtau Moʻuí Fakakātoa: Ko hotau ʻulungaanga ʻi he nofo fakakaungāʻapí, lolotonga ʻo e ʻi he ngāué pe ʻi he ʻapiakó, pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi vahaʻa taimi ʻo e fakafiefiá ʻokú ne fakatupunga ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau fakatupu ha fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo kitautolu pea mo ʻetau lotú. Ko ia ai, ʻoku lelei ke tau ʻeke hifo kiate kitautolu: ‘ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau sio mai kiate au mo hoku fāmilí? ʻOku vakai mai ʻa e ngaahi kaungāʻapí ki homau falé mo e kongaʻapí ʻoku maʻa mo tauhi lelei? ʻOku vakai mai hotau kaungāngāué mo e kaungāakó kiate kitautolu ʻoku tau tauhi-taimi mo tōtōivi? ʻE ʻilo ʻe he niʻihi kehé ʻoku fakanānā mo anga-fakaʻapaʻapa hotau fōtunga hāmaí?’ Ko ʻetau ngaahi ngāue leleí ʻoku malava ke ne ʻai ʻa e lotu kia Sihová ke toe fakamānako ange ki he niʻihi kehé.
5 Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa Pita ʻo pehē ko e kau Kalisitiané te nau tō ki he manukiʻi. (1 Pita 4:4) Kuo pau ke tau fakapapauʻi ke ʻoua ʻe fakatupunga ʻe heʻetau tōʻongá ha talanoa ʻoku ʻikai sai. (1 Pita 2:12) Kapau ʻoku fakalāngilangiʻi ʻe heʻetau ngaahi ngāue fakaʻahó ʻa e ʻOtua ʻoku tau lotu ki aí, te tau hangē leva ko e ngaahi maama ʻoku hiki hake ki ʻolungá, ʻo tohoakiʻi ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé ki he nofoʻanga malu ʻoku tokonaki mai ʻe Sihová.—Mt. 5:14-16.
