TAIMI nounou ki muʻa ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake ki hēvaní, naʻe ʻoange ai ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá ha ngāue ke fai. Naʻá ne tala ange kia kinautolu: “Mou . . . ngaohi ʻa e ngāhi kakai kotoa pe ko ʻeku kau ako, ʻi he papitaiso kinautolu ki he Huafa ʻo e Tamai mo e ʻAlo mo e Laumalie Maʻoniʻoni.” (Mātiu 28:19) Ko ha ngāue lahi fakaʻulia moʻoni ē!

Naʻa nau tui mālohi naʻa nau moʻui ʻi he “kuonga fakamui” pea naʻa nau lāuʻilo fekauʻaki mo e kikite ʻa Sīsuú: “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.” (2 Timote 3:1; Mātiu 24:14) ʻIo, naʻa nau ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ngāue lahi ke fai.

Naʻe malava fēfē ke nau malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí “ki mamani katoa”?

(Fakahā 12:17) Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻene talí ʻi he taimi naʻe kamata ai ke hā ʻa e fuʻu kakai lahí? ʻAki ʻa e fakamālohi lahi fakaʻulia! ʻE lava ke tau veiveiua naʻá ne tekemui ʻi he ʻohofi fakaemāmani lahi ʻo e lotu moʻoní ʻa ia naʻe hoko lolotonga ʻa e tau ua ʻa māmaní? ʻI he ongo faʻahi fepakí fakatouʻosi, naʻe hoko ai ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ʻo ʻi he malumalu ʻo ha tenge lahi. Naʻe tofanga ʻa e siʻi fanga tokoua mo e fanga tuofāfine tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi fakalilifu, ʻo mate ai ʻa e niʻihi ki heʻenau tuí. Neongo ia, naʻa nau fakaongo atu ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “ʻIa Elohimi te u polepole ʻi heʻene folofola: ʻia Elohimi te u falala ʻo ʻikai te u ilifia; ʻe lava ha meʻa koā kiate au ʻe haʻa kakano ʻatā?” (Sāme 56:4; Mātiu 10:28) Ko e kau Kalisitiane paní mo e fanga sipi kehé, ʻi hono fakaivimālohiʻi ʻe he laumālie ʻo Sihová, naʻa nau tuʻu mālohi fakataha.
