“ʻOku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ha taha ko hai ʻa e Tamaí tuku kehe pē ʻa e ʻAló pea mo ia ʻoku loto-lelei ʻa e ʻAló ke fakaeʻa Ia ki aí.”—LUKE 10:22.
ʻE FĒFĒ HAʻO TALI?
Ko e hā naʻe ʻi ha tuʻunga makehe ai ʻa Sīsū ke ne fakaeʻa ʻene Tamaí?
Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakaeʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene Tamaí ki he niʻihi kehé?
ʻI he ngaahi founga fē ʻe lava ai ke ke faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū ʻi hono fakaeʻa ʻa e Tamaí?
1, 2. Ko e hā ʻa e fehuʻi kuó ne fakapuputuʻuʻi ʻa e tokolahi, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
‘KO HAI ʻa e ʻOtuá?’ Ko e fehuʻi ko ení ʻokú ne fakapuputuʻuʻi ʻa e tokolahi. Hangē ko ení, neongo ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kau Kalisitiane lau peé ʻoku nau tui ko e ʻOtuá ko ha Tolu-Tahaʻi-ʻOtua, ʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he tokolahi ko e tokāteline ko ení ʻoku ʻikai lava ke mahinoʻi. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he faʻutohi ʻe taha pea ko ha faifekau: “Ko ha tokāteline eni ʻoku mahulu atu ia mei he siakale ʻo e ʻatamai fakangatangata ʻo e tangatá. ʻOku ʻi tuʻa ia mei he malaʻe ʻo e fakaʻuhinga totonú pe makupusi ʻe he tangatá.” ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ko e tokolahi taha ʻoku nau tali ʻa e foʻi fakakaukau ʻo e ʻevalūsioó ʻoku nau tui ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha ʻOtua. ʻOku nau taku ko e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻo e fakatupú ko e hokonoa mai pē ia. Neongo ia, ʻi he ʻikai ke fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa e ʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtuá, naʻe pehē ʻe Charles Darwin: “Ko e fakamulituku pau taha ʻoku hā mai kiate aú ko e kaveingá ni fakalūkufua ʻoku mahulu atu ia mei he siakale ʻo e vavanga ʻa e tangatá.”
2 Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kakaí, tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻenau ngaahi tuí, kuo nau fakakaukauloto atu ki he ngaahi fehuʻi fekauʻaki mo e ʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtuá. Kae kehe, ʻi he ʻikai malava ke nau aʻu ki ha fakamulituku fakafiemālié, naʻe faai mai pē ʻo foʻi ʻa e tokolahi ia ʻi heʻenau fekumi ki he ʻOtuá. Ko hono moʻoní, kuo hanga ʻe Sētane ʻo ‘fakakuihi ʻa e ʻatamai ʻo e kau taʻetuí.’ (2 Kol. 4:4) ʻOku ʻikai ha ofo ʻi he hoko ʻa e tokolahi taha ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻo taʻeʻilo mo puputuʻu ʻo kau ki he moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e Tamaí, ʻa e Tokotaha-Fakatupu ʻo e ʻunivēsí!—ʻAi. 45:18.
3. (a) Ko hai kuó ne fakaeʻa mai ʻa e Tokotaha-Fakatupú kiate kitautolú? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi te tau lāulea ki aí?
3 Neongo ia, ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ke ako ʻe he kakaí ʻa e moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e ʻOtuá. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhí ko e faʻahinga pē ʻoku ui “ki he huafa ʻo Sihová” ʻe fakahaofí. (Loma 10:13) Ke ui ki he huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa e hoko ʻo maheni mo Sihova ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha Tokotaha. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ki heʻene kau ākongá ʻa e ʻilo mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ko ení. Naʻá ne fakaeʻa ʻa e Tamaí kiate kinautolu. (Lau ʻa e Luke 10:22.) Ko e hā naʻe malava ai ʻe Sīsū ke ne fakaeʻa ʻa e Tamaí kae ʻikai lava ia ʻe ha toe taha kehé? Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fai ia ʻe Sīsuú? Pea ʻe lava fēfē ke tau faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū ʻi hono fakaeʻa ʻa e Tamaí ki he niʻihi kehé? Tau lāulea angé ki he ngaahi fehuʻí ni.
SĪSŪ KALAISI —NAʻE TAAU MAKEHE
4, 5. Ko e hā naʻe ʻi ha tuʻunga makehe ai ʻa Sīsū ke ne fakaeʻa ʻa ʻene Tamaí?
4 Naʻe tautefito kia Sīsū ʻa e taau ke ne fakaeʻa mai ʻa ʻene Tamaí. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhí ki muʻa ke fakatupu ʻa e ngaahi faʻahinga kehe kotoa ʻo e moʻuí, ko e meʻamoʻui laumālie ko ia naʻe hoko ki mui ko e tangata ko Sīsuú naʻe ʻosi ʻi ai ia ʻi hēvani ʻi he tuʻunga ko e “ʻAlo tofu-pē-taha-ne-fakatupu ʻo e ʻOtuá.” (Sione 1:14; 3:18) Ko ha tuʻunga makehe ē! Lolotonga ʻa e ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha toe meʻamoʻui kehé, naʻe fiefia ʻaupito ʻa e ʻAló ʻi he tokanga ange ʻa ʻene Tamaí pea ako fekauʻaki mo Ia pea mo Hono ngaahi ʻulungāngá. Kuo pau pē naʻe fetuʻutaki lahi ʻa e Tamaí mo e ʻAló pea fakatupulekina ha ʻofa loloto ʻiate kinaua ʻi he ngaahi taimi taʻefaʻalaua. (Sione 5:20; 14:31) He vavanga lahi ē ki he ʻulungaanga ʻo ʻene Tamaí kuo pau naʻe maʻu ʻe he ʻAló!—Lau ʻa e Kolose 1:15-17.
5 Naʻe fili ʻe he Tamaí ʻa e ʻAló ke hoko ko ʻEne tangata-lea, “Ko e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá.” (Fkh. 19:13) Ko ia ai, naʻe ʻi ha tuʻunga makehe ʻa Sīsū ke ne fakaeʻa ʻa e Tamaí ki he niʻihi kehé. ʻOku feʻungamālie, ʻa hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe he tokotaha-tohi Kōsipeli ko Sioné ʻa Sīsū, “ko Folofola,” ʻokú ne “ʻi he fatafata ʻo e Tamaí.” (Sione 1:1, 18) ʻI he kupuʻi lea ko iá, ʻoku lave ai ʻa Sione ki ha tōʻonga naʻe angamaheniʻaki ʻi he ngaahi taimi kaí ʻi hono taimí. ʻE tokoto ha tokotaha ʻaʻahi ʻe taha ʻi muʻa pē ʻi ha tokotaha kehe ʻi he nofoʻanga tatau. ʻI he hoko ʻo vāofi peheé, naʻe malavangofua ai ki he toko ua ko ení ke na fetalanoaʻaki. Ko ia ko e ʻAló, ʻi heʻene “ʻi he fatafata,” naʻá ne fetalanoaʻaki fekoekoeʻi ai mo ʻene Tamaí.
6, 7. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tupulekina ai pē ʻa e vahaʻangatae ʻo e Tamaí mo e ʻAló?
6 Ko e vahaʻangatae ʻo e Tamaí mo e ʻAló naʻe tupulekina ai pē. Ko e ʻAló naʻe “hakailangitau [ai ʻa e ʻOtuá] he ʻaho kotoa pe.” (Lau ʻa e Palōveepi 8:22, 23, 30, 31.) Ko ia, ʻoku ʻuhinga lelei, ko e haʻi ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e toko ua ko ení naʻe hoko ʻo mālohi ange ʻi heʻena ngāue fakatahá pea ʻi he ako ʻa e ʻAló ke faʻifaʻitaki ki he ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo ʻene Tamaí. ʻI hono fakatupu ʻo e ngaahi meʻamoʻui ʻatamai poto kehé, naʻe sio ai ʻa e ʻAló ki he anga ʻo e feangai ʻa Sihova mo e tokotaha taki taha, pea ko hono moʻoní naʻe loloto ange ai ʻene houngaʻia ki he ʻulungaanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.
7 Naʻa mo e pole naʻe fai ʻe Sētane ki mui ki he totonu ʻa e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová naʻe ʻoange ai ki he ʻAló ha faingamālie ke ne ako ai ki he founga ʻe ngāueʻaki ai ʻe Sihova ʻa e ʻofá, fakamaau totonú, potó, mo e mālohí ʻi he taimi naʻá Ne fetaulaki ai mo ha tuʻunga faingataʻa. ʻOku ʻikai ha veiveiua, naʻe teuʻi ʻe he meʻá ni ʻa Sīsū ke fekuki ai mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻa ia naʻá ne fetaulaki mo ia ki mui ʻi heʻene ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi he māmaní.—Sione 5:19.
8. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi fakamatala Kōsipelí ke tau ako ai ʻa e meʻa lahi fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo e Tamaí?
8 Koeʻuhi ko hono vahaʻangatae vāofi mo Sihová, naʻe fakamatalaʻi ai ʻe he ʻAló ʻa e Tamaí ʻi ha fakaikiiki lahi ange ia ʻi ha toe fakaikiiki ne mei malava ke fai ʻe ha toe taha kehe. Ko e hā ha founga lelei ange naʻe mei malava ai kiate kitautolu ke tau hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi ai ʻa e Tamaí ka ko e lāulea ki he meʻa naʻe akoʻi mo fai ʻe hono ʻAlo-tofu-pē-taha-ne-fakatupú? Ke fakatātaaʻi, fakakaukau atu ki hono faingataʻa kiate kitautolu ke tau hoko ʻo mahinoʻi kakato ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e foʻi lea ko e “ʻofa” ʻi hono lau pē ha ʻuhinga mei he tikisinalé. Neongo ia, ʻi he fakakaukau atu ki he ngaahi fakamatala māʻalaʻala ʻa e kau tohi Kōsipelí ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Sīsuú pea mo e ngaahi founga ʻo ʻene tokanga ki he niʻihi kehé, ʻoku lava ke tau maʻu ai ʻa e vavanga lahi ki he kupuʻi lea “ko e ʻOtuá ko e ʻofa.” (1 Sio. 4:8, 16) ʻOku hoko ʻa e meʻa tatau pē ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi ʻulungaanga kehe ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa ia naʻe fakaeʻa ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá he lolotonga ʻa ʻene ʻi māmaní.
FOUNGA NAʻE FAKAEʻA AI ʻE SĪSŪ ʻA ʻENE TAMAÍ
9. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ongo founga tefito ʻe ua naʻe fakaeʻa ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene Tamaí? (e) ʻOmai ha fakatātā ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi ʻa e founga naʻe fakaeʻa ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene Tamaí fakafou ʻi heʻene akonakí.
9 Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakaeʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa e Tamaí ki heʻene kau ākongá pea toe aʻu atu ki hono kau muimui ʻi he kahaʻú? Naʻá ne fai ia ʻi he ongo founga tefito ʻe ua: fakafou ʻi heʻene ngaahi akonakí pea fakafou ʻi hono ʻulungāngá. Tau ʻuluaki lāulea angé ki he ngaahi akonaki ʻa Sīsuú. Ko e meʻa naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sīsū ki hono kau muimuí naʻe tapua mai ai ʻa ʻene vavanga loloto ki he ngaahi fakakaukau, ngaahi ongoʻi, mo e ngaahi founga ʻa ʻene Tamaí. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻe fakatatau ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene Tamaí ki ha tokotaha tokanga ʻoku ʻi ai haʻane tākanga ʻa ia ʻokú ne ʻalu ke kumi ha sipi ʻoku hē. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū ʻi hono maʻu ʻe he tokotahá ni ʻa e sipi molé, “ʻe lahi ange ʻene fiefia aí ʻi heʻene fiefia ʻi he toko hivangofulu-mā-hiva kuo ʻikai heé.” Ko e hā ʻa e kaunga ʻo e talanoa fakatātā ko iá? “Pehē foki,” naʻe fakamatala ʻa Sīsū, “ʻoku ʻikai ko e finangalo ia ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi hēvaní ke ʻauha naʻa mo ha taha ʻo e faʻahinga siʻí ni.” (Māt. 18:12-14) Ko e hā ʻoku lava ke ke ako fekauʻaki mo Sihova mei he talanoa fakatātā ko ení? Neongo kapau ʻokú ke ongoʻi ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku ʻikai te ke loko mahuʻinga pea ʻoku ngalo koe, ʻoku mahuʻingaʻia hoʻo Tamai fakahēvaní ʻiate koe pea ʻokú ne tokanga mai kiate koe. ʻI hono fofongá, ko e taha koe ʻo e “faʻahinga siʻí ni.”
10. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakaeʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene Tamaí fakafou ʻi hono ʻulungāngá tonu?
10 Ko e founga hono ua naʻe fakaeʻa ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e Tamaí ki heʻene kau ākongá naʻe fakafou ia ʻi hono ʻulungāngá. Ko ia ʻi he taimi naʻe kole ai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Filipé kia Sīsū: “Fakahā mai kiate kimautolu ʻa e Tamai,” naʻe malava ʻe Sīsū ke ne lea totonu: “Ko ia kuó ne mātā aú kuó ne mātā foki ʻa e Tamaí.” (Sione 14:8, 9) Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi fakatātā ʻe niʻihi ʻo e founga naʻe fakahāhaaʻi atu ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo ʻene Tamaí. ʻI he taimi naʻe kōlenga ai ha tokotaha kilia kia Sīsū ke fakamoʻui iá, naʻe ala atu ʻa Sīsū ki he tangata naʻe “kāpui ʻe he kiliá” ʻo ne tala ange kiate ia: “ʻOku ou loto ki ai. Ke ke maʻa.” ʻI hono fakamoʻuí, ʻoku ʻikai ha veiveiua naʻe malava ʻa e tokotaha kiliá ke sio ki he toʻukupu ʻo Sihová ʻi he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Sīsuú. (Luke 5:12, 13) Pehē foki, ʻi he taimi naʻe mate ai ʻa Lāsalosí, kuo pau pē naʻe ongoʻi ʻe he kau ākongá ʻa e manavaʻofa ʻa e Tamaí ʻi he taimi naʻe “toʻe [ai ʻa Sīsū] ʻi loto ʻiate ia peá ne hoko ʻo mamahi” peá ne “tangi.” Neongo naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sīsū te ne fokotuʻu hake ʻa Lāsalosi, naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻa e mamahi naʻe hoko ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e fāmili ʻo Lāsalosí mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. (Sione 11:32-35, 40-43) ʻOku ʻikai ha veiveiua ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi fakamatala Fakatohitapu ʻokú ke saiʻia taha ai ʻa ia ʻe fakamafeia ai koe ke ke sio atu ai ki he mohu meesi ʻa e Tamaí ʻa ia naʻe hā atu ʻi he ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo Sīsuú.
11. (a) ʻI he taimi naʻe fakamaʻa ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e temipalé, ko e hā naʻá ne fakaeʻa fekauʻaki mo ʻene Tamaí? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku fakafiemālie ai kia kitautolu ʻa e fakamatala fekauʻaki mo hono fakamaʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa e temipalé?
11 Kae kehe, ko e hā ʻa e fakamulituku ʻokú ke maʻu mei hono fakamaʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa e temipalé? Fakakaukau atu ki he meʻa naʻe hokó: Naʻe ngaohi ʻe Sīsū ha uipi ʻaki ha maea, pea naʻá ne seʻe ʻa e faʻahinga naʻa nau fakatau atu ʻa e fanga pulú mo e fanga sipí. Naʻá ne fakamovetevete ʻa e ngaahi koini ʻa e kau fakafetongi paʻangá pea fulihi mo ʻenau ngaahi tēpilé. (Sione 2:13-17) Ko e foʻi ngāue mālohi ko iá naʻe ʻai ai ʻa e kau ākongá ke nau manatuʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea fakaekikite ʻa Tuʻi Tēvitá: “Ko e mamahiʻi ʻo ho fale kuo kai ʻo ʻosi au.” (Saame 69:9) ʻAki hano fakahoko papau, naʻe fakahaaʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ha holi mālohi ke taukapoʻi ʻa e lotu moʻoní. ʻOkú ke sio ʻi he fakamatala ko iá ki he ʻulungaanga ʻo e Tamaí? ʻOku fakamanatu ai kia kitautolu ʻoku ʻikai ngata pē ʻi hono maʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e mālohi taʻefakangatangata ke tafiʻi atu ʻa e fulikivanú mei he funga māmaní ka ʻoku toe pehē foki ki heʻene holi vēkeveke ke fai pehē. Ko hono fakamatalaʻi ko eni ʻo e fakafeangai mālohi ʻa Sīsū ki he faihalá ʻoku fakaeʻa ai ʻa e anga ʻo e ongoʻi kuo pau ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Tamaí ʻi heʻene vakai ki he fulikivanú ʻa ia ʻoku mafolalahia ʻi he māmani ʻo e ʻaho ní. He fakafiemālie ē kia kitautolu ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fekuki ai mo e ngaahi fakamaau taʻetotonú!
12, 13. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke ke ako fekauʻaki mo Sihova mei he founga ʻo e fakafeangai ʻa Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá?
12 Tau fakakaukau angé ki ha toe fakatātā ʻe taha—ko e founga ʻo e fakafeangai ʻa Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá. Naʻa nau toutou fakakikihi fekauʻaki pe ko hai naʻe lahi angé. (Mk. 9:33-35; 10:43; Luke 9:46) Mei heʻene maheni fuoloa mo e Tamaí, naʻe ʻiloʻi ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e anga ʻo e ongoʻi ʻa Sihova fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi hehema pōlepole peheé. (2 Sām. 22:28; Saame 138:6) ʻIkai ko ia pē, naʻe sio ʻa Sīsū ki hono fakahāhā ʻa e ngaahi hehema peheé ʻe Sētane ko e Tēvoló. Ko e faʻahinga tāutaha pōlepole ko iá naʻa nau tokanga lahi fekauʻaki mo e tuʻu-ki-muʻá mo e tuʻungá. Ko ia ai, he fakalotomamahi ē kuo pau naʻe hoko kia Sīsū ʻi heʻene vakai ki ha fakakaukau sio tuʻunga pehē ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e kau ākonga naʻá ne akoʻí!

(Luke 22:24-27) Neongo ia, naʻe hanganaki valokiʻi ʻe Sīsū kinautolu ʻi he anga-lelei, ʻo ʻikai ʻaupito mole meiate ia ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻe faifai atu pē te nau ako ke faʻifaʻitaki ki heʻene fakakaukau fakaeʻatamai anga-fakatōkilalo ʻaʻaná.—Fil. 2:5-8.
13 ʻE lava ke ke sio ki he toʻukupu ʻo e Tamaí ʻi he founga naʻe fakatonutonu anga-kātaki ai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi hehema fehālaaki ʻa ʻene kau ākongá? ʻOkú ke sio ki he Tamaí ʻi he ngaahi meʻa naʻe fai mo e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne liʻaki hono kakaí neongo ʻenau faʻa tōnounoú? ʻI he tauhi maʻu ʻi he fakakaukaú ʻa hono ʻiloʻi ko ia ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻikai ʻoku ueʻi ai kitautolu ke tau fakaofiofi kiate ia ke fakahaaʻi ʻetau fakatomalá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fai ai ʻa e ngaahi fehālākí?

14. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahaaʻi ʻe Sīsū naʻá ne loto-lelei ke fakaeʻa ʻene Tamaí?
14 ʻOku feinga ʻa e kau tikitato tokolahi ke hanganaki puleʻi ʻa e kakaí pea ʻai ke ʻoua te nau ʻilo ki ha meʻa ʻaki hono taʻofi ha ngaahi fakamatala meiate kinautolu. ʻI hono kehé naʻe loto-lelei ʻa Sīsū ke vahevahe ʻa e fakamatala naʻá ne maʻu fekauʻaki mo e Tamaí, ʻo fakaeʻa kakato atu Ia ki he niʻihi kehé. (Lau ʻa e Mātiu 11:27.) Tānaki atu ki aí, naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá ʻa e “vavanga fakaefakakaukau koeʻuhi ke [nau malava ʻo] maʻu ai ʻa e ʻilo ki he tokotaha ʻoku moʻoní,” ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá.

15 Naʻe fakaeʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻá ne ʻilo fekauʻaki mo ʻene Tamaí? ʻIkai, naʻá ne taʻofi fakapotopoto ʻa hono fakahaaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lahi naʻá ne ʻiló. (Lau ʻa e Sione 16:12.) Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhí ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ko ʻene kau ākongá naʻe ‘ʻikai malava ke nau makupusi’ ʻa e ʻilo peheé. Neongo ia, hangē ko ia naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Sīsuú ko ha ʻilo lahi ʻe toki fakaeʻa ia ʻi he aʻu mai ʻa e “tokoní,” ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ʻa ia te ne tataki kinautolu “ki he kotoa ʻo e moʻoní.” (Sione 16:7, 13) Hangē pē ko ha ongo mātuʻa fakapotopoto ʻokú na taʻofi nai ha ngaahi fakamatala mei heʻena fānaú kae ʻoua kuo lalahi feʻunga ʻa e fānaú ke nau mahinoʻí, naʻe pehē pē ʻa e tatali ʻa Sīsū kae ʻoua ke hoko ʻa e kau ākongá ʻo matuʻotuʻa pea malava ke nau mahinoʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoniʻi meʻa pau fekauʻaki mo e Tamaí. Naʻe fakakaukauʻi lelei ʻe Sīsū ʻa honau ngaahi ngātangá.
