19. Ko e hā ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ai ke faʻifaʻitaki ki he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsuú?
19 Ko e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí te ne fakahohaʻasi moʻoni kitautolu, ka ʻoku ʻikai tonu ke ne takiheeʻi ai kitautolu mei he lova ki he moʻui taʻengatá. Manatuʻi ʻoku lava ʻe Sihova ke fakahaofi kitautolu mei he ʻahiʻahí. ʻI heʻetau “huʻihuʻi ʻa e fakamamafa kotoa pe,” pea “tau k[ā]taki atu ʻetau lele he fakapuepue kuo tala humaki mai,” tau “sio fakamamaʻu atu ki he Takimuʻa ʻi he tui mo hono Fakaaʻu, ʻio, ʻa Sisu.” (Hepelu 12:1-3) Ko hono sivisiviʻi fakalelei ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsuú pea feinga ke faʻifaʻitaki kiate ia ʻi he leá mo e ngāué te ne tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke fakatupulekina ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá pea fakahāhā ia ʻi ha tuʻunga lahi ange.
20. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi pale ko e maʻu mei he tuli ki he kātakí mo e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá?
20 Ko e kātakí mo e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá ʻokú na ngāue fakataha ʻi hono tokoniʻi ke fakapapauʻi ʻa hotau fakamoʻuí. ʻI hono fakahāhā ʻa e ongo ʻulungaanga mahuʻinga ko ení, ʻe lava ke tau hokohoko faitōnunga atu ai ʻi heʻetau ngāue toputapu ki he ʻOtuá. Naʻa mo e ʻi he malumalu ʻo e ʻahiʻahí, ko e fiefiá ʻe ʻotautolu ia ʻi heʻetau hokosia ko ia ʻa e ʻofa ongongofua mo e tāpuaki ʻa Sihová koeʻuhi kuo tau kātaki pea ʻoku tau tōʻongaʻaki ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá. (Semisi 5:11) ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻoku fakapapauʻi mai ʻe Sīsū tonu kia kitautolu: “ʻI hoʻomou k[ā]taki te mou maʻu mai homou laumalie.”—Luke 21:19.
