“[Ko Mōsese] naʻá ne hokohoko atu tuʻumaʻu ʻi he sio ki he Tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku taʻehāmaí.”—HEPELU 11:27, NW.
1. Ko e hā ʻa e lea fisifisimuʻa fekauʻaki mo e ʻOtuá naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ʻi heʻene Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá?
KO SIHOVÁ ko e ʻOtua taʻehāmai. ʻI he taimi naʻe kole ai ʻa Mōsese ke ne sio ki Hono lāngilangí, naʻe tali ange ʻe Sihova: “ʻE ʻikai te ke lava ke sio ki hoku mata; he ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata te ne sio ki hoku mata, pea moʻui.” (Ekisoto 33:20) Pea naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Sioné: “Ko e meʻa ki he ʻOtua, kuo teʻeki ke mamata ki ai ʻe ha taha ʻi ha taimi.” (Sione 1:18) ʻI he taimi naʻe hoko ai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko ha tangata ʻi he māmaní, naʻa mo ia naʻe ʻikai malava ke ne mamata ki he ʻOtuá. Kae kehe, ʻi heʻene Malanga ʻi he Moʻungá, naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Monūʻiaā ka ko kinautolu ʻoku maʻa honau loto: he te nau mamata ki he ʻOtua.” (Mātiu 5:8) Ko e hā naʻe ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa Sīsuú?
2. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai malava ai ke tau mamata ki he ʻOtuá ʻaki hotau mata fakamatelié?
2 ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú ko Sihová ko ha Laumālie taʻehāmai. (Sione 4:24; Kolose 1:15; 1 Timote 1:17) Ko ia ai, naʻe ʻikai ke pehē ʻe Sīsū ia ko kitautolu faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻe malava ke tau mamata moʻoni kia Sihova ʻaki hotau mata fakamatelié. Ko e moʻoni, ʻe mamata ʻa e kau Kalisitiane paní ia kia Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻi hēvani ʻi he hili hono fokotuʻu hake kinautolu ko e ngaahi meʻamoʻui laumālié. Ka ko e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa ia “ʻoku maʻa honau loto” pea maʻu ʻa e ʻamanaki ʻo e moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmaní ʻoku toe malava ke nau “mamata” ki he ʻOtuá. ʻOku malava fēfē ʻeni?
3. ʻOku malava fēfē ke ʻiloʻi ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo e ʻOtuá?
3 ʻOku tau ako ha meʻa fekauʻaki mo Sihova ʻaki hono siofi fakalelei ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne fakatupú. ʻOku maongo nai kiate kitautolu ʻa hono mālohí pea hoko ʻo ueʻi ai ke lāuʻilo kiate ia ʻi he tuʻunga ko e ʻOtua ko e Tokotaha-Fakatupú. (Hepelu 11:3; Fakahā 4:11) ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni, naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Naʻa mo e ngaahi meʻa [ʻo e ʻOtuá] ʻoku taʻehāmai, ka talu e ngaohi ʻo mamani mo e ha ia, ʻi hono ʻutangiʻi mei he ngaahi meʻa kuo ne ngaohi, ʻio, ʻa hono māfimafi mo hono ʻotua, ʻo fakatou lau itaniti.” (Loma 1:20) Ko ia, ko e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū ʻo fekauʻaki mo e mamata ki he ʻOtuá ʻoku kau ai ʻa e malava ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo Sihová. Ko e mamata peheé ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi he ʻilo totonu pea ʻoku ʻiloʻi fakalaumālie ia ʻaki ‘ʻa e mata ʻo e lotó.’ (Efeso 1:18) Ko e ngaahi lea mo e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Sīsuú ʻokú ne toe fakahaaʻi mai ʻa e meʻa lahi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻOtuá. ʻI he meʻá ni, naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Ko ia kuo ne mātā au, kuo ne mātā ʻa e Tamai.” (Sione 14:9) Naʻe tapua haohaoa mai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ʻulungaanga ʻo Sihová. Ko ia, ko e ʻilo ki he moʻui mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻa Sīsuú ʻoku malava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau mamata, pe ʻiloʻi, ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.
ʻOku Mātuʻaki Mahuʻinga ʻa e Mahino Fakalaumālié
4. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa hono fakahāhā ʻa e siʻi ʻo e mahino fakalumālié ʻe he tokolahi he ʻahó ni?
4 ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku hāhāmolofia moʻoni ai ʻa e tui mo e mahino fakalaumālie moʻoní. “Oku ikai maʻu kotoabe ae tui,” ko e lea ia ʻa Paulá. (2 Tesalonaika 3:2, PM) ʻOku nōfoʻi fakaʻaufuli ʻa e tokolahi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku nau tuli fakafoʻituitui ki aí pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau tui ki he ʻOtuá. ʻOku hanga ʻe honau ʻulungaanga angahalaʻiá mo e siʻi ʻenau mahino fakalaumālié ʻo taʻofi kinautolu mei he mamata kiate ia ʻaki ʻa e mata ʻo e mahinó, he naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Sioné: “Ko ia ʻoku fai kovi kuo teʻeki ke ne mamata ki he ʻOtua.” (3 Sione 11) Koeʻuhi ko e faʻahinga tāutaha peheé ʻoku ʻikai te nau mamata ki he ʻOtuá ʻaki honau mata fakaesinó, ʻoku nau ngāue ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻafio mai ia ki he meʻa ʻoku nau faí. (Isikeli 9:9) ʻOku nau taʻetokaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālié, ko ia ai, ʻoku ʻikai te nau maʻu “ʻa e ʻiloʻi ʻo e ʻOtua.” (Palovepi 2:5) Ko ia, ʻoku feʻungamālie leva ai ʻa e tohi ʻe Paulá: “Ko e tangata ʻoku anga fakakakano ʻoku ʻikai te ne tali ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻo e Laumalie ʻo e ʻOtua: seuke, ko e koto vale ia kiate ia; pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne ala tali, koeʻuhi ʻoku fakalaumalie hono ʻiloʻi.”—1 Kolinito 2:14.
5. Ko e kakai ʻoku fakakaukau fakalaumālié ʻoku nau lāuʻilo ki he moʻoniʻi meʻa ko e hā?
5 Kae kehe, kapau ʻoku tau fakakaukau fakalaumālie, te tau lāuʻilo maʻu pē neongo ko Sihová ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ʻOtua fakasio-hala, ʻokú ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e taimi ʻoku tau ngāue ai ʻi ha ngaahi fakakaukau mo ha ngaahi holi koví. Ko e moʻoni, “oku tokaimaanaga i he ao o Jihova ae gaahi hala oe tagata, bea oku vakai eia a hono gaahi aluaga.” (Palovepi 5:21, PM) Kapau te tau tō ʻi he angahalá, ʻoku ueʻi kitautolu ke tau fakatomala mo kumi ki he fakamolemole ʻa Sihová koeʻuhi ʻoku tau ʻofa ʻiate ia pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau loto ke fakalotomamahiʻi ia.—Sāme 78:41; 130:3.
Ko e Hā ʻOkú Ne ʻAi Kitautolu Ke Tau Tuʻumaʻú?
6. ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e pehē ke tuʻumaʻú?
6 Neongo ʻoku taʻehāmai ʻa Sihova ki hotau matá, ʻai ke tau manatuʻi maʻu pē ʻoku tau hā atu kiate ia. Ko e lāuʻilo ki heʻene ʻi aí pea mo e tuipau ʻokú ne ofi ki he faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku ui kiate iá ʻe tokoni ia ki hono ʻai kitautolu ke tau tuʻumaʻú—ʻo taʻemauea mo taʻeueʻia ʻi heʻetau faitōnunga kiate iá. (Sāme 145:18) ʻOku malava ke tau hangē ko Mōsesé, ʻa ia naʻe tohi ʻa Paula fekauʻaki mo ia: “Ko e tuí naʻá ne liʻaki ai ʻa ʻIsipité, kae ʻikai ko e manavahē ki he houhau ʻa e tuʻí, he naʻá ne hokohoko atu tuʻumaʻu ʻi he sio ki he Tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku taʻehāmaí.”—Hepelu 11:27, NW.
7, 8. Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa tefito naʻe loto-toʻa ai ʻa Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻo Feló?
7 ʻI hono fakahoko ʻa hono ngafa naʻe vaheʻi ange ʻe he ʻOtuá ko hono taki ʻa e kau ʻIsilelí ki tuʻa mei he nofo pōpula ʻi ʻIsipité, naʻe faʻa hā ʻa Mōsese ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo anga-fakaaoaó ʻi ha lotoʻā fakatuʻi naʻe fonu ai ʻa e kau taki fakalotu mo fakakautau. ʻOku hangehangē ko e ngaahi holisi ʻo e palasí naʻe fakaʻotu ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻaitoli. Ka ko Sihova, neongo ʻene taʻehāmaí, naʻe moʻoni ia kia Mōsese, ʻo ʻikai hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaitoli kotoa naʻa nau fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻotua taʻemoʻui ʻo ʻIsipité. ʻOku ʻikai ha ofo ʻi he ʻikai ke ilifia ʻa Mōsese ʻia Feló!
8 Ko e hā naʻá ne ʻoange kia Mōsese ʻa e loto-toʻa ke ne toutou hā ai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Feló? ʻOku tala mai ʻe he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú kiate kitautolu “koe tagata ko Mosese nae agavaivai ia, o lahi hake i he kau tagata kotoabe nae i he fuga o mamani.” (Nomipa 12:3, PM) ʻOku hā mahino, ko ʻene mālohi fakalaumālié mo ʻene tuipau naʻe kau mo ia ʻa e ʻOtuá naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Mōsese ʻa e mālohi naʻe fiemaʻu ke ne fakafofongaʻi ʻaki ʻa e ‘Tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku taʻehāmaí’ ʻi he ʻao ʻo e tuʻi anga-fītaʻa ʻo ʻIsipité. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi founga ʻe niʻihi ʻa ia ʻoku fakahāhaaʻi ai ʻe he faʻahinga ʻoku nau “mamata” ki he ʻOtua taʻehāmaí ʻenau tui kiate iá ʻi he ʻahó ni?
9. Ko e hā ʻa e founga ʻe taha ʻoku malava ke tau hokohoko tuʻumaʻu atu aí?
9 Ko e founga ʻe taha ke fakahāhā ai ʻa e tuí mo e hokohoko atu tuʻumaʻu ʻi he sio ki he Tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku taʻehāmaí ko e malanga loto-toʻa neongo ʻa e fakatangá. Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa Sīsū ki heʻene kau ākongá: “Te mou hoko ko e fehiʻanekina ʻe he kakai kotoa pe koeʻuhi ko e hingoa ʻoʻoku.” (Luke 21:17) Naʻá ne toe tala kiate kinautolu: “ʻOku ʻikai ha tamaioʻeiki ʻe lahi ʻi heʻene ʻeiki. Kapau kuo nau fakatangaʻi au, te nau fakatangaʻi ʻa kimoutolu foki.” (Sione 15:20) ʻI he moʻoni ʻo e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú, ʻi he hili atu pē ʻene pekiá, naʻe tofanga hono kau muimuí ʻi he fakatangá ʻi he tuʻunga ʻo e ngaahi fakamanamana, taki pōpula, pea mo hono haha. (Ngāue 4:1-3, 18-21; 5:17, 18, 40) Neongo naʻe ʻi ai ha lōlahi ʻo e fakatangá, naʻe hanganaki malangaʻi pē ʻe he kau ʻapositoló mo e kau ākonga kehe ʻa Sīsuú ʻa e ongoongo leleí ʻaki ʻa e loto-toʻa.—Ngāue 4:29-31.
10. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono hanga ʻe heʻetau loto-falala ki he tokanga maluʻi ʻa Sihová ʻo tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú?
10 ʻI he hangē ko Mōsesé, naʻe ʻikai ke ilifia ʻa e muʻaki kau muimui ia ʻo Sīsuú ʻi honau ngaahi fili hā mai tokolahí. Naʻe tui ʻa e kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú ki he ʻOtuá, pea ko hono olá, naʻa nau malava ai ke kātakiʻi ʻa e fakatanga fefeka naʻa nau hokosiá. ʻIo, naʻa nau hokohoko tuʻumaʻu ʻi heʻenau sio ki he Tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku taʻehāmaí. ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku fakalototoʻaʻi kitautolu ʻe he lāuʻilo maʻu pē ki he tokanga maluʻi ʻoku fai mai ʻe Sihová, ʻo ʻomai ai kiate kitautolu ʻa e loto-toʻa mo e taʻemanavahē ʻi heʻetau ngāue malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e “ilifia ki ha tangata, ʻoku te moʻua ai ʻi ha tauhele: ka ko ia ʻoku tuʻu ʻene falala kia Sihova, ʻe maluʻi.” (Palovepi 29:25) Ko ia ai, ʻoku ʻikai te tau fakaholomui ʻi ha manavahē ki he fakatangá; pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau maaʻi ʻetau ngāue fakafaifekaú. ʻOku ueʻi kitautolu ʻe heʻetau tuí ke tau faifakamoʻoni loto-toʻa ki he ngaahi kaungāʻapí, ngaahi kaungāngāué, ngaahi kaungāakó, mo e niʻihi kehé.—Loma 1:14-16.
ʻOku Tataki ʻe he Tokotaha Taʻehāmaí ʻEne Kakaí
11. Fakatatau kia Pita mo Siutasi, naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe he niʻihi ko ia naʻa nau feohi mo e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ha tuʻunga siʻisiʻi ʻo e mahino fakalaumālié?
11 ʻOku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he tuí ke tau sio kia Sihova ʻi he tuʻunga ko e tokotaha ʻokú ne tataki ʻene kautaha fakaemāmaní. ʻOku tau fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei hono maʻu ha fakakaukau fakaanga ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau fua ʻa e fatongia ʻi he fakatahaʻangá. Naʻe fakatokanga fakatouʻosi ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Pitá mo e tokoua faʻē taha ʻo Sīsū ko Siutasí ʻo fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga ʻa ia naʻa nau mātuʻaki masiva ʻi he mahino fakalaumālié ʻo nau lea kovi ai ki he kau tangata naʻa nau takimuʻa ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Kalisitiané. (2 Pita 2:9-12; Siutasi 8) Naʻe mei lea pehē nai ʻa e kau fakasio-hala peheé ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová kapau naʻá ne hā mai fakaesino kiate kinautolu? ʻIkai ʻaupito! Ka koeʻuhi ko e taʻehāmai ʻa e ʻOtuá, naʻe ʻikai malava ai ʻa e kau tangata fakaekakano ko iá ke nau fakakaukau atu ki he pau ke nau fai ha fakamatala kiate iá.
12. Ko e hā ʻa e fakakaukau ʻoku totonu ke tau fakahāhā ki he faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau takimuʻa ʻi he fakatahaʻangá?
12 Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku faʻu ʻaki ʻa e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ʻa e faʻahinga taʻehaohaoa ʻo e tangatá. Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku ngāue ko e kau mātuʻá ʻoku nau fai ha ngaahi hala ʻa ia ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku uesia nai ai kitautolu fakafoʻituitui. Ka neongo ia, ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e kau tangata peheé ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau tauhi ʻo ʻene tākangá. (1 Pita 5:1, 2) Ko e kau tangata mo e kau fefine ʻoku fakakaukau fakalaumālié ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ko e taha ʻeni ʻa e founga ʻa ia ʻoku tataki ai ʻe Sihova ʻene kakaí. Ko ia ai, ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau Kalisitiané, ʻoku tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he laumālie fakaangá, mo lāungá pea fakahāhā ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ngaahi fokotuʻutuʻu fakateokalati ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI he hoko ʻo talangofua ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau takimuʻa ʻi hotau lotolotongá, ʻoku tau fakahāhā ai ʻa ʻetau sio ki he Tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku taʻehāmaí.—Hepelu 13:17.

13 ʻOku toe ʻi ai ʻa e tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ʻa e ʻilo fakalaumālié. Naʻe kikiteʻi ʻe ʻAisea: “Ko ho matá kuo pau ke hoko ko e mata ʻoku sio ki ho Faiako Maʻongoʻongá.” (Aisea 30:20, NW) ʻOku fiemaʻu ʻa e tui ki hono ʻiloʻi ko Sihova ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne akoʻi kitautolu fakafou ʻi heʻene kautaha fakaemāmaní. (Mātiu 24:45-47) Ko e sio ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he tuʻunga ko ʻetau Faiako Maʻongoʻongá ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he meʻa lahi ange ia ʻi hono tauhi maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tōʻonga ako Tohitapu leleí mo hono maʻu maʻu pē ʻa e ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané. ʻOku ʻuhinga iá ki hono ngāue ʻaonga kakato ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tokonaki fakalaumālie ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Kuo Pau Ke Tau Fai ha Fakamatala
15. Kuo anga-fēfē ʻa e ngāue ʻa e niʻihi ʻo hangē kuo nau taʻehāmai kia Sihová?
15 ʻOku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻa e tui ki he Tokotaha ʻoku taʻehāmaí tautefito koeʻuhi ko e fulikivanú ʻoku failahia ʻaupito ia ʻi he “taimi fakamui” ko ʻení.

16 ʻOku lelei ke fakakaukau ki he ngaahi lea ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Te tau taki taha fai ha fakamatala ki he ʻOtua maʻata.” (Loma 14:12) ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau ʻiloʻi ko e taimi kotoa pē ʻoku tau faiangahala aí, ʻoku tau faiangahala kia Sihova. Ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻení ʻoku totonu ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau fai ki heʻene ngaahi tuʻunga māʻolungá pea fakaʻehiʻehi mei he tōʻonga taʻemaʻá. ʻOku fakamanatu mai ʻe he Tohitapú kiate kitautolu: “ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa kuo ngaohi ʻe taeʻata pe ki he ʻEne ʻAfio: ka ʻoku telefua mo tokaimaʻananga ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe ki he fofonga ʻo ia ʻoku tau fakamāu ki ai.” (Hepelu 4:13) Ko e moʻoni, kuo pau ke tau fai ha fakamatala ki he ʻOtuá, ka ko hono moʻoní, ko ʻetau ʻofa loloto kia Sihová ʻa e ʻuhinga tefito ʻoku tau fai ai hono finangaló pea nofo maʻu ʻi heʻene ngaahi tuʻunga māʻoniʻoní.

20 Kapau ʻoku tau poto moʻoni, ʻoku tau fiefia ʻi hono maʻu ʻa Sihova ke ne hanganaki vakai mai kiate kitautolú. ʻOku ʻikai ngata pē ʻi heʻetau fiemaʻu ia ke ne ʻafio mai kiate kitautolú ka ʻoku tau toe loto ke ne fai ha sivisiviʻi fakaʻāuliliki ʻo ʻetau ngaahi fakakaukaú mo ʻetau ngaahi ngāué. ʻI he lotú, ʻoku lelei ke tau fakaafeʻi ai ʻa Sihova ke ne hakule kitautolu pea ke ʻilo pe ʻoku tau maʻu ha ngaahi hehema taʻetotonu. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku malava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau fekuki mo ʻetau ngaahi palopalemá pea ke fai ha ngaahi fakatonutonu pē ʻoku fiemaʻú. ʻOku feʻungamālie ai ʻa e hiva ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāme ko Tēvitá: “Hakule au, Ela, ʻo ʻilo hoku loto ni: sivi au, ʻo ʻilo ʻeku ngaoʻi: ʻo vakai naʻa ʻoku ʻiate au ha hala ʻomi mala, pea taki au ʻi he hala taʻengata.”—Sāme 139:23, 24.
21 Naʻe tangi ʻa Tēvita ke hanga ʻe Sihova ʻo hakule ia ke vakai naʻa ʻoku ʻi ai ha “hala ʻomi mala” ʻiate ia. ʻI he hangē ko e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé, ʻikai ʻoku tau fakaʻamu ki he ʻOtuá ke ne hakule hotau lotó mo vakai naʻa ʻoku tau maʻu ha ngaahi fakaueʻiloto taʻetotonu? Ko ia, ʻi he tuí, ʻai ke tau kole kia Sihova ke ne sivisiviʻi kitautolu. Kae fēfē kapau ʻoku fakahohaʻasi kitautolu ʻe he loto-moʻua ki ha faihala pe ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa fakatupu loto-lavea ʻi loto ʻiate kitautolu? Tau hokohoko atu leva ʻetau lotu tōtōivi ki hotau ʻOtua ʻofá, ʻa Sihova, pea anganofo fakatōkilalo ki he tataki ʻa hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní pea mo e akonaki ʻa ʻene Folofolá. ʻOku malava ke tau loto-falala te ne hoko mai ke tokoniʻi kitautolu pea te ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau tuli ki ha ʻalunga ʻe taki atu ai ki he moʻui taʻengatá.—Sāme 40:11-13.
22. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ko ʻetau fakapapaú ia ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e Tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku taʻehāmaí?
22 ʻIo, ʻe tāpuakiʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova ʻaki ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá kapau ʻoku tau aʻusia ʻa ʻene ngaahi fiemaʻú. Ko hono moʻoní, kuo pau ke tau lāuʻilo ki hono mālohí mo hono mafaí, naʻa mo e ʻapositolo ko Paulá naʻá ne lāuʻilo ki ai ʻi heʻene tohi: “Ke ʻo e Tuʻi Itaniti, ko e Taʻeʻauha, ko e Taʻehamai, ko e ʻOtua pe Taha, ke ʻo ʻEne ʻAfio ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa mo e kololia ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata. Emeni.” (1 Timote 1:17) ʻOfa ke tau fakahāhā maʻu pē ʻa e ʻapasia loto-moʻoni pehē kia Sihova. Pea tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻe hoko maí, ʻai ke ʻoua ʻaupito naʻa tau toumoua ʻi heʻetau fakapapau ke hokohoko atu tuʻumaʻu ʻi he sio ki he Tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku taʻehāmaí.
