(Loma 10:4) Ko e kau Kalisitiané naʻe fiemaʻu ke nau muimui ki ha lao foʻou, “ʻa e lao ʻa e Kalaisí.” (Kal. 6:2) Naʻe lava ke nau talangofua ki he “lao” ko ení, ʻaki ʻenau faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū pea muimui ki heʻene ngaahi akonakí, kae ʻikai ko hono ako maʻuloto ʻa e laó pea muimui ki ha lisi lōloa ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ke fai mo ʻikai ke fai. ʻOku pehē pē ʻi he ʻahó ni, ko e kau Kalisitiané ʻoku nau fai honau lelei tahá ke muimui ki he Kalaisí koeʻuhi ke nau fakahōifuaʻi ai ʻa Sihova pea “maʻu ha fakaivifoʻou” kiate kinautolu.—Māt. 11:29.

(Saame 141:2) Ko hono tutu ʻo e ʻinisēnisí naʻe ʻoatu ai ha ngangatu fakahōifua ki he ʻOtuá. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ko ʻetau ngaahi lotu loto-moʻoní “ko ha meʻa fakafiefia ia” kiate ia, neongo kapau ʻoku tau ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea mātuʻaki faingofua.

Naʻe tala ki he kau ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá: “Tuʻo tolu ʻi he taʻu, ʻe hā ai ʻa e kotoa ʻo hoʻo kakai tangatá ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá ʻi he feituʻu ʻa ia te ne filí.” (Teu. 16:16) Naʻe pau ke nau mavahe mei honau ʻapí mo ʻenau ngoué ʻo ʻikai ha taha ke ne leʻo. Ka naʻe talaʻofa ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu: “ʻE ʻikai ha taha ʻe holi ki ho fonuá lolotonga hoʻo ʻalu hake ke sio ki he fofonga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtuá.” (ʻEki. 34:24) Ko e kau ʻIsileli manavahē-ʻOtua ko iá, naʻa nau falala kakato kia Sihova ʻo maʻu ʻa e kātoanga fakataʻú. Naʻe lava ai ke nau utu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki fakakoloa; naʻa nau fakalahi ai ʻenau mahinoʻi ʻa e Lao ʻa e ʻOtuá, fakalaulauloto ki Heʻene leleí, pea fiefia ʻi he feohi fakalototoʻa mo e kaungātuí. (Teu. 16:15) ʻOku tau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga meimei tatau ʻi heʻetau fai ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau ke maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané. Pea fakakaukau atu ki he fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻetau haʻu kuo tau mateuteu ke fai ha tali nounou mo mohu ʻuhinga.
10. ʻOku anga-fēfē hoko ʻa e hivá ko ha konga mahuʻinga ʻo ʻetau lotú?

Naʻe vaheʻi ʻe Tuʻi Tēvita ʻa e kau Līvai ʻe toko 288 ko e kau hiva ʻi he temipalé.

Fakakaukau ki he meʻá ni: ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau lea aí, “ʻoku tau tūkia ʻo tā-tuʻo-lahi,” ka ʻoku ʻikai ke taʻofi ai kitautolu mei he lea ʻi he fakatahaʻangá pea mo e ngāue fakafaifekaú. (Sēm. 3:2) ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke tau fakaʻatā ʻetau hohaʻa ki he ʻikai ke tau fuʻu leʻo leleí ke ne taʻofi kitautolu mei he hiva fakahīkihiki kia Sihová.
11. Hangē ko ia ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Saame 48:13, ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau vaheʻi ʻa e taimi ki he ako Tohi Tapu fakafāmilí?
11 ʻOku tau lotu kia Sihova ʻi heʻetau ako ʻene Folofolá pea akoʻi ʻetau fānaú fekauʻaki mo ia. Ko e Sāpaté naʻe ʻoange ai ki he kau ʻIsilelí ʻa e faingamālie ke nau mālōlō mei heʻenau ngāue fakaʻahó pea tokangataha ki honau vahaʻangatae mo Sihová. (ʻEki. 31:16, 17) Ko e kau faitōnungá naʻa nau akoʻi ʻenau fānaú fekauʻaki mo Sihova mo ʻene leleí. ʻOku totonu ke tau vaheʻi ʻa e taimi fakafoʻituitui ke lau mo ako ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko e konga eni ʻo ʻetau lotu kia Sihová, pea ʻoku tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke ʻunuʻunu ofi ange kiate ia. (Saame 73:28) Pea ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau ako fakataha ai ko ha fāmilí, ʻoku lava ke tau tokoniʻi ai ha toʻutangata foʻou—ʻa ʻetau fānaú—ke fakatupulekina ha vahaʻangatae fakafoʻituitui māfana mo ʻetau Tamai fakahēvani ʻofá.—Lau ʻa e Saame 48:13.
12. Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako mei he anga ʻo e vakai ʻa Sihova ki he ngāue ʻa e faʻahinga naʻa nau faʻu ʻa e ngaahi naunau ʻo e tāpanekalé?
12 ʻOku tau lotu kia Sihova ʻi heʻetau langa mo tokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi feituʻu faiʻanga lotú. ʻOku pehē ʻi he Tohi Tapú ko e ngāue ki hono faʻu ʻo e tāpanekalé mo hono ngaahi naunaú ko ha “ngāue toputapú.” (ʻEki. 36:1, 4) ʻI he ʻahó ni, ʻoku toe vakai foki ʻa Sihova ki he ngāue ki hono langa ʻo e ngaahi Fale Fakatahaʻangá mo e ngaahi langa fakateokalati kehé ko ha ngāue toputapu.

13 ʻOku tau lotu kia Sihova ʻi heʻetau poupou ki he ngāue ʻi māmani lahí ʻaki ʻetau foaki ha tokoni. Naʻe ʻikai fiemaʻu ki he kau ʻIsilelí ke nau hā mola pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová. (Teu. 16:16) Naʻe pau ke nau ʻoatu ha meʻaʻofa fakamatelie ʻo fakatatau ki honau tuʻungá. Ko ia naʻa nau fakahaaʻi ai ʻenau houngaʻia ki he ngaahi fokotuʻutuʻu kotoa naʻe fai ke nau maʻu ʻaonga fakalaumālie mei ai. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakahāhā ʻetau ʻofa kia Sihová pea mo ʻetau houngaʻia ki he ngaahi tokonaki fakalaumālie ʻoku tau maʻú? Ko e founga ʻe taha ko hono foaki ha poupou fakapaʻanga ki he fakatahaʻanga fakalotofonuá pea ki he ngāue ʻi māmani lahí ʻo fakatatau ki hotau tuʻungá. Naʻe fakalea ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻo peheni: “Kapau ʻoku ʻuluaki ʻi ai ʻa e loto-vēkeveké, ʻoku tautefito ʻene fakahōifuá ʻi hono fai ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha taha, ʻo ʻikai fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe ha taha.” (2 Kol. 8:4, 12) ʻOku fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻe Sihova ha foaki loto-moʻoni pē ʻoku tau fai, neongo kapau ʻoku siʻisiʻi.—Mk. 12:42-44; 2 Kol. 9:7.
14. Fakatatau ki he Palōveepi 19:17, ʻoku anga-fēfē vakai ʻa Sihova ki he tokoni ʻoku tau fai ki hotau fanga tokoua ʻoku fiemaʻu tokoní?
14 ʻOku tau lotu kia Sihova ʻi heʻetau tokoni ki ha kaungā-Kalisitiane ʻoku fiemaʻu tokoni. Naʻe talaʻofa ʻe Sihova te ne fakapaleʻi ʻa e kau ʻIsileli naʻa nau fakahāhā ʻa e leleiʻia ʻi he masivá.
