ʼE Tāu Mo Sehova Ke Tou Fakavikiviki Kiā Te Ia ʼi Te Logotahi
“Kotou fakavikiviki kiā Sah!”—PES. 111:1.

3. Koteā ia te tupuʼaga tāfito ʼo tatatou fakatahitahi tuʼumaʼu?

Ko te tupuʼaga tāfito ʼo tatatou fakatahitahi tuʼumaʼu, ʼi te ʼu kōkelekāsio pea mo te ʼu fakatahi lalahi, ke tou fakavikiviki kiā Sehova.
4. ʼE lava kumi feafeaʼi e te hahaʼi ia te ʼu gāue ʼa Sehova?
4 “Ko te ʼu gāue ʼa Sehova ʼe lalahi, pea ʼe kumi e nātou fuli ʼaē ʼe natou fakafiafia ai.” (Pes. 111:2) Kotou tokagaʼi ia te kupu “kumi.” Ohagē ko tona ʼui ʼi te tohi, ʼe feala ke fakaʼuhiga ia te vaega ʼaia ki te hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe kua natou fakaliliu ia te ʼu gāue ʼa te ʼAtua ʼe ko “te faʼahi tāfito ʼaē ʼe natou fia metitāsioʼi loloto pea mo natou fia ako.” Ko te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe fakatupu e Sehova ʼe mahu ʼi te ʼu gāue fakatalakitupua ʼaē ʼe natou fakahoko. Neʼe ina fakatuʼu ia te laʼā, te kele pea mo te māhina, ʼo māui lelei ia tanatou gāue takitahi, ke foaki ai ki totatou kele ia te māfana pea mo te mālama, te pōʼuli pea mo te ʼaho, te ʼu fasigā taʼu pea mo te fānake ʼo te tai pea mo te tai mamaha.
5. ʼI te tuputupu ʼo te mahino ʼa te tagata ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼatulaulau, koteā ʼaē neʼe hā ai?
5 Neʼe mahino ki te ʼu tagata popoto ia te ʼaoga ʼaupitō ʼo te vaha ʼo te kele mo te laʼā, mo te takafoli lelei ʼo te māhina ʼi te ʼatulaulau, mo tona fualahi, pea mo tona mamafa.

Koia ʼi te ʼalatike “The Designed ‘Just So’ Universe” (“Te Fakatuʼutuʼu Totonu ʼo Te ʼAtulaulau”), neʼe ʼui fēnei e te polofesea ʼo ʼuhiga mo he ʼu gāue ʼe fai e he masini (ingénierie mécanique): “ ʼE faigafua pē hakita mahino vave ki te tupuʼaga ʼaē ʼo te fetogi ʼo te manatu ʼa he ʼu tagata popoto e tokolahi ʼi te ʼu taʼu e 30 ʼaenī kua hili, ʼo natou manatu tahi ʼe ʼaoga ke kita maʼu ia he toe tui ʼe lahi moʼo tali ia te fakamahino ʼaē ko te ʼatulaulau neʼe hoko fakafokifā pē ia.

6. Koteā takotou manatu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te faʼahiga faʼu ʼaē e te ʼAtua ia te tagata?
6 Ko te tahi gāue lahi ʼi te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe fakatupu e te ʼAtua, ʼe ko tana faʼahiga faʼu ʼaē ʼo tātou. (Pes. 139:14) ʼI tana faʼu ia te tagata, neʼe ina foaki ki ai he ʼatamai, he sino ʼaki tona ʼu koga kehekehe ʼe ʼaoga kiai, pea mo te ʼu fealagia pea mo te poto ʼi te gāue. Ohagē lā, ko te milakulo ʼaē neʼe foaki mai e te ʼAtua ke tou lava palalau pea mo fakalogo, ʼo fēia mo tatatou lava faitohi pea mo lautohi. ʼE maʼu e te hahaʼi tokolahi ia te ʼu fealagia ʼaia. ʼE kotou toe maʼu mo te faʼahi ʼe fakaofoofo, te lava tuʼu tonu ʼo tokotou sino. Koia, ʼe fakatupu manavasiʼi ai ia te faʼahiga faʼu ʼaē ʼo totatou sino, te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe ina lava fai pea mo faʼu. ʼO hilifaki kiai, ʼe mole he meʼa ʼi te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe faʼu e te hahaʼi popoto, ʼe feala ke fakatatau ki te faʼahiga fakapipiki ʼo totatou ʼu ivi ke feala ai ki totatou ʼatamai pea mo te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaē ʼe tou logoʼi ke haʼele lelei. ʼI tona fakahagatonu, ʼe feala ke fai e te tagata he ʼu gāue ʼaki pē ia tona ʼatamai pea mo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe ina logoʼi, ʼaē ʼe maʼu e te hahaʼi fuli pē.

Te ʼu Gāue Lalahi ʼa Te ʼAtua Pea Mo Tona ʼu Kalitātē
7. He koʼē ʼe tonu ke tou fakaʼuhiga ia te Tohi-Tapu ohagē ko he gāue lahi ʼi te ʼu gāue lalahi ʼa te ʼAtua?
7 ʼE kau ki te ʼu gāue lalahi ʼa Sehova ia te ʼu meʼa fakatalakitupua ʼaē neʼe ina fai maʼa te mālamanei, ʼaē ʼe fakamatala ʼi te Tohi-Tapu. Ko te tohi ʼaia ʼe ko he gāue lahi ʼa Sehova pea ʼe felōgoi tahi ia te ʼu fakamatala fuli ʼaē ʼe tuʼu ai. ʼO mole hagē ko te tahi age ʼu tohi, ko te tohi ʼaia “ ʼe haʼu [ia] mai te ʼAtua pea ʼe ʼaoga moʼo akoʼi.” (2 Tim. 3:16) Ohagē lā, ko te ʼuluaki tohi ʼo te Tohi-Tapu, ia Senesi, ʼe ina fakamahino pe neʼe fakamaʼa feafeaʼi e te ʼAtua ia te kele mai te agakovi ʼi te temi ʼo Noe. Ko te lua tohi, ia Ekesote, ʼe ina fakahā pe neʼe fakalakatonuʼi feafeaʼi e Sehova ia tona ʼuhiga ʼAtua ʼaki tana fakaʼāteaina ia Iselaele mai tonatou maʼuli pōpula ʼi Esipito. Neʼe lagi manatuʼi e te tagata fai pesalemo ia te ʼu meʼa ʼaia neʼe hoko, ʼo ina ʼui fēnei ai: “Ko [te] gāue [ʼa Sehova] ʼe fakaʼapaʼapaʼia pea mo fakatalakitupua, pea ko tana faitotonu ʼe tuʼu anai ʼo talu ai. Neʼe ina fai he fakamanatu maʼa tana ʼu gāue fakaofoofo. Ko Sehova ʼe agaʼofa pea mo manavaʼofa.” (Pes. 111:3, 4) ʼE mole kotou manatu tahi koa lā ko te ʼu gāue ʼaē neʼe fai e Sehova ʼi te hisitolia, ʼo kau kiai ia te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe ina fai ʼi totatou temi, ʼe ko he fakamanatu ʼaia ʼo tona ‘fakaʼapaʼapaʼia pea mo tona fakatalakitupua’?
8, 9. (a) Ko te ʼu faʼahi fea ʼaē ʼe kehekehe ai ia te ʼu gāue ʼa te ʼAtua pea mo te ʼu tuʼuga gāue ʼa te tagata? (b) Koteā ʼihi age kalitātē ʼo te ʼAtua ʼe kotou leleiʼia?
8 Kotou tokagaʼi ʼe toe fakamaʼuhigaʼi e te tagata fai pesalemo ia te ʼu kalitātē taulekaleka ʼo Sehova, ohagē ko te faitotonu, te agaʼofa pea mo te manavaʼofa. ʼE kotou ʼiloʼi ko te ʼu gāue ʼa te hahaʼi agahala, ʼe tahitahiga tona fai ʼaki te faitotonu. ʼI te agamāhani ʼe uga nātou e te mānumānu, te holi pea mo te fia māʼoluga. ʼE hā ia te faʼahi ʼaia ʼi te ʼu mahafu fakamataku ʼaē neʼe faʼu e te hahaʼi ki te ʼu tau ʼaē neʼe natou fakatupu pea mo maʼu ai hanatou paʼaga. Neʼe tupu ai ia te toe maʼuli fakaʼofaʼofa lahi pea mo fakalialia ʼa te ʼu toko lauʼi miliona hahaʼi neʼe mole agakovi. Pea neʼe lahi ia te ʼu gāue ʼa te tagata neʼe fai, ʼo fakatupu mamahi ki te hahaʼi māsisiva. Ko te faʼifaʼitaki ʼe feala ke fakaʼaogaʼi e te tokolahi, ʼe ko te fakaʼaogaʼi ʼaē ʼo te ʼu hahaʼi fakapōpula moʼo faʼu ʼaki ia te ʼu pilamite. Ko te ʼu pilamite ʼaia neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi tāfito maʼa te ʼu Falaone fialalahi, ko honatou ʼu falemaka. Pea tahi ʼaē meʼa, ʼe lahi ʼi te ʼu gāue ʼaē ʼe fai iā ʼaho nei ʼe fakatupu lotomamahi pea mo ‘maumau ai ia te kele.’—Lau ia Fakahā 11:18.
9 ʼI kehekehe leva mo te ʼu gāue ʼa Sehova, ʼaē ʼe fakatafito tuʼumaʼu pē ki te meʼa ʼaē ʼe lelei! ʼE kau ki tana ʼu gāue ia tana fakatuʼutuʼu manavaʼofa ʼaē ke haofaki ia te mālamanei mai te agahala. ʼI tana foaki ia te totogi, ko te ʼAtua neʼe ina “fakahā ai ia tana faitotonu.” (Loma 3:25, 26) Koia, “ko tana faitotonu ʼe tuʼu anai ʼo talu ai”! ʼE toe fēia mo te agaʼofa, ʼaē neʼe hā ʼi te faʼa kātaki ʼa te ʼAtua ʼi tana felōgoi ʼaē mo ni hahaʼi agahala. ʼI ʼihi temi, neʼe ina fakaʼaogaʼi ia te taʼi palalau ʼaenī: “fakalelei age” mokā ina kolekole age kiā nātou ke natou maliu mai tanatou ʼu aga ʼaē ʼe kovi pea ke natou fai ia te meʼa ʼaē ʼe lelei.—Lau ia Esekiele 18:25.
ʼE Agatonu ʼo ʼUhiga Mo Tana ʼu Fakapapau
10. Koteā ia te faʼifaʼitaki ʼo ʼuhiga mo te agatonu neʼe tuku e Sehova ʼi te fuakava ʼaē neʼe ina fai mo Apalahamo?
10 “Neʼe ina foaki ia te meʼa kai kiā nātou ʼaē ʼe manavasiʼi kiā te ia. ʼE ina manatuʼi anai ia tana fuakava ki he ʼu temi ʼe mole ʼiloʼi hona gataʼaga.” (Pes. 111:5) ʼE hagē neʼe talanoa ʼi henī ia te tagata fai pesalemo ki te fuakava ʼaē neʼe fai mo Apalahamo. Neʼe fakapapau e Sehova ʼe ina tapuakina anai ia te hako ʼo Apalahamo pea mo ina ʼui ʼe natou maʼu anai ia te matapā ʼo tonatou ʼu fili. (Sen. 22:17, 18; Pes. 105:8, 9) Ko te ʼuluaki fakahoko ʼo te ʼu fakapapau ʼaia, ko te hako ʼo Apalahamo neʼe liliu ko te puleʼaga ʼo Iselaele. Neʼe nofo pōpula fualoa ia te puleʼaga ʼaia ʼi Esipito, kae “neʼe toe manatuʼi aipē e te ʼAtua ia tana fuakava ʼaē mo Apalahamo” pea neʼe ina fakaʼāteaina ia nātou. (Eke. 2:24) Ko te aga ʼaē neʼe fai e Sehova kiā nātou, neʼe hā ai ia tana loto fia foaki. Neʼe ina foaki age ia te meʼa kai fakasino moʼo fafaga ʼaki ia tonatou sino pea mo te meʼa kai fakalaumālie moʼo fafaga ʼaki ia tonatou ʼatamai pea mo tonatou loto. (Teu. 6:1-3; 8:4; Neh. 9:21) ʼI te sēkulō ʼaē neʼe hoa mai kiai, neʼe tuʼa lahi ia te maliu kehe ʼo te puleʼaga mai te ʼAtua, logolā tana fekauʼi kiā nātou ia te ʼu polofetā moʼo uga nātou ke natou toe liliu age. Hili taʼu e 1 500 ʼi te kua ʼosi fakaʼāteaina ʼo te kau Iselaele mai Esipito, neʼe fekauʼi ifo ki te kele e te ʼAtua ia tona ʼAlo ʼuluaki tupu. Tokolahi ʼi te kau Sutea neʼe natou liʼaki ia Sesu pea natou tuku ke matehi ia ia. Neʼe fakatuʼu ai leva e Sehova ia he puleʼaga foʼou, he puleʼaga fakalaumālie, “te Iselaele ʼo te ʼAtua.” ʼAki ia Kilisito, ko te puleʼaga ʼaia ʼe ina faʼufaʼu ia te hako fakalaumālie ʼo Apalahamo, ʼaē neʼe fakakikite e Sehova ʼe ina fakaʼaogaʼi anai moʼo tapuakinaʼi ia te mālamanei.—Kal. 3:16, 29; 6:16.
11. ʼE feafeaʼi kiā Sehova ia tana haga “manatuʼi [aipē]. . . ia tana fuakava” ʼaē neʼe ina fai mo Apalahamo?
11 Ko Sehova ʼe ina haga “manatuʼi . . . ia tana fuakava” pea mo te ʼu tapuakina ʼaē neʼe ina fakapapau ʼaki te fuakava ʼaia. Iā ʼaho nei, ʼe ina foaki ia he tuʼuga meʼa kai fakalaumālie iā lea e 400 tupu. Pea ʼe ina haga tali aipē ia tatatou ʼu faikole ʼaē ʼo ʼuhiga mo totatou maʼuli fakasino, ohagē ko te ʼu folafola ʼaenī: “Foaki mai tamatou pane ki te ʼaho ʼaenī, ʼaē ʼe ʼaoga ki te ʼaho nei.”—Luka 11:3; Pes. 72:16, 17; Isa. 25:6-8.
Te Mālohi Fakaofoofo ʼo Sehova
12. Neʼe foaki feafeaʼi ki Iselaele ia “te tōfiga ʼa te ʼu puleʼaga”?
12 “Ko te mālohi ʼo tana ʼu gāue, neʼe ina fakahā ki tana hahaʼi, ʼaki tana foaki age ia te tōfiga ʼa te ʼu puleʼaga.” (Pes. 111:6) Ko te meʼa fakaofoofo neʼe hoko ki Iselaele ʼaē neʼe lagi manatu kiai ia te tagata fai pesalemo, neʼe ko tonatou fakaʼāteaina fakamilakulo ʼaē mai Esipito. ʼI te tuku leva e Sehova ia te kau Iselaele ke natou hū ki te Kele ʼo Te Fakapapau, neʼe feala ai ke natou maʼu ia te ʼu puleʼaga ʼo te ʼu potu ʼesitē pea mo ʼuesitē ʼo te Vaitafe ʼo Solotane. (Lau ia Nehemia 9:22-25.) ʼEī, neʼe foaki e Sehova kiā Iselaele ia “te tōfiga ʼa te ʼu puleʼaga.” ʼE ko he toe fakahā lahi ʼaia ʼo te mālohi ʼo te ʼAtua!
13, 14. (a) ʼO ʼuhiga mo Papiloni, ko te ʼaluʼaga fea ʼaē neʼe fakahā ai e te ʼAtua ia tona mālohi, ʼaē neʼe lagi manatu kiai ia te tagata fai pesalemo? (b) Koteā ia te tahi age fakaʼāteaina ʼe lahi age neʼe fai e Sehova?
13 Kua tou ʼiloʼi lelei pē, logolā ia te ʼu meʼa lelei ʼaē neʼe fai e Sehova maʼa nātou, kae neʼe mole fakaʼapaʼapa ia Iselaele kiā te ia pea mo tonatou ʼu kui ko Apalahamo, mo Isaake pea mo Sakopo. Neʼe natou agatuʼu aipē ʼo aʼu ki te temi ʼaē neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi ai e te ʼAtua ia Papiloni moʼo fakamavae nātou mai tonatou fenua, ʼo ʼave nātou ʼo fakaʼaunofo. (2 Fkma. 36:15-17; Neh. 9:28-30) Ohagē ko tona ʼui e ʼihi tagata sivi ʼo te Tohi-Tapu, kapau ko te tagata ʼaē neʼe ina tohi ia te Pesalemo 111, neʼe maʼuli ʼi te toe liliu mai ʼaē ʼa Iselaele ʼi tanatou ʼaunofo ʼaē ʼi Papiloni, pea neʼe ina maʼu ai he tahi age tupuʼaga ke ina fakavikiviki kiā Sehova ʼuhi ko Tana agatonu pea mo Tona mālohi. Neʼe fakahā e te ʼAtua ia te ʼu kalitātē ʼaia ʼaki tana fakaʼāteaina ia te kau Sutea mai Papiloni, te puleʼaga ʼaē neʼe ko tana lao ke ʼaua naʼa toe fakaʼāteaina ia te hahaʼi pilisoni.—Isa. 14:4, 17.
14 Hili sēkulō e nima ki muli age, neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi e Sehova ia tona mālohi ʼi hona ʼaluʼaga ʼe lahi age, ʼaki tana fakaʼāteaina ia te hahaʼi fakahemala mai tanatou maʼuli pōpula ki te agahala pea mo te mate. (Loma 5:12) Neʼe feala ai leva ki te toko 144 000 hahaʼi ke natou liliu ko he ʼu tisipulo ʼa Kilisito neʼe fakanofo ʼaki te laumālie. ʼI te taʼu 1919, neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi e Sehova ia tona mālohi moʼo fakaʼāteaina ia te kiʼi toe ʼo te ʼu fakanofo ʼaia, ʼaē neʼe ʼaunofo ʼi te lotu hala. Ko te ʼu gāue ʼaē ʼe natou fai ʼi te temi fakaʼosi ʼaenī, ʼe lava fakahoko ʼaki pē ia te mālohi ʼo te ʼAtua. ʼI tanatou nonofo agatonu ʼo aʼu ki te mate, ʼe natou kaugā hau anai mo Sesu Kilisito ʼi selō ki te kele, pea ʼe fua lelei anai ki te hahaʼi ʼaē neʼe fakahemala. (Fakh. 2:26, 27; 5:9, 10) ʼE natou maʼu anai ia te fenua ʼe lahi age ia ʼi te fenua ʼaē neʼe maʼu e Iselaele.—Mat. 5:5.
Ko Te ʼu Pelesepeto ʼe Heʼegata Pea Mo Tuha Ke Tou Falala Kiai
15, 16. (a) Koteā ʼaē ʼe kau ki te ʼu gāue ʼo te ʼu nima ʼo te ʼAtua? (b) Koteā ia te ʼu fakatotonu ʼaē neʼe foaki e te ʼAtua ki Iselaele?
15 “Ko te ʼu gāue ʼo tona ʼu nima ʼe moʼoni pea mo fakamāu; ʼe tuha mo te falala ia te ʼu fakatotonu fuli ʼaē ʼe ina foaki, kua fakamoʼoni ʼo talu ai, ki he ʼu temi ʼe mole ʼiloʼi hona gataʼaga, ʼe fai ʼaki te moʼoni pea mo te agatonu.” (Pes. 111:7, 8) Neʼe kau ʼi “te ʼu gāue ʼo [te] ʼu nima [ʼo Sehova]” ia te ʼu maka e lua ʼaē neʼe tohi kiai ia te ʼu lao maʼuhiga e hogofulu maʼa Iselaele. (Eke. 31:18) Ko te ʼu lao ʼaia, pea mo te tahi age ʼu fakatotonu fuli ʼaē neʼe kau ki te fuakava ʼo te Lao ʼa Moisese, ʼe fakatafito ki te ʼu pelesepeto ʼe heʼegata pea mo tuha ke tou falala kiai.
16 Ohagē lā, ko te tahi ʼi te ʼu fakatotonu, peʼe ko te ʼu lao ʼaē neʼe tohi ʼi te ʼu maka ʼaia, neʼe ʼui fēnei: “Ko au ia Sehova, tou ʼAtua, ko au ko te ʼAtua ʼe ina fakamaʼua he pipiki ʼāteaina pē kiā te au.” ʼE ʼui ki muli age, ko Sehova ʼe “lotoʼofa aipē ki te lauʼi afe taʼiake, mo kapau ʼe natou ʼoʼofa kiā te [ia] pea mo natou taupau [ia tana] ʼu folafola.” ʼI te ʼu maka ʼaia neʼe toe maʼu ai ia te ʼu pelesepeto ʼe ʼaoga ʼi te temi fuli pē, ohagē ko te ʼu pelesepeto ʼaenī: “Fakaʼapaʼapa ki tau tamai mo tau faʼē” pea “ ʼe mole tonu ke ke kaihaʼa.” Pea mo te lao ʼaē ʼaē ʼe fakapotopoto ʼaupitō, ʼaē ʼe ina tapuʼi ia te mānumānu ki he ʼu meʼa ʼa ʼihi age.—Eke. 20:5, 6, 12, 15, 17.
Ko Totatou Fakamaʼuli ʼe Māʼoniʼoni Pea ʼe Tonu Ke Tou Manavasiʼi Kiā Te Ia
17. Ko te ʼu tupuʼaga fea ʼaē neʼe tonu ai ki te kau Iselaele ke natou fakamāʼoniʼoni ia te huafa ʼo te ʼAtua?
17 “Neʼe ina fekauʼi mai ia te haofaki ki tana hahaʼi. Ki he ʼu temi ʼe mole ʼiloʼi hona gataʼaga, neʼe ina fakatotonu ia tana fuakava. Ko tona huafa ʼe māʼoniʼoni pea mo fakamataku.” (Pes. 111:9) Neʼe lagi toe manatuʼi e te tagata fai pesalemo ia te agatonu ʼa Sehova, ʼi te fakapapau ʼaē neʼe ina fai ʼi tana fuakava ʼaē mo Apalahamo. Koia lā ʼaē neʼe mole tuku ai e Sehova ia tana hahaʼi, ke natou maʼuli pōpula ʼi Esipito pea ki muli age ʼi tanatou ʼaunofo ʼi Papiloni. ʼI te ʼu ʼaluʼaga ʼaia e lua, neʼe haofaki e te ʼAtua ia tana hahaʼi. ʼAki pē ia te ʼu haofaki ʼaia e lua neʼe fai e Sehova, neʼe feʼauga aipē ki te kau Iselaele ke natou fakamāʼoniʼoni ia te huafa ʼo te ʼAtua.—Lau ia Ekesote 20:7; Loma 2:23, 24.
18. He koʼē ʼe kotou manatu ʼe ko he pilivilēsio ia te fua ʼo te huafa ʼo te ʼAtua?
18 ʼE toe fēia ki te kau Kilisitiano iā ʼaho nei, ʼaē neʼe haofaki nātou mai tanatou kaugana ki te agahala pea mo te mate, pea neʼe mole honatou ʼamanaki. ʼE tonu ke tou faiga lahi ke tou maʼuliʼi ia te koga ʼuluaki ʼaē neʼe kole ʼi te faikole ko te Tamai ʼaē ʼe ʼi selō: “Ke tapuhā tou huafa.” (Mat. 6:9) Kapau ʼe tou metitāsioʼi ia te huafa maʼuhiga ʼaia, pea ʼe tupu ai anai iā tātou ia te manavasiʼi ki te ʼAtua. Ko ia ʼaē neʼe ina tohi ia te Pesalemo 111, neʼe mahino ia ki te fakaʼuhiga ʼo te manavasiʼi fakaʼatua, ʼi tana ʼui ʼaenī: “Ko te manavasiʼi kiā Sehova ko te kamataʼaga ia ʼo te poto. Ko nātou fuli ʼaē ʼe natou maʼuliʼi [ʼaē ʼe natou taupau tana ʼu fakatotonu] ʼe natou fakasiosio poto lelei.”—Pes. 111:10.
19. Koteā ʼaē kā tou vakaʼi anai ʼi te ʼalatike kā hoa mai?
19 Ko te manavasiʼi ki te ʼAtua, ʼe tokoni mai anai ke tou fehiʼa ki te meʼa ʼaē ʼe kovi. ʼE toe tokoni mai anai ke tou faʼifaʼitakiʼi ia te ʼu kalitātē fakatalakitupua ʼa te ʼAtua ʼaē ʼe fakahā ʼi te Pesalemo 112, pea ʼe tou vakaʼi anai ʼi te ʼalatike ʼaē kā hoa mai. ʼE fakahā ʼi te pesalemo ʼaia peʼe feafeaʼi hatatou lava kau ʼi te ʼu toko lauʼi miliona hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe natou fakavikiviki fakafiafia anai ki te ʼAtua ʼo talu ai. ʼE tuha mo ia ia te faʼahi ʼaia. “Ko tona fakavikiviki ʼe tuʼu ia ʼo talu ai.”—Pes. 111:10.
