LĒSONI 4

Mei he ʻItá ki he Tāmate

Mei he ʻItá ki he Tāmate

ʻI he hili ʻa e mavahe ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi mei he ngoue ʻo ʻĪtení, naʻe maʻu ʻena fānau tokolahi. Ko hona ʻuluaki fohá ko Keini, naʻe hoko ia ko ha tokotaha ngoue, pea ko hona foha hono uá ko ʻĒpeli, naʻá ne hoko ko ha tauhi-sipi.

ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe fai ai ʻe Keini mo ʻĒpeli ha feilaulau kia Sihova. ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi pe ko e hā ʻa e feilaulau? Ko ha meʻaʻofa ia ki he ʻOtuá. Naʻe fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi he feilaulau ʻa ʻĒpelí, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fiefia ʻi he feilaulau ʻa Keiní. Naʻe ʻai ʻe he meʻa ko iá ke ʻita lahi ʻa Keini. Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa Sihova kia Keini ʻe lava ke ʻai ia ʻe heʻene ʻitá ke ne fai ha meʻa ʻoku kovi. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fanongo ki ai ʻa Keini.

Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Keini kia ʻĒpeli: ‘Haʻu ke ta ō ki he ngoué.’ Lolotonga ʻena toko ua ʻi he ngoué, naʻe ʻohofi ʻe Keini ʻa hono tokouá ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia. Ko e hā ʻe fai ʻe Sihova fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni? Naʻe tauteaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Keini ʻaki hono fekauʻi ke ne ʻalu ʻo nofo mamaʻo mei hono fāmilí. Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito fakaʻatā ke toe foki mai ʻa Keini.

ʻOku ʻi ai ha lēsoni heni kiate kitautolu? ʻE kamata nai ke tau ongoʻi ʻita kapau ʻoku ʻikai hoko ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ʻi he founga ʻoku tau fakakaukau ki ai ʻoku totonú. Kapau ʻoku tau ongoʻi ʻoku tupu ʻi loto ha ʻita ʻiate kitautolu​—pe kapau ʻoku fakatokanga mai ʻa e niʻihi kehé ko ʻenau fakatokangaʻi ʻa ʻetau ʻitá—​ʻoku totonu ke tau ngāue fakavave ke puleʻi ʻetau ongoʻí ki muʻa ke ne puleʻi kitautolú.

Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻofa ʻa ʻĒpeli kia Sihova peá ne fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe totonú, ʻe manatuʻi maʻu pē ia ʻe Sihova. ʻE toe fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻĒpeli ʻi he taimi te Ne ngaohi ai ʻa e māmaní ko ha palataisí.

“ʻUluaki fakamelino mo ho tokouá, peá ke foki mai leva ʻo foaki hoʻo meʻaʻofá.”​—Mātiu 5:24
