Naʻá Ne Fakahā Mai ʻa e Hala ke Foki Ai ki ʻApí

“Naʻe hāʻele mai [ʻa e Fakamoʻuí] ki he māmaní ke fakahaaʻi kiate kitautolu ʻa e founga ke tau moʻui ʻaki ai e palani naʻe faʻu ʻi he langí—ʻa ia ko ha palani kapau te tau moʻui ʻaki, te tau fiefia ai. Naʻe hanga ʻe Heʻene sīpingá ʻo fakahaaʻi mai kiate kitautolu ʻa e hala ke toe foki ai ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní. Kuo teʻeki ai ha taha ʻe moʻui kuó ne fakahaaʻi ha “tuʻu maʻu mo taʻeueʻia” pehē (Mōsaia 5:15). Naʻe ʻikai teitei tohoakiʻi ʻEne tokangá ʻe ha meʻa. Naʻá Ne tokanga taha pē ke fakahoko e finangalo ʻo e Tamaí, pea naʻá Ne tauhi angatonu ki Hono misiona fakalangí. …

“ ʻOku mou kau atu ki he palani fakaofo ko ia naʻe fakamatalaʻi atu ʻi he maama fakalaumālié. Talu mei hono tali ʻo e palaní mo hono teuaki hoʻomou haʻu ki he māmaní. Naʻe ʻikai tupukoso hake pē hoʻomou ʻi heni he kuongá ni mo e feituʻú ni. Naʻe hanga ʻe hoʻomou ‘fuʻu tui lahi ʻaupitó mo e ngaahi ngāue leleí’ (ʻAlamā 13:3) ʻo fakatoka e fakavaʻe ki he meʻa te mou lava ʻo fakahoko he taimi ní, ʻo kapau te mou faivelenga mo talangofua. … ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngāue maʻongoʻonga ke mou fai. Ke mou lava ʻo fakahoko ʻa homou misiona fakalangí mo moʻui ʻaki ʻa e palani ʻo e fiefiá, kuo pau ke mou tuʻu maʻu mo taʻeueʻia.”
