“Kuo Ui ʻe he ʻEikí ke Mau Malanga ʻAki ʻa e Ongoongoleleí”

In a vision, Peter baptizes a Gentile.

‘I he folofola fakamāvae ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ki Heʻene kau ‘Aposetoló, naʻá Ne fekau kinautolu ke nau “fakalotuʻi ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo papitaiso ʻa kinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo e Tamaí, mo e ʻAló, mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní” (Mātiu 28:19). Naʻe ʻi ai ha tupulaki fakaofo ʻia Paula mo hono ngaahi hoá ʻi hono fakahoko ʻo e fekau ko ʻení. Ko e taumuʻa ʻo e lēsoni ko ʻení ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke fakatokangaʻi ʻa e tokoni ʻoku finangalo ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke ʻoatu kiate koe ʻi hoʻo feinga ke vahevahe ʻEne ongoongoleleí mo e niʻihi kehé.

Ko hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e tokāteliné mo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoní. ʻOku totonu ke poupouʻi ʻe he kau faiakó ʻa e kau akó ke nau fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e moʻoní ʻi heʻenau moʻuí. ʻOku hoko hono fakaʻaongaʻí ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakakaukau ai e kau akó, talanoa, mo moʻui ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni kuo nau akó. ʻI hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he kau akó e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí ʻi heʻenau moʻuí, te nau maʻu ai e ngaahi tāpuaki kuo talaʻofa maí pea te nau maʻu ha mahino loloto ange mo ha fakamoʻoni ki he meʻa kuo nau fakaʻaongaʻí.

Teuteu ʻa e tokotaha akó: Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau kole ʻi he faʻa lotu ki he Tamai Hēvaní ke tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau ʻiloʻi ha taha kuó Ne teuteuʻi ke fanongo ki he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.
