Ko Te Temi ʼAenī Ke Tou Fai He Tonu
“ ʼO aʼu ki ʼafea takotou lotolotolua ʼo ʼuhiga mo he ʼu manatu e lua ʼe kehekehe?”—1 Hau 18:21.
1. Koteā ʼaē ʼe kehe ai totatou temi pea mo te temi muʼa?
ʼE KOUTOU tui koa ʼe ko Sehova tokotahi te ʼAtua moʼoni? ʼE koutou toe tui koa ki te fakamatala ʼi te ʼu lea faka polofeta ʼo te Tohi-Tapu, ʼe tou māʼuʼuli nei ʼi te temi ʼo “te u aho fakamuli” ʼo te tuʼu agakovi ʼa Satana? (2 Timoteo 3:1) Kapau ʼe koutou tui ki ai, pea ʼe tonu anai ke koutou fai ʼi te temi nei he tonu. ʼO mole hage ko te temi muʼa, ʼe lahi ʼaupito ʼi te temi nei te hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe tonu ke hāofaki.
2. Koteā ʼaē neʼe hoko ʼi te ʼu telepi e hogofulu ʼo te puleʼaga ʼo Iselaele lolotoga te pule ʼa te Hau ko Akape?
2 ʼI te hogofulu sēkulō ʼi muʼa ʼo totatou temi, neʼe ʼi ai te tonu maʼuhiga neʼe tonu ke fai e te puleʼaga ʼo Iselaele. Ko ai ʼaē ka nātou tauhi ki ai? Ko te Hau ko Akape, ʼaki te fakaneke ʼo tona ʼohoana pagani ko Sesapele, neʼe ina fakatuʼu ia te tauhi ʼo Paale ʼi te ʼu telepi e hogofulu ʼo te puleʼaga ʼo Iselaele. Neʼe ʼui ko Paale neʼe ko te ʼatua fakamaʼuli kele, pea neʼe ʼui ʼe ko ia ʼaē ʼe ina fakatō te ʼua pea mo faka mahu te ʼu taʼukai. Tokolahi te kau atolasio ʼa Paale neʼe nātou fekita peʼe nātou tulolo iā muʼa ʼo te fakatātā ʼo tanatou tamapua. Ke tapuaki e Paale tanatou ʼu taʼukai pea mo tanatou ʼu faga manu, neʼe fai e te kau atolasio he ʼu felāveʼi fakasino heʼe ʼaoga mo te ʼu fafine paomutu ʼo te fale lotu. Ko tanatou tahi agamāhani neʼe ko te hifihifi ʼo tonatou sino ke hali tonatou toto.—1 Hau 18:28.
3. Koteā ʼaē neʼe hoko ki te hahaʼi ʼa te ʼAtua ʼuhi ko te tauhi ʼaē neʼe fai kiā Paale?
3 Ko te kau Iselaele e toko 7 000 neʼe mole nātou kau ki te tauhi ʼaia, he neʼe fai ʼaki he ʼu agamālohi, mo fai ki he ʼu tamapua, pea mo fai ʼaki ni ʼu felāveʼi fakasino heʼe ʼaoga. (1 Hau 19:18) Neʼe nātou pipiki maʼu ki te fuakava ʼaē neʼe nātou fai mo Sehova ʼAtua, pea neʼe fakatagaʼi ai nātou. Ohage la, tokolahi te ʼu polofeta ʼa Sehova neʼe fakapōgi e te Fafine ʼAliki ko Sesapele. (1 Hau 18:4, 13) ʼUhi ko te ʼu ʼaluʼaga faigataʼa ʼaia, tokolahi te kau Iselaele neʼe nātou mulimuli kiā lotu e lua, ʼo nātou faiga ke leleiʼia nātou e Sehova pea mo Paale. Kae ko he Iselaele neʼe lītuʼa kiā Sehova ʼo tauhi ki he ʼatua hala, neʼe ko he ʼapositasia ia. Neʼe fakapapau e Sehova ʼe ina tapuakina anai te kau Iselaele mo kapau ʼe nātou ʼoʼofa kiā te ia pea mo fakalogo ki tana ʼu fakatotonu. Kae neʼe ina fakatokagaʼi age kiā nātou, kapau ʼe mole nātou “tauhi ʼāteaina pe” kiā te ia, pea ʼe fakaʼauha anai nātou.—Teutalonome 5:6-10; 28:15, 63.
4. Koteā ʼaē neʼe fakakikite e Sesu pea mo tana kau ʼapositolo ʼe hoko anai ʼi te kau Kilisitiano, pea neʼe hoko feafeaʼi te faʼahi ʼaia?
4 ʼE toe feiā ʼi te Keletiate iā ʼaho nei. ʼE lau e te hahaʼi ʼe nātou Kilisitiano, kae ko tonatou ʼu ʼaho fakafiafia, mo tanatou aga, pea mo tanatou ʼu akonaki ʼe mole ʼalutahi ia mo te ʼu akonaki ʼa te Tohi-Tapu. Ohage pe ko Sesapele, ko te kau takitaki lotu ʼo te Keletiate ʼe nātou uga ia te hahaʼi ke nātou fakatagaʼi te kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova. ʼO ʼuhiga mo te kau takitaki lotu ʼa te Keletiate, ʼe lahi te ʼu fakamatala ʼi te hisitolia ʼo tanatou lagolago ki te ʼu tau pea ʼe tupu ko nātou te mamate ʼa te ʼu lauʼi miliona hahaʼi ʼo tanatou lotu. Ko te lagolago ʼaia ʼa te lotu ki te ʼu puleʼaga ʼo te malamanei, ʼe fakatātā ʼi te Tohi-Tapu ki he fai folonikasio fakalaumālie. (Apokalipesi 18:2, 3) Tahi ʼaē meʼa, ʼaki te temi neʼe tali ʼi te Keletiate ia te fai folonikasio, māʼiape la mo te fai folonikasio ʼa te kau takitaki lotu. Neʼe fakakikite e Sesu Kilisito pea mo tana kau ʼapositolo ia te ʼapositasia lahi ʼaia. (Mateo 13:36-43; Gaue 20:29, 30; 2 Petelo 2:1, 2) Koteā anai ka hoko ki te tahi miliale tupu hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe kau ki te Keletiate? Pea koteā te maʼua ʼa te kau atolasio moʼoni ʼa Sehova kiā nātou ʼaia pea mo te hahaʼi fuli ʼaē neʼe kākāʼi e te lotu hala? ʼE tou maʼu te tali ki te ʼu fehuʼi ʼaia ʼi tatatou vakaʼi te ʼu meʼa fakaʼofaʼofa neʼe hoko ʼo iku ki te ‘molehi ʼo Paale ʼi Iselaele.’—2 Hau 10:28.
Neʼe ʼOfa Te ʼAtua Ki Tana Hahaʼi Logogataʼa
5. Neʼe fakahā feafeaʼi e Sehova tona ʼofa ki tana hahaʼi logogataʼa?
5 ʼE mole ko he meʼa fakafiafia kiā Sehova ʼAtua te tauteaʼi ʼo nātou ʼaē ʼe mole nonofo agatonu kiā te ia. Ohage he Tāmai ʼofa, ʼe ina loto ke fakahemala te hahaʼi agakovi pea ke nātou toe liliu kiā te ia. (Esekiele 18:32; 2 Petelo 3:9) Moʼo fakamoʼoni kiai, neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi e Sehova te ʼu polofeta ʼi te temi ʼo Akape pea mo Sesapele, moʼo fakatokagaʼi age ki Tana hahaʼi te ʼu fua kovi ʼo te tauhi kiā Paale. Neʼe kau Elia ʼi te ʼu polofeta ʼaia. Hili te hoge fakamataku ʼaē neʼe fakakikite, neʼe ʼui e Elia ki te Hau ko Akape ke ina fakatahitahiʼi te kau Iselaele pea mo te ʼu polofeta ʼa Paale ʼi te Moʼuga ʼo Kalemeli.—1 Hau 18:1, 19.
6, 7. (a) Neʼe fakahā feafeaʼi e Elia te tupuʼaga tāfito ʼo te ʼapositasia ʼa Iselaele? (b) Koteā ʼaē neʼe fai e te ʼu polofeta ʼa Paale? (c) Koteā ʼaē neʼe fai e Elia?
6 Neʼe fai te fakatahi ʼaia ʼi te potu ʼaē neʼe tuʼu ai te ʼaletale ʼa Sehova ʼaē neʼe “maumauʼi” moʼo lagi fakafiafia kiā Sesapele. (1 Hau 18:30) Meʼa fakaʼofaʼofa foki, heʼe ko te kau Iselaele ʼaē neʼe fakatahi ai neʼe mole nātou ʼiloʼi papau—peʼe ko Sehova peʼe ko Paale— ʼaē ka ina fakatō moʼoni anai te ʼua. Neʼe fakafofoga ia Paale e te toko 450 kau polofeta, kae ko te polofeta pe e tahi ʼaē neʼe ina fakafofoga ia Sehova, neʼe ko Elia. Neʼe talanoa Elia ki te tupuʼaga tāfito ʼo te hoko ʼo te fihifihia ʼaia, ʼo ina ʼui fēnei: “ ʼO aʼu ki ʼafea takotou lotolotolua ki he ʼu manatu e lua ʼe kehekehe?” Pea neʼe ina tala fakahagatonu age kiā nātou te tonu ʼaē ʼe tonu ke nātou fai: “Kapau ko Sehova te ʼAtua moʼoni, koutou mulimuli kiā te ia; kae kapau ko Paale, koutou mulimuli kiā ia.” Moʼo uga ʼo te kau Iselaele lotolotolua ke nātou tauhi ʼāteaina pe kiā Sehova, neʼe ʼui e Elia ke fai he ʼahiʼahi moʼo vakaʼi peʼe ko ai te ʼAtua moʼoni. Ko pipi e lua neʼe matehi ke sākilifisioʼi, ko te tahi kiā Sehova pea ko te tahi age kiā Paale. ʼE ko te ʼAtua moʼoni ʼaē ka ina tutu anai tana sākilifisio. Neʼe kua tokalelei te ʼu sākilifisio ʼa te kau polofeta ʼa Paale, pea lolotoga ni ʼu hola neʼe nātou haga kalaga fēnei: “Ê Paale, tali mai kiā mātou!” ʼI te kamata manukiʼi nātou e Elia, neʼe nātou hifihifi tonatou sino ke hali tonatou toto, pea mo nātou kalaga leʼo lahi. Kae neʼe mole fai age he tali kiā nātou.—1 Hau 18:21, 26-29.
7 Neʼe ko te temi leva ʼaē ʼo Elia. ʼUluaki, neʼe ina fakatokatoka te ʼaletale ʼa Sehova pea ina hili kiai te ʼu koga ʼo te pipi kei mui. Pea neʼe ina fakatotonu ke huaʼi te ʼu foʼi ʼutuʼaga vai lalahi e fā ki te sākilifisio. Neʼe fai tuʼa tolu ia te faʼahi ʼaia ʼo aʼu ki te fonu vai mo te ʼu luo ʼaē neʼe keli ʼi te ʼu tafaʼaki ʼo te ʼaletale. Pea neʼe faikole fēnei ia Elia: “Ê Sehova, te ʼAtua ʼo Apalahamo, mo Isaake, pea mo Iselaele, ke nātou ʼiloʼi ʼi te ʼaho ʼaenī ʼe ko koe te ʼAtua ʼo Iselaele, pea ko au tau kaugana pea ʼaki tau folafola neʼe au fai te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaenī. Tali mai kiā te au, Ê Sehova, tali mai kiā te au, ke feala ai ki te hahaʼi ke nātou ʼiloʼi ko koe, Sehova, te ʼAtua moʼoni pea neʼe ko koe ʼaē neʼe ke fakatafoki tonatou loto.”—1 Hau 18:30-37.
8. Neʼe tali feafeaʼi e te ʼAtua ki te faikole ʼa Elia, pea ko te tonu fea ʼaē neʼe fai e te polofeta?
8 Neʼe tali e te ʼAtua moʼoni ʼo ina tutu te sākilifisio pea mo te ʼaletale ʼaki te afi mai lagi. ʼAki te afi ʼaia neʼe maha ai mo te vai ʼaē neʼe ʼi te luo ʼi te ʼu tafaʼaki ʼo te ʼaletale! Koutou fakakaukauʼi age muʼa pe neʼe malave feafeaʼi ki te kau Iselaele. “Neʼe nātou punonou atu aipe pea nātou ʼui fēnei: ‘Ko Sehova ʼe ko te ʼAtua moʼoni! Ko Sehova ʼe ko te ʼAtua moʼoni!’ ” Neʼe fai leva e Elia te tonu maʼuhiga, ʼo ina fakatotonu fēnei ki te kau Iselaele: “Koutou puke te kau polofeta ʼa Paale! Ke ʼaua naʼa fakahāo he tahi!” Ko te toko 450 kau polofeta fuli ʼa Paale neʼe matehi ʼi te vaʼe Moʼuga ʼo Kalemeli.—1 Hau 18:38-40.
9. Neʼe toe ʼahiʼahiʼi feafeaʼi te kau atolasio moʼoni?
9 ʼI te ʼaho maʼuhiga ʼaia, neʼe fakatō e Sehova te ʼua ki te fenua ʼaē neʼe mole ʼua talu mai taʼu e tolu vaelua. (Sakopo 5:17, 18) Koutou fakakaukauʼi age muʼa te ʼu palalau ʼaē neʼe fai e te kau Iselaele ʼi tanatou toe liliu ki tonatou ʼu ʼapi; neʼe fakatonuhia e Sehova tona ʼuhiga ʼAtua moʼoni. Kae neʼe mole lotovaivavai ai te kau atolasio ʼa Paale. Neʼe hoko atu e Sesapele tana fakatagaʼi ia te ʼu kaugana ʼa Sehova. (1 Hau 19:1, 2; 21:11-16) Neʼe toe ʼahiʼahiʼi ai te nofo agatonu ʼa te hahaʼi ʼa te ʼAtua. ʼE nātou lolotoga tauhi ʼāteaina pe anai koa kiā Sehova ʼi te ʼaho ʼaē ka ina fakaʼauha ai te kau atolasio ʼa Paale?
Tou Fai He Tonu ʼi Te Temi Nei
10. (a) ʼI totatou temi, koteā ʼaē neʼe fai e te kau Kilisitiano fakanofo? (b) Koteā te faka ʼuhiga ʼo te fakalogo ʼaē ki te fakatotonu ʼaē iā Apokalipesi 18:4?
10 ʼI totatou temi, neʼe tatau te gāue ʼa te kau Kilisitiano fakanofo pea mo te gāue ʼa Elia. ʼAki tanatou ʼu palalau pea mo te ʼu tohi, neʼe nātou fakatokagaʼi ki te hahaʼi ʼo te ʼu puleʼaga fuli ʼaē ʼe kau ki te Keletiate peʼe ko te tahi ʼu lotu, te kovi ʼaē ʼo te kau ki te lotu hala. Ko te ʼu lauʼi miliona hahaʼi neʼe nātou fai ai te tonu ke fakagata tanatou kau ki te lotu hala. Neʼe nātou foaki tonatou maʼuli kiā Sehova pea mo liliu ai ko he ʼu tisipulo ʼa Sesu Kilisito kua papitema. Ei, neʼe nātou manatuʼi te kole maʼuhiga ʼa te ʼAtua ʼo ʼuhiga mo te lotu hala: “Koutou mavae maia te ia, taku hahai! Naa koutou kau ki tana u agahala, naa koutou vaevae mo ia ona tautea.”—Apokalipesi 18:4.
11. Koteā ʼaē ʼe tonu ke tou fai ke leleiʼia tatou e Sehova?
11 Ko te tahi ʼu lauʼi miliona hahaʼi, logola tanatou leleiʼia te logo faka Tohi-Tapu ʼaē ʼe faka mafola e te kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova, kae ʼe kei nātou lotolotolua ʼo ʼuhiga mo te meʼa ʼaē ʼe tonu ke nātou fai. Ko ʼihi iā nātou ʼaia ʼe nātou ʼōmai ʼi ʼihi temi ki te ʼu fono, ohage ko te fakamanatu ʼo te Taumafa ʼa te ʼAliki peʼe ko ʼihi ʼu akonaki ʼi te ʼu fakatahi faka tisitilike. ʼE tou fakaloto mālohiʼi ia nātou fuli ʼaia ke nātou fakakaukauʼi lelei te ʼu palalau ʼaenī neʼe fai e Elia: “ ʼO aʼu ki ʼafea takotou mole ʼiloʼi te meʼa ʼe tonu ke koutou fai.” (1 Hau 18:21, New English Bible) ʼE mole tonu ke nātou fakatuatuai, kae ke nātou fai he tonu ʼi te temi nei pea mo nātou faiga mālohi ke nātou liliu ko he kau atolasio ʼa Sehova kua foaki tonatou maʼuli kiā te ia pea mo papitema. ʼE fakalogo kiai tonatou maʼuli heʼegata.—2 Tesalonika 1:6-9.
12. Koteā te ʼaluʼaga fakatupu tuʼutāmaki kua tō kiai ʼihi kau Kilisitiano, pea koteā ʼaē ʼe tonu ke nātou fai?
12 Meʼa fakaʼofaʼofa, ko ʼihi kau Kilisitiano kua papitema kua nātou tōtō ʼi te ʼu fono pea mole kei nātou faʼafai ʼi tanatou tauhi. (Hepeleo 10:23-25; 13:15, 16) Mole kei faʼafai ʼihi ʼuhi ko tanatou mātataku ʼi te ʼu fakataga, peʼe ko te tuʼania ʼo ʼuhiga mo te maʼuli, peʼe ko tanatou faiga ʼaē ke nātou maʼu koloā, peʼe ko te kumi ʼo te ʼu fakafiafia. Neʼe ʼui e Sesu ko te ʼu faʼahi ʼaia ʼe nātou fakatupu tūkia anai ki tana ʼu tisipulo, mo tāʼofi nātou pea mo liliu ko he ʼu hele kiā nātou. (Mateo 10:28-33; 13:20-22; Luka 12:22-31; 21:34-36) ʼE mole tonu ke nātou ‘lotolotolua ki he ʼu manatu e lua,’ kae ke nātou “faafai pea mo fakahemala,” ʼo nātou fai te tonu ʼaē ke nātou fakahoko tanatou fakapapau ʼaē ki te ʼAtua.—Apokalipesi 3:15-19.
ʼE Pulihi Fakafokifā Anai Te Lotu Hala
13. Koutou fakamatala te ʼaluʼaga ʼo Iselaele ʼi te temi ʼaē neʼe fakanofo ai ia Sehu ki te tuʼulaga hau.
13 Ko te tupuʼaga ʼaē ʼe tonu ai ke fai e te hahaʼi he tonu ʼi te temi nei, neʼe hā ʼi te meʼa ʼaē neʼe hoko ʼi Iselaele, hili taʼu e teitei 18 ʼi te ʼosi ʼiloʼi ʼaē peʼe ko ai te ʼAtua moʼoni ʼi te Moʼuga ʼo Kalemeli. Ko te ʼaho ʼo Sehova moʼo fakamāuʼi ʼo te tauhi ʼo Paale neʼe hoko fakafokifā pea mo fakapunamaʼuli lolotoga te minisitelio ʼo Eliseo, te polofeta ʼaē neʼe ina fetogi ia Elia. Ko te foha ʼo te Hau ko Akape, ia Seolame, neʼe pule ki Iselaele, pea neʼe kei maʼuli te fineʼaliki ko Sesapele. Neʼe fekauʼi fakafūfū e Eliseo tana tagata kaugana ke ina fakanofo ia Sehu, te pule ʼo te kautau ʼo Iselaele, ke liliu ko te hau foʼou. ʼI te temi ʼaia, ko Sehu neʼe ʼi te potu esite ʼo Solotane ʼi Lamote-kileate, ʼo ina takitaki te fehōkosi ʼaē neʼe fai ki te ʼu fili ʼo Iselaele. Ko te Hau ko Seolame neʼe ʼi Siseleele, ʼi te malaʼe ʼaē ʼe ōvi ki Mekito, moʼo faitoʼo tona ʼu lavea ʼi te tau.—2 Hau 8:29–9:4.
14, 15. Koteā te fakatotonu ʼaē neʼe fai kiā Sehu, pea neʼe ina tali feafeaʼi?
14 Koʼeni te fakatotonu ʼaē neʼe fai e Sehova kiā Sehu: “ ʼE tonu anai ke ke maumauʼi te ʼapi ʼo Akape tou ʼaliki, pea ʼe au lagavaka anai ʼo ʼuhiga mo te toto ʼo taku ʼu kaugana te kau polofeta pea mo te toto ʼo te ʼu kaugana fuli ʼa Sehova, mai te nima ʼo Sesapele. Pea ʼe tonu anai ke mamate te ʼapi fuli ʼo Akape; . . . ʼE kai anai Sesapele e te ʼu kuli ʼi te kele ʼo Siseleele, pea ʼe mole he tahi ʼe ina tanu anai ia ia.”—2 Hau 9:7-10.
15 Ko Sehu neʼe ko he tagata neʼe poto ʼi te fai fakavilivili ʼo he ʼu tonu. Neʼe mole tuai, pea neʼe kake ki tana saliote pea ʼalu ki Siseleele. Ko te tagata leʼo ʼi Siseleele neʼe ina ʼiloʼi te faʼahiga taki ʼa Sehu ia tana saliote, pea ina tala age ki te Hau ko Seolame, ʼo kake ai ia Seolame ki tana saliote pea ʼalu ʼo faka felāveʼi mo te pule ʼo tana kautau. ʼI tanā fetaulaki, neʼe fehuʼi fēnei e Seolame: “ ʼE ʼi ai koa te tokalelei, Sehu?” Neʼe tali fēnei age e Sehu: “Ko te tokalelei fea kae kei fai e tau faʼē ia Sesapele tana ʼu fai folonikasio pea mo tana ʼu gaohi meʼa faka temonio?” Pea neʼe mole lava hola ia te Hau ko Seolame, he neʼe toʼo e Sehu tana kauʼi nahau ʼo ina kaloloʼi ia te mafu ʼo Seolame pea mate ai.—2 Hau 9:20-24.
16. (a) Koteā te tonu neʼe tonu ke foimo fai e te ʼu ofisie ʼa Sesapele? (b) Neʼe hoko feafeaʼi te folafola ʼa Sehova ʼo ʼuhiga mo Sesapele?
16 Hili pe ʼaia, pea ʼalu ia Sehu ʼi tana saliote ki te kolo. Ko Sesapele, ʼaē neʼe pena lahi tona ʼu mata, neʼe sio ifo mai tona matapā fakamālama, pea neʼe palalau age kiā Sehu ʼaki he ʼu palalau fakamatakutaku. Neʼe mole tokagaʼi ia ia e Sehu, kae neʼe ina kole ki niʼihi ke nātou ʼolo age ʼo tokoni kiā ia, ʼo ina ʼui fēnei: “Ko ai ʼaē ʼe kau mo au?

Neʼe ʼahiʼahiʼi ʼi te temi ʼaia tanatou agatonu. Neʼe fakatotonu fēnei e Sehu: “Koutou fakatō ifo ia ia!” Pea neʼe fakatō ifo ia ia e te ʼu ofisie ʼaia ki te ala ʼi lalo, ʼo molomoloki ai e te ʼu hōsi pea mo te saliote ʼa Sehu. Koia neʼe matehi ai te fafine ʼaē neʼe ina fakatupu ia te tauhi kiā Paale ʼi Iselaele. Neʼe mole tanu ia ia, he neʼe kai e te ʼu kuli te ʼu koga ʼo tona sino, ohage pe ko tona fakakikite.—2 Hau 9:30-37.
17. Ko te fakamāu ʼaē neʼe fai e te ʼAtua kiā Sesapele ʼe tonu ke ina fakaloto mālohi tatatou tui ʼo ʼuhiga mo te faʼahi fea ʼaē ka hoko ʼi te ka haʼu?
17 ʼE toe feiā pe anai te matehi ʼo te fafine paomutu fakatātā ʼaē ʼe higoa ko “Papiloni Lahi.” Ko te fafine paomutu ʼaia ʼe ina fakatātā te ʼu lotu hala ʼo te mālama ʼa Satana, ʼaē ko tona haʼuʼaga ʼe ko te kolo ʼāfea ʼo Papiloni. ʼI te ʼosi pulihi ʼo te lotu hala, ʼe maliu anai ia Sehova ʼAtua ʼo fakatūʼā ia te hahaʼi fuli ʼaē ʼe kau ki te mālama ʼa Satana. ʼE toe fakaʼauha anai mo nātou, ke feala ke fakatuʼu te mālama foʼou pea mo faitotonu.—Apokalipesi 17:3-6, MN; 19:19-21; 21:1-4.
18. ʼI te ʼosi mate ʼa Sesapele, koteā ʼaē neʼe hoko ki te kau atolasio ʼa Paale ʼi Iselaele?
18 ʼI te ʼosi mate ʼa Sesapele, neʼe matehi atu aipe e te Hau ko Sehu te hōloga fuli ʼo Akape pea mo nātou ʼaē neʼe lagolago tāfito kiā ia. (2 Hau 10:11) Kae neʼe kei tokolahi te kau Iselaele neʼe tauhi kiā Paale ʼi te fenua. Pea neʼe fai e Sehu te tonu moʼo fakahā tana “mole tali he fakafeagai kiā Sehova.” (2 Hau 10:16) Neʼe fai kākā ia Sehu ʼo ina lau ʼe tauhi kiā Paale, pea neʼe ina fai he fakafiafia lahi ʼi te fale lotu ʼo Paale ʼaē neʼe laga e Akape ʼi Samalia. Ko te kau atolasio fuli ʼa Paale ʼi Iselaele neʼe nātou ʼōmai ki te fakafiafia ʼaia. Neʼe fakamaʼu nātou ʼi te fale lotu, pea neʼe matehi fuli ai nātou e te ʼu tagata ʼa Sehu. ʼE fakaʼosi fēnei te fakamatala ʼi te Tohi-Tapu: “Pea neʼe molehi e Sehu ia Paale ʼi Iselaele.”—2 Hau 10:18-28.
