ʼI TE taʼu 46 H.T.S., neʼe hoko te toe hoge lahi ʼi Sutea. Neʼe totogi kovi te meʼa kai he neʼe kua tahitahiga. Koia neʼe pakupaku ai te ʼu tisipulo ʼa Kilisito ʼae ʼi Sutea ʼuhi neʼe mole hanatou foʼi falā moʼo totogi hanatou meʼa kai. Kaʼe neʼe natou sisio ki te haofaki ʼo natou e Sehova ʼi hona aluʼaga neʼe heʼeki hoko ki te ʼu tisipulo ʼa Kilisito. Kotea ʼae neʼe hoko?
2 Ko te kau Kilisitiano Sutea pea mo natou ʼae neʼe mole Sutea ʼi te kolo ko Atiokia ʼi Silia, neʼe natou tanaki he falā maʼa ʼonatou tehina ʼae neʼe ʼi Selusalemi pea mo Sutea.

Koia, neʼe natou filifili ai te ʼu tehina ʼe toko lua ko Palenapa mo Saulo, ke nā fakatoʼo age te falā ʼaia ki te kau tagata ʼafeā ʼo te kokelekasio ʼo Selusalemi. (Lau ia Gaue 11:27-30; 12:25.) Fakakaukauʼi age muʼa te toe fiafia lahi ʼo te ʼu tehina ʼi Sutea ʼi te fakaha ʼo te ʼofa ʼo ʼonatou tehina ʼo Atiokia.

Koteʼuhi ka tou logo neʼe hoko he tuʼutamaki ki ʼotatou tehina ʼi he fenua peʼe natou tau mo he faigataʼaia, pea ʼe tou tokoni kia natou. * Ke tou mahino pe ʼe kau tatatou tokoni ʼaia ki tatatou minisitelio, tou vakaʼi te ʼu fehuʼi ʼaeni ʼe tolu: He ko ʼe ko te ʼu tokoni ʼae ʼe tou foaki ki ʼotatou tehina ʼe kau ki tatatou minisitelio? Kotea te ʼu tupuʼaga ʼo tatatou tokoni ʼaia? Kotea te ʼu fua lelei ʼe tou maʼu mai ai?
Ko Tatatou Tokoni Moka Hoko He Tuʼutamaki ʼe Kau Ki Te Tauhi Taputapu
4. Kotea ʼae neʼe ui e Paulo ki te kau Kolinito ʼo ʼuhiga mo te minisitelio Fakakilisitiano?
4 ʼI tana lua tohi ki te kau Kolinito, neʼe fakamahino e Paulo ʼe ko faʼahi ʼe lua ʼe kau ki te minisitelio ʼa te kau Kilisitiano. Logo la neʼe faitohi ia Paulo ki te kau Kilisitiano fakanofo, kaʼe ʼe toe fakaʼuhiga pe foki ki te tahi ʼu ovi ʼa Kilisito ia ʼaho nei. (Soa. 10:16) Ko te ʼuluaki faʼahi ʼo totatou minisitelio ʼe ko “te gaue o te fakatokatoka,” ʼae ʼe ko tatatou gaue faifakamafola pea mo faiako. (2 Ko. 5:18-20; 1 Tim. 2:3-6) Pea lua, ʼe ko tatatou “tokoni” ki ʼotatou tehina, ohage ko tona ui e Paulo. (2 Ko. 8:4) Ko te ʼu kupu “gaue” pea mo “tokoni” ʼe ko te fakaliliu ʼaia ʼo te kupu Fakakeleka diakonia, ʼae ʼe fakaʼuhiga ki te kupu “minisitelio.” Kotea ʼae ʼe feala ke tou mahino ai?
5. He ko ʼe neʼe ui e Paulo ko te tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina moka hoko he tuʼutamaki ʼe kau ki te minisitelio?
5 ʼI te fakaʼaogaʼi e Paulo ia te kupu Fakakeleka ʼe tahi moʼo talanoa ki te ʼu gaue ʼaia ʼe lua, neʼe ina ui ai ko te tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina moka hoko he tuʼutamaki ʼe kau ki te ʼu minisitelio kehekehe ʼae ʼe fakahoko ʼi te kokelekasio. ʼI tana ʼuluaki tohi ki te kau Kolinito, neʼe ina ui fenei: “[ʼE ʼi ai] te u tauhi kehekehe, kae ko te Aliki pe e tahi; mo te u gaue kehekehe . . . [kaʼe] ko te Laumalie e tahi ae e ina fai te u mea fuli aia.” (1 Ko. 12:4-6, 11) Neʼe ui e Paulo ko te ʼu minisitelio kehekehe ʼae ʼe fakahoko ʼi te kokelekasio ʼe kau ki te tauhi taputapu. * (Loma 12:1, 6-8) Koia ʼe mole tou punamaʼuli ai ki tana lotolelei ʼo fakaʼaogaʼi tona temi moʼo “tokoni” ki te kau maʼoniʼoni.—Loma 15:25, 26.
6. (1) Ohage ko tona fakamahino e Paulo, he ko ʼe ko tatatou tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina ʼe kau ki tatatou tauhi kia Sehova? (2) Fakamatala pe kotea te ʼu fakatuʼutuʼu kua fai ʼi te malamanei katoa moka hoko he tuʼutamaki? (Vakaʼi te fakamatala ʼae ʼi te ʼa takai “ Ka Hoko He Tuʼutamaki,” ʼi te pasina 214.)
6 Neʼe tokoni ia Paulo ki te kau Kolinito ke natou mahino pe ko ʼe ko te tokoni ki te ʼu tehina moka hoko he tuʼutamaki ʼe kau ki tanatou minisitelio pea mo tanatou tauhi kia Sehova. Neʼe ina ui ʼe foaki e te kau Kilisitiano ia te tokoni he ʼe natou “fakalogo ki . . . te Evaselio a Kilisito.” (2 Ko. 9:13) Koia, ʼe tokoni te kau Kilisitiano ki ʼonatou tehina he ʼe natou fia maʼuliʼi ia te ʼu akonaki ʼa Kilisito. Pea ohage ko tona ui e Paulo, ko tanatou tokoni ʼe ko te fakaha ʼo te ʼofa makehe ʼo te ʼAtua. (2 Ko. 9:14; 1 Pet. 4:10) ʼO ʼuhiga mo te tokoni ʼae ki ʼotatou tehina moka hoko he tuʼutamaki, neʼe ui fenei ʼi Te Tule Leʼo ʼo te ʼaho 1 ʼo Malesio 1976 (Fakafalani): “ʼE tonu ke tou tui papau ʼe maʼuhiga ʼaupito kia Sehova ʼAtua pea mo tona ʼAlo ko Sesu Kilisito te gaue ʼaia.” Koia, ko te tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina moka hoko he tuʼutamaki ʼe ko he faʼahi maʼuhiga ʼo tatatou tauhi taputapu.—Loma 12:1, 7; 2 Ko. 8:7; Hep. 13:16.
Te ʼu Tupuʼaga ʼo Tatatou Foaki He ʼu Tokoni
7, 8. Kotea te ʼuluaki tupuʼaga ʼo tatatou tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina moka hoko he tuʼutamaki? Fakamahino.
7 Kotea te ʼu tupuʼaga ʼo tatatou foaki he ʼu tokoni moka hoko he tuʼutamaki? Neʼe tali e Paulo ki ai ʼi tana lua tohi ki te kau Kolinito. (Lau ia 2 Kolinito 9:11-15.) ʼI te ʼu vaega ʼaia, ʼe fakaha lelei e Paulo te ʼu tupuʼaga ʼe tolu. Tou vakaʼi takitahi te ʼu tupuʼaga ʼaia.
8 ʼUluaki, ka tou tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina moka hoko he tuʼutamaki pea ʼe fakakololiaʼi ai ia Sehova. ʼE feala ke tou tokagaʼi te talanoa tuʼa lahi ʼa Paulo ki ʼona tehina ʼo ʼuhiga mo Sehova ʼAtua ʼi te ʼu vaega ʼaia ʼe nima. ʼE talanoa ki “ni fakafetai ki te Atua” pea mo “ni fakafetai lahi ki te Atua.” (Vaega 11, 12) ʼE ina toe fakaha mo te ‘fakakololia ʼa te kau Kilisitiano ki te ʼAtua’ ʼuhi ko te ʼu tokoni ʼae neʼe fai kia natou pea mo tanatou fakafetaʼi ki “te kalasia mauhiga ae kua fai e te Atua” kia natou. (Vaega 13, 14) Pea ʼe fakaʼosi fenei e Paulo: “Ke fakafetai ki te Atua.”—Vaega 15; 1 Pet. 4:11.
9. ʼE lava fetogi feafeaʼi te mahalohalo ʼa te hahaʼi ʼaki tatatou fetokoniʼaki moka hoko he tuʼutamaki? Tuku mai he faʼifaʼitaki.
9 ʼE tatau te manatu ʼa te ʼu kaugana ʼa te ʼAtua ia ʼaho nei mo te apositolo ko Paulo. Kia natou, ko te foaki ʼo te ʼu tokoni moka hoko he tuʼutamaki ʼe fakakololiaʼi ia Sehova pea mo hikihiki ai ʼana akonaki. (1 Ko. 10:31; Tito 2:10) ʼI tona fakahagatonu, ʼe feala ʼi ʼihi temi ke fetogi ai te mahalohalo ʼa ʼihi ʼo ʼuhiga mo Sehova pea mo ʼana kaugana. Ohage la ko te fafine neʼe maʼuli ʼi te koga meʼa neʼe hoko ai te afā. Neʼe ina tohi fenei ʼi tona muʼa matapa: “ʼE Tapu Ki Te Kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova.” Pea neʼe sio leva te fafine ʼaia ki te toe faʼu ʼo te ʼapi neʼe fehagaʼaki mo tona ʼapi. Lolotoga ni ʼaho, neʼe mamata ki te kau gaue ʼaia neʼe natou felogoʼi lelei, pea neʼe ina fia iloʼi pe ko ai ia natou. ʼI tana kua iloʼi ʼae neʼe ko te kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova, neʼe punamaʼuli ai pea neʼe ina ui fenei: “Neʼe au faihala ʼo ʼuhiga mo koutou.” Pea neʼe ina toʼo ai te meʼa ʼae neʼe tohi ʼi tona matapa.
10, 11. (1) Kotea he ʼu fakamatala ʼe fakaha ai te lua tupuʼaga ʼo tatatou tokoni? (2) Kotea te kaupepa ʼae neʼe fai maʼa te ʼu komite tokoni maʼuli? (Vakaʼi te fakamatala ʼae ʼi te ʼa takai “ Te Kaupepa ʼe Fakaʼaogaʼi e Te ʼu Komite Tokoni Maʼuli.”)
10 Lua, ʼe tou “foaki . . . te u mea ae e aoga” ki ʼotatou tehina. (2 Ko. 9:12) ʼE tou holi malohi ke foaki ki ʼotatou tehina mo tuagaʼane te ʼu meʼa ʼae ʼe ʼaoga kia natou pea mo fakamaʼamaʼa tonatou lotomamahi. Koteʼuhi ko tatou fuli ʼe ko “te sino pe e tahi.” Pea “kapau e mamahi he kogasino e tahi, e mamahi te u kogasino fuli fakatahi mo ia.” (1 Ko. 12:20, 26) Koia, ʼe ko te ʼofa fakatautehina ʼae ʼe ina uga ai ni tehina mo tuagaʼane ia ʼaho nei ke natou tuku ’anatou fakatuʼutuʼu, mo natou tanaki ʼanatou meʼa gaue pea mo olo ʼo tokoni ki te ʼu tehina ʼae neʼe hoko kia natou he tuʼutamaki. (Sakp. 2:15, 16) Ohage la ko te hake ʼo te galu ʼae neʼe hoko ʼi Saponia ʼi te taʼu 2011. Neʼe fai e te filiale ʼo Amelika ia he tohi ki te ʼu Komite Laga Fale Fakakolo ʼo Amelika. Neʼe natou kole ai “he ʼu tehina ʼe faiva” ke natou tokoni ki te toe laga ʼo te ʼu Fale Fono ʼi Saponia. Hili ni vahaʼa, ko te teitei toko 600 kau gaue neʼe natou fia tokoni pea mo lotolelei ke natou totogi ʼanatou tohi folau ʼae ki Saponia. Neʼe ui fenei e te filiale ʼo Amelika: “Neʼe matou punamaʼuli ki te kaugā malie ʼo te kau gaue.” Neʼe fakalavelave e te tehina ʼi Saponia ki te tehina mai te tahi fenua te tupuʼaga ʼo tana fia tokoni kia natou. Neʼe tali fenei age e te tehina: “Ko tatou fuli mo te ʼu tehina ʼo Saponia ʼe tou faʼu he sino ʼe tahi. ʼE matou logoʼi mo matou ʼonatou mamahi.” ʼI ʼihi temi, neʼe feala ke mamate ʼihi ʼi tanatou fia tokoni ʼae ki ʼonatou tehina, ʼuhi ko tonatou ʼoʼofa lahi kia natou. *—1 Soa. 3:16.
11 ʼE toe fakaha e te hahaʼi ʼae ʼe mole ko he kau Fakamoʼoni tanatou leleiʼia tatatou tokoni. Ohage la ko te tuʼutamaki fakanatula ʼae neʼe hoko ʼi te kolo lahi ko Arkansas, ʼi Amelika ʼi te taʼu 2013. Neʼe fakamatala ʼi te nusipepa ia te olo fakavilivili ʼa

Neʼe ui fenei ai: “ʼE fakaofoofo te ʼu fakatuʼutuʼu pea mo te faʼahiga tokoni ʼa te kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova moka hoko he ʼu tuʼutamaki.” Koia, ohage ko tona ui e te apositolo ko Paulo, ʼe tou “foaki . . . te u mea ae e aoga” ki ʼotatou tehina.12-14. (1) He ko ʼe ʼe maʼuhiga ʼaupito te tolu tupuʼaga ʼo tatatou tokoni? (2) Kotea te ʼu talamanatu ʼe fakaha ai te maʼuhiga ʼae ke hoko atu te ʼu gaue fakalaumalie?
12 Tolu, ʼe tou tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina lotomamahi ke natou toe fakahoko ʼanatou gaue fakalaumalie. He ko ʼe ʼe maʼuhiga te tokoni ʼaia? ʼE ui e Paulo ko natou ʼae neʼe natou maʼu ia te tokoni ʼe natou “fakafetai lahi ki te Atua.” (2 Ko. 9:12) Pea ʼe mahino ko te meʼa lelei ʼe feala ke natou fai moʼo fakafetaʼi kia Sehova ʼe ko he toe fakahoko ʼo ʼanatou gaue fakalaumalie. (Filp. 1:10) Neʼe ui fenei ʼi Te Tule Leʼo ʼo te taʼu 1945: “Neʼe ʼio . . . Paulo ki te tanaki ʼo te ʼu meʼa ʼofa he neʼe tokoni ai ki te kau Kilisitiano . . . ʼi te faʼahi fakasino. Pea neʼe toe feala ke natou fakahoko te gaue faifakamafola ʼaki he lotomalohi.” ʼE toe tatau pe ia ʼaho nei. Ka toe faifakamafola ʼotatou tehina, ʼe natou fakalotomalohiʼi ʼonatou vahaʼa fale ʼae ʼe lotomamahi pea mo natou totonu.—Lau ia 2 Kolinito 1:3, 4.
13 Tou vakaʼi te ʼu talamanatu ʼo natou ʼae neʼe natou maʼu ia te toe tokoni lahi ʼaia, pea neʼe fakalotomalohiʼi natou ʼi tanatou toe kau ki te faifakamafola. Neʼe ui fenei e te tehina: “Neʼe ko he toe tapuakina lahi ki toku kiʼi famili te toe kau ki te faifakamafola. Koteʼuhi ʼi tamatou fakalotofimalieʼi ia te hahaʼi, neʼe fakasiʼisiʼi ai ʼamatou hoha.” Neʼe ui fenei e te tuagaʼane: “ʼI taku maʼumaʼua ʼi te ʼu gaue fakalaumalie, neʼe mole kei au tokagaʼi ia te ʼu maumau ʼae neʼe hoko. Neʼe au logoʼi ai he fimalie.” Pea neʼe ui fenei leva e te tahi tuagaʼane: “ʼE mole hokita malohi moka hoko ni aluʼaga feia. Kaʼe neʼe fakalotomalohi te faifakamafola ki tomatou kiʼi famili ʼuhi ko tamatou palalau ki te malama foʼou. Neʼe fakamalohi ai tamatou falala ʼae ʼe fakafoʼou anai e Sehova ia meʼa fuli.”
14 Ko te kau ki te ʼu fono ʼe ko te tahi gaue fakalaumalie ʼaia moʼo tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina mo tuagaʼane lotomamahi ke natou toe malolohi. Tou vakaʼi te aluʼaga neʼe hoko ki te tuagaʼane ko Kiyoko, ʼae neʼe taʼu 50 tupu ʼi te temi ʼae neʼe hoko ai te hake ʼo te galu. Neʼe lotovaivai ʼuhi neʼe mole kei ʼi ai hana ʼu meʼa, gata pe ki te ʼu mutu ʼi meʼa mo te ʼu sulie ʼae neʼe ina tui. Pea neʼe ui age e te tagata ʼafeā ʼe fai anai te fono ʼi tana motoka. ʼE ui fenei e Kiyoko: “ʼI te motoka, neʼe ko te tagata ʼafeā mo tona ʼohoana, mo te tahi kiʼi tehina pea mo au. Neʼe matou fai ai te fono pea neʼe hage leva kia au neʼe mole he tuʼutamaki neʼe hoko. Neʼe au logoʼi ʼi toku loto te tokalelei. Neʼe au mahino ai leva ki te malohi ʼo tatatou fakatahitahi mo te kau Kilisitiano.” Neʼe ui fenei e te tahi tuagaʼane ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼu fono ʼae neʼe kau ki ai hili te tuʼutamaki: “Neʼe tokoni mai te ʼu fono ke au kataki.”—Loma 1:11, 12; 12:12.
Te ʼu Fua Lelei
15, 16. (1) Kotea te ʼu lelei neʼe maʼu e te kau Kilisitiano ʼo Kolinito pea mo ʼihi atu ʼi tanatou tokoni ki ʼonatou tehina? (2) Ia ʼaho nei, ʼe tou maʼu feafeaʼi mo tatou ia te ʼu lelei ʼaia?
15 ʼI tana talanoa ʼo ʼuhiga mo te tokoni ki te ʼu tehina moka hoko he tuʼutamaki, neʼe toe fakamahino e Paulo ki te kau Kolinito ia te ʼu lelei neʼe maʼu e natou pea mo te tahi ʼu Kilisitiano ʼuhi ko tanatou tokoni ʼaia. Neʼe ina ui fenei ʼo ʼuhiga mo te kau Kilisitiano Sutea ʼi Selusalemi ʼae neʼe natou maʼu te tokoni: “E natou hufaki koutou, koteuhi e natou ofa kia koutou o uhiga mo te kalasia mauhiga ae kua fai e te Atua kia koutou.” (2 Ko. 9:14) ʼE moʼoni, ʼuhi ko te foaki lahi ʼa te kau Kolinito, ʼo kau ai mo natou ʼae neʼe mole Sutea, neʼe uga ai te kau Kilisitiano Sutea ke natou hufakiʼi natou pea neʼe toe lahi ai tonatou ʼoʼofa kia natou.
16 ʼI Te Tule Leʼo ʼo te ʼaho 1 ʼo Tesepeli 1945, neʼe fakaha ai te ʼu fua lelei ʼae neʼe talanoa ki ai Paulo. Neʼe ui fenei ai: “Fakakaukauʼi muʼa ia te logotahi ʼae ʼe hoko moka fetokoniʼaki te ʼu tehina logo la ʼonatou aluʼaga kehekehe.” ʼE ko te aluʼaga ʼaia ʼe hoko ki te kau gaue ʼae ʼe tokoni moka hoko he tuʼutamaki. ʼE ui fenei e te tagata ʼafeā neʼe tokoni ʼi te temi neʼe hoko ai te puvai: “I taku tokoni ʼaia ki ʼoku tehina mo tuagaʼane, neʼe au fakaovi lahi ai kia natou.” Pea neʼe ui fenei e te tuagaʼane neʼe tokoni ki ai te ʼu tehina: “ʼE hage ia kua tou maʼuʼuli ʼi te Palatiso ʼuhi ko totatou ʼofa fakatautehina.”—Lau ia Taaga Lea 17:17.
17. (1) ʼE hoko feafeaʼi ia te vaega ʼo Esaia 41:13 moka hoko he tuʼutamaki? (2) Fakamatala ni aluʼaga neʼe fakakololiaʼi ai ia Sehova pea mo fakamalohi ai tatatou logotahi ʼuhi ko te tokoni ʼo te ʼu tehina. (Vakaʼi mo te fakamatala ʼae ʼi te ʼa takai “ Te Tokoni ʼa Te Kau Gaue ʼi Te Malamanei Katoa.”)
17 Ka ʼomai te ʼu tehina mo tuagaʼane ʼo tokoni moka hoko he tuʼutamaki, ʼe sisio ai ʼotatou tehina lotomamahi ki te hoko Esa. 41:13) Neʼe ui fenei e te tuagaʼane neʼe hao ʼi te tuʼutamaki fakanatula: “Neʼe au lotomamahi ʼi taku sio ʼae ki te ʼu maumau, kaʼe neʼe folahi mai pe e Sehova tona nima. ʼE mole au maʼu he kupu ki te ʼu tokoni ʼae neʼe foaki mai e te ʼu tehina.” ʼI te tahi koga meʼa neʼe hoko ai te ʼu maumau, neʼe fakaha e te ʼu tagata ʼafeā ʼe toko lua te manatu ʼa te ʼu tehina mo tuagaʼane. Neʼe nā ui fenei: “Neʼe lahi tamatou lotomamahi ʼi te mafuike ʼae neʼe hoko, kaʼe neʼe matou sisio ki te tokoni ʼa Sehova kia matou ʼaki takotou tokoni mai. Neʼe matou lau te ʼu fakamatala feia, kaʼe ʼi te temi nei neʼe matou sisio mata ki ai.”
ʼo te fakapapau ʼaeni ʼa te ʼAtua: “Ko au ko [Sehova], tou Atua, ae e ina fakamalohii tou nima matau, ae e ui atu kia koe: aua naa ke mataku ki he mea, e au hau o tokoni kia koe.” (ʼE Feala Koa Ke Ke Kau Ki Ai?
18. Kotea ʼae ʼe feala ke ke fai mo kapau ʼe ke fia kau ki te tokoni moka hoko he tuʼutamaki? (Vakaʼi mo te fakamatala ʼae ʼi te ʼa takai “ Te Faʼahiga Maʼuli ʼAe ʼe Au Loto Ki Ai.”)
18 ʼE ke fia logoʼi koa ia te fiafia ʼi te ʼu tokoni ʼae moka hoko he tuʼutamaki? Kapau koia, ʼe lelei ke ke manatuʼi ʼe filifili ʼi te agamahani ia natou ʼae ʼe lagolago ki te laga ʼo te ʼu Fale Fono. Koia, kole ki te ʼu tagata ʼafeā ʼo tau kokelekasio te pepa ʼae ʼe tonu ke ke tohi ke feala hau kau ki te laga ʼo te ʼu Fale Fono. ʼE ui fenei e te tagata ʼafeā kua fualoa tana kau ki te ʼu tokoni moka hoko he tuʼutamaki: “Kapau ʼe ke fia alu ʼo tokoni ʼi he koga meʼa neʼe hoko ai he tuʼutamaki, ʼe tonu muʼa ke fakaafe koe e te Komite Tokoni Maʼuli.” Ka tou mulimuli ki te fakatuʼutuʼu ʼaia, pea ʼe fakahoko ai te gaue ʼi te fakatokatoka.
19. Ko natou ʼae ʼe tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina ʼe natou fakaha feafeaʼi ko tatou ko te kau tisipulo moʼoni ʼa Kilisito?
19 ʼE mahino ia, ka tou tokoni ki ʼotatou tehina moka hoko he tuʼutamaki, pea ʼe tou fakalogo ai ki te fakatotonu ʼa Kilisito ke tou “feofaaki.” ʼI tatatou feʼofaʼaki, ʼe tou fakaha ai ko tatou ko te kau tisipulo moʼoni ʼa Kilisito. (Soa. 13:34, 35) ʼE ko he toe tapuakina lahi ia ʼaho nei tatatou maʼu he kau gaue tokolahi mo lotolelei. Pea ʼe natou fakakololiaʼi Sehova ʼi tanatou tokoni kia natou ʼae ʼe natou lagolago agatonu ki te Puleʼaga ʼo te ʼAtua.
