11, 12. Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá pea naʻe anga-fēfē hono ngaohikoviʻi ʻe Hēlota ʻa e kau Kalisitiané, ʻo kau ai ʻa Pitá?

¹¹ Ko Pita, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ai ʻi he taimi ko iá, naʻá ne hokosia tonu ki mui ʻa e mālohi ʻo e lotu tōtōiví. (Lau ʻa e Ngāue 12:1-6.) ʻI he ngaahi veesi kamata ʻo e fakamatala ko ení, ʻoku tau ako ai naʻe ngaohikoviʻi ʻe Hēlota ʻa e kau Kalisitiané, koeʻuhi ke maʻu ʻa e leleiʻia ʻa e kau Siú. ʻOku ngalingali naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ko Sēmisí ko ha ʻapositolo ʻa ia naʻá ne ofi tautefito kia Sīsū. Ko ia ai, naʻe ʻai ʻe Hēlota ke tāmateʻi ʻa Sēmisi “ʻaki ʻa e heletā.” (Veesi 2) Ko ia naʻe mole ai mei he fakatahaʻangá ha ʻapositolo ʻofeina. Ko ha ʻahiʻahi moʻoni ia ki he fanga tokouá!

13, 14. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē fakafeangai ʻa e fakatahaʻangá ki hono tuku pilīsone ʻo Pitá? (e) Ko e hā ʻe lava ke tau ako mei he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he ngaahi kaungā-Kalisitiane ʻo Pitá ʻi he meʻa fekauʻaki mo e lotú?

¹³ Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he fakatahaʻangá ʻa e meʻa tofu pē ke faí. ʻOku pehē ʻi he veesi 5: “Ko ia naʻe tauhi ʻa Pita ʻi he pilīsoné; ka naʻe fai ʻe he fakatahaʻangá hano lotua lahi ia ki he ʻOtuá.” ʻIo, ko ʻenau ngaahi lotu maʻa honau fanga tokoua ʻofeiná ko e ngaahi kole lahi, mo fakamātoato. Ko ia ko e mate ʻa Sēmisí naʻe ʻikai lōmekina ai kinautolu ʻi he siva e ʻamanakí; pea naʻe ʻikai fakatupunga ai kinautolu ke nau vakai ki he lotú ko ha meʻa taʻeʻaonga. ʻI hono kehé, naʻa nau ʻiloʻi ko e ngaahi lotu ʻa e kau lotu faitōnungá ʻoku mohu ʻuhinga ia kia Sihova. Kapau ko e ngaahi lotu ko iá ʻoku fehoanaki mo hono finangaló, ʻokú ne tali ia.—Hep. 13:18, 19; Sēm. 5:16.

¹⁴ Ko e hā ʻe lava ke tau ako mei he tali ʻa Pita ki he ngaahi kaungā-Kalisitiané? Ko e hanganaki leʻó ʻoku kau ki ai e lotu ʻo ʻikai maʻatautolu pē kae maʻa hotau fanga tokouá mo e fanga tuofāfiné foki. (ʻEf. 6:18) ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi ha ngaahi kaungātui ʻoku nau tofanga ʻi ha ngaahi ʻahiʻahi? ʻOku kātekina nai ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e fakatanga, ngaahi fakataputapui fakapuleʻanga, pe ko e ngaahi fakatamaki fakanatula. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ʻai ai ia ko e kaveinga hoʻo ngaahi lotu fakamātoató? ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi nai ha niʻihi ʻoku nau hokosia e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku ʻikai loko fakatokangaʻi. ʻOku nau fāinga nai ke fekuki mo e ngaahi faingataʻa he fāmilí, loto-siʻi, pe mahamahaki. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai fakakaukau ai ki ha faʻahinga pau ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ke lave ki honau hingoá ʻi hoʻo lea kia Sihova, ko e “tali lotu”?—Saame 65:2.
