ʻAisea 7:10-16

"10Pea fai atu 'e Sihova 'ene fololofola kia ‘Āhasi, ‘o pehē, 11Kole ma‘au ha faka‘ilonga meia Sihova ko ho ‘Otua: ‘o fai hifo ki lolofonua, pe fai hake ki he taukakapa.12Pea tali ‘e ‘Āhasi, ‘E ‘ikai te u kole, he ‘ikai te u fie ala‘aki kia Sihova. 13Pea pehē ‘e ia, Eni, fanongo mai, Fale ‘o Tēvita; lau ‘e au kuo mou topono he fakakina‘i ‘a e kakai, ka te mou fakakina‘i hoku ‘Otua foki? 14Ko ia ‘e ‘atu hamou faka‘ilonga ‘e ‘Ātonai ‘e ia. Vakai, ‘e feitama ‘a e tāupo‘ou, pea te ne ‘alo‘i ha tama, pea te ne fakahingoa ko ‘Imānuela. 15Ko e pota mo e honi‘ene me‘akai, fe‘unga mo ‘ene poto ke teke‘i ‘a e kovi mo fili ‘a e lelei. 16He te‘eki ke poto ‘a e tamasi‘i ke teke‘i ‘a e kovi mo fili ‘a e lelei, kuo li‘aki ‘a e kelekele ko ē, ‘a ia ‘oku ke mate teki ki hono ongo tu‘i."

Matiu 1:18-25

"18Ko e anga ‘eni ‘o e tupu ‘a Sīsū Kalaisi. Kuo polo‘i ‘ene fa‘ē ko Mele kia Siosifa, ka ‘i he te‘eki ke na nonofo, na‘e hā kuo feitama ia ki he Laumālie Mā‘oni‘oni. 19Pea ko Siosifa ko hono hoa, neongo ko e tangata tauhi tu‘utu‘uni, ka na‘e ‘ikai te ne loto ke faka‘ilo ia, ka na‘a ne pehē ke tukuange fakafufū pē. 20Pea lolotonga ‘ene fifili ki he ngaahi me‘a ni, ‘iloange na‘e hā kiate ia ha ‘āngelo ‘a e ‘Eiki ‘i he misi, ‘o ne pehē, ‘E Siosifa, hako ‘o Tēvita, ‘oua na‘a ke teteki ke ‘omi ‘a Mele ko ho uaifi; he ko ia kuo ne tu‘itu‘ia ai ‘oku mei he Laumālie Mā‘oni‘oni. 21Pea te ne ‘alo‘i ha tama, pea te ke fakahingoa ko Sīsū; he ko ia ia te ne fakamo‘ui hono kakai mei he‘enau ngaahi angahala.

22Pea na‘e fai ‘eni kotoa pē, koe‘uhi ke fakamo‘oni ki he me‘a ne folofola‘aki ‘e he ‘Eiki ‘i he palōfita, ‘o pehē, 23Vakai, ‘e feitama ‘a e tāupo‘ou, pea te ne ‘alo‘i ha tama, pea te nau fakahingoa ia ko ‘Imānuela, ‘a ia ko hono ‘uhinga, ‘oku ‘iate kitautolu ‘a e ‘Otua.

24Pea kuo ofo ‘a Siosifa mei he‘ene mohe, na‘a ne fai ‘o hangē ko e fekau ‘a e ‘āngelo ‘a e ‘Eiki kiate ia, ‘o ne ‘omi ‘a hono uaifi: 25pea na‘e ‘ikai te na fe‘iloaki kae‘oua ke ne ‘alo‘i ‘a e tama; pea na‘a ne fakahingoa ia ko Sīsū."

Founga ʻo e hoko mai ʻa e fakamoʻuí. Ko e hā hono ʻuhinga, ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ʻa e faʻele ʻa e taupoʻoú ki he tui fakakalisitiané? Koeʻuhí ko Sīsuú ko e ʻAlo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá pea ke ʻataʻatā ia mei he natula angahala ʻa ia naʻe paasi mai ia, ki he moʻui ʻa e tangata kotoa pē, talu meia ʻAtama. Pea koeʻuhi, ko Sīsuú naʻe ʻaloʻi ʻe ha fefine, ʻo ne hoko ko e tangataá, ka ko e ʻAlo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko Sīsuú naʻe ʻaloʻi ia taʻe ʻi ai ha felāveʻi mo e angahalá. Ko Sīsuú ko e tangata kakato, moe ʻOtua kakato.

Koeʻuhi ko Sīsuú naʻe moʻui ia ko e tangata, pea ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi pē, ʻoku mahino kakato kiate ia ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau aʻusia, mo fefaʻuhi mo ia (Hep 4:15, 16). Ka koeʻuhí ko ia ko e ʻOtuá, ʻoku Ne maʻu ʻa e ivi mo e mafai ke fakahaofi kitautolu mei he angahalá (Kol 2:13-15) ʻoku tau lava ʻo tala kia Sīsū ʻa e kotoa ʻetau fakakaukaú, ʻetau ngaahi ongoʻí, pea mo ʻetau ngaahi fiemaʻu. ʻOku ne ʻi ha feituʻu pē, ʻoku tau ʻi ai he taimi ni, pea ʻoku ne maʻu ʻa e mafai ke tokoni.

Ko Siosifá naʻa ne fehangahangai mo ha faituʻutuʻuni faingataʻa, hili ia ʻene ʻiloʻi, ko Melé kuo feitama. Naʻe fifili ʻa Siosifa ʻi he foʻi meʻa ʻe ua. Ko ʻene tukuange fakalongolongo pē ʻa Mele, pe ko hono tolomakiʻi. Ka ko e ʻOtuá naʻa Ne ʻomi ʻa e foʻi fili hono tolú, ke mali mo ia (1:20-23). Ko e vakai ʻa e ʻātakaí kia Siosifá, ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ia ʻe hoko kia Siosifa. Ka ko e ʻOtuá ʻoku ne toutou fakahaaʻi mai kia kitautolu, ʻoku lahi ʻa e ngaahi me‘a ʻoku tau ala fili ki ai, ʻi he meʻa ʻoku tau fakakaukau ki ai. Ko e ʻOtuá pē, mo ʻene tatakí, naʻe tokoni kia Siosifá ke ne fai ʻa e fili leleitahá. Naʻe fili ʻa Siosifa ke talangofua ki he fekau ʻa e ʻangeló (1:24). ʻI he taimi ʻoku uesia ʻe heʻetau filí ʻa e kakai kehé, kuopau maʻu pē ke tau fekumi, ki he poto ʻo e ʻOtuá he ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ia ai ko e faingataʻa. Pea ko e ʻuhinga naʻe fili ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Mele mo Siosifá ke fou mai ai hono ʻAló ko e fakamoʻui ia pē ʻe taha, maʻae māmani angahala ʻoku tau ʻi ai. Tui falala kia Kalaisi he ko ʻImanuela ia, hotau lotolotongá
