Fakamaau 9:7 “Pea ʻi he tala ʻa e meʻa ko iá kia Siotame, naʻá ne ʻalu ʻo tuʻu ʻi he tumutumu ʻo e moʻunga ko Kelisimí ʻo ne ofaʻaki hono leʻo ʻo kalanga, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu. Fanongo mai kiate au, kainanga ʻo Sikemi kae fanongo ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate kimoutolu”.

Ko e foha eni kimui ʻo Kitione ko Siotame, naʻá ne ʻalu ki he funga moʻunga Kelisimí he naʻe tuʻu ofi pe ki Sikemi, ʻo ne kalanga ki he kakai ʻo Sikemí tuʻunga ʻi heʻenau ʻai ʻa ʻApimeleki ke tuʻí, he naʻá ne toitoi pe, ʻi hono tamateʻi ʻe ʻApimeleki hona fanga tokouá. Pea ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea fakatātā he ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e moʻoni mahuʻinga ʻokú ne hanga ʻo ueʻi ʻa e ʻatamaí, pea ʻoku ngāueʻaki e kau tangata poto ʻo e kuonga kotoa pe, pea ko e founga lelei ʻi hono akoʻi ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lesoni ʻo e fakamaau. Pea naʻe fuʻu mahino ia, ʻi hono ngāueʻaki tuʻumaʻu ʻe hotau ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisi. Ko e moʻoni ʻo ha fakatātā ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he akonaki ʻoku ʻi aí, pea ke tauhi ʻa e moʻoni ko iá. Ko e fakatātā ʻa Siotamé ki he vale taʻehounga mo e angahala ʻa e kau Sikemí. He naʻá ne pehē “Fanongo mai kiate au, kainanga ʻo Sikemi kae fanongo ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate kimoutolu”. Ko kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻamanaki ki he ʻOtuá ke ne fanongo mai ki heʻenau ngaahi lotu, kuopau ke nau loto ke fanongo ki he ʻuhinga, ke fanongo ki he fakamoʻoni ʻo e houngaʻia, pea ke ne fanongo ki he ngaahi lāunga mo e tangi hala tonuhia pe ko e tukuakiʻi taʻehalaia. ʻOku ʻomai ʻe Siotame ʻa e ʻulungaanga totonu ʻo Kitioné mo e kau fakamaau kehe naʻa nau ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia, pea pehē ki he ngaahi foha ʻo Kitionē ʻa ia naʻa nau tuʻu atu ke tali ʻa e puleʻanga mo e mafai ʻo e ngaahi tuʻi, ʻa ē naʻe totonu ke ʻanautolu. ʻI he fakalukufua ko e kotoa ʻo e kau tangata poto mo leleí pea ʻi honau ngaahi tuʻungá ʻoku nau fili maʻu pe, ke nau hoko ko e kakai ʻaonga, ʻi heʻenau hoko ko e kakai lalahi mo ʻiloa. Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku nau feinga ki he langilangi mo e ngeiá ʻoku nau ʻi he tuʻutamaki lahi ʻi he mole honau ngaahi fua pea molia atu ʻa e ngaahi leleí pea ʻikai ia ko ia pe ka ʻokú ne ngaohi ʻa e tangata ke ʻafungi mo fakapikopiko, pea ne uesia hono tuʻunga ʻaonga ka ʻi he tuʻunga maʻulalo ʻa e tangata, ʻokú ne fakalangilangiʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá mo e tangatá. Pea ko e tuʻunga ia ʻoku ui kitautolu ki ai, “ʻIo, ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e loto pehē ʻa ia naʻe ʻia Kalaisi Sīsū foki” (fili 2:5) .He naʻá ne haʻu ki māmani ʻo ʻai sinoʻi tangata, naʻá ne fakamasivesivaʻi Ia Heʻene toʻo ʻa e anga ʻo e tamaioʻeikí. Tui ki ai ʻo fai pehē.
