Fakamaau 9:45 “Pea tauʻi ʻe ʻApimeleki ʻa e kolo ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻosi, ʻo ne kapa ia ʻo ne tamateʻi ʻa e kakai naʻe ʻi ai, pea ne holoki ʻa e kolo ʻo ne tūtūʻi masima ki ai”. Naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe ʻApimeleki ʻa Sikemi. ʻI hono ngaohi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e kakai ke nau ʻaonga ʻo hangē ko ha ngaahi meʻangāué ʻi hono nimá ke nau fai ʻEne ngāué, ʻo ʻuhinga ki he meʻa pe ʻe taha. Ke nau palani ke nau tauhi honau langilangi pea ko e ʻOtuá ke ne tauhi haʻana langilangi. Ko e tangata ko Kaali naʻa nau hiki mai mo hono kāinga ki Sikemi, pea ne fai ʻene fakamatala ki he kau Sikemi ʻo fekauʻaki mo ʻApimeleki, pea mo Sikemi (v.28). Pea naʻe ʻita ʻa Sepuli ia ʻia Kaali he ko e pulekolo ia, pea ko e matāpule ia ʻo ʻApimeleki, pea ne fekau atu ha talafekau ke ʻalu ʻo fakahā ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe ʻa Kaali kia ʻApimeleki. Ko Kaali naʻe ʻai ia ʻe he kau Sikemi ke ne taki kinautolu. Ka ko ʻApimeleki ʻi he ʻaho pe hono hokó naʻá ne fakaʻauha ʻa Sikemi he naʻe taumuʻa pe ʻa ʻApimeleki ke ne tauteaʻi ʻa e kolo ko Sikemí ko ʻenau fakamaʻamaʻaʻi ia, ka naʻe tautea kinautolu ia ʻe he ʻOtuá, ko ʻenau tauhi ange kiate Ia kimuʻa ʻo nau hanga ʻo tamateʻi ʻa e ngahai foha ʻo Kitioné. Pea ko kinautolu naʻa nau mālōlō mei he ngāue ki ha taua malohi ko e temipale honau ʻaitolí naʻe fakaʻauha kotoa kinautolu ʻi ai. Ko e ui kiate kinautolu naʻa nau ʻi he taua ʻo Sikemi. Naʻe tuku kotoa kinautolu ki he malumalu ʻo e maluʻi honau ʻaitolí, pea ko e kotoa ʻa e kakai, naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he hingoa honau ʻotua, pea naʻe ʻikai ke hangē ko kitautolu kuo fili ʻi he Huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi, ke tau nofo ʻi he fale ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻetau moʻuí. Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e koví te ne fūfū kitautolu ʻi hono malu (Sa 27:5). Pea ko e Huafa ʻo Sihová ko e taua malohi (Palo 18:10) ʻoku lele ki ai ʻa e faitotonu ʻo ne malu ai. Pea ko ia ʻa e ʻamanaki te nau maʻu ʻi he taimi ʻo e tau. Pea ʻoku taau ke tau manatuʻi.

Mei he ʻaho pe ko ē naʻa tau maʻu ai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko hotau fakamoʻuí, naʻa tau hū ai pe ki he tau fakalaumalie. Ko hotau filí ko e tevolo, pea te ne fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe ʻi hono mafaí, ke ne ʻai koe keke lotosiʻi, tālā„a pea ke ke hoko ko e kalisitiane foʻi. Tokangaʻi ʻene kākaá pea ke ke falala ki he ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí ki he ikuna, he ko ia ʻa e vaivaiʻanga kuo tau lave ki ai ʻi ʻolungá.
