“Praise
Father, Son and Holy Ghost”
Fehuʻi #3
‘Oku toko fiha ‘a e pēsona ‘o e ‘Otuá ?
(How many persons are there in God?)
‘Oku toko tolu ‘a e pēsona ‘o e ‘Otua
mo‘oni mo mo‘uí : ko e Tamai, mo e ‘Alo pea mo e Laumālie Mā‘oni‘oni. Tatau ‘i
he uho pea tu‘unga tatau ‘i he ivi mo e langilangi.
(There are three persons in the one true
and living God: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. They are the same in
substance, equal in power and glory.)
2 Kolinitō 13:13 (TMB)
Paaki ‘a Molitoni
Ko
e kelesi ‘a e ‘Eiki ko Sīsū Kalaisi, mo e ‘ofa ‘a e ‘Otua,
mo e feohi ‘o e Laumālie Mā‘oni‘oni, ‘ofa ke ‘iate kimoutolu kotoa pē ia.
2 Corinthians
13:14
The
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of
the Holy
Spirit be with you all.
‘Oku
tau tuku kolōlia ki hotau ‘Otuá ‘i he‘etau a‘usia mai ‘a e uike fo‘oú ni ke
hoko atu ai ‘etau fononga‘i ‘a e ngaahi uho‘i mo‘oni ‘o ‘etau tui
faka-Kalisitiané́. To‘utupu pea pehē ki ha taha pe ‘oku ne afea ‘etau lesoní,
‘oku tau monū‘ia ‘aupito ‘etau ma‘u e ngaahi tokoni fakalaumālie, ka ko ha
ngaahi tukutukulaumea mei he kau moʻungaʻi tangata ‘o e hisitōlia ‘o e lotú,
ke tau tu‘u ai ‘o kakapa atu ki he kaha‘ú mo e ‘amanaki lelei ‘oku tataki
kitautolu ‘e Hono Laumālié ki he mo‘oni kotoa (Sione 16:13).
Komeniteli ‘a Lisiate Paakisita
Commentary
– Richard Baxter
Ko e misiteli faufaua ‘o e
Tolu-taha‘i-‘Otuá, ‘a e taha ‘a e Tamaí, ‘Aló mo e Laumālié, na‘e pau hono
fatú ke tau tui ki ai, ‘o ‘ikai ‘i he tu‘unga lau‘itani mo taukakapá pe, ka
‘i he ‘ilo ‘oku tau ma‘u ‘i he maama ‘o e ngaue lōtolu ‘oku fakahoko ‘i he mo‘ui
‘a e tangatá: ‘a ē ‘oku hā mai ‘i he Fakatupú, ko e ‘Otua ‘o natula; ‘i
he Huhu‘í,
ko e ‘Otua ‘oku aoniu mo tuhani mai ‘ene kelesí, pea mo hotau Fakama‘oni‘oni‘anga,
‘a ia ‘oku fakahoko kiate kitautolu pea ne Fakahaohaoa ‘a e me‘a kotoa ‘oku
tuha mo kitautolu ‘o fakatatau ki hono langilangí…
The great
mystery of the Blessed Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, being one God, is
made necessary to us to be believed, not only as to the eternal unsearchable
inexistence, but especially for the knowledge of God’s three great sorts of
works on man: that is, as our Creator,
and the God of nature; as our Redeemer,
and the God of governing and reconciling grace, and as our Sanctifier, and the Applier and Perfecter of all to fit us to
glory…
