Pulelulu ‘Okatopa 4, 2017

Mālōlō mo Faka‘apa‘apa
Rest and Respect

Fehuʻi #10

Ko e hā ‘a e me‘a ‘oku ‘eke ‘e he ‘Otuá  ‘i he lao hono fā mo e nima ‘o e Fekau ‘e Hongofulú .

(What does God require in the fourth and fifth commandments?)
‘I he lao hono fāá , ke hoko ‘a e Sāpaté  ko e ‘aho ‘o e hū ki he ‘Otuá , ke fai ‘i he ngaahi fakataha‘anga lotú  pea fai fakafo‘ituitui foki, ke mālōlō mei he ngaahi ngāue anga mahení, ke fai ‘a e ngaue fakasevāniti ki he ‘Otuá mo e kakai kehé , ‘o nofo ‘amanaki ai ki he Sāpate ‘oku lau ‘itānití . ‘I he lao hono nimá , ke tau ‘ofa mo faka‘apa‘apa‘i ‘etau tamaí mo ‘etau fa‘ēé,  fakavaivai‘i kitautolu ki he‘enau ngaahi akonaki faka-‘Otuá mo ‘enau ngaahi fakahinohino.

(Fourth, that on the Sabbath day we spend time in public and private worship of God, rest from routine employment, serve the Lord and others, and so anticipate the eternal Sabbath. Fifth, that we love and honor our father and our mother, submitting to their godly discipline and direction.)

Levitiko 19:3
Te mou ‘apasia takitaha ki he‘ene fa‘ē mo ‘ene tamai, pea te mou tauhi hoku ngaahi Sāpate: ko Sihova au ko homou ‘Otua.

Leviticus 19:3
Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep My Sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.

Lotu

‘E tamai foaki mo’ui te mau tupu mo ma’ui’ui pe ‘i he’emau ‘a’eva ‘i ho ngaahi ‘alunga.  Na’a ke fakatupu kimautolu pea kuo ke tala kiate kimautolu ‘a e mahu’inga ke mau mālōlō.  Tokoni’i kimautolu ke ‘oua te mau ta’etokanga ki ho’o tu’utu’uni fekau’aki pea mo ‘emau ngaue.  ‘Omi kiate kimautolu ‘a e loto angavaivai ke mau faka’apa’apa ki he’emau ngaahi matu’a.  Tuku ke mau tauhi ho’o ngaahi tu’utu’uni ‘o mo’ui’aki kae’oua te mau fai pe ki he’emau ngaahi ongo.  ‘Emeni.

Prayer


Life-Giving Father, we will flourish only when we walk in your ways. You have made us, and you tell us we need rest. Keep us from justifying ourselves through ceaseless work. Give us humility to honor our parents. May we always live by your commands rather than by our own instincts. Amen.
