Abram called on the name of the Lord

fai ai ‘e ‘Epalame ‘ene lotu ‘i he huafa ‘o Sihova 

Senesi 13 (Genesis 13)

(v. 4) to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the Lord.

(v. 4) ‘a e potu na‘e tu‘u ai ‘a e ‘ōlita ne ne ngaohi ‘i he kamata anga: pea na‘e fai ai ‘e ‘Epalame ‘ene lotu ‘i he0 huafa ‘o Sihova.

*Commentary: Matthew Poole*

Unto the place of the altar, i. e. where the altar was; for the altar itself was either fallen down, as being probably built of earth, as afterwards, Exod. 20: 24, or overthrown by the wicked Canaanites. He worshipped God by prayer, and preaching to his family, Gen. 18:19, and offering sacrifices. See Gen. 4. 26; 12:8

potu na‘e tu‘u ai ‘a e ‘ōlita. ‘a e potu naʻe ‘i ai ‘a e ‘olita; mahalo naʻe holo ‘a e ‘olita, he naʻe ngaohi pe mei he kelekele (‘Eki 20:24) pe, naʻe kapa ‘e he haʻa Kenani´. Naʻa ne hū ki he ‘Otua´ ‘i he lotu, mo e malanga ki hono famili (Sen 18:19) pea mo e ‘atu feilaulau (Sen 4:26; 12:8).

* study on the Attributes of God / ako ki he natula (ngaahi ‘ulungaanga) ‘o e ‘Otua *

GOD IS . . . (KO E ‘OTUA, ‘OKU . . )

Knowing God

This study thus seeks to give you a sight of God and Christ and of how God's attributes affect your Christian living. To the degree that I can actually do this, as well as make complex theological concepts plain, I will regard myself a most blessed teacher, namely, one helping people know and love God in a better, clearer, and more informed way. The object of this book (study) is to cultivate "in Spirit and truth” worshipers—the very kind God seeks (John 4:24).

Ko e ako ‘oku tau fai, ‘oku ne feinga ke ‘omi kiate kitautolu ha visone ‘o e ‘Otua mo Kalaisi pea mo e fekauʻaki ‘a e ngaahi ‘ulungaanga ‘o e ‘Otua mo ‘etau mo’ui faka-kalisitiane. Ka lava ia, pea mo lava ke fakamatala’i ‘a e ngaahi mo’oni faingata’a ‘o e mala’e ‘o e teolosia, ‘i ha founga mahino mo faingofua, pea ta kuo ‘aonga pea hoko ko ha tapuaki ki he faiako ni (tangata fa’u tohi); ke tokoni’i ha kakai ke nau ‘ilo mo ‘ofa ki he ‘Otua, ‘i ha founga ‘oku toe lelei ange, mahino ange mo tupulaki ‘a e ‘ilo. Ko e taumu’a ‘o e tohi ni (ako ‘oku tau fai) ke faka’ai’ai mo fokotu’u ha kau hu “ ‘i laumalie mo mo’oni” – ko e fa’ahinga ia ‘oku kumi ‘e he ‘Otua (Sione 4:23-24).
