MEDITATE ON THE WORD

FAKALAULAULOTO ‘I HE FOLOFOLA

PSALM 1:1-2

Blessed is the one ... whose delight is in the law of the LORD

SAAME 1:1-2

MONŪ‘IA Ā, ka ko e tangata ko ē, Kuo ‘ikai fou ‘i he fakakaukau ‘a e faka‘otuamate, Pe tu‘u ‘i he hala ‘o e kau faikovi, Pe nofo ‘i he nofo‘anga ‘o ha‘a manuki: Ka ko e Lao ‘a Sihova ‘a ‘ene manako, ‘Io, ‘i he lao ‘o‘ona ‘oku ne fakalaulauloto ‘aho mo e pō

Study the Bible, dear brethren, through and through, with all helps that you can possibly obtain. Remember that the appliances now within the reach of ordinary Christians are much more extensive than they were in our fathers' days, and therefore you must be greater biblical scholars if you would keep in front of your hearers. Intermeddle with all knowledge, but, above all things, meditate day and night in the law of the Lord.

Be well instructed in theology, and do not regard the sneers of those who rail at it because they are ignorant of it. Many preachers are not theologians, and hence the mistakes which they make. It cannot do any hurt to the most lively evangelist to be also a sound theologian, and it may often be the means of saving him from gross blunders.

Had ſour fathers] been able to compare spiritual things with spiritual, had they understood the analogy of the faith, and had they been acquainted with the holy learning of the great Bible students of past ages, they would not have been quite so fast in vaunting their marvelous knowledge.

Ako ‘a e Folofola, si’i kainga, ‘ilo kanokato ki ai, ngaue’aki ‘a e ngaahi tohi huluhulu kotoa ke tokoni kiate koe. Manatu‘i ‘oku mahulu hake ‘a e ngaahi fakamaama mo e ngaahi tohi tokoni ki he Folofola, ‘oku ‘ataa ki ai ‘a e kalisitiane he ngaahi ‘aho ni, ‘o fakatatau ki ono’aho. Pea ‘i he’ene pehee, kuopau ke ke hoko ko ha taukei ‘i he Folofola kapau te ke hoko ko ha fakamo’oni ‘a Sisu. Ako ki he ngaahi mo’oni kehekehe, kae mahulu hake ho’o fakalaulauloto ‘aho mo e po ki he ngaahi lao ‘a Sihova.

Ako ke ke ‘ilo lelei ki he ngaahi tokateline, pea ‘oua te ke tokanga ki he kau fakalotosi’i atu kau ki he ngaahi me’a ‘oku ‘ikai te nau ‘ilo ki ai. ‘Oku tokolahi ‘a e kau malanga ‘oku ‘ikai te nau faka’ile’ila ki he teolosia, pea ko e vaivai pe ia ‘anautolu. ‘E ‘ikai ke kau kovi ki he kau malanga ‘evangelioo, kapau te nau toe ako ke fekefeka ‘enau tui fakatokateline, ke nau hao ai mei ha ngaahi palopalema faka-tokateline te nau to ki ai.
