Batismo
O batismo é mandamento de Jesus e proclamação pública de fé. É símbolo de morte para o pecado, sepultamento com Cristo e ressurreição para uma vida nova no Espírito.
O mandamento de Jesus
Ide e fazei discípulos, batizando-os em nome do Pai, do Filho e do Espírito Santo. O batismo é porta de entrada na comunidade cristã.
Ko ia ke ʻalu ʻakimoutolu, ʻo fakalotuʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo papitaiso ʻakinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻoe Tamai, mo e ʻAlo, mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni: ʻO akonaki atu kiate kinautolu ke nau tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu: pea vakai, ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani." ʻEmeni.
Pea haʻu ʻa Sisu ʻo lea kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, "Kuo tuku kiate au ʻae mālohi kotoa pē ʻi he langi mo māmani. Ko ia ke ʻalu ʻakimoutolu, ʻo fakalotuʻi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo papitaiso ʻakinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻoe Tamai, mo e ʻAlo, mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni: ʻO akonaki atu kiate kinautolu ke nau tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia kuo u fekau kiate kimoutolu: pea vakai, ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu maʻuaipē, ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani." ʻEmeni.
Pea toki haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Kaleli ki Sioatani kia Sione, ke papitaiso ʻiate ia.
Ko ia ia ʻe tui mo papitaiso, ʻe moʻui; ka ko ia ia ʻe ʻikai tui, ʻe malaʻia.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, "Mou ʻalu ki māmani kotoa pē, ʻo malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei ki he kakai fulipē. Ko ia ia ʻe tui mo papitaiso, ʻe moʻui; ka ko ia ia ʻe ʻikai tui, ʻe malaʻia.
Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe haʻu ʻa Sisu mei Nāsaleti ʻo Kaleli, pea papitaiso ia ʻe Sione ʻi Sioatani. Pea ʻalu hake leva ia mei he vai, pea ne mamata kuo mavaeua ʻae langi, pea maliu hifo ʻae Laumālie kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e lupe:
Morrer e ressuscitar
Fomos sepultados com Cristo pelo batismo na morte para que andemos em novidade de vida. O batismo é renascimento pelo Espírito.
ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko kitautolu kotoa pē naʻe papitaiso kia Sisu Kalaisi naʻa tau papitaiso ki heʻene pekia? Pea ko ia, kuo tau tanu fakataha mo ia ʻi he papitaiso ki he mate: koeʻuhi ke hangē hono fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he mate ʻe he mālohi ʻoe tamai, ke pehē foki ʻetau felakaʻi ʻi he moʻui foʻou.
ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko kitautolu kotoa pē naʻe papitaiso kia Sisu Kalaisi naʻa tau papitaiso ki heʻene pekia?
ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito. ʻE fēfē ʻetau kei moʻui ʻi he angahala ka kuo tau mate ki ai? ʻIkai ʻoku mou ʻilo ko kitautolu kotoa pē naʻe papitaiso kia Sisu Kalaisi naʻa tau papitaiso ki heʻene pekia? Pea ko ia, kuo tau tanu fakataha mo ia ʻi he papitaiso ki he mate: koeʻuhi ke hangē hono fokotuʻu ʻa Kalaisi mei he mate ʻe he mālohi ʻoe tamai, ke pehē foki ʻetau felakaʻi ʻi he moʻui foʻou. He kapau kuo tau tō fakataha mo ia ʻi he tatau ʻo ʻene pekia, te tau ʻi he tatau foki ʻo ʻene toetuʻu: ʻO ʻilo eni, ko hotau motuʻa tangata kuo tāmateʻi fakataha mo ia, koeʻuhi ke fakaʻauha ʻae sino ʻoe angahala, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tau toe tauhi ʻae angahala. He ko ia ʻoku mate, kuo movete ia mei he angahala.
ʻO tanu mo ia ʻi he papitaiso, ʻaia kuo mou toetuʻu ai mo ia ʻi he tui ʻoku mei he ngāue ʻae ʻOtua, ʻaia kuo ne fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekia.
He ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻi he tui kia Kalaisi Sisu. He ko kimoutolu kotoa pē kuo papitaiso kia Kalaisi, kuo mou ʻai ʻa Kalaisi.
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, "Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate koe, Kapau ʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻae tangata ʻi he vai pea mo e Laumālie, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa hū ia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
Pea pehē ʻe Sisu, "Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate koe, Kapau ʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻae tangata ʻi he vai pea mo e Laumālie, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa hū ia ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
Naʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngaue ʻoe māʻoniʻoni naʻa tau fai, kae fakatatau mo ʻene ʻofa mataʻataʻatā pe, kuo ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu, ʻi he fufulu ʻoe fakatupu foʻou, mo e fakafoʻou ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni;
Pea ko hono tatau moʻoni, ʻaia ko e papitaiso, ʻoku ne fakamoʻui eni ʻakitautolu, (ʻikai ko e siʻaki ʻoe ʻuli ʻoe kakano, ka ko e fakamoʻoni ʻoe ʻatamai lelei ki he ʻOtua,) ʻi he toetuʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi:
Batismo e Espírito
Arrependei-vos e cada um seja batizado. O batismo no Espírito Santo é poder para vida e testemunho.
Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita kiate kinautolu, "Fakatomala, pea mou taki taha papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, ke fakamolemole ai ʻae angahala, pea te mou maʻu mo e foaki ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
Pea toki pehē ʻe Pita kiate kinautolu, "Fakatomala, pea mou taki taha papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, ke fakamolemole ai ʻae angahala, pea te mou maʻu mo e foaki ʻoe Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.
Pea ko kinautolu naʻe maʻu fiefia ʻene lea, naʻa nau papitaiso: pea ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia naʻe ului ʻae kakai ʻe toko tolu afe nai.
Ka kuo nau tui kia Filipe, ʻi heʻene malangaʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoe puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, mo e huafa ʻo Sisu Kalaisi, pea nau papitaiso, ʻae tangata mo e fefine. Pea toki tui foki mo Saimone: pea kuo papitaiso ia, pea nofo ia mo Filipe, ʻo ofo ʻi heʻene mamata ki he ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo lahi naʻa ne fai.
Pea ʻi heʻena fononga ʻi he hala, naʻa na hoko ki he vai: pea pehē ʻe he ʻiunoke, "Vakai, ko e vai; ko e hā ʻoku taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻaku papitaiso?" Pea pehē ʻe Filipe, "ʻOku lelei ia, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke tuiʻaki ho loto kotoa." Pea ne leaange, ʻo pehē, "ʻOku ou tui ko Sisu Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua," pea fekau ʻe ia ke tuʻu ʻae saliote: pea ne na ʻohifo fakatouʻosi ki he vai, ʻa Filipe mo e ʻiunoke; pea ne papitaiso ʻi ai. Pea kuo na ʻohake mei he vai, pea ʻave ʻa Filipe ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki, pea naʻe ʻikai toe mamata ʻe he ʻiunoke kiate ia: pea fononga ia ʻi hono hala kuo fiefia.
"ʻE faʻa taʻofi ʻe ha taha ʻae vai, ke ʻoua naʻa papitaiso ʻakinautolu ni, ka kuo nau maʻu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko kitautolu?" Pea fekau ʻe ia ke nau papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻae ʻEiki. Pea naʻa nau kole kiate ia ke nofo mo kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho niʻihi.
"ʻE faʻa taʻofi ʻe ha taha ʻae vai, ke ʻoua naʻa papitaiso ʻakinautolu ni, ka kuo nau maʻu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko kitautolu?"
Pea toki pehē ʻe Paula, "Ko e moʻoni naʻe papitaiso ʻaki ʻe Sione ʻae papitaiso ki he fakatomala, ʻo ne pehē ki he kakai, ke nau tui kiate ia ʻe fakamuimui ʻiate ia, ʻa ia, ko Kalaisi Sisu.
Pea ʻi he nau fanongo eni naʻa nau papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu. Pea kuo hilifaki ʻae nima ʻo Paula kiate kinautolu, pea hoko kiate kinautolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni; pea naʻa nau leaʻaki ʻae lea kehekehe, mo nau kikite.
Pea ʻi he nau fanongo eni naʻa nau papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki ko Sisu.
Pea kuo hilifaki ʻae nima ʻo Paula kiate kinautolu, pea hoko kiate kinautolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni; pea naʻa nau leaʻaki ʻae lea kehekehe, mo nau kikite.
Pea ko e hā ʻoku ke fakatuai ai? Tuʻu, pea ke papitaiso, ʻo fakamaʻa koe mei hoʻo angahala, pea ui ki he huafa ʻoe ʻEiki.’
He naʻe papitaiso moʻoni ʻe Sione ʻaki ʻae vai; kae ʻaho siʻi pē pea ʻe papitaiso ʻakimoutolu ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni."
Ka te mou maʻu ʻae mālohi, ʻoka hoko mai ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kimoutolu: pea ko ʻeku kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu ʻi Selūsalema, mo Siutea kotoa pē, mo Samēlia, pea ki he ngataʻanga ʻo māmani."
Pea hili ʻenau lotu, naʻe ngalulululu ʻae potu naʻa nau fakataha ai; pea naʻe fakapito ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻonau lea mālohi ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
Pea kuo papitaiso ʻae kakai kotoa pē, pea pehē, ne papitaiso foki mo Sisu, pea ʻi heʻene lotu, ne matoʻo ʻae langi, Pea maliu hifo ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate ia ʻo hangē ko e sino ʻoe lupe, pea hoko mai mo e leʻo mei he langi, ʻo pehē, "Ko hoku ʻAlo ʻofaʻanga koe; ʻoku ou fiemālie lahi ʻiate koe."
Ko ia kapau ʻoku mou ʻilo, ka ko e angakovi, ke foaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei ki hoʻomou fānau; ʻe fēfē hono lahi hake ʻoe fie foaki ʻe he Tamai ʻi he langi ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku kole kiate ia?"
Um batismo
Em um Espírito fomos todos batizados em um só corpo. O batismo é um só, assim como um só é o Senhor e uma só é a fé.
He kuo tau papitaiso kotoa pē ʻi he Laumālie pe taha ki he sino pe taha, pe ko ha kakai Siu pe ko ha kakai Senitaile, ko ha pōpula pe ha tauʻatāina; pea naʻe fakainu ʻakitautolu kotoa pē ki he Laumālie pe taha.

Kuo mavahevahe koā ʻa Kalaisi? Naʻe tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻa Paula koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu? Pe naʻa mou papitaiso ʻi he hingoa ʻo Paula? ʻOku ou fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai te u papitaiso ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ka ko Kalisipo mo Keio; Telia naʻa pehē ʻe ha niʻihi kuo u fai papitaiso ʻi hoku hingoa ʻoʻoku. Pea naʻaku papitaiso foki ʻae fale ʻo Setivena: pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe naʻaku papitaiso mo ha taha kehe. He naʻe ʻikai fekau au ʻe Kalaisi ke papitaiso, ka ke malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei: kae ʻikai ʻi he poto ʻoe lea, telia naʻa fakataʻeaongaʻi ʻae ʻakau naʻe tutuki ki ai ʻa Kalaisi.
Pea naʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ia: ka ko ia naʻa ne fekau au ke papitaiso ʻaki ʻae vai, naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate au, ‘Ko ia te ke mamata ʻe ʻalu hifo ki ai ʻae Laumālie, ʻo nofo ki ai, ko ia ia ʻoku ne papitaiso ʻaki ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.’
