Humildade
A humildade é o caminho da honra verdadeira. Deus resiste aos soberbos, mas dá graça aos humildes. Jesus lavou os pés dos discípulos e nos ensinou que o maior é aquele que serve.
Humilhar-se diante de Deus
Humilhai-vos diante do Senhor e Ele vos exaltará. Quem se humilha será exaltado, e quem se exalta será humilhado.
Fakavaivaiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki, pea ʻe hakeakiʻi ʻe ia ʻakimoutolu.
Ko ia ke fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ʻi he lalo nima māfimafi ʻoe ʻOtua, ka ne hakeakiʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho totonu:
Pea kapau ʻe fakavaivai mai ʻa hoku kakai ʻoku ui ʻaki ʻa hoku huafa, pea nau lotu, mo nau kumi ki hoku fofonga, pea nau tafoki mei honau ngaahi hala kovi: pehē, te u toki fanongo mei he langi, pea te u fakamolemole ʻenau angahala, pea te u fakamoʻui ʻa honau fonua.
ʻOku angalelei mo angatonu ʻa Sihova,
ko ia te ne akonakiʻi ai ʻae kau angahala ʻi he hala.
Te ne tataki ʻae angamalū ʻi he fakamaau:
te ne ako hono hala ki he angavaivai.
Ko e fielahi ʻae tangata, ʻe fakahifo ai ia ki lalo;
ka ʻe poupou hake ʻae laumālie ʻoe angavaivai ʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei.
ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻae fielahi ʻi he loto ʻae tangata,
pea ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻae angavaivai ʻi he hakeakiʻi.
Humildade como virtude
Considerai os outros como superiores a vós mesmos. Revesti-vos de humildade, mansidão e paciência no trato uns com os outros.
ʻOua naʻa fai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻi he fakakikihi, pe ʻi he manako ki he fakamālō launoa; ka ʻi he loto angavaivai ke fetoutou femahalo lelei ʻaki hake taki taha ki hono kāinga ʻiate ia.
Pea ko eni, ke ʻi he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai ʻae nāunau ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
Ko ia ko kimoutolu, ko e māʻoniʻoni mo e ʻofeina, mou ai, ʻo taau mo e kakai fili ʻae ʻOtua, ʻae manavaʻofa, mo e angalelei, mo e loto angavaivai, mo e angamalū, mo e kātaki fuoloa;
ʻI he angavaivai kotoa pē mo e angamalū, mo e kātaki fuoloa, ʻo fekātakiʻaki ʻi he ʻofa;
He kuo ui ʻakimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ki he tauʻatāina; kaeʻoua naʻa meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻae tauʻatāina ke fai fakakakano, kae fetauhiʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa.
Pea ko hono fakaʻosi, ke mou uouangataha pe, pea femanavaʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu, mou ʻofa fakakāinga, mou loto ongongofua, pea angalelei:
Pea ko honau teunga ke ʻoua naʻa ʻituʻa pe, ʻi he fi ʻoe louʻulu, mo e ai ʻoe koula, mo e ai ʻoe ngaahi kofu; Ka ke teunga ʻae tangata fufū ʻoe loto ʻaki ʻae meʻa taʻeʻauha, ʻaia ko e loto angavaivai mo angamalū, pea ʻoku maʻongoʻonga lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua.
O exemplo de Jesus
Aprendei de mim, que sou manso e humilde de coração. O maior entre vós seja o que serve — esse é o caminho do Reino.
Toʻo ʻeku haʻamonga kiate kimoutolu, pea mou ako ʻiate au; he ʻoku ou angavaivai mo angamalū: pea te mou ʻilo ai ʻae fiemālie ki homou laumālie. He ʻoku faingofua pe ʻeku haʻamonga, pea ʻoku maʻamaʻa ʻeku kavenga."
"Ko ia ʻoka ke ka fai ha foaki, ʻoua naʻa ke ifi ʻae meʻa lea ʻi ho ʻao, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he mālualoi ʻi he ngaahi falelotu mo e hala, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻu ʻae fakamālō ʻae kakai. Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni kiate kimoutolu, Kuo nau maʻu ʻenau totongi.
Pea nofo hifo ia, ʻo ne ui ʻae toko hongofulu ma toko ua, ʻo pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, "Kapau ʻoku holi ha tangata ke muʻomuʻa, ʻe ki mui ia ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, mo e tamaioʻeiki ʻamoutolu kotoa pē."
ʻO ne pehē kiate kinautolu, "Ko ia ia ʻe maʻu ʻae tamasiʻi ni ʻi hoku huafa, ʻoku ne maʻu au; pea ko ia ia ʻoku ne maʻu au, ʻoku ne maʻu ʻaia naʻa ne fekau au: he ko ia ʻoku siʻi ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, ko ia ia ʻe lahi."
Ko e totongi ʻoe angavaivai mo e manavahē kia Sihova ko e koloa,
mo e ongoongolelei, mo e moʻui.
Ko e manavahē kia Sihova, ko e akonaki ia ʻoe poto;
pea ʻoku muʻomuʻa ʻae angavaivai ʻi he hakeakiʻi.
ʻOka hoko ʻae fielahi, ʻoku hoko foki mo e mā:
ka ʻoku ʻi he angavaivai ʻae poto.
Humildade verdadeira
O que se exige de ti? Praticar a justiça, amar a misericórdia e andar humildemente com teu Deus.
Kuo ne fakahā kiate koe, ʻe tangata ʻaia ʻoku lelei;
pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻamanaki ʻe Sihova ʻiate koe, ka koeʻuhi ke ke fai totonu
mo ke loto ki he ʻofa, mo ke ʻaʻeva mo ho ʻOtua ʻi he angavaivai?
ʻAe kau fefine, fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ki homou husepāniti ʻomoutolu, he ʻoku ngali ia ʻi he ʻEiki. ʻAe kau tangata, ʻofa ki homou uaifi, pea ʻoua naʻa fai anga fakaʻita kiate kinautolu.
Ke felototahaʻaki ʻakimoutolu. ʻOua naʻa tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa māʻolunga, kae tataki ʻakimoutolu ki he ngaahi meʻa māʻulalo. Pea ʻoua naʻa mou fiepoto ʻiate kimoutolu.
Mo e kau lāuvale ʻoe māmani, mo e meʻa kuo manuki, kuo fili ʻe he ʻOtua, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kuo ʻikai, ke ne fakaʻosi ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ai: Ke ʻoua naʻa vikiviki ha toko taha ʻi hono ʻao.
Ko hai ha taha ʻoku poto mo ʻilo lahi ʻiate kimoutolu? Ke fakahā ʻe ia ʻi he ʻulungāanga lelei ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻi he angavaivai mo e poto.
