Não desista!
'Não desista!' é o grito do céu para a terra. Deus nos encoraja a perseverar na fé, na oração e na esperança, porque a vitória pertence aos que não se rendem.
Força na fraqueza
Os que esperam no Senhor renovam as forças. Deus não se cansa nem se fatiga — Ele dá poder aos fracos e vigor aos cansados.
"ʻIkai naʻa ke ʻilo?
ʻIkai naʻa ke fanongo,
ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua taʻengata ia,
ko e Tupuʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, ʻoku ʻikai pongia ia,
pea ʻoku ʻikai vaivai?
ʻOku taʻefaʻaʻiloʻi ʻa ʻene ʻilo.
ʻOku ne foaki ʻae mālohi ki he vaivai;
pea kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau mālohi ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae mālohi.
ʻIo ʻe pongia ʻae fānau tupu pea vaivai,
pea ʻe hinga ʻaupito mo e kau talavou:
Ka ko kinautolu ʻoku tatali kia Sihova ʻe fakafoʻou honau mālohi;
te nau puna hake ʻaki ʻae kapakau ʻo hangē ko e fanga ʻikale;
te nau lele ka e ʻikai vaivai;
pea te nau ʻeveʻeva, kā ʻe ʻikai pongia."
Koeʻuhi ʻe nofo ʻae kakai ʻi Saione ʻi Selūsalema: ʻe ʻikai te ke toe tangi: te ne fai lelei lahi kiate koe ʻi he leʻo ʻo hoʻo tangi; ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai, te ne talia koe.
Ka ko eni, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi koe, ʻE Sēkope,
pea ko ia naʻe fakafuofua koe, ʻE ʻIsileli,
"ʻOua ʻe manavahē: he kuo u huhuʻi koe,
kuo u ui koe ʻaki ho hingoa;
ʻoku ʻaʻaku koe.
ʻOka ke ka ʻalu ʻi he vai, te u ʻiate koe;
pea ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe, ʻe ʻikai te ke melemo ai:
ʻoka ke ka ʻalu ʻi he afi, ʻe ʻikai te ke vela;
pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake ʻiate koe ʻae ulo afi.
He ko au ko Sihova ko ho ʻOtua,
ko e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli,
ko ho Fakamoʻui:
naʻaku foaki ʻa ʻIsipite ko ho huhuʻi,
ʻa ʻItiopea mo Sipa maʻau.
ʻOku ou ʻilo ke fai ʻi he masiva, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo ke fai ʻi he maʻu ʻo lahi: kuo akonekina au ʻi he potu kotoa pē mo e meʻa kotoa pē ke mākona pe fiekaia, ke u maʻu ʻo lahi pea ke kātaki ʻae masiva. ʻOku ou faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi ʻoku ne fakamālohiʻi au.
Ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai te mau vaivai: ka ʻi he fakaʻaʻau ʻo mole homau tangata ʻituʻa, ʻoku fakafoʻou ʻae loto ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē. He ko homau mamahi maʻamaʻa ni, ʻaia ʻoku ʻosingofua, ʻoku fakatupu maʻamautolu ʻae lelei ʻoku lahi hake fakamanavahē ʻaupito ʻaupito pea mamafa mo taʻengata; Kae ʻikai ʻi he ʻemau siofia ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hāmai, ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai hāmai: he ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hāmai, ʻoku ʻosingofua; ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai hāmai, ʻoku taʻengata ia.
Perseverança na fé
Não perca a confiança, pois ela tem grande recompensa. O justo viverá pela fé, e quem perseverar até o fim será salvo.
Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa siʻaki hoʻomou tui, ʻaia ʻoku lahi hono totongi lelei.
Ke tau puke maʻu ʻae fakahā ʻoe tau tui ʻo taʻengaueue; (he ʻoku moʻoni ia kuo ne fakaʻilo;) Pea tau fetokangaʻaki ke fefakaʻaiʻaiʻaki ʻakitautolu ki he ʻofa mo e ngaahi ngaue lelei: Ke ʻoua naʻa siʻaki ʻekitautolu ʻe tau faʻa fakataha ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he niʻihi; kae feakonakiʻaki ʻakimoutolu: pea ʻāsili ai, ko hoʻomou ʻilo ʻoku ofi mai ʻae ʻaho.
Ka ʻi he taʻemaʻu ʻae tui ʻoku ʻikai mafai hono fakafiemālieʻi: he ko ia ʻoku haʻu ki he ʻOtua, ʻoku totonu ke ne tui ʻoku ai ia, pea ʻoku ne totongi kiate kinautolu ʻoku kumi lahi kiate ia.
He ko e folofola ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku moʻui, mo mālohi, pea māsila lahi ʻi ha heletā ʻoku fakatoumata, ʻoku ʻasi ki hono vaheʻi ʻoe loto mo e laumālie, mo e ngaahi hokotanga hui mo e uho, pea ʻoku ne fakahā ʻae ngaahi mahalo mo e filioʻi ʻoe loto.
Pea ke ʻoua naʻa tau fiu ʻi he fai lelei: he te tau utu ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu totonu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te tau vaivai.
Vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu fakavave: kuku ke maʻu ʻaia ʻoku ke maʻu, ke ʻoua naʻa faʻao ho pale ʻe ha taha kehe.
Ko eni ʻae faʻa kātaki ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni: ko ʻeni ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi fekau ʻae ʻOtua, mo e tui kia Sisu.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ne kātaki ʻae ʻahiʻahi: he ʻoka ʻilo ia ʻoku lelei, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae pale ʻoe moʻui, ʻaia kuo talaʻofa ki ai ʻae ʻEiki kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia.
Deus é refúgio
O Senhor é nosso refúgio e fortaleza. Ele ouve nossas orações, nos consola nas tribulações e transforma choro em dança.
Ko e ʻOtua ko hotau hūfanga mo e mālohi, ko e tokoni lahi pea ofi ʻi he mamahi.
Ke ke tuku hoʻo kavenga kia Sihova, pea te ne poupou koe:
ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne tuku ke ngaue ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni.
Pea ko e hūfanga foki ʻa Sihova ki he mamahi,
ko e kalofanga ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamamahi.
Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻilo ki ho huafa te nau falala kiate koe:
he ko koe, ʻE Sihova, naʻe ʻikai te ke siʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi kiate koe.
Ko kinautolu ʻoku tūtuuʻi ʻi he loʻimata te nau tuʻusi ʻi he fiefia.
Ko ia ʻoku ne ʻalu atu ʻo tangi, pea ʻave ʻae tenga mahuʻinga,
te ne toe haʻu ʻi he fiefia, mo ʻomi ʻene ngaahi ū uite fakataha mo ia.
Ke mou lototoʻa, pea te ne fakamālohi homou loto,
ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻamanaki lelei kia Sihova.
Ko hoʻo folofola ko e tūhulu ia ki hoku vaʻe,
mo e maama ki hoku hala.
ʻOku ofi ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu kotoa pē kuo ui ki heʻene ʻafio,
kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nau ui kiate ia ʻi he moʻoni.
Te ne fai ki he holi ʻanautolu ʻoku manavahē kiate ia:
ʻe fanongo foki ia ki heʻenau tangi, pea te ne fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu.
Vitória em Cristo
Jesus venceu o mundo e nos dá vitória. Para Deus nada é impossível, e Ele faz infinitamente mais do que pedimos ou pensamos.
Kuo u tala ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke mou maʻu ʻae fiemālie ʻiate au. Te mou maʻu ʻae mamahi ʻi māmani: ka mou lototoʻa; kuo u ikuʻi ʻa māmani."
Pea talu mei ai naʻe foki ki mui ʻae tokolahi ʻo ʻene kau ākonga, ʻo ʻikai toe ʻalu mo ia. Pea lea ai ʻa Sisu ki he toko hongofulu ma toko ua, "ʻE ʻalu mo kimoutolu foki? Pea leaange ʻa Saimone Pita kiate ia, "ʻEiki, te mau ʻalu kia hai? ʻOku ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe moʻui taʻengata. Pea ʻoku mau tui pea ʻilo pau ko koe ko e Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻoe ʻOtua moʻui."
"ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ke tuēnoa ʻakimoutolu: te u haʻu kiate kimoutolu.
"Kole, pea ʻe foaki ia kiate kimoutolu; kumi, pea te mou ʻilo; tukituki, pea ʻe toʻo ia kiate kimoutolu: He ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kole, ʻoku ne maʻu; pea ko ia ʻoku kumi, ʻoku ne ʻilo; pea ko ia ʻoku tukituki, ʻe toʻo kiate ia.
"Haʻu kiate au ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku feinga mo māfasia, pea te u foaki ʻae fiemālie kiate kimoutolu. 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."
Pea vakai ʻe Sisu, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, "ʻOku ʻikai faʻa fai eni ʻe he tangata; ka ʻoku faʻa fai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa kotoa pē."
He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe faingataʻa ki he ʻOtua."
Esperança e transformação
O Senhor completa a boa obra que começou em nós. Ele faz novas todas as coisas e dá esperança para o futuro.
ʻOku ou ʻilo pau ʻae meʻa ko eni, koeʻuhi ko ia kuo ne kamata ʻae ngāue lelei ʻiate kimoutolu, te ne fakahaohaoa ia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo Sisu Kalaisi:
Ko ia kapau ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi ha taha, ko e fakatupu foʻou ia: kuo mole atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa motuʻa; vakai, kuo hoko ʻo foʻou ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.
Pea ne u mamata ki he langi foʻou mo e fonua foʻou: he kuo mole atu ʻae ʻuluaki langi mo e ʻuluaki fonua: pea naʻe ʻikai kei ʻi ai ha tahi. Pea ko au Sione, ne u mamata ki he kolo māʻoniʻoni, ko Selūsalema foʻou, ʻoku ʻalu hifo mei he ʻOtua ʻi he langi, kuo teuteu ʻo hangē ha taʻahine kuo teu ki hono ʻeiki taʻane. Pea ne u fanongo ki he leʻo lahi mei he langi, ʻoku pehē, "Vakai, ko e fale fehikitaki ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi he kakai, pea ʻe nofo ia mo kinautolu; pea te nau hoko ko hono kakai, pea ʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae ʻOtua, ko honau ʻOtua. Pea ʻe holoholo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae loʻimata kotoa pē mei honau mata; pea ʻe ʻikai kei ai ha mate, pe ha ongosia, pe ha tangi, pea ʻe ʻikai kei ai ha mamahi: he kuo mole atu ʻae ngaahi meʻa muʻa."
ʻOku lelei ʻa Sihova, ko e hūfanga mālohi ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi; pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku falala kiate ia.
He ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, kuo u tuʻutuʻuni kiate kimoutolu, ko e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ki he fiemālie, kae ʻikai ki he kovi, koeʻuhi ke foaki hoʻomou ʻamanaki kiate kimoutolu ʻi he ikuʻanga.
Ko ia ke mou mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke vaivai homou nima: he ko hoʻomou ngāue ʻe totongi ia."
Permanecendo firme
Persevere na oração, firme-se na Palavra e fortaleça-se na graça de Cristo. A fé vem pelo ouvir, e o ouvir pela Palavra de Deus.
ʻOua naʻa fakapikopiko ʻi he ngāue: ka mou loto vela; ʻo tauhi ki he ʻEiki; ʻO fiefia ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei; pea faʻa kātaki ʻi he mamahi; pea fai maʻu ʻo fakakukafi ʻi he lotu;
ʻO fiefia ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei; pea faʻa kātaki ʻi he mamahi; pea fai maʻu ʻo fakakukafi ʻi he lotu;
ʻAe kāinga ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa mou fai ʻae totongi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ka mou fakaʻataʻatā ki he houhau: he kuo tohi, "ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae totongi; ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻEiki," te u totongi pē ʻeau.
Ko ia, ʻoku mei he fanongo ʻae tui, mo e fanongo mei he folofola ʻae ʻOtua.
Pea ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku fengāueʻaki fakataha ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke lelei ai ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ʻakinautolu kuo ui ʻo tatau mo ʻene tuʻutuʻuni.
ʻOku foaki mai ʻae Tohitapu kotoa pē ʻi he fakamānava ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻaonga ia ki he akonaki, mo e valoki, mo e fakatonutonu, mo e fakapoto ki he māʻoniʻoni: Koeʻuhi ke haohaoa ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea kakato hono teuteu ki he ngaahi ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
Puke ke maʻu ʻae sino ʻoe ngaahi lea haohaoa, ʻaia naʻa ke fanongo ai ʻiate au, ʻi he tui mo e ʻofa ʻaia ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu. Ko e meʻa lelei ko ia naʻe tuku kiate koe ke ke tauhi ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakitautolu.
Pea ko eni, ko hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi pe, mo e ʻOtua, ko ʻetau Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne ʻofeina ʻakitautolu, ʻo ne foaki mai ʻae fiemālie taʻengata mo e ʻamanaki lelei ʻi he ʻaloʻofa, Ke ne fakafiemālie ki homou loto, pea fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lea mo e ngaue lelei kotoa pē.
Kapau te tau vete ʻetau ngaahi angahala, ʻoku moʻoni mo angatonu ia ke fakamolemolea ʻetau ngaahi angahala, mo fakamaʻa ʻakitautolu mei he taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē.
Pea ko eni ʻae mālohi ʻaia ʻoku tau maʻu kiate ia, koeʻuhi, katau ka kole ha meʻa ʻo fakatatau ki hono finangalo, ʻoku ne ongoʻi ʻakitautolu: Pea kapau ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku ne ongoʻi ʻakitautolu, ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku tau kolea, ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku tau maʻu ʻae ngaahi kole naʻa tau holi ai kiate ia.
ʻOku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku tui ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻamanaki lelei ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku kātaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē.
