Pais
Deus é nosso Pai celestial — amoroso, provedor, disciplinador e fiel. As Escrituras também honram os pais terrenos e os chamam a criar os filhos na instrução do Senhor.
O Pai celestial
Deus é Pai de misericórdias. Ele nos adotou como filhos, nos ama incondicionalmente e cuida de cada detalhe da nossa vida.
Vakai ki hono anga ʻoe ʻofa kuo foaki mai ʻe he Tamai kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ʻi he ui ʻakitautolu ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloa ai ʻakitautolu ʻe māmani, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻilo ia.
Vakai ki hono anga ʻoe ʻofa kuo foaki mai ʻe he Tamai kiate kitautolu, koeʻuhi ʻi he ui ʻakitautolu ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloa ai ʻakitautolu ʻe māmani, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻilo ia.
He ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻekimoutolu ʻae laumālie ʻoe pōpula, ke mou toe manavahē; ka kuo mou maʻu ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ohi, ʻaia ʻoku tau tangi ai, "ʻApā, Tamai." Pea ʻoku fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumālie pē ko ia mo hotau laumālie, ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakitautolu:
Ka ko ia kotoa pē naʻe maʻu ia, naʻa ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae monūʻia ke hoko ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua, kiate kinautolu pe naʻe tui ki hono huafa:
Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻofa mo e melino mei he ʻOtua ko e Tamai, pea mo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi,
Pea hangē ʻoku manavaʻofa ʻae tamai ki heʻene fānau,
ʻoku pehē ʻae manavaʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia.
Pea hangē ʻoku manavaʻofa ʻae tamai ki heʻene fānau,
ʻoku pehē ʻae manavaʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau manavahē kiate ia.
He ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hotau anga;
ʻoku ne manatu ko e efu pe ʻakitautolu.
Ko e tamai ʻae ʻOtua ki he tamai mate,
mo e fakamaau ia ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga māʻoniʻoni,
ki he kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti.
Ka ko eni, ʻE Sihova, ko koe ko ʻemau tamai;
ko e ʻumea ʻakimautolu, pea ko homau ngaohi koe:
pea ko e ngāue ʻa ho nima ʻakimautolu kotoa pē.
Ko e moʻoni ko ʻemau tamai koe,
neongo ʻoku taʻeʻilo ʻakimautolu ʻe ʻEpalahame,
pea taʻetokangaʻi ʻakimautolu ʻe ʻIsileli:
ko koe, ʻE Sihova, ko ʻemau tamai,
ko homau huhuʻi; talu mei muʻa ʻoku taʻetupu ʻa ho huafa.
He kuo fanauʻi kiate kitautolu ʻae tamasiʻi, kuo foaki kiate kitautolu ʻae foha: pea ʻe ʻi hono uma ʻae pule: pea ʻe ui hono huafa ko Fakaofo, ko ʻAkonaki, ko e ʻOtua Māfimafi, ko e Tamai Taʻengata, ko e ʻEiki ʻoe Melino.

O cuidado paterno de Deus
O Pai celestial sabe do que precisamos antes de pedirmos. Ele dá boas dádivas aos filhos que pedem e cuida até dos passarinhos.
Vakai ki he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā: ʻoku ʻikai te nau tūtuuʻi pe tuʻusi, pe fetuku ki ha feleoko; ka ʻoku fafanga ʻakinautolu ʻe hoʻomou Tamai ʻi he langi. ʻIkai ʻoku lahi hake ʻakimoutolu ʻiate kinautolu?
ʻIkai ʻoku fakatau ʻae hikiʻi manupuna ʻe ua ʻaki ʻae paʻanga siʻi ʻe taha? Ka ʻe ʻikai haʻana taha ʻe tō ki he kelekele ka ʻi he loto ʻo hoʻomou Tamai. Ka ko e ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻo homou ʻulu kuo lau kotoa pē. Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou manavahē, he ʻoku mou mahuʻinga lahi ʻi he fanga hikiʻi manu lahi.
Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka lotu, hū ki hoʻo potu lilo, pea kuo tāpuni ho matapā, lotu ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo; pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, ʻe totongi fakahā ʻe ia kiate koe.
Ka ko koe, ʻoka ke ka ʻaukai, pani ho ʻulu, mo kaukauʻi ho mata; Koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa hā hoʻo ʻaukai ki he kakai, ka ki hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he lilo: pea ko hoʻo Tamai ʻaia ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻi he lilo, te ne totongi fakahā kiate koe.
Ko e tamai fē ʻiate kimoutolu, kapau ʻe kole mā ʻa hono foha, te ne ʻange ki ai ha maka? Pe ko e ika, ʻe tuku ʻae ika kae ʻatu ki ai ha ngata? Pe ʻi heʻene kole ʻae foʻi manu, te ne ʻatu ki ai ha sikopio? 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?"
"ʻAe fanga sipi siʻi, ʻOua ʻe manavahē he ko e finangalo lelei ʻo hoʻomou Tamai ke foaki ʻae puleʻanga kiate kimoutolu.
Ko e foaki lelei kotoa pē mo e foaki haohaoa kotoa pē ʻoku mei ʻolunga, pea ʻoku ʻalu hifo ia mei he Tamai ʻoe ngaahi maama, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha fetoʻoaki, pe ko e ʻata ʻae feliliuʻaki.
Ko ia ia naʻe ʻikai te ne mamae ki hono ʻAlo ʻoʻona, ka ne tukuange ia koeʻuhi ko kitautolu kotoa pē, pea fēfē, ʻe ʻikai te ne foaki fiemālie foki mo ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kiate kitautolu?
Conhecer o Pai
Jesus é o caminho para o Pai. Ninguém conhece o Pai senão o Filho e aquele a quem o Filho quiser revelar.
Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, "Ko au ko e hala, mo e moʻoni, pea mo e moʻui: ʻoku ʻikai haʻu ha tangata ʻe taha ki he Tamai, kae ʻiate au.
ʻI he fale ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ai ʻae ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoku lahi: ka ne ʻikai, pehē kuo u tala ia kiate kimoutolu. ʻOku ou ʻalu ke teuteu ha potu moʻomoutolu.
Pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē te mou kole ʻi hoku huafa, te u fai ia, koeʻuhi ke fakaongoongolelei ʻae Tamai ʻi he ʻAlo.
"Ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo fai ki ai, ko ia ia ʻoku ʻofa kiate au: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻofa kiate au, ʻe ʻofa ʻa ʻeku Tamai kiate ia, pea te u ʻofa mo au kiate ia, pea te u fakahā au kiate ia."
Pea leaange ʻa Sisu, ʻo pehē kiate ia, "Kapau ʻoku ʻofa ha tangata kiate au, te ne fai ʻeku lea: pea ʻe ʻofa ʻa ʻeku Tamai kiate ia, pea te mā omi kiate ia, ʻo nofomaʻu mo ia.
ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha kuo ne mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻi ha kuonga; ko e ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fatafata ʻoe Tamai, kuo ne fakahā ia.
Pea ʻoku ou foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae moʻui taʻengata; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te nau ʻauha, pe ʻe ʻikai ha taha te ne hamusi ʻakinautolu mei hoku nima. Ko ʻeku Tamai, ʻaia naʻa ne foaki mai kiate au, ʻoku lahi taha pe ia; pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku faʻa hamusi mei he nima ʻo ʻeku Tamai. Ko au mo e Tamai ʻoku ma taha pe.
ʻE Tamai, ko hoku loto foki kiate kinautolu kuo ke foaki kiate au, ke nau ʻiate au ʻi he potu ʻoku ou ʻi ai: koeʻuhi ke nau mamata ki hoku nāunau, ʻaia kuo ke foaki kiate au: he naʻa ke ʻofa kiate au ʻoku teʻeki ke fakatupu ʻa māmani.
"Kuo tuku ʻae meʻa kotoa pē kiate au ʻe heʻeku Tamai: pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae ʻAlo ʻe ha taha, ka ko e Tamai pe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻae Tamai ʻe ha taha, ka ko e ʻAlo pe, mo ia ʻe fakahā ia ki ai ʻe he ʻAlo.
Ko ia ke haohaoa ʻakimoutolu he ʻoku haohaoa ʻa hoʻomou Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langi.
Kae ʻoua naʻa ui ʻakimoutolu ‘Lāpai:’ he ʻoku taha pe homou ʻEiki, ko Kalaisi; pea ko e kāinga pe ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē. Pea ʻoua naʻa ui ha tokotaha ʻi māmani ko hoʻomou tamai; he ʻoku taha pe hoʻomou Tamai, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi.
ʻOku ke mahalo ʻe ʻikai te u faʻa lotu ni ki heʻeku Tamai, pea te ne tuku leva ni kiate au ʻae kau ʻāngelo ke lahi ʻi he lisione ʻe hongofulu ma ua?
Ko ia mou manavaʻofa,
ʻo hangē foki ko e manavaʻofa ʻa hoʻomou Tamai.
Pea ko eni, ke ʻi he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai ʻae nāunau ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻEmeni.
Disciplina e amor paterno
O Pai disciplina os filhos que ama. A correção divina produz fruto de justiça e paz para aqueles que foram exercitados por ela.
Kapau te mou kātaki ʻae tautea, pea ʻoku fai ai ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kimoutolu ʻo taau mo e ngaahi foha; he ko e foha fē ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ke tauteʻi ʻe he tamai? Pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai tautea ʻakimoutolu, ʻaia ʻoku totofu ai kotoa pē, pea ta ko e tupu feʻauaki ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni ko e ngaahi foha. Kaeʻumaʻā naʻe tautea ʻakitautolu ʻe he ngaahi tamai ʻo hotau sino, pea tau fakaʻapaʻapa ki ai: ʻe ʻikai lahi muʻa ʻetau fakavaivai ki he Tamai ʻoe ngaahi laumālie, pea moʻui? He ko e moʻoni naʻa nau tautea ʻo faʻiteliha pe ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho siʻi pe; ka ʻoku fai ʻe ia ke ʻaonga, ke tau kau ai ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni.
ʻE hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa ke manukiʻi ʻae tautea meia Sihova;
pea ʻoua naʻa ke fiu ʻi heʻene valoki:
He ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻoku ne tautea;
ʻo hangē pe ko e tamai ki he foha ʻoku ne fiemālie ai.
ʻE hoku foha, ʻoua naʻa ke manukiʻi ʻae tautea meia Sihova;

Pais terrenos
A Bíblia honra os pais que criam os filhos nos caminhos de Deus. Honrar pai e mãe é mandamento com promessa de vida longa.
ʻAe fānau, mou talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻa ʻi he ʻEiki: he ʻoku totonu eni. "Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē;" ko e ʻuluaki fekau ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae talaʻofa; "Koeʻuhi ke lelei kiate koe, pea koeʻuhi ke ke moʻui fuoloa ai ʻi he fonua." Pea ko kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi tamai, ʻoua naʻa mou fakatupu lili ki hoʻomou fānau: kae tauhi ʻakinautolu ʻi he akonaki mo e fakapoto ki he ʻEiki.
Pea ko kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi tamai, ʻoua naʻa mou fakatupu lili ki hoʻomou fānau: kae tauhi ʻakinautolu ʻi he akonaki mo e fakapoto ki he ʻEiki.
"Fakaʻapaʻapa ki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē: koeʻuhi ke fuoloa ho ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he fonua ʻoku foaki ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua kiate koe.
ʻE hoku foha, fanongo ki he akonaki ʻa hoʻo tamai,
pea ʻoua naʻa ke liʻaki ʻae fekau ʻa hoʻo faʻē:
Koeʻuhi ʻe hoko ia ko e teunga lelei ki ho ʻulu,
mo e kahoa ke tautau ki ho kia.
ʻE fiefia lahi ʻae tamai ʻaʻana ʻoku māʻoniʻoni:
pea ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae tamasiʻi ʻoku poto ʻe fiefia ia ʻiate ia.
ʻOku fehiʻa ʻae vale ki he akonaki ʻa ʻene tamai:
ka ʻoku fakapotopoto ia ʻaia ʻoku tokanga ki he valoki.
Ko e fānau ʻae fānau ko e tatā ia ʻoe kau mātuʻa:
pea ko e lelei ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tamai.
Ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku kape ki heʻene tamai pe ki heʻene faʻē,
ʻe tāmateʻi ke mate ʻa hono maama ʻi he fakapoʻuli ʻoe ʻuliʻuli.
ʻAe fānau, fai talangofua ki hoʻomou mātuʻa ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē: he ʻoku lelei lahi ia ki he ʻEiki. ʻAe ngaahi tamai, ʻoua naʻa mou fakafiufiu ki hoʻomou fānau, telia naʻa nau fiu ai.
Vakai, ko e fānau ko e tofiʻa meia Sihova:
pea ko e fua ʻoe manāva ko ʻene totongi.
Hangē ko e ngaahi ngahau ʻi he nima ʻoe tangata mālohi;
ʻoku pehē ʻae fānau ʻae talavou.
ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻaia ʻoku fonu ʻene hōfangahau ʻiate kinautolu:
ʻe ʻikai tenau mā, ka tenau lea ki he ngaahi fili ʻi he matapā.
Ko e kakai moʻui, ko e kakai moʻui, ko ia ʻe fakamālō kiate koe,
ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku ou fai ʻi he ʻaho ni: ʻe fakahā hoʻo moʻoni ʻe he tamai ki he fānau.
ʻE ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi tamai ko e fetongi ʻo ʻenau fānau, pea ʻe ʻikai tāmateʻi ʻae fānau koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi tamai: ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae tangata taki taha ʻi heʻene angahala ʻaʻana.
He ko e holi lahi ʻoe māmani, ʻoku tatali ia ki he fakahā ʻae fānau ʻae ʻOtua.
ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻiloʻi ia ʻoku mei he kamataʻanga. ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae kau talavou, koeʻuhi kuo mou ikuna ʻae tokotaha angakovi. ʻOku ou tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae fānau siʻi, koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻiloʻi ʻae Tamai.
Kuo u tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae ngaahi tamai, koeʻuhi kuo mou ʻiloʻi ia ʻoku mei he kamataʻanga. Kuo u tohi kiate kimoutolu, ʻae kau talavou, koeʻuhi ʻoku mou mālohi, pea ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he folofola ʻae ʻOtua, pea kuo mou ikuʻi ʻae tokotaha angakovi.
ʻOua naʻa ʻofa ki māmani, pe ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻi he māmani. Kapau ʻoku ʻofa ha taha ki māmani, ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate ia ʻae ʻofa ʻae Tamai.
