Ko e Ongo Sākalamēniti na‘e tu‘utu‘uni ‘e hotau ‘Eiki ko Kalaisí, ko e Papitaiso mo e ‘Ohomohe ‘a e ‘Eikí.

‘Oku tau tui ko e Papitaiso ‘oku faí ko e fakahaa‘i ‘o e kau ki he Siasí. Ko e fatongia mahu‘inga ‘o e Siasí ‘oku tō ki he mātu‘a ‘a e fānau valevale kuo papitaisó. ‘Oku ‘anautolu ke fafanga mo akonekina fakalaumālie ‘a e fānau valevalé kae ‘oua kuo nau tali ‘a Kalaisi, pea tupu mei he‘enau fakamo‘oni ‘o ‘enau tuí ke sila‘i honau papitaisó.

‘Oku tau tui ko e ‘Ohomohe ‘a e ‘Eikí ko e fakamo‘oni ‘o hotau huhu‘í: ko e fakamanatu ‘o e mamahi mo e pekia ‘a Kalaisí, pea ko e fakahā‘anga ‘o e taha mo e fe‘ofo‘ofani ‘a e kakai Kalisitiané mo Kalaisi, mo e kakai kotoa pē. Ko kinautolu ‘oku fai mo‘oni, taau mo fai ‘apasia ‘enau kai mei he mā kuo pakipakí mo inu mei he ipu fakafeta‘í, ‘oku nau ma‘u ‘inasi fakalaumālie ‘i he sino mo e ta‘ata‘a ‘o Kalaisí ‘o a‘u ki he ‘ene toe hā‘ele mai.

Ko e ‘uhinga ‘o e lea Sākalamēnití ko e me‘a ia ‘oku hā ‘i tu‘a, ‘a ia na‘e tu‘utu‘uni ‘e Kalaisi mo faka‘ilonga ‘o ha kelesi ‘oku ta‘e hā mo fakalaumālie, ‘a ia ‘oku foaki kiate kitautolu; pea tala‘ehai ko e faka‘ilonga pē, ka ko e founga foki ‘o e kelesi ko iá, mo e fakamo‘oni kiate kitautolu ‘oku ‘i ai ia. Ko e sila ia mo e fakamo‘oni ‘o e kovinānite ‘ofa ‘oku tu‘u ‘ia Kalaisí: pea ko e ngaahi me‘a ‘oku ‘i he kovinānite ko iá ‘oku motu mei he ‘Otuá ‘i he‘ene tala‘ofá, ka ‘oku toki pau ma‘a e tangatá ‘i he‘ene talangofua ki he ngaahi tu‘utu‘uní.

Luke 22:19-20. Na‘a ne to‘o foki ha fo‘i mā, ‘o ne fakafeta‘i, mo ne pakipaki ‘o ‘ange kiate kinautolu, ‘o ne pehē, Ko hoku sinó ‘eni, ‘a ia ‘oku foaki koe‘uhi ko kimoutolu: mou fai eni ko hoku fakamanatu. Na‘a ne to‘o pehē foki ‘a e ipú, hili ‘a e ‘Ohomohé, ‘o ne pehē, ko e ipu ni ko e fuakava fo‘ou ia ‘oku fai ‘aki hoku totó, ‘a ia ‘oku lilingi koe‘uhi ko kimoutolu.
