How to fix this leaking hot water line connection from hot water tank?

It’s leaking for hours, thank god I went down there to grab something and noticed it, was in panic for two minutes. I put some teflon tape around where it’s leaking and tighten it up with just hand, it stopped leaking for now, but I still kept off the water feed into the tank just in case cuz I believe it’s a temporary fix. Looks like I have to cut the pipe off and put new ones on and do the soldering? Or just call a plumber ?

Appreciate it.
