ʻOku akoʻi ʻe Molomona ʻoku moʻui ʻa e fānaú īkí ʻia Kalaisi

Kimuʻa pea kamata e kalasí, fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e fakatātā Ko Hono Papitaiso ʻo ha Taʻahinée Tohi Fakatātā ʻo e Ongoongoleleí [2009], fika 104) pe ko ha tā kehe pē ʻo ha fānau taʻu valu ʻi hono papitaisó. Hiki e fehuʻi ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé:

ʻI he aʻu mai ʻa e kau akó, fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau sio ki he fakatātaá pea fakakaukauloto ki he fehuʻi he palakipoé.

ʻI he kamata ʻa e kalasí, fakamatala ki he kau akó ne akoʻi ʻe Molomona ʻi haʻane tohi ki hono foha ko Molonaí ʻo kau ki he fakamoʻui ʻo e fānau īkí. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e Molonai 8:4–6, pea kole ki he kalasí ke nau kumi ʻa e meʻa ne hohaʻa ki ai ʻa Molomoná. (Mahalo naʻa fie maʻu ke ke fakamatalaʻi ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e foʻi lea ko efuʻú ʻi he veesi 6, ko ha meʻa ʻoku mamafa, fakamā, pe lahi.)

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e Molonai 8:8–9 , pea kole ange ki he kalasí ke nau kumi e tali ki he lotu ʻa Molomoná. ʻI hono lipooti ʻe he kau akó ʻa e meʻa ne nau ʻiló, mahalo naʻa fie maʻu ke ke fakamatalaʻi ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e kupuʻi lea “malaʻia ʻo ʻĀtamá” ki hono fakamavaheʻi ʻo ʻĀtama mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá koeʻuhí ko e Hingá. ʻOku faʻa maʻuhala e kakai ʻe niʻihi ʻo tui ʻoku fāʻeleʻi e fānau kotoa ʻi ha tuʻunga angahalaʻia koeʻuhí ko e Hingá. ʻI he fakakaukauhalá ni, ʻoku nau pehē ai tokua ʻoku taʻetaau e fānau īkí ke ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo kapau te nau mate ʻoku teʻeki papitaiso kinautolu. ʻI hoʻo fakamatalaʻi ʻení, mahalo naʻa fie maʻu ke ke ʻai ke lau ʻe he kau akó ʻa e tefito ʻo e tui hono uá.

ʻOku akoʻi ʻe Molomona ʻa e meʻa kuo pau ke fai ʻe kinautolu ʻoku lava ke ʻekea meiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi ngāué kae lava ke nau nofo mo e ʻOtuá

Fakamahino ange ne hili hono fakahaaʻi ʻe Molomona ʻa ʻene hohaʻa koʻeuhí ko e kau Nīfaí, naʻá ne pehē, “Lotua ʻa kinautolu, ʻe hoku foha koeʻuhí ke hoko kiate kinautolu ʻa e fakatomalá.” Fakamanatu ange ki he kau akó ʻa e mālohi ʻe lava ke hoko ʻi he moʻui ʻa e kakaí ʻi he taimi ʻoku lotua ai kinautolu ʻe he niʻihi kehé.
