Molonai 9:1–20

ʻOku tangilaulau ʻa Molomona koeʻuhí ko e angahala ʻa e kau Nīfaí mo e kau Leimaná

Kole ki he kau akó ke nau fakakaukauloto pe kuo ʻi ai ha taimi ne nau feinga ai ke tokoniʻi ha taha, ka ne e fakasītuʻaʻi.

Fakamatalaʻi ange ki he kalasí ko e Molonai 9 ko ha tohi ne fai ʻe he palōfita ko Molomoná ki hono foha ko Molonaí. Fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau kumi e founga ne fakalotolahiʻi ai ʻe Molomona ʻa hono fohá.

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e Molonai 9:1. Kole ki he kalasí ke nau muimui, ʻo kumi ʻa e lea ne fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe Molomona ke fakamatalaʻi ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e kau Nīfaí. Hili e tali ʻa e kau akó, mahalo naʻa fie maʻu ke ke fakamatala ʻoku ʻuhinga e foʻi lea fakamamahí ki ha meʻa ʻoku matuʻaki uhu, fakahohaʻa, pe ʻikai fakafiefia.

Tohi ʻa e ngahi potufolofola fakafekauʻaki ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé: Molonai 9:2–5; Molonai 9:7–10; Molonai 9:16–19. Vahevahe ʻa e kau akó ki ha kulupu ʻe tolu. Vahe ki he kulupu takitaha ke nau lau ha taha ʻo e ngaahi veesi folofola ʻoku hiki he palakipoé, ʻo kumi ha ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi ne fakamatalaʻi ʻe Molomona. Fakaafeʻi ha toko taha ako mei he kulupu taki taha ke lipooti ʻa e meʻa ne nau ʻiló. (Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke fakamatala e kau ako ne vahe ki ai e Molonai 9:2–5 ki he ʻitá, te ke lava ʻo fakamatala ki he kaunga ʻo e ʻitá ki he ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi ne fakamatala ki ai ʻa Molomoná.)

Fakaafeʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e kau akó ke nau taufetongi ʻi hono lau leʻolahi e Molomona 9:11–15, 20. Kole ki he kau akó ke nau kumi e ngaahi ʻuhinga ne mamahi ai ʻa Molomona ko e tūkunga ne ʻi ai hono kakaí. ʻEke ange e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení ke tokoni ki hono ʻanalaiso ʻe he kau akó e ngaahi veesi ko ʻení:

ʻOkú ke pehē ʻoku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e “taʻe-fakasivilaise”? Molonai 9:11 (Ke anga taʻe-fakasivilaise—ʻikai hano fakaleleiʻi pe fakangatangata; ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapaʻi e niʻihi kehé; ke taʻetokaʻi e ngaahi lao ʻokú ne puleʻi ʻa e sosaietí.)
ʻOkú ke pehē ʻoku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e “ʻikai ke … [ʻi ai] haʻanau ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni”? Molonai 9:20(Ke moʻui taʻe ʻi ai ha tuʻunga moʻui pea ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapaʻi mo tauhi e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá.)
ʻOkú ke pehē ʻoku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e “ʻikai te nau toe maʻu ha ʻofa”? (Molonai 9:20). (Ke loto fefeka ki he Laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá mo e Maama ʻo Kalaisí pea ʻikai ke fakafaikehekeheʻi ʻa e totonú mei he halá.)
Ko e hā ha fakamoʻoni ʻokú ke sio ki ai ʻi māmani he ʻahó ni ʻo ha kakai ʻoku taʻe-fakasivilaise, ʻikai ke ʻiate kinautolu haʻanau ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni, pea ʻikai te nau toe maʻu ha ʻofa?

Te ke lava ʻo fakamahino ange ne pehē ʻe Molomona ne tō ʻa hono kakaí ki he tuʻunga faiangahala ko ʻení ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu siʻi pē (vakai, Molonai 9:12).

Fakamatalaʻi ange ne hangē pē ʻa Molomona ko e palōfita ko ʻEtá, ʻo e puleʻanga ʻo e kau Sēletí, ʻo mamata ki he ʻita mo e angahala naʻá ne ikunaʻi ʻa hono kakaí. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e Molonai 9:4. Kole ange ki he kalasí ke nau muimui pea fakafanongo ki he meʻa ne manavasiʻi ki ai ʻa Molonai ʻo kau ki he kau Nīfaí. (Naʻá ne manavasiʻi na “kuo tuku ʻe he Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí ʻa ʻene fengāueʻaki mo kinautolú.”)

Ne pehē ʻe Molomona naʻá ne “ngāue mo [hono kakaí] maʻu ai pē.” Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻe lava ai ʻa Molomona, pe ko ha taki ʻo e Siasí he ʻahó ni, ʻo hokohoko atu e ngāue ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ha kakai ʻoku ʻita mo fakafefeka honau lotó ki he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá?

Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku moʻoni ʻeni neongo ʻoku halaia e kakai ʻoku tau tokoniʻí ʻi ha angahala mamafa. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e Molonai 9:6. Kole ki he kau akó ke nau muimui, ʻo kumi ha ngaahi ʻuhinga ke tau ngāue faivelenga ai maʻá e ʻOtuá, neongo ʻoku ʻikai tali lelei ia ʻe kinautolu ʻoku tau tokoniʻí. Hili e lipooti ʻe he kau akó e meʻa ne nau ʻiló, fakamatala ange e ngaahi tūkunga ko ʻení kiate kinautolu (pe ko haʻo faʻu pē ʻe koe ha niʻihi) ke tokoni ke nau fakakaukau ki he founga ʻe lava ke fakaʻaongaʻi ai e foʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi heʻenau moʻuí.
