Naʻe kau ʻi he fuʻu kakaí ha kakai tangata, kakai fefine, mo ha fānau, ʻo meimei ki he kakai ʻe toko 2,500 (vakai, 3 Nīfai 17:25).

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Pīsope Sēleti Kōsē ʻo e Kau Pīsopeliki Pulé ʻo kau ki he fakaafe mo e ngāue fakafaifekau fakataautaha ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Nīfaí:

(Gerald Causse, “Ko ha Fakamoʻoni Moʻui ʻo e Kalaisi Moʻuí,” Liahona, Mē 2020, 39–40)

Ko e fili ke haʻu kia Kalaisí ʻoku ʻikai makatuʻunga ia ʻi he feituʻu ʻokú ke nofo aí; ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi he tukupā fakafoʻituituí. ʻE lava ke maʻu ʻe he kau mēmipa kotoa pē ʻo e Siasí ʻa e tokāteline, ngaahi ouau, ngaahi kī ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí, neongo pe ko e fē feituʻu ʻoku nau ʻi aí.

ʻE tākiekina fēfē ʻe ha fakamoʻoni fakataautaha kia Sīsū Kalaisi ʻeku moʻuí?
