ʻOku Tohi ʻe ʻĪsaia ʻo Kau ki he ʻAloʻi ʻo Kalaisí

Naʻe kikite ‘a ‘Īsaia, ‘e teʻeki tupu hake ‘a e tamá, kuo ‘osi ikunaʻi ‘e ‘Asilia ia ‘a ‘Isileli (ʻIfalemi) mo Sīlia fakatouʻosi (vakai, 2 Nīfai 17:15–25).

Lau ‘a e 2 Nīfai 18:6–8, pea laineʻi ‘a e kupuʻi lea “ngaahi vai ‘o Sailoá.” ‘Oku fakataipe ‘e he ngaahi vai ‘o Sailoá kia ‘Īsaia ‘a e ivi mo e mālohi fakafiemālie, tuʻu maʻu mo tokoni ‘o e ‘Otuá ‘a ia ʻoku fie maʻu ke hoko ko ha konga ‘o e moʻui fakapolitikale ‘o e puleʻangá (vakai, 2 Nīfai 18:6).
