Fakakaukau ki ha meʻa mei he hisitōlia ʻo e Siasí ʻokú ne ueʻi fakalaumālie koe. Naʻá ke ʻilo fēfē ki he meʻa ko ia ne hokó?
ʻOku tau ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa ne hoko ʻi he hisitōlia ʻo e Siasí koeʻuhí ne faʻu mo tauhi ʻe ha taha ʻa e ngaahi lekooti ʻo kinautolú ke fakatolonga ia maʻa hotau kuongá mo e toʻu tangata ʻo e kahaʻú. Manatuʻi ʻi ha fakahā ki muʻa naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, “ʻE tauhi ha lekooti ʻiate kimoutolu” (T&F 21:1). ʻOku ʻi ai ha fai-hisitōlia mo ha tauhi lekooti he ʻahó ni ʻi he Siasí ʻa ia ʻoku fili ʻe he kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí.
