Fakatupú

Taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hono fakatupu ʻo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa maʻa ʻEne fānaú

Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá kia Mōsese naʻá Ne faʻu ʻa e māmaní ke “fakahoko ʻa e moʻui taʻe-faʻa-mate mo e moʻui taʻengata ʻa e tangatá” (Mōsese 1:39).

Ko e Māmaní ko ha Meʻaʻofa, pea Ko e Kau Tauhi Kitautolu ʻo Ia

Naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻOtuá kia ʻĀtama ʻa e “pule” ki he meʻa moʻui ʻo e māmaní (Mōsese 2:28; 5:1). Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he fakahā ʻo onopōní, ko e “ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tupu mei he kelekelé” ʻoku “ʻaonga [mo] fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 59:18). Ka naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí kuo pau ke fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi maʻuʻangatokoni ʻo e māmaní “ʻi he fakapotopoto, kae ʻikai ke fuʻu hulu” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 59:20).

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Pīsope Seloti Kōsei: “ʻOku ʻikai maʻu ʻa e meʻaʻofa fakalangi ʻo e Fakatupú taʻe-ʻi ai ha ngaahi fatongia mo e ngafa. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi lelei taha ʻa e ngaahi fatongia ko ʻení ʻaki ʻa e foʻi fakakaukau ʻo e fatongia tauhí.
