Ngaahi Meʻa Naʻe Hokosia mo e Ngaahi Fakaʻekeʻeke ki he Founga ʻo Hono Fai Iá

Ko Mark Noumair, ko ha toe faiako ia ʻe taha ʻi Kiliati, naʻá ne fai ʻa e konga hono hoko ʻo e polokalamá. Naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻa e kalasí naʻe hokosia ʻi he malaʻe malangá lolotonga honau vahaʻa taimi akó.

Hoko atu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻa e kau akó naʻe hokosiá, naʻe fakaʻekeʻeke ai ʻe Charles Molohan mo William Samuelson ha kau mēmipa ʻe niʻihi ʻo e fāmili Pētelí mo e kau ʻovasia fefonongaʻaki ʻa ia naʻa nau kau ki Kiliatí. Ko e taha ʻo e fanga tokoua naʻe fakaʻekeʻeké, ko Robert Pevy, naʻe ngāue ʻi he ʻOtu Filipainé hili ʻene maʻu tohi fakamoʻoni ako mei he kalasi hono 51 ʻo Kiliatí. Naʻá ne fakamanatu ki he kalasí: “ʻI he taimi pē ʻoku ʻi ai ai ha palopalema, ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he tokotaha kotoa ʻa ʻene ngaahi fokotuʻu ki he founga ke fakaleleiʻiʻaki ʻa e palopalemá. ʻOku ʻi ai maʻu pē ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku poto ange ia ʻiate koe, ko ha tokotaha ʻa ia te ne fokotuʻu mai ha fakakaukau ʻoku lelei ange.

Ke fakaʻosi ʻa e polokalama lelei fakalaumālié, ko John Barr, ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kulupu Pulé, naʻá ne malanga ʻi he kaveinga “Fai ʻa e Ngāue Toputapu Fakahōifua kia Sihova.” Naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ʻa e founga ʻe lava ke tapua atu ai ʻa e ngāue toputapú ʻi he malaʻe malangá ke tokoniʻi ʻa e faʻahinga tāutaha loto-totonú ke nau lotu ki he ʻOtuá ʻi ha founga fakahōifua. Hili ʻa e huke ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū ʻi he Mātiu 4:​10, naʻe pehē ʻe Tokoua Barr, “Kapau ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau lotu kia Sihova pē tokotaha, kuo pau ke tau liʻaki ʻa e ngaahi founga olopoto kotoa pē ʻo e tauhi ʻaitolí, hangē ko e mānumanú, ko ha holi ki he koloá, mo e fakahīkihikiʻi-kitá.

Naʻe hoko leva ai ʻa e taimi ke fanongo ai ki he ngaahi talamonū mei he kau pōpoaki talamonū takatakai ʻi he māmaní, ki hono foaki ʻo e tipilomá, pea ki hono lau ʻa e tohi mei he kalasí, ʻo fakahāhā ʻenau houngaʻia ʻi he ako kuo nau maʻú.
