⁵ ʻI he foungá ni, naʻe kamata ke mate ʻa e ongo meʻa angahalaʻiá. ʻI hono ʻoatu ʻa e tautea maté, naʻe toe pehē ai ʻe he ʻOtuá kia ʻĀtama: “Kuo malaʻia ʻa e kelekele koeʻuhi ko koe; te ke kai mei ai ʻi he mamahi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pe ʻo hoʻo moʻui; pea ko e ʻakau talatala mo e talatalaʻamoa te ne fakatupu maʻau; pea te ke kai ʻa e mohuku ʻo e ngoue.” (Sēnesi 3:​17, 18) Ko ia naʻe mole ai meia ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ʻa e ʻamanaki ko hono ʻai ʻa e māmani teʻeki ngoueʻí ke hoko ko ha palataisi. ʻI hona tuli mei ʻĪtení, naʻe pau ke tuku taha hona iví ʻi he ngāue mālohi ki ha meʻakai mei he kelekele kuo ʻosi fakamalaʻiaʻí. Ko hona ngaahi hakó, ʻi heʻenau maʻu tukufakaholo ʻa e tuʻunga angahala, fakamate ko ʻení, ʻoku nau hoko ʻo fiemaʻu lahi ai ha fakafiemālie.​—Loma 5:​12.

⁸ Naʻe fakataumuʻa ʻe Sihova ke fakaʻauha ʻa e māmani fulikivanu ko iá fakafou ʻi ha lōmaki ʻi māmani lahi, ka ki muʻa aí naʻá ne ʻai ke langa ʻe Noa ha ʻaʻake ke maluʻi ai ʻa e moʻuí. Ko ia naʻe fakahaofi ai ʻa e matakali ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, mo e faʻahinga kehekehe ʻo e fanga manú. He nonga ē kuo pau naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Noa mo hono fāmilí hili ʻa e Lōmakí ʻi heʻenau hū ki tuʻa mei he ʻaʻaké ki ha māmani kuo maʻa! He fakafiemālie ē ke ʻilo kuo toʻo ʻa e fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻo e kelekelé, ʻo ne ʻai ʻo faingofua lahi ange ai ʻa e ngāue fakaengoué! Ko e moʻoni, naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e kikite ʻa Lēmekí, pea naʻe moʻui ʻa Noa ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻuhinga ʻo hono hingoá. (Sēnesi 8:​21) ʻI hono tuʻunga ko ha sevāniti anga-tonu ʻa e ʻOtuá, naʻe meʻangāueʻaki ʻa Noa ki hono ʻomai ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo e “fakafiemālie” ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. Kae kehe, naʻe ʻikai ke ngata ʻi he Lōmakí ʻa e tākiekina fulikivanu ʻa Sētane mo ʻene kau ʻāngelo tēmenioó, pea ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻa e fetoʻeaki ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi he mamafa ʻo e angahalá, mahamahakí, mo e maté.
