Ko e ngaahi foʻi lea totonú kuo pau ke fakamamafaʻi. Kapau ʻoku fakamamafaʻi ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea halá, ʻe ʻikai māʻalaʻala nai ai ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e meʻa ʻokú ke leaʻakí ki hoʻo kau fanongó, ʻa ia, ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ʻoku nau fakaʻatā nai ʻenau fakakaukaú ke hiki ki ha ngaahi meʻa kehe.

Ko e toe fakalahi ʻa e fakamamafá ʻe lava ke fakahaaʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi founga kehekehe, ʻo toutou ngāueʻaki ʻi he fakatahataha: ʻaki ʻa e leʻo-lahi ange, ʻaki ʻa e ongoʻi lahi ange, ʻaki ʻa e fakahaaʻi māmālie mo totoka, ʻaki ʻa e mālōlō ki muʻa pe ʻi he hili ha fakamatala (pe fakatouʻosi), pea ʻi he ngaue ke fakatātaaʻi mo e fakahaaʻi ʻe he matá. ʻI he ngaahi lea ʻe niʻihi, ʻe toe lava ke fakahaaʻi ʻa e fakamamafá ʻaki hono tuku hifo ʻa e anga ʻo e leʻó pe hiki hake ʻa e tō ʻo e leʻó. Fakakaukau ki he fakamatalá pea mo e ngaahi tuʻungá ke fakapapauʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻe mātuʻaki feʻungamālié.

ʻI he fakapapauʻi ʻa e meʻa ke fakamamafaʻí, fakakaukau ki heni.

Koeʻuhi ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e fakamamafaʻi ʻo e ʻuhingá ʻi he ngaahi founga ko ení, ko ha tokotaha malanga pe ko ha tokotaha lautohi fakahāhā kuo pau ke mahino lelei kiate ia ʻa ʻene fakamatalá peá ne loto fakamātoato ke maʻu ia ʻe heʻene kau fanongó. Fekauʻaki mo e fakahinohino naʻe fai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻĒselá, ʻoku pehē ʻi he Nehemaia 8:8: “Pea nau lau [“leʻo-lahi,” NW] mei he puka ʻo e Lao ʻo Elohimi ʻo tōtōlelei mai; ʻo nau fakaʻuhinga foki; ko ia naʻe matala ai ʻa e meʻa naʻe lau.” ʻOku hā mahino ko e faʻahinga naʻa nau lau mo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e Lao ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi ko iá naʻa nau ʻiloʻi ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo hono tokoniʻi ʻenau kau fanongó ke nau maʻu ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e meʻa naʻe laú, ke tauhi ia, pea ke ngāueʻaki ia.

Meʻa Te Ne Fakatupunga Nai ha Palopalema. Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kakaí ʻoku nau malava ke ʻai ʻenau ʻuhingá ke māʻalaʻala ʻi he fetalanoaʻaki maheni fakaʻahó. Kae kehe, ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau lau ai ha fakamatala naʻe tohi ʻe ha taha kehe, ko hono fakapapauʻi ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea pe kupuʻi lea ke fakamamafaʻí ʻe hoko nai ai ha faingataʻa.

Ko ia kapau ʻoku kole atu ke ke lau ha fakamatala ʻi ha fakataha ʻa e fakatahaʻangá, ʻoku totonu ke ke teuteu tōtōivi.

ʻOku ngāueʻaki nai ʻe he kakai ʻe niʻihi ʻa e meʻa ʻe lava ke ui ko e “fakamamafa fakavahaʻa taimi” ʻo ʻikai ko e fakamamafaʻi ʻo e ʻuhingá. ʻOku nau fakamamafaʻi ʻa e ngaahi foʻi leá ʻi he tuʻunga ʻo e ngaahi taimi mālōlō pau, tatau ai pē pe ʻoku mohu ʻuhinga ʻa e fakamamafa ko iá pe ʻikai. ʻOku fakamamafaʻi ʻe he niʻihi ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea ngāue, ʻo fai nai ʻa e fakamamafa tōtuʻa ʻi he ngaahi takinauná mo e ngaahi fehokotakingaleá. ʻI he taimi ʻoku ʻikai tokoni ai ʻa e fakamamafá ki he māʻalaʻala ʻa e fakakaukaú, ʻoku faingofua leva ai ʻene hoko ko ha tōʻonga fakatupu puputuʻu.

ʻI ha feinga ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e fakamamafaʻi ʻo e ʻuhingá, ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe he kau malanga ʻe niʻihi ʻa e leʻo-lahi ange ʻi ha founga ʻe ʻai nai ai ʻa e kau fanongó ke nau ongoʻi ʻoku tafuluʻi kinautolu.

Pe te ke lea fakatuʻupakē pe lautohi, ʻe toe fakalotolahiʻi koe ʻe hoʻo tokotaha faleʻí ke ke fakaʻatā ʻa e tuʻunga fakaʻuhingá ke ne tākiekina ʻa hono ngāueʻaki ʻo e fakamamafaʻi ʻa e ʻuhingá. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke ke lāuʻilo ki he ngaahi feituʻu ʻa ia ʻoku ngata ai ʻa e tuʻunga fakaʻuhingá, pe ko e feituʻu ʻoku hiki ai ʻa e fakamatalá mei he fakakaukau mahuʻinga ʻe taha ki he taha. ʻE houngaʻia ʻa e kau fanongó kapau ʻoku hanga ʻe hoʻo fakahokó ʻo fakaʻilo kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi feituʻu ko ení. ʻE fai nai eni ʻaki hono puʻaki ʻo fakamamafaʻi ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea hangē ko e ʻuluakí, hokó, fakaʻosí, ko ia ai, mo e ʻi he ʻuhinga ko iá.
