Naʻe fakanofo ʻa Nehemaia ko e kōvana ʻo Selusalema, ka ki muʻa aí, ko ha ʻōfisa māʻolunga ia ʻi he fakamaauʻanga Pēsiá ʻi he kolo ko Sūsani. Neongo ia, ko ʻene moʻui fiemālié naʻe ʻikai hōloa ai ʻene tokanga ki he lelei ʻa hono fanga tokoua Siu ʻi Selusalema mamaʻó. Ko hono moʻoní, ko e ʻuluaki meʻa naʻá ne fai ʻi he ʻaʻahi atu ʻa ha kau fakafofonga Siu mei Selusalema ki Sūsaní ko ʻene “huhū kiate kinautolu pe kuo fefe ʻa e kau Siu naʻe hao atu, ʻa ia ko e toe ʻo e fakapopula, pea fefe mo Selusalema.” (Nehemaia 1:2) ʻI he tali ange ʻa e kau ʻaʻahí naʻe ʻi he “tuʻutamaki lahi” ʻa e kakai ʻo Selusalemá pea ko e ʻā ʻo e koló naʻe “maumau,” naʻe ‘nofo hifo, [ai ʻa Nehemaia] ʻo tangi, pea naʻe ʻaho lahi ʻene fakamamahí.’ Hili iá naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ʻene ongoʻi mamahí ʻi ha lotu fakamātoato kia Sihova. (Nehemaia 1:​3-11) Ko e hā ne loto-mamahi lahi ai ʻa Nehemaiá? Koeʻuhi ko Selusalemá ko e senitā ia ʻo e lotu ʻa Sihová ʻi he māmaní, pea kuo liʻaki ia. (1 Tuʻi 11:36) ʻIkai ngata aí, ko e tuʻunga maumau ʻo e koló ko ha tapua mai ia ʻo e tuʻunga kovi fakalaumālie ʻo e faʻahinga naʻe nofo aí.​—Nehemaia 1:​6, 7.

Ko e hohaʻa ʻa Nehemaia ki Selusalemá pea mo ʻene manavaʻofa ki he kau Siu naʻe nofo aí naʻe ueʻi ai ia ke ne foaki atu ia. ʻI hono fakaʻatā pē ia ʻe he tuʻi Pēsiá ke ne kiʻi mālōlō mei hono ngaahi fatongiá, naʻe kamata leva ke palani ʻe Nehemaia ʻa e fononga lōloa ki Selusalemá. (Nehemaia 2:​5, 6) Naʻá ne loto ke tuku hono mālohí, taimí mo e pōtoʻí ki hono poupouʻi ʻa e ngāue monomono naʻe fiemaʻú. ʻI ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi ʻi heʻene aʻu ki aí, ne ʻosi ʻi ai ʻene palani ke ngāueʻaki ki hono monomono ʻo e ʻā kotoa ʻo Selusalemá.​—Nehemaia 2:​11-​18.

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe Nehemaia ʻa e fuʻu ngāue kāfakafa ʻo hono monomono ʻa e ʻaá ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e ngaahi fāmili lahi, ʻa ia ko kinautolu kotoa naʻa nau ngāue fakataha.a Naʻe laka hake he ngaahi kulupu kehekehe ʻe 40 naʻe vaheʻi ke nau taki taha monomono ʻa e “botu e taha.” Ko e hā ʻa e olá? ʻI he fuʻu tokolahi ʻa e kau ngāué—ʻo kau ai ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻá fakataha mo ʻenau fānaú—ʻi hono foaki honau taimí mo e iví, ne hoko ai ʻo malava ʻa e ngāue ne hā ngali lahi fakaʻuliá. (Nehemaia 3:​11, 12, 19, 20, PM) ʻI ha ongo māhina ngāue lahi ʻe ua, naʻe monomono kotoa ai ʻa e ʻaá! Naʻe tohi ʻa Nehemaia ʻo pehē naʻa mo e faʻahinga naʻa nau fakafepaki ki he ngāue monomonó naʻe fakamālohiʻi ke nau fakahaaʻi “ʻoku mei homau ʻOtua ʻa e lava ʻo e ngaue.”—Nehemaia 6:​15, 16.
