“Neʼe kamata te agahala mai te fafine, pea ʼaki ia ia ʼe tou mamate fuli.”—LʼECCLÉSIASTIQUE, ʼI TE TEITEI TAʼU 200 I.M.T.S.a

“Ko koutou ʼaē neʼe kotou ʼavahi te matapā ki te tēvolo he neʼe kotou kai te fua ʼo te fuʼu ʼakau ʼaē neʼe tapuʼi, mo kotou ʼuluaki talagataʼa ki te lao fakaʼatua . . . Neʼe kotou maumauʼi gafua ai ia te pāki ʼo te ʼAtua, te tagata.”—TERTULLIEN, ON THE APPAREL OF WOMEN, ʼI TE TEITEI TAʼU 200 H.T.S.b

KO TE ʼu palalau ʼaia ʼe mole haʼu ia mai te Tohi-Tapu. Lolotoga ni taʼu e lauʼi teau, neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi te ʼu palalau ʼaia moʼo fakatonuhia te fehiʼaʼinaʼi ʼo te hahaʼi fafine. Māʼia iā ʼaho nei, ʼe kei fakaʼaogaʼi pē e ʼihi kau tauhi lotu fakavale ia he ʼu tohi fakalotu moʼo fakalakatonuʼi te gaohi koviʼi ʼo te hahaʼi fafine, ʼo natou ʼui ko tanatou hala mo kapau ʼe hoko te ʼu fihifihia ʼi te mālamanei. Neʼe loto moʼoni koa e te ʼAtua ke fakalainoaʼi pea mo gaohi koviʼi te hahaʼi fafine e te hahaʼi tagata? Koteā ʼaē ʼe ʼui ʼi te Tohi-Tapu? Tou vakaʼi te faʼahi ʼaia.

◼ Neʼe fakamalaʼia koa e te ʼAtua te hahaʼi fafine?

Kailoa ia. Kae ʼe ko “te gata afea, ae nee higoa ko te tiapolo,” ʼaē neʼe fakamalaʼia e te ʼAtua. (Apokalipisi 12:9; Senesi 3:14) ʼI te temi ʼaē neʼe ʼui ai e te ʼAtua ʼe “pule” anai ia Atama ki tona ʼohoana, neʼe mole ina fakahā ai tana tali ʼaē ke pōpula te fafine ki te tagata. (Senesi 3:16) Kae neʼe ina fakahā fakatomuʼa pē ia te ʼu fua kovi ʼo te agahala ʼo te ʼuluaki taumātuʼa.

Koia, ko te gaohi koviʼi ʼo te hahaʼi fafine ʼe mole ko te finegalo ia ʼo te ʼAtua, kae ʼe hoko ia ʼuhi ko te ʼuhiga agahala ʼo te tagata. ʼE mole lagolago te Tohi-Tapu ki te manatu ʼaē ʼe tonu ke pōpula te fafine ki te tagata ke feala ai he fakamolemole ʼo te agahala olisinale.—Loma 5:12.

◼ Neʼe fakatupu koa e te ʼAtua te fafine ʼo mālalo age ʼi te tagata?

Kailoa ia. ʼE ʼui fēnei iā Senesi 1:27: “Nee fakatupu leva e te Atua te tagata o fakatatau kia ia; nee ina fakatupu te tagata o fakatatau ki te paaki o te Atua, nee ina fakatupu te tagata mo te fafine.” Koia ʼi te kamata, neʼe fakatupu te hahaʼi fuli, tagata mo fafine, ʼaki te fealagia ʼaē ke natou fakahā te ʼofa, te faitotonu, te fiafia pea mo ʼihi atu agaaga ʼe maʼu e te ʼAtua. Logolā neʼe mole tatau te ʼu meʼa neʼe logoʼi e Atama mo Eva ʼi tonā loto pea mo tonā ʼuhiga, kae neʼe mole fakakehekeheʼi nāua e tonā Tupuʼaga pea mo te ʼu fakatotonu ʼaē neʼe ina foaki age kiā nāua.—Senesi 1:28-31.

ʼI muʼa ʼo te fakatupu ʼo Eva, neʼe ʼui fēnei e te ʼAtua: “E au fai anai he tokoni [kiā Atama] ke tatau mo ia.” (Ko mātou ʼaē neʼe matou fetogi tona faʼahiga tohi; Senesi 2:18) Ko tona fakaʼuhiga koa ʼo te kupu “tatau” ʼe mālalo age te fafine
