Ko e Hā ʻa e Faʻahinga Hingoa ʻOkú Ke Maʻú?
ʻI HE Tohitapú, ko e foʻi lea “hingoá” ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku lave ia ki he ongoongo ʻo ha taha. Ko e fakatātaá, naʻe tohi ʻe he Tuʻi poto ko Solomoné: “ʻOku ngangatu ange ʻa e hingoa lelei ʻi he lolo takai, mo e ʻaho ʻo e pekia ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hoto fanauʻi.” (Koheleti 7:1; fakafehoanaki mo Palovepi 22:1.) Fakatatau ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Solomoné, ʻoku ʻikai ke fanauʻi mai ha taha mo ha hingoa lelei. Ka, ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e ʻalunga ʻo ʻene moʻuí ʻokú ne maʻu ai ha ongoongo ʻoku ʻuhinga lelei. Ko hono hingoá ʻokú ne fakaʻilongaʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki hono ngaahi ʻulungaanga fakafoʻituituí, pe ʻokú ne nima-homo pe siokita, loto-ʻofa pe loto-momoko, anga-fakatōkilalo pe anga-hiki, naʻa mo e anga-tonu pe anga-fulikivanu.
Fakakaukau atu kia Tēvita. ʻI he lolotonga ʻo ʻene tuʻí, naʻá ne fakamoʻoniʻi ko e tokotaha mālohi ia mo tuʻumaʻu. ʻI he taimi tatau pē, naʻe ʻiloʻi anga-fakatōkilalo ʻe Tēvita ʻene ngaahi fehālaakí peá ne fakatomalaʻi ʻene ngaahi angahala mamafá. ʻI he ʻuhinga lelei, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he palōfita ʻa Sihová ʻo pehē ko Tēvitá naʻe ‘tatau mo e finangalo [ʻo e ʻOtuá].’ (1 Samiuela 13:14) Naʻe maʻu ʻe kiʻi Tēvita ha hingoa lelei ki he ʻOtuá.
ʻI hono faikehekehé, ko e Tuʻi Siuta ko Siholamé naʻá ne ʻai ha hingoa kovi kiate ia tonu. Naʻá ne fakatafokiʻi mamaʻo hono kakaí mei he lotu kia Sihová pea naʻa mo hono tāmateʻi ʻa hono ngaahi tokoua ʻe toko ono mo e niʻihi ʻo e kau pilinisi ʻo Siutá. Faifai atu pē, naʻe tautea ʻe Sihova ʻa Siholame ʻaki ha mahaki langa ʻa ia naʻe iku atu ai ki heʻene maté. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohitapú ko Siholamé naʻá “ne ʻalu taʻe fakaʻanaua,” pe hangē ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe he Today’s English Version, “naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻofaʻia ha taha ʻi heʻene maté.”—2 Kalonikali 21:20.
Ko e ʻalunga ʻo e moʻui ʻa Tēvita mo Siholamé ʻokú na fakahāhaaʻi ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e palōveape faka-Tohitapu: “ʻOku langa fakamālō ʻa e manatu ki ha taha faitotonu: Ka ko e hingoa ʻo e angahala ʻe ʻeho.” (Palovepi 10:7) Ko ia ai, ʻoku totonu kiate kitautolu taki taha ke fakakaukau fakamātoato ki he fehuʻi, ‘Ko e hā ʻa e faʻahinga hingoa ʻoku ou ʻai ki he ʻOtuá pea ki hoku kaungā faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá?’
