Kuo fakamoʻulaloa taʻeʻilo ʻa e faʻahinga ia ʻo e tangatá ki he Fili ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa Sētane, he “ko hono kotoa ʻo mamani ʻoku ʻi he nima ʻo e Fili.” (1 Sione 5:19) ʻOku hanga ʻe he ʻiloʻi ʻo e moʻoniʻi meʻa ko ʻení ʻo ʻai ke faingofua ange hono mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga koví.

12-14. Ko e hā ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻo fekauʻaki mo e taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he foʻi māmaní mo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá?
12 ʻOku ʻi ai ha taumuʻa fakaofo ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he foʻi māmaní mo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. Naʻe “ʻikai te ne fakatupu [ʻa e māmaní] ke maomaonganoa” ka naʻe “faʻu ia ke nofoʻanga.” (Aisea 45:18) ʻIkai ngata aí, naʻe hanga ʻe Sihova ʻo “fakamaʻu ʻa e fonua ki hono ngaahi tuʻunga, ke ʻoua naʻa ueʻi ia ʻo lauikuonga pea taʻengata.” (Sāme 104:5) Ko e ako ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ʻeni fekauʻaki mo e taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he foʻi māmaní pea mo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke tau mahinoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku tau ʻi heni aí.
13 ʻOku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he Senesi vahe 1 mo e 2 naʻe tokanga lahi ʻa Sihova ke teuteu ʻa e foʻi māmaní ke nofo ai ʻa e tangatá. ʻI he ngataʻanga ʻo e vahaʻa taimi fakatupu ʻo hotau kolopé, naʻe “lelei ʻaupito” ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē. (Senesi 1:31) Naʻe tuku ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ʻuluaki tangatá mo e fefiné, ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi, ki he ngoue fakaʻofoʻofa ko ʻĪtení pea tokonaki kiate kinaua ha meʻakai lelei lahi ʻaupito. Naʻe tala ki he ʻuluaki ongo meʻa fakaetangatá: “Mo fakatupu, mo fakatokolahi, mo fakafonu ʻa mamani, pea ikuna ia.” Naʻe ʻuhingá te na maʻu ʻa e fānau haohaoa, ke fakalahi atu ʻa e ngaahi ngatangataʻanga ʻo hona ʻapi ngoueʻangá ki he māmaní kotoa, pea ke na pule anga-ʻofa ki he fanga manú.—Senesi 1:26-28.
14 Ko e taumuʻa ia ʻa Sihová ke ʻi ai ha fāmili fakaetangata haohaoa ke nau nofoʻi ʻa e māmaní ʻo taʻengata. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá: “Ko haʻa fai totonu te nau maʻu ʻa e fonua, pea te nau nofo ai ʻo tuputupuʻa.” (Sāme 37:29) ʻIo, naʻe fakataumuʻá ke fiefia ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻi he moʻui taʻengata ʻi he Palataisi he māmaní.
