Kuo pau ke lue ʻa e niʻihi ʻi ha fononga lōloa ke kau ki ha fakataha-lahi, ka ʻe ʻikai te nau fakakaukau ke liʻaki ha taha. Ko ha tokoua taʻu 73 ʻi he Lepupilika Temokalati ʻo Kongó (ko Sāie ia ki muʻá) naʻá ne lue ʻi he kilomita nai ʻe 450 ke ne kau ki ha fakataha-lahi. Naʻá ne aʻu ʻi he ʻaho ʻe 16 hili ʻene kamata luelué, ne ake hono vaʻé, kae fiefia pē ke ne ʻi ai.

4 ʻI Mosemipīkí naʻe kaka ai ha ʻovasia fakavahe mo hono uaifí ʻi ha moʻunga māʻolunga peá na luelue ʻo kolosi ʻi ha feituʻu toafa lahi ke kau ki ha ʻasemipilī fakafeituʻu. Naʻá na fai ʻa e fononga kilomita ʻe 90 ko ʻení ʻi ha houa ʻe 45. Ko kinautolu kotoa naʻe kau ki aí naʻa nau loto-toʻa ʻaupito ʻi he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ʻa e ongo meʻa mali ko ʻení. Ko e ngaahi fāmili tokolahi naʻe ʻi aí naʻa nau fai ha ngaahi feinga tatau ke kau ki ai. Naʻe līpooti ʻe he ʻovasia fakavahé ʻo pehē ko e ngaahi tokoua ʻe niʻihi, kau ki ai ʻa e tokotaha ʻokú ne taʻu 60, naʻa nau fononga lalo ʻi he kilomita ʻe 200!

6 Ko ha Polokalama ʻAho ʻe Tolu: ʻI he taʻú ni ʻe fai ʻa e polokalamá ʻi he ngaahi fakataha-lahi ʻe 43 ʻi he Pasifiki Sauté. Ko e fakataha-lahi lea faka-Tongá ʻe fai ia ʻi Tonga. Ko e Taua Leʻo ʻo Fepueli 15, 1998, ʻoku lisi ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho mo e ngaahi feituʻu ʻo e ngaahi fakataha-lahi ko ʻení. ʻI he taimi ní, kuo tala atu kiate koe ʻa e fakataha-lahi ʻa ia ʻoku vaheʻi ki ai ʻa hoʻo fakatahaʻangá.
7 Fakatokanga Makehe: ʻOku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ke ke kau ki he fakataha-lahi ʻa ia kuo vaheʻi ki ai ʻa hoʻo fakatahaʻangá. Kātaki ʻo ʻoua ʻe palani ke kau ki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi fakataha-lahi fakavahaʻapuleʻangá tukukehe ka kuo vaheʻi ki ai ʻa hoʻo fakatahaʻangá. Ko e ngaahi fale fakataha-lahi ʻoku fai ai ʻa e ngaahi fakataha-lahi fakavahaʻapuleʻangá ʻe ʻikai ke hao ai naʻa mo ha konga ʻo e kotoa te nau saiʻia ke kau ki aí. Ko hoʻo tokaʻi fakatāutaha ki aí mo e fengāueʻaki fakataha mo e ngaahi fokotuʻutuʻu ko ʻení ʻe fakapapauʻi ai ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku faí ke taau pea fai ki he fokotuʻutuʻú.—1 Kol. 14:33, 40.

Ko kinautolu pē ʻoku vaheʻi ke ngāué ʻe fakaʻatā ke hū ki ai ki muʻa ʻi he taimi ko iá. Kae kehe, ʻe ʻikai ke fakangofua ha taha ke ne taʻofi ha ngaahi nofoʻanga kae ʻoua kuo ʻosi ʻa e 8:00 pongipongí.
9 ʻI heʻetau ʻalu mo foki mei he fakataha-lahí, ʻoku totonu ke tau sio ki ha ngaahi faingamālie ke fai ai ha fakamoʻoni ʻi he founga ʻikai anga-mahení. Ko e kau ngāue ʻi he pausá, kau kalake ʻi he falekoloá, ko e kau tānaki tukuhaú, kau ngāue hōtelé, pea mo e kau tali-tēpilé te nau mahuʻingaʻia nai ʻi he pōpoaki ʻo e Puleʻangá. Mateuteu ki he meʻá ni ʻaki hono toʻotoʻo ha ngaahi tuleki, ngaahi makasini lolotongá, ngaahi polosiua, pe ngaahi tohi kehe koeʻuhí ke ke lava ʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi faingamālié ke faifakamoʻoni ki he kakai ʻa ia ʻe ʻikai nai ke ke aʻu kiate kinautolu mo e ongoongo leleí.—2 Tim. 3:17.
10 “Mou Tokanga ki he Anga ʻo Hoʻomou Fanongo”: ʻOku fakapotopoto ki he kau fakafofonga ʻo e fakataha-lahí ke nau tokanga ki he akonaki ʻoku ʻomai ʻi he Luke 8:18. ʻOku fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ke ʻomai ha Tohitapu pea pehē foki ki ha tohi hiva pea mo ha pepa hiki nouti. Fanongo tokanga ki he ngaahi poini tefitó mei he malanga taki taha, pea hiki ha ngaahi nouti nounou. ʻEke hifo kiate koe pe ʻe lava fēfē ke ke ngāueʻaki fakafoʻituitui ʻa e fakamatalá. ʻI he pō taki taha ʻo e fakataha-lahí, ki muʻa ke ke mohé, fēfē ke ke fakamanatu hoʻo ngaahi noutí pea sivisiviʻi ʻa e founga ʻokú ke pipiki ofi ai ki he founga ʻa Sihova ki he moʻuí.—Pal. 4:10-13.
11 Kuo fakatokangaʻi he lolotonga ʻo e ngaahi kongá, ʻoku mavahe ʻa e niʻihi mei he fale faiʻanga fakataha-lahí ʻo nofo ʻi heʻenau ngaahi meʻalelé, ʻo ʻikai ke maʻu ai ʻa e malanga he polokalamá. Kuo fakatokangaʻi ha niʻihi ʻoku nau lue holo taʻeʻuhinga ʻi he ngaahi hala vahaʻa lokí ʻi he taimi ʻoku totonu ai ke nau tangutu ʻi he fale faiʻanga fakataha-lahí ʻo fanongó. Kuo fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi kulupu ʻo e toʻutupu ʻoku nau mavahe mei he feituʻu faiʻanga fakataha-lahí ʻi he hoʻatā efiafí. Ko e kau sevāniti ʻa Sihova ʻe niʻihi ʻi he ngaahi taimi he kuohilí naʻa nau fai ha ngaahi hala mamafa ʻi heʻenau moʻuí koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai te nau fanongo tokanga ki he ngaahi fakamanatu ʻa Sihová. Ko hono moʻoní, te tau loto ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei hano fai ha fehālaaki tatau. (2 Tuʻi 17:13-15) Kuo teuteu ʻe he “tamaioeiki agatonu mo boto” ʻa e fakahinohino ʻa ia ʻoku fiemaʻu kiate kitautolu hono kotoa. ʻOku tautautefito ʻene mahuʻingá “ke ʻasili ai ʻetau fakatokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa kuo ongo mai” he lolotonga ʻo e konga taki taha ʻo e polokalama ʻo e fakataha-lahi ʻaho ʻe tolú. ʻE fakaeʻa ʻi he ʻaho taki taha ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga makehe kiate kitautolu, kau ai ʻa e fakamatala ʻa ia ʻe fakapapauʻi ʻa e ʻi ai ʻo e ola fakatupu-moʻuilelei ki heʻetau founga ʻo e moʻuí ʻi he kahaʻú. ʻI heʻetau faʻa tokanga pea ngāueʻaki kakato ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tokonaki fakalaumālie ʻe Sihova ʻi he ngaahi konga hokohoko ʻi he fakataha-lahi ka hokó, ʻe hoko ʻo tuʻu fefeka ʻetau ʻamanakí koeʻuhi ke ʻoua “te tau ʻauhia atu” mei he founga ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he moʻuí.—Mt. 24:45; Hep. 2:1.
12 Vala ʻOkú Ne Fakalāngilangiʻi ʻa Sihová: ʻI he ngaahi taimi faingataʻa ko ʻení, ʻoku fiemaʻu kiate kitautolu ke tau tokanga lahi ange koeʻuhí ke ʻoua ʻe hoko ʻo maʻunimā kitautolu ʻe he laumālie ʻo e māmani ko ʻení. (1 Kol. 2:12) Ko hotau valá mo e teuteú ʻoku totonu ke fakanānā pea ʻoku totonu ke tapua mei ai ʻa e ngeia ʻo e ʻOtua ʻoku tau lotu ki aí. (1 Tim. 2:9, 10) ʻOku ʻikai ke fiemaʻu ʻa e ngaahi vala ʻoku totongi mamafá ka te toki ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau “teungaʻia ʻa e tokateline ʻa hotau ʻOtua Fakamoʻui.” (Tai. 2:10) Fakatokangaʻi ʻa e akonaki ʻaonga ʻaupito mo Fakatohitapu ʻi he peesi 11 mo e 12 ʻo e tatau ʻo e Taua Leʻo ʻo Siulai 1, 1997, palakalafi 14-18. ʻOua ʻaupito ʻe fakasiʻisiʻia ʻa e faifakamoʻoni mālohi ʻoku lava ke tau ʻoatu ʻaki ʻa e teuteu ʻi ha founga ʻoku fakalāngilangiʻi ai ʻa Sihová.
13 Naʻe fakamatala ha Fakamoʻoni taʻu 16 ki he taimi naʻá ne ʻalu ai ki ha falekai mo hono tuongaʻané ʻi ha efiafi ʻe taha hili ʻa e ngaahi kongá, naʻá na fakatokangaʻi ai ko e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi tokoua mo e tuofāfine naʻa nau ʻi aí naʻa nau fetongi ki ha ngaahi vala taʻefeʻunga. Kae kehe, tokolahi ʻa e kau kai he falekaí naʻa nau tali lelei ange ʻi heʻenau sio ki he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻoku nau teunga maau mo taau pea tui honau ngaahi kaati fakaʻilongá. ʻOku fakaava ai heni ʻa e hala ke ʻoatu ai ha fakamoʻoni ki he niʻihi ʻo e kau kai he falekaí.
14 ʻUlungaanga ʻOku Fakahīkihikiʻi Ai ʻa Sihová: ʻOku tau ʻilo ko hotau ʻulungaanga faka-Kalisitiané ʻe lava ke ne uesia ʻa e founga ʻoku vakai mai ai ʻa e niʻihi kehé ki he lotu moʻoní. Ko ia ai, ʻoku tau fiemaʻu ke ʻai hotau ʻulungāngá ʻi he taimi kotoa pē ʻi ha founga ʻa ia ʻoku taau mo e ongoongo leleí pea ʻe ʻomai ai ʻa e fakahīkihikí kia Sihova.—Fili. 1:27.
15 ʻI he taʻu kuo ʻosí, naʻe fai ai ʻi he fuofua taimí ha fakataha-lahi fakavahe ʻi he tokelau ʻo ʻEngikolá. ʻI he ʻaho hono ua ʻo e fakataha-lahí, ko ha ongo ʻōfisa polisi fakalotofonua naʻe ʻomai ki he feituʻu faiʻanga fakataha-lahí ke fakapapauʻi ʻoku tauhi ʻa e melino mo e maau ʻa e kakaí. Naʻá na nofo ai ʻi he ʻahó kakato. ʻI he ngataʻanga ʻo e ʻahó, naʻá na fakahā ai ʻena mālieʻia ʻi he meʻa kuó na fanongo ki aí pea ki he ʻulungaanga lelei naʻá na vakai ki aí. Naʻe pehē ʻe ha tokotaha ʻiate kinaua: “Ko e hā naʻe ʻomai ai kitaua ki hení? ʻOkú ta ʻilo ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻoku nau hanganaki tauhi ʻa e maau ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakatahatahá.”
16 Ko ha mēmipa ʻo ha tafaʻaki fakapolitikale ʻi ha fonua ʻi ʻAfilika naʻá ne hola ki ʻIulope ʻi he taimi naʻe tāmateʻi ai ʻa e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi mēmipa kehe ʻi heʻene tafaʻakí. Naʻá ne hokosia ha ngaahi palopalema fakaeia lahi peá ne hoko ai ʻo loto-siʻi ʻaupito. Faifai atu pē naʻá ne tali ha ako Tohitapu. ʻI he lolotonga ʻene kau ki heʻene fuofua fakataha-lahi fakavahé, naʻe maongo kiate ia ʻa e kakai mei ha ʻātakai kehekehe naʻa nau fakataha fakatahataha ʻi he melino mo e feongoongoi.
