Lotu ʻa Nehemaiá: “ʻE hoku ʻOtua, manatuʻi au ʻo ke ʻofa mai.” Naʻe manavasiʻi ʻa Nehemaia ʻo pehē kuo ʻikai fakatokangaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻene ngaahi ngāue leleí pe kuo fakangaloʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá? ʻIkai. Naʻe ʻikai veiveiua ʻa Nehemaia ʻi he meʻa naʻe leaʻaki ʻe he kau hiki Tohi Tapú ʻo fekauʻaki mo e mahuʻingaʻia moʻoni ʻa Sihova ʻi heʻene kau lotu mateakí mo ʻenau ngaahi ngāue leleí.

ʻE tali ʻe Sihova ʻa e lotu ʻa Nehemaia ke manatua iá? ʻI ha tuʻunga ʻe taha, kuó ne ʻosi fai pehē. Ko e meʻa meʻa mahuʻingá ko e vakai ʻa Sihova ʻoku taau ke lēkooti ʻa e lotu ʻa Nehemaiá, ʻo fakakau ia ʻi he konga fakamānavaʻi ʻo e Folofolá, ʻoku fakapapauʻi mai ai ʻokú ne ʻofaʻi mo manatuʻi ʻa Nehemaia. Ka ko e “Tali lotu ʻa e ʻAfiona” te ne fai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange ke tali ʻa e kole fakamātoato ʻa Nehemaiá.—Saame 65:2.
ʻE vavé ni ke fakapaleʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Nehemaia ki he kotoa ʻene ngaahi ngāue lelei naʻe fai ki he lotu moʻoní. (Hepelū 11:6) ʻI he hoko mai ʻa e māmani foʻou māʻoniʻoni naʻe talaʻofa mai ʻe Sihová, te ne tāpuakiʻi ʻa Nehemaia ʻaki ʻene toe fokotuʻu hake ia mei he maté. (2 Pita 3:13; Fakahā 21:3, 4) ʻI aí, fakataha mo e ʻamanaki ʻo e moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmani palataisí, ʻe sio ai ʻa Nehemaia ko Sihová, kuó ne manatuʻi maʻu ai pē ia.
