ʻOku malava fēfē ke tau maluʻi kitautolu mei he ngaahi tākiekina fakameleʻi ʻoku takatakai kiate kitautolú? ʻI he vahe hono 5 ʻo e tohi Tohitapu ʻa Palovepí, ʻoku tokonaki mai ai ʻe Tuʻi Solomone ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá ʻa e ngaahi talí. Tau sivisiviʻi ange ʻa e meʻa kuó ne leaʻakí.

Ka oku tatau moe kona ii a hono ikuaga, o majila o hage ha heleta fakatoumata.”—Palovepi 5:3, 4, PM.
ʻI he palōveepi ko ʻení, ʻoku fakatātaaʻi ai ʻa e tokotaha anga-taʻefakamaʻumaʻú ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha “fefine muli”—ko ha paʻumutu.a Ko e ngaahi lea ko ia ʻokú ne fakataueleʻi ʻaki ʻa e tokotaha ʻoku tō ʻiate iá ʻoku melie tatau mo e taunga hone pea molemole ange ia ʻi he lolo ʻōlive. ʻIkai ʻoku kamata ʻi he founga ko ʻení ʻa e lahi taha ʻo e ʻuluaki ngaahi sitepu ki he fakaefehokotaki fakasino taʻetāú? Ko e fakatātaá, fakakaukau ange ki he meʻa naʻe hokosia ʻe ha sekelitali hoihoifua taʻu 27 ko Amy. ʻOkú ne pehē: ” ʻOku fai mai maʻu pē ʻe he tangata ko ʻeni ʻi he ngāué ha tokanga lahi kiate au mo fakahīkihikiʻi au ʻi he faingamālie kotoa pē. ʻOku ongo lelei ke hoko ʻo fakatokangaʻi.

Pea fakakaukau atu ki he mamahi fakaeongo lahi fakaʻulia ʻoku hokosia ʻe he hoa mali ʻo ha tokotaha taʻeangatonu. Ko e foʻi tōʻonga ʻe taha ʻo e taʻeangatonú ʻoku malava ke ne fakatupunga ha lavea loloto feʻunga ke tolonga ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ha moʻui. ʻIo, ʻoku fakatupu loto-lavea ʻa e ʻulungaanga taʻetāú.
ʻI he fakamatala ki he founga-moʻui ʻa ha fefine anga-taʻefakamaʻumaʻu, ʻoku hoko atu ʻa e tuʻi potó: “Ko e vaʻe ʻo e fefine ko ia ʻoku hifo ai pe kia Mate; ko ʻene taulaka ʻoku fakahangatonu ki Lolofonua. Ko e fefine ko ia—ko loto ke ne hae atu ke maʻu ʻa e hala ʻo e moʻui: ʻoku fepikopikoaki ʻene ʻalu ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ki ai.” (Palovepi 5:5, 6) Ko e ngaahi founga ʻa e fefine ʻulungaanga taʻetāú ʻokú ne taki atu ia ki he maté—ko ʻene ngaahi laká ki Seoli, ko e faʻitoka anga-maheni ia ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. ʻI he ngaahi mahaki fetuku ʻe he fehokotaki fakasinó, tautefito ki he ʻEitisí, ʻoku tupu mo mafola noa peé, he toki moʻoni ē ko e ngaahi leá ni! Ko e ikuʻanga ʻo e fefiné ʻoku tatau pē mo ia ʻoku hoko ki he faʻahinga ʻoku nau ʻalu fakataha mo ia ʻi hono ngaahi hala fepikopikoakí.
ʻI he tokanga loto-moʻoni, ʻoku naʻinaʻi mai ʻa e tuʻí: “Pea ko eni, kau tama, fanongo mai; pea ʻoua ʻe afe mei he lea ʻoku ou puʻaki. Leʻei ho hala ke mamaʻo mei he fefine ko ia, pea ʻoua te ke ofi ki hono matafale.”—Palovepi 5:7, 8.
ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau nofo ʻi he mamaʻo taha ʻe ala lavá mei he tākiekina ʻa e kakai ʻulungaanga taʻetāú. Ko e hā ka tau fakaʻatā atu ai kitautolu ki heʻenau ngaahi foungá ʻaki ʻa e fanongo ki he fasi māʻulaló, mamata ʻi he fakafiefia fakatupu fakameleʻí, pe ko hono fakaeʻa atu kitautolu ki he ngaahi tohi fakalieliá? (Palovepi 6:27; 1 Kolinito 15:33; Efeso 5:3-5) Pea he ngali vale ē ke fakahanga mai ʻenau tokangá ʻaki ʻa e fakamalinga kākaá pe ʻaki ʻa e taʻefakanānā ʻi he valá mo e teuteú!—1 Timote 4:8; 1 Pita 3:3, 4.
Ko ha Totongi Fuʻu Māʻolunga
Ko e hā mo ha toe ʻuhinga ʻoku totonu ke tau hanganaki tauhi ai ʻetau foungá ke mamaʻo mei he founga ʻa ha tokotaha anga-taʻefakamaʻumaʻu? ʻOku tali mai ʻe Solomone: “Telia naa ke foaki ho ogolelei [“ngeiá,” NW] ki ha kakai kehe, bea mo ho gaahi taʻu ki he kakai loto fakafajifaji: Telia naa bito ae kau muli i ho malohi; bea e i he fale oe muli hoo gaahi gaue; bea ke tagi mamahi amui, oka kai o oji ho kakano mo ho jino.”—Palovepi 5:9-11, PM.
ʻOku fakamamafaʻi mai ʻe Solomone ʻa e totongi māʻolunga ʻo e tō ki he ʻulungaanga taʻetāú. Ko e tonó mo e mole ʻo e ngeiá, pe tokaʻi-kitá, ʻokú na fetakinima. ʻIkai ʻoku fakamā moʻoni ke fai pē ha meʻa ko e fakafiemālieʻi ʻetau holi fakaeʻulungaanga ʻa kitautolú pe ko ha tokotaha kehe? ʻIkai ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e ʻikai ha tokaʻi-kitá ʻi he ʻulutukua ki he fehokotaki fakasino fekoekoeʻi mo ha taha ʻoku ʻikai ko hotau hoa malí?
Ko ia, ko e hā ʻoku kau ʻi he ‘foaki hotau gaahi taʻú, hotau malohí, mo ʻetau gaahi gaué ki he kau mulí, pe kakai kehé’? ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakamatala ʻa e tohi ʻe taha: “Ko e ʻuhinga ʻo e ngaahi vēsí ni ʻoku mahino: Ko e totongi ʻo e taʻeangatonú ʻoku māʻolunga nai; he ko e meʻa kotoa ʻokú te ngāue ki aí—ʻa e tuʻungá, mafaí, tuʻumālié—ʻoku malava ke mole atu ia fakafou ʻi he ngaahi kouna mānumanu ʻa e fefiné, pe ko e lāunga ʻa e koló koeʻuhi ko hono ongoongó.” Ko ha mole lahi ʻoku lava ke fai ʻe he ngaahi fehokotaki fakasino taʻetāú!
ʻI hono fakamoleki ʻa hono ngeiá pea ʻosiʻosingamālie atu mo ʻene ngaahi koloá, ʻe toʻe leva ʻa e tangata valé, ʻo pehē: “Nae lahi eku fehia ki he akonaki, bea nae manukiʻi e hoku loto ae valoki; bea nae ikai teu talagofua ki he leʻo o hoku kau akonaki, be fakatokagaʻi hoku teliga kiate kinautolu naa nau ako kiate au! Naaku meimei kau i he kovi kotoabe i he lotolotoga oe haohaoga moe fakatahaaga.”—Palovepi 5:12-14, PM.
ʻI he ʻalu ʻa e taimí, ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻe he tokotaha angahalá ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ui ʻe ha poto mataotao ʻe taha “ko ha toe fakalau lōloa ʻo e ‘ngaahi kapau pē ā’: kapau pē ā naʻá ku fanongo ki heʻeku tamaí; kapau pē ā naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ʻi heʻeku foungá; kapau pē ā naʻá ku tali ʻa e faleʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé.” Kae kehe, ʻoku fuʻu tōmui ʻa e haʻu ia ʻa e ʻilo ko ʻení. Ko e moʻui taʻeangamaʻa ia ʻa e tokotahá he taimi ní kuó ne ʻosi fai ʻe ia ʻa e maumau pea ko hono ongoongo ʻoʻoná kuo ʻuli.

“Maʻu Ho Vai Inu mei Ho Lepa Pe Oʻou”
ʻOku fakalolongo ʻa e Tohitapú ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fehokotaki fakasinó? ʻIkai ʻaupito. Ko e ongo ʻo e ʻofa manakó pea mo e hākailangitau ʻoku maʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ha tangata mo ha fefine ko e ongo meʻaʻofa ia mei he ʻOtuá. Kae kehe, ko e fekoekoeʻi ko ʻení ke fiefia ai ʻa e ngaahi hoa malí pē. Ko ia, ʻoku ʻomai ʻe Solomone ʻa e enginaki ko ʻení ki ha tangata mali: “Maʻu ho vai inu mei ho lepa pe oʻou, mo hoʻo holi vai tufu ke lahi, mei hoʻou pe vai. Ke tangikafa ho fauniteni ki malaʻe, kae ʻi ai ʻani mangaʻivai ʻi he ngaahi hala. Ke aʻau pe tafataha, ʻo ʻoua ʻe kau ai hani muli.”—Palovepi 5:15-17.
Ko e “lepa pe oʻou” mo e “hoʻou pe vai” ko e ongo lea fakaemaau ia ki ha uaifi ʻofeina. Ko hono hokosia ʻa e fiefia ʻi he fehokotaki fakasino mo iá ʻoku fakatatau ia ki he inu ʻo ha vai fakaivimālohi. ʻI he ʻikai hangē ko e ngaahi maʻuʻanga vai ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu fakapuleʻangá, ko ha lepa pe vai, ʻoku fakakaukau atu ki ai ko e meʻa fakatāutaha ia. Pea ʻoku akonaki ki he tangatá ke fakatupu fānau ʻi ʻapi mo hono uaifí kae ʻikai ko hono fakamovete hono hakó ʻi he ngaahi halá, ʻa ia, ko e lotolotonga ʻo e kau fefine kehé. ʻOku hā mahino, ko e faleʻi ia ki ha tangata ke ne anga-tonu ki hono uaifí.
ʻOku hoko atu ʻa e tangata potó: “Ke monuia ho matavai: bea ke fiefia koe i ho unoho aia naa ke maʻu i hoo kei talavou. Ke tatau be ia moe hainite ofa moe kaseli fakaofoofa; bea ke fiemalie mau ai be koe i hono fatafata; bea ke fakafiefiaʻi koe i he aho kotoabe i he ene ofa.”—Palovepi 5:18, 19, PM.
Ko e “matavai,” pe faunitení, ko e lave ia ki he matavai ʻo e fiemālie fakaefehokotaki fakasinó. Ko e fiefia fakaefehokotaki fakasino mo hoto hoa malí ko e “monuia”—ko e foaki mai ʻe he ʻOtuá.

ʻOku hoko atu ʻa Solomone ʻo ne ʻomai ʻa e ongo fehuʻi ke tali loto pē: “He ko e ha ai, tama, ke ke toʻoa ha fefine muli, mo pikitai ki he fatafata ʻo ha kehe?” (Palovepi 5:20) ʻIo, ko e hā ka tauheleʻi ai ha tokotaha mali ki ha fekoekoeʻi fakaefehokotaki fakasino ʻi tuʻa ia mei he nofo malí fakafou ʻi he ngaahi felāveʻi ʻi ha ngāueʻanga, ʻi he ʻapiakó, pe ko ha feituʻu kehe?
Ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻosi malí, ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e akonaki ko ʻení: “Ko ʻeku tala atu ʻeni, kainga, Kuo fakanounou ʻa e kuonga, koeʻuhi ʻi he taimi ʻoku toe, ke ʻilonga ʻa e maʻu uaifi, ke nau hange ʻoku ʻikai te nau maʻu.” (1 Kolinito 7:29) Ko e hā ʻoku fakahuʻuhuʻu ki ai ʻení?
