ʻI ha ngaahi lea ʻofa ʻa ha tamai, ʻoku pehē ʻe he poto ko Tuʻi Solomone ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá: “E hoku foha, kapau te ke maʻu ʻa ʻeku ngaahi leá pea tuku tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekaú tonu ʻiate koe, koeʻuhiā ke ke tokanga ki he potó ʻaki ho telingá, ʻo ke ofeʻi ai ho lotó kia ʻiloʻilo; ʻikai ngata aí, kapau te ke ui kia mahino tonu mo ke tuku atu ho leʻó kia ʻiloʻilo tonu, kapau te ke hanganaki kumi ki ai ʻo hangē ki ha siliva, pea hangē ki ha ngaahi koloa fufū ʻa hoʻo hanganaki haʻao ki aí, ʻi he tuʻunga ko iá te ke toki mahinoʻi ai ʻa e manavahē kia Sihová, pea te ke toki maʻu ai ʻa e ʻiloʻi tonu ʻo e ʻOtuá.”​—Palovepi 2:​1-5, NW.

Ko e tokanga ki he potó ʻoku kau ki ai ʻa hono maʻu mai ʻa e ʻiloʻiló mo e mahinó. Fakatatau ki he Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary, ko e ʻiloʻiló ko e “mālohi ia pe mafai ʻo e ʻatamaí ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakafaikehekeheʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha mei he meʻa ʻe taha.” Ko e ʻiloʻilo fakaʻotuá ko e malava ke fakafaikehekeheʻi ʻa e tonú mei he halá pea toki fili leva ʻa e ʻalunga totonú. Ka ʻikai ke ‘ofeʻi hotau lotó’ ki he ʻiloʻiló pe loto-vēkeveke ke maʻu ia, ʻe lava fēfē ke tau nofo ʻi he “hala, ʻoku fakatau ki he moʻui”? (Mātiu 7:​14; fakafehoanaki mo Teutalonome 30:​19, 20.) Ko hono ako mo ngāueʻaki ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻomai ai ʻa e ʻiloʻiló.

ʻE anga-fēfē nai haʻatau “ui kia mahino”​—ʻa e malava ko ia ke sio ki he anga ʻo e felāveʻi ʻa e ngaahi tafaʻaki ʻo ha meʻa pea ki hono fakalūkufuá? Ko e moʻoni, ko e taʻumotuʻá mo e taukeí, ko e ongo tefitoʻi meʻa ia ʻe lava ke na tokoniʻi kitautolu ke fakatupulekina ha mahino lahi ange​—ka ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ia ke pehē. (Siope 12:12; 32:​6-​12) “ʻI he lahi ange ʻeku mahinó ʻi he kau mātuʻá ʻoku ou anga-lelei aí,” ko e lea ia ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé, “koeʻuhi kuó u tauhi hoʻo [Sihova] ngaahi fekaú tonu.” Naʻá ne toe hiva: “Ko hono fakaeʻa tonu hoʻo folofolá ʻoku ʻomi maama, ʻo ngaohi ai ʻa e faʻahinga taʻetaukeí ke mahino.” (Sāme 119:​100, 130, NW) Ko Sihova ʻa “Talumeimuʻa,” pea ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e mahino ʻoku māʻolunga taʻefakangatangata ʻi he kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. (Taniela 7:​13) ʻOku lava ke ʻomai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e mahino ki ha taha taʻetaukei, ʻo fakamafeia ia ke ne hulu atu ʻi he tuʻunga ko iá ʻo aʻu pē ki he faʻahinga ʻoku taʻumotuʻa angé. Ko ia ai, ʻoku totonu ke tau tōtōivi ʻi hono ako mo ngāueʻaki ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻa e Tohitapú.

Ko e kupuʻi lea ʻoku toutou leaʻaki “kapau te ke” ʻi he konga kamata ʻo e vahe hono ua ʻo e Palovepí, ʻoku hoko atu ai ʻa e ngaahi kupuʻi lea hangē ko e “maʻu,” “tuku tauhi,” “ui,” “hanganaki kumi,” “hanganaki haʻao.” Ko e hā ʻoku ngāueʻaki ai ʻe he tokotaha-tohí ʻa e ngaahi kupuʻi lea mālohi fakautuutu ko ení? Ko e lau eni ʻa ha tohi maʻuʻanga fakamatala ʻe taha: “Ko e tokotaha poto [hení] ʻokú ne fakamamafaʻi ʻa e fiemaʻu ʻo e fakamātoato ʻi he tuli ki he potó.” ʻIo, kuo pau ke tau tuli fakamātoato ki he potó mo hono ongo anga felāveʻi mo iá​—ʻa e ʻiloʻiló mo e mahinó.
