17, 18. (a) Naʻe ʻuluaki uesia fēfē ʻa ʻAisea ʻe heʻene vīsoné? (e) Naʻe anga-fēfē hono ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ha selāfimi ke ne fakafiemālieʻi ʻa ʻAiseá, pea ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e ngāue ʻa e selāfimí?

¹⁷ Kae kehe, ʻoku totonu ke hanga ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo ʻai kitautolu ke tau ongoʻi māʻulalo ange ʻi hono fakahoa atú? Ko e moʻoni ko e tali ki aí ko e ʻio. He ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku tau māʻulalo kia Sihova​—pea ko hano fakasiʻisiʻi pē ia ʻo e fakamatalaʻi ʻo ha ngaahi tuʻunga faikehekehe kāfakafa. ʻOku totonu ke hanga ʻe he ʻilo ko iá ʻo fakamavaheʻi kitautolu meiate ia? Fakakaukau angé ki he tali ʻa ʻAisea ʻi heʻene fanongo ki he fanongonongo ʻe he kau selāfimí ʻa e māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihová. “Pea u pehe, ʻOiaue kita kuo te ʻauha! He ko e tangata loungutu taʻemaʻa kita, pea ko e kakai loungutu taʻemaʻa ʻoku te nofo ai: he ko e Tuʻi ia kuo mātaʻi hoku mata ni, ʻa Sihova Sapaoti!” (Aisea 6:5) ʻIo, naʻe fakamanatu ʻe he māʻoniʻoni taʻefakangatangata ʻa Sihová kia ʻAisea ʻa ʻene angahalaʻiá mo ʻene taʻehaohaoá. ʻI he kamatá, naʻe ongoʻi lōmekina ʻa e tangata faitōnunga ko iá. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke tuku ia ʻe Sihova ʻi he tuʻunga ko iá.

¹⁸ Naʻe fakanonga vave ʻe ha selāfimi ʻa e palōfitá. Anga-fēfē? Naʻe puna mai ʻa e meʻamoʻui laumālie māfimafí ki he ʻōlitá, ʻo toʻo ha malala mei ai, pea ʻai ʻa e malalá ki he loungutu ʻo ʻAiseá. ʻOku ongo ngali fakamamahi ange ʻa e meʻa ia ko iá ʻo ʻikai fakafiemālie. Neongo ia, manatuʻi, ko ha vīsone ʻeni ia, ʻoku fonu ʻi he ʻuhinga fakaefakatātā. Ko ʻAiseá, ko ha tokotaha Siu faitōnunga, naʻá ne ʻilo lelei naʻe foaki fakaʻaho ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau ʻi he ʻōlita ʻi he temipalé ke fakamolemole ai ʻa e ngaahi angahalá. Pea naʻe fakamanatu anga-ʻofa ange ʻe he selāfimí ki he palōfitá ʻo pehē neongo naʻá ne taʻehaohaoa moʻoni, ʻo “loungutu taʻemaʻa,” naʻá ne kei malava pē ke hoko ki ha tuʻunga maʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá.a Naʻe loto-lelei ʻa Sihova ke vakai mai ki ha tangata taʻehaohaoa mo angahalaʻia ʻokú ne māʻoniʻoni​—ko hono moʻoní ʻi ha ʻuhinga fakangatangata.​—Aisea 6:6, 7.
