Talu mei he Penitekosi ʻo e 33 T.S., ko e “fonua” ko iá naʻe ʻikai ke toe ʻuhinga ia ki ha feituʻu pau ʻi he māmaní; he ko e kakai ʻa Sihová ʻoku nau mafola atu ʻi he feituʻu kotoa he māmaní. ʻI hono kehé, ko e “Fonua Fakaʻofoʻofá” ʻi he ʻahó ni ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki he founga moʻui ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová ʻa ia ʻoku kau ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa hangē ko ʻenau lotu kia Sihová fakafou ʻi he ngaahi fakatahá mo e ngāue fakamalangá.

 9. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu ki mui ní, kuo anga-fēfē ʻa e hū ʻa Lūsia mo ʻene faʻahí “ki he Fonua Fakaʻofoʻofá”?

Kae kehe, naʻa mo hono fakatangaʻi kakaha ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová, ʻoku nau fakafisi ke kau ki ha fakafepaki pe liliu ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga fakaetangatá. ʻI hono kehé, ʻoku nau muimui ʻi he faleʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú ke lotu maʻá e “faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga māʻolungá,” tautefito ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau fai ai ʻa e ngaahi fili ʻoku kaunga ki he tauʻatāina ke lotú.—1 Tīm. 2:1, 2.

¹² ʻOku toe fakamatala ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Sioné ki ha hokohoko ʻo e ngaahi mafai ʻi māmani te nau puleʻi ʻa e kakai ʻa Sihová. ʻOku fakahoa ʻe Sione ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga ko ení ki ha manu fekai ʻulu fitu. Ko e ʻulu hono fitu ʻo e manu fekai ko iá ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e Puleʻanga Hau ʻi Māmani ko Pilitānia-ʻAmeliká. ʻOku mahuʻinga eni koeʻuhi ko e manu fekaí ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻasi ia ʻe toe tupu hano ʻulu ʻe taha.
