(Esela 4:8, 13, 21-24) Kae kehe, naʻe toʻo ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻanga ki he ngāue fakamalangá mo e ngāue ngaohi ākongá. ʻI he lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi hongofuluʻi taʻu talu mei he 1919, kuo lakalakaimonū ai ʻa e ngāue ʻo e Puleʻangá pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa kuó ne malava ʻo taʻofi ʻene laka ki muʻá.
