Ko e niʻihi ʻo e kau palōfita naʻe “ueʻi kinautolu ki ai ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoní.” (Lau ʻa e 2 Pita 1:20, 21.) Ko e lea faka-Kalisi ʻoku liliu ko e “ueʻi ki ai” ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e ʻuhinga ko e “fata pe fua mei ha feituʻu ʻe taha ki ha feituʻu ʻe taha,” pea ʻe “lava ke liliu kehekehe ia ko e: ʻunuaki, ʻave, tuku ke ueʻi kita.”a ʻOku ngāueʻaki ia ʻi he Ngāue 27:15 ke fakamatalaʻi ha vaka naʻe maʻu pea ʻunuaki, pe ʻave ʻi ha halanga ʻe taha, ʻe he matangí.

4-6. ʻI he ngaahi founga fē naʻe ʻoatu ai ʻe Sihova ʻene pōpoakí ki he kau hiki-tohi Tohi Tapú? Fakatātaaʻi.
4 Naʻe anga-fēfē leva, hono ʻomai ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoní e pōpoaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he kau hiki-tohi Tohi Tapú? Naʻa nau maʻu nai ʻa e ngaahi fakalea tonu māteé pe ngaahi fakakaukau pau naʻe lava ke nau fakahaaʻi ʻi he lea pē ʻanautolu? Fakakaukau angé ki he anga nai hano faʻu ʻe ha tangata pisinisi ha tohi. ʻI he taimi ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ʻa e fakalea tonu māteé, ʻokú ne tohi pē ʻe ia ʻa e tohí pe tala kae tohi ʻe heʻene sekelitalí ʻa e ngaahi foʻi lea taki taha. ʻOku taipeʻi ia ʻe he sekelitalí, pea ko e tohí ʻoku fakamoʻoni hingoa ki ai ʻa e tokotaha pisinisí. ʻI ha ngaahi taimi kehe, ʻokú ne ʻoatu pē ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau tefitó, pea teuteu leva ʻe he sekelitalí ʻa e tohí, ʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa e sitaila pe ngaahi fakalea pē ʻaʻana. ʻE toki lau leva mo vakaiʻi ʻe he tangata pisinisí ʻa e tohí pea ʻai ʻa e sekelitalí ke fai ʻa e ngaahi liliu ʻoku fiemaʻú. ʻI heʻene ʻosí, ko e tohí ʻokú ne fakamoʻoni hingoa ki ai pea ʻoku fai ʻa e vakai ki ai ko e haʻu meiate ia.
5 Hangē ko iá, ko e ngaahi konga ʻe niʻihi ʻo e Tohi Tapú naʻe tokonaki ia ʻe he “louhiʻi nima ʻo Sihova.” (ʻEki. 31:18) Naʻe toe ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e tala kae tohí ʻi he taimi naʻe mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ai ʻa e fakalea tonu māteé. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi he ʻEkisoto 34:27, ʻoku tau lau: “Pea folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mosese, Ke ke tohi maʻa u ʻa e ngaahi lea ko ia: he kuo u fai kovinanite mo koe mo Isileli ʻi he funga ʻo e ngahi lea ko ia.” Pehē foki, naʻe tala ʻe Sihova ki he palōfita ko Selemaiá: “Ke ke tohi i he tohi ae gaahi lea kotoabe kuou lea aki kiate koe.”—Sel. 30:2 (30:1), PM.
