"4Kapau kuo ke fai ha tukumo‘ui ki he ‘Otua, ‘oua te ke fakatuai ke fai: he ‘oku ‘ikai ha hōifua ‘i he kau sesele: ko e tukumo‘ui kuo ke tala, fai. 5‘Oku ngutuhua ange ha‘o ta‘efai ha tukumo‘ui, ‘i ha‘o fai kae ‘ikai fakaai."

14‘A ia na‘e pu‘aki ‘e hoku loungutu,

‘O lea‘aki ‘e hoku ngutu ‘i he falala mai ‘a e mamahi."

KO E FAI ʻO E NGAAHI TUKUMOʻUI, KE FAKAHAAʻI ʻA E ʻOFA KI HE ʻEIKÍ ʻI HE FOUNGA MAKEHE. Neongo ko e tukumoʻuí, ko e pole pe ki ai, ko e taha ko e feilaulau ke fakakakato ʻaki, pea ko e taha ko hono fai. ʻOku ʻamanaki mai ʻa e ʻOtuá ki hono kakai, ke nau tauhi ʻenau tukupaá, mo e meʻa ʻoku nau lea ʻakí. He ko ʻeni ʻa e lea ʻa Sīsuú ki hono kau muimui, “Ke pehē ni hoʻomou leá, ʻIo, ʻIo, ʻIkai, ʻIkai, he ka ai hano fakalahi ʻoku mei he filí ia”. Ko e ngaahi fuakava, pe ko e ngaahi tukumoʻuí naʻe tatau pe, ka naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki hono kau muimuí, ke ʻoua te nau ngāueʻaki ia ʻe kinautolu. Ko ʻenau leá pē pea feʻunga. Ko ha tōnounou ke fakakakato ha fuakava, ʻoku lau leva ia ko e angahala (Koheleti 5:4-6). He ko e fuakavá, pē tukumoʻuí ko e foʻi pole maʻa, ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ke fai hano fakalakalaka ʻo e meʻa fakaʻOtuá. ʻOku tau tuku tauʻataina pe, pea te tau fai ha tukumoʻui maʻae ʻOtuá, ʻe maʻu ha kau tangata ke nau tokoni ʻi hono faí, pea ko e kotoa ʻe hono fai ʻo e tukumoʻuí, ke tauʻataina mo fiefia. Tokangaʻi ange ʻa e lao faka kosipeli “Ke taki taha fai ki he meʻa kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻi hono lotó, pea ʻoua ʻe fai ʻi he mamahi pe ko e puʻia, he ʻoku ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki ha taha ʻoku vekeveke foaki (2 Kol 9:7). Ko eni ʻa e ʻuhinga lelei, ʻoku totonu ai ke tau totongi ʻetau ngaahi tukumoʻuí, he kapau heʻikai ʻe fiemaʻu ia ʻe he ʻOtuá kia kitautolu, he ʻoku ʻikai ko e loi pe, ko e ʻamanaki kuo fai tonu ki heʻene ʻafió. Ko e ʻulungaanga ʻo e foakí, ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi ia, ʻi he lahi ʻo e meʻa ʻoku foakí. Ko ha taha ʻoku lava ʻo foaki haʻane kiʻi meʻaʻofa siʻisiʻi, ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke ne mā ai. He ʻoku tokanga ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo fekauʻaki mo e anga ʻo ʻene foaki meʻa heʻene maʻuʻanga meʻa (Mk 12:41-44). ʻO fakatatau pe ki he tuʻunga takitaha. Ko e foaki ʻa e ngaahi siasi ʻi Masetoniá, naʻe faingataʻa ke maʻu ka ki he ʻOtuá ko e kau foaki fiefia. He ʻoku lau kotoa ʻa e meʻa kuo ne fai maʻa kitautolú. ʻOkú ne hoifua ko kitautolu ia naʻa ne ngaahi ʻi hono ʻimisi, ke fai ʻa e vekeveke foaki mo e fiefia. ʻOku ke faingataʻaʻia ʻi he taimi ʻoku tukuange ai hoʻo paʻangá ke ʻalú? Ko koe hono ʻimisí.
