Sios 20:1,2 “Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē, Mou vaheʻi hamou ngaahi kolo hufanga ʻa ia naʻá ku lea ai kiate kimoutolu ʻia Mosese”. Ko e ngaahi kolo hufangá ʻoku makehe pe kinautolu mei he toenga ʻo e ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsilelí. Ko ha kakai foʻou, ʻi ha fonua foʻou, naʻá ne fiemaʻu ha puleʻanga foʻou ʻoku totonu ke ngāue. Ko e taha ʻi he ngaahi ngāue naʻe fiemaʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻIsileli ke fai, ʻi he taimi te nau hū ai ki he fonua ʻo e talaʻofá, ke nau vaheʻi ha ngaahi kolo pau. “Ko e ngaahi kolo hufanga” ʻo nau fokotuʻu kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu kehekehe pe ʻo e fonuá. Ko honau ngaahi taumuʻá ke maluʻi ʻa e fakamaau taʻetotonú, kae tautefito ʻi he ngaahi keisi ʻo e fai sauní. Ko e sīpingá, kapau leva ʻe fai ʻe ha taha ha meʻa fakatuʻutamaki ʻo mate ai ha taha kehe, ʻo ʻikai ko haʻane fakakaukau tamate, ʻe lava ke ne hola ki ha kolo hufanga ke ne hao ki ai, kaeʻoua kuó ne maʻu ʻa e fakamaau totonu. Ko e kau Livaí te nau ngāue ki he ngaahi kolo ko ení. Pea te nau fakapapauʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻo e fakamaauʻanga mo lelei ke tauhi Ko Sīsū Kalaisi hotau “Kolo hufanga” (Hep 6:18-20) He ko e fakamoʻui ʻokú ne foakí ʻoku faikehekehe ia mo e hufanga ʻoku foaki ki he tokotaha tamate tangatá. Ko hono moʻoní ko e tokotaha angahalá kuopau ia ke haʻu kia Kalaisi (Mt 11:28-30). Pea ko e moʻoni ʻe tahá ko ia naʻe ʻuluaki haʻu ia kia kitautolu (Lk 19:10). Ko e kau faifekau Livaí naʻa nau ngāue ʻi he ngaahi kolo hufanga ʻo ʻIsilelí, naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻalu kinautolu ʻo kumi ʻa e kakaí ke tokoniʻi. ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau ʻalu ai kia Kalaisí ʻoku ʻikai ha fakamaauʻanga ke fakapapauʻi ʻoku tau halaia. ʻOku tau ʻiloʻi pe ʻoku tau halaia! Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻa tau hola ai kia Kalaisí. Naʻe ʻikai ke tau tuʻu pe ʻi he matapaá ʻo talitali ai. Naʻa tau hū ki he matapā kuo fakaava (Sn 10:9) Pea naʻe talitali kitautolu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí, ʻo tau ʻiloʻi fakalelei, heʻikai ke tau toe sio ʻi he halaiá (Sn 5:24 ; Lm 8:1). Ko e toko taha ne hola ki he kolo hufangá te ne kei ʻi ai pe he koló ka ko kitautolu ʻoku tau hū atu mo hū mai ʻo maʻu meʻakai (Sn 10:9).
