3. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻamanekina ʻe Sihova mei hono ngaahi kaumeʻá?

ʻOku ʻofa ʻa Sihova ki he kakai kotoa pē, “ka ʻokú Ne kaumeʻa ofi mo e faitotonú.” (Palōveepi 3:​32) ʻOku ʻamanekina ʻe Sihova hono ngaahi kaumeʻá ke nau feinga ke fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻokú ne vakai ki ai ʻoku leleí pea fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi meʻa ʻokú ne pehē ʻoku koví. ʻE ongoʻi nai ʻe he niʻihi heʻikai ʻaupito pē lava ke nau moʻui ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa Sihova ki he leleí mo e koví. Kae kehe, ko Sihová ʻokú ne mohu meesi. ʻOkú ne tali ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻoku ʻofa moʻoni ʻiate Ia mo fai hono lelei tahá ke fakahōifuaʻi Iá.​​—Saame 147:11; Ngāue 10:​34, 35.
