ʻI he fakamatala ki he founga-moʻui ʻa ha fefine anga-taʻefakamaʻumaʻu, ʻoku hoko atu ʻa e tuʻi potó: “Ko e vaʻe ʻo e fefine ko ia ʻoku hifo ai pe kia Mate; ko ʻene taulaka ʻoku fakahangatonu ki Lolofonua.

Ko e hā mo ha toe ʻuhinga ʻoku totonu ke tau hanganaki tauhi ai ʻetau foungá ke mamaʻo mei he founga ʻa ha tokotaha anga-taʻefakamaʻumaʻu? ʻOku tali mai ʻe Solomone: “Telia naa ke foaki ho ogolelei [“ngeiá,” NW] ki ha kakai kehe, bea mo ho gaahi taʻu ki he kakai loto fakafajifaji: Telia naa bito ae kau muli i ho malohi; bea e i he fale oe muli hoo gaahi gaue; bea ke tagi mamahi amui, oka kai o oji ho kakano mo ho jino.”—Palovepi 5:9-11, PM.
ʻOku fakamamafaʻi mai ʻe Solomone ʻa e totongi māʻolunga ʻo e tō ki he ʻulungaanga taʻetāú. Ko e tonó mo e mole ʻo e ngeiá, pe tokaʻi-kitá, ʻokú na fetakinima. ʻIkai ʻoku fakamā moʻoni ke fai pē ha meʻa ko e fakafiemālieʻi ʻetau holi fakaeʻulungaanga ʻa kitautolú pe ko ha tokotaha kehe? ʻIkai ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e ʻikai ha tokaʻi-kitá ʻi he ʻulutukua ki he fehokotaki fakasino fekoekoeʻi mo ha taha ʻoku ʻikai ko hotau hoa malí?

ʻI he ʻalu ʻa e taimí, ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻe he tokotaha angahalá ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ui ʻe ha poto mataotao ʻe taha “ko ha toe fakalau lōloa ʻo e ‘ngaahi kapau pē ā’: kapau pē ā naʻá ku fanongo ki heʻeku tamaí; kapau pē ā naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu ʻi heʻeku foungá; kapau pē ā naʻá ku tali ʻa e faleʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé.” Kae kehe, ʻoku fuʻu tōmui ʻa e haʻu ia ʻa e ʻilo ko ʻení.

“Maʻu Ho Vai Inu mei Ho Lepa Pe Oʻou”
ʻOku fakalolongo ʻa e Tohitapú ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fehokotaki fakasinó? ʻIkai ʻaupito. Ko e ongo ʻo e ʻofa manakó pea mo e hākailangitau ʻoku maʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ha tangata mo ha fefine ko e ongo meʻaʻofa ia mei he ʻOtuá. Kae kehe, ko e fekoekoeʻi ko ʻení ke fiefia ai ʻa e ngaahi hoa malí pē. Ko ia, ʻoku ʻomai ʻe Solomone ʻa e enginaki ko ʻení ki ha tangata mali: “Maʻu ho vai inu mei ho lepa pe oʻou, mo hoʻo holi vai tufu ke lahi, mei hoʻou pe vai. Ke tangikafa ho fauniteni ki malaʻe, kae ʻi ai ʻani mangaʻivai ʻi he ngaahi hala. Ke aʻau pe tafataha, ʻo ʻoua ʻe kau ai hani muli.”—Palovepi 5:15-17.
Ko e “lepa pe oʻou” mo e “hoʻou pe vai” ko e ongo lea fakaemaau ia ki ha uaifi ʻofeina. Ko hono hokosia ʻa e fiefia ʻi he fehokotaki fakasino mo iá ʻoku fakatatau ia ki he inu ʻo ha vai fakaivimālohi. ʻI he ʻikai hangē ko e ngaahi maʻuʻanga vai ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu fakapuleʻangá, ko ha lepa pe vai, ʻoku fakakaukau atu ki ai ko e meʻa fakatāutaha ia. Pea ʻoku akonaki ki he tangatá ke fakatupu fānau ʻi ʻapi mo hono uaifí kae ʻikai ko hono fakamovete hono hakó ʻi he ngaahi halá, ʻa ia, ko e lotolotonga ʻo e kau fefine kehé. ʻOku hā mahino, ko e faleʻi ia ki ha tangata ke ne anga-tonu ki hono uaifí.
ʻOku hoko atu ʻa e tangata potó: “Ke monuia ho matavai: bea ke fiefia koe i ho unoho aia naa ke maʻu i hoo kei talavou. Ke tatau be ia moe hainite ofa moe kaseli fakaofoofa; bea ke fiemalie mau ai be koe i hono fatafata; bea ke fakafiefiaʻi koe i he aho kotoabe i he ene ofa.”—Palovepi 5:18, 19, PM.
Ko e “matavai,” pe faunitení, ko e lave ia ki he matavai ʻo e fiemālie fakaefehokotaki fakasinó. Ko e fiefia fakaefehokotaki fakasino mo hoto hoa malí ko e “monuia”—ko e foaki mai ʻe he ʻOtuá.

ʻOku hoko atu ʻa Solomone ʻo ne ʻomai ʻa e ongo fehuʻi ke tali loto pē: “He ko e ha ai, tama, ke ke toʻoa ha fefine muli, mo pikitai ki he fatafata ʻo ha kehe?” (Palovepi 5:20) ʻIo, ko e hā ka tauheleʻi ai ha tokotaha mali ki ha fekoekoeʻi fakaefehokotaki fakasino ʻi tuʻa ia mei he nofo malí fakafou ʻi he ngaahi felāveʻi ʻi ha ngāueʻanga, ʻi he ʻapiakó, pe ko ha feituʻu kehe?

Ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻosi malí, ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻa e akonaki ko ʻení: “Ko ʻeku tala atu ʻeni, kainga, Kuo fakanounou ʻa e kuonga, koeʻuhi ʻi he taimi ʻoku toe, ke ʻilonga ʻa e maʻu uaifi, ke nau hange ʻoku ʻikai te nau maʻu.” (Fiemaʻu ke Mapuleʻi-Kita
ʻOku malava ke mapuleʻi ʻa e ngaahi holi fakaefehokotaki fakasinó.
