ʻOku ʻikai ke lave ʻa e Tohi Tapú ia ki ha lao pau fekauʻaki mo e fakatōtamá. Neongo ia, ʻoku ʻomai ʻi he ngaahi veesi Tohi Tapu lahi ʻa e vakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he moʻui ʻa e tangatá, ʻo kau ai ha kiʻi tama teʻeki fanauʻi.

 Ko e moʻuí ko ha meʻaʻofa mei he ʻOtuá. (Sēnesi 9:6; Saame 36:9) ʻOkú ne vakai ki he moʻui kotoa ʻoku mahuʻinga, kau ai ʻa e moʻui ʻa ha kiʻi tama ʻoku kei ʻi manava. Ko ia kapau ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻiloʻilo pau ʻe ha taha ha kiʻi tama teʻeki fanauʻi, ko e tāmate ia.

 Ko e Lao ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he kau ʻIsilelí naʻe pehē ai: “Kapau ʻe fuhu ha ongo tangata peá na fakalaveaʻi ha fefine feitama ʻo ne fāʻele taʻehoko ai ka ʻoku ʻikai hoko ai ha mate, kuo pau ke totongi ʻe he tokotaha fakalaveá ʻa e ngaahi maumau ʻe hilifaki kiate ia ʻe he husepāniti ʻo e fefiné; pea kuo pau ke ne totongi ia ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e kau fakamāú.

 ʻOku vakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e moʻui ʻa e tangatá ʻoku kamata ʻi hono tuʻituʻiaʻi. ʻI heʻene Folofolá, ʻa e Tohi Tapú, ʻoku fakahaaʻi maʻu pē ʻe he ʻOtuá ha kiʻi tama teʻeki fanauʻi ko ha tokotaha mavahe.

Naʻe tala ange ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate ia: “Ki muʻa ke u faʻu koe ʻi manavá naʻá ku ʻosi ʻiloʻi koe, pea ki muʻa ke fāʻeleʻi koé naʻá ku ʻosi fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi koe. Naʻá ku ʻai koe ko ha palōfita ki he ngaahi puleʻangá.”​—Selemaia 1:5.

 Ko e faʻahinga naʻa nau fakatōtamá ʻe lava ke nau maʻu ʻa e fakamolemole ʻa e ʻOtuá. Kapau ʻoku nau tali he taimí ni ʻa e vakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he moʻuí, ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ke lōmekina kinautolu ʻe he ongoʻi halaiá. “Ko Sihová ʻoku mohu meesi mo manavaʻofa . . . Hangē ko e mamaʻo ʻa e hopoʻanga laʻaá mei he tōʻanga laʻaá, ʻoku pehē ʻa e mamaʻo ʻo ʻene ʻave meiate kitautolu ʻa ʻetau laka halá.” b (Saame 103:8-12) ʻE fakamolemoleʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau fakatomala loto-moʻoni ʻi heʻenau ngaahi faiangahala ʻi he kuohilí, kau ai ʻa e fakatōtamá.​—Saame 86:5.
