ʻI he kamata ke ke nofo fakataha mo ho hoá, ʻe malanga hake ha ngaahi palopalema kehekehe. ʻOku hoko nai eni koeʻuhí ko e kehekehe ʻa e anga hoʻomo ngaahi fakakaukaú, ongoʻí, mo e ngaahi hokosia ʻi he moʻuí. Pe ko e palopalemá ʻoku haʻu nai mei ha feituʻu kehe pe hoko taʻeʻamanekina.

ʻOku lava ke hoko ko e ʻahiʻahi ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he moʻoni ʻo e meʻa ko iá, ka ʻoku akonaki mai ʻa e Tohi Tapú kiate kitautolu ke tau fehangahangai mo ʻetau ngaahi palopalemá.

MEʻA ʻOKU LEAʻAKI ʻE HE TOHI TAPÚ: “ʻOku ai hano . . . ʻaho ke lea” (Koheleti 3:1, 7) Fakapapauʻi ʻokú ke vaheʻi ha taimi ke talanoa ai ki he palopalemá. Fakahaaʻi faitotonu ke ʻilo ʻe ho hoá ʻa e anga hoʻo ongoʻi mo e fakakaukau ki he meʻa ʻoku fai ki ai ʻa e talanoá. “Lea moʻoni” maʻu pē ki ho hoá.

Ko e tali maluú ʻoku lava ke ne tauhi maʻu ha fetalanoaʻaki lelei mei haʻane fakalalahi ʻo aʻu ki ha feʻohofaki.—Palōveepi 15:4; 26:20.

Neongo kapau ʻoku ʻikai te ke loto-tatau mo ia, anga-ʻofa ai pē ʻo ʻoua ʻaupito ʻe ngalo ke ke fakahāhā ʻa e ʻofa mo e fakaʻapaʻapa ki ho hoá. (Kolose 4:6) Feinga ke fakaleleiʻi ʻa e palopalemá ʻi he faingamālie vave tahá, pea ʻoua ʻe taʻofi ʻa e fetuʻutakí.—ʻEfesō 4:26.

MEʻA ʻOKU LEAʻAKI ʻE HE TOHI TAPÚ: “Mou maʻu ʻa e femanavaʻofaʻaki loloto. ʻI he fakahāhā ʻo e fefakaʻapaʻapaʻakí, mou takimuʻa ai.” (Loma 12:10) Ko e anga ʻo hoʻo fanongó ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻaupito. Feinga ke mahinoʻi ʻa e anga ʻo e fakakaukau ho hoá fakataha mo e “fakahāhā ʻa e kaungāongoʻi . . . mo e anga-fakatōkilalo.” (1 Pita 3:8; Sēmisi 1:19) ʻOua ʻe fakangalingali pē ʻokú ke fanongó.

Kapau ʻokú ke fakakaukau ki ho hoa malí ko ho kaungāngāue kae ʻikai ko ho tokotaha fakafepakí ia, heʻikai leva “ʻoho ho loto ke ʻita.”—Koheleti 7:9.

MEʻA ʻE LAVA KE KE FAÍ:
