Naʻe tomuʻa mamata ‘a Nīfai ki he ‘aʻahi ‘a Sīsū Kalaisi ki he ongo ‘Ameliká mo e fakaʻauha ‘e hoko ki hono kakaí. Naʻe tomuʻa mamata foki ‘a Nīfai kiate kinautolu te nau moʻui ‘i he ngaahi ‘aho fakaʻosí peá ne fakatokanga kiate kinautolu, ke nau tokanga telia ‘a e loto-hīkisiá, ngaahi kautaha fufuú, mo e ngāue fakataulaʻeiki kākaá. Naʻe fakakau ‘e Nīfai ‘a e ngaahi kikite ‘a ‘Īsaia ki hono Toe Fakafoki Mai ‘o e ongoongolelei ‘o Sīsū Kalaisí ‘i he ngaahi ‘aho fakaʻosí, ke fakatātaaʻi mai ‘a e founga ‘e teuteu ai ‘e he ‘Eikí ha hala ke tau ikunaʻi ai ‘a e ngaahi nunuʻa ‘o e fai angahalá mo e hē mei he moʻoní.

Kuó ke ‘i ha feituʻu nai naʻe hoko ai ha mofuike, pe mana mo ‘uhila lahi, pe ha ngaahi meʻa faka‘auha kehe pe te ke sio ‘i ha ngaahi tā pe vitiō ‘o ha ngaahi meʻa pehē? Naʻe mamata ‘a Nīfai ki he ngaahi ‘aho fakaʻosí ‘a ia ‘e hoko mai ai ki he kakai ‘o e māmaní ‘a e “ngaahi mana, mo e ngaahi tapa ‘a e ‘uhilá, mo e ngaahi mofuike, mo e ngaahi faʻahinga fakaʻauha kotoa pē” (2 Nīfai 26:6). Ko e hā ha meʻa ‘okú ke fakakaukau ki ai ‘i hoʻo lau ‘o kau ki he “houhau ‘o e ‘Eikí” (2 Nīfai 26:6) pe ko e “ngaahi tautea ‘a e ‘Otuá” (2 Nīfai 25:3)? Ko e taumuʻa ‘o e ngaahi tautea ‘a e ‘Otuá ke tāpuekina ‘a ‘Ene fānaú—ke ngaohi ‘a e kau angahalá ke nau fakatomala mo maluʻi ‘a e kau māʻoniʻoní. Naʻe kikiteʻi ‘e Nīfai ‘i he 2 Nīfai 26:1–11, ‘a e ngaahi fakaʻauha ‘e hoko kimuʻa ‘i he hāʻele mai ‘a Sīsū Kalaisi ki he ongo ‘Ameliká pea mo hono fakaʻauha ‘o hono kakaí koeʻuhí ko ‘enau fai angahalá.

   2. Kuó ke fakamoʻoniʻi pe ko haʻo aʻusia fēfē ‘a e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi fakahā ko ‘eni ‘o Sīsū Kalaisí?

Naʻe kikiteʻi ‘e Nīfai ‘i he 2 Nīfai 26:14–19, ‘e ‘omi ‘a e Tohi ‘a Molomoná ‘o ka hili hono fakavaivaiʻi hono kakaí mo e hako ‘o hono ngaahi tokouá ‘i he ngaahi ‘aho fakaʻosí koeʻuhí ko ‘enau taʻe tuí.

Fakalaulauloto ki he hoko ha kiʻi tu‘oni filo ‘e taha ko ha “afo mālohí” ‘i he 2 Nīfai 26:32.

2. Fakakaukau ‘okú ke akoʻi ki haʻo kaungāmeʻa ‘a e founga ke ne fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei he ngaahi tauhele ‘a e tēvoló (Sētane). Fakaʻaongaʻi ‘a e 2 Nīfai 26:20–22, 32, peá ke hiki ha palakalafi ʻi hoʻo tohinoa ki he ako folofolá ‘o kau ki he founga ‘oku feinga ai ‘a e tēvoló ke haʻi kitautolú.

Naʻe mamata ‘a Nīfai ki he fakaʻauha ‘oku fakatupu ‘e he filí peá ne fakatokanga mai ki he ngaahi tauhele mo e mālohi ‘o Sētané ‘i he ngaahi ‘aho fakaʻosí. ʻI hono fehangahangai ‘a e ngaahi ngāue ‘o e fakapoʻuli ‘a Sētané, naʻe akoʻi ai ‘e Nīfai ‘a e ‘ofa ‘a e ‘Otuá ki he kakai kotoa pē pea ko ‘Ene taumuʻá ke fakahaofi ‘a kinautolu kotoa pē ‘e haʻu kiate Iá. Lau ‘a e 2 Nīfai 26:23–24, pea fakaʻilongaʻi ‘a e ngaahi foʻi lea mo e kupuʻi lea ‘oku nau fakamatalaʻi ‘a e anga ‘o e ngāue ‘a e ‘Otuá ki Heʻene fānaú.
