Talu mei he kamata ʻa e liliú, naʻe ngāue tāfataha pē ʻa e Palōfitá ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá. ʻI he ʻaho 7 ʻo Māʻasi 1831, ʻi he taimi naʻe maʻu ai e fakahā ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 45, naʻe ʻosi aʻu ʻa e liliú ki he Sēnesi 19:35. Naʻe fakahinohinoʻi leva ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ke kamata hono liliu e Fuakava Foʻoú (vakai, T&F 45:60–61). Naʻe kamata ngāue ʻa e Palōfitá mo Sitenei Likitoni ki he Kosipeli ʻa Mātiú ʻi he ʻaho pē hono hokó. “Naʻe hiki e ʻaho ʻo e peesi 1 ʻo e fakamatalá ki he ʻaho 8 ʻo Māʻasi 1831, mo ha kiʻi fakamatala ‘Ko ha Liliu ʻo e Fuakava Foʻoú ʻi he mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá.’ ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he fakamatalá ni e anga ʻa e ongoʻi ʻa e ongo tangatá kau ki he ngāue naʻá na fakahokó” (Robert J. Matthews, A Plainer Translation: Joseph Smith’s Translation of the Bible, A History and Commentary [1985], 73).

Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá 45:62–71. Ko e fekauʻi e Kāingalotú ke langa ʻa e Selusalema Foʻoú

Hangē ko ia ʻoku lekooti ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 45:62–71, naʻe akoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí e Kāingalotú ʻi he founga ke teuteu ai ki he ngaahi faingataʻa mo e ngaahi fakatamaki ne kikiteʻi ʻe fakalalahi kimuʻa ʻi he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa e ʻEikí. Ne fakahā pau ange ke nau tānaki fakataha pea fokotuʻu ha kolo ko Saione ʻo fakatatau ki he sīpinga ʻo e kolo ʻo ʻĪnoké (vakai, Mōsese 7:18–20). ʻE ui ia ko e “Selūsalema Foʻoú” pea ʻe hoko ia “ko ha fonua ʻo e melino, ko ha kolo hūfanga, ko ha potu malu” (T&F 45:66). ʻOku faʻa ngāue ʻaki e foʻi lea Saioné ke ʻuhinga ki ha ngaahi meʻa kehekehe. ʻOku ʻuhinga e foʻi leá ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ki he kakai ʻo Saioné pea ʻokú ne fakamatalaʻi kinautolu “ko e loto-maʻá” (T&F 97:21). ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e Saioné ʻi ha feituʻu kehe ki he Siasí fakakātoa mo hono ngaahi siteiki ʻi he funga māmaní (vakai, T&F 82:14). ʻOku toe lava ke ʻuhinga ʻa e foʻi lea Saioné ki ha ngaahi feituʻu fakasiokālafi pau. ʻI he fakahā ko ʻení, naʻe ʻuhinga ʻa e Saioné ki ha kolo fakamāmani ʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he Kāingalotú pea nau tānaki fakataha ki ai.

Naʻe fai ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá (1805–1844) ʻa e fakamatala ko ʻení fekauʻaki mo Saione ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní ʻo pehē:

“ʻOku hoko hono langa ʻo Saioné ko ha ngāue ʻoku mahuʻingaʻia ai ʻa e kakai ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē; ko ha taumuʻa kuo fakamatalaʻi ʻe he kau palōfitá, kau taulaʻeikí mo e haʻa tuʻí ʻi ha fiefia makehe; naʻa nau sioloto mai ʻi he fiefia ki he ʻaho ʻoku tau moʻui aí; pea ʻi hono fakalotomāfanaʻi ʻe he nofo ʻamanaki mo e fiefia fakalangí, ne nau hiva mo hiki ai ʻa e ngaahi kikite ki hotau kuongá; ka ne nau pekia ʻo ʻikai mamata ki ai; ko e kakai ʻofeina kitautolu naʻe fili ʻe he ʻOtuá ke tau fakahoko ʻa e nāunauʻia ʻo e Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní; ʻoku tuku kiate kitautolu ke tau mamata, kau pea mo tokoni ʻi hono tekaʻi atu ʻa e nāunau ʻo e Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní.

“Ka ai ha potu ʻoku fakataha ai ʻa e Kāingalotú ko Saione ia; ʻa ia ʻe langa ai ʻe he tangata māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē ha potu ʻoku malú maʻa ʻene fānaú.

“ʻE ʻi ai ha Siteiki [ʻo Saione] ʻi ha ngaahi feituʻu kehekehe ki hono tānaki ʻo e Kāingalotú. … ʻE tāpuekina ai hoʻomou fānaú pea ʻe lava ke tāpuekina mo kimoutolu ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo homou ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. ʻOku ʻi he kupenga ʻo e Ongoongoleleí ʻa e faʻahinga ika kotoa pē.

“… ʻOku totonu ke hoko hono langa hake ʻo Saioné ko ʻetau kaveinga maʻongoʻonga tahá ia. … ʻE vavé ni ha hoko mai ha kuonga he ʻikai toe maʻu ai ʻe ha taha ha melino ka ʻi Saione pē mo hono ngaahi siteikí” (Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí: Siosefa Sāmita [2007], 213–14).

Naʻe taki ʻe Palesiteni Pilikihami ʻIongi (1801–1877) e tokanga ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he mahuʻinga hono fokotuʻu ha Saione ʻi he ʻaho kimui ní ʻo pehē:

“ʻOku totonu ko e taumuʻa ia ʻo ʻetau moʻuí ke langa hake ʻa e Saione ʻo hotau ʻOtuá, ke tānaki ʻa e Fale ʻo ʻIsilelí, … tānaki ʻa e ngaahi koloa mahuʻinga ʻo e ʻiló pea mo e potó ʻi hotau ngaahi ʻatamaí, fakamaʻa ʻa hotau ngaahi lotó pea teuteuʻi ha kakai ke fakafetaulaki ki he ʻEikí ʻi he taimi te ne hāʻele mai aí. …

“ʻOku ʻikai mo haʻatau toe ngāue ke fakahoko heni ka ko hono langa hake mo fokotuʻu ʻa e Saione ʻo e ʻOtuá. Kuo pau ke fakahoko ia ʻo fakatatau ki he finangalo pea mo e fono ʻa e ʻOtuá [vakai, T&F 105:5], pea fakatatau ki he sīpinga mo e founga naʻe langa ʻaki mo fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻaki ʻe ʻĪnoke ʻa e Saione ʻi muʻá ʻa ia naʻe ʻave ki he langí. … Kuo pau ke tau teuteuʻi kitautolu, … ʻaki ʻa ʻetau faitotonú, ke tau fakafetaulaki ki Saione mei ʻolungá ʻi he taimi ʻe toe foki hifo ai ki he māmaní, pea ke tau matuʻuaki ʻa e ngingila mo e nāunauʻia ʻo ʻene hāʻele maí (Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí: Pilikihami ʻIongi [1997], 131–33).
