Ko ha māmani fakaʻofoʻofa ʻoku tau moʻui mo fevahevaheʻaki aí, ko ha ʻapi maʻongoʻonga ki ha kakai, lea fakafonua, anga fakafonua, mo ha hisitōlia kehekehe—ʻoku mafola ʻi ha fonua ʻe laungeau mo ha ngaahi kulupu ʻe lauafe, ʻoku lahi honau ngaahi anga fakafonuá. ʻOku lahi e ngaahi meʻa ke laukau ʻaki mo fakafiefiaʻi ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. Ka neongo ko ha ʻulungaanga ʻoku ako—ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻi he ngaahi tukufakaholo ʻoku tau tupu hake aí—ʻe lava ke hoko ia ko ha ivi lahi ʻi heʻetau moʻuí, pea ʻe toe lava pē foki, ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ke hoko ko ha meʻa fakatuta lahi.

ʻE ngali kuo fuʻu tōkakano ʻa e tukufakaholó ʻi heʻetau fakakaukaú mo e ʻulungāngá pea taʻemalava ai ke toe liliu.

Naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ha matāpule lelei ʻi he ngaahi taʻu siʻi kuohilí, ʻokú ne tokoni ke fakatātaaʻi ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni fakaemāmani lahi ko ʻeni ʻo e taʻeʻilo fakaetukufakaholó. Naʻá ku ʻuluaki feʻiloaki mo ia ʻi Singapoa ʻi he taimi ne vahe ai ke u faiako fakaʻapi ki hono fāmilí. Ko ha palōfesa ʻiloa ia ʻi he lea faka-Sanisikilití mo e faka-Tamilá, pea naʻá ne haʻu mei he fakatonga ʻo ʻInitiá. Naʻe kau ʻa hono uaifí mo ʻena ongo fohá ki he Siasí, ka naʻe ʻikai pē ke ne kau pe fanongo ki he ngaahi akonaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Naʻá ne fiefia ʻi he founga ne tupulaki ai ʻa hono uaifí mo hona ongo fohá pea poupou kakato kiate kinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi ngāue mo e ngaahi fatongia faka-Siasí.

Naʻá ku fakatumutumu (kae ʻikai ʻohovale!) ʻi he founga ne lava ai ʻe he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻo fakaʻā hono matá ki ha fakakaukau kehé.

Ko hono moʻoní, ko kitautolú ko e ngaahi tuongaʻane mo e tuofāfine, ko e fānau fakalaumālie ʻo ʻetau ongomātuʻa fakalangí. ʻOku ʻikai ha filifilimānako pe fakakaukau “kitautolu fehangahangai mo kinautolu” ʻi he maʻongoʻonga taha ʻo e ngaahi tukufakaholo kotoa pē. ʻOku tau hoko kotoa pē ko e “kitautolú.” ʻOku tau hoko kotoa pē ko e “kinautolú.” ʻOku tau tui ʻoku tau fatongia ʻaki mo haʻisia kiate kitautolu, ki he niʻihi kehé, ko e Siasí, pea mo hotau māmaní. Ko e fatongiá mo e haʻisiá ko ha ongo tefitoʻi meʻa mahuʻinga ia ʻi heʻetau tupulakí.

Ko ha tukufakaholo ia ʻo e tui mo e talangofua. Ko e tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí ko e ʻuluaki tefitoʻi moʻoni ia ʻo hotau tukufakaholó, pea ko e talangofua ki Heʻene ngaahi akonakí mo e ngaahi fekaú ʻa e olá. ʻOku fakatupunga mei heni ʻa e mapuleʻi kitá.

ʻOku poupouʻi ʻe he tukufakaholo ko ʻení ʻa e toputapu ʻo e fāmilí. Ko e fāmilí ko e tefitoʻi ʻiuniti ia ʻo ʻitānití. ʻOku mahuʻinga ha faʻahinga feilaulau pē ki hono fakahaohaoaʻi ʻo e fāmilí koeʻuhí, ʻi hono akoʻí, “he ʻikai lava ʻe ha ngāue lavameʻa ke fetongi ha fehālaaki ʻi he ʻapí.” ² Ko ʻapi ʻa e feituʻu ʻoku fakahoko ai ʻetau ngāue lelei tahá pea mo maʻu ai ʻetau fiefia lahi tahá.

ʻI he tukufakaholo ʻo Kalaisí, ʻoku ʻi ai ha ʻilo— mo ha tokanga mo e fakahinohino ki he taʻengatá. ʻOku tokanga ʻa e tukufakaholo ko ʻení ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tolonga hono mahuʻingá! ʻOku maʻu ia mei he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa ia ʻoku taʻengata pea fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻuhingá, taumuʻá pea mo e feituʻu ʻoku tau ʻi aí. (ʻOku fakakau atu, kae ʻikai fakamavahevahe.) Koeʻuhí ʻoku tupu ʻa e tukufakaholo ko ʻení mei hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e ngaahi akonaki ʻa hotau Fakamoʻuí, ʻoku tokoni ia ke ʻomi ha lolo faitoʻo ʻoku fie maʻu vivili ʻe hotau māmaní.
