Naʻe toe papitaiso au ʻi he hili siʻi pē ha taʻu ʻe taha hono tuʻusi au mei he Siasí. He toki meʻa fakanonga moʻoni ʻete tuʻu hake mei he vaí mo e ʻiloʻilo pau ko Sīsū hoku taukapó, pea ko hoku hoa ngāué ia. Kuó Ne huhuʻi ʻeku ngaahi angahalá, pea na‘á ku toe ʻi ha vā fakafuakava mo Ia. Ne u houngaʻia lahi moʻoni!

Na‘á ku toe maʻu e me‘afoaki ʻo e Laumālie Mā‘oniʻoní. Ne u toe ongo‘i ha mālohi ongo‘ingofua: kuo foki ʻaupito mai hoku kaumeʻa mamaé! Naʻá ku fie feinga mālohi ke ʻoua naʻá ku toe fakaʻitaʻi Ia ke ʻoua naʻá Ne toe liʻaki au.

Naʻá ku tāpuni e ʻakauni ne ʻi ai ʻeku vahehongofulú, tohiʻi ha foʻi sieke, pea foaki fiefia ia ki heʻeku pīsopé.

Hili ha ta‘u ʻe nima mei ai na‘e lava ke u toe fakafoki mai hoku ngaahi tāpuaki fakatemipalé. Ne u ongoʻi mātuʻaki fiefia mo houngaʻia. Naʻe toe lōmekina au ʻi he ʻofa mo e malu ʻi he mālohi ʻo e ngaahi fuakava naʻá ku fakahoko ʻi he temipalé.

Kuo silaʻi au he taimí ni ki ha tangata ‘okú ne ʻofa ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ou ʻofa ʻiate ia, pea ʻokú ma ngāue fakataha ke hoko ʻema silá ko ha fuakava ʻa ia ʻe tolonga ki ʻitāniti.

‘I he taʻu ‘e 20 talu mei aí, kuó u ongoʻi he taimi ‘e niʻihi ha ongo‘i halaia moʻoni pea ʻokú ne fakatupu ha loto-mamahi lahi mo e loto-hohaʻa moʻoni ʻiate au. Kuó u fifili pe naʻe feʻunga nai ʻeku fakatomalá pe kuo fakamolemoleʻi moʻoni nai au. ʻI he ngaahi ta‘u siʻi kuohilí, ne tatau ʻeku ongó mo e ngaahi ongo naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻAlamā ko e Siʻí, ʻa ia ʻoku hā ʻi he ‘Alamā 36:12–13:

“Ka naʻá ku mamahiʻia ʻi he fakamamahi taʻengata, he naʻe aʻusia ʻe hoku laumālié ʻa e mamahi taupotu tahá peá u mamahi ʻi heʻeku ngaahi angahala kotoa pē.

“ʻIo, naʻá ku manatuʻi ʻeku ngaahi angahalá mo ʻeku ngaahi hia kotoa pē, ʻa ia naʻe fakamamahiʻi ai au ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi mamahi ʻo helí; ʻio, naʻe mahino kiate au kuó u angatuʻu ki hoku ʻOtuá, pea kuo ʻikai te u tauhi ʻene ngaahi fekau māʻoniʻoní.”

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha ne u tū‘ulutui ʻo lotu peá u fehuʻi ange, “Tamai, kuo feʻunga nai e meʻa kuó u faí? Te u fai ʻa e me‘a kotoa pē ʻoku fie ma‘u ke u faí, ke toʻo ʻeni meiate au.” Hili iá na‘á ku tatali mo fakaongo ʻaki hoku lotó.

Na‘e ongo mahino mai ʻa e talí: “Kuo fe‘unga e meʻa kuó ke faí.” Naʻá ku ongoʻi fiefia moʻoni. Ne ʻikai ke u kei lava ʻo mapukepuke ʻeku fiefiá, ne u tangi koeʻuhí ko e fiefia hoku lotó. ʻI he ʻaho kotoa ko iá ne u ongoʻi vēkeveke moʻoni ʻi he fiefiá. Naʻe mavahe atu ʻa e ongoʻi maá mo e halaiá.

Ne u toe fakakaukauloto ki he aʻusia ʻa ʻAlamā ko e Siʻí:

“Naʻe ʻikai te u toe manatuʻi ʻa hoku ngaahi mamahí; ʻio, naʻe ʻikai ke toe tauteaʻi hoku lotó ʻi heʻeku manatu ki heʻeku ngaahi angahalá.

“Pea ʻoiauē, ko e fiefia, mo e maama fakaofo kuó u vakai ki aí; ʻio, naʻe fonu hoku laumālié ʻi he fuʻu fiefia naʻe tatau hono lahí mo hoku mamahí!” (ʻAlamā 36:19–20).

Naʻe fakamamahi mo pelepelengesi ‘eku fononga ke toe maʻu hoku memipasipi ‘i he Siasí mo toe fakahoko ʻeku fuakava mo e Fakamo‘uí. Na‘á ku ikunaʻi e faingata‘a ko ʻení ʻi heʻeku ʻiloʻi ʻoku mahuʻinga taha pē ʻa e Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. Kuo mei lava e taʻu ʻe 20 ʻeku feinga ke u ikunaʻi e ongoʻi maá mo e halaia ʻi hono tuʻusi au mei he Siasí pea mo maʻu ha loto-toʻa ke vahevahe ki he niʻihi kehé ʻeku ngaahi aʻusiá. Fakatauange pē ʻe hoko ʻeku aʻusiá ko ha meʻa ia ke ne fakalotolahiʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau loto toʻa ke tafoki mo tokoniʻi e niʻihi ʻoku fie liliú. Te u lava ‘o fakamoʻoni taʻe toe veiveiua ʻoku mo‘oni ʻa e Fakalelei ‘a Kalaisí. ‘E lava ʻe Hono mālohí ‘o liliu ho‘o moʻuí ʻo ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he liliu ke lelei angé kae liliu foki ki he lelei tahá.

‘Oku ou ʻofa moʻoni ʻi hoku mēmipasipi ʻi he Siasí. Ko ha me‘afoaki mahuʻinga mo ha tāpuaki māʻongoʻonga ia ki heʻeku mo‘uí. ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito te u toe fie mavahe mei ai.
