Haʻu, ʻo Muimui ʻIate Au
Ko e Mata Meʻa-Hā-Maí
Hili hono liliu ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Siosefa ke ne toe vakaiʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú.
ʻI hono lau ʻe Siosefa ʻa e Tohi Tapú, naʻe ueʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí ke fakahoko ha ngaahi liliu ʻe niʻihi.
Naʻe kole ʻa Siosefa ki ha kau tangata tohi ke nau tokoni ange kiate ia.
Naʻe toloi ʻa e ngāué ʻi he taimi naʻe fekauʻi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Kāingalotú ke nau hiki ki ʻOhaioó.
Hili e hiki ki ʻOhaioó, naʻe kamata ʻe Siosefa ʻene toe vakaiʻi ʻa e Tohi Tapú, pea tokoni ange ʻa Sitenei Likitoni ko ha tangata tohi.
“ʻOku fie maʻu ke hoko atu ʻetau ngāue ki he Tohi Tapú.”
ʻI he ʻaho 16 ʻo Fēpueli, 1832, naʻe fakaleleiʻi ai ʻe Siosefa mo Sitenei ʻa e tohi ʻa Sioné ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú.
“… ʻa kinautolu kuo faileleí, ʻi he toetuʻu ʻa e kau angatonú; mo kinautolu naʻe faikoví, ʻi he toetuʻu ʻo e kau taʻe-angatonú.”
“ʻOku ʻuhinga nai ʻeni ki he hā?”
Naʻe hā mai ha vīsone fakaofo kiate kinaua.
Naʻá na mamata kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo e Tamai Hēvaní.
Naʻá na ʻiloʻi foki ai ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi puleʻanga ʻe tolu ʻi he langí.
Naʻe fakahā kiate kinaua, ko kinautolu te nau maʻu ʻa e puleʻanga fakasilesitialé, ʻe ʻuluaki toetuʻú.
“Ko kinautolu ʻeni … ʻa ia kuo fakahaohaoaʻi ʻia Sīsū.”
ʻI he ʻosi ʻa e mata meʻa-hā-maí, naʻá na ofo. Naʻe helaʻia ʻa Sitenei.
“ʻOku ʻikai anga ʻa Sitenei ki heni hangē ko aú.”
