Teuteu leva ke ke taau ke maʻu e ngaahi tāpuaki kotoa ʻoku fakatatali atu ʻi he temipale māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻEikí.
ʻOku ʻi ai e taimi ʻoku ʻikai faʻa mafakamatalaʻi ai e ongo ʻoku tau maʻú. ʻOku ou lotua ʻe fakamoʻoniʻi atu ʻe he Laumālié ki homou lotó ʻa ho tupuʻanga fakalangí mo ho fatongia taʻengatá. Ko e ʻamanaki leleiʻanga kimoutolu ʻo ʻIsilelí. Ko e ngaahi ʻofefine fili mo fakaʻeiʻeiki kimoutolu ʻo ʻetau Tamai Hēvani ʻofá.
Ne u maʻu ha faingamālie he māhina kuo ʻosí ke u ʻalu ki ha mali temipale ʻa ha finemui ne u ʻiloʻi talu hono fāʻeleʻi. ʻI heʻeku tangutu he loki silá ʻo vakai ki he fetapaki e maama ʻo e temipalé, ne u manatu ai ki he ʻaho ne u ʻuluaki fuofua ai iá.

ʻI he tūʻulutui e ongo meʻa malí ʻi he ʻōlita toputapú, ne na maʻu ha ngaahi talaʻofa ʻoku mahulu atu ia ʻi he mahino fakamatelié, ʻa ia te ne faitāpuekina, fakamālohiʻi mo tokoniʻi kinaua ʻi heʻena fononga he matelié.

Naʻá ne pehē ange, “Ko kinautolu kotoa kuo muʻomuʻa ʻiate aú.” Ne na vakai fakatouʻosi leva ki he sioʻata he tafaʻaki holisi ʻe tahá pea lea loʻimataʻia mai e taʻahine malí, “ʻOku ou mamata kiate kinautolu ʻe muiaki maí.” Naʻá ne mamata ki hono fāmili he kahaʻú—ki hono hakó. ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi naʻe mahino kiate ia ʻa hono mahuʻinga ke tui ki he moʻui angamaʻá mo e angamāʻoniʻoní. ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa fakaʻofoʻofa ange ke te vakai ki aí, ka ko ha ongo meʻa mali, mateuteu lelei ʻokú na tūʻulutui fakataha he ʻōlita ʻo e temipalé
ʻE teuteuʻi kimoutolu ki he temipalé lolotonga hoʻomou kei ʻi he Kau Finemuí. Te mou maʻu ai ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ‘oku totonu ke mou maʻu ʻi hoʻomou hoko ko ha ʻofefine pelepelengesi ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku ʻofeina kimoutolu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní pea ʻokú Ne finangalo ke mou fiefia. Ko e founga ke fakahoko ʻení ko e “ʻaʻeva ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo e angamaʻá” 1 pea “pīkitai ki he ngaahi fuakava ‘a ia [kuó ke] faí.”2
ʻE kau finemui, ʻi ha māmani ʻoku fakautuutu ai e angaʻulí, fakaoleoleʻi ai e koví, ngaohikovia ʻo e houʻeiki fafiné pea mo mioʻi ai e ngaahi fatongiá, kuo pau ke mou tuʻu hake ʻo maluʻi kimoutolu, homou fāmilí pea mo kimoutolu kotoa ʻoku mou feohí. Kuo pau ke mou maluʻi ʻa e angamaʻá.
Ko e hā ʻa e angamaʻa pea ko e hā ʻa e tokotaha maluʻi?“Ko e angamaʻá ko ha sīpinga ia ʻo e fakakaukaú mo e ʻulungāangá ʻoku fakatefito ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungāanga maʻa mo māʻolungá. ʻOku kau ai e moʻui maʻá mo e haohaoá. 3 Pea ko e hā ʻa e tokotaha maluí? Ko e tokotaha maluí, ko ha taha ʻokú ne maluʻi, pāletuʻa mo ʻaofi ha meʻa. 4Ko ia, ʻi hoʻomou hoko ko e tokotaha maluʻi ʻo e angamaʻá, te mou maluʻi ai ʻa e moʻui maʻá he ʻoku toputapu e mālohi ke fakatupu ʻa e moʻui matelié pea ko ha mālohi fungani ia kuo pau ke maluʻi kae ʻoua kuó ke mali. ʻOku fie maʻu e angamaʻá ki he takaua mo e tataki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. Te mou fie maʻu ʻa e tataki ko iá kae lava ke mou folaua lelei e māmani ʻoku mou nofo aí. ʻOku fie maʻu e angamaʻá ki he hū ki he temipalé. Pea ʻoku fie maʻu ia ka te taau ai ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Fakamoʻuí. ʻOku mou teuteu he taimí ni ki he taimi ko iá. ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻa e Fakalakalaka Fakatāutahá mo e ngaahi tuʻunga moʻui ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Ki Hono Fakamālohia ʻo e Toʻu Tupú . ʻE hanga ʻe hono moʻuiʻaki e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻi he tohí ʻo fakamālohia mo tokoniʻi koe ke ke “[taau mo e puleʻangá].”5
Ne fili ha kau finemui mei ʻAlapaini ʻi ʻIutā he faʻahitaʻu māfaná, ke nau “taau mo e puleʻangá.” Ne nau fili ke fakatefito ʻenau tokangá ʻi he temipalé ʻaki ʻenau lue mei he Temipale Teleipa ʻIutaá ki he Temipale Sōlekí, ʻa ia ne maile ʻe 22, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fai ʻe ha taha ʻo e kau paioniá ko Sione Lou Moila.

Ne aʻu ki ha taimi ne ʻakahi ai ʻe haʻane pulu ʻa hono vaʻé. Naʻe pau ke tuʻusi hono vaʻé he naʻe ʻikai ke moʻui. Ka naʻe ʻikai taʻofi ai ia mei heʻene tukupā ki he palōfitá ke ne ngāue ʻi he temipalé.

Naʻe fili e kau finemui ʻi he Uooti Sita Hila Onó, ke nau lue lalo he mamaʻo tatau pē maʻá ha taha ʻo ʻenau ngaahi kuí pea mo ha taha kuó ne ueʻi fakalaumālie kinautolu ke nau kei moʻui taau pē ke hū he temipalé.

ʻI he hokohoko atu e lue lalo ʻa e kau finemuí ni, naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne tohoakiʻi ʻenau tokangá ka naʻa nau tokanga taha pē ki heʻenau taumuʻá. Naʻe ongoʻi ʻe ha niʻihi kuo kamata ke fepulopulasi honau vaʻé pea ongoʻi ʻe ha niʻihi kuo kamata ke mamahi honau tuí, ka naʻa nau kei lue pē. Ko kimoutolú, ʻoku lahi ha ngaahi tohoaki, mamahi pe tūkiaʻanga ʻi homou hala ki he temipalé, ka ʻoku mou kei lototoʻa mo ʻalu pē. Naʻe mapeʻi e hala ne fononga ai e kau finemuí ni ʻe heʻenau kau takí, ʻa ia kuo nau ʻaʻeva mo taki e halá pea mo fakapapauʻi e founga malu mo hangatonu taha ke fou aí. ʻOku fakaʻilongaʻi homou halá pea ʻe lava ke ke ʻiloʻi pau naʻe ʻikai ngata pē he ʻaʻeva ʻa e Fakamoʻuí he halá, ka te Ne toe ʻaʻeva foki ai mo koe — ʻi he foʻi laka kotoa pē.
Naʻe ʻi he hala ko ʻeni ki he temipalé ha ngaahi tamai, faʻē, kau mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí mo ha kau taki lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ke nau maluʻi kimoutolu.

Te nau fai atu ha ui fakatokanga mo tataki homou halá pea kapau te ke lavea pe mamahiʻia pe hē mei he halá, te nau tokoniʻi koe.
Ne ongo kiate au he fakaʻosiʻosi ʻenau fonongá, ʻi he omi honau ngaahi tuongaʻané mo ha kau talavou mo e kaungāmeʻá ke poupouʻi e kau finemui ko ʻení.

Ko e lue lalo ko ia ki he temipalé, ko ha fakatātā ia ʻo e moʻuí. Ne tuʻu e ngaahi mātuʻá mo e kau taki lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ke maluʻi kinautolu ʻi honau halá.

Naʻe akonaki ʻa Molomona ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko e angamaʻá mo e anga māʻoniʻoní ʻa e“meʻa mahuʻinga mo lelei taha ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.”7
