ʻOku ou fakaafeʻi kimoutolu ke mou fakakaukau ki he ngaahi palōmesi mo e ngaahi fuakava ʻoku mou fai mo e ʻEikí, pea mo e niʻihi kehé, ʻi he angatonuu lahi, ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻoku hoko homou leá ko homou palōmesi.

ʻOku ou fakakaukau lahi ki he mahuʻinga ʻo hono fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi palōmesí mo e ngaahi fuakavá.

ʻOku hoko hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí ko hotau Faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ʻi hono fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi palōmesí mo e ngaahi fuakavá. Naʻá Ne hāʻele mai ki māmani ʻo palōmesi ke fai e finangalo ʻo e Tamaí. Naʻá Ne akoʻi e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí ʻi he lea mo e ngāue. Naʻá Ne fakalelei maʻa ʻetau ngaahi angahalá ke tau toe lava ʻo moʻui. Kuó Ne tauhi pau ʻa e kotoa ʻo ʻEne ngaahi talaʻofá.
ʻE lava nai ke fai ha lea tatau kiate kitautolu? Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki kapau te tau kiʻi kākā, kiʻi tō he ʻahiʻahí, pe ʻikai tauhi pau ʻetau ngaahi tukupaá?

ʻI hono manatua maʻu pē ʻe he ʻEikí hotau ngaahi vaivai ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié, naʻá Ne talaʻofa ai, “Ke mou fiefia, pea ʻoua ʻe manavahē, he ko au ko e ʻEikí ʻoku ou ʻiate kimoutolu, pea te u tuʻu ʻi homou tafaʻakí.”1 Kuó u ongoʻi ʻEne ʻi aí ʻi he taimi kuó u fie maʻu ai ha fakapapau, fakanongá, fakafiemālié, pe ha fakakaukau fakalaumālie pe ivi lahi ange pea kuó u ongoʻi loto-fakatōkilalo moʻoni mo houngaʻia ʻi Heʻene takaua fakalangí.
Kuo folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, “ʻE hoko ʻo pehē ko e tangata kotoa pē ʻe liʻaki ʻene ngaahi angahalá pea haʻu kiate au, ʻo ui ki hoku hingoá, pea talangofua ki hoku leʻó, mo tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekaú, te ne mamata ki hoku matá pea ʻiloʻi ʻoku ou ʻi ai.”2 Mahalo ko e tumutumu ia ʻo ʻEne talaʻofá.
Naʻá ku ako ʻi heʻeku kei siʻí ki he mahuʻinga ko ia hono tauhi pau ʻeku leá. Ko ha sīpinga pehē ʻe taha ʻa e taimi ne u tuʻu ai ʻo salute ke lau maʻuloto e Fakapapau ʻo e Sikautí. ʻE hoko maʻu pē hotau vā fetuʻutaki mo e Sikauti Tamaiki Tangata ʻo ʻAmeliká, ʻa ia kuo fakangata he taimí ni, ko ha tukufakaholo mahuʻinga kiate au pea mo e Siasi ko ʻení.

Ko ha polokalama fakamāmanilahi ia ʻoku nofo-taha ʻi hotau ʻEiki mo e Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOku faaitaha ʻa e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻi he fakahinohino foʻoú ni, pea ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni fakatāutaha kuo tataki kimautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē. ʻOku ou fiefia ke aʻusia ʻe he fānau mo e toʻu tupu ʻo e Siasi ʻa e tokanga taha ko ʻeni kiate kinautolu ʻi ʻapi pea ʻi he lotú fakatouʻosi—ʻo fakafou ʻi hono ako e ongoongoleleí, ngāue tokoní mo e ngaahi ʻekitivitií, pea mo e fakalakalaka fakatāutahá.
ʻOku lave e kaveinga ʻa e toʻu tupú ki he taʻu 2020 ka hoko maí ki he palōmesi ʻiloa ko ia ʻa Nīfai ke ne “ʻalu ʻo fai iá.” Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “Peʻa naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ko au, Nīfai, naʻá ku pehē ange ki heʻeku tamaí: Te u ʻalu ʻo fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kuo fekau ʻe he ʻEikí, he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai tuku mai ʻe he ʻEikí ha fekau ki he fānau ʻa e tangatá kae ʻikai te ne teuteu ha hala maʻanautolu ke nau lava ai ʻo fai ʻa e meʻa kuó ne fekau kiate kinautolú.”3 Neongo ne lea ʻaki ia he ngaahi taʻu lahi he kuohilí, ka ʻoku tau tauhi pau ʻe kitautolu ʻi he Siasí ʻi he kuongá ni ki he palōmesi ko iá.
ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e “ʻalu ʻo fai iá” ke mavahe mei he ngaahi founga ʻa e māmaní, ʻo maʻu pea ngāueʻi e fakahā fakatāutahá, moʻui angatonu ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei mo e tui ki he kahaʻú, fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi fuakava ke muimui kia Sīsū Kalaisí, pea fakalahi ai ʻetau ʻofa kiate Ia, ko e Fakamoʻui ʻo e māmaní.
Ko e fuakavá ko ha palōmesi ʻoku tafaʻaki ua ʻoku tau fakahoko pea mo e ʻEikí. ʻI heʻetau hoko ko e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí, ʻoku tau fuakava ai ʻi he papitaisó ke toʻo kiate kitautolu ʻa e huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ke moʻui ʻo hangē ko Iá.

Ne ofo ʻaupito ʻa e tuʻí peá ne fanongo ai ki he pōpoaki ʻa ʻĀmoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí pea ului.
Naʻe palōmesi ʻa Lute ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá, ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fonó, “Ko e potu ʻokú ke ʻalu ki aí, te ta ō ai.”12 Naʻá ne tauhi totonu ki heʻene leá.
