Ne toki fāʻeleʻi mai ʻa Lupi ki homau fāmilí. ʻI heʻeku vakai ki hono fofonga fakaʻofoʻofá, ne u ofo ʻi he ʻilo naʻá ne nofo ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní kimuʻa peá ne toki haʻu ki he māmaní. Kuó ne tali lelei ʻEne palani lahi ʻo e fiefiá peá ne fili ke muimui kiate Ia mo hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí.1 Koeʻuhí ko ʻene fili ko iá, naʻe fakaʻatā ai ke haʻu ki he māmaní ʻo aʻusia ʻa e moʻui matelié mo fakalakalaka atu ki he moʻui taʻengatá. ʻI he fakataha e laumālie mo hono sinó ne hū mai ai ʻa Lupi ki ha kuonga ʻo e akó ʻa ia ʻe lava ai ke ne fakamoʻoniʻi, fili ke muimui kia Kalaisi pea mo teuteu ke taau mo e moʻui taʻengatá.
Naʻe haʻu haohaoa ʻa Lupi ki māmani ka ko e konga ʻo e palaní te ne fehangahangai mo e faingataʻá mo e ʻahiʻahí pea te ne fai ha ngaahi fehālaaki. Ka ʻoku fakafou ʻi he Fakalelei hotau Fakamoʻuí ʻa hono fakamolemoleʻi ʻo Lupí, ʻo ne maʻu e kakato ʻo e fiefiá mo toe maʻa foki mo—mateuteu ke moʻui ʻo taʻengata ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní.
Hili ha ngaahi houa siʻi mei hono fāʻeleʻí, ne u maʻu ha faingamālie ke fuofua e taʻahine pelepelengesí ni. Ne u pehē ange ki heʻene faʻeé, “Kuo pau ke tau akoʻi ʻa Lupi ke hoko ko ha fefine angamaʻa, maʻa mo mahuʻinga ʻo hangē ko hono hingoá.”2
Naʻe tali mai ʻe heʻene faʻeé, “ʻOku ou kamata ia he ʻahó ni.”

Naʻe pehē ʻe he Palōfita ko Pilikihami ʻIongí, “ʻOua ʻaupito naʻa tau fai ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke tau loto ke fai ʻe heʻetau fānaú. ʻOku totonu ke tau tā ʻa e sīpinga ʻoku tau loto ke nau faʻifaʻitakiʻí.”4 ʻE lava ke tau takitaha kamata he ʻahó ni ʻo tā e sīpinga lelei ko iá.

Hoko ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻo e kakai tuí ʻi he tui. Fakamālohia hoʻo tuí mo hoʻo fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisí, mo teuteu ke fakamoʻoni ʻi he lea mo e tā sīpinga ki hoʻo fānaú.
Tuku muʻa ke u talanoa ʻo kau ki ha faʻē lelei naʻe hoko ʻene moʻuí ko ha sīpinga ʻo e tuí. ʻI he kei talavou e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, naʻá ne mamata mo ako fekauʻaki mo e tui ki he ʻOtuá mei heʻene faʻē ko Lusi Meki Sāmitá. Naʻe fekumi ʻa Lusi ki ha ngaahi tali ʻaki ʻene fakatotolo ʻi he folofolá6 pea fai foki ʻe Siosefa e meʻa tatau ʻo ne tafoki ki he Tohi Tapú ke maʻu mei ai ha tataki ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻeé.7
Ne solova foki ʻe Lusi ha ngaahi palopalema fakafāmilí ʻaki ʻene fekumi fakatāutaha ki he tokoni ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he lotu. ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha, lolotonga ha tō-kehekehe ʻi he fāmili ʻo Lusí ʻi he kaveinga ko e lotú, naʻá ne, “ʻalu ki ha ʻuluʻakau ofi atu pē ʻo lotu ai ki he ʻEikí.”8
Ne lotu foki ʻa Lusi ʻi he tui lahi ʻi heʻene fehangahangai mo ha meʻa fakaemoʻui-lelei fakatāutaha, ʻi he mei tuʻusi e vaʻe ʻo Siosefá ʻi he langa huí pea mei mate mo e tuofefine ʻo Siosefa ko Sōfoloniá mei he mofi taifotí. Ne tohi ʻe Lusi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e puke ʻo Sōfoloniá, “Ne u sio atu ki heʻeku tamá. … Peá u pikinima mo hoku husepānití ʻo tūʻulutui he veʻe mohengá ʻo ʻohake homa loto mamahí mo ʻema tautapá ki hono telingá.”9 Naʻe moʻui ʻa Sōfolonia. ʻOku ou tui ne faʻa mamata e fānau ʻa Lusí ki heʻene lotu ʻi he tuí, peá mo e tali mai e ngaahi lotu ko iá.
Naʻe lotu ʻa Lusi ʻi he tui ke maʻu ha tataki pea ʻalu foki ʻa Siosefa ki ha vaoʻakau ʻo lotu ai ʻi he tui, ʻo fekumi ke maʻu ha tali mei he ʻEikí, ʻo hangē ko ʻene faʻeé.
Hangē ko Lusí, kuo pau ke tau fakahaaʻi ki heʻetau fānaú mo e toʻu tupú ʻa e founga ke fakamālohia ai ʻenau tui mo e fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻaki ʻetau fakamālohia haʻatautolú, ʻo fakafou he ako folofolá mo e lotú, ʻo fakatāutaha pea fakataha mo kinautolu.

Heili, “ʻOku tau akoʻi ange ko e momeniti ʻe manga hake ai mei he vaí, ko ʻenau manga atu ia mei he māmaní ki he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.
