Ko e Foakí mo hono Maʻu Maí

ʻI hoʻo ʻiloʻi ko ʻeni e ngaahi fiemaʻu vivili ho laumālié, te ke feau fēfē kinautolu?

Kamata ʻaki hano fokotuʻu ha ngaahi taumuʻa ke ʻausia e meʻa ʻokú ke fiemaʻú. Ko hono fokotuʻu ha ngaahi taumuʻá ko ha founga lelei ia ke lavaʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa foʻou, pea ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi koe ʻe he polokalama ʻa e Fānaú mo e Toʻu Tupú ke ke kamata.

Pea ko e moʻoni, ʻoku finangalo e Tamai Hēvaní ke tokoniʻi koe ke feau hoʻo ngaahi fiemaʻu vivili fakalaumālié pea fakatupulaki hoʻo tui kiate Iá. Kapau te ke lotu kiate Ia, te Ne lava ʻo tokoniʻi koe ke ʻiloʻi e meʻa ʻokú ke fiemaʻu vivilí mo e ngaahi taumuʻa te ke lava ʻo fokotuʻú.

ʻOua te ke tali ki ha taha kehe ke ne mateʻi atu e meʻa ʻoku ʻi hoʻo lisi fakaʻamu ki hoʻo ngaahi fiemaʻu vivili fakalaumālié—fokotuʻu ha ngaahi taumuʻa pea foaki e ngaahi meʻaʻofa ko iá kiate koe pē! ʻOua foki naʻá ke momou ke kole ha tokoni ke ke aʻusia ai hoʻo ngaahi taumuʻá. Pea koeʻuhí ko e faʻahitaʻu ʻeni ʻo e foakí, fakasio ha ngaahi founga te ke lava ai ʻo tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé ke feau mo ʻenau ngaahi fiemaʻu vivili fakalaumālié.

ʻOua naʻa ngalo ʻa e kau Lita mo e Semi ʻi he māmaní. Mahalo he ʻikai ke teitei ʻilo ʻe he kakai ia ʻoku mou feohí ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke nau maʻú—ʻa e meʻa ʻoku nau fiemaʻu vivili ke maʻu e fiefiá mo maʻu ʻenau taumuʻá—kae ʻoua kuó ke vahevahe e pōpoaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí mo kinautolu. Ko e meʻaʻofa lelei taha ia ʻe lava ke maʻu ʻe ha taha ʻi he Kilisimasí!
