Leʻo ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní
“Fefine, ʻOku Ou ʻOfa Atu”
ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke tau teitei ongoʻi mā ʻi he talangofua ki ha ueʻi fakalaumālie.
Lolotonga ha ʻinitaviu lolotonga ʻeku fua fatongia ʻi he kau palesitenisī ʻo e kōlomu kaumātuʻá, ne u fehuʻi ai ki ha mēmipa ʻi he kōlomú pe kuó ne ongoʻi mo talangofua nai ki ha ueʻi fakalaumālie. Naʻá ne fakakaukau ʻi ha kiʻi taimi peá ne vahevahe haʻane aʻusia.
ʻI ha hoʻatā ʻe taha naʻá ne fufulu peleti ai, naʻá ne maʻu ha ongo mālohi ke ʻalu ʻo tukituki ʻi he matapā ʻo ha kaungāʻapi. Naʻe ʻikai ke mahino kiate ia ʻa e ʻuhingá, ka naʻe fuʻu mālohi mo fakavavevave ʻa e ongo ko iá. Naʻá ne tuku ʻene ngāue naʻe faí, peá ne ʻalu he taimi pē ko iá.
Naʻá ne aʻu atu ki he matapā ʻo e kaungāʻapí, naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻilo ʻa e meʻa ke faí pe lea ʻakí, ka naʻá ne tukituki. Naʻe ʻikai tali mai ʻe ha taha. Naʻá ne toe tukituki pē. Naʻe ʻikai pē ke tali mai. ʻI heʻene fakakaukau ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻi he ʻapí, naʻá ne tafoki ke ʻalu ka naʻá ne toe ongoʻi pē ha ueʻi fakalaumālie ʻe taha.
Naʻá ne toe foki pē ki he matapaá peá ne lea, “Fefine, ʻoku ou ʻofa atu.” Hili iá naʻá ne ʻalu leva.
Naʻá ne pehē naʻe ngali kehe ʻa e aʻusia ko ʻení, pea naʻá ne kiʻi ongoʻi mā ai. Naʻá ku talaange kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai fakahā mai maʻu pē ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ʻuhinga ki he ngaahi ueʻi fakalaumālié, ka ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke tau teitei mā ʻi hono fai iá. Naʻe hiki ʻa e tangata ko ʻení hili pē ha taimi nounou mei he ʻaho ne ma ʻinitaviu aí.
Hili ha taʻu ʻe taha mei ai, lolotonga e houalotu fakamoʻoní, naʻe lue hake ha fefine naʻe ʻikai ke u ʻiloʻi ke fai ʻene fakamoʻoní. Naʻá ne tangi ʻi heʻene fakamatala ʻa e fuoloa taʻu ʻa ʻene mavahe mei he Siasí, pea ʻi he lolotonga e taimi ko iá naʻá ne ongoʻi mafasia lahi fau mo ongoʻi kuo siva ʻene ʻamanakí pea naʻe faingataʻa kiate ia ke kei hoko atu ʻene moʻuí.
Naʻá ne lotu ʻo pehē, “ʻE Tamai Hēvani, kapau ʻokú Ke moʻui pea kapau ʻokú Ke ʻofa moʻoni ʻiate au, talamai ia he taimí ni ke mahino kiate au!”
Taimi siʻi pē mei ai, naʻá ne fanongo ki ha tukituki ʻi he matapaá pea mo ha toe tukituki ʻe taha. ʻI he ʻikai ke ne tali atú, naʻá ne fanongo ki ha leʻo naʻe pehē mai, “Fefine, ʻoku ou ʻofa atu.”
Naʻá ne pehē naʻá ne ongoʻi naʻe lōmekina ʻaki ia ʻa e ʻofá, pea naʻá ne maʻu ai ha ivi foʻou ke ne matatali ʻa e faingataʻá ʻi heʻene moʻuí. Naʻá ne pehē ʻokú ne kei faingataʻaʻia pē, ka kuo fakalakalaka ʻene moʻuí.
Naʻe ʻikai haʻaku kaunga ki he aʻusia ko ʻení, ka kuo faitāpuekina au. Naʻá ku maʻu ha ʻilo ki he founga naʻe hoko ai ha ongo ngāue naʻe fai ʻi he tuí naʻe ʻikai haʻana feʻilongakí, ke fakahaaʻi ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe heʻetau Tamai ʻi Hēvaní ʻa kitautolu kotoa pē, pea ʻokú Ne ui kitautolu ke tau talangofua ki he ueʻi fakalaumālié ke tokoniʻi ai ʻEne fānaú. ʻOku ou houngaʻia, pea ʻoku ou mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he ʻilo ko ʻení.
