3 Nīfai 18:1–14
Naʻe tāpuakiʻi mo tufotufa ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e sākalamēnití ki he kau Nīfaí
Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau e fakamatala ko ʻeni ʻa ʻEletā Sēleti N. Lanitī ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú. (Talaange ki he fānau akó ko hono puʻaki ʻo e hingoa Czenkusch ko e “ZEN-kush.”) Fakalotolahiʻi e kalasí ke nau fakakaukauloto ki he tuʻunga ne mei ʻi ai kapau ko e tokotaha kaka moʻunga ia ne talanoa ki ai ʻa ʻEletā Lanitī.
“ʻI he kuohilí naʻe ʻi ai ha fakamatala mālie kau ki he kaka moʻungá ʻi ha nusipepa fakafaitoʻo. …
“Ko e fakamatalá ʻoku fekauʻaki ia mo ha tangata ko hono hingoá ko Senikesi ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakalele ha ʻapiako ako kaka. … Naʻe fakamatala ʻa Senikesi ki he tokotaha fai ʻinitaviú e founga malu ʻo e kaka moʻungá. Ko e founga ʻeni ʻoku maluʻi ai ʻe he kau kaká kinautolu mei haʻanau tō. ʻOku ʻalu ha tokotaha kaka ki ha tuʻunga malu ʻo fakamaʻu e maeá ki he tokotaha kaka ʻe tahá, meimei ke haʻi pē ki hono sinó. ‘ʻOkú ke ʻi ha tuʻunga malu,’ ʻo ʻuhinga, ‘Te u fakahaofi koe. Ka hoko ha meʻa, te u puke koe.’ Ko ha konga mahuʻinga ia ʻo e kaka moʻungá. Fakatokangaʻi ange ʻa e hoko atu e fakamatalá: ‘Kuo ʻomi ʻe he tuʻunga malú (belaying) ʻa e taimi lelei mo kovi taha ʻi he kaka moʻunga ʻa Senikesí. Ne tuʻo taha ha tō ʻa Senikesi mei ha lilifa, ʻo homo ha ngaahi fakamaʻu ʻe tolu pea toe fusi mo e tokotaha ne hoko ko e tuʻunga malú mei he ngutungutu ʻo e lilifá. Naʻe fakahaofi ia ʻe he tokotaha maluʻí [Toni] ʻi ha mita ʻe 10 mei he kelekelé ʻi he mafao atu hono ongo nima mālohí ʻo taʻofi ia mei haʻane tō. ʻOku pehē ʻe Senikesi, “Ne fakahaofi au ʻe Toni.” “Ko e hā te ke fai ki ha tokotaha pehē? ʻOange ha meʻaʻofa Kilisimasi ko ha maea kaka ʻosi ngāue ʻaki? ʻIkai, ʻokú ke manatuʻi ia. ʻOkú ke manatuʻi maʻu pē ia”’ [Eric G.
