Kapau te tau tafoki ki he ʻEikí, falala kiate Ia, mo tauhi kiate Ia, te Ne fakahaofi kitautolu.

ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he ʻEikí ha kau palōfita, kau tangata kikite, mo ha kau tangata maʻu fakahā ke ʻaonga ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.

• Naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻĀmoni ha faingamālie ke fakamatalaʻi kia Limihai ʻa e fatongia ʻo e tangata kikité pea mo fakamoʻoni ki he mahuʻinga ʻo e kau palōfitá, kau tangata kikité, mo e kau tangata maʻu fakahaá. Mahalo naʻa fie maʻu ke ke fakamahinoʻi ʻoku hikinimaʻi ʻi hotau kuongá, ʻa e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ko e kau palōfita, kau tangata kikite, mo e kau tangata maʻu fakahā.

Te tau lava ʻo fehangahangai mo hotau ngaahi faingataʻá “ʻi he mālohi ʻo e ʻEikí.”

ʻE lava ke tākiekina ʻe heʻetau ngaahi filí ha ngaahi toʻutangata.

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe ʻEletā Tōnolo L. Holositulomu ʻa e founga hono tāpuekina ʻe he faivelenga ʻa ʻene ngaahi kuí e ngaahi toʻutangata he kahaʻú:

“Ne ʻi ai ha fānau ʻe toko ua ʻa ʻeku ongo kui he tafaʻaki ʻeku tamaí, ko ha foha (ko ʻeku tamaí) mo ha ʻofefine. … Naʻe mali [hona ʻofefiné] ʻi he 1946 pea hili ha taʻu ʻe fā naʻá na ʻamanaki ki hono fāʻeleʻi mai ʻena fuofua fānaú. ʻOku ʻi ai ha meʻa makehe ki ha ongo mātuʻa ʻi heʻena ʻamanaki atu ki he fuofua fāʻele hona ʻofefiné (ʻi he meʻá ni ne ʻulutefua pē). Ne ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ha taha kuó ne feitamaʻi ha māhanga. Ko e meʻa fakamamahí he naʻá ne mate mo e ongo māhangá lolotonga e fāʻelé.

“Ne loto mamahi ʻeku ongo kuí. Ka naʻá na tafoki leva ki he ʻEikí mo ʻEne Fakaleleí. Ne ʻikai ke na toe fehuʻia pe ko e hā ne hoko ai ʻení pe ko hai ʻe tukuakiʻí, ka naʻá na tukutaha e tokangá ki he moʻui angatonú.
