Talateu
ʻOku ʻikai fiemaʻu ke hoko hoʻo taimi ʻi he ʻapi pōpulá ko e aʻusia ia ke ne faʻu ʻa e halanga ʻo hoʻo moʻuí. ʻOku taʻengata ho tuʻunga ko e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá, neongo hoʻo ngāue pōpulá. ʻE tokoni hoʻo laka atu ʻi he tui mo e falala kia Sīsū Kalaisí ke ke aʻusia ai ʻa e tuʻunga ʻokú Ne finangalo ke ke aʻusiá. Te Ne tokoniʻi koe ke ke maʻu ha moʻui fiefia mo mahuʻingamālie.
ʻE lava ke faingataʻa ʻa e moʻuí ʻi he lolotonga mo e hili ʻa e ngāue pōpulá. ʻE lava ke faingataʻa hono kumi ha ngāue maʻuʻanga moʻui, fale nofoʻanga, fakamālohia ʻo e ngaahi vā fetuʻutakí, mo e ngaahi tafaʻaki lahi kehe ʻo e moʻui fakaʻahó, tuʻunga ʻi ha lekooti faihia. Neongo ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻá ni, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke ke tuenoa. ʻI hoʻo muimui ki he ngaahi akonaki ʻa Kalaisí, te ke lava ʻo fakatupulaki koe pea siʻaki ho ngaahi momeniti ʻo e vaivaí, ngaahi fili taʻe-fakapotopotó, mo e ngaahi aʻusia faingataʻa ʻi he kuohilí.

Ka neongo ia, manatuʻi ʻe makatuʻunga maʻu pē ʻiate koe ke ke fai ha ngaahi fili lelei te ne tokoniʻi koe ke ke fakalakalaka.

Fetuʻutaki maʻu pē mo e kau maʻu mafai tokangaʻí fekauʻaki mo hoʻo fakalakalaká, ngaahi fiemaʻú, mo e ngaahi fakaʻamú.
