“Kuo fai ʻe he Fakalelei ʻa hotau Fakamoʻuí ha meʻa ʻoku mahulu hake ʻi he moʻui taʻe-faʻa-mate ʻi ha toetuʻu fakaemāmani lahi, pea ʻokú ne ʻomi e faingamālie ke fakamaʻa kitautolu mei he angahalá ʻaki ʻa e fakatomalá mo e papitaisó. ʻOku toe ʻomai foki ‘e Heʻene Fakaleleí ha faingamālie ke tau lotu kiate Ia kuó Ne foua ʻa ʻetau ngaahi mamahi fakamatelie kotoa pē pea mo ʻomi ʻa e ivi ke fuesia ʻa e ngaahi kavenga mafasia ʻo e moʻui fakamatelié. ʻOkú Ne ʻafioʻi ʻetau ngaahi mamahí, pea ʻokú Ne ʻi ai ke tokoni mai.

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe ʻEletā Sefilī R. Hōlani ʻa e talanoa ko ʻení:
