Maʻu ʻe Koliniusi ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní

Naʻe ʻi ai ha ʻōfisa mahuʻinga ʻa e kau tau Lomá ʻi Sesalia ko hono hingoá ko Koliniusi. Neongo naʻe ʻikai ko ha Siu ia, naʻe fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ia ʻe he kau Siú. Naʻá ne tokoniʻi loto-lelei ʻa e kakai masiva mo faingataʻaʻiá. Naʻe tui ʻa Koliniusi kia Sihova pea naʻá ne lotu maʻu pē kiate ia. ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe hā ai ha ʻāngelo kia Koliniusi ʻo ne pehē: ‘Kuo fanongo ʻa e ʻOtuá ki hoʻo ngaahi lotú. Fekauʻi he taimí ni ha kau tangata ke nau ō ki he kolo ko Siopá, ʻa ia ʻoku nofo ai ʻa Pita, pea kole kiate ia ke ne haʻu kiate koe.’ Naʻe fekauʻi ʻi he taimi pē ko iá ʻe Koliniusi ha kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ke nau ō ki Siopa, naʻe ʻi he maile nai ʻe 30 ki he tongá.

Lolotonga ení, naʻe maʻu ʻe Pita ha vīsone ʻi Siopa. Naʻá ne sio ki he fanga manu naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke kai ʻe he kau Siú, peá ne fanongo ki ha leʻo ʻokú ne tala ange kiate ia ke ne kai ia. Naʻe ʻikai ke tali ia ʻe Pita, ʻo ne pehē: ‘Ka kuo ʻikai ʻaupito ke u kai ha manu taʻemaʻa ʻi he kotoa ʻeku moʻuí.’ Naʻe tala ange leva ʻe he leʻó kiate ia: ‘ʻOua ʻe ui ʻoku taʻemaʻa ʻa e fanga manu ko ení. Kuo ʻai kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ke nau maʻa.’ Naʻe toe tala ai kia Pita: ‘ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ʻi ho matapaá. ʻAlu mo kinautolu.’ Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Pita ki he matapaá ʻo ʻeke ki he kau tangatá ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo ʻenau ʻi aí. Naʻa nau tali ange: ‘Kuo fekauʻi mai kimautolu ʻe Koliniusi, ko ha ʻōfisa ʻa e kau tau Lomá. ʻOkú ne fiemaʻu ke ke haʻu ki Sesalia ki hono falé.’ Naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Pita ʻa e kau tangatá ke nau nofo ʻi he pō ko iá ko ʻene kau fakaafe ʻi hono ʻapí. ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻá ne ʻalu ai mo kinautolu ki Sesalia, fakataha mo e fanga tokoua ʻe niʻihi mei Siopa.

ʻI he sio ʻa Koliniusi kia Pitá, naʻá ne tūʻulutui. Ka naʻe pehē ange ʻe Pita: ‘Tuʻu hake! Ko ha tangata pē au ʻo hangē ko koé. Naʻe tala mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ke u haʻu ki ho falé, neongo ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻalu ʻa e kau Siú ki he ʻapi ʻo e kau Senitailé. Ko eni tala mai muʻa ʻa e ʻuhinga naʻá ke fekau mai ai ke u haʻú.’

Naʻe tala ange ʻe Koliniusi kia Pita: ‘ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fā kuohilí naʻá ku lotu ai ki he ʻOtuá, pea naʻe tala mai ʻe ha ʻāngelo ke u fekau atu ke ke haʻu. Akoʻi mai muʻa kiate kimautolu ʻa e folofola ʻa Sihová.’ Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Pita: ‘Kuó u ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻikai ke filifilimānako ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOkú ne tali ha taha pē ʻoku loto ke lotu kiate ia.’ Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Pita kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lahi fekauʻaki mo Sīsū. Naʻe hoko mai leva ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní kia Koliniusi mo e faʻahinga naʻe ʻi ai mo iá, pea naʻa nau papitaiso kotoa.
