MOKUNA 1
He kanaka ʻAigupita ʻo Antony ma ka hānau ʻana, he mau mākua hanohano a waiwai. A ʻo lākou iho he poʻe Karistiano a ua hānai ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano Karistiano. A i kona wā kamaliʻi, ua hānai ʻia ʻo ia e kona mau mākua, ʻaʻole ʻike i kekahi mea, ʻo lāua wale nō a me ko lāua home.
* * *
I kona nui ana a lilo i kanaka opio, aole hiki iaia ke hoomanawanui i ke ao ana i ka naauao o ke ao nei, aka, ua makemake oia e noho mawaho o na kamalii, me ka makemake e ola e like me ka mea i kakauia no Iakoba, ma kona home iho.
* * *
Pela ia i ikeia'i iloko o ka luakini o ka Haku me kona mau makua iwaena o ka poe manaoio. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i palaualelo e like me ke kamaliʻi, ʻaʻole hoʻi i haʻaheo e like me ke kanaka. Ua hoʻolohe nō naʻe ʻo ia i kona mau mākua, a ua ʻoluʻolu i ka heluhelu puke, me ka mālama ʻana i ka pono o lākou.
* * *
ʻAʻole hoʻi ʻo ia i hoʻomāinoino i kona mau mākua, e like me ke keiki kāne i ke kūlana waiwai kūpono, i ka meaʻai pipiʻi a me nā ʻano like ʻole, ʻaʻole hoʻi ʻo ia i ʻimi i ka leʻaleʻa o ia mea, akā ua ʻoluʻolu ʻo ia i nā mea i loaʻa iā ia, ʻaʻole makemake hou.
* * *
Ma hope o ka make ʻana o kona mau mākua, ua waiho wale ʻia ʻo ia me kona kaikaina. A he ʻumikumamāwalu a i ʻole iwakālua paha kona mau makahiki. A mālama ʻo ia i kona kaikuahine a me ka hale wale nō.
* * *
Aole nae i hala na malama eono mai ka make ana o kona mau makua, a hele aku e like me kana mea mau i ka luakini o ka Haku, noonoo iho la ia me ka manao nui, i ka haalele ana o na lunaolelo i na mea a pau a hahai i ka Hoola; a o ua poe manaoio la, e like me ka mea i palapalaia ma ka Oihana, kuai lilo aku la lakou i ko lakou waiwai, a waiho iho la ma na wawae o ka poe lunaolelo e haawi aku na ka poe nele; He aha a he manaʻolana nui no ka poʻe ma ka lani.
* * *
No kona manao iho i keia, komo aku la ia iloko o ka luakini. Eia kekahi, i ka heluhelu ʻana i ka ʻeuanelio, a lohe ʻo ia i ka ʻōlelo ʻana a ka Haku i ke kanaka waiwai: "Inā makemake ʻoe e hemolele, e hele ʻoe e kūʻai aku i kāu waiwai a pau, a e hāʻawi aku na ka poʻe ʻilihune; a e loaa ia oukou ka waiwai o ka lani'.
* * *
A me he mea lā ua loaʻa iā ia mai ke Akua mai ka hoʻomanaʻo a me ka manaʻo o ka poʻe lunaʻōlelo hemolele a me ka poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo mua, a me he mea lā ua heluhelu ʻia ka ʻeuanelio nona - ua haʻalele koke ʻo ia i ka luakini a hāʻawi aku i kona mau kamaʻāina i nā waiwai i loaʻa iā ia. kona mau kupuna (he ekolu haneri eka kona mau eka, maikai loa) i ole lakou e hoopilikia ia ia a me kona kaikuahine i kekahi mea. A laila kuai lilo aku la ia i kona waiwai a pau i koe, a loaa ia ia ke kala kupono, haawi aku la ia i ka poe ilihune.
* * *
Ua mālama ʻo ia i kahi waiwai no kona kaikuahine, akā i ko lākou komo hou ʻana i ka luakini a lohe i ka ʻōlelo a ka Haku ma ka ʻeuanelio: "Mai hopohopo ʻoe no ka lā ʻapōpō", ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻomanawanui hou aku - hele ʻo ia a hāʻawi i kēia. i nā kānaka o ke kūlana maʻamau. A hāʻawi aku i kona kaikuahine i nā wahine puʻupaʻa kamaʻāina a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, - hāʻawi iā ia e hānai ʻia i loko o ka hale o nā wahine puʻupaʻa, - ʻo ia iho i hāʻawi iā ia iho i ka noho hoʻomana ma waho o kona hale, me ka manaʻo nui iā ia iho a alakaʻi i kahi ola ʻeha. Eia naʻe, i kēlā manawa, ʻaʻohe hale mōneka mau ma ʻAigupita, ʻaʻohe hermit i ʻike i ka wao nahele mamao. ʻO ka mea makemake e hoʻopololei iā ia iho, ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻokahi ʻo ia ma kahi mamao loa mai kona kauhale aku.
* * *
A laila, aia ma kahi kauhale kokoke i kahi ʻelemakule i alakaʻi i ke ola monastic mai kona wā ʻōpiopio. I ka ʻike ʻana o ʻAnetone iā ia, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻokūkū iā ia ma ka maikaʻi. A mai kinohi mai, hoomaka no hoi oia e noho ma na wahi kokoke i kauhale. A i kona lohe ana malaila i ka mea e noho pono ana, hele aku la ia a imi ia ia e like me ka nalo naauao, aole hoi i hoi aku i kona wahi a ike ia ia; a laila, me he mea lā e lawe ana i kahi lako mai loko mai o kona hele ʻana i ka pono, hoʻi hou i laila.
* * *
Pela oia i hoike ai i ka makemake nui a me ka ikaika nui e hooikaika ia ia iho ma na pilikia o keia ola ana. Ua hana no hoi me kona mau lima, no ka mea, ua lohe oia: "O ka mea hana ole, mai ai ia." A ʻo nā mea a pau āna i loaʻa ai, ua hoʻolilo ʻo ia iā ia iho, ʻo kekahi hapa no ka poʻe ʻilihune. A pule aku la oia me ka hooki ole, no ka mea, ua ao mai oia e pule kakou me ka hooki ole iloko o kakou iho. Ua akahele loa ʻo ia i ka heluhelu ʻana, ʻaʻole ia i poina i kekahi mea i kākau ʻia, akā mālama ʻo ia i nā mea a pau i loko o kona hoʻomanaʻo ʻana, a i ka hopena ua lilo ia i manaʻo ponoʻī nona.
* * *
Ma muli o kēia ʻano, ua aloha ʻia ʻo Antony e nā mea a pau. A i ka poe pono ana i hele ai, ua hoolohe io no. Ua aʻo ʻo ia iā ia iho i nā pono a me nā pōmaikaʻi o ka hoʻoikaika a me ke ola o kēlā me kēia. A ike iho la ia i ka nani o kekahi, i ka noho mau i ka pule a kekahi, i ka noho malie o ke kolu, i ke aloha o ka ha; i malama i kekahi ma ka makaala, a i kekahi ma ka heluhelu; kahaha i kekahi i kona ahonui, i kekahi i kona hookeai ana a me kona moe ana; ua hoohalike oia i kekahi ma ke akahai, i kekahi ma ka lokomaikai. A ua ike like ia i ka haipule ia Kristo a me ke aloha o na mea a pau i kekahi i kekahi. A pela i ko ai, hoi aku la ia i kona wahi i hele hookahi ai. I ka pōkole, hōʻiliʻili iā ia iho i nā mea maikaʻi mai nā mea a pau, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e hōʻike iā ia iho.
Aka, i kona mau makahiki like, aole oia i hoike ia ia iho i ka huāhuā, koe wale no i emi ole ai ka pono ma ko lakou; a ua hana oia i keia i mea e kaumaha ole ai kekahi, aka, ua olioli lakou ia ia. Pela ka poe maikai a pau o ka noho ana i moe ai, i ko lakou ike ana ia ia pela, kapa aku la lakou ia ia he aloha Akua, aloha aku la lakou ia ia, he keiki kekahi, a he hoahanau kekahi.
MOKUNA 2
Akā,ʻo kaʻenemi o ka maikaʻi -ʻo ka diabolō lili, i kaʻikeʻana i kēlāʻano hana i ke kanaka'ōpio,ʻaʻole hiki iā ia keʻae. Akā, ʻo kāna mea maʻa i ka hana ʻana me nā mea a pau, ua hana ʻo ia e hana kūʻē iā ia. A ua hoʻowalewale mua ʻo ia iā ia e hoʻohuli iā ia mai ke ala āna i hele ai, ma ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i kona mau waiwai, ka mālama ʻana i kona kaikuahine, nā pili o kona ʻohana, ke aloha kālā, ke aloha nani, ka leʻaleʻa. ʻO nā ʻano meaʻai like ʻole a me nā mea hoʻonani ʻē aʻe o ke ola, a ʻo ka hope - ka paʻakikī o ka mea lokomaikaʻi a me ka nui o ka hoʻoikaika ʻana no ia mea. Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia i kona nāwaliwali kino a me ka manawa lōʻihi e hoʻokō ai i ka pahuhopu. Ma keʻano laulā, ua ho'ālaʻo ia i loko o kona noʻonoʻo i ka puahiohio o ka naʻauao, e makemake ana e hoʻohuli iā ia mai kāna koho pono.
* * *
Aka, i ka ike ana o ka mea hewa ia ia iho, ua nele loa i ka olelo hooholo a Anetona, a oi aku hoi - ua pio ia e kona kupaa, i hoohioloia e kona manaoio ikaika, a haule i kana pule hoolele, alaila, hoomaka aku la oia e kaua me na mea kaua e ae i ke kanaka opio, e like me ka po. manawa i hooweliweli aku ai oia iaia me na walaau like ole, a i ka la, ua hoonaukiuki loa oia ia ia, a maopopo iho la ka poe nana e nana mai ana ma ka aoao he hakaka ma waena o lāua. Hoʻokumu kekahi i nā manaʻo a me nā manaʻo haumia, a ʻo kekahi me ke kōkua o nā pule, ua hoʻohuli iā lākou i mau manaʻo maikaʻi a hoʻoikaika i kona kino me ka hoʻokē ʻai. ʻO kēia ka hakakā mua a ʻAnetona me ka diabolo a me kāna hana mua, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana a ka Hoʻōla ma Antony.
ʻAʻole naʻe ʻo ʻAnetoni i hoʻokuʻu i ka ʻuhane ʻino i hoʻopio ʻia e ia, ʻaʻole hoʻi i hoʻōki ka ʻenemi i ka hoʻohālua ʻana. No ka mea, e holoholo mau ana keia hope me he liona la e imi ana i mea e ku e ia ia. ʻO ia ke kumu i hoʻoholo ai ʻo Antony e hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ia iho i kahi ala ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka noho ʻana. A no laila ua hoʻoikaika nui ʻo ia iā ia iho i ka makaʻala a hoʻopau pinepine ʻo ia i ka pō holoʻokoʻa me ka hiamoe ʻole. ʻAi hoʻokahi i ka lā ma hope o ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā. ʻO kekahi manawa i kēlā me kēia ʻelua lā, a i hoʻokahi manawa i kēlā me kēia ʻehā lā ʻo ia i ʻai ai. I ka manawa like, ʻo kāna ʻai he berena a me ka paʻakai, a ʻo kāna mea inu he wai wale nō. ʻAʻohe pono e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka ʻiʻo a me ka waina. No ka hiamoe, ua ʻoluʻolu ʻo ia i ka moena ʻohe, e moe pinepine ana ma ka ʻāina.
* * *
I ka pau ana o kona kaohi ana pela, hele aku la o Anetoni i ka ilina, aia ma kahi mamao loa mai ke kauhale aku, a kauoha aku la i kekahi o kona mau hoaloha e lawe kakaikahi i ka berena nana - hookahi manawa i na la he nui, komo oia iloko o kekahi o na halekupapau. Ua pani kona kamaaina i ka puka ma hope ona a noho hoʻokahi ʻo ia i loko.
* * *
A laila, ʻaʻole hiki i ka mea ʻino ke hoʻomanawanui, hele maila ia i kekahi pō me ka lehulehu o nā ʻuhane ʻino, a hahau a hoʻokuʻi nui iā ia a waiho iā ia e waiho ana ma ka honua me ka puʻuhū me ke kaumaha. I kekahi lā aʻe, hele mai ka hoaaloha e lawe i ka berena nāna. I kona wehe ʻana i ka puka a ʻike iā ia e waiho ana ma ka honua me he kanaka make lā, lawe aʻela ʻo ia iā ia a lawe aku i ka hale pule kauhale. Ma laila ʻo ia i waiho ai iā ia ma ka honua, a nui nā ʻohana a me nā kamaʻāina e noho ana a puni ʻo Antony me he kanaka make lā.
* * *
I ke aumoe, ala ae la o Antony, ike aku la ia ua hiamoe na mea a pau, a o ka mea makaainana wale no ke ala. A laila, kunou akula ʻo ia iā ia e hele mai i ona lā a noi aku iā ia e kiʻi a hoʻihoʻi iā ia i ka ilina me ka hoʻāla ʻole i kekahi. No laila ua lawe ʻia ʻo ia e kēlā kanaka, a pani ʻia ka puka e like me ka wā ma mua, waiho hou ʻia ʻo ia ma loko. ʻAʻohe ona ikaika e kū i luna no ka hahau ʻana, akā, moe ihola ʻo ia a pule.
A ma hope o ka pule, ʻōlelo ʻo ia me ka leo nui: "Eia wau - Anthony. ʻAʻole au e holo i kāu mau hahau. ʻOiai inā e hahau hou ʻoe iaʻu, ʻaʻohe mea e hoʻokaʻawale iaʻu mai koʻu aloha iā Kristo. A laila hīmeni ʻo ia: "Inā i hoʻonohonoho ʻia kahi pūʻali koa holoʻokoʻa e kūʻē iaʻu, ʻaʻole makaʻu koʻu puʻuwai."
* * *
A no laila, noʻonoʻo a hoʻopuka ka mea hoʻokalakupua i kēia mau ʻōlelo. A ʻo ka ʻenemi ʻino o ka maikaʻi, kāhāhā ia i kēia kanaka, ma hope o ka hahau ʻana, ʻaʻa ʻo ia e hele i kahi hoʻokahi, kāhea aku i kāna mau ʻīlio, a huā i ka huhū, ʻī akula: "E nānā ʻoe, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻoluhi iā ia. aka, ke aa nei oia e olelo ku e mai ia kakou. E hoʻomaka kākou ma kahi ʻano ʻē aʻe e kūʻē iā ia!"
A laila, i ka pō, kani nui lākou a me he mea lā ua haʻalulu ka wahi a pau. A me he mea la e hoohiolo ana na daimonio i na paia eha o ke keena liilii aloha, me ka manao e hoouka mai ana lakou ma o lakou la, i hoololiia i ke ano o na holoholona a me na mea kolo. Ua piha koke ia wahi i na hihio o na liona, na bea, na leopadi, na bipi, na nahesa, na mohe a me na moohueloawa, na iliohae. A hele kela mea keia mea o lakou ma kona ala iho: uwo ka liona a makemake e hoouka ia ia, hoohuoi ka bipi ia ia me kona mau kiwi, kokolo ka nahesa me ka hiki ole aku ia ia, a hoao ka iliohae e lele maluna ona. A ʻo ka leo o kēia mau ʻuhane a pau, he weliweli, a he weliweli ko lākou inaina.
A ʻo Antonius, me he mea lā i kuʻi ʻia a ʻuhu ʻia e lākou, ua uē ʻo ia ma muli o ka ʻeha o ke kino i loaʻa iā ia. Akā, mālama ʻo ia i ka ʻuhane hauʻoli a hoʻomāʻewaʻewa iā lākou, ʻī maila: "Inā he ikaika i loko o ʻoukou, ua lawa ia i kekahi o ʻoukou ke hele mai. Aka, no ko ke Akua hoonele ana mai ia oe i ka mana, nolaila, oiai oe he lehulehu loa, hoao wale no oe e hooweliweli mai ia'u. He mea hoike ia o kou nawaliwali, ua lawe oe i na kii o na mea leo ole.’ I kona piha hou ana me ka wiwo ole, i mai la oia: “Ina e hiki ia oe, a ina ua loaa io ia oe ka mana maluna o'u, mai lohi, aka, e hoouka aku! Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe, no ke aha e hoʻopilikia wale ai? ʻO ko mākou manaʻoʻiʻo iā Kristo he hōʻailona ia a me kahi paʻa o ka palekana. " A nui hou aku ka lakou hoao ana, nau iho la ko lakou mau niho ia ia.
* * *
Akā i kēia hihia, ʻaʻole i kū ka Haku mai ka hakakā ʻana o Antony, akā ua hele mai e kōkua iā ia. No ka mea, i ka nana ana aku o Anetoni iluna, ike aku la oia me he mea la ua hamama ka hale, a iho mai la kekahi kukuna malamalama iaia. A ia hora ua ike ole ia na daimonio. A kaniuhu ihola ʻo Antonius, hoʻomaha ʻia mai kona ʻehaʻeha, a nīnau akula i ka hihiʻo i ʻike ʻia, me ka ʻī ʻana: "Auhea ʻoe? No ke aha ʻoe i hele ʻole mai ai mai kinohi mai e hoʻopau i koʻu ʻeha?" A lohe ʻia aku kekahi leo iā ia: “E Antoni, aia wau ma ʻaneʻi, akā ua kali wau e ʻike i kāu hakakā. A ma hope o kou kū wiwo ʻole ʻana, ʻaʻole hoʻi i heʻe ʻia, ʻo wau nō kou pale mau a e hoʻokaulana iā ʻoe ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
A lohe ʻo ia i kēia, ala aʻela ia a pule. A ua ikaika loa ʻo ia a manaʻo ʻo ia ua ʻoi aku ka ikaika o kona kino i mua. A he kanakolukumamālima kona mau makahiki.
* * *
I kekahi lā aʻe, puka maila ʻo ia mai kona wahi peʻe a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kona kūlana. Hele ʻo ia i ka nahele. Akā, ʻike hou ka ʻenemi i kona ikaika a makemake e keakea iā ia, hoʻolei akula i ke kiʻi hoʻopunipuni o kahi kīʻaha kālā nui. Aka, ua hoomaopopo o Antony i ka maalea o ka mea hewa, oki iho la ia. A ʻike akula ʻo ia i ka diabolo i loko o ka pā, papa akula ʻo ia iā ia, ʻōlelo akula i ke kīʻaha: “ʻAuhea ke kīʻaha ma ka wao nahele? ʻAʻole hehi ʻia kēia alanui a ʻaʻohe ʻike o nā kapuaʻi kanaka. Inā hāʻule mai kekahi, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike ʻole ʻia, no ka mea he nui loa. Akā, ʻo ka mea nalowale e hoʻi mai, e ʻimi a loaʻa, no ka mea, ua mehameha ia wahi. Na ke diabolo keia maalea. Aole nae oe e keakea mai i ko'u manao maikai e ka diabolo! No ka mea, e luku pū ʻia kēia kālā me ʻoe!” A ʻo ʻAnetona i ʻōlelo ai i kēia mau ʻōlelo, nalo akula ka ipu me he uahi lā.
* * *
A ma hope o kāna hoʻoholo ʻana me ka paʻa loa, ua hele ʻo Antony i ka mauna. Loaʻa iā ia kahi pā kaua ma lalo o ka muliwai, mehameha a piha i nā mea kolo. Ua neʻe ʻo ia i laila a noho ma laila. A ʻo nā mea kolo, me he mea lā i alualu ʻia e kekahi, holo koke lākou. Akā, ua pā ʻo ia i ka puka komo a waiho i ka berena ma laila no ʻeono mahina (ʻo ia ka hana a ka poʻe Tivian a ʻaʻole i pōʻino ka berena no ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa). He wai nō hoʻi kou i loko, no laila ua hoʻokū ʻo ia iā ia iho me he mea lā ma kahi hoʻāno hiki ʻole ke komo a noho hoʻokahi i loko, ʻaʻole ia e hele i waho a ʻike ʻole i kekahi e hele mai i laila. ʻElua wale nō i ka makahiki i loaʻa iā ia ka berena mai luna mai, ma ka hale.
* * *
A no kona ʻae ʻole ʻana i ka poʻe i hele mai i ona lā e komo i loko, ua noho pinepine lākou i nā lā a me nā pō ma waho, lohe lākou i kekahi mea e like me ka lehulehu e walaʻau ana, e paʻi ana, e hoʻopuka ana i nā leo aloha a me ka uē ʻana: "E haʻalele iā mākou i nā wahi! He aha kāu e hana ai me ka wao nahele? ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kūpaʻa i kā mākou hoʻopunipuni. "
I kinohi, manaʻo ka poʻe o waho he poʻe kēia e hakakā nei me ia, a komo lākou ma kekahi alapiʻi. Aka, i ko lakou nana ana iloko o ka lua, aole lakou i ike i kekahi, ua ike lakou he daimonio lakou, makau iho la lakou a kapa aku la ia Antony. Ua lohe koke ʻo ia, ʻaʻole naʻe ʻo ia i makaʻu i nā daimonio. A kokoke i ka puka, kono aku la ia i na kanaka e hele, mai makau. No ka mea, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, makemake nā diabolo i ka pāʻani ʻana i ka poʻe makaʻu. "Akā, hele ʻoe iā ʻoe iho a hele mālie, a hoʻokuʻu iā lākou e pāʻani." Pela lakou i hele ai me ka hoailona o ke kea. Noho iho la ia, aole i hana ino ia e na daimonio.
