ʻO ka lā o St. Nicholas, i kaulana i ka Komohana, he lā nui i hoʻomaha lōʻihiʻia ma ko mākou'āina. Ma mua o ka hikiʻana mai o ka hānauʻana o Kristo a me ka hoʻolauleʻaʻana i ka makahiki hou, e pili ana nā mākua i ka hoʻomākaukauʻana i nā meaʻono, nā makana mua a me nā pilikia'ē aʻe, a no nā keikiʻo St. Nicholas lā he manawa kupanaha e loaʻa ai ka hoʻoikaikaʻana ma keʻano o ka'ati a iʻole nā mea pohihihi liʻiliʻi.
I ka lāʻo Dekemaba, i ka manawa e hoʻomanaʻoʻia ai ka lā o St. Nicholas (ma ka lā 6 o ka Katolika a he 19 o ka poʻe Orthodox),ʻo nā keiki hewa loa a me nā kolohe e ho'āʻo pono e hoʻolohe. ʻO ka meaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo nā makana no ka lā o St. Nicholas e maikaʻi a maikaʻi maoli nō. He mea maʻamau ka nānāʻana o nā keiki i kaʻano o nāʻano o St. Nicholas, akā, he mea hikiʻole keʻike. Hele maiʻo ia i ka pō a moe nā kamaliʻi, a hāʻawi i nā makana i nā kāmaʻa i hana muaʻia aiʻole nā kāmeka e kau ana ma kahi ahi. I kekahi manawa, loaʻa nā makana i lalo o ka uluna. ʻAʻole iʻikeʻia kahi kahi i noho aiʻo St. Nicholas. Wahi a ka moʻolelo,ʻo ka makahiki a pau e noho anaʻo ia ma lalo o kekahi lāʻauʻoka nui, kahi eʻike aiʻoe i ka Honua a puni, a hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki me kāna mau kauā e kipa i nā keiki. ʻElua mauʻano me nā'ānelaʻelua e hele pū me ia. Nā lākou Nicholas e'ōlelo i kekahi i nā hana maikaʻi a me nā hanaʻino a nā keiki. A,ʻoiaʻiʻo, he lanakila mau ka lanakila - ma ke kakahiaka ma lalo o ka uluna e loaʻa i nā keiki nā makana no ka lā o St. Nicholas. ʻO ka hapanui pinepine - he mau puke a he'ati.
ʻO kahi kālepa mai kahi ola
ʻO ke kuʻuna o ka hoʻolauleʻaʻana i ka lāʻo St. Nicholas ke kumu o ka ola o kahi kanaka maoli. Nohoʻo ia ma Asia a lilo i kaulana no kona lokomaikaʻi nui. Ua kōkua mauʻo Nikolai i ka poʻeʻilihune a me ka poʻeʻilihune, nāna i hāʻawi i kā lākou kālā nui. No kona aloha nui i nā kānaka, ua kūpono iā ia ke aloha a me ka hoʻomanaʻole. Ma kekahi mau moʻolelo i kākauʻia, aia nāʻike iʻikeʻia e Nicholas i Ierusalema, piʻi i Golgota e hāʻawi aku i ke aloha i ka Mea Ho'ōla. Ua makemakeʻo Nicholas e hāʻawi i kona ola i ka nani o ke Akua ma ka halepule Ziona, akā ua hōʻikeʻo Iēhova iā ia i kekahiʻano'ē aʻe - e lawelawe i nā kānaka.
ʻO nā hana maikaʻi a Nicholas i lilo i kumu no kona hoʻoikaikaʻana e ka halepule. I kēia lā, ma nā home he nui, pule nā mea pule i kēia mea hemolele. E nā keiki, loaʻa nā makana i ka lā o St. Nicholas, me kaʻikeʻoleʻia, aʻo e aloha i nā kānaka, ka lokomaikaʻi a me ka hoʻolohe. E kauʻia kēia kuʻuna i nā keiki, nā moʻopuna, a me nā moʻopuna moʻopuna, akā, no ka mea, ke ola nei ka moʻolelo a me nā kuʻuna, ola kaʻohana, ola nā kānaka.
Nā hana maʻamau a me keʻano hou
ʻAʻole kū mālie ka manawa. Inā ma mua o nā keiki i kākau i nā leka kahi i hōʻike ai lākou i ko lākou mau makemake ma ka pepa māmā, i kēia lā e hiki ke hanaʻia ma ka pūnaewele. He nui nā kumuwaiwai e hāʻawi ana e hoʻokō i ka hana o ka lupe hānai ma waena o ke keiki a me Saint Nicholas. Akā, eʻae likeʻoe, uaʻoi aku ka pili o ka naʻau a me nāʻano maʻamau e kākau ma ka pepa, a me pehea e kākau ai, hiki iāʻoe keʻike ma ka hōʻailona o ka leka i Saint Nicholas,ʻaʻole he mele, akā e kōkua wale iāʻoe e mālama iāʻoe iho.
"E ke aloha kaulanaʻo Nic Niclas! I kēia makahiki he keiki hoʻolohe wau, hana wau i nā mea a pau,
E hoʻomau wau e hana i nā mea maikaʻi. ʻAʻole no kaʻu makemake i kahi makana, akā, no ka maikaʻi he lokomaikaʻi. Inā hiki iāʻoe, hāʻawi i koʻu makuahine i kaʻaʻahu nani, ka makua kāne, a me ke kaikunāne i kahi mea pāʻani. ʻAʻole pono, no ka mea, na haʻi ia. ʻAʻole i ka hopena, akā, no ka mea heʻuʻuku kona. A makemake auʻaʻole e maʻi kekahi.
