Teunga Tāú: Ko ʻEku Fononga Lōloá
“Faʻē, talamai ha ʻuhinga lelei ʻe TAHA ʻoku totonu ke u teunga taau ai. Kuó u ʻosi fanongo kotoa au ai.” (Pe ko e anga ia ʻeku fakakaukaú.)
ʻOku ou fakaʻamu ne u lava ʻo pehē naʻá ku tupu hake ʻo saiʻia he tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e teunga tāú, ka ko hono moʻoní, naʻe ʻikai. Neongo naʻe akoʻi au ʻe heʻeku ongomātuʻá naʻe mahuʻinga ʻa e teunga tāú, ka naʻá ku pehē naʻe fakaʻofoʻofa ange ʻa e ngaahi teunga taʻetaau ʻi he ʻū faiva naʻá ku mamata aí.
Ne u fanongo ʻi ha ngaahi ʻuhinga lahi ki he teunga tāú naʻe ʻikai ʻuhingamālie kiate au, mei he “Ko e teunga tāú ʻoku lelei tahá” ki he “Ko ho fatongia ke teunga taau ke taʻofi e fakakaukau kovi ʻa e tamaiki tangatá.” Naʻe maʻu e tokanga naʻá ku fiemaʻú ʻi heʻeku teunga taʻetāú. Naʻe ʻikai ke u fie fakakaukau ki he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e teunga tāú, pea naʻá ku ongoʻi ʻita lahi ʻaupito ʻi hono poupouʻi au ʻe he kakaí ke u tui iá.
“ʻOmai ha ʻUhinga Lelei ʻe Taha ”
ʻI ha faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻe taha, naʻá ku ʻalu ai ʻo ʻeva mo ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa. Naʻe sio ʻeku faʻeé ki he vala taʻetaau naʻá ku tuí peá ne pehē mai, “ʻIlisapesi, ʻoku ofi ke ke fuʻu fefine. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke ke fakakaukau moʻoni pe ʻokú ke fie hoko ko ha tokotaha fēfē, pea ʻoku fakahaaʻi ia ʻi ho fotungá.” ʻI heʻene lea ko ʻení, naʻá ku mateuteu ke u fakafekiki.
“Faʻē, talamai ha ʻuhinga lelei ʻe taha ʻoku totonu ke u teunga taau ai. Kuó u ʻosi fanongo kotoa au ai. Pea ʻoku ou kei tatali ke fanongo ki ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai kau ai e tamaiki tangatá mo ʻenau fakakaukaú. ʻOmai ha faʻahinga, meʻa pē ʻoku ʻuhingamālié.”
Naʻá ne sio ki tuʻa he matapā sioʻatá ʻi ha kiʻi taimi siʻi. Hili ha kiʻi taimi fakalongolongo, naʻá ne sio hake kiate au ʻi he ʻofa mo lea leʻo siʻi mai, “Koeʻuhí ko ha tefitoʻi moʻoni ia ʻo e talangofuá, pea ʻokú ke ʻofa ʻi he Tamai Hēvaní.”
Naʻá ku ʻohovale ʻaupito ʻo ʻikai ke u toe lava ʻo tali ki ai. Naʻe kamataʻi ʻe heʻene ngaahi leá ʻa e meʻa naʻe fiemaʻu ke u fakahoko ke ikunaʻi ʻaki ʻa e faingataʻa ko ʻení.
Ko e Moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e Teunga Tāú
Naʻe kamata ke u fakatokangaʻi naʻe ʻikai kaunga pē ʻa e teunga tāú ki he anga ʻo ʻeku teuteú. Hangē ko e ngaahi fakatokanga ʻi he folofolá ki hono tui e ngaahi kofu fakataungataʻá (vakai, ʻAlamā 5:53; Molomona 8:36–39), ko ʻeku fili ʻi he valá ko ha fakaʻilonga pē ia ʻo e fakakaukau mo e tōʻonga hīkisiá. Pea ko e hīkisia ko iá ko ha meʻa ia naʻá ku pikitai ki ai ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi. Naʻe ʻikai ke u loto ke tukuange ʻa e meʻa naʻá ku fiemaʻú, ʻa ia ko e fie fakatokangaʻí mo e fakahīkihikí, kae fai e finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní kiate aú.
ʻOku pehē ʻi he fakahinohino Ki Hono Fakamālohia ʻo e Toʻu Tupú , “ʻOku finangalo e Tamai Hēvaní ke tau vakai ki he tuʻunga moʻoni ʻoku tau ʻi aí: ʻo ʻikai ko e sino fakamatelié pē ka ko ʻEne fānau ʻofeina ʻoku ʻi ai honau ikuʻanga fakalangi” ([2022], 24). Naʻe kamata ke u vakai ʻoku toputapu hoku sinó, ko ha meʻa naʻe fiemaʻu ke u fakaʻaongaʻi ke fakalāngilangiʻi ʻaki ʻa e ʻOtuá, kae ʻikai ko au.
Fonu ʻi Heʻene ʻOfá
ʻI he kamata ke u fakatomalá, naʻe fakafonu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní e ngaahi konga hoku lotó ne holi ke fakatokangaʻí ʻaki ʻEne ʻofá. Naʻe fakaivia moʻoni ʻeni pea naʻá ku maʻu ai ha ʻamanaki lelei lahi ʻo kamata ke mavahe mei hoku lotó ʻa e holi ki he teunga taʻetāú.
Naʻe kamata ke liliu ʻeku tōʻonga leá, tupulaki ʻeku ʻofa ki he niʻihi kehé, pea tupulaki mo ʻeku holi ke tokoní. Naʻe ʻikai ke u fakaʻaongaʻi pē ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e talangofua ki he ʻOtuá ʻi heʻeku moʻuí; naʻe kamata ke u ʻofa ai. Naʻá ku lava ʻo ongoʻi hono mālohi ke maluʻí. Naʻe tokoni ʻa e liliu ko ʻení ke u teuteu ai ke ʻalu ki he temipalé ʻo fakahoko ha ngaahi fuakava fakaʻofoʻofa mo toputapu ʻi Hono falé.
ʻOku ou saiʻia he taimí ni he teunga tāú koeʻuhí ʻoku ou saiʻia he tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e talangofuá, ko ha meʻa ne ʻikai ke u teitei fakakaukau ʻe hoko. Ka naʻe ʻikai teitei foʻi ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ʻiate au, pea he ʻikai te Ne teitei liʻaki koe ʻi ha faʻahinga meʻa pē ʻokú ke fefaʻuhi mo ia, neongo kapau ko ha fononga lōloa mo faingataʻa ia.
