ʻOkú Ke Mohe Nai Lolotonga Hono Fakafoki Mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí?

ʻI he meimei taʻu ʻe 200 kuo hilí, ne hoko e talanoa nounou ʻAmelika ko e “Rip Van Winkle” ko ha talanoa fungani. Ko e tangata ne fai ki ai e talanoá ko Lipe (Rip), ko ha tangata fakapikopiko naʻe poto ʻaupito he mamio mei ha meʻa ʻe ua: ngāué mo hono uaifí.

Hili haʻane tali ha konga ʻo ʻenau kava mālohí, kuo fakaʻau ke fiemohea ʻa Lipe pea kiʻi kuikui taimi siʻi. Ko e taimi naʻe toe ʻāʻā hake ai hono matá, naʻá ne ʻohovale ke ʻilo kuo pulia ʻene kulií, ʻumeʻumea mo ʻene meʻafaná, pea loloa mo hono kavá.
ʻI he foki mai ʻa Lipe ki hono kiʻi koló ʻo toki ʻilo ai kuo liliu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē. Kuo ʻosi mālōlō hono uaifí, pulia hono kaungāmeʻá, pea kuo ʻosi fetongi ʻa e tā ʻo e Tuʻi ko Siaosi III he fale kavá ʻaki ha tā ʻo ha taha ʻokú ʻikai ke ne ʻilo—ko Seniale Siaosi Uāsingatoni.
Naʻe mohe ʻa Lipe Veni Uingikolo ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 20! ʻI heʻene peheé, ne ʻikai kau ia ʻi he taha ʻo e ngaahi taimi fakafiefia taha ʻi he hisitōlia ʻo hono fonuá—ne mohe ia he lolotonga ʻo e Tau Fakalotofonua ʻa ʻAmeliká.
Naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe Toketā Mātini Lūtelo Kingi ko e Siʻí, ʻa e talanoá ni ʻi Mē ʻo e 1966, ko e fakatātā ʻi heʻene lea “ʻOua ʻe Mohe he Lolotonga ʻo e Tau Fakalotofonuá.”1
ʻOku ou fie ngāue ʻaki e kaveinga tatau he ʻahó ni mo fokotuʻu atu ha fehuʻi kiate kitautolu kotoa ʻoku maʻu e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻo e ʻOtuá: ʻokú ke mohe lolotonga hono Fakafoki mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí?
ʻOku Tau Moʻui ʻi he Kuonga ʻo hono Toe Fakafoki mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí
ʻOku tau fakakaukau he taimi ʻe niʻihi ko hono toe Fakafoki mai ʻo e ongoongoleleí ko ha meʻa ʻoku kakato, kuo ʻosi hoko—naʻe ʻosi liliu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e ngaahi kī ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, pea kuo ʻosi fokotuʻu mo e Siasí. Ko hono moʻoní, ko hono toe Fakafoki mai ʻo e ongoongoleleí ko ha ngāue ia ʻoku kei hokohoko atu pē; ʻoku tau moʻui ai he taimí ni. ʻOku kau ai ʻa e “ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo fakahā mai ʻe he ʻOtuá, mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻokú Ne fakahā mai ʻi he taimi ní,” pea mo e “ngaahi meʻa lalahi mo mahuʻinga” ʻa ia “te Ne kei fakahā mai ʻamuí.”2 Kāinga, ko e ngaahi fakalakalaka fakafiefia ʻo e ʻaho ní ko e konga ne kikiteʻi fuoloa ki he vahaʻataimi ʻo e teuteu ko hono tumutumú ko e Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua nāunauʻia mai hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí.
Ko e taha ʻeni ʻo e ngaahi vahaʻataimi fakaofo taha he hisitōlia ʻo māmaní! Naʻe fakaʻamua ʻe he kau palōfita ʻo e kounga muʻá ke nau mamata ki hotau kuongá.
ʻI he kakato ko ia hotau taimi ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié, ko e hā leva ha ngaahi taukei te tau lava ʻo vahevahe ke fakamatalaʻi ʻetau tokoni ki he vahaʻataimi mahuʻinga ko ʻeni ʻo ʻetau moʻuí pea mo hono paotoloaki e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí? Te tau lava ʻapē ke pehē ne pelu e nima hotau soté pea tau ngāue ʻaki hotau lotó, iví, ʻatamaí, mo e iví kotoa? Pe te tau tala ko ʻetau ngāué naʻe meimei ko e foʻi mamata vaʻinga ʻataʻatā pē?
ʻOku ou tui ʻoku lahi ha ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku faingofua ai ke kiʻi tulemohe ʻi hono langa ʻo e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá. Tuku ke u lea ki ha meʻa lalahi ʻe tolu. ʻI heʻeku fai iá, ʻoku ou fakaafeʻi kimoutolu ke mou fifili pe ʻoku kaunga ha taha kiate koe. Kapau ʻoku fie maʻu ke fai ha fakalakalaka, ʻoku ou kole atu ke ke fakakaukauʻi e meʻa te ke lava ʻo fai ke ke liliu ai ʻo lelei ange.

Ne fekuki ʻa e ngaahi toʻu tangata ʻo e kuo hilí mo e fakafōtunga kehekehe ʻo e siokitá pe fakahikihikiʻi pē kitá, ka ʻi he ʻaho ní ʻoku tau feʻauʻauhi moʻoni mo kinautolu. Ne tupukoso noa pē nai hono ui ʻe he Oxford Dictionary e foʻi lea ko e “selfie (tā pē ʻo kita naʻá te ʻai)” ko e foʻi lea manakoa taha ia ʻo e taʻú?3
ʻOku fakanatula pē ʻetau fie maʻu ke fakatokangaʻi kitá, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ia ʻe fehalaaki ʻi he mālōlō ʻo maʻu ha fiefiá. Ka ko e taimi ʻoku hoko ai e fekumi ke “maʻu ha totongi mo e fakamālō ʻa e māmaní,”4 ko e ʻelito ʻo ʻetau taumuʻá, ʻe mole leva meiate kitautolu e aʻusia fakafiefia ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau foaki lahi ai ʻetau moʻuí ki he ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí.
Ko e hā ʻa e faitoʻó?
Ko e talí, ʻoku maʻu ia ʻi he ngaahi folofola ʻa Kalaisí:
“Ko ia ia ʻoku loto ke muimui ʻiate aú, ke ne siʻaki ʻe ia ia, kae toʻo ʻene kavengá, ʻo muimui ʻiate au.
“He ko ia ia ʻoku loto ke kalofaki ʻene moʻuí, ʻe mole ia; ka ko ia ia ʻe mole ʻene moʻuí koeʻuhí ko au mo e ongoongoleleí, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ia.”5
ʻOku ʻilo ʻe kinautolu ʻoku nau foaki kakato ʻenau moʻuí ki hotau Fakamoʻuí pea tauhi ki he ʻOtuá mo hotau kāingá, ha moʻui ʻoku lelei mo kakato he ʻikai teitei aʻusia ia ʻe he siokitá pe fakamafutofutá. ʻOku foaki ʻa e taʻe-siokitá mei heʻene moʻuí. ʻE malava pē ko ha meʻaʻofa ʻeni ʻo e ʻofá ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai hano ʻaonga lahi ki he leleí: ko ha kiʻi malimali, lulululu, fāʻofua, fakafanongo, pea mo ha lea vaivai ʻo e fakalotolahí pe ko hano fakahaaʻi ʻo e loto-tokanga. ʻE lava ʻe he ngaahi tōʻonga kotoa ko ʻeni ʻo e angaʻofá ʻo liliu ʻa e lotó mo e moʻuí. Ko e taimi ʻoku tau ngāue-ʻaonga ʻaki ai ʻa e ngaahi faingamālie taʻe-fakangatangata ke ʻofa mo tokoniʻi hotau kāingá, kau ai hotau malí mo e fāmilí, ʻe tupulaki lahi fau ʻetau malava ke ʻofa ʻi he ʻOtuá mo tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé.
ʻOku ʻikai mohe ʻa e loto fietokoní ia lolotonga hono Fakafoki mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí.

Ko e maʻunimaá ko ha meʻa ia ʻe taha te ne ala fakatupu e ʻaiʻainoaʻiá ʻi he taimi mahuʻinga ko ʻeni ʻo e māmaní.
ʻOku faʻa kamata siʻisiʻi pē e maʻunimaʻá. Ko e maʻunimaá ko e ngaahi afo tuʻovalevale ʻo hono toutou fai ha tōʻonga ʻoku filohi fakataha ia ʻo hoko ko ha ʻulungaanga mālohi. ʻOku malava ke hoko ʻa e ngaahi tōʻonga koví ko ha maʻunimā mālohi.

Ngaahi tokoua, ʻoku tau maʻu e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki taʻengata ʻo e ʻOtua Fungani Māfimafí. Ko e ngaahi foha moʻoni kitautolu ʻo e Fungani Māʻolungá pea kuo ʻosi fakakoloaʻi kitautolu ʻaki ha tuʻunga malava ʻoku ʻikai lava ke fakamatalaʻi. ʻOku fokotuʻutuʻu kitautolu ke tau puna fakatuputupulangi ʻi he ngaahi langí. ʻOku ʻikai fakataumuʻa ke haʻi kitautolu ki māmani, mo puleʻi ʻe he ngaahi meʻa kuo tau faʻú.
Ko e hā ʻa e faitoʻó?
Ko e ʻuluaki meʻa ke mahino kiate kitautolú ʻoku faingofua ange ke taʻofi ʻa e maʻunimaá ʻi hono faitoʻó. ʻI he folofola ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, “ʻOua naʻa mou tuku ke hū ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻo e ngaahi fakakaukaú ni ki homou lotó.”6
ʻI he ngaahi taʻu siʻi kuo hilí, naʻe ʻomai ai kiate au mo Palesiteni Tōmasi S.

Naʻá ku sioloto ki he ngaahi fepunaʻaki ʻo tō ʻi he ngaahi malaʻe vakapuna he funga ʻo e māmaní.
Ne ʻikai ke u toe fakakaukau, naʻá ku hili atu hoku nimá ki he kia ʻe fā ʻo e 747. Feʻunga pē mo e ongo mai ha leʻo ʻofa mo taʻe-toe-veiveiua mei hoku tuʻá—ko e leʻo ʻo Tōmasi S. Monisoní.
Naʻá ne pehē mai, “Tieta, ʻoua te ke teitei fakakaukau ki ai.”
ʻOku ʻikai ke u vete au ha meʻa, ka ʻoku ou tui naʻe ʻilo pē ʻe Palesiteni Monisoni ʻeku fakakaukaú.
