Ngaahi Faingataʻa Fakalaumālié

ʻOua naʻá ke tuku ke fusi hifo koe ʻe he angahalá. Ko homou taimí ʻeni—tuʻu mālohi ko e ākonga ʻo e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí.

ʻOku ou talitali lelei kimoutolu he pongipongí ni—tautau tefito ki he toʻu kei talavaou ʻoku mou fakatou ʻi heni ʻi he Senitā Konifelensí pea mo e funga ʻo e māmaní. ʻOku mou kau ʻi ha toʻu tangata kuo fili mo ha ikuʻanga pau, pea ʻoku fakatautautefito ʻeku leá kiate kimoutolu.

Lolotonga haʻamau ʻaʻahi ʻi he taʻu lahi kuo hilí ki homau fāmili ʻi Folōlitá, kuo tō ha ʻahiohio ʻo ʻikai fuʻu mamaʻo meiate kimautolu. Naʻe ʻalu ai ha fefine, naʻe nofo ʻi ha kalavana, ki hono fale kaukaú ke hao. Naʻe kamata ke ngalulu e kalavaná. Ne ʻosi ha taimi siʻi. Pea naʻá ne fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo hono kaungāʻapí: “Ko au ʻeni ʻi he loki ʻi muʻá.” Naʻá ne ʻohovale lahi ʻi heʻene hū mai mei he fale-kaukaú, ʻo ʻilo ta naʻe hiki ʻe he ʻahiohió ʻa ʻene kalavaná ʻo tukuhifo fakalelei pē ʻi he funga kalavana ʻa hono kaungāʻapí.

Siʻoku kaungāmeʻa kei talavou, he ʻikai aʻu fiemālie atu ʻa e māmaní ki he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí. ʻOku fakahā ʻe he folofolá “ʻe moveuveu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.”1 Naʻe pehē ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi, “Naʻe fakahā kiate au ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e Siasí ni, ʻe mafola, tupulekina, tupu mo fakalahi ʻa e Siasí, pea fakatatau mo e mafola ʻa e Siasí ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga he māmaní, ʻe pehē pē ʻalu hake ʻa e mālohi ʻo Sētané.”2

Ko e meʻa ʻoku toe fakahohaʻa lahi ange ʻi he ngaahi mofuike mo e ngaahi tau3 kuo kikité ko e ngaahi matangi fakalaumālie ʻoku mālohi feʻunga ke ʻave koe mei ho fakavaʻe fakalaumālié mo lava ke ʻave ho laumālié ki ha ngaahi feituʻu naʻe ʻikai ke ke teitei fakakaukau ki ai, pea ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku ʻikai ke ke faʻa fakatokangaʻi hono ʻave koé.

Ko e ngaahi faingataʻa kovi tahá ko e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻa e filí. Kuo hoko maʻu pē faiangahalá ko e konga ʻo e māmaní, ka kuo teʻeki ai ha taimi ʻe maʻungofua, faingaataʻa ke fakatōliaʻi, pea faingofua pehē ai hono talí. ʻOku ʻi ai foki ha ivi mālohi kuo fakamoʻoniʻi te ne ikunaʻi ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e angahalá. ʻOku ui ia koe fakatomalá.

ʻOku ʻikai ke ke fakatupu e ʻahiohio kotoa pē ʻi he moʻuí. ʻOku hoko ʻa e niʻihi koeʻuhí ko e fili hala ʻa e niʻihi kehé pea hoko ʻa e niʻihi he ko e moʻui moʻui fakamatelié ʻeni.

Naʻe puke ʻa Palesiteni Poiti K. Peeka ʻi heʻene kei siʻí ʻi he mahaki ko e polioó. Ko e taimi naʻe taʻu fitu ai ʻa ʻEletā Tāleni H. ʻOakesí, ne mālōlō fakafokifā ʻene tangataʻeikí. Ko e taimi naʻe taʻu hongofulu tupu ai ʻa Sisitā Kalo F. Makongikī ʻo e kau palesitenisī lahi ʻo e Kau Finemuí, ne vete ʻene ongomātuʻá. ʻE hoko mai ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻá kiate koe, ka ʻi hoʻo falala ki he ʻOtuá, te nau lava ʻo fakamālohia hoʻo tuí.

ʻI natulá, ko e ʻuluʻakau ʻoku fakaʻau ʻo mālohi ange ʻoku tupu hake ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu havilí. Ko e taimi ʻoku havilingia aí ha kiʻi fuʻu ʻakau, ʻoku fai ʻe he mālohi ʻi lotó ha meʻa ʻe ua. ʻUluakí, ʻoku nau fakaʻaiʻai ʻa e ngaahi aká ke nau tupu vave ange mo mafola mamaʻo atu.

ʻOkú ke matuʻaki mahuʻinga ange ki he ʻOtuá ʻi ha fuʻu ʻakau. Ko Hono foha pe ʻofefine koe. Naʻá Ne ngaohi ke mālohi ho laumālié pea malava ke matuʻuaki e ngaahi ʻahiohio ʻo e moʻuí. ʻE lava ke fakatupulaki hoʻo mālohi fakalaumālié ke mateuteu ki he ngaahi taʻu ka hokó ʻe he ʻahiohio ʻi hoʻo ʻi he toʻu tupú ʻo hangē ko ha matangi ki ha fuʻu ʻakaú.

Te ke teuteu fēfē ki he ngaahi ʻahiohió? “Manatu … makatuʻunga ʻi he maka ʻo hotau Huhuʻí, ʻa ia ko Kalaisi, ko e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, kuo pau ke mo langa ai ho mo makatuʻungá; koeʻuhí ka tuku atu ʻe he tēvoló ʻa ʻene ngaahi matangi mālohí, … ʻio, ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngahaú ʻi he ʻahiohió, ʻio, ka faʻaki kiate kimoua ʻa e kotoa ʻo ʻene ngaahi ʻuha maká mo e fuʻu afā lahí, ʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻe ia ʻa e mālohi … ke fusi hifo ʻa kimoua … koeʻuhí ko e maka kuo langa ai ʻa kimouá.”5 Ko hoʻo maluʻanga ʻeni ʻi he ʻahiohió.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni: “Kuo ʻosi atu e taimi ia naʻe meimei fenāpasi lelei ai e tuʻunga moʻui ʻa e Siasí pea mo e sosaietí, ka kuó na faikehekehe lahi ʻeni kinaua pea ʻoku fakaʻau pē ke toe lahi ange.”6 ʻOku langaki ʻe he vanu ko ʻení ʻi ha niʻihi ʻo ha ngaahi faingataʻa fakalaumālie. Tuku ke u vahevahe atu ha sīpinga.

Naʻe pulusi ʻe he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻi he māhina kuo ʻosí ha tohi ki he kau taki ʻo e Siasí he funga ʻo e māmaní. Ko hano konga naʻe pehē: “He ʻikai hanga pea he ʻikai lava ʻe he ngaahi liliu ʻi he lao fakapuleʻangá ke ne liliu e fono kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ki he angamaʻá. ʻOku finangalo ʻa e ʻOtuá ke tau poupouʻi mo tauhi ʻEne ngaahi fekaú neongo e kehekehe ʻa e fakakaukaú pe ngaahi tōʻonga moʻui ʻa e sōsaietí. ʻOku mahino ʻene fono ʻo e angamaʻá: ʻoku toki taau pē ʻa e feohi fakasekisualé ʻi ha vahaʻa ʻo e tangata mo ha fefine kuó na mali ʻi he founga totonu mo fakalaó ko ha husepāniti mo ha uaifi. ʻOku mau naʻinaʻi atu ke mou toe fakamanatu mo akoʻi ki he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí e tokāteline ʻoku hā ʻi he “Ko e Fāmilí: Ko Ha Fanongonongo ki Māmani.”7

ʻI he mavahe ʻa e māmaní mei he fono ʻa e ʻEikí ki he angamaʻá, ʻoku ʻikai ke tau pehē. Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Monisoni: “Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻui ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa ʻEne ʻi he māmaní ka naʻe ʻikai ʻo e māmaní Ia. ʻE lava foki ke tau ʻi he māmaní kae ʻikai ʻo māmani ʻa kitautolu, ʻi heʻetau fakasītuʻaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau mo e akonaki halá ka tau tauhi totonu ki he fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá.”8

Lolotonga hono toe fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga lahi mo e fakafoʻituituí e nofomalí, ʻoku teʻeki fai pehē ʻa e ʻEikí. Ne fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he kamataʻangá ʻa e malí ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e tangatá mo e fefiné—ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi. Naʻá Ne fakataumuʻa e nofomalí ke mahulu atu ʻi he fakafiemālieʻi fakatāutahá mo e fiemālie ʻa e kakai lalahí ke mahuʻinga ange, pea ʻi ha tuʻunga maʻolunga e feituʻu totonu ke fāʻeleʻi, tanumaki mo ohi ai e fānaú. Ko e fāmilí e koloa ʻo e langí.9

Ko e hā ʻoku hokohoko atu ai ʻetau talanoa ki he meʻá ni? Hangē ko e lea ʻa Paulá, “Kae ʻikai ʻi heʻemau siofia ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hā maí, ka ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai hā maí.”10 ʻI heʻemau hoko ko e kau ʻAposetolo ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ko homau fatongiá ke akoʻi e palani ʻa hotau Tupuʻangá maʻa ʻEne fānaú pea mo fakatokanga ki he ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo e taʻe-tokanga ki Heʻene ngaahi fekaú.

Pea ne u maʻu e tohi ko ʻení mei ha kaungāmeʻa lelei ko ha mēmipa mālohi ʻo e Siasí, ‘ʻOku fie maʻu ke ke ngaʻunu mo e taimí. ʻOku liliu e ngaahi meʻá pea ʻoku totonu ke pehē mo koe.’

Naʻá ne pehē, “Ne ʻikai ke u fakafetau ka naʻe ʻikai ke u toʻo ʻeku fakamatalá.”

Naʻá ne fakaʻosi ʻo pehē: “Hangē ko e lea ʻa Palesiteni Monisoní, ‘ʻKo e taimi ʻe niʻihi, kuo pau ke ke tuʻu tokotaha ai.’ Fakatauange pē, te tau tuʻu fakataha ko e toʻu tupu ʻi he mateakiʻi ʻo e ʻOtuá pea mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻa ʻEne kau palōfita moʻuí.”11

ʻOku mau tokanga makehe kiate kinautolu ʻoku fefaʻuhi mo e fetokangaʻaki e tangata mo e tangata pe fefine mo e fefiné.

Naʻe akoʻi kitautolu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ke tau anga ʻofa ʻo ʻikai ki hotau kaungāmeʻá pē ka kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ke tau tui tataú ʻo aʻu pē kiate kinautolu ʻoku fakafisingaʻi kimoutolú. Naʻá Ne pehē, “He kapau ʻoku mou ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate kimoutolú, ko e hā ʻa e totongi te mou maʻú? … Pea kapau ʻoku mou feʻofoʻofani mo homou kāingá pē, ʻoku lelei lahi hake ia?”14

Kuo fakatonga mai ʻa e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ke tau “tokanga telia ʻa e fie māʻoniʻoní” pea tau ʻofa ki he tangata mo e fefine kotoa kae ʻoua kuo tau ongoʻi “ʻetau loto ke puke mai ʻa kinautolu ki hotau umá.”15 ʻOku ʻikai ha feituʻu ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ki he lauʻikoviʻí, fakamālohí pe filifilimānakó.

Kapau ʻoku ʻi ai haʻo fehuʻi ki he faleʻi mei he kau taki ʻo e Siasí, kātaki ʻo talanoa totonu ki hoʻo hohaʻá mo hoʻo mātuʻá mo e kau takí. ʻOkú ke fie maʻu ʻa e mālohi ʻoku maʻu mei he falala ki he kau palōfita ʻa e ʻEikí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Hāloti B.

Ko e maluʻi mālohi ʻe taha mei he ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e moʻuí ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.

Ko e taimi naʻe taʻu hongofulu tupu ai ʻa Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingí, naʻe hiki hono fāmilí ki ha kolo kehe. Naʻe ʻuluaki taʻe-fakafiemālie ki ai ʻa e hikí ni pea siʻi hono kaungāmeʻá.

Naʻá ne tuku hono iví ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻo toutou lau ia.17 Ne ʻosi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi mei ai, ne fakamoʻoni ʻa Palesiteni ʻAealingi ʻo pehē: “ʻOku ou [saiʻia ke] toe foki ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ke toutou keinanga fakalaumālie mei ai.”18 “Ko e fakamoʻoni mālohi taha ia ʻoku tau maʻu kuo tohi ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí.”19

Kuo ʻosi ʻoatu ʻe he ʻEikí kiate koe ha founga ʻe taha ke tuʻu maʻu ai, ko ha meʻaʻofa fakalaumālie ʻoku mālohi ange ʻi he matangi ʻa e filí! Naʻá ne folofola, “Tuʻu … ʻi he ngaahi potu toputapú, pea ʻoua ʻe hiki mei ai.”20

Ko e taimi naʻá ku kei taʻu hongofulu tupu aí, ko ha temipale pē ʻe 13 ʻi he Siasí. ʻOku 142 he taimí ni. Ko e peseti ʻe valungofulu mā nima ʻo e kāingalotú ʻoku nau nofo ʻi loto he maile ʻe 200 (kilomita ʻe 320) mei ha temipale.

Kuó ke tuʻu nai ʻi ha loto temipale, teunga hina, ʻo tatali ke fakahoko e papitaisó? Ko e hā naʻá ke ongoʻí? ʻOku ʻi ai ha ongoʻi mahino ʻo e māʻoniʻoní ʻi he loto temipalé. ʻOku lolomi ʻe he melino ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻa e ngaahi langalanga- matangi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e māmaní.

ʻOku hoko ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke ongoʻi ʻi he temipalé ko e sīpinga ʻo e meʻa ʻokú ke fie maʻu ke ongoʻi ʻi hoʻo moʻuí.21

Te mou ako lahi ange ʻa mui ʻi he temipalé kau ki he Fakatupu ʻo e māmaní, ki he ngaahi sīpinga ʻi he moʻui ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIví, pea mahuʻinga tahá ki hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí.

Siʻoku kāinga kei talavou, ʻoku mau ʻofa, tanganeʻia mo lotua kimoutolu. ʻOua naʻá ke tuku ke fusi hifo koe ʻe he angahalá. Ko homou taimí ʻeni—ke tuʻu mālohi ko e ākonga ʻo e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí.24

ʻI hoʻo fai iá, ʻoku ou palōmesi atu te ke vakai ki he tuʻunga totonu ʻo e ngaahi faingataʻa—ko e ngaahi sivi, ʻahiʻahi, takiakiʻi mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ke tokoniʻi koe ke tupulaki. Pea ʻi hoʻo moʻui angatonu ʻi he taʻu takitaha, ʻoku ou fakapapauʻi atu ʻe toutou fakamahino kiate koe ʻe hoʻo aʻusiá ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí. ʻE fefeka mo tuʻu maʻu ange ʻa e maka fakalaumālie ʻokú ke tuʻu aí. Te ke fiefia kuo ʻomai koe ʻe he ʻEikí ko e konga ʻo e teuteu fakaʻosi ki he liuaki nāunauʻia ʻa Kalaisí.

Naʻe folofola ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, “ʻE ʻikai te u tuku ke tuenoa ʻa kimoutolu: te u haʻu kiate kimoutolu.”25 Ko ʻEne talaʻofa ʻeni kiate kimoutolú. ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku moʻoni ʻa e talaʻofá ni. ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻokú Ne moʻui, ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻēmeni.
