Ko Hotau Tauhisipi Leleí
ʻOku fiefia ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻa hotau Tauhisipi Leleí, ʻi he vakai ʻoku fakaʻau ke moʻui ʻEne sipi mahamahakí.
ʻOku tau maʻu ha mahino ki he ʻulungaanga ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ʻi heʻetau ʻiloʻi ʻEne manavaʻofa lahi ki he kau angahalá pea tau fakahoungaʻi ʻEne fakafaikehekeheʻi ʻa e angahalá mo e kau faiangahalá. ʻOku tokoni e mahino ko ʻení ke tau maʻu ha “[mahino] tonu ange ki hono ʻulungāngá, haohaoá, mo e natulá”1 pea ko e fakavaʻe ia ʻo hono ngāue ʻaki e tui kiate Iá mo Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOku hanga ʻe he manavaʻofa ʻa e Fakamoʻuí neongo ʻetau ngaahi tōnounoú, ʻo tohoakiʻi kitautolu kiate Ia mo fakaʻaiʻai kitautolu ʻi heʻetau toutou fāifeinga ke fakatomala mo muimui kiate Iá. ʻI heʻetau hoko ʻo hangē ko Iá, ʻoku tau ako ai ke tatau hotau anga ki he niʻihi kehé mo ia ʻokú Ne fakahokó, neongo pe ko e hā ha ʻulungaanga pe tōʻonga moʻui.
Ko e ola ko ia ʻo hono fakafaikehekeheʻi e tōʻonga moʻui ʻa ha tokotaha fakafoʻituitui mei he tokotaha ko iá, ʻoku fakatefito ai e talanoa ko e Les Misérables, naʻe fai ʻe he tokotaha faʻu tohi Falanisē ko Victor Hugo.2 ʻI he kamataʻanga ʻo e talanoá, ʻoku fakafeʻiloaki ai ʻe he tokotaha fakamatalá ʻa Bienvenu Myriel, ko e ʻepikopō ʻo Tikinií, mo fakamatala ki ha palopalema naʻe fehangahangai mo ia. ʻOku totonu nai ke ne ʻaʻahi ki ha tangata naʻá ne fakahā ʻoku ʻikai tui ʻOtua pea ʻoku fehiʻanekinaʻi ʻi he koló koeʻuhí ko ʻene tōʻonga ʻi he kuohilí, ʻi he Tau Fakalotofonua ʻi Falaniseé?3
ʻOku pehē ʻe he tokotaha fakamatalá naʻe lava ke fakanatula pē ʻa e ongoʻi tāufehiʻa ʻa e ʻepikopoó ki he tangatá. Pea ʻomi leva ʻe he tokotaha fakamatalá ha fehuʻi faingofua: “ʻOku totonu nai ke fakatupu ʻe he mele ʻo e sipí ke fakamamaʻo ʻa e tauhisipí?”4 ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he tokotaha fakamatalá ha tali fakapatonu ko e tali maʻá e ʻepikopoó, “ʻIkai”— peá ne toki tānaki atu ha kupuʻi lea tukuhua: “He toki sipi pango moʻoni ia!”5
ʻOku fakafehoanaki ʻe Hiuko ʻi he konga ko ʻení e “angahala” ʻa e tangatá mo e mahamahaki ʻa e sipí kae fakafehoanaki e ʻepikopoó ki ha tauhisipi ʻoku ʻikai fakamamaʻo ʻi haʻane fetaulaki mo ha sipi ʻoku puke. ʻOku fakaʻofaʻia e ʻepikopoó peá ne fakahaaʻi ha manavaʻofa pehē kimui ange ʻi he talanoá ki ha tangata ʻe taha, ʻa ia ʻoku fakatefito ai e talanoá, ko ha tangata naʻe ngāue pōpula ko Sini Vāsini. ʻOku fakaʻaiʻai ʻa Sini Vāsini ʻe he ʻaloʻofa mo e loto-ʻofa ʻa e ʻepikopoó ke liliu ai ʻene tōʻonga moʻuí.
Koeʻuhí ʻoku fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e puké ʻo fakataipe ki he angahalá ʻi he kotoa ʻo e folofolá, ʻoku fakapotopoto leva ke fehuʻi, “Ko e hā e fakafeangai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi Heʻene fefaʻuhi mo ʻetau mahamahakí—ʻetau ngaahi angahalá?” Naʻe pehē foki ʻe he Fakamoʻuí, he ʻikai ke Ne “lava ke mamata ki he angahalá ʻo momoʻi fakaʻatuʻi ia”;6 ko ia ko e hā te Ne lava ai ʻo vakai mai kiate kitautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ke tau haohaoá, taʻe te Ne fakamamaʻo ʻi he ilifia mo e fakaliliʻa?
ʻOku faingofua mo mahino ʻa e talí. ʻI heʻene hoko ko e Tauhisipi Leleí,7 ʻoku vakai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ki he mahamahaki ʻEne sipí ko ha tūkunga ʻoku fie maʻu ki ai ha faitoʻo, tokangaekina, mo e manavaʻofa. ʻOku fiefia ʻa e tauhisipí ni, ʻa hotau Tauhisipi Leleí, ʻi he vakai ʻoku fakaʻau ke moʻui ʻEne sipi mahamahakí.
Naʻe tomuʻa fakahā ʻe he Fakamoʻuí te Ne “fafanga ʻene fanga sipí ʻo hangē ko e tauhí,”8 “kumi kiate ia [ʻoku] molé, … ʻomi ʻa ia [ʻoku] fakaheeʻi atú, … nonoʻo ʻa ia [ʻoku] mafesí, pea … fakamālohia ʻa ia [ʻoku] vaivaí.”9 Neongo naʻe tomuʻa fakahaaʻi ʻe hē ʻa ʻIsileli mei he moʻoní, ʻoku maʻu ʻe he “lavea, mo e volu, mo e pala kovi,”10 ʻo e angahalá, ka naʻe poupou, naʻinaʻi, mo talaʻofa mai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻe fakamoʻui kinautolu.11
Naʻe hāsino moʻoni e ʻofá, manavaʻofá mo e loto-ʻofá ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekau e Fakamoʻuí he māmaní. Naʻe ʻikai ke Ne ʻaʻeva manuki ʻi he ngaahi hala efu ʻo Kāleli mo Siuteá, peá ne holo he sio ki he kau angahalá. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne fakaʻehiʻehi meiate kinautolu ʻi he ilifia.. ʻIkai, naʻá Ne kai fakataha mo kinautolu.12 Naʻá Ne tokoniʻi mo tāpuakiʻi, hiki hake mo fakamāmaʻi, pea fetongi e ilifiá mo e siva e ʻamanakí, ʻaki e ʻamanaki leleí mo e fiefiá. Hangē ko ʻEne hoko ko ia ko e tauhisipi moʻoní, ʻokú Ne fekumi pea ʻilo kitautolu ke fakafiemālieʻi mo ʻomi e ʻamanaki leleí.13 ʻOku tokoni e mahino ʻEne manavaʻofá mo e ʻofá ke tau ngāue ʻaki e tui kiate Iá—ke tau fakatomala pea moʻuí.
ʻOku lekooti ʻe he Kosipeli ʻa Sioné ʻa e ola ʻo e loto-ʻofa ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ki ha tokotaha angahalá. Naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau tangata tohí mo e kau Fālesí ki he Fakamoʻuí ha fefine naʻe moʻua ʻi he tonó. Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he kau talatalākí ʻoku totonu ke tolomakaʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki he fono ʻa Mōsesé. Ne faifai pea tali ange ʻe Sīsū ki heʻenau fakafehuʻi taʻetūkuá, “Ko ia ia ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku taʻeangahalá, ke lī ʻe ia ʻa e fuofua maká ki ai.”
Naʻe mavahe ʻa e kau talatalākí, “pea naʻe toko taha ʻa Sīsū, kae tuʻu ʻa e fefiné ʻi loto.
“Pea [ʻi he] … ʻikai mamata [ʻa Sīsū] ki ha taha ka ko e fefiné pē, pea pehē ʻe ia ki ai, Fefine, ko e fē ʻa kinautolu naʻa nau fakaʻilo koé? ʻoku ʻikai fakahalaia koe ʻe ha taha?
“Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻEiki, ʻoku ʻikai ha taha. Pea talaange ʻe Sīsū kiate ia, Pea ʻoku ʻikai te u fakahalaiaʻi koe: ʻalu pea ʻoua ʻe toe faiangahala.”14
Ko hono moʻoní naʻe ʻikai ke fakanainaiʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻa e tonó. Ka naʻe ʻikai foki ke Ne fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻa e fefiné. Naʻá Ne poupouʻi ia ke liliu ʻene moʻuí. Naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ia ke liliu tuʻunga Heʻene manavaʻofá mo e ʻaloʻofá. ʻOku fakamoʻoni e Liliu ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ʻo e Tohi Tapú, ki he tupuʻanga ʻo hono tuʻunga fakaākongá ʻo pehē: “Pea naʻe fakafetaʻi ʻa e fefiné ki he ʻOtuá talu mei ai, pea tui ki hono huafá.”15
Neongo ʻoku loto-ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá, ka ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke tau maʻu hala ʻo pehē ʻokú Ne tali mo fakanainaiʻi e angahalá. ʻOku ʻikai. Naʻe haʻu e Fakamoʻuí ki he māmaní ke fakahaofi kitautolu mei heʻetau ngaahi angahalá, pea mahulu hake aí, he ʻikai lava ke fakahaofi kitautolu ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahalá.16 Naʻe tuʻo taha e feinga e tangata taukei ko Sisolomé, ke fakatauheleʻi ʻa ʻAmuleki ʻi heʻene fehuʻi ange: “[ʻE] fakamoʻui koā [ʻe he Mīsaia ʻe hāʻele maí] ʻa hono kakaí ʻi heʻenau ngaahi angahalá? Pea naʻe tali ange ʻe ʻAmuleki, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia: ʻOku ou pehē kiate koe, ʻe ʻikai, he ʻoku ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa ʻene folofolá. … ʻOku ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa kinautolu ʻi heʻenau ngaahi angahalá.”17 Naʻe lea ʻa ʻAmuleki ki he moʻoni mahuʻinga ko ia kuo pau ke tau tali e “ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e fakatomalá,” ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakaʻatā e mālohi ʻo e Huhuʻí ke fakahaofi hotau laumālié, kae lava ke fakahaofi kitautolu mei heʻetau ngaahi angahalá.18
ʻOku tohoakiʻi kitautolu ʻe he manavaʻofa, ʻofa, mo e ʻaloʻofa ʻa e Fakamoʻuí kiate Ia.19 Koeʻuhí ko ʻEne Fakaleleí, ʻoku ʻikai ai ke tau toe fiemālie ʻi hotau tuʻunga angahalá.20 ʻOku ʻosi fakamahinoʻi mai ʻe he ʻOtuá e meʻa ʻoku totonu mo fakahōifua kiate Iá mo e meʻa ʻoku hala mo angahalá. ʻOku ʻikai ʻuhinga e meʻá ni koeʻuhí ʻokú Ne finangalo ke ʻi ai ha kau muimui taʻeʻatamai mo talangofua. ʻIkai, ʻoku finangalo ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ke fili ʻEne fānaú ʻi he ʻiloʻilopau mo e loto fiemālie ke hoko ʻo hangē ko Iá21 pea feʻunga mo e faʻahinga moʻui ʻokú Ne fiefia aí.22 ʻI hono fai iá, ʻoku fakakakato ai ʻe Heʻene fānaú honau ikuʻanga fakalangí pea hoko ko e kau ʻea-hoko ki he meʻa kotoa ʻokú Ne maʻú.23 ʻI he ʻuhingá ni, ʻoku ʻikai lava ai e kau taki ʻo e Siasí ʻo liliu e ngaahi fekaú pe tokāteline ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku fepaki mo Hono finangaló, ke fakafaingamālieʻi pe manakoa.
Ka neongo ia, ʻi heʻetau fāifeinga he kotoa ʻetau moʻuí ke muimui kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻoku tautautefito ʻetau akó, mei Heʻene sīpinga ʻo e angaʻofá kiate kinautolu ʻoku faiangahalá. Ko kitautolu ʻa e kau faiangahalá, kuo pau ke tau hangē ko e Fakamoʻuí, ʻo tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé ʻi he manavaʻofa mo e ʻofa. Ko hotau fatongiá foki ke tokoniʻi mo tāpuakiʻi, hiki hake mo fakamāmaʻi, pea fetongi e ilifiá mo e siva e ʻamanakí ʻaki e ʻamanaki leleí mo e fiefiá.
Naʻe valokiʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí e niʻihi fakafoʻituitui ne fakamamaʻo mei he niʻihi kehe naʻa nau vakai ʻoku taʻemaʻá pea loto fakamaau ki he niʻihi kehé tokua ʻoku nau angahala lahi ange ʻiate kinautolú.24 Ko e tefitoʻi lēsoni ia naʻe fakataumuʻa ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ki he niʻihi “naʻa nau falala kiate kinautolu kuo nau māʻoniʻoni, mo nau manukiʻi ʻa e kakai kehé.” Naʻá Ne fai e talanoa fakatātā ko ʻení:
“Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa e ongo tangata ki he fale lotu lahí ke lotu; ko e toko taha ko e Fālesi, pea ko e tānaki tukuhau ʻa e toko taha.
Naʻe tuʻu atu pē ʻa e Fālesí, pea lotu, ʻo pehē, ʻE ʻOtua, ʻoku ou fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻoku ʻikai te u hangē ko e kau tangata kehé, ke fakamālohi, mo taʻeangatonu, mo tono fefine, pe hangē ko e tānaki tukuhaú ni.
“ʻOku liunga ua ʻeku ʻaukaí ʻi he uike, pea ʻoku ou ʻoatu ʻa e tukuhau ʻi heʻeku meʻa fuli pē.
“Ka naʻe tuʻu [pē mei he] mamaʻó … ʻa e tānaki tukuhaú, pea ʻikai faʻa hanga hake hono matá ki he langí, ka naʻe sī-fatafata ia, mo pehē, ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke ʻaloʻofa mai kiate au ko e angahala.”
Naʻe fakaʻosi leva ʻe Sīsū ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa e tangatá ni [tānaki tukuhaú] ki hono falé kuo fakatonuhia ia, kae ʻikai pehē ʻa e toko taha [ʻa e Fālesí]: he ko ia kotoa pē ʻokú ne hiki hake iá, ʻe fakavaivaiʻi ia; pea ko ia ʻokú ne fakavaivaiʻi iá, ʻe hiki hake ia.”25
ʻOku mahino kiate kitautolu ʻa e pōpoakí, ʻoku ʻunuʻunu ofi ange ha tokotaha faiangahala ʻoku fakatomala ki he ʻOtuá, ʻi ha tokotaha fie māʻoniʻoni ʻokú ne fakamalaʻiaʻi e taha faiangahalá.
Naʻe hoko foki ʻi he kuonga ʻo ʻAlamaá ʻa e fakahehema ko ia e tangatá ke fie māʻoniʻoni mo fakamāú. ʻI he kamata ʻa e kakaí “ke langa hake ʻa e siasí ke māʻopoʻopo angé … naʻe kamata ke pōlepole ʻa e kakai ʻo e siasí … [pea] kamata ʻa e kakai ʻo e siasí ke hīkisia ʻi he hīkisia ʻa honau matá, … naʻa nau kamata ai ke femanukiʻaki, ʻiate kinautolu, ʻo nau kamata ke fakatangaʻi ʻa kinautolu naʻe ʻikai ke tui ʻo fakatatau ki honau loto ʻonautolu mo ʻenau faʻitelihá.”26
Naʻe taʻofi ʻa e fakatanga ko ʻení: “Naʻe ʻi ai foki ha lao mamafa ʻi he kakai ʻo e siasí, ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai ha tangata, ʻoku kau ki he siasí, ʻe tuʻu hake ʻo fakatangaʻi ʻa kinautolu naʻe ʻikai ke kau ki he siasí, pea ke ʻoua naʻa ʻi ai ha fefakatangaʻaki ʻiate kinautolu.”27 ʻOku tatau pē ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni fakahinohino ʻi he Siasí ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní. Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻa tau halaia ʻi hono fakatangaʻi ha taha ʻi loto pe ʻi tuʻa ʻi he Siasí.

ʻOku hoko e fakatangá ʻi ha ngaahi founga lahi: fakaangá, fakamamahí, houtamakí, fakamavahevahé mo e liʻekiná, pe tāufehiʻa ki ha taha kehe. Kuo pau ke tau fakafepakiʻi ʻa e kovi ʻo e fakapalatahá ʻa ia ʻoku hoko kiate kinautolu ʻoku kehe ʻenau fakakaukaú. ʻOku hā ha konga ʻo e fakapalatahá ʻi he taʻeloto-fiemālie ke foaki e tauʻatāina tatau ʻo e leá.28 ʻOku maʻu ʻe he tokotaha kotoa pē, kau ai e kakai fakalotú, e totonu ke fakahaaʻi ʻene fakakaukaú ki he kakaí.
