Ko e Leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí

ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni kuo tau fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi he konifelenisí ni. ʻOku siviʻi kitautolu he anga ʻetau fakafeaangaí.

ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni atu ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí, ʻokú Ne tataki ʻa e ngāue toputapu ko ʻení, pea ko e konifelenisi lahí ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi taimi mahuʻinga ʻaupito kuó Ne ʻomi ai e fakahinohino ki Hono Siasí pea mo kitautolu fakataautaha.

Ke Akoʻi mei ʻOlunga

ʻI he ʻaho ne fokotuʻu ai e Siasí, ne fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ko ha palōfita, tangata kikite, mo ha ʻaposetolo ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí1, peá Ne folofola ki he Siasí:

“Ke mou tali ʻene leá, ʻo hangē ko e lea ia mei hoku ngutu ʻoʻokú, ʻi he kātaki mo e tui kotoa pē.

“Koeʻuhí ʻi hoʻomou fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni ʻe ʻikai ikuna ʻa kimoutolu ʻe he ngaahi matapā ʻo helí; … ʻio, pea ʻe fakamovetevetea atu ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi mālohi ʻo e fakapoʻulí ki muʻa ʻiate kimoutolu, pea pule ke ngalulululu ʻa e ngaahi langí koeʻuhi ko hoʻomou leleí.”2

Ne hikinimaʻi mo fakanofo kimui ʻa e kau mēmipa kotoa ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, mo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ko ha kau palōfita, kau tangata kikite mo e kau tangata maʻu fakahā.3

ʻI heʻetau fakataha mai he tataki ʻa Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoní, ʻoku tau vēkeveke ke tau fanongoa “e finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí, … ko e fakakaukau ʻa e ʻEikí, … ko e leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí, pea mo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ki he fakamoʻuí.”4 ʻOku tau falala ki Heʻene talaʻofá: “Neongo pē ko e fai ia ʻi hoku leʻo pē ʻoʻokú pe ʻi he leʻo ʻo ʻeku kau tamaioʻeikí, ʻoku tatau ai pē.”5

ʻOku mahuʻinga ki heʻetau tupulaki fakalaumālié mo e kātakí ke tau falala mo tui ki he ngaahi lea ʻa e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ʻi he taimi ʻo e moveuveu mo puputuʻu ʻo hotau māmani fakaeonopōní.6

Kuo tau fakataha mai ki he konifelenisi fakaʻofoʻofá ni. ʻOku kau mai ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻangá mo lau e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻo e konifelenisí ʻe ha Kāingalotu ʻe laui miliona, kae pehē ki he ngaahi tui fakalotu kehé, ʻi ha fonua ʻe 200 tupu, ʻoku nau leaʻaki ha ngaahi lea fakafonua lahi ange he 93.

ʻOku tau omi hili ha lotu mo ha teuteu. ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻoku tau hohaʻa ki ai pea ʻi ai haʻatau ngaahi fehuʻi vivili. ʻOku tau loto kotoa ke fakafoʻou ʻetau tui ki hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí, mo fakamālohia ʻetau malava ke matuʻuaki e ʻahiʻahí pea fakaʻehiʻehi mei hano tohoakiʻi ʻetau tokangá. ʻOku tau haʻú ke akonekina kitautolu mei ʻolunga.

Ko e Fakakaukau mo e Finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí

Ko ha kavenga hohoko mo ha falala toputapu ʻa e fatongia lahi ko hono teuteuʻi ʻe he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Ua ʻa ʻenau ngaahi pōpoakí, he ʻoku nau lea he konifelenisi kotoa pē.

ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kuohilí, kimuʻa peá u hoko ko ha Taki Māʻolungá, ne u ʻeke kia ʻEletā Tāleni H. ʻOakesi pe ʻokú ne teuteu ha lea kehekehe ki he konifelenisi fakasiteiki takitaha. Naʻá ne talamai ʻoku ʻikai, peá ne toe pehē mai, “Ka ʻoku kehe ʻeku ngaahi lea ki he konifelenisi lahí ʻaʻaku ia. ʻOku meimei ke u tohi ha fakaangaanga ʻe 12 ki he 15 ʻeku leá ke fakapapauʻi ko e meʻa ʻoku ou lea ʻakí ko e meʻa ia ʻoku finangalo e ʻEikí ke u lea ʻakí.”7

Ko e fē leva e taimi mo e founga ʻoku maʻu ai e ueʻi fakalaumālie ki he lea ʻo e konifelenisi lahí?

ʻOku ʻikai vahe ngaahi tefito ia, ka ʻoku tau mātā hono fakafekauʻaki ʻe langi e ngaahi taumuʻá mo e kaveinga ʻo e moʻoni taʻengata takitaha ʻi he konifelenisi kotoa pē.

Ne talamai ʻe ha taha hoku Ngaahi Tokouá naʻá ne maʻu pē ʻe ia ʻene kaveinga ki he konifelenisi ko ʻení hili ʻene lea ʻi ʻEpelelí. Ne pehē ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi he uike ʻe tolu kuo ʻosí, naʻá ne kei lotua mo tatali ki he ʻEikí. ʻI hono ʻeke pe ko e hā hono fuoloa hano teuteu ha lea ongo moʻoni, ne talamai ʻe ha tokotaha, “Taʻu ʻe uofulu mā nima.”

ʻOku ʻi ai e taimi ʻe maʻu vave ai e tefitoʻi fakakaukaú, ka ʻoku kei fie maʻu pē ha ngāue fakalaumālie lahi ki he fakaikiikí mo hono uhó. Ko e lotú mo e ʻaukaí, akó mo e tuí, ko ha konga pau ia ʻo e founga ngāué. ʻOku ʻikai ke fie maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ha fakangalingali te ne holoki ai Hono leʻo ki Hono Kāingalotú.

ʻOku faʻa ʻomi e fakahinohino ki he lea ʻi ha konifelenisi lahí he poʻulí pe hengihengí, he taimi ʻoku taumamaʻo ai e leá mei he fakakaukau ʻa e ʻatamaí. ʻOku fakafokifā pē e hū mai ha fakakaukau taʻeʻamanekina, pea taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku hū mai ha ngaahi foʻi lea mo ha kupuʻi lea pau ʻo hangē ha fakahā haohaoá.8

ʻI hoʻomou fanongó, mahalo ʻe fuʻu fakalūkufua e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻoku mou maʻú, pe kuo ʻai pē ia ke feʻunga tonu mo koe.

ʻI haʻaku lea he ngaahi taʻu kuohilí ʻi ha konifelenisi lahi, ne u fakamatalaʻi ai ha kupuʻi lea ne hū ki hoku ʻatamaí ʻi heʻeku fifili pe ne u mateuteu nai ke ʻalu ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau. Ko e kupuʻi leá ʻeni: “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi e meʻa kotoa pē, ka ʻoku feʻunga pē ʻa hoʻo ʻiló!”9 Ne talamai ʻe ha finemui ne ʻi he konifelenisi lahí he ʻaho ko iá, naʻá ne lotua ha tali ki ha kole mali, mo ne fifili pe ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi lelei nai e talavoú. ʻI he taimi ne u lea ai ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai te ke ʻiloʻi e meʻa kotoa pē, ka ʻoku feʻunga pē ʻa hoʻo ʻiló,” naʻe fakapapau ange leva ʻe he Laumālié kiate ia naʻefeʻunga pē ʻene ʻilo ki he talavoú. Kuo taʻu lahi ʻena nofo mali fiefia.

ʻOku ou palōmesi atu ʻi hoʻo teuteuʻi ho laumālié, pea haʻu fakatuʻamelié, te ke fanongo ki he leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí, pea ʻe hū atu ha fakakaukau mo ha ongo ki ho ʻatamaí kuo fakafeʻungaʻi pē ia ke feʻunga mo koe. Kuó ke ʻosi ongoʻi ia ʻi he konifelenisí ni, pe te ke maʻu ia ʻi hoʻo ako e ngaahi pōpoakí he ngaahi uike ka hoko maí.

Ki he Taimí Ni mo e Ngaahi Māhina ka Hokó

Kuo pehē ʻe Palesiteni Monisoni:

“Tuku ha kiʻi taimi ke lau ai e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻo e konifelenisí.”10

“Fakalaulauloto kiate [kinautolu]. … Kuó u fakatokangaʻi … ʻoku lahi ha ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou ako mei he ngaahi malanga fakalaumālie ko ʻení he taimi ʻoku ou ako fakamātoato ange ai kinautolú.”11

Ko e ngaahi akonaki ʻo e konifelenisi lahí, ko e ngaahi fakakaukau ia ʻoku tuku mai ʻe he ʻEikí maʻatautolu he taimí ni pea ʻi he ngaahi māhina ka hokó.

ʻOku “ʻalu muʻomuʻa [ʻa e tauhisipí] ʻi [heʻene fanga sipí], pea ʻoku muimui ʻa e sipí ʻiate ia: he ʻoku nau ʻilo hono leʻó.”12

ʻOku faʻa hanga ʻe Hono leʻó ʻo fakahinohinoʻi kitautolu ke liliu ha meʻa ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. ʻOkú Ne fakaafeʻi kitautolu ke tau fakatomala. ʻOkú Ne fakaafeʻi kitautolu ke tau “muimui ʻiate Ia.”

Fakakaukau ki he ngaahi lea ko ʻeni mei he konifelenisi ko ʻení;

Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi he pongipongí ni: “ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni ʻoku moʻui ʻa e ʻOtua ko e Tamaí mo finangalo ke ke haʻu kiate Ia. Ko e Siasi moʻoni ʻeni ʻo e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOkú Ne ʻafioʻi koe, ʻokú Ne ʻofa ʻiate koe, pea ʻokú Ne tokangaekina koe.”13

Mei ʻaneafi, naʻe pehē ai ʻe Palesiteni Tieta F. ʻUkitofa: “ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni ko e taimi ʻoku tau fakahoko pe hokohoko atu ai ʻetau fononga fakaofo ko ia ki he ʻOtuá, ʻe toe lelei ange ai ʻetau moʻuí … pea ʻe fakaʻaongaʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi ha ngaahi founga fakaofo ke faitāpuekina e niʻihi ʻoku tau feohí mo fakahoko ʻEne ngaahi taumuʻa taʻengatá.”14

Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni he hoʻatā ʻaneafí: ʻOku ou palōmesi atu ʻi hoʻo fakaʻutumauku fakaʻaho he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻe lava ke maluʻi koe mei he ngaahi kovi ʻo e kuongá, kau ai e haʻahaʻa fakalilifu ʻo e ponokalafí mo e ngaahi maʻunimā ʻokú ne holoki e tuʻunga fakalaumālié.”15

Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEletā Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ʻaneafi: “ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni ko e fanongonongo fekauʻaki mo e fāmilí, ko ha fakamatalaʻi ia ʻo ha moʻoni taʻengata, ko e finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí ki Heʻene fānau ʻoku fekumi ki he moʻui taʻengatá.16

Naʻe toki pehē ʻe ʻEletā M. Lāsolo Pālati he ngaahi miniti siʻi kuohilí: “ʻOku fie maʻu ke tau talitali lelei ʻi he manavaʻofa e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea siʻaki ʻa e loto fakamāú, laulanú, filifilimānakó mo e fakavahavahaʻá.”17

Koeʻuhí ʻoku kei toe ʻetau taimí, ʻoku ou fie tānaki atu ha kiʻi manatu nounou fekauʻaki mo ʻEletā Lōpeti T. Heili. Naʻe fakahā ʻe he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí kia ʻEletā Heili, te ne lava ʻo fai ha kiʻi pōpoaki nounou ʻi he fakatahaʻanga ʻo e pongipongi Sāpaté, kapau ʻe siʻi ongoʻi sai ki ai. Ka naʻe ʻikai siʻi sai ki ai, neongo naʻá ne teuteu ha pōpoaki ʻo ne fakaʻosi ia he uike kuo ʻosí, peá ne vahevahe mo au. Koeʻuhí ne toki siʻi mālōlō he houa ʻe tolu kuohilí, te u vahevahe atu pē ha kupuʻi lea nounou mei heʻene leá.

Ko e meʻa ʻeni ne tohi ʻe ʻEletā Heilí: “ʻI heʻetau fili ke maʻu ʻa e tuí, ʻoku tau mateuteu ai ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá. … Hili hono tutuki ʻo e Fakamoʻuí, naʻá Ne hā pē kiate kinautolu naʻa nau ʻfaivelenga ʻi heʻenau fakamoʻoni [kiate Iá], lolotonga ʻenau ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié.’ T&F 138:12 Ko kinautolu ne ‘fakafisingaʻi e ngaahi fakamoʻoni … ʻa e kau … palōfitá, [heʻikai lava] ke nau ʻi he ʻao [ʻo e Fakamoʻuí], pe mamata ki hono fofongá.’ [T&F 138:21.] … ʻOku teuteuʻi kitautolu heʻetau tuí ke tau ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí.”

Ne angaʻofa moʻoni ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo ueʻi ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni he fakaʻosinga ʻo e fakataha ʻaneuhú, ke ne mavahe fakatovave mei falé ni, ʻikai ke ne maʻumeʻatokoni hoʻatā, ka ne fakatovave ki he tafaʻaki ʻo ʻEletā Heilí, ke ne ʻi ai tonu, ko e palesiteni ia ʻo e kōlomú, fakataha mo Mele Heili, ʻi he mavahe atu ʻa ʻEletā Heili mei he moʻui fakamatelié.

Ko e Tali ki he Leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí

ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni kuo tau fanongo mo ongoʻi e leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi he konifelenisí ni.

ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke tau ofo ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakafehokotaki ai ʻe he ngaahi pōpoaki ʻa e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo e ʻEikí ʻa e fakakaukau ʻo e māmaní, pea pehē ki heʻetau fakakaukau pē ʻatautolú. Kuo pehē maʻu ai pē ia. ʻOku ou tūʻulutui mo hoku Ngaahi Tokouá ʻi he temipalé. ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni ki he laumālie lelei ʻoku nau maʻú. Ko ʻenau holi lahi tahá ke fakahōifua ki he ʻEikí mo tokoni ki he fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá ke nau toe foki hake ki Hono ʻaó.

Kuo tānaki mai ʻe he Kau Fitungofulú, Kau Pīsopelikí, Kau Palesitenisī Lahi ʻo e Fineʻofá, Kau Finemuí, Palaimelí, mo e kau taki kehe fakahoualotú, ha ʻilo fakalaumālie lahi ki he konifelenisí ni, pea pehē ki he hiva mo e ngaahi lotu fakaʻofoʻofá.

Tuku ke u vahevahe atu ha aʻusia fekauʻaki mo hono tali e ngaahi pōpoaki fakaepalōfitá, mei he moʻui ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoní:

ʻI he 1979, ko ha taʻu ia ʻe nima kimuʻa pea ui ʻa Misa Nalesoni ko ha Taki Māʻolungá, naʻá ne kau atu ki ha fakataha kimuʻa he konifelenisi lahí. “Ne hanga ʻe Palesiteni Sipenisā W.
