ʻOku fakaafeʻi kitautolu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí, ʻi he ʻaho takitaha, ke tukuhifo ʻetau fiemālié mo e malú, pea kau fakataha mo Ia ʻi he fononga fakaākongá.
Fekauʻaki mo e Hōpití (Hobbits)
ʻOku kamata ha talanoa faʻufaʻu manakoa ʻa e fānaú naʻe tohi ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi kimuʻa ʻaki e sētesi ʻoku pehē, “Naʻe nofo ha kiʻi hōpiti ʻi ha luo he kelekelé.”1
ʻOku fekauʻaki e talanoa ʻo Pilipo Peakiní mo ha kiʻi hōpiti angamaheni pea taʻeʻiloa naʻe ʻoange ki ai ha faingamālie makehe—ko ha faingamālie fakaofo ke fononga, pea mo ha talaʻofa ʻo ha pale maʻongoʻonga.
Ko e palopalemá, he ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e fanga hōpití ʻoku nau tokaʻi pē kinautolu pea ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fie kau ki ha fononga. Ko ʻenau moʻuí ke fiemālie pē. ʻOku nau manako ke maʻu meʻatokoni tuʻo ono he ʻaho ʻo ka faingamālie, pea nofo pē ʻi heʻenau ngoué ʻo talanoa mo e kau ʻaʻahí, hiva, tā meʻalea, mo fiefia ʻi he meʻa angamaheni ʻo e moʻuí.
Ka neongo iá, ʻi hono fakahā kia Pilipo e fakakaukau ʻo ha fononga fakaofó, naʻe toʻoa ai hono lotó. ʻOku mahino kiate ia mei he kamataʻangá ʻe faingataʻa e fonongá. Pea aʻu ʻo fakatuʻutāmaki. ʻE malava pē ke aʻu ki ha tuʻunga he ʻikai ke ne toe foki.
Ka naʻe toʻoa lahi hono lotó ʻe he ui ki ha fonongá. Pea ko ia ai, naʻe mavahe atu e kiʻi hōpiti taʻeʻiloá ni mei he fiemālié, ʻo fou atu ʻi he hala ki ha fononga fakaofo te ne ʻave ia “ki ai pea toe foki mai.”2
Ko Hoʻo Fonongá
Mahalo ko e taha e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku ongo ai ki he tokolahi e talanoá ni, he ko hotau talanoá foki ia.
ʻI he ngaahi taʻu lahi kuohilí, kimuʻa pea fanauʻi kitautolú, ʻi ha taimi fuoloa fau kuo ngalo ʻi heʻetau manatú, naʻe fakaafeʻi foki mo kitautolu ke tau kau atu ki ha fononga. Naʻe fokotuʻu mai ia ʻe he ʻOtuá, ko ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní. ʻE ʻuhinga hono tali e fononga ko ʻení ke mavahe mei he fiemālie mo e malu ʻo e nofo ʻi Hono ʻaó. ʻE ʻuhinga ia ke haʻu ki māmani ki ha fononga fonu ʻi he ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki mo e ʻahiʻahi taʻeʻiloá.
Naʻa tau ʻiloʻi he ʻikai faingofua ia.
Ka naʻa tau ʻiloʻi foki te tau maʻu ai ha ngaahi mataʻikoloa mahuʻinga, kau ai ha sino fakamatelie mo aʻusia e fiefia mo e mamahi lahi ʻo e moʻui fakamatelié. Te tau ako ke feinga, fekumi, pea faingataʻaʻia. Te tau ʻiloʻi ha ngaahi moʻoni kau ki he ʻOtuá mo kitautolu.
ʻIo, naʻa tau ʻiloʻi te tau fakahoko ha ngaahi fehalaaki lahi ʻi he fonongá. Ka naʻa tau maʻu foki ha talaʻofa: koeʻuhí ko e feilaulau maʻongoʻonga ko ia ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻe lava ke tau maʻa mei heʻetau ngaahi maumau-fonó, fakafoʻou mo fakahaohaoaʻi hotau laumālié, pea toetuʻu mo fakataha ʻi ha ʻaho mo kinautolu ʻoku tau ʻofa aí.
Naʻa tau ʻilo ki he lahi e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻiate kitautolú. Naʻá Ne ʻomi e moʻuí peá Ne finangalo ke tau lavameʻa. Ko ia ai, naʻá Ne teuteuʻi ha Fakamoʻui maʻatautolu. Naʻe folofola ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ʻo pehē, “Ka neongo iá, ʻoku ngofua ke ke fili maʻau, he ʻoku foaki ia kiate koe.”3
ʻOku pau pē naʻe ʻi ai ha ʻū konga ʻo e fononga fakamatelié naʻe fakatupu hohaʻa pea aʻu ʻo ilifia ai e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá, he ko e tokolahi hotau fanga tokoua mo e tuofāfine fakalaumālié naʻe ʻikai ke nau fili ki ai.4
Ka ʻi he meʻaʻofa mo e mālohi ʻo e tauʻatāina ke filí, naʻa tau fakapapauʻi ai naʻe mahuʻinga e meʻa te tau ala ako mo aʻusia taʻengatá, neongo ʻene faingataʻá.5
Pea ko ia, ʻi heʻetau falala ki he ngaahi talaʻofa mo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá mo Hono ʻAlo ʻOfaʻangá, naʻa tau tali ai e polé.
Naʻá ku tali ia.
Pea pehē foki kiate koe.
Naʻa tau loto-lelei ke mavahe mei he malu ʻo hotau ʻuluaki tuʻungá pea kamata ʻetau fononga maʻongoʻonga “ki ai pea toe foki maí.”
Ko e Ui ki he Fonongá
Ka neongo iá, ʻoku faʻa lava ke takihalaʻi kitautolu ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié, ʻikai ko ia? ʻOku faʻa ngalo ʻetau fononga fakaofó, ʻo tau saiʻia ange ʻi he fiemālié mo e faingofuá, kae ʻikai ko e tupulakí mo e fakalakalaká.
Ka ʻoku kei ʻi ai pē ha meʻa he ʻikai lava ke fakaʻikaiʻi, ʻoku loloto ʻi hotau lotó, ʻo holi ki ha taumuʻa māʻolunga mo fakaʻeiʻeiki ange. Ko e holi ko ʻení ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻe taha ʻoku tohoakiʻi mai ai e kakaí ki he ongoongoleleí mo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOku hoko e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí ʻi ha founga, ko ha fakafoʻou ʻo e ui fononga naʻa tau tali kimuʻa atú. ʻOku fakaafeʻi kitautolu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí, ʻi he ʻaho takitaha, ke tukuhifo ʻetau fiemālié mo e malú, pea kau fakataha mo Ia ʻi he fononga fakaākongá.
ʻOku lahi ha ngaahi faingataʻa taʻeʻiloa ʻi he halafonongá ni. ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi tafungofunga, teleʻa, mo e hala kehe. Mahalo naʻa ʻi ai foki ha fakataipe ʻo ha fanga hina, fanga kiʻi ʻinisi e ono, pea naʻa mo ha talākoni ʻe taha pe ua. Ka ʻo kapau te ke nofo maʻu ʻi he halá pea falala ki he ʻOtuá, ʻe faifai pē peá ke ʻiloʻi e hala ki ho ikuʻanga nāunauʻiá pea foki ai ki ho ʻapi fakalangí.
ʻE fēfē leva hoʻo kamatá?
ʻOku faingofua pē ia.
Ofeʻi Ho Lotó ki he ʻOtuá
ʻUluakí, ʻoku fie maʻu ke ke fili ke ofeʻi ho lotó ki he ʻOtuá. Feinga ʻi he ʻaho takitaha ke kumi kiate Ia. Ako ke ʻofa kiate Ia. Pea tuku leva ke ueʻi koe ʻe he ʻofa ko iá ke ke ako, mahino, mo muimui ki Heʻene ngaahi akonakí pea ako ke tauhi e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá. Kuo ʻomi kiate kitautolu e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi kuo fakafoki maí, ʻi ha founga mahinongofua mo faingofua ʻe lava ke mahino ki ha kiʻi tamasiʻi/taʻahine. Ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí e tali ki he ngaahi fehuʻi faingataʻa taha ʻo e moʻuí pea ʻoku lahi mo loloto fau ia, he naʻa mo haʻate ako mo fakalaulaulotoa he kotoa ʻo e moʻuí, ʻe ʻikai lava ke mahino kiate kitautolu naʻa mo hono konga siʻisiʻi tahá.
Kapau te ke momou ʻi he fonongá ni koeʻuhí ko haʻo veiveiua ʻi he meʻa ʻokú ke malavá, manatuʻi ʻoku ʻikai fekauʻaki e moʻui fakaākongá mo e haohaoa hono fakahoko e ngaahi meʻá; ka ʻoku fekauʻaki ia mo e ʻi ai ha taumuʻá. Ko hoʻo ngaahi filí ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi ko hai moʻoni koé, ʻo laka hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻokú ke lavá.6
Naʻa mo e taimi ʻokú ke tōnounou aí, te ke lava ʻo fili ke ʻoua ʻe holomui, ka ke loto-toʻa, vilitaki atu ki muʻa, pea tali ia. Ko e sivi maʻongoʻonga taha ia ʻo e fonongá.
ʻOku ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻikai ke ke haohaoa, pea te ke tōnounou he taimi ʻe niʻihi. Ka ʻoku ʻofa tatau pē ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻiate koe ʻi he taimi ʻokú ke faingataʻaʻia mo lavameʻa aí.
Hangē ko ha mātuʻa ʻofa, ʻokú Ne finangalo pē ke ke feinga pē mo haʻo taumuʻa. ʻOku hangē ʻa e tuʻunga fakaākongá ko e ako ke tā pianó. Mahalo ko e meʻa pē te ke ʻuluaki lava ʻo faí ko hano tā ha foʻi hiva ʻoku fakaofiofi ki he fasi ʻo e “Chopsticks.” Ka ʻo ka hokohoko atu hoʻo akoakó, ʻe lava ke iku e fanga kiʻi fasi faingofuá ki ha ngaahi hiva faingataʻa, ongo mālie, pea fakaofo ʻi ha ʻaho.
Mahalo he ʻikai hoko e ʻaho ko iá ʻi he moʻuí ni, ka ʻe hoko ia. Ko e meʻa pē ʻoku kole ʻe he ʻOtuá, ke ke fāifeinga pē.
Fakahaaʻi ha ʻOfa ki he Niʻihi Kehé
ʻOku ʻi ai ha meʻa mālie, pea meimei fehangahangai mo e hala ko ʻeni kuó ke filí: ko e founga pē ke ke fakalakalaka ai ʻi hoʻo fononga he ongoongoleleí, ko hoʻo tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau fakalakalaka foki.
Ko e tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e hala ki he tuʻunga fakaākongá. ʻOku fakafoʻou kitautolu ʻe he tuí, ʻamanaki leleí, ʻofá, manavaʻofá, mo e ngāue tokoní ʻi heʻetau hoko ko e kau ākongá.
ʻE lava ʻe hoʻo ngaahi feinga ke tokoni ki he masivá mo e faingataʻaʻiá, mo tokoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto-mamahí, ʻo fakahaohaoaʻi mo fakafoʻou ho ʻulungāngá, fakatupulaki ho laumālié, pea te ke faivelenga lahi ange ai.
Ka he ʻikai lava ke maʻu e ʻofá ni ʻi ha ʻamanaki ke maʻu ai ha totongi. He ʻikai lava ke hoko ia ko e faʻahinga ngāue tokoni ʻoku ʻamanaki ke fakamālōʻiá, fakahīkihikiʻí, pea manakoá.
ʻOku ʻofa ʻa e kau ākonga moʻoni ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ki he ʻOtuá mo ʻEne fānaú ʻo ʻikai ʻamanaki ke maʻu ai ha meʻa. ʻOku tau ʻofa ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fakamamahiʻi mo ʻikai saiʻia ʻiate kitautolú. Naʻa mo kinautolu ʻoku nau manukia, ngaohikovia, mo feinga ke fakamamahiʻi kitautolú.
ʻI hoʻomou fakafonu homou lotó ʻaki e ʻofa haohaoa ʻa Kalaisí, ʻoku ʻikai toe ʻi ai ha faingamālie ki he loto-tāufehiʻá, loto-fakamāú, mo hono tukuhifoʻi e niʻihi kehé. ʻOkú ke tauhi e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá he ʻokú ke ʻofa kiate Ia. Pea ʻi hoʻo fakahoko iá, ʻoku fakaʻau māmālie ke faka-Kalaisi ange hoʻo ngaahi fakakaukaú mo e tōʻongá.7 Pea ko e hā mo ha fononga ʻe toe maʻongoʻonga ange heni?

Ka ʻoku tau talanoa kau ki heʻetau fonongá mo e niʻihi kehé ʻi ha ngaahi founga angamaheni. Ko e meʻa ia ʻoku fai ʻe he ngaahi kaungāmeʻá—ʻoku nau talanoa kau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga kiate kinautolú. ʻA e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tuku ai honau lotó pea fakahoko ha liliu ʻiate kinautolú.
