Fuaʻiʻakaú
Fakatefito pē hoʻomou tokangá mo homou lotó ʻi he Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí pea mo e fiefia taʻengata ʻoku maʻu pē meiate Iá.
ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku mou fakakaukau ki aí! ʻOku toe pē ha tokotaha lea ʻe taha pea tau fanongo meia Palesiteni Nalesoni. ʻI heʻeku fakaʻamu ke mou tokanga mai ʻi ha kiʻi miniti siʻi lolotonga ʻetau tali ki hotau palōfita ʻofeiná, kuó u fili ai ha tefito ʻoku fuʻu fakamānako: ko ʻeku kaveingá ko e fuaʻiʻakaú.
Kuo hoko e lanu, fōtunga, mo e melie ʻa e ngaahi fuamelié, siainé, melení, mo e mangó, pe ko e fuaʻiʻakau mei he ngaahi fonua mulí ʻo hangē ko e kivanó pe pomikalānite ko ha fuaʻiʻakau fiemaʻua.
Lolotonga e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻi he māmaní, naʻá Ne fakafehoanaki ʻa e fuaʻiʻakau leleí ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku taʻengata hono mahuʻingá. Naʻá Ne folofola: “Te mou ʻilo ʻa kinautolu ʻi honau ngaahi fuá.”1 “ʻOku tupu ʻi he ʻakau lelei kotoa pē ʻa e fua lelei.”2 Naʻá Ne poupouʻi kitautolu ke tau tānaki “ʻa e fua ki he moʻui taʻengatá.”3
Naʻe mamata ʻa Līhai ʻi ha misi ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi lelei mei he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻokú ne tuʻu ʻi ha “feituʻu maomaonganoa fakapoʻuli mo fakataʻelata.” ʻOku ʻi ai ha vai ʻuli, ʻao fakapoʻuli, ngaahi hala ngali kehe, mo ha ngaahi hala naʻe tapu, pea pehē ki ha vaʻa ukamea 4 ʻi ha hala ʻoku fāsiʻi mo lausiʻi pea tataki ki ha fuʻu ʻakau fakaʻofoʻofa ʻoku [lelei hono] “fuá [ke ne] ngaohi ha taha ke fiefia.” ʻOku pehē ʻe Līhai ʻi heʻene fakamatalaʻi ʻene misí, “Naʻá ku … kai ʻi hono fuá; … ʻoku melie ʻaupito ia ʻo laka hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuó u kai ai ʻi muʻá. … [Pea] naʻe fakafonu ʻe ia ʻa hoku laumālié ʻaki ha fuʻu fiefia lahi.Ko efuá ni naʻe “lelei ange ia ʻi [ha toe] fua kehe.”5
Ko e ʻUhinga ʻo e ʻAkaú mo e Fuá
Ko e hā ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he fuʻu ʻakau ko ʻení mo hono fua maʻongoʻongá? ʻOkú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e “ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá”6 pea fakahaaʻi ʻa e palani fakaofo ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ki he huhuʻí. “He naʻe ʻofa pehē ʻa e ʻOtuá ki māmani, naʻá Ne foaki hono ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupú, koeʻuhí ko ia kotoa pē ʻe tui kiate iá ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha, kae maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá.”7
ʻOku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he fua maʻongoʻongá ni ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki fakaofo ʻo e Fakalelei taʻemafakatataua ʻa e Fakamoʻuí. He ʻikai ngata ʻi heʻetau toe moʻui hili ʻa ʻetau moʻui fakamatelié, ka ʻi heʻetau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí, fakatomala, pea tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekaú, ʻe lava ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻetau ngaahi angahalá pea tuʻu ʻi ha ʻaho kuo tau maʻa mo haohaoa ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻetau Tamaí mo Hono ʻAló.
ʻOku fakafofongaʻi foki ‘e hono kai ko ia ʻo e fua ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú ʻoku tau tali lelei e ngaahi ouau mo e fuakava ʻo e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí—ʻa e papitaisó, maʻu e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, pea hū ʻi he fale ʻo e ʻEikí ke fakakoloaʻaki e mālohi mei ʻolungá. ʻOku fakafou ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí pea ʻi hono fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá, ʻa ʻetau maʻu ʻa e talaʻofa taʻemafakatataua ko ia ʻo e nofo mo hotau fāmili angatonú ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻītanití.8
Tā neʻineʻi ke fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻāngeló ʻa e fuá ʻoku “fakafiefia taha ia ki he laumālié.”9 ʻOku moʻoni pē ia.!
Ko e Faingataʻa ʻo e Tuʻumaʻu ʻi he Moʻoní
Hangē ko ia kuo tau ʻilo kotoá, ʻoku ʻikai faingofua ke tuʻu maʻu ʻi he moʻoní mo faivelenga ki he ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí neongo kuo tau ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa e fua maʻongoʻonga ʻo e ongoongolelei taʻengata kuo fakafoki maí. Hangē ko ia ʻoku toutou lea ʻaki ʻi he konifelenisí ni, ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻetau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi meʻa fakahohaʻa mo kākā, puputuʻu mo moveuveu, fakatauele mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻoku nau feinga ke toʻo hotau lotó mei he Fakamoʻuí mo e fiefia mo e fakaʻofoʻofa kuo tau aʻusia ʻi he muimui kiate Iá.
Koeʻuhi ko e faingataʻa ko ʻení, ne ʻi ai foki ha fakatokanga ʻi he misi ʻa Līhaí ʻOku ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e vaitafé ha fuʻu fale lahi mo ʻataʻatā ʻoku ʻi ai ha kakai ʻo e toʻu kotoa pē ʻoku nau tuhu takai holo, ʻo manuki mo fakakata ʻaki e kau muimui angatonu ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.
ʻOku fakaanga pea kataʻi ʻe he kakai ʻi he falé ʻa kinautolu ʻoku tauhi e ngaahi fekaú, ʻo ʻamanaki ke fakaongoongokoviʻi mo lumaʻi ʻenau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne ongoongoleleí. Pea koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi lea fakaveiveiua mo tāufehiʻa kuo fai ki he kakai tuí, ko e niʻihi kuo nau ʻosi ʻahiʻahiʻi e fuá ne kamata ke nau maaʻi e ongoongolelei ne nau ʻosi talí. ʻOku hanga ʻe he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻo e māmaní ʻo fakaheeʻi kinautolu; ʻoku nau tafoki mei he fuʻu ʻakaú mo e fuá pea, hangē ko e lau ʻa e folofolá, ʻo nau “tō atu ki ha ngaahi hala tapu ʻo [nau] puli.”10
ʻI hotau kuongá ni, ʻoku ngāue taʻetūkua ʻa e filí ke fakalahi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakamāmaní ʻi he fuʻu fale lahi mo ʻataʻataá. Kuo mafola atu e fakalahi ko ʻení ʻi he māmaní, ʻo ʻamanaki ke ʻātakaiʻi hotau ngaahi ʻapí, lolotonga iá ʻoku ongo leʻolahi mai ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō ʻa e leʻo ʻo e kau manukí mo e kau tāufehiʻá ʻi he ʻinitanetí.11
Naʻe fakamatala ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻo pehē, “ʻOku liunga fā e feinga ʻa e filí ke uesia ʻetau fakamoʻoní mo taʻofi e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí.”12 Tau manatuʻi muʻa e lea ʻa Līhaí: “Naʻe ʻikai te mau tokanga kiate kinautolu.”13

Ko e Tui ʻa Seisoni Halé
ʻI Suné, ne u ʻalu ai mo hoku uaifi ko Kefi ki he meʻafakaʻeiki ʻo Seisoni Halé. Naʻá ne taʻu 48 ʻi he taimi ne mālōlō aí, pea naʻá ne hoko ko ha palesiteni ʻo e kōlomu kaumātuʻá.
Ko e fakamatala ʻeni ʻa Seisoni ki ha meʻa naʻá ne liliu ʻene moʻuí.
“[ʻI hoku taʻu 15] ne hoko ha fakatuʻutāmaki kiate [au] ʻi haʻaku uku. … Ne [lavea lahi] hoku kiá peá u mamatea mei hoku fatafatá ʻo aʻu ki he konga ki laló. Ne ʻikai ke u toe lava ʻo ueʻi hoku ongo vaʻé pea vaivai mo hoku ongo nimá. Naʻe ʻikai ke u toe lava ʻo lue, tuʻu, … pe fafangaʻi pē au. Ne ʻikai ke u mei lava ʻo mānava pe lea.”14
“Ne u tautapa, ‘ʻE Tamai [ʻi Hevani], kapau pē ʻe lava ke u fakaʻaongaʻi hoku ongo nimá, ʻoku ou ʻilo te u ikunaʻi ʻeni. Fakamolemole, Tamai, fakamolemole. …
“…‘ʻE Tamai, tuku pē hoku ongo vaʻé; ʻoku ou [lotua] pē ke ngāue hoku ongo nimá.’”15
Ne ʻikai pē ke ngāue e ongo nima ʻo Seisoní. ʻOkú ke fanongo nai ki he ngaahi leʻo mei he fuʻu fale lahi mo ʻataʻataá? “ʻE Seisoni Hale, ʻoku ʻikai fanongo atu e ʻOtuá ki hoʻo lotú! Kapau ko e ʻOtuá ko ha ʻOtua ʻofa, ʻoku lava fēfē nai ke Ne tuku peheʻi koe? Ko e hā ʻokú ke tui ai kia Kalaisí?” Naʻe fanongo ʻa Seisoni Hale ki honau leʻó ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne tokanga ki ai. Ka naʻá ne keinanga ʻi he fua ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú. Naʻe tuʻu taʻeueʻia ʻa ʻene tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻá ne ʻosi mei he ʻunivēsití pea mali mo Kōleti Koleimani ʻi he Temipalé, ʻo ne fakamatalaʻi ia ko e ʻofaʻanga ʻo ʻene moʻuí.16 Hili ha taʻu ʻe 16 ʻo e nofomalí, ne hoko ha toe mana ʻe taha, ne fanauʻi mai hona foha mahuʻinga ko Koleimaní.
Naʻá na fakatupulaki fēfē ʻa ʻena tuí? Naʻe pehē ʻe Kōleti, “Naʻá ma falala ki he palani ʻa e ʻOtuá. Pea naʻá ne ʻomi ha ʻamanaki lelei kiate kimaua. Naʻá ma ʻilo ʻe [ʻi ai e ʻaho ʻi he kahaʻú ] ʻe kakato ai e moʻui ʻa Seisoní. … Naʻá ma ʻilo ne ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtuá ha Fakamoʻui maʻa maua, ʻa ia ʻoku malava ai ʻe Heʻene feilaulau fakaleleí ke ma maʻu ha ʻamanaki lelei he taimi ʻokú ma loto-foʻi aí.”17
ʻI he lea ʻa e taʻu 10 ko Koleimaní ʻi he meʻafakaʻeiki ʻo Seisoní, naʻá ne pehē ne akoʻi ange ʻe heʻene tamaí, “[ʻoku] ʻi ai ha palani ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní maʻatautolu, ʻe lelei ʻa e moʻuí ʻi māmani, pea ʻe lava ke tau nofo ko ha ngaahi fāmili. … Ka … te tau foua ha ngaahi faingataʻa pea fakahoko ha ngaahi fehalaaki.”
Ne hoko atu ʻa Koleimani ʻo pehē: “Ne fekauʻi mai ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ʻa Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsuú ki māmani. Ko Hono fatongiá ke haohaoa. Ke fakamoʻui e kakaí. Ke ʻofaʻi kinautolu. Pea ke mamahi koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá, loto-mamahí, mo e angahalá. Peá Ne pekia maʻatautolu. Ne toe pehē atu leva ʻe Koleimani, “Koeʻuhí naʻá Ne fakahoko ʻeni, ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ou ongoʻi he taimi ní.
“Hili ha ʻaho ʻe tolu e pekia ʻa Sīsuú, naʻá Ne … toe moʻui ʻi ha sino kuo haohaoa. ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻeni kiate au he ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe … haohaoa e sino ʻeku [tamaí] pea te mau toe fakataha ko ha fāmili.”
Naʻe fakaʻosi ʻe Koleimani: “Talu mei heʻeku kei pēpeé, ne talamai ʻe heʻeku tamaí he pō kotoa pē, ‘ʻOku ʻofa ʻa Teti mo e Tamai Hēvaní ʻiate koe, pea ko ha kiʻi tamasiʻi lelei koe.’”18
ʻOku Maʻu e Fiefiá Koeʻuhí ko Sīsū Kalaisi
Ne fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku maʻu ai ʻe he fāmili Halé ʻa e fiefiá mo e ʻamanaki leleí. Naʻá ne pehē:
“ʻOku siʻi ha kaunga ʻa e fiefia ʻoku tau maʻú, mo e tūkunga ʻetau moʻuí pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tukutaha ki ai ʻetau tokangá.
“ʻI hono tukutaha ʻetau tokangá ʻi he palani ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he fakamoʻuí … pea mo Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne ongoongoleleí, te tau lava ʻo ongoʻi fiefia ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e hā e meʻa ʻoku hoko—pe ʻikai ke hoko—ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. ʻOku maʻu ʻa e fiefiá meiate Ia. Ko Ia e tupuʻanga ʻo e fiefia kotoa pē. …
“Kapau te tau sio ki he māmaní … , he ʻikai pē ke tau aʻusia ʻe kitautolu ia e fiefiá. … Ko e [fiefiá] ko ha meʻaʻofa ia ʻoku maʻu mei he feinga moʻoni ke moʻui angatonú, ʻo hangē ko ia ne akoʻi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisí.”19
Ko ha Talaʻofa ʻi Hoʻo Fokí
Kapau kuo fuoloa hoʻo mamaʻo mei he fua ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú, kātaki ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻoku mafao atu maʻu pē ʻa e toʻukupu ʻo e Fakamoʻuí kiate koe. ʻOkú Ne folofola mai ʻi he angaʻofa, “Fakatomala pea haʻu kiate au.”20 ʻOku lahi fau ʻa ʻEne ʻofá pea ʻoku mahutafea. He ʻikai lava ke fakatau ʻaki ia ha paʻanga, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakafisingaʻi ha taha ʻoku holi moʻoni ki ai.21
Kapau ʻokú ke loto-holi ke foki ki he fuʻu ʻakaú pea toe ʻahiʻahiʻi hono fuá, kamata ʻaki haʻo lotu ki hoʻo Tamai Hēvaní. Tui kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo e mālohi ʻo ʻEne feilaulau fakaleleí. ʻOku ou palōmesi atu, ʻi hoʻo sio ki he Fakamoʻuí “ʻi he fakakaukau kotoa pē,”22te ke toe maʻu ai ʻa e fua ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú, pea ʻe ifo ke ke ʻahiʻahiʻi, fakafiefia ki ho lotó, “ko e mahuʻinga taha ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa-foaki kotoa pē ʻa e ʻOtuá.”23
ʻI he uike ʻe tolu kuohilí, ne u mamata ki hono fakahaaʻi kakato ʻa e fiefia ʻi he ʻofa ko ia ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, ʻi heʻeku lava atu mo [hoku uaifi ko] Kefí ki hono fakatāpui ʻo e Temipale Lisbon Portugal. Ne fakaʻatā e ngaahi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí ki Potukali ʻi he 1975 ʻi he lava ko ia ke maʻu e tauʻatāina fakalotú. Naʻá ma fiefia fakataha mo e tokolahi ʻo e Kāingalotu fakaʻeiʻeiki ne nau fuofua ʻahiʻahiʻi e fuá ʻi ha taimi ne ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha ngaahi fakatahaʻanga lotu ʻikai ha falelotu, pea ʻikai ha temipale ʻe ofi ange ʻi he maile nai ʻe 1,000 tupu (km ʻe 1,600) koeʻuhí ko e fua maʻongoʻonga ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú ʻoku ʻi he fale ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi Lisiponi, Potukali he taimí ni. ʻOku ou fakaʻapaʻapaʻi pea ʻofaʻi e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ko ʻeni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní kuo nau tauhi maʻu ki he Fakamoʻuí.
