Faaitaha ʻi Hono Fakahoko e Ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá

Ko e founga lelei taha ke fakahoko ai e meʻa ʻoku tau malava fakalangí ko e ngāue fakataha, pea tāpuekina ʻaki e mālohi mo e mafai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.

Koeʻuhí ko ha maama foʻou ʻeni kiate kinaua, ne lahi e meʻa ke na sio aí, ko ia ai ne fakamānako e ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi heʻena feohi mo e fanga manú mo vakai takai ki hona ʻātakai fakaʻofoʻofá. Ne tuku foki kiate kinaua ha ngaahi fekau ke na talangofua ki ai pea ʻi ai ha founga kehekehe ʻo e faipau ki he ngaahi fakahinohino ko iá, ʻo kamata ke hoko ai e hohaʻa mo e puputuʻu. 1 Ka ʻi heʻena fai e fili ne liliu ai ʻena moʻuí ʻo taʻengatá, naʻá na ako ke ngāue fakataha mo faaitaha ʻi hono fakahoko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá ne fakataumuʻa kiate kinaua—mo hono kotoa ʻEne fānaú.

Fakakaukau angé ki he ongomātuʻa tatau ko ʻení ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié. Naʻe pau ke na ngāueʻi ʻena meʻakaí, pea fakakaukau ha fanga manu ʻe niʻihi ko ʻenau meʻakaí kinaua, pea ʻi ai mo e ngaahi pole faingataʻa ne toki lava pē ke ikunaʻi ʻi heʻena lotu mo e talatalaifale fakatahá. ʻOku ou tui ne ʻi ai e taimi ne kehekehe ai ʻena fakakaukau ki he anga hono fakaleleiʻi e ngaahi pole ko iá. Ka neongo ia, naʻá na ako mei he Hingá ʻa e mahuʻinga ke ngāue ʻi he uouongataha mo e ʻofá. ʻI he fakahinohino naʻá na maʻu mei he ngaahi maʻuʻanga fakamatala fakalangí, ne akoʻi kiate kinaua e palani ʻo e fakamoʻuí mo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ngāue lelei ai e palaní. Koeʻuhi ne mahino kiate kinaua ʻoku faitatau pē e taumuʻa ʻo ʻena ʻi he māmaní mo e taʻengatá, naʻá na fiemālie mo lavameʻa ʻi heʻena ako ke ngāue fakataha ʻi he ʻofa mo e māʻoniʻoni.

Ko hono akonekina ʻe ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ʻena fānaú

ʻI hono maʻu ʻena fānaú, ne akoʻi leva ʻe ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ki hona fāmilí e meʻa naʻá na ako mei he kau talafekau fakalangí. Ne tukutaha ʻena tokangá ke tokoniʻi ʻena fānaú ke mahino mo nau tali e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ia te nau fiefia ai ʻi he moʻui ní, mo mateuteu ke foki ki heʻenau ongomātuʻa fakalangí hili hono fakatupulaki e meʻa ʻoku nau malavá mo fakamoʻoniʻi ʻenau talangofua ki he ʻOtuá. Ne ako ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi mei he meʻá ni ke na houngaʻia he kehekehe hona mālohingá mo fetokoniʻaki ʻi heʻena ngāue mahuʻinga ʻoku taʻengatá. 2

Hili ha ngaahi senituli mo ha lauʻi taʻu, ne fakakeheʻi e fatongia fakalangi mo pau ʻo e fefalalaʻaki ʻa e tangatá mo e fefiné tupu mei he fakamatala hala mo fetaʻemahinoʻakí. ʻI he vahaʻataimi fakafiefia ko ia ʻo e kamataʻanga he Ngoue ʻo ʻĪtení mo e taimi ní, kuo ola lelei e taumuʻa mo e feinga ʻa e filí ke fakamavahevaheʻi e kakai tangatá mo e houʻeiki fafiné ʻi heʻene feinga ke ikunaʻi hotau laumālié. ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe Lusifā te ne lava ke fakaʻauha e ongoʻi uouangataha ʻa e tangatá mo e fefiné, kapau te ne ʻai ke tau puputuʻu ʻi hotau mahuʻinga fakalangí mo e ngaahi fatongia fakafuakavá, pea ʻe ola lelei ʻene fakaʻauha e ngaahi fāmilí, ʻa ia ko e ʻiuniti mahuʻinga ia ʻo ʻitānití.

ʻOku ngāue ʻaki ʻe Sētane e fakatauhoá ko ha meʻangāue ke fakatupu ʻaki ha ongoʻi māʻolunga pe maʻulalo ange, ke fūfuuʻi e foʻi moʻoni taʻengata ko ia ʻoku faka-ʻOtua mo mahuʻinga tatau ʻa e faikehekehe ko ia ʻi he tangatá mo e fefiné.

ʻI he taimi ne loto ai e houʻeiki fafine ʻo e Siasí he 1842 ke fokotuʻu ha kulupu fakaʻofisiale ke tokoni ki he ngāué, ne ueʻi fakalaumālie ʻa Palesiteni Siosefa Sāmita ke fokotuʻu kinautolu ʻi he “tataki ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻo fakatatau ki he sīpinga ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.” 4 Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku ou tuku atu kiate koe ʻa e kií ʻi he huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá …—ko e kamataʻanga ʻeni ʻo ha ngaahi ʻaho lelei ange.” 5 Pea talu hono fakaʻaongaʻi ʻo e kī ko iá, kuo kamata ke lahi e ngaahi faingamālie fakaako, fakapolitikale, mo fakaʻekonōmika maʻá e houʻeiki fafiné ʻi he māmaní. 6
