“Ko e Ngaahi Tefitoʻi Moʻoni ʻo ʻEku Ongoongoleleí”

(Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 42:12)

Ko e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí ko ha fakahinohino fakatokāteline ia ki hono ngāue totonu ʻaki ʻo e tauʻatāina ke filí.

ʻI he konifelenisi lahi ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ʻi ʻOkatopa ʻo e 1849, ne uiuiʻi ai ʻa Sione Teila ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ke fakaava e puleʻanga Falaniseé ki hono malanga ʻaki ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻe kau ʻi heʻene ngāué ʻa hono ʻētitaʻi ʻo e ʻuluaki nusipepa fakaʻofisiale ʻa e Siasí ʻi he fonua ko iá. Naʻe teuteu mo pulusi ʻe ʻEletā Teila ha fakamatala ʻi he 1851 ko ha tali ki ha ngaahi fehuʻi ne toutou fakahoko ange kiate ia fekauʻaki mo e Siasí. Pea ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo e fakamatala ko iá, naʻe manatu ʻa ʻEletā Teila ki he konga ko ʻení:

“ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kuohilí, ʻi Nāvū, naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata ʻi he anga ʻeku fanongó, ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Falealeá, naʻá ne fehuʻi kia Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e founga ʻokú ne malava ai ʻo puleʻi ha fuʻu kakai tokolahi fau pea mo tauhi ha tuʻunga mātuʻaki maau pehē; ʻo ne fakamatalaʻi ʻi he taimi tatau ʻenau taʻemalava ke fakahoko ia ʻi ha toe feituʻu kehé. Naʻe tali ange ʻe Misa Sāmita, ne mātuʻaki faingofua hono fakahoko iá. Ne pehē ange ʻe he tangatá, ‘ʻO fēfē? ʻoku faingataʻa fau ia kiate kimautolu.’ Ne tali ange ʻe Misa Sāmita, ‘ʻOku ou akoʻi kiate kinautolu e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni totonú, pea nau takitaha puleʻi pē kinautolu.’”1

ʻOku ou lotua ke fakahinohino mo fakamaama kotoa kitautolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻi heʻeku fakamamafaʻi atu e fatongia ʻo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoní ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi kuo fakafoki maí.

Ngaahi Tefitoʻi Moʻoní

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, “ʻe akoʻi ʻe he kaumātuʻá, kau taulaʻeikí, mo e kau akonaki ʻo e siasi ko ʻení ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo ʻeku ongoongoleleí, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he Tohi Tapú mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa hono kakato ʻo e ongoongoleleí.”2 Naʻá Ne folofola foki ʻoku totonu e Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ke “akonekina ʻa [kinautolu] ʻo kakato ange ʻi he ngaahi tefitoʻi fakakaukau, ʻi he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni, ʻi he tokāteline, ʻi he fono ʻo e ongoongoleleí, ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku kau ki he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻaonga ke mahino kiate [kinautolú].”3

Naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi mahino, ko e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí ko ha fakahinohino fakatokāteline ia ki hono ngāue totonu ʻaki ʻo e tauʻatāina ke filí. ʻOku tupu e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoní mei ha ngaahi moʻoni loloto ange ʻo e ongoongoleleí pea ʻokú ne ʻomi ha fakahinohino mo ha ngaahi tuʻunga moʻui pau ʻi heʻetau vivili atu ki muʻa ʻi he hala ʻo e fuakavá.

Hangē ko ʻení, ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he fuofua Tefito ʻo e Tui ʻe tolú ha ngaahi tafaʻaki mahuʻinga ʻo e tokāteline ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi kuo fakafoki maí: ko e natula ʻo e Toluʻi ʻOtuá ʻi he tefito ʻo e tui hono ʻuluakí, ko e ngaahi nunuʻa ʻo e Hinga ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIví ʻi he tefito ʻo e tui hono uá, pea mo e ngaahi tāpuaki kuo fakaʻatā ʻo fakafou ʻi he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi he tefito ʻo e tui hono tolú.4 Pea ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he tefito ʻo e tui hono faá ʻa e ngaahi ʻuluaki tefitoʻi moʻoní—ʻa e ngaahi fakahinohino ki hono ngāue ʻaki ʻo e tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí pea mo e fakatomalá—pea mo e ngaahi fuofua ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakaʻatā e Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ke tupulaki ʻi heʻetau moʻuí.5

Ko e Lea ʻo e Potó ko ha sīpinga foki ia ʻe taha ʻo e hoko ʻa ha tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ha fakahinohinó. Kātaki ʻo fakatokangaʻi ange e ngaahi veesi talateu ko ʻení ʻi he vahe 89 ʻo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá:

“ʻOku foaki ia ko ha tefitoʻi moʻoni mo hano talaʻofa, ʻa ia ʻoku fakafeʻunga ki he ivi ʻo e vaivaí pea mo kinautolu ʻoku vaivai taha ʻi he kāingalotú kotoa pē, ʻa ia ʻoku faʻa ui pe lava ke ui ko e kau māʻoniʻoní.

“Vakai, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku folofola peheni ʻe he ʻEikí kiate kimoutolu: Ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi kovi mo e ngaahi filioʻi ʻoku ʻi ai pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻi he loto ʻo ha kau tangata kākā ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí, ko ia kuó u fakatokanga ai kiate kimoutolu, peá u tomuʻa fakatokanga kiate kimoutolu, ʻi heʻeku foaki kiate kimoutolu ʻa e lea ʻo e poto ko ʻení ʻi he fakahā.”6

Ko e Tefitoʻi Moʻoni ʻo e Tūkunga ke ʻOua Naʻa Tohoakiʻi ʻa e Tokangá

Naʻe lea ʻa Palesiteni Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ʻi he konifelenisi lahi ʻo e 1998 fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fatongia ʻo e kau maʻu Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné ʻi heʻene fekauʻaki mo hono teuteu mo tufotufa ʻo e sākalamēnití. Naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi ai e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e tūkunga ke ʻoua naʻa tohoakiʻi e tokangá peá ne pehē he ʻikai teitei loto ha tokotaha ʻokú ne maʻu e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné ke ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻi hono fōtungá pe ʻulungāngá te ne tohoakiʻi e tokanga ʻa ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí mei heʻene moihuú pe fakafoʻou ʻo e ngaahi fuakavá. Naʻe fakamamafaʻi foki ʻe Palesiteni ʻOakesi e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni fekauʻaki ʻo e moʻui māú, maʻá, ʻapasiá mo e ngeiá.

Meʻa mālié, ne ʻikai ʻomi ʻe Palesiteni ʻOakesi ha lisi lōloa ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ke fakahoko mo ʻikai fakahoko ʻe he kau talavoú. Ka naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi e tefitoʻi moʻoní mo ʻamanaki ʻe lava pea ʻoku totonu ke fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he kau talavoú mo ʻenau mātuʻá ʻenau fakaʻutoʻuta lelei tahá mo e ueʻi fakalaumālié ke muimui he fakahinohinó.

Naʻá ne pehē: “He ʻikai te u ʻoatu ha ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni fakaikiiki, koeʻuhí ʻoku kehekehe pē e tuʻunga ʻo e ngaahi uooti mo e kolo kehekehe ʻi hotau Siasi fakamāmani lahí ʻa ia mahalo he ʻikai lelei ʻi ha feituʻu ʻe taha ha tuʻutuʻuni pau ʻe fie maʻu ʻi ha feituʻu ʻe taha.

Ko e Tefitoʻi Moʻoni ʻo e Sāpaté ko ha Fakaʻilonga ia

ʻI he konifelenisi lahi ʻo ʻEpeleli 2015, ne akoʻi mai ai ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni “ʻoku fakafiefia ʻa e ʻaho Sāpaté.”8 Naʻá ne fakamatala foki ki he founga naʻe mahino fakataautaha ai kiate ia ha tefitoʻi moʻoni angamaheni hono fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻo e ʻaho Sāpaté:

“ʻOku tau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi fēfē ʻa e ʻaho Sāpaté? ʻI hoku ngaahi taʻu kei talavou angé, naʻá ku ʻilo ai ki ha ngāue ʻa ha kakai kehe naʻa nau fakatahaʻi ha ngaahi lisi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ke fai pea mo ha ngaahi meʻa ke ʻoua ʻe fai ʻi he ʻaho Sāpaté. Naʻá ku toki ako kimui ange mei he folofolá ʻoku hoko ʻeku tōʻonga mo ʻeku fakakaukau ʻi he Sāpaté ko ha fakaʻilonga ʻi hoku vā mo ʻeku Tamai Hēvaní. ʻI he mahino ko iá, ʻoku ʻikai ke u toe fie maʻu ʻa e ngaahi lisi ʻo e meʻa ke fai pe taʻe faí.

ʻOku fakamamafaʻi mai ʻe he fehuʻi mahino ngofua kae mālohi ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoní ha tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻoku tuiaki atu ʻi ha faʻahinga tuʻunga veiveiua fekauʻaki mo e ʻuhinga kae pehē ki he meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau fai ke fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ai e ʻaho Sāpaté. ʻOku fakanounouʻi ʻe heʻene fehuʻí ha fakahinohino mo ha tuʻunga moʻui te ne lava ʻo tāpuekina kitautolu kotoa ʻi hotau ngaahi tūkunga kehekehé.

Ko e Tefitoʻi Moʻoni ʻo e Loto Fiemālie ke Tuku ke Lāngilangiʻia ʻa e ʻOtuá

ʻI he māhina ʻe ono kuohilí ʻi he konifelenisi lahí, naʻe fakamatalaʻi ai ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻene fiefia fakataautaha ʻi hano takiekina ia ki ha mahino foʻou fekauʻaki mo e ʻuhinga ʻo e foʻi lea ʻIsilelí. Naʻá ne pehē ai ne ueʻi hono laumālié ʻi heʻene ʻilo “ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e hingoa ʻIsilelí ki ha tokotaha ʻoku loto-fiemālie ke tuku ke lāngilangiʻia ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene moʻuí”10 Ne fakamatalaʻi leva ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni ha ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ʻoku tupu mei he foʻi fakakaukau ko ʻení.

Ko ʻene pōpoaki fekauʻaki mo e loto-fiemālie ke tuku ke lāngilangiʻia ʻa e ʻOtuá, ko ha sīpinga fakaofo ia ʻo hono akoʻi e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni totonú koeʻuhí kae lava ke tau mapuleʻi kitautolu. Pea hangē ko ia naʻe fakahoko ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni ʻi heʻene pōpoaki fekauʻaki mo hono ngaohi ʻo e ʻaho Sāpaté ke fakafiefiá, naʻá ne fokotuʻu mai ha ongo fehuʻi fekauʻaki mo e tefitoʻi moʻoní ʻa ia ʻoku hoko ko ha fakahinohino mo ha tuʻunga moʻui maʻatautolu takitaha.

“ʻOkú ke loto-fiemālie ke tuku ke lāngilangiʻia ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi hoʻo moʻuí? ʻOkú ke loto-fiemālie ke tuku ke hoko ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e ivi tākiekina mahuʻinga taha ʻi hoʻo moʻuí?”

Naʻá ne hoko atu ʻo pehē:

“Fakakaukau ki hano tāpuekina koe ʻe he faʻahinga loto-fiemālie peheé. Kapau ʻoku teʻeki ke ke mali pea ʻokú ke kumi hao hoa taʻengata, ʻe tokoni hoʻo fakaʻamu ke kau ‘ʻi ʻIsileli’ ke ke fakapapauʻi pe ko hai te ke teiti mo iá mo e foungá.

Ha Kiʻi Fohe ʻUli Siʻisiʻi

ʻI he taimi ne tuku pōpula ai ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ʻi he Fale Fakapōpula Lipetií, naʻá ne fakahoko ha ngaahi tohi fakahinohino ki he kāingalotú mo e kau taki ʻo e Siasí ʻo fakamanatu kiate kinautolu “ʻoku ʻaonga lahi ki he vaka lahí ha kiʻi fohe ʻuli siʻisiʻi ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e matangí, ʻo ka tauhi ʻa e vaká ke fengāueʻaki lelei mo e matangí pea mo e ngaahi peaú.”12
