Ko e Ngaahi Temipalé, Ngaahi Fale ʻo e ʻEikí ʻOku ʻi he Ngaahi Feituʻu Lahi ʻi he Māmaní

ʻI hoʻo haʻu moʻui taau mo faʻa lotu ki Hono fale māʻoniʻoní, ʻe lava ke fakateunga koe ʻaki Hono mālohí.

ʻOku mou saiʻia ʻi he ngaahi lea fakaʻofoʻofa naʻa tau toki hivaʻí? “[Te u fakamālohia koe, tokoniʻi koe mo fokotuʻu maʻu koe, … Pukepuke hake koe ʻe hoku nima māʻoniʻoní].” ʻOku fakamālohia ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Hono Kāingalotu ʻi he toʻu kotoa pē ʻi heʻenau omi ki Hono fale māʻoniʻoní. Mei Kinisasa ki Solikofeni ki Fukuoka ki ʻOkalani, ʻoku fili ai ʻa e toʻu tupú, ʻiate kinautolu pē, ke nau fakafonu ʻa e ngaahi faiʻanga papitaiso ʻi he temipalé. ʻI he kuohilí, ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kau ngāue ouau ʻofeiná naʻa nau matuʻotuʻa—ka ʻoku ʻikai ke toe pehē ia. ʻOku ʻi he tuliki kotoa pē ʻa e kau faifekau kuo uiuiʻi, kau faifekau ngāue tokoni, mo e kau ʻosi ngāue fakafaifekau. ʻOku tupulekina ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní ha ongo ʻokú ne tohoakiʻi kitautolu ki he fale ʻo e ʻEikí.

ʻI he taʻu pē ʻe taha kuo ʻosí, naʻe pehē ange ai ʻe ha kaumeʻa mamae ʻo e fāmilí ʻoku taʻu 95, naʻe nofo ʻi he matāfanga fakahahake ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, ʻa ia naʻe akoʻi ʻe he kau faifekaú ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 70, ki hono ʻofefiné, “ʻOku ʻou fie ʻalu mo koe ki he temipalé.”

Naʻe tali ange hono ʻofefiné, “Faʻē, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ke ʻuluaki papitaiso.”

Papitaiso ʻo ha fefine toulekeleka.

Naʻá ne tali ange leva, “Sai, ʻoku ou loto ke papitaiso au.” Naʻá ne papitaiso leva. Naʻe hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, naʻá ne hū ʻi he loto-ʻapasia ki he faiʻanga papitaiso ʻi he temipalé. Pea kimuʻa siʻi pē ʻi he māhina kuo ʻosí, naʻá ne maʻu hono ʻenitaumení mo sila. “ʻOku fakalahi ʻe hotau ʻOtuá ʻa e poto mo e ʻilo ʻa e kakaí; ke nau tali ki Heʻene folofolá ʻo hao ai mei he kovi ʻo māmaní.”

Ko e fefine toulekeleka ʻi tuʻa ʻi he temipalé.

Kuó ke fifili nai pe ko e hā ka fakahinohino ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻEne palōfitá ke fakafonu ʻa māmani ʻi he taimí ni ʻaki Hono ngaahi temipale māʻoniʻoní? Ko e hā ka Ne foaki ai, ʻi he taimi pau ko ʻení, ʻa e koloa ne fiemaʻu ‘e Hono kakai ʻo e fuakavá ʻa ia ʻe malava ʻi heʻenau vahehongofulu toputapú ʻo langa ha ngaahi fale ʻo e ʻEikí ʻe laungeau?

ʻI he pongipongi ní, naʻe fakaʻaliʻali atu ʻe Palesiteni Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ha ʻata fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo e ngaahi temipale ʻoku lolotonga langa ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní. Naʻá ma ʻi Filipaini kimuí ni mo Kefi. Fakakaukau ki he mana ko ʻení: Naʻe fakatapui ʻa e Temipale Manilá ʻi he 1984. ʻE taʻu ʻe 26 pea toki ʻosi ʻa e temipale hono uá ʻi Sepu Sití, ʻi he 2010. ʻI he taimi ní, ko e ʻosi ʻeni ha taʻu ʻe 14 mei ai, kuo langa, palani, pe teuteu ke fakatapui ha ngaahi temipale ʻe 11. Mei he tokelaú ki he tongá: ʻi Laoaka, Tukuekalao, Sanitiako, ʻEtaneta, ʻAlapanga, Naka, Takolopani, Iloilo, Pakoloto,Kakaiani ti Olo, mo Tavao. ʻOku fakaofo ke te mamata ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻa e ʻOtuá!

Ngaahi temipale ʻi Filipainí.

ʻI he tapa kotoa ʻo e kolopé, ʻoku toe ofi ange mai ʻa e ngaahi fale ʻo e ʻEikí kiate kitautolu. Ko e hā ʻoku hoko ai ʻi hotau kuongá?

Ko e Ngaahi ʻAho Fakaʻosí

Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa e ʻEikí ko e ngaahi aho fakaʻosí, ʻe hoko ai ha ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi ʻi he ngaahi puleʻangá, “ʻe ʻofa ʻa e [kakaí] kiate kinautolu pē,” “ʻe moveuveu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē,” ʻe lahi fau ʻa e puputuʻú, pea “ʻe vaivai ʻa e loto ʻo e tangatá.” Kuo tau mamata tonu ʻi he vaivai ʻa e loto ʻo e kau tangatá mo e kau fefiné: ko e fakatauele ʻa e māmaní, ko e fakahohaʻa ʻa e ngaahi leʻo fakaolooló, ko e taʻe-tokanga ke fafangaʻi fakalaumālié, mo e ongosia ʻi he ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻo e tuʻunga fakaākongá. Mahalo kuó ke mamahi ʻi haʻo mamata ki ha taha ʻokú ke ʻofa ai, naʻe lea fakamātoato ʻi ha vahaʻataimi fekauʻaki mo ʻene tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí, fakamoʻoni ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, pea naʻá ne loto-vilitaki ʻi hono langa ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, ka kuó ne hiki fakafokifā, fakataimi pē, mei heʻene tuí ʻo māmālohi ʻi he Siasí. Ko ʻeku faleʻi kiate koé ke ʻoua te ke fakatuʻatamaki! ʻOku lelei ʻa e meʻa kotoa. He ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taʻemalava ʻi he kau mo e ʻOtuá.

ʻI he moveuveu mo e taʻe-tui ko ʻeni ʻi he māmaní naʻe kikiteʻí, naʻe palōmesi ai ʻa e ʻEikí ʻe ʻi ai ha kakai ʻo e fuakavá, ko ha kakai ʻe tatali loto-vēkeveke ki Heʻene toe hāʻele maí, ko ha kakai te nau tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻoniʻoni pea he ʻikai ke nau hiki mei honau tuʻungá. Naʻá Ne folofola fekauʻaki mo ha kakai angatonu ʻoku nau tekeʻi ʻa e ngaahi kākā ʻa e filí, fakatupulaki ʻenau tuí, fakakaukau fakasilesitiale, mo falala kakato ki he Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí.

Ko e hā ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku ʻomi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi he taimí ni Hano ngaahi temipale ʻe laungeau ke ofi ange kiate kitautolú? Koe ʻuhinga ʻe taha he kuó Ne talaʻofa te Ne fakamālohia mo tāpuekina ʻa ʻEne Kāingalotu ʻo e fuakavá ʻi he lotolotonga ʻa e moveuveu mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi ʻo e māmaní, pea ʻoku fakahoko ʻEne ngaahi talaʻofá!

Ngaahi Talaʻofa mei he Temipale Ketilaní

ʻOku fakamālohia, fakafiemālieʻi, mo maluʻi fēfeeʻi kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi fale māʻoniʻoni ko ʻení? ʻOku tau maʻu ha tali ʻi he tautapa ʻa e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi hono fakatapui ʻo e Temipale Ketilaní. Ko e temipale ʻeni naʻe hivaʻi ai ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e “Hiva fakamālō mo e kau ʻāngeló.” Naʻe hā tonu mai ai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, pea hā mai mo e kau palōfita ʻo e kuonga muʻá, ʻo foaki ʻa e ngaahi kī makehe ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ki he ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí.

Ko hono palasitaaʻi ʻo e Temipale Heber Valley Utah.

ʻOku fakaofo ʻa e toʻu tupu ʻo e Siasí ni. ʻOku nau toʻo kiate kinautolu ʻa e huafa ʻo Kalaisí, ʻi ha māmani ʻoku faingataʻa. Naʻe fakahoko ha fakataha mo e kakaí ʻi Hiipa Siti, ʻIutā, ke aleaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakaikiiki ʻo ha temipale naʻe palani ke langa. Naʻe fakafonu ʻe ha toʻu tupu ʻe toko tolungeau ʻa e taʻuʻanga meʻalele ʻi he tafaʻakí ke fakahaaʻi ʻenau poupou ki he temipale naʻe teu ke langá.

Ko e fakafonu ʻe he toʻu tupú ha paʻake ʻi Hiipa Siti.

Kau ʻĀngelo ʻi Hotau Lotolotongá

Naʻe lotu ʻa e Palōfita ko Siosefá ʻi he Temipale Ketilaní ke “tokangaʻi ʻa [ʻEne Kāingalotú] ʻe [he] kau ʻāngeló.” ʻOku ou tui pau ʻoku hanga ʻe hono fakahoko maʻu pē ʻa e ngaahi ouau maʻa ʻetau ngaahi kuí ʻi he temipalé ʻo ʻomi ha fakamahino fiefia mo pau ʻoku hoko atu ʻa e moʻuí ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e veilí.

Neongo ko ha konga lahi ʻo ʻetau ngaahi aʻusia ʻi he fale ʻo e ʻEikí ʻoku fuʻu toputapu ke vahevahe mo e kakaí, ka te tau lava ʻo vahevahe ha niʻihi. ʻI he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu kuohilí, lolotonga ʻema nofo ʻi Folōlitá, naʻá ma ō ai mo Kefi ki he temipale ʻi ʻAtalanitā, Siosiaá. ʻI he pō Pulelulu, ʻaho 9 ʻo Mē 1984, ʻi he ʻosi ʻema sēsini ʻi he temipalé, naʻe haʻu ha tokotaha ngāue ouau ʻo ʻeke mai pe ʻoku ʻi ai haʻaku taimi ke fakahoko ha foʻi ouau ʻinisitoli teuteu ʻe taha.

ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻe fonu ʻa e temipalé ʻi he Kāingalotú. ʻI heʻeku teuteu ke fakahoko ʻeku ʻenitaumeni hono ua ʻo e ʻaho ko iá, naʻe ʻomai kiate au ʻa e hingoa ʻo e tokotaha te u fakafofongaʻí. Ko e meʻa naʻe fakaʻohovalé, he ko e hingoá ko e tokotaha tatau pē ia mei he pō kimuʻá, ko ʻEliesa Keesi. Naʻá ku ongoʻi ʻa e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi he kakato ʻo e ʻenitaumení. Kimui ange ʻi he hoʻatā ko iá, lolotonga kei ʻi he temipalé pē, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe Kefi ha kaumeʻa matuʻotuʻa ʻo e fāmilí, ko Sisitā Toli Fenanitesi, ʻa ia naʻá ne nofo ʻi he taimi ko ʻení ʻi ʻAtalanitā. Koeʻuhí ko e ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha kau mēmipa tangata ʻi hono fāmilí, naʻá ne kole mai pe ʻe lava ke u tokoni ʻi he silaʻi ʻo ʻene tangataʻeikí ki he ongomātuʻa ʻo ʻene tangataʻeikí.

ʻOku foaki ʻa e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní kiate kitautolu ʻi hono hilifakinima kitautolu ko e mēmipa ʻo e Siasí. ʻI heʻetau maʻu ʻi he moʻui taau ʻa e maá mo e vaí ʻi he uike takitaha ko ha fakamanatu ʻo hotau Fakamoʻuí, ʻoku talaʻofa mai ʻe ʻiate kitautolu maʻu ai pē ʻa Hono Laumālié. ʻI heʻetau omi loto-fiemālie ki he fale ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻa e potu māʻoniʻoni taha ʻi māmaní, ʻoku tau tupulaki ai ʻi he ʻEikí mo lava ʻo “maʻu [lahi ange] ʻa hono kakato ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.” ʻI he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻoku fakafonu kitautolu ʻaki ʻa e nonga mo e fiefia pea mo ha ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku ʻikai mafakamatalaʻi. ʻOku tau maʻu ʻa e ivi ke kei hoko ko ʻEne kau ākonga neongo ʻetau mavahe mei he ngaahi potu māʻoniʻoní.

Kuo fakahā ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M.
