Feinga Kotoa Pē
ʻI he ʻaho Pulelulu, 6 Nōvema 1985, naʻe sio atu ki tuʻa ʻa ʻAtefi Kepi, ko e palesiteni lahi ʻo e Kau Finemuí, mei he matapā sioʻata ʻo hono ʻōfisí ʻi Sōleki Sití. Naʻe tōmoloto ha fuka ofi mai ko e fakaʻapaʻapa kia Palesiteni Sipenisā W. Kimipolo, ʻa ia naʻe mālōlō ʻi he pō kimuʻá. ʻI he hōloa ʻo e tuʻunga moʻui lelei ʻa e palōfitá, naʻe ʻikai ai ke ne toe ʻasi ki he kakaí ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi, ko ia naʻe ʻikai ke fakaʻohovale ʻa ʻene pekiá. Ka naʻe ongoʻi lahi ʻe ʻAtefi ʻa ʻene mālōloó.
Naʻe maʻu mai ʻa e ongoongó ʻi heʻene teuteu mo e poate lahi ʻo e Kau Finemuí ke fakahoko ʻa e fuofua fakamafola satelaite ʻa e Kau Finemuí. Naʻe fakataimi-tēpileʻi ʻa e fakamafolá ki he Sāpate ko iá, pea naʻe fakakaukau ʻa e kau taki ʻo e Siasí ke kei fakahoko pē ia, neongo ʻa e mālōlō ʻa e palōfitá.
Naʻe lau māhina hono palani ʻe ʻAtefi mo ʻene poaté ʻa e polokalamá. Ke tokoni ke fakafeʻiloaki ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga mahuʻinga foʻou ʻe fitu ʻo e Kau Finemuí, naʻe kole ʻe ʻAtefi kia Seinisi Kepi Peuli, ne tuofefine ʻaki ʻe hono husepānití pea mo ha punake ʻiloa ʻo e Siasí, ke ne faʻu ha hiva ki he fakamafolá. Naʻá ne fekumi foki ki ha ngofua ke faʻu ha makasini makehe ʻo e New Era, ko e makasini ʻa e toʻu tupu ʻo e Siasí, ke paotoloaki lahi ange ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga mahuʻingá.
Hili hono fikaʻi ʻa e fakamole ʻo e makasiní—fakafuofua ki he sēniti ʻe nimangofulu ki he taha—naʻá ne ʻalu kia ʻEletā Lāsolo M. Nalesoni, ko e ʻetivaisa ki heʻene kau palesitenisií ʻi he Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ke fakangofua ʻa e fakamole lahi ko ʻení. ʻI heʻene ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi ʻofefine (ʻo Nalesoni) ʻe toko hivá, naʻá ne feinga ke ʻuhingamālie ʻa e fakamolé. Naʻá ne fehuʻi ange, “ʻEletā Nalesoni, ʻoku sēniti ʻe nimanoa nai ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo ha finemui?”
Naʻe malimali ʻa ʻEletā Nalesoni. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻAtefi, ko koé ko e pauʻu atu ē.” Naʻe fakangofua leva ʻe he Fakataha Alēlea Pule ʻo e Lakanga Fakataulaʻeikí ʻa e makasini makehé pea liliu ia ki ha lea fakafonua ʻe hongofulu mā ono.
ʻI he ʻaho 10 ʻo Nōvemá, ko e hili ia ha ʻaho ʻe taha ʻo e meʻafakaʻeiki ʻo Palesiteni Kimipoló, naʻe fonu ʻa e kau finemuí ʻi he Tāpanekale Sōlekí. Naʻe meʻa ʻi he tuʻunga malangá ʻa e kau palesitenisī lahi ʻo e Fineʻofá mo e Palaimelí, kau taki māʻolunga tokolahi, mo e kau taki ʻo e Kau Finemuí kimuʻá fakataha mo ʻAtefi mo e kau mēmipa ʻo ʻene poaté.
Naʻe fakaava ʻa e fakatahá ʻe ha kuaea ʻo e kau finemui ʻe toko fāngeau ʻaki ʻenau hivaʻi ʻa e “Kau Talavou ʻo Saione,” ko ha himi naʻe faʻu tautautefito maʻá e himi foʻou ʻa e Siasí naʻe pulusi ʻi he māhina ʻe tolu kimuʻa aí. Naʻe fakahoko leva ʻe ʻEletā Nalesoni ʻa e lea ʻuluakí.
Naʻá ne tapou ki he kau finemuí, “Feinga ke ke tuʻumaʻu ʻia Kalaisi ko e ʻEikí. Haʻi fakataha kimoutolu—ʻo tuʻu maʻu ʻi he moʻoní, ala atu ke akoʻi mo fakamoʻoni, ʻo teuteu ke tāpuekina e niʻihi kehé ʻaki e ngaahi fua ʻo e Laumālié.”
ʻI he ʻosi ʻa e lea ʻa Nalesoní, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻAtefi ki he tuʻunga malangá ke fakafeʻiloaki ʻa e moto foʻou ʻa e Kau Finemuí, “Tuʻu ʻi he Moʻoní mo e Māʻoniʻoní,” naʻe fakatefito ʻi he talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he Mōsese 7:62: “Te u ʻai ke tafiʻi ʻa māmani ʻe he māʻoniʻoní mo e moʻoní ʻo hangē ka fai ia ʻaki ʻa e lōmakí.”
Naʻá ne talaange ki he kau finemuí, “Kuo tau ngaʻunu ki ha vahaʻataimi ʻoku fakaʻaliʻali tauʻatāina ai ʻe he filí ʻa hono mālohí, pea ʻoku kākaaʻi ai ʻa e tokolahi. Kapau te nau sio atu kiate kimoutolu, te nau sio nai ki ha meʻa ʻoku makehe mei he māmaní ʻe tokoni ke nau ʻiloʻi ai e hala totonú, moʻoní, mo e hūfangaʻanga ʻoku nau fekumi ki aí? Te mou lava nai ʻo taukaveʻi mo taki muʻa ʻi he angamāʻoniʻoní?”
Naʻe hoko atu ʻa e fakamafolá ki ha vitiō ʻo fakafeʻiloaki ai ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga mahuʻinga ʻe fitú. Ko e hokó, naʻe tuʻu hake ha finemui mei Filipaini ʻo toe lau taha taha ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga mahuʻingá, kae tukuhifo mei he fakafaletoló ha ngaahi tupenu lanu fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo fakafofongaʻi ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni takitaha. Naʻe fakahoko leva ʻe Mōlini Teli ko e tokoni uá, ʻa e kaveinga foʻou ʻo e Kau Finemuí, pea naʻe lau maʻuloto fakataha ia ʻe he haʻofangá:
Ko e ngaahi ʻofefine kitautolu ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní, ʻokú Ne ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu pea ʻoku tau ʻofa ʻiate Ia. Te tau “tuʻu ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē pea ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē” ʻi heʻetau feinga ke moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga mahuʻinga ʻo e Kau Finemuí.
Naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kuaeá ʻa e hiva ʻa Seinisi Kepi Peuli, “I Walk by Faith” pea fakahoko ʻe ʻEletā Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ʻa e lea tukú. Hili iá, naʻe hivaʻi fakataha ʻe he kuaeá mo e haʻofangá ʻa e himi “Fai Atu ʻa e Ngāué,” pea laka hifo ha kau finemui ʻe toko uangeau mo toʻo ha ʻū fuka ʻi he ngaahi lanu ʻe fitú ʻo fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga mahuʻingá.
Naʻe matuʻaki fiefia ʻaupito ʻa ʻAtefi. Naʻá ne tohi ʻi heʻene tohinoá, “Naʻe NĀUNAUʻIA moʻoni ʻa e faeasaiti ʻa e Kau Finemuí!!” Kuo kamata ha kuonga foʻou maʻá e kau finemui ʻo e Siasí.
ʻI he pongipongi hili ʻa e fakamafola ʻa e Kau Finemuí, naʻe tuʻu ʻa e taʻu valungofulu mā ono ko Palesiteni ʻEselā Tafu Penisoní ʻi ha tuʻunga malanga ʻi he ʻŌfisi Pule ʻa e Siasí. Naʻe toki fakanofo pē ia ʻe he Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ko e palesiteni ʻo e Siasí, pea naʻe hokosia ʻa e taimi ke fanongonongo ʻa e ongoongó ki he kautaha ongoongó. Naʻe tangutu ʻi hono tuʻá ʻa hono ongo tokoni ʻi he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, ʻa Kōtoni B. Hingikelī mo Tōmasi S. Monisoni. Naʻe fonu ʻi he lokí ʻa e kau faiongoongó mo e ʻū meʻafaitaá.
Hili hono ʻilo ʻe Palesiteni Penisoni ʻa e mālōlō ʻa Palesiteni Kimipoló, naʻá ne ongoʻi vaivai—ʻo vaivai ange ʻi ha toe meʻa kuó ne ongoʻi kimuʻa. Ka naʻe mālohi ʻiate ia ʻa e ivi tākiekina ʻo e Laumālié. ʻI he meʻafakaʻeiki ʻo Palesiteni Kimipoló, naʻá ne fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻa e palōfita kuo mālōloó ko ha tangata anga fakatōkilalo, angavaivai, mo tui lahi. Naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni ʻo pehē, “Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e ʻEikí. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e founga ke fakataufolofola ai kiate Iá mo maʻu ʻa e ngaahi talí.”
ʻI he taki ʻa Palesiteni Kimipoló, naʻe tupulaki ʻa e Siasí ʻo meimei toko ua miliona ʻa e kāingalotú, ko e tokolahi ʻo kinautolu ʻi ʻAmelika Latina. Naʻe kau ʻi he ngaahi siteiki ʻe laungeau naʻe fokotuʻu lolotonga ʻene palesitení ʻa e ngaahi fuofua siteiki ʻi Polīviá, Kolomupia, Nikalākua, Palakuai, Pueto Liko, mo Venesuela. Ke tokangaekina ʻa e tupulaki ko ʻení, naʻá ne fokotuʻu mo fakatokolahi ʻa e Kōlomu ʻUluaki ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú pea poupouʻi ʻa e tuʻunga fakatakimuʻá fakafou ʻi he ngaahi fakataha alēlea fakaʻēliá, fakavahe lahí, mo e fakafāmilí.
Naʻe fakamamafaʻi foki ʻe Palesiteni Kimipolo ʻa e fiemaʻu ʻo e ngaahi temipalé, ngāue fakafaifekaú, mo e ako ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Lolotonga ʻene palesitení, naʻe fakatapui ha ngaahi temipale ʻe uofulu mā taha pea hiki hake ʻa e kau faifekau taimi kakató mei he toko tahamano fituafé ki he uamano hivaafe. ʻI he 1979, naʻe pulusi ʻe he Siasí ha tatau ʻo e Tohi Tapu ʻa Kingi Sēmisí fakataha mo ha ngaahi mape, ko ha tikisinali ki he Tohi Tapú, ngaahi konga naʻe toʻo mei he liliu fakalaumālie ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e Tohi Tapú, pea mo ha futinouti ʻe lauafe mo e ngaahi potufolofola fakafekauʻaki ki he ngaahi folofola ʻa e Siasí. Hili ha taʻu ʻe ua mei ai, ʻi he 1981, naʻe tuku mai ʻe he Siasí ha ngaahi tatau pehē ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá, pea mo e Mataʻitofe Mahuʻingá. Naʻe kau ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá ha ongo vahe foʻou ʻe ua—137 mo e 138—ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi fakahā kia Siosefa Sāmita mo Siosefa F. Sāmita fekauʻaki mo e huhuʻi ʻo e kau pekiá pea mo e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ki he maama tataliʻanga ʻo e ngaahi laumālié. Naʻe pulusi foki ʻi he tataú ʻa e fanongonongo fakahisitōlia ʻo e fakahā ke fakaʻatā ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo e temipalé ki he Kāingalotu moʻui taau kotoa pē, neongo pe ko e hā honau matakalí.
ʻI he putú, naʻe lau ʻe Palesiteni Penisoni ʻa e fakahā ko ʻení ʻoku kau ʻi he meʻa mahuʻinga taha ʻi he kuonga fakakosipelí. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku fakaava ʻe he fakahā ko iá ʻa e matapā ki he hakeakiʻi ʻo e laumiliona ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻetau Tamaí.”
ʻI he fakakaukauloto ko ʻeni ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni ki he kahaʻú, naʻá ne vēkeveke ke hoko atu ʻi he tukufakaholo ʻa Palesiteni Kimipoló. Naʻe lahi ha ngaahi faingataʻa, motuʻa mo foʻou, ʻe kei fepaki mo e Kāingalotú. ʻI he taʻu lahi, naʻe ʻita ʻa e ngaahi kulupu mamahiʻi fonua ʻi ʻAmelika Latiná ʻi hono tuku atu ʻe he Siasí ʻa e kau faifekau mo e kau taki fakamisiona mei he ʻIunaiteti Siteití, pea naʻe kamata ke fakamanamanaʻi ʻe heʻenau fakafepakí ʻa e malu ʻo e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ʻi he vahefonua ko iá. Naʻe hohaʻa foki ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni ki he kakai ʻi ʻIulope lotoloto mo fakahahaké, ʻa ia ko e lahi taha ʻo e ngaahi fonua ʻi aí naʻe kei tāpuni ki he Siasí.
Lolotonga iá ʻi ʻIutā, naʻe fakatotoloʻi ʻe he kau polisí ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí ko Maʻake Hofimana hili ha pā ʻa e foʻi pomu ʻe tolu ʻi he feituʻu Sōleki Sití ʻo mate ai ha toko ua. Ko Maʻaké ko ha tokotaha alea ia ʻi he ʻū tohi hāhāmolofiá ʻa ia naʻá ne fakatau atu ha ʻū meʻa lahi ki he Siasí. Ko e niʻihi ʻo e ʻū tohi ko ʻení naʻe ʻi ai ha fakamatala naʻe tupu ai ha veiveiua ʻi he fakamatala totonu ʻa e Siasí ki hono hisitōliá, ʻo iku ai ke fakafehuʻia ʻe ha kakai ʻe niʻihi ʻenau tuí. Neongo naʻe taʻepau ʻa e tuʻunga moʻoni ʻo e ʻū tohi ko ʻení, ka naʻe ʻiloʻi fakamāmani lahi ʻa e meʻa ko ʻeni naʻe hokó, pea naʻe faʻa ʻata kovi ʻa e Siasí ʻi hono lipōtí.
ʻI he tuʻu ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni ʻi muʻa ʻi he kau faiongoongó, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi foki naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi fehuʻi ʻa e kakaí fekauʻaki mo ʻene hoko ko e palesitení. ʻI hono kotoa ʻene moʻuí, naʻá ne poupou lahi ki he puleʻangá, pea naʻe fifili ha kakai ʻe niʻihi pe ʻe uesia ʻe heʻene ngaahi fakakaukaú ʻa ʻene ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ko e palesiteni ʻo e Siasí.
Naʻá ne talaange ki he kau faiongoongó, “Kuo fonu hoku lotó ʻi he ʻofa mo e manavaʻofa lahi ki he kāingalotu kotoa ʻo e Siasí pea mo e fānau ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē. ʻOku ou ʻofa ki he fānau kotoa ʻa ʻetau Tamaí ʻi he lanu, tui, mo e fakakaukau fakapolitikale kotoa pē.”
Naʻá ne palani ke tataki ʻa e Siasí ʻo hangē pē ko kinautolu naʻe muʻa ʻiate iá. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu siʻi kimuʻá, naʻe fanongonongo ʻe he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ha misiona ʻe tolu ki he Siasí: fakahā ʻa e ongoongoleleí, fakahaohaoaʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú, mo huhuʻi ʻa e kau pekiá.
Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Penisoni, “Te tau hoko atu ʻa e feinga kotoa pē ke fakahoko e misiona ko ʻení.”
ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 1986, naʻe hoko ʻa e taʻu hongofulu mā ono ko Manueli Navaló ko ha taulaʻeiki ʻi he Kolo Sani Kalosí ʻi Nasaka, ko ha kiʻi kolo ʻi he fakatonga ʻo Peluú. Naʻe lau ʻa e Kolo Sani Kalosí ko ha “ʻiuniti kamakamata” ʻa e Siasí, ko ha hingoa naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi he konga kimui ʻo e 1970 tupú ki he ngaahi kolo naʻe foʻou ai ʻa e Siasí pea tokosiʻi ʻa e kau mēmipá. ʻI he niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi ʻiuniti ko ʻení, kau ai ʻa e Kolo Sani Kalosí, naʻe fakataha ʻa e toʻu tupú mo e kakai lalahí ʻi ha ngaahi kalasi mo e ngaahi kōlomu ne fakatahaʻi ʻi he ʻaho Sāpaté.
Naʻe fiefia ʻa Manueli ʻi he fakataha mo e kau maʻu Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-Melekisētekí lolotonga ʻa e houa hono tolu ʻo e lotú. Naʻe ʻi ai ha kau talavou maʻu Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒlone ʻe toko uofulu nai ʻi he koló, ka naʻe siʻi hifo ʻi he vaeuá honau niʻihi naʻe maʻulotu maʻu peé. Naʻe maʻu ʻe Manueli ha faingamālie ʻi he fakataha mo e kaumātuʻa ʻi he koló, ke ako ki he ngaahi fatongia ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné mo e Faka-Melekisētekí fakatouʻosi.
Kuo hoko ʻa Manueli ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí ʻi ha taʻu ʻe ua. Naʻe papitaiso ia mo ʻene ongomātuʻá mo hono kiʻi tuofefine siʻisiʻí. Naʻe hoko ʻene tamaí ʻi he taimí ni ko ha palesiteni fakakolo, pea naʻe fakamālohia ʻa Manueli ʻe heʻene līʻoa ki he Fakamoʻuí. Naʻá ne pehē loto, “Kapau ʻoku kau heni ʻa Teti, ʻoku pau pē ʻoku lelei ia.”
ʻI he taimi ní, naʻe hoko ʻa e 1986 ko ha taʻu mahuʻinga ki he Siasí ʻi ʻAmelika Saute. ʻI Sānualí, naʻe fakatapui ha ngaahi temipale ʻi Lima, Pelū, mo Puenosi ʻAile, ʻĀsenitina—ko e temipale fika tolu mo e fā ia ʻi he konitinēnití. Naʻe ʻikai ngata pē hono tokoniʻi ʻa Manueli ʻe he fale ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi Limá mo e Kāingalotu ʻe toko 119,000 ʻi Peluú, ka naʻe kau foki ai mo e Kāingalotu ʻe toko 100,000 tupu naʻe nofo ʻi Kolomupiá, ʻEkuatoa, Polīviá, mo Venesuelá. Hili pē ʻa e fakatapuí, naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau Pelū ʻe toko uangeau mo e kau Polīviá ʻe toko uangeau honau ʻenitaumení.
Naʻe kamata leva ʻa e taʻu hono ua ʻa Manueli ʻi he seminelí, ko ha polokalama kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he Siasí ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní kotoa ʻo laka hake ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu. Kimuʻá, naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kolo ʻo Manuelí ʻa e ngaahi kalasi seminelí ʻi he efiafí. Ka ʻi he 1986, naʻe kamataʻi ʻe he kouʻotineita fakavahe lahi ki he Polokalama Ako ʻa e Siasí ʻi Peluú ʻa e semineli pongipongi fakaʻahó ki he lahi taha ʻo e ngaahi uooti mo e kolo ʻe 298 ʻi he fonuá. Naʻe tali ʻa e liliú ʻe he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ʻi Peluú. Naʻa nau loto ke fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi kalasi seminelí ofi ki he ʻapi ʻo e kau akó mo ʻenau kau faiako fakalotofonua taʻetotongí.
Ko e ʻuluaki kalasi semineli naʻe kau ki ai ʻa Manuelí naʻe fakahoko ia ʻi hono ʻapí, ka naʻe faifai pea nau hiki ki he falelotu totongi ʻo e koló. ʻI he ʻaho takitaha lolotonga ʻo e uiké, naʻe lue ʻa Manueli ʻi he meimei maile nai ʻe ua ke kau ki he kalasí ʻi he hoko ʻa e onó pongipongi. ʻI he kamatá, naʻe ʻikai faingofua ʻa e ʻā pongipongí, ka naʻe kamata ke ne fiefia ʻi he ʻalu ki he seminelí mo e toʻu tupu kehé. ʻI he fakalotolahi ʻa ʻene faiakó, naʻá ne fakatupulaki ai ha tōʻonga ʻo e lotú ʻi heʻene ʻā hake pē ʻi he pongipongí, neongo kapau naʻe fiemaʻu ke ne ʻā pongipongia ange ai.
Naʻe maʻu ʻe Manueli ʻi he seminelí, ha ʻū kaati “folofola ako maʻuloto.” Naʻe paaki ʻi he ngaahi kaati ko ʻení ha ngaahi potufolofola mahuʻinga naʻe fiemaʻu ke ako ʻe he kau ako semineli ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní. Koeʻuhí naʻe ako ʻe he kalasi ʻa Manuelí ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he taʻu ko iá, ko e ʻuluaki veesi folofola naʻá ne ako maʻulotó ko e 1 Nīfai 3:7: “Te u ʻalu ʻo fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kuo fekau ʻe he ʻEikí.”
Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he faiako semineli ʻe taha, ko ʻAna Kalanitā, ʻa Manueli mo ʻene kalasí ʻo fekauʻaki mo honau mahuʻinga mo e ikuʻanga taʻengata ko e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI he fanongo ʻa Manueli ki heʻene akonakí, naʻá ne ongoʻi naʻe mahuʻingaʻia ha taha ʻiate ia. Naʻá ne maʻu ha fakamoʻoni naʻe tokanga moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá ki Heʻene fānaú.
Naʻá ne sio foki ki he founga naʻe maluʻi ai ia ʻi hono tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekaú mei he ngaahi palopalema lahi naʻe fepaki mo e niʻihi ʻi hono toʻú. Neongo naʻá ne vaʻinga soka mo ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa naʻe ʻikai ke nau kau ki he Siasí, ka naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ko hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ofi tahá ʻa e toʻu tupu ʻi he siasí. ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho Pulelulú, te nau ʻalu ki he “pō ʻo e kau faifekaú,” ʻa ia te nau fakahoko ai ha fanga kiʻi vaʻinga mo feohi mo e kau faifekau naʻe ngāue ʻi he feituʻú.
Naʻe ako ʻa e ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻa Manuelí mo ia, poupouʻi, mo tokoniʻi ia ke nofo ʻi he hala totonú. ʻI heʻene ʻalu mo e niʻihi naʻá ne tokoua ʻakí ki he ngaahi paati ʻi he pō Tokonakí, naʻe ʻikai teitei ʻoange ʻe honau ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻoku ʻikai Siasí ha kavamālohi. Naʻa nau ʻiloʻi naʻa nau kau ki he Siasí pea naʻa nau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻenau tuí.
Kimui ange ʻi he taʻu ko iá, naʻe ʻaʻahi mai ʻa e taʻu hongofulu mā fitu ko Konisuelo Uongi Molenó ki hono tokoua lahí ko Kameni, ʻi Kuenavaka, Mekisikou. Naʻe meimei maile ʻe onongeau ʻa Kuenavaka ki he fakatonga ʻo e ʻapi ʻo Konisueló ʻi he kolo ko Moniteleí. Naʻe ʻave maʻu pē ia ki ai mo hono ngaahi tokouá ʻe heʻene tamaí ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfaná.
Naʻe mamaʻo ʻa e temipale ʻi Mekisikou Sití mei he kolo tupuʻanga ʻo Konisueló, ko ia ʻi heʻene ʻilo ko ia naʻe ʻalu ʻa e toʻu tupu ʻi Kuenavaká ʻo fakahoko ʻa e papitaiso maʻá e kau pekiá, naʻá ne maʻu ha ngofua meia Kameni ke ʻalu. Naʻá ne ʻinitaviu leva mo e pīsopé. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻiloʻi lelei ia pea hangē naʻá ne kiʻi momou ʻi heʻene fakahā ʻokú ne fie kau ʻi he ʻalu ki he temipalé.
Naʻe talaange ʻe Konisuelo, “Sio mai,” mo toʻo hake ha laʻipepa vahehongofulu mei heʻene folofolá, “ʻOku ou totongi vahehongofulu.”
Naʻe malimali ʻa e pīsopé ʻi heʻene folahi hake ʻa e laʻipepá ʻo ʻoange kiate iá. Naʻá ne fakahoko ʻa e toenga ʻo e ʻinitaviú pea ʻilo ʻokú ne moʻui taau ke ʻalu ki he temipalé.
Naʻá ne talaange “ʻOua te ke tokanga ki ha meʻa sisitā. Te ke lava ʻo ʻalu ʻo fakahoko ʻa e papitaisó.”
Hili ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻe heka pasi ʻa Konisuelo ki Mekisikou Siti mo e toenga ʻo e toʻu tupú mo e kakai lalahi mei he uōtí. ʻI heʻenau aʻu ki aí, naʻe ʻikai fakapapauʻi ʻe ha taha pe naʻe tuʻu ʻi fē ʻa e temipalé, ko ia naʻa nau kamata lue lalo ʻo fakasio.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Kepi, “Neongo te mou mamaʻo mei he toenga ʻo e kau finemui tokolahi ʻi he Siasí, ka ʻoku mau loto ke mou ongoʻi ʻa e mālohi ʻo ʻenau feohi fakatokouá mo e tokolahí ʻi heʻenau tuʻu fakataha ʻo tukupā ki he ngaahi tuʻunga ʻulungaanga mahuʻinga ʻo e ongoongoleleí.”

Ka naʻe toʻo ʻe Konisuelo ha laʻipepa pea faitohi kia Palesiteni Kepi ʻi he lea faka-Sipeiní. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “Ko ha Loumaile taʻu hongofulu mā fitu au.

Naʻá ne fakapipiki ʻi he tohí ʻa e pōpoaki naʻá ne loto ke ʻavé pea kole ange kia Palesiteni Kepi ke fakakau atu ia ʻi he ʻekitivitií:
ʻOku ou maʻu ha ʻamanaki lelei pea naʻe ʻikai ke u tuku ke mole ia.

ʻI he ʻosi ʻene tohí, naʻá ne faʻo ia ʻi ha sila pea meili ia ki Sōleki Siti.
ʻI ʻAokosi 1986, naʻe tuʻu ʻa Palesiteni ʻEselā Tafu Penisoni ʻi he veʻe Moʻunga Komolá ʻi he tuʻakolo ʻo Palemaila, Niu ʻIoké. Ko ha pongipongi Sāpate ia, pea naʻe fakatahataha mai ha fuʻu kakai ʻe toko valuafe nai ke fanongo ki heʻene lea ʻi he feituʻu naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá mei he ʻāngelo ko Molonaí.
Naʻe kau ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni mo hono uaifi ko Fololá, ki he fakaʻaliʻali ʻi he Moʻunga Komolá ʻi he pō kimuʻá. Ko e fakaʻaliʻalí—ko ha polokalama fakataʻu ia talu mei he 1930 tupú—naʻe fakahoko uike kakato ia ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfana kotoa pē pea naʻá ne tohoakiʻi ki ai ha kau ʻaʻahi ʻe lauafe.

ʻI he lea ko ʻeni ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni ki he fuʻu haʻofanga tokolahi ʻi muʻa ʻiate iá, naʻá ne nofotaha ʻi he fakamatala toputapu naʻe fakamanatua ʻi he fakaʻaliʻalí.
Naʻá ne talaange ki he kakaí, “Naʻe tohi ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná maʻatautolu ʻi he ʻaho ní.” ʻI heʻene kei talavoú, naʻe tokolahi ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí naʻe ʻikai ke nau ako maʻu pē pe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e lea mei he Tohi ʻa Molomoná. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kimui ní, naʻe lelei ange ʻa e ako ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ka naʻá ne tui naʻe kei lahi pē ʻa e meʻa ke fakaleleiʻi.
Naʻá ne pehē, “Kuo teʻeki ai ke tau fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻo hangē ko e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau faí. ʻOku ʻikai mālohi fēfē hotau ngaahi ʻapí kae ʻoua kuo tau fakaʻaongaʻi ia ke ʻomi ʻaki ʻetau fānaú kia Kalaisi.”
ʻI he ngaahi taʻu lahi, naʻe kōlenga ʻe Palesiteni Penisoni ki he Kāingalotú ke nau haʻu kia Kalaisi ʻo fakafou ʻi hano ako ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. ʻI heʻene hoko ko ha faifekau kei talavou ʻi ʻIngilani ʻi he 1920 tupú, naʻá ne fakatupulaki ha ʻofa ki he tohí. ʻI he taimi ʻe taha, ʻi hono fakaafeʻi ia mo hono hoa faifekaú ke lea ki ha kulupu ʻo ha kau fakaangá, naʻe haʻu mateuteu ʻa ʻEletā Penisoni ke malanga ʻo kau ki he Hē mei he Moʻoní. Ka ʻi heʻene tuʻu hake ke leá, naʻe ueʻi ia ke tuku ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne teuteú pea lea pē kau ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná.
Naʻe tui fakamātoato ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni ʻe lava ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻo tataki ʻa e kakaí kia Kalaisi. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kuohilí, naʻe lea ʻa e kau taki ʻo e Siasí fekauʻaki mo e Fakamoʻuí ʻo lahi ange ʻi ha toe taimi kimuʻa. ʻI he 1982, naʻe tānaki ʻe he Siasí ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻa e kaveinga “Ko ha Fakamoʻoni ʻe Taha ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi.” Naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe he fakalahí ni ʻa e Fakamoʻuí pea pehē foki ki he tuʻunga mahuʻinga ʻo e tohí fakataha mo e Fuakava Motuʻá mo e Fuakava Foʻoú. Naʻe tui ʻa e kau taki ʻo e Siasí ʻe fakamoʻoni mālohi ʻa e kaveinga foʻoú ki he Fakamoʻuí mo fakafepakiʻi ha ngaahi tukuakiʻi loi ʻoku ʻikai faka-Kalisitiane ʻa e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui ní.
ʻI he folau holo ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni ko e palesiteni ʻo e Siasí pea feʻiloaki mo e Kāingalotú, naʻá ne faʻa fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisi pea ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi heʻene hoko ko ha fakamoʻoni makehe ki Hono fakalangí. Pea ʻi heʻene fuofua lea ʻi he konifelenisi lahí ko e palesiteni ʻo e Siasí, naʻá ne tapou ki he Kāingalotú ke nau lau ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa.
Naʻá ne akoʻi, “Kuo teʻeki ai ke hoko, pe ʻe hoko ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko e uho ʻo ʻetau ako fakatāutahá, akoʻi ʻo e fāmilí, malangá, mo e ngāue fakafaifekaú. Kuo pau ke tau fakatomalaʻi ʻa e meʻá ni.”
Hili ha māhina ʻe ono mei ai, ʻi he ʻaho 4 ʻOkatopa 1986, naʻá ne toe lea ʻo kau kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he konifelenisi lahí. Naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa Palesiteni Penisoni ʻo pehē, “Ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko e maka-tuʻu-loto ia ʻo ʻetau fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa ia, ko Ia ʻa e makatuliki ʻo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku tau faí.”
Naʻá ne palōmesi, “ʻOku ʻi ai ha mālohi ʻi he tohí ʻe kamata ke tafe atu ia ki hoʻo moʻuí ʻi he momeniti ko ia ʻokú ke kamata ke ako fakamātoato ai ʻa e tohí.

ʻI he ʻaho 11 ʻOkatopa 1986, naʻe kau ʻa e kau finemui ʻi he kotoa ʻo e Siasí ʻi he fakafiefia ʻo e Toʻu Tangata kei Tupu Haké. Naʻe tataki ʻa e ʻekitivitií ʻe Palesiteni ʻAtefi Kepi mei he Kolisi Likí, ko e ʻapiako ʻa e Siasí ʻi Lekisipeki, ʻAitahoó. ʻI he tō mai ha havili momoko ki he ʻapiakó, naʻe lea ʻa Palesiteni Kepi ki he kau finemuí ʻi ha fale vaʻinga kimuʻa pea hū ʻa e taha kotoa ki tuʻa ke tukuange ʻa e fanga foʻi pula naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻo e ʻamanaki leleí, ʻofá, mo e melinó. ʻI ha feituʻu kehe ʻi he māmaní, naʻe fanongo ʻa e kau finemuí ki ha lekooti ʻo e pōpoaki tatau kimuʻa pea nau tukuange mo ʻenau ngaahi foʻi pulá ki he ʻataá.
Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Kepi, “Ko ha toʻu tangata kimoutolu ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe hoʻomou Tamai Hēvaní. ʻOku ui kimoutolu ʻi he ʻahó ni ke mou laka mai ki muʻa, fakaʻaongaʻi homou ivi tākiekiná, pea hoko ko ha ivi mālohi ki he angamāʻoniʻoní.”
ʻI he maile ʻe tahaafe fāngeau mei ai, ʻi Monitelei, Mekisikou, naʻe taʻofi ʻe he fakangatangata ʻo e fakaʻaliʻali fakalotú ʻa hono tukuange ʻe Konisuelo Uongi Moleno ha foʻi pula ʻi he ʻaho 11 ʻo ʻOkatopá. Ka ʻi ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻá ne ʻohovale ke maʻu ha tohi fakataautaha meia Palesiteni Kepi. Naʻe faka-Pilitānia ʻa e tohí, ko ia naʻe feinga ʻa Konisuelo hono lelei tahá ke mahino hono ʻuhingá. ʻI he haʻu hono taʻokete ko ʻAitá ki ʻapí, naʻá ne tokoni ke liliu ia.
Naʻe tohi ʻe Palesiteni Kepi ʻo pehē, “Siʻi Konisuelo, naʻá ku maʻu ho tohi fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo fakahaaʻi hoʻo fakaʻamu ke kau ʻi he ʻfakamanatua ʻo e tuí mo e ʻamanaki leleí ʻoku ʻamanaki ke fakahoko ʻe he Kau Finemuí.ʼ Naʻá ku loto ke ke ʻiloʻi naʻe tukuange ʻe ha finemui ʻi heni ha foʻi pula mo ho pōpoakí.”
Naʻe talaange ʻe Palesiteni Kepi kia Konisuelo naʻá ne lave ʻo kau ki heʻene tohí ʻi heʻene lea ki he kau finemuí ʻi he Kolisi Likí. Naʻe lāngilangiʻia ʻa Konisuelo ʻi hono vahevahe ʻe Palesiteni Kepi ʻene ngaahi leá mo ha kakai tokolahi pehē.

Hili ha ngaahi uike mei ai, hili ha lotu lahi, naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau finemui ʻi Moniteleí ʻa e ngofua mei he puleʻanga fakalotofonuá ke fakahoko ʻenau fakafiefia ʻo e Toʻu Tangata kei Tupu Haké.

ʻI heʻene mamata ki he tētē ʻene foʻi pulá, naʻá ne fakaʻamu ʻe tō ia ki ha feituʻu malu ʻe lava ai ha taha ʻo maʻu pea lau ʻene pōpoakí.
Hili ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻe fakakakato ʻe Konisuelo ʻene ngaahi taumuʻa ki he Fakalakalaka Fakatāutahá.
