ʻA e Palōfita Anga Vaivaí ni
Ne u fuofua feʻiloaki mo Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ʻi he taʻu ʻe 50 tupu kuohilí. Naʻe uiuiʻi au ke u Tokoni ki he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻi he konifelenisi tatau pē naʻe fokotuʻu ai ia ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá.
Ko e kupuʻi lea ʻeni naʻá ne fuofua leaʻaki he tuʻunga malangá ʻi hono fakanofo ia ko ha Tokoni ki he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá: “ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻikai ke u fononga toko taha mai he halá ni pea ʻoku ou fakamālō koeʻuhí ko ha tokoni ʻa ha kau tangata mo fefine tokolahi—ʻa ia ko ha kau tangata lelei ʻoku nau ʻi heni he ʻahó ni pea pehē ki ha kakai lelei toko lahi ka ʻoku ʻikai ke u manatuʻi honau hingoá.” (in Conference Report, April 1958, p. 123).
Naʻe fuofua aʻu mai ʻa Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ki he hetikuota ʻo e Siasí ʻi heʻene foki ki ʻapi mei heʻene ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi ʻIngilaní. Naʻe kole ange ʻe heʻene palesiteni fakamisioná ke ne lipooti ki he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí: ʻa ia ko Palesiteni Hiipa J. Kalānite, J. Lūpeni Kalake ko e Siʻi mo Tēvita O. Makei. Ko e fakataha naʻe totonu ke miniti ʻe 15 naʻe laka ia he houa ʻe tahá. Naʻe kole ange ke ne hoko ko e sekelitali ʻo e Kōmiti foʻou ki he nāunau ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e Siasí.
Naʻe tuku ke ne kumi pē hano ʻōfisi ʻe ʻataá. Naʻe ʻi ai hano kaumeʻa naʻe ʻi ai ha falekoloa nāunau ʻōfisi ʻo ʻene tamaí pea naʻe foaki ange ai kiate ia ha tesi motuʻa ngaungaue. Naʻá ne langolango ʻaki e vaʻe ne nounoú ha konga papa. Naʻá ne fakaʻaongaʻi pē haʻane taipe mei honau ʻapí.
Naʻá ne ʻalu ki he loki nāunaú ke ʻomi ha kofukofu pepa pea fehuʻi ange, “ʻOkú ke ʻiloʻi ko e laʻi pepa ʻe fiha he kofukofu ʻe tahá?”
Naʻá ne tali ange, “ʻIo, laʻipepa ʻe 500.”
“Ko e hā hoʻo meʻa ka fai ʻaki ʻa e laʻi pepa ʻe 500?”
Naʻá ne tali ange, “Te u tohi tahataha pē kaeʻoua kuó u fakaʻaongaʻi kotoa.”
Naʻe ʻikai toe tuku ʻene faitohí. Kuo laui taʻu ʻeku fakataha fakauike mo Palesiteni Hingikelī. ʻOku ou faʻa hū atú ʻokú ne tangutu hono tesí ʻo tohi nima pē ʻene ngaahi malangá.
Ko hoku fuofua fatongia ʻi heʻeku hoko ko e Tokoni ki he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ko e tokoni kia ʻEletā Hingikelī ʻi he Potungāue Fakafaifekaú.
Ne ʻikai fuoloa kuó ne mavahe ke ʻaʻahi ki he ngaahi misiona ʻi ʻIulopé mo Palesiteni Henelī D. Moili. ʻI heʻene foki maí, naʻá ne talamai naʻe fai Tūsolotofi ha taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻa faingataʻa taha naʻe lava ke ne faí.
ʻI he efiafi fakaʻosi ʻo ʻena ʻi ʻIulopé, naʻe tataki ai ʻe Palesiteni Moili ha maʻu meʻatokoni efiafi mo e kau faifekaú, ʻo kau ai ʻa e foha ko ia ʻo ʻEletā Hingikelií ko Lisiate. Naʻe siʻi lea fakamāvae ʻa ʻEletā Hingikelī ki hono fohá ʻi he hōtelé. Naʻá ne pehē ʻi heʻene vakai atu ki he lue atu hono fohá meiate ia mo hono hoá ki he poʻuli momokó, ko e meʻa faingataʻa taha ia kuó ne faí. Naʻá ne tangi heʻene fakamatalaʻi mai ia kiate aú.
Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo hā sino e ʻatamai matala mo e lelei moʻoni e manatu ʻa Misa Hingikelií. Ka naʻá ku ako ha meʻa kehe naʻe toe mahuʻinga ange. Kuó u ʻiloʻi e loto ʻo ʻEletā Kōtoni B. Hingikelií. Ko ha toko taha ia naʻe anga fakalongolongo pea naʻe ʻikai ke faʻa fakatokangaʻi ʻe ha taha ʻa e meʻa naʻe ʻi hono lotó.
ʻI heʻeku feinga ko ia ke fakamatalaʻi e malava ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻo fetuʻutakí, ʻoku ou manatu ai ki he ngaahi taʻu kuohilí, ki haʻaku folau ki Pākisitani mo ʻEletā Sēkope ti Ieka, ko e taha ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú, ʻa ia ne mau faʻa ui ko e “Tangata Hōlani fofonga malimali fiefiá.” Naʻe talitali kimautolu ʻe Misa Sulimani Hapipi, ko haku kaumeʻa fuoloa mei ha fāmili ngāue fakapangikē ʻi Kalasi (Karachi).
ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe ʻave kimaua ʻe Sulimani ki he tuʻakoló ke ma sio he taha ʻo ʻene ngaahi fāmá. Ne mau fetaulaki ai mo ha kau ngāue tokolahi, ne masiva ʻaupito honau teungá, ne nau langa ha hala ʻaki ha ukamea mo ha sāvolo. Naʻa nau lea faka-ʻUtu, ʻa ia ko ha lea fakafonua naʻe teʻeki ke u fanongo ai mo Sēkope ki muʻa. Ne teʻeki ai ke tuʻu lelei hifo e kaá mo e hū ki tuʻa ʻa Sēkope ia. Naʻá ne feohi mo e kau ngāué.
Naʻe siofi fakamamaʻu ia ʻe Sulimani peá ne tafoki ʻo pehē mai, “ʻOku fetuʻutaki lelei ange ʻa e tangata ia ko ʻení mo e kakai ʻUtú ni ʻo laka ange ʻiate au.” Naʻá ne toe pehē mai, “ʻE lava ʻe he tangata ia ko ʻená ʻo fakafiefiaʻi ha ʻasi pe ko ha tuʻi!”
Neongo pe ko e hā e mālohi ʻo e founga fetuʻutaki ne vakai ʻa Sulimani ne maʻu ʻe Sēkope ti Ieka, naʻe mahutafea ia ʻia Kōtoni B. Hingikelī.
Naʻe haʻu ha faifekau ʻIsilami ki hoku ʻōfisí he ʻaho ʻe taha, ʻi haʻane haʻu ki Sōleki ke fai hano faitoʻo he Senitā Moran Eye. Ne u aleaʻi ai ke feʻiloaki mo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí. Naʻe hangē pē ʻa Dr. ʻApitulahami Uahiti, ko Palesiteni Hingikelií, ʻo poto ʻaupito he tukuhuá. Naʻe haʻu fakataha ʻa Toketā Uahiti mo Toketā ʻAlavi Sihapi, ko ha palōfesa he ako ki he tui faka-ʻIsilamí ʻi he ʻUnivēsiti Hāvatí.
ʻI he fakataha ko iá, naʻe pehē ʻe Toketā Uahiti kuo kole ange ke ne kau he fili palesiteni ʻo ʻInitonīsiá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe fili au, ʻe hoko leva ʻa ʻAlavi Sihapi ko ʻeku minisitā ki mulí.”
Naʻe pehē ange ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī, “Kapau te ke fili palesiteni peá ke ikuna, te u ʻaʻahi atu kiate koe ʻi Sakāta.”
Naʻe fili ia pea naʻá ma ō ki Sakāta ʻo hoko ai ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ko e fakaafe fakalāngilangi ʻi ha maʻumeʻatokoni efiafi naʻe fai he palasi fakapalesitení.
Ko e fuofua pōpoaki fiekaungā mamahi naʻá ku maʻu he pekia ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelií, naʻe ʻomi ia meia ʻAlavi Sihapi. Naʻe aʻutaki mai ai ʻaneafi ha pale matalaʻi ʻakau lahi ʻaupito meia Palesiteni Uahiti, ko e palesiteni mālōlō ʻo ʻInitonīsiá.
ʻOku ou lau maʻu pē ʻa e faʻahinga mālohi ko ʻeni ʻo e fetuʻutakí mo e feohi ne maʻu ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelií, ko ha ʻofa fakatokoua mo e loto fakatōkilalo. Naʻe ʻosi hāsino pē ia ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko ʻene feohi mo ha kau ngāue ʻi ha hala efua pe ko ha kātoanga maʻumeʻatokoni ʻi ha palasi fakapalesiteni.
Naʻe tupuhake mo akonekina ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻi he ngaahi tokāteline ʻo e ongoongoleleí. ʻOku fakatotolo ʻene ngaahi kuí ʻo aʻu ki Cove Fort ʻi he lotoloto ko ia ʻo ʻIutaá. ʻI hono toe fakafoʻou ko ʻení, ʻoku tuʻu ia he taimí ni ʻo hangē ko e taimi ne langa ai ʻe heʻene kui tangatá he kuonga ʻo e kau paioniá.
Ko e konga lahi ʻo e tupulaki ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelií, naʻe tupu ia mei hono uaifí ko Māsolie Pei Hingikelī, ʻa ia naʻe lahi ʻene kātakí he nofo mo ha tangata femoʻuekina, pea naʻe tā-muʻomuʻa maʻu pē ʻiate ia. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi ha efiafi ʻe taha naʻá ne teuteu mo faʻo ai hono valá ke folau ki muli he ʻaho ʻe tahá.
Naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe hono uaifí, “Te tau ō mo au?”
Naʻá ne tali ange, “ʻOku ʻikai fie maʻu ke tali e fehuʻi ko ʻená he taimí ni!”
Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi, pea ʻoku totonu ke tau ʻiloʻi kotoa, ʻoku fenāpasi e ngaahi tokāteline ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí mo e fāmilí.
Ko hono fetongi ko ia ʻo e kau palesitenisī ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, ko ha founga fakaofo moʻoni ia. ʻOku hoko maʻu pē ʻa e ʻAposetolo fuoloa tahá ko e Palesitení pea hoko leva ʻa e tokotaha hoko hake aí ko e Palesiteni ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi mai he ngaahi fakahaá ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni mo e fakahinohino ke fakalele ʻaki ʻe he Kau Takí ʻa e Siasí. Neongo pe ko e hā ha faingataʻa pe faingamālie, ʻe lava ke maʻu e tatakí mo e ngaahi fakahinohinó mei he folofolá.
ʻOku ʻikai ha taha ia te ne ʻilo e founga maau ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻú ni, te ne fehuʻia pe ko hai ʻa e Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí ka hokó. Ko e sīpinga maʻu ai pē ʻeni. ʻOku ʻikai fai ha feinga ki ha tuʻunga pe ko ha hola mei he finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí.
Naʻe ʻikai fekumi ʻa Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ia ki he ngaahi uiuiʻi pe fatongia lahi naʻe ʻoange kiate iá ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne fakasītuʻaʻi kinautolu.
ʻI ha taha ʻo e ngaahi fakahā ki muʻá, naʻe folofola ai e ʻEikí, “Kae kehe ke lava ʻa e tangata taki taha ʻo lea ʻi he huafa ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻio ko e Fakamoʻui ʻo e māmaní” (T&F 1:20), ke “ō mai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa vaivai ʻo e māmaní ʻo holoki hifo ʻa e kau māfimafí mo e kau mālohí” (T&F 1:19).
ʻI he tupu vave ko ia ʻa e Siasí he funga ʻo e māmaní, ʻoku mau faʻa folau ai ki ha ngaahi feituʻu mamaʻo ke fokotuʻu pe toe fokotuʻutuʻu foʻou ha ʻiuniti ʻo e Siasí. ʻOku faʻa fehuʻi mai, “ʻOku mou maʻu mei fē ʻa e kau taki foʻoú?” ʻOku ʻikai ke mau kumi kinautolu. ʻOku nau ʻosi ʻi ai pē kinautolu ia, ʻo hangē ko e ʻosi ʻi ai ʻa Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelií. ʻOku ʻomi kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí. ʻOku nau ngāue faivelenga ʻo totongi ʻa e ngaahi faingamālie ʻoku nau maʻú ʻo fakafou he vahehongofulú mo e ngaahi foakí.
ʻI ha ouau makehe hili ʻa e papitaisó, ʻoku foaki ai ki he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻa ia ʻoku fakamatalaʻi mai ʻe he folofolá te ne “akoʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē mo fakamanatu kiate kimoutolu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē”(Sione 14:26). Ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻa e tataki fakalaumālié. ʻOku ʻi ai maʻu pē ia, ʻo kapau te mou ako ke moʻuiʻaki ia.
Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ne mahino taha kia Palesiteni Hingikelī ko e foʻi lea ko e fāmilí. ʻOku ʻikai faingataʻa ke maʻu ha fakamatala fekauʻaki mo e fāmilí ʻi heʻene ngaahi malangá mo e leá mo e akonakí, ʻo tatau pē ki ha haʻofanga tokolahi pe fakafoʻituitui pe tautautefito pē ki he ngaahi fāmilí.
ʻOku ou fakaʻapaʻapa ki he fāmili ʻo Kōtoni Pitinā mo Māsolie Pei Hingikelií. ʻE lava ke fakamatalaʻi kinautolu ko ha fāmili lelei. ʻOku nau tatau pē mo ʻenau tamaí ʻo anga fakatōkilalo. Neongo pe ko e hā ha tuʻunga ʻiloa ʻoku nau ʻi ai, ʻoku ʻikai toe kehe ia mei he founga naʻá ne fakafōtunga maí.
ʻI he faʻitoká, ʻo ʻikai fuʻu mamaʻo mei heni, ʻoku tuʻu ai ha maka fakamanatu kuo tongitongi ai e hingoa ʻo “Māsolie Pei Hingikelī” pea ʻi hono tafaʻakí ʻa e hingoa ʻo “Kōtoni Pitinā Hingikelií.”
ʻI he taimi naʻe fakaofi atu ai ʻa Mele ki he fonualoto ʻo Sīsuú, naʻe pehē ange ʻa e ʻāngeló, “ʻOku ʻikai ke ne ʻi heni; he kuó ne toe tuʻu” (Mātiu 28:6; vakai foki, Maʻake 16:6; Luke 24:6).
ʻE hokosia e taimi ʻe lava ke tau pehē kia Kōtoni Pitinā mo Māsolie Pei Hingikelī, “ʻOku ʻikai ke na ʻi heni he kuó na toe tuʻu fakataha hake.”
ʻOfa ke faitāpuekina ʻe he Tamaí ʻetau manatu ʻofa ki he palōfita angaʻofa ko ʻení mo hono hoa taʻengatá pea mo e ngāue toputapu naʻá ne tokangaʻí. Ko ʻeku lotú ia ʻi he huafa toputapu ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻēmeni.
