Ko hoku taʻu 80 ʻeni. ʻOku ou fuʻu motuʻa ai he lau ʻa ha niʻihi. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku fakakaukau ha niʻihi ʻoku fuʻu motuʻa ha niʻihi ʻo e Kau Takí ke nau ʻiloʻi e meʻa ʻoku hoko he māmaní. Tuku muʻa ke u fakapapauʻi atu ʻoku mau ʻiloʻi lelei e meʻa ʻoku hokó.

Ko ha Māmani Feliliuaki

Kuó u mātā ha ngaahi liliu lahi he meimei taʻu ʻe 80 ko ʻení. ʻI he taimi naʻe kamata ai ʻeku ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻi ʻIngilani ʻi he 1948, ko e founga anga-maheni ki he kakaí ke maʻu ʻaki ha ongoongó, naʻe fakafou ia he nusipepá mo e letioó.

ʻOku toe kehe ange ʻa e māmaní he ʻahó ni. Ko e tokolahi ʻo kimoutolu, kapau te mou lau nusipepa, ʻoku mou lau ia he ʻInitanetí. Ko hotau kuongá, ko ha kuonga ia ʻo e ʻinitanetí, telefoni toʻotoʻó, vitiō mo e hiva ʻoku maʻu mei he ʻinitanetí, netiueka fakasōsialé, faitohi he telefoni toʻotoʻó mo e fanga kiʻi letiō toʻotoʻó.

Ko e māmani ʻeni ʻo e kahaʻú, mo ha ngaahi nāunau fakaeonopooni ʻe maʻu ʻi hoʻomou moʻuí, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi hoku taimí. Te mou fakaʻaongaʻi fēfē ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ko ʻeni kuo faʻú? Kae mahuʻinga angé, te ke fakaʻaongaʻi fēfē kinautolu ke fakalakalaka ʻaki e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí?

ʻOku ʻi ai hamou faingamālie maʻongoʻonga ke hoko ko ha takiekina mālohi fau ki he leleí ʻi he Siasí pea mo e māmaní. Ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻa e lea motuʻa ko ia ʻoku pehē, “ʻoku maʻongoʻonga ange ʻa e pení ʻi he heletaá.”1 ʻOku lahi ha ngaahi tūkunga ko e leá ke lava ʻo fakahoko ʻaki e ngaahi meʻa lahi kuo tofa mai ke mou fakahokó. Pea meimei ke fekauʻaki ʻeku lea kiate kimoutolu he ʻaho ní mo e ngaahi founga te ke vahevahe ʻaki e ngaahi lea ko iá.

Talu mei he kamataʻanga ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, mo ʻene fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e mālohi ʻo e folofola kuo tohí, ke fakamafolaʻaki ki he māmaní ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e ongoongolelei kuo toe fakafoki maí. Kuo laui senituli ʻa e kau mai ʻa e ʻEikí ki hono fakalotoa ʻo e kakaí ke nau faʻu ha ngaahi meʻangāue ʻe tokoni ki hono fakamafola ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Kuo ohi mo tali lelei ʻe he Siasí ʻa e ngaahi meʻangāue ko iá, ʻo kau ai ʻa e pākí, fakamafola ʻi he mītiá pea mo e ʻinitanetí.

Mahalo ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa foʻou kuo faʻu kuó ne takiekina mālohi ʻa e māmaní ʻo laka ange ʻi he ʻū tohi kuo pākí, ʻa ia naʻe faʻu ʻe ʻIōhānesi Kūtenipeeki ‘o fakafuofua ki he 1436. Naʻe tokoni lahi e tohi kuo pākí ki he ʻiló, kau ai e ngaahi meʻa kuo paaki ʻi he Tohi Tapu Māʻoniʻoní, ke lahi ange ʻi ha toe taimi ʻa hono vahevahe atú.

Ko e ʻInitanetí: Ko ha Faipaaki Fakaeonopooni

ʻOku ʻi ai ha tatau he ʻahó ni ʻo e mīsini pākí ʻi he ʻInitanetí. ʻOku fakaʻatā ʻe he ʻInitanetí ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ke hoko ko ha faipulusi, ongona hono leʻó pea ko ha kautaha ia ʻoku feliliuaki maʻu pē. Ki muʻa pea ʻi ai e ʻInitanetí, naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi fakangatangata ki hano paaki ʻo ha meʻa. Naʻe fie maʻu ha paʻanga, mālohi, tākiekina pea mo ha taimi lahi kae toki pulusi. Ka ʻi he ʻaho ní, tuʻunga ʻi he ʻasi hake ʻa e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ui ko e Mītia Foʻou, ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he ʻInitanetí, kuo toʻo atu ha konga lahi ʻo e ngaahi fakangatangata ko iá. ʻOku kau ki he Mītia Foʻoú ha ngaahi nāunau ʻi he ʻInitanetí ʻe faingofua ai ki ha faʻahinga taha pē ke ne pulusi pe fakamafola ki ha kakai tokolahi pe toko siʻi. Kuó u ʻosi lave atu ki ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi nāunau ko iá. ʻOku hanga ʻe he hopo hake ʻa e Mītia Foʻoú, ʻo tokoniʻi hano tālangaʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní ʻa e meimei kaveinga kotoa pē ʻo kau ai ʻa e tui fakalotú, ʻa ia ʻoku meimei lava ke kau ki ai e tokotaha kotoa pē. ʻOku ʻikai ke fakatatali pē ʻa e founga faipaaki fakaeonopooni ko ʻení kiate kinautolu ʻoku tuʻumālié.

Ka ʻe ala fakatuʻutāmaki ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi nāunau foʻou ko ʻení—ʻo hangē ko hano fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe ha taha ha meʻangāue ʻoku ʻikai poto ai. ʻE lava ke fakaʻaongaʻi e ʻInitanetí ke malangaʻaki e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí pea ʻe lava ke fakaʻaongaʻi foki ia ke tuʻuaki atu ai e kovi mo e fulikivanu ʻo e ponokalafí. ʻE lava pē ke hangē ‘a e ngaahi polokalama komipiutá, ko e ngaahi fasí ‘o fonu kapekapé. ʻE lava ke fakaʻaongaʻi e ngaahi netiueka fakasōsiale ʻi he ʻInitanetí ko ha meʻa ke fakatupulaki ʻaki e feohi fakakaungāmeʻá, pea ʻe toe lava pē ke fakaʻaongaʻi ia ʻe ha niʻihi ʻoku nau feinga ke tauheleʻi ʻaki e kau tonuhiá. ʻOku ʻikai toe kehe ia mei he founga ʻoku fili ʻe he kakaí ke fakaʻaongaʻi ki ai ʻa e televīsoné, heleʻuhilá pe ko ha laipeli. ʻOku fakatovave ʻa Sētane ke ne ngāue hala ʻaki e mālohi ʻo hono faʻu ʻo ha meʻa foʻou, ke fakaʻauha mo fakasiʻia pea mo huhu fakaongonoa ʻaki ha meʻa ʻe kau ki he leleí. Fakapapauʻi ko e ngaahi fili ʻokú ke fai ʻi hoʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e Mītia Foʻoú, ʻoku fakataumuʻa ia ke fakatupulaki ho ʻatamaí, ngaahi faingamālie pea mo fafangaʻi ai ho laumālié.

Hangē ko ia ʻoku mou meaʻí, kuo uesia lahi ʻe he Mītia Foʻoú ʻa e maama ʻo e nusipepá mo ha ngaahi founga mītia kehe kuo tau anga ki ai. Naʻe ʻi ai ha taimi ʻi heʻeku hoko ko ha takimuʻa ʻi he Siasí, ne u fai ai ha ʻinitaviu ʻi he nusipepá peá u tali ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe taha pe ua ke toki ʻasi mai ʻi loto he nusipepá. Pea hili iá ʻe liʻaki leva ʻa e nusipepa ko iá pea ko e hā pē ha ongo mei ai ne mole vave atu foki mo ia.

ʻI he taimi ní, ʻi heʻeku mavahe mei ha fakataha ʻe taha ke ʻalu ki ha fakataha kehé, ʻoku meimei hā mai pē he taimi ko iá ʻa e lipooti ʻo ʻeku ʻaʻahí pe ʻinitaviú ʻi he tuʻasila ʻinitaneti ʻo e kautaha nusipepá, ʻa ia ʻe lava ke hiki hano tatau mo tufaki atu ia ʻi he maama ʻo e ʻInitanetí. ʻE lava ke mou vakai ki hono mahuʻinga fau ʻo e lea moʻoni mo totonú he ʻahó ni. ʻOku ʻikai toe mole atu e ngaahi lea ia ʻoku hiki ʻi he ʻInitanetí. Ka ʻi ai hano kumi ha lea ʻa ha taha ʻe maʻu hake pē ʻi he Google pe Yahoo! pea mahalo ʻe ʻi ai ia ʻo fuoloa ʻaupito.

Ko ha meʻa ʻeni ne hoko: ʻI he 2007, naʻe haʻu ʻa e kautaha televīsone NBC ki Soleki Siti ke fakaʻekeʻeke au, ko ha konga ʻo ha polokalama ne nau faʻu ʻo kau ki he Siasí. Ne u talanoa mo e faiongoongo ko Loni ʻĀlaní ʻi ha houa ʻe taha ʻi he falelotu ʻo e Fale Fakamanatu ʻo Siosefa Sāmitá. Ne ma talanoa ʻo kau ki he Siasí. Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi naʻe ʻasi mai e talanoá pea ʻi he miniti ʻe 4 ko ia ne ʻasi maí, naʻe ʻasi ai haʻaku lea sekoni ʻe ono, ko e toʻo mei heʻema fakaʻekeʻeke houa ʻe tahá. Ko ha kiʻi taimi feʻunga pē ia ki heʻeku fakamoʻoni ʻo kau ki heʻetau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa ia ko e uho ʻo ʻetau tuí. Te u toe fakaongo atu, ko ha sekoni pē ʻe 6 naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi mei haʻama fakaʻekeʻeke miniti ʻe 60. Ka ko e sekoni ʻe 6 ko iá, ko e angamaheni pē ia ʻo e kau mēmipa ‘o e ngaahi kautaha TV, ʻa ia ʻoku fakaaʻu mai he ngaluʻeá ʻene fakakaukaú.

Pea ʻoku kei ʻi ai pē ʻa e miniti ʻe 15 ko iá. ʻOku ʻikai kei ʻasi mo puli vave atu e meʻa ʻoku tau leaʻakí, ka ʻoku tuku ai ia ko ha konga ʻo ha lekooti tuʻumaʻu pea ʻe lava ke hā mai ia ʻi ha ngaahi tuʻasila ʻinitaneti kehe pea toe fakaʻaongaʻi foki. Ko e kakai ko ia ʻoku nau fakaʻaongaʻi e ʻInitanetí ke fekumi ai ki ha ngaahi kaveinga fekauʻaki mo e Siasí, te nau maʻu ai ʻa e fakaʻekeʻeke ko ʻení pea mo ha ngaahi meʻa kehe.

ʻOku hanga ʻe he ngaahi nāunau ko iá ʻo fakaʻatā ʻa e ngaahi kautahá mo e fakafoʻituituí ke ʻoua te nau toe fou ʻi he kautaha ongoongó ka nau pulusi pe fakamafola kakato ʻenau ngaahi pōpoakí ki he niʻihi naʻe fakataumuʻa ki aí. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi he taʻu kuo ʻosí naʻe fakahoko ai ʻe he Potungāue ʻa e Siasí ki he Fetuʻutaki mo e Kakaí, hano fakaʻekeʻeke ʻo ʻEletā Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá pea mo ʻEletā Lani B.

Ka naʻe fakahoko ʻa e fakaʻekeʻeke ia ko ʻení ʻe ha tokotaha ngāue mei he Potungāue ʻa e Siasí ki he Fetuʻutaki mo e Kakaí, pea naʻe ʻoatu kakato ʻa e fakaʻekeʻeke ia ko ʻení ʻi he tuʻasila ʻInitaneti ʻa e Siasí, ʻo ʻikai toe filioʻi ʻe ha kautaha ongoongo.

ʻOku ʻi ai maʻu pē ha felāfoaki pe fetalanoaʻaki ia ʻe fai ʻo fekauʻaki mo e Siasí. He ʻikai toe ngata e ngaahi felāfoaki ia ko ʻení ʻo tatau ai pē pe ʻoku tau fie kau atu ki ai pe ʻikai.

Lolotonga ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi felāfoaki ʻoku kau ki ai ha laui afe pe laui milioná, ko e konga lahi ia ko ha kakai toko siʻi ʻaupito. Ka ʻoku ʻi ai ha mālohi ʻo e felāfoaki kotoa pē kiate kinautolu ʻoku kau ki aí. ʻOku fokotuʻu ha ngaahi fakakaukau fekauʻaki mo e Siasí, ʻi he foʻi felāfoaki taki taha.

Ko e palopalemá, he ʻoku fuʻu tokolahi fau e kakai ʻoku kau atu ki he ngaahi fetalanoaʻaki fekauʻaki mo e Siasí, ʻo ʻikai malava ai e kau ngāue ʻa e Siasí ke fai ha tali pe talanoa fakatāutaha mo kinautolu.

ʻOku mou meaʻi kotoa pē ʻoku fakamanatu atu mo poupouʻi e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ke nau hokohoko atu hono vahevahe ʻo e ongoongoleleí ki he niʻihi kehé. ʻOku fekumi maʻu pē ʻa e Siasí ki he ngaahi founga lelei taha ke talaki ʻaki ʻene pōpoakí.
