ʻE kāinga ʻofeina, ko ha ʻaho nāunauʻia ʻeni kiate kitautolu ke tau fakamoʻoniʻi ai hono fanongonongo ʻe hotau palōfita ʻofeiná ʻa e ngaahi temipale foʻou ʻe nimá. Ko ha ʻaho fakaʻofoʻofa ʻeni kiate kitautolu kotoa.

ʻI he fakaʻosiʻosi ʻa e Tau Lahi Hono II ʻa Māmaní, naʻe ui ʻeku tamaí ki he kau tau ʻa Siamané pea naʻe ʻave ia ki he feituʻu naʻe lolotonga fai ai e taú, pea naʻe tokangaʻi toko taha pē ʻe heʻeku faʻeé homau fāmilí. Neongo ne u kei taʻu tolu, ka ʻoku ou manatuʻi pē ʻa e taimi ko ʻeni ʻo e ilifiá mo e fiekaiá. Naʻa mau nofo ʻi Sekisolovakia pea naʻe ʻalu pē ʻahó mo e ofi mai ʻa e taú pea lahi ange ʻene fakatuʻutāmakí.

Faifai pea fakakaukau ʻeku faʻeé he taimi momoko ʻo e 1944 ke mau hola ki Siamane ʻa ia ne nofo ai ʻene ongomātuʻá. Naʻá ne fakatui homau vala māfana pea fakaheka kimautolu ʻi he lēlue fakamuimui taha ki he feituʻu fakahihifó. Naʻe fakatuʻutāmaki e fefonongaʻaki he taimi ko iá. Ko e feituʻu kotoa pē ne mau ʻi ai, naʻe fakamanatuʻi mai ʻe he pā ʻa e pomú, ngaahi fofonga mamahí mo e fiekaiá, naʻa mau kei ʻi ha feituʻu ʻo e taú.

Naʻe ʻai pē mo tuʻu e lēlué ke fakatau ha meʻakai. ʻI he pō ʻe taha lolotonga ʻene ngaahi tuʻu ko ʻení, naʻe hifo fakavave ʻeku faʻeé mei he lēlué ke kumi ha meʻakai maʻa ʻene fānau ʻe toko faá. ʻI heʻene foki maí, naʻá ne ilifia heʻene sio kuo pulia e lēlué ia mo ʻene fānaú!

Naʻá ne hohaʻa lahi; peá ne lotu loto pē. Naʻá ne kumi takai he fuʻu tauʻanga lēlue lahi mo fakapoʻulí peá ne fefokifokiʻaki he ngaahi halanga lēlué mo e ʻamanaki pē kuo teʻeki ai ke ʻalu e lēlué.

Mahalo pē he ʻikai ke u teitei ʻilo e loto mo e fakakaukau ʻeku faʻeé he pō fakapoʻuli ko iá, heʻene kumi holo he tauʻanga lēlué ʻene fānau kuo molé. ʻOku ʻikai haʻaku veiveiua naʻá ne ilifia ʻaupito. ʻOku ou ʻilo pau naʻá ne fakakaukau kapau he ʻikai ke ne ʻilo e lēlue ko ʻení, he ʻikai ke ne toe mamata ki heʻene fānaú. Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo fakapapau ʻeni: naʻe ikunaʻi ʻe heʻene tuí ʻa ʻene ilifiá pea ikunaʻi ʻe heʻene ʻamanaki leleí ʻa e ʻamanaki tō-noá. Naʻe ʻikai ko ha fefine ia ke nofo hifo ʻo lāunga ʻi hono mamahí. Naʻá ne ngāue. Naʻá ne fakaʻaongaʻi ʻene tuí mo ʻene ʻamanaki leleí.

Ko ia naʻá ne lele mei he halanga lēlue ki he halanga lēlue pea mei he lēlue ki he lēlue ʻo aʻu ki heʻene maʻu e lēlue ne mau ʻi aí. Naʻe ʻave ia ʻo tau ʻi ha feituʻu naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha kakai. Naʻe iku ʻo ne toe maʻu ʻene fānaú.

Ne u faʻa fakakaukau ki he pō ko iá mo e meʻa kuo pau ne siʻi fuesia ʻe heʻeku faʻeé. Ka ne lava ke u toe foki ki he taimi ko iá ʻo nofo ʻi hono tafaʻakí, te u ʻeke ange kiate ia pe naʻá ne lava fēfē ke kei hoko atu lolotonga ʻene ilifiá. Te u fehuʻi ange kau ki he tuí mo e ʻamanaki leleí pea naʻá ne ikunaʻi fēfē ʻa e tō-noa e ʻamanakí.

Neongo he ʻikai hoko, kae mahalo ʻe lava ke u nofo hifo ho tafaʻakí he ʻahó ni pe ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo ha taha ʻoku ongoʻi loto-foʻi, loto-hohaʻa pe taʻelata. ʻOku ou fie lea he ʻahó ni ʻo kau ki he mālohi taʻefakangatangata ʻo e ʻamanaki leleí.

Ko e Mahuʻinga ʻo e ʻAmanaki Leleí

Ko e ʻamanaki leleí ko e vaʻe ia ʻe taha ʻo ha sea veʻe-tolu, fakataha mo e tuí mo e ʻofa faka-Kalaisí. ʻOku nau fokotuʻu maʻu ʻetau moʻuí neongo e ngaahi faingataʻa te tau fetaulaki mo iá. ʻOku fakamatala mahino mo pau e folofolá ki he mahuʻinga ʻo e ʻamanaki leleí. Naʻe akonaki e ʻAposetolo ko Paulá ʻo pehē naʻe hiki ʻa e folofolá ʻo fakataumuʻa ke “tau maʻu ai ʻa e ʻamanaki leleí.”1

ʻOku maʻu ʻe he ʻamanaki leleí e mālohi ke fakafonu ʻetau moʻuí ʻaki ʻa e fiefiá.2 Ka ko e taimi ʻoku hala aí—ʻi he tuai e hoko ʻetau ʻamanakí— “ʻoku pōngia leva ʻa e lotó.”3

Ko e ʻamanaki leleí ko ha meʻafoaki ia ʻo e Laumālié.4 Ko ha ʻamanaki ia ʻe tuʻunga ʻi he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí pea mo e mālohi ʻo ʻEne Toetuʻú, ʻa ʻetau malava ʻo toe tuʻu hake ki he moʻui taʻengatá pea ʻe hoko ʻeni ʻi heʻetau tui ki he Fakamoʻuí. 5 Ko e faʻahinga ʻamanaki lelei ko ʻení, ko ha tefitoʻi moʻoni ia ʻo e talaʻofá mo ha fekau,6 ʻoku ō fakataha mo e ngaahi fekaú kotoa pea ʻoku ʻi ai hotau tufakanga ke ʻai ke hoko ia ko ha konga longomoʻui ʻo ʻetau moʻuí pea lavaʻi hono ʻahiʻahiʻi kitautolu ke siʻaki ʻa e ʻamanaki leleí. ʻOku hanga ʻe he ʻamanaki lelei ki he palani angaʻofa ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ki he fiefiá, ʻo tataki atu kitautolu ki he melinó,7 ʻaloʻofá,8 fiefiá,9 mo e [nēkeneká].10 Ko e ʻamanaki lelei ki he fakamoʻuí, ʻoku tatau ia mo ha tatā maluʻi;11 pea ko e fakavaʻe ia ʻo ʻetau tuí12 mo ha taula ki hotau laumālié.13

Naʻe tui ʻa Molonai heʻene nofo toko tahá ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ʻamanaki lelei—naʻa mo e hili ʻene mamata ki hono fakaʻauha ʻo ʻosiʻosingamālie hono kakaí. ʻI he fakaʻosiʻosi e puleʻanga ʻo e kau Nīfaí, naʻe tohi ai ʻe Molonai ʻo pehē ka ʻikai ia, he ʻikai ke tau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.14

Ka Ko e Hā ʻOku Tau Lotofoʻi Aí?

ʻOku pehē ʻi he folofolá kuo pau ke ʻi ai “ʻa e fehangahangai ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.”15 Pea ʻoku pehē ʻi he tuí, ʻamanakí mo e ʻofa faka-Kalaisí. ʻOku tupu hotau ʻahiʻahiʻí mei he loto- veiveiuá, loto foʻí mo e taʻetokanga ki hotau kāingá, ʻo mole ai meiate kitautolu hotau ngaahi tāpuakí.

ʻOku ngāue ʻaki ʻe he filí ʻa e lotofoʻí ke fakapoʻuli ai hotau lotó mo e ʻatamaí. ʻOku mole ʻa e māmá mo e fiefiá meiate kitautolu ʻi he siva ʻa e ʻamanakí ka tau nofo pē mo e ngaahi konga taʻekakato ʻo e moʻui ne totonu ke tau aʻusiá. ʻOku fakangata ʻe he loto foʻí, ʻa e loto-feingá, fakatupu ʻa e mahamahakí, ʻuliʻi ʻa e laumālié pea fakaongonoa e lotó. ʻE hangē leva ʻa e loto foʻí ia ko ha sitepu hifoʻanga ki lalo ʻoku ʻikai hano ngataʻanga.

ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, oku hangē ʻa e ʻamanaki leleí ia ko e hopo ʻa e huelo ʻo e laʻaá pea mavahe hake mei he ngaahi tūkunga ʻoku tau lolotonga ʻi aí, ʻo ne toʻo atu e fakapoʻulí ʻi he mafoa ʻa e atá. ʻOkú ne fakalotolahiʻi mo ueʻi kitautolu ke tau falala ki he ʻofa mo e tokanga ʻa ha Tamai Hēvani taʻengata kuó Ne teuteu ha hala maʻanautolu ʻoku fekumi ki he moʻoni taʻengatá ʻi ha māmani mohu fakaʻuhinga, puputuʻu mo ilifia.

ʻOku kehekehe hono fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻo e foʻi lea ko e ʻamanaki leleí tupu pē mei he fihi ʻa e leá. Hangē ko ʻení, ʻe ʻamanaki ha kiʻi tamasiʻi ia ke ʻi ai haʻane telefoni vaʻinga; pea ʻamanaki ha talavou ʻe telefoni mai hano kaumeʻa; pea ʻamanaki ha tokotaha lahi ia he ʻikai pē tatangi e telefoní.

ʻOku ou fie lea he ʻaho ní ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei ko ia ʻoku mahulu hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻingá pea fakatefito ʻi he ʻAmanaki Leleiʻanga ʻo ʻIsilelí,16 ko e ʻamanaki leleiʻanga ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ʻa ia ko hotau Huhuʻi ko Sīsū Kalaisí.

ʻOku ʻikai ko e ʻamanaki leleí ʻa e ʻiló,17 ka ko e tui pau ʻe fakahoko ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻEne ngaahi talaʻofa kiate kitautolú.

ʻOku pehē ʻi he ongoongoleleí, ko e ʻamanaki lelei ko ʻení ʻoku pau, taʻeveiveiua pea longomoʻui. Naʻe lea e kau palōfita ʻi muʻá ʻo kau ki ha “ʻamanaki mālohi”19 mo ha “ʻamanaki moʻui.”20 Ko ha ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku fakalāngilangiʻi ai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi ngāue leleí. ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he ʻamanaki leleí ʻa e fiefiá mo e nēkeneká.21 ʻE lava ke fakafou he ʻamanaki leleí ʻa ʻetau maʻu e “faʻa kātakí, pea kātakiʻi … [hotau] ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá.”22

Ngaahi Meʻa ʻOku Tau ʻAmanaki Lelei Ki Ai, Ngaahi Meʻa ʻOku Tau ʻAmanaki Lelei Ai

Ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻi he kahaʻú, ʻoku tau faʻa ʻamanaki lelei ki aí. Ka lava ke tau sio fakalaka atu ʻi he moʻuí ni ki he meʻa ʻoku fakatatali mai hili e moʻui ní, ʻe mahino lelei kiate kitautolu e lahi ʻo e meʻa ke tau fiefia ke kau ki aí. ʻE lava nai ke tau fakakaukau ki ha kahaʻu nāunauʻia ange kuo teuteuʻi maʻatautolu ʻe heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní?

Ko e faʻahinga moʻui fēfē ʻe lava ke tau ʻamanaki ki aí? Ko kinautolu ʻe haʻu kia Kalaisí, fakatomala mei heʻenau ngaahi angahalá, pea moʻui ʻaki e tuí, te nau nofo ʻi he melino ʻo taʻengata. Fakakaukau ki he mahuʻinga ʻo e meʻaʻofa taʻengatá ni. ʻE takatakai ʻiate kitautolu hotau ngaahi ʻofaʻangá pea tau ʻiloʻi hono tumutumu ʻo e fiefiá ʻi heʻetau fakalakalaka ʻi he ʻiló mo e fiefiá. Neongo e fakalotosiʻi ʻetau tuʻunga moʻui he ʻaho ní, ka ʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ʻamanaki lelei mo pau ki hono ikuʻangá koeʻuhí ko e moʻui mo e feilaulau ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. “ʻOku teʻeki ai mamata ʻe ha mata, pe fanongo ʻe ha telinga, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hū ki he loto ʻo ha tangata, ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻa ia ʻoku teuteu ʻe he ʻOtuá maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate iá.”26

ʻOku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau ʻamanaki lelei ʻi heʻetau moʻui fakaʻahó. ʻOku nau tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi he faingataʻá, ʻahiʻahí mo e mamahí.

ʻI he taimi kotoa pē ʻoku hoko ai ha ʻamanaki lelei, ʻokú ne fakatupu ʻe ia ʻa e loto-falalá mo ha ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku lahi angé. ʻOku lava ke u fakakaukau ki ha taimi lahi heʻeku moʻuí ne u ʻiloʻi ai e mālohi ʻo e ʻamanaki leleí ʻiate au pē. ʻOku ou manatu ki he ilifia mo loto foʻi heʻeku kei siʻí koeʻuhí ko e tau ʻa māmaní, ʻikai ha faingamālie fakaako, ngaahi tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ki he moʻui leleí mo e faingataʻaʻia fakapaʻanga mo fakalotosiʻi ʻi he hoko ko ha taha kumi hūfangá.
