Ko e Fatongia Tauhí—Ko ha Falala Toputapu

Ka ko ʻetau tauhi ko ia ki hotau kāingá he ʻoku tau tui ko e finangalo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá.

Elder Quentin L. Cook

ʻOku tau moʻui ‘i ha kuonga fakatuʻutāmaki pea tui e tokolahi ʻoku ʻikai te tau fatongia ʻaki ke fai ha fakamatala ki he ʻOtuá pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau maʻu ha fatongia fakataautaha pe lakanga tauhi kiate kitautolu pe niʻihi kehé. Ko ha tokolahi ʻo e kakai he māmaní ʻoku nau tokanga pē ke fakahōhōloto, pe fakamuʻomuʻa pē kinautolu, pea nau ʻofa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakafiefiá ʻo lahi hake ʻi heʻenau ʻofa ʻi he anga māʻoniʻoní. ʻOku ʻikai te nau tui ko e tauhi kinautolu ʻo honau tokouá. Ka ʻi he Siasí, ʻoku tau tui ʻoku hoko ʻa e ngaahi fatongia tauhí ni ko ha falala toputapu.

Naʻe toki ʻaʻahí ni mai ha kulupu ʻo ha kau takimuʻa mo ha kau lāpai Siu ʻoku fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ki he ngaahi fale ʻo e Siasí ʻi he Teleʻa Sōlekí, kau ai e ngaahi fale ʻi Uelofea Sikueá, Senitā Tokoni ʻOfa Fakaetangatá, Laipeli Hisitōlia Fakafāmilí pea mo e ʻoupeni hausi ʻa e Temipale Moʻunga ʻOakilí. ʻI he faka-‘osinga ʻo ʻenau ʻaʻahí, ne fakamatalaʻi ʻe ha taha e kau lāpai ʻiloa taha ʻi ʻAmeliká ʻa e ngaahi ongo ki he meʻa naʻá ne mamata ki ai mo ongoʻí.1

Naʻá ne lau ha ngaahi fakakaukau ʻa ha tokotaha Siu poto ne fakatefito ʻi he Talamatí,2 peá ne fakamahino mai ʻoku ʻi ai ha ongo ʻuhinga kehekehe ʻoku fai ai ʻe he kakaí ha ngaahi ngāue tokoni mo fie-foakí. ʻOku ʻaʻahi ha niʻihi ki ha kau mahaki, tokoni ki he masivá pea mo tauhi honau kāingá, he ʻoku nau tui ko e meʻa totonu ia ke faí, pea ʻoku ʻi ai e niʻihi te nau toe fai ʻa e meʻa tatau maʻanautolu ʻi he taimi ʻo e faingataʻaʻiá. Naʻá ne fakamatala ʻo pehē neongo ʻoku lelei ʻeni, ka ʻoku totonu ke hoko hono langaki e tukuikolo fetokoniʻakí ko ha ʻuhinga fakaʻeiʻeiki, ka ko ʻetau tauhi ko ia ki hotau kāingá koeʻuhí ʻoku tau tui ko e finangalo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá, ko ha ʻuhinga ia ʻoku fuʻu mahulu hake.

Naʻá ne pehē foki ko e ola ʻene ʻaʻahí naʻá ne tui ʻoku fakahoko ʻe he Kāingalotú e ngaahi tokoni ʻofa fakaetangatá mo e ngāue fai fakamoʻui ʻi he temipalé ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau tui ʻoku finangalo ki ai ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Kuo fakamatalaʻi ʻe ha niʻihi ʻa e ongoʻi haʻisia ko ʻení, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi he fakamalumalu ʻo e ʻuluaki fekaú ke ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá, ko e “talangofua ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai fakamālohiʻi.”3 ʻOku tau feinga ke fai e meʻa totonú koeʻuhí he ʻoku tau ‘ofa pea fie maʻu ke fakahōifua ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní, kae ʻikai koeʻuhí ko hano fakamālohiʻi kitautolu ʻe ha taha ke tau talangofua.

Naʻe fai e Tau he Langí hili e pehē ʻe Sētane te ne fakamālohiʻi e tokotaha kotoa pē ke talangofua ki heʻene ngaahi fakakaukaú. Naʻe ʻikai ke tali ia. Ko hono olá, ʻoku tau maʻu e tauʻatāina ke filí pea mo e tauʻatāina ke tau fili hotau ʻalunga ʻi he moʻui ní. Ka ʻe ʻekeʻi meiate kitautolu e tauʻatāina ko iá. Kuo folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻe “ ʻekeʻi mei he tangata kotoa pē, ʻa e ngaahi angahala (ʻatautolú) ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e fakamāú.”4 Ko e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ia ʻo e ʻekeʻi meiate kita ʻa e meʻa ʻokú te fai pe taʻe faí mo e fatongia tauhí, ʻoku fuʻu mahuʻinga ia ʻi heʻetau tokāteliné.5

ʻOku ʻikai fakangatangata ʻi he Siasí ʻa e fatongia tauhí ki he falala pe ngaahi fatongia fakaemāmaní. Naʻe akonaki ʻe Palesiteni Sipenisā W. Kimipolo ʻo pehē: “Ko e kau tauhi kitautolu ʻo hotau ngaahi sinó, ʻatamaí, fāmilí mo e koloá… . Ko e tokotaha tauhi faivelengá ko ha tokotaha ʻokú ne ngāue ʻaki e pule angatonu, tokangaʻi hono fāmilí mo tokangaʻi e masivá mo e tukuhāusiá.”6

Lolotonga ʻoku ʻi ai e ngaahi tafaʻaki lahi ʻo e fatongia tauhí, kuó u fili ke u lea fekauʻaki mo ha meʻa pē ʻe ua. ʻUluakí, ko hotau lakanga tauhi kiate kitautolu mo hotau fāmilí. Ko e uá ko e fatongia tauhi ki he kau masivá mo e faingataʻaʻiá.

ʻOku faʻa ngāue ʻaki ʻe he ʻEikí e ngaahi tala fakatātā fekauʻaki mo e kelekelé ʻi hono akoʻi e ʻekeʻi meiate kita ʻa e meʻa ʻokú te fai pe taʻe faí mo e fatongia tauhí. ʻI heʻeku kei siʻí, naʻá ku faʻa ʻaʻahi ki heʻeku ongo kuí ʻi heʻena faama pulú lolotonga e faʻahitaʻu māfaná. Naʻe ʻikai ha ʻuhila, pe vai ne taki ki fale. Naʻe ʻi ai pē ha vai tupu ofi ki hona kiʻi fale ʻi he fāmá. Naʻe fakatupu ʻe he vai tupú ha kiʻi ano vai siʻi tasilo mo maʻa ʻa ia ne tā tuʻolahi ʻi he ʻaho ʻeku tokoni ki heʻeku kui fefiné ke fetuku ha vai ki fale ki he inú, feimeʻatokoní, kaukaú pea mo e foó. Naʻe saiʻia ʻaupito ʻeku ongo kuí ʻi he vai foaki moʻui ko ʻení pea naʻá na tokanga ke maluʻi ia.

Hili mei ai ha ngaahi taʻu lahi, ne ʻi he taʻu 90 tupú ʻeku kui tangatá pea naʻe ʻikai te ne nofo ʻi ʻapi; naʻe ʻikai te ne kei malava ke tokangaʻi ia. Naʻá ku fakaʻuli ʻo ʻave ia ki he faama pulu naʻá ne ʻofa aí. Ne iku fakaloto mamahi ʻa ʻene ʻamanaki ko ia ke sio ki he fāmá ʻi heʻene sio ʻo ʻilo kuo holo e ʻā naʻá ne maluʻi e vai tupú pea kuo ʻuliʻi ʻa e vai tupú ʻe he fanga pulú. Naʻá ne loto mamahi koeʻuhí ko e maumaú mo e ʻulí. Kiate iá, ko ha maumauʻi ia ʻo ha falala kuó ne ngāue ki ai he kotoa ʻene moʻuí. Naʻá ne ongoʻi kuo ʻikai ke ne maluʻi ʻa e vai fakatupu moʻui ne mahuʻinga fau kiate iá.

Hangē pē ko hono ʻuliʻi e vai tupu maʻá ʻi he taimi ʻoku ʻikai maluʻi ai iá, ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi ha kuonga ʻoku ʻikai maluʻi ai ʻa e angatonú mo e angamaʻá.7 ʻOku ʻikai fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻa e angamaʻa fakatāutahá. Kuo ʻomi ʻe ha Tamai Hēvani angaʻofa ha ngaahi founga ʻe lava ke ʻomi ai ʻEne fānau fakalaumālié ki he māmani ko ʻení ke fakahoko kakato e ʻuhinga honau fakatupú. Kuó Ne fakahinohinoʻi kitautolu ke tauhi ke maʻa e vai fakatupu moʻuí, ʻo hangē pē ko e fie maʻu ke maluʻi e vai tupu fakaʻofoʻofa ko ia ʻi he faama pulú, ke maʻu moʻui mei aí. Ko e taha ʻeni e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻoku fuʻu mahuʻinga ai ʻa e angatonú mo e angamaʻá ʻi he palani ʻetau Tamai ʻi Hēvaní.

Koeʻuhí ko e meʻa ko ia naʻe hoko ki heʻeku kui tangatá ʻi heʻene sio ki he ʻuli ʻa e vai tupú, naʻe fai leva ha ngāue ke fakaleleiʻi mo maluʻi e vaí pea naʻe fakafoki ki hono tuʻunga maʻa mo fakaʻofoʻofa ne ʻuluaki ʻi aí.

ʻI heʻemau hoko ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ko homau fatongia toputapu ke akoʻi ʻa ʻEne tuʻunga moʻui ʻo e angamaʻá ʻa ia ʻoku tatau ki Heʻene fānaú kotoa.

Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo pehē, “[He] … ʻikai te u lava ke mamata ki he angahalá ʻo momoʻi fakaʻatuʻi ia.”8 ʻOku feinga e niʻihi ke fakatonuhiaʻi ʻenau tōʻongá.

ʻI ha maau ʻa Sione Holomesi, ʻoku ui ko e “Talanoá”, ʻoku akoʻi ai ʻe ha tangata tuli toulekeleka foʻu vaka mei Niu ʻIngilani ha talavou ʻo kau ki he kumi ʻuhingá. ʻI hono fakamatalaʻi ha taha ʻo e ngaahi lēsoni naʻá ne akó, ne fakamatala ʻa e talavoú ʻo pehē, “Ne ʻikai ke u mei ʻilo neongo pe ko e hā e founga te ke foʻu ʻaki e vaká, kuo pau ke folau ia; he ʻikai lava ke ke fakamatala ia ki he tahí.”9

ʻOku pehē ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku hoko ʻi ha ngaahi kolo pau, ʻoku nofo pē ia ai. ʻOku ou saiʻia he papa fakaʻilonga naʻe tuʻu ʻi he Vahefonua Sēvia, ʻi ʻIutā, ʻa ia ʻoku pehē, “Ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku hoko ʻi he Vahefonua Sēvia … te ke lava ke vahevahe ia mo ho kaungāmeʻá!!!” ʻI heʻetau ʻilo ko ia ʻe ʻekea meiate kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ʻetau ngāue, te tau vakai leva ki he fakavalevale ʻetau kumi ʻuhingá. ʻOku fakamanatu mai ʻe kinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻuhingá ha fānau ʻoku nau fakapuliki honau matá ʻo pehē kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo sio mai, ʻoku ʻikai ke tau lava mo kitautolu ʻo sio kiate kinautolu. ʻOku ou fokotuʻu atu kapau te tau fakakaukau ki hano ʻekea ʻe he Fakamoʻuí meiate kitautolu ʻetau ngāué, te tau toki vakai moʻoni ki heʻetau kumi ʻuhingá.

ʻOku mau ʻilo ʻoku ʻi ai ha niʻihi kuo nau fakahoko ha tōʻonga ʻoku fehangahangai mo e tuʻunga moʻui toputapu ʻo e angamaʻá. Fakamolemole, ʻai ke mahino koeʻuhí ko e Fakalelei ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, ʻe lava ke fakatomala ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pea foki ʻo hangē ko e vai tupú, ki ha tuʻunga maʻa mo haohaoa. ʻOku faingataʻa ke fakatomala, he ʻoku fie maʻu ha loto mafesifesi mo e laumālie fakatomala.10 Ka ko e taimi ko ia ʻoku muimui totonu ai ki he ngaahi sitepu ʻo e fakatomalá, ʻe ʻaonga leva ʻa e akonaki ne fai ʻe ʻAlamā ki hono foha ko Kolianitoní, ʻa ia naʻá ne fakahoko ha ngaahi maumaufono: “Pea ko ʻeni, ʻe hoku foha, ʻoku ou loto ke ʻoua naʻá ke tuku ke toe fakahohaʻasi koe ʻe he ngaahi meʻá ni, kae tuku pē hoʻo ngaahi angahalá ke fakahohaʻasi koe, ʻaki ʻa e hohaʻa ʻa ia ʻe ʻohifo ai koe ki he fakatomalá.”11 Naʻe folofola e Fakamoʻuí, “Vakai, ko ia ia kuó ne fakatomala mei heʻene ngaahi angahalá, ʻoku fakamolemoleʻi ia, pea ko au ko e ʻEikí, ʻoku ʻikai te u toe manatu ki ai.”12

ʻOku faingofua ke tau puputuʻu ʻi hono fokotuʻutuʻu e fakahokohoko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mahuʻingá. ʻOku ʻi ai hotau fatongia ke fakapapauʻi ʻoku malu fakaesino mo lelei ʻetau fānaú. Ka neongo ia, ko e ngaahi mātuʻa ʻe niʻihi ʻoku tō ʻenau fakamamafá ki he ngaahi meʻa fakamāmaní mo e koloá. ʻOku ʻi ai e niʻihi ʻoku ʻikai ke nau faivelenga ʻi heʻenau ngāue ke akoʻi ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ki heʻenau fānaú.14 Manatuʻi, ʻoku mahuʻinga tatau pē ʻetau tokanga ko ia ʻi ʻapi ki he ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālié mo hono tokonaki ʻo e meʻakaí, valá mo e nofoʻangá. ʻE lava ke tokoni e ngaahi mātuʻá ki he fānaú ke nau ʻilo pea fakatupulaki honau ngaahi talēnití. ʻOku tau fatongia ʻaki e ngaahi talēniti kuo tau maʻú. Ko e fānau ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ke akoʻi ke nau ʻilo ʻe ʻekeʻi meiate kinautolu ʻa honau taimí mo e ngaahi talēnití, ʻoku lahi ange ʻenau moʻulaloa ki he fakavalevalé mo e anga taʻe māʻoniʻoni ʻa ia ʻoku nau lahi fau ʻi he māmaní.15 ʻOku fakatokanga ʻa e fanongonongo ki he fāmilí ko e niʻihi fakafoʻituituí “ ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fakahoko honau ngaahi fatongia fakafāmilí, te nau tuʻu ʻi ha ʻaho ʻo fai ha fakamatala ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá.”16

Ko e fatongia tauhi hono uá ko hono tokangaʻi ʻo e masivá mo e paeá, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai pē taimi ʻoku tau kau atu ki ai. Ko e fakatokanga ko ia ʻa e ʻEikí ʻoku tau hoko ko e kau tauhi kiate kinautolu ʻoku faingataʻaʻiá, ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi lea mālohi taha ʻi he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi folofolá: “Kapau ʻe toʻo ʻe ha tangata ha meʻa mei he meʻa lahi ʻa ia kuo ngaohí, ʻo ʻikai foaki hono ʻinasi … ki he masivá mo e paeá, te ne hiki hake ʻa hono matá ʻi heli fakataha mo e kakai angahalá, kuó ne ʻi he fakamamahi.”17 ʻI heʻetau hoko ko e kau tauhí, ʻe ʻekea meiate kitautolu ʻa e founga ʻo ʻetau tauhi ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki fakaemāmani kuo ʻomi ʻe he ʻEikí.”

ʻI he ʻaʻahi mai ko ia e kau lāpaí ki he Uelofea Sikueá ne ongo kiate kinautolu ʻenau ʻilo neongo e taimi faingataʻa fakaʻekonōmiká, ka ʻoku kei hoko atu pē e foaki ʻa e kāingalotú ke tokoni ki he masivá mo e faingataʻaʻiá.

ʻOku ou manatu ki he taimi ne ui ai au ko ha pīsopé, ne fakatokanga mai ʻa e pīsope ne u fetongí, Pīsope Lāsolo Sionisoni, ke u mātuʻaki tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa te u kole ki he kāingalotú ke nau faí.

ʻI ha Tokonaki ʻe taha, naʻe telefoni mai ai ha fefine ʻo pehē, “Pīsope, haʻu fakavavevave ʻo fakahaofi ʻa Sala!” Naʻe fakahoko mai ʻe he fefiné ni ko e fefine taʻu 80 ko Salá ʻokú ne kaka ʻi ha tuʻunga ke fakamaʻa hifo e fakatali vai ʻa e kaungāʻapí.

ʻOku ʻikai ko ʻeku ʻuhingá te mou lava pe ʻoku totonu ke mou faʻifaʻitaki kia Sala. ʻOku ongoʻi halaia e niʻihi ko e ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo fai leva ha tokoni ʻi he fie maʻu kotoa pē. ʻOku ou saiʻia he lea ʻa ʻAna Molou Linipeeki ʻoku faʻa ngāue ʻaki ʻe ʻEletā Niila A. Mekisuele ʻa ia ʻoku pehē: “ ʻOku ʻikai ke u lava ʻo fai ha meʻa feʻunga ʻi heʻeku moʻuí ke fakaai ʻa e ngaahi fie maʻu ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻoku ou loto ke u tokoniʻí.”18 Naʻe ako ʻaki ʻe he Tuʻi ko Penisimaní ʻo pehē, “Pea tokanga ke fai e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he fakapotopoto mo e maau, he ʻoku ʻikai fie maʻu ke lele ʻa e tangatá ʻo vave ange ʻi he mālohi ʻokú ne maʻú.”19 Pea naʻá ne toe tānaki mai ʻa e fie maʻu ke tau faivelengá.
