Ki he Lea mo e Kakai Fulipē
ʻI he taimi naʻe foaki ai ʻe ʻAlamā ko e palōfita he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻa e lekooti hono kakaí ki hono foha ko Hilamaní, naʻá ne tala ki hono fohá ke ne manatuʻi naʻe ʻi ai “ha taumuʻa fakapotopoto” ʻa e ʻEikí ki hono fakatolonga ʻa e folofolá (ʻAlamā 37:12). Naʻá ne lea ʻo kau ki he lekōtí, “ʻE tauhi ia mo tukufakaholo mai mei he toʻu tangata ʻe taha ki he toʻu tangata ʻe taha … kae ʻoua ke mafola atu ia ki he puleʻanga, faʻahinga, lea mo e kakai fulipē” (ʻAlamā 37:4).
Naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e ngaahi lekooti ko iá he 1827 pea ʻosi hono liliu kinautolú ʻaki e meʻafoaki mo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he 1829 he lea faka-Pilitāniá. Naʻe hoko e tohi naʻe pulusi he 1830 ko ha meʻangāue fakafaifekau mālohi ia ki hono fakalotoʻi e kau laukongá ki hono moʻoni ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. Hili hono fuofua paaki ha tatau ʻe 5,000 ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ne hangē hono teu fakafolau atu e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ki he “puleʻanga, faʻahinga, lea, mo e kakai fulipē,” ko ha meʻa ia ʻe taʻemalava.
Ka naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e kikite ko ʻení kia Siosefa Sāmita he 1833, ʻo fakahā ha ʻaho ʻe “fanongo ʻa e tangata kotoa pē ki hono kakato ʻo e ongoongoleleí ʻi hono ʻelelo ʻoʻoná, pea ʻi heʻene lea ʻaʻaná” (T&F 90:11). Ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻoku “ʻi ai … hono kakato ʻo e ongoongoleleí” (T&F 20:9), ʻokú ne fakahoko ha ngāue mahuʻinga ʻi hono fakahoko e kikite ko ʻení.
Naʻe ʻave ʻa e ongoongoleleí ki ʻIulope ʻi he konga loto ʻo e ngaahi taʻu 1800. Naʻe pulusi e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he lea faka-Tenimaʻaké ʻi he 1851, hoko mai ʻa Falanisē, Siamane, ʻĪtali, mo Uelesi ʻi he 1852. ʻI he ʻahó ni ʻoku lava ke maʻu kakato e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi ha lea fakafonua ʻe 82, pea ko ha lea fakafonua leva ʻe 25 ʻi he ngaahi vahe pē kuo filifili.

ʻOku faʻa aʻu pē ʻo lauitaʻu e ngāue ʻoku fai ki hono liliu e Tohi ʻa Molomoná mei he lea faka-Pilitāniá ki ha lea fakafonua foʻoú pea toki kakato. ʻOku toki kamata pē ia hili hono tali ʻe he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Kōlomu ʻa e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ke fai ʻa e ngāué pea ʻoku tokolahi feʻunga ʻa e kāingalotu ko ʻenau lea fakafonua totonú ʻa e lea fakafonua ko iá ke nau hoko ko e kau liliu lea. ʻOku fai hano vakaiʻi fakalelei e kau liliu leá mo kinautolu ʻoku toe vakaiʻi ʻa e liliú pea fakahinohinoʻi ke nau vāofi ʻaupito mo e Laumālié ʻi heʻenau liliú.

ʻE lava ke maʻu ʻe he kāingalotú ʻa e tohi foʻoú mei he Ngaahi Fale Tufakiʻanga Nāunaú, hili hono pulusí.

Ka ʻoku mahino lelei ange ʻa e ongoongoleleí ʻi he maheni ko ia ha taha mo ʻene lea tuʻufonuá. Naʻe mamata tonu ʻa ʻĒliki Kemueli ʻa ia naʻe ngāue he Misiona Lupilana Siloveniá mei he 2001 ki he 2003, ki he makehe hono maʻu ʻe he kāingalotú mo e kau fiefanongó ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he lea fakafonua ne nau fuofua ʻiló.

Naʻe tau mai e ʻuluaki uta ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he lea faka-Siloveniá, he māhina ʻe ono pea toki foki ʻa ʻĒliki ki ʻapí.
