Naʻe mahino mei he ngaahi meʻa ne aʻusia ʻe he moʻui ʻa Palesiteni Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmitá ʻa e ʻikai ngata pē heʻene tui ki he ongoongoleleí—ka naʻá ne moʻui ʻaki ia.
ʻI he fakaʻosinga ʻo ha ʻaho ngāue lahi, naʻe tangutu ai ʻa Sione A. Uitisou ʻi hono ʻōfisí, “kuo fuʻu helaʻia he ngāue ʻo e ʻahó.” Naʻá ne fehangahangai mo ha palopalema faingataʻa, pea ongo kiate ia ʻa e mafatukituki ʻo e ngaahi fatongiá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Naʻá ku fuʻu ongosia.”
“Naʻe fai ange he taimi ko iá ha tukituki ʻi he matapaá, pea hū ange ʻa Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmita. Naʻá ne pehē mai, ‘Ko e ʻai eni ke u foki ki ʻapi hili ʻeku ngāue he ʻaho ní. Ne u fakakaukau mai kiate koe mo e ngaahi palopalema ko ia ʻoku fie maʻu ke ke fakaleleiʻí. Naʻá ku haʻú ke fakafiemālieʻi mo tāpuakiʻi koe.’
“… He ʻikai teitei ngalo ia ʻiate au. Naʻá ma talatalanoa pē; peá ma māvae peá ne ʻalu ia ki hono ʻapí. Naʻe ʻikai ke u kei ongosia.”
ʻI ha ngaahi taʻu lahi ki mui nae manatuʻi ʻe ʻEletā Uitisou (1872–1952) ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá e meʻa ko ʻeni naʻe hokó ʻo ne pehē: “Ko e founga ia ʻa Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmitá. … Naʻá ne foaki hono taimí, pea mo hono mālohí.”1
Naʻe hoko ʻa Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmita (1870–1951), ko e Palesiteni ia hono valu ʻo e Siasí, mei he 1945 ki he 1951, ʻa ia naʻá ne tui kapau ʻoku tau maʻu moʻoni ha fakamoʻoni ki he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻe hāsino ia ʻi heʻetau moʻuí—tautefito ki he anga ʻetau fetauhiʻakí. Naʻá ne akoʻi, “ko e fakamoʻoni mālohi taha ʻe lava ke tau fai ki hono moʻoni ʻo e ngāué ni ko ha moʻui angatonu mo pau.”2

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻafu he faʻahitaʻu māfaná, naʻe ʻi ai ha kau ngāue naʻe fai ʻenau monomono hala ʻi tuʻa he ʻapi ʻo Palesiteni Sāmitá. ʻI he lahi ʻa e ngāué pea ulo kakaha e laʻaá, naʻe kamata ke kapekape mo lea kovi e kau ngāué. Ne tuai-e-kemo mo e haʻu ha taha ʻo e kaungāʻapí ʻo tafuluʻi e kau ngāué ʻi heʻenau lea koví, ʻo talaange ʻoku ofi mai ai e ʻapi ʻo Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmitá. Naʻe ʻikai ke tokanga e kau ngāué ki ai kae toe lahi ange ʻenau kapekapé.
ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe ʻi peito ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita ʻo fai ʻene fakasuka inu lēmani. Naʻá ne ʻomi ia ʻi ha laulau mo ha ngaahi ipu sioʻata pea talaange ki he kau ngāué, “ ʻE hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa, ʻoku mou velahia mo helaʻia. ʻE lava ke mou haʻu ʻo tangutu ʻi hoku lalo ʻakaú ʻo maʻu ai ha kiʻi inu mokomoko?”
Naʻe ongoʻi fakatōkilalo mo houngaʻia e kau ngāué ʻo tali ʻene kolé, pea hili ʻenau kiʻi mālōloó ne nau fakaʻosi fakalongolongo mo anga fakaʻapaʻapa leva ʻenau ngāué.3
ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he ngaahi meʻa peheni ʻoku hokó ʻa e tui ko ia ʻa Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmita te tau lava ke “fakaleleiʻi ʻetau ngaahi palopalemá ʻi he laumālie ʻo e ʻofa mo e angaʻofa ki he kakai kotoa pē.”4 Naʻá ne pehe, “ ʻOku ʻi ai e niʻihi te nau fai ha ngaahi fehālaaki. ʻOku ʻi ai hatau niʻihi he ʻahó ni kuo nau hē atu, ka ko e fānau kinautolu ʻa hotau ʻEikí pea ʻokú ne ʻofa ʻiate kinautolu. Kuó Ne foaki mai ʻa e totonu kiate kitautolu ke tau ō atu ʻi he angaʻofa mo e ʻofa mo e faʻa kātki pea mo e loto ʻoku holi ke faitāpuekina kinautolu, mo feinga ke taʻofi kinautolu mei he ngaahi fehāhaaki ʻoku nau fakahoko pē. ʻOku ʻikai ʻaʻaku ke fakamāuʻi kinautolu. … Ka ko hoku monū ka fakatafoki kinautolu ki he hala ʻoku taki atu ki he moʻui taʻengatá ʻi he puleʻanga faka-Silesitialé.”5
“Toki meʻa fakafiefia, toki meʻa fakanonga, toki meʻa fakafiemālie ʻe lava ke fakafou atu ʻi he angaʻofá ʻo fakalahi atu ʻaki ki he moʻui ʻa hotau kaungāʻapí mo e kaungāmeʻá. ʻOku ou loto ke u tohi [mataʻitohi lahi] e foʻi lea ko iá ʻaki ha ngaahi lanu mataʻāʻā ʻi he ʻataá.

Ko Hono Vahevahe ʻa e Ongoongoleleí
Naʻe fakakaukau ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita ko hono vahevahe ko ia ʻa e ongoongoleleí “ko e tumutumu ʻeni ʻo e angaʻofá.”7 Naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi mo fiefia ʻi he ngaahi lelei ʻoku maʻu ʻi he ngaahi siasi kehé, ka naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa makehe mo mahuʻinga ʻi he ongoongolelei kuo toe fakafoki maí ke foaki maʻá e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.
Naʻe ʻi ai ha taimi naʻe talaange ai ʻe ha taha kiate ia he lolotonga ʻene hoko ko e palesiteni fakamisioná, “Mei he meʻa kuó u ʻiló, ʻoku lelei tatau pē homou siasí mo ha toe siasi kehe.”
Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Sāmita, “Mahalo naʻá ne pehē ʻe ia ko ha lau lelei ʻeni kiate kitautolu; ka ne u pehē ange ki ai: ‘Kapau ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻinga ange ʻa e Siasi ʻoku ou fakafofongaʻí ki he fānau ʻa e tangatá ʻi ha toe siasi kehe, ta ʻoku hala ʻeku maʻu ki hoku fatongia hení.’”8
Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita ko e ʻuhinga ʻe taha ʻoku fuʻu mahuʻinga ai ʻetau pōpoakí, ko e foʻi moʻoni ko ia “ko e Kāingalotu pē ʻo e Siasí ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e mafai ʻo ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ke ngāue ʻi he ngaahi ouau ʻo e Ongoongoleleí. ʻOku fie maʻu kitautolu ʻe māmani.”9
Koeʻuhí ko e meʻa ko ʻení, naʻe loto ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita ke ongoʻi ʻe he Kāingalotú “ha holi lahi mo ha loto-vēkeveke ke vahevahe mo e fānau kotoa ʻa ʻetau Tamaí ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lelei kuó ne angalelei ʻo foaki mai kiate kitautolú.”10
Naʻá ne pehē, “ ʻOku ou ongoʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku ʻikai ke tau ʻilo feʻunga ki hono mahuʻinga ʻo e [ongoongoleleí], ʻo ʻikai ai ke tau akoʻi fakamātoato ia ʻo hangē ko e fie maʻú.”11
Naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe hano kaungāmeʻa ofi ʻa e anga hono fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Sāmita ʻa e “fakamātoató” ʻi hono vahevahe ʻo e ongoongoleleí: “Ne u maʻu faingamālie he taimi lahi ke fononga fakataha mo Palesiteni Sāmita ʻi he lēlué. Ne u fakatokangaʻi he taimi kotoa ko ʻene lele pē ʻa e lēlue kuó ne toʻo hake ha fanga kiʻi tohi kau ki he ongoongoleleí mei heʻene kató ʻo faʻo ʻi he kato hono koté, pea [toki] ʻalu atu ke feohi mo e kau pāsesé. ʻI hono ʻulungāanga fakakaumeʻá, naʻe ʻikai ke fuoloa kuo maheni mo ha taha, pea taimi siʻi pē kuó u fanongo atu ki heʻene fai ki ai e talanoa ki hono fokotuʻu ʻo e Siasí ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá pe fakamatala ki he fononga ʻa e Kāingalotú mei Nāvuú mo honau ʻahiʻahiʻí pea mo ʻenau ngaahi faingataʻaʻia he kolosi he ngaahi manafa ki ʻIutaá pe fakamatalaʻi e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí ki hono kaungāmeʻa foʻoú. ʻE talanoa mo e kau pāsese kehekehe ʻo toki tuku pē he aʻu ʻemau fonongá. ʻI he kotoa e taimi ne u feohi ai mo Palesiteni Sāmitá, ʻa ia naʻe laka hake he taʻu ʻe fāngofulú, ne u ʻiloʻi ko e meʻa ʻuluaki mo mahuʻinga taha kiate ia ʻi ha feituʻu pē ʻokú ne ʻi aí, ko ʻene hoko ko ha faifekau maʻá e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní.”12
Ko Hono Akoʻi ʻEtau Fānaú
Naʻe toʻo mamafa ʻe Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmita mo hono uaifi ko Lusí, ʻa e fatongia fakalangi ke “akonakiʻi hake ʻa [ʻena] fānaú ʻi he māmá mo e moʻoní” (T&F 93:40). Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe hona ʻofefine ko ʻEita ha taimi ne fakaʻaongaʻi lelei ai ʻe heʻene tangataʻeikí ha faingamālie ke fai ai ha akoʻi. Naʻá ne heka mai he pasí ki ʻapi hili ha ako tā piano, pea ngalo he tokotaha pesá ke tānaki ʻene totongí. Naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi, “Naʻe fakalaka hake pē ia ʻia au, pea ne u aʻu ki ʻapi ʻoku ou kei toʻotoʻo pē ʻeku sēnití, pea naʻá ku fiefia lahi heʻeku heka taʻetotongí.
“… Naʻá ku lele fiefia ki he Tangataʻeikí ke talaange ʻeku monūʻiá. Naʻá ne fanongo fakalongolongo pē ki heʻeku talanoá. Naʻe kamata ke u fakakaukau ko e meʻa lelei kuo hoko kiate aú. …
“ʻI he ʻosi ʻeku talanoá, naʻe pehē mai ʻe he Tangataʻeikí, “Taʻahine, neongo naʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻeni ʻe he tangata pesá, ka ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi peá u ʻiloʻi pea ʻoku ʻafioʻi ia ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní. Ko ia, ʻoku kei ʻi ai pē ʻa e toko tolu kuo pau ke nau ongoʻi fiemālie ʻokú ke totongi kakato ki hoʻo heká.’”
Naʻe foki ʻa ʻEita ki he tuliki halá ʻo ʻave ʻene totongi pasí. Naʻá ne fakahā kimui, “ʻOku ou fakamālō koeʻuhi ko ha Tamai fakapotopoto naʻá ne fakamahinoʻi mai kiate au ʻeku fehālaakí, he kapau naʻe ʻikai ke fakatokangaʻi, ne u mei pehē pē ʻe au naʻe sai pē ia ki ai.”13
Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita ki he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ʻoku maʻu ʻe he ʻofá ʻa e mālohi ke ueʻi e loto ʻo e fānaú ke moʻui angatonu: “Akoʻi hoʻomou fānaú ke nau tauhi ʻa e fono ʻo e angaamaʻá.

“Ko hotau fatongiá—ʻoku totonu ke u pehē ko hotau faingamālie mo hotau fatongia ke fakaʻaongaʻi ha taimi feʻunga ke maluʻi takai ʻetau fānaú mo ʻofa ʻiate kinautolu pea ʻai ke nau ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu koeʻuhí ke nau fiefia ke fakafanongo ki heʻetau faleʻí mo e akonakí.”15
Ko e Ngaahi Fāmili Taʻengatá
Hili e taʻu ʻe 40 e mali ʻa Siaosi ʻAlipate mo Lusi Sāmitá ne kamata ke mahamahaki ʻa Lusi pea holo ai ʻene moʻuí. Neongo ʻene hohaʻa ki aí pea feinga ke fakafiemālieʻi ia he lelei taha te ne ala lavá, ka naʻe lahi e taimi naʻe mamaʻo ai ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita mei ʻapi ʻi hono fatongia ko e Taki Māʻolungá. ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha hili ha lea ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita ʻi ha meʻafakaʻeiki, naʻe ʻoange kiate ia ʻe ha taha ha kiʻi tohi ʻo fakahā mai ke ne foki he vave tahá ki ʻapi. Naʻá ne tohi ki mui ʻi heʻene tohinoá ʻo pehē:
“Ne u ʻalu he taimi pē ko iá mei falelotu ka ne siʻi mālōlō hoku uaifi ʻofaʻangá ʻoku teʻeki ai ke u aʻu ki ʻapi. Ne mālōlō ia lolotonga ʻeku lea ʻi he meʻafakaʻeikí. Ko e moʻoni kuo mole hoku tokoni moʻui līʻoá pea te u taʻelata heʻene pulí.”
Naʻá ne hoko atu, “Neongo ʻa e loto-mamahi lahi ʻa homau fāmilí, ka naʻa mau fiemālie pē ʻi heʻemau ʻilo pau te mau toe fakataha mo [ia] kapau te mau faivelenga. … ʻOku angaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí pea kuó ne toʻo atu kotoa ʻa e ongoʻi ʻo e maté, pea ʻoku ou fakamālō lahi ai.”16
