“Ko Hoku Ngaahi ʻAho” ʻo e Temipalé mo e Tekinolosiá

Mei ha lea, “Kumi Hotau Kāingá,” naʻe fai ʻi he fakataha lotu maʻá e toʻu tupú ʻi he ʻAho ʻIlo e Fāmilí fekauʻaki mo e Konifelenisi Hisitōlia Fakafāmili RootsTech 2014 ʻi Sōleki Siti, ʻIutā, ʻi he ʻaho 8 ʻo Fēpueli 2014. Ke ako lahi ange, ʻaʻahi ki he lds.org/go/Andersen215.

Kuó ke fifili nai pe ko e hā ne ʻomi ai koe ki he māmaní he taimí ni kae ʻikai ʻi ha kuonga kehe ʻi he hisitōliá? Naʻe mei fēfē nai ʻa e tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo Mōsesé pe ke hoko ko ha kaungāmeʻa ʻo Mele, faʻē ʻa Sīsuú? Fēfē ʻa e moʻui ʻi Nāvuú ʻi he taimi naʻe fononga ai e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi he ngaahi halá, pe kau fakataha atu mo e toʻu tupu naʻa nau toho mo teke ʻenau ngaahi salioté ʻi ha maile ʻe lauiafe ki ha ʻapi foʻou ʻi he Teleʻa Ano Māsimá?

Taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku tau vakai ki he ngaahi ʻaho kimuʻá pe ko ha ngaahi feituʻu kehekehe pea tau fehuʻi, “Ko e hā ne ʻikai ko au ai iá? Ko e hā ʻoku ou ʻi he feituʻu ai ko ʻení ʻi he taimi ní?”

ʻOku ʻikai ko koe pē kuo fuofua fifili fekauʻaki mo e taimi mo e feituʻu ʻo hoʻo moʻuí. Naʻe fehuʻi ʻe ha palōfita nofo ʻi he ongo ʻAmeliká ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi tatau pē. Ko hono hingoá ko Nīfai—ʻikai ko Nīfai ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ka ko Nīfai foha ʻo Hilamani hono uá mo e mokopuna ua ʻo e palōfita ko ʻAlamā ko e Siʻí.

ʻI he māmani naʻe nofo ai ʻa Nīfaí, naʻe mahuʻinga ange e paʻangá, mālohí, mo e manakoá ʻi he meʻa naʻe totonú. Ne tokolahi e kakai ne nau situʻa moʻoni mei he ngaahi fekaú. Naʻa nau loi, kaihaʻa, pea siʻaki e fono ʻo e angamaʻá. Ne manukia mo ngaohikovia ʻa kinautolu ne nau tauhi e ngaahi fekaú (vakai, Hilamani 7:4–5, 21; 8:2, 5, 7–8).

“ʻI he mamata ʻa Nīfai [ki he ngaahi meʻá ni], naʻe fonu ʻa hono lotó ʻi he mamahi … pea naʻá ne [tangi] ʻi he mamahi ʻa hono laumālié:

“Taumaiā, naʻá ku lava ʻo maʻu hoku ngaahi ʻahó ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe fua haʻu ai ʻa ʻeku tamai ko Nīfaí mei he fonua ko Selūsalemá, ke u lava nai ke fiefia mo ia ʻi he fonua ʻo e talaʻofá; pea naʻe akoʻingofua ʻa hono kakaí ʻi he taimi ko iá, ʻo nau fai mālohi ʻi he tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea tuai ke tohoakiʻi atu ke fai angahala; pea naʻa nau fai vave ʻi he tokanga ki he ngaahi folofola ʻa e ʻEikí—

“ʻIo, ka naʻá ku moʻui ʻi hoku ngaahi ʻahó ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko iá, pehē kuo maʻu ʻe hoku laumālié ʻa e fiefia ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻa hoku kāingá” (Hilamani 7:6–8).

Ko Nīfaí ko ha palōfita fakaofo ʻa e ʻOtuá, ka naʻá ne fifili ʻi ha kiʻi momeniti siʻi pe ko e hā naʻá ne moʻui ai ʻi he māmaní lolotonga hono taimí. Naʻá ne ʻilo ʻe hāʻele mai e Fakamoʻuí ki māmani ʻi he kahaʻu vave maí, ka ʻi ha foʻi momeniti, ne ngali puli ngofua kiate ia e ngaahi meʻa fakaʻofoʻofa ne vave ʻene hokó.

ʻI ha taʻu ʻe 20 mei he taimi naʻá ne leaʻaki iá, ʻe mahili atu ha pō taʻe fakapoʻuli pea ʻaloʻi ʻa Sīsū ʻi Pētelihema. Ne ʻikai lava ha taʻu ʻe 55, naʻe toetuʻu ai e Fakamoʻuí ʻi he sino nāunauʻia, pea hāʻele hifo mei he langí ki he Kāingalotu ʻi he fonua ko Mahú. Naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e foha ʻo Nīfaí, pea fefolofolai fakatāutaha ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mo ia pea fakanofo ko e taha ʻo e kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu mā ua naʻe fili ʻi he Hemisifia Fakahihifó. Te tau lava ke pehē naʻe ʻi ai e ngaahi ʻofefine mo e ngaahi foha mo e makapuna ʻo Nīfaí ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e Kāingalotu ʻe toko 2,500 ne fakaafeʻi tahataha ʻe Kalaisi ke haʻu pea ongoʻi e ngaahi matakafo ʻo e faʻó ʻi Hono ongo nimá mo e vaʻé. He ʻikai faingataʻa ʻa e tui naʻe ʻi ai e makapuna ua ʻo Nīfaí ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e fānau valevale ko ia ne tāpuekina tahataha ʻe he Fakamoʻuí pea naʻe takatakai ʻa kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e afí pea tauhi ʻe he kau ʻāngeló. Kapau ne lava ʻa Nīfai ʻo mamata ki he kahaʻu ʻo hono fāmili angatonú mo e ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, ko e moʻoni he ʻikai te ne loto ke liliu ʻa e taimi ʻo ʻene moʻui fakamatelié.

Ka naʻe moʻui angamāʻoniʻoni ʻa Nīfai mo loto houngaʻia, ʻo ne akoʻi e kakaí ʻi he loto toʻa, ngāue ʻi ha ngaahi mana lalahi, pea kikiteʻi fakataha mo e palōfita ko Sāmiuelá ʻa e tuʻunuku ʻo e hāʻele mai e Fakamoʻuí. Naʻe talaʻofa ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi Heʻene folofola pē ʻaʻaná te Ne tāpuakiʻi ʻa Nīfai ʻo taʻengata (vakai, Hilamani 10–11; 16).

Neongo naʻá ne fifili fekauʻaki mo e taimí mo e feituʻú, ka naʻá ne fakaʻosi ʻaki ha ngaahi lea mālohi ʻaupito: “Vakai, … [ko hoku] ngaahi ʻahó…ʻeni” (Hilamani 7:9).

ʻOku tuku ha ngaahi aʻusia ki ha ngaahi toʻu tangata pau. ʻOku ou fie lave ki ha taha ʻo hoʻo ngaahi fatongia toputapu ʻa ia kuo teʻeki ai ke tatau mo ha toe toʻu tangata ki muʻa.

Ko e ngaahi taʻu siʻi pē ʻeni kuo ʻi ai ha ngaahi temipale ʻi he funga māmaní. ʻI hono fakatapui ʻo e Temipale Finiki ʻAlesoná ʻi he ʻaho 16 ʻo Nōvema 2014, kuo ʻi ai eni ha temipale ʻe 144 ʻoku lolotonga ngāue ʻi he māmaní. ʻI heʻeku kei siʻí, ne ʻi ai ha temipale ʻe 13 ʻi he māmaní.

Naʻe tupu hake hoku uaifi ko Sisitā Kefi ʻEnitasení ʻi he siteiti ʻo Folōlita, USA. ʻI hono taʻu nimá, ne ʻomi ʻe heʻene ongomātuʻá honau fāmilí ki he temipalé ke silaʻi fakataha kinautolu ke taʻengata. Naʻe fie maʻu ha ʻaho ʻe ono ki he fononga ko ʻení ʻi he ʻIunaiteti Siteití, ʻo fakaʻuli ʻi ha maile ʻe 2,500 (kilomita ʻe 4,023) ki he Temipale Sōlekí. ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi temipale ʻe 47 he ʻahó ni ʻoku ofi ange ki honau ʻapi ʻi Folōlitá ʻi he Temipale Sōlekí.

Kuo fakalotolahi ʻa Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni ki he toʻu tupu ʻo e Siasí ke nau ō maʻu pē ki he temipalé ke fakahoko e papitaiso maʻá e kau pekiá. Naʻá ne pehē: “ʻE hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa kei talavou ʻi he toʻu tupú, fakakaukau maʻu pē ki he temipalé. ʻOua naʻá ke fai ha meʻa te ne taʻofi koe mei haʻo hū atu ʻi hono ngaahi matapaá ʻo maʻu e ngaahi tāpuaki toputapu mo taʻengata aí. ʻOku ou fakamālō atu kiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻalu maʻu pē ki he temipalé ke fakahoko e papitaiso maʻá e kau pekiá, ʻi hoʻomou tuʻu hengihengi hake ke mou kau atu ʻi he ngaahi papitaiso peheé kimuʻa pea kamata e akó. ʻOku ʻikai ke u lava ʻo fakakaukau atu ki ha founga lelei ange ai ke kamata ʻaki e ʻahó.”2

Kuo mou talangofua ki he palōfita ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻo foaki e faingamālie ʻi he taʻu takitaha ki he lau miliona ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e veilí ke nau tali honau papitaisó. Kuo teʻeki maʻu ʻe ha toʻu tangata ʻi he moʻuí ni ha faingamālie lahi pehē fau ʻo hangē ko kimoutolú ke hū atu ʻi he ngaahi matapā ʻo e fale ʻo e ʻEikí pea tokoni ʻi hono fakamoʻui ʻo kinautolu kuo moʻui kimuʻa ʻiate kitautolú.

Hangē ko ia ʻoku mou ʻiloʻi leleí, ʻoku ʻi ai haʻuluaki sitepu mahuʻinga ʻokú ne fakaʻatā kitautolu ke fakahoko ʻa e ngāue toputapu ʻo e temipalé. Kuo pau ke tau fekumi ke maʻu e kau mēmipa ʻo hotau ngaahi fāmilí kuo pekiá.

ʻI he fuofua ʻaʻahi mai ʻa Molonai ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, naʻá ne fakahā kia Siosefa “ʻe liliu ʻa e loto ʻo e fānaú ki heʻenau ngaahi tamaí” (T&F 2:2). Naʻe toki fakamatala ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefá kimui ange ʻe hoko e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí “ko ha kau fai-fakamoʻui ʻi he Moʻunga ko Saioné.” Naʻá ne fehuʻi, … “Ka ʻe founga fēfē haʻanau hoko ko ha kau fai-fakamoʻui ʻi he Moʻunga ko Saioné?” “ʻAki haʻanau langa honau ngaahi temipalé … pea laka atu ʻo maʻu ʻa e kotoa ʻo e ngaahi ouaú … maʻa ʻenau ngaahi kui kotoa kuo pekiá, … [pea] ko e seini ʻeni ʻokú ne haʻi ʻa e loto ʻo e ngaahi tamaí ki he fānaú, mo e loto ʻo e fānaú ki heʻenau ngaahi tamaí.”3

Naʻe lea ʻa e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá kau ki he ngāué ni ko “ha fehokotakiʻanga mālohi” ʻi hono fakafehokotaki fakataha ʻo e ngaahi fāmilí mei he toʻu tangata ʻe taha ki ha toʻu tangata kehe (T&F 128:18).
