Tokoni ʻUluaki ʻi he Kau Palesitenisī Lahi ʻo e Fineʻofá
Siʻoku ngaahi tokoua, ʻoku ui mai e kau palōfitá kiate kitautolu. Te mou anga māʻoniʻoni nai? Te mou fakamahinoʻi nai hoʻomou tuí? Te mou fakaulo atu nai homou māmá?
Mahalo ʻoku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻeni, ka ko au mo Palesiteni Monisoní ko e ongo māhanga. ʻI he ʻaho pē ko ia ne fāʻeleʻi ai aú—ʻi he houa tatau—ʻi he fakatokelau ʻo Kalefōniá, naʻe hikinimaʻi ai e tangata taʻu 36 ko Tōmasi Monisoní, ko e ʻAposetolo foʻou taha ʻo e Siasí. ʻOku ou fiefia ʻi heʻeku fakafehokotaki fakataautaha makehe mo e palōfita ʻo e ʻOtuá ko Palesiteni Monisoni.
ʻOku lea ʻa e kau palōfitá fekauʻaki mo e kakai fefiné.1 Te mou ongona ʻi he fakatahá ni ha niʻihi ʻo ʻenau ngaahi leá. ʻI heʻeku leá, ʻoku ou toe foki ʻi ha taʻu ʻe meimei 40 ki ha kikite fakaofo naʻe tohi ʻe Palesiteni Sipenisā W. Kimipolo. ʻI Sepitema 1979, ko e fakataha fakamāmani lahi fika ua pē ia ʻa e kakai fefine ʻo e Siasí ʻi heʻenau fakataha pē ʻanautolú. Naʻe teuteuʻi ʻe Palesiteni Kimipolo ʻa ʻene leá, ka ʻi he hokosia e ʻaho ʻo e konifelenisí, naʻá ne tokoto ai ʻi falemahaki. Ko ia ai, naʻá ne kole ange ki hono uaifi ko Kamila ʻAealingi Kimipoló, ke ne ʻalu ʻo lau ʻene leá.2
Naʻe lau ʻe Sisitā Kimipolo e ngaahi lea ʻa e palōfitá, ʻa ia naʻe fakamamafa ʻi he ivi tākiekina ʻo e kakai fefine Siasí ʻi he kakai fefine lelei ʻo e māmaní kimuʻa ʻi he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí. ʻI he fakaofi ke ʻosí, naʻe ʻi ai ha ongo fakafiefia moʻoni ʻi he kakai fefine ʻo e Siasí, ʻa ia kuo talanoaʻi talu mei ai.
Tuku muʻa ke u lau atu ha kiʻi konga ʻo e lea ʻa Palesiteni Kimipoló:
“Ko ʻeni, siʻoku tuofāfine ʻofeina, tuku muʻa ke u fokotuʻu atu ha meʻa kuo teʻeki lea ʻaki kimuʻa pe ʻi he foungá ni. Ko e konga lahi ʻo e tupu tokolahi ʻa e Siasí ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí, ʻe hoko ia tupu mei he tokolahi e kakai fefine lelei ʻo e māmaní … te nau kau tokolahi mai ki he Siasí. ʻE hoko ʻeni ʻo aʻu ki he hāsino mei he kakai fefine ʻo e Siasí ʻa e anga māʻoniʻoní mo ʻenau fakamahinoʻi ʻenau tuí te nau makehe—mei he kakai fefine ʻo e māmaní—ʻi ha ngaahi founga ʻoku fakafiefia.
“ʻOku kau ʻi he kau moʻungaʻi fefine moʻoni ʻi he māmaní ʻe kau ki he Siasí, ha kakai fefine ʻoku tokanga lahi ange ki he anga māʻoniʻoní kae ʻikai ko e siokitá. ʻOku maʻu ʻe he kau moʻungaʻi fefine moʻoni ko ʻení e loto-fakatōkilalo moʻoní, ʻa ia ʻoku fakamahuʻingaʻi lahi ange ai e angatonú ʻi he anga fakamamatá. …
“… Ko e … kakai fefine faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ʻo e Siasí [te nau] hoko ko ha mālohi makehe ʻi he tokolahi mo e tupulaki fakalaumālie fakatouʻosi ʻo e Siasí ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí.”3
Ko ha lea fakaepalōfita fungani moʻoni ia. Ke fakamatalaʻi fakanounou pē:
-
ʻE fakatupu ʻe he vā fetuʻutaki lelei ʻo e kakai fefiné, ʻa e kau tokolahi mai ki he Siasí ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ka hoko maí.
-
ʻE hoko e feohi fakakaungāmeʻa ʻa e kakai fefine ʻi he Fineʻofá, finemuí, mo e fānau fefine ʻi he Palaimelí, mo e kakai fefine loto fakamātoato, faivelenga, mo faka-ʻOtua ʻo e ngaahi tui fakalotu kehé, ko ha mālohi makehe ʻi he founga ʻoku tupulaki ai e Siasí ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí.
-
Naʻe ui ʻe Palesiteni Kimipolo e kau fefine ko ʻeni mei he ngaahi puipuituʻa kehé ko e kau “moʻungaʻi fefine” te nau tokanga lahi ange ki he angamāʻoniʻoní ʻi he siokitá, ʻa ia te nau fakahaaʻi mai ʻoku mahuʻinga ange e angatonú ʻi he fai fakamamatá.
Kuó u fetaulaki mo ha tokolahi ʻo e kakai fefine leleí ni ʻi heʻeku ngāue he funga ʻo e māmaní. ʻOku mahuʻinga kiate au honau vā fakakaungāmeʻá. ʻOku mou ʻiloʻi foki kinautolu ʻi homou ngaahi kaungāmeʻá mo e kaungāʻapí. Mahalo ʻoku nau hoko pe teʻeki hoko ko e kau mēmipa ʻo e Siasí he taimí ni, ka ʻoku tau fehokotakiʻ i ha feohi fakakaungāmeʻa ʻoku matuʻaki mahuʻinga. Sai, ʻoku tau fakahoko fēfē hotau tafaʻakí? Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke tau faí? ʻOku fakamatala ʻa Palesiteni Kimipolo ki ha ngaahi meʻa ʻe nima:
Ko e ʻuluakí ke anga māʻoniʻoni. ʻOku ʻikai ʻuhinga e anga māʻoniʻoní ia ke haohaoa pe ʻikai teitei fai ha fehalaaki. ʻOku ʻuhinga ia ki hono fakatupulaki ha fehokotaki mālohi mo e ʻOtuá, fakatomala mei heʻetau ngaahi angahalá mo e fehalākí, pea tokoni tauʻatāina ki he niʻihi kehé.
ʻOku liliu ʻa e kahaʻú ʻe he kakai fefine kuo nau fakatomalá. ʻOku ʻi ai hoku kaungāmeʻa naʻe ʻi ha fakatuʻutāmaki ʻi heʻene kei siʻí, pea talu mei ai, mo e maʻunimā ia ʻe he foʻiʻakau fakanonga ki he langá. Naʻe vete-mali ʻene ongomātuʻá kimui ange ai. Naʻá ne feitama mei ha feohi taimi nounou, pea naʻe hokohoko atu hono maʻunimā iá. Ka ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻá ne vakai ai ki he moveuveu ʻene moʻuí peá ne fakakaukau ai, “Kuo feʻunga.” Naʻá ne tautapa ki he Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí ke tokoniʻi ia. Naʻá ne pehē naʻá ne ʻilo ai naʻe mālohi ange ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi hono ngaahi tūkungá, pea ʻoku lava ke ne falala ki Hono mālohí ʻi heʻene fononga ʻi he hala ki he fakatomalá.
ʻI heʻene foki ki he ʻEikí mo Hono ngaahi halá, naʻá ne liliu ai hono kuohilí, pehē ki he kahaʻu ʻo hono kiʻi fohá pea mo hono husepāniti foʻoú. ʻOkú ne anga māʻoniʻoni; ʻokú ne maʻu ha loto ʻofa lahi ki he niʻihi kehe kuo nau fai ha fehalaaki pea loto ke liliú. Pea hangē pē ko kitautolú, ʻoku ʻikai ke ne haohaoa, ka ʻokú ne ʻiloʻi e founga ke fakatomala aí pea feinga taʻetūkuá.
Ko e uá ke fakamahinoʻi. ʻOku ʻuhinga e fakamahinoʻí ke fakahaaʻi mahino e anga hoʻo ongoʻi kau ki ha meʻa mo hono ʻuhinga. ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo e taʻu ní, naʻe ʻi ai ha post ʻi heʻeku Facebook, naʻe laukoviʻi ai e tui faka-Kalisitiané. Naʻá ku lau ia pea ne u kiʻi ʻita ka naʻá ku tukunoaʻi ia. Ka naʻe tali hake ʻe ha kaungāmeʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke tau tui fakalotu tatau, ʻi haʻane tali pē ʻaʻana. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē: “Ko e fehangahangai tonu [ʻeni] ʻo e meʻa naʻe taukaveʻi ʻe Sīsuú—naʻá ne … mohu founga [ʻi] hono kuongá he naʻá ne … fakafenāpasi ʻa e māmaní. … Naʻá ne [folofola ki he] kau faiangahalá, [naʻá ne maʻu meʻatokoni] mo e [kau] tānaki tukuhaú … , fakakaungāmeʻa ki he kakai fefine vaivaí mo e fānaú … , [mo] ʻomi e talanoa ʻo e Samēlia Leleí. … Ko hono aofangatukú … ʻe fāifeinga e kau Kalisitiane moʻoní ke hoko ko e kakai angaʻofa TAHA ʻi he māmaní.” ʻI heʻeku lau iá, naʻá ku fakakaukau ai, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te u tohi ai iá?”
ʻOku fie maʻu ke tau takitaha fakamahinoʻi lelei ange e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻo ʻetau tuí. Ko e hā hoʻo ongoʻi kau kia Sīsū Kalaisí? Ko e hā ʻokú ke nofo ai ʻi he Siasí? Ko e hā ʻokú ke tui ai ko ha folofola e Tohi ʻa Molomoná? ʻOkú ke maʻu mei fē hoʻo melinó? Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ke ʻi ai ha lea ʻa e palōfitá ʻi he 2017? ʻOkú ke ʻilo fēfē ko ha palōfita moʻoni ia? Ngāue ʻaki ho leʻó mo ho mālohí ke fakamahinoʻi e meʻa ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi mo ongoʻí—ʻi he mītia fakasōsialé, ʻi he ngaahi fepōtalanoaʻaki angamalū mo ho kaungāmeʻá, pea mo hoʻomou ngaahi makapuná. Fakahā ange kiate kinautolu e ʻuhinga ʻokú ke tui aí, faʻahinga ongo ʻoku maʻu aí, kapau ne ke veiveiua, founga ne ke ikunaʻi iá, pea mo e ʻuhinga kiate koe ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. Hangē ko ia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he ʻAposetolo ko Pitá, “ʻOua ʻe manavahē … ; kae fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ʻEikí ko e ʻOtuá ʻi homou lotó: pea mou nofo [teuteu] pē talia ʻa e tangata kotoa pē ʻe ʻekea ʻa kimoutolu ki hono ʻuhinga ʻo e ʻamanaki lelei ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolú.”4
Ko e tolú ke hoko ʻo makehe. Tuku ke u fai atu ha talanoa naʻe hoko ʻi Siulai ʻo e taʻu ní ʻi he Matātahi Panamā Sití ʻi Folōlitá.5 ʻI he hoʻatā efiafí, naʻe sio atu ai ʻa Lōpeta ʻĒsei ki hono ongo foha kei siʻí ʻokú na ui tokoni mei ha ʻiate ʻe 100 (mita ʻe 90) mei he moaná. Naʻe maʻu kinaua ʻi ha ʻau mālohi pea tafia ai ki he moaná. Naʻe feinga ha ongomātuʻa ne ofi atu ki ai ke fakahaofi e ongo tamaikí, ka ne toe maʻu foki kinaua ʻi he ʻaú. Ne puna fakavave atu e kau mēmipa ʻo e fāmili ʻĒseí ke fakahaofi e kau kaukautahi faingataʻaʻiá, pea naʻe maʻu vave e kakai ʻe toko hivá ʻi he ʻaú.
Ne ʻikai ha maea. Naʻe ʻikai ha taha fakahaofi moʻui. Naʻe fetuʻutaki e kau polisí ki ha vaka fakahaofi moʻui, ka kuo fāinga e kakai ʻi tahí ʻi ha miniti ʻe 20 pea naʻa nau helaʻia mo kamata ke puli hifo honau ʻulú ʻi he vaí. Naʻe kau ʻa Sēsika Mei Simione ʻi he kau mamata ʻi he matātahí. Naʻe fakakaukau hono husepānití ke faʻu ʻe he kakaí ha sēini. Naʻá na kaila ki he kakai ʻi he matātahí ke nau tokoni ange, pea ne kamata pikinima leva e kakaí pea nau lue ki loto tahi. Naʻe tohi ʻe Sēsika ʻo pehē: “[Naʻe] matuʻaki fakaofo ke vakai ki he omi ʻa e kakai mei he matakali mo e tūkunga kehekehe ke tokoniʻi ha niʻihi ne ʻikai MOʻONI ke nau maheni!!”6 Naʻe aʻu ha sēini ko ha kakai ʻe toko 80 ki he niʻihi faingataʻaʻiá ni. Mou vakai ange ki he tā ko ʻeni ʻo e momeniti fakaofo ko iá.
Naʻe fakakaukau pē e tokotaha kotoa ʻi he matātahí ki ha founga tokoni angamaheni pea nau ngata ai. Ka naʻe fakakaukau ha ongomātuʻa ki ha founga kehe ʻi ha lau sekoni pē. Ko e mohu fakakaukaú mo e mohu foungá, ko ha ongo meʻafoaki fakalaumālie ia. ʻI heʻetau tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá, ʻoku tau kehe ai mei he niʻihi kehe ʻi hotau anga fakafonuá mo e sosaietí, ka ʻoku tau maʻu ai e ueʻi fakalaumālié koeʻuhí ke tau lava ʻo fakakaukau ki ha founga tokoni, founga fakahoko, mo ha founga fakaʻaongaʻi makehe. He ʻikai ke tau fenāpasi maʻu pē mo e māmaní, ka ʻi heʻetau makehe ʻi ha ngaahi founga leleí, ʻoku tau lava ai ʻo tokoni ki he niʻihi kehe ʻoku faingataʻaʻiá.
Ko e faá ke makehe ʻaupito. ʻOku ʻuhinga e makehe ʻaupitó ke mahino lelei e tuʻunga ʻoku tau ʻi aí. Te u toe foki ki he talanoa kau kia Sēsika Mei Simione ʻi he matātahí. ʻI he taimi pē naʻe aʻu ai e sēini ko iá ki he kau faingataʻaʻia ʻi loto tahí, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi te ne lava ʻo tokoni. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sēsika Mei, “ʻOku ou lava ʻo mānava loloa pea kakau faingofua holo ʻi ha vai kakau he ʻOlimipikí! [Naʻá ku ʻilo e founga ke hao ai mei ha ʻau mālohi.] Naʻá ku ʻilo te u lava ʻo ʻomi e [tokotaha kakau takitaha] ki he sēiní.”7 Naʻá ne toʻo mo hono husepānití ha ngaahi papa kaukautahi, pea kakau hifo ʻi he sēiní kae ʻoua kuó na aʻu mo ha tokotaha fakahaofi moʻui ʻe taha ki he kau kaukautahí, pea fetuku tahataha hifo leva kinautolu ki he sēiní, ʻa ia ne nau tokoniʻi leva ke nau foki malu ki he matātahí. Naʻe maʻu ʻe Sēsika ha taukei makehe: naʻá ne ʻiloʻi e founga ke kakau ai ʻi ha ʻau mālohí.
ʻOku mahino lelei e tuʻunga ʻoku ʻi ai e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí. Ka kuo pau ke makehe ʻaupito e founga ʻoku tau muimui ai ki aí. Hangē ko e ako kakau ʻa Sēsiká, ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau akoako ki hono moʻui ʻaki e ongoongoleleí kimuʻa ʻi he fakatamakí, koeʻuhí, ke tau taʻemanavahē mo mālohi feʻunga ke tokoni ʻi he taimi ʻoku tafia ai e niʻihi kehé ʻi he ʻaú.
Pea fakaʻosí, ko e fika nimá ke fakahoko fiefia e fika ʻuluaki ki he fā. ʻOku ʻikai ʻuhinga e moʻui fiefiá ke malimali fakangalingali neongo pe ko e hā e meʻa ʻoku hokó. Ka ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ki hono tauhi e ngaahi fono ʻa e ʻOtuá mo hono langaki mo hiki hake e niʻihi kehé.8 ʻI he taimi ʻoku tau langaki hake mo hiki hake ai e mafasia ʻa e niʻihi kehé, ʻokú ne tāpuekina ʻetau moʻuí ʻi ha ngaahi founga he ʻikai mole ʻi heʻetau ngaahi ʻahiʻahí. ʻOku ou fokotuʻu ha lea ʻa Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ke u lava ʻo vakai ki ai he ʻaho kotoa pē. Naʻá ne pehē: “He ʻikai te ke … lavaʻi ha meʻa ʻaki e fakatuʻatamakí pe fakaangá. Mou vakai atu ʻi he fakatuʻamelie, ngāue ʻi he tui, pea ʻe hoko e ngaahi meʻa lahi.”9
Ko ha sīpinga ʻo e laumālie fakatuʻamelie fiefia ko iá, ko ha kiʻi taʻahine taʻu 13 ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ko ʻĒlisa ʻa ia naʻe hiki hono fāmilí ki Peitoni Lasi, Luīsiana, naʻe maile ʻe 1,800 (km ʻe 2,900) mei hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. ʻOku ʻikai faingofua e hiki ki ha feituʻu foʻou ʻi heʻete taʻu 13. Ne hā mahino e taʻepauʻia ʻa ʻĒlisa fekauʻaki mo e fehikitakí, ko ia naʻe tuku ange ai ʻe heʻene tamaí ha tāpuaki. ʻI he momeniti pē ko ia ʻo e tāpuakí, naʻe tatangi hake ai ha text ʻi he telefoni ʻene fineʻeikí. Naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau finemui ʻi Luīsianá e tā ko ʻení mo e tohi “Kātaki ʻo hiki mai ki homau uōtí!”10
Naʻe fakatuʻamelie e kau finemuí ni te nau saiʻia ʻia ʻĒlisa neongo ʻoku teʻeki ke nau fetaulaki. Naʻe fakatupu ʻe heʻenau loto-vēkeveké ha fakatuʻamelie ʻia ʻĒlisa ki he fehikitaki ʻoku ʻamanaki fakahokó, mo tali ʻene lotu ko ia pe ʻe lelei e meʻa kotoa peé.
