Ne fai mai ʻe Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni ha pōpoaki ʻi ʻEpeleli ne ngaue ai e loto ʻo e kakai he māmaní, kau ai au. Naʻá ne lea ki he mālohi ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.

Pea hangē ko e tokolahi ʻo kimoutolu, ne u fanongo ki he lea ʻa e palōfitá ʻo hangē ko e leʻo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá kiate au. Pea hangē pē ko kimoutolú, ne u loto ke u talangofua ki he ngaahi lea ko iá.

ʻI he fakamoʻoni ko iá, ne u lau ai e Tohi ʻa Molomoná he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 50 tupu. Koeʻuhí kuó u lau ia, ne u fakakaukau mahalo naʻa ko e lea ʻa Palesiteni Monisoní ia ki ha taha kehe.

Ko e ola fakafiefia kiate au mo e tokolahi ʻo kimoutolú, ʻa e meʻa ko ia ne talaʻofa mai ʻe he palōfitá. Ko kitautolu ne tau tali lelei ʻene faleʻi fakalaumālié, kuo tau ongoʻi lelei ange e Laumālié.

ʻI ha kuonga ʻoku moveuveu ai e māmaní, kuo kapusi ʻe he fakamoʻoni mālohi ko iá e veiveiuá mo e manavaheé kae ʻomi kiate kitautolu ha ongoʻi nonga. Ne hoko ha meʻa ʻe ua kiate au ʻi he talangofua ki he faleʻi ʻa Palesiteni Monisoní: ʻUluakí, kuo hanga ʻe he Laumālie naʻá ne talaʻofa maí ʻo ʻomi kiate au ha ongoʻi fakatuʻamelie ki he kahaʻú, neongo e fakaututu e moveuveu ʻa e māmaní.

Kuo hoko e holi ko iá ko e uho e ngāue mo e akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Monisoní.
Naʻe talaʻofa ʻaki ʻe he ʻEikí ha ʻofa lahi ange ki he niʻihi kehé mo Ne fakalotolahiʻi e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá mo ʻŌliva Kautele he taimi ne ngali ke taulōfuʻu ai e ngaahi ngāue ne ʻamanaki ke na fakahokó. Ne pehē ʻe he ʻEikí ʻe maʻu e lototoʻa ʻoku fie maʻú mei heʻena tui kiate Ia ko hona maká:
“ʻOua ʻe manavahē ke failelei, ʻe hoku ongo foha, he ko e meʻa ko ia ʻokú mo tūtuuʻí, ko e meʻa pē ia te mo utú; ko ia, kapau te mo tūtuuʻi ʻa e lelei te mo utu foki ʻa e lelei ko hoʻomo totongi.
“Ko ia, ʻoua ʻe manavahē, ʻe tākanga tokosiʻi; failelei; tuku ke kau fakataha ʻa māmani mo heli ke tauʻi ʻa kimoua, he kapau kuo langa ʻa kimoua ki heʻeku maká, ʻe ʻikai te nau lava ʻo ikuna.
“Vakai, ʻoku ʻikai te u fakahalaiaʻi ʻa kimoua; mo ʻalu ʻi homo halá pea ʻoua ʻe toe faiangahala; fai ʻi he anga fakamātoato ʻa e ngāue kuó u fekau kiate kimouá.
“Sio pē kiate au ʻi he fakakaukau kotoa pē; ʻoua ʻe tālaʻa, ʻoua ʻe manavahē.
“Vakai ki he ngaahi lavea ʻa ia naʻe hokaʻi ai ʻa hoku vakavaká, kae ʻumaʻā foki ʻa e ngaahi mataʻi faʻo ʻi hoku ongo nimá mo e vaʻé; tui faivelenga, tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekaú, pea te mo maʻu ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo e langí” (T&F 6:33–37).
Naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻEikí ki Hono kau taki ne fili ʻi Hono Toe Fakafoki Mai e Ongoongoleleí, peá Ne tala kiate kitautolu, ʻi heʻetau tuʻu ʻi he tui ʻi Hono maká, ʻe mole atu e veiveiuá mo e tailiilí; pea tupulaki leva ʻa e holi ke fai leleí. ʻI heʻetau tali e fakaafe ʻa Palesiteni Monisoni ke fakatōkakano ʻi hotau lotó ha fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisí, te tau maʻu ai e mālohi, mo e holi mo e lototoʻa ke ō atu ʻo fakahaofi e niʻihi kehé, pea ʻoua ʻe toe hohaʻa ki heʻetau ngaahi fie maʻú.
Kuo tā tuʻo lahi ʻeku mamata ki he tui mo e lototoʻa ko iá he taimi ʻoku fehangahangai ai e Kāingalotu loto tuí mo ha ngaahi faingataʻa fakalilifú.Hangē ko ʻení, ne u ʻi ʻAitahō he taimi ne pā ai e Tokaʻanga Vai Tētoní ʻi he ʻaho 5 ʻo Sune 1976. Ne fuʻu lahi e vai ne tafe mai mei he tokaʻanga vaí. Ne lauiafe e kakai ne nau hola mei honau ngaahi ʻapí. Ne maumau ha ngaahi ʻapi mo ha pisinisi ʻe lauiafe. Naʻe fakaofo e ʻikai aʻu e tokolahi ʻo e kau maté ki he toko 15.
Ko e meʻa ne u sio ʻi aí, kuó u sio ai ʻi ha taimi pē ʻoku tuʻu fakamakatuʻu ai e Kāingalotú ʻi he fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOku ʻikai ke nau manavahē he taimi ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi taʻetoe veiveiua ai ʻokú Ne tokangaʻi kinautolú. ʻOku nau tukunoaʻi honau faingataʻá ka nau ō atu ke tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé. ʻOku nau fai ia ʻi he ʻofa ki he ʻEikí, pea ʻikai ke toe ʻeke ha totongi.
Hangē ko ʻení, ʻi he taimi ne pā ai e Tokaʻanga Vai Tētoní, ne laulaumaile ha ongomātuʻa siasi mei hona ʻapí. Ka ʻi heʻena fanongo pē he letioó ki he ongoongó, ne na foki fakavave leva ki Lekisipeeki. Ne ʻikai ke na hangatonu ki hona ʻapí ke sio pe naʻe maumau, ka naʻa na ʻalu ʻo kumi ki heʻena pīsopé.

Ne lue atu e ongo mātuʻá ʻo talaange ki he pīsopé, “Ko ʻema toki fokí mai ʻeni. Pīsope, ko fē ha feituʻu te ma tokoni ai?” Naʻá ne ʻoange ha hingoa ʻo ha fāmili. Ne ō ʻa e ongomātuʻá ʻo tā pelepela mo tā vai mei he ʻapi ki he ʻapi. Naʻá na ngāue mei he hengihengí ki he poʻulí ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho lahi. Ne faifai peá na kiʻi mālōlō ke na ō ʻo sio ki hona ʻapí. Kuo ʻauha kotoa ia he tāfeá, pea ʻikai ha meʻa ia ke toe fakamaau. Naʻá na toe tafoki fakavave ʻo foki ki heʻena pīsopé. Naʻá na ʻeke ange, “Pīsope, ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha te ma tokoni ki ai?”
Ko e mana ko ia ʻo e lototoʻa mo e manavaʻofa fakalongolongó—ʻa e ʻofa haohaoa ʻa Kalaisí—kuo toutou hāsino ia he ngaahi taʻu lahi ʻi he māmaní. Ne hoko ia he ngaahi ʻaho fakamamahi ʻo e fakatangá mo e faingataʻá he taimi ʻo e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi Mīsulí. Ne hoko ia he taimi ne tataki ai ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi e hikifononga mei Nāvuú pea ui e Kāingalotú ke mavahe mei he ngaahi feituʻu fakahihifo ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, ke fetokoniʻaki ʻi hono langa ʻo Saione maʻá e ʻEikí.
Kapau te ke lau e tohinoa ʻa e kau paionia ko iá, te ke sio ki he mana ʻo e tuí ʻokú ne toʻo atu e veiveiuá mo e manavaheé. ʻI hoʻomou lautohi kau ki hono liʻaki ʻe he Kāingalotú e meʻa ne nau saiʻia aí ke tokoniʻi ha taha kehe koeʻuhi ko e ʻEikí, kimuʻa pea nau foki ki heʻenau fanga sipí pe konga kelekele ne teʻeki ke palaú.
Ne u sio ʻi ha mana tatau he ngaahi ʻaho siʻi kuohilí hili e haʻahaʻa ʻo e Afā ko ʻEmá ʻi Pueto Liko, Sangato Tōmasi, mo Fololita, naʻe ngāue fakataha ai ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí mo e ngaahi siasi kehe, ngaahi kulupu ʻi he tukui koló, mo e ngaahi kautaha fakafonuá ke kamata hono fakamaʻa ʻo e fonuá.
Hangē ko hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻi Lekisipēkí, ne lahi ange e tokanga ha ongomātuʻa taʻesiasi ʻi Folōlita ke tokoniʻi e koló, ʻi heʻena ngāue ʻi hona ʻapí. Naʻe lōmekina kinaua ʻi hono tokoniʻi ʻe he kāingalotu ʻi he ngaahi kaungāʻapí ke toʻo e ongo fuʻu ʻakau naʻe tō ʻi heʻena tauʻanga meʻalelé, ne vahevahe ʻe he ongomātuʻá ne na ongoʻi lōmekina ko ia ne na tafoki ai ʻo tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé, mo e tui ʻe tokoniʻi ʻe he ʻEikí e meʻa te na fie maʻu ʻi hona ʻapí. Naʻe pehē ʻe he husepānití, ne na lotua kimuʻa pea aʻu ange ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ke tokoní. Kuó na maʻu ha tali ʻe aʻutaki mai e tokoni. Ne aʻutaki mai ia ʻi ha ngaahi houa siʻi mei heʻena ongoʻi fakapapauʻi ko iá.
Kuó u fanongo ʻi ha ongoongo ʻo pehē kuo kamata ke nau ui ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻoku tui e falani lanu engeenga ʻo e Nima Fietokoní, ko e “Kau ʻĀngelo Engeengá.” Ne ʻave ʻe ha mēmipa ʻene kaá ke fai ʻa hono vakaiʻi, pea vahevahe ange ʻe he tokotaha naʻá ne tokoniʻi iá, ʻa e “aʻusia fakalaumālie” naʻá ne maʻu mo e niʻihi ne nau tui ʻa e falani engeengá ʻi heʻenau tutuʻu mo ʻave ʻa e ʻuluʻakau mei hono ʻapí pea naʻá ne pehē naʻa nau “hivaʻi mai ha ngaahi hiva fekauʻaki mo e fānau au ʻa e ʻOtuá.”
Naʻe pehē ʻe ha tokotaha mei Folōlita—ʻoku ʻikai kau ki he Siasí—ne aʻu ange e kāingalotú ki hono ʻapí lolotonga ʻene ongoʻi lōmekina, lotomamahi, mo fakateloʻimata ʻi heʻene fakamaau hono ʻapí. Naʻá ne pehē naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kau ngāueʻofá ha “mana fakaʻofoʻofa.” Ne ʻikai ngata pē ʻi heʻenau ngāue faivelengá ka ne nau kakata foki mo malimali, pea ʻikai tali ha totongi.
Ne u mamata ki he faivelengá mo fanongoa e kata fiefia ko iá, ʻi ha efiafi Tokonaki ne u ʻaʻahi ai mo ha Kāingalotu ʻi Folōlita. Ne kiʻi tuku e ngāue fakamaʻa ʻa e kau ngāueʻofá ka mau lulululu. Ne nau pehē ne palani ha palani ʻe toko 90 ʻi honau siteikí ʻi Siōsiá, ke kau he ngāue fakahaofi ʻi Fololitá, he pō kimuʻá.
Ne nau mavahe mei Siōsia he 4:00 pongipongi ʻo fakaʻuli mai ʻi ha ngaahi houa lahi, ʻo ngāue he ʻaho kakató mo e poʻulí, pea palani ke hoko atu e ngāué he ʻaho hono hokó.
Ne nau fakamatalaʻi fiefia ia kiate au mo nau tūkuhua pē. Ko e meʻa ne u ongoʻi ne nau fie maʻú, ke taʻofi hono fakamālōʻiaʻi kinautolú ka nau foki ke hoko atu ʻenau ngāué. Ne toe kamata fakamoʻui ʻe he palesiteni fakasiteikí ʻene mīsini tutuʻu ʻakaú ke tutuʻu ha fuʻu ʻakau ne holo pea fetukutuku ʻe ha pīsope e sinoʻi ʻakaú he taimi ne mau heka ai ki heʻemau meʻalelé ke ʻalu ki he timi fakahaofi hono hokó.
ʻI heʻemau mavahe mai mei ha feituʻu ʻe taha he pongipongi ko iá, ne lue mai ha tangata ki he kaá ʻo toʻo hono tataá, mo fakamālō mai maʻá e kau ngāueʻofá. Naʻá ne talamai, “ʻOku ʻikai ko ha mēmipa au ʻi homou siasí. ʻOku ou ʻohovale he meʻa kuo mou fai maʻamautolú. ʻOfa ke tāpuakiʻi kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtuá.” Ne malimali e tokotaha ngāueʻofa Siasi ne ofi atu kiate ia ʻi hono sote lanu engeengá mo hikiʻi hake hono umá, hangē ne ʻikai loto ke fakamālōʻiaʻi e ngāué.
Lolotonga e haʻu ʻa e kau ngāueʻofa mei Siōsiá ke tokoniʻi e tangatá ni, ne fononga ha Kāingalotu ʻe laungeau mei he feituʻu ʻo Folōlita ne maumaú, ki ha feituʻu ʻe taha ʻi he fakatonga ʻo Folōlitá ko ʻenau fanongo ne lahi ange ai e maumaú.
Ne u manatuʻi pea mahino lelei ange kiate au he ʻaho ko iá e lea fakakikite ʻa e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá: “Ko e tangata kuo fakafonu ʻaki e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku ʻikai fiemālie ia hono tāpuakiʻi pē hono fāmilí, ka ʻoku feʻaluaki he funga ʻo e māmaní, ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá” (Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí: Siosefa Sāmita [2007], 493).
ʻOku tau sio he faʻahinga ʻofa ko iá he moʻui ʻa e Kāingalotú he feituʻu kotoa pē. Ko e taimi kotoa pē ʻoku hoko ai ha meʻa fakamamahi ʻi ha feituʻu ʻi māmani, ʻoku foaki mo fietokoni e Kāingalotú ki he ngāue tokoni fakaetangata ʻa e Siasí. ʻOku tātātaha ke toe fai ha kole ia ke nau tokoni. Ne ʻi ai e ngaahi taimi ne mau kole ki he kau ngāueʻofá ke kiʻi tatali e fononga ki he feituʻu fakaakeaké, kae ʻoleva ke maau e niʻihi ʻoku nau tataki e ngāué, ke tali kinautolu.
Ko e holi ko ia ke tāpuekiná ko e fua ia ʻo ha kakai ʻoku nau maʻu ha fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne ongoongoleleí, Hono Siasi ne toe fakafoki maí, pea mo ʻEne palōfitá. Ko hono ʻuhinga ia ʻoku ʻikai ke fakaveiveiua mo manavahē ai e kakai ʻa e ʻEikí. Ko hono ʻuhinga ia ʻoku loto fiemālie ai e kau faifekaú ke nau tokoni ʻi ha feituʻu pē ʻo e māmaní.

Ko hono ʻuhinga ia ʻoku fakatukupaaʻi ai ʻe he kau takí honau toʻu tupú ke nau tali e kole ʻa Palesiteni Monisoni ke ako fakamatoato ai e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. ʻOku ʻikai ke maʻu e fuá ʻi he kole ʻa e kau takí, ka ʻi he ngāue ʻaki ʻe he toʻu tupú mo e kāingalotú ʻenau tuí.

Kuo fakatupulaki ʻe he Kāingalotu faivelengá ʻenau tui ki he ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko ha folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, mo hono toe fakafoki mai ʻo e ngaahi kī ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻi Hono Siasi moʻoní. ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he fakamoʻoni ko ia kuo tupulakí, ha lototoʻa mo ha tokanga lahi ange ki he fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Naʻe foaki mai ʻe he ʻEikí e founga ki he fakatuʻamelié, ʻi heʻetau laka atu kimuʻá: “Sio pē kiate au ʻi he fakakaukau kotoa pē; ʻoua ʻe tālaʻa, ʻoua ʻe manavahē” (T&F 6:36).
