ʻOku tau fakaʻamu lahi ke moʻui taau ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ke maʻu ha lekomeni temipale. Mou kātaki ʻo ʻoua te mou pehē ko e temipalé ko ha taumuʻa ia ʻoku tāumamaʻo pe taʻemalava. ʻE lava ke aʻusia ʻe he tokolahi taha ʻo e kāingalotú e ngaahi fie maʻu māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē ʻi ha kiʻi taimi nounou kapau ʻoku nau lotoʻaki ke taau mo fakatomala kakato mei he maumau fonó pea ngāue mo ʻenau pīsopé. ʻOku kau heni ʻa e loto fiemālie ke fakamolemoleʻi kitautolú kae ʻoua ʻe nofotaha ʻetau tokangá ʻi heʻetau ngaahi tōnounoú pe angahalá ke taʻofi ai haʻatau malava ke hū ki he temipale toputapú.

Naʻe fakahoko e Fakalelei ʻa e Fakamoʻuí maʻá e fānau kotoa ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻOku feau ʻe Heʻene feilaulau huhuʻí e ngaahi fie maʻu ʻa e fakamaau totonú maʻanautolu kotoa ʻoku fakatomala moʻoní. ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻeni ʻe he folofolá ʻi ha founga mātuʻaki fakaʻofoʻofa:

“Neongo ʻa e tatau ʻo hoʻomou angahalá mo e kula ʻahoʻahó, ʻe hoko ia ke hinehina ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hina ekiakí” (ʻIsaia 1:18).

“Pea ʻe ʻikai te u toe manatu ki [ai]” (Selemaia 31:34).

ʻOku mau fakapapauʻi atu ʻe hanga ʻe hono moʻuiʻaki e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni māʻoniʻoní ʻo ʻoatu ʻa e fiefiá, lavameʻá, mo e nongá kiate koe mo ho fāmilí. ʻOku fakapapauʻi ʻe he kāingalotú, ʻo tatau pē kakai lalahí mo e toʻu tupú, ʻa honau tuʻunga tāú ʻi heʻenau tali e ngaahi fehuʻi ki he lekomeni temipalé. Ko e fie maʻu mahuʻingá ke fakatupulaki hoʻo fakamoʻoni ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamaí; Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí; mo e Fakafoki mai ʻo ʻEne ongoongoleleí pea aʻusia e tokoni ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

Kātaki ʻo fakatokangaʻi hono vivili ʻemau fakaʻamu ke fai ʻe he tokotaha kotoa e ngaahi liliu ʻoku fie maʻu ka ne taau ai mo e temipalé. Toe vakaiʻi he faʻa lotu ho tuʻunga ʻi hoʻo moʻuí, kumia e fakahinohino ʻa e Laumālié, pea talanoa mo hoʻo pīsopé fekauʻaki mo hono teuteuʻi koe ki he temipalé. Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Tōmasi S. Monisoni (1927–2018), “ʻOku ʻikai ha toe taumuʻa ʻe mahuʻinga ange ke ke ngāue ki ai ka ko e moʻui taau ke hū ki he temipalé.”¹

ʻOku ou fakatauange ke tau takitaha fakaʻapaʻapa ki he Fakamoʻuí mo fai ha liliu pē ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau sio ai kiate kitautolu ʻi Hono ngaahi temipale toputapú. ʻI heʻetau fai iá, te tau lava leva ʻo fakahoko ʻEne ngaahi taumuʻa māʻoniʻoní mo teuteuʻi kitautolu mo hotau fāmilí ki he ngaahi tāpuaki kotoa ʻe lava ke Ne foaki mai mo Hono Siasí ʻi he moʻuí ni pea mo ʻitāniti foki.
