Taha Honau Lotó ʻi he Māʻoniʻoni mo e Uouangataha

ʻI he vahaʻataimi mahuʻinga ko ʻeni ʻo e taʻu ʻe 200 ʻi he hisitōlia ʻo hotau Siasí, tau fakatukupaaʻi muʻa kitautolu ke tau moʻui angamāʻoniʻoni pea uouangataha lahi ange ʻi ha toe taimi kimuʻa.

ʻOku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻa e angamāʻoniʻoní mo e uouangatahá. 1 ʻI he taimi ʻoku ʻofa ai ʻa e kakaí ki he ʻOtuá ʻaki honau lotó kotoa pea feinga ʻi he angatonu ke hangē ko Iá, ʻe siʻisiʻi leva ʻa e fetāʻakí mo e fakakikihi ʻi he sōsaietí. ʻOku lahi ange leva ʻa e uouangatahá. ʻOku ou saiʻia he talanoa moʻoni ʻoku hā ai ʻa e meʻá ni.

Naʻe tokoni mo maluʻi ʻe Seniale Tōmasi L. Keini, ko ha talavou ne ʻikai kau ki hotau siasí, ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi hono fiemaʻu ke nau hola ko ia ki Nāvuú. Naʻá ne hoko ko ha taukapo maʻá e Siasí ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi. 2

ʻI he 1872, ne fononga ai ʻa Seniale Keini, mo hono uaifi mohu talēniti ko ʻElisapeti Uti Keiní, mo hona ongo fohá mei honau ʻapi ʻi Penisilivēniá ki Sōleki Siti. Naʻa nau ʻalu fakataha mo Pilikihami ʻIongi mo hono kaungā fonongá ʻi ha hala ʻi he fakatongá ki Seni Siaosi, ʻIutā. Naʻe momou ʻa ʻElisapeti ʻo kau ki he houʻeiki fafiné ʻi he ʻamanaki ko ia ki heʻene fuofua ʻaʻahi ki ʻIutaá. Ka naʻá ne ʻohovale ʻi he ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne ako mei aí. Hangē ko ʻení, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻatā ha faʻahinga ngāue pē ʻi ʻIutā ki ha fefine ʻe lava ke maʻu ai haʻane moʻui. 3 Naʻá ne toe ʻilo foki ne angalelei mo loto-mahino ʻa e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí fekauʻaki mo e Kakai Totonu ʻo ʻAmeliká. 4

Lolotonga ʻa e fonongá naʻa nau nofo ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Tōmasi R. mo Matelita Lopisoni Kingí 5 ʻi Filamoa.

Ne tohi ʻe ʻElisapeti ʻo pehē ne lolotonga hono teuteuʻi ʻe Matelita ha meʻatokoni maʻa Palesiteni ʻIongi mo hono kaungā fonongá, ne hū mai ha kau ʻInitia ʻAmelika ʻe toko nima ki he lokí. Neongo naʻe ʻikai ke fakaafeʻi kinautolu, ka naʻe mahino pē naʻa nau fakatetuʻa mai ke kau he maʻu meʻatokoní. Ne lea atu ʻa Sisitā Kingi kiate kinautolu “ʻi heʻenau lea fakafonuá.” Naʻa nau tangutu hifo mo honau sipi kafú mo e fofonga fiefia. Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe ʻElisapeti ki ha taha ʻo e fānau ʻa Kingí, “Ko e hā ʻa e meʻa ne tala ʻe hoʻomou faʻeé ki he kau tangatá?

Naʻe tali ange ʻe he foha ʻo Matelitá ʻo pehē, “Naʻá ne talaange, ‘Naʻe ʻuluaki haʻu ʻa e kau ʻaʻahi ko ʻení, pea naʻe feʻunga pē ʻa e meʻa naʻá ku teuteú maʻanautolu; ka ko hoʻomou meʻatokoní ʻoku lolotonga tuʻu he afí he taimí ni, pea te u toki ui atu ʻi he taimi ʻe maau aí.”

Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe ʻElisapeti, “ʻOkú ke pehē nai te ne fai ia, pe te ne toki ʻoange pē ʻa e toenga meʻakai ʻi peitó?” 6

Naʻe tali ange ʻe he foha ʻo Matelitá, “ʻE fai pē ʻe he fineʻeikí ʻa e meʻa tatau ʻokú ne fai maʻaú ʻo fakaʻatā ʻene tēpilé ke nau maʻu meʻatokoni ai.”

Pea naʻá ne fai ia, pea “naʻa nau kai ʻi he anga fakaʻapaʻapa.” Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe ʻElisapeti naʻe mahiki peseti ʻe 100 ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa e tokotaha talitali kakai lelei moʻoni ko ʻení. 7 ʻOku tupulaki ʻa e uouangatahá ʻi he taimi ʻoku tauhi ai ʻa e kakaí ʻaki ʻa e ngeia mo e fakaʻapaʻapa neongo ʻoku kehekehe honau ʻulungāngá.

ʻI heʻemau hoko ko e kau takí, ʻoku ʻikai ke mau tui naʻe haohaoa ʻa e ngaahi vā fetuʻutaki kotoa pē ʻi he kuohilí, pea faka-Kalaisi ʻa e ʻulungaanga kotoa pē, pe angatonu ʻa e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni kotoa pē. Neongo ia, ka ʻoku akoʻi mai ʻe heʻetau tui fakalotú ko e fānau kotoa kitautolu ʻa ʻetau Tamai ʻi Hēvaní, pea ʻoku tau hū kiate Ia mo Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa ia ko hotau Fakamoʻuí. Ko ʻemau fakaʻamú ke taha pē ʻa hotau lotó mo e ʻatamaí ʻi he angamāʻoniʻoni mo e uouangataha, pea te tau taha leva mo Kinaua. 8

ʻOku lahi ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ki he foʻi lea angamāʻoniʻoní ka ʻoku kau moʻoni ki ai ʻa hono moʻui ʻaki ʻo e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá. 9 ʻOkú ne fakafeʻungaʻi kitautolu ki he ngaahi ouau toputapu ʻoku nau fokotuʻu ʻa e hala ʻo e fuakavá pea tāpuekina kitautolu ke maʻu ʻa e Laumālié ke Ne tataki ʻetau moʻuí. 10

ʻOku ʻikai ke fakafalala ʻa e angamāʻoniʻoní ia ʻi haʻatau maʻu ʻa e tāpuaki kotoa pē ʻi heʻetau moʻui ʻi he taimi ní. Mahalo pē he ʻikai ke tau mali pe tāpuekina ʻaki ha fānau pe maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku fakaʻamua he taimi ní. Ka kuo talaʻofa mai ʻe he ʻEikí ko kinautolu ʻoku angamāʻoniʻoni mo faivelengá te nau “nofo mo e ʻOtuá ʻi he tuʻunga fiefia ʻoku ʻikai hano ngataʻanga.” 11

ʻOku lahi foki mo e ngaahi ʻuhinga ki he foʻi lea Uouangatahá, ka ko e lelei tahá ʻene fakamahinoʻi ʻa e ongo fekau lalahi ke ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá pea ʻofa ki hotau kāingá. 12 ʻOkú ne fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻa e kakai ʻo Saioné ʻoku “taha honau lotó ʻi he uouangataha.” 13

Ko e kakano ʻo ʻeku pōpoakí ko e fehangahangai mo e ngaahi lēsoni mei he folofola toputapú.

Kuo ʻosi ʻeni ha taʻu ʻe 200 mei he fuofua hā mai ʻa e Tamaí mo Hono ʻAló ʻo kamataʻi ʻa hono Fakafoki Mai ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi he 1820. ʻOku kau ʻi he fakamatala ʻi he 4 Nīfai ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ha vahaʻataimi tatau ʻo ha taʻu ʻe 200 hili ʻa e hā ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻo fokotuʻu ʻa Hono Siasí ʻi ʻAmelika motuʻá.

ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he lekooti fakahisitōlia ʻoku tau lau ʻi he 4 Nīfaí ha kakai naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha femehekaʻaki, fetēleni, maveuveu, loi, fakapō, pe ko ha faʻahinga holi kovi ʻe taha. Koeʻuhí ko e angamāʻoniʻoni ko ʻení, naʻe fakamatalaʻi ai ʻe he lekōtí ʻo pehē, “ko e moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai lava ke ʻi ai ha kakai ʻoku lahi hake ʻenau fiefiá ʻi he kakai kotoa pē kuo fakatupu ʻe he toʻukupu ʻo e ʻOtuá.” 14

ʻOku fakamatala ʻa e 4 Nīfaí ki he uouangatahá ʻo pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai ha fekeʻikeʻi ʻi he fonuá, koeʻuhí ko e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa ia naʻe ʻi he loto ʻo e kakaí.” 15

Ka ko e meʻapangó, naʻe toe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he 4 Nīfaí ha fuʻu liliu lahi naʻe kamata ia ʻi he “taʻu hono uangeau mā tahá,” 16 ʻi he hanga ʻe he faiangahalá mo e māvahevahé ʻo fakaʻauha ʻa e angamāʻoniʻoní mo e uouangatahá. Ko e fuʻu angahala lahi ne hokó naʻe fuʻu fakalilifu ia naʻe iku ai ʻo tangilāulau ʻa e palōfita maʻongoʻonga ko Molomoná ki hono foha ko Molonaí:

“Kae ʻoiauē ʻe hoku foha, ʻoku lava fēfē ha kakai hangē ko ʻení, ʻa ia ʻoku nau fiefia ki he fuʻu fakalielia pehē—

“Te ta lava ʻo ʻamanaki fēfē ʻe taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa hono toʻukupú mei hono tauteaʻi kitautolú?” 17

Neongo ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi ha taimi makehe ʻi he kuonga fakakosipeli ko ʻení, ka ʻoku teʻeki ke tāpuekina ‘a e māmaní ia ʻaki ʻa e māʻoniʻoni mo e uouangataha ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he 4 Nīfaí. Ko e moʻoni ʻoku tau moʻui ʻi ha taimi ʻoku fuʻu mālohi ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻā vahevahé. Neongo iá, ka kuo tukupā ʻa e lauimiliona kuo nau tali ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ke fakatou maʻu ʻa e angamāʻoniʻoní mo e uouangatahá. ʻOku mahino kiate kitautolu kotoa te tau lava ʻo failelei ange,pea ko ʻetau tukupā ia ki he ʻaho ní. ʻE lava ke tau hoko ko ha mālohi lahi ke langaki hake mo tāpuekina kotoa ʻa e sōsaietí. ʻI he vahaʻataimi mahuʻinga ko ʻeni ʻo e taʻu ʻe 200 ʻi he hisitōlia ʻo hotau Siasí, tau fakatukupaaʻi muʻa kitautolu ko e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasi ʻo e ʻEikí ke tau moʻui angamāʻoniʻoni pea uouangataha lahi ange ʻi ha toe taimi kimuʻa. Kuo kole mai ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ke tau “fakahaaʻi ha ʻulungaanga lelei lahi ange, fekoekoeʻi fakahaʻa mo fakamatakali mo e fefakaʻapaʻapaʻaki.” 18 ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻeni ki he feʻofaʻaki ki he taha kotoa mo e ʻOtuá pea tali lelei ʻa e taha kotoa ko ha kāinga mo e kakai moʻoni ʻo Saione.

ʻI he kuonga kimuʻa ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ko e taʻu nai ʻe 550 kimuʻa pea ʻaloʻi ʻa Kalaisí, ʻoku akoʻi mai kiate kitautolu ʻa e fekau mahuʻinga fekauʻaki mo e vā fetuʻutaki ʻo e fānau ʻa e Tamai ʻi Hēvaní. ʻOku fie maʻu kotoa ke nau tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻEikí, pea ʻoku fakaafeʻi ʻa kinautolu kotoa pē ke nau maʻu ʻi he angalelei ʻa e ʻEikí; “pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne taʻofi ha tokotaha ʻoku haʻu kiate ia, pe ko ha ʻuliʻuli pe hinehina, pe ko ha pōpula pe tauʻatāina, pe ko ha tangata pe fefine; pea ʻokú ne manatuʻi ʻa e kau hītení; pea ʻoku tatau ʻa e kakai fulipē ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa e Siú mo e Senitailé fakatouʻosi.” 20

Naʻe toutou tala ʻe he ngāue mo e pōpoaki ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ko e matakali mo e lanu kotoa pē ko e fānau kinautolu ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko e kāinga kotoa pē kitautolu. ʻOku tau tui ʻi heʻetau tokāteliné ko e fonua ko ia ne hoko ai hono Fakafoki Mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí ʻa ia ko e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, naʻe tohi ʻa e Konisitūtone ko ia ʻo e U.S. 21 mo e ngaahi fakamatala fakapepa fekauʻaki mo iá, 22 ʻe ha kau tangata naʻe ʻikai ke nau haohaoa, ka naʻe ueʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ke tāpuekina ʻa e kakai kotoa pē. ʻOku tau lau ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá, ko e ngaahi fakamatala fakapepa ko ʻení naʻe “fokotuʻu, pea ʻoku totonu ke tauhi maʻu ia koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi totonu mo e maluʻi ʻo e kakano kotoa pē, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni totonu mo māʻoniʻoní.” 23 Ko e ongo tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻi hení ko e tauʻatāina ke filí mo hono ʻekeʻi mei he tangata kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngaahi angahala ʻaʻaná. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí:

“Ko ia, ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke pōpula ha tangata ki ha tokotaha kehe.

“Pea ko hono ʻuhinga ʻeni kuó u fokotuʻu ai ʻa e Konisitūtone ʻo e fonua ko ʻení, ʻi he nima ʻo e kau tangata poto ʻa ia naʻá ku fokotuʻu hake ki he taumuʻa pē ko ʻení, mo huhuʻi ʻa e fonuá ʻi he lilingi ʻo e toto.” 24

Naʻe maʻu ʻa e fakahā ko ʻení ʻi he 1833 ʻi he taimi naʻe faingataʻaʻia ai ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi Mīsuli ʻi hono fakatangaʻi lahi kinautolú. ʻOku fakamatala ʻe he konga ʻo e talamuʻaki ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá vahe 101 ʻo pehē: “Kuo hanga ʻe he kau fakamoveuveú ʻo tuli kinautolu mei honau ngaahi ʻapí ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní. … Naʻe lahi ʻa e ngaahi fakamanamana ke tāmateʻi ʻa e [kāingalotu] ʻe niʻihi ʻo e Siasí.” 25

Ko ha taimi faingataʻa ʻeni ʻi he ngaahi founga kehekehe.
