Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e Koloa Mahuʻingá

Fakatefito ʻia Sīsū Kalaisi. Ko Ia hotau Fakamoʻuí mo e Huhuʻí, ko e “[meʻa] mahuʻinga” ʻoku totonu ke tau vakai ki aí, mo ʻetau koloa maʻongoʻonga tahá.

ʻI he 1907, naʻe hiki ai ha tangata tuʻumālie Pilitānia ko Siaosi Hēpeti, ko e ʻEiki hono nima ʻo Kanavoní (Carnarvon),1 ki ʻIsipite ʻo manako ai ʻi he ʻakiolosiá. Naʻá ne fakafeʻiloaki ki ha Faihisitōlia ʻiloa ʻi ʻIsipite ko Hauti Kata, ʻo fokotuʻu ange ke na kaungā-ngāue. ʻE tokangaʻi ʻe Kata ʻena ngaahi keli fakatotolo fakaʻakiolosiá, kae fakapaʻanga ʻa Kanavoni.

Naʻá na fakatotoloʻi lelei ha ngaahi feituʻu kehekehe. Peá na toki maʻu ha ngofua ke keli ʻi he Teleʻa ʻo e Ngaahi Tuʻí, ʻoku tuʻu ʻo ofi ki Lakisoa (Luxor) ʻi onopōní, ʻa ia naʻe ʻilo ai ha ngaahi fonualoto lahi ʻo e kau feló. Naʻá na pehē leva ke na kumi ʻa e fonualoto ʻo e Tuʻi ko Tūtanekamuní (Tutankhmun). Naʻe hoko ʻa Tūtanekamuni ki he taloni ʻo ʻIsipité ʻi he taʻu ʻe 3,000 tupu kimuʻá pea pule ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 10 kimuʻa pea mate fakafokifaá.2 Naʻe ʻiloa naʻe telio ia ʻi he Teleʻa ʻo e Ngaahi Tuʻí,3 ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻa e tuʻuʻanga ʻo hono fonualotó.

Naʻe fakamoleki ʻe Kata mo Kanavoni ha taʻu ʻe nima ʻi he fekumi ki he fonualoto ʻo Tūtanekamuní ka naʻe ʻikai ha ola. Fāifai pea talaange ʻe Kanavoni kia Kata kuo feʻunga ia mei heʻena feinga taʻeʻaongá. Naʻe kōlenga ʻa Kata ke na toe kumi ʻi ha faʻahitaʻu pē ʻe taha, naʻe liliu ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa Kanavoní ʻo loto ke ne fakapaʻanga.

Naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe Kata kuo ʻosi vakili fakaʻauliliki ʻa e kotoa ʻo e Teleʻa ʻo e Ngaahi Tuʻí—tuku kehe pē ʻa e feituʻu naʻe fokotuʻu ai honau nofoʻanga fakakemí. Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi pē ʻo e keli aí, kuo nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ʻuluaki sitepu naʻe hifo ai ki he fonualotó.4

ʻI he fāifai pea lava ʻa Kata ʻo sio ki he loki tataliʻanga ʻo e fonualoto ʻo Tūtanekamuní, naʻá ne sio ki he koulá ʻi he feituʻu kotoa. Hili ha māhina ʻe tolu hono hiki fakamaau ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻi he loki tataliʻangá, naʻá na fakaava leva ʻa e loki telioʻanga naʻe ʻosi tāpuni malú ʻi Fēpueli 1923—ko e taʻu ia ʻe 100 kuohilí. Ko e ʻilo fakaʻakiolosia ʻiloa taha ʻeni ʻo e senituli 20.

ʻI he lolotonga ʻo e ngaahi taʻu ʻo e fekumi taʻeʻaonga ko iá, naʻe ʻikai fakatokangaʻi ʻe Kata mo Kanavoni ʻa e meʻa naʻe ʻi hona lalo vaʻé peé. ʻI he senituli ʻe nima kimuʻa pea ʻaloʻi ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, naʻe ui ʻe he palōfita ko Sēkope ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻa e taʻe-mahuʻingaʻiá pe ʻikai fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ofi maí ko e “tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai mahuʻingá.” Naʻe tomuʻa mamata ʻa Sēkope he ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻo Selusalemá ʻa e Mīsaia naʻe talaʻofá ʻi Heʻene hāʻele maí. Naʻe kikiteʻi ʻe Sēkope te nau hoko ko ha “kakai [ʻe] fehiʻa ki he ngaahi lea mahinongofuá … mo [kumi] ki ha ngaahi meʻa ʻe ʻikai mahino kiate kinautolu. Ko ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau kuí, ʻa ia ko e kui naʻe tupu ʻi heʻenau tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai mahuʻingá, kuo pau ai ke nau tō.”5 ʻI hono fakalea ʻe tahá, te nau humu.

Naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻa e kikite ʻa Sēkopé. ʻI he lolotonga ʻa e ngāue ʻa Sīsū ʻi he māmaní, naʻe ʻikai tokanga ha kakai tokolahi ki he meʻa mahuʻingá, ʻo ʻikai tokanga kiate Ia. Naʻe ʻikai ke nau tokanga ki he Fakamoʻui ʻo māmaní. Naʻe ʻikai ke nau fakatokangaʻi Hono tufakanga ʻi hono fakahoko ʻa e palani ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní, ka nau fakahalaiaʻi mo tutuki Ia. Naʻa nau kumi mo tatali ki ha taha kehe ke ne ʻomi kiate kinautolu ʻa e fakamoʻuí.

Pea hangē ko e kakai ʻi Selusalemá, pea mo Kata pea mo Kanavoní, te tau lava foki mo kitautolu ʻo fakahehema ke taʻefakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mahuʻingá. ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau tokanga ʻi he fakahehema ko ʻení telia naʻa mole ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi mei heʻetau moʻuí pea ʻikai ke tau fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki lahi ʻokú Ne foaki maí. ʻOku tau fiemaʻu Ia. ʻOku faleʻi kitautolu ke tau falala “kakato ki he ngaahi lelei ʻaʻana ʻa ia ʻokú ne māfimafi ke fakamoʻuí.”6

Ko Ia ʻetau taumuʻá. Kapau te tau fakakaukau hala ʻoku ʻi ai ha fiemaʻu ki ha meʻa mavahe mei he meʻa ʻokú Ne foakí, ʻoku tau fakaʻikaiʻi pe holoki ai ʻa e taumuʻa mo e mālohi ʻe lava ke Ne maʻu ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. Kuó Ne ʻekea ʻa e ngaahi totonu ʻo e ʻaloʻofá mo foaki mai ʻa e ʻaloʻofa ko iá kiate kitautolu.7 Ko Ia ʻa e “tupuʻanga [taupotu taha ʻoku totonu ke tau] maʻu ai ha fakamolemole ʻo [ʻetau] ngaahi angahalá.”8 Ko Ia hotau Taukapo ki he Tamaí peá Ne poupou ki he meʻa kuo finangalo maʻu pē ki ai ʻa e Tamaí, ke tau foki ange kiate Ia ʻo maʻu Hono puleʻangá. ʻOku fiemaʻu, fakatatau mo e lea ʻa e palōfita ko ʻAlamaá, ke tau “mamata holo ʻaki [hotau] matá, pea kamata ke tui ki he ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea mo ʻene hāʻele mai ke huhuʻi ʻa hono kakaí, [pea te ne] mamahiʻia mo pekia ke ne fai ʻa e fakalelei maʻa [ʻetau] ngaahi angahalá; pea te ne toe tuʻu mei he pekiá, ʻa ia ʻe fakahoko ai ʻa e toetuʻú.”9 Ko Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa ʻetau koloa mahuʻingá

Kuo foaki mai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ha ngaahi founga ke tau tokanga moʻoni ai kiate Ia, kau ai ʻa e faingamālie fakaʻaho ke fakatomalá. Ko e taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e maʻongoʻonga ʻo e tāpuaki kuo foaki ko ʻení. ʻI hoku taʻu valú, naʻe papitaso au ʻe heʻeku tamaí. Hili iá, naʻá ku puke hono nimá ʻi he ʻamanaki ke ma kolosi ʻi ha hala femoʻuekina. Naʻe ʻikai ke u tokanga peá u manga ki he loto halá, feʻunga mo e lele mai ʻa ha fuʻu loli. Naʻe hamusi fakafoki mai au ʻe heʻeku tamaí, mei he halá ki he kauhalá. Kapau naʻe ʻikai ke ne fai ia, naʻe mei tuiʻi au ʻe he lolí. ʻI hoku natula pauʻú, naʻá ku fakakaukau, “Mahalo naʻe mei lelei ange ke tuiʻi au ʻe he lolí ke u mate, koeʻuhí he ʻe ʻikai ke u toe maʻa tatau au ʻo hangē ko e taimi ní, hili hoku papitaisó.

ʻI heʻeku hoko ko ha taha taʻu valú, naʻá ku maʻu hala naʻe fufulu ʻe he vai ʻo e papitaisó ʻa e angahalá. ʻOku ʻikai pehē ia. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu talu mei heʻeku papitaisó, kuó u ako, ko e angahalá ʻoku fakamaʻa ia ʻe he mālohi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻo fakafou ʻi Heʻene feilaulau fakaleleí, ʻi heʻetau fakahoko mo tauhi ʻa e fuakava ʻo e papitaisó.10 Pea, ʻi he meʻaʻofa ʻo e fakatomalá te tau lava ai ʻo tauhi hotau tuʻunga maʻá. Kuó u toe ako foki ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he sākalamēnití ha ngaahi founga mālohi mo haohaoa ki heʻetau moʻuí, ʻo tau lava ai ke maʻu ha fakamolemole ʻo ʻetau ngaahi angahalá.11

Pea hangē ko e koloa naʻe ʻi he lalo vaʻe ʻo Kata mo Kanavoní, ko e ngaahi tāpuaki mahuʻinga ʻo e sākalamēnití ʻoku ʻatā ia kiate kitautolu ʻi he taimi kotoa ʻoku tau ō ai ki he houalotu sākalamēnití. ʻOku talaʻofa mai ʻe hoko ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ko hatau takaua maʻu pē kapau te tau fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e sākalamēnití ʻi he founga ʻoku fakaʻaongaʻi ai ʻe ha taha ului foʻou ʻa e papitaisó mo e hilifakinimá, ʻi he loto-mafesifesi mo e laumālie fakatomala, pea mo fakapapau ke moʻui fakatatau mo e fuakava ko ia ʻo e papitaisó. ʻOku tāpuakiʻi kitautolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻaki Hono mālohi fakamāʻoniʻoniʻí ke tau lava maʻu pē ʻo tauhi maʻu ha fakamolemole ʻo ʻetau ngaahi angahalá, ʻi he uike kotoa pē.12

ʻOku fakamālohia hotau fakavaʻe fakalaumālié ʻi he fakatomalá, pea mo e feinga ke teuteu pea mo maʻu ʻi he tuʻunga taau ʻa e sākalamēnití. Ko ha fakavaʻe fakalaumālie mālohi pē te tau toki lava ai ke matatali ʻa e ʻuha lōvaí, matangi mālohí, mo e tāfeá ʻi he lea heliakí ʻoku nau fakafepakiʻi ʻetau moʻuí.13 ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ʻoku holoki hotau fakavaʻe fakalaumālié ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau liʻaki fakafiefiemālie ai ʻa e houalotu sākalamēnití pe ʻi he taimi ʻoku ʻikai ke tau tokanga taha ai ki he Fakamoʻuí ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e sākalamēnití. ʻE lava ke tau “fakamavaheʻi [kitautolu taʻe te tau ʻilo], mei he Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻo ʻikai ai te ne maʻu hano nofoʻanga ʻiate [kitautolu] ke fakahinohinoʻi ʻa [kitautolu] ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo e potó koeʻuhi ke tāpuakiʻi, mo fakamonūʻiaʻi, mo maluʻi ʻa [kitautolu].”14

ʻI he taimi ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ai ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻe ueʻi mo fakahinohinoʻi kitautolu ke tau fakahoko mo tauhi ha ngaahi fuakava kehe, hangē ko ia ʻoku tau fakahoko ʻi he ngaahi temipalé. ‘Oku fakaloloto ʻetau fetuʻutaki mo e ʻOtuá, ‘i hono fai iá.15 Mahalo kuó ke fakatokangaʻi kuo lahi ha ngaahi temipale foʻou kuo fanongonongo ʻi he ngaahi taʻu kimui ní, ʻo ʻomi ai ʻa e ngaahi temipalé ke ofi ange ki he kāingalotú.16 Ka ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ko e ofi ange ko ia ʻa e temipalé, ʻe ala faingofua ange ai ke fakatoupīkoi ʻetau ʻalu ki he temipalé. ʻI he mamaʻo ʻa e ʻū temipalé, ʻoku palani hotau taimí mo ʻetau ngaahi maʻuʻanga tokoní ke tau ō ke moihū ai. ʻOku tau fakamuʻomuʻa ʻa e ngaahi fononga ko ʻení.

ʻI he ofi mai ʻa e temipalé, ʻe ala faingofua ke tau fakaʻatā ʻa e fanga kiʻi meʻa īkí ke nau fakafeʻātungiaʻi ʻetau ʻalu ki he temipalé, mo pehē, “Sai pē, te u ʻalu ʻi ha taimi kehe.” ʻOku fakafaingofuaʻi ange ʻe he nofo ofi ki ha temipalé ʻetau fakataimi-tēpileʻi ha taimi ki he temipalé, ka ʻe lava ʻi he tuʻunga faingofua ange ko iá ke tau taʻefakahoungaʻi ʻa e temipalé. ʻI heʻetau fai iá, ʻoku tau “liʻaki ʻa e meʻa mahuʻingá,” ʻo ʻikai mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he faingamālie ke ofi ange ki he Fakamoʻuí ʻi Hono fale tapú. Ko ʻetau tukupā ke ʻalu ki he temipalé ʻoku totonu ke mālohi tatau pē ia ʻi he taimi ʻoku ofi aí mo ʻene mamaʻó.

Hili hono keli ʻe Kata mo Kanavoni ha feituʻu kehe ʻi he Teleʻa ʻo e Ngaahi Tuʻí ʻi hono kumi ʻa e fonualoto ʻo Tūtanekamuní, naʻá na fakatokangaʻi ʻa ʻena taʻetokangá. ʻOku ʻikai fiemaʻu ke tau ngāue taʻeʻaonga, hangē ko ia naʻá na fakahokó, ke kumi ʻetau koloá. Pe fiemaʻu ke tau kole faleʻi mei ha ngaahi maʻuʻanga tokoni makehe, ʻo fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e tūkunga ʻo e maʻuʻanga tokoní ʻi he fakakaukau ʻe tokoniʻi lahi ange kitautolu ʻe he faleʻi peheé ʻi ha faleʻi ʻe lava ke tau maʻu mei ha palōfita loto-fakatōkilalo ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Hangē ko hono lekooti ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá, ʻi he taimi naʻe fekumi ai ʻa Neamani ki ha faitoʻo ki hono kiliá, naʻá ne ʻita ʻi hono kole ange ke uku tuʻo fitu ʻi ha vaitafe angamaheni naʻe ofi mai pē. Ka naʻe fakalotoʻi ia ke muimui ki he faleʻi ʻa e palōfita ko ʻIlaisá, kae ʻoua ʻe falala ki he anga ʻo ʻene tomuʻa fakakaukau ki he founga ʻoku totonu ke hoko ai ʻa e maná.
