ʻOku Mahuʻinga ʻa e Ngaahi Leá
ʻOku fokotuʻu ʻe he ngaahi leá ha tōʻonga fakakaukau. ʻOku nau fakaongo atu ʻetau ngaahi fakakaukaú, ongó, mo e aʻusiá ki he leleí pe koví.

Ko e ngaahi pōpoaki mei he tuʻunga malangá ni ʻoku fakahoko ia ʻi he ngaahi lea. ʻOku fai ia ʻi he lea faka-Pilitāniá pea liliu ki he ngaahi lea fakafonua kehekehe ʻe meimei 100. ʻOku tatau maʻu pē hono makatuʻungá. Ngaahi lea. Pea ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻaupito ʻa e ngaahi leá. Te u toe fakaongo atu ia. ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻa e ngaahi leá!

Meʻapangó, ʻoku faʻa taʻe-fakakaukauʻi, fakavave, mo fakamamahi ʻa e ngaahi leá. Ko hono lea ʻakí pē, he ʻikai ke toe lava ʻo fakafoki. Te ne lava ʻo fakalaveaʻi, tauteaʻi, tukuhifo, mo fakatupu ha ngaahi tōʻonga fakatupu maumau. ʻE lava ke tau mafasia ai.
ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ʻoku lava ʻa e ngaahi leá ke fakafiefiaʻi ha ikuna, fakatupu ʻamanaki lelei mo fakalotolahi. Te ne lava ʻo ʻai ke tau toe fakakaukau, kamata foʻou mo fakatonutonu hotau ʻalungá. ʻOku lava ʻa e ngaahi leá ʻo fakaava ʻetau fakakaukaú ki he moʻoní.
Ko e ʻuhinga ia ʻoku matuʻaki mahuʻinga ai ʻa e ngaahi folofola ʻa e ʻEikí.
ʻI he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, naʻe fepaki ʻa e palōfita ko ʻAlamaá mo hono kakai ʻi ʻAmelika ʻi he kuongamuʻá mo ha tau lahi mo kinautolu naʻa nau liʻaki ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, fakafefeka honau lotó mo uesia honau anga fakafonuá. Naʻe mei lava pē ʻa e kau faivelengá ʻo tau, ka naʻe akonaki ʻa ʻAlamā: “Pea ko ʻeni, koeʻuhi kuo hoko hono malanga ʻaki ʻo e folofolá ko ha fuʻu meʻa ke takiakiʻi ai ʻa e kakaí ke fai ʻa ia ʻoku totonu—ʻio, naʻe mālohi lahi ange ʻene ngāué ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa e kakaí ʻi he heletā, pe ko ha toe meʻa kehe, ʻa ia kuo hoko kiate kinautolu—ko ia naʻe fakakaukau ai ʻa ʻAlamā ʻoku ʻaonga ke nau ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻa e ivi ʻo e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá.”
ʻOku makehe atu ʻa e “folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá” ʻi ha toe meʻa ʻoku fakahoko atu. Kuo hoko ia talu ʻa e Fakatupu ʻo e māmaní ʻi he folofola ʻa e ʻEikí: “Ke maama: pea maama ai.”
Naʻe tō mei he Fakamoʻuí ʻa e fakapapau ko ʻeni ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú: “ʻE mole ʻa e langí mo māmani; ka ʻe ʻikai mole ʻa ʻeku ngaahi leá.”
Pea mo ʻeni: “Kapau ʻoku ʻofa ha tangata kiate au, te ne fai ʻeku leá: pea ʻe ʻofa ʻa ʻeku Tamaí kiate ia, pea te ma omi kiate ia, ʻo nofo maʻu mo ia.”
Pea meia Mele ko e faʻē ʻa Sīsuú ʻa e fakamoʻoni loto-fakatōkilalo ko ʻení: “Vakai, ko e kaunanga au ʻa e ʻEikí; ke hoko mai kiate au ʻo hangē ko hoʻo leá.”
ʻI heʻetau tui mo muimui ki he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá te tau ofi ange ai kiate Ia. Kuo palōmesi mai ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni, “Kapau te ke ako ʻEne ngaahi folofolá, ʻe tupulaki hoʻo malava ke tatau ange mo Iá.”
ʻIkai ʻoku tau fie hangē kotoa ko e fakalea ʻo e himí, ke “[mohu tāpuekina mo māʻoniʻoni ange—ʻo tatau ange mo e Fakamoʻuí]”?
ʻOku ou sio loto atu ki he tūʻulutui ʻa e kiʻi talavou ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻo fanongo ki he folofola ʻene Tamai ʻi Hēvaní: “[Siosefa,] Ko Hoku ʻAlo ʻOfaʻangá ʻeni. Fanongo kiate Ia!”
ʻOku tau “fanongo kiate Ia” ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻo e folofolá, ka ʻoku tau liʻaki pē nai ia ʻi he pēsí, pe ʻoku tau fakatokangaʻi ʻokú Ne folofola mai kiate kitautolu? ʻOku tau liliu nai?
ʻOku tau “fanongo kiate Ia” ʻi he fakahā mo e ngaahi ueʻi fakataautaha mei he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ko e tali ki he lotú, pea ʻi he ngaahi taimi ko ia ko Sīsū Kalaisi pē, te Ne lava ʻo fakamaʻamaʻa ʻetau kavengá, foaki mai ʻa e fakamolemolé mo e nongá, pea ʻōʻōfaki kitautolu “ʻe he ongo toʻukupu ʻo ʻene ʻofá, ʻo fakafou ʻi he mālohi ʻo ʻEne Fakaleleí.”
Uá, ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa e kau palōfitá.
ʻOku fakamoʻoni ʻa e kau palōfitá ki he faka-ʻOtua ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOku nau akoʻi ʻEne ongoongoleleí mo fakahaaʻi ʻEne ʻofá ki he taha kotoa. ʻOku ou fakamoʻoni ʻoku fanongo mo lea ʻaki ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ko hotau palōfita moʻuí, ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí.
ʻOku pōtoʻi lea ʻa Palesiteni Nalesoni. Kuó ne pehē, “[Nofo ʻi he hala ʻo e fuakavá],” “Tānaki fakataha ʻa ʻIsileli,” Tuku ke lāngilangiʻia ʻa e ʻOtuá,” “Langa e ngaahi hala fakakavakava ʻo e mahinó,” Fakamālō,” “Fakatupulaki hoʻo tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí],” “Fakatupulekina hoʻo fakamoʻoní,” mo “Hoko ko ha tokotaha faʻa fakalelei.”
Kuó ne kole mai kimuí ni ke tau “fakakaukau fakasilesitiale.” Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻI he taimi ʻokú ke fepaki ai mo ha palopalema, fakakaukau fakasilesitiale! ʻI he taimi ʻoku siviʻi ai koe ʻe he ʻahiʻahí, fakakaukau fakasilesitiale. ʻI he taimi ʻoku fakamamahiʻi ai koe ʻe he moʻuí mo e ngaahi ʻofaʻangá, fakakaukau fakasilesitiale! ʻI he taimi ʻoku mate taʻe-ʻamanekina ai ha taha, fakakaukau fakasilesitiale. …ʻI he taimi ʻoku taulōfuʻu mai ai kiate koe ʻa e mafasiá, fakakaukau fakasilesitiale! … ʻI hoʻo fakakaukau fakasilesitialé, ʻe liliu māmālie ho lotó, … te ke vakai ai ki he ngaahi faingataʻá mo e fakafepakí ʻi ha fakakaukau foʻou, … [pea] ʻe tupulaki hoʻo tuí.”

Naʻe lea ʻa ʻEletā Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmita, kimuʻa pea toki hoko ko e Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí, ʻo fekauʻaki mo hono hikinimaʻi ʻo e palōfitá mo talangofua ki heʻene ngaahi leá.
