Ko e Fakamoʻoni ʻa ha Faʻē: Ko ha Meʻaʻofa mei he ʻOtuá
Naʻá ku maʻu ʻi he fāmili hoku husepānití ha ʻapi, ongoʻi ʻoku fakakau au, pea mahuʻinga tahá, ko ha fakamoʻoni ki heʻeku Tamai Hēvaní.
Naʻá ku tupu hake ko ha fānau pē ʻe toko taha, ʻo ohi hake ʻe ha faʻē taautaha. Naʻá ma faʻa hiki takai holo. ʻOku ou manatuʻi ʻeku ongoʻi hangē naʻe ʻikai haʻaku tūkunga pau pe ko ha feituʻu ke u ui ko ʻapí. ʻI heʻeku kei taʻu fakaʻosi ʻi he ako māʻolungá, naʻe hiki ʻeku faʻeé ki Kalefōnia pea naʻá ku nofo pē ʻi ʻIutā, mo ʻamanaki te u maʻu ha tūkunga pau ʻi heʻeku moʻuí.
Naʻá ku hiki ʻo nofo mo ha niʻihi ʻo hoku kāingá. Naʻá ku faʻiteliha pē ki he taimi te u ʻalu mo foki ai ki ʻapí, pea naʻe ʻikai fiemaʻu ke u poaki ki ha taha. ʻOku hangē nai ko e tūkunga ia ʻoku fakaʻānaua ʻa e toʻu tupu kotoa pē ke nau ʻi aí, ko ia? Naʻe ʻikai taau ia maʻaku, pea naʻe ʻikai ko e tuʻunga pau ia naʻá ku ʻamanaki ki aí. Naʻá ku kei ongoʻi pē naʻe ʻikai ke fakakau au. Naʻá ku ongoʻi tuenoa.
Naʻá ku ʻai ha fofonga loto-toʻa mo fiefia he lolotonga ʻo e ʻahó, ka ʻi he poʻulí naʻá ku faʻa tau ʻi ha tauʻanga meʻalele ʻo ha ʻapisiasi ʻa e Siasí ʻo fanongo ki he ngaahi hiva ʻa e Siasí mo tangi. Naʻe kamata ke u ongoʻi ʻa e fiemaʻu vivili ke u ʻiloʻi ʻoku moʻui moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá.
“Tamai Hēvani, ʻoku ou fakaʻamu ke ʻiloʻi ʻokú Ke moʻui. ʻOku ou hē. ʻOku ou ongoʻi tuenoa. ʻOku ou fakaʻamu ke ʻiloʻi ʻiate au pē. ʻOku ou fuʻu fiemaʻu moʻoni ke u ʻiloʻi.”
Fakalongolongo. Ko e meʻa pē naʻá ku fanongo ki aí ko e lōngonoa.
Naʻe ʻikai teitei hoko mai ʻa e nonga mo e fiemālie ko iá. Naʻá ku mavahe maʻu pē ʻoku ou ongoʻi loto-foʻi, ʻo hangē kuó u fakamoleki hoku taimí ʻi he lotú. Naʻe hangē naʻe ʻikai tali mai maʻu pē ʻa e ngaahi lotu loʻimataʻia naʻá ku fai ʻi heʻeku kaá, ʻi he ngaahi pō ko iá. Ne hangē naʻe ʻi ai maʻu pē ʻa e … lōngonoá.
ʻI he ngaahi taʻu lahi ne hoko maí, naʻá ku kei ongoʻi tuenoa pē, ka neongo ʻa e ngaahi lotu ko ia naʻe hangē naʻe ʻikai talí, naʻá ku kei maʻu pē ʻa e tui ʻoku moʻui ʻa e ʻOtuá.
Ko ha Ongoʻi ʻo e Kau Atú
ʻI heʻeku fetaulaki mo e tangata naʻe hoko ko hoku husepānití, ne faifai peá u ongoʻi ʻoku ou kau atu mo ongoʻi ʻoku ou ʻi ha tūkunga pau—ko ha ongoʻi ʻoku ou ʻi ʻapi. Naʻe talitali loto-māfana au ʻe hono fāmilí. Ko ha meʻa lahi ia kiate au he naʻe fuoloa taʻu ʻeku fakaʻānaua ke maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ongo ko iá. ʻI he taimi naʻá ma mali ai ʻi he temipalé, naʻá ku ongoʻi ha fiefia lahi ʻi he kau ki ha fāmili ʻoku fakatefito ʻi he ongoongoleleí.
Naʻá ku saiʻia he mamata ki hono foaki ʻo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻi ʻapí, maʻulotu ʻi he uooti ʻo e faʻē hoku husepānití pea hoko atu ai ki ha maʻu meʻatokoni efiafi ʻi heʻene ngoue ʻakau fua ʻi hono ʻapí, mo e fanongo ki he ngaahi fasi mālie ʻoku tā mei hono peitó ʻi heʻemau tangutu ʻo maʻu meʻatokoni mo pōtalanoá. Naʻe tō-kakano ʻa e ngaahi aʻusia ko ʻení ki hoku lotó pea naʻe kamata ke ne fakakakato ha meʻa naʻe teʻeki ʻaupito ke u aʻusia kimuʻa. Ko e ʻiuniti ko ʻeni ʻo e fāmilí ko e meʻa pē ia naʻá ku fiemaʻú, pea naʻe ʻafioʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá. Ka naʻe teʻeki ʻosi ʻEne tali mai ʻa e ngaahi lotu ko ia ne fai ʻi he fuoloa e poʻulí.
Naʻá ku tangutu mo ʻeku faʻē ʻi he fonó ʻi hono fakafaletoló ʻi ha pongipongi ʻe taha. Naʻá ne lea ʻaki ha meʻa naʻe matuʻaki ʻuhingamālie kiate au. Ko e fuofua taimi ia ʻi heʻeku moʻuí ke u fanongo ai ki hono fakamoʻoniʻi mai ʻe he Laumālié ʻoku moʻui ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní.
Naʻá ne pehē mai, “ʻI he taimi ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻoku ʻi ai moʻoni ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní, ʻoku liliu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē.”
Naʻe liliu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē talu mei ai! Naʻe tupulaki ʻeku fakamoʻoní ʻi heʻeku feinga ke ʻilo lahi angé. ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi he taimí ni ʻa e taimi ʻoku folofola mai ai ʻa e Laumālié kiate aú. ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi ʻa e ongo fakaʻofoʻofa ko iá ʻi he taimi ʻokú Ne ofi mai aí.
Ko ha Tali mei he Tamai Hēvaní
ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha ne u lau ai ha fehuʻi fakalaumālie ʻi he mītia fakasōsialé naʻe fehuʻi ai, “Te ke fetaulaki nai mo e ʻEikí ʻi fē ʻi he ʻaho ní?”
Naʻá ku “fetaulaki” mo Ia ʻi ha ongo fakalaumālie ne u maʻu ʻi heʻeku lue ʻi ha hala ofi ki homau ʻapí hili ia ha ngaahi taʻu lahi ʻo ʻeku malí. Naʻe tuku ʻeku luelué ka u hiki hifo ʻa e ongo ko iá. Naʻá ku sioloto kiate au ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi kuohilí, ʻi heʻeku tangutu toko taha ʻi he tauʻanga meʻalele ʻa e Siasí pea mahino kiate au, naʻe ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he taimi ko iá ʻa e meʻa naʻe ʻikai keu lava ʻo mamata ki aí.
Ko e meʻa naʻe ʻikai ke u lava ʻo sio ki ai ʻi he taimi ko iá, ʻe fakahā mai ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate au ʻi ha ʻaho ko hai Ia ʻo fakafou mai ʻi heʻeku faʻē ʻi he fono ʻi he kahaʻú, ʻa ia ne teʻeki ke u fetaulaki mo iá. Naʻe lava ke Ne ʻafioʻi te u maʻu ha vā fetuʻutaki mo [ʻeku faʻē ʻi he fonó] ʻa ia te ne langaki mo fakamālohia au ʻi ha ngaahi founga ne teʻeki ke u ʻilo kimuʻa.
Naʻá Ne ʻosi ʻomi e talí ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi kuohilí, ka naʻe ʻikai ke u fanongo ki ai. Naʻá Ne maʻu ʻa e fakakaukau ʻoku taʻengatá, ka naʻe ʻikai ke u maʻu ia ʻe au. Naʻe ʻikai ke u lava ʻo sio ki Heʻene ngaahi palani maʻakú. ʻI he momeniti ko ia ʻo ʻeku luelué, naʻá Ne ueʻi māmālie ke u ʻilo ʻi hoku lotó ʻa e meʻa kuó Ne tokonaki maʻakú.
ʻI he taimi ʻoku ou fanongo ai ki he lotu pe lea ʻeku faʻē ʻi he fonó ʻo kau ki heʻene ʻofa taʻe-ueʻia ki hono Fakamoʻuí, ʻoku ou lava ʻo ongoʻi ʻene fakamoʻoní. Ko ha meʻaʻofa makehe ia mei he ʻOtuá ke u mohu tāpuekina ke hoko ko ha taha ʻo hono ngaahi ʻofefiné. Ko ʻene fakamoʻoní ko ha meʻaʻofa foki mo ia mei he ʻOtuá ʻokú ne tāpuekina ʻemau moʻuí kotoa. ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku moʻui hoku Fakamoʻuí koeʻuhí kuó ne fakaʻaongaʻi ʻene moʻuí kotoa ke ʻunuʻunu ke ofi kiate Ia. ʻOkú ne fakafōtunga ʻEne moʻoní ke mamata ki ai ʻa e taha kotoa.
