Fakaʻaongaʻi Homou Ngaahi Faingamālié
Ako ʻa e founga ʻe fakaʻatā ai ʻe he ngaahi ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo e ngaahi palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ke hū ki hoʻo moʻuí.
Naʻe toki maʻu kimuí ni mai ʻe hoku husepāniti ko Kulekí, ha sivi ʻe fiemaʻu ke fai hano tafa fakafaitoʻo lahi pea mo ha kimo ʻi ha ngaahi māhina. Hangē ko e tokolahi ʻo kimoutolu kuo mou fehangahangai mo ha tūkunga tatau, naʻa mau kamata lotu leva ʻi he taimi pē ko iá ki ha tokoni fakalangi mo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI he Sāpate hili ʻa e tafa ʻo Kulekí, naʻe ʻoange ʻa e sākalamēnití ki homa loki ʻi falemahakí.
ʻI he taimi ko ʻení, ko au pē naʻá ku maʻu ʻa e sākalamēnití. Meʻi mā ʻe taha. Ipu vai ʻe taha. ʻI he lotú, ʻoku faʻa nofo ʻeku tokangá ʻi he founga hono tufa ʻo e sākalamēnití—ko hono teuteuʻí, ko e tāpuakí mo hono tufakí. Ka ʻi he hoʻatā ko iá, naʻá ku fakalaulauloto ki he meʻafoaki ʻo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku ou maʻu ʻo fakafou ʻi he ouau toputapú pea mo e palōmesi ʻo e fuakava naʻá ku fakahoko ʻi heʻeku toʻo ʻa e konga mā mo e ipu vai ko iá. Ko ha taimi ʻeni naʻá ku fiemaʻu ai ha mālohi mei he langí. ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo ha loto-mamahi lahi, ongosia, mo e taʻepaú, naʻá ku fakakaukauloto ki he meʻafoaki ko ʻeni ʻa ia te ne lava ʻo fakaʻatā mai ʻa e mālohi meiate Ia ʻa ia naʻá ku fuʻu fiemaʻu vivilí. ʻE fakatupulaki ʻe hono maʻu ʻo e sākalamēnití ʻeku feohi mo e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻo ʻomi ha faingamālie ke u maʻu ʻa e meʻafoaki ʻo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá, kau ai ʻa e tauhi mai ʻa e kau ʻāngeló mo e mālohi fakaivia ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ke te ikuná.
ʻOku ʻikai ke u tui kuó u fakatokangaʻi ʻi ha mahino lahi peheni kimuʻa, ʻoku ʻikai ngata pē ʻi he mahuʻinga ʻa e taha ʻokú ne fakahoko ʻa e ouaú—ka ko e meʻa ʻoku fakaʻatā ʻe he ouaú mo ʻetau palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá, ʻoku totonu ke tukutaha ai ʻetau tokangá. ʻOku fakaʻatā ʻe he ngaahi ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo e ngaahi palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá pea fakahoko leva ha ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. Ka ʻoku hoko fēfē ʻeni?
ʻUluakí, kuo pau ke fakahoko ha ouau ʻi he mafai mei he ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá, kae lava ke ne fakahā ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻa e founga hono tufakí. Naʻe fakafalala ʻe he Tamaí kia Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e ngaahi kī mo e mafai ke tokangaʻi hono fakahoko ʻo e ngaahi ouau ʻo Hono lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. Fakatatau mo ʻEne fakahinohinó, ʻi he fakahokohoko ʻo Hono lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, kuo fakanofo ai ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo e ʻOtuá ke nau tuʻu ʻo fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá.
Uá, ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fai pē ha ngaahi palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá—ka kuo pau ke tau tauhi kinautolu. ʻI ha ngaahi ouau lahi ʻo e ongoongoleleí, ʻoku tau fakahoko ai ha ngaahi fuakava toputapu mo e ʻOtuá; ʻokú Ne palōmesi ke tāpuakiʻi kitautolu ʻi heʻetau tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fuakava ko iá. ʻOku tau fakatokangaʻi nai ko hono fakatahaʻi ʻo e ngaahi ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí fakataha mo hono tauhi ʻo e ngaahi palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá ʻokú na fakaʻatā kitautolu ke maʻu ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá?
Naʻá ku fifili ʻi he hoʻatā ko iá pe naʻe mahino kakato kiate au, ko ha ʻofefine fuakava ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa e founga ke maʻu ai ʻa e meʻafoaki ʻo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo fakafou ʻi he ngaahi ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí pea ʻoku ou fakatokangaʻi moʻoni nai ʻa e founga ʻoku ngāue ai ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻiate aú.
Naʻe fai ha fakaafe fakaepalōfita ʻi he 2019 ki he kakai fefine ʻo e Siasí, ʻo akoʻi mai ʻa e founga ke maʻu ai ʻa e mālohi ʻo e Fakamoʻuí ki heʻetau moʻuí. Naʻe fakaafeʻi kitautolu ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ke ako ʻa e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 25, ko ha fakahā naʻe fai kia ʻEma Sāmita ʻi Hāmoni, Penisilivēnia. Naʻe liliu ʻeku moʻuí ʻi hono tali ʻa e fakaafe ko iá.
Naʻá ku maʻu ha faingamālie taʻeʻamanekina ʻi he māhina kuo ʻosí ke ʻaʻahi ki Hāmoni. Naʻá ku ʻi ai ʻi he ʻū lalo ʻakau māpelé, ʻa ia naʻe fakafoki mai ai ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí kia Siosefa Sāmita mo ʻŌliva Kautelé. Naʻe ofi ki he ʻuluʻakau ko iá ʻa e matapā muʻa ʻo e ʻapi ʻo Siosefa mo ʻEmá. ʻI he ʻapi ko iá, ʻoku ʻi ai ha matapā sioʻata ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e tafuʻanga afí. Naʻá ku tuʻu ʻi he matapā sioʻata ko iá ʻo fifili pe ko e hā naʻe fakakaukau ki ai ʻa ʻEma ʻi heʻene sio atu ki tuʻa ʻi he ʻuluʻakaú.
ʻI Siulai ʻo e 1830, naʻe taʻu 26 ʻa ʻEma; naʻá ne kei siʻi. Ko e ʻosi pē ia ha taʻu ʻe tolu mo e konga mei heʻene malí. Naʻe mālōlō haʻane kiʻi pēpē tangata—ko ʻene fuofua tamá. ʻOku tuʻu hono kiʻi faʻitoká ʻi he foʻi hala tatau pē mei hono ʻapí. ʻI heʻeku tuʻu ʻi he matapā sioʻata ko iá, naʻe ʻikai faingataʻa ke u fakakaukauloto ki he meʻa naʻe nofo ʻi heʻene fakakaukaú. Ko e moʻoni naʻá ne hohaʻa ki heʻena ngaahi meʻa fakapaʻangá, ko e fakautuutu ʻo e fakatanga naʻe tuʻu fakatuʻutāmaki ki heʻena malú, ki hona kahaʻú. Ka naʻe ʻātakaiʻi ia ʻe he ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne fifili nai ki hono tuʻunga ʻi he palaní, ʻene taumuʻa ʻi Hono puleʻangá, mo e meʻa te ne malava ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá?
ʻOku ou tui mahalo pē naʻá ne fifili ki ai.
Ofi mai pē aí ko e feituʻu naʻe fakafoki mai ai ʻa e meʻafoaki ʻo e mafai mo e kī ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻo e ʻOtuá ki he māmaní. Ko ha taimi ʻeni naʻe fiemaʻu ai ʻe ʻEma ha mālohi mei he langí. ʻI he lotolotonga ʻo ha loto-mamahi lahi, ongosia, mo e taʻepaú, ʻoku ou fakakaukauloto atu ki ha fifili ʻa ʻEma fekauʻaki mo e meʻafoaki ko ʻeni ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa ia te ne lava ʻo fakaʻatā mai ʻa e mālohi meiate Ia ʻa ia naʻá ne fuʻu fiemaʻu vivilí.
Ka naʻe ʻikai tuʻu pē ʻa ʻEma ʻi he matapā sioʻatá mo fifili.
Lolotonga hono akoʻi ʻo e Palōfita ko Siosefá ʻi he ngaahi kī, ngaahi tuʻunga, ngaahi ouau, mo e founga ke tokoni ai ki he ngāue ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻEikí tonu, ʻo fakafou ʻi Heʻene palōfitá, ha fakahā maʻa ʻEma. Naʻe ʻikai foaki ia ki he ʻEma ko e palesiteni Fineʻofa ʻo Nāvuú—ka naʻe foaki ʻa e fakahā ko ʻení ki he ʻEma taʻu 26 ʻi Hāmoní. Naʻe ako ʻa ʻEma ʻo fakafou ʻi he fakahā fekauʻaki mo hono fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻo e lotó pea mo e fehokotaki fakafuakava te ne fakatupulaki ʻa e tuʻunga malava ʻo e ngaahi ouau lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ko iá ʻo ngāue ʻi heʻene moʻuí.
ʻUluakí, naʻe fakamanatu ʻe he ʻEikí kia ʻEma hono tuʻunga ʻi Heʻene palaní, ʻo kau pe ko hai ia pea mo hai ʻoku ʻaʻana iá—ko ha ʻofefine ʻi Hono puleʻangá. Naʻe fakaafeʻi ia ke ne “ʻaʻeva ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo e angamaʻá,” ko ha hala naʻe kau ai ʻa e ngaahi ouau te ne fakaʻatā ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá kapau ʻe tauhi ʻe ʻEma ʻene ngaahi fuakavá.
Uá, naʻe ʻoange ʻe he ʻEikí ha taumuʻa ki heʻene moʻuí ʻi he taimi ʻo ʻene tengihiá. Naʻe ʻikai mamata ʻataʻatā pē ʻa ʻEma ki hono Fakafoki Mai ʻo e Ongoongoleleí; ka ko ha tokotaha mahuʻinga ia ʻi he ngāue naʻe hokó. ʻE vaheʻi ia ke ne “fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi folofolá, pea ke ekinaki ki he siasí.” ʻE “fakamoʻuaʻi ʻa [hono] taimí ki he faitohí, pea ke ako lahi.” Naʻe ʻoange kia ʻEma ha fatongia toputapu ke tokoni ki hono teuteuʻi ʻo e Kāingalotú ke moihuú; ʻe tali ʻenau ngaahi hiva ki he ʻEikí ko ha lotu pea “tali ia ʻaki [ha] tāpuaki ki honau ʻulú.”
Fakaʻosí, naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ha founga ki hono fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻo e lotó ʻa ia te ne teuteuʻi ʻa ʻEma ki he hakeakiʻí. Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e ʻEikí kiate ia, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fai ʻeni, ʻe ʻikai te ke lava ʻo haʻu ki he feituʻu ʻoku ou ʻi aí.”
Kapau te tau lau fakalelei ʻa e vahe 25, te tau ʻiloʻi ai ha fakalakalaka mahuʻinga naʻe hoko. ʻE ʻalu ʻa ʻEma mei heʻene hoko ko ha ʻofefine ʻi he puleʻangá ki ha “fefine kuo fili” pea hoko ko ha kuini. ʻE hanga ʻe he ngaahi ouau ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné mo e Faka-Melekisētekí fakataha mo hono tauhi ʻo ʻene ngaahi palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá, ʻo fakatupulaki ʻene feohi mo e Laumālié pea mo e kau ʻāngeló, ʻo fakaivia ia ke moʻui ʻaki ha tataki fakalangi. Tuʻunga ʻi Hono mālohi fakalangí, ʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he ʻOtuá hono lotó, fakalahi hono ivi malavá, pea liliu ia ki he tuʻunga naʻá Ne ʻafioʻi te ne lava ʻo aʻusiá. Pea ʻi he ngaahi ouau ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-Melekisētekí, “ʻe fakahā … ʻa e mālohi ʻo e anga faka-ʻOtuá” ʻi heʻene moʻuí pea ʻe vaheʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e veilí kae lava ke ne maʻu ha mahino meiate Ia. Ko e anga ʻeni ʻo e ngāue ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻiate kitautolú.
Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻo pehē:
Ko e meʻa kotoa ne hoko ʻi [Hāmoní] ʻoku ʻi ai ʻene fekauʻaki ki hoʻomou moʻuí. ʻE lava ke tataki mo faitāpuekina kimoutolu takitaha ʻe hono fakafoki mai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, fakataha mo e faleʻi ʻa e ʻEikí kia ʻEmá. …
“… ʻOku fiemaʻu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa tatau ne fakahinohino ʻe he ʻOtuá kia ʻEma mo kimoutolu kotoa ke mou faí kae lava ke mou maʻu e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi hoʻomou moʻuí.”
Naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga naʻe hoko ʻi he ongo tafaʻaki fakatouʻosi ʻo e matapā sioʻata ko ia ʻi Hāmoní, kau ai ʻa e fakahā naʻe foaki ki he fefine kuo fili ʻa ia kuo ui ʻe he ʻEikí—ko ha fakahā te ne fakamālohia, fakalotolahiʻi, mo fakahinohinoʻi ʻa ʻEma Sāmita, ko e ʻofefine ʻo e ʻOtuá.
ʻI he taimi naʻe foaki ai ki homa mokopuna fefine ko ʻIsapelá ha hingoa mo ha tāpuakí, naʻe tāpuakiʻi ia ʻe heʻene tamaí ʻaki ha mahino ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí; ke ne hokohoko atu ke tupulaki mo ako fekauʻaki mo e tāpuaki te ne ʻomi ʻi heʻene moʻuí; pea ʻe tupulaki ʻene tui ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻi he fakaʻau ke tupulaki ʻa e mahino naʻá ne maʻú.
ʻOku ʻikai faʻa tāpuakiʻi ha kiʻi taʻahine ke ne maʻu ha mahino ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo ako ʻa e founga ʻe tokoniʻi ai ia ʻe he ngaahi ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ko iá mo e ngaahi palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá ke ne maʻu ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ka naʻá ku manatuʻi ʻa ʻEma peá u fakakaukau loto pē kiate au, Ko e hā ka taʻelava ai? ʻOku malava ʻe he kiʻi ʻofefine siʻisiʻi ko ʻení ʻo hoko ko ha fefine kuo fili ʻi Hono puleʻangá pea aʻu ʻo hoko ko ha kuini. Tuʻunga ʻi Heʻene ngaahi ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo hono tauhi ʻene ngaahi palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá, ʻe ngāue ʻiate ia ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ke tokoniʻi ia ke ne ikunaʻi ha faʻahinga meʻa pē ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he moʻuí pea hoko ko e fefine ʻoku ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá te ne lava ʻo aʻusiá. Ko ha meʻa ʻeni ʻoku ou loto ke mahino ki he taʻahine takitaha ʻi he puleʻangá.
“Fakaʻaongaʻi homou ngaahi faingamālié.”
Ako ki he founga ʻe fakaʻatā ai ʻe he ngaahi ouau ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo e ngaahi palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá ke tafe atu ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ki hoʻo moʻuí ʻi ha tuʻunga lelei ange, ʻo ngāueʻi pea fakafou ʻiate koe, ʻo fakaivia mo teuʻi koe ke ke aʻusia hoʻo taumuʻa mo e ivi malava kakató.
Ako fakalelei mo fakalaulauloto ki he ngaahi ouau ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné mo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-Melekisētekí, ngaahi palōmesi ʻi he fuakava ʻoku tau fefakahokoʻakí, pea mo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku tau maʻu ʻo fakafou ʻi he ngaahi ouau ko iá.
Manatuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai ko e niʻihi pē ʻoku nau fakahoko ʻa e ouaú ʻoku mahuʻingá; ka ʻoku totonu foki ke tukutaha hoʻo tokangá ʻi he meʻa ʻoku fakaʻatā ʻe he ouaú mo hoʻo palōmesi ʻi he fuakavá.
Ko hono maʻu ko ia ʻo e maá mo e vaí ko ha fakamanatu fakauike ia ʻoku ngāue Hono mālohí ʻiate koe ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke ikunaʻi. Ko hono tui ʻo e kāmeni ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeiki māʻoniʻoní ko ha fakamanatu fakaʻaho ia ʻoku ngāue ʻa e meʻafoaki ʻo Hono mālohí ʻiate koe ke tokoniʻi koe ke ke hoko ʻo tatau mo e ʻOtuá.
ʻOku tau lava kotoa ʻo maʻu ʻa e meʻafoaki ʻo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá.
ʻOku maʻu ia ʻi he taimi kotoa pē ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻa e sākalamēnití.
Taimi kotoa pē ʻoku tau hū ai ki ha temipale.
Ko e meʻa mahuʻinga taha ia ʻi hoku Sāpaté. Ko e ʻuhinga ʻeni ʻoku ou fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ai ʻeku lekomeni temipalé.
“ʻOku fakahā ʻi hono ngaahi ouaú ʻa e mālohi ʻo e anga faka-ʻOtuá.”
Pea ko ʻeku fakamoʻoní ia ki he meʻafoaki ko ʻení ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻēmeni.
