ʻOku lekooti ʻe Molonai ʻa e tohihohoko ʻo ʻEtá ʻo aʻu kia Sēleti ʻi he Taua ʻo Pēpelí.

Fakamatalaʻi ange ne hili hono hiki ʻe Molonai e lekooti ʻa ʻene tamaí, naʻá ne tohi ha fakanounou pe fakanounouʻi, ʻo e lekooti naʻe maʻu he ʻū lauʻipeleti koula ʻe 24. Ko e lēkōtí ni ʻoku ʻi ai e hisitōlia ʻo e kau Sēletí, ʻa ia ne nau nofo ʻi he konitinēniti ko ʻAmeliká kimuʻa ʻi he kau Nīfaí mo e kau Leimaná.

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe kamata e fakamatala ʻa Molonai ki he hisitōlia ʻo Sēletí ʻaki ʻene lekooti ʻa e tohi hohoko ʻo e palōfita ko ʻEtá,ʻa ia naʻá ne hiki ʻa e hisitōliá ʻi he ʻū lauʻipeleti koula ʻe 24. Naʻe lekooti ʻe Molonai ʻa e tohihohoko ʻo ʻEtá ʻo aʻu ki ha tangata ko Sēleti ʻa ia naʻe moʻui ʻi he taimi ʻo e Taua ʻo Pēpelí.

Tuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi lotu ʻa e tokoua ʻo Sēletí,ʻoku maʻu ʻe hono fāmilí mo e kaungāmeʻá ha ʻaloʻofa mo e tataki.

ʻEke ki he kau akó pe kuo ʻi ai hanau niʻihi ne nau ʻi ha feituʻu naʻe ʻikai ke mahino ai kiate kinautolu ʻa e lea fakafonua naʻe ngāue ʻaki ʻe he kakaí. Fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau vahevahe ʻa e ongo ne nau maʻú. Hili ia pea kole ange ke nau fakakaukau ki he ongo naʻe maʻu ʻe he kakai ʻi he Taua ʻo Pēpelí ʻi he taimi ne nau ʻilo ai kuo veuveuki ʻenau leá. Kole ke nau fakalaulauloto fakalongolongo ki he ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení :

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke nau lau fakalongolongo ʻa e ʻEta 1:33–34. Kimuʻa ke nau laú, kole ange ke nau kumi pe (1) ko hai ne fie maʻu ʻe Sēleti ke fetuʻutaki mo iá pea (2) ko e hā naʻá ne fokotuʻu ke veteki ʻaki e palopalemá.

Vahevahe ʻa e kalasí ke tautau toko ua. ʻI he hoá takitaha, ʻai ʻa e kau akó ke nau fetongitongi ʻi hono lau leʻolahi ʻa e ʻEta 1:35–42. Kole ke nau kumi ʻa e ngaahi lotu ʻa e tokoua ʻo Sēletí pea mo e tali ʻa e ʻEikí ki he ngaahi lotu ko iá. Ka hili hano maʻu ʻe he kau akó ha taimi feʻunga ke lau ai ia, ʻeke ange:

  • Naʻe tali fēfē nai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi lotu ʻa e tokoua ʻo Sēletí?

  • Ko e hā ha ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni te tau lava ʻo ako mei he founga lotu ʻa e tokoua ʻo Sēletí mo e founga ne tali ʻaki ʻe he ʻEikí ʻene ngaahi lotú? (ʻI hono vahevahe ʻe he kau akó ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú , poupouʻi kinautolu ke nau fakalaulauloto ki he Tamai Hēvaní mo ʻEne ʻofa mamahi mo ʻofa ʻiate kinautolú. Hiki he palakipoé ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení : ʻI heʻetau toutou tangi ki he ʻEikí ʻi he tuí, te Ne ʻofa mamahi kiate kitautolu. )

Kimuʻa pea kamata e kalasí, hiki ʻeni he palakipoé. (Pe ko haʻo fakakaukau ke ʻoange kiate kinautolu ʻi ha laʻi+-pepa tufa pe ko haʻo lau māmālie leʻo lahi lava e kau akó ʻo hiki.)

Fakaafeʻi ʻa e kau akó ke nau tali e ngaahi fehuʻí ni ʻi heʻenau pepa akó pe tohinoa ki he ako folofolá. Te ke lava pē ʻo ʻoange ha faingamālie ke nau vahevahe ai ʻa e meʻa ne nau tohí. Fakamoʻoniʻi ʻokú ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻofa ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ʻiate kitautolu mo finangalo ke tāpuekina kitautolu ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau toutou ui ai kiate Iá.

Fakamatalaʻi ko e fakamatala ko ia ‘i he tohi ʻa ʻEta 1 te ne lava ʻo ʻomi kiate kitautolu ha ʻilo makehe ki he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate kitautolú pea mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku maʻu ʻi he lotú. Kole ki he kau akó ke nau toe fakamanatu fakalongolongo ʻa e ʻEta 1:34, 36, 38, kumi ʻa e meʻa naʻe kole ʻe Sēleti ki hono tokouá ke kole ʻi heʻene ngaahi lotú. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke hoko ko ha taha tohi ʻo lisi ʻa e ngaahi talí ʻi he palakipoé. Te ke lava ʻo fokotuʻu ke hiki ʻe tokotaha tohí ʻa e ngaahi tali ko ʻení ʻi lalo he ngaahi foʻi lea “tangi ki he Tamai Hēvaní” ʻi he tefitoʻi moʻoni kuo ke hiki he palakipoé.

Te ke lava ʻo fokotuʻu ki he kau akó ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e kupuʻi lea “tuku ke tau faitotonu ki he ʻEikí” ʻi he konga ki mui ʻo e ʻEta 1:38. Fakamamafaʻi ange ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻe he tōʻonga ʻa Sēleti mo hono tokouá ʻa ʻena tui mo e loto vēkeveke ke talangofua ki he ʻEikí. Naʻá na kole ʻi he tui ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki naʻá na fie maʻú.

Fakaafeʻi ʻa e kau akó ke nau fakamanatu fakalongolongo ʻa e ʻEta 1:35, 37, 40–42, kumi ʻa e ngaahi founga ne tāpuekina ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Sēletií mo hono tokouá mo hona fāmilí mo e kaungāmeʻá. Fekau ki he tokotaha ako ʻoku hoko ko e tokotaha tohí ke ne hiki ʻi he palakipoé ʻa e meʻa naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau akó ʻi lalo ʻi he foʻi lea ʻofa mamahíi ʻi he tefitoʻi moʻoni kuo mou hikí. Fakapapauʻi ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he kau akó ʻa e fekauʻaki ʻi he ngaahi kole ʻa e tokoua ʻo Sēletí pea mo e ngaahi tāpuaki naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻEikí.

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau leʻolahi ʻa e ʻEta 1:43 Kole ki he kalasí ke nau muimui he laukongá, kumi e ngaahi tāpuaki ne talaʻofa ʻe he ʻOtuá neongo naʻe ʻikai ke kole fakahangatonu ʻe he tokoua ʻo Sēletí ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ko iá.
