ʻOku fokotuʻu ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e kolo ko Nāvuú

Fakamanatu ange ki he kau akó naʻe tuli ʻa e Kāingalotú mei Mīsuli lolotonga e faʻahitaʻu momoko ʻo e 1838–39 lolotonga hono tuku pōpula ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ʻi he Fale Fakapōpula Lipetií.

ʻOkú ke pehē naʻe ongoʻi fēfē nai ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he taimi naʻe tuli ai kinautolu mei Mīsulí? (ʻE ala kau ʻi he ngaahi talí naʻe fifili ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he feituʻu ʻoku totonu ke nau ʻalu ki aí.)

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe hili hono tuli e Kāingalotú mei Mīsulí, naʻa nau maʻu e hūfangaʻanga ʻi Kuinisī, ʻIlinoisi, mo ha ngaahi tukui kolo iiki kehé. Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke kumi ʻa Kuinisī ʻi he Mape Fika 6 (“Ko e Hiki Fakahihifo ʻa e Siasí”) ʻi he konga ki he Ngaahi Mape ʻo e Hisitōlia ʻo e Siasí ʻi heʻenau folofolá. Naʻe fakahā ange kia Siosefa Sāmita mo hono kaungā nofo pōpulá ʻi he ʻaho 15 ʻo ʻEpeleli 1839, ʻe hiki kinautolu ki ha feituʻu kehe. ʻI he fononga ki he feituʻu foʻoú, naʻe fakangofua kinautolu ʻe honau kau leʻó ke hola, ʻi hono ʻiloʻi ʻa e taʻetotonu ʻo hono tauhi fuoloa kinautolú. ʻI ha uike nai ʻe taha mei ai, ne toe fakataha ʻa Siosefa Sāmita mo hono fāmilí ʻi Kuinisī. ʻI he fakahinohino ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá, naʻe fakatau mai ʻe he Siasí ʻa e kelekele ʻi he ongo tafaʻaki fakatouʻosi ʻo e Vaitafe Misisipí ʻi he fakatokelau ʻo Kuinisií. Ko e tafaʻaki fakahihifo ʻo e vaitafé ko e konga ia ʻo e Vahefonua ʻAiouaá, pea ko e tafaʻaki fakahahaké ko e konga ia ʻo e siteiti ko ʻIlinoisí. Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e hetikuota foʻou ʻo e Siasí ʻi he tafaʻaki ki ʻIlinoisí ʻi ha feituʻu naʻe ui ko Kōmesi, ʻa ia ne nau toe fakahingoa ko Nāvū.

Fakaafeʻi ʻa e ʻuluaki tokotaha ako faiakó ke haʻu ki muʻa pea akoʻi nounou ʻa e kalasí kau ki hono fokotuʻu ʻo Nāvuú.

Tokotaha ako Faiako Fika 1: ʻOku langa ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa Kōmesi, ʻIlinoisi, ʻo hoko ko Nāvū—ko ha feituʻu fakaʻofoʻofa

Hiki ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé: Ko e hā ha ngaahi tūkunga faingataʻa pe fakamamahi ʻi hoʻo moʻuí he taimí ni? ʻOange ha taimi ke fakalaulauloto ai e kau akó ki he fehuʻi ko ʻení.

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe liliu ʻe he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí e hingoa ʻo ha kiʻi feituʻu naʻe ui ko Kōmesí ko Nāvū, ʻa ia ko ha foʻi lea faka-Hepelū ʻoku ʻuhinga ko e fakaʻofoʻofa.

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau ʻa e fakamatala ko ʻeni ʻo e feituʻú ʻo hangē ko e taimi ne fuofua tūʻuta ki ai e Kāingalotú ʻi he 1839. Kole ki he kalasí ke fakafanongo pea fakalaulauloto pe ʻe fēfē ʻenau ongo ki he feituʻú.

ʻI he tūʻuta atu ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he feituʻu te nau ui ko Nāvuú, ko e konga lahi ʻo e kelekelé ko ha ano naʻe namua. Naʻe fetuku holo ʻe he namú ha mahaki naʻe ui ko e malēliá, ʻa ia naʻe fakatupu ai e mofi lahi mo e fakamokosia lahi pea lava ʻo mate ai. Naʻe maʻu ʻe he mahakí e tokolahi ʻo e Kāingalotú ʻo nau puke. Naʻe puke lahi ʻaupito ha niʻihi pea naʻa nau fuʻu faingataʻaʻia ʻo nau totolo holo pē ʻi heʻenau feinga ke fetokoniʻakí, pea mālōlō ha niʻihi. (Vakai, Church History in the Fulness of Times Student Manual, 2nd ed. [Church Educational System manual, 2003], 217–18.)

Naʻá ke mei ui nai ʻeni ko ha feituʻu fakaʻofoʻofa? ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ne fili ai ʻa e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ke ui ʻa e ano ko ʻení ko ha feituʻu fakaʻofoʻofá?

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau ʻa e ngaahi palakalafi ko ʻeni ʻo hono fakamatalaʻi e founga naʻe tali ʻaki ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa naʻa nau fehangahangai mo iá ʻi he feituʻu ʻe hoko ko honau ʻapi foʻoú.

Naʻe puke foki ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ʻi he malēliá, ka naʻe hili ha ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻo e mahamahakí, naʻá ne tuʻu hake ʻi he ʻaho 22 ʻo Siulai, 1839, pea naʻe fonu ʻi he Laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne tāpuakiʻi ha tokolahi ʻo e kau mahakí ofi ki hono ʻapí. ʻI ha meʻa ʻe taha, naʻe fakaofi atu ʻa Siosefa ki ha tēniti ʻo ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí ko hono hingoá ko Henelī G.

Naʻe kolosi ʻa Siosefa ki he tafaʻaki ʻAioua ʻo e vaitafé pea hokohoko atu hono tāpuakiʻi ʻo e mahakí. ʻI he teuteu ʻa Siosefa ke foki ki he tafaʻaki ʻIlinoisí, naʻe kole ʻe ha tangata ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai kau ki he Siasí ki he Palōfitá pe te ne tāpuakiʻi ʻa ʻene ongo kiʻi pēpē māhanga ʻi ha feituʻu ne maile nai ʻe ua hono mamaʻó mei ai. “Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa he ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo ʻalu, ka naʻá ne ʻoange kia Uilifooti Utalafi ha holoholo silika lanu kulokula ʻo talaange ke faingāue kiate kinaua, ʻo palōmesi ange ʻe fakamoʻui kinaua ʻi he taimi te ne holo ʻaki ia hona fofongá” (Church History in the Fulness of Times, 219). Naʻe muimui ʻa Uilifooti ki he fakahinohino ko ʻení, pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻa e ongo kiʻi tamaikí. Naʻe ui ʻe Uilifooti ʻa e ʻaho ko iá “ko ha ʻaho e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá” (Wilford Woodruff Journals, July 22, 1839, naʻe hā ʻi he Church History in the Fulness of Times, 218).

Neongo ʻa e tui mo e mālohi ʻo e ʻaho ko iá, naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e mahamahakí ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e Kāingalotú ʻi he ngaahi māhina hono hokó. Ka neongo ia, ne nau hokohoko atu ke fetokoniʻaki mo ngāue ke langa honau ʻapi foʻoú. Naʻa nau keli ha ngaahi luo ke fakatafe e vaí mei he anó ki he vaitafé, ʻa ia naʻe faingofua ange ai hono fakaʻaongaʻi e kelekelé pea fakasiʻisiʻi ʻa e palopalema ʻo e namú.

ʻOku tokoni fēfē e “ʻaho e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá” ʻi he ʻaho 22 ʻo Siulai, 1839, ke ke maʻu ai ha tui lahi ange ki he ʻEikí?

Tokotaha Ako Faiako Fika 2: ʻOku fokotuʻu ʻa e Fineʻofá

Fakatokangaʻi ange: Kimuʻa e kalasí, kole ki ha mēmipa ʻo e Fineʻofá (hangē ko ha mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí pe kaungāmeʻa) ke fakamatalaʻi atu fekauʻaki mo ha ngaahi founga kuo ʻoange ai ʻe he Fineʻofá ha ngaahi faingamālie ke kau ki he ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí pea kuo faitāpuekina ai ʻene moʻuí. Fakakaukau ke tohi hifo ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ke ako mei aí.

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke fakakaukau ki he kakai fefine ʻi he folofolá ʻoku nau saiʻia aí. Kole ange ke nau fakamatalaʻi ki ha hoa fekauʻaki mo e fefiné ni pea mo e ʻuhinga ʻoku nau saiʻia ai aí. Hili hono maʻu ʻe he hoa takitaha ha taimi ke aleaʻi iá, fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau fafine ʻi Nāvuú ha ivi lahi ki hono ʻunuakiʻi e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí ki muʻá.

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe fakataha ha kau fafine ʻi he 1842 ʻi Nāvū ke aleaʻi ha ngaahi founga te nau lava ai ʻo tokoni ki hono langa ʻo e Temipale Nāvuú. Naʻa nau fokotuʻu ha kautaha pea tohi ha konisitūtone mo ha ngaahi lao ke puleʻi ʻaki ʻenau ngāué. Naʻa nau fakahoko ʻenau konisitūtoné mo e ngaahi laó ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, pea naʻá ne pehē “ko e lelei taha ia kuó ne mamata aí.” Ka naʻá ne pehē leva naʻe maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí “ha meʻa lelei ange maʻanautolu ʻi ha konisitūtone kuo tohi.” Naʻá ne fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau fakataha ʻi he uike hono hokó, ʻi heʻene “fokotuʻu ai e kau fafiné ʻi he malumalu ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻo fakatatau mo e sīpinga ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí” (Sarah M.

Ko e houalotu ko ʻení ʻa e Fineʻofá.

Naʻe ui ʻa ʻEma Sāmita ke hoko ko e fuofua palesiteni lahi ʻo e Fineʻofá. Naʻe akonaki ʻa ʻĪlisa R.

Naʻe fakahā mai ʻe [he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá] naʻe ʻi ai ha kautaha pehē pē ʻi he siasi he kuonga muʻá” (“Female Relief Society,” Deseret News, Apr. 22, 1868, 1; vakai foki, Ngaahi ʻOfefine ʻi Hoku Puleʻangá, 8).

Ko e hā ʻoku tau lava ʻo ako kau ki he Fineʻofá mei he lea ʻa ʻĪlisa R. Sinoú? (ʻI he tali ʻa e kau akó, hiki e moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi he palakipoé: Ko e Fineʻofá ko ha tafaʻaki ueʻi fakalaumālie ia ʻo hono Fakafoki Mai ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.)
ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ke mahino kiate kitautolu ʻa e moʻoni ko ʻení?

Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke lau ʻa e lea ko ʻeni fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻo e Fineʻofá:

ʻOku mafola ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekaú he funga ʻo e māmaní

Fakamālō ki he ongo tamaiki ako naʻe faiakó. Ke teuteuʻi ʻa e kalasí ke ako fekauʻaki mo e tupulaki ʻa e Siasí lolotonga e vahaʻataimi ʻi Nāvuú, fai ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení:

Ko e hā ha ngaahi meʻa ʻe lava ke tamateʻi ʻaki ha afi?

Naʻe fakafehoanaki ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá ki ha afi. ʻOkú ke pehē naʻe hangē e ngaahi fakatanga naʻe aʻusia ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻi Mīsulí ha vai naʻe kamata ke ne tamateʻi e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá, pe hangē ko ha lolo naʻá ne tafunaki ia? Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?

Naʻá Ne fakahā foki ha meʻa lahi ange kau ki he natula ʻo e Toluʻi ʻOtuá (vakai, T&F 130:22). Naʻe tohi ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá mei he 1842 ki he 1844, ʻa e Ngaahi Tefito ʻo e Tuí pea pulusi e tohi ʻa ʻĒpalahamé, ʻa ia naʻe fakamahinoʻi ai e ngaahi potufolofola faingataʻa ʻi he ngaahi fakamatala fakafolofola kehé mo fakahā ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ʻilo kimuʻa pe ʻikai mahino leleí.

Naʻe lea ʻa Palesiteni Kōtoni B. Hingikelī ki ha fakalakalaka mahuʻinga ʻe taha naʻe hoko ʻo fakafekauʻaki mo e langa ʻo e Temipale Nāvuú:

“Ko e falé ni [ʻa e Temipale Nāvuú] ne fekauʻaki ia mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻo e taʻengatá. Naʻe pau ke tuʻu ia ko ha fakamoʻoni ki he taha kotoa pē ʻoku mamata ki aí naʻe maʻu ʻe kinautolu naʻa nau langa iá ha tui mālohi mo ha ʻilo pau ʻoku ʻikai ko e faʻitoká ʻa e ngataʻangá, ka ʻoku taʻe-faʻamate ʻa e laumālié pea hokohoko atu ʻene tupulakí. ʻI Māʻasi ʻo e taʻu naʻá ne mālōlō aí—1844—naʻe fakamahinoʻi ʻe he Palōfitá ʻa e tokāteline ko ʻení ʻi ha lea fakahisitōlia naʻá ne fai ʻi he vao ʻakau ʻi lalo hifo pē ʻi he tuʻuʻanga ʻo e temipalé.

ʻI he malanga ʻa Tuʻi Fōletí, ʻa ia naʻe fai ʻi he meʻafakaʻeiki ʻo ha tangata ko hono hingoá ko Tuʻi Fōleti, naʻe fakamatalaʻi ai ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá naʻa tau nofo mo e Tamai Hēvaní kimuʻa pea tau haʻu ki he māmaní pea naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ha ngaahi fono ke tau lava ai ʻo fakalakalaka:

Naʻe toe fakamatalaʻi foki ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa hotau tuʻunga ko e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá:

“Pea ko ʻeni ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá—ke ʻilo ʻa e ʻOtua poto mo moʻoni pē tahá; pea kuo pau ke mou ako ke mou hoko ko e ngaahi ʻotua, mo e ngaahi tuʻi pea mo e kau taulaʻeiki ki he ʻOtuá, … ʻaki haʻamou hiki mei he kihiʻi tuʻunga ʻe taha ki ha tuʻunga ʻe taha, pea mei ha kihiʻi fatongia siʻi ki ha meʻa ʻoku lahi ange; mei he ʻaloʻofa ki he ʻaloʻofa, mei he hākeakiʻi ki he hākeakiʻi, kae ʻoua kuo mou aʻusia ʻa e toetuʻu ʻo e maté, pea lava ke nofo ʻi he fiefia taʻengatá, mo nofo ʻi he nāunau, ʻo hangē ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he taloni ʻo e mālohi taʻengatá. …
