Ko e Vāvākovi ʻi he Kāingalotú mo e Puleʻanga ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití

ʻI he ʻaho 24 ʻo Siulai 1857, ne fakamanatua ai ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi mo ha Kāingalotu e taʻu 10 ʻenau tūʻuta ki he Teleʻa Sōlekí mo ʻenau maʻu ha fakamatala pau ki he ongoongo ki muʻa ʻe haʻu ha kautau ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití naʻe fekauʻi ʻe he puleʻanga ki Sōleki Siti. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kimuá, ne hoko e fetaʻemahinoʻaki mo e felotokehekeheʻaki ʻo fakalalahi ai e vā ʻo e Kāingalotú mo e kau ngāue fakapuleʻanga ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití. Ne loto e Kāingalotú ke puleʻi kinautolu ʻe ha kau taki te nau fili pea nau fakafisingaʻi ha niʻihi ne fili mai ʻe he puleʻangá ne ʻikai ke nau mahuʻingaʻia he tuʻunga moʻui tatau. Naʻe iku ia ke lau kinautolu ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo e kau ngāue fakapuleʻangá ko e kau fakafepaki ki he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití. Ne tuku atu ʻe Palesiteni Sēmisi Piukēnani ha kau tau ʻe toko 1,500 nai ka naʻe ʻikai fakangofua ki Sōleki Siti ke nau fakamālohiʻi ʻa e kakai ʻo Iutaá ke tali ʻa e kau ʻōfisa foʻoú taʻe ʻi ai ha fakangofua meí he Falealeá.

Kapau ko ha taha koe ʻo e Kāingalotú ʻi he taʻu 1857 pea naʻá ke fanongo ʻoku ʻi ai ha kautau tokolahi ʻoku nau ofi mai ki ho koló, ko e hā nai ha ngaahi meʻa naʻá ke mei hohaʻa ki ai? Manatuʻi ʻoku kei manatuʻi lelei pē ʻehe Kāingalotu tokolahi ʻa hono tuli fakamālohiʻi kinautolu mei ʻOhaiō, Mīsuli, pea mo ʻIlinoisí. Ko e tokolahi ai ne mole ʻenau ngaahi koloa mahuʻingá mo e kelekelé, pea ko e kau mēmipa ʻe niʻihi e Siasí ne tamateʻi pe nau mate tupu meí he ngaahi meʻa ne hoko fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fakatanga ko ʻení. Ne fakatupu ʻe he ongoongo ʻoe ʻamanaki aʻu atu ʻa e kau taú ha hohaʻa ʻe ala hoko ha faʻahinga meʻa pehē ʻi ʻIutā.

Ne fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni ʻIongi mo ha kau taki kehe ʻo e Siasí ʻi ha malanga naʻe fai, ʻo pehē ko e filí ʻa e kautau ʻoku haʻú. Ne toe fai ʻe Palesiteni ʻIongi e fakahinohino tatau ne ʻosi fai ki he Kāingalotú ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi ke fakahaofi ha kēleni koeʻuhí ke nau maʻu meʻatokoni mei ai kapau ʻe fie maʻu ke nau hola mei he kautaú. ʻI heʻene hoko ko e kōvana ʻo e Vahefonua ʻIutaá, naʻá ne toe fakahinohinoʻi e kautau fakavahefonuá ke nau teuteu ke maluʻi e vahefonuá. (Ko e kautaú ko ha kulupu ʻo ha kau tangataʻi fonua ʻe lava ke fokotuʻutuʻu kinautolu ki he ngaahi ngāue fakakautaú ʻi ha taimi fakatuʻupakeé.)

Naʻe hoko ha fepaki ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ha niʻihi ʻo e Kāingalotú mo e kau Mēmipa ʻo ha kau hikifonua fononga saliote.

Ne fononga fakahihifo ha kau hikifonua fononga salioté mei ʻĀkenisoa ki Kalefōnia ʻo fou atu ʻi ʻIutā lolotonga ko ia e teuteu ʻa e Kāingalotú ke maluʻi e vahefonuá mei he kautau ʻa e ʻIunaiteti Siteití. ʻI hoʻo lau ʻa e ngaahi palakalafi ko ení, laineʻi ʻa e ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻo e loto tāufehiʻa ʻi he niʻihi ʻo e kau mēmipa ʻo e kau fononga salioté mo ha niʻihi ʻo e Kāingalotú.

Ne ʻita ha niʻihi ʻo e kau fononga salioté ʻi he ʻikai ke fie fakatau ange ʻe he Kāingalotú kiate kinautolu e kēlení mo e ngaahi nāunau ne nau fuʻu fie maʻú, ʻa ia ne faleʻi ke fakahaofi ʻenau kēlení. Ne toe fepaki foki e kau hikifonuá mo e Kāingalotú ʻi he ʻikai ke nau loto ke kai mo inu ʻe he fanga hoosi mo e fanga pulu ʻa e kau fononga salioté e meʻatokoni mo e maʻuʻanga vai ne fie maʻu ʻe he Kāingalotú ki heʻenau fanga monumanú.

Ne hoko ha fekeʻikeʻi ʻi Sita Siti, ko e kolo fakaʻosi ia ne nofoʻi ʻi ʻIutā he hala ki Kalefōniá. Ne hoko ha feʻohofaki he vahaʻa e niʻihi ʻo e kau fononga salioté mo ha niʻihi ʻo e Kāingalotú. Ne fakamanamana ha niʻihi ʻo e kau fononga salioté te nau kau fakataha mo e kautau fakapuleʻanga ʻoku haʻú ke fakafepakiʻi e Kāingalotú. Neongo naʻe tafuluʻi ʻe he kapiteni ʻo e kau fononga salioté hono kaungā fonongá ʻi hono fai e ngaahi fakamanamana ko ʻení, ka naʻe lau ʻe he kau taki mo e kakai ne nofoʻi ʻa Sita Sití ko ha fili ʻa e kau hikifonuá. Ne mavahe e kau fononga salioté mei he koló hili pē ha houa ʻe taha mei heʻene tūʻuta atú, ka naʻe loto ha niʻihi ʻo e kau takí mo e kakai ʻo Sita Sití ke muimuiʻi mo tauteaʻi e kau tangata ne nau fakaʻitaʻi kinautolú.

Fakakaukau ki ha ngaahi taimi kuó ke vākovi mo ha taha kehe pe ha falukunga kakai. Lau ʻa e 3 Nīfai 12:25, ʻo kumi ki ha tefitoʻi moʻoni naʻe akoʻi ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi te ne lava ʻo tataki kitautolu he taimi ʻoku tau vākovi ai mo e niʻihi kehé.

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā hono ʻuhinga ʻo e “fakalelei vave mo ho filí”? Naʻe akoʻi ʻe ʻEletā Tēvita E. Soleniseni ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú ʻa e ʻuhinga e foʻi kupuʻi leá “ke fakaleleiʻi vave hotau faikehekehé, telia naʻa fakalalahi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hokó ʻo iku ki ha fakamamahi fakaesino pe fakaeloto pea fakapōpulaʻi kitautolu ʻe heʻetau ʻitá” (“Forgiveness Will Change Bitterness to Love,” Ensign pe Liahona, May 2003, 11).

Makatuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi akonaki ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he 3 Nīfai 12:25 mo e fakamatala ʻa ʻEletā Solenisení, ʻoku tau ako ai kapau te tau fakaleleiʻi e vākovi mo e niʻihi kehé ʻi he founga ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻe lava leva ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi meí he ngaahi ola fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e fakakikihí.

1. Tali ‘a e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ‘ení ‘i hoʻo tohinoa ako folofolá:

   1. ʻE tokoniʻi fēfē ʻe he tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻi he 3 Nīfai 12:25 e Kāingalotu ne loto-mamahi ki he kau mēmipa ʻo e kau fononga salioté?

   2. Kuo tokoniʻi fēfē nai koe ʻe he feinga ke fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi faikehekehé ʻi he founga ʻa e ʻEikí pe ko ha taha kehe ke fakaʻehiʻehi ai meí he ngaahi ola fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e fakakikihí?

Koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai ke fakaleleiʻi ʻe he niʻihi ʻo e kau nofo ʻi Sita Sití ʻa ʻenau vākovi mo e kau hikifonuá ʻi he founga ʻa e ʻEikí, naʻe kovi ange ʻa e meʻa naʻe hokó. ʻI he hoko atu hoʻo akó, fakakaukau ki he ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e ngāue ʻitá pe loto sāuní.

Ne kole ʻe ʻAisake Haiti ko e pulekolo ʻo Sita Sití, ko ha mēsia he kautaú, mo ha palesiteni fakasiteiki, ha ngofua meí he pule ʻo e kautaú, ʻa ia ne nau nofo ofi mai ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻo Palouení, ke ui mai e kautaú ke fakafepakiʻi e kau angatuuʻu mei he kau fononga salioté. Ne faleʻi ʻe he taki fakakautau ko Viliami Teimí ʻa ʻAisake Haiti ke tukunoaʻi pē e fakamanamana ia ʻa e kau hikifonuá. Ne ʻikai ke muimui ʻa ʻAisake Haiti ia mo ha kau taki kehe ʻo Sita Siti ki he faleʻi ko ʻení pea nau loto ke fakaʻaiʻai ha kau ʻInitia ʻi he feituʻu ko iá ke ʻohofi e kau fononga salioté pea kaihaʻasi ʻenau fanga pulú ko ha founga ia ke tauteaʻi ai e kau hikifonuá. Ne kole ʻe ʻAisake Haiti kia Sione D. Lī ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí pea ko ha mēsia he kautaú ke taki e ʻohofí, pea naʻá na faʻufaʻu ke tukuakiʻi e kau ʻInitiá ki he meʻa ne hokó.

Ko e hā e meʻa naʻe totonu ke fai ʻe he kau taki ʻo e Kolo Sita Sití he taimi ne faleʻi ai kinautolu ʻe Viliami Teimi ke ʻoua te nau fakaʻaongaʻi e kautaú? Ko e hā ne iku ʻo nau fai ʻi hono fakafisingaʻi ʻo e faleʻí?

Ko ha tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻe taha ʻoku tau ako meí he sīpinga ʻa e kau taki ʻo Sita Sití ʻa e kapau te tau taʻetokanga ki he faleʻi ke fai e meʻa ʻoku totonú,ʻe lahi leva ʻetau fakahehema ke fai ha ngaahi fili hala. Fakasio ki ha fakamoʻoni ʻo e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení ʻi he hokohoko atu hoʻo ako fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi ngāue ʻa e kau taki ko ʻení. ʻI hoʻo lau ʻa e ngaahi palakalafi ko ʻení, laineʻi ʻa e ngaahi founga ne hokohoko atu ai hono fakahoko ʻe he kau taki ʻo Sita Sití ha ngaahi fili hala hili ʻenau tukunoaʻi ʻa e faleʻi ne nau maʻú.

Ne tukuatu ʻe ʻAisake Haiti e palani ke fai hono ʻohofi ʻo e kau fononga salioté ki ha fakataha alēlea ʻo ha kau taki fakalotofonua ʻi he Siasí, koló, mo e kautaú. Ne ʻi ai ha kau mēmipa ʻe niʻihi ʻo e fakataha alēleá ne ʻikai ke nau loto moʻoni ki he palaní pea fehuʻi kia Haiti pe naʻe ʻosi talatalaifale mo Palesiteni ʻIongi fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni. Naʻá ne talaange ne teʻeki ai, pea loto leva ʻa Haiti ke ʻave ha talafekau ko Sēmisi Hasilami ki Sōleki Siti mo ha tohi ʻo fakamatalaʻi ai e tūkungá mo ʻeke e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke faí. Neongo ia, ʻe uike ʻe taha e fononga vave mo hokohoko he hōsí ʻa e talafekaú ke aʻu ki Sōleki Sití pea toe foki mo ha fakahinohino meia Palesiteni ʻIongi, he ʻoku maile ʻe 250 [meimei kilomita 400] mei Sita Siti ki Sōleki Siti.

Ki muʻa siʻi pē pea ʻave ʻe ʻAisake Haiti ʻene tohí ki he talafekaú, ne ʻohofi ʻe Sione D. Lī mo ha kau ʻInitia e nofo kemi ʻa e kau hikifonuá ʻi ha feituʻu ne ui ko e Moʻunga Mētoú. Ne takimuʻa ʻe Lī e ʻohofí ka naʻe fakapuli ia ʻoua naʻa ʻilo pe ko hai ia ke pehē pē ko e kau ʻInitia ne nau fai e ʻohofí. Ne mate pe lavea ha niʻihi ʻo e kau hikifonuá, ka naʻe tau e toengá mo e niʻihi ne nau ʻohofi kinautolú ʻo fakamālohiʻi ʻa Lī mo e kau ʻInitiá ke holomui. Ne vave hono fokotuʻutuʻu fakafuopotopoto ʻe he kau hikifonuá ʻenau ngaahi salioté, pe ko ha ʻā ko ha maluʻi. Ne toe fai mo ha ʻohofi ʻe ua lolotonga ia e ʻohofi ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe nima ʻo e kau fononga salioté.

Ne ʻi ai ha taimi ne fakatokangaʻi ʻe he kautau mei Sita Sití ha ongo tangata hikifonua ʻokú na ʻi tuʻa he ʻā ʻo e ngaahi salioté. Ne fanaʻi kinaua ʻe he kau taú ʻo mate ai ha toko taha.

Kapau naʻe fakaʻatā e kau hikifonuá ke nau aʻu ki Kalefónia, ʻe mafola e ongoongó ko e Kāingalotú ne nau ʻohofi e kau fononga salioté. Ne manavasiʻi e kau faʻufaʻu ke fai e ʻohofí ʻe ʻomi ʻe he ongoongo ko ʻení ha nunuʻa kovi kiate kinautolu mo honau kakaí.

Ne faʻufaʻu mo fakahoko ʻe ha Kāingalotu ʻe niʻihi e Fakapō Fakatokolahi ʻi he Moʻunga Mētoú?

Ne fili ʻa e Kāingalotu ne kau ʻi hono ʻohofi ʻo e kau hikifonuá ke fūfuuʻi ʻenau angahalá. Ne palani ʻe ʻAisake Haiti, Sione D.

Hili ha ʻaho ʻe ua mei he fakapō fakatokolahí, ne tūʻuta hake ʻa Sēmisi Hasilami ki Sita Siti mo e tali ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongí, ʻo fakahinohinoʻi e kau taki fakalotofonuá ke fakaʻatā e kau fononga salioté ke nau ʻalu melino pē. “ʻI he taimi naʻe lau ai ʻe Haiti e ngaahi lea ʻa ʻIongí, naʻá ne tangi ʻo hangē ha kiʻi tamasiʻí pea ko e lea pē ʻeni naʻe lava ʻo ongo maí, ‘Kuo fuʻu tōmui, kuo fuʻu tōmui’” (Richard E.
