Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 34: Fakalahi ki he Puipuituʻa Fakahisitōliá

Ko ʻOasoni Pālatí ko e tokoua ia ʻo Paʻale P. Pālati. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe ʻOasoni ʻa ʻene feinga ke ʻunu ʻo ofi ki he ʻEikí ʻi heʻene kei talavoú: “Ne u faʻa ongoʻi mafasia lahi ʻi heʻeku mateuteu ki ha tuʻunga ʻi he kahaʻú; ka naʻe ʻikai pē ke u kamata fakamātoato ke fekumi ki he ʻEikí, kae ʻoua kuo aʻu ki he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ʻo e 1829. Naʻe kamata leva ke u lotu fakamātoato ʻaupito, ʻo fakatomala mei he angahala kotoa pē. ʻI he lōngonoa ʻo e poʻulí, lolotonga e mohe e niʻihi kehé ʻi honau piló, naʻá ku faʻa ʻalu ki ha feituʻu lilo ʻi he ngaahi loto ʻataʻatā longonoá pe feituʻu maomaonganoá, pea punou ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí, pea lotu ʻi ha ngaahi houa mo ha loto-mafesifesi mo e laumālie fakatomalá; ko ʻeku fakafiemālié mo fiefiá ʻeni. Ko e holi lahi taha ʻo hoku lotó ke fakahā mai ʻe he ʻEikí Hono finangalo ʻo kau kiate aú” (ʻi he The Orson Pratt Journals, comp. Elden J.

Naʻe ului ʻa ʻOasoni ki he moʻoní, hangē ko Paʻalé, pea naʻe papitaiso ia ʻi he ʻaho 19 ʻo Sepitema 1830, ʻi he hoko hono taʻu 19. Naʻá ne fononga leva ʻi ha maile ʻe 200 ke feʻiloaki mo e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi Feieti, Niu ʻIoke. Naʻá ne kole ke ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá kiate iá, pea naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e fakahā naʻe lekooti ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 34.

Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 34

Ko e uiuiʻi ʻa ʻOasoni Pālati ke ne malanga ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí

Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 34:10. “ʻE fai ia ʻi he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní”

Naʻe taʻu 19 ʻa ʻOasoni Pālati pea naʻá ne toki hoko pē ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí ʻi ha lau uike ʻi he taimi naʻe foaki ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e fakahā ne lekooti ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 34 ʻo fakafou ʻi he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá. Naʻe talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí kia ʻOasoni ʻi he fakahā ko ʻení te ne lava ʻo fakamoʻoni ʻaki ʻa e laumālie ʻo e kikité (vakai, T&F 34:10).

Hili ha ngaahi taʻu lahi mei ai, ʻi heʻene hoko ko ha ʻAposetolo ʻa e ʻEikí, naʻe lea ʻa ʻEletā ʻOasoni Pālati (1811–1881) kau ki he talaʻofa ko ia ʻo pehē: “‘Hiki hake ho leʻó ʻo kikite, pea ʻe foaki atu ia ʻe he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.’ Ko ha tuʻunga ʻeni ʻi he fakahaá ne hā ngali fuʻu lahi kiate au ke u teitei fakahoko, ka neongo iá naʻe ʻi ai ha fekau lelei ai ʻoku totonu ke u fai ia. Ne u faʻa fakakaukau ki he fakahā ko ʻení, pea kuó u faʻa fehuʻi ia ʻi hoku lotó—‘Kuó u fakahoko nai ʻa e fekau ko iá ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku totonu ke u faí? Kuó u fekumi fakamātoato nai ke u maʻu e meʻafoaki ʻo e kikité, kae lava ke u fakahoko ʻa e fie maʻu ʻo e langí?’ Pea ne u ongoʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ke fakahalaʻi au, koeʻuhí ko ʻeku fakapikopikó pea koeʻuhí ko e kihiʻi fakalaka siʻi kuó u fakahoko ʻi heʻene fekauʻaki mo e meʻafoaki māʻongoʻonga, mo fakalangi ko ʻení. Naʻe ʻikai pē ke u manako ke kikite ki he kakaí kae ʻoua kuo ueʻi au ʻe he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ke u fai ia” (“Discourse by Elder Orson Pratt,” Deseret News, Mar. 3, 1875, 68).

Naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi ʻe foaki mai ʻe he ʻEikí ha tokoni fakalangi ki he kotoa ʻo ʻEne fānaú ʻo fakafou ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻi heʻenau fekumi ke fakahoko honau uiuiʻí mo e fatongiá:

“ʻE tataki koe ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi he fakahā ʻo hangē pē ko ʻEne uiuiʻi koé.

“ʻOku hoko mai ʻa e talí ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. Te ke fie maʻu maʻu pē ʻa e tataki ko iá. Kuo pau ke ke moʻui taau, pea fakamaʻa koe ʻe he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí kae lava ke ke maʻu e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ko hoʻo takaua. Ko ia, ʻe makatuʻunga ʻi hoʻo talangofua ki he ngaahi fekaú, hoʻo holi ke fai Hono finangaló, pea mo hoʻo kole ʻi he tuí ʻa e malava ʻe he ʻEikí ke Ne tataki koé ʻi he tali ki hoʻo ngaahi lotú.

“ʻOku faʻa hoko mai ʻa e ngaahi talí ʻi hoʻo ako e folofolá. ʻOku maʻu ai ha ngaahi fakamatala ki he meʻa naʻe fai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi Heʻene ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi māmaní pea mo e fakahinohino kuó Ne fai ki Heʻene kau tamaioʻeikí. ʻOku ʻi ai e tokāteline ʻa ia ʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻi he taimi kotoa pē mo e tūkunga kotoa pē. ʻI hoʻo fakalaulauloto ki he folofolá te ne tataki koe ke ke fai ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi totonú ʻi he lotú.
