“Ko e Liliu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e Tohi Tapú,” Puipuituʻa ki he Ngaahi Fakahaá
Ko e Liliu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e Tohi Tapú
ʻI hono liliu ko ia ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he konga kimui ʻo e 1820 tupú, naʻe ʻilo lahi ange ai ki he hisitōlia ʻo e kau Leimaná mo e kau Nīfaí.
Naʻe tuʻolahi hono fakamahino ʻe he fakamatala ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná naʻe “lahi ʻa e ngaahi konga mahinongofua mo mahuʻinga” ʻo e Tohi Tapú kuo mole. ʻI he faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1830, hili ha ngaahi māhina siʻi mei hono pulusi ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, naʻe kamata leva ʻe Siosefa Sāmita hano liliu foʻou ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻo fakataumuʻa ke toe fakafoki mai ʻa e ngaahi konga mahinongofua mo mahuʻinga ko iá. Naʻe hanga ʻe he ngāué ni ʻo fakafepakiʻi ʻa e fakakaukau lolotonga ʻo e kuongá tokua ko e Tohi Tapú ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e folofola taʻe-ueʻia ʻa e ʻOtuá, hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻi he Tohi Tapu ʻa e Tuʻi ko Sēmisí naʻe fakaʻapaʻapaʻí.
Naʻe ʻikai ke fai ʻa e liliu ia ʻa Siosefá ʻi he founga angamahení. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe ia ʻa e fakalea faka-Kalisí mo e faka-Hepeluú pe ngaahi fakamāmá (lexicons) ke faʻu ʻaki ha tohi lea faka-Pilitānia foʻou. Ka naʻá ne fakaʻaongaʻi pē ʻa e Liliu ʻa e Tuʻi ko Sēmisí ʻo e Tohi Tapú ke ne kamata ai pea toki fai ki ai ʻa e ngaahi tānaki atú mo e ngaahi liliú, ʻi hono fakahinohinoʻi ia ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.
Neongo naʻe fai ʻe Siosefa ha fanga kiʻi fakatonutonu fakakalama lahi mo liliu ke fakaonopooni ha ngaahi lea, ka naʻe ʻikai ke fuʻu tokanga ia ki he ngaahi fakalelei fakatekinikale ko ʻení ʻi he taimi ko iá, he ko ʻene fakafoki mai, ʻi he fakahaá, ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni mahuʻinga naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi he Tohi Tapu lolotongá. Naʻe fakataipe ʻe he fai hisitōlia ko Maʻake Laimani Sitaké ko e liliu ʻo e “ngaahi fakakaukaú kae ʻikai ko e fakaleá.”
Naʻe ngāue faivelenga ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ʻi heʻene liliú, mei he faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1830 ʻo aʻu ki Siulai 1833. Naʻá ne lau ʻa e ngāué ni ko ha tuʻutuʻuni fakalangi, ʻo ui ia ko ha “konga ʻo hoku uiuiʻí.” Neongo naʻe ʻi ai e ngaahi konga naʻe paaki ʻi he pulusinga ʻa e Siasí kimuʻa ʻi he mate ʻa Siosefá, naʻe ʻikai ke pulusi kakato hono liliu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e Tohi Tapú ʻi he lolotonga ʻo ʻene kei moʻuí.
ʻIkai ko ia pē, ka ʻoku mahino ʻa e lahi ʻo e ngāue naʻe fai ʻe he Palōfitá ʻi he ngāue ko iá ʻi he ngaahi peesi ʻo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá; he naʻe hoko ʻa ngāue liliú ko e tokoni fakahangatonu ki he ngaahi fakahā lahi naʻe ʻi he tohi ko iá, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻi ai ha vahe ʻe hongofulu tupu naʻe tupu fakahangatonu mei hono fai ʻo e liliú pe ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi fakahinohino kia Siosefa mo ha niʻihi kehe fekauʻaki mo ia.
Ko e Founga ʻo e Liliú
ʻI he lolotonga hono paaki ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he fale paaki ʻo E. B. Kulenitiní ʻi ʻOkatopa 1829, naʻe fakatau ai ʻe ʻŌliva Kautele meia Kulenitini ʻa e Tohi Tapu ʻa e Tuʻi ko Sēmisí ʻa ia naʻe ngāue ʻaki ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻi he liliú.
ʻI Sune ʻo e 1830, naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Siosefa ha fakahā naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi ko e “ngaahi meʻa-hā-mai ʻa Mōsesé.” Mahalo naʻe hoko ʻa e fakahā ko ʻení ko ha tokoni lahi ki he ngāue ʻa Siosefa ki he liliú. ʻOku ʻasi ʻa e fakahā ko ʻení ko e vahe ʻuluaki ia ʻo e tohi ʻa Mōsesé ʻi he Mataʻitofe Mahuʻingá. Ko e fuofua liliu ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻo kamata ʻia Sēnesi 1 (taimí ni ʻi he Mōsese 2), naʻe fakahoko ia ʻi Hāmoni, ʻi Penisilivēnia, ʻi ha māhina nai ʻe taha kimui, ʻo hoko ai ʻa ʻŌliva Kautele mo Sione Uitemā ko e ongo tangata tohi. Hili pē ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻe fakahinohino ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi ha fakahā ki he uaifi ʻo Siosefá, ʻEma Heili Sāmita, ke hoko ko e tokotaha tohi ʻa Siosefa ki he liliú, ʻa ia naʻá ne fakahoko ʻi ha kiʻi taimi nounou. ʻI he ngaahi māhina siʻi hono hokó, naʻe hoko atu ʻa e liliú ʻi he tohi ʻa Sēnesí.
ʻI Tīsema ʻo e taʻu ko iá, hili hono papitaiso ʻo Sitenei Likitoni ʻi ʻOhaiō pea fononga ki Feieti, ʻi Niu ʻIoke ke feʻiloaki mo e taki ʻo ʻene tui fakalotu foʻoú, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ha fakahā ʻo fakahinohino ʻa Sitenei Likitoni ke ne hoko ko ʻene tangata tohi: “Ke ke tohi maʻana & pea ʻe foaki ʻa e ngaahi folofolá, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻi hoku fatafata ʻoʻokú, ki hono fakamoʻuiʻi ʻo hoku kakai filí.”
Naʻe kamata leva ʻa Likitoni ke hoko ko e tangata tohi, pea taimi nounou pē mei heʻene lekooti mo Siosefa ʻa e talanoa ʻo ʻĪnoké, naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻa Siosefa ke taʻofi ʻa e liliú ʻi ha kiʻi taimi pea ʻave ʻa e Siasí ki ʻOhaiō. Naʻá ne fai ia, pea hili pē ha taimi nounou mei heʻene maau atu ki Ketilaní, naʻe toe hoko leva ʻa e liliú ko e taha ʻo hono ngaahi tefitoʻi fatongiá. ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo Fēpueli 1831, naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Siosefa ha fakahā ʻo fakainohinoʻi ange ke langa ha ʻapi ʻe lava ke “nofo ai & fai e liliú.” ʻI he ʻosi ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, kuo fakafakapapauʻi ange ʻe ha fakahā kia Siosefa ʻe fakatatau mo ʻene kolé, “ʻe foaki kiate ia ʻa e folofolá.”
Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 45
Naʻe nofo taha ʻa e fuofua ngāue liliú ʻi he fakamatala ʻo e tohi Sēnesí, ka naʻe liliu vave pē ʻe ha fakahā ʻi he ʻaho 7 ʻo Māʻasi 1831, ʻa e taumuʻa ʻa Siosefá. ʻI he fakahā kuo tali fakaʻofisiale ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 45, naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ai ʻa Siosefa ke tuku fakatatali ʻa e Fuakava Motuʻá ʻi ha kiʻi taimi kae tokanga ki he liliu ʻo e Fuakava Foʻoú.
Naʻe talaange ki ai, “ʻOku ou tuku kiate kimoutolu ke mou Liliu ia ʻi he taimí ni, koeʻuhí ke lava ke teuteuʻi ʻa kimoutolu ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻe hokó. He ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku tatali ʻa e ngaahi fuʻu meʻa lalahi kiate kimoutolu.”
Fakatatau mo iá, naʻe kamata leva ʻa Siosefa mo Sitenei ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó ʻi he liliu ʻo e Fuakava Foʻoú. Naʻá na hoko atu ʻo aʻu ki heʻena mavahe ki Mīsuli ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá pea toe hoko atu ʻa e liliú ʻi he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlaú, hili e hiki ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma ʻi ha meimei maile ʻe 30 ki he fakatonga ʻo Ketilani ki Hailame, ʻŌhaiō, ke nofo ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Sione Sionisoní. Ko e konga ʻo e hiki ko ʻení, ko ha feinga ʻa Siosefa ke maʻu ha feituʻu “ke ngāue fiemālie mo lōngonoa ai ʻi he liliu ʻo e Tohi Tapú.” Naʻe manatuʻi kimui ange ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ko e konga lahi ʻo e taimi ko ʻení, ʻi he hili ʻo ʻene aʻu ki he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sionisoní, naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ia ʻi he teuteu ke hoko atu ʻene ngāue ki he liliú.
Naʻe toe hoko atu ai pē hono tokangaʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻa e Siasí mo malanga ʻi he feituʻú, pea ʻi Sānuali ʻo e 1832 naʻá ne maʻu ha fakahā ʻo fekauʻi ia ke toe tukutaha ʻa ʻene ngāué ki he liliú “kae ʻoua kuo ʻosi.” ʻI he lolotonga ʻo ʻene ngāue mo Sitenei Likitoni ʻi he ʻaho 16 ʻo Fēpuelí, naʻá na maʻu ai ha fakahā maʻongoʻonga ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sionisoní. Lolotonga ʻena ngāue ki he liliu ʻo e tohi ʻa Sioné, naʻe fakaiku ai ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻa e ongo tangatá ki ha vīsone ki he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo e nāunaú ʻa ia naʻe hoko ko e maʻuʻanga fakamatala ki he ngaahi tokāteline mahuʻinga ki he Siasi toki fokotuʻú. Ko e ʻaho ní, ʻoku tuʻu ʻa e vīsone ko iá ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 76.
Vahe 77 mo e 86
Ko e meʻa tatau pē foki, ʻoku ʻi ai ha fakamatala ʻo ha ngaahi potufolofola ʻi he tohi Fakahaá, ʻoku hoko ʻi he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 77, naʻe maʻu fakahangatonu ia mei he liliu ʻo e Tohi Tapú. ʻI he fōtunga ʻo e ngaahi fehuʻí mo e ngaahi talí, naʻe lau ai ia ko ha fakamatala fakalaumālie pea fakakau ʻi ha tohi fakahā ʻi he kamataʻangá.
Naʻe mavahe ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma mei he faama ʻa e fāmili Sionisoní ʻo foki ki Ketilani ʻi Sepitema 1832. ʻI he ngaahi māhina hono hokó, naʻe hoko atu ʻa Siosefa ʻo ngāue māteaki ʻi he liliú, pea tokoni ʻa Feletiliki G. Uiliamisi ʻi he taimi ko ʻení, ko ha tangata tohi. Naʻe maʻu ha toe fakahā ʻi Tīsema ko e tupu mei he liliú, ʻo ne fakamatalaʻi ʻi he taimi ko ʻení ʻa e tala fakatātā ki he uité mo e teá ʻoku maʻu ʻi he Mātiu 13. Ko e fakahaá, ʻoku hoko he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 86, ʻokú ne fokotuʻu mahino mai ko e kau maʻu lakanga fakataulaʻeiki ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní ko “ha fakamoʻui ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsilelí.”
ʻI Siulai ʻo e 1832, naʻe faitohi ai ʻa Siosefa kia W. W. Felipisi “kuo kakato ʻema ngāue ki he liliu ʻo e fuakava Foʻoú.”
Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “ʻNaʻe fakahā mai ha ngaahi meʻa fakaofo mo nāunauʻia,” peá ne toe pehē ʻokú na “fakahoko ha ngāue vave ʻi he tohi motuʻá pea ʻi he mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá, te ma lava ke fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻo fakatatau ki hono finangaló.”
Naʻe kei hoko atu pē ʻa e ngāue ki he liliu ʻo e Fuakava Motuʻá, pea naʻe lekooti ʻe Siosefa ʻi Sānuali ʻo e 1833 ko e “faʻahitaʻu momoko ko ʻení naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi pē ia ki he liiliu ʻo e ngaahi folofolá: ʻi he akoʻanga ʻo e kau palōfitá; mo e tangutu ʻi he ngaahi konifelenisí. Naʻá ku maʻu ha ngaahi faʻahitaʻu nāunauʻia ʻo e fakafoʻoú.” ʻI Māʻasi 1833, naʻe maʻu ai ʻe Siosefa ha fakahinohino, ko e taimi ʻe ʻosi ai ʻa e liliú, ʻoku totonu ke ne “hoko atu ke tokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻa e siasí.” Ko ia naʻá ne vilitaki fiefia atu.
Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 91
Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo aʻu mai ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ki ha konga ʻi heʻene Tohi Tapu ʻa e Tuʻi ko Sēmisí ʻoku hā ai ha ngaahi tohi ʻe 14 ʻoku ʻiloa ko e ʻApokelefá. Neongo ko e lahi taha ʻo e ngaahi Tohi Tapu ʻi he kuonga ʻo Siosefa Sāmitá naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi tohi ko ʻení, ka naʻe ʻi ai ha teke mālohi ʻi he taimi ko iá naʻá ne fehuʻia honau tuʻunga ko e folofolá. ʻI he fakafekiki ko ʻení, naʻe fiemaʻu ai ʻe Siosefa ke ne ʻiloʻi pe ʻoku totonu ke ne feinga ke liliu ʻa e ngaahi tohí peá ne ʻave leva ai ʻa e fehuʻí ki he ʻEikí. Ko hono olá ko ha fakahā ʻoku hoko he taimí ni ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 91, naʻá ne akoʻi ʻa Siosefa neongo “ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻoku tuʻu ai ʻa ia ʻoku moʻoni, pea kuo liliu totonu meimei hono kotoa—ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngahi meʻa lahi ʻoku tuʻu ʻi ai ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni, ʻa ia ko e ngaahi [fakaʻuhinga] ʻa e tangatá, ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ke liliu ʻa e ʻApokelefá.”
Naʻe tuku leva ʻa e konga ko iá, kae hoko atu ʻa Siosefa ʻo ngāue ki he liliu ʻo e Fuakava Motuʻá ʻi ha ngaahi toe māhina lahi ange, pea aʻu ki he ʻaho 2 ʻo Siulai 1833, naʻe ʻi ai ha tohi mei he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí (ʻa ia ko Siosefa Sāmita, Sitenei Likitoni, mo Feletiliki G. Uiliamisi) ʻi Ketilani ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Saioné naʻe lekooti ai “ko e ʻaho ní naʻe ʻosi ai ʻa e liliu ʻo e Folofolá, pea ʻoku mau fakafetaʻi ai ki heʻetau tamai fakalangí.”
Ko e Tukufakaholo ʻo e Liliú
Hili ʻo e pekia ʻa Siosefá, naʻe tauhi pē ʻe he uitoú, ʻa ʻEma, ʻa e ngaahi tatau ʻo e liliú, ʻa ē naʻe toki pulusi ʻi he 1867 ʻe he Siasi Fokotuʻu Foʻou (Reorganized) ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. Ki he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ni ʻo onopōní, ko e liliu ko ia ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá ʻoku maʻu ai ha ngaahi konga ʻo e Mataʻitofe Mahuʻingá (ko e tohi ʻa Mōsesé mo e Mātiu 24) pea maʻu mei ai ha ngaahi fakamatala ki he futinoutí ʻi he pulusinga ʻa e Siasí ʻo e Tohi Tapu ʻa e Tuʻi ko Sēmisí.
Ka naʻe toe ʻi ai foki ha ivi lahi ʻo e liliú ki he Siasí ʻi he anga ʻo ʻene fakafōtunga ʻa e kanotohi ʻo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá. ʻOku laka hake ʻi he vaeua ʻo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava lolotongá ko ha ngaahi fakahā naʻe maʻu ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e vahaʻa taimi taʻu ʻe tolu naʻe ngāue ai ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ki he liliu ʻo e Tohi Tapú. Naʻe maʻu ha ngaahi fakahā lahi ko ha tali fakahangatonu ki he ngaahi fehuʻi naʻe ueʻi ʻa Siosefa ke ne fai ʻi he tupulaki ʻene mahino ki he ongoongoleleí ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e feinga ke fakafoki mai ʻa e ngaahi konga mahinongofua mo mahuʻinga ʻo e Tohi Tapú.
