Naʻe fononga lalo ʻa Uiliami Keleitoni ʻi he maile ʻe hiva fakaʻosí ki Nāvū. Ko e vaka naʻe folau ai mo hono kaungā fonongá naʻá ne ʻave kinautolu ʻi he Vaitafe Misisipí ki honau ʻapi foʻoú ka naʻe ʻikai ke aʻu ia ki Nāvū ʻi he pō ko iá. Kae hili ʻa e fononga uike ʻe 11, ʻi he maile ʻe 5000 mei hono ʻapi ʻi Peniuefami, ʻi ʻIngilaní, naʻe ʻikai ke toe faʻa-tatali ʻa Uiliami ia. Naʻá ne fāifeinga lalo atu mo ha niʻihi ʻo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ʻi he hengihengi havili ʻo e faʻahitaʻu momokó ʻo nau toki aʻu atu kimuʻa ʻi he hoʻatā, ʻo e ʻaho 24 ʻo Nōvema 1840. Ko ha taha ului pē ʻi ha taʻu ʻe tolu, ka kuo ʻosi fakamoʻoni ʻa Uiliami ki he uiuiʻi fakaepalōfita ʻo Siosefa Sāmita ʻi hono fonua tupuʻangá. Ka kuó ne loto-vēkeveke ʻeni ia ke feʻiloaki tonu mo e Palōfitá.
Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuó ne feʻiloaki mo Siosefa Sāmita mo ne vahevahe ʻa ʻene ngaahi fuofua ongó ʻi ha ngaahi tohi ki hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻi ʻIngilaní. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “Naʻe tokolahi hamau niʻihi naʻa mau fanongo ʻanepō kia Brother Siosefa [pea] naʻe fiefia homau lotó ke fanongo ki heʻene lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e puleʻangá.” Naʻá ne tohi ʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻo pehē, “Kapau naʻá ku haʻu mei ʻIngilaní ʻi he taumuʻa ke talanoa pē mo ia ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi, naʻe totonu ke feʻunga ʻānoa pē ia ʻi hoku ngaahi faingataʻá.”
Naʻe kamata ke fokotuʻutuʻu ʻe Uiliami ha maʻuʻanga moʻui mo hano ʻapi pea mo hono uaifi ko Luté, ʻa ia naʻe lolotonga tūʻulu ʻi heʻena pēpē fika uá ʻi he taimi naʻá na aʻu atu aí. Neongo ia, ko e ʻuluaki taʻu ʻo e fāmili Keleitoní ʻi honau ʻapi foʻoú naʻe faingataʻa. Naʻa nau fakatau ha konga kelekele ʻi he tafaʻaki fakahihifo ʻo e Vaitafe Misisipí, fehāngaaki mo Nāvū, ʻa ia naʻa nau feinga ke maʻu ai haʻanau moʻui ko ha kau ngoue. Naʻe ngāue foki ʻa Uiliami ko ha tokotaha tauhitohi ʻi ha ngāueʻanga ʻi ha kolo ʻi ʻIngilani pea naʻe ʻikai ke ne maʻu ʻa e poto pe sino mālohi ʻo ha taha ngoue. Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo uesia ʻene feingá ʻi he kovi ʻa e ngoué pea puke fuoloa ʻi he malēliá.
Naʻe tōlalo ʻi he liliu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ko ʻení, pea fai leva ʻe Uiliami ʻa e faleʻi ʻa e faifekau naʻá ne fakaului iá, ko Hiipa C. Kimipolo, ʻo hiki hono fāmilí ki he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e vaitafé, ki Nāvū, ʻi Tīsema 1841. Naʻe lolotonga hoko hano kaungā tokoni kimuʻa ʻi he kau palesitenisī fakamisiona ʻo e Misiona Pilitāniá ko Uiliami Lisiate, ko e sekelitali ʻa Siosefa Sāmita pea naʻá ne fiemaʻu ha tokoni sekelitali ʻe lava ʻo falala ki ai. Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo haʻu ʻa Hiipa ki ai ke lipooti ki he ʻōfisi ʻo Siosefá. ʻI he ʻōfisí, ʻi he ʻaho 9 ʻo Fēpueli 1842, naʻe loto ai ʻa Uiliami ke ne hoko ko ha sekelitali mo e tangata tohi ki he Palōfitá.
Sekelitali mo e Tangata Tohi
ʻI he taʻu ʻe ua mo e konga hono hokó, naʻe lava ʻa Uiliami Keleitoni ʻo ʻilo lelei lahi ange ki he moʻui fakafoʻituitui ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá pea ʻi he kakaí, ʻi ha toe faʻahinga taha. Naʻá ne feohi mo Siosefa ʻi he meimei ʻaho kotoa pea kau lahi ʻaupito ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakapisinisi, fakapolitikale, mo fakalotu ʻa Siosefá. Naʻe maʻu ʻe Uiliami ha faingamālie makehe ke ne sivisiviʻi ofi ʻa e ʻulungaanga ʻo Siosefá, kau ai mo ʻene ngaahi tōnounoú. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻo tatau mo ha toe faʻahinga taha ko ha tangata pē ʻa Siosefa, ka kia Uiliami, naʻe ʻikai ke mahuʻinga ʻa e ngaahi tōnounoú ia ʻa Siosefá ʻi he taimi naʻe fuatatau ai ki he ngaahi akonaki langaki moʻui kuo ʻomai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo fakafou Heʻene palōfitá. Makatuʻunga ʻi heʻena feohi ʻi Nāvuú, naʻe hoko ai ʻa Uiliami ko ha tokotaha ʻikai toe ufi ʻi hono taukapoʻi ʻo Siosefa Sāmitá.
ʻI heʻene ngāue fakasekelitalí, naʻe lekooti ai ʻe Uiliami Keleitoni ʻa e ngaahi fakahā mahuʻinga lahi tahá, ngaahi akonaki, mo e ngaahi malanga naʻe fai ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e taʻu fakaʻosi ʻe ua ʻo e moʻui ʻa e Palōfitá. Naʻá ne lekooti ʻa e ngaahi fakahinohino ʻa Siosefa ki hono papitaiso ʻo e kau pekiá pea mo e fakahā ki he mali taʻengatá mo e mali tokolahí, ʻa ia naʻá na fakatou hoko kimui ange ko ha konga ʻo e folofola ʻa e Kāingalotú. Naʻá ne toe hoko foki ko e taha ʻo e kau tangata tohi naʻa nau tauhi ha fakamatala ʻo e malanga ʻiloa taha ʻa Siosefa ʻoku ui ko e lea ʻa Kingi Fōletí. Naʻá ne fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e ngaahi akonaki ko ʻení ʻo laka ange ʻi ha toe meʻa pea naʻe mahino ki ai ʻa hono mahuʻinga ke fakatolonga kinautolú.
Naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ha fuʻu fiemaʻu vivili ke fakahoko ʻa e ʻilo fakalaumālié ki he Kāingalotú. Lolotonga ʻene ʻi Nāvuú naʻá ne toutou fakahoko ai ha malanga ongo ʻaupito mo vahevahe ha ngaahi akonaki mo ha ngaahi ouau ongo tatau, ʻi he ngaahi fakataha alēlea puleʻi mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. Naʻe ʻikai ke tuku atu ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ia ʻa e ngaahi akonaki ko ʻení ko ha fakahā fakaʻofisiale ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá ne faʻa fai kimuʻa ʻi heʻene ngāué, ka naʻe pipiki ʻa Uiliami Keleitoni ki he foʻi lea kotoa. Naʻá ne lekooti ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa e Palōfitá ʻi heʻene tohinoá pe ʻi he tohinoa naʻá ne tauhi maʻa Siosefá, pea naʻe ngāue ʻaki kimui ʻa e ngaahi fakamatala koʻení ko e fakavaʻe ki ha ngaahi vahe lahi ʻo e Tokēteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá.
Ngaahi Akonaki Mahuʻinga
Naʻe ʻi ai tonu ʻa Uiliami ʻi he taimi naʻe talanoa ai ʻa Siosefa Sāmita mo Paʻale P. Pālati ʻi he ʻaho 9 ʻo Fēpueli 1843, pea vahevahe mo ia ʻa e ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e founga ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻa e kau talafekau fakalangí meia Sētane mo ʻene kau ʻāngeló. Ko e ngaahi fakahinohinó ni naʻe fekauʻaki ia mo e ngaahi akonaki ki he temipalé naʻe vahevahe ʻe Siosefa mo e kau mēmipa ʻo e kulupu ʻo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻa naʻe falala ki aí, ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e ʻi ʻIngilani ʻa Paʻalé. Naʻe lekooti ʻe Uiliami ʻa e ngaahi fakahinohinó ʻi he tohinoa ʻa Siosefá, pea naʻe toki tali kimui ange ko e folofola ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 129.
ʻI he 2 ʻEpeleli, 1843, naʻe ʻaʻahi ai ʻa Siosefa ki ha konifelenisi fakasiteiki ʻi Leimasi, ʻIlinoisi, naʻe maile ʻe 20 ki he fakahahake ʻo Nāvuú. Ne kikiteʻi ʻe ha taki fakalotu ʻAmelika ko hono hingoá ko Uiliami Mila ʻe hoko ʻa e Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó. Naʻe toʻo ʻe Siosefa ʻa e meʻa ko ʻení ke fakapapauʻi ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Leimasí naʻe teʻeki ai ke fakahā mai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e taimi ʻo ʻEne hāʻele maí. Naʻe akoʻi foki ʻe Siosefa ko e ʻOtuá ko ha tokotaha ʻoku maʻu sino; pea ʻoku ʻi Hono ʻaó ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he kuohilí, lolotongá, mo e kahaʻú; pea ʻe tuʻuloa ʻetau ngaahi vā fetuʻutaki fakasōsialé ʻi he ngaahi taʻengatá. Naʻe hoko ʻa e lekooti ʻe Uiliami Keleitoni ʻa e ngaahi meʻa mahuʻinga ko ʻení ʻi heʻene tohinoa fakafoʻituituí ko ha fakavaʻe ki he fakamatala ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 130.
Ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 131 ʻoku meimei ko hano konga lahi ko ha ngaahi fakamatala nounou ia ʻi he tohinoa naʻe tauhi ʻe Uiliami Keleitoni ʻi he lolotonga ʻo Mē ʻo e 1843. Naʻe kau ʻi he ngaahi meʻá ni ha ngaahi akonaki fekauʻaki mo e mali taʻengatá ʻa ia naʻe fai mai ʻi Leimasi ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Penisimani mo Melisa Sionisoní ʻi he ʻaho 16 ʻo Meé. Naʻe ʻosi mali ʻa e ongomātuʻa Sionisoní ia ʻi he ʻAho Kilimasi ʻo e 1841, ka naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa ko ʻene taumuʻá ke ne fakahoko ʻena malí ʻo fakatatau mo e fono ʻa e ʻEikí. Naʻe fakakata ange pē ʻa Penisimani ʻo pehē he ʻikai ke ne toe mali ia tukukehe kapau ʻe ʻevaʻi ia ʻe Melisa. Ka ko e fakamātoato ʻa Siosefa. Naʻá ne akoʻi ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻa e kakai tangatá mo e fafine ke nau fakahoko ʻa e fuakava foʻou mo taʻengata ʻo e malí kae lava ke nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki fungani taha ʻa e ʻOtuá. Peá ne toki silaʻi leva ʻa Penisimani mo Melisa ki he taʻengatá.
Kia Uiliamí, ko hono lekooti ʻo e ngaahi lea fakaepalōfita ko ʻení naʻe ʻikai ko ha fatongia pē; he ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi faingamālie maʻongoʻonga taha ʻo ʻene moʻuí. Naʻá ne mālieʻia ʻi hono hanga ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻo ʻai ke vāofi ʻa e mamaʻo ʻo e māmani ko ʻení pea mo e maama ka hokó pea mo ʻai ke ongoʻi mo moʻoni ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻo ʻitānití. Ko e taimi naʻe fanongo ai ʻa e Kāingalotu Nāvuú ki he lea ʻa Siosefá, ko e lahi ʻo e ngaahi faingataʻa naʻa nau fehangahangai mo iá—ʻa e maté, puké, masivá, mo e fiekaiá—naʻe mōlia ia ʻi heʻenau nofo ʻamanaki ki he nofotuʻi taʻu ʻe afe ʻi he kahaʻú pea mo palōmesi ʻokú ne fakamaʻu ʻa e fāmilí mo e feohí ʻo lōloa ange ʻi he moʻui ko ení. Ko e fiefia ko ia ʻa Uiliami Keleitoni ʻi hono lekooti ʻo e ngaahi lea ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá kuo ʻi ai hano ʻaonga tuʻuloa ʻi he ngaahi akonaki ʻo e Siasí mo kei hoko atu ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he ʻahó ni.
