Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Sipenisā W.

Kuo fanongonongo ʻe he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ko e “fāmilí ko e uho ia ʻo e palani ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ki he ikuʻanga taʻengata ʻo ʻEne fānaú.”7 ʻOku fakapapauʻi mai ʻe he folofolá, “Ko ia [ʻe] tuku ange ai ʻe ha tangata ʻa ʻene tamaí mo ʻene faʻeé, pea te ne pīkitai ki hono uaifí” (Mōsese 3:24).

ʻI he taimi ʻoku fakatefito ai ʻe he uaifí mo e husepānití hona vā fetuʻutakí ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻe fakalakalaka ʻena nofo-malí mo ʻena moʻui fakatāutahá. ʻOku totonu ke lotu fakataha ʻa e ongomeʻa malí he pongipongi mo e efiafi, ako e folofolá, pea fakahoko ha efiafi fakafāmili ʻi ʻapi fakauike.

ʻOku akoʻi ʻe he ongoongoleleí ʻa e niʻihi fakafoʻituituí ke ʻofa mo fetokoniʻaki pea ke “fefuaʻaki ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi kavengá” (Mōsaia 18:8). ʻI he taimi ʻoku toʻo ai ʻe ha niʻihi fakafoʻituitui kiate kinautolu ʻa e huafa ʻo Kalaisí, ʻoku nau fuakava ke ʻofa ki he niʻihi kehé ʻi he founga ko ʻení. ʻOku hanga ʻe he ngaahi ʻulungāanga mo e ngaahi ngāue faka-Kalaisí ʻo lehilehiʻi mo fakamālohia e ngaahi vā fetuʻutaki ʻo e nofo-malí ʻi hono tauhi ʻe he ngaahi hoa-malí ʻenau ngaahi fuakavá.

Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Palesiteni Fausi ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi maʻuʻanga fiefia maʻongoʻonga tahá “ko hono maʻu e takaua mo e fiefia ʻi he ngaahi fua ʻo ha Tokotaha Māʻoniʻoni mo Faka-ʻOtuá. … Ko e taulá ʻa e taha faka-Laumālié.” Naʻá ne pehē: “ʻOku fakautuutu ʻa e vete malí koeʻuhí he ʻoku siʻisiʻi hono fakatupulaki e uouangatahá ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻoku hokó ʻa ia ʻoku maʻu mei he tāpuaki ʻo hono fakamāʻoniʻoniʻí ʻaki hono tauhi e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Hingikelī ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e angaʻofa ʻoku totonu ke fefakahaaʻiʻaki ʻe he uaifí mo e husepānití : “Kapau ʻe feinga ʻa e husepāniti mo e uaifi kotoa ke na fai maʻu pē ʻa e meʻa ʻe ala fai ke fakafiemālieʻi mo fakafiefiaʻi ai hono hoá, ʻe siʻisiʻi pe ʻe ʻikai pē hoko ha vete mali ia. He ʻikai toe ongona ʻa e fakakikihí. He ʻikai fai ha fetūkuaki. He ʻikai hoko ha lea ʻita. Ka ʻe fetongi ʻa e ngaohikoviá mo e angakoví ʻe he ʻofá mo e tokangá.”

Naʻe fakalotolahiʻi ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻa e houʻeiki tangata ʻi he Siasí ke nau tokoni ki he kakai fefiné ke nau fakahaaʻi mo fakatupulaki honau ngaahi talēnití mo e ngaahi mālohinga kehé ʻi heʻenau moʻuí: “Ko e kakai fefine ʻi heʻetau moʻuí … kuo fakakoloa ʻaki kinautolu ha ngaahi ʻulungāanga pau, ʻa ia ko ha ngaahi ʻulungāanga faka-ʻOtua, ʻoku tupu ai ʻenau lava ʻo tokoni ʻofa ki he kakai ʻoku nau feohí. Te tau lava ʻo poupouʻi ʻenau feinga ko iá ʻo kapau te tau ʻoange ha faingamālie ke nau fakatupulaki honau ngaahi talēnití mo e ngaahi ongo fakanatula ʻoku ʻi honau lotó. ʻI heʻema toulekeleká ni naʻe pehē ʻe hoku hoa ʻofeiná ʻi ha efiafi ʻe taha, “Naʻá ke tuku mai ke u tauʻatāina maʻu pē, pea naʻá ku ʻofa ai ʻiate koe ʻi hoʻo fai iá.’”26

Ko e faikaumeʻa ʻoku hoko kimuʻa he malí ʻoku toe mahuʻinga ange ia ʻi he hili ʻa e malí. ʻOku fetokoniʻaki ʻa e husepānití mo uaifí ke na talanoa ki he ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e moʻuí ʻi he taimi ʻokú na fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e fefakaʻapaʻapaʻakí, feangaʻofaʻakí, mo e feʻofaʻaki moʻoní. ʻOku uesia lahi ʻaupito ʻa e ngaahi vā fetuʻutakí ʻi he taimi ʻoku mole ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni. ʻOku fakatupu ʻe he ngaahi ngāue ʻofá mo e fakahaaʻi maʻu ai pē ʻo e ʻofá ha ngaahi haʻi mālohi mo tuʻuloa ʻi he vā ʻo e husepānití mo e uaifí.

Ko e Fiefia ʻi he Nofo-malí

ʻE ola lelei ʻa e nofo-malí ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻe he husepānití mo e uaifí ʻa e feʻofaʻakí mo e fefakahoungaʻiʻakí. Ko e meʻa mahuʻinga ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻoku fai ʻi he ʻofá, fakaʻatuʻí, mo e kaungāongoʻí. ʻI he taimi ʻoku maʻu ai ʻe he niʻihi fakafoʻituituí ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni, ʻoku nau ongoʻi longomoʻui pea fakaʻaiʻai ai kinautolu ke nau aʻu ki he tuʻunga māʻolunga taha te nau malavá. ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke ʻamanaki e husepānití mo e uaifí ʻe lelei maʻu pē e meʻa kotoa. Ka ʻo kapau te na feʻofaʻaki mo fefakaʻapaʻapaʻaki, te na maʻu ʻa e fiemālie lahi ʻi he nofo-malí. Hangē ko e meʻa ne lea ʻaki ʻe Palesiteni Fausí, [“ʻOku lava ke laka hake ʻi he liunga tahaafé ʻa e fiefia ʻi he nofo-malí mo e hoko ko ha mātuʻá ʻi ha toe faʻahinga fiefia kehe.”]27

ʻE maʻu ʻe he hoa-malí ʻa e fiefia lahi ʻi heʻenau moʻui ʻaki e ongoongoleleí, pīkitai ki he ngaahi akonaki kuo ueʻi fakalaumālie e kau taki ʻo e Siasí ke nau faí, pea fakaʻaongaʻi e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni mo e ngaahi taukei ʻo e vā fetuʻutaki ʻoku leleí. ʻE ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa.
