ʻE lava ke tau ongoʻi ʻa e ivi tākiekina ʻo e Tamai Hēvaní ʻi heʻetau moʻuí mo hotau ngaahi ʻapí ʻi he lotu fakatāutaha mo fakafāmilí.

Mei he Moʻui ʻa Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmitá

Naʻe hoko ʻa e lotú ko ha konga mahuʻinga ʻi he ʻapi naʻe tupu hake ai ʻa Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmitá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Naʻe tokanga e mēmipa takitaha ʻo homau fāmilí ki he lotu liló mo e lotu fakafāmilí. Ne u ako ʻo ʻilo kei siʻi ʻoku tali lotu mai ʻa e ʻEikí he naʻá Ne tali ʻeku ngaahi lotú pea fakamoʻoniʻi kiate au ʻi he ngaahi founga lahi ʻokú Ne tokanga mai.”¹

Naʻa mo e konga kimui ʻo e moʻui ʻa Palesiteni Sāmitá, naʻá ne manatu ʻofa ki hono akoʻi ia ʻe heʻene faʻeé, Sela Fā Sāmita, ke lotú:

“Naʻe akoʻi au ʻi he funga ʻo ha faʻē Siasi. Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi ʻuluaki meʻa ʻoku ou manatuʻí ko ʻene puke hoku nimá ʻo taki hake au ki ʻolunga. Naʻe ʻi ai e mohenga ʻe ua he lokí, ko e mohenga ʻo ʻeku ongomātuʻá, mo ha kiʻi mohenga ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá naʻe teke holo pē. ʻOku lava pē ke u manatuʻi ʻo hangē naʻe toki hoko pē ʻaneafí. ʻI heʻema aʻu ki ʻolungá, naʻá ne tūʻulutui hifo ʻi hoku kiʻi veʻe mohengá.

“Ko ha kiʻi lotu faingofua pē, ka … naʻe fakaava hake ʻe he lotu ko iá ʻa e ngaahi matapā ʻo e langí kiate au. Naʻe fakamafao mai ʻe he lotu ko iá ʻa e toʻukupu ʻo ʻeku Tamai ʻi hēvaní kiate au, he naʻe fakamatalaʻi mai ʻe heʻeku faʻeé hono ʻuhingá ke mahino ki ha tamasiʻi siʻi. Talu meí he ʻaho ko iá ʻo aʻu mai ki he taimí ni, neongo ne u fononga holo he maile ʻe taha miliona ʻi māmani ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e fānau kehe ʻa ʻetau Tamaí, ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō kotoa pē, ʻi he feituʻu pē ne u ʻi ai, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu ke mohé mo ʻeku tuʻu haké, ne u ongoʻi ʻa ʻeku ofi ki heʻeku Tamai Hēvaní. ʻOku ʻikai ke Ne mamaʻo.”²

Naʻe fakafalala ʻa Palesiteni Sāmita ʻi he lotú ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻene moʻuí, ʻo ʻikai ko ha founga pē ke ne ofi ange ai ki he ʻOtuá ka ke kole tokoni foki kiate Ia ʻi he taimi naʻe faingataʻaʻia aí. Ko e meʻa ʻeni naʻe hoko lolotonga haʻane kaukau tahi ʻi he ʻŌseni Pasifikí ʻi he matāfanga pē ʻo Kalefōniá:

“Naʻe lau ko ha tokotaha kakau lelei ʻaupito au pea naʻá ku fuʻu saiʻia ʻaupito he kakaú. Naʻe huʻa e tahí he ʻaho ko ʻení mo mālohi e peaú. ʻI heʻeku mavahe mei ʻuta ʻo kakau atu ki he lotó, naʻe tui mai e ngaahi fuʻu peau lalahí ʻo fasi ʻia au ʻou viku kotoa. Naʻá ku fakataumuʻá ki he ngaahi fuʻu peau naʻe aake mei muʻa he ngaahi peau naʻe fasí ke u fakatētē loufusi he aake ʻa e ngaahi foʻi peaú.

“Lolotonga ʻeku tokanga ke fai ʻení, naʻe haʻu ha fuʻu peau pea fasi ia ʻoku teʻeki ai ke u tuʻu lelei hili e fuʻu peau naʻe toki ʻosi atú. Ne maʻu au ʻe he peau hono uá ʻo ne ʻave au ki kilisitahi.

“Naʻá ku kole fakalongolongo pē ki heʻeku Tamai Hēvaní ke foaki mai ha ivi ke u aʻu ki he feituʻu ne u fakataumuʻa ki aí. ʻI hono ʻave atu au ʻo ofi ki he uafú, naʻá ku ala atu ʻo puke e taha ʻo e ngaahi fuʻu poú.

“Naʻe māmālie kae pau mo faingataʻa ʻaupito ʻeku feinga mai ki he matātahí ʻa ia naʻe mamaha feʻunga ai ke u luelue ai ki he ʻoneʻoné. ʻI heʻeku aʻu atu ki he ʻoneʻone māfaná, ne u tō hifo ki lalo he ne u helaʻia.

Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa Siaosi ʻAlipate Sāmitá

ʻOku tau lava ʻi he lotú ʻo fakataufolofola ai ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ʻo hangē pē ʻokú Ne ai tonú.

Ko ha tāpuaki fakaʻofoʻofa ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi he ngaahi taimi faingataʻa mo taʻepau ko ʻení ke ongoʻi pau ʻoku tataki kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá, ke maʻu ha tui moʻoni ki ha ʻOtua fakatāutaha ʻoku tokanga mai kiate kitautolu pea ʻoku fanongo mai mo tali ʻetau ngaahi lotú.⁴

ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kuo hilí … ne u fanongo ai ʻi hono leleakiʻi [ha] kiʻi tamasiʻi paea taʻu hiva ki he fale mahakí, pea ʻi hono siví, naʻe fie maʻu ke fai hano tafa ʻo ʻikai toe tatali. Naʻá ne nofo pē mo hano ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻi honau ʻapí. Naʻe akoʻi ia ʻe heʻene tamaí mo ʻene faʻeé (ʻi heʻena kei moʻuí) ke lotu; ko ia, ko e meʻa naʻá ne fie maʻu ʻi heʻene aʻu ki fale mahakí ke tokoniʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí.

Naʻe fakakaukau e kau toketaá ke nau talanoa ki he meʻa ʻe faí. ʻI hono teke atu ia ki he loki tafá, naʻá ne sio takai he kau neesi mo e kau toketā naʻa nau talanoa ki hono puké. Naʻá ne ʻilo naʻe lahi, pea ʻi heʻenau teuteu ke fai hono fakamohé, naʻá ne pehē ange ki hanau toko taha: “ ʻE Toketā, kimuʻa pea kamata e tafá, kātaki muʻa ʻo fai ha lotu maʻaku?”

Naʻe hangē ʻoku mā e toketaá, peá ne pehē ange, “He ʻikai ke u lava ʻo lotu maʻau.” Pea kole ange ʻa e tamasiʻí ki he kau toketā kehé, mo e tali tatau pē.

Faifai pea hoko ha meʻa fakaofo ʻaupito: naʻe pehē ange e kiʻi tamasiʻí, “Kapau he ʻikai ke mou lava ʻo lotu maʻaku, mou kātaki muʻa ʻo tatali kau fai pē ʻe au ʻeku lotú?”

Naʻa nau toʻo e tupenu kafú, peá ne tūʻulutui he tepile faiʻanga tafá, punou hono ʻulú peá ne pehē, “ ʻE Tamai Hēvani, ko ha tamasiʻi paea pē au. ʻOku ou fuʻu puke lahi. Fakamolemole muʻa ʻo ʻai ke u sai? Tāpuakiʻi e kau tangata ko ʻeni te nau fai e tafá ke tonu ʻenau ngāué. Kapau te ke ʻai ke u sai, te u feinga ke u tupu hake ʻo hoko ko ha tangata lelei. Mālō ʻe Tamai Hēvani Hoʻo ʻai au ke u saí.”

ʻI he ʻosi ʻene lotú, naʻá ne tokoto hifo. Naʻe fakatē loʻimata e kau toketaá mo e kau nēsí. Naʻá ne pehē ange leva, “Kuó u maau.”

Naʻe fakahoko e tafá. Naʻe fakafoki e kiʻi tamasiʻí ki hono lokí, pea ʻosi pē ai ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi naʻa nau fakaʻatā ia mei falemahaki, pea naʻá ne fakaakeake ai pē ke sai ʻaupito.

Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho mei ai, naʻe haʻu ha tangata naʻe fanongo he meʻa naʻe hokó ki he ʻōfisi ʻo e taha ʻo e kau toketā tafá ʻo pehē ange, “Fakamatala mai angé ki he tafa naʻá ke fai he ngaahi ʻaho siʻi kuo ʻosí—ʻa e tafa ʻo e kiʻi tamasiʻí.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he toketā tafá, “Kuo tokolahi ha fānau tangata kuó u tafa.”

Ne toe pehē atu e tangatá, “Naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he kiʻi tamasiʻi ko ʻení ha taha ke fai ha lotu maʻana.”

Ne lea fakamātoato atu ʻa e toketaá, “Naʻe ʻi ai, kae heiʻilo, ʻoku fuʻu toputapu ia ke u talanoa ki ai.”

Ne pehē ange e tangatá, “Toketā, kapau te ke talamai, te u fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ia; ʻoku ou fie fanongo ki ai.”

Naʻe fai leva ʻe he toketaá e talanoá ʻo hangē pē ko ʻeku fai atu hení, peá ne toe pehē: “Kuó u tafa ha kakai ʻe toko laungeau, ko e kakai tangata mo e kakai fefine naʻa nau pehē ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e tuí ke fakamoʻui kinautolu; ka ne teʻeki ai ha taimi kuó u ongoʻi ʻoku ʻi ai e ʻOtuá tālunga ʻeku tuʻu he tafaʻaki ʻo e kiʻi tamasiʻi ko iá.

Kapau te tau moʻui ʻo ofi ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní, ʻe ueʻi kitautolu ke tau ʻiloʻi e meʻa ke tau lotuá.

Naʻe kei talavou ʻeku tamaí pea naʻe [meimei] mole ʻene moʻuí ʻi he Vaitafe Polovó. … Naʻe ʻi Sōleki Siti ʻene tamaí, pea naʻá ne ongoʻi pē ke ʻalu ki ha loki naʻe tuku mavahe pē ki he lotú. Naʻá ne … tūʻulutui hifo … peá ne pehē, “Tamai Hēvani, ʻoku ou ongoʻi ʻoku ʻi ai e meʻa ʻoku hoko ki hoku fāmilí ʻi Polovo. ʻOkú Ke ʻafioʻi pē he ʻikai ke u lava ʻo ʻi ai mo kinautolu peá u toe ʻi heni. Tamai Hēvani, fakahaofi muʻa mo maluʻi kinautolu. …”

ʻI he taimi naʻá ne lotu aí, naʻe meimei ko e taimi pē ia naʻe tō ai ʻeku tamaí ki he loto vaitafé. Ko e taimi ʻeni ʻo e tāfeá. Naʻe ʻohifo ʻa e ʻakau mo e makamaka mei he teleʻá pea naʻe ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo fai ha meʻa. Naʻe sio ʻa kinautolu naʻe ofi atú ki heʻene faingataʻaʻiá, ka naʻe ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo aʻu ki ai.
