Kuo meimei taʻu ʻe ua ʻa hono kāpui hotau palanité ʻe ha mahaki fakaʻauha hangē ko e mahaki fakaʻauha ʻi he tohi tapú, pea neongo hono taʻofi ʻe he mahaki ko iá ʻa e meimei meʻa fakasōsiale kotoa pē, ka ʻoku mahino ne ʻikai ke taʻofi ai ʻa e fakamamahí, fetāʻakí, mo e fakamālohi fakapolitikalé—fakafonua pe fakatuʻapuleʻanga. Pea ʻoku ʻikai ngata aí, ka ʻoku tau kei fehangahangai pē mo e ngaahi faingataʻa fakasōsiale mo tukufakaholo tuʻuloá, ʻo kamata mei he tōlalo fakaʻekonōmiká aʻu ki hono maumauʻi e ʻātakaí mo e filifilimānako fakamatakalí mo ha ngaahi meʻa lahi ange.

ʻE ngali fakalotosiʻi ki hotau toʻu tupú e faʻahinga taimi faingataʻa mo fakapoʻuli ko iá, ʻa kinautolu ʻoku tau fakatuʻamelie mo fakafalala ki ai fekauʻaki mo hotau kahaʻú. ‘Oku pehē “ko e mālohi ʻo e toʻu tupú ko e maʻuʻanga tokoni mahuʻinga ia ki he māmaní fulipē.

Koeʻuhí ko hotau tūkunga lolotonga ʻi he māmaní, ʻoku mahino pē ʻa e hōloa e tuʻunga vēkeveke ʻo e kakai kei talavoú. Naʻe toki fokotuʻu ʻe Dr. Lola Sanitosi, ko ha palōfesa ʻi he ʻUnivēsiti Yale, ha kalasi ʻoku ui ko e “Saikolosiá mo e Moʻui ʻoku Leleí.” “ʻI he ʻuluaki taʻu ne fokotuʻu ai e kalasí, ne lesisita ki ai ʻa e meimei [vahe fā ʻe taha] ʻo e fānau ako [kotoa] ne nau ako BA.”³ Ne fanongo leva e kakai ʻe toko 64 milioná tupu ki heʻene polokalama ʻi he ʻinitanetí.

Ko ʻeku kole he ʻahó ni ki hotau toʻu tupú, mo kimoutolu mātuʻa mo e kakai lalahi ʻoku mou faleʻi kinautolú, ke mou kamata hoʻomou fekumi ki he fiefiá ʻaki haʻamou houngaʻia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻoku tau lolotonga maʻu mei he tokotaha ʻokú ne foaki ʻa e meʻa lelei kotoa pē.⁵ ʻI he taimi pē ʻoku fehuʻia ai ʻe he kakai tokolahi ʻi he māmaní ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi faingataʻa fekauʻaki mo e natula ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālié, ʻoku totonu ke tau tali ʻaki ʻa e “ongoongo fakafiefia”⁶ ʻa e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e misiona mo e pōpoaki ʻa e Fakamoʻui ʻo e māmaní, ʻa e founga mahuʻinga taha mo taʻengata ki hono fakatou maʻu mo fakahoko ʻa ia ʻoku leleí lolotonga ha taimi faingataʻa pehē.

Kuo pehē ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ko e toʻu tangata ko ʻeni ʻo e kakai kei talavoú ʻoku “lahi ange [honau] ivi tākiekina [ki he leleí] ʻi he māmaní ʻi ha toe toʻu tangata kimuʻa.”⁷ ʻOku totonu ke tau “hiva ʻaki ʻa e hiva ʻo ʻene ʻofa huhuʻí,”⁸ ka ʻe fie maʻu ki ai e mapuleʻi kitá—ʻa e “tuʻunga fakaākongá”—ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakafepakiʻi e ngaahi ʻulungaanga koví mo e tōʻonga fakatupu maumau te ne ala taʻofi ʻetau fakahaaʻi ki he kakaí ʻa e fiefia ʻo e fakamoʻui taʻengatá.

Ko ʻEne koloa mahuʻinga tahá koe.

Kuó Ne ʻoatu foki ha siasi ʻoku fakamālohia ai e ngaahi fāmilí ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié pea haʻi fakataha kinautolu ʻo taʻengata. ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi uooti mo e ngaahi kolo ʻe 31,000 tupu ʻa ia ʻoku fakatahataha mai ki ai ʻa e kakaí ʻo hiva, ʻaukai, mo fehūfiaʻaki mo foaki ʻenau koloá maʻá e masivá.

Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku matuʻaki faingataʻa moʻoni e ngaahi palopalema ʻoku fehangahangai mo ha faʻahinga ākonga pē ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ʻi hotau kuongá ni. ʻOku līʻoa ʻe he kau taki ʻo e Siasí ni ʻenau moʻuí ke fekumi ki he tataki ʻa e ʻEikí ke fakaleleiʻi e ngaahi faingataʻa ko ʻení. Kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku ʻikai fakaleleiʻi ke fiemālie ai e taha kotoa pē, mahalo ʻoku hoko ia ko e konga ʻo e ʻakau mafasia naʻe folofola ʻa Sīsū kuo pau ke tau fua kae lava ke tau muimui ʻiate Iá.¹² Koeʻuhí kuo pau ke ʻi ai e ngaahi taimi faingataʻa mo e ngaahi palopalema mafatukituki, ne talaʻofa ai ʻe he ʻOtuá te Ne tataki e kau palōfitá ʻaki ha pou ʻao ʻi he ʻahó mo ha pou afi ʻi he poʻulí, tataki e kau palōfitá, ʻomi ha vaʻa ukamea, fakaava ha matapā lausiʻi ʻoku fakatau ki ha hala fāsiʻi, pea hiliō aí te Ne ʻomi ʻa e mālohi ke tau ikunaʻi e fonongá.¹³

ʻI he taimi ne tautapa ai ʻa e taki lotu Siu ko Sailosí kia Sīsū ke fakamoʻui hono ʻofefine taʻu 12 ʻa ia ne teu mate pē ʻi honau ʻapí, ne kāpui ʻe he matangá ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻo fuʻu fuoloa peá ne haʻu ai ha tamaioʻeiki ki he tamai loto-hohaʻá ni ʻo pehē ange, “Kuo pekia ho ʻofefiné; ʻoua naʻa fakafiuʻi ʻa e ʻEikí.”

Pea naʻá ne moʻui. Pea ʻe pehē pē mo koe. “‘Oua te ke manavahē: ka ke tui pē.”
