Ko e Fiefia ʻi Hono Huhuʻi ʻo e Kau Pekiá

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá ha tokāteline fakaofo kau ki he ouau toputapu ʻo e papitaisó. Ne hoko mai e maama ko iá he taimi ne akoʻi ai ʻe he ngaahi siasi faka-Kalisitiane kehé ʻoku puleʻi fakaʻaufuli mo taʻe toe leʻeia ʻe he maté ʻa e ikuʻanga ʻo e laumālié. Naʻa nau akoʻi ko e pale ʻo e papitaisó ko ha fiefia ʻoku ʻikai hano ngataʻanga ka ko e toengá ʻe fakamamahiʻi taʻengata, pea ʻikai ha toe ʻamanaki ki ha huhuʻi.

ʻOku fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ʻoku lava ke fakahoko ha papitaiso fakafofonga maʻá e kau pekiá ʻaki e mafai totonu ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, ke tauhi ai e angatonu ʻo ʻEne folofolá: “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fanauʻi ʻa e tangatá ʻi he vaí pea mo e Laumālié, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa hū ia ki he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.”¹ ʻOku lava ʻe he papitaiso fakafofonga ko ʻeni ʻoku fai ʻi he angaʻofá ʻo fai e ouau mahuʻingá ni maʻá e kau pekia kotoa pē ʻoku moʻui tāú ne ʻikai ke nau maʻu ia ʻi he moʻui fakamatelié.

Ko e tokāteline fakaofó ni ko ha fakamoʻoni ia ʻe taha ki he natula taʻe fakangatangata ʻo e Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻá Ne ʻai ke malava ʻo fakamoʻui e taha kotoa pē ʻoku fakatomalá. Naʻe ikunaʻi Heʻene Fakaleleí e maté, ʻo Ne fakaʻatā ai e kau pekia ʻoku nau moʻui tāú ke nau maʻu kotoa e ngaahi ouau fakafofonga ki he fakamoʻuí.

Ne pehē ʻe Siosefa Sāmita ʻi ha tohi ne fai he taʻu ʻe 150 kuohilí: “ʻOku maʻu ʻe he Kāingalotú e faingamālie ke papitaiso maʻa … honau kāinga kuo pekiá … kuo nau tali e ongoongoleleí ʻi he laumālié, ʻo fou atu … ʻiate kinautolu ne fakamafaiʻi ke malangaʻi ia kiate kinautolú.”² Naʻá ne pehē kimui ange, “Ko e Kāingalotu ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fai e ngāue maʻa honau kāinga kuo pekiá ʻoku tuʻu fakatuʻutāmaki ia ki honau fakamoʻuí.”³

Naʻe foaki ʻe he palōfita ko ʻIlaisiaá kia Siosefa Sāmita e ngaahi kī ʻo e ngāue fakafofongá ʻi he Temipale Ketilaní⁴ ke fakahoko ʻaki e talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí “te ne tō ʻi he loto ʻo e fānaú ʻa e ngaahi talaʻofa naʻe fai ki he ngaahi tamaí, pea ʻe liliu ʻa e loto ʻo e fānaú ki heʻenau ngaahi tamaí.”⁵

Kuo maʻu ʻeni ha mahino ki he anga ʻo e ngāue fakatemipalé mo e hisitōlia fakafāmili ʻoku poupou ki aí, makatuʻunga he fakahā kia Siosefa Sāmita mo e kau palōfita ne hoko mai aí. Ne fakamamafaʻi ʻe he palōfita kotoa pē talu meia Siosefa Sāmita ʻa e fie maʻu pau ke fai e ngaahi ouau kotoa pē maʻatautolu mo ʻetau ngaahi kui kuo pekiá.

Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Hauati W. Hanitā ʻo pehē:

[“Kuo pau ke tau fai e ngāue ouau fakatemipale ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻoku fie maʻu ki hotau hakeakiʻí; pea kuo pau ke tau fai mo e ngāue ʻoku fie maʻu maʻanautolu naʻe ʻikai ke nau maʻu ha faingamālie ʻi he moʻuí ni ke tali e ongoongoleleí. ʻOku sitepu ʻe ua hono fai e ngāue maʻá e niʻihi kehé: ʻuluakí, ko hono fakatotoloʻi e hisitōlia fakafāmilí ke fakapapauʻi ʻetau ngaahi kui totonú; pea ko hono uá, ko hono fai e ouau fakatemipalé ke ʻoange maʻanautolu e faingamālie tatau ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kakai moʻuí.

“ʻOku tokolahi ha kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ʻoku fakangatangata pē honau faingamālie ki he temipalé. ʻOku nau fai e lelei taha te nau lavá. ʻOku nau fai e fakatotolo ki he hisitōlia fakafāmilí kae fai ʻe ha niʻihi kehe e ouau fakatemipalé. ʻI he taimi tatau, ʻoku ʻi ai ha kāingalotu ʻoku nau fai e ngāue fakatemipalé kae ʻikai ke fai ha fakatotolo ki honau hisitōlia fakafāmili totonú.

“Kuó u ʻiloʻi ko kinautolu ko ia ʻoku nau fai e fakatotolo ʻi he hisitōlia fakafāmilí mo fai e ouau fakatemipalé ki he ngaahi hingoa ne nau maʻú, te nau maʻu ha fiefia makehe ʻi hono maʻu lōua e ongo konga ʻo e tāpuakí.”]⁶

ʻOku finangalo e Tamai Hēvaní ke tau maʻu lōua e ongo tāpuaki ʻo e ngāue fakafofonga mahuʻinga ko ʻení. Kuó Ne tataki ha niʻihi kehe ke fakahaaʻi mai kiate kitautolu e founga ke tau feʻunga aí. Ko hota fatongiá ke maʻu e ngaahi tāpuaki ko iá.

Ko ha taimi ʻaonga moʻoni haʻo fai ha ngāue ʻi he temipalé, ka ʻi hono fai ko ia e ngaahi ouau fakafofongá ki ha taha hoʻo ngaahi kuí, ʻe toe toputapu ange ai e taimi ʻi he temipalé mo ke maʻu ha ngaahi tāpuaki lahi ange. Naʻe fakahā ʻe he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, “Ko hotau tefitoʻi fatongiá ke kumi mo ʻiloʻi ʻetau ngaahi kui totonú.”⁷

ʻOku mou fie maʻu nai kakai kei talavou ha founga pau ke maluʻi ai hoʻomou moʻuí mei he mālohi ʻo e filí? Mou femoʻuekina ʻi he fakatotolo ki hoʻomou ngaahi kuí.

Ne fakaafeʻi e toʻu tupu ʻo e Misiona Lūsia Lositova-na-Tonú (Russia Rostov-na-Donu), ke nau takitaha fakahokohoko fakamotuʻalea ha ngaahi hingoa ʻe 2,000 pea ʻave ha hingoa ʻe taha mei honau fāmilí ke fai ki ai e ngaahi ouau ʻo e temipalé. Naʻe fakaafeʻi kinautolu ne nau lavaʻi e taumuʻá ni ke nau fai ha fononga lōloa ki he Temipale Kievi ʻIukuleiní. Ne vahevahe mai ʻe ha talavou ʻe taha ʻene aʻusiá: “Ne u fakamoleki ha taimi lahi he vaʻinga komipiutá. ʻI heʻeku kamata e fakahokohoko fakamotuʻaleá, ne ʻikai ke ʻi ai haku toe taimi vaʻinga.

ʻOku tokolahi ha Kāingalotu faivelenga ʻoku nau fai e fakatotolo ki honau fāmilí ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi e polokalama talifaki ʻo e FamilySearch ke fai e ngaahi ouau ʻo e ngāue fakafofongá maʻá e kau mēmipa honau fāmilí.

Naʻe papitaiso kei siʻi ʻa Sisitā Pelevini pea ko ia toko taha pē ʻi hono fāmilí ne kau ki he Siasí. Kuo kakato haʻane ngāue fakatohihohoko lahi ʻaupito. Ka naʻe fuʻu lahi ʻene ngaahi hingoa ke ngāue ki ai mo hono fāmilí.
