Ko e Mālohi, Fiefia, mo e ʻOfa ʻi hono Tauhi ʻo e Fuakavá

1.ʻOku fakamālohia, fakaivia, mo maluʻi kitautolu ʻi hono tauhi ʻo e ngaahi fuakavá.

Naʻe mamata ʻa Nīfai ʻi ha meʻa-hā-mai ki he ngaahi tāpuaki mahuʻinga ʻoku foaki ʻe he ʻEikí ki he kau tauhi fuakavá: “Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ko au, Nīfai, naʻá ku vakai ki he mālohi ʻo e Lami ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea naʻe tō ia … ki he kakai ʻo e fuakava ʻo e ʻEikí, … pea naʻe fakamahafu ʻa kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e māʻoniʻoní pea mo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he fuʻu nāunau lahi.”⁵

Ne u toki feʻiloaki mo haku kaumeʻa mamae foʻou. Ko ha fefine kei talavou naʻá ne fakamoʻoni ko e hili ʻene maʻu hono ʻenitaumeni fakatemipalé, naʻá ne ongoʻi kuo fakamālohia ia ʻaki e mālohi ke ne fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi naʻá ne faʻa fefaʻuhi mo ia he kuohilí.

ʻI heʻetau tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá, ʻoku tau maʻu ai foki e lototoʻa mo e mālohi ke tokoni ʻi heʻetau fefuaʻaki ʻa ʻetau ngaahi kavengá. Ne aʻusia ʻe ha tamasiʻi ʻa ha fefine loto mamahi ha ʻahiʻahi faingataʻa ʻo e moʻuí. Koeʻuhí ko ʻene falala ki hono ngaahi tokoua he Fineʻofá ʻoku nau tauhi ʻenau fuakavá, naʻá ne lototoʻa ai ke fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau ʻaukai mo lotua ʻene tamasiʻí. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe ha fefine ʻe taha peheange mai naʻá ne kole ke lotua tatau ia ʻe hono ngaahi tokouá. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kimuʻá, naʻe faingataʻaʻia ʻene tamasiʻí. Peheange mai naʻá ne fakaafeʻi kinautolu ke nau tokoniʻi hono fāmilí ʻi hono fuesia e kavengá ni. Naʻe folofola ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, “ʻI he meʻá ni ʻe ʻilo ai ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ko ʻeku kau ākonga ʻa kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻo kapau te mou feʻofaʻaki kiate kimoutolu.”⁶

ʻE kau fafine, ʻoku tau maʻu kotoa ha ngaahi kavenga ke fuesia mo vahevahe atu. Ko e fakaafe ke fefuaʻaki ʻetau ngaahi kavengá ko ha fakaafe ia ke tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá. ʻOku mahuʻingamālie ange he ʻahó ni ʻi ha toe taimi kimuʻa ʻa e faleʻi ʻa Lusi Meki Sāmita ki he fuofua kau Fineʻofá: “Kuo pau ke tau fefakahoungaʻiʻaki, fetokangaʻiʻaki, fefakafiemālieʻaki pea maʻu mo e ngaahi fakahinohino ko ē te tau lava ʻo nofo fakataha ai ʻi he langí.”⁷ Ko e tumutumu ʻeni ʻo e tauhi fuakavá mo e faiako ʻaʻahí!

ʻOku fakamanatu mai ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo e palōfita ko ʻAlamaá naʻe pau ke ne mafasia ʻi hono foha angatuʻú. Ka naʻe monūʻia ʻa ʻAlamā ke faitāpuekina ia ʻaki ha kāinga tauhi fuakava ʻi he ongoongoleleí ʻa ia naʻa nau ului moʻoni ki he ʻEikí pea kuo nau ʻilo ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e fefuaʻaki ʻo e ngaahi kavengá. ʻOku tau maheni mo e veesi ʻi he tohi ʻa Mōsaiá ʻoku fakamatala ki he fuʻu tui lahi ʻi hono lotua ʻe ʻAlamā hono fohá. Ka ʻoku pehē ʻe he fakamatalá naʻe “ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi lotu ʻa hono kakaí, kae ʻumaʻā foki ʻa e ngaahi lotu ʻa ʻene taimaioʻeiki ko ʻAlamaá.”⁸

ʻOku tau ʻilo ʻoku fiefia maʻu pē ʻa e ʻEikí “ʻi he laumālie ʻe toko taha ʻoku fakatomalá,”⁹ ka ʻoku mahulu ange ʻetau holi ke muimui ʻetau fānaú ki he faleʻi ʻa Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingí ke “kamata kei taimi pea mo talangofua maʻu pē” ʻi hono fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi fuakavá.¹⁰ Ne ʻikai fuʻu fuoloa mei heni hano ʻohake ha fehuʻi fakatupu fakakaukau mo fakamātoato moʻoni ʻi ha fakataha alēlea ʻa e kau taki lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo e ngaahi houalotú: ʻoku tau ʻamanaki moʻoni koā ʻe tauhi ʻe he fānau taʻu valú ʻenau ngaahi fuakavá? ʻI heʻemau fealēleaʻaki fakatahá, naʻe fokotuʻu ai ko e founga ʻe taha ke teuteuʻi ai e fānaú ke fakahoko mo tauhi ʻenau ngaahi fuakava ʻi he papitaisó, ko hono tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau ako ke fakahoko mo tauhi ha palōmesi faingofua.

ʻOku ʻatā ki he mātuʻa faivelengá ke ʻilo ʻa e founga lelei taha ke akoʻi ai ke feau e ngaahi fie maʻu ʻa ʻenau fānaú. ʻI he fekumi ʻa e mātuʻá mo ngāueʻi e fakahā fakatāutahá, fealēleaʻaki fakatahá, pea tokangaʻi mo akoʻi e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni faingofua ʻo e ongoongoleleí, te nau maʻu ai ʻa e mālohi ke fakamālohia mo maluʻi honau ngaahi fāmilí. ʻE lava ke tokoni foki ʻa e kau mēmipa kehe ʻo e fāmilí. Naʻe akoʻi kiate kimautolu ʻe heʻemau kui matātangatá ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo hono tauhi ʻo e ngaahi palōmesí ʻo fakafou ʻi ha hiva faingofua naʻe peheni: “Kimuʻa ke ke fai ha palōmesí, fakakaukau lelei ki hono mahuʻingá. Pea ʻi hoʻo fai iá, tohi tongi ia ʻi ho lotó. Tohi tongi ia ʻi ho lotó.” Naʻe akoʻi e kiʻi hiva ko iá ʻi he ʻofa, loto tui, mo e mālohi koeʻuhí he naʻe tohi tongi ʻe heʻemau Kuitangatá ʻene ngaahi palōmesí ʻi hono lotó.

ʻOku ou ʻilo ha faʻē poto ʻokú ne fakakau mai ʻene fānaú ʻi heʻene fāifeinga ke tauhi ʻene ngaahi fuakavá. ʻOkú ne fiefia ke fua e ngaahi kavenga ʻa e kaungāʻapí, kaungāmeʻá, mo e kāingalotu ʻo e uōtí—mo fakafiemālieʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku fie maʻu fakafiemālié. Naʻe ʻikai ko ha meʻa fakaʻohovale ia ʻa e toki haʻú ni ʻene tama fefine kei talavoú ʻo kole tokoni ke ne ʻilo ha founga ke fakafiemālieʻi lelei taha ai hono kaungāmeʻa ne toki mālōlō ʻene tamaí. Ko ha taimi lelei ia ke akoʻi ange ko ʻene holi ke fakafiemālieʻi hono kaungāmeʻá ko e founga ia ʻe taha ki hono tauhi ʻene fuakava ʻi he papitaisó. Te tau ʻamanaki fēfē ke fakahoko mo tauhi ʻe he fānaú e ngaahi fuakava fakatemipalé kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke tau ʻamanaki atu ke nau tauhi ʻenau ʻuluaki fuakavá— ʻenau fuakava ʻi he papitaisó?

Naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe ʻEletā Lisiate G. Sikoti, “Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi tāpuaki maʻongoʻonga taha ʻe lava ke tau foaki ki he māmaní, ko e mālohi ko ia ʻo ha ʻapi ʻoku fakatefito ʻia Kalaisí, ʻa ia ʻoku akoʻi ai ʻa e ongoongoleleí, tauhi ai e ngaahi fuakavá pea mahutafea ai e ʻofá.”¹¹ Ko e hā ha ngaahi founga te tau lava ʻo ʻai ha ʻapi pehē ke teuteuʻi ai ʻetau fānaú ke nau fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi fuakava fakatemipalé?

• Te tau lava ʻo ʻilo fakataha ki he ʻuhinga ke moʻui taau ke maʻu ha lekomeni temipalé.

Tau manatuʻi muʻa ʻa e fakakaukau ʻo e “leleí, lelei angé, mo e lelei tahá” ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau faiako aí.¹³ ʻOku lelei ke akoʻi ʻetau fānaú kau ki he temipalé. ʻOku lelei ange ke teuteuʻi mo ʻamanaki atu te nau fakahoko mo tauhi e ngaahi fuakavá. Ko e lelei tahá ke fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻi he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻoku tau pīkitai fiefia ki heʻetau ngaahi fuakava he papitaisó mo e temipalé! Kau fafine ʻoku tau fakatokangaʻi nai hotau fatongia mahuʻinga ʻi he ngāue ʻo e fakamoʻuí ʻi heʻetau lehilehiʻi, akoʻi, mo teuteuʻi ʻetau fānaú ke nau fakalakalaka atu ʻi he hala ʻo e fuakavá? ʻE hoko mai e mālohi ke fai peheé ʻi heʻetau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi mo tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá.

2. ʻOku mahuʻinga hono tauhi ʻo e ngaahi fuakavá ki he fiefia moʻoní.

Naʻe akonaki ʻa Palesiteni Tōmasi S.Monisoni ʻo pehē, “Kuo pau ke tau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fuakava toputapú, pea ko hono tauhi faivelenga kinautolú, ko e hala ia ki he fiefiá.”¹⁴ ʻOku tau lau ʻi he 2 Nīfaí, “Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē naʻa mau nofo ʻi he fiefia.”¹⁵ Kimuʻa ange ʻi he vahe tatau pē ʻoku tau ʻilo ai naʻe toki langa ʻe Nīfai mo hono kakaí ha temipale. Ko e moʻoni ko e kakai tauhi fuakava fiefia kinautolu! Pea ʻoku tau lau ʻi he tohi ʻa ʻAlamaá, “Kae vakai naʻe teʻeki ke ʻi ai ha taimi fakafiefia ange ʻi he kakai ʻo Nīfaí, talu mei he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Nīfaí, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Molonaí.”¹⁶ Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? ʻOku tau toe ʻilo ai ʻi ha veesi kimuʻa naʻa nau “tui faivelenga ʻi hono tauhi ʻo e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻEikí.”¹⁷ Ko e kakai tauhi fuakavá ko ha kakai tauhi fekau kinautolu!

ʻOku ou manako ʻi he folofola ʻoku pehē: “Pea ko ʻeni ʻi he fanongo ʻa e kakaí ki he ngaahi leá ni [ʻuhinga ia ki he ngaahi lea ʻoku nau fakamatalaʻi ʻa e fuakava ʻo e papitaisó], naʻa nau pasipasi honau nimá ʻi he fiefia, ʻo nau kaila: Ko e fakaʻamu ia ʻa homau lotó.”¹⁸ ʻOku ou saiʻia ʻi he holi honau lotó. Naʻa nau holi fiefia ke fakahoko mo tauhi ʻenau ngaahi fuakavá!

ʻI he Sāpate ʻe taha naʻe fakamatala fiefia ʻe ha fefine kei talavou, “Te u kai sākalamēnití he ʻahó ni!” Ko e fē taimi fakamuimuitaha ne tau fiefia ai ʻi he faingamālie ko iá? Pea ʻoku tau fakahaaʻi fēfē ia? ʻOku tau fai ʻeni ʻaki ʻetau manatu maʻu ai pē ki he Fakamoʻuí mo tauhi maʻu ai pē ʻEne ngaahi fekaú, ʻa ia ʻoku kau ai hono tauhi Hono ʻaho Sāpaté ke māʻoniʻoní. ʻOku tau fai ia ʻaki ʻetau manatu maʻu ai pē kiate Ia ʻi heʻetau fakahoko maʻu pē ʻetau ngaahi lotu fakatāutaha mo fakafāmilí, ako folofola fakaʻahó, mo e efiafi fakafāmili fakauiké. Pea ko e taimi pē ʻoku tau puputuʻu pe taʻe mahuʻingaʻia ai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa mahuʻingá ni, ʻoku tau fakatomala leva pea toe kamata foʻou.

ʻOku hanga ʻe hono fakahoko mo tauhi fiefia ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá ʻo ʻomi ha fakamoʻoni mo ha ʻuhinga ki he ngaahi ouau toputapu mahuʻinga mo fakahaofi ʻoku tau fie maʻú ke tau lava ai ʻo maʻu “ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku maʻu ʻe [he] Tamaí.”¹⁹ Naʻe lea ʻa Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi ko e ngaahi ouaú mo e ngaahi fuakavá ko e “ngaahi makamaile fakalaumālieʻia he taimi naʻá ne akonaki ai: “Ko e Kāingalotu ʻo e Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ko ha kakai ʻo e fuakava. Mei he ʻaho ʻo hotau papitaisó ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi makamaile fakalaumālie ʻo ʻetau moʻuí, ʻoku tau fakahoko ai ha ngaahi palōmesi ki he ʻOtuá pea ʻokú Ne fakahoko mai ha ngaahi talaʻofa kiate kitautolu. ʻOkú Ne tauhi maʻu pē ʻEne ngaahi talaʻofá ʻo fakafou mai Heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kuo fakamafaiʻí, ka ko e sivi mahuʻinga ia ʻo ʻetau moʻuí ke vakai pe te tau fakahoko mo tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakava mo Iá.”²⁰

3. ʻOku hanga ʻe hono tauhi ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá ʻo fakahaaʻi ʻetau ʻofa ki he Fakamoʻuí mo ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní.

ʻI he ngaahi ʻuhinga kotoa ʻoku totonu ke tau tōtōivi ai ʻi hono tauhi ʻetau fuakavá, ko e ʻuhinga ʻeni ʻoku mālohi ange ia he toengá kotoa—ko e ʻofá. ʻOku ongo moʻoni ki hoku lotó ha veesi ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá ʻi heʻetau fakakaukau ki he tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ʻofá. Ko hai ʻiate kitautolu ʻoku ʻikai ke ongo ki ai ʻa e talanoa fakafolofola ki he feʻofaʻaki ʻa Sēkope mo Lesielí. “Pea naʻe ngāue ʻa Sēkope ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu, ke ne maʻu ʻa Lesieli; pea naʻe tatau ia kiate ia mo e ʻaho siʻi pē, koeʻuhí ko ʻene ʻofa lahi kiate iá”?²¹ Ngaahi tokoua, ʻoku tau tauhi nai ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá ʻaki e faʻahinga ʻofa līʻoa mo mateaki pehē?

Ko e hā naʻe finangalo lelei ai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke Ne tauhi ʻEne fuakava mo e Tamaí pea fakahoko Hono misiona fakalangi ke fakalelei maʻá e ngaahi angahala ʻa e māmaní? Ko ʻEne ʻofa ia ki Heʻene Tamai Hēvaní mo ʻEne ʻofa kiate kitautolú. Ko e hā e ʻuhinga naʻe finangalo lelei ai ʻa e Tamaí ke fakaʻatā Hono ʻAlo pē ʻe Taha Naʻe Fakatupu mo haohaoá ke mamahi ʻo mahulu ia he meʻa ʻoku lava ke fakamatalaʻí, ke Ne fua e ngaahi angahalá, loto mamahi, mahamahakí, mo e ngaahi vaivai ʻa e māmaní mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai tuha mo e moʻui ní? ʻOku tau maʻu e talí ʻi he leá ni: “He naʻe ʻofa pehē ʻa e ʻOtuá ki māmani, naʻá ne foaki hono ʻAlo pē taha naʻe fakatupú.”²²

“Kapau ʻoku tau houngaʻia kakato ʻi he ngaahi tāpuaki lahi ʻoku tau maʻú ʻi he huhuʻi naʻe fai maʻatautolú, ʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe kole mai ʻe he ʻEikí meiate kitautolu te tau taʻe vēkeveke mo loto lelei ke fai.”²³ Fakatatau ki he lea ko ʻeni naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Siosefa Filitingi Sāmitá, ko hono tauhi ʻo e fuakavá ko e founga ia ʻe taha ke fakahaaʻi ai ʻetau ʻofa ki he Fakalelei taʻe- mafakamatalaʻi mo taʻe-fakangatangata ʻa hotau Fakamoʻuí mo e Huhuʻí pea mo e ʻofa haohaoa ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní.

Naʻe fokotuʻu mai ʻe ʻEletā Hōlani, “ʻOku ʻikai ke u fakapapauʻi pe ko e hā e meʻa te tau aʻusia ʻi he ʻAho ʻo e Fakamāú, ka te u mātuʻaki ʻohovale ʻo kapau he ʻikai fai mai kiate kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he fepōtalanoaʻaki ko iá ʻa e fehuʻi tonu ko ia ne fai ʻe Kalaisi kia Pitá: ‘Naʻá ke ʻofa ʻiate au?’”²⁴ ʻI he pōní ʻoku ou fakaafeʻi kitautolu takitaha ke tau vakavakaiʻi e lahi ʻetau ʻofa he Fakamoʻuí, ʻo fua ʻaki ia e founga ʻoku tau tauhi fiefia ai ʻetau ngaahi fuakavá. Naʻe folofola ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, “Ko ia ʻokú ne maʻu ʻeku ngaahi fekaú ʻo fai ki aí, ko ia ia ʻoku ʻofa kiate aú: pea ko ia ʻoku ʻofa kiate aú, ʻe ʻofa ʻa ʻeku Tamaí kiate ia, pea te u ʻofa mo au kiate ia, pea te u fakahā au kiate ia.”²⁵ Hono ʻikai lahi ʻetau fie maʻu kotoa ke hā maʻu pē ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻi heʻetau moʻui fakaʻahó!
