ʻOku kau he tulama ʻa Viliami Seikisipia ko e The Life of King Henry V  ha meʻa ne hoko ʻi ha pō ʻe taha ʻi ha ʻapitanga fakakautau ʻIngilani ʻi ʻAkinikooti kimuʻa pea nau tau mo e kau tau Falaniseé. Ne hāʻele atu ʻa e Tuʻi ko Henelií ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ʻene kau taú ʻoku ʻikai fuʻu maama pea kuó ne fakapuli ʻo ʻikai ke nau ʻilo ia. Naʻá ne talanoa mo kinautolu ʻo feinga ke ʻilo e tuʻunga loto falala ʻo ʻene kau tau tokosiʻí, pea ʻi he ʻikai ke nau ʻilo iá, ne nau fakamatala loto tauʻatāina. Ne nau talanoa pe ko hai ʻokú ne fatongia ʻaki e meʻa ʻoku hoko ki he kau tangatá he taú—ko e tuʻí pe ko e sōtia takitaha.

Ne pehē ʻe he Tuʻi ko Henelií, “ʻOku ou pehē he ʻikai ha feituʻu te u toe mate fiemālie ai ka ʻi he ngāue fakakautau ʻa e tuʻí; he ʻoku totonu ʻene taumuʻá.”

Ne tali mai ʻe Maikolo Viliami, “Ko ha fakakaukau foʻou ia.”

Ne toe pehē mai ha sōtia, “ʻIo, pe lahi ange ia he meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau ʻiló; kuo feʻunga ʻemau ʻilo ko e kakai kimautolu ʻa e tuʻí: kapau ʻoku hala ʻene taumuʻá, ʻoku ʻikai ke mau halaia he ko ʻemau talangofua pē ki he tuʻí.”

Ne toe tānaki atu ʻe Viliami, “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai lelei e taumuʻá, ko e tuʻí pē ʻokú ne fatongia ʻaki e ngaahi meʻa ne hokó.”

ʻOku ʻikai ha ofo ʻi he ʻikai tui ki ai ʻa e Tuʻi ko Henelií, “ʻOku ʻi ai e fatongia ʻo e taha kotoa ki he tuʻí; ka ʻoku takitaha fatongia ʻaki ʻe he taha kotoa hono laumālie pē ʻoʻoná.”¹

ʻOku ʻikai feinga ʻa Seikisipia ke fakaleleiʻi e fakakikihi he talanoá, ka ʻoku hokohoko atu e fakakikihí ni ʻi hotau taimí ʻi ha ngaahi founga kehekehe—ko hai ʻokú ne fatongia ʻaki e meʻa ʻoku hoko heʻetau moʻuí?

ʻOku fai e fakahehema he taimi ʻoku hoko ai ha koví ke tau tukuakiʻi e niʻihi kehé pea aʻu pē ki he ʻOtuá. ʻOku faʻa hoko mai mo e ongoʻi ʻoku ʻi ai ʻetau totonu ki ha meʻa, pea feinga leva ha niʻihi fakafoʻituitui pe kulupu ke hingaki e fatongia ki heʻenau leleí ki ha kakai kehe pe puleʻangá. ʻOku pehē ʻe ha niʻihi ʻi he meʻa fakalaumālié ʻoku ʻikai fie maʻu ʻa e tangatá mo e fefiné ke feinga ke angatonu fakatāutaha—koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻofa mo fakamoʻui kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he “tuʻunga ʻoku tau ʻi aí.”

ʻOku finangalo e ʻOtuá ke ngāue ʻEne fānaú ʻo fakatatau mo e tauʻatāina ke fili kuó Ne foaki kiate kinautolú, “koeʻuhí ke lava ʻo ʻekeʻi mei he tangata kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngaahi angahala ʻaʻaná ʻi he ʻaho ʻo e fakamāú.”² Ko ʻEne palaní mo Hono finangaló ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻa e tefitoʻi fatongia ke tau fili ʻi he ngaahi palopalema ʻo ʻetau moʻuí. He ʻikai hanga ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo puleʻi ʻetau moʻuí pe puleʻi kitautolu ʻo hangē kitautolu ko Haʻane tamapua pea hangē ko e fokotuʻu ne fakahoko ʻe Lusifaá. Pea he ʻikai loto ʻa ʻEne kau palōfitá ke nau “pule” ʻo fetongi e ʻOtuá. Naʻe pehē ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi, “ʻOku ʻikai ke u fie maʻu ke fiemālie ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí he māmaní pe ʻi langi ʻi ha meʻa pē ʻoku ou fai, tukukehe kapau ko hono fakafiemālieʻi kinautolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻo e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa e laumālie ʻo e fakahaá. ʻOku ou fakaʻamu ke nau ʻiloʻi pea maʻu e mahinó ʻiate kinautolu pē.”³

ʻOku ʻikai ke fakahaofi kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he “tuʻunga ʻoku tau ʻi aí,” ko e ʻuluakí, koeʻuhí ko e “tuʻunga ʻoku tau ʻi aí” ʻoku tau taʻemaʻa, pea “ʻoku ʻikai lava ke nofo [ʻi hono ʻaó] ha meʻa ʻoku taʻemaʻa …; he ʻoku hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻĀtamá, ko e Tangata ʻo e Māʻoniʻoní ʻa hono huafá, pea ko e huafa ʻo hono ʻAlo pē Taha naʻe Fakatupú ko e Foha ʻo e Tangatá [ʻo e Māʻoniʻoni].”⁴ Pea ko hono uá, ʻe ʻikai ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ne ngaohi kitautolu ki ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fili ke aʻusia. Ko e moʻoni, ʻokú Ne ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu, pea koeʻuhí ʻokú Ne ʻofa ʻiate kitautolu, he ʻikai ke Ne fakamālohiʻi pe liʻaki ai kitautolu. Ka te Ne tokoniʻi mo tataki kitautolu. ʻOku fakahā moʻoni e ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi Heʻene ngaahi fekaú.

ʻOku totonu (pea ʻoku tau fai ia) ke tau fiefia ʻi he palani kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa ia ʻoku tau lava ai ʻo fai ha fili ke tau fili maʻatautolu pea ʻausia hono ngaahi nunuʻá, pe ko ia ʻoku fakahā mai ʻe he folofolá, ke “ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa mahí, koeʻuhí ke nau ʻiloʻi hono fakamahuʻingaʻi ʻa e leleí.”⁵ ʻOku tau houngaʻia ʻo taʻengata ʻi hono ikunaʻi ʻe he Fakalelei ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻa e ʻuluaki faiangahalá kae lava fanauʻi kitautolu ki he māmaní kae ʻikai tauteaʻi kitautolu koeʻuhí ko e maumaufono ʻa ʻĀtamá.⁶ ʻI hono huhuʻi kitautolu mei he Hingá, ʻoku tau kamata e moʻui taʻehalaia ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá pea “hoko ai ʻo tauʻatāina ʻo taʻengata, ʻo tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e leleí mei he koví; ke fili [maʻatautolu] pē kae ʻikai fakamālohiʻi ke ngāue ʻi ha faʻahinga founga.”⁷ ʻE lava ke tau fili ke fai ʻa ia ʻoku tau loto ki aí, pea hoko ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtuá ʻi Heʻene tokoní.⁸

Ka ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe he fakamaau totonú ia ke ʻoua naʻa hoko ʻeni kae ʻoua ke tau loto fiemālie mo kau ki ai. Kuo pehē maʻu pē ia. Ko ʻetau ʻi heni ʻi he sino fakamatelié he māmaní, ko e ola ia ʻo ha fili ne tau takitaha fai ke kau ʻi he palani ʻa ʻetau Tamaí.⁹ Ko ia ai ko e fakamoʻuí ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa ia ʻoku makatuʻunga ʻene hokó ʻi ha ueʻi pe finangalo fakalangi ʻataʻatā pē.¹⁰

Ko e fakamaau totonú ko ha ʻulungaanga mahuʻinga ia ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻE lava ke tau tui ki he ʻOtuá he haohaoa Hono tuʻunga fakalangí. ʻOku akoʻi kitautolu ʻe he folofolá “He ʻoku ʻikai hāʻele ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi hāʻeleʻanga pikopiko, pea ʻoku ʻikai foki te ne afe ki he nima toʻomataʻú pe ki he nima toʻohemá, pea ʻoku ʻikai foki te ne fai ʻo kehe mei he meʻa kuó ne folofola ʻakí, ko ia ʻoku hangatonu ʻa hono ngaahi hāʻeleʻangá, pea ko hono halá ʻoku tatau ai pē ʻo taʻengata”¹¹ pea ʻoku “ʻikai filifilimānāko ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he kakaí.”¹² ʻOku tau fakafalala ki he ngaahi ʻulungaanga fakalangi ʻo e fakamaau totonú, koeʻuhí ko ʻetau maʻu ʻa e tuí, loto falalá, mo e ʻamanaki leleí.

Koeʻuhí ʻokú Ne fakamaau totonu kuó Ne fokotuʻutuʻu ai ha founga ke fakahoko ʻe he ʻaloʻofá ʻa hono fatongia ʻi hotau ikuʻanga taʻengatá.

ʻOku tau ʻilo ko e “ngaahi mamahi mo e mate ʻaʻana ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ke ne fai ha angahalá, ʻa ia naʻe hoifua lelei ki ai [ʻa e Tamaí]; … ki he toto ʻo [Hono] Fohá ʻa ia naʻe liling픹⁶ ʻa ia naʻá ne fakafiemālieʻi e fie maʻu ʻa e fakamaau totonú, ʻoatu mo e ʻaloʻofá, pea huhuʻi kitautolú.¹⁷ Neongo ia, “fakatatau ki he fakamaau totonú, ʻe ʻikai lava ʻo fakahoko ʻa e palani ʻo e huhuʻí, tuku kehe ʻo ka toki fakatomala.”¹⁸ Ko e fie maʻu ia mo e faingamālie ke fakatomalá ʻokú ne fakaʻatā e ʻaloʻofá ke fakahoko ʻene ngāué kae ʻikai ke ne tāmoloki ai e fakamaau totonú.
