ʻOku tau ako ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú ki ha talavou koloaʻia naʻá ne fehuʻi kia Sīsū, “ʻEiki Lelei, ko e hā ha meʻa lelei te u fai ke u maʻu ai ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá?”² Naʻe ʻuluaki faleʻi ia ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ke ne tauhi e ngaahi fekaú. Pea hoko ai mo hano ʻoange ʻe he ʻEikí ki he talavoú ha fie maʻu makehe, ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene ngaahi fie maʻu tukupaú mo hono tūkungá.

“Pea talaange ʻe Sīsū kiate ia, Kapau ko ho lotó ke ke haohaoa, ʻalu ʻo fakatau ʻa ia ʻoku ʻaʻaú, mo foaki ki he masivá, pea te ke maʻu ai ʻa e koloa ʻi he langí: peá ke haʻu, ʻo muimui ʻiate au.

“Ka ʻi he fanongo ʻa e talavoú ki he lea ko iá, naʻe ʻalu mamahi: he naʻe lahi ʻene koloá.”³

Fakafehoanaki e aʻusia ʻa e talavou koloaʻiá mo e ʻausia ʻa ʻAmulekí, ʻo hangē ko hono fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Ko ʻAmulekí ko ha tangata faʻa ngāue mo koloaʻia pea tokolahi hono kāingá mo e ngaahi kaungāmeʻá.⁴ Naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi pē ia ko ha tangata naʻe tuʻo lahi hono uí kae ʻikai fiefanongo; ko ha tangata naʻá ne ʻilo e ngaahi meʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne fie ʻiloʻi.⁵ Ko ha tangata lelei pē ʻa ʻAmuleki, ka naʻe tohoakiʻi ia ʻe he ngaahi hohaʻa ʻo e māmaní ʻo tatau pē mo e talavou koloaʻia ne fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú.

Neongo naʻe ʻuluaki fakafefeka ʻe ʻAmuleki hono lotó, ka naʻá ne talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo ha ʻāngelo, ʻo talitali e palōfita ko ʻAlamaá ki hono ʻapí, mo fafangaʻi ia. Naʻe fakaake fakalaumālie ia lolotonga e ʻaʻahi ʻa ʻAlamaá pea uiuʻi ia ke ne malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongoleleí. Naʻe siʻaki leva ʻe ʻAmuleki ʻa “ʻene koulá, mo e siliva, mo ʻene meʻa mahuʻinga kotoa pē … koeʻuhí ko e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, [pea naʻe] fakafisinga ia ʻe kinautolu [naʻa] nau hoko ko hono ngaahi kaumeʻá kaeʻumaʻā foki ʻene tamaí mo hono kāingá.”⁶

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻokú ne fakamatalaʻi e faikehekehe ʻi he tali ʻa e talavou koloaʻiá mo ʻAmulekí?

Lolotonga e vahaʻataimi fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e fetauʻaki ne fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, naʻe fetohiʻaki ʻa Molonai, ko e ʻeikitau ʻo e ngaahi kongakau ʻa e kau Nīfaí, mo Peiholani, ko e tuʻi fakamaau lahi mo e kōvana ʻo e fonuá. Naʻe tohi ʻa Molonai kia Peiholani, ʻi he faingataʻaʻia ʻene kau taú ʻi he ʻikai feʻunga e tokoni mei he puleʻangá, “ʻo valokiʻi”⁷ mo tukuakiʻi ia mo hono kaungā-takí ʻoku nau taʻefakaʻatuʻi, fakapikopiko, taʻetokanga, pea nau hoko foki ko ha kau lavaki.⁸

Naʻe mei faingofua pē ke fakafepakiʻi ʻe Peiholani ʻa Molonai mo ʻene tukuakiʻi halá, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne fai ia. Naʻá ne fai ange ha tali ʻi he manavaʻofa mo fakamatalaʻi ne fai ha angatuʻu ki he puleʻangá, naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ki ai ʻa Molonai ia. Pea pehē ʻe Peiholani:

“Vakai, ʻoku ou pehē kiate koe, ʻe Molonai, ʻoku ʻikai te u fiefia ʻi homou ngaahi fuʻu faingataʻaʻiá, ʻio, ʻoku fakamamahi ia ki hoku laumālié. …

“… Kuó ke fakahalaʻi au ʻi hoʻo tohí, ka ʻoku tatau ai pē; ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻita, ka ʻoku ou fiefia ʻi he toʻa ʻa ho lotó.”⁹

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā naʻe tali mokomoko ai ʻe Peiholani e ngaahi tukuakiʻi ʻa Molonaí?

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ʻi he konifelenisi lahi he māhina ʻe ono kuohilí ʻa ʻene tali ki he fakaafe ʻa Palesiteni Tōmasi S.

Naʻe fakamamafaʻi peheʻi pē ʻe Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi hono mahuʻinga ki heʻene moʻuí e kole ʻa Palesiteni Monisoní. Naʻá ne pehē:

“Ne u lau ai e Tohi ʻa Molomoná he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 50 tupu. Koeʻuhí kuó u lau ia, ne u fakakaukau mahalo naʻa ko e lea ʻa Palesiteni Monisoní ia ki ha taha kehe. Kae hangē pē ko e tokolahi ʻo kimoutolu, ne u ongoʻi naʻe hanga ʻe he fakalotolahi mo e talaʻofa ʻa e palōfitá ʻo fakaafeʻi au ke u toe feinga lahi ange. …

ʻOkú ke pehē ko e hā ʻoku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he tali vave mo fakamātoato ne fai ʻe he ongo taki ko ʻeni ʻo e Siasi ʻo e ʻEikí, ki he fakaafe ʻa Palesiteni Monisoní?
