ʻOku Tau Lava ʻo Fakahoko Ha Ngaahi Meʻa Faingataʻa ʻo fakafou ʻIate Ia

Lolotonga e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻi māmaní, naʻá Ne fakatokangaʻi ha tangata naʻe kui. Naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe he kau ākonga ʻa Sīsuú, “Lāpai, ko hai naʻe fai angahalá, ʻa e tangatá ni, pe ko ʻene mātuʻá, naʻe fanauʻi kui ai iá?”

ʻOku fakapapauʻi mai ʻe he tali pau, ʻofa mo fakamātoato ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻokú Ne ʻafioʻi hotau ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá: “Naʻe ʻikai faiangahala ʻa e tangatá ni, pe ko ʻene mātuʻá: ka ko e meʻa ke fakahā ʻiate ia ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá.”¹

Neongo ʻe hoko mai ha ngaahi faingataʻa ʻe niʻihi koeʻuhí ko ha talangataʻa ʻiloʻilo pau, ka ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku hoko mai ha konga lahi ʻo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e moʻuí koeʻuhí ko ha ngaahi ʻuhinga kehe. Neongo pe ko e hā e tupuʻanga hotau ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá, ka ʻe lava ia ʻo hoko ko ha faingamālie maʻongoʻonga ke tau tupulaki ai.

Kuo ʻikai hao homau fāmilí mei he ngaahi faingataʻa ʻo e moʻuí. Ne u saiʻia heʻeku tupu haké ʻi he ngaahi fāmili tokolahí. Ne u fakaʻofoʻofaʻia he ngaahi fāmili peheé, tautautefito ki he taimi ne u ʻilo ai e Siasí ʻi hoku taʻu hongofulu tupú mei heʻeku faʻētangata ko Sefó pea mo hono uaifí ʻi Takolati, Kaná.

ʻI heʻeku mali mo Hená, ne ma loto ke aʻusia e ngaahi meʻa ʻi homa tāpuaki fakapēteliaké, ʻa ia naʻe ʻasi ai ʻe tāpuekina kimaua ʻaki ha fānau tokolahi. Ka neongo ia, kimuʻa pea fanauʻi homa foha fika tolú, naʻe mahino kiate kimaua he ʻikai lava ʻe Hena ʻo toe fanauʻi ha pēpē ʻe taha. Meʻamālié, neongo ne fāʻeleʻi ʻa Kēneti ʻi ha tūkunga fakatuʻutāmaki fakatouʻosi kiate ia mo ʻene faʻeé, ka naʻá ne moʻui pē pea fakaakeake lelei mo ʻene faʻeé. Naʻe malava ke ne kamata kau kakato ki he moʻui homau fāmilí—kau ai ʻa e ʻalu ki he Lotú, ngaahi lotu fakafāmili fakaʻahó, ako folofolá, efiafi ʻi ʻapí, pea mo ha ngaahi ʻekitivitī fakatupulaki.

Neongo naʻe pau ke liliu ʻema ngaahi fakatuʻamelie ki ha fāmili tokolahí, ka ko ha meʻa fakafiefia ʻema moʻui ʻaki mo ʻema kiʻi fānau ʻofeina ʻe toko tolú e ngaahi akonaki mei he “Ko e Fāmilí: Ko ha Fanongonongo ki Māmaní.” Naʻe toe ʻuhingamālie ange ki he tupulaki ʻeku tuí ʻa e muimui ki he ngaahi akonaki ko iá.

Hangē ko ia ʻoku ʻasi ʻi he fanongonongó: “ʻOku mahuʻinga ʻa e mali ʻa e tangatá mo e fefiné ki Heʻene palani taʻengatá. ʻOku maʻu ai ʻe he fānaú ha totonu ke fanauʻi kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi haʻi ʻo e nofo-malí, pea ke ohi hake kinautolu ʻe ha tamai mo ha faʻē ʻokú na tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fuakava ʻo e malí ʻi he faitōnunga kakato.”² ʻI heʻemau feinga ke moʻui ʻaki e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení, naʻe tāpuekina kimautolu.

Ka neongo ia, ʻi ha fakaʻosinga ʻo ha uike ʻe taha lolotonga ʻeku hoko ko ha palesiteni fakasiteikí, ne ma aʻusia mahalo ʻa e ʻahiʻahi faingataʻa taha ʻe ala fehangahangai mo ha mātuʻá. Ne foki homau fāmilí mei ha ʻekitivitī ʻa e Siasí ʻo fakataha ke maʻu meʻatokoni hoʻatā. Hili iá ne hū atu homa foha ʻe toko tolú ke vaʻinga ʻi homau ʻapí pē.

Naʻá ma ongoʻi mamahi ʻaupito ʻi he ʻikai ke ma maʻu ʻa e faingamālie ke ohi hake homa foha ʻofeiná ʻi he moʻuí ni. Neongo ne ma ʻilo ʻe hoko ʻa Kēneti ko ha konga homau fāmilí ʻo taʻengata, ka ne u fakatokangaʻi ʻeku fehuʻia e ʻuhinga ʻe tuku ai ʻe he ʻOtuá e meʻa fakamamahí ni ke hoko mai kiate au lolotonga ʻeku fakahoko e meʻa kotoa ne u lavá ke fua faivelenga hoku uiuiʻí. Ne u toki foki mai pē ki ʻapi mei hano fakakakato ha taha ʻo hoku ngaahi fatongia ngāue fakaetauhi ki he Kāingalotú. Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai lava ai ke ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻeku fua fatongiá pea fakahaofi homa fohá mo homau fāmilí mei he fakamamahí ni? Ko e lahi ange ʻeku fakakaukau ki aí, ko e lahi ange ia ʻeku loto-mamahí.

Naʻe ʻikai teitei tukuakiʻi au ʻe hoku uaifí ʻi he ʻikai ke u ngāue ki he ngaahi ueʻi naʻá ne maú, ka ne u ako ha lēsoni liliu moʻui peá u fokotuʻu ha lao ʻe ua, ke ʻoua naʻa toe maumauʻi.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni, “I hono tukutaha ʻetau tokangá he palani ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he fakamoʻuí … pea mo Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne ongoongoleleí, te tau lava ʻo ongoʻi fiefia ʻo tatau ai pē [pe] ko e hā e meʻa ʻoku hoko—pe ʻikai ke hoko—ʻi heʻetau moʻuí.” Naʻá ne toe pehē, “Oku haʻu ʻa e fiefiá meiate Ia pea koeʻuhí ko Ia.”⁵

ʻOku tau maʻu ha ngaahi talanoa fakafolofola ʻo ha kau taki maʻongoʻonga mo fakaʻeiʻeiki, hangē ko Selemaia, Siope, Siosefa Sāmita pea mo Nīfai, ʻa ia ne ʻikai te nau hao mei he ngaahi faingataʻa mo e ngaahi pole ʻo e moʻui fakamatelié. Ko ha kau tangata pē kinautolu ne nau ako ke talangofua ki he ʻEikí ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi tūkunga fakamamahí.⁸

ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho fakamamahi ʻo Siosefa Sāmita ʻi he Fale Fakapōpula Lipetií, naʻá ne tangi ʻo pehē: “ʻE ʻOtua, ʻokú ke ʻi fē? Pea ʻoku ʻi fē ʻa e fale ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻa ho fufūʻangá?”⁹ Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Siosefa ke “kātakiʻi ia ke lelei”¹⁰ pea talaʻofa ange kapau te ne fai ia, ʻe ʻoange ʻe he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa kiate ia ha aʻusia pea ʻe lelei kiate ia.¹¹
