Ko e Meʻafoaki mo e Mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá

ʻI he toe foki ʻa Siosefa ki Hāmoni ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1828, naʻe toe hā mai ʻa Molonai kiate ia ʻo ne ʻave ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí. Naʻe talaange ʻe he ʻāngeló, “Kapau ʻe feʻunga hoʻo loto fakatōkilaló mo e  ongoʻi fakatomalá, te ke toe maʻu foki ia ʻi he ʻaho  uofulu mā ua ʻo Sepitemá.”¹

Naʻe nofoʻia ʻe he fakapoʻulí e ʻatamai ʻo Siosefá.² Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo hala ʻene meʻa naʻe faí heʻene taʻetokanga ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá ka ne fakafalala kia Māteni ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peesi kuo liliú. Ko ʻeni kuo ʻikai toe falala ange ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate ia ʻi he ʻū lauʻi peletí pe ongo meʻa fakatonuleá. Naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Siosefa hangē naʻe tuha pē mo ia ha faʻahinga tautea ʻe ʻomi mei he langí.³

Naʻá ne mafasia he ongoʻi halaiá mo e fakameʻapangoʻiá, ko ia naʻá ne tūʻulutui ʻo vete ʻene ngaahi angahalá mo tautapa ki ha fakamolemole. Naʻá ne fakamanatu e meʻa hala naʻá ne faí mo e meʻa te ne lava ʻo fai ke lelei ange kapau ʻe toe tuku ʻe he ʻEikí ke ne toe fai ʻa e liliú.⁴

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha ʻi Siulai, ʻi ha lue lalo ʻa Siosefa ʻo mamaʻo siʻi atu pē mei honau ʻapí, naʻe toe hā ange kiate ia ʻa Molonai. Naʻe ʻoange kiate ia ʻe he ʻāngeló ʻa e ongo meʻa fakatonuleá pea naʻe sio ʻa Siosefa naʻe ʻasi ai ha pōpoaki fakalangi: “ʻOku ʻikai lava ke taʻofi ʻa e ngaahi ngāue mo e ngaahi fakakaukau mo e ngaahi finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku ʻikai lava foki ke iku noa ia.”⁵

Naʻe fakalotolahi e ngaahi lea ko iá, ka naʻe hoko atu ai ha valoki. Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e ʻEikí, “Naʻe mamafa fau ʻa e ngaahi fekau naʻe fai kiate koé. He vakai, naʻe ʻikai totonu ke ke manavahē ki he tangatá ʻo lahi ange ʻi he ʻOtuá.” Naʻá Ne fekau kia Siosefa ke fakatomala pea toe tokanga ange ki he ngaahi meʻa toputapú. Naʻe mahuʻinga ange e lekooti ʻi he ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá ʻi he ongoongo ʻo Mātení pe holi ʻa Siosefa ke fakafiemālieʻi e kakaí. Kuo teuteu ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ke fakafoʻou ai ʻEne fuakava fakakuongamuʻá mo akoʻi ki he kakai kotoa pē ke nau fakafalala kia Sīsū Kalaisi ke maʻu ai honau fakamoʻuí.

Naʻe tapou e ʻEikí kia Siosefa ke ne manatuʻi ʻEne ʻaloʻofá. Naʻá Ne fekau ange ʻo pehē, “Fakatomala mei he meʻa kuó ke faí, … pea ʻoku kei fili pē koe.” Ko ia naʻá Ne toe ui ʻa Siosefa ke hoko ko ʻEne palōfita mo e tangata kikite. Ka naʻá Ne fakatokanga kiate ia ke talangofua ki Heʻene folofolá.

Naʻá Ne fakahā ange, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fai ʻeni, ʻe tukuange koe pea te ke hoko ʻo tatau mo e kau tangata kehe, ʻo ʻikai toe maʻu ha meʻa-foaki.”⁶

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ko iá, naʻe fononga fakatonga ai e ongomātuʻa ʻa Siosefá ki Hāmoni. Kuo meimei lava ha māhina ʻe ua e mavahe ʻa Siosefa mei hona ʻapí ʻi Manisesitā, pea kuo teʻeki ke nau maʻu ha ongoongo meiate ia. Ne na hohaʻa kuo hanga ʻe he ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi ne hoko he faʻahitaʻu māfaná, ʻo fakaloto-mamahiʻi ia.

ʻI he toe ha meimei maile ʻe taha mei he feituʻu ne na fakataumuʻa ki aí, naʻe fiefia lahi ʻa Siosefa ko e Lahí mo Lusi he vakai atu ʻoku tuʻu mai ʻa Siosefa ʻi muʻa he halá, ʻokú ne fofonga nonga mo fiefia. Naʻá ne fakamatala kiate kinaua ʻo kau ki he mole e falala ʻa e ʻOtuá, fakatomala mei heʻene ngaahi angahalá pea mo hono maʻu ʻo e fakahaá.

Naʻe talaange foki ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene ongomātuʻá kuo ʻosi toe fakafoki ange ʻe Molonai ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí mo e ongo meʻa fakatonuleá. Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa ne hā fiefia ʻa e ʻāngeló. “Naʻá ne talamai ʻoku ʻofa mai ʻa e ʻEikí kiate au ko ʻeku faivelengá mo loto fakatōkilaló.”

Kuo tuku fakalelei ʻeni ʻa e lekōtí ʻi he falé, ʻo fūfuuʻi ʻi ha puha faʻoʻanga meʻa. Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa, “Ko ʻEma ʻokú ne fai ʻeku tohí he taimi ní, ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngeló ʻe ʻomi ʻe he ʻEikí ha taha ke tohi maʻaku, pea ʻoku ou falala ʻe hoko ia.”⁷

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu failau hokó, naʻe fononga ai ʻa Māteni Hālisi ki Hāmoni mo ha ongoongo fakamamahi.

Naʻe vili ʻa Māteni ke ʻoange ʻe Siosefa ha toe fakamoʻoni ko e moʻoni e ʻū lauʻi peletí. Naʻá ne fie tala ki he fakamaauʻangá e meʻa kotoa pē fekauʻaki mo e liliú, ka naʻá ne hohaʻa he ʻikai tui ange ki ai e kakaí. He naʻe hakule foki ʻe Lusi ia e fale ʻo e ongomātuʻa Sāmitá ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne maʻu e lekōtí.

Naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Siosefa ki he ʻEikí peá ne maʻu ha tali maʻa hono kaungāmeʻá. He ʻikai fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ia kia Māteni ʻa e meʻa ke ne lea ʻaki ʻi he fakamaauʻangá, pe ʻoange ha faʻahinga fakamoʻoni kae ʻoua kuo fili ʻa Māteni ke loto fakatōkilalo mo fakahaaʻi ʻokú ne tui. Naʻá Ne folofola ange, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau tui ki heʻeku ngaahi leá, ʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate koe, ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siosefá, ʻo kapau te ke lava ke ke fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ko ʻeni kuó u tuku kiate koé.”

Naʻe talaʻofa ange e ʻEikí ʻe fai manavaʻofa kia Māteni, kapau te ne fai e meʻa ne fai ʻe Siosefa he faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá pea loto fakatōkilalo, falala ki he ʻOtuá mo ako mei heʻene ngaahi fehalākí.

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Siosefa mo ʻEma, “Ko e folofola ia ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻAisake, “ʻOku ou lau ko ha fakamuna kotoa e meʻa ko iá.” “Tuku ʻaupito it.”¹²

Naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Māteni ia ki he tamai ʻa ʻEmá, ka ne ʻave ʻe ia ʻene tatau ʻo e fakahaá peá ne heka he salioté ʻo foki ki ʻapi. Kuó ne haʻu ki Hāmoní ko e kumi ha fakamoʻoni fekauʻaki mo e ʻū lauʻi peletí, pea naʻá ne mavahe mei ai mo ha fakahā kuo fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻene moʻoní. He ʻikai lava ke ne fakaʻaongaʻi ia ʻi fale hopo, ka naʻá ne foki ki Palemaila mo e ʻilo pau ʻoku ʻafioʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí.

ʻI he tuʻu kimui ange ʻa Māteni he ʻao ʻo e fakamāú, naʻá ne fai pē ha fakamoʻoni mālohi.

Naʻe toʻoa e loto ʻo ʻŌlivá heʻena fakamatalá pea naʻá ne fakaʻamu ke ne tokoni ki he liliú.

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí kia Siosefa, te Ne “veuveuki ʻa kinautolu kuo nau liliu ʻa ʻeku ngaahi leá.” “Te u fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻoku lahi ange ʻa hoku potó ʻi he olopoto ʻa e tēvoló.”²⁷

Naʻe fiefia ʻa ʻŌliva ke hoko ko ha sikalaipe ʻa Siosefa.

Ka naʻe kei lahi pē e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻa ʻŌliva ʻo kau ki he ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí, pea naʻá ne fuʻu fie maʻu ha ngaahi tali.

Naʻá Ne fakahā foki kia ʻŌliva te ne lava ʻo liliu e lekōtí ʻo hangē ko Siosefá, kapau pē te ne fakafalala ʻi he tuí. Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e ʻEikí, “Manatuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te ke lava ke fai ha meʻa taʻe ʻi ai ʻa e tuí.”³²
