Ke Fakahinohino Kitautolu ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní

ʻOku ou ʻilo pau kuo mou takitaha aʻusia ʻa hono tāpuekina kimoutolu ʻi hoʻomou muimui ki he palōfitá.

Ko e muimui ki he meʻa ʻoku ueʻi fakalaumālie ke akoʻi mai ʻe he kau palōfitá ʻoku ʻikai fakapapauʻi mai ai he ʻikai ke manukiʻi pe fakatangaʻi kitautolu pe he ʻikai ke tau fehangahangai mo ha ngaahi faingataʻa kehe koeʻuhí ko ʻetau talangofuá. Ka ʻoku hoko ʻetau loto-fiemālie ke talangofuá ke tau iku ai ʻo maʻu ʻa e “melino ʻi māmani pea mo e moʻui taʻengata ʻi he maama ka hoko maí” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 59:23).

Naʻe fehangahangai ʻa Nīfai mo e konga ʻo e fāmili ʻo Līhai mo ʻIsimeli naʻe muimui ki he ngaahi akonaki ʻa Līhaí, mo ha ngaahi faingataʻa lahi, ka naʻe iku ʻo nau moʻui “ʻi he fiefia” (2 Nīfai 5:27) ʻi he fonua ʻo e talaʻofá. ʻE lava pē ke hoko ʻa e tatali mo e tui ki he ngaahi tāpuaki kuo talaʻofa mai ki he kahaʻú ko ha pole ʻi ha ʻaho te tau taʻe-fiemālie ai kapau ʻe laka hake ʻi he sekoni ʻe .62 ʻa e fekumi ʻi he komipiutá.

ʻI heʻeku kei siʻí, naʻá ku fifili pe ko e hā e ʻuhinga naʻe faifai pea fakasītuʻaʻi ai ʻe he kakai ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻa e kau palōfitá. Naʻe ngali fakalilifu ia kiate au. Meʻa ní naʻe ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo sio ki he ngaahi nunuʻá? ʻE lava fēfē ke aʻu ʻa e kakaí ki ha tuʻunga te nau fakafisingaʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻa e kau palōfitá pea aʻu ʻo nau fakasītuʻaʻi mo fehiʻa tonu ʻi he kau palōfitá?

ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kuo hili atú, naʻá ku fakakaukau ke u siofi ʻa e ngaahi fakafōtunga ki he ngaahi pōpoaki mei he kau palōfitá. Ko e taimi ʻe niʻihi naʻe faʻa fakasītuʻaʻi ʻe he kakaí ʻa e kau palōfitá koeʻuhí he naʻa nau meheka ʻiate kinautolu mo honau mālohí.

ʻI he Tohi Tolu Nīfaí ʻi he taimi naʻe ngāue fakaetauhi ai ʻa Nīfai ʻi he mālohi lahí, “naʻa nau ʻita kiate ia, koeʻuhí he naʻe ʻiate ia ʻa e mālohi lahi ange ʻiate kinautolu” (3 Nīfai 7:18). Naʻe aʻu ki he mamata ʻa e kakaí ki he fokotuʻu ʻe Nīfai hono tokouá mei he maté; “pea naʻe mamata ki ai ʻa e kakaí, pea naʻa nau fakamoʻoni ki ai, pea naʻa nau ʻita kiate ia koeʻuhí ko hono mālohí” (3 Nīfai 7:20).

Ko e taimi naʻe foki mai ai ʻa Tōmasi Maʻasi ki he Siasí hili ʻene mavahé, naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe hokó:

“Kuo pau naʻe mole ʻa e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí mei hoku lotó. …

“Naʻá ku meheka ʻi he Palōfitá … pea naʻe ʻikai te u fakatokangaʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻe totonú, peá u fakamoleki kotoa hoku taimí ʻi he fekumi ki he koví; … Naʻá ku fakakaukau naʻá ku fakatokangaʻi ha fuʻu ʻakau ʻi he fofonga ʻo Siosefá, ka ko e malamalaʻi ʻakau pē ia, [ka] naʻe fakafonu hoku matá ʻaki ʻa e fuʻu ʻakau; … Naʻá ku ʻita pea naʻá ku fakaʻamu ke ʻita ʻa e toengá. Naʻá ku talanoa mo Misa Pilikihami ʻIongi mo Misa Hiipa C.

Naʻe pehē mai ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi, ʻi ha mata tokanga, ʻMisa Tōmasi, ko e taki nai koe ʻo e Siasí?’ Naʻá ku tali ange ʻʻIkai.’ Peá ne pehē mai, ʻSai, ko e hā leva e ʻuhinga ʻoku ʻikai ke ke tukunoaʻi ai iá?’”²

ʻOku ʻi ai mo ha ngaahi ʻuhinga kehe kuo ʻikai muimui ai ʻa e kakaí ki he faleʻi ʻa e kau palōfitá. Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻa angamaheni tahá ko e fakamoʻoni ʻa e kau palōfitá ki he angahala ʻa e kakaí pea malanga ʻaki ʻa e fakatomalá. ʻOku ʻikai tali lelei ʻeni ʻe ha kakai tokolahi. ʻOku tau fakatokangaʻi ʻa e kaveinga ko ʻení kimuʻa ʻi he ʻuluaki veesi ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻi he talateu nounou naʻe fai ʻe Nīfai ki he ʻUluaki Tohi ʻa Nīfaí. ʻOku tohi ai ʻe Nīfai ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fakatokanga ʻa e ʻEikí kia Līhai ke hiki mei he fonua ko Selūsalemá, koeʻuhí ko ʻene kikite ki he kakaí ʻo kau ki heʻenau angahalá, pea ʻoku nau feinga ke tāmateʻi ia.” ʻOku toutou hā ʻa e sīpinga ko ʻení ʻi he folofolá (hangē ko ʻení, vakai, 1 Nīfai 16:2; Mōsaia 13:4; ʻAlamā 35:15; Hilamani 8:4; 13:26–28).

Ko e tokolahi ʻo kitautolu ʻoku ʻikai ke tau fie fanongo ʻoku tau fai ha fehalaaki. ʻOku ʻikai ke tau saiʻia ke fakatonutonuʻi kitautolu. ʻOku hoko ʻeni ko ha pole lahi ange ʻi he fakaʻau ke mamaʻo ange ʻa e sōsaietí mei he ngaahi akonaki mo e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI ha sosaieti māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku hoko ʻa e kakai ʻoku hehema ke faiangahalá ko ha kakai ia ʻoku kehe mei he toengá; ka ʻi ha sosaieti ʻoku fakaliʻeliʻaki pe fakasītuʻaʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi akonaki ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻoku hoko ʻa kinautolu ʻoku talangofua ki he ngaahi fekaú ko e kehe mei he toengá pea ʻoku teketekeʻi kinautolu.

ʻI he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ko e ngaahi sosaieti ko ē naʻe fuʻu tōtuʻa ʻenau tui ki he ngaahi fakakaukau fakapoto loi mo faiangahalá—hangē ko e kakai ʻo e Tuʻi ko Noá, kakai ʻo ʻAmonaihaá, pe kakai Sōlamí—naʻe meimei ke nau fakafepakiʻi ʻa e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻa e kau palōfitá. ʻI he taimi ʻoku hē ai ʻa e sosaietí, ʻoku toe mālohi ange leva ʻa e tākiekina ʻe he fuʻu fale lahi mo ʻataʻataá ʻa e niʻihi fakafoʻituituí. ʻOku ngali ofi mo lahi ange ia. ʻOku hangē ʻoku toe mālohi mo mahino ange ʻa e manukí. ʻOku hangē ʻoku lahi ange ʻa e ngaahi louhiʻinima ʻoku tuhu manukí—pea ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻení he ʻoku pehē ia. ʻOku taulōfuʻu ʻa hono teke kitautolu ke ʻoua naʻa ngata pē ʻi heʻetau tafoki mei he halá pea mo e fua ʻo e fuʻu ʻakaú, ka ke tau kau foki ʻi hono manukiʻi mo ʻohofi ʻa e niʻihi ʻoku feinga ke nofo maʻu ʻi he halá.

Ka ʻi he hili ʻemau talanoá, naʻá ku fifili: naʻe ʻi ai nai ha meʻa naʻá ku ongoʻi mālohi feʻunga ki ai, pe naʻe fuʻu mālohi ʻa e fakafepaki ʻa e ākenga lolotonga ʻo e sosaietí, te ne fakatupunga ai haʻaku fakasītuʻaʻi ʻa e palōfitá?

Ko e taimi ʻoku fepaki ai ha faleʻi ʻa e palōfitá mo ʻetau ngaahi ongo fakafoʻituituí, ngaahi holí, pe ngaahi fakakaukaú, pe ko e taimi ʻoku fakafepakiʻi lahi ai ʻe he faleʻi ko iá ha ngaahi fakakaukau fakatokolahi ʻa e sosaietí, ko e hā ʻetau fakafōtunga ʻe faí? Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa Sāmita, “Kuo laui taʻu ʻeku feinga ke mateuteu ʻa e ʻatamai ʻo e Kāingalotú ke tali ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá; ka ʻoku tau faʻa fakatokangaʻi hanau niʻihi, ʻi he hili ʻenau fakahoko ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau lavá maʻá e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku molengofua ʻenau tuí ʻo hangē ha sioʻata ʻoku momo ʻi heʻenau fehangahangai mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke nau anga ki aí: ʻoku ʻikai ke nau teitei lava ʻo matuʻuaki ʻa e ʻahiʻahí.”³

Naʻe lea ʻa Palesiteni Henelī B. ʻAealingi, ko e Tokoni Ua ʻi he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, fekauʻaki mo e fakafōtunga ki he faleʻi mei he kau palōfitá:

“ʻI he taimi ʻoku ngali toutou heʻaki ai e ngaahi lea ʻa e kau palōfitá, ʻoku totonu ke ne tohoakiʻi ʻetau tokangá mo fakafonu hotau lotó ʻaki ha houngaʻia ke moʻui ʻi ha taimi monūʻia pehē.

“ʻOku ongo lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku tui mālohí ke fekumi ki he hala ʻoku malú ʻi he faleʻi ʻa e kau palōfitá. ʻI he taimi ʻoku lea ai ha palōfitá, mahalo ʻe fakakaukau ʻa kinautolu ʻoku siʻisiʻi ʻenau tuí ʻoku nau fanongo pē ki ha tangata poto ʻokú ne fai ha akonaki lelei. Pea kapau ʻoku ngali fakafiemālie mo ʻuhingamālie ʻene faleʻí, ʻo fenāpasi mo e meʻa ʻoku nau fie fakahokó, te nau fakahoko ia. Kapau ʻoku ʻikai, ʻoku nau lau ia ko ha faleʻi hala, pe lau honau tūkungá ko ha ʻuhinga ia ke fakatonuhiaʻi ai ʻa hono fakaʻatā kinautolu mei hono fakahoko ʻo e faleʻi ko iá. Mahalo ʻe fakakaukau ʻa kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai tuí ʻoku nau fanongo pē ki ha kau tangata ʻoku nau feinga ke fakalotoʻi ha ngaahi taumuʻa siokita…

“… ʻOku holoki hotau mālohi ke tali ʻa e faleʻi fakalaumālie ʻi he kahaʻú, ʻi he ʻikai ke tau tokanga ki he enginaki fakaepalōfitá. …

“Ko e taimi kotoa pē kuó u fakafanongo ai ki he faleʻi ʻa e kau palōfitá, ʻo ongoʻi hono fakapapauʻi mai ia ʻi he lotú, pea muimui leva ki aí, ne u ʻilo kuó u laka atu ki he malú… 

“Taimi ʻe niʻihi te tau maʻu ha faleʻi ʻoku ʻikai mahino kiate kitautolu pe hangē ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ia kiate kitautolú, neongo kuo tau lotu mo fakakaukau lelei ki ai. ʻOua naʻá ke siʻaki ʻa e faleʻí, ka ke puke maʻu ia.

Hili hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe Samuela ko e Tangata Leimaná ki he kakaí ʻa e founga kuo nau fakasītuʻaʻi ai ʻa e kau palōfitá kae fakafanongo ki he niʻihi ne nau akoʻi kinautolu ke “ʻaʻeva ʻi he hīkisia [ʻa honau] matá, pea fai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku holi ki ai [honau] lotó” (Hilamani 13:27), naʻá ne ʻeke ange ha fehuʻi fefeka ʻe ua: “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo hoʻomou tuku ke tataki ʻa kimoutolu ʻe he kau fakahinohino ʻoku vale mo kuí?” mo e “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo hoʻomou fili ʻa e fakapoʻulí kae ʻikai ko e māmá?” (Hilamani 13:29).

Naʻe ʻikai ke fakahā ʻe ha taha ia ʻa ʻenau fakaʻamu ke tataki kinautolu ʻe he kau fakahinohino kuí. Ko kinautolu ko ia naʻe takihalaʻí naʻe ʻikai ke nau tala ʻe kinautolu ko ha kau “fakahinohino kui” ʻa e niʻihi ko ia ne nau akoʻi ange ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau fakapoto ʻoku halá.

ʻOku ou fifili pe ʻe fenāpasi fēfē nai ʻa e niʻihi ʻo e kau fakahinohino kui ko ia mei he Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo e kuongá ni.

ʻI he ivi lahi ʻo Nēhoá, mo hono kofu totongi mamafá, mo ʻene matamata lelei ki he kakaí, te ne tohoakiʻi ʻe ia ha kau muimui tokolahi ʻi he Instagram—ʻo ne fakafōtunga ‘a e “moʻui fiemālié” ʻo ʻikai haʻisia ki ha ngaahi fekau pea fakaʻaongaʻi ʻene sīpinga ki hono tukuhifo ʻa e Siasí mo hono ngaahi akonakí.

Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe Kolihola ha kakai ʻe lauimiliona ke lesisita ki heʻene sēnolo YouTube ʻa ia te ne maʻu ai ʻa e tauʻatāina ke manukiʻi ʻa e kakai tuí pea akoʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku “mālie ki he ʻatamai fakakakanó” (ʻAlamā 30:53).

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe ʻEletā Sefilī R.
