ʻE Lava ke Tokoniʻi Kitautolu ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní

Fili ha taha ke tokoni atu kiate koe ʻi hono fai ʻo e ʻekitivitī ko ʻení:

Fekau ha tamasiʻi pe taʻahine ke tuʻu ʻi he veʻe matapaá. Haʻihaʻi hono matá pea fekau ke ne ʻalu ʻo kumi hono seá peá ne nofo ki lalo. ʻOua naʻá ke tokoniʻi ia. (Ka ke fakapapauʻi pē ʻe ʻikai ke ne lavea pe fakatupu lavea ki he toenga ʻo e fānaú.)

Toe fai pē ʻa e meʻa ko ʻení ka ke ʻai ha taha he taimí ni ke tokoni ki he tamasiʻi pe taʻahine ʻoku haʻihaʻi hono matá ʻaki haʻane fakahinohinoʻi ia.

Toʻo ʻa e meʻa naʻe haʻiʻaki e mata ʻo e tamasiʻí pe taʻahiné pea fekau ke ne nofo ki lalo.

Tohiʻi ʻa e foʻi lea ko e tokoni ʻi he palakipoé. Lau ʻa e foʻi leá ki he fānaú pea fakahā ange ko e taimi ʻoku maʻu ai ʻe ha taha ha tokoní, ʻokú ne faʻa maʻu ai ha ngaahi fakahinohino pe ko hano fakahā ange kiate ia ʻa e meʻa ke ne faí pe leaʻakí.

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe ʻosi ʻafioʻi pē ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ia pea mo Sīsū Kalaisi te tau fie maʻu ʻena tokoní mo ʻena fakahinohinó. Naʻá na talaʻofa te na tuku mai ha taha ke ne tataki kitautolu.

Lau ki he fānaú ʻa e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 8:2. ʻOsi ko iá pea fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e fakatātā 3–53, Ko e Lotu ʻa Kalolainé, peá ke fai ʻi hoʻo lea pē ʻaʻau ʻa e talanoa ko ʻení:

Naʻe nofo ʻa e kiʻi taʻahine ko ʻeni ko Kalolainé ʻi Sueteni. Naʻá ne ʻalu fakataha maʻu pē mo hono kiʻi tuongaʻane ko ʻĒliká. Naʻe tokangaʻi lelei ʻe Kalolaine ʻa hono kiʻi tuongaʻané he naʻá ne ʻofa ai. Naʻe taʻu fā pe ʻa ʻĒlika. Naʻa nau nofo ofi pē ki tahi pea naʻe lahi ʻa e ngaahi vaka naʻe tau mai ki he taulanga ofi ki honau ʻapí. Naʻe faʻa ʻomi ʻi he ngaahi vaka ko ʻení ha meʻakai mo ha ngaahi meʻa ngāue fakamīsini. Naʻe ngāue ʻa e tangataʻeiki ʻa Kalolainé mo ʻĒliká ʻi he taha ʻo e ngaahi vaka ko ʻení.

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe tuʻu ai ʻa e ongo tamaiki ko ʻení ʻi ha tafungofunga ʻo sio atu ki ha fuʻu vaka lahi ʻoku lelelele māmālie mai pē ʻi tahi. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Kalolaine, “Ta ō ʻo sio ʻi hono fakahifo ʻe he kau ngāué ʻa e vaká. Fuʻu vaka lahi moʻoni; tā ō ʻo sio pe ko e hā ʻene utá. He ʻikai ke ʻita ʻa e tangataʻeikí ia heʻeta ō ʻo sió kapau te ta nofo mamaʻo atu pē. Ta tangutu pē ʻi ha ngeʻesi puha ʻo sio ki he meʻa kotoa ʻoku faí.”

Naʻe piki fiefia hake leva ʻa ʻĒlika ki he nima ʻo Kalolainé peá na lele hifo ki lalo. Ka ʻi heʻena aʻu hifo ki laló, naʻá ne fakakaukau ʻe toe fakafiefia ange kapau te na lue he veʻe halanga lēlué. Mahalo pē ʻe vave ange ai ʻena aʻu ki tahí.

ʻI heʻena luelue mai ʻi he veʻe halanga lēlué, naʻe sio atu ʻa Kalolaine ki ha fanga kiʻi matalaʻiʻakau fakaʻofoʻofa. Naʻá ne tuku ange leva ʻa e nima ʻo ʻĒliká ka ne paki ʻa e fanga kiʻi matalaʻiʻakaú.

Naʻe lele muʻa atu pē ʻa ʻĒlika ia mo punopuna he halanga lēlué. Naʻá ne manako maʻu pē hono fai e kiʻi vaʻinga ko ʻení. Fakafokifā pē kuo fanongo atu ʻa Kalolaine ki ha ʻoiauē. ʻI he ʻai ke ne tafoki hake ʻo sio pe ko e hā e meʻa naʻe hokó, kuo kaikaila mai ʻa ʻĒlika ia, “Kalolaine! Kalolaine! ʻOku ʻefihia hoku vaʻé. ʻOku ʻikai ke u toe lava ʻo toʻo!”

Naʻe lī ʻe Kalolaine ʻa e matalaʻiʻakaú kae lele atu kia ʻĒlika. ʻI he taimi ko ʻení, kuo tangi ʻa ʻĒlika ia heʻene mamahiʻiá mo ʻene ilifiá. Naʻe puke ʻe Kalolaine hono nimá mo feinga ke fusi ke homo hono vaʻé mei he luo naʻe ʻefihia aí. Ka naʻe ʻikai pē ke ne lava. Naʻá ne puke mai hono kongalotó ʻo feinga ke fusi ia ke ʻatā. Naʻe tangi kaikaila hono kiʻi tuongaʻané he naʻe fuʻu mamahi ʻaupito ʻa hono vaʻé. Ko e lahi ange ʻa e fusi ʻa Kalolainé, ko e lahi ange ai pē ia ʻa e tangi ʻa ʻĒliká. Fāifai, naʻe pehē ange leva ʻa Kalolaine, “ʻE ʻĒlika, he ʻikai ke u lava ʻo ʻai ho vaʻé ke homo. Te u ʻalu ʻo kumi mai ha taha ke tokoni. Tali pē heni he te u toe foki mai.”

Naʻá ne kamata lele mai, ka ʻi heʻene aʻu mai ki he afe ʻi he halanga lēlué, naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi atu ha lēlue ʻoku haʻu ka naʻe kei mamaʻo. Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Kalolaine naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha taimi feʻunga ia ke ne ʻalu ai ʻo kumi tokoni, he ko e ngaahi miniti siʻi pē kuo aʻu mai ʻa e lēlué ia, pea heiʻilo pe ʻe fakatokangaʻi kei taimi mai ʻe he tangata ʻenisiniá ia hono kiʻi tuongaʻané ke holo ai ʻo māmālie hifo.

Naʻe tafoki ʻa Kalolaine ʻo toe lele mai kia ʻĒlika. Naʻá ne fuʻu manavahē ʻaupito pea ʻi heʻene toe fusi mai ʻa e vaʻe ʻo ʻĒliká, naʻá ne fai ha kiʻi lotu ke tokoniʻi muʻa ia: “ʻE Tamai Hēvani, tokoniʻi muʻa au. ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻilo pe ko e hā e meʻa te u faí. Fakamolemole muʻa kae tokoniʻi au!”

Fakafokifā pē kuo hangē kia Kalolainé naʻe pehē ange ʻe ha kiʻi leʻo siʻi “Vete ʻa e tepi nonoʻo ʻo e suú.” Naʻe tetetete pē ʻa e nima ʻo Kalolainé ʻi heʻene vete ʻa e tepí. Neongo naʻe kei ʻefihia pē ʻa hono suú ʻi he halanga lēlué, ka ko ʻene fusi pē ʻe Kalolainé, kuo homo hake ʻa e vaʻe ia ʻo ʻĒliká. Naʻá ne tō mai kia Kalolaine pea naʻá na fakatou tō ki he kelekelé. Naʻá na puna mei he halanga lēlué feʻunga mo e afe mai ʻa e lēlué ʻi he foʻi afé ʻo fakalaka hake ʻiate kinaua.

ʻI he mavahe atu ʻa e lēlué naʻe kamata ke tangi ʻa ʻĒlika ia, “ʻOiauē, sio ki hoku suú!” Naʻe mei taʻeʻaonga e suú ia ka naʻe lava pē ʻe Kalolaine ʻo fakavetevete hake. Naʻe puke mai leva ʻe Kalolaine ʻa ʻĒlika peá ne pehē ange, “ʻOua te ke toe tokanga koe ki ho suú. Fakamālō pē koe naʻe tali mai ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ʻa ʻeku lotú. He kapau naʻe ʻikai ke ne tokoni mai ia, naʻe ʻikai pē ke u mei ʻilo ʻa e meʻa ke faí.”

Naʻe fāʻofua ʻa Kalolaine ki hono kiʻi tuongaʻané ʻi heʻene fiefia ko ʻene lava ke fakahaofi ʻa ʻene moʻuí. Naʻá na fepikinima leva mo lue fakataha atu ke fakahā ki heʻena tangataʻeikí ʻa hono tali mai ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ʻa e lotu kole tokoni ʻa Kalolainé ʻo fakafou mai ʻi he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

Fakamahino ange ʻoku tokoni ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ki he kakaí ʻi he ngaahi founga kehekehe. Taimi lahi ʻokú ne lea mai ai ki heʻetau ngaahi fakakaukaú. Ko e taimi ko ē ʻokú ne fai ai ʻení, ʻoku tau maʻu ha ongo pe ko ha fakakaukau ʻa ia ʻe lava ʻo tokoni kiate kitautolu ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa ke faí. Ka neongo ia, ʻoku i ai ʻa e taimi ia ʻe niʻihi ʻoku fanongo tonu pē ʻa e kakaí ia ki ha leʻo ʻoku lea mai kiate kinautolu mo fai honau tokoniá.

Hivaʻi pe lau fakataha mo e fānaú ʻa e lea ʻo e “Ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.”

ʻI he konga ki muʻa ʻo ha faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻe taha, naʻe fakaafeʻi ai ʻa ʻĀnita ʻe hono kaungā-meʻá ke na ō ʻo kaukau tahi. Ki muʻa peá ne toki ʻalú, naʻe hanga leva ʻe ʻĀnita ʻo tui hono teunga kaukautahi mei he taʻu kuo ʻosí. Naʻá ne ʻohovale ʻi heʻene fakatokangaʻi ʻa e lahi ʻo ʻene tupú. Pea naʻe tupu ai ha ʻikai ke lava ʻe he teunga kaukautahí ʻo ʻufiʻufiʻi hono sinó ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku totonú pea naʻe taʻefeʻunga ʻeni mo ia.

Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻĀnita ʻoku talitali mai hono kaumeʻá ke ne ʻalu ange ki honau ʻapí, pea naʻe fie maʻu ʻe ʻĀnita ia ke fakavavevave ki ai ke na vaʻinga. Ka neongo iá, naʻe haʻu ki hono ʻatamaí ha fakakaukau ʻa ia naʻe tokoni kiate ia ʻi hono fakapapauʻi ʻa e meʻa te ne faí. Naʻá ne manatuʻi ai ʻoku finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní pea mo Sīsū Kalaisi ke ne tui ʻa e teunga ʻoku taau mo feʻungá. Kapau te ne tui pē ʻa e teunga kaukautahi ko ʻení ʻo ʻalu mo ia ki he ʻapi ʻo hono kaungā-meʻá, he ʻikai ke ne ongoʻi fiemālie ai. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo pau ke ne tui ha teunga kehe.

Naʻe kumi fakavavevave leva ʻe ʻĀnita ʻa hono taʻoketé ʻo kole ange pe ʻoku ʻi ai hano teunga kaukau ʻe feʻunga mo ia ke ne tui. Naʻá na kumi ai ʻo maʻu ha teunga kaukau motuʻa ʻa ia naʻe feʻunga lelei mo ʻĀnita. Naʻá ne fakamālō ange leva ki hono taʻoketé, fetongi peá ne lele atu ki he ʻapi ʻo hono kaungā-meʻá mo ʻene fiefiá koeʻuhí ko ʻene fili ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonú.

Naʻe manako ʻa Siaosi mo hono ngaahi kaungā-meʻá ʻi he soká. Naʻa nau vaʻinga soka ʻi ʻapiako, sio soka he televīsoné pea aʻu pē ki heʻenau fakatau mai ʻa e ngaahi makasiní ʻo lau ai kau ki he ngaahi timi naʻa nau saiʻia taha aí. Naʻa nau manako he mamata soká mo talanoa pē ki he ngaahi feʻauhi mālie ʻoku faí.

Kuo ofi ʻeni ke fai ʻa e tau haú. Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siaosi ko e tau ʻeni ka mālie pea naʻá ne loto ke ne mamata ai. Ka ʻe fai mai ʻa e taú ia ʻi he televīsoné ʻi he taimi tatau pē ʻoku fai ai ʻa e lotú.

Naʻe fakakaukau ʻa hono ngaahi kaungā-meʻá ke nau nofo pē ʻo sio vaʻinga mo ʻenau ngaahi tamaí ʻi honau ʻapí. Naʻa nau fakaafeʻi ʻa Siaosi ke nau sio tau ka naʻe ongoʻi pē ʻe Siaosi ia ʻoku ʻikai ke ne fie liʻaki ʻa e ngaahi houalotú.

Naʻe kamata ke ne fifili pe ʻe lelei pē koā ke ne nofo ʻo sio tau. Ko ʻene fakakaukaú ʻeni, “Te u lava pē ʻo ʻalu ki he lotú ʻi he uike kotoa pē, ka ʻoku tuʻo taha pē ʻa e tau haú ia ʻi he taʻu. Mahalo pē ʻe ʻikai kovi haʻaku kiʻi liʻaki lotu tuʻo taha pē.”

Naʻá ne mei fakakaukau ke ne nofo he lotú mo e haʻu ki hono ʻatamaí ʻa e fakakaukau ko ʻení: “Ko e hā nai e meʻa ʻe finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní pea mo Sīsū Kalaisi ke u faí?”

ʻI he taimi naʻe tali ai ʻe Siaosi ʻa e fehuʻi ko ʻení, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e fili ke ne faí. Te ne ʻalu ia ki he lotú.

Fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe ueʻi ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻa ʻĀnita ke ne tui ha teunga ʻoku taau mo feʻungá, pea ueʻi ʻa Siaosi ke ne ʻalu ki he lotú. Naʻe fakatou muimui ʻa e ongo tamaiki ko ʻení ki he ueʻi ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní peá na moʻuiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi fekaú. Fakamahino ange ʻe ueʻi kitautolu foki ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, pea ʻoku totonu ke tau muimui kiate ia ʻaki ʻetau fili ki he totonú.

Fakamanatuʻi ange ki he fānaú ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi kinautolu ʻe heʻenau tui ʻa e mama FKT ke nau manatuʻi ke fili ki he totonú.

Hivaʻi pe lau ʻa e lea ʻo e “Fili e Hala Totonú”.

Fakamatalaʻi ange ʻoku tāpuekina lahi kitautolu ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fakafanongo ai mo talangofua ki he ngaahi ueʻi ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

Fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e fakatātā 3–52, Ko ha Tamai ʻokú ne Taʻofi ha Hoosi pea Fakahaofi ʻa Hono Fohá. Fakamatala ki hono tāpuekina ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ʻa Pulusi R. Makongikī pea mo ʻene tangataʻeikí koeʻuhí pē ko e talangofua ʻa ʻene tangataʻeikí ki he ngaahi ueʻi ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

“Ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou manatuʻi lelei ʻo kau ki heʻeku kei siʻí ko haʻaku heka atu ʻi ha hoosi ʻi ha ngoue ʻāpele. Naʻe lalata ʻaupito ʻa e hōsí pea naʻá ku ongoʻi fiemālie pē ʻi heʻeku heka ʻi he nofoʻá.

“Ka ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha naʻe ʻi ai e meʻa naʻe ilifia ai ʻeku hōsí pea lele ia ʻi he loto ngoué. Naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa e vaʻa ʻāpele ia ʻe taha ʻo taaʻi au mei he nofoʻá, ʻo homo hifo hoku vaʻe ʻe taha ʻo hū he tuʻunga ko ia ʻo e nofoʻá.”

“Naʻá ku piki mate ki he laʻi leta naʻe haʻiʻaki ha maea ki he nofoʻá, pea naʻe mei motu pē mo e laʻi leta ia ko ʻení.

“Naʻe totonu ke motu ʻa e maeá ia ʻi hoku mamafá ka naʻe kei pipiki pē. Ka toe langa lele tuʻo ua ʻa e hōsí ʻe motu ʻa e maeá pe ko haʻane homo mei hoku nimá, pea ʻe toho au ʻe he hōsí ʻo aʻu ki haʻaku lavea lahi pe mate he naʻe ʻefihia foki hoku vaʻé he tuʻuʻangá.

“Naʻe ʻikai ke toe tatali ʻa ʻeku tangataʻeikí ke ʻiloʻi pe ko e hā hono ʻuhingá, ka naʻá ne tuʻu hake pē ʻo lele.
