Mei he Moʻui ʻa Kōtoni B. Hingikelií

ʻI ha efiafi ʻe taha ʻi ha tangutu fakalongolongo fakataha ʻa Palesiteni mo Sisitā Hingikelī, kuo pehē ange ʻa Sisitā Hingikelī, “Kuó ke tuku maʻu pē ke u fai hoku lotó, pea kuó u ʻofa kiate koe he meʻa ko iá.”¹ Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī fekauʻaki mo e lea ko ia hono uaifí, “Kuó u feinga ke u fakatokangaʻi fakafoʻituitui pē [ia], hono ʻulungāngá, ʻene ngaahi fie maʻú, hono puipuituʻá, mo ʻene ngaahi fakaʻamú. Tuku ke ne tauʻatāina. ʻIo, tuku ke ne tauʻatāina! Tuku ke ne fakatupulaki hono ngaahi talēnití. Tuku ke ne fai e meʻá ʻi heʻene foungá. Mavahe ki he tafaʻakí, peá ke ofo ʻi he meʻa ʻokú ne faí.”² Naʻe poupou pehē mo Sisitā Hingikelī ki hono husepānití—ʻi hono tuʻunga ko e tamaí, meʻa naʻe mahuʻingaʻia fakafoʻituitui aí, pea mo ʻene ngaahi ngāue kehekehe ʻi he Siasí.

Ko e konga lahi taha ʻo e ngaahi taʻu ʻo ʻena tupu haké, naʻe nofo ʻa Kōtoni B. Hingikelī mo Māsilī Pei ʻi he uooti tatau, pea ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu lahi, naʻá na nofo fehāngaaki he ongo kauhalá. Naʻe pehē ki mui ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī, “Naʻá ku fuofua fakatokangaʻi ia ʻi he Palaimelí.” “Naʻá ne fai ha laukonga. ‘ʻOku ʻikai ke u ʻilo pe ko e hā e meʻa naʻe hoko kiate aú, ka naʻe ʻikai toe ngalo ia. Pea tupu ai ʻo hoko ko ha finemui hoihoifua, peá u maʻu e fakakaukau lelei ke mali mo ia.”³

Naʻá na fuofua teiti—ʻi ha hulohula faka-Siasi—ʻi he taʻu 19 ʻa [Kōtoní] kae taʻu 18 ʻa [Māsilī]. Naʻe talaange ʻe Māsilī ki heʻene faʻeé ʻi heʻene ʻosí, “ʻE hoko e talavoú ni ko ha taha mahuʻinga.”⁴ Naʻe hoko atu e tupulaki ʻena feohí ʻi he lolotonga ako ʻa Kōtoni he ʻUnivēsiti ʻo ʻIutaá. Pea ʻi he 1933, ko e ʻosi ia e taʻu ʻe taha ʻene ʻosi mei he akó, kuo ui ia ke ngāue fakafaifekau ki ʻIngilani. Ko e taimi naʻe foki mai ai ʻi he 1935, ne hoko atu ʻena kaumeʻá, pea ʻi he 1937, naʻá na mali ai ʻi he Temipale Sōlekí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sisitā Hingikelī ʻi heʻene manatu ki he konga kimuʻa ʻo ʻena nofo malí:

“Naʻe siʻi ʻa e paʻangá, ka naʻá ma fonu ʻi he ʻamanaki mo e fakatuʻamelie. Naʻe ʻikai fakafiefia maʻu pē ngaahi fuofua ʻaho ko iá, ka naʻe fonu ʻi he loto fakapapau mo e holi lahi ke fokotuʻu ha ʻapi fiefia. Naʻá ma feʻofaʻaki, ʻoku ʻikai ha veiveiua he meʻa ko iá. Ka naʻe pau foki ke ma feʻilongaki. Te u pehē kuo pau ke feʻilongaki ʻa e mātuʻa mali kotoa pē.

“Naʻá ku fakatokangaʻi ʻi he kamataʻangá pē ʻe sai ange ke u feinga lahi ke ma feangainga kae ʻikai feinga taʻetuku ke feliliuaki—he naʻá ku ʻiloʻi naʻe taʻemalava. … Kuo pau ke ʻi ai ha kiʻi fefakaʻatuʻiʻaki, pea mo ha femahinoʻaki lahi, kae maʻu ha ʻapi fiefia.”⁵

Naʻe ui ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ko ha Taki Māʻolunga ʻi he 1958, pea ʻi he lolotonga ʻo e ngaahi fuofua taʻu ʻo ʻene ngāué, naʻe meimei ke nofo pē ʻa Sisitā Hingikelī ʻi ʻapi ʻo tokangaʻi ʻena fānau ʻe toko nimá kae fefonongaʻaki [ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī] ia ʻi he ngaahi ngāue ʻa e Siasí. Ko e taimi naʻe lalahi ai ʻena fānaú, naʻe faʻa fononga fakataha ʻa e fāmili Hingikelií—ko ha meʻa naʻa nau mataʻikoloa ʻaki. Naʻe hoko e taʻu 40 ʻo ʻena nofomalí ʻi ʻEpeleli 1977, lolotonga haʻana fononga lōloa ke feʻiloaki mo e Kāingalotu ʻi ʻAositelēliá. Ko e ʻaho ko iá, naʻe tohi ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻi heʻene tohinoá ʻo pehē:

“Ko e ʻaho ní ʻokú ma ʻi Peefi ʻi ʻAositelēlia, pea ʻoku fakafofongaʻi ʻe heʻema ʻi hení ʻa e meʻa kuo fakahoko ʻe he ngaahi taʻu kuo hilí kiate kimauá. Naʻá ma fakamoleki ʻe ʻahó he fakataha mo e kau faifekau ʻo e Misiona ʻAositelēlia Pēfí. Ko ha ʻaho fakaʻofoʻofa he ne ma fanongo ai ki ha ngaahi fakamoʻoni mo ha fakahinohino. Naʻe foaki ʻe he kau faifekaú kia Māsilī ha pine matalaʻiʻakau, ko ha meʻa naʻe ʻikai keu maʻu ha taimi ke fakatau maʻana.

“Ne ma mei lava ke hiki ha tohi lōloa ʻo e taʻu ʻe 40 kuo hilí. … Ne ma fekuki mo ha ngaahi faingataʻa mo e ngaahi palopalema. Ka ko e fakalūkufuá, ne lelei ʻa e moʻuí. Kuo tāpuekina fakaofo kimaua. ʻOku kamata ha taha ʻi he faʻahinga taʻu ko ʻení ke ne ongoʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo ʻitānití pea mo e mahuʻinga ʻo e feohi taʻengatá. Kapau ne ma ʻi ʻapi he pooni, mahalo te ma fakahoko ha faʻahinga maʻu meʻatokoni fakafāmili efiafi. Ka, ʻokú ma mamaʻo mei ʻapi ʻi he ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí, pea ko ha aʻusia fakafiefia ia.”⁶

ʻOsi ha taʻu ʻe uofulu mā ua mei ai, lolotonga ʻene hoko ko e Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí, ne fai ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī ha tohi kia Sisitā Hingikelī ʻo fakahaaʻi ʻene ngaahi ongo ʻi he ʻosi ʻeni e taʻu ʻe 60 ʻo ʻena nofomalí. Naʻá ne pehē, “Kuó u fakamahuʻingaʻi lahi hoʻo hoko ko hoku hoá.” “Kuó ta fakaʻau fakataha ʻeni ʻo motuʻa, pea kuo hoko ia ko ha aʻusia fakafiefia. … Kapau ʻe aʻu mai e nima ʻo maté ki ha taha ʻiate kitaua ʻi ha ʻaho he kahaʻú, ʻe ʻi ai ʻa e loʻimata, ʻio, ka ʻe ʻi ai foki mo e fakamahino fakalongolongo mo pau ʻo ha toe fakataha mo e feohi taʻengata.”⁷

ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 2004, lolotonga e foki mai ʻa e fāmili Hingikelií mei hono fakatapui ʻo e Temipale ʻAkalā Kaná, ne tō ʻa Sisitā Hingikelī heʻene ongosiá. Naʻe ʻikai toe foki mai hono iví peá ne mālōlō ai pē he ʻaho 6 ʻo ʻEpeleli 2004. Naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻi he ʻosi ha māhina ʻe ono mei ai, ʻi he konifelenisi lahi ʻo ʻOkatopá:

“ʻI heʻeku puke hono nimá mo sio ki he mahuʻi atu ʻa e moʻui fakamatelié mei hono ʻuluʻulutuhú, te u talaatu, naʻe ongo kiate au. Naʻá ne hoko ko e taʻahine naʻá ku fakaʻānaua ke u mali mo iá, kimuʻa peá ma malí. … Naʻe hoko ia ko hoku hoa ʻofaʻanga ʻo laka hake ʻi ha vahetolu ʻe ua ʻo ha senituli, ko hoku hoa tuʻunga tatau ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻEikí, ka ko hoku pule moʻoní. Ka ʻi hoku taʻu motuʻa ko ʻení, kuó ne toe hoko pē ko e taʻahine moʻoni ʻoku ou fakaʻānaua ki aí.”⁸

Naʻe fakamālohia ʻa Palesiteni Hingikelī ʻi heʻene mamahí, ʻe heʻene ʻilo kuo ʻosi silaʻi ia mo Māsilī ki ʻitānití. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku mātuʻaki fakamamahi moʻoni ke mole siʻa hoa ʻofeina lahi ne te kaungā fononga lōloa mo ia ʻi he ʻalomālié mo e ʻalotāmakí.” “ʻOku ʻi ai ha faʻahinga taʻelata lahi ʻoku fakaʻau ke toe lahi ange. ʻOkú ne fakamamahiʻi taʻetuku e moʻui ʻa ha taha. Ka ʻi he lōngonoa ʻo e poó, ʻoku ongona ha fanafana leʻosiʻi ʻoku pehē, ʻ‘Oku lelei e meʻa kotoa. ʻOku lelei ʻa e meʻa kotoa.’ Pea ʻoku ʻomai ʻe he leʻo ko ia mei he taʻeʻiloá ha nonga, ha fakapapau mahino, mo taʻetūkua ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngataʻangá ʻa e maté, ʻoku hoko atu ʻa e moʻuí, mo ha ngāue ke fakahoko mo ha ikuna ke feia. ʻOku ʻomai ʻe he leʻo siʻi ko iá, neongo e ʻikai ongoʻi ʻe he telinga fakamatelié, ha fakapapau, ʻo tatau tofu pē mo e māvaé, ʻe ʻi ai ha toe fakataha fiefia.”⁹

Naʻe maʻu ʻe Palesiteni mo Sisitā Hingikelī ha nofomali fiefia mo ʻofa pea naʻe fakamālohia kinaua ʻe he “fakamahino fakalongolongo mo pau ʻo ha toe fakataha mo e feohi taʻengata.”

Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa Kōtoni B. Hingikelií

Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ʻa e nofomalí mei he kamataʻangá.

Toki meʻa fakaʻofoʻofa moʻoni ko e mali ʻi he palani ʻa ʻetau Tamai Taʻengatá, ko ha palani ʻokú ne ʻomi ʻi Hono poto faka-ʻOtuá ʻa e fiefia mo malu ʻa ʻEne fānaú pea [mo e] kei hokohoko atu [ʻa] e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.

Ko Ia hotau Tupuʻangá, pea naʻá Ne fokotuʻu ʻa e nofomalí talu mei he kamataʻangá. ʻI he taimi hono ngaohi ʻo ʻIví, “Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻĀtama, Ko e hui ʻeni ʻo hoku ngaahi huí, mo e kakano ʻo hoku kakanó: … Ko ia ʻe tukuange ai ʻe he tangatá ʻa ʻene tamaí mo ʻene faʻeé, kae pīkitai ki hono [uaifí]; pea te na kakano taha pē.” (Sēnesi 2:23–24.)

Naʻe tohi ʻa Paula ki he Kāingalotu Kolinitoó, “Ka ko ʻeni ʻoku ʻikai ai ʻa e tangatá kae ʻi he fefiné, pea ʻoku ʻikai ai ʻa e fefiné kae ʻi he tangatá, ʻi he ʻEikí.” (1 Kolinitō 11:11.)

Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he fakahā ʻi onopōní, “Pea ko e tahá, ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ʻilonga ia ʻe fekau ke ʻoua ʻe malí, ʻoku ʻikai ke tuʻutuʻuni ia ʻe he ʻOtuá, he kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e nofomalí ki he tangatá. (T&F 49:15.) …
