Fakaʻutoʻutaʻanga ki ha Fāmili Fiefiá

Naʻá ku fili ke u fokotuʻutuʻu ʻemau efiafi fakafāmili ʻe ua hono hokó, ʻo fakatefito ʻi he tuí. Ne u kamata ʻaki hono teuteu ʻa e lēsoní mo feinga ke ako e ngaahi kī ʻo e ngaahi hiva te mau hivá ʻi he kītaá.

Ko e lēsoni ʻuluakí ne fekauʻaki mo e tuí. Naʻá ku ʻeke pe ko e hā ʻe lava ke mau fai ko ha fāmili ke fakatupulaki ʻemau tuí. Naʻa nau tali mai, “Ko e lotu, ako folofola, ʻaukai, ʻalu ki he lotú,” mo e ngaahi meʻa pehē. Ne mau tui tatau ʻoku lahi e ngaahi meʻa te te lava ai ʻo fakatupulaki ʻete tuí, ka ko e meʻa mahuʻinga tahá ko hono fakahoko kinautolu. ʻOku mahuʻinga ke ke ngāue kae lava ke fakamālohia hoʻo tuí.

Ko e lēsoni hono uá ko e ngaahi meʻafoaki fakalaumālié. Naʻá mau talanoa kau ki he fekauʻaki ʻa e tuí mo e ngaahi meʻafoaki fakalaumālié.

Ne fakaʻofoʻofa ʻaupito ʻemau efiafi fakafāmili ne fakatefito ʻi he tuí. Ne mau fakaleleiʻi ha ngaahi meʻa ʻi homau fāmilí; ne mau fiefia mo feinga ke ʻoua naʻa mau feinga pē ke fai mo ʻosi. Naʻa mau ongoʻi fakataha e Laumālié ko ha fāmili.

Ne u fakakaukau ke u ngāueʻi ʻeku tuí ʻaki haʻaku lotu ʻo kole ha tokoni mo ha fakahinohino mei he ʻOtuá. Naʻe ʻikai ke u fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ola ʻo ʻeku ngaahi lotú ʻi he kamataʻangá, ka ʻi he hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi ne u ʻilo ne mau maʻu ha melino lahi ange ʻi ʻapi.

Ka naʻe ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻeku tuí. Naʻe lavea hoku kiʻi tuongaʻane siʻisiʻí pea naʻe pau ke fai hano tafa fakavavevave, ne lavea lahi foki mo e taha hoku kaungāmeʻá, pea naʻe mamahi e monga ʻeku faʻeé mo mofi lahi ʻaupito. Naʻe tafiʻi ʻe he ngaahi tūkunga taʻemanonga ko ʻení ʻa e ongoʻi nonga ne ʻiate aú. Naʻá ku loto mamahi ʻaupito ka ne hokohoko atu pē ʻeku lotú. Ne u fakakaukau ai ki he foʻi maau ne saiʻia taha ai ʻa ʻeku kuifefiné, ʻa ia ʻoku pehē ʻoku ʻafioʻi lelei ange ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻiate kitautolu pea ʻoku totonu ke tau falala kiate Ia. Ko ia naʻá ku kamata fakaʻaongaʻi ʻeku tuí mo fai e meʻa kotoa pē te u lavá. Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai kuo ʻatā hoku tuongaʻané mei falemahaki. Ne ʻikai lahi e lavea hoku kaungāmeʻá ʻo hangē ko ʻene fuofua ʻasí. Naʻe fakaakeake mai ʻeku faʻeé.

ʻI he taimí ni, ʻi heʻeku lotua e niʻihi kehé, ʻoku ou lotu mo e taumuʻa mo e tui lahi ange ʻi ha toe taimi kimuʻá. ʻOku totonu ke tau tui ki he ʻOtuá, tautautefito ki he taimi ʻoku faingataʻa ai ke tui kiate Ia mo ʻene ngaahi palaní, pea ʻʻʻoua ʻe lāunga he ʻokú Ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e lelei tahá.

Kuó u ʻiloʻi ʻa e lahi e ola ʻo e fakatomalá ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē. Hangē ko ʻení, ne ʻi ai ha ngaahi māhina lahi ne u fai ai ha ngaahi angahala pea ʻikai te u fakatomalaʻi kinautolu, pea ne faingataʻa kiate au ke motuhi e siakale ko ʻení. Kae hili ʻeku talanoa mo e pīsopé mo e kaungāmeʻa ofi kehe, naʻá ku lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi e founga ʻo e fakatomalá mo ongoʻi fiefia mo toe ofi ange ki he ʻOtuá. ʻI he lotu mālohi mo tuku ha taimi lahi ki hono lau ʻeku folofolá, ne u ʻiloʻi ne pau ke liliu ʻa e anga ʻeku moʻuí ʻi ha ngaahi tafaʻaki lahi. ʻOku ou ʻilo he taimí ni ʻa e lahi ʻeku tupulakí koeʻuhí ko e meʻá ni. Ne u lava ʻi he aʻusia ko ʻení ke toe vāofi ange mo ʻeku faʻeé kae tautautefito ki heʻeku tamaí.

Neongo ʻoku ou kei maʻu pē e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi mo kei fai angahala, ʻoku ou lava ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e Fakalelei ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ke fakatomala pea toe vakaiʻi ʻa ʻeku fakafeangai ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē mo feinga maʻu pē ke laka ki muʻa. Te u houngaʻia ʻo taʻengata koeʻuhí ko e Fakaleleí ʻi heʻeku moʻuí.

Koeʻuhí ʻoku ou pehē ko ha faʻahinga ngāue ʻa e hisitōlia fakafāmilí, ne u fakakaukau ke ʻai haʻaku tohi hisitōlia fakafāmili pē ʻaʻaku. Ko ia ne u fakatahatahaʻi ha ngaahi tā ʻo e kau mēmipa hoku fāmilí. Ne u fai ia koeʻuhí ke lava ʻeku fānaú mo hoku makapuna uá ʻo sio ki he ngaahi fofonga ʻo ʻenau ngaahi kuí. Lolotonga ʻeku fai iá, naʻá ku ongoʻi ha nonga moʻoni he naʻá ku ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻikai ke u fai ia maʻaku pē, ka ne u fai foki ia maʻá e toʻu tangata ka hoko maí.

Naʻe faingataʻa ʻeku fuofua feinga ke fakahoko ha ngaahi ʻekitivitī fakafiefia mo hoku ngaahi tokouá mo e tuongaʻané. Ka naʻe hoko ko ha liliuʻanga kiate au ha ʻaʻahi ki he ʻOtu Moʻunga Pulū Lisí (Blue Ridge). Naʻe fakalanulanu ʻa e ngaahi laú, pea naʻe fakafiefia ʻa e paʻaké, ka naʻe toʻo atu mo maumauʻi ʻe he ngaahi lea taʻefeʻungá, tōʻonga siokitá, mo e fakamatalilí ʻa e foʻi ongo ko iá. Kimuʻa pea mau mavahé, ne u kaka hake mo hoku tokouá ki ha kiʻi foʻi tafungofunga ʻo tangutu fakalongolongo pē ʻo fakafanongo ki natula. Ko e fuofua taimi ia ʻi ha taimi fuoloa kuó ma tangutu ai ʻo ʻikai kē, ʻo aleaʻi fakalongolongo ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ka hoko maí pea mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku mau lolotonga fekuki mo iá. Naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e Laumālié, ʻo ne ʻomi ʻa e nonga ne ngalo ʻiate aú.

Ne kamata ke u feinga leva ke talanoa ki hoku ngaahi tokouá mo e tuongaʻané, ʻeke ange fekauʻaki mo honau ʻahó, fāʻofua kiate kinautolu—kehe pē ke u kau ʻi heʻenau moʻuí. Naʻá ku tokoniʻi ki hoku kiʻi tuongaʻane faingatāʻia fakaeʻatamaí siʻisiʻi tahá, ʻi heʻene ngāue fakaako mei ʻapí. Ne u tokoni ki hoku kiʻi tokoua siʻisiʻi tahá ke ngaohi ʻene fanga kiʻi kaati ako kalamá mo faʻu ha ngaahi foʻi lea ongo tatau faingofua ke ne ako maʻuloto e tuʻunga fakakalamá. ʻI heʻene siví hono hokó naʻá ne fakalaka ʻaki e foʻi poini ʻe 20 pea maʻu ai ʻene maaka māʻolunga taha ʻi he siví. Naʻe kehe mo fakafiefia ange ʻa e ongo ne u maʻu he mōmeniti ko iá ʻi he meʻa ne u ʻamanaki ki aí.

ʻOku faʻa faingataʻa ʻete kau ki ha fāmili, ka ʻi he taimi peheé ʻoku feʻunga ē ia. ʻOku tākiekina ʻe he fanga kiʻi mōmeniti iiki peheé ki ha ngaahi taimi ʻo e fiefia, vaʻinga, mo e kakata; pea kuó u ongoʻi ha uouangataha foʻou ʻi hoku fāmilí.
