Ko e Fili mei ha Lisi Meʻakaí
Kuó ke ʻosi ʻalu nai ki ha falekai ʻoku ʻikai ke ke ʻiloʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e meʻakai ʻi he lisi meʻakaí? Naʻá ku ʻalu mo hoku uaifí ʻi he 2018, ki ha falekai ʻi ʻOsaka, Siapani. Naʻe lahi ha ngaahi meʻa ke fili mei ai ʻi he lisi meʻakaí, pea ko e lahi tahá naʻe ngali kehe ia kiate kimaua. Naʻe fili ʻe ha tokotaha ʻi heʻemau kulupú ʻa e kalamalí (ngūfeke). Ka naʻe ʻikai ke u saiʻia ʻi he kalamalí, ko ia naʻá ku fili leva ha meʻa kehe. Naʻe fili ʻe he tokotaha kotoa pē ha meʻa kehekehe mei he lisí. Naʻa mau saiʻia kotoa ʻi heʻemau meʻakaí he naʻa mau takitaha fili ha meʻakai naʻe ngali ifo kiate kimautolu.
ʻE lava ke hangē hono vahevahe ʻo e meʻaʻofa ʻo e ongoongoleleí ko e kai ʻi ha falekaí. ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi founga lahi ʻoku lava ke vahevahe ai ʻa e ongoongoleleí pe fakaafeʻi ha niʻihi kehe ke nau fakahoko ha meʻa te ne langaki ʻa e tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí.
ʻOku ʻikai fie maʻu ia ke fakahoko ʻe ha taha ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē.
ʻE lava ʻe he tokotaha kotoa pē ʻoku loto-fiemālié ʻo fakahoko ha meʻa.
ʻOku ʻikai fie maʻu ia ke fakahoko ʻe ha taha ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai ke ne fili ki ai.
ʻOku ʻikai fie maʻu ia ke ke kai kalamali tukukehe kapau ʻokú ke saiʻia ai. (ʻI he hili ʻeku ʻahiʻahiʻi e kalamali faka-Siapani ne tōtōatú, kuó u saiʻia ai.) Te ke lava ʻo fili ke fakaafeʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau ako fekauʻaki mo e ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi ha ngaahi founga ʻoku fakafiemālie mo fakanatula kiate koe, ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ho ngaahi talēnití mo e meʻa te ke malavá. ʻE ʻalu pē taimí mo hoʻo ʻiloʻi ʻoku toe lahi ange e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakafiemālié.
Ko Hoʻo Lisi ki he Founga Vahevahé
Sai, te ke kamata fēfē leva? Faʻu ha “lisi” ʻo e ngaahi founga te ke lava ʻo vahevahe ai ʻa e ongoongoleleí pe ngaahi fakaafe te ke lava ʻo fakahokó. ʻOku totonu ke kehekehe ʻeni mei he founga faingofuá (hangē ko ʻeku kai pateta fakapaku peke ʻaki e temata sōsí, ʻa ia kuó u saiʻia maʻu pē ai) ʻo aʻu ki he founga faingataʻá (hangē ko ʻeku kai kalamalí, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ke u tomuʻa saiʻia aí).
Faʻu hoʻo lisí mo ho fāmilí, fakataha alēlea fakauooti ʻa e toʻu tupú, kōlomú, pe kalasí. ʻAi ke ke mohu founga! Feinga ke ke fakakaukau ki ha founga ʻe 101 te ke lava ʻo vahevahe pe fakaafe ai. Fakaʻaliʻali hoʻo lisí ʻi hoʻo kalasi ʻi he Kau Finemuí pe kōlomu ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné. ʻE lava ke fili ʻe he tokotaha kotoa ha meʻa ʻe taha pe ua ʻoku fakanatula ke nau fakahoko. ʻE fakafiefia hono aleaʻi e meʻa naʻe hoko hili hono fakahoko ʻe he tokotaha takitaha ʻenau ʻekitivitī ne filí. Ko e ngāueʻi hoʻo filí ko e ngāue ia ʻi he tui, pea ʻe tokoniʻi koe ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi Heʻene ngāué.
Naʻá ku faʻu pē ʻe au ʻeku lisi ki he ngaahi founga ke vahevahe ai ʻa e meʻaʻofa ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Hili hoʻo sio ki heʻeku lisí, fakafika ia mei he faingofua tahá ki he faingataʻa taha ke ke fakahokó.

ʻOku totonu ke angamaheni mo fakanatula pē hono vahevahe ʻo e ongoongoleleí mo hono fakaafeʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau ngāue ʻi he tuí. Naʻe fakaafeʻi kimoutolu ʻe Palesiteni Lāsolo M. Nalesoni ke mou kau ʻi he kongakau toʻu tupu ʻa e ʻEikí.5 Ko hono vahevahe e meʻaʻofa ʻo e ongoongoleleí ʻi he foungá ni, ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi founga ʻe lava ke ke kau ai ʻi he ngāue maʻongoʻonga taha ʻi he māmaní. Pea manatuʻi, naʻe pehē ʻe Palesiteni Nalesoni: “Ka ʻi ai ha faʻahinga taimi ʻokú ke fai ai ha faʻahinga meʻa ʻoku tokoni ki ha faʻahinga taha pē—ʻi he ongo tafaʻaki ʻo e veilí—ʻo ke fai ha ngaahi fuakava mo e ʻOtuá pea maʻu honau papitaisó mo e ouau fakatemipalé, ko hoʻo tokoni ia ki hono tānaki fakataha ʻo ʻIsilelí. ʻOku faingofua pehē ia.”6
