ʻOku tau ʻilo mei he fakahā fakaonopōní ʻoku ʻikai ko e ikuʻanga taupotu taha maʻá e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku moʻui ʻi he māmaní ʻa e fakakaukau taʻe-feʻunga ko e hēvaní maʻá e kakai māʻoniʻoní pea ko e mamahi taʻengata ʻo helí maʻá e toengá. ʻOku kau ʻi he palani angaʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá maʻa ʻEne fānaú ʻa e foʻi moʻoni ko ʻeni naʻe akoʻi ʻe hotau Fakamoʻui ko Sīsū Kalaisí: “ʻI he fale ʻo ʻeku Tamaí ʻoku ai ʻa e ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoku lahi.”1

ʻOku akoʻi mai ʻe he tokāteline kuo fakahā ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní, ʻa ia kuo fakafoki maí, ko e fānau kotoa pē ʻa e ʻOtuá—tukukehe pē ha ngaahi fakaʻatā makehe ʻoku fuʻu tokosiʻi ia ke fakakau heni—te nau iku ʻo maʻu ha taha ʻo e ngaahi nāunau ʻo e puleʻanga ʻe tolú, ʻo aʻu ki he siʻisiʻi taha “ʻoku mahulu ange ʻi he meʻa kotoa ʻoku faʻa mahinó.”2 Hili ha vahaʻataimi ʻa ia ʻe faingataʻaʻia ai ʻa e kakai talangataʻá koeʻuhí ko ʻenau ngaahi angahalá, ko ha faingataʻaʻia te ne teuteuʻi kinautolu ki he meʻa ʻe hoko maí, ʻe toetuʻu ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē pea hoko atu ki he Fakamaau Fakaʻosi ʻa e ʻEiki ko Sīsū Kalaisí. ʻI he meʻa ko iá, ʻe ʻave ai ʻe hotau Fakamoʻui ʻofá, ʻa Ia kuo akoʻi mai ʻokú Ne “fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻa e Tamaí, mo fakamoʻui ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo ngaohi ʻe hono nimá,”3 ʻa e fānau kotoa pē ʻa e ʻOtuá ki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga ko ʻeni ʻo e nāunaú ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi holi kuo hāsino mei heʻenau ngaahi filí.

Ko ha tokāteline makehe mo ha ʻulungaanga ʻe taha ʻo e Siasi kuo fakafoki maí ko e ngaahi fekau mo e ngaahi fuakava kuo fakahā maí ʻoku nau foaki ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻa e faingamālie toputapu ʻo hono fakafeʻungaʻi kinautolu ki he tuʻunga māʻolunga taha ʻo e nāunaú ʻi he puleʻanga fakasilesitialé.

ʻOku tau ʻilo mei he fakahā fakaonopōní “ʻoku tuku ha fono ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē”4 pea ko e puleʻanga ʻo e nāunau te tau maʻu ʻi he Fakamaau Fakaʻosí ʻoku makatuʻunga ia mei he ngaahi fono ʻoku tau fili ke tauhi ʻi hotau fonongaʻanga fakamatelié. ʻI he palani ʻofa ko iá, ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi puleʻanga lahi—ko ha ngaahi nofoʻanga ʻoku lahi—koeʻuhí ke maʻu ʻe he fānau kotoa ʻa e ʻOtuá ha puleʻanga ʻo e nāunau ʻa ia ʻe lava ke nau “tauhi” fiemālie ai ki hono ngaahi fonó.

‘I heʻetau fakamatalaʻi ʻa e natula mo e ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻo e puleʻanga takitaha ʻe tolu ʻi he palani ʻa e Tamaí, ʻoku tau kamata mei he māʻolunga tahá, ʻa ia ko e tefitoʻi taumuʻa ʻo e ngaahi fekau fakalangi mo e ngaahi ouau kuo fakahā mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo fakafou ʻi he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. ʻI he nāunau “fakasilesitialé”5 ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi tuʻunga ʻe tolu,6 ʻa ia ko e māʻolunga taha aí ko e hakeakiʻi ʻi he puleʻanga fakasilesitialé. Ko e nofoʻanga ʻeni ʻo kinautolu “kuo nau maʻu mei hono fonú, pea mo hono nāunaú,” ko ia, “ko e ngaahi ʻotua ʻa kinautolu, ʻio ko e ngaahi foha [mo e ngaahi ʻofefine] ʻo e ʻOtuá”7 pea te nau nofo “ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá pea mo hono Kalaisí ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.”8 Kuo fakafou ʻi he fakahaá ʻa hono fakahā mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi fono, ngaahi ouau mo e ngaahi fuakava taʻengata ʻa ia kuo pau ke tauhi ke fakatupulaki ai ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungaanga fakaʻotua ʻoku fiemaʻú ke ʻiloʻi ai ʻa e ivi malava fakalangi ko ʻení. ʻOku tokanga taha ʻa e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ʻi he ngaahi meʻá ni koeʻuhí ko e taumuʻa ʻo e Siasi ko ʻeni kuo fakafoki maí ke teuteuʻi ʻa e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá ke fakamoʻui ʻi he nāunau fakasilesitialé, pea tautautefito ki he hakeakiʻí ʻi hono tuʻunga māʻolunga tahá.

ʻOku fiemaʻu ʻe he palani ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻa ia ʻoku fakavaʻe ʻi he moʻoni taʻengatá, ke lava ʻo maʻu ʻa e hakeakiʻí ʻi he faivelenga pē ki he ngaahi fuakava ʻo ha mali taʻengata ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ha tangata mo ha fefine ʻi he temipale māʻoniʻoní,9 ʻa ia ko ha nofo-mali ʻe iku ʻo ʻatā maʻanautolu kotoa pē ʻoku faivelengá.

Ko ha akonaki mahuʻinga makehe ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ke teuteu ki he hakeakiʻí ko e fanongonongo ko ia ʻi he 1995 ki he fāmilí.11 ʻOku fakamahinoʻi mai ʻe he ngaahi fakahā ko ʻení ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻokú ne teuteuʻi kitautolu ke tau nofo mo e ʻOtua ko e Tamaí pea mo Hono ʻAlo ko Sīsū Kalaisí.

ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻAposetolo ko Paulá ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻe tolu ʻo e nāunaú, ʻo ne fakatatau kinautolu ki he ngaahi nāunau ʻo e laʻaá, māhiná mo e fetuʻú.12 ʻOkú ne fakahingoa ʻa e māʻolunga tahá ko e “fakasilesitiale” pea ko hono uá ko e “fakatelesitiale.”13 ʻOku ʻikai ke ne fakahingoa ʻa e maʻulalo tahá, ka naʻe tānaki mai ʻe ha fakahā kia Siosefa Sāmita ʻa hono hingoá: “fakatilesitiale.”14 ʻOku fakamatalaʻi foki ʻe ha fakahā ʻe taha ʻa e natula ʻo e tokotaha ʻe vahe ki he puleʻanga ʻo e nāunau takitaha ko ʻení. Ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fili ke “tauhi ʻa e fono ʻo ha puleʻanga fakasilesitialé”15 te nau maʻu ha puleʻanga ʻe taha ʻo e nāunaú ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he fakasilesitialé ka ʻoku feʻunga ki he ngaahi fono kuo nau filí pea ʻe lava ke nau “tauhi” fiemālie ki aí. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e foʻi lea ko ia ko e tauhi, ʻoku angamaheni ke fakaʻaongaʻi ʻi he folofolá, ki he kātekina pe matuʻuaki.16 Hangē ko ʻení, ko kinautolu ko ia ʻi he puleʻanga fakatelesitialé—ʻoku fakafehoanaki ki he fakakaukau ko ia ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha kakai tokolahi fekauʻaki mo hēvaní—“ko kinautolu ʻeni ʻoku nau maʻu mei he ʻao ʻo e ʻAló, kae ʻikai mei he fonu ʻo e Tamaí.”17 Ko kinautolu ia ʻa e “kakai anga-fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻo e māmaní, ʻa ia naʻe fakakuihi ʻe he olopoto ʻo e tangatá,”18 kae “ʻikai ke nau toʻa ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻo Sīsuú.”19

ʻI ha lea ʻa Palesiteni Lāsolo M.

Ko e taimi te tau fai ai ha fehālaaki ʻi he moʻuí ni, te tau lava ʻo fakatomala pea toe foki ki he hala ʻo e fuakavá ʻa ia ʻoku fakatau ki he tuʻunga ʻoku finangalo ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ke tau aʻusiá, koeʻuhí ko Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne Fakaleleí.

ʻOku akoʻi mai ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, “ko e moʻuí ni, ko e taimi ia [kiate kitautolu] ke teuteu ai ke feʻiloaki mo e ʻOtuá.”25 Ka ko e fakangatangata faingataʻa ko ia ki he “moʻui ní,” naʻe foaki ki ai ha puipuituʻa fakatuʻamelie (ka ʻoku fakangatangata ia ki ha niʻihi) ʻe he meʻa naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí kia Palesiteni Siosefa F. Sāmitá, ʻa ia ʻoku lekooti ʻi he taimí ni ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 138. Naʻe tohi ʻe he palōfitá ʻo pehē, “Naʻá ku mamata ai ko e kaumātuʻa angatonu ko ia ʻo e kuonga ko ʻení, ʻi heʻenau mavahe atu mei he moʻui fakamatelié, ʻoku hoko atu ai pē ʻa ʻenau ngāué ʻi hono malanga ʻaki ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo e fakatomalá mo e huhuʻí, tuʻunga ʻi he feilaulau ʻa e ʻAlo pē Taha naʻe Fakatupu ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo kinautolu ʻoku nau ʻi he fakapoʻulí pea nau kei haʻisia ʻi he angahalá ʻi he fuʻu maama lahi fau ʻo e ngaahi laumālie ʻo e kau pekiá.
