ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he ngaahi kavenga mafasiá ha ngaahi faingamālie ke tau fakahoko ai e ngaahi ʻulungāanga māʻoniʻoni ʻe tokoni ki hotau fakahaohaoaʻí.
ʻI he ngaahi taʻu lahi kuo hilí, ne u lue atu ai ʻi he hengihengí ʻi he ngahi hala makamaka fāsiʻi ʻo Kuseiko Peluú, ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ngaahi Moʻunga ʻAnitasí.

Ne ʻikai ko ha tangata sino lahi ʻeni, ka naʻá ne fua ʻi hono tuʻá ha tangai fefie lahi moʻoni. Ne hangē ne lahi tatau pē ʻa e tangaí ia mo e tangata ko ʻení.

Ko hono fakalūkufuá, ʻoku haʻu ʻetau ngaahi kavengá mei ha tupuʻanga ʻe tolu. ʻOku ʻi ai e ngaahi kavenga ko e ola fakanatula pē ia ʻo e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo e māmani ʻoku tau ʻi aí. ʻOku faʻa hoko mai ʻa e mahamahakí, faingataʻaʻia fakaesinó, afaá mo e mofuiké ʻo ʻikai ke tau mapuleʻi. ʻE lava ke tau mateuteu ki he ngaahi fakatamaki ko ʻení, pea taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku tau lava ʻo tala e taimi ʻe hoko mai aí, ka ko e founga maheni ʻo e moʻuí, kuo pau ke tau fehangahangai kotoa mo ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi faingataʻa ko ʻení.

Neongo pe ko e hā e ngaahi kavenga ʻoku tau fehangahangai mo ia ʻi he moʻuí tupu mei he ngaahi tūkunga ʻo natulá, faihala ʻa e niʻihi kehé, pe ko ʻetau ngaahi fehālākí pe tōnounoú, ka ko e fānau kotoa pē kitautolu ʻa ha Tamai Hēvani ʻofa, naʻá Ne ʻomi kitautolu ki māmani ko e konga ʻo ʻEne palani taʻengata ki heʻetau tupulakí mo e fakalakalaká. ʻE lava ke tokoni ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau aʻusia fakafoʻituituí ʻi hono teuteuʻi kitautolu ke toe foki hake kiate Iá.

Faá, naʻe fakahā kia Siosefa Sāmita ko e ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi ko ia naʻá ne foua ʻi he ngaahi taʻu lahi ʻi he nima ʻo hono ngaahi filí ʻe “foaki kiate [ia] ʻe he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa pē, pea … ʻe ʻaonga kiate [ia].”7 Ko e mamahi ʻoku tau foua ʻi he ngaahi ngāue fakamamahi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ko ha founga akoʻi fakamamahi ia ki hono fakaleleiʻi ʻetau tōʻonga moʻuí.
ʻIkai ngata aí, ʻi heʻetau fefuaʻaki ʻetau ngaahi kavengá, ʻe tokoni ke tau fakatupulaki ha tānakiʻanga ʻo e fie kaungā mamahi mo e niʻihi kehé. Naʻe akonaki mai ʻa e ʻAposetolo ko Paulá, ʻoku totonu ke tau “fefuaʻaki … hoʻomou kavengá, pea fakamoʻoni ai ki he fono ʻa Kalaisí.”8 Ko ia ai, ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe heʻetau ngaahi fuakava ʻi he papitaisó ke tau “loto ke fefuaʻaki ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi kavengá, koeʻuhi ke nau maʻamaʻa; ʻio, pea [ke] loto ke tangi mo kinautolu ʻoku tangí; ʻio, pea fakafiemālieʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku ʻaonga ki ai ʻa e fakafiemālié.”9
ʻOku tokoni ʻetau tauhi kakato ki heʻetau fuakava ʻo e papitaisó ke toʻo atu ai ʻa ʻetau ngaahi kavengá pea pehē ki he kavenga ʻa kinautolu ʻoku tau tokoniʻí.10 ʻOku tuʻu ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau fai e ngaahi tokoni peheé ki he niʻihi kehé, ʻi he potu toputapu. ʻI hono fakamatalaʻi ʻení, ne akoʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻo pehē:
“Naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ʻoku ke fiekaia, pea mau fafangaʻi koe? pea fieinua, pea mau foaki ʻa e inu kiate koe?
“Naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ko e muli, pea mau fakaafeʻi koe? pe telefua, pea mau fakakofuʻi koe?
“Pea naʻa mau mamata kiate koe ʻanefē ʻokú ke mahaki, pe ʻi he fale fakapōpulá, pea mau ʻalu atu kiate koe?
“Pea ʻe lea ʻa e Tuʻí, ʻo pehē ange kiate kinautolu, Ko ʻeku tala moʻoni atu kiate kimoutolu. Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fai ia ki ha taha ʻoku kihiʻi siʻi hifo ʻi hoku kāingá ni, ko hoʻomou fai ia kiate au.”11
ʻI he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa, ʻoku ʻomi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí kiate kitautolu ha poupou mālohi mo ha tokoni, pea ʻokú Ne ʻomi e fakahaofi ʻi Heʻene taimi mo e founga pē ʻAʻana. ʻI he taimi ne hola ai ʻa ʻAlamā mo hono kau muimuí mei he kau tau ʻa e Tuʻi ko Noá, naʻa nau fokotuʻu ha kolo ʻo ui ko Heilami. Naʻe kamata ke nau ngoue, langa fale mo tuʻumālie.12 Ne ʻikai ha fakaʻilonga, ne puke pōpula kinautolu ʻe he kau tau ʻa e kau Leimaná pea “ ʻikai faʻa fakahaofi ʻa kinautolu ʻe ha taha ka ko e ʻEiki ko honau ʻOtuá pē.”13 Ka naʻe ʻikai vave honau fakahaofí.
Naʻe kamata ʻe honau filí ke “hilifaki ha ngaahi ngāue kiate kinautolu mo fokotuʻu ha kau pule ngāue ke angi ʻa kinautolu.”14 Neongo ne fakailifiaʻi kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e maté ʻo kapau te nau lotu,15 ka ko ʻAlamā mo hono kakaí “naʻa nau fakahā hake honau lotó ki he [ʻOtuá]; pea naʻá ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakakaukau ʻa honau lotó.”16 Koeʻuhí ko ʻenau angalelei mo talangofua ki heʻenau ngaahi fuakava ʻi heʻenau papitaisó,17 ne fakahaofi fakakongakonga kinautolu. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí kiate kinautolu:
“Te u … fakamaʻamaʻa foki ʻa e ngaahi kavenga kuo hilifaki ki homou ngaahi umá ke … ʻoua naʻa mou ongoʻi ia ʻi homou tuʻá, lolotonga hoʻomou ʻi he nofo pōpulá; pea te u fai ʻeni koeʻuhi ke mou tuʻu ko e kau fakamoʻoni kiate au ʻamui, pea ke mou ʻiloʻi fakapapau ko au ko e ʻEiki ko e ʻOtuá, ʻoku ou tāpuakiʻi hoku kakaí ʻi honau ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá.
“Pea ko ʻeni naʻe hoko ʻo pehē naʻe fakamaʻamaʻa ʻa e ngaahi kavenga ʻa ia naʻe hilifaki kia ʻAlamā mo hono kāingá; ʻio naʻe fakamālohi ʻa kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí koeʻuhí ke nau lava ʻo fua faingofua ʻa ʻenau ngaahi kavengá, pea nau fakaongoongo ʻi he fiefia mo e faʻa kātaki ki he finangalo kotoa pē ʻo e ʻEikí.
“Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē naʻe lahi fau ʻa ʻenau tuí mo ʻenau faʻa kātakí ko ia naʻe toe ongo mai ai kiate kinautolu ʻa e leʻo ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻo folofola: Mou fiefia, he ʻi he ʻapongipongí te u fakahaofi ʻa kimoutolu mei he nofo pōpulá.”18
ʻOku mohu ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá he naʻá Ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi kitautolu mei he ngaahi haʻi ʻo ʻetau angahalá, ʻa ia ʻoku kau ia he ngaahi kavenga mamafa taha kuo tau fuesiá. ʻI Heʻene Fakaleleí, naʻá Ne mamahi “ ʻo fakatatau ki he kakanó koeʻuhí ke ne lava ʻo toʻo kiate ia ʻa e ngaahi angahala ʻa hono kakaí, koeʻuhí ke ne lava ʻo fakamolemoleʻi ʻenau ngaahi maumau-fonó ʻo fakatatau ki he māfimafi ʻo ʻene fakamoʻuí.19 Pea naʻe “kātakiʻi [ʻe Kalaisi] ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni maʻá e kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa nau mamahi ʻo kapau te nau fakatomala.”20 ʻI heʻetau fakatomala mo tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekaú, ʻe fakamolemoleʻi mo fakatauʻatāinaʻi kitautolu mei he loto mafasiá ʻi he tokoni ko e Fakamoʻuí pē ʻe taha ʻokú Ne lava ʻo foakí, “ ʻilonga ia ʻe fakatomalá, te ne maʻu ʻa e ʻaloʻofá.”21
