Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa Sipenisā W. Kimipoló

Ko e ʻapasiá ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ʻulungāanga fakataimi ia ke toki fai pē he Sāpaté ka ko ha ʻulungāanga ʻo e līʻoa hokohoko ki he ʻOtuá.

Naʻe fai hono fakamatalaʻi ʻo e ʻapasiá ʻo pehē ko ha “ongo pe ko ha anga fakaʻapaʻapa lahi, ʻo e ʻofa, pea mo e ʻaʻapa ki ha meʻa ʻoku toputapu.” Ko hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe taha hono ʻuhinga ʻo e ʻapasiá, ko e līʻoa ki he ʻOtuá.

Kuo fakahā ʻe he tokolahi ʻo hotau kau takí ko e ʻapasiá ko e taha ia ʻo e ngaahi ʻulungāanga māʻolunga taha ʻo e laumālié, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakahā ʻa e tui moʻoni ki he ʻOtuá pea mo ʻene māʻoniʻoní, anga fakafonua ʻoku māʻolungá, pea mo ha ʻofa ki he ngaahi meʻa lelei ange ʻo e moʻuí. …

ʻOku tatau ʻa e ʻapasiá mo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni kehe ko ia ʻo e ongoongoleleí, ʻa ia ʻokú ne ʻomi ha fiefia ʻoku toe lahi angé.

Kuo pau ke tau manatuʻi ʻoku ʻikai ko e ʻapasiá ko ha ʻulungāanga fakalongolongo mo fakataimi pē ʻoku tau fakahoko he Sāpaté. ʻOku kau ʻi he anga ʻapasia moʻoní ʻa e fiefiá, pea pehē ki he ʻofá, fakaʻapaʻapá, loto houngaʻiá, mo e manavahē ki he ʻOtuá. Ko ha angalelei ia ʻoku totonu ke hoko ko ha konga ʻo ʻetau moʻuí. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku totonu ke hoko e kakai Siasí ko e kakai moʻui ʻapasia taha pē kinautolu ʻi māmani kātoa.⁴

ʻOku totonu ke tau ʻapasia ki he Tamaí mo Hono ʻAló pea ki Hona huafa māʻoniʻoní.

Ko e ʻapasia ki he Tamaí mo e ʻAló ko ha meʻa mahuʻinga ia ʻoku fie maʻu he ʻulungāanga ʻo kinautolu ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e puleʻanga fakasilesitialé. ʻOku hā ʻi he vahe 76 ʻo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá, ʻa ē ʻoku ʻiloa “Ko e Mata-Meʻa-Hā-Maí,” ʻa ia naʻe foaki kia Siosefa Sāmita mo Sitenei Likitoni ʻi Fēpueli ʻo e 1832, ʻo pehē:

“Pea ko ia ne ma mamata ki he nāunau ʻo e nāunau fakalangí, ʻa ia ʻoku hiliō ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē—ʻa ia ʻoku pule ai ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻio ʻa e Tamaí, ʻi hono ʻafioʻangá ʻo taʻe ngata pea taʻe ngata;

“Ko kinautolu ʻoku nonofo ʻi hono ʻaó ko e siasi ʻa kinautolu ʻo e ʻUluaki Fānaú; pea nau mamata ʻo hangē ko hono mamataʻi ʻa kinautolú, pea nau ʻilo ʻo hangē ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻa kinautolu, kuo nau maʻu mei hono fonú pea mei heʻene ʻaloʻofá.

“Pea ʻokú ne ngaohi ʻa kinautolu ke tatau ʻi he mālohi mo e māfimafi pea mo e pule.” (T&F 76:92–95.)

ʻOku tataki kitautolu ʻe ha fakahā ʻe taha ʻo onopooni ke tau ʻapasia ki he huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá; ʻoku fakahā mai ke ʻoua naʻa tau lea kovi ki he huafa ʻo e Tamaí, pea ke ʻoua naʻa fuʻu tuʻo lahi ʻa hono leaʻa ʻaki hono huafá. (T&F 107:2–4.) …

ʻOku hā heni ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi ʻulungāanga mahuʻinga taha ʻe lava ke tau fakatupulakí, ke tau ʻapasia ki he ʻOtuá mo hono huafá.⁵

Naʻe teke atu au ki tuʻa mei he loki tafa ʻo e falemahakí ʻe ha tokotaha ngāue pea humu, pea ʻi heʻene ʻitá naʻe haʻu mei hono ngutú ha ngaahi lea kapekape fakataha pē mo e huafa ʻo e Fakamoʻuí. Neongo naʻe teʻeki ke u ake ʻaupito, ka naʻe ʻikai ke u saiʻia ai peá u kole ange leva, “Kātaki! Kātaki! Ko e huafa ʻena ʻo hoku ʻEikí ʻokú ke lea kovi ki aí.”

Naʻe longomate, hili ko iá peá ne fanafana mai, “Kātaki fakamolemole.” Kuo ngalo ʻiate ia he mōmēniti ko ʻení kuo ʻosi fekau ʻe he ʻEikí ki hono kakaí kātoa, “ ʻOua naʻá ke takuanoa ʻa e huafa ʻo [e ʻEiki] ko ho ʻOtuá; koeʻuhí ʻe ʻikai lau ʻe [he ʻEikí] ko e taʻe halaia ia” (ʻEkesōtosi 20:7). …

ʻOku ʻi ai ha niʻihi ʻoku nau ʻita ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi heʻenau fanongo mo mamata he ngaahi faivá pe telefoní ki hono takuanoa taʻe ʻuhinga ʻo e ngaahi huafa ʻo e ʻEiki ko hotau ʻOtuá. ʻOku fakaʻaongaʻi e ngaahi huafa ʻo e Huhuʻí ʻi he kalapú, ʻi he fāmá, ʻi he ngaahi feohiʻanga fakasōsialé, ʻi he pisinisí, pea ʻi he tapa kotoa pē ʻo e moʻuí ʻi he fiematamuʻá mo e faiangahalá. ʻOku totonu ke manatuʻi ʻe kitautolu ʻoku taʻe fakakaukau mo taʻe tokangá, pea angakovi mo talangataʻá, he ʻikai lava ke tau takuanoa e huafa ʻo e ʻEikí taʻe tauteaʻi kitautolu. ʻIkai ʻoku tau fakaafeʻi pē ʻa e ʻauhá kiate kitautolu ʻi heʻetau ʻuliʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku māʻoniʻoni mo toputapú, ʻo aʻu ki heʻetau ngāue ʻaki taʻe fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa e ngaahi huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi heʻetau talanoa fakaʻahó? …

Ko ha meʻa fakamanavahē ia ki ha tangata ke ne ngāue ʻaki taʻe fakaʻapaʻapa ʻa e ngaahi huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá. Pea ʻoku kau heni ʻa hono ngāue ʻaki e huafa ʻo e ʻEikí taʻe ha mafaí, he ʻoku tokolahi ha kakai ʻoku nau pehē ʻoku nau maʻu fakahā pea ʻi ai tokua honau mafai ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu fakahangatonu ia mei he ʻEikí.

Kuo teʻeki tuku ʻe he kau palōfitá hono valokiʻi ʻo e angahala mamafa ko ʻení ʻi he ngaahi kuonga kotoa pē. Naʻe ui ʻe he palōfita ko ʻĪsaiá ʻa kinautolu “ ʻoku fuakava ʻi he huafa ʻo [e ʻEikí], pea lea ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsilelí, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he moʻoní, pe ʻi he māʻoniʻoní” ke nau fakamatala pea fakatomala” (ʻĪsaia 48:1). …

Kuo pau ke hoko ia ko e konga ʻo ʻetau moʻuí ʻi heʻetau kau ki he Siasí ke tau lea fakaʻapaʻapa ki he huafa ʻo e ʻEikí. Ko e fakatātā ʻeni, ko kitautolu kakai Siasi angaleleí, ʻoku ʻikai ke tau ifi tapaka. ʻOku ikai ke tau inu kava mālohi. ʻOku ʻikai ke tau ngāue ʻaki ʻa e tií mo e kofí.

Ka ʻoku ʻikai ke ngata pē ai hotau fatongiá. Ke fakahoko ʻa e māʻoniʻoní, kuo pau ke tau lea ʻaki ʻa e huafa ʻo hotau ʻEikí ʻi he ʻapasia mo e anga māʻonioni ʻi heʻetau ngaahi leá, ngaahi fakamatalá, pea ʻi heʻetau ngaahi fealēleaʻakí. …

Naʻe fakahaohaoaʻi ʻe Sīsū ʻa ʻene moʻuí ʻo ne hoko ko hotau Kalaisi. Naʻe tafe ʻa e taʻataʻa mahuʻinga ʻo ha ʻotua, pea naʻá ne hoko ko hotau Fakamoʻui; naʻá Ne foaki ʻEne moʻui kuo fakahaohaoaʻí, peá Ne hoko ko hotau Huhuʻi; naʻe hanga ʻe he fakalelei naʻá Ne fai maʻatautolú ʻo ʻai ke tau toe lava ʻo foki ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní, kae hili ange ko iá, ʻoku ʻikai fakaʻatuʻi, pea ʻikai houngaʻia ai ʻa kinautolu ʻoku ʻaonga ki aí!

ʻOku totonu ke hoko ʻa e ngaahi temipalé, ngaahi falelotú, mo e ngaahi ʻapí ko ha ngaahi feituʻu ʻo e ʻapasia.

Kuo fakahinohino kitautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi ha toe fakahā ʻi onopooni ʻo kau ki ha feituʻu mahuʻinga lahi ʻe taha, ke tau fakahā ʻa e moʻui ʻapasia totonú ʻi hono fale māʻoniʻoní. ʻI he fakahā mahuʻinga ko ia naʻe foaki kia Siosefa Sāmita pea ʻiloa ko e lotu fakatapui ʻo e Temipale Ketilaní, naʻe ʻomi ai ha fakahinohino ʻo pehē ʻoku totonu ke hoko ʻa e fale ko ʻení, fakataha mo e ngaahi temipale toputapu kehe kuo fokotuʻu ki he ʻEikí, ko ha feituʻu ʻo e ʻapasia kiate Ia.
