Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa Sipenisā W. Kimipoló

ʻOku talaʻofa mai ʻe he ʻEikí ha ngaahi tāpuaki maʻongoʻonga ka tau vahevahe ʻa e ongoongoleleí mo e niʻihi kehé.

Ko e taimi ko ē ʻoku tau fakahoko ai ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekaú, ʻoku tau fakafetuʻutaki ai ha niʻihi ke akoʻi, ʻi heʻetau ō mo e kau faifekaú ʻi honau ngaahi taimi akoʻí, ko ha taimi fakalaumālie ia ʻoku tau aʻusia ai ha ngaahi meʻa fakafiefia. ʻOku fakafiefia pea fakafiemālie. ʻOku ʻikai toe lau ʻa e lahi ʻo e ngaahi houa naʻe fakamolekí, ʻa e feinga naʻe faí, ʻa e fifilí, ʻi he taimi ko ia ʻoku fakatomala ai ha foʻi laumālie ʻe taha peá ne fakahā ʻa ʻene tuí mo ʻene loto ke papitaisó. Fakakaukau angé ki he fiefia te ke ongoʻi ʻi heʻenau pehē atu, “Ko e taimi ʻoku mou ʻi heni ai, pea tau talanoa ki he ngaahi meʻa ko ʻení, hangē ʻoku mau toe manatu ki ha ngaahi meʻa ne mau ʻiloʻi ki muʻá,” pe, “He ʻikai ke mou mavahe mei heni kae ʻoua kuo mou talamai e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻo kau ki he Siasi kuo toe fakafoki maí.”³

ʻOku ʻomi ʻe heʻetau vahevahe ʻo e ongoongoleleí mo e niʻihi kehé ʻa e melinó mo e fiefiá ki heʻetau moʻuí, ʻoku toe lahi ange ai ʻetau ʻofa ki he niʻihi kehé, toe lahi ange ai ʻetau tuí, fakamālohia hotau vā fetuʻutaki mo e ʻEikí, pea fakalahi mo e mahino ʻoku tau maʻu fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí.⁴

Kuo talaʻofa mai ʻe he ʻEikí ha ngaahi tāpuaki maʻongoʻonga maʻatautolu ʻo fakatatau mo ʻetau vahevahe ko ia ʻo e ongoongoleleí mo e niʻihi kehé. Te tau maʻu tokoni mei he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e veilí ʻi he taimi ʻoku hoko ai e ngaahi mana fakalaumālié. Kuo fakahā mai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻe toe vave ange hono fakamolemoleʻi ʻo ʻetau ngaahi angahalá kapau te tau ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi laumālié kia Kalaisi pea tuʻumaʻu ʻi hono fakahoko ʻo ʻetau fakamoʻoní ki māmani, pea ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tau feinga kotoa pē ke maʻu mo ha tokoni makehe ki hono fakamolemoleʻi ʻo ʻetau ngaahi angahalá. (Vakai, T&F 84:61.) ʻOku talamai kiate kitautolu ʻi he taha ʻo e ngaahi potufolofola mahuʻinga taha kau ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ʻa e vahe 4 ʻo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá, kapau te tau tauhi ki he ʻEikí ʻi hono fakahoko ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekaú “ ʻaki [hotau] lotó kotoa, mo e ivi mo e ʻatamai pea mo e mālohi,” te tau “tuʻu taʻe halaia ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he ʻaho fakamuí” (veesi 2).

Pea naʻe hoko atu e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo pehē:

“Pea kapau leva te mo ngāue ʻi homo ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi he kalanga ʻaki ʻa e fakatomalá ki he kakaí ni, pea ʻomi ʻa e foʻi toko taha pē kiate au, hono ʻikai lahi ʻa hoʻomo fiefia fakataha mo iá ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo ʻeku Tamaí!

“Pea ko ʻeni, kapau ʻe lahi ʻa hoʻomo fiefia mo e foʻi toko taha kuó mo ʻomi kiate au ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo ʻeku Tamaí, hono ʻikai lahi hoʻomo fiefiá ʻo kapau te mo ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi laumālie toko lahi kiate au!” T&F 18:15–16.)

Kapau pē ā ʻe ngāue ha tokotaha ʻi he kotoa ʻo hono ngaahi ʻahó pea ʻomi mo fakamoʻui ha foʻi laumālie pē ʻe taha! Toki meʻa fakafiefia ē! Ko e foʻi laumālie ʻe taha! Meʻa mahuʻinga moʻoni ia! Ke foaki mai ʻe he ʻEikí ha ʻofa pehē ki he ngaahi laumālié!⁵

Kuo ʻosi tuku ʻe he ʻEikí ha fatongia ki he kāingalotu kotoa pē ʻo e Siasí ke nau hoko ko ʻEne kau talafekau.

ʻOku ou fakaʻamu ange ʻe au ʻe lava ke toe lelei ange mo tau faitotonu ange ʻi hono fakatō ki he loto ʻo e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ʻa e mahino ko iá, kapau ʻoku motuʻa feʻunga ha taha ke ne hoko ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí, tā ʻokú ne motuʻa feʻunga ia ke hoko ko ha faifekau; pea ʻoku ʻikai fie maʻu ke vaheʻi ia ki he uiuiʻi ko ʻení. Ko e fatongia mo e uiuiʻi ia ʻo e mēmipa kotoa pē ke ne ʻave ʻa e ongoongoleleí kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau feohí. ʻOku mau loto ke fakahoko ʻe he tangata, fefine, mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa hono fatongia totonú. ʻOku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ʻaupito ʻeni.

Ko ʻeni, ko ha kakai femoʻuekina kitautolu; ka naʻe ʻikai folofola pehē mai ʻa e ʻEikí, “Kapau te ke faingamālie peá ke fakakaukau muʻa ke malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí.” Ka naʻá Ne folofola ʻo pehē, “Tuku ke akó ni ʻo ʻilo ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻa hono fatongiá” (T&F 107:99.) pea “Vakai … ʻoku taau mo e tangata kotoa pē kuo lea fakatokanga ki aí ke ne lea fakatokanga ange ki hono kaungāʻapí” (T&F 88:81.)

Kuo pau ke tau manatuʻi ʻoku tau kau mo e ʻEikí ʻi he meʻá ni. Ko Ia hotau tokoní. Te Ne fakaava mai ʻa e foungá he ko ia naʻá Ne foaki mai ʻa e fekaú.⁶
