Kole ʻi he Tui

ʻI he 1815, naʻe maʻuiʻui pea lanumata e motu ko Samipauá ʻi ʻInitonīsia, he ko e toki ʻosi ʻuha. Naʻe teuteu e ngaahi fāmilí ki he faʻahitaʻu laʻalaʻā ka hoko maí, hangē ko ia kuo laui toʻu tangata ʻenau fakahokó, mo fakatupulaki e ngoue laisé ʻi he malumalu ʻo e moʻunga afi ko Tamapolá.

ʻI he ʻaho 5 ʻo ʻEpelelí, hili ha ngaahi taʻu lahi ʻo ʻene longó, naʻe mapuna ai e moʻunga afí ʻo puhi mai e ʻahú mo e afí. ʻI ha maile ʻe laungeau mei ai, naʻe fanongo ha kau fakamoʻoni ki ha meʻa naʻe pā hangē ha faná. Naʻe toutou puhi siʻisiʻi pē ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho. Pea ʻi he efiafi ʻo e ʻaho 10 ʻo ʻEpelelí, naʻe pahū kotoa ai e fuʻu moʻungá. Naʻe pasika hake ha foʻi fanā afi ʻe tolu ki he langí, ʻo pahū fakataha ai. Naʻe tafe hifo ʻa e afi velá ʻi he tafa moʻungá, ʻo ne kāpui e kolo ʻi he veʻe moʻungá. Naʻe tō mai ha ngaahi tuʻoni matangi ki he feituʻú ni, ʻo ne taʻaki e ʻulu ʻakaú mo tafia e tukui ʻapí.[1]

Naʻe hokohoko atu e fakatamakí ni he poó kakato ki he ʻaho hokó. Ne laumaile e konga fonua mo e tahi naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻe he efú, ʻo aʻu hono māʻolungá ki he fute ʻe uá ʻi ha ngaahi feituʻu ʻe niʻihi. Ne hangē e hoʻatā mālié ia ko ha tuʻuapoó. Naʻe fakalaka mai e ngaahi peau hoú ʻi he ngaahi matāfangá, ʻo ne maumauʻi e ngoué mo e tukui kolo ne tanumiá. Ne lau uike ʻa e ʻuha kilikili, makamaka mo e afi ʻa Tamapolá.[2]

ʻI he ngaahi māhina hokó, naʻe ongona he kolopé e ngaahi haʻahaʻa ʻo e moʻunga afí. Naʻe ofo e kakaí he fakaʻofoʻofa e tāitō ʻa e laʻaá. Ka naʻe hanga ʻe he ngaahi lanu fakaʻofoʻofá ni, ʻo puipuiʻi e nunuʻa fakamate ʻo e efu mei he moʻunga afí, ʻi heʻene tākafia e māmaní. ʻI he taʻu hokó, naʻe mafuli e ʻeá ʻo taʻepau mo fakamamahi.[3]

Naʻe hanga ʻe he mapuna ko ʻeni ʻa e moʻunga afí, ʻo fakatupu e tō lalo e fua māfaná ʻi ʻInitia, pea mate ha lauiafe mei he kōlelá, pea maumau ha ngaahi fāmili ʻe lauafe. ʻI he ngaahi fetuʻu kelekele lelei ʻi Siainá, naʻe hanga ai ʻe he ngaahi matangi ʻo e faʻahitaʻu māfaná, ʻo fetongi ʻa e ʻalomālié pea maumauʻi e ngoué ʻe he ʻuha tāfeá. ʻI ʻIulopé, naʻe hōloa ai e lahi ʻo e meʻatokoní, pea iku ai ki he fiekaiá mo e hohaʻá.[4]

Naʻe fekumi e kakai he feituʻu kotoa pē ki ha fakamatala ki he faingataʻaʻia mo e mate tupu mei he faʻahinga ʻea ngalikehe ko ʻení. Naʻe ongona ʻi he ngaahi temipale Hinitū ʻi ʻInitiá ha ngaahi lotu tāumaʻu mei he kau taki lotú: Naʻe nofotaha e taʻanga e kau punake Siainá he ngaahi fehuʻi ʻo e mamahí mo e mole kuo hokó. Naʻe tūʻulutui e kakai ʻi Falanisē mo Pilitāniá ko e ilifia telia kuo tō mai kiate kinautolu e ngaahi meʻa fakalilifu ne tomuʻa tala ʻi he Tohi Tapú. ʻI ʻAmelika Noaté, naʻe malangaʻi ai ʻe he kau faifekaú kuo tauteaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá e kau Kalisitiane talangataʻá pea ne nau fai ha ngaahi fakatokanga ke fakaake ʻaki e ngaahi ongoʻi fie kau ki ha tui fakalotú.

Naʻe ʻaukolo mai e kakaí ki he ngaahi siasí mo e ngaahi fakataha fakaakeaké he funga ʻo e fonuá, ko ʻenau hohaʻa ke ʻiloʻi e founga ʻe lava ke fakahaofi ai kinautolu mei he fakaʻauha ne tuʻunuku maí.[5]

Naʻe hanga ʻe he mapuna e moʻunga afi ʻi Tamapolá, ʻo uesia e tuʻu ʻa e ʻeá ʻi ʻAmelika Noate, ʻi he taʻu hokó. Naʻe hoko he faʻahitaʻu matalá e sinoú mo e ʻea mokoʻīʻií, pea naʻe manatua e taʻu 1816, ko e taʻu naʻe hala he faʻahitaʻu māfaná.[6] ʻI Veamoniti, ʻi he tuliki fakatokelau hahake ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, naʻe taʻu lahi ai e faingataʻaʻia ʻa ha tangata faama ko Siosefa Sāmita ko e Lahí, ʻi he makamaka ʻa e ngaahi tafungofungá. Ka ʻi he faʻahitaʻu ko iá, ʻi heʻene mātā mo hono uaifi ko Lusi Meki Sāmitá, ʻa e mae ʻene ngoué he hokohoko e hahaú, ne na ʻiloʻi te na fehangahangai mo ha faingataʻaʻia fakapaʻanga kapau te na kei nofo ai pē ai.

Kuo ʻikai kei talavou ʻa Siosefa ko e Lahí he kuo taʻu fāngofulu mā nima, pea naʻe fakatupu lotosiʻi e fakakaukau atu ia ke toe kamata foʻou ʻi ha kelekele foʻoú. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻe lava ke tokoni ange hono ongo foha taʻu hongofulu mā valu ko ʻAlaviní mo e taʻu hongofulu mā ono ko Hailamé, ke fakaʻataʻatā e kelekelé, langa ha fale pea tō e ngoué mo fai e ututaʻú. Naʻe lahi feʻunga hono ʻofefine ko Sōfoloniá ke tokoni kia Lusi ʻi heʻene ngāue ʻi fale mo e fāmá. Naʻe kamata foki ke toe ʻaonga mo hono ongo foha iiki ange ko Samuela taʻu valú, pea mo Uiliami taʻu nimá, pea ʻe ʻi ai e ʻaho ʻe lahi feʻunga ai ʻa e kiʻi taʻahine taʻu tolu ko Kefiliní pea mo e pēpē toki fāʻeleʻi ko Toni Kālosí ke tokoni.

Ka ko ha talanoa kehe ia ʻa hono foha ʻi loto, taʻu hongofulu ko Siosefa ko e Siʻí. ʻI he taʻu ʻe fā kimuʻa angé, naʻe tafa ai e vaʻe ʻo Siosefa ko e Siʻí ke toʻo ha hangatāmaki. Talu mei ai mo ʻene ʻalu tokotoko holo. Neongo naʻe kamata ke mālohi mai hono vaʻé, ka naʻe ketu mamahi ʻa Siosefa ko e Siʻí, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa ko e Lahí pe te ne tupu hake ʻo mālohi hangē ko ʻAlavini mo Hailamé.[7]

ʻI hono fakapapauʻi ko ia ʻe he ongomātuʻa Sāmitá te nau lava pē ʻo fetokoniʻaki ke nau moʻui aí, naʻá na tukuange leva honau ʻapi ʻi Veamonití ka nau kumi ki ha kelekele lelei ange.[8] Hangē ko e tokolahi ʻi honau feituʻú, naʻe fili ʻa Siosefa ko e Lahí ke fononga ki he vahefonua ʻo Niu ʻIoké, mo e ʻamanaki te ne fakatau fakamoʻua ha faama lelei ai. Te ne toki fekau mai leva ke ʻalu ange ʻa Lusi mo e fānaú, pea ʻe lava ke toe kamata foʻou ʻa e fāmilí.

ʻI he fononga ʻa Siosefa ko e Lahí ki Niu ʻIoké, naʻá ne lue lalo fakataha mai mo ʻAlavini mo Hailame he halá kimuʻa peá ne toki lea fakamāvae ange. Naʻe ʻofa lahi ʻa Siosefa ko e Lahí ʻi hono uaifí mo e fānaú, ka naʻe pau ke ne tokonaki maʻanautolu ha moʻui naʻe pau angé. Naʻe hanga ʻe he ʻikai ola lelei e ngaahi fakahū paʻangá, ʻo fakamasivaʻi e fāmilí pea ʻikai hanau fakavaʻe pau. Mahalo naʻa kehe ʻa Niu ʻIoke.[9]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu momoko hono hokó, naʻe toketu atu ai ʻa Siosefa ko e Siʻí ʻi he sinoú, fakataha mo ʻene faʻeé mo hono ngaahi tokouá mo e tuofāfiné. Ne nau fononga fakahihifo ki ha kolo ʻi Niu ʻIoke naʻe ui ko Palemaila, ofi ki he feituʻu ne maʻu ai ʻe Siosefa ko e Lahí ha konga ʻapi lelei pea naʻá ne tatali mai ki hono fāmilí.

Koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai lava e husepāniti ʻo Lusí ke tokoni ki heʻenau hikí, naʻá ne totongi ai ha tangata ko Misa Hauati ke ne fakaʻuli heʻenau salioté. Naʻe ʻikai ʻai fakalelei ʻe Misa Hauati ʻenau ʻū ngaʻotoʻotá ʻi heʻenau fonongá, peá ne pelepaʻanga mo konā ʻo ʻosi ai e paʻanga ne nau totongi kiate iá. Hili ʻenau fononga fakataha mo ha fāmili kehe ne huʻu fakahihifo foki ʻenau fonongá, naʻe tuli ʻe Misa Hauati ʻa Siosefa mei he salioté kae lava e ongo ʻofefine ʻo e fāmili ko eé ʻo tangutu fakataha mo ia heʻene angi e salioté.

Naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻAlavini mo Hailame naʻe mamahiʻia ʻa Siosefa heʻene feinga ke lue laló, ko ia ne na feinga ʻi ha ngaahi taimi ke fakafepakiʻi ʻa Misa Hauati. Ka naʻá ne tā maʻu pē kinaua ʻaki ʻa e kauʻi uipí.[10]

Kapau mahalo naʻe sino lahi ʻa Siosefa, naʻá ne mei feinga ke fakafepaki kia Misa Hauati. Naʻe tupu mei he lavea hono vaʻé ʻa e ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo ngāue mo vaʻingá, ka naʻe hanga ʻe heʻene loto lahí ʻo fetongi ʻene sino ngāvaivaí. Kimuʻa pea tafa ʻe he kau toketaá hono vaʻé mo toʻo atu e kongokonga ʻi he huí kuo fakahangatāmakí, ne nau loto ke haʻihaʻi ia ke ne tuʻu maʻu pe ʻoange ha kava-mālohi ke ne inu ke fakaongonoa ʻaki e langá. Ka naʻe kole pē ʻe Siosefa ke pukepuke ia ʻe heʻene tamaí.

Naʻá ne ʻāʻā lelei mo tokanga he taimi kotoa ne fai ai e faitoʻó, pea naʻe tea hono matá mo ne tautaʻa. Naʻe meimei pongia ʻene faʻeé he fanongo ki heʻene kaikailá, neongo ko ha fefine ia naʻe faʻa toʻa. Hili iá, mahalo naʻá ne ongoʻi te ne lava ʻo matuʻuaki ha faʻahinga meʻa pē.[11]

ʻI he toketu mai ko ia ʻa Siosefa he veʻe salioté, naʻe lava ke ne sio naʻe feinga pē ʻene faʻeé ke kātakiʻi ʻa Misa Hauati. Kuo nau ʻosi fononga ha maile ʻe uangeau pea kuó ne kātakiʻi fuoloa mai ai e angakovi ʻa e tangata angi salioté.

Fakafuofua ki ha maile ʻe teau mei Palemailá, lolotonga e teuteu ʻa Lusi ki he fononga ʻo e ʻaho ko iá, naʻe lele atu ʻa ʻAlavini kiate ia. Naʻe hanga ʻe Misa Hauati ʻo laku ʻenau kiʻi ngaʻotoʻotá ʻi he halá pea ʻai ke ʻalu ia mo ʻenau fanga hōsí mo e salioté.

Naʻe maʻu atu ʻe Lusi e tangatá ki ha pā. Naʻá ne talaange, “Hangē ko ia ʻoku moʻui e ʻOtuá ʻi he langí, ʻoku ʻaʻaku e salioté mo e fanga hōsí, kae pehē ki he koloa kotoa naʻe ʻomi aí.”

Naʻá ne fakasio takai holo he paá. Naʻe fonu he kakai tangata mo fafine, ko e tokolahi ko ha kau hikifononga pē tatau mo ia. Naʻá ne sio fakamamaʻu ki honau fofongá mo ne pehē ange, “ʻOku loto e tangatá ni ke ne toʻo meiate au e founga kotoa pē te u lava ke hoko atu ai ʻeku fonongá, kae liʻaki au ke mau fakaʻofa mo ʻeku fānau iiki ʻe toko valú.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe Misa Hauati kuó ne ʻosi fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe ia e paʻanga naʻe totongi ange ka ne angi e salioté, pea he ʻikai lava ke ne toe hoko atu.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Lusi, “ʻOku ʻikai hao ʻaonga kiate au. Te u tokangaʻi pē ʻe au e fanga hōsí.”

Naʻá ne tuku ʻa Misa Hauati ʻi he paá, peá ne fakapapau te ne toe fakatahaʻi ʻene fānaú mo ʻenau tamaí, tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻe hokó.[12]

Naʻe pelepela ʻa e halá pea momoko, ka naʻe tataki ʻe Lusi hono fāmilí ke nau aʻu lelei ki Palemaila. ʻI heʻene mamata ki he pipiki e fānaú ki heʻenau tamaí mo ʻuma ki hono fofongá, naʻá ne ongoʻi kuo mole atu e ongosia ʻo ʻenau fononga faingataʻa mai ki aí.

Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo nofo totongi e fāmilí ʻi ha kiʻi fale ʻi kolo pea nau talanoaʻi leva e founga ke maʻu ai hanau ʻapi ʻutá.[13] Ne nau pehē leva, ko e palani lelei tahá ke ngāue kae ʻoua kuo nau maʻu ha paʻanga feʻunga ke tipōsiti ʻaki ha konga ʻapi ʻi he konga kelekele ʻuluʻakauʻia ne ofi atú.

Fanongo Kiate Ia

Naʻe ʻā hengihengi hake ʻa Siosefa ʻi ha pongipongi he faʻahitaʻu failaú ʻi he 1820 peá ne fononga atu ki he vaoʻakau ofi ki honau ʻapí. Ko ha ʻaho tafitonga mo fakaʻofoʻofa ia, ne huhulu hifo e huelo ʻo e laʻaá ʻi he ʻuluʻakau ʻi ʻolungá. Naʻá ne loto pē ke ne toko taha he taimi ʻe lotu aí pea naʻá ne maʻu ha feituʻu lōngonoa ʻi he vaoʻakau naʻá ne toki fakaʻataʻataá. Naʻe tuku ai ʻene tokí, ʻo taaʻi ʻi ha tungaʻi ʻakau.[1]

ʻI hono maʻu ʻe Siosefa e feituʻú, naʻá ne vakavakai holo ke fakapapauʻi ʻokú ne toko taha pē. Naʻá ne hohaʻa ke lotu leʻolahi he naʻe ʻikai loto ke fakahohaʻasi ia.

ʻI he fiemālie ʻa Siosefa kuó ne toko tahá, naʻá ne tūʻulutui ai ʻi he kelekelé pea kamata ke ne vahevahe ʻa e ngaahi holi ʻo hono lotó mo e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne kolea ha ʻaloʻofa mo ha fakamolemole pea mo ha poto ke ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi tali ki heʻene ngaahi fehuʻí. Naʻá ne lotu ʻo pehē, “ʻE  ʻEiki, ko e hā ʻa e siasi te u kau ki aí?”[2]

ʻI he kamata ke ne lotú, naʻe hangē ne pupula hono ʻeleló, kae ʻoua kuo ʻikai ke ne toe lava ʻo lea. Naʻá ne fanongo ki ha taumala ʻi hono tuʻá ka naʻe ʻikai ha taha ai heʻene tafoki kimuí. Naʻá ne feinga ke toe lotu, ka naʻe toe leʻolahi ange e ongo mai ʻa e taumala ʻi hono tuʻá, ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku ʻoho mai ki aí. Naʻá ne puna ki ʻolunga ʻo tafoki hake, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne sio ki ha taha.[3]

Fakafokifā pē, kuo puke ia ʻe ha mālohi taʻeʻiloa. Naʻá ne feinga ke toe lea, ka naʻe kei maʻu pē hono ʻeleló. Naʻe nofoʻia ia ʻe ha fakapoʻuli matolu pea ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo toe sio ki he ulo ʻa e laʻaá. Ne haʻu ki heʻene fakakaukaú ʻa e loto veiveiuá mo ha ngaahi ʻata fakamamahi ke ne puputuʻu mo tohoakiʻi ai ʻene tokangá. Naʻá ne ongoʻi hangē pē ne ʻi ai ha meʻa moʻoni ne kovi mo mālohi, ne feinga ke fakaʻauha iá.[4]

Naʻe tānaki ʻe Siosefa hono iví kotoa ʻo ne toe ui ki he ʻOtuá. Naʻe veteange hono ʻeleló, peá ne tautapa ke fakahaofi ia. Ka naʻe kamata ke ne ngalo hifo ai ʻi he loto foʻi ʻi hono lōmekina ia ʻe he fakapoʻulí pea ʻamanaki ke tukuange ia ki he fakaʻauhá.[5]

ʻI he momeniti ko iá, ne hā mai ha pou maama feʻunga mo hono ʻulú. Naʻe maliu māmālie hifo ia ʻo hangē kuó ne fakamaamangia e vaoʻakaú. ʻI he nofo mai ʻa e māmá kiate iá, naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Siosefa hono tukuange ʻe he mālohi taʻeʻiloá hono maʻu iá. Naʻe hū ʻa e Laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo fakafonu ia ʻaki ʻa e nongá mo e fiefia naʻe ʻikai lava ke fakamatalaʻi.

ʻI he vakai ʻa Siosefa ki he māmá, naʻá ne mamata ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamaí, ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate ia he ʻeá. Naʻe maamangia mo nāunauʻia ange Hono fofongá ʻi ha meʻa kuo mātā ʻe Siosefa. Naʻe ui ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻaki hono hingoá mo Ne tuhu ki he Tokotaha ʻi Hono tafaʻakí. Naʻá Ne folofola ange, “Ko Hoku ʻAlo ʻOfaʻangá ʻEni. “Fanongo kiate Ia!”[6]

Naʻe mamata ʻa Siosefa ki he fofonga ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻe ngingila mo nāunauʻia tatau mo e Tamaí.

Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, “Siosefa, kuo fakamolemoleʻi ʻa hoʻo ngaahi angahalá.”[7]

Naʻe matafi atu e mafasia ʻo Siosefá, peá ne toe fakaongo ange leva ʻene fehuʻí: “Ko e hā ʻa e siasi te u kau ki aí?”[8]

Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, “ʻoua naʻá ke kau ki ha taha ʻo kinautolu.” “ʻOku nau akoʻi ko e ngaahi tokāteliné ʻa e ngaahi fekau ʻa e tangatá, ʻoku nau maʻu hono ngeʻesi ʻo e lotú, ka ʻoku nau fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa hono mālohí.”

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí kia Siosefa naʻe fuʻu tōtuʻa ‘a e faiangahalá ʻi he māmaní. Naʻá Ne fakamatalaʻi ange “ʻoku ʻikai ha taha ʻoku failelei. Kuo nau tafoki mei he ongoongoleleí pea ʻikai tauhi ʻeku ngaahi fekaú.” Kuo liliu taʻetotonu pe mole ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni toputapú, ka naʻá Ne talaʻofa ʻe fakahā e kakato ʻo e ongoongoleleí kia Siosefa ʻi he kahaʻú.[9]

Lolotonga e folofola ʻa e Fakamoʻuí, naʻe mamata ʻa Siosefa ki ha kau ʻāngelo, pea naʻe ulo lahi ange ʻa e maama naʻá ne ʻātakaiʻi kinautolú, ʻi he hoʻatā mālie. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, “Vakai, ʻoku ou haʻu vave, kuó u kofu ʻaki ʻa e nāunau ʻo ʻEku Tamaí.”[10]

Naʻe ʻamanaki ʻa Siosefa ʻe keina e vaoʻakaú ʻe he māmangiá, ka naʻe hangē ʻa e vela e ʻuluʻakaú ko e vaoʻakau ʻa Mōsesé, pea naʻe ʻikai māngia.[11]

ʻI he mōlia atu ʻa e māmá, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻokú ne tokoto foʻohake, ʻo sio hake ki he langí. Kuo foki ʻa e pou māmá, pea naʻe mole atu ʻene ongoʻi halaia mo puputuʻú. Naʻe fonu hono lotó ʻi he ngaahi ongo ʻofa fakalangi.[12] Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻOtua ko e Tamaí mo Sīsū Kalaisi kiate ia, pea kuó ne ʻiloʻi ʻiate ia ʻa e founga ke maʻu ai e moʻoní mo e fakamolemolé.

ʻI he fuʻu vaivai ʻa Siosefa mei he mata-meʻa-hā-maí ke toe ngaué, naʻá ne tokoto ʻi he vaoʻakaú kae ʻoua leva kuo foki mai ha niʻihi ʻo hono mālohí. Naʻá ne toki faingataʻaʻia ʻi heʻene feinga ki ʻapí peá ne falala ki he veʻe tafuʻanga afí ki ha tokoni. Naʻe vakai kiate ia ʻene faʻeé peá ne fehuʻi ange pe ko e hā e meʻa naʻe hokó.

Naʻe fakapapauʻi ange ʻe Siosefa kiate ia, “ʻoku lelei e meʻa kotoa. ʻOku ou sai pē au ia.”[13]

Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, lolotonga ha talanoa ʻa Siosefa mo ha tangata malanga, naʻá ne fakamatala ange ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne mamata ki ai ʻi he vaoʻakaú. Naʻe longomoʻui ʻaupito ʻa e tangata malangá ni ʻi he ngaahi fakaakeake fakalotu ne toki hokó, pea naʻe fakakaukau ʻa Siosefa te ne fanongo fakamātoato ki heʻene mata-meʻa-hā-maí.

Ne ʻuluaki hangē pē ʻene leá ha meʻanoa ki he tangata malangá. Naʻe faʻa tala ʻe he kakaí ia ne nau mamata ki ha ngaahi mata-meʻa-hā-mai fakalangi.[14] Ka naʻe faifai pea naʻá ne ʻita mo tuli tonuhia, peá ne talaange kia Siosefa, ko ʻene talanoá mei he tēvoló. Naʻá ne pehē kuo ngata e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e ngaahi meʻa-hā-maí mo e maʻu fakahaá pea he ʻikai ke toe hoko ia.[15]

Naʻe ʻohovale ʻa Siosefa, pea naʻe vave ʻene ʻiloʻi he ʻikai tui ha taha ki heʻene meʻa-hā-maí.[16] Ko e hā ka nau ka tui ange ai? Naʻá ne kei taʻu 16 pē pea ʻikai haʻane tuʻunga fakaako. Naʻá ne haʻu mei ha fāmili masiva pea naʻe ʻamanaki ʻe ngāue ki ʻuta ʻi he toenga ʻo ʻene moʻuí mo fai ha fanga kiʻi ngāue kehekehe ke maʻu ai haʻane moʻui.

Ka naʻe fakahohaʻasi feʻunga ʻe heʻene fakamoʻoní ha kakai ʻe niʻihi ke nau manukiʻi ia. Naʻá ne fakakaukau, ko ha meʻa ngali kehe ia ke lava ʻe ha kiʻi tamasiʻi taʻeʻiloa ʻi he māmaní ʻo tohoakiʻi ha fakatanga mo ha lauʻikoviʻi lahi pehē. Naʻá ne fie fehuʻi, “Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻoku fakatangaʻi ai au ʻi heʻeku tala ʻa e moʻoní? Ko e hā ʻoku fakakaukau ai ʻa e māmaní ke fakamālohiʻi au ke u fakafisingaʻi ʻa e meʻa kuó u mamata moʻoni ki aí?”

Naʻe puputuʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻi he ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení ʻi he toenga ʻo ʻene moʻuí. Naʻá ne toe pehē kimui ange, “kuó u mamata moʻoni ki ha maama, pea naʻá ku mamata ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e maama ko iá ki ha Tangata ʻe toko ua, pea naʻá Na folofola moʻoni mai kiate au, pea neongo naʻe fehiʻanekinaʻi mo fakatangaʻi au koeʻuhi ko ʻeku taukaveʻi kuó u mamata ki ha meʻa-hā-maí, ka naʻe moʻoni ia.”

Naʻá ne fakamoʻoniʻi, “naʻá ku ʻiloʻi ia, peá u ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻafioʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá, pea ʻe ʻikai te u lava ʻo fakaʻikaiʻi ia.”[17]

ʻI he fakapoʻuli ʻo hono lokí, naʻe kamata ke lotu ʻa Siosefa, ʻo tautapa fakamātoato ki he ʻOtuá ke fakamolemoleʻi ʻene ngaahi angahalá.

Naʻe fakamatala ʻa Molonai ʻo kau ki ha ʻū lauʻi peleti koula naʻe tanu ʻi ha moʻunga ofi ange pē.

ʻI he toenga ʻo e ʻaʻahi ko ia ʻa Molonaí, naʻá ne lau ange ai ha ngaahi kikite mei he tohi ʻa ʻĪsaiá, Sioelí, Malakaí pea mo Ngāué ʻi he Tohi Tapú.

ʻI he kei tokotokoto ʻa Siosefa ʻo fakakaukau ki he meʻa-hā-maí, naʻe toe maamangia e lokí pea toe ʻasi ange ʻa Molonai, ʻo ʻoange e pōpoaki tatau kuó ne fai kimuʻá. Hili iá naʻá ne mavahe, ka naʻá ne toe ʻasi fakaʻosi mai ʻo ʻoange ʻa e pōpoaki tatau pē ko hono tuʻo tolú.

Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo tuʻu ʻene ngāué, pea naʻe fakatokangaʻi mai ʻe ʻAlavini. Naʻá ne ui ange kia Siosefa, “Kuo pau ke tulituli ʻeta ngāué telia naʻa ʻikai ʻosi e meʻa ke ta faí.”[14]

Naʻe feinga ‘a Siosefa ke ngāue mālohi ange mo vave ange, ka neongo pe ko e hā ʻene meʻa naʻe faí, naʻe ʻikai pē lava ke ne aʻu hake kia ʻAlavini.

Naʻe talangofua ʻa Siosefa ki heʻene tamaí ko ia naʻá ne feinga foki ai ki fale. Ka ʻi heʻene feinga ke kolosi he ʻaá, naʻá ne tō ai ki he kelekelé, kuó ne ongosia.

ʻI heʻene kei tokoto ai ke maʻu hano iví, naʻá ne mamata hake kia Molonai ʻoku tuʻu hifo ʻi ʻolunga ʻiate ia, ʻo takatakai ʻiate ia ha maama. Naʻá ne fehuʻi ange, “Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai ke ke tala ai ki hoʻo tamaí e meʻa ne u fakahā atú?”

Naʻe pehēange ʻe Siosefa naʻe manavasiʻi telia naʻa ʻikai tui ange kiate ia ʻene tamaí.

Naʻe fakapapauʻi ange ʻe Molonai, “ʻE tui atu,” pea naʻá ne toe fakahā ange ʻa e pōpoaki tatau pē mo ia mei he pō kimuʻá.[15]

Naʻe tangi ʻa Siosefa ko e  Lahí, ʻi he fakamatala ange hono fohá ʻo kau ki he ʻāngeló mo ʻene pōpoakí. Naʻá ne talaange, “Ko ha meʻa-hā-mai ia mei he ʻOtuá. Talangofua ki ai.”[16]

Naʻe ʻalu leva ʻa Siosefa ki he tafungofungá. Lolotonga e poó, naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ange ha meʻa-hā-mai ʻo e feituʻu naʻe fūfuuʻi ai e ʻū lauʻi peletí, ke ne ʻiloʻi e feituʻu ke ʻalu ki aí.

Naʻe fakakaukau ʻa Siosefa ki he ʻū lauʻi peletí ʻi heʻene luelué. Neongo naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe toputapu ia, ka naʻe faingataʻa ke ʻoua te ne taʻe fifili ki hono mahuʻinga fakapaʻangá. Kuó ne ʻosi fanongo ha ngaahi talanoa kau ki ha ngaahi makakoloa ne fūfuuʻi pea leʻohi ʻe ha kau leʻo fakalaumālie, ka naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi naʻe kehe ʻa Molonai ia mo e ʻū lauʻi peletí mei he ngaahi talanoa ko iá.

Naʻá ne kaila, “Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ke u lava ai ʻo maʻu ʻa e tohí ni?”

Naʻe tali mai ʻe ha leʻo, “Koeʻuhí ʻoku teʻeki ai ke ke tauhi e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá.”[21]

Naʻe tafoki hake ʻa Siosefa ʻo sio kia Molonai. Tuai-e-kemo kuó ne manatuʻi e pōpoaki mei he pō kimuʻá pea mahino kuo ngalo ʻiate ia e taumuʻa totonu ʻo e lekōtí. Naʻe kamata ke ne lotu, pea naʻe fakaake hono ʻatamaí mo hono laumālié ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

Naʻe fekau ange ʻe Molonai, “Vakai.” Naʻe toe hoko ha mata-meʻa-hā-mai kia Siosefa pea naʻá ne vakai atu ʻoku ʻākilotoa ʻa Sētane ʻa ha kau tau tokolahi taʻe faʻalaua.

Mahalo naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Molonai naʻe fie maʻu ʻe Siosefa e poto mo e mālohinga hono taʻoketé ke ne aʻusia ai e tuʻunga ʻe lava ke fakafalala ange ai ʻe he ʻEikí kiate ia e ʻū lauʻi peletí.

Naʻe foki ʻa Siosefa ki ʻapi he efiafi ko iá kuó ne ongosia.

ʻI he efiafi hokó, naʻe vahevahe ange ʻe Siosefa e meʻa naʻe hoko ʻi he tafungofungá, pea naʻe tui ki ai ʻa ʻAlavini. Ko ʻAlavini e foha lahi ʻo e fāmilí, pea naʻá ne ongoʻi haʻisia maʻu pē ki he lelei fakatuʻasino ʻa ʻene mātuʻa kuo fakaʻau ke na toulekeleká.

Ka ʻi ha pongipongi ʻe taha ʻo e faʻahitaʻu fakatōlaú, ʻikai ke aʻu ʻo māhina ʻe ua mei he ʻaʻahi ʻa Molonaí, naʻe foki mai ʻa ʻAlavini ki ʻapi ko e langa lahi hono keté.

Naʻe lau ʻaho e tokoto ʻa ʻAlavini ʻi hono mohengá ʻo faingataʻaʻia he langá. ʻI heʻene ʻilo mahalo te ne mālōloó, naʻá ne ui ʻa Siosefa ke haʻu kiate ia.

ʻI he hokosia e ʻaho ke toe foki ai ʻa Siosefa ki he tafungofungá, naʻá ne ʻalu tokotaha pē. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne fakapapauʻi pē ʻe ʻoange ʻe he ʻEikí e ʻū lauʻi peletí he naʻe ʻikai ʻalu mo ʻAlavini.

Naʻe fuofua fanongo ʻa e tokotaha taʻu uofulu mā taha ko ʻEma Heili Sāmitá ʻo kau kia Siosefa Sāmitá, he taimi naʻe ngāue ai ʻa Siosefa he kaungāʻapi ʻo ʻEma ko Sosaia Sitoelí, ʻi he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ʻo e 1825. Naʻe fakangāueʻi ʻe Sosaia ʻa e talavoú mo ʻene tamaí ke tokoni ange ʻi hono kumi ha ngaahi makakoloa naʻe tanu ʻi hono ʻapí.[1] Naʻe tala ʻe he kakai ʻo e feituʻú naʻe ʻi ai ha kau kumi fonua ne nau tokangaʻi ha keliʻanga siliva pea nau fūfuuʻi e makakoloá ʻi he feituʻu ko iá he taʻu ʻe laungeau kimuʻa angé. ʻI hono ʻilo ko ia ʻe Sosaia naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa e meʻafoaki ke fakaʻaongaʻi e maka kikité, naʻá ne ʻoange ai ha vāhenga lelei moʻo Siosefa pea mo hano ʻinasi he koloa ʻe maʻú, kapau ʻe tokoni ange ki he kumí.[2]

Naʻe poupou ʻa ʻAisake ko e tamai ʻa ʻEmá, ki he ngāué. ʻI he haʻu ʻa Siosefa mo ʻene tamaí ki he faama ʻo e fāmili Sitoelí ʻi Hāmoni, Penisilivēniá—ko ha kolo ne meimei maile ʻe 150  ki he fakatonga ʻo Palemailá—naʻe hoko ʻa ʻAisake ko ha taha fakamoʻoni he taimi ne fakamoʻoni ai ʻenau ngaahi aleapaú. Naʻá ne fakaʻatā foki e kau ngāué ke nau nofo ʻi hono ʻapí.[3]

Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai kuo fetaulaki ʻa ʻEma mo Siosefa. Naʻe taʻu siʻi ange ʻa Siosefa ʻia ʻEma, laka hake he fute ʻe onó hono māʻolungá pea hangē ha taha naʻe anga ki he ngāue mālohí. Naʻe lanu pulū hono kanoʻi matá pea fōtunga maama, pea naʻa faʻa toketu ʻene lué. Naʻe ʻikai tonu ʻene kalamá peá ne faʻa lōloa ʻene fakamatalaʻi iá, ka naʻe ʻasi ʻene ʻatamai leleí he taimi naʻe lea aí. Ko ha tangata lelei ia mo ʻene tamaí, pea naʻá na fie lotu pē ʻiate kinaua, kae ʻikai ō ki he siasi ne lotu ai ʻa ʻEma mo hono fāmilí.[4]

Ka naʻe saiʻia ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma he ngāue kituʻá. Talu mei he kei siʻi ʻa ʻEma mo ʻene saiʻia he heka hōsí mo heka pōpao ʻi he vaitafe ofi ki honau ʻapí. Naʻe ʻikai fuʻu poto ʻa Siosefa he heka hōsí, ka naʻe lelei ʻaupito ʻene fangatuá mo e vaʻinga pulú. Naʻe fiefia he feohi mo e niʻihi kehé pea faʻa malimali, ʻo talanoa fakaoli mo tukuhua. Naʻe kiʻi momou ʻa ʻEma ia, ka naʻe saiʻia he fanongo ki ha talanoa fakaoli naʻe leleí pea naʻe talanoa mo ha faʻahinga taha pē. Naʻá ne manako foki he lautohí mo e hivá.[5]

ʻI he fakalau atu e ngaahi uiké naʻe toe maheni lelei ange ai ʻa ʻEma mo Siosefa, pea naʻe kiʻi hohaʻa e ongomātuʻa ʻa ʻEmá ki heʻena feohí. Ko ha taha ngāue masiva ʻa Siosefa ia mei ha vahefonua kehe, pea ne na fakaʻamu he ʻikai tokanga ki ai hona ʻofefiné kae mali ki ha taha ʻo e ngaahi fāmili tuʻumālie ʻi honau teleʻá.

Hangē naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa ʻAisake Heili ia ki he feinga ʻa Siosefa ke fakalotoʻi ʻa Sosaia Sitoeli ke taʻofi e kumí, he taimi naʻe mahino ai he ʻikai maʻu ha meʻá.[6]

Naʻe saiʻia ʻa ʻEma ia ʻia Siosefa ʻo laka ange ʻi ha toe tangata naʻá ne ʻilo, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻene feohi mo iá. Hili ʻene lava lelei ʻo fakalotoa ʻa Sosaia ke taʻofi e kumi silivá, naʻe nofo ai pē ʻa Siosefa ia ʻi Hāmoni ʻo ngāue he faama ʻa Sosaiá. Naʻá ne faʻa ngāue foki kia Siosefa mo Poli Naite, ko ha fāmili ʻe taha he feituʻú naʻe ʻi ai honau faama. Naʻá ne ʻaʻahi kia ʻEma he taimi naʻe ʻikai ke ngāue aí.[7]

Ne ʻikai hano taimi kuo hoko ʻa Siosefa mo ʻene foʻi maka kikité, ko e kaveinga ʻo e ngutu laú ʻi Hāmoni. Naʻe tui ha niʻihi ʻo e kakai matuʻotuʻa ange he koló ki he kau tangata kikité, ka naʻe ʻikai tui pehē ha tokolahi ʻo ʻenau fānaú mo e makapuná. Naʻe hanga ʻe he fakafotu ʻo Sosaiá, ʻo ʻave ʻa Siosefa ki he fakamaauʻangá ʻo fakaʻilo ia ki he founga kākā, he naʻá ne tala naʻe kākaaʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻene faʻētangatá.

Naʻe tuʻu ʻa Siosefa he ʻao ʻo e fakamaauʻangá ʻo fakamatalaʻi e founga ʻene maʻu e foʻi maká. Naʻe fakamoʻoni foki mo Siosefa ko e Lahí, kuó ne toutou kole ki he ʻOtuá ke Ne fakahaaʻi ange Hono finangalo fekauʻaki mo e meʻafoaki fakaofo ʻo Siosefa ko e tangata kikité. Faifai, pea fakamoʻoni ʻa Sosaia he fakamaauʻangá kuo ʻikai kākaaʻi ia ʻe Siosefa.

Naʻe pehēange ʻa e fakamāú, “Ko ʻene mahino kiate aú, ʻokú ke tui ʻoku lava e fakaʻiloá ʻo sio ʻi he tokoni ʻa e foʻi maká?”

Naʻe kikivi ange ʻa Sosaia, ʻikai. “ ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi lelei ʻoku moʻoni ia.”

Ko Sosaiá ko ha tangata naʻe tokaʻi ʻi he koló, pea tali ʻe he kakaí ʻene leá. Ko hono aofangatukú, naʻe ʻikai ha fakamoʻoni ʻi he hopó kuo kākaaʻi ia ʻe Siosefa, ko ia naʻe fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ai ʻe he fakamāú e tukuakiʻí.[8]

ʻI Sepitema 1826, naʻe toe foki ai ʻa Siosefa ki he moʻungá ke maʻu e ʻū lauʻi peletí, ka naʻe talaange ʻe Molonai ʻoku teʻeki ai pē ke ne mateuteu ke maʻu ia. Naʻe talaange ʻe he ʻāngeló, “Mavahe mei he kau kumi koloá.” Naʻe ʻi ai ha kau tangata angakovi ʻiate kinautolu.[9] Naʻe tuku ange ʻe Molonai ha taʻu ʻe taha ke fakafenāpasi ai ʻene ngāué ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ka ʻikai, he ʻikai pē teitei ʻoange kiate ia e ʻū lauʻi peletí ia.

Naʻe talaange ʻe he ʻāngeló ke ne ʻaluange mo ha taha heʻene haʻu hokó. Ko e kole tatau pē naʻá ne fai he fakaʻosinga ʻo e fuofua ʻaʻahi ange ʻa Siosefa ki he moʻungá. Ka kuo mālōlō ʻa ʻAlavini ia, ko ia ne puputuʻu ai ʻa Siosefa.

Naʻá ne fehuʻi ange, “Ko hai ʻa e tokotaha totonú?”

Naʻe talaange ʻe Molonai, “Te ke ʻiloʻi pē.”

Naʻe feinga ʻa Siosefa ke ʻilo e fakahinohino ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻo fakafou ʻi heʻene foʻi maka kikité. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ko e tokotaha totonú, ko ʻEma.[10]

Naʻe manako pē ʻa Siosefa ia ʻia ʻEma talu mei heʻene fuofua fetaulaki mo iá. Hangē ko ʻAlaviní, naʻe lava ʻa ʻEma ʻo tokoniʻi ia ke he aʻusia e tangata naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ke fai ʻEne ngāué. Ka naʻe mahulu hake ʻa ʻEma ia ai. Naʻe ʻofa ʻa Siosefa ʻiate ia peá ne fakaʻamu ke na mali.[11]

Naʻe hoko e taʻu uofulu mā taha ʻo Siosefá ʻi Tīsema. ʻI he kuohilí, naʻá ne tuku ke fefusiaki holo ia ʻe he ngaahi fie maʻu ʻa e niʻihi ne nau fie fakaʻaongaʻi ʻene meʻafoakí.[12] Ka ʻi he hili ʻene ʻaʻahi fakaʻosi ki he moʻungá, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo pau ke ne fai ha ngāue lahi ange ke teuteuʻi ia ke ne maʻu e ʻū lauʻi peletí.

Naʻe feohi ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma he faʻahitaʻu momoko ko iá ki he lahi taha naʻá ne lavá, pea taimi ʻe niʻihi naʻá ne kole ai e saliote sinou ʻa e fāmili Naité, ʻi he faingataʻa ko ia ke ne ʻalu ki he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Heilí he taimi sinoú. Ka naʻe ʻikai pē saiʻia e ongomātuʻa ʻa ʻEmá ia ʻia Siosefa, pea kuo ikulaunoa ʻene ngaahi feinga ke saiʻia ai e fāmilí.[14]

ʻI Sanuali 1827, naʻe ʻaʻahi ai ʻa ʻEma ki he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sitoelí, ke ne feohi ai mo Siosefa, ʻo mamaʻo mei he ngaahi sio fakalotoloto hono fāmilí. Naʻe kole mali ʻa Siosefa ai kia ʻEma, pea hangē naʻe kiʻi ʻohovale ʻa ʻEma he kamataʻangá. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻe fakafepakiʻi ʻe heʻene ongomātuʻá e malí.[15] Ka naʻe kole ange ʻa Siosefa ke ne fakakaukau pē ki ai. Te na lava ʻo mali hola leva.

Naʻe fakakaukauʻi ʻe ʻEma e kolé. ʻE ʻita ʻene ongomātuʻá heʻene mali mo Siosefá, ka ko e fili pē ia ʻaʻana pea naʻe ʻofa ia ʻia Siosefa.[16]

Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai, ʻi he ʻaho 18 ʻo Sanuali  1827, naʻe mali ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e fakamaau ʻi he feituʻú. Ne na mei ai ki Manisesitā ʻo kamata hona ʻapí ʻi he ʻapi foʻou ʻo e ongomātuʻa ʻa Siosefá. Naʻe fakalata ʻa e falé, ka naʻe fuʻu lahi e fakamole ki ai ʻa Siosefa ko e  Lahí mo Lusi, pea naʻe tōmui hono totongí ko ia naʻe mole ai ʻa e ʻapí. Naʻa nau lolotonga nofo totongi ai ki he kakai foʻou haʻanautolu e ʻapí.[17]

Naʻe fiefia e ongomātuʻa Sāmitá ke nau nofo mo Siosefa mo ʻEma. Ka naʻá na tailiili ki he uiuiʻi fakalangi ʻo hona fohá. Kuo fanongo e kakai he feituʻú ki he talanoa fekauʻaki mo e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá pea ne nau faʻa ō ʻo kumi.[18]

Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa he ʻaho ʻe taha ki kolo ke fai ha fekau. Naʻe ʻamanaki ʻene ongomātuʻá ʻe foki ange ki he kai efiafí, ko ia ne na hohaʻa he ʻikai ke ne toe foki angé. Ne na tatali ʻi ha ngaahi houa lahi pea ʻikai ke na lava ʻo mohe. Faifai pea ava hake ʻa e matapaá kae hū hake ʻa Siosefa ʻo tō tangutu he seá kuó ne ongosia.

Naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe heʻene tamaí, “Ne ke ʻi fē ai pē?”

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Siosefa, “Ne u maʻu e fakatonutonu kakaha taha kuó u maʻu heʻeku moʻuí.”

Naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe heʻene tamaí, “Ko hai naʻá ne fai atu iá?”

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Siosefa, “Ko ha ʻāngelo ʻa e ʻEikí. Naʻá ne talamai kuó u taʻetokanga.” Naʻe vave ke hokosia e ʻaho ʻo ʻene feʻiloaki hoko mo Molonaí. Naʻá ne talaange, “Kuo pau ke u tuʻu ʻo ngāue.” “Kuo pau ke u ngāue leva ki he ngaahi meʻa kuo fekau mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ke u faí.”[19]

Hili e ututaʻu he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlaú, naʻe fononga ʻa Sosaia Sitoeli mo Siosefa Naiti ki he feituʻu Palemailá, ʻi ha ʻuhinga fakapisinisi. Naʻe fakatou ʻiloʻi ʻe he ongo tangatá kuo ofi e taimi ki he taʻu hono fā ʻo e ʻaʻahi ʻa Siosefa ki he moʻungá pea naʻá na vekeveke ke ʻilo pe ʻe faifaiangé pea ʻoange ʻe Molonai kiate ia ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí.

Naʻe ʻilo foki ʻe he kau kumi makakoloa he feituʻú, kuo taimi ke maʻu ʻe Siosefa ʻa e lekōtí. Ka kimui ange, naʻe ʻi ai ha tangata ko Samuela Lolenisi naʻá ne ʻalu takai he moʻungá ko e kumi ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peletí. ʻI he hohaʻa ʻa Siosefa naʻa fakatupu ʻe Samuela ha palopalemá, naʻá ne fekau atu ai ʻene tamaí ki he ʻapi ʻo Samuelá he efiafi ko hono  21 ʻo Sepitemá ke ne siofi mo taʻofi ia kapau ʻe hangē ka ʻalu ki he moʻungá.[20]

Naʻe teuteu leva ʻa Siosefa ke ne maʻu e ʻū lauʻi peletí. Naʻe totonu ke ne ʻaʻahi pongipongia ki he moʻungá he ʻaho hono hokó, ka naʻá ne palani ke ne aʻu ki he moʻungá hili pē taimi tuʻuapoó, ke puputuʻu ʻa e kau kumi makakoloá— ʻi he kamataʻanga pē ʻo e pongipongi ko e  22 ʻo Sepitemá—ʻi he taimi he ʻikai ʻamanaki ha taha ia te ne ʻalu ai ki ha feituʻú.

Ka naʻe kei fie maʻu pē ke ne maluʻi e ʻū lauʻi peletí heʻene maʻu kinautolú. Hili e mohe ha konga lahi ʻo e fāmilí, naʻá ne fehuʻi ki heʻene faʻeé pe naʻe ʻi ai haʻane puha naʻe loka. Naʻe hala ʻa Lusi ia pea naʻá ne hohaʻa ai.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa, “Sai pē ia. “Te u sai pē au, neongo ʻene halá.”[21]

Ne ʻasi mai leva ʻa ʻEma kuo teuteu ke heka, ko ia naʻá na heka mo Siosefa ki he saliote ʻa Siosefa Naití ʻo na fononga he poʻulí.[22] ʻI heʻena aʻu ki he moʻungá, naʻe tatali pē ʻa ʻEma he salioté kae kaka ʻa Siosefa ki he feituʻu naʻe fufuuʻi ai ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí.

Naʻe hā mai ʻa Molonai, pea toʻo hake ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí mo e ongo maka kikité mei he puha maká. Kimuʻa pea hifo ʻa Siosefa mei he moʻungá, naʻe fakamanatu ange ʻe Molonai ke ʻoua naʻá ne fakahaaʻi e ʻū lauʻi peletí ki ha taha, tukukehe pē ʻa kinautolu kuo fili ʻe he ʻEikí, mo ne talaʻfoa ange ʻe maluʻi ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí kapau te ne fai e meʻa kotoa pē te ne lavá ke maluʻi ia.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Molonai, “Kuo pau ke ke tokanga mo faipau ki ho tuʻunga falalaʻangá, ka ʻikai ʻe ikunaʻi koe ʻe he kakai angakoví, he te nau palani e meʻa kotoa mo e founga kotoa te nau lavá, ke ʻave ai e ʻū lauʻi peletí meiate koe. Pea kapau he ʻikai hokohoko atu ai pē hoʻo talangofuá, te nau ikuna.”[23]

Naʻe fua hifo ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí mei he moʻungá, kae kimuʻa ke ne aʻu ki he salioté, naʻá ne fufuuʻi ia ʻi ha kupuʻi ʻakau ne ava ʻa loto, kae ʻoua kuó ne maʻu ha puha ke lokaʻi ai. Naʻá ne maʻu ʻa ʻEma pea naʻá na foki ki ʻapi ʻi he kamata ke hopo ʻa e laʻaá.[24]

ʻI he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá, naʻe tatali vekeveke ai ʻa Lusi ke aʻu ange ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma lolotonga ʻene ʻai e meʻatokoni pongipongi ʻa Siosefa ko e  Lahí, Siosefa Naiti pea mo Sosaia Sitoeli. Naʻe tā vave hono mafú lolotonga ʻene ngāué, ko ʻene manavasiʻi naʻa ʻikai foki mai ʻa Siosefa mo e ʻū lauʻi peletí.[25]

Hili ha taimi nounou mei ai, ne hū hake ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma ki fale. Naʻe sio hake ʻa Lusi pe naʻe ʻia Siosefa ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí ka naʻá ne mavahe loto manavasiʻi pē heʻene sio atu ʻoku ʻikai ke ne toʻotoʻo ha meʻá.

Naʻe muimui atu ʻa Siosefa ai. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “Fineʻeiki, ʻoua te ke hohaʻá.” Naʻá ne ʻoange kiate ia ha meʻa naʻe kofukofu ʻaki ha holoholo. Naʻe ongoʻi pē ʻe Lusi ʻi he tupenú, naʻe hangē ha ongo mata sioʻata lahí. Ko e ʻUlimí mo e Tumemí ia, ko e ongo maka kikite kuo teuteuʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ke liliu ʻaki ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí.[26]

Naʻe fiefia ʻa Lusi. Naʻe ʻasi meia Siosefa ʻo hangē kuo matafi atu ha mafasia lahi mei hono ongo umá. Ka ʻi heʻene kau fakataha mo e niʻihi kehe ʻi he falé, naʻá ne mata mamahi peá ne kai fakalongolongo pē ʻene meʻatokoni pongipongí. ʻI he ʻosi ʻene kaí, naʻe hili loto mamahi hifo leva hono ʻulú ʻi hono nimá. Naʻá ne pehē ange kia Siosefa Naiti, “ʻOku ou loto mamahi.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻa e tangataʻeiki, “ʻIo, ko e meʻapango ia.”

“ʻOku ou loto mamahi ʻaupito,” ko Siosefa ange ia, pea liliu leva hono fōtungá ʻo malimali. “ ʻOku liunga hongofulu ange hono leleí he meʻa ne u ʻamanaki ki aí!” Naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi leva e lahi mo e mamafa ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peletí peá ne talanoa vekeveke ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻUlimí mo e Tumemí.

Naʻá ne talaange, “Te u lava ʻo sio ki ha faʻahinga meʻa pē. Fakaofo ʻaupito ia.”[27]

ʻI he ʻaho hoko hili ʻene maʻu e ʻū lauʻi peletí, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa ʻo ngāue ke monomono ha vaitupu ʻi ha kolo ofi ange, ke maʻu ha paʻanga ke kumi ʻaki ha puha loka. ʻI he pongipongi tatau pē, lolotonga ha ʻalu ʻa Siosefa ko e  Lahí ke fai ha fekau ki he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e moʻungá mei he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá, naʻá ne fanongo ai ki ha faʻufaʻu ha kau kumi makakoloa ke kaihaʻasi e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá. Naʻe pehē ʻe ha taha ʻo kinautolu, “Te tau maʻu e ʻū lauʻi peletí, tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa Siō Sāmita mo e fanga tēvolo kotoa ʻi helí.”

Naʻe hohaʻa ʻa Siosefa ko e  Lahí, ko ia naʻá ne foki ki ʻapi ʻo tala kia ʻEma. Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻEma naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻilo ʻe ia e feituʻu naʻe ʻi ai e ʻū lauʻi peletí, ka naʻá ne fakapapauʻi pē kuo maluʻi ia ʻe Siosefa.

Ka naʻe tali ange ʻe Siosefa ko e  Lahí, “ʻIo, kae manatuʻi naʻe tupu ʻi ha kiʻi meʻa siʻi e mole meia ʻĪsoa hono tāpuakí mo ʻene totonu ki he ʻuluaki fānaú.” Telia naʻa pehē ʻa Siosefa.”[28]

Ke fakapapauʻi naʻe malu ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí, naʻe heka hoosi ai ʻa ʻEma ʻo laka ʻi ha houa ʻe taha, ki he faama naʻe ngāue ai ʻa Siosefá. Naʻá ne maʻu atu ia ki he vaitupú kuo pelepela mo tautaʻa mei he ngāué. ʻI he fanongo ʻa Siosefa ki he fakatamakí ni, naʻá ne sio ai ki he ʻUlimí mo e Tumemí ʻo ne ʻilo ʻoku kei malu pē ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí.

Ka ʻi honau ʻapí, naʻe taulaka holo pē ai ʻa Siosefa ko e  Lahí ʻi tuʻa, mo fakasio he halá kae ʻoua ke ne sio kia Siosefa mo ʻEma.

Naʻe pehē ange ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻena aʻu atú, “Tangataʻeiki, ʻoku malu e meʻa kotoa—ʻoua ʻe fai ha hohaʻa.”[29]

Ka kuo taimi ke fai ha meʻa.

Naʻe ʻalu fakatovave ʻa Siosefa ki he moʻungá ʻo maʻu e fuʻu ʻakau naʻe fufuuʻi ai e ʻū lauʻi peletí ʻo ne takatakaiʻi fakalelei ʻaki ia ha sote.[30] Naʻá ne hū leva ki he vaoʻakaú, ʻo ne fononga ki ʻapi, kae tokanga pē hono matá ki ha fakatamaki. Naʻe fakapuliki ia ʻe he vaotaá mei he kakai he hala lahí, ka naʻe lahi ange ai e feituʻu ia ke toitoi ai e kau kaihaʻá.

Naʻe kiʻi mamafa ʻa e lekōtí ko ia ne fononga ʻa Siosefa he loto vaoʻakaú ʻi he vave taha naʻá ne lavá. Naʻe ʻi ai ha fuʻu ʻakau naʻe tō ʻi muʻa hono halá pea ʻi heʻene puna aí, naʻá ne ongoʻi naʻe taaʻi ia mei hono tuʻá. Naʻá ne tafoki ʻo sio ki ha tangata naʻe ʻoho ange ki ai, naʻá ne puke ha meʻafana ʻo hangē ha pōvaí.

Naʻe puke maʻu ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí he nima ʻe taha, ka ne tekeʻi e tangatá ʻo tō ki he kelekelé kae lele ia ʻo puli ki he vaoʻakaú. Naʻá ne lele ʻi ha vauea maile nai, ka naʻe toe ʻohofi ia ʻe ha tangata mei ha fuʻu ʻakau ʻo ne taaʻi ʻaki ia e kau ʻo ʻene meʻafaná. Naʻe fuhu ʻa Siosefa ʻo ne tuli ʻa e tangatá pea lele mei ai, ko e feinga fakatovave ke mavahe mei he vaoʻakaú. Ka naʻe ʻikai fuoloa ʻene lelé, kuo ʻohofi ia ʻe ha tangata fika tolu, ʻo ne tukiʻi ia ʻo tūʻulu. Naʻe tānaki ʻe Siosefa hono iví, ʻo ne taaʻi lahi e tangatá ka ne lele ki honau ʻapí.[31]

Naʻe ʻoho atu ʻa Siosefa ʻi he matapā honau ʻapí ʻokú ne ʻefihi pē ʻa e kofukofu mamafá ʻi hono lalo umá. Naʻá ne kaila, “Tangataʻeiki, ko e ʻū lauʻi peletí ʻeni.”

Naʻe tokoni hono tuofefine taʻu hongofulu mā fā ko Kefiliní ke hili e kofukofú he funga tēpilé kae fakatahataha mai e toenga ʻo e fāmilí ki ai. Naʻe lava ke tala ʻe Siosefa naʻe loto ʻene tamaí mo hono tehina ko Uiliamí ke toʻo e kofukofú, ka naʻá ne taʻofi kinaua.

“Te mau lava ʻo sio ai?” ko e fehuʻi ange ia ʻa Siosefa ko e Lahí.

Naʻe talaange ʻe siosefa, “ʻIkai. Naʻá ku talangataʻa he ʻuluaki taimí, ka kuo pau ke u talangofua he taimí ni.”

Naʻá ne talaange ke nau ala pē ki he ʻū lauʻi peletí ʻi tuʻa he tupenú, ko ia naʻe toʻo hake ʻe hono tokoua ko Uiliamí ʻa e kofukofú. Naʻe mamafa ange ia ʻi he maká, pea naʻe lava ke tala ʻe Uiliami naʻe ʻi ai hano lau ʻo hangē pē ko ha ʻū lauʻi peesi ʻo ha tohi.[32] Naʻe fekauʻi atu ʻe Siosefa ʻa hono kiʻi tehina ko Toni Kālosí, ke ʻalu ʻo ʻomai ha puha loka meia Hailame, naʻe nofo mo hono uaifi ko Selusá mo hona ʻofefine ne toki fāʻeleʻí, ʻi honau feituʻú pē.

Ne ʻikai fuoloa kuo aʻu ange ʻa Hailame, pea ʻi he malu pē ko ia hono faʻo e ʻū lauʻi peletí ki he puha loká, naʻe tō hifo ʻa Siosefa ki ha mohenga he tafaʻakí ʻo ne fakamatala ki hono fāmilí ʻo fekauʻaki mo e kau tangata ʻi he vaoʻakaú.

Naʻe tuku ʻe Siosefa ke hikiʻi hake pē ʻe Māteni e ʻū lauʻi peletí ʻi he puha loká. Naʻe lava ke ne tala naʻe ʻi ai ha meʻa mamafa ai, ka naʻe ʻikai tui ia ko e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá. Naʻá ne talaange kia Siosefa, “Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻá ke tukuakiʻi au ko e ʻikai ke u tui ki hoʻo leá.”

ʻI he aʻu ʻa Māteni ki ʻapi hili e tuʻuapoó, naʻá ne fakaʻeteʻete ki hono loki mohé ʻo lotu, mo ne palōmesi ki he ʻOtuá te ne foaki ʻene meʻa kotoa pē kapau te ne lava ʻo ʻiloʻi naʻe fakalangi e ngāue ne fai ʻe Siosefá.

Lolotonga e lotu ʻa Mātení, naʻá ne ongoʻi e lea ange ha kihiʻi leʻo siʻi ki hono laumālié. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ai ko e ʻū lauʻi peletí mei he ʻOtuá—pea naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo pau ke ne tokoni kia Siosefaʻi hono vahevahe atu e pōpoakí.[4]

ʻI he konga kimui ʻo e taʻu 1827, ne ʻilo ai ʻe ʻEma kuó ne feitama ko ia naʻá ne faitohi ki heʻene ongomātuʻá. Kuo mei lava e taʻu ʻe taha ʻene mali mo Siosefá pea naʻe kei loto mamahi pē ʻene ongomātuʻá. Ka naʻe loto ʻa e ongomātuʻa Heilí ke foki ange ʻa e ongomātuʻa kei talavoú ni ki Hāmoni ke fāʻele pē ʻa ʻEma ʻo ofi ki hono fāmilí.

Neongo naʻe mavahe ai ʻa Siosefa mei heʻene ongomātuʻá mo e ngaahi tokouá mo e tuofāfiné, ka naʻá ne vēkeveke pē ke ʻalu. Naʻe kei feinga ʻa e kakai ʻi Niu ʻIoké ke kaihaʻasi e ʻū lauʻi peletí, pea ʻe maʻu mei he hiki ki ha feituʻu foʻoú, ha nonga mo e nofo lilo ko ia naʻá ne fie maʻu ke fai ʻaki e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí. Meʻapangó, he naʻe ʻi ai hono moʻua pea ʻikai haʻane paʻanga ke fai ʻaki e hikí.[5]

Naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa ki kolo ke totongi ha niʻihi ʻo hono ngaahi moʻuá, mo ʻamanaki ʻe fakaleleiʻi ai ʻene tuʻunga fakapaʻangá. Lolotonga haʻane ʻi falekoloa ʻo totongi moʻuá, naʻe haʻu ʻa Māteni Hālisi kiate ia. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “Misa Sāmita ko e paʻanga ē nimangofulu. ʻOku ou foaki atu ia ke fai ʻaki e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí.”

Naʻe tailiili ʻa Siosefa ke tali ʻa e paʻangá pea naʻá ne palōmesi ange te ne totongi fakafoki ia, ka naʻe talaange ʻe Māteni ke ʻoua ʻe tokanga ia ki ai. Ko e paʻangá ia ko ha meʻaʻofa, pea naʻá ne ui ki he tokotaha kotoa he lokí ke nau fakamoʻoni kuó ne foaki taʻetotongi ange ia.[6]

ʻIkai fuoloa mei aí, naʻe totongi ʻe Siosefa hono ngaahi moʻuá peá ne fakahekeheka leva ʻene salioté. Naʻá ne mavahe leva mo ʻEma ki Hāmoni mo e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá kuo fūfuuʻi ʻi ha talamu piini.[7]

Naʻe aʻu e ongomātuʻá ni ki he fuʻu ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Heilí, ʻi ha uike ʻe taha mei ai.[8] Ne ʻikai fuoloa, kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he tamai ʻa ʻEmá ke ʻoange e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá ke ne sio ai, ka naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa ko e puha pē ʻoku lokaʻi aí, te ne lava ʻo ʻoange ke sio ai. Naʻe ʻita ʻa ʻAisake ʻo ne toʻo hake e puha loká ʻo ne ongoʻi hono mamafá, ka naʻe kei taʻetui pē. Naʻá ne talaange he ʻikai lava ʻe Siosefa ʻo tauhi ia ʻi fale kae ʻoua ke ne fakahā ange ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻi lotó.[9]

He ʻikai faingofua e ngāue liliu leá ko e ʻi ai e tamai ʻa ʻEmá, ka naʻe feinga pē ʻa Siosefa ke fai hono lelei tahá. Naʻe tokoni ʻa ʻEma kiate ia, pea naʻá ne hiki tatau ha konga lahi ʻo e ngaahi mataʻitohi ngalikehé, mei he ʻū lauʻi peletí ki ha pepa.[10] Pea naʻá ne feinga leva ʻi ha ngaahi uike siʻi ke liliu kinautolu ʻaki e ʻUlimí mo e Tumemí. Naʻe fie maʻu ia ke ne fai ha ngāue lahi ange mei he fakasio pē ki he ongo meʻa fakatonuleá. Naʻe pau ke ne loto fakatōkilalo mo fakahaaʻi ʻene tuí ʻi heʻene ako e ʻū mataʻitohí.[11]

Hili ha ngaahi māhina siʻi mei ai, naʻe haʻu ʻa Māteni ki Hāmoni. Naʻá ne talaange naʻá ne ongoʻi kuo ui ia ʻe he ʻEikí ke fononga mamaʻo ki Niu ʻIoke Siti ʻo talanoa mo ha kau mataotao he ngaahi lea fakakuongamuʻá. Naʻá ne ʻamanakí te nau lava ʻo liliu e ʻū mataʻitohí.[12]

Naʻe hiki tatau ʻe Siosefa mo ha toe ʻū ngaahi mataʻitohi mei he ʻū lauʻi peletí, tohiʻi mo ʻene liliú, peá ne ʻoange ʻa e laʻipepá kia Māteni. Naʻá na tatali ai kae fononga fakahahake hona kaungāmeʻá ke talanoa mo ha kau poto ʻiloa.[13]

ʻI he aʻu ki ai ʻa Māteni ki Niu ʻIoke Sití, naʻá ne ʻalu ʻo sio kia Sālesi ʻAnitoni, ko ha palōfesa he lea faka-Latiná mo e faka-Kalisí, ʻi he ʻUnivēsiti Kolomupiá. Naʻe kei talavou ʻa Palōfesa ʻAnitoni—fakafuofua nai naʻá ne siʻi ʻaki ha taʻu ʻe hongofulu mā nima ʻia Māteni—pea naʻe ʻiloa ia ko ʻene pulusi ha tohi ʻenisaikolopītia manakoa ʻi he anga fakafonua faka-Kalisí mo e faka-Lomá. Naʻá ne toki kamata tātānaki pē ha ngaahi talanoa fekauʻaki mo e kau ʻInitia ʻAmeliká.[14]

Ko ʻAnitoní, ko ha tangata poto mo loto maʻu naʻe fehiʻa ke fakahohaʻasi ia, ka naʻá ne talitali lelei ʻa Māteni peá ne vakavakaiʻi lelei e ʻū mataʻitohí mo e liliu lea naʻe fai ʻe Siosefá.[15] Neongo naʻe ʻikai ʻilo e palōfesá ki he lea faka-ʻIsipité, ka kuó ne lau ha ngaahi fakatotolo naʻe fai fekauʻaki mo e lea fakafonuá pea naʻá ne ʻilo hono fōtungá. ʻI heʻene sio ki he ngaahi mataʻitohí, naʻá ne ʻilo naʻe faitatau mo e lea faka-ʻIsipité pea naʻá ne talaange kia Māteni naʻe tonu ʻa e liliú.

Naʻe fakaʻaliʻali ange ʻe Māteni ha toe ʻū mataʻitohi, pea naʻe siviʻi ia ʻe ʻAnitoni. Naʻá ne talaange ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi mataʻitohí ha ngaahi lea lahi fakakuongamuʻa pea naʻá ne ʻoange kia Māteni ha tohi fakamoʻoni ke fakamoʻoniʻi ʻaki hono moʻoní. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ange ke ne fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e ʻū mataʻitohí ki ha tangata poto ʻe taha ko Samuela Mitiseli, naʻe faiako kimuʻa ʻi Kolomupia.[16]

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻAnitoni, “Ko e tangata poto ia ʻi he ngaahi lea fakakuongamuʻá pea ʻoku ou tui pau te ne fakapapauʻi atu.”[17]

Naʻe faʻo ʻe Māteni ʻa e tohi fakamoʻoní ʻi hono kató, ka ʻi he ʻamanaki pē ke ne mavahé, naʻe toe ui atu ʻa ʻAnitoni ke foki ange. Naʻá ne fie ʻilo pe naʻe maʻu fēfē ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Māteni, “Naʻe fakahaaʻi ange ki ai ʻe ha ʻāngelo ʻa e ʻOtuá.” Naʻá ne fakamoʻoni ʻe hanga ʻe hono liliu ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peletí ʻo liliu ʻa e māmaní pea fakahaofi ia mei hano fakaʻauha. Pea ko ʻeni kuó ne maʻu ha fakamoʻoni ʻoku moʻoni ia, te ne fakatau atu leva hono fāmá ʻo foaki e paʻangá ke pulusiʻaki ʻa e liliú.

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻAnitoni, “ʻOmi ke u sio ki he tohi fakamoʻoní.”

Naʻe ala hifo ʻa Māteni ki hono kató ʻo toʻo hake ki ai. Naʻe haehae ia ʻe ʻAnitoni peá ne talaange ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ko e tauhi mai ʻa e kau ʻāngeló. Kapau naʻe loto ʻa Siosefa ke liliu ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí, te ne lava ʻo ʻomi ia ki Kolomupia ke liliu ʻe ha taha poto.

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ange ʻe Māteni naʻe kei fakamaʻu ha konga ia ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peletí pea naʻe ʻikai ngofua ke fakaʻaliʻali ia ʻe Siosefa ki ha taha.

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻAnitoni, “He ʻikai lava ke u lau ha tohi kuo fakamaʻu.” Naʻá ne fakatokanga kia Māteni mahalo naʻe kākaaʻi ia ʻe Siosefa. Naʻá ne talaange, “Tokanga telia ʻa e kakai kākaá.”[18]

Naʻe mavahe ʻa Māteni meia Palōfesa ʻAnitoni ʻo ne ʻaʻahi kia Samuela Mitiseli. Naʻá ne talitali lelei ʻa Māteni, fakafanongo ki heʻene talanoá peá ne vakaiʻi e ngaahi mataʻitohí mo e liliú. Naʻe ʻikai mahino ia ki ai, ka naʻá ne talaange naʻa nau fakamanatu ange ʻa e ngaahi “mataʻitohi fakatātā” faka-ʻIsipité [Egyptian hieroglyphics], pea ko e ngaahi mataʻitohi ia ʻo ha puleʻanga kuo ʻauha.[19]

Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai kuo mavahe ʻa Māteni mei he koló ʻo foki ki Hāmoni, kuó ne tui lahi ange naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá pea mo e mālohi ke liliu kinautolú. Naʻá ne fakamatala kia Siosefa ʻo kau ki he ongo fakaʻekeʻeke naʻe fai mo e ongo palōfesá pea fakapoto ange kapau he ʻikai lava ʻe he kau tangata ako lelei taha ʻo ʻAmeliká ʻo liliu e tohí, kuo pau ke fai ia ʻe Siosefa.

ʻI he ongoʻi taulōfuʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻi he fatongiá, naʻá ne tali ange, “He ʻikai ke u lava, he naʻe ʻikai ke u ako.” Ka naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo teuteu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ongo meʻa fakatonuleá ke ne lava ai ʻo liliu ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí.[20]

Naʻe tui pehē foki mo Māteni. Naʻá ne palani ke foki ki Palemaila, fokotuʻutuʻu lelei ʻene pisinisí pea toe foki mai he vave tahá ke hoko ko e sikalaipe ʻa Siosefá.[21]

ʻI ʻEpeleli 1828, naʻe nofo ai ʻa ʻEma mo Siosefa ʻi ha ʻapi he veʻe Vaitafe Sesikuehaná, ofi pē ki he ongomātuʻa ʻa ʻEmá.[22] ʻI he lahi ko ia hono keté heʻene feitamá, naʻá ne faʻa hoko ai ko e sikalaipe ʻa Siosefá hili ʻene kamata liliu e lekōtí. ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, lolotonga e liliu lea ʻa Siosefá, fokifā pē kuo kamata ke tea hono fofongá. Naʻá ne fehuʻi ange, “ʻEma naʻe ʻi ai ha ʻā naʻá ne takatakaiʻi ʻa Selusalema?”

Naʻe tali ange ʻe ʻEma, “ʻIo,” ʻi heʻene manatu ki hono fakamatalaʻi ia ʻe he Tohi Tapú.

Naʻe toki ongoʻi fiemālie ʻa Siosefa ʻo pehē ange, “ʻOiauē, ne u manavasiʻi telia naʻa kuo kākaaʻi au.”[23]

Naʻe ofo ʻa ʻEma ʻi he ʻikai ke hanga ʻe he siʻi e ʻilo hono husepānití ki he hisitōliá mo e folofolá ʻo uesia e ngāue liliu leá. Naʻe ʻikai mei lava ʻa Siosefa ia ʻo fai ha tohi mahino mo lelei. Ka naʻe laulau houa ʻene tangutu hono tafaʻakí, ka ne tala-kae-tohi ʻa e lekōtí taʻe tokoni ki ai ha faʻahinga tohi pe pepa. Naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻEma ko e ʻOtuá pē ʻokú Ne lava ʻo ueʻi fakalaumālie ʻa Siosefa ke ne liliu lea, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe hokó.[24]

Ne toe foki ange ʻa Māteni mei Palemaila peá ne hoko atu ʻe ia e ngāue fakasikalaipé, kae mālōlō ʻa ʻEma kimuʻa pea siʻi fāʻelé.[25] Ka naʻe ʻikai faingofua e mālōloó. Naʻe vili e uaifi ʻo Mātení ko Lusi, ke na omi ki Hāmoni, pea ko ha ongomātuʻa anga mālohi ʻa e ongomātuʻa Hālisí.[26] Naʻe huʻuhuʻu ʻa Lusi he loto ʻa Māteni ke tokoniʻi fakapaʻanga ʻa Siosefá pea naʻá ne ʻita heʻene ʻalu toko taha kae ʻikai ke na ō ki Niu ʻIoke Sití. ʻI hono talaange ʻe Māteni ʻe ʻalu ki Hāmoni ke tokoni ki he liliú, naʻe tuʻu hake mo ia ʻo ʻalu, ko ʻene fakapapauʻi te ne sio he ʻū lauʻi peletí.

Naʻe ʻikai sai e fanongo ʻa Lusí, pea ko e taimi naʻe ʻikai mahino ai kiate ia e lea ʻa e kakaí, naʻá ne faʻa pehē ʻe ia naʻe fakaangaʻi ia ʻe he kakaí. Naʻe ʻikai foki haʻane ongoʻi ʻe ia e molumalu ha meʻa. Hili e fakafisi ʻa Siosefa ke fakaʻaliʻali ange ki ai e ʻū lauʻi peletí, naʻe kamata ke ne kumi holo ia he falé, hakule e ʻū puha faʻoʻanga meʻa ʻa e fāmilí, ʻū kōpaté mo e ʻū puhá. Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo ʻikai ha toe fili ʻa Siosefa ka ke fūfuuʻi e ʻū lauʻi peletí he loto vaó.[27]

Naʻe mavahe leva ʻa Lusi ia mei he ʻapí ʻo nofo ha kaungāʻapí. Naʻe toe maʻu pē ʻe ʻEma ʻene ʻū puhá mo e kōpaté, ka kuo fakamatala ʻeni ʻe Lusi ia ki he ngaahi kaungāʻapí naʻe feinga ʻa Siosefá ke maʻu e paʻanga ʻa Mātení. Hili ha ngaahi uike ʻene fakatupu palopalemá, naʻe foki leva ʻa Lusi ki Palemaila.

ʻI he fakafoki mai e melinó, naʻe vave leva e liliu ʻa Siosefa mo Mātení. Naʻe fakaʻau ke anga ʻa Siosefa ki hono fatongia fakalangi ko e tangata kikite mo e tangata maʻu fakahaá. ʻI heʻene fakaʻaongaʻi e meʻa fakatonuleá pe foʻi maka kikite ʻe tahá, naʻe lava ai ke ne liliu ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí ʻi muʻa ʻiate ia pe ʻi hono kofukofu ʻaki e konga tupenu līneni ʻa ʻEmá he funga tēpilé.[28]

ʻI he kotoa ʻo ʻEpeleli, Mē mo e konga kimuʻa ʻo Suné, naʻe fakafanongo ai ʻa ʻEma ki he leʻo ʻo Siosefá ʻi heʻene tala-kae-tohi ʻa e lekōtí.[29] Naʻá ne lea māmālie mo mahino, pea faʻa kiʻi longo ke tatali kia Māteni ke ne pehē ange, “kuo tohi,” hili ia ʻene aʻu mai ki he meʻa ne ngata ai e lea ʻa Siosefá.[30] Naʻá na taufetongi pē mo ʻEma he hoko ko ha sikalaipé pea naʻá ne ofo he hili ko ia ha ngaahi fakahohaʻa pe mālōlō, naʻe hoko atu maʻu pē ʻa Siosefa ia mei he meʻa naʻe ngata aí, taʻe toe talaange.[31]

Ne vave pē taimi ke fāʻeleʻi ai e pēpē ʻa ʻEmá. Kuo fakaʻau ke lahi fokotuʻunga ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peesi ne ʻosi liliú, pea naʻe tui ʻa Māteni kapau te ne ʻoange ke lau ʻe hono uaifí ʻa e liliú, te ne ʻilo ai hono mahuʻingá pea ʻe taʻofi ai ʻene fakahohaʻasi ʻena ngāué.[32] Naʻá ne fakaʻamu foki ʻe fiefia ʻa Lusi he founga kuo fakamoleki ki ai hono taimí mo e paʻangá, ʻo tokoni ke tuku mai e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá.

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe kole ai ʻe Māteni kia Siosefa ha ngofua ke ne ʻave ʻa e ʻū lauʻipēsí ki Palemaila ʻi ha ngaahi uike siʻi pē.[33] ʻI hono manatuʻi ʻe Siosefa e tōʻonga ʻa Lusi Hālisi heʻene ʻaʻahi ange ki honau ʻapí, naʻe tokanga ʻa Siosefa ki he foʻi fakakaukau ko iá. Ka naʻá ne loto ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻa Māteni ko ʻene tui kiate ia, ʻi ha taimi naʻe tokolahi ha kakai ne nau ongoʻi veiveiua ki heʻene leá.[34]

Naʻe ʻikai fakapapauʻi ʻe Siosefa e meʻa ke faí, ko ia naʻá ne lotu ai ke maʻu ha fakahinohino pea naʻe talaange ʻe he ʻEikí ke ʻoua naʻá ne tuku ke ʻave ʻe Māteni ʻa e ʻū lauʻi pēsí.[35] Ka naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Māteni ʻe hoko ha liliu ʻi heʻene fakaʻaliʻaliange ia ki hono uaifí, ko ia naʻá ne kole fakamamate ai kia Siosefa ke ne toe fehuʻi pē. Naʻe fai ia ʻe Siosefa ka naʻe tatau pē ʻa e talí. Ka naʻe toe kole ange ʻe Māteni ko hono tuʻo tolú ke ne toe kole pē, pea naʻe fakangofua ai ʻe he ʻOtuá he taimi ko iá ke fai e meʻa ne na loto ki aí.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa kia Māteni te ne lava ʻo ʻave ʻa e ʻū lauʻi pēsí ʻi ha uike ʻe ua, kapau te ne fuakava ke lokaʻi ia pea toki fakahaaʻi ange pē ki ha kau mēmipa pau ʻo e fāmilí. Naʻe palōmesi ange ʻa Māteni peá ne foki leva ki Palemaila mo e ʻū lauʻi peesi kuo tohí.[36]

Hili e mavahe ʻa Mātení, naʻe hā mai ʻa Molonai kia Siosefa ʻo ʻave ʻa e meʻa fakatonuleá mei ai.[37]

ʻI he ʻaho hoko hili e mavahe ʻa Mātení, naʻe kātekina ai ʻe ʻEma ha langā fuoloa mo mamahi peá ne fāʻele ko ha kiʻi tamasiʻi. Naʻe sino vaivai mo mahamahaki e pēpeé pea ʻikai moʻui fuoloa.

Hili ha uike ʻe ua, ne kamata ke ake mai e moʻui ʻa ʻEmá pea toe foki ʻene fakakaukaú kia Māteni mo e ʻū lauʻi peesi kuo liliú. Naʻá ne talaange kia Siosefa, “ʻOku ʻikai ke u fiemālie, pea he ʻikai ke u lava ʻo mālōlō mo fiemālie kae ʻoua ke u ʻiloʻi pe ko e hā e meʻa ʻa Misa Hālisi ʻoku fai ʻaki iá.”

Naʻá ne tapou kia Siosefa ke ne kumi ʻa Māteni, ka naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Siosefa ke mavahe meiate ia. Naʻá ne talaange, “Kole ki heʻeku faʻeé ke haʻu ke ma nofo ka ke ʻalu.”[39]

Naʻe heka saliote leva ʻa Siosefa ʻo fononga fakatokelau. Naʻe siʻi haʻane kai pe mohe lolotonga e fonongá ko e manavasiʻi kuó ne fakatupu houhau ki he ʻEikí he ʻikai ke ne fanongo ki Heʻene folofola mai ke ʻoua naʻa tuku ke ʻalu ʻa Māteni mo e ʻū lauʻi peesi kuo liliú.[40]

Naʻe hopo ʻa e laʻaá heʻene aʻu atu ki he ʻapi ʻene ongomātuʻá ʻi Manisesitaá. Naʻe teuteuʻi ʻe he fāmili Sāmitá e kai pongipongí pea nau fakaafeʻi mai ʻa Māteni ke nau maʻumeʻatokoni fakataha. ʻI he hoko ʻa e valú, kuo maau e meʻakaí he tēpilé ka naʻe teʻeki ai pē ke ʻalu ange ʻa Māteni ia. Naʻe kamata ke hohaʻa ʻa Siosefa mo e fāmilí ʻi heʻenau tatali ki aí.

Faifai, hili ha houa ʻe fā pe lahi ange mei ai, naʻe ʻasi ange ʻa Māteni mei he mamaʻó, ʻo ne lue māmālie ange ki fale, mo sio fakamamaʻu pē ki he kelekelé.[41] Naʻá ne tuʻu he matapā ʻo e ʻaá, tangutu he funga ʻaá pea fusiʻi hifo hono tataá ke fakapuliki ʻaki hono matá. Naʻá ne toki hū mai ki fale ʻo tangutu hifo ke kai fakalongolongo pē.

Naʻe siofi ʻe he fāmilí hono toʻo hake ʻe Māteni ʻa e huhú mo e helé, hangē haʻane teuteu ke kaí, peá ne toe lī hifo ia ki lalo. Naʻá ne tangi, “Kuó u fakamoleki hoku laumālié!” mo puke pē hono ʻulu ʻi hono ongo nimá. “Kuó u fakamoleki hoku laumālié.”

Naʻe puna ki ʻolunga ʻa Siosefa. “Māteni, kuó ke fakamoleki e ʻū lauʻi peesi kuo liliú?”

“ʻIo,” ko Māteni ange ia. “Kuo mole ia pea ʻoku ʻikai ke u ʻilo pe ʻoku ʻi fē.”

Naʻe toʻe hake ʻa Siosefa, “ʻOiauē ʻe hoku ʻOtua, ʻe hoku ʻOtua,” mo kuku pē hono ongo nimá. “Kuo mole kotoa!”

Naʻá ne fefokifokiʻaki pē he lokí. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻilo e meʻa ke faí. Naʻá ne talaange kia Māteni, “Toe foki. Toe ʻalu ʻo kumi.”

Naʻe tangi ʻa Māteni, “Kuo iku-launoa kotoa. Kuó u kumi he potu kotoa pē ʻi he falé. Kuó u hae ʻa e ʻū mohengá mo e ʻū piló, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ia.”

“Te u foki koā ki hoku uaifí mo ha faʻahinga talanoa peheni?” Naʻe manavasiʻi ʻa Siosefa naʻa mate ʻa ʻEma he ongoongo ko ʻení. “Te u ʻalu fēfē ki he ʻEikí?”

Naʻe feinga ʻene faʻeé ke fakafiemālieʻi ia. Naʻá ne talaange, mahalo naʻa fakamolemoleʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí kapau te ne fakatomala ʻi he loto fakatōkilalo.

Ko e Meʻafoaki mo e Mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá

ʻI he toe foki ʻa Siosefa ki Hāmoni ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1828, naʻe toe hā mai ʻa Molonai kiate ia ʻo ne ʻave ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí. Naʻe talaange ʻe he ʻāngeló, “Kapau ʻe feʻunga hoʻo loto fakatōkilaló mo e  ongoʻi fakatomalá, te ke toe maʻu foki ia ʻi he ʻaho  uofulu mā ua ʻo Sepitemá.”[1]

Naʻe nofoʻia ʻe he fakapoʻulí e ʻatamai ʻo Siosefá.[2] Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo hala ʻene meʻa naʻe faí heʻene taʻetokanga ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá ka ne fakafalala kia Māteni ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peesi kuo liliú. Ko ʻeni kuo ʻikai toe falala ange ʻa e ʻOtuá kiate ia ʻi he ʻū lauʻi peletí pe ongo meʻa fakatonuleá. Naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Siosefa hangē naʻe tuha pē mo ia ha faʻahinga tautea ʻe ʻomi mei he langí.[3]

Naʻá ne mafasia he ongoʻi halaiá mo e fakameʻapangoʻiá, ko ia naʻá ne tūʻulutui ʻo vete ʻene ngaahi angahalá mo tautapa ki ha fakamolemole. Naʻá ne fakamanatu e meʻa hala naʻá ne faí mo e meʻa te ne lava ʻo fai ke lelei ange kapau ʻe toe tuku ʻe he ʻEikí ke ne toe fai ʻa e liliú.[4]

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha ʻi Siulai, ʻi ha lue lalo ʻa Siosefa ʻo mamaʻo siʻi atu pē mei honau ʻapí, naʻe toe hā ange kiate ia ʻa Molonai. Naʻe ʻoange kiate ia ʻe he ʻāngeló ʻa e ongo meʻa fakatonuleá pea naʻe sio ʻa Siosefa naʻe ʻasi ai ha pōpoaki fakalangi: “ʻOku ʻikai lava ke taʻofi ʻa e ngaahi ngāue mo e ngaahi fakakaukau mo e ngaahi finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku ʻikai lava foki ke iku noa ia.”[5]

Naʻe fakalotolahi e ngaahi lea ko iá, ka naʻe hoko atu ai ha valoki. Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e ʻEikí, “Naʻe mamafa fau ʻa e ngaahi fekau naʻe fai kiate koé.” He vakai, naʻe ʻikai totonu ke ke manavahē ki he tangatá ʻo lahi ange ʻi he ʻOtuá.” Naʻá Ne fekau kia Siosefa ke fakatomala pea toe tokanga ange ki he ngaahi meʻa toputapú. Naʻe mahuʻinga ange e lekooti ʻi he ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá ʻi he ongoongo ʻo Mātení pe holi ʻa Siosefa ke fakafiemālieʻi e kakaí. Kuo teuteu ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ke fakafoʻou ai ʻEne fuakava fakakuongamuʻá mo akoʻi ki he kakai kotoa pē ke nau fakafalala kia Sīsū Kalaisi ke maʻu ai honau fakamoʻuí.

Naʻe tapou e ʻEikí kia Siosefa ke ne manatuʻi ʻEne ʻaloʻofá. Naʻá Ne fekau ange ʻo pehē, “Fakatomala mei he meʻa kuó ke faí, … pea ʻoku kei fili pē koe.” Ko ia naʻá Ne toe ui ʻa Siosefa ke hoko ko ʻEne palōfita mo e tangata kikite. Ka naʻá Ne fakatokanga kiate ia ke talangofua ki Heʻene folofolá.

Naʻá Ne fakahā ange, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fai ʻeni, ʻe tukuange koe pea te ke hoko ʻo tatau mo e kau tangata kehe, ʻo ʻikai toe maʻu ha meʻa-foaki.”[6]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ko iá, naʻe fononga fakatonga ai e ongomātuʻa ʻa Siosefá ki Hāmoni. Kuo meimei lava ha māhina ʻe ua e mavahe ʻa Siosefa mei hona ʻapí ʻi Manisesitā, pea kuo teʻeki ai ha lōngona meiate ia. Ne na hohaʻa kuo hanga ʻe he ngaahi meʻa fakamamahi ne hoko he faʻahitaʻu māfaná, fakaloto-mamahiʻi ia. ʻI ha ngaahi uike siʻi pē, kuo mālōlō ai hono ʻuluaki fohá, meimei mate hono uaifí pea toe mole mo e ʻū lauʻi peesi kuo liliú. Ne na fakaʻamu ke fakapapauʻi ʻokú na sai pē mo ʻEma.

ʻI he toe ha meimei maile ʻe taha mei he feituʻu ne na fakataumuʻa ki aí, naʻe fiefia lahi ʻa Siosefa ko e Lahí mo Lusi he vakai atu ʻoku tuʻu mai ʻa Siosefa ʻi muʻa he halá, ʻokú ne fofonga nonga mo fiefia. Naʻá ne fakamatala kiate kinaua ʻo kau ki he mole e falala ʻa e ʻOtuá, fakatomala mei heʻene ngaahi angahalá pea mo hono maʻu ʻo e fakahaá. Naʻe oʻo moʻoni hono valokiʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí, kae hangē ko e kau palōfita ʻi he kuonga muʻá, naʻá ne tohi ia ke lau ʻe he niʻihi kehé. Ko e fuofua taimi ia ke ne tohi ai e folofola fakapatonu ange ʻa e ʻEikí kiate ia.

Naʻe talaange foki ʻe Siosefa ki heʻene ongomātuʻá kuo ʻosi toe fakafoki ange ʻe Molonai ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí mo e ongo meʻa fakatonuleá. Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa ne hā fiefia ʻa e ʻāngeló. “Naʻá ne talamai ʻoku ʻofa mai ʻa e ʻEikí kiate au ko ʻeku faivelengá mo loto fakatōkilaló.”

Kuo tuku fakalelei ʻeni ʻa e lekōtí ʻi he falé, ʻo fūfuuʻi ʻi ha puha faʻoʻanga meʻa. Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa, “Ko ʻEma ʻokú ne fai ʻeku tohí he taimi ní, ka naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻāngeló ʻe ʻomi ʻe he ʻEikí ha taha ke tohi maʻaku, pea ʻoku ou falala ʻe hoko ia.”[7]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu failau hokó, naʻe fononga ai ʻa Māteni Hālisi ki Hāmoni mo ha ongoongo fakamamahi. Kuo fakahū ʻe hono uaifí ha lāunga ki he fakamaauʻangá, ʻo ne tala ko ha tangata kākā ʻa Siosefa naʻe fakapuli ʻo pehē ʻokú ne liliu ha ʻū lauʻi peleti koula. Naʻe fakatetuʻa ʻa Māteni he taimí ni ʻe ʻoange ha tohi fekau ke fakamoʻoni ʻi he fakamaauʻangá. Kuo pau ke ne fakahā ai naʻe kākaaʻi ia ʻe Siosefa, ka ʻikai ʻe fakaʻilo foki ia ʻe Lusi ko e kākā.[8]

Naʻe vili ʻa Māteni ke ʻoange ʻe Siosefa ha toe fakamoʻoni ko e moʻoni e ʻū lauʻi peletí. Naʻá ne fie tala ki he fakamaauʻangá e meʻa kotoa pē fekauʻaki mo e liliú, ka naʻá ne hohaʻa he ʻikai tui ange ki ai e kakaí. He naʻe hakule foki ʻe Lusi ia e fale ʻo e ongomātuʻa Sāmitá ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne maʻu e lekōtí. Pea neongo naʻá ne hoko ko ha sikalaipe ʻa Siosefa ʻi ha māhina ʻe ua, ka kuo teʻeki ai pē sio tuʻo taha ʻa Māteni ia ʻi he ʻū lauʻi peletí ko ia he ʻikai lava ke ne fakamoʻoni kuó ne fai ia.[9]

Naʻe fehuʻi ʻe Siosefa ki he ʻEikí peá ne maʻu ha tali maʻa hono kaungāmeʻá. He ʻikai fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ia kia Māteni aʻ e meʻa ke ne leaʻaki ʻi he fakamaauʻangá, pe ʻoange ha faʻahinga fakamoʻoni kae ʻoua kuo fili ʻa Māteni ke loto fakatōkilalo mo fakahaaʻi ʻokú ne tui. Naʻá Ne folofola ange, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau tui ki heʻeku ngaahi leá, ʻe ʻikai te nau tui kiate koe, ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siosefá, ʻo kapau te ke lava ke ke fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa ko ʻeni kuó u tuku kiate koé.”

Naʻe talaʻofa ange ʻa e ʻEikí ʻe fai manavaʻofa kia Māteni, kapau te ne fai e meʻa ne fai ʻe Siosefa he faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá pea loto fakatōkilalo, falala ki he ʻOtuá mo ako mei heʻene ngaahi fehalākí. Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e ʻEikí ʻe ʻi ai ha kau fakamoʻoni faivelenga ʻe toko tolu te nau sio ʻi he ʻū lauʻi peletí, pea ʻe lava ke kau ai ʻa Māteni kapau ʻe tuku ʻene feinga ke tali ia ʻe he niʻihi kehé.[10]

Kimuʻa pea fakaʻosi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻEne folofola angé naʻá Ne toe fakahā ange ha meʻa. Naʻá Ne pehē, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai fakafefeka ʻe he toʻu tangatá ni ʻa honau lotó, te u fokotuʻu ʻa hoku siasí.”[11]

Naʻe fakakaukau ʻa Siosefa ki he ngaahi leá ni ʻi hono tohi ʻe Māteni ʻa e fakahaá. Naʻá ne fanongo leva mo ʻEma kae toe lau mai ʻe Māteni ke fakapapauʻi pe ʻoku tonu. ʻI hono lau maí, naʻe hū mai e tamai ʻa ʻEmá ki he lokí ʻo ne fakafanongo. Hili hono laú, naʻá ne fehuʻi ange pe ko e ngaahi lea ia ʻa hai.

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Siosefa mo ʻEma, “Ko e folofola ia ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻAisake, “ʻOku ou lau ko ha fakamuna kotoa e meʻa ko iá.” “Tuku ʻaupito it.”[12]

Naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻa Māteni ia ki he tamai ʻa ʻEmá, ka ne ʻave ʻe ia ʻene tatau ʻo e fakahaá peá ne heka he salioté ʻo foki ki ʻapi. Kuó ne haʻu ki Hāmoní ko e kumi ha fakamoʻoni fekauʻaki mo e ʻū lauʻi peletí, pea naʻá ne mavahe mei ai mo ha fakahā kuo fakamoʻoniʻi ai ʻene moʻoní. He ʻikai lava ke ne fakaʻaongaʻi ia ʻi fale hopo, ka naʻá ne foki ki Palemaila mo e ʻilo pau ʻoku ʻafioʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí.

ʻI he tuʻu kimui ange ʻa Māteni he ʻao ʻo e fakamāú, naʻá ne fai pē ha fakamoʻoni mālohi. Naʻá ne hiki hono nimá ki he langí peá ne fakamoʻoniʻi e moʻoni ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá mo ne fakahaaʻi naʻá ne foaki taʻetotongi e paʻanga ʻe nimangofulú kia Siosefa ke fai ʻaki e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí. ʻI he ʻikai ko ia ha fakamoʻoni ke poupouʻi ʻaki e ngaahi tukuakiʻi ʻa Lusí, naʻe tāmateʻi ai ʻe he fakamaauʻangá e lāungá.[13]

Lolotonga iá, ne hokohoko atu pē ʻe Siosefa ʻa e liliú, mo lotua ʻe vave pē hano ʻomi ʻe he ʻEikí ha sikalaipe ʻe taha.[14]

Naʻe ʻi ai ha talavou ko ʻŌliva Kautele naʻe nofo ʻi he ongomātuʻa ʻa Siosefá ʻi Manisesitā. Naʻe siʻi ʻaki ʻe ʻŌliva ha taʻu ʻe taha ʻia Siosefa, pea naʻá ne kamata faiako ʻi he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ʻo e 1828 ʻi ha ʻapiako ne meimei maile ʻe taha ki he fakatonga ʻo e faama ʻa e fāmili Sāmitá.

Naʻe faʻa nofo pē ha kau faiako ʻi he ngaahi fāmili ʻo ʻenau fānau akó, ka ʻi he fanongo ʻa ʻŌliva he ngaahi talanoa ne sasala holo fekauʻaki mo e ʻū lauʻi peleti koula ʻa Siosefá, naʻá ne kole ai pe ʻe lava ke nofo mo e fāmili Sāmitá. ʻI he kamataʻangá, naʻe siʻisiʻi ha fakaikiiki ia naʻá ne maʻu mei he fāmilí. Kuo hanga ʻe hono kaihaʻasi e ʻū lauʻi peesi naʻe liliú, fakataha mo e ngutu lau e kakai ʻo e feituʻú, ʻo fakatupunga e ʻikai ke nau toe lea ki ha meʻa.[15]

Ka ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko ʻo e 1828–29, ʻi hono akoʻi ko ia ʻe ʻŌliva e fānau Sāmitá, naʻá ne maʻu ai e falala e fāmili ne nofo aí. Fakafuofua ki he taimi ko ʻení, kuo foki mai ʻa Siosefa ko e  Lahí mei haʻane fononga ki Hāmoni mo ha fakahā ne talaki ai ʻoku ʻamanaki ke fakahoko ʻe he ʻEikí ha ngāue fakaofo.[16] Ne ʻiloʻi ʻe he ongomātuʻa ʻa Siosefá he taimi ko iá ko ha tangata fekumi fakamātoato pē ʻa ʻŌliva, ko ia naʻá na talanoa ange ʻo kau ki he uiuiʻi fakalangi hona fohá.[17]

Naʻe toʻoa e loto ʻo ʻŌlivá heʻena fakamatalá pea naʻá ne fakaʻamu ke ne tokoni ki he liliú. Naʻe tatau pē ʻa ʻŌliva mo Siosefa ʻo taʻefiemālie ki he ngaahi siasi fakaeonopōní, peá ne tui ki he ʻOtua ʻo e ngaahi meʻa mana ʻokú Ne kei fakahā mai Hono finangaló ki he kakaí.[18] Ka naʻe fuʻu mamaʻo ʻa Siosefa ia mo e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ʻŌliva pe ʻe founga fēfē haʻane tokoni ki he ngāué kapau ʻe nofo pē ia ʻi Manisesitā.

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha he faʻahitaʻu failaú, ʻi he lolo lahi e ʻuhá he ʻato ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá, naʻe talaange ai ʻe ʻŌliva ki he fāmilí ʻene fie ʻalu ki Hāmoni ʻo tokoni kia Siosefa he tutuku ʻa e akó. Naʻe poupouʻi ia ʻe Lusi mo Siosefa ko e  Lahí ke ne fehuʻi ki he ʻEikí pe naʻe totonu ʻene ngaahi holí.[19]

ʻI he ʻalu ʻa ʻŌliva ke mohé, naʻá ne lotu lilo ke ʻiloʻi pe naʻe moʻoni e ngaahi meʻa kuó ne ongona fekauʻaki mo e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá. Naʻe fakahā ange ʻe he ʻEikí kiate ia ʻi ha meʻa-hā-mai e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá mo e faifeinga ʻa Siosefa ke liliu iá. Naʻe nofoʻia ia ʻe ha ongoʻi nonga, pea naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe totonu ke ne loto kole loto fiemālie ke hoko ko ha sikalaipe ʻa Siosefa.[20]

Naʻe ʻikai fakahā ʻe ʻŌliva ki ha taha ʻene lotu naʻe faí. Ka ʻi he tutuku pē ʻa e akó, naʻá na fononga lalo leva mo Samuela ko e tokoua ʻo Siosefá ki Hāmoni, naʻe maile ʻe teau tupu hono mamaʻó. Naʻe mokoʻīʻī mo pelepela e halá ʻi he ʻuha ʻo e faʻahitaʻu matalá, pea naʻe mokoteilo mo e muʻa vaʻe ʻo ʻŌlivá he taimi naʻá ne aʻu ai mo Samuela ki he ʻapi ʻo Siosefa mo ʻEmá. Ka naʻá ne kei loto vekeveke pē ke feʻiloaki mo e ongomātuʻá mo ne mamata tonu ki he founga ne ngāue ai e ʻEikí ʻi he palōfita kei talavoú.[21]

ʻI he aʻu ʻa ʻŌliva ki Hāmoní, naʻe hangē ia naʻá ne ʻi ai maʻu peé. Naʻá na talanoa mo Siosefa ʻo aʻu ki he tuʻuapoó, fakafanongo ki heʻene talanoá mo tali ange ha ngaahi fehuʻi. Naʻe mahino pē naʻe ako lelei ʻa ʻŌliva, pea naʻe tali lelei ʻe Siosefa ʻene fietokoni ke hoko ko ʻene sikalaipé.

Hili e aʻu ki ai ʻa ʻŌlivá, ko e fuofua ngāue ʻa Siosefá ko hono ʻai ha feituʻu ke na ngāue ai. Naʻá ne kole kia ʻŌliva ke ne faʻu ha aleapau ʻe palōmesi ai ʻa Siosefa ke totongi ki heʻene tamai-ʻi he-fonó ʻa e kiʻi fale naʻe nofo ai mo ʻEmá, kae pehē ki he fale tauhiʻanga ʻo e fanga monumanú, kelekele ke ngoueʻí mo e kiʻi vaitafe ofi atu peé.[22] Naʻe tokanga e ongomātuʻa ʻa ʻEma ke lelei e moʻui ʻa ʻEmá ko ia ne na tali ai e aleapaú mo palōmesi ange te na fakafiemālieʻi e manavasiʻi ʻa e ngaahi kaungāʻapí kia Siosefá.[23]

Ko ia naʻe kamata leva ʻe Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ʻa e ngāue liliu leá. Naʻá na ngāue lelei fakataha ʻo laui uike, pea taimi ʻe niʻihi ne ʻi ai pē ʻa ʻEma he loki tatau ʻo fai ʻene ngāue fakaʻahó.[24] Taimi ʻe niʻihi naʻe liliu lea pē ʻa Siosefa mei heʻene vakai ki he ongo meʻa fakatonuleá mo ne lau faka-Pilitānia e ngaahi mataʻitohi naʻe ʻasi he ʻū lauʻi peletí.

Naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi taimi naʻe faʻa tokoni ai e foʻi maka kikité. Naʻá ne faʻa faʻo e foʻi maka kikité ʻi hono tataá, ʻai hono matá ki he loto tataá ke taʻofi e hū ki loto ha māma, peá ne sio leva ki he foʻi maká. Naʻe ulo leva e maama mei he foʻi maká ʻi he fakapoʻulí, ʻo fakahaaʻi ange ʻa e ngaahi lea naʻe tala-kae-tohi ʻe Siosefa kae hiki fakavaveʻi ʻe ʻŌliva.[25]

Fakatatau mo e fakahinohino ʻa e ʻEikí, naʻe ʻikai toe feinga ʻa Siosefa ia ke toe liliu e meʻa kuó ne fakamolekí. Ka naʻe hoko atu pē ʻena ngāue mo ʻŌliva ki he lekōtí. Naʻe fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he ʻEikí naʻe fakatauveleʻi ʻe Sētane ʻa e kakai angakoví ke nau ʻave ʻa e ʻū lauʻi pēsí, liliu honau fakaleá, pea fakaʻaongaʻi kinautolu ke ngali fakaʻuliʻulilātai ai e ngāue liliu leá. Ka naʻe fakapapauʻi ange ʻe he ʻEikí kia Siosefa kuó Ne ueʻi fakalaumālie e kau palōfita he kuonga muʻá ne nau teuteuʻi e ʻū lauʻi peletí ke nau fakakau mai ha fakamatala kehe mo kakato ange ʻo e nāunau kuo molé.[26]

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí kia Siosefa, te Ne “veuveuki ʻa kinautolu kuo nau liliu ʻa ʻeku ngaahi leá.” “Te u fakahā kiate kinautolu ʻoku lahi ange ʻa hoku potó ʻi he olopoto ʻa e tēvoló.”[27]

Naʻe fiefia ʻa ʻŌliva ke hoko ko ha sikalaipe ʻa Siosefa.

Naʻe toutou fakamoʻoniʻi foki ʻe he lekōtí ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi pea naʻe mamata ai ʻa ʻŌliva ki he founga ne hanga ʻe he kau palōfitá ʻo tataki ha siasi fakakuonga muʻa, kae pehē ki he founga fakahoko ʻo e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻe ha kau tangata mo fafine angamaheni.

Ka naʻe kei lahi pē e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻa ʻŌliva ʻo kau ki he ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí, pea naʻá ne fuʻu fie maʻu ha ngaahi tali.

Kapau te ke fehuʻi, te ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻa ia ʻoku maʻongoʻonga mo fakaofo.”

Naʻe poupouʻi foki ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻŌliva ke ne manatuʻi e fakamoʻoni naʻá na maʻu kimuʻa pea haʻu ki Hāmoní, ʻa ia naʻe teʻeki ai fakamaatala ʻe ʻŌliva ia ki ha taha.

Naʻe ofo ʻa ʻŌliva. Naʻá ne fakamatala leva kia Siosefa ʻo fekauʻaki mo ʻene lotu liló pea mo e fakamoʻoni fakalangi naʻá ne maʻú. Naʻá ne talaange he ʻikai malava ke ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha tukukehe pē ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea kuó ne ʻiloʻi ʻeni he taimi ko iá ʻa hono moʻoni ʻo e ngāué.

Naʻe toe ʻave ʻe Siosefa e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻa ʻŌlivá ki he ʻEikí, pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí kia ʻŌliva naʻá ne maʻu ha mālohi ke maʻu ʻaki ha ʻilo kapau pē naʻá ne kole ʻi he tui.

Naʻá ne fakahā foki kia ʻŌliva te ne lava ʻo liliu e lekōtí ʻo hangē ko Siosefá, kapau pē te ne fakafalala ʻi he tuí. Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e ʻEikí, “Manatuʻi, ʻoku ʻikai te ke lava ke fai ha meʻa taʻe ʻi ai ʻa e tuí.”[32]

Naʻe vekeveke ʻa ʻŌliva ke liliu lea hili hono maʻu e fakahaá. Naʻá ne muimui ki he sīpinga ʻa Siosefá, ka ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻilongofua ai e ngaahi leá, naʻá ne ʻita mo puputuʻu.

Ne ʻikai hano taimi kuo tuku e ngāue liliu lea ʻa ʻŌlivá peá ne fehuʻi kia Siosefa pe ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ola lelei ai ʻene ngāué.

Naʻe fehuʻi ʻa Siosefa ki he ʻEikí. Naʻe tali ange ʻe he ʻEikí, “Naʻá ke pehē te u foaki ia kiate koe, ka naʻe ʻikai te ke fai ha fakakaukau ki ai tuku kehe pē ke kole kiate au. Kuo pau ke ke fakakaukauʻi ia ʻi ho ʻatamaí; pea kuo pau ke ke toki fehuʻi mai kiate au pe ʻoku totonu ia.”

Naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻŌliva ke faʻa kātaki. Naʻá ne folofola ange, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ke ke liliu lea he taimí ni.

Ongo Kaungā Tamaioʻeiki

Naʻe momoko mo ʻuhoʻuha ʻa e faʻahitaʻu failau ʻo e 1829 ʻo aʻu ki Mē. Lolotonga e nofo fale ʻa e kau faama ʻo Hāmoní, ʻo fakatoloi hono tō ʻenau ngoue he faʻahitaʻu failaú kae ʻoua kuo sai e ʻeá, naʻe liliu ʻe Siosefa ia mo ʻŌliva e lekōtí ki he lahi taha te na lavá.[1]

Kuó na aʻu mai ki he talanoa ʻo e meʻa ne hoko ki he kau Nīfaí mo e Kau Leimaná he taimi naʻe pekia ai ʻa Sīsū ʻi Selusalemá. Naʻe fakamatala ai ki he ngaahi mofuike mo e matangi mālohi ne ilifia ai ʻa e kakaí mo ne liliu e fōtunga ʻo e fonuá. Naʻe ngalo hifo ha ngaahi kolo ki lolofonua, kae vela ha ngaahi kolo ʻe niʻihi. Naʻe laulauhoua e fatulisi ʻa e langí pea pulia e laʻaá, kae nofo e niʻihi naʻe kei moʻuí ʻi he fakapoʻuli lōlō. Naʻe tangi e kakaí ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe tolu, ʻo tengihia ʻenau kau maté.[2]

Faifai pea ongo mai e leʻo ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻi he uhouhonga ʻo e taimi fakamamahí ni. Naʻá Ne fehuʻi ange, “He ʻikai koā te mou tafoki mai ʻeni kiate au, pea fakatomala mei hoʻomou ngaahi angahalá, ʻo liliu, koeʻuhí ke u fakamoʻui ʻa kimoutolu?”[3] Naʻá Ne toʻo atu e fakapoʻulí pea fakatomala e kakaí. Ne fakataha mai leva hanau tokolahi ki ha temipale ʻi he feituʻu ne ui ko Mahu, ʻo nau talanoa ai ki he ngaahi liliu lahi kuo hoko ki he fonuá.[4]

Lolotonga ‘enau fetalanoaʻakí, ne nau mamata ki he hāʻele hifo e ʻAlo ʻo e ʻOtuá mei he langí. Naʻá Ne folofola, “Ko au ko Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻa ia naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he kau palōfitá ʻe haʻu ki he māmaní.”[5] Naʻá Ne nofo mo kinautolu ʻi ha kiʻi taimi, akoʻi ange ʻEne ongoongoleleí mo fekau ke nau papitaiso ʻi he fakauku ki hono fakamolemoleʻi ʻo e ngaahi angahalá.

Naʻá Ne folofola, “Ko ia ia ʻokú ne tui kiate au mo papitaisó, ʻe fakamoʻui ia. Te nau maʻu ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.”[6] Kimuʻa peá Ne hāʻele hake ki he langí, naʻá Ne foaki ki ha kau tangata angatonu ʻa e mafai ke papitaiso ʻa kinautolu naʻe tui kiate Iá.[7]

Lolotonga e liliu lea ʻa Siosefa mo ʻŌlivá, naʻe ongo kiate kinaua e ngaahi akonaki ko ʻení. Naʻe tatau pē ʻa Siosefa mo hono taʻokete ko ʻAlaviní ʻo teʻeki ai papitaiso, pea naʻá ne fie ʻilo lahi ange ki he ouau mo e mafai naʻe fie maʻu ke fakahoko ʻaki iá.[8]

ʻI he ʻaho 15 ʻo Mē  1829, naʻe tuʻu ai e ʻuhá pea luelalo leva ʻa Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ki he vaoʻakau ofi atu ki he Vaitafe Sesikuehaná. Naʻá na tūʻulutui ʻo fehuʻi ki he ʻOtuá fekauʻaki mo e papitaisó pea mo e fakamolemoleʻi ʻo e ngaahi angahalá. Lolotonga ʻena lotú, naʻe ongo mai e leʻo ʻo e Huhuʻí ʻo fakanonga kinaua, pea hā mai ha ʻāngelo ʻi ha konga ʻao maama. Naʻá ne fakafeʻiloaki ange ko Sione Papitaiso ia, peá ne hilifaki hono ongo nimá ʻi hona ʻulú. Naʻe fonu hona lotó ʻi he fiefia pea ʻākilotoa kinautolu ʻe he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sione, “ʻI he huafa ʻo e Mīsaiá, ʻoku ou foaki kiate kimoua ʻa [ʻeku] ongo kaungā-tamaioʻeiki, ʻa e Lakanga Fakataulaʻeiki ʻo ʻĒloné, ʻa ia ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e ngaahi kī ʻo e tauhi mai ʻa e kau ʻāngeló, pea mo e ongoongolelei ʻo e fakatomalá, pea mo e papitaiso ʻi he fakaukú ke fakamolemole ʻa e ngaahi angahalá.”[9]

Naʻe ʻikai leʻolahi e leʻo ʻo e ʻāngeló, ka naʻe ongo mahuhuhuhu ia ki he loto ʻo Siosefa mo ʻŌlivá.[10] Naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi ange naʻe fakamafaiʻi kinaua ʻe he Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné ke na fai papitaiso pea naʻá ne fekau ke na fepapitaisoʻaki pē ʻa kinaua kimuʻa peá ne toki mavahé. Naʻá ne talaange foki te na maʻu mo ha toe mālohi lahi ange ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻamuiange, ʻa ia te na maʻu ai e mafai ke na fefoakiʻaki e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní kae pehē kiate kinautolu ne na papitaisó.

Hili e mavahe ʻa Sione Papitaisó, naʻe lue leva ʻa Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ʻo hifo ki he loto vaitafé. Naʻe tomuʻa papitaiso ʻe Siosefa ʻa ʻŌliva, pea ʻi heʻene tuʻu hake pē mei he vaí, naʻe kamata ke kikite ʻa ʻŌliva ʻo kau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻe vave ʻene hokó. Naʻe papitaiso leva ʻe ʻŌliva ʻa Siosefa, pea naʻá ne tuʻu hake mei he vaí ʻo kikite fekauʻaki mo e ʻalu hake ʻa e siasi ʻo Kalaisí, ʻa ia kuo talaʻofa mai e ʻEikí te Ne fokotuʻu ʻi hona lotolotongá.[11]

Hili e fakahinohino ʻa Sione Papitaisó, ne na toe foki ki he vaoʻakaú ʻo fefakanofoʻaki kinaua ki he Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné. ʻI heʻena ako ʻa e Tohi Tapú, kae pehē ki heʻena liliu e lekooti fakakuonga muʻá, naʻe faʻa lau ai ʻa Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ʻo fekauʻaki mo e mafai ke ngāue ʻi he huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá. Kuó na fuesia ʻeni e mafai ko iá.

Hili ʻena papitaisó, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ko e ngaahi potufolofola ko ia ne muʻaki hā ngali fihi mo fakamisitelí, kuo fakafokifā pē ʻene toe mahino angé. Ne nofoʻia ʻena fakakaukaú ʻe he moʻoní mo e mahinó.[12]

Ka ʻi Niu ʻIoké, naʻe loto vēkeveke ai e kaungāmeʻa ʻo ʻŌliva ko Tēvita Uitemaá ke ne ʻilo lahi ange ki he ngāue ʻa Siosefá. Neongo naʻe nofo ʻa Tēvita ia ʻi Feieti, ʻi ha maile ʻe tolungofulu nai mei Manisesitā, ka naʻá na kaungāmeʻa mo ʻŌliva lolotonga e kei faiako ʻa ʻŌliva peá ne kei nofo mo e fāmili Sāmitá. Ne na faʻa talanoa ki he ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá pea ʻi he taimi naʻe hiki ai ʻa ʻŌliva ki Hāmoní, naʻá ne palōmesi ke faitohi kia Tēvita fekauʻaki mo e liliú.

Ne ʻikai fuoloa kuó ne kamata maʻu ha ʻū tohi. Naʻe tohi ange ʻa ʻŌliva naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa e fakaikiiki ki heʻene moʻuí naʻe ʻikai mei lava ke ʻilo ia ʻe ha taha, tukukehe pē ʻi ha fakahā mei he ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí kia Siosefá pea mo hono liliu ʻo e lekōtí. ʻI ha tohi ʻe taha, naʻe vahevahe ange ai ʻe ʻŌliva ha fanga kiʻi fakalea ʻo e liliu naʻe faí mo ne fakamoʻoni ki hono moʻoní.

Naʻá ne talaange ʻi ha tohi ʻe taha kia Tēvita, ko e finangalo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá ke ne haʻu mo ʻene fanga hōsí mo e salioté ki Hāmoni ke tokoni kia Siosefa mo ʻEma, pea naʻe hiki ʻa ʻŌliva ki he ʻapi ʻo Uitemaá ʻi Feieti, pea ko e feituʻu ia ne fakaʻosi ai e ngāue liliu leá.[13] Kuo kamata ke ʻikai fuʻu talitali lelei e fāmili Sāmitá ʻe he kakai ʻo Hāmoní. Naʻe fakamanamanaʻi ʻe ha kau tangata ke ʻohofi kinautolu, ka ne ʻikai e fāmili ʻo ʻEmá, mahalo kuo nau lavea lahi.[14]

Naʻe vahevahe ʻe Tēvita e ngaahi tohi ʻa ʻŌlivá ki heʻene ongomātuʻá mo hono ngaahi tokouá mo e tuofāfine, pea ne nau loto fiemālie ke talitali lelei ʻa Siosefa, ʻEma mo ʻŌliva ki honau ʻapí.

Naʻe fie ʻalu leva ʻa Tēvita ki Hāmoni, ka naʻe fakamanatu ange ʻe heʻene tamaí ʻoku toe ha ʻaho ʻe ua ke fakaʻosi ai haʻane ngāue lahi kae toki lava ʻo mavahe.

Naʻe talaange ʻe heʻene tamaí naʻe totonu ke ne ʻuluaki lotu pe naʻe fie maʻu moʻoni ke ne mavahe he taimí ni.

Naʻe talangofua ʻa Tēvita ki he faleʻi ʻene tamaí pea ʻi heʻene lotú, naʻá ne ongoʻi naʻe talaange ʻe he Laumālié ke fakaʻosi ʻene ngāue ʻi ʻapí kimuʻa pea toki ʻalu ki Hāmoni.

Naʻe ofo e tamai ʻa Tēvitá ʻi heʻene ʻilo ki he meʻa naʻe hokó. Naʻá ne talaange, “Pau pē ʻoku ʻi ai ha mālohi lahi ange ʻe kau he meʻá ni, ko ia ʻoku ou tui mahalo ʻoku lelei ke ke ʻalu ki Penisilivēnia he vave tahá he ʻosi pē hono laku hoʻo fafanga kelekelé.”

Naʻe ngāue mālohi ʻa Tēvita ke palau e toenga ngoueʻangá mo teuteuʻi e kelekelé ki ha tōtaʻu lelei. ʻI heʻene ʻosí, naʻá ne tui ʻene salioté ki ha fanga hoosi mālohi peá ne fononga leva ki Hāmoni, kimuʻa he taimi naʻe totonu ke toki ʻalu aí.[16]

Naʻe femoʻuekina leva e faʻē ʻa Tēvitá ʻi he hiki pē ʻa Siosefa, ʻEma mo ʻŌliva ki Feietí. Naʻe ʻosi ʻi ai ha fānau ʻe toko valu ʻa Mele Uitemā mo hono husepāniti ko Pitá, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e taʻu hongofulu mā nimá mo e tolungofulú, pea ko e niʻihi ko ia ne ʻikai kei nofo honau ʻapí, ne nau nofo ofi atu pē ki ai.

Naʻe falala ʻa Mele ki he uiuiʻi ʻo Siosefá pea naʻe ʻikai ke ne hanu ka kuo fakaʻau ke ne ongosia.[17]

Naʻe fuʻu vela mo ʻafu ʻaupito e ʻea ʻi Feietí he faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá. ʻI he fai ko ia ʻe Mele ʻa e foó mo teuteuʻi e meʻatokoní, naʻe lele pē ʻa e tala-kae-tohi ʻe Siosefa ʻa e liliu leá ʻi ha loki ʻi ʻolunga. Naʻe fai ʻe ʻŌliva e tohí maʻana, ka naʻe faʻa taufetongi pē ʻa ʻEma pe ko ha taha he fāmili Uitemaá ʻi hono fai e tohí.[18] Taimi ʻe niʻihi, ʻi he ongosia ʻa Siosefa mo ʻŌliva he ngāue liliu leá, ne na lue lalo ki ha kiʻi anovai ofi atu pē ʻo tolo e maká ke paheke he fukahi vaí.

Naʻe maʻu ʻe Mele ha kiʻi taimi ke siʻi mālōlō ai, ka naʻe faingataʻa ke ne fuesia e ngāue ne toe fakalahi atú pea mo ʻene ongosiá.

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, lolotonga ʻene ʻi he fale tauhiʻanga ʻo e fanga monumanú naʻe tatau ai e fanga pulú, naʻá ne vakai atu ki ha tangata ʻulu hinā naʻá ne afe mai mo ha tangai ʻi hono umá.

Naʻá ne talaange, “Ko hoku hingoá ko Molonai. “Kuó ke fuʻu ongosia he ngāue makehe ʻoku pau ke ke faí.” Naʻá ne tukuhifo e tangaí mei hono umá pea naʻe siofi pē ʻe Mele ʻene kamata ke vetevete hono haʻí.[19]

Naʻe fakaava hake ʻe Molonai ʻene tangaí peá ne toʻo hake ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peleti koulá. Naʻá ne pukepuke ia ʻi muʻa ʻia Mele ka ne huke hake hono ʻū lauʻi pēsí ke lava e fefiné ʻo sio ki he meʻa naʻe tohi aí. ʻI heʻene aʻu ki he peesi fakaʻosí, naʻá ne tapou kiate ia ke ʻai ʻene kātakí ke lahi pea ke ne faivelenga ʻi heʻene fuesia e kavenga makehé ʻo kiʻi fuofuoloa ange.

Naʻe pulia e tangataʻeikí ʻi ha lau momeniti mei ai, kae toko taha pē ʻa Mele. Naʻe kei toe ha ngāue ke ne fai, ka naʻe ʻikai toe hohaʻa ia ki ai.[22]

ʻI he faama Uitemaá, naʻe vave ʻaupito ai e ngāue liliu lea ia ʻa Siosefá, ka naʻe ʻi ai pē ha ngaahi ʻaho naʻe faingataʻa.

ʻI ha pongipongi ʻe taha, ʻi heʻene teuteu ke ngāue liliu leá, naʻe loto mamahi ʻa Siosefa ʻia ʻEma. Kimui ange ʻi heʻene fakataha atu mo ʻŌliva mo Tēvita ʻi he loki ʻi ʻolunga ne nau ngāue aí, naʻe ʻikai ke ne lava ʻe ia ʻo liliu ha foʻi lea.

Naʻá ne mavahe mei he lokí ʻo luelue ki tuʻa ki he ngoue ʻakau fuá. Naʻá ne mavahe ʻi ha meimei houa ʻe taha ʻo lotu. ʻI heʻene foki maí, naʻá ne kole fakamolemole kia ʻEma. Naʻá ne toki foki leva ʻo fakahoko e ngāue liliu leá ʻo hangē ko e angamahení.[24]

Ka ko e meʻa mahuʻinga angé, ko ʻene fai ha fakamoʻoni mālohi kia Sīsū Kalaisi mo ʻEne Fakaleleí.

Naʻe taki ʻe Siosefa e kau tangata ʻe toko tolú ki he loto vaoʻakau ofi ki he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Uitemaá, kimui ange he ʻaho ko iá.

Hoko Mai e Moʻuí pe Maté

ʻI he Sāpate hili hono fokotuʻu ʻo e Siasí, naʻe malanga ai ʻa ʻŌliva ki he fāmili Uitemaá mo honau ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻi Feietí. Naʻe hanga ʻe hanau tokolahi ʻo poupouʻi ʻa hono liliu ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ka naʻe teʻeki ai ke nau kau ki he siasí. Hili e lea ʻa ʻŌlivá, naʻe kole ange ha toko ono ke papitaiso kinautolu ʻi ha anovai ofi atu pē.[1]

ʻI he tokolahi ange e kakai ne kau ki he siasi foʻoú, naʻe fataki ai ʻe Siosefa e mafasia ʻo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e ʻEikí ke ʻave ʻa e ongoongoleleí ki he funga ʻo e māmaní. Naʻá ne pulusi e Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo fokotuʻu e siasi ʻo e ʻEikí, ka naʻe ʻikai fakataua e tohí pea meimei ko hono ngaahi kāinga pē mo e kaungāmeʻá ne nau fie papitaisó. Pea naʻe kei toe lahi e meʻa ke ako ʻe Siosefa ʻo fekauʻaki mo hēvani pea mo māmaní.

Ne faʻa omi e kakai ne kau ki he siasí ko e fekumi ki he ngaahi meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālié mo ha ngaahi mana kehe ne nau lau ki ai ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú.[2] Ka naʻe talaʻofa e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí ki he kakai tuí ha meʻa lahi ange ne mahulu hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakaofó mo e fakaʻilongá pē. Naʻe hanga ʻe Penisimani, ko ha palōfita mo ha tuʻi poto ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻo akoʻi mai kapau ʻe fakavaivai ʻa e kakaí ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, te nau lava ʻo siʻaki honau natula faiangahalá ka nau hoko ko ha kakai anga māʻoniʻoni ʻo fakafou ʻi he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.[3]

Ko e tukupā leva kia Siosefá, ʻa e founga ko ia ke paotoloaki ʻaki e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí. Naʻá ne ʻilo mo ʻŌliva, naʻe pau ke na kalanga ʻaki e fakatomalá ki he kakai kotoa pē. Naʻe maau e ngoué ia ke ututaʻu, pea naʻe mahuʻinga lahi e foʻi laumālie kotoa pē ki he ʻOtuá. Ka ʻe lava fēfē ʻe ha ongo ʻaposetolo kei talavou—ko ha tangata faama mo ha faiako, ʻi hona taʻu uofulu tupú—ʻo paotoloaki ha ngāue maʻongoʻonga pehē?

Pea ʻe lava fēfē ha kiʻi siasi siʻisiʻi ʻi he tukuʻuta ʻo Niu ʻIoké, ke mavahe hake mei hono kamataʻanga masivesivá ʻo tupulaki ke ne fakafonu e foʻi māmaní?

Hili e ngaahi papitaiso ʻi Feietí, naʻe kamata leva e fononga maile ʻe teau ʻa Siosefa ke foki ki heʻene faama ʻi Hāmoní. Neongo ʻene femoʻuekina he siasi foʻoú, ka naʻe pau ke ne tō leva ʻene ngoué kapau naʻá ne fie maʻu ha ututaʻu lelei he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlaú. Naʻe ʻosi tōmui ʻene totongi e fāmá ki he tamai ʻa ʻEmá, pea kapau he ʻikai ola lelei ʻene ngoué, kuo pau ke ne kumi ha founga kehe ke totongi ʻaki hono moʻuá.

ʻI he foki ʻa Siosefa ki ʻapí, naʻá ne afe ai ʻi he faama ʻo Siosefa mo Poli Naití ʻi Kolesivili, Niu ʻIoke. Kuo fuoloa pē hono poupouʻi ia ʻe he fāmili Naití, ka naʻe teʻeki ai ke nau kau ki he siasí. Naʻe loto pē ʻa Siosefa Naiti ia ke ne lau e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, kimuʻa peá ne toki tali e tui foʻoú.[4]

Naʻe nofo ʻa Siosefa ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi ʻi Kolesivili, ʻo malanga ki he fāmili Naití mo honau ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. Naʻe faʻa talanoa e palōfitá mo Niueli Naiti, ko ha taha ʻo e ngaahi foha ʻo Siosefa mo Polí, ʻo kau ki he ongoongoleleí. ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe fakaafeʻi ia ʻe Siosefa ke ne lotu ʻi ha fakataha, ka naʻe talaange ʻe Niueli ʻe laka ange ke ne lotu toko taha pē ʻi he vaoʻakaú.

ʻI he pongipongi hokó, naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Niueli ki he vaoʻakaú ʻo feinga ke lotu. Naʻe nofoʻia ia ʻe ha ongo taʻefiemālie pea naʻe toe fakaʻau ke kovi ange heʻene kamata foki ki ʻapí. ʻI heʻene aʻu ki hono falé, naʻe fuʻu mālohi fau e ongó ko ia naʻá ne kole fakamamaʻu ai ki hono uaifi ko Selí, ke ʻalu ʻo ʻomi e palōfitá.

Naʻe fakatovave atu ʻa Siosefa kia Niueli ʻoku ʻi ai hono fāmilí mo e kaungāʻapí ʻo siofi loto manavasiʻi pē hono fofongá mo e ongo nima mo e vaʻe ʻo e talavoú heʻene piko faikehé. ʻI he mamata ʻa Niueli kia Siosefá, naʻá ne kaila ange, “Kapusi e tēvoló ki tuʻa!”

Kuo teʻeki fai feinga ʻa Siosefa ia kimuʻa ke valokiʻi e tēvoló pe fakamoʻui ha taha, ka naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo talaʻofa ʻaki ʻe Sīsū ki Heʻene kau ākongá e mālohi ke fai iá. Naʻá ne ngāue fakavavevave leva ʻo puke ʻa e nima ʻo Niuelí. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻI he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, mavahe meiate ia.”

Ne tuʻu maʻu leva hono sinó he ʻosi pē lea ʻa Siosefá. Naʻe hoholo hifo ʻa Niueli ki he falikí, kuó ne ongosia ka naʻe ʻikai lavea, mo ne pehē ange kuó ne mamata ki he mavahe ʻa e tēvoló mei hono sinó.

Naʻe ofo e fāmili Naití mo honau kaungāʻapí he meʻa kuo fai ʻe Siosefá. Naʻe tokoni ʻa Siosefa ke nau hiki ʻa Niueli ki he mohengá peá ne talaange kiate kinautolu ko e fuofua mana ia ke fakahoko ʻi he siasí.

Naʻá ne fakamoʻoni “Naʻe fai ia ʻe he ʻOtuá pea ʻi he mālohi ʻo e anga faka-ʻOtuá.”[5]

ʻI ha maile ʻe laungeau mei ai ki he hihifó, naʻe ongoʻi ai ʻe ha tangata faama ko Paʻale Pālati, ʻa hono ueʻi ia ʻe he Laumālié ke ne mavahe mei hono ʻapí mo e fāmilí ke malanga ʻaki e ngaahi kikite mo e ngaahi meʻafoaki fakalaumālie naʻá ne maʻu ʻi he Tohi Tapú. Naʻá ne fakatau atu ʻene fāmá ʻi ha totongi ne ʻikai maʻu ai haʻane tupu, peá ne falala ʻe tāpuakiʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ko ʻene luva ʻene meʻa kotoa pē maʻa Kalaisí.

Naʻá ne ʻave pē ha vala mo ha paʻanga feʻunga ki he fonongá, peá ne mavahe mo hono uaifi ko Fakafetaʻí, mei honau ʻapí ʻo fononga fakahahake ke ʻaʻahi ki ha fāmili kimuʻa pea ʻalu ʻo malangá. ʻI heʻena folau he kanalí, naʻe tafoki ʻa Paʻale kia Fakafetaʻi ʻo kole ange ke muʻomuʻa atu ia. Naʻá ne ongoʻi naʻe tataki ia ʻe he Laumālié ke ne hifo mei he vaká.

Naʻá ne palōmesi ange, “Te u vave atu pē. ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngāue ke u fai he vāhenga ko ʻení.”[6]

Naʻe hifo ʻa Paʻale ʻo ne lue lalo ʻi ha maile ʻe hongofulu ki he faʻahi fakaʻutá, ʻo ne aʻu ai ki ha ʻapi ʻo ha tīkoni ʻo e siasi Papitaisó, naʻá ne fakamatala ange ʻo kau ki ha tohi foʻou kuó ne maʻu. Naʻe pehē ʻe he tangatá ko ha lekooti fakakuongamuʻa ia, naʻe liliu mei ha ʻū lauʻi peleti koula ʻi he tokoni ʻa e kau ʻāngeló mo e ngaahi mata meʻa-hā-maí. Naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi he tīkoní e tohí, ka naʻá ne palōmesi te ne ʻoange ke sio ai ʻa Paʻale he ʻaho hono hokó.

ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻe toe foki ai ʻa Paʻale ki he fale ʻo e tīkoní. Naʻá ne fakaava loto vēkeveke hake ʻa e tohí ʻo lau hono peesi talamuʻakí. Naʻá ne huke leva ki he takafi mui ʻo e tohí ʻo lau e ngaahi fakamatala ʻa ha kau fakamoʻoni ʻe niʻihi. Naʻe tohoakiʻi ia ʻe hono fakaleá pea kamata leva ke ne lau e tohí mei he kamataʻangá. Ne laulau houa mei ai mo e teʻeki ai pē lava ke tuku ʻene lautohí. Naʻe hoko e kaí mo e mohé ko ha fakamafasia. Naʻe ʻiate ia e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí pea naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe moʻoni e tohí.[7]

Taimi siʻi mei ai, ne ʻalu ʻa Paʻale ki he kolo hoko mai ko Palemailá, ʻo ne fakapapauʻi pē te ne feʻiloaki mo e tokotaha liliu lea ʻo e tohí. Naʻe fakahinohino ange ʻe he kakai ʻi he koló ha faama ne tuʻu ʻi ha maile siʻi mei ai. ʻI he lue lalo ʻa Paʻale ki he feituʻu ko iá, naʻá ne sio atu ki ha tangata peá ne fehuʻi ange pe te ne maʻu nai ki fē ʻa Siosefa Sāmita. Naʻe talaange ʻe he tangatá ʻoku nofo ʻa Siosefa ia ʻi Hāmoni, ʻi ha maile ʻe laungeau ki he fakatongá, ka naʻá ne fakafeʻiloaki ange ko Hailame Sāmita ia ko e tokoua ʻo e palōfitá.

Ne na talanoa he meimei pō kakato ko iá, pea fakamoʻoni ange ʻa Hailame ʻo kau ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ki hono toe fakafoki mai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí pea mo e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní. ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi ʻapoinimeni malanga ʻa Paʻale ke ʻalu ki ai, ko ia naʻe ʻoange ʻe Hailame ha tatau ʻo e tohí pea tuku ke ne ʻalu.

ʻI he faingamālie hoko ne fakaava hake ai ʻe Paʻale ʻa e tohí, naʻá ne fiefia heʻene ʻiloʻi ai kuo ʻaʻahi ʻa e ʻEiki toetuʻú ki he kakai ʻo ʻAmeliká he kuonga muʻá ʻo akoʻi kiate kinautolu ʻEne ongoongoleleí. Naʻe fakatokangaʻi hake ʻe Paʻale, naʻe mahulu hake e mahuʻinga ʻa e pōpoaki ʻo e tohí, ʻi he makakoloa kotoa ʻo e māmaní.

ʻI he ʻosi ʻene malangá, naʻe toe foki ʻa Paʻale ki he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá. Naʻe talitali lelei ia ʻe Hailame mo fakaafeʻi ia ke ne ʻaʻahi ki he faama Uitemaá, ke ne fakataha ai mo e kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí, kuo tupu tokolahí.

Naʻe vēkeveke ʻa Paʻale ke ako lahi ange ko ia naʻá ne tali e fakaafé. Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, naʻe papitaiso ia.[8]

ʻI he konga kimui ʻo Sune 1830, naʻe fononga ai ʻa ʻEma mo Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ki Kolesivili. Kuo mafola he feituʻú e talanoa ki he mana ne hoko he faʻahitaʻu failau ko iá, pea naʻe fakaʻamu e fāmili Naití mo ha niʻihi kehe ke nau kau ki he siasí.

Naʻe mateuteu foki mo ʻEma ke papitaiso ia. Hangē ko e fāmili Naití, naʻá ne tui ki he ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí pea mo e uiuiʻi fakaepalōfita hono husepānití, ka kuo teʻeki ai ke ne kau ki he siasí.[9]

Hili ʻenau tūʻuta ʻi Kolesivilí, naʻe ngāue fakataha ʻa Siosefa mo ha niʻihi kehe ke ʻai ha kiʻi tānakiʻanga vai mei ha kiʻi vaitafe ofi mai, ke nau lava ʻo fai papitaiso ai he ʻaho hokó. Ka ʻi he hoko mai e pongipongí, ne nau ʻiloʻi ai kuo hanga ʻe ha taha ia ʻo holoki e kiʻi tānakiʻanga vaí he pō kimuʻá ke ʻoua naʻa lava ʻa e papitaisó.

Ne nau loto mamahi ʻo fakahoko pē ʻa e fakataha ʻo e ʻaho Sāpaté, pea malanga ʻa ʻŌliva ʻi he papitaisó mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. Hili e malangá, naʻe hanga ʻe ha faifekau fakalotofonua mo ha kāingalotu ʻo hono siasí, ʻo veuki e fakatahá mo feinga ke toho ʻo ʻave ha taha ʻo e kakai tuí.

Naʻe ʻosi angamaheni ʻaupito pē ʻa ʻEma ia mo e fakafepaki kia Siosefa mo ʻene pōpoakí. Naʻe ui ʻe ha niʻihi ʻa Siosefa ko e tangata kākā mo tukuakiʻi ʻokú ne feinga ke maʻu paʻanga mei hono kau muimuí. Naʻe taukaeʻi ʻe ha niʻihi e kakai tuí ʻo ui kinautolu ko e “Kau Māmongá.”[10] Ne tailiili ʻa ʻEma naʻa hoko ha palopalema pea ne nau toe foki ki he kiʻi vaitafé he ʻaho hokó ke fakaleleiʻi e tānakiʻanga vaí. ʻI he loloto feʻunga pē ʻa e vaí, naʻe aʻa leva ʻa ʻŌliva ki he loto vaí ʻo ne papitaiso ʻa ʻEma, Siosefa mo Poli Naiti pea mo ha toko hongofulu kehe.

Lolotonga e papitaisó, naʻe tuʻu atu pē ha kau tangata mei he mamaʻó ʻi he matāfangá, ʻo fakaʻaluma ai ki he kau tuí. Naʻe feinga ʻa ʻEma mo e niʻihi kehé ke tukunoaʻi kinautolu, ka ʻi he foki e kulupú ki he faama ʻo e fāmili Naití naʻe muimui atu pē ʻa e kau tangatá, ʻo kaila fakamanamana atu ki he palōfitá. ʻI he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Naití, naʻe loto ʻa Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ke hilifakinima e kau fafine mo e kau tangata ne toki papitaisó, ka naʻe toe tokolahi e kau fakamoveuveu he tuʻa falé ʻo aʻu ki ha kau fakatanga longoaʻa ʻe toko nimangofulu.

ʻI he hohaʻa e kau tuí naʻa ʻohofi kinautolú, naʻa nau hola ai ki ha fale he kaungāʻapí, mo fakaʻamu ʻe fakaʻosi ai hono hilifakinima kinautolú ʻi he melino. Ka kimuʻa pea nau fakahoko e ngaahi ouaú, naʻe taki pōpula ai ʻe ha polisi ʻa Siosefa ʻo fakahū pilīsone ko e fakatupu moveuveu he koló, ʻi heʻene malangaʻi e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.

Naʻe fakahū ai ʻa Siosefa he pō ko iá, pea ʻikai ke ne fakapapauʻi pe ʻe puke ia ʻe he kau fakatangá ʻo fai e meʻa ne nau fakamanamanaʻi ʻaki iá. Lolotonga iá ne kei talitali pē ʻa ʻEma he ʻapi hono tokouá, mo nau lotua pea mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻi Kolesivilí ke tukuange lelei mai pē ʻa Siosefa.[11]

Naʻe hopoʻi ʻa Siosefa he fakamaauʻangá he ʻaho ʻe ua hoko maí pea tāmateʻi e tikité, ka naʻe toe taki pōpula ia ʻo hopoʻi pē ʻi he tukuakiʻi tatau. Naʻe tukuange ia hili e hopo hono uá pea naʻá ne foki mo ʻEma ki hona fāmá ʻi Hāmoni, kimuʻa pea fakamaʻu ia mo e Kāingalotu Kolesivilí ke nau hoko ko ha kau mēmipa ʻo e siasí.[12]

Naʻe toe feinga ʻa Siosefa ʻi hono ʻapí ke toe ngāue ʻi heʻene fāmá, ka naʻe fai ange ʻe he ʻEikí ha fakahā foʻou ki he founga ke fakaʻaongaʻi ki ai hono taimí. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, “Ke ke fai hoʻo ngāue kotoa pē ʻi Saione.” “He ʻikai te ke maʻu ha mālohi ʻi he ngaahi ngāue fakaemāmaní, he ʻoku ʻikai ko e ngāue ia kuo ui koe ki aí.” Naʻe talaange kia Siosefa ke tō ʻene ngoué pea ʻalu ke fakamaʻu e kāingalotu foʻou ʻi Niu ʻIoké.[13]

Naʻe ʻomi ʻe he fakahaá ni ha fakaʻaloʻalongaua lahi ʻi he moʻui ʻa ʻEmá. ʻE founga fēfē haʻana moʻui ʻo kapau ʻoku tukutaha pē tokanga ia ʻa Siosefá ki he Kāingalotú? Pea ko e hā ʻene meʻa ʻe fai lolotonga ʻene mavahe ʻo tokoni ki he siasí? Naʻe totonu koā ke nofo ʻi ʻapi pe naʻe finangalo ʻa e ʻEikí ke na ō? Pea kapau ko Hono finangaló ia, ko e hā leva hono fatongia ʻi he siasí?

ʻI hono ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻEikí e loto-holi ʻa ʻEma ki ha fakahinohinó, naʻá Ne folofola ange ʻi ha fakahā ʻo fakafou ʻia Siosefa. Naʻá ne fakamolemoleʻi ʻene ngaahi angahalá pea ui ia ko ha “fefine kuo fili.” Naʻá ne fakahinohinoʻi ia ke na ō mo Siosefa heʻene ngaahi fefonongaʻakí mo talaʻofa ange, “ʻE fakanofo koe ʻi hono nimá ke fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ngaahi folofolá, pea ke ekinaki ki he siasí.”

Naʻá ne fakanonga foki ʻene hohaʻa fekauʻaki mo ʻena meʻa fakapaʻangá. Naʻá Ne fakalotolahi ange, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻaonga ke ke manavahē, koeʻuhí he ʻe poupouʻi koe ʻe ho husepānití.”

Naʻe fakahinohinoʻi leva ia ʻe he ʻEikí ke ne filifili ha ngaahi himi toputapu maʻá e siasí. Naʻá Ne folofola ʻo pehē, “He ʻoku fiefia ʻa hoku laumālié ʻi he hiva ʻo e lotó.”[14]

Hili pē hono maʻu e fakahaá, naʻe fononga ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma ki Kolesivili, ʻa ia ne faifai pea hilifakinima ai ʻa ʻEma mo e Kāingalotú. ʻI hono maʻu ʻe he kau mēmipa foʻoú e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, naʻe nofoʻia e lokí ʻe he Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí. Naʻe fiefia mo fakafetaʻi e taha kotoa ki he ʻOtuá.[15]

ʻI he konga kimui ʻo e faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá, naʻe totongi ʻosi ai ʻe Siosefa mo ʻEma ʻena fāmá, ʻi ha tokoni ʻa hona ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, peá na hiki ki Feieti ke lava ʻo maʻu ha taimi lahi ange ʻo Siosefa ki he siasí.[16] Ka ʻi he hili ʻena tūʻuta ki aí, naʻá na ʻiloʻi ai kuo feinga ʻa Hailame Peisi, ko ha taha ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻe Toko Valú pea mo ha akonaki ʻi he Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻEloné, ke ne maʻu ha ngaahi fakahā maʻá e siasí ʻo fakafou ʻi ha meʻa naʻá ne pehē ko ha foʻi maka kikite.[17] Naʻe tokolahi ha Kāingalotu, kau ai ʻa ʻŌliva mo ha kau mēmipa ʻe niʻihi ʻo e fāmili Uitemaá, ne nau tui ko e ngaahi fakahā ko iá mei he ʻOtuá.[18]

Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Siosefa ko ha faingataʻa ʻeni naʻá ne fekuki mo ia. Naʻe faʻifaʻitaki e ngaahi fakahā ʻa Hailamé ki he fakalea ʻo e folofolá.

Hili ha ngaahi houa lahi ʻo e taʻemamohé, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha fakahā naʻe fakataumuʻa mai kia ʻŌliva. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai ke fili ha taha ke ne maʻu ʻa e ngaahi fekau mo e ngaahi fakahā ʻi he siasi ko ʻení, tuku kehe pē ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siosefa Sāmita … he kuo pau ke fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo maau, pea ʻi he felototahaʻaki ʻi he siasí.” Naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻŌliva ke ne akoʻi e tefitoʻi moʻoni ko ʻení kia Hailame.

Naʻe ui leva ʻi he fakahaá ʻa ʻŌliva ke ne fononga ʻi ha meimei maile ʻe tahaafe ki he tafaʻaki fakahihifo ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, ke malanga ʻaki ʻa e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí ki he kau ʻInitia Kulá, ʻa ia ko e toenga kinautolu ʻo e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻe langa ʻa e kolo ʻo Saioné ʻo ofi ki he kakaí ni, ko hono fakahoko ia e talaʻofa ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻe hanga ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻo fokotuʻu ʻa e Selusalema Foʻoú ʻi he konitinēniti ko ʻAmeliká, kimuʻa ʻi he Hāʻele ʻAnga Ua Mai ʻa Kalaisí. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne fakamahinoʻi e tuʻuʻanga totonu ʻo e koló, ka naʻá Ne talaʻofa ke tuku mai e fakamatala ko iá ʻamuiange.[20]

Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai ʻi he konifelenisi ʻa e siasí, naʻe fakasītuʻaʻi ai ʻe he Kāingalotú e ngaahi fakahā ʻa Hailamé pea nau hikinimaʻi ai ʻi he lototaha ko Siosefa pē ʻa e tokotaha ʻe lava ke maʻu fakahā maʻá e siasí.[21]

Naʻe ui ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Pita Uitemā ko e Siʻí, Sipa Pitasoni pea mo Paʻale Pālati ke nau ō fakataha mo ʻŌliva ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau ki he Hihifó.[22] Lolotonga iá, naʻe kamata tuitui ʻe ʻEma mo e kau fafine kehé ha vala maʻá e kau faifekaú. Ne nau ngāue ʻi ha ngaahi houa lōloa, ʻo takai e filó pea lalanga pe niti e kulasí ke hoko ko ha vala, mo tuitui fakakongokonga e valá.[23]

Naʻe toki foki mai ʻa Paʻale mo Fakafetaʻi ki Feieti, hili ʻene vahevahe ange e ongoongoleleí ki ai mo ha kau mēmipa kehe ʻo hono fāmilí. ʻI heʻene mavahe ʻo fononga ki he Hihifó, naʻe hiki hono malí ʻo nofo mo Mele Uitemā, ʻa ia naʻá ne talitali fiefia ia ki hono ʻapí.

ʻI he fononga ʻa Paʻale ki Mīsulí, naʻá ne palani ke ʻalu mo ha kau faifekau kehe ki he siteiti ko ʻŌhaioó, naʻe nofo ai ʻene faifekau kimuʻa ko Sitenei Likitoní. Naʻe ʻamanaki ʻa Paʻale te nau tokanga ki heʻenau pōpoakí.[24]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu māfana tatau pē ko iá, ʻi ha kolo ne ʻaho ʻe ua e fononga ki ai mei Feietí, naʻe feʻiloaki ai ʻa Lota Kulini mo e tokoua ʻo e palōfitá ko Samuela Sāmita, ʻi he hūʻanga ki hono falé. Naʻe ʻosi fetaulaki pē ʻa Lota mo Samuela kimuʻa, ʻo ne tukuange ai ha tatau ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Lotá. Naʻe kei fononga hono malí ko Sione, ʻo malanga ʻi ha siasi kehe, pea naʻá ne pehē ko ha tohi laulaunoa ia, ka naʻá ne ʻave pē ʻa e tohí heʻene fonongá ke ne tānaki e ngaahi hingoa ʻo ha taha pē ʻe mahuʻingaʻia ʻi hono pōpoakí.

Naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Lota ʻa Samuela ke hū ange ki fale, mo ne talaange ʻoku teʻeki ai pē mahuʻingaʻia ha taha ia ʻi he Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Naʻe talaange ʻe Lota, “Kuo pau ke ke ʻalu koe mo e tohí. ʻOku ʻikai fie fakatau ia ʻe Misa Kulini.”

Naʻe toʻo ʻe Samuela e Tohi ʻa Molomoná peá ne tafoki ke ʻalu, mo e talaange ʻe Lota kuó ne lau ia pea naʻá ne saiʻia ai. Naʻe tuʻu hifo ʻa Samuela. Naʻe talaange ʻe Samuela, “Te u ʻoatu maʻau e tohí ni,” mo ne fakafoki e tohí. “ʻOku hanga ʻe he Laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo taʻofi au ke ʻoua naʻá ku ʻave ia.”

Naʻe loʻimataʻia ʻa Lota ʻi hono toe fakafoki ange e tohí. Naʻe talaange ʻe Samuela, “Kole ki he ʻOtuá ke ne ʻoatu ha fakamoʻoni ki hono moʻoni ʻo e ngāué, pea te ke ongoʻi ha loto vela māfana ʻi ho fatafatá, ʻa ia ko e Laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá.”

ʻI he foki mai kimui ange ʻa e husepāniti ʻo Lotá ki honau ʻapí, naʻe fakamatala ange ʻe he fefiné ni e ʻaʻahi ange ʻa Samuelá. Naʻe tomuʻa momou ʻa Sione ke ne lotua e tohí, ka naʻe fakalotoʻi ia ʻe Lota ke ne falala ki he palōmesi ʻa Samuelá.

Naʻe talaange ʻe he fefiné, “ʻOku ou ʻilo he ʻikai ke lea loi. ʻOku ou ʻilo ko ha tangata lelei ia, kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha pehē.”

Naʻe lotua ʻe Lota mo Sione ʻa e tohí peá na maʻu ha fakamoʻoni ki hono moʻoní. Ne na vahevahe leva ia ki hona fāmilí mo e kaungāʻapí, ʻo kau ai e kiʻi tuongaʻane ʻo Lota ko Pilikihami ʻIongí mo hono kaungāmeʻa ko Hiipa Kimipoló.[25]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlaú, naʻe fakafanongo lelei ai ʻa e tangata taʻu tolungofulu mā valu ko Sitenei Likitoní ki he fakamoʻoni ʻa Paʻale Pālati mo hono ngaahi hoa faifekau ʻe toko tolú, ʻo kau ki ha folofola foʻou, ʻa ia ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻa Sitenei ia. Kuo taʻu lahi ʻene enginaki ki he kakai ʻi he kolo ko Ketilani, ʻOhaioó, ke nau lau e Tohi Tapú pea ke nau foki ki he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e siasi Fuakava Foʻoú. Naʻá ne talaange ki he kau faifekaú, kuo tataki maʻu pē ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa ʻene moʻuí, pea kuo feʻunga pē ia.[26]

Naʻe fakamanatu ange ʻe Paʻale kia Sitenei, “Naʻá ke ʻomi ʻa e moʻoní kiate au. ʻI heʻeku hoko ko ho kaungāmeʻá, ʻoku ou kole atu he taimí ni ke ke lau ʻeni maʻaku.”[27]

Naʻe vili kikihi ange pē ʻa Sitenei, “Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻá ta fakakikihi ʻi he kaveinga ko iá. Ka te u lau hoʻo tohí mo sio pe ko e hā haʻane lau ʻe fai ki heʻeku tuí.”[28]

Naʻe kole ʻe Paʻale kia Sitenei pe ʻe lava ke nau malanga ki hono kāingalotú. Neongo naʻe momou ʻa Sitenei ki heʻenau pōpoakí, ka naʻá ne fakangofua pē kinautolu.

Hili e mavahe ʻa e kau faifekaú, naʻe lau ʻe Sitenei ha konga ʻo e tohí peá ne ʻilo ai naʻe ʻikai lava ke ne tukunoaʻi ia.[29] ʻI he taimi naʻe malanga ai ʻa Paʻale mo ʻŌliva ki hono kāingalotú, naʻe ʻikai haʻane holi ke fakatokanga ki ha taha ʻo kau ki he tohí. ʻI heʻene tuʻu hake ke lea he fakaʻosinga e fakatahá, naʻá ne lau mei he Tohi Tapú.

ʻO ne pehē ai, “ʻAhiʻahiʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, puke ke maʻu ʻa ia ʻoku leleí.”[30]

Ka naʻe teʻeki ai fakapapauʻi ʻe Sitenei pe ko e hā te ne faí. Kapau te ne tali e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻe mole ʻene ngāue totongi ko e faifekaú. Naʻá ne maʻu ha kāingalotu lelei, pea naʻá ne maʻu ha moʻui fiemālie mo hono uaifi ko Fīpeé mo ʻena fānau ʻe toko onó. Naʻe ʻi ai ha kakai ʻi hono kāingalotú ne nau langa ha ʻapi moʻonautolu.[31] Te ne lava nai ʻo kole ki hono fāmilí ke nau liʻaki e fiemālie kuo nau maʻú?

Naʻe lotu ʻa Sitenei kae ʻoua kuó ne ongoʻi ha nonga. Naʻá ne ʻilo naʻe moʻoni e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Naʻá ne pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai fakahā ia kiate au ʻe he kakanó mo e totó, ka ko ʻeku Tamai ʻoku ʻi he langí.”[32]

Naʻe vahevahe ange ʻe Sitenei kia Fīpē ʻa e ongo naʻá ne maʻú. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻE hoku ʻofaʻanga, naʻá ke ʻosi muimui ʻiate au ʻi he masivá. ‘Okú ke loto nai ke fai e meʻa tatau?”

Naʻe tali ange hono uaifí, “Kuó u ʻosi lau e fakamolé. Ko hoku lotó ke fai e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e moʻui pe mate ʻe hoko maí.”[33]

Tānaki Fakataha Mai

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ʻo e 1830, ʻo ʻikai mamaʻo mei Ketilani, naʻe fakaʻosi ai ʻe Lusi Moalī ʻa ʻene ngaahi ngāue fakaʻapi angamahení pea tangutu leva ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo ʻene pule ngāué, ko ʻApikale Taniela. ʻI he ngāue ʻa ʻApikale ʻi heʻene mīsini lālangá, ʻo ʻunu fefokifokiʻaki holo e tuʻuʻanga filó ke fakafehauaki kinautolú, naʻe vete ʻe Lusi e filó ʻo tui ki he tuʻuʻanga filó. ʻE ʻave ʻa e vala naʻe lalangá ki he fineʻeiki ʻa Lusí ke fakafetongi ʻaki e ngāue tokoni ʻoku fai ʻe Lusi ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Tanielá. Naʻe fakafalala ʻa ʻApikale kia Lusi ke tokoni ki he maʻa mo e mākona hono fāmilí, he naʻe tokolahi ha fānau ʻi honau ʻapí, pea ʻikai haʻane fānau fefine taʻu hongofulu tupu.

Lolotonga ʻena ngāue fakatahá, naʻá na fanongo ki ha tukituki ʻi he matapaá. Ne ui atu ʻa ʻApikale, “Hū mai.”

ʻI he sio hake ʻa Lusi mei he ʻaiʻanga filó, naʻá ne mamata atu ki ha kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ʻoku nau hū mai ki he lokí. Ko ha kau sola kinautolu, ka naʻa nau teunga lelei pea hā ngali anga fakakaumeʻa. Ne hangē naʻa nau siʻisiʻi hifo ʻia ʻApikale, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi hono taʻu tolungofulu tupu siʻí, ʻaki ha ngaahi taʻu siʻi.

Naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Lusi pea ʻomi ha ʻū sea lahi ange ki he lokí. ʻI he tangutu hifo ʻa e kau tangatá, naʻá ne toʻo honau tataá peá ne foki ki hono nofoʻangá. Naʻe fakafeʻiloaki ʻe he kau tangatá kinautolu ko ʻŌliva Kautele, Paʻale Palati mo Saipa Pitasoni, ko ha kau tangata malanga mei Niu ʻIoke naʻa nau fou atu ʻi he koló ʻi heʻenau fononga ki he Hihifó. Naʻa nau pehē kuo toe fakafoki mai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻEne ongoongolelei moʻoní ki honau kangāmeʻá, ko ha palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmita.

ʻI heʻenau leá, naʻe ngāue fakalongolongo pē ʻa Lusi. Naʻe talanoa ʻa e kau tangatá fekauʻaki mo e kau ʻāngelo, mo ha seti ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peleti koula naʻe liliu ʻe he palōfitá ʻi he fakahā. Naʻa nau fakamoʻoniʻi naʻe fekauʻi mai kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi heʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú ke malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí ʻi ha toe taimi fakaʻosi ʻe taha kimuʻa pea hoko e Hāʻele ʻAngaua Mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí.

ʻI he ʻosi ʻenau pōpoakí, naʻe taʻofi e longoaʻa ʻo e filo ʻa ʻApikalé, pea naʻe tafoki hake ʻa e fefiné ʻi hono seá. “ʻOku ʻikai ke u fie maʻu ke akoʻi hoʻomou tokāteline fakamalaʻiá ʻi hoku falé,” ko ʻene lea fakaʻitá atu ia mo taʻalo ʻaki ʻene vaʻa papa lalangá ʻi honau fofongá.

Naʻe feinga ʻa e kau tangatá ke fakalotoʻi ia, ʻo fakamoʻoniʻi naʻe moʻoni ʻa ʻenau pōpoakí Ka naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe ʻApikale ke nau mavahe, mo ne pehē ʻoku ʻikai ke ne fie maʻu kinautolu ke nau ʻuliʻi ʻene fānaú ʻaki e ngaahi tokāteline loí. Naʻe kole ange ʻe he kau tangatá pe te ne lava pē ā ʻo fafanga kinautolu. Naʻa nau fiekaia pea naʻe teʻeki ke nau kai ʻi he ʻahó kakato.

Naʻe tali fakaʻitaʻi atu ʻe ʻApikale, “He ʻikai ke ʻoatu ha meʻa ke mou kai ʻi hoku falé. “ʻOku ʻikai ke u fafanga e kakai kākaá.”

Fakafokifā pē, kuo lea hake ʻa Lusi, ʻi heʻene fakatumutumu ʻi he lea taʻefakaʻapaʻapa pehē ʻa ʻApikale ki he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku nofo ʻeku tamaí ʻi ha maile ʻe taha mei heni. ʻOku ʻikai ke ne teitei tuku ke ʻalu fiekaia ha taha mei hono matapaá. ʻAlu ki ai pea ʻe fafanga mo tokangaʻi kimoutolu.”

Naʻá ne toʻo mai honau tataá pea muimui atu ʻa Lusi ʻi he kau faifekaú ki tuʻa pea fakahinohino ange ʻa e hala ki he fale ʻo ʻene ongomātuʻá. Naʻe fakamālō ange ʻa e kau tangatá pea nau kamata lue atu he halá.

Naʻa nau pehē ange, “ʻOfa ke faitāpuekina koe ʻe he ʻOtuá.”

Hili ʻa e pulia ʻa e kau tangatá, naʻe foki atu ʻa Lusi ki fale. Naʻe tangutu ʻa ʻApikale ʻi heʻene papa lalangá ʻo feʻunuʻaki ʻa e filó. Naʻá ne lea ange kia Lusi ʻo hā mahino ʻene ʻitá, “ʻOfa pē ʻokú ke ongoʻi lelei ange he taimí ni.”

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Lusi, “ʻIo, ʻoku ou ongoʻi pehē.”[1]

Hangē ko ia naʻe palōmesi ange ʻe Lusí, naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau faifekau ʻe toko tolú ha meʻatokoni fakaʻofoʻofa ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Moalií. Naʻe hoko ʻene ongomātuʻá, ʻa ʻAisake mo Lusi, ko ha mēmipa ʻo e haʻofanga ʻa Sitenei Likitoní, pea naʻá na tui ko e kau muimui ʻo Kalaisí ʻoku totonu ke nau fevahevaheʻaki ʻenau koloá mo e kelekelé mo e niʻihi kehé ʻo hangē ha fāmili lahi ʻe tahá. ʻI heʻena muimui ki he sīpinga ʻa e kāingalotu ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú ʻa ia naʻa nau feinga ke “meʻa tahá,” naʻá na fakaʻatā ʻena faama lahí ki ha ngaahi fāmili kehe naʻa nau fie maʻu ke nofo fakataha mo moʻui ʻaki ʻenau tuí, ʻo mavahe mei he māmani feʻauʻauhi, pea faʻa siokita ʻoku takatakai kinautolú.[2]

ʻI he efiafi ko iá, naʻe akoʻi ʻe he kau faifekaú ʻa e fāmili Moalií mo honau ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. Naʻe tali ʻe he ngaahi fāmilí ʻa e pōpoaki ʻa e kau faifekaú kau ki he teuteu ki he toe hāʻele mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mo pule ʻi he nofo tuʻí, pea ʻi he tuʻuapoó, ne papitaiso ai ha toko hongofulu mā fitu.

ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ka hokó, ne laka hake ʻi ha kakai ʻe toko nimangofulu ʻi Ketilani ne kau atu ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻa e kau faifekaú mo kole ke nau kau ki he siasí.[3] Ne tokolahi honau niʻihi ne nofo ʻi he faama Moalií, kau ai ʻa Pita, ko ha pōpula ne fakatauʻatāinaʻi ʻa ia ne haʻu ʻene fineʻeikí mei ʻAfilika Hihifo.[4] Ne aʻu pē kia ʻApikale Taniela, ʻa ia naʻá ne fakasītuʻaʻi vave ʻa e kau faifekaú, naʻá ne tali lelei ʻenau pōpoakí hili ʻene fanongo mo hono husepānití ki heʻenau malangá.[5]

ʻI he tupulaki ‘a e Siasí ʻi ʻOhaioó, tautautefito ki he kau muimui ʻa Siteneí, naʻe lipooti ʻe ʻŌliva ʻa e ongoongo fakafiefiá kia Siosefa. Ne kole ʻe ha kakai tokolahi ange he ʻaho kotoa pē ke fanongo ki heʻenau pōpoakí. “ʻOku tokolahi ha kakai heni ʻoku nau fie maʻu ke fakatau e Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo fakaʻamu te ke lava ʻo ʻomi ha tatau ʻe nimangeau.”[6]

Neongo ʻene fiefia ʻi heʻenau lavameʻa ʻi ʻOhaioó, ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻŌliva kuo uiuiʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ke malanga ki he Kau ʻInitia Kulá, ʻa ē naʻa nau nofo ʻi he kauʻāfonua fakahihifo ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití.

Te Mou Maʻu ʻEku Fonó

Naʻe houngaʻia ʻa Ane mo Niueli Uitenī ke talitali ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma ʻi Ketilani. Neongo naʻe ‘i ai ha fānau iiki ʻe toko tolu mo ha mehikitanga naʻe nofo mo kinautolu, naʻa nau fakaafeʻi e fāmili Sāmitá ke nau nofo ʻi honau ʻapí kae ʻoua kuo maʻu ha feituʻu maʻanautolu. Koeʻuhí naʻe vave ʻa e fāʻele ʻa ʻEmá, ne hiki leva ʻa Ane mo Niueli ki ha loki ʻi ʻolunga kae lava ke ne maʻu mo Siosefa ʻa e loki ʻi laló.[1]

Hili ʻena hiki atu ki he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Uitenií, naʻe kamata ke ʻaʻahi ʻa Siosefa ki he kau papi uluí. Ko Ketilaní ko ha fakatahaʻi ia ʻo ha fanga kiʻi fale iiki mo e ngaahi falekoloa ʻi ha moʻunga he fakatonga ʻo e falekoloa Uitenií. Naʻe lele ha kiʻi vaitafe ʻi he tafatafaʻaki ʻo e koló, ʻo ne ʻoatu e maʻuʻanga ivi ki he ngaahi fahiʻanga papá mo tafe ki ha vaitafe lahi ange ʻi he tokelaú. Naʻe nofo ai ha kakai ʻe meimei toko tahaafe.[2]

ʻI he ʻaʻahi ʻa Siosefa ki he kāingalotú, naʻá ne vakai ki heʻenau loto vēkeveke ki ha ngaahi meʻafoaki fakalaumālié mo ʻenau loto holi moʻoni ke moʻui ʻo hangē ko e kāingalotu ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú.[3] Naʻe ʻofa ʻa Siosefa ʻi he ngaahi meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālié pea naʻá ne ʻilo naʻe ʻi ai honau fatongia ʻi he siasi kuo toe fakafoki maí, ka naʻá ne hohaʻa naʻa fuʻu tōtuʻa e tokanga ʻa ha niʻihi ʻo e Kāingalotu ʻo Ketiilaní ki aí.

Naʻá ne lava ʻo sio naʻe ʻi ai ha ngāue faingataʻa ke ne fai. Kuo liunga ua pe lahi ange ʻa e siasí ʻi he kau mai ʻa e Kāingalotu Ketilaní, ka naʻe hā mahino naʻa nau fie maʻu ha toe fakahinohino mei he ʻEikí.

ʻI ha maile ʻe valungeau ki he fakahihifó, ne tūʻuta atu ʻa ʻŌliva mo e kau faifekau kehé ki he kiʻi kolo ko Tauʻatāina ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoni, Mīsulí, ʻi he kauʻāfonua fakahihifo ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití. Naʻa nau maʻu ha nofoʻanga mo ha ngāue ke tokoni kiate kinautolu pea fakahoko ha ngaahi palani ke ʻaʻahi ki he kau ʻInitia Telaueá, ʻa ia naʻa nau nofo ʻi ha feituʻu ne lau maile siʻi ki he fakahihifo ʻo e koló.[4]

Ko e kau Telaueá, ne nau toki hiki mai ki he feituʻú hili ia hono fakamālohiʻi kinautolu mei honau fonuá ʻe he ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e puleʻanga ʻIunaiteti Siteití ki hono tekeʻi e kau ʻInitia Kulá. Ko honau takí, ʻa Kikatauenani, ko ha tangata motuʻa kuó ne fāinga ʻo laka hake ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu mā nimá ke pukepuke fakataha hono kakaí lolotonga ia hono teke fakahihifo kinautolu ʻe he kakai nofo foʻou maí mo e Kautau ʻAmeliká.[5]

ʻI ha ʻaho momoko ʻi Sanuali 1831, naʻe fononga atu ʻa ʻŌliva mo Paʻale ke feʻiloaki mo Kikatauenaniti. Naʻá na ʻilo ia ʻokú ne tangutu ʻi ha veʻe afi ʻi loto ʻi ha fale ʻakau lahi ʻi he nofoʻanga Telaueá. Naʻá ne lulululu loto māfana mo kinaua pea fakahinohino ange ke na tangutu ʻi ha ʻū kafu. Ne tuku mai leva ʻe hono ngaahi uaifí ha laulau kapa ne fonu piini haka mao mo ha koane ʻi muʻa ʻi he kau faifekaú, pea naʻa nau kai ʻaki ʻa sēpuni ʻakau.

Naʻe lea ʻa ʻŌliva mo Paʻale kia Kikatauenani ʻaki e tokoni ʻa ha tangata liliu lea, fekauʻaki mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo kole ha faingamālie ke vahevahe hono pōpoakí mo ʻene fakataha alēlea pulé. Naʻe angamaheni ʻaki hono fakafepakiʻi ʻe Kikatauenani ʻa hono tukuange ʻa e kau faifekaú ke lea ki hono kakaí, ka naʻá ne talaange te ne fakakaukau ki ai pea talaange ʻi ha taimi nounou mei ai ʻa ʻene fakakaukaú.

Naʻe toe foki atu ʻa e kau faifekaú ko hono fale ʻakaú ʻi he pongipongi hono hokó, pea hili ha fealeaʻaki, naʻe ui ʻe he takí ha fakataha alēlea peá ne fakaafeʻi e kau faifekaú ke nau lea.

Naʻe fakamālō ʻa ʻŌliva kiate kinautolu mo vakai atu ki he ngaahi fofonga ʻo e kau fanongó. Naʻá ne pehē, “Kuo mau fononga ʻi he feituʻu maomaonganoá, kolosi ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe lalahi mo lolotó, pea fou mai ʻi he sinou lolotó ke fakahoko atu e ʻilo lahi kuo mau toki fanongo mo ongoʻi ʻoku moʻoní.”

Naʻá ne fakafeʻiloaki e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko ha hisitōlia ʻo e ngaahi kui ʻo e Kau ʻInitia Kulá. Naʻá ne fakamatala, “Ko e tohí naʻe hiki ʻi ha ʻū lauʻi peleti koula, pea tukufakaholo mai mei he tamai ki he foha ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu mo e toʻu tangata lahi.” Naʻá ne talaange ʻa e founga ne tokoniʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Siosefa ke ne maʻu mo liliu ʻa e ʻū lauʻi peletí koeʻuhí kae lava ʻo pulusi mo vahevahe ia ki he kakai kotoa pē, ʻo kau ai ʻa e kau ʻInitiá.

Hili ʻene leá, naʻe ʻoange ʻe ʻŌliva kia Kikatauenani ha Tohi ʻa Molomona mo talitali lolotonga ʻene sivisiviʻi ia mo ʻene fakataha alēleá. Naʻe talaange ʻe he tangata toulekeleká, “ʻOku tau ongoʻi houngaʻia moʻoni ʻi hotau ngaahi kaungāmeʻa hinehina kuo nau haʻu mamaʻo, mo ngāue mālohi ke talamai ʻa e ongoongolelei ko ʻení pea tautautefito ki he ongoongo foʻou ko ʻeni fekauʻaki mo ʻetau ngaahi kuí.”

Ka naʻá ne fakamatala foki ne faingataʻa ʻa e ʻea ʻo e faʻahitaʻu momokó ki hono kakaí. Naʻe masiva honau ngaahi nofoʻangá, pea naʻe mate ai ʻenau fanga monumanú. Naʻe pau ke nau langa ha ngaahi ʻapi mo e ʻā pea teuteu ʻa e fāmá ki he faʻahitaʻu failaú. ʻI he taimi ní, ne ʻikai ke nau mateuteu ke talitali ha kau faifekau.

Naʻe palōmesi ange ʻa Kikatauenani “Te mau langa ha fale ki he fakataha alēleá pea mau fakataha kotoa, pea te mou lau kiate kimautolu mo akoʻi kimautolu ʻo lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e tohi ʻo ʻemau ngaahi kuí mo e finangalo ʻo e Laumālie Lahí.”[6]

Ne maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha lipooti meia ʻŌliva hili ha ngaahi uike siʻi. Hili ʻene fakamatalaʻi e ʻaʻahi ʻa e kau faifekaú kia Kikatauenaní, naʻe fakahoko ange ʻe ʻŌliva ʻoku teʻeki pē ke ne fakapapauʻi pe ʻe tali ʻe he kau Telaueá ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Naʻá ne tohi, “ʻOku ʻikai ke u fakapapauʻi pe ʻe fēfē hono tali ʻo e meʻá ni ʻi he matakali ko ʻení.”[7]

Naʻe kei fakatuʻamelie pē ʻa Siosefa fekauʻaki mo e ngāue fakafaifekau ki he kau ʻInitiá, neongo e tuku ʻene tokangá ki hono fakamālohia ʻo e siasí ʻi Ketilaní. Hili ha taimi nounou mei heʻene feʻiloaki mo e Kāingalotu ʻi aí, naʻá ne maʻu ha fakahā maʻanautolu. Naʻe toe talaʻofa ai ʻe he ʻEikí, “Pea te mou maʻu ʻeku fonó ʻi he lotu ʻo hoʻomou tuí, koeʻuhí ke mou ʻiloʻi ʻa e founga ki hono puleʻi ʻa hoku siasí pea ʻai ke totonu ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi hoku ʻaó.”[8]

Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Siosefa mei heʻene ako ʻa e Tohi Tapú naʻe foaki ʻe he ʻEikí kia Mōsese ha fono ʻi heʻene tataki hono kakaí ki he fonua ʻo e talaʻofá. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi foki naʻe hāʻele mai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ki he māmaní pea fakamahino ʻa ʻEne fonó ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻEne ngāué. Ko ʻeni te Ne toe fakahā mai e fonó ki Hono kakai ʻo e fuakavá.

ʻI he fakahā foʻoú, naʻe fakahikihikiʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻEtuate Patilisi koeʻuhi ko ʻene loto maʻá mo uiuiʻi ia ko e fuofua pīsope ʻo e siasí. Naʻe ʻikai fakamatala fakaikiiki ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi fatongia ʻo ha pīsope, ka naʻá Ne folofola ke tuku kakato ʻe ʻEtuate hono taimí ki he siasí mo tokoni ki he Kāingalotú ke talangofua ki he fono ʻe ʻoatu ʻe he ʻEikí kiate kinautolú.[9]

Hili ha uike ʻe taha mei ai ʻi Fepueli  ʻaho 9, naʻe feʻiloaki ʻa ʻEtuate mo Siosefa mo e kaumātuʻa kehe ʻo e siasí ke lotu mo maʻu ʻa e fonó. Naʻe ʻeke ʻe he kaumātuʻá kia Siosefa ha ngaahi fehuʻi lahi fekauʻaki mo e fonó, pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e talí ʻo fakafou ʻiate ia.[10] Naʻe toe ʻomi ʻe he ngaahi talí ni ha ngaahi moʻoni angamaheni, ʻo fakapapauʻi mai ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e Ngaahi Fekau ʻe Hongofulú mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻa Sīsuú. Ne ʻomi ʻe ha niʻihi ha ngaahi fakakaukau foʻou ki he Kāingalotú ki he founga ʻo hono tauhi ʻo e ngaahi fekaú mo tokoni kiate kinautolu ʻoku nau maumauʻi e ngaahi fekaú ni.[11]

Ne toe ʻoatu foki ʻe he ʻEikí ha ngaahi fekau ke tokoni ki he Kāingalotú ke nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kakai ʻo ʻĪnoké. Naʻe fie maʻu ke nau fakakaukau ki honau ngaahi ʻapí mo e ʻenau koloá ko ha fatongia tauhi toputapu kuo foaki kiate kinautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá, koeʻuhí ke nau lava ʻo tokangaʻi honau ngaahi fāmilí, tokoniʻi e masivá, mo langa ʻa Saione, kae ʻikai vahevahe tatau ʻa e kelekelé ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he kakai ʻi he faama ʻo e fāmili Moalií.

Ko e Kāingalotu naʻa nau fili ke talangofua ki he fonó, naʻe fie maʻu ke nau fakatāpui ʻenau koloá ki he siasí ʻaki ʻenau foaki fakalao ia ki he pīsopé. Te ne toki fakafoki ange ha kelekele mo ha koloa kiate kinautolu ko ha tofiʻa ʻi Saione, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi fie maʻu ʻo honau ngaahi fāmilí. Ko e Kāingalotu ko ia naʻe maʻu honau tofiʻá, naʻe pau ke nau ngāue ko ha kau tauhi ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e kelekele mo e meʻangāue kuo nau maʻú pea fakafoki e meʻa naʻe ʻikai fakaʻaongaʻí ke tokoni ki he masivá mo langa ʻa Saione mo e temipalé.[12]

Naʻe poupouʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Kāingalotú ke talangofua ki he fono ko ʻení mo hokohoko atu e fekumi ki he moʻoní. Naʻá Ne talaʻofa ʻo pehē, “Kapau te ke kole, te ke maʻu ha fakahā hoko mo e fakahā, pea mo ha ʻilo hoko mo e ʻilo, koeʻuhí ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa liló mo e ngaahi meʻa fakamelinó—ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻomi ʻa e fiefiá, ʻa e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻomi ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá.”[13]

Naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha ngaahi fakahā kehe ʻa ia ne ʻomi ai e māú ki he siasí. ʻI he tali ʻa e ʻEikí ki ha ngaahi tōʻonga ne tōtuʻa ʻa ha Kāingalotu ʻe niʻihi, naʻá Ne fakatokanga ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi laumālie kākā ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní, ʻoku nau kākaaʻi ʻa e kakaí ke nau fakakaukau ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní naʻá ne ʻai kinautolu ke nau anga fakakaivaó. Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻEikí naʻe ʻikai ʻai ʻe he Laumālié ke hohaʻa mo puputuʻu ʻa e kakaí, ka ke hiki hake mo fakahinohino kinautolu.

Naʻá Ne fakahā, “Ko e meʻa ʻoku ʻikai fakamāmaʻí ʻoku ʻikai mei he ʻOtuá ia”[14]

Hili pē ha taimi nounou mei hono fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ʻEne fonó ʻi Ketilaní, naʻe fakaʻosi ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻenau teuteu ke fakataha ki ʻOhaioó. Naʻa nau fakatau atu ʻa honau fonuá mo e koloá ʻi he mole lahi ʻiate kinautolu, faʻo ʻenau ngaahi ngaʻotoʻotá ʻi ha ngaahi saliote, mo e lea māvae ki he fāmilí mo e kaungāmeʻá.

Naʻe kau ʻa ʻElisapeti mo Tōmasi Maasi ʻi he Kāingalotu ne teuteu ke hikí. Hili hono maʻu ʻe Tōmasi ʻa e ʻū laʻi peesi mei he Tohi ʻa Molomoná pea foki ki hono ʻapi ʻi Positoní, naʻa nau hiki ki Niu ʻIoke ke ofi ange kia Siosefa mo e siasí. Naʻe haʻu ʻa e ui ke fakataha ki ʻOhaioó ʻi ha ngaahi māhina siʻi pē kimui ai, ko ia ai naʻe toe fakamāʻopoʻopo ʻa ʻElisapeti mo Tōmasi, mo fakapapauʻi ke fakataha mo e Kāingalotú mo langa ʻa Saione ʻi ha feituʻu pē ʻe fakahinohino ʻe he ʻEikí.

Naʻe tupu ʻa e loto vilitaki ʻa ʻElisapetí mei heʻene uluí. Neongo naʻá ne tui ko e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ko ha folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá, naʻe ʻikai ke papitaiso ia ʻi he taimi pē ko iá. Hili ʻene fanauʻi ha foha ʻi Palemaila, naʻá ne kole ki he ʻEikí ha fakamoʻoni naʻe moʻoni ʻa e ongoongoleleí. Naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e fakamoʻoni naʻá ne fekumi ki aí hili ha taimi nounou mei ai peá ne kau ki he siasí, ʻo ʻikai ke ne loto ke fakaʻikaiʻi e meʻa naʻ ne ʻiló mo mateuteu ke tokoni ki he ngāué.

Naʻe tohi ʻa ʻElisapeti ki he tuofefine ʻo Tōmasí ʻi ha taimi nounou pē ki muʻa peá na mavahe ki ʻOhaioó ʻo pehē, “Kuo ʻi ai ha fuʻu liliu lahi kuo hoko ʻiate au, ʻi he sino mo e ʻatamai fakatouʻosi. ʻOku ou ongoʻi ha loto holi ke fakafetaʻi ki he meʻa kuó u maʻú mo kei fekumi ki ha meʻa lahi ange.”

ʻI he tohi tatau pē, naʻe vahevahe ʻe Tōmasi ʻa e ongoongo ʻo e tānakí. Naʻá talaange, “ʻOku ui ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e taha kotoa ke fakatomala pea fakataha fakavavevave ki ʻOhaiō.” Naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻilo pe naʻe ʻalu e Kāingalotú ki ʻOhaiō ke langa ʻa Saione pe naʻa nau teuteu ki ha toe fehikitaki lahi ange ʻi he kahaʻú. Ka naʻe ʻikai mahuʻinga ia. Kapau naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEikí kiate kinautolu ke fakataha ki Mīsuli, pea naʻa mo e ʻOtu Moʻunga Maká ʻo laka atu ʻi ha maile ʻe tahaafe ʻi he kauʻāfonua fakahihifó, naʻá ne mateuteu ke ʻalu.

Naʻá ne fakamatala ki hono tuofefiné, “ʻOku ʻikai ke mau ʻilo ʻa e meʻa ʻoku fie maʻu ke mau faí, tuku kehe ʻo ka fakahā ia kiate kimautolu.” “Ka ko e meʻa ʻeni ʻoku mau ʻiló: ʻe langa ha kolo ʻi he fonua ʻo e talaʻofá.”[15]

Naʻe toe hoko atu ʻe Siosefa mo Sitenei e liliu fakalaumālie ʻo e Tohi Tapú hili hono fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí e fonó mo e kamata ke fakataha mai e Kāingalotu mei Niu ʻIoké ki ʻOhaioó.[16] Naʻá na hoko atu mei he fakamatala ʻo ʻĪnoké ki he talanoa ʻo e pēteliake ko ʻĒpalahamá, ʻa ia naʻe talaʻofa ʻe he ʻEikí ke ngaohi ko ha tamai ʻo e ngaahi puleʻanga lahi.[17]

Naʻe ʻikai fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ha ngaahi liliu lahi ki he tohí, ka ʻi he lau ʻe Siosefa e talanoa ʻo ʻĒpalahamé, naʻá ne fakalaulauloto lahi fekauʻaki mo e moʻui ʻa e pēteliaké.[18] Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai valokiʻi ai ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻĒpalahame mo e kau pēteliake kehe ʻo e Fuakava Motuʻá ʻi heʻenau mali tokolahí, ko ha meʻa naʻe fehiʻa ai ʻa e kau lau Tohi Tapu ʻAmeliká.

Naʻe ʻomi ʻe he Tohi ʻa Molomoná ha tali ʻe taha. ʻI he kuonga ʻo Sēkopé ko e tehina ʻo Nīfaí, naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e kau tangata Nīfaí ke maʻu ha uaifi pē ʻe taha. Ka naʻá Ne toe fakahā foki te Ne lava ʻo toe fakahinohino kiate kinautolu ha meʻa ʻe taha, ʻo ka fie maʻu ʻi he ngaahi tūkungá, ke fakatupu ha fānau anga māʻoniʻoni.[19]

Naʻe lotu ʻa Siosefa fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni, pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ʻokú Ne fekau Hono kakaí he taimi ʻe niʻihi ke nau fakahoko ʻa e mali tokolahí. Naʻe teʻeki hoko e taimi ke fakahoko ai iá, ka ʻe hoko ʻa e ʻaho ʻa ia te Ne kole ai ki ha niʻihi ʻo e Kāingalotú ke fakahoko ia.[20]

Naʻe kei momoko ʻa e kelekelé ʻi he mavahe ʻa e ʻuluaki kulupú mei Niu ʻIoké. Naʻe toki mavahe ʻa e kulupu hono uá, ʻo kau ai ʻa Lusi Sāmita mo ha meimei toko valungofulu kehe, kimui siʻi mei ai. Naʻa nau totongi ha tikite ʻi ha vaka kanali ʻa ia te ne ʻomi kinautolu ki ha anovai lahi ki he hihifó. ʻI he anovaí, te nau heka leva ʻi ha vaka ʻa ia te ne ʻave kinautolu ki ha taulanga ofi ki Ketilani. Te nau fononga lalo leva mei ai ʻi he konga fakaʻosi ʻo ʻenau fononga maile ʻe tolungeaú.[21]

ʻI he kamataʻangá, naʻa nau folau lelei ka ʻi he vaeuaʻangamālie ʻo e anovaí, naʻe hoko ha maumau ʻi he konga ʻokú ne tokoni ke hiki e ʻalu ʻa e vaká he kanaí, ke ne liʻaki ai e kulupu ʻa Lusí he matāʻutoʻutá. Koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai ke nau palani ki ha fakatoloi, naʻe tokolahi ha kakai naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻomi ha meʻakai feʻunga. Naʻe hoko ʻa e fiekaiá mo e hohaʻa fekauʻaki mo e tānakí ke ne ʻai ha niʻihi ke lāunga.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Lusi kiate kinautolu, “Mou faʻa kātaki pea tuku hoʻomou lāungá. ʻOku ʻikai haʻaku toe veiveiua ko e toʻukupu ʻo e ʻEikí  ʻokú ne maluʻi kitautolu.”

Naʻa nau tūʻuta ki he anovaí hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, ka naʻa nau lotomamahi ʻi hano taʻofi kinautolu mei haʻanau toe hoko atu ʻe ha ʻaisi poloka ne matolu ʻi he taulangá.[22]

Naʻe fakaʻamu ʻa e kulupú ke nau totongi ha fale ʻi he koló lolotonga ʻenau tatalí, ka naʻa nau maʻu pē ha loki lahi ʻe taha ke nau vahevahe. Meʻa mālié, he naʻe feʻiloaki ʻa Lusi mo e kapiteni ʻo ha vaka naʻá ne ʻilo hono tuongaʻané, peá ne ngāue leva ke fetukutuku ʻene kulupú ki hono vaká lolotonga ʻenau tali ke movete e ʻaisí.[23]

Naʻe loto foʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he loto vaká. Ne tokolahi ha niʻihi ne fiekaia, pea naʻe viviku mo mokosia ʻa e taha kotoa. Naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻilo ha founga ke toe ʻunu ai ki muʻa pea nau kamata fefakakikihiʻaki ʻiate kinautolu.[24] Naʻe ʻalu ke fakalalahi ʻa e fakakikihí ʻo ne maʻu e tokanga ʻa ha niʻihi ne nau omi ke sio ai. ʻI heʻene hohaʻa naʻa fakakaukau kovi mai ʻa e niʻihi kehé ki he Kāingalotú, naʻe valokiʻi kinautolu ʻe Lusi.

“Ko fē hoʻomou tuí? Ko fē hoʻomou falala ki he ʻOtuá?” Ko ʻene ʻeké ange ia. “Ko ʻeni, ʻe kāinga, kapau te mou ʻohake homou lotó ki he langí, ke veteki e ʻaisí, pea tau ʻatā ke hoko atu, hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa e ʻEikí, kuo pau ke hoko ia.”

ʻI he momeniti ko iá, naʻe fanongo ʻa Lusi ki ha longoaʻa hangē ha pā ʻa e maná ʻi he mavaeua ʻa e ʻaisi he taulangá ʻo lahi feʻunga ke hū ai ʻa e vaká.

Lolotonga e fofonga fakahihifo ʻene fineʻeikí mo e Kāingalotu Niu ʻIoké, naʻe hiki ʻa ʻEma mo Siosefa ki ha kiʻi fale ʻakau siʻisiʻi ʻi he faama Moalií. Naʻe hoko hono tuʻunga fakatakimuʻá mo e ngaahi fakahā foʻou ne toki ʻomí ke toe maau, mahino, mo uouangataha lahi ange ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi ʻOhaioó.

Naʻe ʻikai fuʻu ola lelei pehē ʻa e ngāué ʻi Mīsuli. ʻI ha taimi ʻe taha, ne tui ʻa ʻŌliva naʻa nau fakalakalaka ki muʻa mo Kikatauenani mo hono kakaí.

Naʻe ʻi ai honau fale papa lelei ʻaupito mo ha loki lahi mo e loki mohe ʻe ua ʻi he fungavaka ʻuluakí. ʻI he fungavaka ki ʻolungá, naʻe ʻi ai ha loki mohe, loki lahi ʻe taha, mo ha tautauʻanga vala naʻe tuku ai honau valá. ʻI he konga ki lalo ʻo e falé, naʻe ʻi ai ha peito, pea mo ha tukuʻanga vesitapolo naʻe fuʻu fakapoʻuli ʻo faʻa ilifia ai ʻa ʻEmelī.

ʻI tuʻá, naʻe ʻi ai ha loto ʻataʻatā lahi ʻa e fāmili Pātilisí ke vaʻinga ai mo ʻeveʻeva ai ʻa ʻEmelī. Naʻe ʻi ai haʻanau ngoue matalaʻiʻakau mo e ʻulu ʻakau fua, fale tauhiʻanga monumanu, mo ha kongaʻapi ʻatā naʻe palani ʻene tangataʻeikí ke toe langa ai ha fale lelei ange ʻi ha ʻaho.

Naʻe ‘ikai ha taimi lahi ke ngaohi ai ‘e heʻene tangataʻeikí e ngaahi tataá koeʻuhi ko ʻene hoko ko e pīsope ʻo e siasí. ʻI he tānaki fakataha mai ʻa e Kāingalotú mei Niu ʻIoke ki ʻOhaioó, naʻe pau ke ne tokoniʻi kinautolu ke maʻu ha nofoʻanga mo kumi haʻanau ngāue.

Naʻe omi ha niʻihi ʻo e Kāingalotu Niu ʻIoké ki ʻOhaiō mo e mīselé, pea koeʻuhí naʻa nau faʻa nofo ʻi he fale ʻo e fāmili Patilisí, naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo mofi lahi pea veli ʻo kulokula ʻa ʻEmelī mo hono ngaahi tokouá.

Ne tokolahi ha kau taki ʻo e siasí, kau ai ʻene tangataʻeikí, naʻe uiuiʻi ke nau ʻalu ki ai ʻi he vave tahá.[5]

Ne tokolahi ha kakai ne kamata ʻenau teuteu ki he fonongá. ʻI he fakahaá, naʻe ui ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Mīsuli ko e fonua ʻo e tofiʻa ʻo e Kāingalotú, ʻo fakakakato ai e ngaahi fakamatala faka-Tohi Tapu ʻo ha fonua ʻo e talaʻofá ʻe “mahutafea ʻi he huʻahuhú mo e honé.” Naʻe fie maʻu ke langa ai ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e kolo ko Saioné.[6]

Naʻe ʻikai fuʻu vēkeveke ʻa e tangataʻeiki ʻa ʻEmilií ke mavahe mei hono fāmilí. Naʻe kei puke lahi ʻa ʻIlisa pea mahalo naʻa mate lolotonga ʻene mamaʻó.[7] Naʻe lava ke tala ʻe ʻEmelī ʻoku hohaʻa foki mo ʻene fineʻeikí. Neongo e tukupā ʻa Litia Pātilisi ki he ngāue ʻo Saioné, ka naʻe ʻikai maheni mo hono tuku ia ke ne tokangaʻi e fānaú mo honau ʻapí ʻiate ia pē. Ne hangē naʻá ne ʻilo ko e kamakamata pē ʻeni ʻo ʻene fepaki mo e ngaahi faingataʻá.[8]

Naʻe puke ʻa Poli Naiti ʻi heʻenau nofoʻi atu ʻa e kelekele ʻo Līmani Kopelií mo e Kāingalotu Kolesivilí. Naʻe lahi hake ʻa e fāmá ʻi ha ʻeka kelekele lelei ʻe fitungeau, ʻo ʻi ai ha feituʻu feʻunga maʻá e ngaahi fāmili tokolahi ke langa hanau ʻapi, ʻū fale tauhiʻanga monumanu mo ha ʻū falekoloa.[9] ʻE lava ke kamata foʻou heni ʻa e fāmili Naití mo moʻui ʻaki ʻenau tui foʻoú ʻi he melino, neongo naʻe hohaʻa ha tokolahi he ʻikai ke nau fuoloa mo Poli.

Ka neongo ia, hili e kamata ke tuʻu lelei honau nofoʻangá, naʻe mavahe ʻa Līmani mei he siasí peá ne fekau ki he Kāingalotu Kolesivilí ke nau mavahe mei hono kelekelé.[11] ʻI he ʻikai ha toe feituʻu ke nau ʻalu ki aí, naʻe kole ʻe he Kāingalotu ne tuli kia Siosefa ke fekumi ki he fakahinohino ʻa e ʻEikí kiate kinautolú.

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí kiate kinautolu, “Pea ʻe pehē hoʻomou fai hoʻomou fononga ki he ngaahi potu ʻi he feituʻu fakahihifó, ki he fonua ko Mīsulí.”[12]

ʻI heʻenau ʻiloʻi ko ʻeni ʻe ʻi Mīsuli ʻa Saione, kae ʻikai ko ʻOhaioó, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe he Kāingalotu Kolesivilí te nau kau ʻi he kau fuofua kāingalotu ke nofo aí. Naʻe kamata ke nau teuteu ki he fonongá, pea hili ha uike nai ʻe ua mei he fakahaá, naʻe mavahe atu ʻa Poli mo e toenga ʻo e koló mei he feituʻu Ketilaní ʻo heka ʻi he ʻū vaka ʻi he vaitafé ʻa ia te ne ʻave kinautolu ki he hihifó.[13]

ʻI he tukufolau atu ʻa Poli mo hono fāmilí ʻi he vaitafé, ko ʻene holi lahi tahá ke ne aʻu ki Saione kimuʻa peá ne mālōloó. Naʻá ne taʻu nimangofulu mā nima pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau hifo ʻene moʻuí. Ne ʻosi ʻalu hono foha ko Niuelí ki ʻuta ke kumi ha papa ki ha puha mate naʻa faifai peá ne mālōlō kimuʻa pea aʻu ki Mīsulí.

Ka naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Poli he ʻikai tanu ia ha toe feituʻu kehe ka ʻi Saione pē.[14]

Hili ha taimi nounou mei he mavahe ʻa e Kāingalotu Kolesivilí, naʻe fononga atu ʻa e palōfitá, Sitenei, mo ʻEtuate Pātilisi ki Mīsuli mo ha kaumātuʻa kehe ʻe niʻihi ʻo e siasí.

Naʻe lea ʻa Siosefa mo e fakatuʻamelie fekauʻaki mo e siasí ʻi Tauʻatāiná. Naʻá ne talaange ki ha niʻihi ʻo e kaumātuʻá ne pau pē naʻe langa hake ʻe ʻŌliva mo e kau faifekau kehé ha kolo mālohi ʻo e siasí ʻi ai, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻa nau fai ʻi Ketilaní.

ʻI heʻenau fakaofi atu ki he Vahefonua Siakisoní, naʻe manumanumelieʻia ʻa e kau tangatá ʻi he manafa tafungofunga naʻá ne takatakai kinautolú. Naʻe ngalingali ko Mīsuli ʻa e feituʻu lelei taha maʻa Saioné, ʻi he lahi ʻa e fonua ke mafola atu ai e Kāingalotú.

Ka ʻi heʻenau aʻu ki he koló, naʻe ʻikai saiʻia ʻa e kaumātuʻá ʻi he meʻa naʻa nau mamata ki aí. Naʻe fakakaukau ʻa ʻĒsela Puuti, ko ha faifekau naʻá ne kau ki he siasí hili ʻene mamata ki hono fakamoʻui ʻe Siosefa ha nima mamatea ʻo ha fefine, ʻoku fakataʻelata pea teʻeki maau ʻa e feituʻú.

Naʻe loto mamahi foki mo Siosefa. Ko ha ongo kiʻi kolo iiki ʻa Feieti mo Ketilani, ka ko Tauʻatāiná naʻe kiʻi laka siʻi hake pē ʻi ha feituʻu fefakatauʻaki koloa ʻi ha muiʻi ano.

Ne tokolahi ha kakai ngāue peheni kuo maheni mo Siosefa ʻi heʻene moʻuí kotoa, ka ko e kakai tangata ʻi Tauʻatāiná naʻa nau fuʻu anga taʻefakaʻapaʻapa mo angakovi ʻi he anga ʻo ʻene vakaí. ʻIkai ngata aí, naʻe huʻuhuʻu ʻa e kau ngāue fakapuleʻanga ʻi he koló koeʻuhi ko e kau faifekaú pea ngalingali te nau ʻai ke faingataʻa, pe taʻemalava ʻa hono malangaʻi ʻo e Kau ʻInitia Kulá.[18]

ʻI heʻene loto-foʻí, naʻá ne ʻoatu ʻene ngaahi hohaʻá ki he ʻEikí. Naʻá ne fehuʻi ange, “ʻE fiefia [ʻafē] ʻa e potu liʻakí, pea fisi ʻo hangē ko e losé? “ʻE langa hake ʻafē ʻa Saione ʻi hono nāunaú, pea ʻe tuʻu ʻi fē ʻa Ho temipalé?”[19]

Naʻe ʻikai haʻanau toe ʻuhinga ke kumi ki ha feituʻu kehe.

Naʻe fie maʻu ʻe ʻEtuate ke tokoni ke fokotuʻu ʻa Saione, ka naʻe lahi ha ngaahi meʻa fekauʻaki mo e fakahaá, ko hono ngaahi fatongia foʻoú, pea mo e feituʻú, naʻá ne hohaʻa ki ai. ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻá ne takatakai ai ʻo sio ʻi he kelekele takatakai mo ia ʻi loto Tauʻatāiná, pea naʻá ne fakahoko ange kia Siosefa naʻe ʻikai lelei e kelekelé ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi feituʻu kehe ofi maí.

Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa mei he meʻafakaʻeikí, ne toe kamata e fononga foki ʻa ʻĒsela mo e kau taki kehe ʻo e siasí ki Ketilani mo Siosefa, ʻŌliva, mo Sitenei.

ʻI he konga kimui ʻo e faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá, naʻe maʻu ʻe Litia Pātilisi ʻa e tohi ʻa ʻEtuate mei Mīsulí.

Kuo Toe Foki Mai ʻa e Meʻafoakí

ʻI he taimi naʻe foki ai ‘a Siosefa ki Ketilani ʻi he konga kimui ʻo ʻAokosi 1831, ne kei toka pē ha fefusiaki ʻi hono vā mo ha niʻihi ʻo e kaumātuʻa ʻa ia naʻe ʻalu mo ia ki Tauʻatāiná. Hili ʻenau kē naʻe fai ʻi he kauvai ʻo e Vaitafe Mīsulí, naʻe fakavaivaiʻi ʻe Siosefa mo e konga lahi ʻo e kaumātuʻa naʻe fononga holo mo iá ʻa kinautolu, vete ʻenau ngaahi angahalá, pea kole ha fakamolemole. ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻe fakamolemoleʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí pea ʻoange foki mo ha fakalotolahi mo e poupou.[1]

“Pea fakatatau ki hoʻomou fakavaivaiʻi ʻa kimoutolu ʻi hoku ʻaó, ʻoku ʻamoutolu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e puleʻangá.”[2]

Ne ʻi ai ha kaumātuʻa kehe, kau ai ʻa ʻĒsela Puti, naʻe ‘ikai ke nau tokanga ki he fakahā ko iá pe fakaleleiʻi honau ngaahi faikehekehe mo Siosefá. ʻI he foki mai ʻa ʻĒsela ki Ketilaní, naʻá ne hokohoko atu hono fakaangaʻi ʻa Siosefa mo lāunga fekauʻaki mo ʻene tōʻonga ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú.[3] Ne toʻo ʻe ha konifelenisi ʻo e Kāingalotú ʻa e laiseni malanga ʻa ʻĒselá, pea naʻe kamata leva ke ne tohi ki hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ha ʻū tohi fakamamahi ʻo ʻohofi ʻa Siosefa.[4]

Naʻe valokiʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi ʻohofi ko ʻení ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo Sepitemá pea ui ki he kaumātuʻá ke taʻofi ʻenau fakahalaiaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fehalaaki ʻa Siosefá mo hono fakaangaʻi taʻe-ʻuhinga iá. “Kuó ne fai angahala,” ko e fakahā ia ʻe he ʻEikí, “ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu, ko au, ko e ʻEikí, ʻoku ou fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e ngaahi angahala kiate kinautolu ʻoku vete ʻenau ngaahi angahalá ʻi hoku ʻaó ʻo kole ha fakamolemolé.”

Naʻa ne enginaki ki he Kāingalotú ke nau fefakamolemoleʻaki foki. “Ko au, ko e ʻEikí, te u fakamolemoleʻi ʻa ia ʻoku ou loto ke fakamolemoleʻí, ka ʻoku ʻekeʻi meiate kimoutolu ʻa hoʻomou fakamolemoleʻi ʻa e kakai kotoa pē.”

Naʻá Ne toe faleʻi foki e Kāingalotú ke nau fai lelei mo langa hake ʻa Saione, kae ʻikai tuku ʻenau ngaahi fetaʻemahinoʻakí ke ne vahevahe kinautolu. Naʻá Ne fakamanatu ange kiate kinautolu, “Ko ia, ʻoua [naʻa mou] fiu ʻi he faileleí, he ʻokú [mou] ʻai ʻa e tuʻunga ʻo ha ngāue lahi.” “Vakai, ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e loto mo e ʻatamai fie faí; pea ʻe kai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻo e fonua ko Saioné ʻe he kau loto fie faí mo e kau talangofuá ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosi ko ʻení.”

Kimuʻa pea fakaʻosi ʻEne folofolá, naʻe ui ʻe he ʻEikí ha niʻihi ʻo e kāingalotu ʻo e siasí ke fakatau atu ʻenau koloá pea ʻalu ki Mīsuli. Ka neongo iá, ko e lahi taha ʻo e Kāingalotú ke nau nofo pē ʻi ʻOhaiō, ʻo hokohoko atu hono vahevahe ʻo e ongoongoleleí ai. Naʻá ne fakahā ange kia Siosefa, “He ko au, ko e ʻEikí, ko hoku lotó ke tauhi ha potu haofakiʻanga ʻi he fonua ko Ketilaní, ʻi ha taʻu ʻe nima.”[5]

Naʻe fakafanongo loto vekeveke ʻa ʻElisapeti Maasi ki hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe he kaumātuʻa ne foki ki ʻOhaioó ʻa e fonua ko Saioné. Naʻa nau talanoa ki ha kelekele lahi, mo lanu ʻuliʻuli, mo ha musie lahi ʻi ha ngaahi tafungofunga ne mafola atu ʻo hangē ko e tahí, mo ha vaitafe ne tafe mālohi ʻo hangē ʻoku moʻui pē ʻiate iá.

Naʻe toe fakamanatu ʻe ʻElisapeti ʻi haʻane tohi ki hono tokoua ʻi he fonó ʻi Positoni, ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻá ne ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e fonua ʻo e talaʻofá. Naʻá ne lipooti ʻo pehē, “Kuo nau fokotuʻu ha maka ki he temipalé mo e koló fakatouʻosi, pea fakatau ha konga kelekele ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi tūkungá ke maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻo e kau tui faivelengá.” Naʻá ne fakamatala foki ko e temipalé naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi ha vaotā he fakahihifo ʻo e fakamaauʻangá, ʻo fakahoko ai ʻa e ngaahi kikite ʻi he Tohi Tapú ko e vaotaá ʻe “hoko ko e ngoue fua moʻoni” pea ʻe “mavava ʻa e ngaahi potu lalá.”[6]

Naʻe kei ʻi Mīsuli e husepāniti ʻo ʻElisapetí ʻo malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí, pea naʻá ne ʻamanaki atu ke ne foki mai ki ʻapi ʻi ha māhina ʻe taha pe ofi ki ai. Naʻe pehē ʻe he kaumātuʻá, ko e lahi taha ʻo e kakai ʻi Mīsulí naʻe ʻikai ke nau tokanga ki he pōpoaki naʻá ne vahevahé, ka naʻe papitaiso ʻe he kau faifekaú e kakai ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu kehé mo ʻave kinautolu ki Saione.[7]

ʻI ha taimi nounou pē, ʻe tānaki atu ha laungeau ʻo e Kāingalotú ki Tauʻatāina.

ʻI ha maile ʻe laungeau mei he fakatonga-hihifo ʻo Ketilaní, naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻa e tokotaha taʻu uofulu-mā-nima ko Uiliami Makaleliní ki he ongo faʻitoka ʻo hono uaifí, ko Sinitia Ane, mo ʻena pēpeé. Naʻe mali ʻa Uiliami mo Sinitia Ane ʻo siʻi hifo ʻi ha taʻu ʻe ua peá ne pekia mo e pēpeé. ʻI heʻene hoko ko ha faiakó, naʻe poto ʻaupito ʻa Uiliami peá ne maʻu meʻafoaki ki he faʻu tohi. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne maʻu ha meʻa ke fakafiemālieʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi taimi fakataʻelata talu e mole hono fāmilí.[8]

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, hili hono akoʻi ʻene kalasí, naʻe fanongo ʻa Uiliami ki ha ongo tangata naʻá na malanga ʻo kau ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe ha taha ʻo kinaua, ko Tēvita Uitemā, kuó ne mamata ki ha ʻāngelo peá ne fakamoʻoni naʻe moʻoni ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Naʻe ofo ʻa Uiliami ʻi he mālohi mo e mahino ʻa e malanga ʻa e tokotaha ʻe tahá, ʻa Haavi Uitiloki.

Naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Uiliami e ongo tangatá ke na akoʻi lahi ange ia, pea naʻe toe ongo kiate ia e ngaahi lea ʻa Hāví. “Kuo teʻeki ke u fanongo ha malanga pehē ʻi he kotoa ʻo ʻeku moʻuí,” ko e tohi ia ʻa Uiliami ʻi heʻene tohinoá. “ʻOku hangē ʻoku takatakaiʻi e tangatá ʻe he nāunau ʻo e ʻOtuá.”[9]

ʻI heʻene vēkeveke ke feʻiloaki mo fekumi ki he ngaahi fakamatala ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá, naʻe muimui ai ʻa Uiliami ʻia Tēvita mo Haavi ki Tauʻatāina. Naʻe ʻosi foki ʻa Siosefa ia ki Ketilani ʻi he taimi ne nau aʻu atu aí, ka naʻe feʻiloaki ʻa Uiliami mo ʻEtuate Pātilisi, Māteni Hālisi, mo Hailame Sāmita mo fanongo ki heʻenau fakamoʻoní. Naʻá ne talanoa foki mo ha kau tangata mo e fafine kehe ʻi Saione peá ne ofo ʻi he ʻofa mo e melino naʻá ne vakai ki ai ʻiate kinautolú.[10]

Lolotonga haʻane lue lōloa ʻi he vao ʻakaú he ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻá ne talanoa ai mo Hailame fekauʻaki mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo e kamataʻanga ʻo e Siasí. Naʻe fie maʻu ʻe Uiliami ke tui, ka neongo ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē kuó ne fanongo ki aí, naʻe ʻikai pē ke fakalotoa ia ke ne kau ki he siasí. Naʻá ne fie maʻu ha fakamoʻoni mei he ʻOtuá kuó ne maʻu ʻa e moʻoní.

ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻá ne lotu ki ha fakahinohino. Lolotonga ʻene fakakaukau ki heʻene ako ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe Uiliami kuó ne ʻomi ki heʻene fakakaukaú ha maama foʻou. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ai naʻe moʻoni ia peá ne ongoʻi haʻisia ʻi hono ngeiá ke ne fakamoʻoniʻi ia. Naʻá ne fakapapauʻi kuó ne ʻilo ʻa e siasi moʻui ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.[11]

Naʻe papitaiso mo hilifakinima ʻe Hailame ʻa Uiliami kimui ange ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, pea naʻe fononga atu ʻa e ongo tangatá ki Ketilani.[12] ʻI heʻena malanga heʻena fononga he halá, naʻe ʻilo ai ʻe Uiliami ʻokú ne maʻu ha talēniti ki hono toʻoa e loto ʻo e kau fanongó mo fakafekiki mo e kau faifekaú.

ʻI heʻena tūʻuta ki Ketilaní, naʻe hohaʻa ʻa Uiliami ke talanoa kia Siosefa. Naʻe lahi haʻane ngaahi fehuʻi pau naʻá ne fie maʻu ha tali ki ai, ka naʻá ne tuku lotoʻi pē kinautolu, mo lotua ʻe ʻiloʻi kinautolu ʻe Siosefa ʻiate ia pē mo fakahā mai ʻa e talí. Naʻe ʻikai fakapapauʻi ʻe Uiliami ʻi he taimi ko ʻení pe ʻe ʻalu ki fē pea mo e meʻa ke fai ʻi heʻene moʻuí. ʻI he ʻikai hano fāmilí, te ne lava ʻo līʻoa kakato ki he ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí. Ka naʻe ʻi ai hano konga ne fie maʻu ke ʻuluaki tokangaʻi ia mo ʻene ngaahi fie maʻu pē ʻaʻaná.

ʻI he pō ko iá, naʻe foki atu ki ʻapi ʻa Uiliami mo Siosefa peá ne kole ange kiate ia ha fakahā mei he ʻEikí, he naʻá ne ʻilo ha niʻihi tokolahi kuo nau fai pehē. Naʻe tali ia ʻe Siosefa, pea ʻi heʻene hoko ko e palōfitá naʻá ne maʻu e fakahaá, pea naʻe fanongo ʻa Uiliami ki hono tali ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻene ngaahi fehuʻí takitaha. Naʻe toʻo atu ʻene hohaʻá ka ne maʻu ʻa e fiefiá. Naʻá ne ʻilo kuó ne maʻu ha palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá.[14]

Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, ʻi he ʻaho 1 ʻo Nōvema 1831, naʻe ui ai ʻe Siosefa ha fakataha alēlea ʻa e kau taki ʻo e siasí. Ne toki pulusi ‘e ʻĒsela Puuti ha tohi ʻi ha nusipepa fakalotofonua ʻo tukuakiʻi ʻa Siosefa ki hono fakahoko e ngaahi kikite loi mo hono fūfuuʻi ʻene ngaahi fakahaá mei he ʻao ʻo e kakaí. Ne mafola lahi hono lau ʻo e tohí, pea naʻe tokolahi ha kakai ne kamata ke nau huʻuhuʻu ki he Kāingalotú mo ʻenau pōpoakí.[15]

Naʻe loto foki ha kāingalotu tokolahi ke nau lau pē ʻe kinautolu e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí. Koeʻuhí ko ha ngaahi tatau pē ne hiki tohinima ʻo e ngaahi fakahaá kuo maʻu ʻe Siosefá, naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e tokolahi taha ʻo e kau mēmipa ʻo e siasí. Naʻe pau ke hiki tohinima ia ʻe he kaumātuʻa naʻa nau fie maʻu ke fakaʻaongaʻi kinautolu ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú.

ʻI heʻene ʻiloʻi ʻení, naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe Siosefa ke pulusi ʻa e ngaahi fakahaá ʻi ha tohi. Naʻá ne falala ʻe tokoniʻi ʻe ha tohi peheni ʻa e kau faifekaú ke faingofua ange ʻenau vahevahe ʻa e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí mo fai ha fakamatala totonu fekauʻaki mo e siasí ki he ʻū kaungāʻapi fie ʻiló.

Naʻe tālangaʻi e meʻá ni ʻe he fakataha alēleá ʻo laulau houa. Naʻe fakafepakiʻi ʻe Tēvita Uitemā mo ha niʻihi tokosiʻi kehe ʻa hono pulusi ʻo e ngaahi fakahaá, ʻo hohaʻa naʻa fakatupu ʻe hono tuku atu e ngaahi palani ʻa e ʻEikí ki he kakaí ha ngaahi palopalema ki he Kāingalotu ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní. Ne ʻikai tui tatau ʻa Siosefa mo Sitenei, ʻi heʻene pehē ʻoku fie maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ke pulusi ʻe he siasí ʻEne ngaahi leá.[16]

Hili ha fakakikihi lahi ange, naʻe loto ʻa e fakataha alēleá ke pulusi ha tatau ʻe taha mano ʻo e ngaahi fakahaá ko e Tohi ʻo e Ngaahi Fekaú. Naʻa nau vahe ʻa Sitenei, ʻŌliva mo Uiliami Makalelini ke tohi ha talamuʻaki ki he tohi ʻo e ngaahi fakahaá pea ʻoange ia kiate kinautolu kimui ange he ʻaho ko iá.[17]

Naʻe kamata tohi leva ʻe he kau tangata ʻe toko tolú, ka ʻi heʻenau foki mai mo ha talamuʻakí, ne ʻikai tali ia ʻe he fakataha alēleá. Naʻa nau lau ia, pea nau fakakikihi ʻi he laine kotoa pē, mo kole kia Siosefa ke ne fekumi ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí ki aí. Naʻe lotu ʻa Siosefa, pea naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ha talamuʻaki foʻou ki he tohí. Naʻe hiki ʻe Sitenei ʻEne ngaahi leá ʻi hono lea ʻaki ia ʻe Siosefá.[18]

ʻI he talamuʻaki foʻoú, ne fekauʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e kakai kotoa pē ke tokanga ki Hono leʻó. Naʻá Ne fakahā kuó Ne foaki kia Siosefa ʻa e ngaahi fekaú ni ke tokoni ki Heʻene fānaú ke fakatupulaki ʻenau tuí, falala kiate Ia, pea maʻu mo fakahā ʻa e kakato ʻo ʻEne ongoongoleleí mo e fuakava taʻengatá. Naʻá ne lea foki ki he ilifia ʻa kinautolu ʻo hangē ko Tēvitá ʻa ia naʻá ne hohaʻa fekauʻaki mo e kanotohi ʻo e ngaahi fakahaá.

Naʻá ne fakahā, “ʻIlonga ha meʻa kuó u lea ʻaki ʻe au ko e ʻEikí, kuó u lea ʻaki ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u tuli tonuhia; pea neongo ʻe mole atu ʻa e ngaahi langí mo e māmaní, ka ʻe ʻikai mole atu ʻa ʻeku leá, ka ʻe fakamoʻoniʻi hono kotoa, neongo pē ko e fai ia ʻi hoku leʻo pē ʻoʻokú pe ʻi he leʻo ʻo ʻeku kau tamaioʻeikí, ʻoku tatau ai pē.”[19]

Hili hono lea ʻaki ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e talamuʻakí, ne tokolahi ha kau mēmipa ʻo e fakataha alēleá naʻa nau loto fiemālie ke fakamoʻoniʻi hono moʻoni ʻo e ngaahi fakahaá. Naʻe kei momou pē ha niʻihi kehe ʻi he lokí ke pulusi e ngaahi fakahaá ʻi honau tuʻunga lolotongá. Naʻa nau ʻilo ko Siosefá ko ha palōfita, pea naʻa nau ʻilo naʻe moʻoni ʻa e ngaahi fakahaá, ka naʻa nau ongoʻi mā ʻi hono ʻomi e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo fakafou ʻi he mamaha ʻa e ʻilo lea ʻa Siosefá mo ʻene vaivai faka-kalamá.[20]

Naʻe ʻikai hohaʻa ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo hangē ko kinautolú. ʻI Heʻene talamuʻakí, kuó Ne fakamoʻoni ai ko e ngaahi fakahaá ne haʻu ia meiate Ia, pea naʻe foaki ia ki Heʻene kau tamaioʻeikí “ʻi heʻenau vaivaí ʻo fakatatau mo ʻenau leá.”[21] Ke tokoni ki he kau tangatá ke nau ʻilo naʻe haʻu ʻa e ngaahi fakahaá meiate Iá, naʻá Ne tuku mai ha fakahā foʻou, peá ne fakatukupaaʻi e fakataha alēleá ke nau fili e tangata poto taha ʻi he lokí ke ne tohi ha fakahā hangē ko ia kuo maʻu ʻe Siosefá.

Kapau naʻe ʻikai lava ʻe he tangata ne fili ke fai e ngāué ʻo fakahoko ia, pea ʻe ʻilo ʻe he taha kotoa ʻi he lokí mo fatongia ʻaki hono fakamoʻoniʻi ko e ngaahi fakahā ʻa e ʻEikí kia Siosefá naʻe moʻoni, neongo e ʻikai ke nau haohaoá.[22]

Naʻe feinga ʻa Uiliami ke ne hiki ha fakahā, ʻo ne toʻo hake ha peni, mo falala ki heʻene taukei ʻi he leá. Ka ʻi he hili ʻene fakahoko iá, naʻá ne ʻilo mo e kau tangata kehe ʻi he lokí ko e meʻa kuó ne tohí naʻe ʻikai haʻu mei he ʻEikí.[23] Naʻa nau fakahā ʻenau fehalākí pea fakamoʻoni ʻi ha fakamatala ko e ngaahi fakahaá kuo foaki ia ki he palōfitá ʻi he fakahinohino fakalaumālie ʻa e ʻOtuá.[24]

Naʻa nau fakapapau ʻi he fakataha alēleá ʻoku totonu ke toe vakaiʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ngaahi fakahaá pea “fakatonutonu ʻa e meʻa ne hala pe ngaahi fehalaaki ʻa ia te ne ʻilo ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.”[25]

ʻI he taimi ko ʻení, naʻe talitali lelei ʻe ʻElisapeti Maasi ha tokotaha malanga ne fononga holo ko Nenisī Touli ki hono ʻapí ʻi Ketilani. Ko ha fefine siʻisiʻi mo pakapakau ʻa Nenisī pea naʻe hā mei hono fofongá ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne tui ki aí. ʻI hono taʻu tolungofulu mā nimá, kuo ʻiloa ʻa Nenisī ʻi heʻene malanga ki he ngaahi haʻofanga kakai tokolahi ʻo e houʻeiki fafine mo tangata ʻi he ngaahi ʻapiakó, siasí, mo e ngaahi fakataha nofo kemi ʻi he ʻIunaiteti Siteití. Hili ʻene talanoa mo iá, naʻe lava pē ke tala ʻe ʻElisapeti ko ha tokotaha ako lelei ia pea naʻe tuʻu maʻu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne tui ki aí.[26]

Kuo haʻu ʻa Nenisī ki Ketilani mo ha taumuʻa. Neongo naʻá ne faʻa tauhi ha fakakaukau tauʻatāina fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi siasi faka-Kalisitiane kehé, ʻo aʻu pē ki he taimi ʻoku nau tui kehekehe aí, ka naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Nenisī naʻe takihalaʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú. Naʻá ne fie maʻu ke ako ʻo lahi ange fekauʻaki mo kinautolu koeʻuhí ke ne tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé ʻi hono fakafepakiʻi ʻenau ngaahi akonakí.[27]

Naʻe ʻikai poupouʻi ʻe ʻElisapeti ha ngāue pehē, ka naʻe lava pē ke mahino kiate ia naʻe feinga ʻa Nenisī ke ne taukapoʻi e meʻa naʻá ne fakakaukau ko e moʻoní. Naʻá ne fanongo ki heʻenau malangá peá ne mamata ki ha ngaahi papitaiso ʻi ha vaitafe ofi mai. Kimui ange ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, naʻá ne ʻalu mo ʻElisapeti ki ha fakataha hilifakinima mo Siosefa, Sitenei, mo ha kau taki kehe ʻo e siasí.[28]

Hili e fakatahá, naʻe fehangahangai ʻa Uiliami Felipisi mo Nenisī fekauʻaki mo ʻene veiveiua ki he moʻoni ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Naʻá ne talaange, “He ʻikai fakahaofi koe kae ʻoua kuó ke tui ki he tohi ko iá.”

Naʻe sio fakamamaʻo ʻa Nenisī kia Uiliami. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “Kapau te u maʻu ʻa e tohi ko iá tangataʻeiki, te u tutu ia.” Naʻe ʻohovale ʻa Nenisī ʻi heʻene sio ʻe lava ke muimui ha kakai mohu talēnitiʻia mo ʻatamai poto kia Siosefa Sāmita mo tui ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná.

Naʻá ne pehē ʻi haʻane lea ki he palōfitá, “ʻE Misa Sāmita, te ke lava nai ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtua Māfimafí, ʻo ʻoatu hoʻo leá ʻi he fakapapau naʻe fakahā atu ʻe ha ʻāngelo mei he langí kiate koe ʻa e feituʻu ki he ʻū lauʻi peleti ko ʻená?”

Naʻe tali fakaoli mo mohu fakakaukau atu ʻa Siosefa ʻo pehē, “He ʻikai ke u teitei fakapapau ki ai.” Ka, naʻá ne fakaofi atu kiate kinautolu ʻa ia ne toki papitaisó, ʻo hilifaki hono ongo nimá ki honau ʻulú, peá ne fakamaʻu kinautolu [ko e mēmipa ʻo e Siasí].

Naʻe tafoki hake ʻa ʻElisapeti ʻo fakamoʻoniʻi kia Nenisī hono hilifakinima iá. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻI he taimi pē ne hilifaki ai hono ongo nimá ʻi hoku ʻulú, naʻá ku ongoʻi ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻo hangē ko ha vai māmāfana ne ʻalu hifo ʻiate aú.”

Naʻe loto mamahi ʻa Nenisī, ʻo hangē kuo tukuakiʻi ia ʻe ʻElisapeti ʻoku ʻikai ke ne ʻilo pe ʻoku ongo fēfē ʻa e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí. Naʻá ne toe sio hake kia Siosefa. Naʻá ne fehuʻi ange, “ʻOku ʻikai nai ke ke mā ʻi he faʻahinga fakangalingali peheé?” “ʻA koe, ʻoku ʻikai toe kehekehe mo ha kiʻi tamasiʻi fakaʻuli palau mūnoa ʻo hotau fonuá!”

Ne fakamoʻoni mahinongofua pē ʻa Siosefa ʻo pehē, “Kuo toe foki mai e meʻafoakí, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻi he kuongamuʻá, ki ha kau toutai naʻe ʻikai poto he lautohí pe tohinimá.”[29]

ʻI Sanuali 1832, naʻe nofo ai ʻa Siosefa, ʻEma mo e ongo māhangá ʻi he ʻapi ʻo ʻElesā mo Sione Sionisoní ʻi Hilami ʻOhaiō, ko ha maile nai ʻe tolungofulu ki he fakatonga ʻo Ketilaní.[1] Naʻe meimei toʻu ʻa e ongo Sionisoní mo e ongomātuʻa ʻa Siosefá, ʻa ia ko e tokolahi taha ʻo ʻena fānaú kuo nau mali pea hiki atu mei honau fale ʻataʻataá, ʻo tuku ai ha feituʻu lahi maʻa Siosefa ke fakataha mo e kau taki ʻo e siasí pea ngāue ki hono liliu ʻo e Tohi Tapú.

Kimuʻa peá na papitaisó, naʻe hoko ʻa ʻElesā mo Sione ko ha ongo mēmipa ʻo e haʻofanga ʻa ʻĒsela Pūtí. Ko hono moʻoní, ko ʻElesā naʻe fakamoʻui ʻi he mana ʻe Siosefá, ʻo tupu ai e kau ʻa ʻĒsela ki he siasí.[2] Ka neongo kuo mole e tui ʻa ʻĒselá, naʻe hokohoko atu ʻa e fāmili Sionisoní ke poupouʻi ʻa e palōfitá ʻo hangē ko ia kuo fai ʻe he fāmili Uitemaá mo e Naití ʻi Niu ʻIoké.

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu momoko ko iá, naʻe tuku ʻe Siosefa mo Sitenei e lahi taha ʻo hona taimí ke liliu lea ʻi ha loki ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sionisoní. ʻI he konga loto ʻo Fepuelí, ʻi heʻena lau ʻi he Kosipeli ʻa Sioné fekauʻaki mo e toetuʻu ʻa e ngaahi laumālie angatonu mo taʻe-angatonú, naʻe fifili ʻa Siosefa pe naʻe ʻikai toe ʻi ai ha meʻa lahi ange ke ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e langí pe ko e fakamoʻui ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.

ʻI Fepueli  ʻaho16, naʻe tangutu ʻa Siosefa, Sitenei, mo ha kau tangata kehe ʻe toko hongofulu mā ua ʻi ha loki ʻi ʻolunga he ʻapi ʻo e kau Sionisoní.[4] Naʻe nofoʻia ʻe he Laumālié ʻa Siosefa mo Sitenei, pea naʻá na fakalongo ʻi he kamata ke na mamata ki ha meʻa-hā-maí.

Naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne mamata ki ai ʻi he vīsoné, pea naʻe pehē ange ʻa Sitenei, “ʻOku ou sio ki he meʻa tatau.” Naʻe ʻeke leva ʻe Sitenei ʻa e fehuʻi tatau peá ne fakamatalaʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne mamata ki aí. ʻI he ʻosi ʻene fakamatalá, naʻe pehē ange ʻa Siosefa, “ʻOku ou sio ki he meʻa tatau.”

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ha ngaahi meʻa lahi ange fekauʻaki mo hēvani mo e Toetuʻú kia Siosefa mo Sitenei ka naʻe fekau ke ʻoua naʻá na hiki ia. Naʻá ne fakahā ange, “ʻOku lava pē ke mamata ki ai mo ʻiloʻi ia ʻi he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, ʻa ia ʻoku foaki ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa ʻiate iá, pea nau fakahaohaoaʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻi hono ʻaó.”[7]

Naʻe kaila ha taha, “Ui tokoni ki ho ʻOtuá.” Naʻe sio takai ʻa Siosefa ʻo ʻilo ha kau tangata tokolahi ange ne nau kau mai ki he kau fakatangá.

Ne ʻita atu ha tangata ki ai, ʻo ne pehē, “Vale ngangau.” Naʻá ne puna atu ki he funga ʻo Siosefá ʻo vakuʻi ʻaki hono ngeʻesi nima māsilá e kili ʻo e palōfitá ʻo ʻasi e kakanó mo mavauvau foki. Naʻá ne pehē, “Ko e founga ia ʻoku tō mai ai ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ki he kakaí.”

Naʻe lava pē ʻa Siosefa ʻo fanongo atu ki he kau tangata kehé ʻi ha kiʻi mamaʻo siʻi atu, ʻi heʻenau fakakikihi pe ko e hā ʻe fai kiate ia mo Siteneí. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne fanongo ki he foʻi lea kotoa pē naʻa nau lea ʻakí, ka naʻá ne fakakaukau naʻá ne fanongo ki ha leʻo ʻe taha pe ua naʻe maheni mo ia.

Naʻe feinga ha tangata ʻe taha ke fakahū ki hono ngutú ha ʻakau ne ʻi ai ha valitā pikipiki, ka naʻe kalokalo pē e ʻulu ʻo Siosefá. Naʻe kaila e tangatá, “Vale ngangau!

Hili ʻenau mavahé, naʻe taʻaki ʻe Siosefa e valitaá mei hono ngutú mo feinga ke maʻu ha ʻea. Naʻá ne feinga ke tuʻu, ka naʻe ʻikai hano mālohi. Naʻá ne toe feinga peá ne lava ʻo tuʻu hangatonu. Ne puna e fulufuluʻi moá ʻi he ʻeá ʻo takatakaiʻi ia.[15]

Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei hono tanu ʻo e pēpeé, ne foki ʻa Siosefa ki he ngāué neongo ʻa ʻene loto mamahí. ʻI heʻene muimui ki he fekau ʻa e ʻEikí, naʻá ne fononga atu ki Mīsuli ʻi ʻEpeleli  ʻaho 1 mo Niueli Uitenī mo Sitenei, ʻa ia naʻe kei ngāvaivai pē mei hono ʻohofi iá, ka naʻe fakaakeake feʻunga ke lava ʻo fononga.[19] Ne toki uiuiʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Niueli ke ne hoko ko ha pīsope ʻo e Kāingalotu ʻi ʻOhaioó mo fakahinohinoʻi ia ke ne fakatapui ʻa e paʻanga hulu mei heʻene ngaahi pisinisi ne tupú ke tokoni ki he falekoloá, ʻōfisi pākí, mo hono fakatau ʻo e kelekele ʻi Tauʻatāiná.[20]

Naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ha kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ke nau ʻalu ki Mīsuli mo fuakava ke fengāueʻaki fakapaʻanga mo e kau taki ʻi Saioné ke lelei ki he siasí pea mo tokangaʻi ʻa e masivá. Naʻá Ne fie maʻu foki kinautolu ke nau fakamālohia e Kāingalotú koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa ngalo honau fatongia toputapu ke langa ʻa e kolo ko Saioné.[21]

ʻI heʻenau tūʻuta atu ki Tauʻatāiná, naʻe alēlea ʻa Siosefa mo ha fakataha alēlea ʻo e kau taki ʻo e siasí peá ne lau ha fakahā naʻe uiuiʻi ai ia, ʻEtuate Patilisi, mo Niueli Uitenī, mo ha kau taki kehe ʻo e siasí ke nau fefuakavaʻaki ke puleʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakapisinisi ʻa e siasí.[22]

Ngaahi Potu Māʻoniʻoni

ʻI ʻAokosi 1832, ne laukau ʻaki ʻe Fīpē Peki ʻene vakai atu ki hono papitaiso ha toko tolu ʻo ʻene fānaú ʻo ofi ki honau ʻapí ʻi Mīsuli. Naʻa nau kau ʻi ha fānau ʻe toko hongofulu mā taha ne papitaiso ʻi Saione he ʻaho ko iá. Naʻa nau kau fakataha mo e fānau ʻa Litia mo ʻEtuate Patilisi mo Seli mo Uiliami Felipisí, ki he toʻu tangata ʻuluaki ʻo e toʻu tupu ʻo e Siasí ne tupu hake ʻi ha fonua kuo vaheʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ke toputapu.

Naʻe hiki atu ʻa Fīpē mo ʻene fānaú ki Saione fakataha mo e Kāingalotu Kolesivilí ʻi ha taʻu ʻe taha kimuʻa. Ko e husepāniti ʻo Fīpē ko Penisimaní, ʻa ia kuó ne pekiá, ko e tokoua ia ʻo Poli Naiti, pea naʻe ʻi ai ha feituʻu maʻa Fīpē ʻi he kāinga mo e fāmili Naití. Ka naʻá ne kei ʻofa pē ki hono fāmilí mo e ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻi Niu ʻIoke ʻa ia ne teʻeki ke nau kau ki he siasí.

Hili ha taimi nounou mei he papitaiso ʻo ʻene fānaú, naʻá ne tohi ki he toko ua ʻo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻa fuoloá fekauʻaki mo Saione. Naʻá ne tohi ki hono kaungāmeʻa ko ʻAná ʻo pehē, “He ʻikai te ke fakakaukau ko ha meʻa faingataʻa ia ke haʻu ki heni, he ʻoku fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻo e puleʻanga ʻo e langí ki Heʻene fānaú.”[1]

Ne toki pulusi pē ʻe Uiliami Felipisi ʻa e mata meʻa-hā-mai ʻa Siosefa mo Sitenei ʻo e langí ʻi he The Evening and the Morning Star, pea naʻe vahevahe ʻe Fīpē kia ʻAna ʻa e talaʻofa ko ia ko kinautolu kuo papitaiso pea tuʻu maʻu lototoʻa ʻi he fakamoʻoni ʻo Kalaisí, te nau fiefia ʻi he tuʻunga nāunau taupotu tahá mo e kakato ʻo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Naʻe toe faleʻi ʻe Fīpē mo ha kaungāmeʻa ʻe taha ko Peti, ʻi heʻene fakakaukau ki he talaʻofa tatau, ke ne fanongo ki he pōpoaki ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “Kapau naʻe mahino kiate koe peá ke tui tatau mo au, ʻe malava pē ha founga ke ke haʻu ai ki he fonuá ni, pea te ta feʻiloaki mo fiefia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá.”

Naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe Fīpē ʻa e mata meʻa-hā-mai ʻa e palōfitá ne toki fakahaá pea mo e melino naʻá ne ʻomi kiate iá, mo fakalotolahiʻi ʻa Peti ke ne lau ʻa hono ngaahi leá ʻo kapau ʻe faifai peá ne maʻu e faingamālie ko iá.

Naʻá ne talaange ki hono kaungāmeʻá, “ʻOku ou ʻamanaki te ke lau ia ʻi ha loto faʻa lotu mo tokanga, he ʻoku taau ke fakatokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni, pea ʻoku ou fakaʻamu te ke lava ʻo fekumi kiate kinautolu.”[2]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ko iá, naʻe fononga ʻa Siosefa mo Niueli Uitenī ki Niu ʻIoke Siti ke malanga ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí mo fai ha fakatau maʻá e Kautaha Uouongatahá. Naʻe ui ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Niueli ke ne fakatokanga ki he kakai ʻi he ngaahi kolo lalahí kau ki he ngaahi fakamamahi ʻe hoko mai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakaʻosí. Naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻa Siosefa ke tokoni ki hono fakahoko ʻo e fekau ʻa e ʻEikí.[3]

Kimuí ni maí, ne ongoʻi ʻe he palōfitá ha fuʻu fie maʻu lahi ke malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí mo langa hake e feituʻu tānakiʻanga ʻo e Kāingalotú. Hili ha taimi nounou kimuʻa peá ne mavahe mei Ketilaní, naʻá ne maʻu ha fakahā ko e kau maʻu lakanga fakataulaʻeikí naʻe ʻi ai honau fatongia ke malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí mo tataki e kau tui faivelengá ki he malu ʻo Saioné mo e temipalé, ʻa ia naʻe talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ke ʻaʻahi ai kiate kinautolu ʻaki Hono nāunaú.

Ko ia ai, ne ʻomi ʻe he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ha fatongia ke fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi ouaú kiate kinautolu kuo nau tali ʻa Kalaisi mo ʻEne ongoongoleleí. Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí, ko e ngaahi ouau pē ko ʻení ʻe toki lava ai ʻEne fānaú ʻo mateuteu ke maʻu Hono mālohí mo foki ki Hono ʻaó.[4]

Ka ʻi heʻene mavahe ʻi heʻene fonongá, naʻe ʻi ai ha ʻuhinga ke hohaʻa ai ʻa Siosefa fekauʻaki mo e ngāue ke langa hake ʻa Saione ʻi Mīsulí. Naʻe tupulaki ʻa e siasí ʻi ʻOhaiō, neongo e fakafepaki mei he kau mēmipa kimuʻa ʻo e siasí, ka naʻe faingataʻa ke tauhi e māú ʻi Mīsuli ʻi he fakaʻau ke tokolahi ange ʻa e hiki mai e kakaí ki he feituʻú taʻe maʻu ha ngofuá. ʻI he hoko ʻa e ngaahi fekeʻikeʻi ne teʻeki fakaleleiʻi ʻi hono vā mo e kau taki ʻe niʻihi ʻo Saioné, naʻe pau ke fai ha meʻa ke fakatahatahaʻi ʻa e siasí.

ʻI heʻene tūʻuta ki Niu ʻIoke Sití, naʻe ofo ʻa Siosefa ʻi hono lahí. Naʻe tuʻu ha ngaahi fale maʻolunga lahi ʻo fakamalumalu ha fanga kiʻi hala fāsiʻi pea naʻe lau maile ʻa ʻene mafao atú. Ko e feituʻu kotoa pē naʻá ne sio ki ai naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi falekoloa mo e ʻū koloa totongi mamafa, ngaahi fale lalahi mo e ʻōfisi, mo e ngaahi pangikē ʻa ia ne fakahoko ai ʻe ha kau tangata koloaʻia ʻenau ngāue fakapisinisí. Ne tokolahi ha kakai ʻo e ngaahi matakali, ngāueʻanga, mo e tuʻunga kehekehe ne nau lue fakavave hake ʻi hono tafaʻakí, ʻo ngali hangē ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau tokanga ki he kakai ʻoku takatakai ʻiate kinautolú.[5]

Naʻá ne nofo mo Niueli ʻi ha hōtele fungavaka fā ʻo ofi ki he ngaahi fale tukuʻanga koloa ʻa ia naʻe ʻamanaki atu ʻa Niueli ke fai mei ai ʻene fakatau maʻá e Kautaha Uouongatahá. Naʻe fakahela kia Siosefa ʻa e ngāue ki hono fili ʻo e koloá peá ne loto-siʻi ʻi he loto-hikisia mo e fai angahala naʻá ne mamata ki ai ʻi he koló, ko ia ai naʻá ne faʻa foki ki he hōtelé ke lau tohi, fakalaulauloto, mo lotu. Ne vave pē ʻene ongoʻi taʻelatá. Naʻe fakaofi atu ʻa ʻEma ki he ngataʻanga ʻo ha toe feitama faingataʻa ʻe taha, pea naʻá ne fakaʻamua ke fakataha mo ia mo ʻena tama fefiné.

Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “Kuo fetāfeaki heʻeku fakakaukaú ha manatu ki ʻapi, kia ʻEma mo Sūlia, peá u fakaʻānaua ai ʻi ha momeniti ke u feohi mo kinaua.”

Naʻe faʻa mavahe ʻa Siosefa ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi mei he hōtelé ke ʻeveʻeva mo malanga. Naʻe laka hake ʻi he toko ua kilú ʻa e tokolahi ʻo Niu ʻIoke Sití, pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Siosefa naʻe hōifua ʻa e ʻEikí ki he ngaahi founga langa fale mo e ʻilo foʻou makehe ʻo hono kakaí. Ka naʻe hangē ne ʻikai ha taha te ne fakalangilangiʻi e ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakaofo ne takatakai ʻiate kinautolú pe tokanga ki he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi kuo fakafoki maí.

Ne ʻikai ʻunua ai ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻene hoko atu ke vahevahe ʻene pōpoakí. “ʻOku ou fakapapau ai ke hiki hake hoku leʻó ʻi he koló ni pea tuku hono olá ki he ʻOtuá, ʻa ia ʻokú Ne fālute ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi Hono toʻukupú.”[6]

ʻI ha māhina ʻe taha kimui ai, hili e foki ʻa Siosefa mo Niueli ki ʻOhaioó, ne tūʻuta mai ʻa e tokotaha taʻu tolungofulu mā taha ko Pilikihami ʻIongí ki Ketilani mo hono taʻokete ko Siosefá, mo hono kaungāmeʻa lelei taha ko Hiipa Kimipoló. Ko ha kau toki papi ului kinautolu mei he loto kolo ʻo Niu ʻIoké, ʻo ʻikai mamaʻo mei he feituʻu naʻe tupu hake ai ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá. Naʻe fie maʻu ʻe Pilikihami ke ne feʻiloaki mo e palōfitá talu mei heʻene fuofua ako fekauʻaki mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná. Ko ʻeni ʻi heʻene ʻi Ketilaní, naʻá ne palani ke lulululu mo e nima ʻo Siosefá, vakai ki hono fofongá, pea ʻiloʻi ʻa hono lotó. Kuo malanga ʻa Pilikihami mei he Tohi ʻa Molomoná talu mei hono papitaisó, ka naʻe siʻisiʻi ʻene ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e tangata naʻá ne liliu iá.

Ne nofo ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma ʻi he taimi ko ʻení ʻi he fale ʻi ʻolunga he falekoloa ʻa e fāmili Uitenií ʻi Ketilani, ka ʻi he afe atu ki ai ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko tolú, naʻe kei ʻalu ʻa e palōfitá ʻo tā fefie mei ha vaotā ne fakafuofua ki ha maile ʻe taha hono mamaʻó. Naʻa nau fononga atu ki he feituʻú ʻi he taimi pē ko iá, ʻo ʻikai fakapapauʻi pe ko e hā te nau maʻu ʻi heʻenau aʻu ki aí.

ʻI heʻenau lue atu ki he vao ʻakaú, naʻe aʻu atu ʻa Pilikihami mo e niʻihi kehé ki ha loto ʻataʻatā ʻa ia naʻe tuʻutuʻu ai ʻe Siosefa ha ʻū sinoʻi ʻakau. Naʻá ne māʻolunga ange ʻia Pilikihami peá ne teunga ngāue angamaheni pē. Ne lava ʻa Pilikihami ʻo tala mei he founga naʻe ngāue ʻaki ʻe Siosefa ʻene tokí, ʻoku ʻikai ko ha sola ia ki he ngāué.

Ne ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Pilikihami kiate ia peá ne fakafeʻiloaki ia. Naʻe tuku ʻe Siosefa ʻene tokí ki lalo, ka ne lulululu mo Pilikihami. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻOku ou fiefia ke mamata kiate koe.”

ʻI heʻena talanoá, naʻe fie tā ʻakau ʻa Pilikihami kae tokoni hono taʻoketé mo Hiipa ʻi hono fakaheka ia ki ha saliote. Ne hā ngali fiefia, ngāue mālohi mo anga fakakaumeʻa ʻa e palōfitá. Hangē ko Pilikihamí, naʻá ne haʻu mei ha puipuituʻa fakatōkilalo, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne anga taʻefeʻunga hangē ko ha niʻihi ʻo e kau ngāué. Ne ʻilo ai pē ʻe Pilikihami ko ha palōfita ia ʻa e ʻOtuá.[7]

Hili ha kiʻi taimi mei ai, naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻa e kau tangatá ki hono ʻapí ke maʻu meʻatokoni. ʻI heʻenau aʻu atú, naʻá ne fakafeʻiloaki kinautolu kia ʻEma, ʻa ia ne tokoto he mohengá ʻo pōpooki ha kiʻi pēpē tangata moʻui lelei. Ne fāʻeleʻi e pēpeé ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi kimuʻa ai, ʻi ha lau houa pē kimuʻa pea aʻu mai ʻa Siosefa mo Niueli mei Niu ʻIoké. Naʻe fakahingoa ia ʻe ʻEma mo Siosefa ko Siosefa Sāmita ko e III.[8]

Hili e maʻu meʻatokoní, ne fai ha kiʻi fakataha ‘e Siosefa peá ne fakaafeʻi ʻa Pilikihami ke ne lotu. ʻI he punou hono ʻulú, naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Pilikihami ʻoku ueʻi ia ʻe he Laumālié ke ne lea ʻi ha lea ne ʻikai ʻiloʻi. Naʻe ʻohovale e kakai ʻi he lokí. ʻI he taʻu kuo ʻosí, ne nau sio ki ha kakai tokolahi ʻoku nau feinga ke fakatātaaʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālié ʻi he tōʻonga ne tōtuʻa. Naʻe kehekehe ‘a e meʻa naʻe fai ʻe Pilikihamí.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻenau taʻefiemālié, “ʻE ngaahi tokoua, he ʻikai ke u teitei fakafepakiʻi ha faʻahinga meʻa pē ʻoku haʻu mei he ʻEikí.” “Ko e lea ko iá ʻoku mei he ʻOtuá.”

Naʻe lea leva ʻa Siosefa ʻi he lea tatau, peá ne fakamatala ange ko e lea ia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe ʻĀtama ʻi he Ngoue ko ʻĪtení mo fakalotolahiʻi e Kāingalotú ke nau fekumi ki he meʻafoaki ʻo e leá ʻi he ngaahi lea kehekehé, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Paula ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú, ke ʻaonga ki he fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá.[9]

Naʻe mavahe atu ʻa Pilikihami mei Ketilani hili ha uike ʻe taha mei ai lolotonga ia e tō mai ha faʻahitaʻu momoko mo nonga ʻi he kiʻi koló. Ka neongo iá, ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi kimuʻa he Kilisimasí, ne pulusi ai ʻe ha nusipepa fakalotofonua ha ngaahi lipooti naʻe fakafepakiʻi fefeka ʻe he vahefonua Kalolaina Sauté ʻa e tukuhau ʻi he ʻū koloa hū maí pea naʻa nau fakamanamana ke mavahe ʻo tauʻatāina mei he ʻIunaiteti Siteití. Ne fie maʻu ʻe ha kakai ʻe niʻihi ke hoko ha tau.[10]

ʻI hono lau ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ngaahi lipooti ʻo e palopalemá, naʻá ne fakakaukau ki he faiangahala mo e fakaʻauha ne lau ki ai e Tohi Tapú ʻe hoko kimuʻa ʻi he Hāʻele ʻAngaua Mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí.[11] Naʻe folofola ange ʻa e ʻEikí kiate ia kimuí ni pē, naʻe toʻe ʻa e kotoa ʻo e māmaní ʻi he pōpula ʻo e angahalá, pea ʻe vave mai ʻa e ʻaʻahi mai ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi Hono houhaú, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo e māmaní mo ʻai ke tetetete ʻa e ngaahi langí.[12]

Hili haʻane lotu ke ʻilo lahi ange fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fakamamahí ni, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha fakahā ʻi he ʻaho Kilisimasí. Naʻe fakahā ange ʻe he ʻEikí ʻe hoko ʻa e taimi ʻe angatuʻu ai ʻa Kalolaina Saute mo e ngaahi vahefonua fakatonga kehé ki he toenga ʻo e puleʻangá. ʻE kole tokoni ʻa e ngaahi vahefonua angatuʻú ki he ngaahi fonua kehé, pea ʻe angatuʻu mo e kakai nofo pōpulá ki honau kau pulé. ʻE hoko mai e tau mo e ngaahi fakatamaki fakaenautula lahi ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē, ʻo fakamafola ʻa e mamahi mo e mate ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní.

Naʻe hoko ʻa e fakahaá ko ha fakamanatu fakamamahi he ʻikai lava ke toe toloi ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa hono langa ʻo Saioné mo e temipalé. Naʻe pau ke nau teuteu he taimí ni ʻo kapau naʻa nau fakaʻamu ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he fakatamaki ka hoko maí.

“Ko ia, mou tuʻu ʻi he ngaahi potu toputapu, pea ʻoua ʻe hiki mei ai kae ʻoua ke hokosia ʻa e ʻaho ʻo e ʻEikí.”[13]

Hili ha ʻaho ʻe ua mei hono maʻu ʻo e fakahā ki he taú, naʻe fakataha ʻa Siosefa mo e kau taki ʻo e siasí ʻi he falekoloa ʻo Niueli Uitenií. Naʻá ne tui naʻe fakaututuu ʻa hono fakaangaʻi ʻo hono tuʻunga fakatakimuʻá ʻe he Kāingalotu ʻi Mīsulí. Kapau he ʻikai ke nau fakatomala mo uouongataha ʻi he siasí, naʻá ne manavasiʻi ʻe mole honau tofiʻa ʻi Saioné pea fakatatafe atu honau faingamālie ke langa e temipalé .[14]

Hili hono fakaava ʻo e fakatahá, naʻe kole ʻe Siosefa ki he kau taki ʻo e siasí ke nau lotu ke ʻiloʻi e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá ki hono langa ʻo Saioné. Naʻe punou e ʻulu ʻo e kau tangatá pea nau lotu, ʻo takitaha fakahaaʻi ʻene loto fiemālie ke tauhi e ngaahi fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá. Hili iá ne maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha fakahā lolotonga hono hiki ia ʻe Feletiliki Uiliamisi, ko ʻene sikalaipe foʻoú.[15]

Ko ha pōpoaki ia ʻo e melino maʻá e Kāingalotú, ʻo fakaʻaiʻai kinautolu ke anga māʻoniʻoni. Naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEikí, “Fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa kimoutolu koeʻuhí ke hanga taha ʻa homou ʻatamaí ki he ʻOtuá.” Naʻa nau ʻohovale ʻi Heʻene fakahinohinoʻi kinautolu ke langa ha temipale ʻi Ketilani mo teuteu ke maʻu Hono nāunaú.

Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻEikí, “Fokotuʻutuʻu ʻa kimoutolu.” “Teuteu ʻa e meʻa ʻaonga kotoa pē; pea fokotuʻu ha fale, ʻio ko ha fale ʻo e lotu, ko ha fale ʻo e ʻaukai, ko ha fale ʻo e tui, ko ha fale ʻo e ako, ko ha fale ʻo e nāunau, ko ha fale ʻo e maau, ko ha fale ʻo e ʻOtuá.”

Naʻe toe faleʻi foki kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ke nau fokotuʻu ha ʻapiako.

Naʻe ʻave ʻe Siosefa ha tatau ʻo e fakahaá kia Uiliami Felipisi ʻi Mīsuli, ʻo ne ui ia ko ha “lou ʻōlive” mo e “pōpoaki melino ʻa e ʻEikí” ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Ketilaní.

Naʻe fili ha taha ʻo e kau kalake ʻa Siosefá, ʻa ʻOasoni Haiti, ke ne akoʻi e kalasí.

Ko e ʻApitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí

ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho hoko ʻi he ʻosi ʻa e ʻuha fetuʻu ʻesiafí, naʻe ʻamanaki ʻa Siosefa ʻe ʻi ai ha faʻahinga meʻa fakaofo ke hoko. Ka naʻe hokohoko atu e moʻuí ʻi he founga angamahení, pea naʻe ʻikai toe hā mai ha ngaahi fakaʻilonga kehe ʻi he langí. Naʻá ne tohi ʻi heʻene tohinoá ʻo pehē, “ʻOku hangē ʻoku mamahi hoku lotó.” Kuo laka hake ʻi ha māhina ʻe tolu talu mei hono fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ha toe meʻa maʻá e Kāingalotu ʻi Saioné, pea naʻe teʻeki pē ke ʻilo ʻe Siosefa e founga ke tokoni ai kiate kinautolú. Ne hangē kuo tāpuni mai e langí.[1]

Ne tānaki atu ki he hohaʻa ʻa Siosefá, ʻa e toki foki mai ʻa Toketā Filasitasi Holapati mei Palemaila mo Manisesitā mo ha ngaahi talanoa—ko e niʻihi ne loi pea ko e niʻihi ne fakalahiʻi—ʻo kau ki he moʻui ʻa Siosefa kimuʻá. ʻI he mafola atu ‘a e ngaahi talanoá ʻi Ketilaní, naʻe fakahā foki ʻe Holapati te ne tāmateʻi ʻaki hono nimá ʻa Siosefa. Ne kamata leva ke ngāue ʻaki ʻe he palōfitá ha kau tangata maluʻi moʻui.[2]

ʻI Nōvema  ʻaho 25, 1833, hili ha uike ʻe taha mo ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei he ngaahi fetuʻu toó, ne tūʻuta ʻa ʻOasoni Haiti ʻi Ketilani peá ne lipooti ʻa hono tuli ʻo e kāingalotú mei he Vahefonua Siakisoní.[3] Naʻe fakamamahi ‘aupito ‘a e ongoongó. Naʻe ʻikai mahino kia Siosefa e ʻuhinga ne tuku ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ke mamahi ʻa e Kāingalotú pea mole ʻa e fonua ʻo e talaʻofá. Pea ʻikai foki lava ke ne tomuʻa ʻilo e kahaʻu ʻo Saioné. Naʻá ne lotua ha fakahinohino, ka naʻe folofola mai pē ʻa e ʻEikí ke fakalongolongo pē pea falala kiate Ia.

Naʻe tohi leva ʻa Siosefa kia ʻEtuate Patilisi ʻi he taimi pē ko iá. “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻe toe fakahaofi ʻa Saione ʻi he taimi pē ʻa e ʻOtuá,” ko ʻene fakamoʻoní ia, “ka ko e fuoloa ʻo hono fakamaʻá, ʻahiʻahiʻí, mo e ngaahi faingataʻá, ʻoku teʻeki ke fakahā mai ʻe he ʻEikí kiate au.”

ʻI he siʻi ha meʻa ke toe faí, ne feinga ʻa Siosefa ke fakafiemālieʻi hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻi Mīsulí, neongo e malie ʻe valu ngeau honau vāmamaʻó. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “ʻI heʻemau ʻilo hoʻomou ngaahi mamahí, kuó ne langaki e fie kaungāmamahi ʻi homau lotó. “ʻOfa ke tuku ʻe he ʻEikí, neongo hoʻomou ngaahi mamahí mo e faingataʻaʻiá, ke ʻoua naʻa hanga ʻe ha meʻa ʻo fakamāvae ʻa kitautolu mei he ʻofa ʻa Kalaisí.”[4]

Naʻe hokohoko atu e lotu ʻa Siosefá pea ʻi Tīsemá, ne faifai peá ne maʻu ha fakahā maʻá e Kāingalotu ʻi Saioné. Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí kuo fakamamahiʻi kinautolu koeʻuhi ko ʻenau ngaahi angahalá, ka naʻá Ne ʻofa mamahi kiate kinautolu pea talaʻofa he ʻikai liʻaki kinautolu. Naʻá Ne fakamatala kia Siosefa, “Kuo pau ke tauteaʻi mo siviʻi ʻa kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻĒpalahamé […] he ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻikai te nau lava ʻo kātakiʻi ʻa e tauteaʻí, kae fakaʻikaiʻi aú, ʻoku ʻikai lava ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa kinautolu.”

Hangē ko ia naʻá Ne fai kimuʻá, naʻe fakahinohinoʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Kāingalotú ke nau fakatau ha ngaahi konga kelekele ʻi Saione pea fekumi ʻi ha ngaahi founga melino mo fakalao ke toe maʻu ʻenau ngaahi meʻa ne molé. Naʻa ne fakahā “ʻE ʻikai ke hiki ʻa Saione mei hono tuʻuʻangá.” “Ko kinautolu ʻoku toé, pea ʻoku nau loto-maʻá, te nau foki mai, ʻo haʻu ki honau ngaahi tofiʻá.”[5]

Lolotonga hono poupouʻi ʻe he fakahaá ʻa e ngaahi alea fakamelino mo e kakai ʻo Tauʻatāiná, naʻe toe fakahā foki ʻe he ʻEikí ʻe lava ke toe maʻu ʻa Saione ʻi he mālohi. Naʻá ne fakahā ha talanoa fakatātā fekauʻaki mo ha ngoue vaine ʻa ia kuo toʻo mei he kau tamaioʻeiki fakapikopikó mo fakaʻauha ʻa kinautolu ʻe ha fili. ʻI he taimi ne mamata ai e ʻeiki ʻo e ngoue vainé ki he fakaʻauhá, naʻá ne valokiʻi e kau tamaioʻeikí koeʻuhi ko ʻenau taʻetokangá pea ui kinautolu ke ngāue.

Naʻá ne fekau, “ʻAlu ʻo tānaki fakataha mai ʻa e toenga ʻo ʻeku kau tamaioʻeikí, pea ʻave ʻa e mālohi kotoa ʻo hoku falé … [pea] ke mou ʻalu leva ki he fonua ʻo ʻeku ngoue vainé, pea huhuʻi ʻeku ngoue vainé.” Naʻe ʻikai fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e talanoa fakatātaá, ka naʻá Ne fakahā ki he Kāingalotú ʻoku fakahoko mai ai Hono finangalo ki he huhuʻi ʻo Saioné.[6]

Hili ha māhina ʻe ua mei ai, naʻe haʻu ʻa Paʻale Palati mo Laimani Uaiti ki Ketilani mo ha ngaahi ongoongo lahi ange mei Mīsuli. Ne foaki ʻe ha kakai anga fakakaumeʻa ʻi he tafaʻaki vaitafe ʻe taha ne fahangaaki mo e Vahefonua Siakisoní ha meʻakai mo e vala ki he Kāingalotú ke fakafetongi ʻaki ʻenau ngāué, ka ne kei fakamoveteveteʻi pē kinautolu pea nau ongoʻi loto-foʻi. Naʻa nau fie maʻu ke ʻilo e taimi mo e founga ʻe toe fakahaofi ai ʻa Saione mei hono ngaahi filí.[7]

Hili ʻene fanongo ki he lipōtí, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Siosefa mei hono seá ʻo fakahoko ange te ne ʻalu ki Saione. ʻI ha māhina ʻe ono, kuó ne ʻoatu ha ngaahi lea fakalotolahi mo e ʻamanaki lelei ki he Kāingalotu ʻi aí lolotonga ʻene fekuki mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻi Ketilaní.

Naʻá ne fie maʻu he taimí ni ke fai ha meʻa maʻanautolu—pea naʻá ne fie maʻu ke ʻilo kohai ʻe fie kau fakataha mo iá.[8]

ʻI ʻEpeleli 1834, ʻi ha fakataha ʻa ha kiʻi kolo ʻo e Siasí ʻi Niu ʻIoke, naʻe fanongo ʻa Uilifooti Utalafi taʻu uofulu mā fitú, ki hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe Paʻale Palati ʻa e fakahā fakamuimui taha ʻa e ʻEikí kia Siosefa Sāmitá. Naʻe ui ai e Kāingalotú ke tānaki ha kau tangata ʻe toko nimangeau ke nau laka mo e palōfitá ki Mīsuli. Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí, “ʻOku ʻaonga ke hoko ʻa e huhuʻi ʻo Saioné ʻi he mālohi.” “Tuku ke ʻoua naʻa ilifia ha tangata ke tuku hifo ʻene moʻuí koeʻuhi ko au.”[9]

Naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Paʻale ʻa e kau talavou mo e kau tangata taʻu tolungofulu tupu ʻi he koló ke nau ʻalu ki Saione. Ko e tangata kotoa pē faingamālie, naʻe fie maʻu ke ne ʻalu.

ʻI he fakaʻosinga ʻo e fakatahá, naʻe fakafeʻiloaki ʻe Uilifooti ia kia Paʻale. Naʻá ne kau mo hono taʻokete ko ʻAsimoní ki he siasí ʻi ha māhina ʻe tolu ki muʻa ai, pea ko ha ongo akonaki kinaua ʻi he Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné.

Naʻe fakahā ange ʻe Paʻale kiate ia ko hono fatongia ia ke fakamāʻopoʻopo ʻene ngaahi meʻa fakapaʻangá pea ke kau ʻi he laká.[10]

Naʻe talanoa kimui ange ʻa Uilifooti kia ʻAsimoni fekauʻaki mo e ʻalu ki Saioné. Neongo kuo ui ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e tangata sino mālohi kotoa pē ʻi he siasí ke ne kau ʻi he laká, naʻe fakakaukau ʻa ʻAsimoni ke ne nofo, pea momou ke liʻaki hono ʻapí, fāmilí, mo e fāmá. Ka naʻe teʻeki ke mali ʻa Uilifooti, pea naʻá ne vēkeveke ke ʻalu ki Saione mo e palōfitá.[11]

Naʻe tūʻuta ʻa Uilifooti ʻi Ketilani hili ha ngaahi uike siʻi mei ai peá ne feʻiloaki ai mo Pilikihami ʻIongi mo Hiipa Kimipolo, ʻa ia ne na toki hiki ange pē mo hona fāmilí ki ʻOhaiō. Naʻe ngāue ʻa Hiipa ko ha taha ngaohi ipu, pea naʻe ʻi ai haʻane fānau ʻe toko ua, mo hono uaifi ko Viletí. Naʻe hoko ʻa Pilikihami ko ha tangata tufunga pea ʻi ai hano ongo ʻofefine kei iiki ʻe toko ua. Naʻá ne toki mali mo ha papi ului foʻou ko Mele Ane ʻEnisolo hili e pekia ʻa hono ʻuluaki uaifi ko Meliamé.[12] Naʻe loto fiemālie ʻa e ongo tangatá fakatouʻosi ke na kau ki he laká, neongo ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau kuo pau ke fakahoko ʻe hona ongo fāmilí.

Naʻe kau atu foki ʻa e kāinga ʻo Mele Ane ko Siosefa mo Senitela Holopulukí ki he laká, fakataha mo hona ongo uaifi ko Nenisī mo ʻIunisí, pea mo ʻenau fānau īkí.

Naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau fefine ne nofo ʻi ʻapí ha ngaahi founga kehe ke tokoni ai ki he fonongá. Hili ha taimi nounou kimuʻa peá ne ʻalu ki Saioné, naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “ʻOku ou fie maʻu ha paʻanga ke tokoni ki he teuteu ki Saioné, pea ʻoku ou ʻilo te u maʻu ia.” ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻá ne, maʻu e $150 mei ha taha ko Sisitā Vose ʻi Positoni.[14]

Ne mavahe atu ki Saione ʻa Uilifooti mo ha Kāingalotu tokosiʻi ʻi Mē  ʻaho 1. Ne mavahe ʻa Siosefa, Pilikihami, Hiipa, mo e ongo Holopulukí—fakataha mo ha kau ngāue tokoni ʻe toko teau nai—mei Ketilani ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho lahi kimui ange ai pea nau kau fakataha mo Uilifooti ʻi he halá.

ʻI heʻenau fakataha maí, ko ha konga siʻi pē ʻo e toko nimangeau naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ne lava ʻo maʻú.[15] Ka naʻa nau fononga fakahihifo ʻi he laumālie lelei, ʻo vilitaki ke fakahoko e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí.

Naʻe ʻamanaki lelei atu ʻa Siosefa ki heʻene kiʻi kulupú, ʻa ia naʻá ne ui ko e ʻApitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí. Neongo naʻe ʻosi fakamahafu kinautolu pea nau loto fiemālie ke tau, ʻo hangē ko e kau ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga muʻá ʻi heʻenau tau maʻá e fonua ko Kēnaní, naʻe fie maʻu ʻe Siosefa ke nau fakaleleiʻi e fepakipakí ʻi he melino. Naʻe ʻosi talaange ʻe he kau ʻōfisa fakapuleʻanga ʻi Mīsulí ki he kau taki ʻo e siasí ʻi aí, naʻe loto fiemālie ʻa Kōvana Tanikilini ke tuku atu e kautau ʻo e vahefonuá ke nau fakafeʻao ʻa e Kāingalotú ki honau ngaahi kelekele ne molé. Ka neongo iá, he ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo palōmesi ange ke taʻofi ʻa e kau fakatangá mei hono toe tuli kinautolú.[16]

Naʻe palani ʻa Siosefa ke ne kole e tokoni ʻa e kōvaná ʻi he tūʻuta atu ʻa e ʻApitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻi Mīsulí, peá ne ngāue mo e kautaú ke fakafoki ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he Vahefonua Siakisoní. ʻE nofo ʻa e ʻapitangá ʻi Saione ʻi ha taʻu ʻe taha ke tokoni ki he Kāingalotú ke nau malu mei honau filí.[17]

Ke fakapapauʻi ne ʻi ai ha tokoni ki he taha kotoa ʻi he ʻapitangá, naʻe tānaki ʻe he kau mēmipa ʻo e ʻapitangá ha paʻanga fakalukufua.

Naʻá ne fakahoko ange, “Te u fakatātā atu ʻi he laumālie ʻoku ʻi he ʻapitangá, he ʻoku ou fie maʻu ke toʻo atu ia mei he ʻapitangá.” Naʻe kamata ke ne fakatātaaʻi e ʻulungaanga ʻo Silivesitā mei he pō ki muʻá, ʻo toe fakahoko e ngaahi fakamanamana ʻa e taki kulupú fekauʻaki mo e kulií. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻE hanga ʻe he ʻulungaanga ko ʻení ʻo fakatupu ʻa e ʻā vahevahe mo e lilingi toto ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní.

Naʻe ʻikai teitei saiʻia ʻa Silivesitā, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai kāinga mo Siosefá, ʻi heni. Naʻá ne pehē, “Ka uʻu au ʻe he kulī ko ʻená, te u tāmateʻi ia.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosefa, “Kapau te ke tamateʻi e kulī ko iá, te u taaʻi koe.”

“Kapau te ke fai ia,” ko e lea ia ʻa Silivesitaá, “te u maluʻi au!”[23]

Naʻe tauʻaki fesiofaki ʻa e ongo tangatá ni lolotonga e mamata ʻa e ʻapitangá. Ne teʻeki fai ha fuhu ʻiate kinautolu, ka naʻe hoko e lau uike ʻo e laká ke ne ʻai kinautolu ke nau ʻiteʻita.

Ne faifai pea tafoki ʻa Siosefa meia Silivesitā peá ne fehuʻi ki he Kāingalotú pe ʻoku nau mā nai ʻo hangē ko iá ʻi he faʻahinga laumālie ʻoku ʻi he ʻapitangá. Naʻá ne pehē naʻa nau tōʻonga hangē ha fanga kulií kae ʻikai ko ha tangata. Naʻá ne talaange, “ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke ʻai ʻe he tangatá ke nau ʻi ha tuʻunga tatau mo e fanga monumanú.” “ʻOku totonu ke nau ʻi ʻolunga ai.”[24]

Hili iá, ne holo hifo e ngaahi ongo ko iá pea naʻe fononga atu e kulupu tokosiʻí ki loto Mīsuli. Ne moʻumoʻua ʻa Nenisī mo ʻIunisi ʻi hono fakahoko ʻena ngaahi ngāue fakaʻahó, ka naʻe mahino foki kiate kinaua ko e foʻi laka kotoa pē ʻi he fononga ki he Vahefonua Siakisoní, naʻá ne tuku kinaua ʻi ha ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki lahi ange.[25]

Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei he kolosi ʻa e ʻapitanga lahí he vaitafe Misisipí, kuo tūʻuta atu ʻa Hailame Sāmita mo Laimani Uaiti mo ʻena kulupú, ʻo hiki hake e tokolahi ʻo e kau ʻapitangá ki he toko uangeau tupu.[26] Ka neongo ia, naʻe kei hohaʻa pē ʻa e kau taki ʻapitangá ki ha ʻohofi, pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosefa ʻa e kau tangata ne ʻi ai honau ngaahi fāmilí ke fekumi ki ha nofoʻanga maʻa honau uaifí mo ʻenau fānaú.

Ne taʻe-loto ha kau fafine tokolahi ki hono tuku kinautolú. Ka ʻi he teuteu ke mavahe ʻa e kau tangatá, naʻe ui ʻe Siosefa ʻa e taha kotoa ke nau fakataha mai. Naʻá ne pehē, “Kapau ʻoku loto fiemālie ʻa e kau fefiné ke foua hano ʻohofi kinautolu fakataha mo e ʻapitangá, te nau lava ʻo fakahoko ia.”[27]

Naʻe pehē ʻe Nenisī, ʻIunisi, mo ha kau fefine kehe ʻi he ʻapitangá naʻa nau loto fiemālie ke ʻalu, pea nau fiefia ʻi hono tuku ange ʻe Siosefa ke nau fili ke hoko atu e laká.[28]

Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho lahi mei ai, ne haʻu ʻa Paʻale Palati mo ʻOasoni Haiti ki he ʻapitangá mo ha ongoongo ne ʻikai ke nau fie fanongo ki ai: kuo ʻikai tali ʻe Kōvana Tanikilini ke ʻomi ha tokoni fakakautau ki he Kāingalotú.[29] Ne ʻiloʻi ʻe he ʻapitangá, he ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo tokoni ki he Kāingalotu Mīsulí ke nau foki ki honau kelekele ʻi Saioné ʻi he melino taʻe kau ai e tokoni ʻa e kōvaná. Naʻe fakakaukau ʻa Siosefa mo e kau taki kulupú ke nau hoko atu. Naʻa nau fakaʻamu ke aʻu ki he Kāingalotu ne tuli fakamālohi ʻi he Vahefonua Keleí, ʻi he fakatokelau ʻo e Vaitafe Mīsulí, mo tokoniʻi kinautolu ke fakahoko ha ngaahi alea felotoi mo e kakai ʻo e Vahefonua Siakisoní.[30]

Ne kolosi atu ʻa e ʻApitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻi he manafa he uhouhonga ʻo Mīsulí. Hili ha ʻaho nai ʻe taha pea nau aʻu ki he feituʻu naʻa nau fononga ki aí, ne ʻi ai ha fefine ʻuliʻuli—mahalo ko ha pōpula—naʻe ui mai ʻo hangē ʻoku tailiilí kiate kinautolu. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻi ai ha kulupu ʻo ha kau tangata heni ʻoku nau palani ke tāmateʻi kimoutolu ʻi he pongipongí ni ʻi hoʻomou fakalaka haké.”[31]

Naʻe laka tokanga ʻaupito ʻa e ʻapitangá mo hoko atu. Naʻe pau ke nau tuʻu ʻi he poʻulí ʻi ha tafungofunga ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga hake ʻi he manga ʻo e Vaitafe Taumātaʻú, koeʻuhi ko ha palopalema ʻi he ngaahi salioté, ʻo nau kei mamaʻo ʻaki ha maile ʻe hongofulu mei he Kāingalotu ne kapusí. ʻI heʻenau fokotuʻu ʻenau ngaahi fale fehikitakí, naʻa nau fanongo ki he patopatō ʻo ha fanga hoosi ʻi ha heka mai ha kau tangata ʻe toko nima ki he ʻapitangá. Naʻe toʻo ʻe he kau tangata sola ko ʻení ha ngaahi meʻatau pea nau polepole ʻaki ʻenau pehē ʻoku ʻi ai ha kau tangata tokolahi hake ʻi he tolungeaú, naʻa nau haʻu ke tāmateʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú.[32]

Ne hohaʻa lahi ʻa e ʻApitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí. Naʻe tuku ʻe Siosefa ha kau leʻo ʻi he feituʻu ko iá ʻi heʻene ʻilo naʻa nau tokosiʻí, ʻo ne fakapapauʻi ʻoku hanganaki mai hano ʻohofi kinautolu. Naʻe kole ange ʻe ha tangata ʻe taha kiate ia ke nau ʻuluaki ʻohofi e kau fakatangá.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa, “ʻIkai. Tuʻu longo pē pea mamata ki he fakamoʻui ʻa e ʻOtuá.”[33]

Ne fakapōpōʻuli e ʻaó pea matolu ʻi ʻolunga. Hili ha miniti ʻe uofulu, ne tō ha fuʻu ʻuha lahi ʻi he ʻapitangá, ʻo ne ʻai e kau tangatá ke nau hola mei honau fale fehikitakí ke kumi ha nofoʻanga lelei ange. Naʻe pulia e kauvai ʻo e Vaitafe Taumātaʻú ʻi he māʻolunga ʻa e vaí ʻo tafe hifo ki laló.[34] Naʻe tō mai ha matangi mālohi ʻi he loto ʻapitangá ʻo ne puhi hifo e ʻulu ʻakaú mo fulihi e ngaahi fale fehikitakí. Ne tapa ha ʻuhila ngingila ʻi he langí.

Ne maʻu ʻe Uilifooti Utalafi mo ha niʻihi kehe ʻi he ʻapitangá ha falelotu siʻisiʻi ofi mai pea nau haʻohaʻo ki loto ʻi he haʻaki hifo ʻa e ʻuhá he ʻató.[35] Hili ha kiʻi taimi siʻi, naʻe hū atu ʻa Siosefa ki he loto falelotú ʻo tupeʻi e vai mei hono tataá mo e valá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Tamaiki, ʻoku ʻi ai ha ʻuhinga ʻo e meʻá ni. ʻOku ʻi he matangí ni ʻa e ʻOtuá!”

ʻI he ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo mohé, ne nofo hifo e Kāingalotú ʻi he ʻū seá ʻo hiva ha ngaahi himi he poó kakato.[36] Naʻa nau ʻilo honau ngaahi fale fehikitakí mo e naunaú kuo pīponu ʻi he pongipongí, ka naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe maumau ʻe taʻe lava ʻo fakaleleiʻi pea teʻeki ke haʻu ha ʻohofi.

Ne kei hake pē ʻa e vaitafé, ʻo ne fakamāvahevaheʻi ʻa e ʻapitangá mei honau ngaahi filí ʻi he kauvai ʻe tahá.[37]

ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho siʻi hono hokó, naʻe fetuʻutaki ai ʻa e ʻApitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí mo e Kāingalotu ʻi he Vahefonua Keleí lolotonga e fakataha ʻa Siosefa mo e kau taki mei he ngaahi vahefonua takatakaí ke fakamatala e taumuʻa ʻo e laká mo kole maʻá e Kāingalotu ʻi Saioné. Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku mau hohaʻa ke fakaleleiʻi e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku hoko ʻi hotau vahaʻá. “ʻOku mau fie nofo melino mo e kakai kotoa pē, pea ko e meʻa pē ʻoku mau fie maʻú ʻa e ngaahi totonu tatau.”[38]

Naʻe loto ʻa e kau taki fakavahefonuá ke nau tokoni ki hono fakanonga e ʻita ʻa honau kau tangataʻifonuá, ka naʻa nau fakatokanga ki he ʻapitangá ke ʻoua te nau ʻalu ki he Vahefonua Siakisoní. Kapau ʻe feinga e Kāingalotú ke nau laka ki Tauʻatāina, ʻe lava ke hoko ha fetauʻaki ai.[39]

ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, ʻi Sune  ʻaho 22, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha fakahā maʻá e ʻApitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí ʻi ha fakataha mo e kau taki ʻo e siasí. Naʻe tali ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e ngaahi feilaulau ʻa e kau mēmipa ʻo e ʻapitangá pea tataki ʻenau ngaahi ngāué ki hono maʻu ʻo e mālohi fakalangí. Naʻá Ne fakahā, “Pea ʻoku ʻikai lava ke langa hake ʻa Saione kae ngata pē ʻi he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e fono ʻo e puleʻanga fakasilesitialé.”

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ki he Kāingalotú ʻoku totonu ke tatali hono huhuʻi ʻo Saioné kae ʻoua kuo nau teuteuʻi kinautolu ʻo fakafou ʻi he ako mo e aʻusia ke fai e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻá Ne fakamatala ʻo pehē, “Pea ʻoku ʻikai lava ke fakahoko ʻeni kae ʻoua ke fakakoloaʻi ʻa ʻeku kaumātuʻá ʻaki ʻa e mālohi mei ʻolunga.” Naʻe pau ke hoko ʻa e ʻenitaumeni ko ʻení ʻi he fale ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻi he he temipale Ketilaní.

Ka neongo ia, naʻe hōifua ʻa e ʻEikí kiate kinautolu naʻa nau laka ʻi he ʻApitanga ʻo ʻIsilelí. Naʻá Ne pehē, “Kuó u fanongo ki heʻenau ngaahi lotú, pea te u tali ʻa ʻenau feilaulaú; pea ʻoku ʻaonga kiate au ke ʻomi ʻa kinautolu ʻo aʻu mai ki heni ke siviʻi ʻa ʻenau tuí.”[40]

Hili ʻenau fanongo ki he fakahaá, ne tali ia ʻe ha kau mēmipa ʻe niʻihi ʻo ʻapitangá ko e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí. Ka naʻe fakafepakiʻi ia ʻe ha niʻihi kehe, ʻo nau ongoʻi naʻá ne taʻofi kinautolu mei ha faingamālie ke fai ha meʻa lahi ange maʻá e Kāingalotu Mīsulí. Ne ʻi ai ha niʻihi tokosiʻi naʻe ʻita pea ongoʻi mā ʻi he pau ke nau foki ki ʻapi taʻe kau ki ha fepakí.[41]

Naʻe mātuku ʻa e ʻapitangá ʻi ha taimi nounou pē mei ai, pea naʻe vahevahe atu ki he kau mēmipá e toenga paʻanga mei heʻenau paʻanga fakalukufuá. Naʻe palani ha kakai ʻe niʻihi ʻi he ʻapitangá ke nau nofo ʻi Mīsuli ʻo ngāue mo tokoni ki he Kāingalotú ke toe kamata foʻou, kae teuteuʻi ʻe Pilikihami, Hiipa, mo ha niʻihi kehe kinautolu ke foki ki honau ngaahi fāmilí, fakaʻosi e temipalé, mo teuteu ke maʻu e ʻenitaumeni ʻo e mālohí.[42]

Neongo naʻe ʻikai huhuʻi ʻe he ʻapitangá ʻa Saione, ka naʻe houngaʻia ʻa Uilifooti Utalafi ʻi he ʻilo naʻá ne maʻu ʻi he laká. Naʻá ne fononga ʻo ofi ki ha maile ʻe tahaafe mo e palōfitá peá ne mamata kiate ia ʻi heʻene fakahā e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá.[43] Ne ʻai ʻe he aʻusia ko ʻení ke ne fie ʻalu ʻo malanga ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí.

Naʻe tokangaʻi ʻe Sitenei ʻa e laka ki muʻa e ngāua ʻo e temipalé lolotonga e ʻi Mīsuli ʻa Siosefá. ʻI he siʻisiʻi ha kau talavou ke fakahoko e ngāué, naʻe fakangāueʻi ai ʻe ʻAtemasi Milei, ko e pule ʻo e langá, ha kau tangata matuʻotuʻa ange pea pehē foki ki ha kakai fefine mo ha fānau ʻi he ngāue langá.

ʻI ha maile ʻe nimangeau he tokelau hahake ʻo Ketilaní, naʻe tataʻo ʻi he tokanga lahi ʻe he taʻu uofulu mā taha ko Kalolaine Tipetí ha paʻanga lahi ʻi ha vala mo ha ngaahi naunau kehe pē naʻá ne ʻave mei Niu ʻIoke ki Mīsuli.

Ko e fekaú ko ha konga ia ʻo e fakahā naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa hili ʻene ʻilo fekauʻaki mo hono tuli ʻo e Kāingalotú mei Saioné.

ʻOua Naʻa Liʻaki Au

Lolotonga e faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1835, lolotonga e mavahe ʻa e kau ʻaposetoló ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau ki he ngaahi siteiti fakahahaké mo Kānatá, naʻe ngāue fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú ke fakaʻosi ʻa e temipalé mo teuteu ki he ʻenitaumeni ʻo e mālohí. ʻI he ʻikai ha fetāʻaki mo ha mole ʻo hangē ko ia kuo aʻusia ʻe he Kāingalotu ʻo Mīsulí, naʻe tupulaki pea taʻimālie fakalaumālie ʻa Ketilani ʻi he fakatahataha mai ʻa e kau papi uluí ki he koló pea nau tokoni ki he ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí.[1]

ʻI Siulaí, naʻe tuʻuaki ʻi ha pousitā ʻa e “Ngaaahi Koloa Motuʻa Faka-ʻIsipite” ʻi kolo. Naʻe fakamatala fekauʻaki mo hano maʻu ʻo ha ʻū sino ne takatakai pea fakatolonga (mummies) ʻoku ʻi ha fonualoto ʻi ʻIsipite. Ne fakaʻaliʻali ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi sino fakatolongá, pea mo ha ʻū takainga pepa kiliʻi kaho fakakuongamuʻa, ʻa ia ne fakaʻaliʻali ʻi he ngaahi tapa kehekehe ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, pea naʻe ʻaukolo ki ai ha kau mamata tokolahi.[2]

Kuo fanongo ʻa Maikeli Senitelā, ʻa e tangata naʻá ne fakaʻaliʻali e ʻū koloá, fekauʻaki mo Siosefa pea naʻá ne haʻu ki Ketilani ke vakai pe naʻá ne fie fakatau kinautolu.[3] Naʻe vakavakaiʻi ʻe Siosefa e ngaahi sino fakatolongá, ka naʻá ne tokanga ange ki he takainga tohí. Naʻe fonu ʻi ha tohinima ngalikehe mo ha ʻū fakatātā kehekehe ʻo e kakai, ʻū vaka, fanga manupuna, mo ha fanga ngata.[4]

Naʻe fakangofua ʻe Senitelā ʻa e palōfitá ke ne ʻave ʻa e ʻū takainga tohí ki ʻapi mo ako lahi ange kinautolu ʻi he pō ko iá. Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa ko ha konga mahuʻinga ʻa ʻIsipite ʻi he moʻui ʻa ha kau palōfita ʻe niʻihi he Tohi Tapú. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi foki naʻe hiki ʻe Nīfai, Molomona, mo ha kau faʻu tohi kehe ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná, ʻenau ngaahi leá ʻi he “lea faka-ʻIsipité.”[5]

ʻI heʻene vakaiʻi e meʻa naʻe tohi ʻi he ʻū takainga tohí, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi akonaki mahuʻinga mei he pēteliake ko ʻĒpalahamé ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá. ʻI heʻene fakataha mo Senitelā he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Siosefa pe ko e fiha ʻokú ne fie maʻu ki he ngaahi takainga tohí.[6] Naʻe talaange ʻe Senitelā te ne fakatau fakataha pē ʻa e ngaahi takainga tohí mo e ngaahi sino fakatolongá ki ha paʻanga ʻe $2,400.[7]

Naʻe fuʻu lahi ʻaupito ʻa e mahuʻingá ʻi he meʻa naʻe lava ʻe Siosefa ke fakataú. Naʻe kei faingataʻaʻia e kāingalotú ke fakaʻosi e temipalé mo ha paʻanga siʻisiʻi pē, pea naʻe siʻisiʻi ha kakai ʻi Ketilani ne nau maʻu ha paʻanga ke ʻoange kae toki totongi. Ka naʻe tui ʻa Siosefa ko e ʻū takainga tohí naʻe mahuʻinga feʻunga pē mo ia naʻe fakatau aí, pea naʻá ne fakavave ke tānaki ha paʻanga feʻunga ke fakatau e ʻū koloá.[8]

Naʻe mafola atu ʻa e fiefia he siasí ʻi he kamata ke ngāue ʻa Siosefa mo ʻene kau sikalaipé ke ʻilo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga fakakuongamuʻá, ʻi he loto-falala ʻe vave pē hano fakahā mai ʻe he ʻEikí ha pōpoaki lahi ange mei ai ki he Kāingalotú.[9]

ʻI he taimi ne ʻikai ako fakaikiiki ai ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ngaahi takainga tohí, naʻá ne fakaʻaliʻali atu kinautolu mo e ʻū sino fakatolongá maʻá e kau ʻaʻahí. Naʻe fuʻu manako ʻaupito ʻa ʻEma ʻi he ʻū koloa fakakuongamuʻá peá ne fakafanongo ʻi he tokanga ʻi hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe Siosefa e anga ʻo e mahino kiate ia ʻa e ngaahi tohi ʻa ʻĒpalahamé. ʻI hono ʻeke ʻe he kakai fie ʻiló ke nau sio ki he ʻū sino fakatolongá, naʻá ne faʻa fakaʻaliʻali kinautolu, mo vahevahe ʻa e meʻa kuo talaange ʻe Siosefá.[10]

Ko ha taimi fakafiefia ia ke moʻui ʻi Ketilani. Lolotonga hono kei fakamamahiʻi ʻe he kau fakaanga ʻo e siasí ʻa e Kāingalotú, naʻe hokohoko atu e hohaʻa ʻa Siosefa mo Sitenei koeʻuhi ko e ʻū moʻuá, pea naʻe lava ʻa ʻEma ʻo sio ki he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻa e ʻEikí ne nau takatakai iá. Naʻe fakaʻosi ʻe he kau ngāue ʻi he temipalé ʻa e ʻató ʻi Siulai pea nau kamata leva ke langa ha taua maʻolunga.[11] Naʻe kamata hono fakahoko ʻe Siosefa mo Sitenei ha ngaahi fakataha Sāpate ʻi he langa ne teʻeki ʻosí, pea ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi naʻá ne faʻa ʻomi ha kakai tokolahi ʻo aʻu ki ha kakai ʻe toko tahaafe, ke nau haʻu ki loto ʻo fanongo ki heʻene malangá.[12]

Naʻe nofo ʻa ʻEma mo Siosefa he taimi ko ʻení ʻi ha fale ʻo ofi ki he temipalé, pea ʻi hono loto ʻataʻataá, naʻe lava ke sio atu ʻa ʻEma kia ʻAtemasi Milei mo Siosefa ʻIongi ʻokú na palasitaaʻi e ngaahi holisi ʻo e temipalé ʻaki ha sima lanu pulū mo e tukumisi, ʻa ia naʻá na vahe ʻaki ha ngaahi laine ke hangē ha kongokonga maká.[13] ʻI he fakahinohino ʻa ʻAtemasí, naʻe tokoni ʻa e fānaú ke tānaki ha ʻū kongokonga sioʻata pe meʻa maka kuo mafahifahi ʻo momosi iiki kinautolu pea huʻi fakataha mo e palasitaá. ʻI he ulo mai ʻa e laʻaʻá, naʻe ʻai ʻe he fanga kiʻi kongokonga ko ʻení ke ngingila e ngaahi holisi ʻo e temipalé pea naʻe ʻasi mai e māmá ʻo hangē ha tapa ʻa ha siuelí.[14]

Naʻe femoʻuekina maʻu pē ʻa e fale ʻo ʻEmá. Naʻe nofo ha kakai tokolahi mo e fāmili Sāmitá, ʻo kau ai ha niʻihi ʻo e kau tangata naʻa nau fakalele e ʻōfisi paaki foʻou ʻo e siasí. Makehe mei hono paaki ʻo ha nusipepa foʻou ʻa e siasí, ʻa e Latter Day Saints’ Messenger and Advocate, naʻe ngāue ʻa e kau tangata ko ʻení ʻi ha ʻū meʻa kehe, kau ai ʻa e himi ne fakatahatahaʻi ʻe ʻEma ʻi he tokoni ʻa Uiliami Felipisí.[15]

Naʻe kau ʻi he tohi ʻa ʻEmá ha ngaahi himi foʻou ʻa e Kāingalotú mo ha ngaahi hiva motuʻa mei he ngaahi siasi faka-Kalisitiane kehé. Naʻe faʻu ʻe Uiliami ha ngaahi hiva foʻou, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Paʻale Palatí mo ha taha ne papi ului foʻou mai ko hono hingoá ko ʻIlaisa Sinou. Ko e himi fakaʻosí ʻa e “Ko e Laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku hangē ha Afi ʻOku Uló,” ko ha hiva fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtuá ʻi hono fakafoki mai ʻo e ongoongoleleí.

Naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻEma naʻe pulusi foki ʻe he fale pākí ha fakatahatahaʻi ʻo e ngaahi fakahaá naʻe ui ko e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá. Naʻe tokangaʻi ʻe Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ʻa hono fakatahatahaʻi ʻo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá, ko hano fakatahaʻi ia ʻo ha ngaahi fakahā mei he Tohi ʻo e Ngaahi Fekaú ʻa ia ne teʻeki pulusí, pea mo ha toe ngaahi fakahā kimui ange, fakataha mo ha ngaahi lea fekauʻaki mo e tuí ʻa ia kuo fai ʻe he kaumātuʻa taki ʻo e siasí.[16] Naʻe tali ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá ko ha folofola, ʻo mahuʻinga tatau pē mo e Tohi Tapú mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.[17]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlaú, naʻe meimei ʻosi ʻa e fanga kiʻi ngāue ko ʻení, pea naʻe omi ʻa e kau taki ʻo e siasí mei Mīsuli ki Ketilani ke teuteu ki hono fakatāpui ʻo e temipalé mo e ʻenitaumeni ʻo e mālohí. ʻI ʻOkatopa  ʻaho 29, naʻe maʻu meʻatokoni efiafi ai ʻa ʻEma mo Siosefa ke talitali ʻaki ʻa ʻEtuate Patilisi mo e niʻihi kehe ne tūʻuta maí. ʻI heʻenau fiefia ʻi he uouangataha ʻo ʻenau feohí, naʻe talaange ʻe Niueli Uitení kia ʻEtuate ʻokú ne fakaʻamu ke maʻu meʻatokoni mo ia ʻi Saione he taʻu ka hokó.

Naʻe sio atu ʻa ʻEma ki hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá mo fakaʻamu ʻe lava ke kau fakataha e taha kotoa ʻi he tēpilé mo kinautolu ʻi he fonua ʻo e talaʻofá.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “ʻĒmeni. ʻOfa ke tuku mai ia ʻe he ʻOtuá.”[18]

Hili e maʻu meʻatokoni efiafí, naʻe kau atu ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma ki ha fakataha ʻa e alēleaʻanga māʻolunga ʻa Ketilaní. Naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe he tehina ʻo Siosefa ko Uiliamí ha fefine ʻi he siasí ko ʻene ngaohikovia fakatuʻasino e tama hono hoá. Naʻe kau ʻi he kau fakamoʻoní ʻa Lusi Sāmita, ko e fineʻeiki ʻa Siosefa mo Uiliamí. Lolotonga ʻene fakamoʻoní, naʻe lea hake ʻa Siosefa ʻi he kamata ke ne fakamatala fekauʻaki mo ha meʻa kuo ʻosi fanongo ki ai mo fakaleleiʻi ʻe he fakataha alēleá. [19]

Naʻe puna ki ʻolunga ʻa Uiliami ʻo tukuakiʻi ʻoku tālafili ʻa Siosefa ki he ngaahi lea ʻa ʻena fineʻeikí. Naʻe tafoki hake ʻa Siosefa ki hono tehiná ʻo fekau ke tangutu ki lalo. Naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻa Uiliami peá ne kei tuʻu pē.

Naʻe toe pehē atu ʻa Siosefa, “Tangutu ki lalo,” mo feinga ke lea fiemālie pē.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Uiliami he ʻikai ke ne tangutu ki lalo kae ʻoua kuo fakapaʻulu ia ʻe Siosefa.

ʻI heʻene taʻe-manongá, naʻe tafoki ʻa Siosefa ke ne mavahe mei he lokí, ka naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe heʻene tamaí mo kole ange ke ne nofo pē. Naʻe ui ʻa Siosefa ki he fakataha alēleá ke nau fakalongolongo hifo pea fakaʻosi leva ʻa e hopó. ʻI he fakaʻosinga ʻo e fakatahá, kuó ne fiemālie feʻunga ke ne lea fakamāvae lelei kia Uiliami.

Ka naʻe kei ʻita pē ʻa Uiliami, ʻo ne pehē naʻe hala ʻa Siosefa.[20]

ʻI he taimi ko ʻení, naʻe fakangāueʻi ʻe Hailame Sāmita mo hono uaifi ko Selusá, ʻa Litia Peili, ko ha papi ului taʻu uofulu mā ua, ke tokoni ʻi hona fale nofo totongí. Naʻe papitaiso ʻe Siosefa ʻa Litia ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu kimuʻa ange lolotonga ʻene ʻi ha ngāue fakafaifekau taimi nounou ki Kānata.[21] Ne ʻikai fuoloa kuo hiki mai ʻa Litia ki Ketilani, pea naʻe palōmesi ʻa Hailame mo Selusa te na tokangaʻi ia ʻo hangē ha taha ʻo hona fāmilí.

Naʻe femoʻuekina ʻaupito ʻa Litia ʻi he ngāué. ʻI he haʻu ʻa e kau taki ʻo e siasí mei Mīsuli ki kolo ke teuteu ki he fakatāpui ʻo e temipalé, naʻá ne feimeʻatokoni mo Selusa, ngaohi e ʻū mohengá, mo fakamaʻa maʻu pē ʻa e falé. Naʻe tātaaitaha ke ʻi ai hano taimi ke talanoa ai mo e niʻihi ne nofo totongi he falé, neongo naʻe tokanga ki ai ʻa Niueli Naiti, ko ha kaungāmeʻa fuoloa ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá.[22]

Naʻe talaange ʻe Selusa ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe taha lolotonga ʻena ngāué, “Ko Misa Naití ko ha uitou.”

“O, ʻio,” ko e lea ia ʻa Litiá, mo ʻai ke pehē ʻoku ʻikai tokanga ki ai.

Ne pehē ange ʻa Selusa, “Naʻe mālōlō hono uaifí ʻi he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ne toki ʻosí, Ne ʻikai ke ne mei lava ʻo ʻūkuma hono mamahí.”

Naʻe hoko e fanongo ʻa Litia ki he fakamasiva ne hoko kia Niuelí ke manatu ki he meʻa ne hoko kiate iá.[23] ʻI heʻene taʻu hongofulu mā onó, naʻá ne mali mo ha tangata kei talavou ko Kalavini Peili. Hili ʻena malí, naʻe faʻa tōtuʻa e inu kava mālohi ʻa Kalaviní peá ne faʻa tā ia mo ʻena tama fefiné.

Ne aʻu ki ha taimi naʻe mole ai ʻenau fāmá ʻi he inu kava mālohi ʻa Kalaviní, ʻo pau ai ke nau nofo totongi ʻi ha kiʻi ʻapi siʻisiʻi ange. Naʻe fāʻeleʻi ai ʻe Litia ha foha, ka naʻe moʻui ʻa e pēpeé ʻi ha ʻaho pē ʻe taha. Hili ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻe liʻaki ʻe Kalavini ʻa Litia pea naʻá ne hiki leva mo ʻene tamá ʻo nofo mo ʻene ongomātuʻá.

Ne kamata ke lelei ange ʻa e moʻuí, ka naʻe puke ʻene tamá. ʻI heʻene mālōloó, ne hangē ko e ʻosi ia e fiefia ʻa Litiá. Ke tokoniʻi ia ke ne matatali e molé, naʻe ʻave ia ʻe heʻene ongomātuʻá ki ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻi Kānata. Naʻá ne fanongo ai ʻi he ongoongoleleí peá ne papitaiso, pea talu mei ai mo e fiefia ange ʻa ʻene moʻuí pea fonu ʻi ha ngaahi tuʻamelie lelei. Ka naʻá ne ongoʻi taʻelata mo fakaʻānaua ke toe feohi vāofi mo ha taha.[24]

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe fakaofi atu ai ʻa Niueli kiate ia ʻi ha loki ʻi ʻolunga ʻo e ʻapi Sāmitá. Naʻá ne pehē ange ʻi heʻene piki ki hono nimá, “ʻOku ou fakakaukau ko ho tūkungá, hangē ko aú, ʻoku fakataʻelata. Mahalo naʻa lava ke ta feohi vāofi ange.”[25]

Naʻe tangutu fakalongolongo pē ʻa Litia. Naʻá ne pehē loto mamahi, “ʻOku ou tui ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi pē hoku tūkungá, ʻoku ʻikai ke u teitei ʻilo pe ʻoku ʻifē hoku husepānití, pe ʻokú ne moʻui pe mate.” Naʻe ʻikai ke ne ongoʻi ʻoku totonu ke ne mali mo Niueli taʻe te ne vete mo Kalavini.

Naʻá ne talaange kimuʻa peá ne mavahe mei he lokí, “ʻE laka ange ke u feilaulauʻi haʻaku faʻahinga ongo pē ʻaʻaku, naʻa mo ʻeku moʻuí, ʻi haʻaku mavahe mei he angamaʻá pe fakatupu houhau ki heʻeku Tamai Hēvaní.”[26]

Hili ʻene fakakikihi mo hono tehiná, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha tohi meiate ia. Naʻe loto mamahi ʻa Uiliami koeʻuhí ko hono tukuakiʻi ia ʻe he fakataha alēlea maʻolungá, kae ʻikai ko Siosefa, ki he fakakikihí. ʻI heʻene tui ko e meʻa totonu pē ia ke ne valokiʻi ʻa Siosefa ʻi muʻa ʻi he fakataha alēlea maʻolungá, naʻá ne fie maʻu ke fakataha pē mo Siosefa toko taha ke taukapoʻi ʻene meʻa naʻe faí.[27]

Naʻe loto ʻa Siosefa ke ne fakataha mo Uiliami, ʻo fokotuʻu ange ke na takitaha vahevahe ʻa ʻena fakakaukau ki he meʻa naʻe hokó, tali ʻena ngaahi fehalākí, mo kole fakamolemole ki ha faʻahinga faihala pē. Koeʻuhí ko ʻene faʻa maʻu e ivi ke fakafiemālieʻi e fāmilí, naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻa Hailame ke ne kau mo kinaua pea fakamaauʻi pe ko hai naʻe halá.[28]

Naʻe haʻu ʻa Uiliami ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Siosefá, pea naʻá na takitaha fakamatala ʻa e fakakikihí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa naʻá ne loto mamahi, ʻi he lea ʻa Uiliami ʻoku teʻeki taimi ke leá, ʻi muʻa ʻi he fakataha alēleá pea ʻikai ke ne fakaʻapaʻapaʻi hono tuʻunga ko e palesiteni ʻo e siasí. Naʻe fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe Uiliami naʻá ne anga taʻe-fakaʻapaʻapa peá ne kikivi pē naʻe hala ʻa Siosefa.

Ne fakafanongo tokanga ʻa Hailame ki hono ongo tokouá. ʻI he ʻosi [ʻena vālaú], naʻe kamata ke ʻoatu ʻene fakakaukaú, ka naʻe lea hake ʻa Uiliami ia, ʻo tukuakiʻi ia ʻokú ne kau fakataha mo Siosefa ʻi hono tukuakiʻi iá. Naʻe feinga ʻa Siosefa mo Hailame ke fakafiemālieʻi ia, ka naʻá ne lue fakaʻita ki tuʻa mei he falé. Kimui ange ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, naʻá ne fakafoki ʻene laiseni malangá kia Siosefa.

Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo ʻilo ʻi Ketilani kotoa ʻa e fakakikihí. Ne vahevahe ai ʻa e uouangataha ʻa e fāmili Sāmitá, ʻo kamata ke fepakipaki ʻa e ngaahi tokoua mo e tuofāfine ʻo Siosefá. ʻI heʻene hohaʻa naʻa fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe hono kau fakaangá ʻa e fakakikihí ke fakafepakiʻi ia mo e siasí, naʻe fakamamaʻo ʻa Siosefa meia Uiliami, ʻo ʻamanaki ʻe holo e ʻita hono tehiná.[29]

Ka naʻe hoko atu pē ʻa e fakaangaʻi ʻe Uiliami ʻa Siosefa ʻi he ngaahi fuofua uike ʻo Nōvemá, pea vave pē mo e fakafaʻafaʻahi ʻa e Kāingalotú foki. Naʻe valokiʻi ʻe he kau ʻaposetoló ʻa e ʻulungaanga ʻo Uiliamí pea nau fakamanamana ke toʻo ia mei he Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá. Ka neongo ia, naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa ha fakahā ʻo ueʻi kinautolu ke nau faʻa kātaki kia Uiliami.[30]

Naʻe loto mamahi ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻene vakai ki he fakalalahi ʻa e fakafaʻafaʻahí. ʻI he faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá, naʻe ngāue fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú mo ha taumuʻa pea failelei, pea kuo tāpuekina kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lekooti faka-ʻIsipité pea mo e fakalakalaka lahi ʻi he temipalé.

Ka ʻi he taimí ni, ʻi he toe siʻi pea nau aʻusia e ʻenitaumeni ʻo e mālohí, kuo ʻikai ke nau lava ʻo fakataha ʻi he loto mo e ʻatamai.[31]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau kotoa ʻo e 1835, naʻe kei vilitaki pē ʻa Niueli Naiti ke ne mali mo Litia Peili. ʻI heʻene tui ʻoku fakangofua ʻe he lao ʻo ʻOhaioó ʻa e kakai fefine kuo liʻaki ʻe honau ngaahi husepānití ke nau toe malí, naʻá ne kole kia Litia ke liʻaki hono kuohilí. Ka neongo e fie maʻu lahi ʻe Litia ke ne mali mo Niuelí, naʻá ne fie maʻu ke ʻilo naʻe totonu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá.

Naʻe ʻaukai mo lotu ʻa Niueli ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe tolu. ʻI he ʻaho hono tolú, naʻá ne kole ange kia Hailame ke ʻeke kia Siosefa pe ko ha meʻa totonu ia ke ne mali mo Litia. Naʻe tali lelei ʻe Hailame ke ne talanoa ki hono tehiná, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Niueli ke ngāue ʻi he temipalé taʻe ʻi ai ha meʻa hono keté.

Naʻá ne kei ngāue pē ʻi he aʻu mai ʻa Hailame kimui ange he ʻaho ko iá. Naʻá ne talaange naʻe kole ʻe Siosefa ki he ʻEikí pea maʻu ha tali ʻoku totonu ke mali ʻa Litia mo Niueli. Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosefa, “Ko e vave ange ʻena malí, ko e sai angé ia. Talaange ʻoku ʻikai ha lao ke ne taʻofi kinaua. ʻOku ʻikai fie maʻu ke na manavasiʻi ʻi he fono ʻa e ʻOtuá pe ko e lao ʻa e tangatá.”

Naʻe mātuʻaki fiefia ʻa Niueli. Naʻá ne laku ʻene meʻangāué, ka ne lele ki he fale nofototongí pea talaange kia Litia ʻa e meʻa naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Siosefá. Ne hulutuʻa e fiefia ʻa Litiá, pea naʻá na fakamālō mo Niueli ki he ʻOtuá mo ʻEne ʻofá. Naʻe kole ange ʻe Niueli ke na mali, pea naʻá ne tali.

Naʻe talitali ʻe Hailame mo Selusa ʻa e kau fakaafe ki he malí ki honau ʻapí, ʻi ha efiafi momoko ʻi Nōvema.

Naʻe hoko e mali ʻa Litia mo Niuelí ko ha meʻa fakafiefia, ʻi ha faʻahitaʻu momoko faingataʻa kia Siosefa.

ʻI he ʻuluaki ʻaho ʻo e taʻu foʻoú, naʻe fakataha ʻa e ongo tautehiná mo ʻena tangataʻeikí mo Hailame.

Ko e ʻaho ní, kuo fakataha mai ʻa e Kāingalotú ke fakatapui ʻa e temipale ʻo e ʻEikí.

Naʻe lava ʻa Litia ʻo sio atu mei hono seá ki he meʻa hifo ʻa e kau taki ʻo e siasí ʻi mui ʻi he ʻotu ʻe tolu ʻo ha tuʻunga malanga kuo teuteuʻi ʻi he ongo tafaʻaki ʻo e lokí. ʻI muʻa ʻiate iá, ʻi he tafaʻaki fakahihifo ʻo e falé, naʻe ʻi ai ha ongo tuʻunga malanga ai maʻá e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí mo e kau taki kehe ʻi he Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-Melekisetekí. Naʻe ʻi mui ʻiate ia, ʻi he holisi ki he hahaké foki, ha tuʻunga malanga ki he kau pīsopelikí mo e kau taki ʻo e Lakanga Taulaʻeiki Faka-ʻĒloné. ʻI heʻene hoko ko ha mēmipa ʻo e fakataha alēlea māʻolunga ʻo Mīsulí, naʻe tangutu ʻa Niueli ʻi ha ʻotu sea he tafaʻaki ʻo e ʻū tuʻunga malanga ko ʻení.

ʻI he ʻikai toe lava ʻe he kau fakanofonofó ʻo fakahū mai ha taha kehe ki he lokí, naʻe tuʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻo kole fakamolemole kiate kinautolu naʻe ʻikai lava ke maʻu ha feituʻu ke nau tangutu aí. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ange ke fakahoko ha fakataha ʻi he loki ako ofi mai ʻi he konga ki lalo ʻo e fale pākí.[10]

Hili ha ngaahi miniti siʻi mei ai, naʻe maau ʻa e haʻofangá ki honau tangutuʻangá, pea naʻe kamata ʻe Sitenei ʻa e malangá ʻo ne lea ʻaki ʻa e mālohi ʻo laka hake ʻi ha houa ʻe ua. Hili ha kiʻi taimi mālōlō nounou, ʻa ia ne kei tangutu maʻu pē ʻa e taha kotoa ʻi he haʻofangá, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Siosefa ʻo ne fai e lotu fakatāpuí, ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻosi teuteuʻi ʻi he tokoni ʻa ʻŌliva mo Sitenei he ʻaho kimuʻá.[11]

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “ʻOku mau kole ki hoʻo ʻafió ʻe  ʻEiki, ke ke tali ʻa e falé ni, ko e ngāue ʻo e nima ʻo kimautolu ko hoʻo kau tamaioʻeikí, ʻa ia naʻá ke fekau ke mau langá.” Naʻá ne kole ke lava ʻa e kau faifekaú ʻo ʻalu atu, kuo ʻosi fakaivia ʻi he mālohi, ke fakamafola ʻa e ongoongoleleí ki he ngaahi ngatangataʻanga ʻo e māmaní.

Naʻá ne kolea foki ki he ʻEikí ke fakakoloaʻi e Kāingalotú ʻaki ʻa e mālohi. Naʻá ne pehē, “Tuku ke fakamaʻu ʻa e pani ʻo hoʻo kau faifekaú kiate kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e mālohi mei ʻolunga. “ʻAi ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeikí ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻo e fuakavá, koeʻuhí ka nau ka ʻalu atu ʻo malanga ʻaki ʻa hoʻo folofolá ke nau fakamaʻu ʻa e fonó, pea teuteuʻi ʻa e loto ʻo hoʻo kau māʻoniʻoní.” Naʻá ne tautapa ke fakafonu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e temipalé ʻaki Hono nāunaú, ʻo hangē ko e tuʻoni matangi kuo aʻusia ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo ʻo e kuonga muʻá.[13]

Naʻá ne kole, “ʻAfio mai, ʻAfio mai, ʻAfio mai  ʻe  ʻEiki,pea tali ʻa e ngaahi tautapá ni, pea tali ʻa hono fakatapui ʻo e falé ni ki hoʻo ʻafió.”[14]

Hili pē ʻosi ʻa e ʻēmeni ʻa Siosefá, naʻe hiva ʻe he kuaeá ʻa e hiva foʻou ʻa Uiliami Felipisí:

[ʻOku vela ʻa e loto ʻo e tangatá ʻo hangē ha afí;

ʻOku haʻu ʻa e kau ʻāngeló ke ʻaʻahi mai ki māmani.][15]

Naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Litia hono fakafonu ʻe he nāunau ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻa e temipalé. . Naʻá ne tuʻu ki ʻolunga mo e Kāingalotu kehe ʻi he lokí, pea naʻá ne kau fakataha atu mo kinautolu ʻi heʻenau kalanga “Hōsana! Hōsana! Hōsana ki he ʻOtuá mo e Lamí!”[16]

Hili hono fakatapui ʻo e temipalé, naʻe ʻākilotoa ʻa Ketilani ʻe he ngaahi fakafōtunga ʻo e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí mo e mālohí. ʻI he efiafi ʻo e fakatapuí, naʻe fakataha ʻa Siosefa mo e kau taki ʻo e siasí ʻi he temipalé pea naʻe kamata ke lea ʻa e kau tangatá ʻi he ngaahi lea kehekehe, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻi he Penitekosí.

ʻI Māʻasi  ʻaho 30, naʻe fakataha ai ʻa Siosefa mo hono ongo tokoní ʻi he temipalé ke fufulu e vaʻe ʻo ha kau taki ʻo e siasí ʻe toko tolungeau nai, ʻo kau ai ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ko e Fitungofulú mo ha kau tangata kehe naʻe ui ke ngāue fakafaifekau langa, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he Fakamoʻuí mo ʻEne kau ākongá kimuʻa ʻi Hono Tutukí. Naʻe fakahā ʻe Siosefa, “Ko ha taʻu ʻeni ʻo e Kātoanga kiate kitautolu pea ko ha taimi ʻo e fiefia.” Naʻe haʻu ʻa e kau tangatá ki he temipalé ʻoku nau kei ʻaukai, pea naʻá ne kole ki ha niʻihi ʻo kinautolu ke fakatau ha mā mo ha uaine ki ʻamui ange. Naʻá ne ʻai ke ʻomi ʻe ha niʻihi kehe ha ʻū topu vai.

Naʻe fuofua fufulu ʻe Siosefa mo hono ongo tokoní ʻa e vaʻe ʻo e Kōlomu ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, pea hoko atu ki hono fufulu ʻo e vaʻe ʻo e kau mēmipa ʻo e ngaahi kōlomu kehé, ʻo tāpuakiʻi kinautolu ʻi he huafa ʻo e ʻEikí.[18] ʻI he ʻalu ʻa e taimí, naʻe fetāpuakiʻaki ʻa e kau tangatá, kikite, mo kaila hosana kae ʻoua kuo aʻu ange ʻa e maá mo e uainé ʻi he efiafi ko iá.

Naʻe lea pē ʻa Siosefa ʻi hono pakipaki ʻe he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻa e maá mo lingi e uainé. Naʻá ne talaange ko ʻenau nofo taimi nounou ʻi Ketilaní ʻe vavé ni pē haʻane ʻosi. Naʻe fakakoloaʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻaki ʻa e mālohí pea te ne ʻave kinautolu ʻi ha ngāue fakafaifekau. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻi he angamalū, mo e fakamātoato, pea malanga ʻaki ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi.” Naʻá ne fakahinohinoʻi kinautolu ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi fakakikihi fekauʻaki mo e tui fakalotú, ʻo kole kiate kinautolu ke nau tuʻu maʻu ʻi heʻenau tui fakalotu ʻanautolú.

Naʻá ne talaange ki he kau ʻaposetoló, “ʻAve ʻa e ngaahi kī ʻo puleʻangá ki he puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea fakaava kinautolu, mo ui ki he kau fitungofulú ke muimui.” Naʻá ne pehē kuo kakato ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu ʻo e siasí pea ko e kau tangata ʻi he lokí kuo nau maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki kotoa kuo teuteuʻi ʻe he ʻEikí maʻanautolu ʻi he taimi ko iá.

Naʻá ne pehē “ʻMou ʻalu atu ʻo langa hake ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.”

Naʻe foki ʻa Siosefa mo hono ongo tokoní ki ʻapi, ʻo tukuange ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ke nau tokangaʻi e fakatahá. Naʻe toe ʻalu hifo ʻa e Laumālié ʻi he kau tangata ʻi he temipalé, pea naʻa nau kamata ke kikite, lea ʻi he lea kehekehe, pea naʻinaʻi kiate kinautolu ʻi he ongoongoleleí. Naʻe hā mai ha kau ʻāngelo tauhi ki ha kau tangata ʻe niʻihi, pea ʻi ai ha niʻihi tokosiʻi ne nau mamata ʻi he meʻa-hā-mai ki he Fakamoʻuí.

Ne hokohoko atu e taumalingi mai ʻa e Laumālié ʻo aʻu ki he ngaahi houa pongipongí. ʻI he taimi naʻe mavahe ai ʻa e kau tangatá mei he temipalé, naʻe fonu honau ngaahi lotó ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakaofo mo e nāunau kuo nau toki aʻusiá. Naʻa nau ongoʻi kuo fakakoloaʻi ʻaki kinautolu ʻa e mālohi pea mateuteu ke ʻave ʻa e ongoongoleleí ki he māmaní.[19]

Hili ha uike ʻe taha mei he fakatapuí, ʻi he hoʻatā efiafi ʻo e Sāpate Toetuʻú, naʻe toe haʻu ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko tahaafe ki he temipalé ke moihū. Hili hono tufaki ʻe he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻa e ʻOhomohe ʻa e ʻEikí ki he haʻofangá, naʻe tukuhifo ʻe Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ʻa e ʻū puipuí ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo e tuʻunga malanga maʻolunga tahá ʻi he fakahihifo ʻo e konga ki lalo ʻo e falé, peá ne tūʻulutui ʻi mui ʻiate kinautolu ke lotu fakalongolongo, pea ʻikai sio mai ki ai e Kāingalotú.[20]

Hili ʻena ngaahi lotú, naʻe hā mai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí ʻi muʻa ʻiate kinaua, ne malama Hono fofongá ʻo ngingila ange ʻi he laʻaá. Naʻe hangē ha afi Hono fofongá pea naʻe hangē Hono louʻulú ha sinoú. ʻI lalo ʻi Hono toʻukupu kelekelé, naʻe ʻasi e konga ʻo e tuʻunga malangá ʻo hangē ha koula moʻoní.[21]

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻo hangē Hono leʻó ha vai ʻoku tafé, ʻo pehē, “Tuku ke fiefia mo e loto ʻo hoku kakai kotoa pē, ʻa ia kuo nau langa ʻaki honau tūkuingata ʻa e falé ni ki hoku hingoá. “He vakai, kuó u tali ʻa e falé ni, pea ʻe ʻi heni ʻa hoku hingoá; pea te u fakahā au ʻe au ki hoku kakaí ʻi he ʻaloʻofa.”[22] Naʻa ne naʻinaʻi ki he Kāingalotú ke tauhi ia ke toputapu mo fakapapauʻi kuo nau maʻu ʻa e fakakoloa ʻo e mālohí.

Naʻá Ne fakahā, “ʻIo, ʻe fiefia lahi ʻa e ngaahi loto ʻo e lau afe mo e lau mano koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻa ia ʻe lilingi atú, pea mo e fakakoloaʻi lahi ʻa ia kuo tāpuakiʻi ʻaki ʻa ʻeku kau tamaioʻeikí ʻi he fale ní.”

Ko hono fakaʻosí, naʻe talaʻofa ʻe he ʻEikí, “Pea ʻe mafola atu ʻa e ongoongo ʻo e falé ni ki he ngaahi fonua mulí; pea ko e kamataʻanga ʻeni ʻo e tāpuaki ʻa ia ʻe lilingi atu ki he ʻulu ʻo hoku kakaí.”[23]

Naʻe ʻosi ʻa e meʻa-hā-maí ʻia Siosefa mo ʻŌliva, ka naʻe vave pē ʻa e toe fakaava hake ʻa e ngaahi langí. Naʻá na mamata kia Mōsese ʻoku tuʻu ʻi muʻa ʻiate kinaua, pea naʻá ne foaki ʻa e ngaahi kī ki hono tānaki fakataha ʻo ʻIsilelí koeʻuhí kae lava ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻo ʻave ʻa e ongoongoleleí ki he māmaní mo ʻomi ʻa e māʻoniʻoní ki Saione.

Naʻe hā mai leva ʻa ʻIlaiase, ʻo tuku mai ʻa e kuonga ʻo e ongoongolelei ʻo ʻĒpalahamé, ʻo pehē ʻe tāpuekina ʻiate kinaua mo hona hakó ʻa e ngaahi toʻu tangata kotoa pē ki mui ʻiate kinauá.

Hili e mavahe ʻa ʻIlaiasé, naʻe toe maʻu ʻe Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ha meʻa-hā-mai nāunauʻia. Naʻá na mamata kia ʻIlaisiā, ʻa e palōfita ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá naʻe ʻohake ki he langí ʻi ha saliote afí.

Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe ʻIlaisiā, “Vakai, kuo hokosia kakato ʻa e taimi, ʻa ia naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he ngutu ʻo Malakaí” ʻo ʻuhinga ki he kikite ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá ke liliu e ngaahi loto ʻo e ngaahi tamaí ki he fānaú pe ko e fānaú ki he ngaahi tamaí.

Naʻe hoko atu ʻa ʻIlaisiā ʻo pehē, “ʻOku tuku ki hono nimá ʻa e ngaahi kī ʻo e kuonga ko ʻení; pea te mo lava ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻi he meʻá ni ʻoku ofi ʻa e fuʻu ʻaho lahi mo fakamanavahē ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻio ʻi he ngaahi matapaá.”[24]

Naʻe ʻosi ʻa e meʻa-hā-maí, pea ko Siosefa pē mo ʻŌliva naʻá na ʻi aí.[25] Naʻe hulungia mai ʻa e laʻaá ʻi he ʻū matapā sioʻata kimui ʻi he tuʻunga malangá, ka naʻe ʻikai kei ngingila ʻo hangē ha koulá ʻa e tuʻuʻanga ko iá. Naʻe puli atu ʻa e ngaahi leʻo fakalangi naʻe luluʻi kinaua ʻo hangē ha maná kae ongo mai e fefanafanahi e Kāingalotu ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e puipuí.

Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Siosefa kuo tuku ʻe he kau talafekaú ha ngaahi kī lakanga fakataulaʻeiki mahuʻinga kiate ia. Kimui angé, naʻá ne akoʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú ko e ngaahi kī naʻe fakafoki mai ʻe ʻIlaisiaá te ne silaʻi e ngaahi fāmilí ki he taʻengatá, fakamaʻu ʻi he langí ʻa ia naʻe fakamaʻu ʻi he māmaní, ʻo fakafehokotaki ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻá ki heʻenau fānaú pea mo e fānaú ki heʻenau mātuʻá.[26]

ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho hili ʻa hono fakatapui ʻo e temipalé, naʻe mavahe atu e kau faifekaú ʻi he tapa kehekehe kotoa pē ke malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí, kuo fakamālohia ʻe he mālohi ʻo e ʻenitaumení. Naʻe toe foki fakahihifo atu ʻa Pīsope Patilisi mo e Kāingalotu kehe ne omi mei Mīsulí mo ha tukupā foʻou ke langa ʻa Saione.[27]

Naʻe fie maʻu foki ʻe Litia mo Niueli ke na ʻalu ki he hihifó, ka naʻá na fie maʻu ha paʻanga. Naʻe fakamoleki ʻe Niueli e lahi taha ʻo hono taimí ʻi Ketilani ʻo ngāue taʻetotongi ʻi he temipalé, pea kuo nō atu ʻe Litia e meimei kotoa ʻo ʻene paʻangá kia Siosefa mo e siasí ʻi heʻene fuofua tūʻuta ʻi he koló. Naʻe ʻikai ke na fakameʻapangoʻia ʻi heʻena feilaulaú, ka naʻe ʻikai tuku e faʻa fakakaukau ʻa Litia naʻe mei totongi ʻe he paʻanga naʻá ne tuku atu ke nō ʻe he siasí, ʻa e fakamole ʻo e fonongá.

Lolotonga ʻena puputuʻu ʻi he founga ke totongi ʻena fonongá, naʻe afe ange ʻa Siosefa ke sio kiate kinaua. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻA ia Niueli, ʻoku ʻamanaki ke ke mavahe atu ki ho ʻapi ʻi he hihifó ʻOku maʻu e meʻa kotoa ʻokú ke fie maʻú?”

Naʻe pehē ʻe Niueli, “ʻOkú ma faingataʻaʻia ke maʻu e meʻa kotoa ʻoku fie maʻú he taimí ni.”

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa kia Litia, “ʻOku teʻeki ke ngalo ʻiate au ʻa hoʻo tokoni ʻofa lahi kiate au ʻi heʻeku faingataʻaʻiá. Naʻá ne hū ki tuʻa mei he falé peá ne foki mai ʻi ha taimi siʻi mo ha paʻanga lahi ange ʻi he paʻanga ne foaki ange [ʻe Litiá].

Naʻá ne talaange ke kumi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē naʻá na fie maʻu ke na fiemālie ai ʻi heʻena fononga ki hona ʻapi foʻoú. Ne toe ʻomi foki ʻe Hailame ha fanga hoosi ke ʻave kinaua ki he Vaitafe ʻOhaioó, ʻa ia te na lava ʻo maʻu ai ha vaka ke ʻave kinaua ki Mīsuli.

Kimuʻa pea mavahe ʻa e fāmili Naití, naʻá na ʻaʻahi kia Siosefa Sāmita ko e Lahi ke maʻu ʻe Litia ha tāpuaki meiate ia. Ne laka hake ʻi ha taʻu ʻe taha kimuʻa hono ui ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ko e Lahi ke ne hoko ko e pēteliake ʻo e siasí, ʻo foaki kiate ia ʻa e mafai ke foaki ki he Kāingalotú ha ngaahi tāpuaki fakapēteliake makehe, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fai ʻe ʻĒpalahame mo Sēkope ki heʻena fānaú ʻi he Tohi Tapú.

Naʻe hilifaki hono ongo nimá ki he ʻulu ʻo Litiá, pea lea ʻaki ʻe Siosefa ko e Lahi ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e tāpuakí. Naʻá ne pehē kia Litia, “Kuó ke faingataʻaʻia lahi ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kuo hilí, pea kuo fakamamahi ho lotó. Ka ʻe fakafiemālieʻi koe.”

Naʻá ne talaange naʻe ʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ʻiate ia pea kuo foaki mai ʻa Niueli kiate ia ke fakafiemālieʻi ia. “Ko homo laumālié ʻe huluni fakataha pea he ʻikai ha meʻa te ne lava ʻo fakamovetevetea kinaua.

Hili pē ʻa e tāpuakí, naʻe kamata fononga atu ʻa Litia mo Niueli ki Mīsuli, ʻo tuʻamelie ki he kahaʻu ʻo e siasí mo Saione. Kuo fakakoloaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻaki ʻa e mālohi, pea naʻe tupulaki ʻa Ketilani ʻi lalo ʻi he taua ʻo e temipalé. Naʻe hoko e ngaahi meʻa-hā-mai he faʻahitaʻu ko iá ke ne foaki ange kiate kinaua ha kihiʻi fakakaukau ki langi. Ko e veili ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo māmani pea mo e langí ʻoku hangē ka avangí.[29]

ʻAhiʻahiʻi e ʻEikí

Hili hono fakatapui ʻo e temipalé, naʻe fiefia ʻa Siosefa ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei mo e melino ne ʻi Ketilaní.[1] Naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe he kāingalotú e taumalingi mai ʻo e ngaahi meʻafoaki fakalaumālié ʻi he kotoa ʻo e faʻahitaʻu failau ʻo e 1836. Ne mamata ha tokolahi ki ha kau ʻāngelo ʻoku nau teunga hinehina ngingila, tuʻu ʻi he ʻato ʻo e temipalé, pea fifili ha kakai ʻe niʻihi pe kuo kamata ʻa e Nofotuʻí.[2]

Naʻe lava ʻa Siosefa ʻo mātā e fakamoʻoni ʻo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he feituʻu kotoa pē. ʻI heʻene hiki mai ki Ketilani he taʻu ʻe nima kuo ʻosí, naʻe ʻikai fokotuʻutuʻu lelei mo mapuleʻi ʻa e siasí. Talu mei ai mo hono tali kakato ange ʻe he Kāingalotú e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí pea nau liliu ha kiʻi kolo angamaheni ki ha siteiki mālohi ʻo Saione. Naʻe tuʻu e temipalé ko ha fakamoʻoni ki he meʻa te nau lava ʻo fai ʻi heʻenau muimui ki he ʻOtuá mo ngāue fakatahá.

Ka neongo ʻene fiefia ʻi he lavameʻa ʻa Ketilaní, ne ʻikai lava ke ngalo ʻia Siosefa ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi Mīsulí, ʻa ia ne nau kei fakatahataha ʻi ha fanga kiʻi komiunitī iiki mavahe siʻi pē mei he Vahefonua Siakisoní, he veʻe Vaitafe Mīsulí. Naʻá ne falala mo hono ongo tokoní ʻi he talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ke huhuʻi ʻa Saione hili hono fakakoloaʻi e kaumātuʻá ʻaki e mālohí. Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ha taha pe ʻe founga fēfē pe ko e fē e taimi te Ne fakahoko ai e talaʻofá.

ʻI he tuku ʻenau tokangá ki Saioné, naʻe ʻaukai mo lotu ai ʻa e kau taki ʻo e siasí ke nau ʻilo ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí.[3] Naʻe manatuʻi ai ʻe Siosefa ʻa e fakahā naʻe kole ai ʻe he ʻEikí ki he Kāingalotú ke nau fakatau mai e kelekele kotoa pē ʻi loto pea takatakai ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní.[4] Ne ʻosi kamata hono fakatau ʻe he Kāingalotú ha kelekele ʻe niʻihi ʻi he Vahefonua Keleí, kae hangē ko ia ʻoku hoko maʻu peé, ko e palopalemá ʻa hono kumi e paʻanga ke fakatau mai ke lahi angé.

ʻI he kamataʻanga ʻo ʻEpelelí, naʻe fakataha ʻa Siosefa mo e kau mēmipa ʻo e falepaaki ʻa e siasí ke aleaʻi e ngaahi tuʻunga fakapaʻanga ʻa e siasí. Naʻe tui ʻa e kau tangatá naʻe fie maʻu ke ʻoatu ʻenau koloá kotoa ki hono huhuʻi ʻo Saioné, pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu atu ke taki ʻa Siosefa mo ʻŌliva ʻi ha ngaahi feinga paʻanga ke fakatau mai ha kelekele lahi ange ʻi Mīsuli.[5]

Ko e meʻapangó, kuo ʻosi lau mano ʻa e moʻua ʻo e siasí mei hono langa ʻo e temipalé pea mo hono fakatau mai kimuʻa atu ʻo e kelekelé, pea naʻe siʻisiʻi ʻa e paʻangá ʻi Ketilani, ʻo aʻu pē ki hono tānaki ʻe he kau faifekaú e ngaahi foakí. Ko e lahi taha ʻo e koloa ʻa e siasí ko e kelekelé, ʻa ia naʻe toko siʻi ha kakai naʻa nau mei lava ʻo tokoni ʻaki hano foaki ha paʻanga. Pea ʻi he ʻikai ha paʻangá, naʻe siʻisiʻi pē ha meʻa ke fai ʻe he siasí ke totongi ai hono moʻuá pe fakatau mai ha kelekele lahi ange ʻi Saione.[6]

Ne pau ke toe kumi ʻe Siosefa ha founga ke fakapaʻanga e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí.

ʻI ha maile ʻe uangeau ki he fakatokelaú, naʻe tuʻu ʻa Paʻale Pālati ʻi he tuʻakolo ʻo ha kolo naʻe ui ko Hemilitoni, ʻi he fakatonga ʻo Kānatá. Naʻá ne fakataumuʻa atu ki Tololonitō, ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi kolo lalahi taha ʻi he vahefonuá, ke fakahoko ʻene fuofua ngāue fakafaifekaú talu mei heʻene maʻu e ʻenitaumeni ʻo e mālohí. Naʻe ʻikai haʻane paʻanga, ʻikai hano ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻi he ʻēliá, pea ʻikai haʻane ʻilo ʻe taha ki he founga ke fakahoko ai e meʻa naʻe fekauʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí ke ne faí.

ʻI he ngaahi uike siʻi kimuʻá, ʻi he mavahe atu ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá mei Ketilani ke malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí, naʻe palani ʻa Paʻale ke ne nofo ʻi ʻapi mo hono fāmilí. Hangē ko e Kāingalotu tokolahi ʻi Ketilaní, naʻe fuʻu tōtuʻa hono moʻuá, ʻi hono fakatau fakamoʻua mai ʻo ha kelekele mo langa ha fale ʻi he ʻēliá. Naʻe toe hohaʻa foki ʻa Paʻale fekauʻaki mo hono uaifi ko Fakafetaʻí, ʻa ia naʻe puke mo fie maʻu ʻene tokangá. Neongo ʻene vekeveke ke malangá, ne ngalingali taʻemalava ke fai ha ngāue fakafaifekau.[7]

Ka naʻe haʻu ʻa Kimipolo ki hono falé ʻo foaki kiate ia ha tāpuaki ʻi heʻene hoko ko hono kaungāmeʻa mo e kaungā-ʻaposetoló. Naʻe pehē ʻe Hiipa, “ʻAlu atu ki he ngāué pea ʻoua naʻa veiveiua ʻi ha meʻa. “ʻOua naʻá ke hohaʻa ki ho moʻuá, pe ko e ngaahi fie maʻu ʻo e moʻuí, he ʻe huluʻānoa hono tāpuekina koe ʻe he ʻEikí ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe Hiipa kia Paʻale ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki hono ueʻi fakalaumālie iá, ke ne ʻalu ki Tolonitō, ʻo palōmesi ange te ne ʻilo ai ha kakai kuo nau mateuteu ki he kakato ʻo e ongoongoleleí. Naʻá ne pehē ʻe fakatoka ʻe Paʻale e fakavaʻe ki he ngāue fakafaifekau ki ʻIngilaní mo maʻu ha fiemālie mei hono ngaahi moʻuá. Naʻe kikiteʻi ʻe Hiipa, “Te ke maʻu e koloá, silivá mo e koulá, kae ʻoua kuó ke fehiʻa ʻi hono lau iá.”

Naʻá ne lea foki fekauʻaki mo Fakafetaʻi. Naʻá ne talaʻofa ange, “ʻE fakamoʻui ho uaifí ʻi he houá ni pea te ne fāʻeleʻi kiate koe ha foha.”[8]

Naʻe fakaofo ʻa e tāpuakí, ka naʻe ngali taʻemalava hono ngaahi talaʻofá. Kuo aʻusia ʻe Paʻale ha ngaahi lavameʻa lahi ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú, ka naʻe foʻou pea ʻikai haʻane ʻilo fekauʻaki mo Tolonitō. Kuo teʻeki ke ne maʻu ha paʻanga lahi ʻi heʻene moʻuí, pea ne hangehangē he ʻikai ke ne maʻu ha paʻanga feʻunga ʻi heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú ke totongi hono moʻuá.

Ko e ngaahi talaʻofa fekauʻaki mo Fakafetaʻí ʻa e meʻa naʻe ʻikai ngalingali ke teitei hokó. Naʻá ne meimei taʻu fāngofulu peá ne faʻa mahamahaki mo ngāvaivai. Hili ha taʻu ʻe hongofulu ʻo ʻena malí, naʻe ʻikai haʻana fānau mo Paʻale.[9]

Ka ʻi heʻene tui ki he ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí, naʻe fononga saliote fakatokelau atu ʻa Paʻale, ʻi ha ngaahi hala pelepela. ʻI heʻene aʻu atu ki he Vaitō Naiakalá mo kolosi ki Kānatá, naʻá ne lue lalo kae ʻoua kuó ne aʻu ki Hemilitoni. Ne hoko e ngaahi fakakaukau ki ʻapí mo e mafatukituki ʻo ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú ke ne lōmekina ia, pea naʻá ne holi ke ʻilo pe ʻe founga fēfē haʻane ngāue ʻaki e tuí ʻi ha tāpuaki naʻe ngali taumamaʻo hono ngaahi talaʻofá.

Ne fakafokifā ha fanafana ange ʻa e Laumālié, “ʻAhiʻahiʻi e ʻEikí mo ke vakai pe ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻe fuʻu faingataʻa kiate Ia.”[10]

Lolotonga iá, naʻe fiefia ʻa e taʻu hongofulu mā ua ko ʻEmilī Patilisí ʻi Mīsuli, ke sio ki he foki mai ʻa e faʻahitaʻu failaú ki he Vahefonua Keleí. ʻI he ʻi Ketilani ʻene tangataʻeikí ki hono fakatapui ʻo e temipalé, naʻá ne vahevahe ai mo e toenga ʻo e fāmilí ha kiʻi fale ʻakau loki taha mo e fāmili ʻo Makeleta mo Sione Kolelí, ko e tokoni ia ki heʻene tangataʻeikí ʻi he kau pīsopelikí. Naʻe hoko e falé ko ha fale maʻá e fanga monumanú kimuʻa pea toki hiki mai ki ai e ongo fāmilí, ka naʻe fakamaʻa ʻe heʻene tangataʻeikí mo Misa Koleli e teʻemanu naʻá ne ʻufiʻufi e falikí mo ngaohi e falé ke lava ʻo nofoʻi. Naʻe ʻi ai ha tafuʻanga afi lahi ai, pea naʻe haʻohaʻo takai e ongo fāmilí ʻi hono māfaná lolotonga e faʻahitaʻu ne fuʻu momokó.[11]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu failau ko iá, ne foki mai e tangataʻeiki ʻa ʻEmilií ki Mīsuli ke hoko atu hono ngaahi fatongia ko e pīsopé. Naʻá ne maʻu mo e kau taki ʻo e siasí ʻa e ʻenitaumeni ʻo e mālohí ʻi Ketilani, pea naʻá ne ngali fakatuʻamelie ki he kahaʻu ʻo Saioné.[12]

ʻI he fakaʻau ke māfana ange ʻa e ʻeá, naʻe teuteu ʻa ʻEmilī ke ne foki ki he akó. Hili pē ʻa e tūʻuta ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he Vahefonua Keleí, naʻa nau fokotuʻu ha ʻapiako ʻi ha fale ofi ki ha ʻuluʻakau fua. Naʻe manako ʻa ʻEmelī ke ne vaʻinga mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ʻi he loto ʻuluʻakaú mo kai e fuaʻiʻakau ne ngangana mei he ngaahi vaʻa ʻi ʻolungá. Naʻe faʻu ʻe ʻEmelī mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ha fanga kiʻi fale ʻaki e ngaahi vaʻakaú pea fakaʻaongaʻi e vainé ke nau tāfue ‘aki ʻi he taimi ne ʻikai ke nau ako aí.[13]

Ne kau e konga lahi ʻo e ngaahi kaungā-ako ʻo ʻEmilií ki he siasí, ka naʻe ʻi ai ha niʻihi ko ha fānau kinautolu ʻo ha kau nofo fuoloa ʻi he feituʻú. Naʻa nau faʻa vala lelei ange ʻia ʻEmilī mo e fānau masiva kehé, pea naʻe faʻa fakakata ʻaki ʻe ha niʻihi ʻa e vala mahaemahe ʻo e Kāingalotu kei talavoú. Ka ko e lahi tahá, ne nau feohi vā lelei, neongo honau ngaahi faikehekehé.

Naʻe ʻikai tatau ʻeni mo ʻenau ngaahi mātuʻá. ʻI he tokolahi ange ʻa e hiki mai ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he Vahefonua Keleí mo fakatau ha ngaahi konga kelekele lalahí, ne fakalalahi e hohaʻa ʻa e kau nofo fuoloá pea ʻiteʻita. Naʻa nau talitali lelei e Kāingalotú ʻi he kamataʻangá ki honau vahefonuá ʻo ʻoange ha hūfangaʻanga kae ʻoua kuo nau foki ki honau ngaahi ʻapí ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e vaitafé. Ne ʻikai ʻamanaki ha taha ʻe nofo ʻaupito e kāingalotú ʻi he Vahefonua Keleí.[14]

ʻI he kamataʻangá, ne siʻisiʻi hano uesia ʻe he fetōkehekeheʻaki ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e Kāingalotú mo honau ngaahi kaungāʻapí ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ne hoko ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ako ʻa ʻEmilií.[15] Ka ʻi he fakaʻau ke ofi ange ki he faʻahitaʻu failaú pea tupulaki e fakafili ʻa honau ngaahi kaungāʻapí, ne ʻi ai ha ʻuhinga ke manavahē ai ʻa ʻEmilī mo hono fāmilí naʻa toe hoko ʻa e meʻa fakalilifu ne hoko ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní, pea te nau toe hala ʻi ha ʻapi ke nofo ai.

Naʻe kole ʻe Paʻale ki he ʻEikí, ʻi he hokohoko atu ʻene fononga ki he tokelaú, ke tokoniʻi ia ke aʻu ki he feituʻu naʻe fakataumuʻa ki aí. Hili ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻá ne fetaulaki mo ha tangata naʻá ne ʻoange haʻane paʻanga ʻe hongofulu mo ha tohi fakafeʻiloaki ki ha tokotaha ʻi Tolonitō ko Sione Teila. Naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe Paʻale e paʻangá ke totongi ke heka ʻi ha vaka ki he loto koló pea ne taimi nounou pē kuó ne aʻu atu ki he ʻapi ʻo Sione Teilá.

Ko Sione mo Lionola Teilá ko ha ongomeʻa mali kei talavou mei ʻIngilani. ʻI he talanoa ʻa Paʻale mo kinauá, naʻá ne ʻilo ai naʻá na kau ki ha kulupu ʻo ha kau Kalisitiane ʻi he feituʻú ʻa ia naʻa nau fakafisingaʻi ha faʻahinga tokāteline pē ʻe ʻikai lava ʻo poupouʻi ʻe he Tohi Tapú. Ne na toki lotua mo ʻaukai kimuí ni mai ke ʻomi ʻe he ʻOtuá ha talafekau kiate kinaua mei Hono siasi moʻoní.

Naʻe talanoa ʻa Paʻale kiate kinaua fekauʻaki mo e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí, ka naʻe ʻikai ke na fuʻu tokanga ki ai. ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻe tuku ʻene kató ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e ongo Teilá peá ne fakafeʻiloaki ia ki he kau taki lotu ʻo e koló, mo ʻamanaki te nau tuku ange ke ne malanga ki honau kāingalotú. Hili iá naʻe fakataha leva ʻa Paʻale mo e kau taki ʻo e koló ke vakai pe te nau tali ke fakahoko haʻane fakataha ʻi he fale fakamaauʻangá pe ko ha faʻahinga feituʻu fakapuleʻanga kehe. Naʻa nau fakaʻikaiʻi kotoa ʻa ʻene kolé.

ʻI heʻene ongoʻi loto foʻí, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Paʻale ki he loto vaoʻakau ofi maí ʻo fai haʻane lotu. Hili iá naʻá ne foki leva ki he ʻapi ʻo e ongo Teilá ke ʻomi ʻene kató. ʻI he teuteu ke ne mavahé, naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe Sione ʻo ne lea fekauʻaki mo ʻene ʻofa he Tohi Tapú.[16] Naʻá ne talaange, “Misa. Palati, kapau ʻoku ʻi ai haʻo faʻahinga tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻokú ke fie maʻu ke malangaʻi, ʻoku ou fakaʻamu, ʻo kapau te ke lava, ke ke fai ia ʻo fakatatau ki he lekooti ko iá.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻa Palati, “Ko ha meʻa ia ʻoku ou tui ʻe lava pē ke u fai.” Naʻá ne ʻeke kia Sione pe naʻá ne tui ki he kau ʻaposetoló mo e kau palōfitá.

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sione, “ʻIo, he ʻoku akoʻi au ʻe he Tohi Tapú ki he ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe Paʻale, “ʻOku mau akoʻi ʻa e papitaiso ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ki hono fakamolemoleʻi ʻo e ngaahi angahalá, mo e hilifaki ʻo e nima ke maʻu e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.”

“Kae fēfē ʻa Siosefa Sāmita mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo hoʻomou ngaahi fakahā foʻoú?” Ko e ʻeke ange ia ʻe Sioné.

Naʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe Paʻale ko Siosefa Sāmitá ko ha tangata faitotonu mo ha palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Pea ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná, te u lava ʻo fai ha fakamālohi moʻoni ki he tohi ko iá ʻo hangē ʻokú ke lava ʻo fai ki hono moʻoni ʻo e Tohi Tapú.”[17]

Lolotonga ʻena talanoá, ne fanongo atu ʻa Paʻale mo Sione kia Lionola mo ha kaungāʻapi ko ʻIsapela Uolotoni, ʻi ha loki ʻe taha. “ʻOku ʻi ai ha tangata heni mei he ʻIunaiteti Siteití ʻokú ne pehē naʻe ʻomi ia ʻe he ʻEikí ki he koló ke malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí,” ko e talaange ia ʻe Lionola kia ʻIsapelá. “ʻOku ou fakaʻofaʻia he ʻai ke ne mavahé.”

“Talaange ki he solá ʻoku talitali lelei ia ki hoku falé,” ko e talaange ia ʻe ʻIsapelá. “ʻOku ʻi ai haʻaku loki ʻoku ʻatā, pea lahi mo e meʻakaí.” Naʻe ʻi ai foki mo ha feituʻu ai te ne lava ʻo malanga ki hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá mo e kāingá he pō ko iá. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku ou ongoʻi ʻi he Laumālié ko ha tangata ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he ʻEikí mo ha pōpoaki ʻa ia ʻe lelei kiate kitautolu.”[18]

Hili ʻene talanoa mo Paʻalé, naʻe kamata ke lau ʻe Sione Teila ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo fakafehoanaki hono ngaahi akonakí ki he Tohi Tapú. Kuó ne ako ʻa e tokāteline ʻo e ngaahi siasi kehé kimuʻa, ka naʻe ʻi ai ha meʻa fekauʻaki mo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná naʻá ne maʻu ʻene tokangá pea mo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni naʻe akoʻi ange ʻe Paʻalé. Naʻe mahino pea tatau pē mo e folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Ne vave pē hono fakafeʻiloaki ʻe Sione ʻa Paʻale ki hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. Naʻá ne talaange, “Ko ha tangata ʻeni kuó ne haʻu ke tali ʻetau ngaahi lotú pea ʻokú ne pehē kuo fokotuʻu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e siasi moʻoní.”

Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe ha taha kiate ia, “Te ke hoko ko ha Māmonga?”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sione, “ʻOku ʻikai ke u ʻilo. Te u vakaiʻi mo lotu ki he ʻEikí ke tokoniʻi au. Kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha moʻoni ʻi he meʻá ni, te u tali ia—pea kapau ʻoku hala, ʻoku ʻikai ke u fie kau ki ha meʻa fekauʻaki mo ia.”[19]

Hili ha kiʻi taimi nounou mei ai, naʻá ne fononga mo Paʻale ki ha kolo ofi mai ʻoku nau ngoue, ʻa ia naʻe nofo ai e kāinga ʻo ʻIsapela Uolotoní. Naʻe nofo foki ai ʻa e kaungāmeʻa ʻo Sione ko Siosefa Filitingí mo hono ongo tuofāfiné, ʻa Meesi mo Mele. Naʻá nau haʻu foki mo kinautolu mei ʻIngilani peá nau maʻu ha ngaahi fakakaukau fakalotu ne faitatau mo e fāmili Teilá.

ʻI he heka hake ‘a Sione mo Paʻale ki he ‘api ʻo e fāmili Filitingí, naʻá na sio kia Meesi mo Mele ʻokú na lele ki he fale ʻo ha kaungāʻapi. Naʻe hū mai hona tuongaʻané ki tuʻa ʻo fakalea mai ki he ongo tangatá. Naʻá ne pehē naʻe fakaʻamu ia naʻe ʻikai ke na ʻalu ange. Naʻe ʻikai fie maʻu ʻe hono ongo tuofāfiné, mo ha kakai tokolahi kehe ʻi he koló, ke fanongo ʻokú na malanga.

“ʻOku ʻikai ke u ʻiloʻi,” ko e talaange ia ʻe Siosefá. “ʻOku ʻikai ke ongo lelei e hingoá.” Naʻá ne talaange ʻoku ʻikai ke nau fekumi ki ha fakahā foʻou pe ko ha faʻahinga tokāteline ʻoku fehangahangai mo e ngaahi akonaki ʻo e Tohi Tapú.

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Paʻale, “ʻOi, kapau ko ia pē, ʻe vave pē haʻama toʻo atu hoʻomou ngaahi fakakaukau halá.” Naʻá ne talaange kia Siosefa ke ui mai hono ongo tuofāfiné ki he falé. Naʻá ne ʻilo naʻe ʻi ai ha fakataha fakalotu ʻi he koló he efiafi ko iá, pea naʻá ne fie maʻu ke malanga ai.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Paʻale, “Te ma maʻu meʻatokoni efiafi mo kimoutolu pea tau ʻalu kotoa ki he fakatahá. “Kapau te ke loto ki ai mo ho ongo tuofāfiné, te u tali lelei ke malanga ki he ongoongolelei ʻo e Tohi Tapu motuʻá pea tuku ʻaupito ʻa e ngaahi fakahā foʻou ʻa ia ʻoku fehangahangai mo iá.”[20]

ʻI he efiafi ko iá, naʻe tangutu ʻa Siosefa, Meesi, mo Mele Filitingi ʻi ha loki ne fonu pea maʻu ʻenau tokangá ʻe he malanga ʻa Paʻalé.

Kuo kamata ke fakahoko ‘a e ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi he tāpuaki ʻa Hīpá, pea naʻe vekeveke ʻa Paʻale ke ne foki ki ʻapi kia Fakafetaʻi.

Naʻe ngāue ʻa Sione Kolosipeni ʻi hono ʻapi foʻoú ʻi Ketilani ʻi he kotoa ʻo e faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ʻo e 1836. ʻI Nōvemá kuó ne fokotuʻu e ngaahi holisí mo e ʻató, ka naʻe teʻeki ʻosi e faliki ʻo e falé pea kei hala ha ngaahi matapā sioʻata pe matapā. Ne toutou kole ange ʻe Kalolaine ke ne fakaʻosi e falé ʻi he vave taha ʻe ala lavá, he ʻe vave pē hono fāʻeleʻi e pēpeé.

Ne kāpui ʻe he faʻahitaʻu momokó ʻa Ketilani, pea ʻi Sanuali 1837, naʻe fakaava ʻa e Sosaieti Malu ʻo Ketilaní ko ha pisinisi.[10] ʻI hono ʻuluaki ʻahó, naʻe ʻoatu ʻe Siosefa ha paʻanga pepa kei foʻou, ne toki ʻomi mei he fale pākí, mo e hingoa ʻo e kautahá mo ʻene fakamoʻoní ʻi muʻa.[11] ʻI he lanhi ange ʻa e nō ʻa e Kāingalotú, ʻo faʻa lahi ngāue ʻaki honau kelekelé ki he maluʻí, ne kamata ke feʻaveʻaki e ngaahi laʻi paʻanga pepá ʻi Ketilani mo ha ngaahi feituʻu kehe.[12]

Ka naʻá ne ʻilo kuó ne maʻu ʻa e ongoongolelei kuo toe fakafoki mai ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.

Naʻá ne pehē, “Ko e moʻoni ʻoku tau moʻua kiate kinautolu, ka ko hotau ngaahi tokouá ʻi he ngaahi fonua kehé te nau haʻu mo ʻenau paʻangá.” Naʻá ne tui kapau ʻe tānaki fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú ki Ketilani pea fakatapui ʻenau koloá ki he ʻEikí, te ne fai ha fuʻu meʻa lahi ke toʻo mei he siasí ʻa e moʻua ʻoku mafasia aí.[33]

Lolotonga e lea ʻa Siosefá, naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Uilifooti e mālohi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne lea ʻakí.

Ka naʻe kei hokohoko atu pē ʻa e loto veiveiuá. ʻI he kongaloto ʻo ʻEpelelí, ne toe kovi ange ʻa e tuʻunga fakaʻekonōmika ʻo Ketilaní ʻi he palopalema fakapaʻanga naʻe tofanga ai ʻa e puleʻangá.

Naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe ha tangata ʻe taha kinaua ʻi ha moʻua ne ʻikai totongi, pea naʻe ʻoatu ʻe Kelenisoni Niueli ha ngaahi tukuakiʻi loi ke fakafepakiʻi ʻa Siosefa, ʻo pehē naʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi palani fakafufū ʻa e palōfitá ke fakafepakiʻi ia. ʻI he ʻalu atu ʻa e ʻaho takitaha, naʻe hohaʻa lahi ange ʻa e palōfitá naʻa puke pōpula pe fakapoongi ia.[36]

Naʻe fakamaʻu mali ʻeni ʻa Uilifooti mo Fīpē, pea naʻá na kole ki he palōfitá ke ne fai ʻena malí. Ka ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻena malí, ne ʻikai ʻiloa ia, ʻo tuku kia Feletiliki Uiliamisi ke ne fakahoko e malí.[37]

Hili ha taimi nounou mei he pulia fakafokifā ʻa Siosefá, naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻEma ha tohi meiate ia ʻo fakapapauʻi mai kiate ia ʻokú ne sai pē.[38] Naʻá ne hola mo Sitenei mei Ketilani, ke na mamaʻo meiate kinautolu ʻoku nau fakaʻamu ke fakalaveaʻi kinauá.

Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻEma kuo pau ke ne falala ki he ʻEikí, tautautefito ki he taimí ni ʻi he tafoki ʻa e kakai tokolahi ʻi Ketilani ki he veiveiuá mo e taʻetuí. Naʻe tohi ʻa ʻEma kia Siosefa ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo ʻEpelelí ʻo pehē, “Kapau he ʻikai te u maʻu ha loto-falala lahi ange ki he ʻOtuá ʻi ha niʻihi te u lava ʻo talaatu, ta ko e moʻoni ʻoku ou ʻi ha tuʻunga fakaʻofa.

Lolotonga e faingataʻá ni, naʻe foki atu ʻa Paʻale mo Fakafetaʻi ki Ketilani ki hono fāʻeleʻi ʻo ʻena pēpeé.

Hili e ʻosi ʻene ngāue fakafaifekau ki Kānatá, naʻe foki ʻa Paʻale ki ʻOhaiō ʻo mali mo ha uitou kei talavou ʻi Ketilani ko Mele Ane Folosita.

ʻE Ikuna ʻa e Moʻoní

ʻI he konga kimui ʻo e faʻahitaʻu failau ʻo e 1837, naʻe mavahe atu ʻa e kau ʻaposetolo ko Tōmasi Maasi, Tēvita Pāteni, mo Uiliami Sāmita mei honau ngaahi ʻapí ʻi Mīsuli ʻo fononga atu ki Ketilani. Ko e tokolahi ʻo e Kāingalotu ʻi Saioné naʻa nau nofo ʻi ha veʻe vai naʻe ui ko e Vaitafe Siʻi Soaelí, ko ha maile nai ʻe nimangofulu ki he tokelau hahake ʻo Tauʻatāiná. Naʻa nau ʻilo ai ha kolo naʻe ui ko Hihifo Mamaʻo, ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi e palani ʻa Siosefa ki he kolo ko Saioné ko honau fakahinohino ki hono fokotuʻutuʻu ʻo e nofoʻangá. ʻI haʻanau feinga ke maʻu ha solovaʻanga fakamelino ki he ngaahi palopalema hokohoko ʻa e Kāingalotú mo honau ngaahi kaungāʻapí, naʻe fokotuʻutuʻu ai ʻe he maʻu mafai fakalao ʻo Mīsulí ʻa e Vahefonua Kolotiuelá, ʻa ia naʻe kau ai ʻa e kelekele ofi ki Hihifo Mamaʻo mo e Vaitafe Siʻi Soaelí, ke nofoʻi ʻe he Kāingalotú.[1]

Naʻe ʻikai faʻa tatali ʻa Tōmasi ke ne toe fakataha mo e toenga ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, tautautefito ʻi heʻene ʻilo fekauʻaki mo e holi ʻa Paʻale ke ʻave ʻa e ongoongoleleí ki ʻIngilaní. Ko ha sitepu mahuʻinga ʻa hono malangaʻi ʻo e ongoongoleleí ki ha fonua muli, pea ʻi heʻene hoko ko e palesiteni ʻo e kōlomú, naʻe fie maʻu ʻe Tōmasi ke tānaki fakataha ʻa e kau ʻaposetoló mo palani fakataha ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekaú.

Naʻá ne toe hohaʻa foki fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi lipooti kuó ne maʻu fekauʻaki mo e angatuʻu ʻi Ketilaní. Ko e toko tolu ʻo e kau angatuʻú—ʻa Luke mo Laimani Sionisoni mo Sione Poinitoni—naʻa nau hoko ko ha kau mēmipa ʻo ʻene kōlomú. Naʻe manavasiʻi ʻa Tōmasi ʻe ʻikai ola lelei e ngāue fakafaifekau ki ʻIngilaní, ʻo ka ʻikai hoko ʻo uouangataha ange ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá.[2]

ʻI ʻOhaioó, naʻe lava ke sio ʻa Hiipa Kimipolo ki he vaetuʻua ʻa e Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá talu e fakaava ʻo e Sosaieti Malu ʻo Ketilaní he māhina ʻe ono kimuʻá. Naʻe kamata foki ke ʻita lahi kia Siosefa ʻa ʻOasoni Haiti, Uiliami Makalelini, mo ʻOasoni Palati, ʻi he ʻikai ola lelei ʻene ngaahi feinga ke totongi e moʻua ʻo e siasí. ʻI he lea fakafepaki ko ʻeni ʻa Paʻale Palati kia Siosefá, ko Pilikihami ʻIongi pē mo Hiipa Kimipolo ʻa e ongo ʻaposetolo ne na kei tuʻu maʻu ʻiate kinautolu ne ʻi Ketilaní.[3]

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha lolotonga e tangutu ʻa Hiipa mo e palōfitá ʻi he tuʻunga malanga ʻo e temipalé, naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Siosefa ʻo fanafana ange, “ʻE hoku tokoua ko Hiipa, kuo fanafana mai kiate au ʻa e Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí ʻo pehē, ‘Tuku ke ʻalu ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Hīpá ki ʻIngilani ʻo malanga ʻaki ʻeku ongoongoleleí pea mo fakaava ai ʻa e matapā ʻo e fakamoʻuí ki he puleʻanga ko iá.’”

Naʻe fuʻu ʻohovale ʻa Hiipa. Ko ha tufunga ngaohi ipu pē ia mo e tuʻunga fakaako siʻisiʻi. Ko ʻIngilani ʻa e puleʻanga mālohi taha ʻi he māmaní, pea naʻe ʻiloa hono kakaí ʻi heʻenau ʻiló mo ʻenau mateaki fakalotú. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “‘Oiauē, ʻEiki, ko ha tangata leʻovale au, mo matuʻaki ta‘efeʻunga ki ha ngāue pehē. ʻE lava fēfē ke u ʻalu ʻo malanga ʻi he fonua ko iá?”[4]

Pea fēfē hono fāmilí? Ne ʻikai faʻa lava ʻe Hiipa e fakakaukau atu ki hono tuku ʻo Vilate mo ʻena fānaú kae ʻalu ʻo malanga ʻi ha fonua mulí. Naʻá ne ʻosi fakapapauʻi naʻe feʻunga ki he kau ʻaposetolo kehé ke taki ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú. Ko Tōmasi Maasi ʻa e ʻaposetolo fuoloa tahá pea kau ʻiate kinautolu ne fuofua lau ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná pea kau ki he siasí. Ko e hā ʻikai ʻave ai ia ʻe he ʻOtuá?

Kae fēfē ʻa Pilikihami? Naʻe kole ange ʻe Hiipa kia Siosefa pe ʻe lava pē ā ke ne ʻalu mo Pilikihami ki ʻIngilani. Naʻe ʻi ha tuʻunga fuoloa ange ʻa Pilikihami ʻi he kōlomú koeʻuhí he naʻá ne motuʻa ange ʻia Hiipa.

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Siosefa, ʻikai. Naʻá ne fie maʻu ʻa Pilikihami ke nofo ʻi Ketilani.[5]

Ne fakatoupīkoi pē ʻene tali ʻa e uiuiʻí mo teuteu ke mavahé. Naʻá ne lotu he ʻaho kotoa ʻi he temipalé, ʻo kolea e maluʻi mo e mālohi ʻa e ʻEikí. Ne vave pē ʻa e mafola hono uiuiʻí ʻi Ketilani, pea naʻe vekeveke ʻa Pilikihami mo ha niʻihi kehe ke poupouʻi ʻene fili ke ʻalú. Naʻa nau talaange kia Hiipa, “Fai e meʻa kuo talaatu ʻe he palōfitá kiate koé pea ʻe tāpuekina ʻaki koe ha mālohi ke fai ha ngāue naunauʻia.”

Naʻe ʻikai fuʻu fakalotolahi ʻa Sione Poinitoni. Naʻá ne pehē fakaʻita, “Kapau ko e vale koe ke ke ʻalu ʻi ha ui ʻa ha palōfita kuo hinga, he ʻikai te u fai ha meʻa ke tokoniʻi koe.” Naʻe toe fakafepakiʻi foki ʻeni ʻe Laimani Sionisoni, ka ʻi he hili ʻene sio ki he vekeveke ʻa Hiipa ke ʻalú, naʻá ne toʻo hono koté ʻo hili ia ʻi he funga uma ʻo Hīpá.[6]

Ne ʻikai fuoloa kuo haʻu ʻa Siosefa Filitingi ki Ketilani mo ha kulupu ʻo ha Kāingalotu Kānata, pea naʻe vahe kiate ia mo ha niʻihi kehe ke nau ʻalu ki he misioná, ʻo fakahoko ai ʻa e kikite ʻa Hiipa ʻe hoko e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa Paʻalé ke ne fakatoka e fakavaʻe ki ha ngāue fakafaifekau ki ʻIngilani. Naʻe fakatomala ʻa ʻOasoni Haiti mei heʻene taʻepoupoú peá ne kau atu ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú. Ko hono fakaʻosí, naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Hiipa ʻa Uiliate Lisiate ʻoku tokoua ʻaki ʻe Pilikihamí ke ne ʻalu mo kinautolu.[7]

ʻI he ʻaho ke ne ʻalu aí, naʻe tūʻulutui ʻa Hiipa mo Vilate mo ʻena fānaú. Naʻá ne lotu ke maluʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi heʻene fononga he funga ʻo e ʻōsení, mo ngaohi ia ke ne ʻaonga ʻi he malaʻe ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekaú, mo tokonaki maʻa hono fāmilí lolotonga ʻene mamaʻó. Hili iá, naʻá ne tāpuekina takitaha ʻe ne fānau, ʻo ʻalu noa pē hono loʻimatá peá ne mavahe atu ki he ʻOtu Motu Pilitāniá.[8]

Ne hokohoko atu e ngaahi palopalema fakaʻekonōmika ʻa e fonuá ki he faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1837. ʻI he ʻikai haʻane paʻanga pea siʻisiʻi mo e meʻakaí, naʻe taʻofi ai ʻe Sonatane Kolosipei e ngāue ʻi hono falé ka ne kau atu ki ha kau ngāue naʻa nau langa ha fale maʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma. Ka ko e meʻa pē naʻe lava ʻe Siosefa ʻo totongi ʻaki ʻa e kau ngāué ko e paʻanga pepa ʻa e Sosaieti Malú, ʻa ia ne fakaʻau ke tokosiʻi pea toe tokosiʻi ange ʻa e ngaahi pisinisi naʻa nau tali ia ko ha totongi ʻi Ketilaní. ʻE vave pē ha ʻikai toe ʻi ai ha mahuʻinga ʻo e ngaahi paʻanga pepá.

Ne māmālie pē ʻa e mavahe atu ʻa e kau tangatá ke kumi ha ngāue ʻoku totongi lelei angé. Ka naʻe hoko e hohaʻa fakapaʻangá ke siʻisiʻi ai ha ngaahi ngāue maʻuʻanga moʻui ʻi loto pea takatakai ʻi Ketilani—pe ko ha toe feituʻu pē ʻi he fonuá. Ko hono olá, ko e hiki mamafa ʻaupito ʻa e totongi ʻo e koloá pea maʻulalo ʻaupito ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e kelekelé. Ne tokosiʻi ha kakai ʻi Ketilani naʻa nau maʻu ha meʻa ke tokoniʻi kinautolu pe ko e kau ngāué. Koeʻuhí ke totongi e moʻua ʻo e siasía naʻe pau ke mōkisi atu ʻe Siosefa ʻa e temipalé, ʻo tuʻu ai ʻi ha tuʻunga faingataʻa ke tāpuni.[9]

Lolotonga e ngāue ʻa Sonatane ʻi he fale ʻo e palōfitá, naʻe faʻa tokoto hono uaifi ko Kalolainé ʻi he mohengá, ʻo fakaakeake mei ha momoko lahi. Ne hanga ʻe ha kiʻi siemu ʻi hono huhú ʻo taʻofi ia mei heʻene fakahuhu hona fohá, pea ʻi he fakaʻau ke siʻi ange ʻenau maʻuʻanga meʻatokoní, naʻá ne hohaʻa pe ʻe maʻu mei fē ha meʻa ke kai ʻe hono fāmilí. Naʻe ʻi ai haʻanau kiʻi ngoue vesitapolo naʻe maʻu ai ha meʻakai, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻanau pulu, pea pau ai ke nau fakatau huʻakau mei he ngaahi kaungāʻapí ke fafanga hona fohá.

Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Kalolaine naʻe tokolahi hona ngaahi kaungāmeʻa naʻa nau ʻi he tuʻunga tatau mo ia. ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ʻe faʻa vahevahe ʻe ha niʻihi ʻenau meʻakaí mo kinautolu, ka ʻi he tokolahi e faingataʻaʻia ʻa e Kāingalotú ke feau ʻenau ngaahi fie maʻú, ne ngali ke ʻikai toe maʻu ʻe ha taha ha meʻa feʻunga ke vahevahe.

ʻI he ʻalu ʻa e taimí, naʻe mamata ʻa Kalolaine ki hono tukuakiʻi ʻe Paʻale Palati mo e fāmili Poinitoní, mo ha niʻihi kehe ʻo honau ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ʻa e siasí koeʻuhi ko honau ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá. Naʻe mole haʻane paʻanga mo Sonatane ki he Sosaieti Malú, ka naʻe ʻikai foki ke na hao mei he faingataʻá. Naʻe mālō pē ʻena kei lava ʻo maʻu ʻena ngaahi fie maʻú, ʻo hangē ko ha tokolahi kehe, ka naʻe ʻikai pē ke ne ongoʻi pe ko Sonatane ʻokú na fie mavahe mei he siasí pe siʻaki ʻa e palōfitá.

Ko hono moʻoní, naʻe ngāue ʻa Sonatane ʻi he fale ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá kae ʻoua kuó ne toe toko taha pē ʻi he kau ngāué. ʻI he taimi ne ʻikai toe maʻu ai haʻana meʻakai mo Kalolainé, naʻá ne mālōlō ʻaho taha mei he ngāué ke fekumi ki ha meʻa ke tokonaki maʻa hono fāmilí, ka naʻá ne foki ki ʻapi ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa.[10]

“Ko e hā leva te tau fai he taimi ní?” Ko e ʻeke ange ia ʻe Kalolainé.

Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sonatane neongo ʻena ngaahi faingataʻaʻia fakapaʻanga mo Kalolainé, ka naʻá na faʻa maʻu ha meʻatokoni ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi ke foaki kiate kinautolu ne siʻi ange e meʻa naʻa nau maʻú ʻiate kinauá. Naʻá ne talaange, “ʻI he pongipongí, te u ʻalu ʻo talaange kia Sisitā ʻEma ʻa hotau tūkungá.”

ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻe foki atu ʻa Sonatane ke ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá, kae kimuʻa peá ne maʻu ha faingamālie ke talanoa mo ʻEmá, naʻá ne haʻu kiate ia. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻOku ʻikai ke u ʻilo pe ʻoku lahi e meʻakai ʻokú mou maʻú, ka kuó ke haʻu ʻo ngāue lolotonga e mavahe ʻa e niʻhi kehé.” Naʻá ne pukepuke ʻi hono nimá ha konga hami lahi. “Naʻá ku pehē te u ʻoatu haʻo meʻaʻofa.”[11]

ʻI heʻene ʻohovalé, naʻe fakamālō ange ʻa Sonatane mo ne ʻohake ʻa e ʻikai ha meʻa ʻi heʻenau kōpaté mo e fokoutua ʻo Kalolainé. ʻI he fanongo ʻa ʻEma ki he meʻá ni, naʻá ne talaange kia Sonatane ke ne toʻo ha tangai ʻo ʻave e mahoaʻá ki he lahi taha te ne lavá.

Ne ʻomi ʻe Sonatane ʻa e meʻakaí ki honau ʻapí kimui ange ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, pea ʻi he maʻuʻe Kalolaine ʻene fuofua meʻatokoni moʻoni ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho lahí, naʻá ne fakakaukau ʻoku ʻikai ha toe meʻa ʻe ifo pehē.[12]

ʻI he fakaʻosinga ʻo Suné, ne toe houtamaki ange ʻa e kau angatuʻú. ʻI he taki kinautolu ʻe Uēleni Peilisi, naʻa nau fakahohaʻasi e ngaahi houalotu Sāpate ʻi he temipalé mo tukuakiʻi ʻa Siosefa ki he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo e angahalá. Kapau ʻe feinga ha taha ke ne maluʻi e palōfitá, naʻe kaikailaʻi kinautolu ʻe he kau angatuʻú mo fakamanamanaʻi ʻenau moʻuí.[13]

Naʻe puputuʻu ʻa Mele Filitingi, ʻa ia naʻá ne toki hiki mai ki Ketilani mo hono tuongaʻané kimuʻa peá ne mavahe ki ʻIngilaní, ʻi he moveuveu ʻi ʻOhaioó. ʻI ha pongipongi ʻe taha lolotonga ha fakataha ʻi he temipalé, naʻe ui ai ʻe Paʻale Palati ʻa Siosefa ke ne fakatomala mo ne pehē kuo mei ʻosi e siasí kotoa ʻi he mavahe mei he ʻOtuá.

Naʻe fakamamahi kia Mele ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Paʻalé.[14] Ko e leʻo tatau pē naʻá ne akoʻi kiate ia ʻa e ongoongoleleí, ko ʻeni ʻokú ne fakaangaʻi e palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá mo ʻohofi e siasí. Naʻe tufaki ʻi Ketilani kotoa e tohi fakaʻita ʻa Paʻale kia Siosefá, pea naʻe ʻikai ke fakapulipuliʻi ʻe Paʻale ʻa ʻene lotomamahí. Lolotonga e ʻi he koló ʻa Sione Teilá, naʻe ʻave ia ʻe Paʻale ki he tafaʻakí ʻo ne fakatokanga kiate ia ke ʻoua te ne muimui ʻia Siosefa.

Naʻe fakamanatu ange ʻe Sione kiate ia, “Kimuʻa peá ke mavahe mei Kānatá, naʻá ke fakamoʻoniʻi mālohi ko Siosefa Sāmitá ko ha palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea naʻá ke pehē naʻá ke ʻilo ʻa e ngaahi meʻá ni ʻi he fakahā mo e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.”

Naʻe fakamoʻoni ange leva ʻa Sione, “ʻOku ou maʻu eni ʻa e fakamoʻoni tatau naʻá ke fiefia aí. Kapau naʻe moʻoni e ngāué ʻi he māhina ʻe ono kuo ʻosí, ʻoku moʻoni ia ʻi he ʻahó ni. Kapau naʻe palōfita ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ʻi he taimi ko iá, ʻokú ne hoko ko ha palōfita ʻi he taimí ni.”[15]

Lolotonga ʻení, naʻe fokoutua ʻa e Palōfitá ʻo ʻikai lava ke ne mavahe mei hono mohengá. Naʻe kāpui ʻe ha felangaaki lahi hono sinó kotoa, pea ne fakaʻau ʻo ne fuʻu vaivai ke toe lava ʻo hiki hake hono ʻulú. Naʻe nofo maʻu ʻa ʻEma mo ʻene toketaá ʻi hono tafaʻakí lolotonga ʻene feinga ke aké. Ne pehē ʻe Sitenei naʻe ʻikai ke ne tui ʻe moʻui fuoloa ange ʻa Siosefa.[16]

Naʻe fiefia ʻa e kau fakaanga ʻo Siosefá ʻi heʻene mamahí, ʻo pehē naʻe tauteaʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá koeʻuhí ko ʻene ngaahi angahalá. Ka neongo iá, naʻe tokolahi e ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ʻo e palōfitá naʻa nau ʻalu ki he temipalé ʻo lotu ʻi he poó kotoa ke fakamoʻui ia.[17]

Ne aʻu ki ha taimi kuo kamata ke ne fakaakeake, pea naʻe ʻaʻahi atu ʻa Mele mo Vilate Kimipolo kiate ia. Naʻá ne talaange naʻe fakafiemālieʻi ia ʻe he ʻEikí lolotonga ʻene puké. Naʻe fiefia ʻa Mele ke vakai atu ʻokú ne moʻui lelei ange mo fakaafeʻi ia ke ne ʻaʻahi ki he Kāingalotu ʻoku nau nofo ʻi Kānatá ʻi heʻene saí.

ʻI he Sāpate hono hokó, naʻe kau atu ʻa Mele ki ha toe lotu ʻi he temipalé. Naʻe kei fuʻu vaivai ʻa Siosefa ke kau atu, pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Uēleni Peilisi ki he tuʻunga malangá ʻo ne tangutu ʻi he nofoʻanga ʻo e palōfitá. Naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe Hailame, ʻa ia naʻá ne tataki ʻa e lotú, ha meʻa ki he meʻa fakatupuʻita ko ʻení, ka naʻá ne teuteu ha malanga lōloa fekauʻaki mo e tuʻunga ʻo e siasí.

Naʻe fononga ʻa Siosefa ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfana tatau pē ki Kānata ke ʻaʻahi ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Tolonitoó. ʻI heʻene mamaʻó, naʻe lea ʻa Siosefa Sāmita ko e Lahí ʻi ha lotu he ʻaho Sāpaté ʻi he temipale Ketilaní fekauʻaki mo e faingataʻa ʻa e Sosaieti Malú.

Ko Ha Fonua Māʻoniʻoni Kuo Fakatapui

Naʻe lōloa mo momoko ʻa e faʻahitaʻu momoko ʻo e 1838. ʻI he fononga fakahihifo ʻa e ongo fāmili ʻo Siosefa mo Sitineí, naʻe fāinga atu ʻa ʻŌliva Kautele ʻi he fakatokelau ʻo Mīsulí, ʻo fepaki mo e ʻuhá mo e sinoú ke fekumi ki ha feituʻu maʻá e ngaahi siteiki foʻou ʻo Saioné. Naʻe kau ʻa e kelekelé ʻi he lelei taha kuó ne mamata pea naʻá ne vakaiʻi ha ngaahi feituʻu lahi ʻe ala fononga ki ai e Kāingalotú ke fokotuʻu ha ngaahi kolo lalahi mo ha ngaahi fahiʻanga papa. Ka naʻe siʻi ha meʻa ke ne maʻu meʻatokoni mei ai ʻi he feituʻu maʻomaʻonganoa ne ʻikai fuʻu nofoʻí, pea ʻikai ha meʻa ka ko e hahau pē ʻo e kelekelé ke ne mohe ai ʻi he poʻulí.

‘I heʻene foki ki Hihifo Mamaʻo ʻi ha uike ʻe tolu mei aí, naʻá ne fuʻu ongosia fakaesino.[1] ʻI he fakaʻau ke moʻui leleí, naʻá ne ʻilo ai naʻe fakatotoloʻi ia mo e kau palesitenisī ʻo e siasí ʻi Mīsulí—ʻa Tēvita Uitemā, Sione Uitemā, mo Uiliami Felipisi—ʻe Tōmasi Maasi, Tēvita Pāteni, mo e fakataha alēlea māʻolungá, ki he faihala.[2]

Naʻe fakatefito ʻa e ngaahi tukuakiʻí ʻi he founga ʻo ʻenau tokangaʻi e kelekelé ʻi he feituʻu ko iá. ʻI ha kiʻi taimi ki muʻa ai, naʻe fakatau atu ʻe Sione mo Uiliami ʻa e kelekele ʻo e siasí ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻo peá na maʻu pē ʻa e tupú maʻanaua, pea naʻe teʻeki fakaleleiʻi ʻa e meʻa ko iá. ʻIkai ngata aí, ka naʻe toki fakatau pē ʻe ʻŌliva, Sione, mo Uiliami ha niʻihi ʻo honau kelekele ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní. Neongo naʻa nau maʻu e totonu fakalao ke fakatau e kelekele ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní, ʻa ia ko honau kelekele fakatāutahá, ka naʻe fakatapui ia ki he ʻEikí, pea kuo tapui kinautolu ʻe ha fakahā ke nau fakatau atu ia. ʻIkai ngata pē ʻi heʻenau maumauʻi ha fuakava toputapú, ka naʻa nau fakahā e siʻi ʻenau tui ʻi Saioné.

Naʻe hā ʻa ʻŌliva ʻi he ʻao ʻo e fakataha alēlea māʻolunga ʻo Mīsulí ʻo ne pehē ai koeʻuhí naʻá ne totongi pē mo e niʻihi kehé ʻa e kelekele ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní ʻaki ʻenau paʻanga pē ʻanautolú, te nau lava ʻo fakatau ia ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa ʻoku nau loto ki aí. Naʻá ne toe fakafehuʻi ʻiate ia pē ʻa e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻo ha niʻihi ʻi he fakataha alēleá. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne falala ki he kau tangata hangē ko Tōmasi Maasi mo ha niʻihi kehe naʻa nau ngali manumanu ki he lakangá mo e mafaí. Naʻe mahamahalo ʻa ʻŌliva kuo nau fakalotoʻi ʻa Siosefa ke ne tafoki meiate ia, ʻo toe ʻai ke kovi ange hona vā fakakaungāmeʻa ne ʻikai fuʻu lelei mo e palōfitá.[3]

“ʻOku fuʻia hoku laumālié he sio ki he kumi mafai peheé,” ko ʻene fakahoko ange ia ki hono tokouá. “Naʻá ku haʻu ki he fonuá ni ke maʻu ha nonga. Kapau he ʻikai ke u lava [ʻo maʻu ia], te u ʻalu ki ha feituʻu ʻe maʻu aí.”

Koeʻuhí ko e ʻi he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ʻa ʻŌlivá, naʻe ʻikai faituʻutuʻuni ki ai ʻa e fakataha alēlea māʻolungá, pea naʻá ne tauhi pē hono uiuiʻí. Ka naʻe toʻo e ngaahi lakanga ʻo Tēvita, Sione, mo Uiliamí.[4]

Hili ha ʻaho ʻe fā mei ai, naʻe fakataha ʻa ʻŌliva mo e kau tangata ʻe toko tolú mo ha niʻihi kehe tokosiʻi naʻa nau vekeveke ke mavahe mei he siasí. Ko e tokolahi ʻo kinautolu naʻa nau fakaʻofaʻia ʻia Uēleni Peilisi mo hono siasi foʻou ʻi Ketilaní. Hangē ko Uēlení, naʻa nau fakapapauʻi ke fakafepakiʻi e palōfitá.[5]

ʻI he ʻaho ki he ʻaho, lolotonga e tatali ʻa e Kāingalotú ke foki mai ʻa Siosefa ki Hihifo Mamaʻó, naʻe fakalalahi e taaufehiʻa ʻa ʻŌliva ki he kau taki ʻo e siasí. Naʻá ne veiveiua ʻe mahino kiate kinautolu e ʻuhinga naʻá ne fakahoko ai ʻa ia naʻá ne faí. Naʻá ne fakaʻita ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ke tau fakatetuʻa atu ʻe tali pe fakahikihikiʻi [kitautolu] ʻe he valé mo e taʻemahinó.”[6]

Naʻá ne kei tui pē ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo hono fakafoki mai ʻo e ongoongoleleí, pea na’e ʻikai lava ke ngalo pe te ne fakaʻikaiʻi ʻa e ngaahi aʻusia toputapu naʻá ne maʻu mo e palōfitá. Kuó na hoko ko ha ongo tautehina mo e kaungāmeʻa lelei taha, mo ha ongo kaungā tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi.

Ka ʻi he taimi ní, ne faingataʻa ke toe manatu ki he taimi ko iá.[7]

Hili e foki mai ‘a Sēneta Lisiate ki hono ʻapi ʻi Uokafoli, ʻIngilaní, naʻe ʻilo pea tokanga ʻene ongomātuʻá, ʻa Sione mo ʻĒlini, fekauʻaki mo Hiipa Kimipolo mo ʻene papitaisó. Naʻe toʻo hake ʻe heʻene tangataʻeikí ha pepa mo ha peni ke faʻu ha kiʻi tohi nounou ki he faifekaú, ʻo fakaafeʻi ia ke ne malanga ʻi hono falelotú.

Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fie maʻu koe ke ke ʻi heni ʻi he Sāpate kahaʻú. Neongo ʻoku ʻikai ke ta feʻilongaki, ka ʻoku ou ʻamanaki ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ongo sola kitaua ki hotau Huhuʻí.”

Naʻe tūʻuta atu ʻa Hiipa ʻi he Tokonaki hono hokó, pea naʻe talitali loto māfana ia ʻe he faifekaú. Naʻá ne pehē “ʻOku mahino kiate au ko e faifekau koe naʻá ke toki tūʻuta mai mei ʻAmeliká. “ʻOfa ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe he ʻOtuá.” Naʻá ne taki atu ‘a Hiipa ki hono ʻapí pea ʻoange ha meʻa ke ne maʻu meʻatokoni ai.

Naʻe fepōtalanoaʻaki ʻa e fāmilí mo Hiipa ʻo tuʻuapō.[8] ʻI he vakai atu ʻa Sēneta ki he fakamaheni ʻa e ongo tangatá, naʻe hā mahino hona ngaahi faikehekehé. Naʻe taʻu fitungofulu mā ua ʻene tangataʻeikí pea kuó ne malanga mei he tuʻunga malanga ʻi Uokafolí ʻo laka hake ʻi ha taʻu ʻe fāngofulu. Ko ha kiʻi tangata siʻisiʻi ia naʻá ne tui ha lou ʻulu loi lanu melomelo peá ne lau e lea faka-Kalisí mo e faka-Latiná.[9] ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, naʻe lōloa mo sino lahi ʻa Hiipa, pea naʻe tula hono ʻulú. Naʻe teʻeki ke ne taʻu fāngofulu, pea naʻe siʻisiʻi pē ʻene tuʻunga fakaakó pe fakasōsialé.

Ka naʻe vave pē ʻena hoko ko ha ongo kaungāmeʻá. ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻe lue fakataha atu ʻa e ongo tangatá ki he falelotu Uokafolí. ʻI heʻenau ʻiloʻi ko ha faifekau ʻAmelika ʻe malangá, naʻe tokolahi ange ʻa e kakai ne omi ki he lotú, pea naʻe fonu ʻa e kiʻi falelotu siʻisiʻí ʻo hake. Hili hono fakaava ‘e he faifekaú ʻa e fakatahá ʻaki e hiva mo e lotu, naʻá ne fakaafeʻi ʻa Hiipa ke ne malanga.

Naʻe tuʻu ʻa Hiipa ʻi he tuʻunga malangá ʻo lea ki he haʻofangá ʻi ha lea ʻa ha tangata angamaheni. Naʻa ne lea fekauʻaki mo e mahuʻinga ʻo e tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí mo e fakatomala moʻoní. Naʻá ne pehē naʻe fie maʻu ha taha ke papitaiso ʻi he fakauku pea maʻu e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní mei ha taha kuó ne maʻu ʻa e mafai totonu mei he ʻOtuá.

Naʻe tali lelei ʻe he kakai ʻo Uokafolí ʻa e pōpoakí ʻo hangē ko e kau papi ului ʻi Kānatá, ʻa ia naʻe tatau ia mo ʻenau mahino ki he Tohi Tapú. ʻI he hoʻatā efiafi ko iá, ne haʻu ha kakai tokolahi ange ki he falelotú ke toe fanongo ki he malanga ʻa Hīpá. Hili ʻene malangá, naʻe loʻimataʻia ʻa e haʻofangá pea naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe he tangataʻeiki ʻa Sēnetá ia ke ne malanga ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó.

Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa mei ai, ne ʻikai ko Sēneta pē ʻa e toko taha tui ʻi Uokafolí. Hili e malanga ʻa Hiipa he Mōnité, naʻe kole ange ʻe he kāingalotú ke ne toe malanga muʻa he Pulelulú. ʻI he fakaʻosinga ʻo e uiké, kuó ne papitaiso ha kau mēmipa ʻe toko ono ʻi he haʻofangá—pea naʻe toe kole ʻe he kakai ʻo Uokafolí ke nau toe fanongo ki ha meʻa lahi ange.[10]

ʻI he ʻaho 14  ʻo Māʻasi, 1838, naʻe tūʻuta ai ʻa Siosefa, ʻEma, mo ʻena fānau ʻe toko tolú ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻo hili ia haʻanau fononga ʻo meimei māhina ʻe ua. ʻI heʻenau vēkeveke ke talitali e palōfitá ki Saioné, ne feʻiloaki fiefia e Kāingalotú mo e fāmilí. Ne hoko ʻenau anga fakakaumeʻá mo e fekita angaʻofá ko ha meʻa fakafiefia ʻo kehe ia mei he angatuʻu mo e fekeʻikeʻi ne mavahe mai ʻa Siosefa mei ai ʻi Ketilaní. Naʻe maʻu ʻe he Kāingalotu naʻa nau takatakai ʻiate iá ha laumālie ʻo e uouangataha, mo e ʻofa naʻe nofoʻia ʻiate kinautolu.[11]

Naʻe fie maʻu ʻe Siosefa ke toe kamata foʻou ʻi Mīsuli. ʻE vave pē ha tūʻuta mai ʻa e Kāingalotu mei Ketilaní mo e ʻū kolo ʻo e siasí ʻi he fakahahake ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití mo Kānatá. Ke tokoni kiate kinautolú, naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he siasí ke fokotuʻu ha ngaahi siteiki ʻo Saione ʻa ia te nau tānaki ki ai ʻi he melino mo maʻu e faingamālie ke nau tupulakí.

Ne ʻosi fekumi ʻa ʻŌliva ʻi he feituʻú ki ha ngaahi tānakiʻanga, pea naʻe ngali ʻe lelei pē mei heʻene lipōtí. Ka naʻe ʻilo ʻe Siosefa kuo pau ke ne lea ki he fakalalahi ʻa e fekeʻikeʻí ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó kimuʻa pea lava ke kamata ha ngaahi nofoʻanga foʻoú. Naʻe fakamamahi kiate ia ke ne mamata ki ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa hangē ko ʻŌlivá kuo nau hē atu mei he siasí, ka naʻe ʻikai lava ke ne tuku ke fakalalahi ʻa e fekeʻikeʻí ʻi Mīsuli ʻo hangē ko ia ne hoko ʻi Ketilaní.

Naʻe fakahikihikiʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻa e tuʻunga fakataki ʻa Tōmasi Māsí mo e fakataha alēlea māʻolungá ʻi he melino ne ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó. Talu mei hono toʻo e lakanga ʻo Uiliami Felipisi mo Sione Uitemaá, naʻe tuʻusi e ongo tangatá fakatouʻosi mei he siasí ʻe he fakataha alēlea māʻolungá, pea naʻe fakangofua ʻe Siosefa ʻenau tuʻutuʻuní. ʻI he taimi ní, naʻá ne tui kuo taimi ke fai ha meʻa ki he hē ʻa ʻŌliva [mei he siasí].[12]

ʻI he ʻaho 12  ʻo ʻEpeleí, naʻe ui ai ʻe ʻEtuate Patilisi ha fakataha alēlea ʻa e kau pīsopé ke toe vakaiʻi e tuʻunga ʻo ʻŌliva ʻi he siasí. Naʻe ʻilo lahia ʻene fakafepakí. Ne ʻikai toe ʻalu ki heʻene ngaahi fakatahaʻanga fakasiasí, ʻikai tokanga ki he faleʻi ʻa e kau taki kehe ʻo e siasí, ʻo ne tohi ha ʻū tohi fakafepaki kia Tōmasi mo e fakataha alēlea māʻolungá. Naʻe toe tukuakiʻi foki ia ki hono fakatau atu hono kelekele ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní ʻo fehangahangai ia mo e fakahaá, pea mo hono tukuakiʻi loi ʻo Siosefa ki he tono, mo hono siʻaki e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá.[13]

Naʻe fili ʻa ʻŌliva ke ʻoua te ne ʻalu ki he hopó, ka naʻá ne ʻoatu ha tohi kia Pīsope Patilisi ke ne lau ke taukapoʻi ia. Naʻe ʻikai fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe ʻŌliva ʻene fakatau atu hono kelekele ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní pe ki hono fakafepakiʻi ʻo e kau taki ʻo e siasí. Ka naʻa ne vivili pē naʻe ʻi ai ʻene totonu fakalao ke fakatau atu e ʻū konga kelekelé, ʻo tatau ai pē ki ha faʻahinga fakahā, fuakava, pe fekau. Naʻá ne fakafisi foki mei heʻene hoko ko e mēmipa ʻo e siasí.[14]

ʻI he toenga ʻo e ʻahó, naʻe toe vakaiʻi ʻe he fakataha alēleá e ngaahi fakamoʻoní mo fanongo ki ha niʻihi tokosiʻi ʻo e Kāingalotú ʻi heʻenau fakamoʻoniʻi e ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻŌlivá.

Ne fononga fakavavevave atu leva ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki Niu ʻIoke. Naʻá ne fetaulaki mo ʻIunisi mo hono husepāniti ko Sālesí ʻi he faʻahitaʻu failau ko iá, lolotonga ʻene malanga ʻi honau koló.[20] Naʻe faingataʻa pea ʻikai hokohoko lelei e malanga ʻa ʻIlaisiā kiate kinautolú. ʻI heʻene hoko ko ha tangata ʻuliʻuli ne fāʻeleʻi ʻi he masivesivá, naʻe siʻisiʻi hano ngaahi faingamālie ako.

“ʻOkú ke fie maʻu nai ha fakaʻilonga ka ke toki tui?” Ko e ʻeke ange ia ʻe ʻIlaisiaá.

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sālesi, “ʻIo.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻIlaisiā, “Te ke maʻu ʻa e meʻa kuó ke kolé, ka te ne ʻai koe ke ke lotomamahi.”

ʻI he toe foki mai ʻa ʻIlaisiā hili ka kiʻi taimi nounou mei ai, naʻá ne ʻilo ai kuo aʻusia ʻe Sālesi ha ngaahi fakamamahi lahi kimuʻa peá ne toki lotu ke maʻu ha fakamolemolé. ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻá ne mateuteu mo ʻIunisi ke na kau ki he siasí, pea na’e papitaiso kinaua ʻe ʻIlaisiā.[22]

Naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe ʻIunisi ʻa ʻene tuí ʻi he taimi ko iá. Ka ko e hā kuo hoko talu mei aí?

ʻI ha pongipongi Sāpate hili ha taimi nounou kimui ai, naʻe ʻohovale ʻa ʻIunisi ke mamata kia ʻIlaisiā ʻokú ne tuʻu ʻi tuʻa ʻi honau matafalé.

Naʻá ne fie maʻu ke talaange kiate ia ko ha tohi faʻufaʻu pē ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná pea ko ha palōfita loi ʻa Siosefa Sāmita. Ka ʻi heʻene mamata kia ʻIlaisiā he matapaá, naʻá ne fakaafeʻi ia ki loto.

Hili haʻana pōtalanoa naʻe pehē ange ʻe ʻIlaisiā, “Sisitā, ʻoku teʻeki ai ʻahiʻahiʻi koe ʻo lōloa ange ʻi he Fakamoʻuí hili hono papitaiso Iá.

Naʻe ʻikai fie ʻalu ʻa ʻIunisi ki he fakatahá, ka ʻi he hoʻatā efiafi ko iá, naʻá ne tafoki ki hono husepānití ʻo pehē ange, “Te u ʻalu ʻo vakai pe ʻe fēfē.”

ʻI heʻene tangutu hifo he faleakó, naʻe toe ueʻi ʻa ʻIunisi ʻe he ngaahi lea ʻa ʻIlaisiaá. Naʻá ne malanga ʻaki ha veesi mei he Fuakava Foʻoú.

Naʻe toe foki mai ʻa e fakapapau naʻá ne ongoʻi kimuʻá. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ko Siosefa Sāmitá ko ha palōfita ʻa e ʻOtuá pea naʻe moʻoni ʻa e Tohi ʻa Molomoná.

Naʻe palōmesi ange ʻa ʻIlaisiā kia ʻIunisi te ne toe foki mai ʻi ha uike ʻe ua. Ka ʻi he hili ʻene mavahé, naʻe sio ʻa ʻIunisi ʻi ha fanongonongo ʻi kolo ʻo tukuakiʻi loi ai ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki hano fakapoongi ʻo ha fefine mo e fānau ʻe toko nima. Naʻe ʻoatu ʻi he fanongonongó ha totongi ko hono puke iá.

Naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo hono ngaahi kaungāʻapí, “Ko e hā leva hoʻo fakakaukau ki hoʻomou faifekau Māmongá?” Naʻa nau fuakava ʻe puke pōpula ʻa ʻIlaisiā kimuʻa peá ne toe maʻu ha faingamālie ke malanga ʻi honau koló.

Naʻe ʻikai tui ʻa ʻIunisi kuo fakapoongi ʻe ʻIlaisiā ha taha. Naʻá ne pehē, “Te ne haʻu ʻo fakakakato hono fatongiá pea ʻe maluʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtuá.”[24]

Naʻá ne mahaloʻi naʻe faʻufaʻu ʻe he kau fakafepaki ki he siasí ʻa e talanoá. Naʻe ʻikai ko ha meʻa foʻou ia ki he kakai hinehiná ke nau fakamafola ha ngaahi loi fekauʻaki mo e kakai ʻuliʻulí, ʻo aʻu pē ki he ngaahi feituʻu naʻe taʻefakalao ai e nofo pōpulá.

Hangē ko ia naʻá ne palōmesí, naʻe toe foki mai ʻa ʻIlaisiā hili ha uike ʻe ua ke toe malanga. Naʻe fonu ʻa e ʻapiakó. Ne hangē ne fie maʻu ʻe he taha kotoa ke sio ʻoku puke pōpula ia—pe toe kovi ange ai.

Ne tangutu hifo ʻa ʻIlaisiā. Hili ha kiʻi taimi siʻi, naʻá ne tuʻu ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa, ʻoku tukuakiʻi au ki hano fakapoongi ʻo ha fefine mo ha fānau ʻe toko nima, pea ʻoku ʻi ai ha totongi lahi ki hono maʻu aú. Ko ia ai, ko au ʻeni.”

Ne sio takai ʻa ʻIunisi ʻi he lokí. Naʻe ʻikai ngaue ha taha.

Naʻe toe hoko atu ʻa ʻIlaisiā, “Kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha ʻoku ʻi ai haʻane meʻa ke fai kiate au, ko ho taimí ʻeni. Ka ʻi he kamata ʻeku malangá, ʻoua naʻa teitei pā mai ho nimá kiate au.”

Naʻe kiʻi fakalongolongo ʻa ʻIlaisiā ʻo tatali ki ha tali. Naʻe siofi fakalongomate ia ʻe he haʻofangá. Hili ha momeniti mei ai, naʻá ne hiva ha himi, fai ha lotu, peá ne fakahoko ha malanga mālohi moʻoni.

Kimuʻa peá ne mavahe mei koló, naʻe talanoa ʻa ʻIlaisiā mo ʻIunisi mo Sālesi. Naʻá ne faleʻi kiate kinaua ʻo pehē, “Fakatau atu homo ʻapí pea mo hiki fakahihifo ke mamaʻo atu.” Ne fakalalahi e tāufehiʻa ki he Kāingalotú ʻi he ʻēliá, pea naʻe ʻi ai ha kolo ʻo e siasí ʻi ha maile ʻe fāngofulu mei ai.

Ka naʻe toe hohaʻasi ia ʻe he ngaahi palopalema kimuʻá.

Naʻá Ne fakahā, “ʻOku ou fie maʻu ʻenau koloa hulu kotoa pē ke ʻoatu ia ki he nima ʻo e pīsope ʻo hoku siasí ʻi Saioné,ki hono langa ʻo hoku falé, pea ki hono ʻai ʻa e fakavaʻe ʻo Saioné.” Hili hono fai ha meʻa te nau lavá, naʻe hoko atu e ʻEikí ʻo pehē, naʻe fie maʻu ʻa e Kāingalotú ke totongi ha vahe hongofulu ʻe taha ʻo ʻenau tupú mei he taʻu ki he taʻu.

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí, “Kapau he ʻikai tauhi ʻe hoku kakaí ʻa e fono ko ʻení, ʻe ʻikai hoko ia ko ha fonua ʻo Saione kiate kimoutolu.”[34]

Naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEikí, fekauʻaki mo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ʻa Tōmasi Maasi ke ne nofo ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻo ʻo tokoni ʻi he pulusi ʻa e siasí mo hono uiuiʻi ʻo ha kau ʻaposetolo kehe ke nau malanga.

Lōloa Feʻunga ʻEtau Feingá

Ko e ʻaho 6  ʻo ʻAokosi, 1838, ko e ʻAho Filí ia ʻi Mīsuli. ʻI he pongipongi ko iá, naʻe heka atu ai ʻa Sione Patilā ki he kolo ko Kelatiní, ko e feituʻu fakapuleʻanga ia ki he Vahefonua Teivisí, ke fili.[1]

Kuo hoko ʻa Sione ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ʻi ha ngaahi taʻu siʻi pē. Naʻá ne hiki mo hono uaifi ko Kalolainé ki ha kiʻi nofoʻanga ofi ki ʻĀtama-ʻonitai-ʻĀmani ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá. Ko ha kapiteni ia ʻi he kautau fakalotofonuá mo ha mēmipa Teinaiti.[2]

Ne toki kamataʻi pē ʻa Kelatini ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ne toki ʻosí pea ko ha ngaahi fale nofoʻanga pē ʻe niʻihi mo ha ngaahi fale kava. ʻI he aʻu atu ʻa Sione ki he loto koló, naʻá ne ʻilo ai ʻoku tokolahi ai ha kau tangata mei he ngaahi tapa kehekehe ʻo e vahefonuá. Ne fokotuʻu ha faiʻanga fili ʻi ha kiʻi fale ki he tafaʻaki ʻo e loto koló.[3] ʻI he feinga atu ʻa e kau tangatá ke fai ʻenau filí, naʻe tuʻu takai e kau kemipeiní ʻo talanoa mo e kakai ʻi tuʻá.[4]

Naʻe kau atu ʻa Sione ki ha kiʻi kulupu tokosiʻi ʻo e Kāingalotú naʻa nau tuʻu mavahe mei he kulupu tokolahí. Naʻe teʻeki ai pē ke manakoa ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he Vahefonua Teivisí. Hili hono fokotuʻu ʻe Siosefa ha siteiki ʻi ʻĀtama-ʻonitai-ʻĀmaní, ne tupulaki e nofoʻangá pea ne laka hake ʻi ha ngaahi fale ʻe uangeau kuo langa ai. ʻE lava ʻe he Kāingalotú he taimí ni ʻo fai ha faikehekehe ʻi he fili ʻa e vahefonuá, pea naʻe ʻita ai ha niʻihi ʻo e kau nofo foʻou kehé. Ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi palopalemá, naʻe palani ʻa Sione mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ke nau fili fakataha pea nau foki vave ki ʻapi.[5]

ʻI he ofi atu ʻa Sione ki he faiʻanga filí, naʻe kaka hake ʻa Uiliami Penisitoni, ko ha kanititeiti ki he fakafofonga ʻo e siteití, ki ha funga talamu papa uasikē ke fai ha lea. Kuo feinga ‘a Uiliami ke maʻu e fili ʻa e Kāingalotú kimuʻa atu he taʻu ko iá, ka naʻá ne ʻilo ko e tokolahi taha ʻo kinautolú naʻa nau saiʻia ʻi he kanititeiti kehé, pea naʻá ne lauʻikoviʻi kinautolu.

Naʻe kaila ʻa Uiliami ki he kau tangata ne fakataha maí, “Ko e kau taki Māmongá ko ha kau kaihaʻa hoosi, loi, mo e kau kākā kinautolu.” Ne kamata ke hohaʻa ʻa Sione. ʻOku ʻikai ko ha meʻa lahi kia Uiliami ke ne ueʻi hake ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke fakafepakiʻi ia mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kau tangatá ne nau ʻosi ʻita pē ʻiate kinautolu, pea ko e tokolahi ne talu ʻenau inu uasikē mei he fakaava ʻa e faiʻanga filí.

Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa Uiliami ki he kau filí ʻe kaihaʻa ʻe he Kāingalotú honau kelekelé pea maʻu e tokolahi ʻo ʻenau filí.[6] Naʻá ne pehē ʻoku ʻikai ke nau kau ki he vahefonuá, pea ʻoku ʻikai haʻanau totonu ke kau ki he filí. Naʻá ne polepole ʻi heʻene tafoki kia Sione mo e Kāingalotu kehé ʻo pehē, “Naʻá ku taki ha kau fakatanga ke tuli kimoutolu mei he Vahefonua Keleí pea he ʻikai ke u taʻofi kimoutolu mei hano fakatangaʻi he taimí ni.”[7]

Ne tufa atu ha uasikē lahi ange ki he kakaí. Naʻe fanongo ʻa Sione ki ha kau tangata ʻoku nau lea kovi ki he Kāingalotú. Naʻe kamata ke ne ʻunu mamaʻo atu. Naʻá ne lōloa ange ʻi he fute ʻe onó pea sino kaukaua, ka naʻe haʻu ia ki Kelatini ke fili, kae ʻikai ke fuhu.[8]

Ne fakafokifā pē ha feinga ʻa ha tangata ʻe taha ʻi he kau tangatá ke tukiʻi ha taha ʻo e Kāingalotú. Naʻe puna hake ha taha ʻo e Kāingalotú ke maluʻi ia, ka naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe he kau tangatá. Ne toʻo hake ʻe ha taha ʻo e Kāingalotú, ko hono tolú ia, ha konga papa mei ha fokotuʻunga papa ofi mai ʻo taaʻi ʻaki e ʻulu ʻo e taha ʻohofí. Naʻe tō ʻa e tangatá he veʻe vaʻe ʻo Sioné. Ne tuʻu e kau tangata he ongo faʻahí fakatouʻosi mo ha meʻa tā pea toʻo hake ha ʻū hele mo e uipi.[9]

Naʻe tokolahi ange ʻa e faʻahi ʻe tahá ʻi he Kāingalotú ʻo toko fā ki he toko taha, ka naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Sione te ne maluʻi hono kaungā Kāingalotú mo honau kau takí. Naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi atu ha fokotuʻunga pou ʻo ha ʻā, peá ne toʻo hake ha kupuʻi ʻakau matolu ʻo lele atu ki he fuhú. Naʻá ne kaila atu, “ʻIo kau Teinaiti, ko e ngāue eni maʻatautolu!”

Naʻá ne taaʻi ʻa e kau tangata naʻa nau ʻohofi ʻa e Kāingalotú, ʻo fakafuofuaʻi ʻa e fuʻu tā takitaha ke tō ki lalo ʻa e kau ʻohofí, kae ʻoua naʻa nau mate. Naʻe fakafepaki foki mo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, ʻo fakaʻaongaʻi e ngaahi vaʻakaú mo e maká ke tokoni he fuhú. Naʻa nau taaʻi ʻo tō ki lalo ha taha pē naʻe lele mai kiate kinautolu, ʻo ʻosi aipē e fuhú hili ha miniti ʻe ua.[10]

ʻI heʻene fakatau ʻene mānavá, ne vakai atu ʻa Sione ki he loto koló. Ne tokoto ʻo ʻikai toe ngaue ha kau tangata kuo nau lavelavea he funga kelekelé. Ne totolo atu honau niʻihi. Ne ʻosi puna hifo ʻa Uiliami Penisitoni mei he talamu uasikeé ʻo hola ki ha tafungofunga ofi mai.

Naʻe lue mai ha tangata mei he falukunga kakaí kia Sione ʻo ne talaange ʻe lava ke fili e Kāingalotú he taimí ni. Naʻá ne talaange, “Tuku hoʻo kupuʻi ʻakaú ki laló. He ʻikai toe fie maʻu ia.”[11]

Naʻe toe puke maʻu ange ʻe Sione e pou ʻakaú. Naʻá ne fie hū ʻo fili, ka naʻá ne ʻilo ʻe fihia ʻo ka ʻalu ki he kiʻi falé ʻo feinga ke fili taʻe meʻatau. Ko ia ai, naʻá ne tafoki pea kamata ke ne lue ʻo mavahe.

Naʻe ui atu ha tangata ʻe taha, “Kuo pau ke mau puke pōpula koe.” Naʻá ne pehē ko e niʻihi ʻo e kau tangata naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sioné mahalo te nau mate.

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Sione, “Ko ha tangata tauhi lao au, ka ʻoku ʻikai ke u taumuʻa ke hopoʻi au ʻe ha kau fakatanga.” Naʻá ne heka ki heʻene hōsí peá ne mavahe mei he koló.[12]

ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻe heka atu ʻa Sione ki Hihifo Mamaʻo ʻo talaange kia Siosefa e fuhú. Naʻe mafola vave ‘a e ngaahi lipooti ʻo e mate ʻi Kelatiní ʻo aʻu ki he fakatokelau ʻo Mīsulí, pea naʻe teuteu ʻa e kau fakatangá ke ʻohofi ʻa e Kāingalotú. ‘I heʻene manavasiʻi naʻa fakataumuʻa e sāuní kia Sioné, naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe Siosefa pe kuó ne fetukutuku mo hono fāmilí ki tuʻa mei he Vahefonua Teivisí.

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Sione, “ʻIkai.”

“Peʻi ʻalu leva ʻo fetukutuku kinautolu he vave tahá pea ʻoua naʻa mou toe mohe ha pō ʻe taha ai,” ko e talaange ia ʻe Siosefá.

Ka naʻe tali ange ʻe Sione, “ʻOku ʻikai ko ha tangata foʻi au.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa, “ʻAlu ʻo fai e meʻa ʻoku ou talaatú.”[13]

Ne foki vave leva ʻa Sione ki ʻapi, pea heka ʻa Siosefa mo ha kulupu fakakautau ne nau ngāue tokoni ke maluʻi e Kāingalotu ʻi he Vahefonua Teivisí. ʻI heʻenau tūʻuta ki ʻĀtama-ʻonitai-ʻĀmaní, ne nau ʻilo ai ne ʻikai ha taha he ongo tafaʻakí fakatouʻosi ne mate ʻi he fuhu ʻi Kelatiní. Naʻe fiemālie heni ʻa Siosefa pea ne nau nofo ʻi he pō ko iá mo ʻene kau tangatá ʻia Laimani Uaiti.

ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, ne heka atu ʻa Laimani mo ha Kāingalotu kuo ʻosi fakamahafu ki he ʻapi ʻo ʻĀtama Pelekí, ʻa e fakamaau fakalotofonuá. Ne ʻi ai ha talanoa ne sasala ʻo pehē ʻoku fakatahatahaʻi ʻe ʻĀtama ha kau fakatanga ke nau haʻu ki he Kāingalotú. Naʻe fie maʻu ʻe Laimani ia ke ne fakamoʻoni ki ha fakamatala ʻoku pehē ai te ne fakapapauʻi ʻe fakamaau totonu ki he Kāingalotu ʻo e Vahefonua Teivisí, ka naʻe ʻikai tali ia ʻe ʻĀtama.

Kimui ange ʻi he ʻaho ko iá, ne toe foki atu ʻa Siosefa mo ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko teau nai ki he fale ʻo ʻĀtamá. Naʻe ʻave ʻe Samisoni ʻĀvati, ko ha taki ʻo e kau Teinaiti ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó, ha toko tolu ʻo ʻene kau tangatá ki he falé ʻo feinga ke fakamālohiʻi ʻa e fakamāú ke ne fakamoʻoni hingoa ki he fakamatalá. Naʻe toe taʻeloto ki ai ʻa ʻĀtama, peá ne tuʻutuʻuni ke sio kia Siosefa. Ne kau atu leva ʻa e palōfitá ki he ngaahi aleá pea fakahoko ia ʻi he melino, ʻo ne tali ke tohi pē ʻe he fakamāú e fakamatalá peá ne fakamoʻoni hingoa ki ai.[14]

Ka naʻe ʻikai fuoloa ʻa e nofo melinó. Hili pē ʻa e fakatahá, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe ʻĀtama ke puke pōpula ʻa Siosefa mo Laimani ki hono ʻātakaiʻi hono falé mo ha kau tau kuo fakamahafu mo fakailifiaʻi ia. Naʻe fakaʻehiʻehi ʻa Siosefa mei hono puke pōpula iá, ʻaki ʻene kole ke fai e hopó ʻi hono vahefonua ko Kolotiuelá kae ʻikai ko Teivisi, ʻa ia naʻe tokolahi e kakai ai naʻa nau ʻita ki he Kāingalotú.[15]

Lolotonga iá, ne tokolahi ha kakai ʻi he fakatokelau ʻo Mīsulí naʻa nau ui ha ngaahi fakataha ke aleaʻi e ngaahi lipooti mei Kelatiní mo e fakaʻau ke tokolahi ange ‘a e Kāingalotu ne nofo mo kinautolú. Ne ʻi ai ha fanga kiʻi kulupu iiki ʻo e kau fakatangá naʻa nau maumauʻi e ngaahi ʻapi ʻo e kāingalotú mo e fale tauhiʻanga monumanú ʻi he Vahefonua Teivisí mo fakataumuʻa atu ki he Kāingalotu ne nofo ofi aí.[16]

Ke fakanonga e fekeʻikeʻí, na’e foki ‘a Siosefa ki he Vahefonua Teivisí ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo Sepitemá ke tali ki he ngaahi tukuakiʻi kiate iá. Lolotonga e hopó, ne pehē ai ʻe ʻĀtama naʻe ʻikai fakamālohiʻi ia ʻe Siosefa ke ne fakamoʻoni hingoa ʻi he fakamatalá. Ka neongo iá, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he fakamāú ke toe foki mai ʻa e palōfitá hili ha māhina ʻe ua ke hopoʻi.[17]

Naʻe ʻi ai ha niʻihi ʻi he puleʻanga Mīsulí ne nau kau mo e Kāingalotú, pea naʻe vave pē hono fakatahatahaʻi mai e kau sōtia ʻa e siteití ke fakamoveteveteʻi e ngaahi kulupu taʻefakalaó. Ka naʻe kei tuʻu maʻu pē ʻa e kakai ʻi loto pea takatakai ʻi he Vahefonua Teivisí ke nau tuli ʻa e Kāingalotú mei honau ngaahi kauʻāfonuá.

Naʻe tohi ʻa Siosefa ki ha hano kaungāmeʻa ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai mohe ʻa e kau fakatanga ʻo e Kāingalotú ʻi Mīsulí.”[18]

ʻI he ʻaho fakaʻosi ʻo ʻAokosí, ne heka atu ai ʻa Fīpē mo Uilifooti Utalafi ʻi ha matātahi ʻoneʻone maʻa ʻo ofi pē ki he fale ʻo ʻene ongomātuʻá ʻi Meini. Naʻe mamaha e tahí. Ne ngalu mai e ngaahi peau ʻo e Tahi ‘Atalanitikí ʻo fasi ʻi he matāʻutoʻutá. ʻI he mamaʻó, ofi pē ki he tafaʻaki langí, naʻe fefolauʻaki fakalongolongo pē ʻa e ʻū vaká, ʻo vilingia honau ngaahi laá ʻi he havilivilí. Ne takatakai ha fanga manupuna ʻi ʻolunga pea nau ʻalu hifo ki he fukahi tahí.

Naʻe taʻofi ʻe Fīpē ʻene hōsí peá ne hifo ʻo tānaki e ʻū ngeʻesi fingota naʻe mofele ʻi he ʻoneʻoné. Naʻá ne fie tauhi ia ko ha fakamanatu ʻi he taimi te ne hiki ai mo Uilifooti ki Saione ʻi he hihifó. Naʻe tupu hake ʻa Fīpē ʻo ofi ki tahí he lahi taha ʻo ʻene moʻuí, pea naʻe kau ʻa e ngeʻesi fingotá ʻi he ngaahi teuteu ʻo e ʻapí.[19]

Talu mei hono ui ia ki he Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ne vekeveke ʻa Uilifooti ke fai mo aʻu ki Mīsuli. ʻI heʻene ʻaʻahi fakamuimui taha ki he ʻOtu Motu Fōkasí, naʻe feʻunga pē hono taimi aí ke fakalotoʻi e kiʻi kulupu tokosiʻi ʻo e Kāingalotú ke nau ʻalu fakataha mo ia mo Fīpē ki Saione. Naʻá ne foki lotomamahi ki he fonua lahí. Ne tali ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo e kāingalotu he kiʻi koló ke ʻalu mo kinaua. Ko e niʻihi kehé—kau ai ʻa Sasitasi mo Petisī ʻEamesi, naʻe fuofua papitaiso ʻi he ʻotu motú—naʻa nau nofo pē.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Uilifooti, “Te nau toki sio ki he fakavalevale ʻo ʻenau filí ka kuo tōmui.”[20]

Ka naʻe ʻikai foki ke fuʻu vekeveke mo Fīpē ke ne mavahe. Naʻá ne saiʻia ʻaupito ke toe nofo mo ʻene ongomātuʻá. Naʻe nonga, māfana, pea angamaheni mo honau ʻapí. Kapau ʻe nofo ʻi Meini, he ʻikai te teitei mamaʻo mei hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá mo e fāmilí.[21] Ka ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, naʻe maile ʻe tahaafe nimangeau e mamaʻo ʻo Mīsulí. Kapau te ne mavahe, mahalo he ʻikai ke ne toe sio ki hono fāmilí. Naʻá ne mateuteu nai ke fai ha feilaulau pehē?

Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Fīpē ʻene ngaahi ongó kia Uilifooti. Naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻene ngaahi hohaʻa fekauʻaki mo e tuku hono fāmilí, ka naʻe ʻikai ke na tatau ʻi he ongo fekauʻaki mo ʻapí. Naʻá na ʻilo fakatouʻosi, ko Saioné ko ha feituʻu ʻo e malu pea mo e maluʻi.

Naʻá ne tohi ʻi heʻene tohinoá ʻo pehē, “Te u ʻalu ki he fonua ko Saioné pe ko ha feituʻu pē ʻe fekauʻi mai ʻe he ʻOtuá, ʻo aʻu ki hano liʻaki ha ngaahi tamai, faʻē, tokoua, mo e tuofāfine ʻe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Meini mo Mīsulí—mo maʻu meʻatokoni pē mei hono fakalili ʻo e lauʻiʻakau ʻi he halá.”[22]

Naʻe tatali ʻa Fīpē mo Uilifooti ʻi Sepitema, ki he kiʻi kolo ʻi he ʻOtu Motu Fōkasí ke nau haʻu ki he fonua lahí mo kamata ʻenau fononga ki he hihifó. Ka ʻi he fakalau ʻa e ʻahó pea ʻikai ʻasi mai ha taha ʻo e kāingalotu ʻi he kiʻi koló, ne kamata ke hohaʻa ʻa Uilifooti. Naʻe ofi e fakaʻosinga ʻo e taʻú. Ko e lōloa ange ʻenau talí, ko e lahi ange ia haʻanau fehangahangai mo e kovi ʻa e ʻeá.

Ne toe ʻi ai mo ha ngaahi tūkunga kehe ne momou ai ʻa Fīpē ke mavahe. Ne tale lahi ʻaupito ʻena tamá, ʻa Sela ʻEma, pea naʻe fifili ʻa Fīpē pe naʻe fakapotopoto nai ke ʻave ia ʻi ha fononga lōloa pehē he ʻea momokó.[23] Pea toe ʻasi mai mo e lipooti ne fakalahiʻi ʻo e fuhu he ʻaho filí ʻi he Vahefonua Teivisi ki mamaʻo atú, ʻi he nusipepa fakalotofonuá. Naʻe fakatupu hohaʻa ʻa e ongoongó ki he taha kotoa.

Naʻe talaange ʻe he ngaahi kaungāʻapí kia Fīpē mo Uilifooti, “ʻE ʻikai fakapotopoto ke ō ki ai. ʻE tāmateʻi kimoua.”[24]

Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, ne tūʻuta mai ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko nimangofulu nai mei he ʻOtu Motu Fōkasí, kuo nau mateuteu ke fononga ki Saione. Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Fīpē kuo taimi ke mavahe, pea ʻoku fie maʻu ke kau fakataha ʻa Uilifooti mo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻi Mīsuli. Ka naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻa e takiekina mālohi ʻo hono ʻapí mo e fāmilí. ʻE faingataʻa e hala ki Mīsulí, pea naʻe kei fakaakeake e moʻui ʻa Sela ʻEmá. Pea naʻe ʻikai fakapapauʻi pe te nau malu mei he kau fakatangá ʻi heʻenau tūʻuta atu ki honau ʻapi foʻoú.

Ka naʻe kei tui pē ʻa Fīpē ki he tānaki fakatahá. Kuó ne tuku kimuʻa hono ʻapí kae muimui ki he ʻEikí, pea ʻokú ne loto fiemālie ke toe fai ia. ʻI he taimi naʻá ne lea fakamāvae ai ki heʻene ongomātuʻá, naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻo hangē ko Lute ʻi he Fuakava Motuʻá, ʻi heʻene tuku hono ʻapí mo hono fāmilí koeʻuhi ko ʻene tuí.

Neongo naʻe faingataʻa ke ne mavahe, naʻe tuku ʻene falalá ʻi he ʻOtuá pea naʻá ne kaka hake ki he salioté.[25]

ʻI he konga kimui ʻo Sepitemá, ne tūʻuta mai ʻa e taʻu uofulu mā taha ko Sālesi Heilí mo ha kulupu ʻo ha kau Kānata ʻi Ti Uiti, Mīsuli. Naʻá ne mavahe mei Tolonitō, ko ha taha ʻo e lau afe ne nau tali e ui ke tānaki fakataha ki Saioné, fakataha mo ʻene ongomātuʻá mo hono ngaahi tokouá mo e tuofāfiné he taʻu ko iá.

Naʻe ʻohofi ʻe he kau fakatangá ʻa e ngaahi kolotaú pea hola ai ʻa Sālesi mo e niʻihi kehé ʻo toi ʻi ha ngaahi fale ʻakau ofi ai.[30] Naʻe taʻofi ʻe he kau fakatangá ‘a e ngaahi hala ki Ti Uití, ʻo taʻofi ha meʻakai mo ha ngaahi naunau kehe mei he Kāingalotú.

Naʻá ne pehē, “Kuo pau ke nau tauʻi ia.” [33]

ʻI he fakatahataha mai ʻa e filí ʻi he meimei vahefonua ofi kotoa pē, pea ʻikai maʻu ʻe he Kāingalotú ha poupou falalaʻanga mei he kau sōtia ʻi he siteití, naʻe ʻilo ʻe Siosefa kuo pau ke fakangata ʻa e ʻākoló.

ʻI he pongipongi ʻaho 11  ʻo ʻOkatopá, naʻe fakahekeheka ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e ngaahi koloa te nau lava ʻo ʻavé ʻi ha ngaahi saliote pea nau fononga atu ʻi he manafá.[34] Naʻe fie ʻalu ʻa Sālesi mo kinautolu, ka naʻe ʻi ai ha taha ʻo e Kāingalotu Kānatá, ne teʻeki ai mateuteu ke ne mavahe, peá ne kole ange ke nofo ʻo tokoni ange kiate ia. Naʻe tali lelei ʻe Sālesi, ʻo ne pehē ʻe vave pē ʻena maʻu atu e toenga ʻo e Kāingalotú.

Kae hili e faifai peá na hola mei he koló, ne toe tafoki hono kaungāmeʻá ʻi he tangi mai ʻene hōsí.

ʻI he ʻaho 15  ʻo ʻOkatopá, hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei he tūʻuta mai ʻa e Kāingalotu Ti Uití ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó, naʻe ui ʻe Siosefa ke fakataha mai ʻa e tangata kotoa pē ʻi he koló. Ne laungeau e Kāingalotu ne nau omi ki Hihifo Mamaʻó, ʻi heʻenau hola mai mei he ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko ʻi he fakatokelau ʻo Mīsulí.

Kuo momoko ʻa e ʻeá pea naʻe feʻefiʻefihi ʻa e Kāingalotú pea fakamamahi.[36]

Ne ʻilo ʻe Siosefa ʻe vave pē ha fakalalahi ʻa e tūkungá ʻo ʻikai toe lava ʻo mapuleʻi.

Vahe 30

Tau hangē ko e Kau ʻĀngeló

Naʻe momoko lelei mo fakalata ʻa e hoʻatā ko hono 30 ʻo  ʻOkatopa, 1838, ʻi he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní, ko ha kolo siʻisiʻi ʻi he Vahefonua Kolotiuelá. Naʻe vaʻinga e fānaú ʻi he matāfanga ʻo e Vaitafe Soalá ʻi ha ʻaho naʻe tafitonga e langí. Naʻe fō ʻa e kau fefiné ʻi he vaitafé mo teuteu e meʻatokoní. Naʻe ʻi he ngoueʻangá ha kau tangata ʻe niʻihi ke utu mai ha ngoue ki he faʻahitaʻu momokó, kae ngāue ha niʻihi ʻi he fahiʻanga papa ʻi he veʻe vaitafé.[1]

Naʻe tangutu pē ʻa ʻAmanitā Sāmita ʻi ha loto tēniti kae vaʻinga holo pē ʻene ongo tama fefine ko ʻAlavila mo ʻOatenisiá. Naʻe ʻi he fale tuki ukameá hono husepāniti ko Uālení mo hona ngaahi foha iiki ʻe toko tolu ko Uiliate, Satiasi mo ʻAlamaá.[2]

Naʻe lolotonga fononga ʻa e fāmili Sāmitá ka naʻa nau fou mai pē ʻi he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní. Naʻa nau kau ki he kulupu ʻo e Kāingalotu masiva ne nau mavahe mei Ketilani ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo e faʻahitaʻu māfaná. Naʻe hoko ha ngaahi palopalema ʻo iku toloi ai e fononga ʻa e fāmilí, pea naʻe pau ai ke nau māvahevahe mo e niʻihi kehé. Ko e tokolahi ʻo e kulupú ne nau ʻosi tūʻuta ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻo, pea naʻe vekeveke ʻa ʻAmanitā mo Uāleni ke hoko atu ʻenau fonongá.[3]

Lolotonga e mālōlō ʻa ʻAmanitā ʻi he tēnití, naʻá ne sio ki ha meʻa ʻoku taʻili ʻi tuʻa pea naʻá ne tuʻu maʻu. Naʻe holo mai ki he nofoʻangá ha kau tangata ne nau ʻosi fakamahafu pea naʻe vali ʻuliʻuli honau matá.[4]

Naʻe loto-hohaʻa ʻa ʻAmanitā ki he ʻoho ʻa e kau fakatangá, ʻo hangē pē ko e Kāingalotu kehe ʻi he feituʻu ko iá. Kimuʻa pea nau tuʻu ʻi he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní, naʻe taʻofi ʻenau kulupu tokosiʻí ʻe ha kau tangata ne nau ʻohofi ʻenau ʻū salioté, faʻao ʻenau meʻataú pea leʻohi kinautolu ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe tolu kimuʻa pea toki tukuange kinautolu.[5]

ʻI he taimi ne tūʻuta ai ʻene kulupú ʻi he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní, naʻe fakapapauʻi ange ʻe he kau taki fakalotofonuá naʻe malu pē ʻa e nofoʻangá. Naʻe fai ʻe Tēvita ʻĒvani, ko e taki ʻo e Kāingalotu ne ʻi aí, ha aleapau mo honau kaungāʻapí, ʻa ia ne nau pehē naʻa nau fie nofo melino pē mo e Kāingalotú. Ka ke tokateu pē ki ha tuʻutāmakí, naʻá ne fokotuʻu ai ha kau leʻo takatakai ʻi he nofoʻangá.

Ko ʻeni naʻe hoko mai ha fakatamaki ki he Kāingalotu ʻi he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní. Naʻe fua fakavave ʻe ʻAmanitā ʻene ongo tama fefiné, peá ne lele ki he vao ʻakau ʻi he veʻe vaí. Naʻá ne fanongo ki he longoaʻa ʻa e tau faná ʻi mui ʻiate iá, mo ha fatunga mahafu naʻe tatili ofi hake hono tafaʻakí mo e niʻihi kehe ne nau hola ki he ʻuluʻakaú.[6]

Naʻe ʻi he fale tuki ukameá ʻa Tēvita, naʻá ne taʻalo ʻaki hono tataá mo kalanga mai ke tuku e faná. Naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai e kau fakatangá pea ne nau hoko atu pē ʻenau fana ʻa e Kāingalotu ne feholakí.[7]

Naʻe pikitai pē ʻa ʻAmanitā ki heʻene ongo tama fefiné mo lele hifo ki ha teleʻa fāsiʻi, lolotonga iá ʻoku kei punakaki holo pē ʻa e ngaahi mahafú. ʻI heʻene aʻu ki laló, naʻá ne fakavave atu mo e ongo tamaikí ʻo kolosi ʻi ha laʻipapa naʻe hala fakakavakava ʻaki ʻi he funga anovaí pea kamata kaka hake ʻi ha tafungofunga ʻi he tafaʻaki e tahá.

Naʻá ne lele fakataha mo ha fefine ko Mele Sitetiuela, ʻa ia naʻá ne hiki hono ongo nimá ki he kau fakatangá ke kole ha fakamelino. Naʻe toe fana pē ʻa e kau fakatangá, pea naʻe hū ha foʻi mahafu ʻi hono nimá ʻo ʻasi ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá.

Naʻe kaila atu ʻa ʻAmanitā kia Mele ke toi ʻi ha fuʻu ʻakau kuo holo. Naʻá ne lele mo ʻene ongo tama fefiné ʻo mamaʻo atu ki he loto vaó ʻo toitoi ʻi mui ʻi ha vao ʻakau ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e moʻungá.

Naʻe puke ʻe ʻAmanitā ʻene ongo tama fefiné ʻi heʻenau toi mei he kau fakatangá mo fakafanongo ki he ongo mai ʻa e faná mei he nofoʻangá.[8]

ʻI he kamata ʻa e faná, naʻe muimui ʻa e foha taʻu ono ʻa ʻAmanitā ko ʻAlamaá mo hono taʻokete ko Satiasí ʻi heʻena tamaí ki he loto fale tuki ukameá, ʻa ia naʻe tauhi ai ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e ʻū meʻafana siʻisiʻi ne nau maʻú. Naʻe feinga fakamātoato ha kau tangata ʻi loto ke tauʻi ʻa e kau fakatangá, ʻo nau fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e falekoloá ko honau kolotaú. Ko kinautolu ne ʻi ai ʻenau meʻafaná ne nau fana ʻa e kau fakatangá mei he ngaahi foʻi ava ʻi he holisi ʻakaú.

Naʻe totolo ʻa ʻAlamā mo Satiasi mo ha kiʻi tamasiʻi ʻe taha ʻi heʻenau ilifiá ki he lalo mīsini ʻi he falekoloa ukameá. Naʻe ʻātakaiʻi ʻe he kau fakatangá mei tuʻa ʻa e falekoloá mo nau ʻunuʻunu pē ke ofi ange ki he Kāingalotú. Naʻe hū fakavave mai ha kau tangata ʻe niʻihi ki tuʻa ʻi he matapaá ʻo kaikaila fakamelino, ka naʻe hoko ʻa e fana taʻetuku mei he kau fakatangá ke tāmateʻi ai kinautolu.[9]

Naʻe toitoi malu pē ʻa ʻAlamā ʻi he lalo mīsiní lolotonga ia e fakaʻau ke leʻolahi mo mālohi ange ʻa e tau faná. Naʻe ʻunu mai ʻa e kau fakatangá ki he tuʻa falekoloá, ne nau mono ʻenau ʻū meʻafaná ʻi he ngaahi foʻi ava ʻi he holisí ʻo fana ki loto ki he kau tangata ne ofi maí. Naʻe tō taha taha pē ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he falikí kuo ʻilonga ha ngaahi foʻi fana ʻi honau fatafatá, umá mo e alangá.[10] Ne lava pē ke fanongo ʻa ʻAlamā ki he toʻe ʻa e kau tangatá ʻi heʻenau faingataʻaʻiá.

Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo ʻohofi ʻe he kau fakatangá ʻa e hūʻangá, ʻo nau fana ʻa e kau tangata ne nau feinga ke holá. Naʻe tau ha ngaahi foʻi mahafu ʻe tolu ʻi he kiʻi tamasiʻi ne toitoi ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo ʻAlamaá, pea naʻe ngāvaivai hono sinó. Naʻe sio ha tangata ʻe taha kia ʻAlamā peá ne fanaʻi ia, ʻo lavea lahi ai hono alangá.[11] Naʻe ʻiloʻi atu ʻe ha tangata ʻe taha ʻa Satiasi peá ne toho atu ia ki tuʻa. Naʻá ne fakahanga ʻene ngutuʻi meʻafaná ki he ʻulu ʻo e kiʻi tamasiʻi taʻu hongofulú peá ne kamosi ʻa e meʻa-kamosí, ʻo ne mate ai ʻi he taimi pē ko iá.[12]

Naʻe hanga kehe ha taha ʻo e kau fakatangá. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “Ko e malaʻia fakamā moʻoni hono tāmateʻi e tamaiki tangata ko ʻená.”

Naʻe tali ange ʻe ha tokotaha, “ʻOku tupu ʻa e kutú mei he lihá.”[13]

Naʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe he Kāingalotu ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ko ia ʻa e kōvaná ke fakaʻauha kinautolú, naʻa nau fakatetuʻa pē ʻe ʻomi ʻe Pōkesi ha tokoni kimuʻa pea ʻohofi ʻe he kau fakatangá honau koló. Ne nau ongoʻi fiefia ʻi he taimi ne nau sio ai ki ha kau tau ʻo ha kau sōtia ʻe meimei toko uangeau ne nau laka mai ʻi he mamaʻó ʻi he ʻaho 30 ʻo  ʻOkatopá. Naʻa nau fakakaukau kuo ʻomi ʻe he kōvaná ʻa e kau sōtia fakafonuá ke maluʻi kinautolu.[14]

Ko e taki ʻi he kau taú ko Seniale ʻAlekisanitā Tonifeni, ʻa ia naʻá ne tokoniʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he kuohilí. Naʻe fokotuʻu laine taha ʻe Seniale Tonifeni ʻene kau sōtiá ʻo fehangahangai mo e kau tau ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻa ia ne nau tuʻu ʻi he tuʻa kolo pē ʻo Hihifo Mamaʻó, pea naʻe fusi ʻe he Kāingalotú ha fuka hinehina ʻo e aleapaú. Naʻe kei tatali ʻa e senialé ki ha tuʻutuʻuni mei he kōvaná, ka naʻe ʻikai ke haʻu ia mo ʻene kau taú ke maluʻi ʻa Hihifo Mamaʻo. Ne nau ʻi aí ke puleʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú.[15]

Neongo naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siaosi Hinikolo, ko e tokotaha Siasi naʻá ne puleʻi ʻa e konga tau ʻi he Vahefonua Kolotiuelá, naʻe tokolahi ange ʻa e kau tau ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he kau sōtia Mīsulí, ka naʻá ne ongoʻi taʻefiemālie ʻo ne fekauʻi ai ʻene kau sōtiá ke nau holomui. ʻI he holomui ʻa e kau tangatá, naʻe heka atu ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻene puputuʻu ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa Siaosí.

Naʻá ne kalanga, “Holomui?” “Ko e ʻai ke tau holomuí ki fē?” Naʻá ne talaange ki he kau tangatá ke nau toe foki ki honau tuʻuʻangá ʻo tuʻu laine.[16]

Naʻe haʻu ʻa e kau talafekau mei he kau sōtia Mīsulí ki he Kāingalotú mo e tuʻutuʻuni ke fakapapauʻi ʻoku mavahe ʻa ʻĀtama Laitina mo hono fāmilí mei he koló. Naʻe ʻikai ke kau ʻa ʻĀtama ki he siasí, ka naʻe mali ia mo ha fefine taʻu uofulu ko Mele Loulini, ko e finemui naʻá ne fakahaofi ha ʻū lauʻi peesi ʻo e Tohi ʻo e Ngaahi Fekaú mei ha kau fakatanga ʻi he ngaahi taʻu kimuʻá ʻi Tauʻatāina.

Naʻe ui ʻa ʻĀtama mo Mele ke na haʻu ki Hihifo Mamaʻo fakataha mo e tuofefine ʻo ʻĀtama ko Litiá mo hono husepāniti ko Sione Kelemenisoní. ʻI heʻenau ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he kau sōtiá, naʻe tafoki hake ʻa Mele kia Litia ʻo ne fehuʻi ange pe ko e hā ʻokú ne fakakaukau ʻoku totonu ke nau faí.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Litia, “Te tau fai ʻa ia ʻokú ke pehē ke tau faí.”

Naʻe ʻeke ʻe Mele ki he kau talafekaú pe ʻe lava ʻa e kakai fefine mo e fānau ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó ʻo mavahe kimuʻa he taú.

Ne nau tali ange, “ʻIkai.”

“Te mou tuku nai e fāmili ʻeku faʻeé ke nau ʻalu?” Ko e fehuʻi ange ia ʻa Melé.

Naʻe fakamahino ange kiate ia, “Ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e kōvaná he ʻikai ha toe taha kehe ʻe mavahe ka ko koe pē mo hoʻo ongo fāmilí.”[17]

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Mele, “Kapau ko ia, he ʻikai ke u ʻalu au. Ko e feituʻu pē te nau mate aí, te u mate ai, he ko ha Māmonga totonu au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke u mā ai.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe he kau talafekaú, “Fakakaukau ki hoʻo husepānití mo ho tamá.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe Mele, “Kapau ʻoku fie ʻalu ia pea ʻalu ia mo ʻema tamá, ka te u nofo au mo e toengá.”[18]

ʻI he mavahe ʻa e kau talafekaú, naʻe haʻu ʻa Siosefa kiate kinautolu ʻo pehē ange, “Mou ō ʻo tala ki he kau tau koeé ko e miniti pē ʻe nima mei heni te nau holomui ka ʻikai te nau fepaki mo heli!”[19]

Naʻe foki ʻa e kau tangatá ki heʻenau kau taú, pea ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai naʻe holomui ʻa e kau sōtia Mīsulí ki honau ʻapitangá.[20] ʻI he konga kimui ʻo e ʻaho ko iá, naʻe tūʻuta mai ha kau sōtia ʻe toko taha afe valungeau ʻi he malumalu ʻo Seniale Samuela Lūkasí, ʻa ia naʻá ne tataki hono tuli ʻa e Kāingalotú mei he Vahefonua Siakisoní ʻi he taʻu ʻe nima kuohilí.[21]

Naʻe ʻikai laka hake ʻi he toko tolungeaú ʻa e Kāingalotu ne ʻosi fakamahafu ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó, ka naʻa nau fakapapau ke maluʻi honau fāmilí mo e ngaahi ʻapí. Naʻe fakatahatahaʻi ʻe he palōfitá ʻa e kau tau ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he loto koló pea talaange kiate kinautolu ke nau teuteu ke tau.[22]

Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa, “Tau hangē ko e kau ʻāngeló.” Naʻá ne tui kapau ʻe ʻohofi kinautolu ʻe he kau sōtia Mīsulí, ʻe tuku mai ʻe he ʻEikí ki he Kāingalotú ha ʻāngelo ʻe toko ua ki he tangata kotoa pē ne nau nounou ʻakí.[23]

Ka naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa e palōfitá ke hoko atu ʻa e fakalotomamahí. ʻI he pō ko iá, naʻe fokotuʻuna ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e meʻa pē ne nau maʻú, ʻo faʻu ʻaki ha ʻā naʻe mafao atu hono lōloá ʻi ha maile ʻe taha mo e konga ʻi he ngataʻanga fakahahake, fakatonga mo fakahihifo ʻo e koló. Lolotonga hono monomono ʻe he kakai tangatá ʻa e ʻaá ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e ʻū fale papá mo e salioté, naʻe tānaki ʻe he kakai fefiné ha ʻū nāunau ko e teuaki ki ha tau.

Naʻe leʻo pō kakato pē mo e kau leʻó.[24]

ʻI he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní, naʻe hū mai ʻa e tamasiʻi taʻu hongofulu mā taha ko Uiliate Sāmitá—ko e foha lahi taha ʻo ʻAmanitā Sāmitá—mei mui mei ha fuʻu ʻakau lahi naʻe ofi ki he kiʻi anovai ʻo ne totolo ki he loto fale tuki ukameá. ʻI he kamata pē hono ʻohofi kinautolú, naʻá ne feinga ke nofo mo ʻene tamaí mo e ngaahi tokouá, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo hū ʻi he fihí ki he loto falekoloá pea naʻá ne toi leva ʻi ha fokotuʻunga fefie. ʻI he mafola ʻa e kau fakatangá ʻo ʻiloʻi hono toiʻangá, naʻá ne hiki mei he fale ki he fale, ʻo kalofi e ngaahi foʻi mahafú mo lele pē, kae ʻoua kuo mavahe ʻa e kau fakatangá mei he feituʻu ko iá.

ʻI he fale tuki ukameá, naʻe ʻiloʻi ai ʻe Uiliate ʻa e sino ʻo ʻene tamaí ne siʻi mapelu pē ʻi he veʻe matapaá. Naʻá ne sio ki he sino ʻo hono tehina ko Satiasí, ʻa ia naʻe havehave hono ʻulú ʻi hono fanaʻí. Naʻe fokotuʻu mo e ngaahi sino kehe—ʻa ia naʻe lahi ange ʻi he toko hongofulu tupú—ʻi he faliki ʻo e loto fale tuki ukameá. Naʻe fakasio ʻe Uiliate ʻo maʻu ʻa hono tehina ko ʻAlamaá. Naʻe siʻi tokoto pē ʻa e kiʻi tamasiʻí ʻi he kelekelé ʻo ʻikai ke ne toe ngaue, ka naʻá ne kei mānava pē. Naʻe toto ʻatā hono talausesé ʻi he konga ko ia ne fanaʻí.[25]

Naʻe fua ʻe Uiliate ʻa ʻAlamā ki tuʻa. Naʻá ne sio ki heʻenau faʻeé ʻoku hū mai mei he loto vao ʻakaú. “Kuo nau tāmateʻi siʻeku ʻAlamaá!” Ko e fakafoa ia ʻa ʻAmanitā ʻi he taimi naʻá ne sio ai kiate kinauá.

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Uiliate, “ʻIkai, Fineʻeiki, ka kuo mate ʻa e Tangataʻeikí mo Satiasi.”

Naʻá ne fua hono tehiná ki honau ʻapitangá ʻo ne fakatokoto fakalelei ia ki lalo. Naʻe hakule ʻe he kau fakatangá ʻa e tēnití, ʻo nau hae ʻa e ʻū fakamoluú pea veteki ʻa e mohuku mōmoá. Naʻe fakatokaleleiʻi ʻe ʻAmanitā ʻa e mohukú ki he lelei taha te ne lavá peá ne ʻufiʻufiʻi ia ʻaki ʻa e vala ke ʻai ha mohenga maʻa ʻAlamā. Naʻá ne kosi leva hono talausesé ke sio ki he laveá.[26]

Naʻe mamahi mo fakalilifu ʻa e mataʻi kafó. Ne taʻeʻaonga ʻaupito ʻa e hokotanga hui ʻi he alangá. Ne ʻikai teitei ʻilo ʻe ʻAmanitā ha founga ke tokoniʻi ai ia.

Mahalo ʻe lava ke ne fekau ʻa Uiliate ke ʻalu ʻo kumi tokoni, ka ʻe ʻalú nai ki fē? Naʻe lava pē ke fanongo ʻa ʻAmanitā ki he toʻe ʻa e niʻihi naʻe kafó mo e tangi ʻa e Kāingalotu ne mole honau husepānití, tamaí, fohá mo e tokouá. Ko e tokotaha kotoa pē ne mei lava ke tokoni ange kiate ia naʻá ne ʻosi tokangaʻi ʻe ia ha taha kehe pe ne lolotonga tengihia ia. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe pau ke ne falala ki he ʻOtuá.[27]

ʻI he ake hake ʻa ʻAlamaá, naʻe ʻeke ange ʻe ʻAmanitā pe ʻokú ne pehē ʻe hanga ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo ngaohi maʻana ha alanga foʻou. Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAlamā ʻokú ne tui ki ai ʻo kapau ko ʻene fakakaukaú ia.

Naʻe tānaki ʻe ʻAmanitā ʻene fānau ʻe toko tolú ʻo nau haʻohaʻo mai kia ʻAlamā. Naʻá ne lotu ʻo pehē, “ʻA ʻeku Tamai Hēvani, ʻokú ke ʻafio mai ki heʻeku tamá kuo lavea mo ke ʻafioʻi ʻa ʻeku taʻepotó. ʻA ʻeku Tamai Hēvani, fakahinohinoʻi muʻa au ʻi he meʻa ke u faí.”[28]

Naʻá ne fakaʻosi ʻene lotú pea naʻá ne fanongo ki ha leʻo ne fakahinohinoʻi ia. Naʻe kei ulo pē ʻa e afi ʻa e fāmilí ʻi tuʻa pea naʻá ne fakavavevave leva ʻo fio fakataha hono efuefú ʻaki e vai ke maʻu ha lahe.

Naʻá ne fekau leva kia Uiliate ke ʻalu ʻo taʻaki mai ʻa e aka ʻo e ʻakau ko e ʻelemí (elm tree). ʻI heʻene foki maí, ne tuki ʻe ʻAmanitā ʻa e aká ʻo ne faʻo ʻa e penú ki ha konga tupenu. Naʻá ne hilifaki ʻa e tupenú ʻi he mataʻilavea ʻa ʻAlamaá peá ne haʻi ʻaki ia ha tupenu līneni.

Naʻá ne talaange leva ki hono fohá, “Tokoto pehē ai pē ʻo ʻoua te ke toe ngaué, kae hanga ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo ngaohi haʻo alanga foʻou.”[29]

ʻI he ʻiloʻi pē ʻe ʻAmanitā kuo mohe [ʻa ʻAlamā] pea naʻe malu ʻa e toenga ʻo e fānaú ʻi he tēnití, naʻá ne hū leva ki tuʻa ʻo tangi.[30]

ʻE ʻOsi Fēfē Nai ʻEni?

Naʻe manavahē ʻa Litia Naiti telia naʻa ʻoku ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻoku hoko ʻi heʻene fanongo ki he kaikaila longoaʻa mei he ʻapitanga ʻi Mīsulí. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe ʻalu ʻa e palōfita ki ai ke fai ha alea melino. Ka ko e longoaʻa naʻá ne fanongo ki aí ne ongo mai ia ʻo hangē ha takanga ulofi ʻoku nau fiekaia ki ha meʻa ke kaí.

ʻI he tailiili ʻa Litiá naʻá ne sio fakamamaʻu ai ki tuʻa he luvá, naʻá ne sio ki hono husepānití ʻokú ne lele mai ki fale. Naʻe talaange ʻe Niueli, “Fai haʻo lotu ʻo hangē kuo teʻeki ke ke fai pehē kimuʻá.” Naʻe puke pōpula ʻe he kau sōtiá ʻa e palōfitá.

Naʻe ongoʻi vaivai ʻa Litia. ʻI he pō kimuʻá, naʻe tukituki mai ha ongo sōtia tutuku he matapaá, ʻa ia naʻá na kau ʻi he fetauʻaki ʻi he Vaitafe Pikopikó, ko ʻena fekumi ki ha feituʻu ke na toitoi ai. Naʻe fakapapau ʻe he kau sōtia Mīsulí ke tauteaʻi ʻa e Kāingalotu ne nau kau ʻi he taú, ko ia ʻe hoko hono tokoniʻi e ongo tangatá ke tuʻu ai hono fāmilí ʻi ha tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo fakasītuʻaʻi kinaua pea naʻá ne fūfuuʻi ai kinaua ʻi hono ʻapí.

Naʻá ne fifili leva he taimí ni pe ʻoku malu feʻunga nai ʻa e ongo tangatá. ʻE pau ke toe ʻalu ʻa Niueli ʻi he pō ko iá ki hono fatongia leʻó. Kapau ʻe hū mai e kau sōtiá ki he koló lolotonga e mavahe [ʻa Niuelí] ʻo nau maʻu ʻa e ongo tangatá ʻokú na toitoi ʻi hono ʻapí, te nau tamateʻi kinaua. Pea ko e hā nai ha meʻa te nau fai kiate ia mo e fānaú?

ʻI he ʻamanaki ke mavahe ʻa Niueli ʻi he pō ko iá, naʻá ne fakatokanga ange kia [Litia] ke ne tokanga. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻOua te ke hū ki tuʻa. ʻOku takai holo ʻa e kau kaihaʻá.”

ʻI he taimi pē naʻe mavahe ai ʻa Niuelí, naʻe kamata ke lotu ʻa Litia. ʻI he taimi naʻá ne haʻu ai mo Niueli mei he hihifó hili hono fakatapui e temipalé, naʻe ʻi ai hona ʻapi pea kuo ʻi ai ʻeni mo ʻena fānau ʻe toko ua. Naʻe fiemālie e moʻuí kimuʻa pea toki kamata e ʻoho ʻa e kau fakatangá. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne loto ke veuki e meʻa kotoa.

Naʻá ne kei lava pē ʻo fanongo ki he kaikaila ʻa e kakai Mīsulí mei he mamaʻó. Naʻe hoko ʻa e longoaʻá ke taʻefiemālie ai hono kakanó, ka naʻe tokoni ʻa e lotú ke ne maʻu ai ha nonga. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe pule ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he ngaahi langí. ʻE tatau ai pē pe ko e hā e meʻa ʻe hokó he ʻikai pē liliu ʻa e moʻoni ko iá.[1]

ʻI he pongipongi hokó, ko hono ʻaho 1 ʻo Nōvema, 1838, naʻe foki mai ai ʻa Niueli ki ʻapi ʻi ha kiʻi taimi nounou. Naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Siaosi Hinikolo ki he kau tau ʻa e Kāingalotú ke nau fakataha mai ki he loto koló. Naʻe tuʻu laine ʻa e kau sōtia Mīsulí ʻi tuʻa ʻi honau ʻapitangá ʻo mateuteu ke laka ki Hihifo Mamaʻo.

“ʻE ‘osi fēfē nai ʻeni?” Ko e fehuʻi ange ia ʻa Litiá. “ʻOku kafo hoku lotó ʻi he tailiili ʻi he manavaheé, ka ʻoku kei fakahā mai pē ʻe he Laumālié ʻe lelei ʻa e meʻa kotoa.”

Naʻe pehē ʻe Niueli ʻi heʻene toʻo hake ʻene meʻafaná, “Ko e fakangofua pē ia ʻe he ʻOtuá. Nofo ā, pea ʻofa ke maluʻi koe ʻe he ʻOtuá.”[2]

Lolotonga e fakataha ʻa e kau tau ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he loto koló, naʻe taki mai ʻe Seniale Lūkasi ʻene kau taú ki he toafa tokalelei ʻi he fakatonga-hahake ʻo Hihifo Mamaʻó pea tuʻutuʻuni ke nau tuʻu mateuteu ke taʻofi ha faʻahinga fakafepaki pē mei he Kāingalotú. ʻI he hoko ʻa e hongofulú ʻi he pongipongi ko iá, naʻe taki mai ʻe Siaosi ʻene kau taú mei he loto koló pea fokotuʻu kinautolu ʻo ofi ki he laine ʻo e kau sōtia Mīsulí. Naʻá ne ʻalu leva kia Seniale Lūkasi ʻo toʻo ʻa e heletaá mo e meʻafaná mei hono letá, peá ne ʻoange ia ki he senialé.[3]

Naʻe ʻomi ʻe he kau Mīsulí ha tesi faitohi ʻo fokotuʻu ia ʻi muʻa honau lainé. Naʻe foki ʻa Siaosi ki heʻene kau tangatá ʻo tuʻutuʻuni ki he Kāingalotú ke nau ʻalu tahataha ki he tesí ʻo tukulolo ʻenau meʻataú ki ha ongo sōtia kalake Mīsuli.[4]

Koeʻuhí naʻe takatakaiʻi kinautolu pea ne nau fuʻu tokosiʻi ʻaupito, naʻe ʻikai ai ha toe fili ʻa Niueli mo e Kāingalotú ka ke talangofua pē. ʻI he aʻu ki he taimi ke tukulolo ai e meʻafana ʻa Niuelí, naʻá ne lue atu ki he tesí ʻo ne sio fakamamaʻu kia Seniale Lūkasi. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “Tangataʻeiki, ko ʻeku meʻafaná ko e koloa fakataautaha pē ia ʻaʻaku. ʻOku ʻikai ha totonu ʻa ha taha ke ne faʻao ia meiate au.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he senialé, “Tuku ki lalo hoʻo meʻataú ka ʻikai te u fekau ke fanaʻi koe.”

Naʻe loto-ʻita pē ʻa Niueli mo tukuange ʻene meʻafaná peá ne foki leva ki hono tuʻuʻangá.[5]

Hili hono huʻi e meʻatau ʻa e Kāingalotu kotoa pē, naʻe ʻikai leva ke lava ʻe he koló ʻo maluʻi kinautolu. Naʻe taki atu leva ʻe Seniale Lūkasi ʻa e kau tau ʻa e Kāingalotú ki Hihifo Mamaʻo ʻo tuku pōpula kinautolu ʻi he loto koló.

Naʻá ne tuʻutuʻuni leva ki heʻene kau taú ke nau faʻao ʻa e koló.[6]

Ne ʻikai mole ha taimi lahi ʻa e kau sōtia Mīsulí ke nau hae ʻa e ʻū falé mo e tēnití, ʻo hua ʻa e ʻū toloá mo e talamú ko e kumi ʻa e meʻataú mo e ngaahi koloa mahuʻingá.

Ko e niʻihi ne nau fanaʻi ʻa e fanga pulú, sipí mo e puaká pea tuku pē kinautolu ke nau mate ʻi he veʻehalá.[7]

ʻI he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Naití, naʻe mateuteu pē ʻa Litia ʻi he taimi naʻe fakaofi mai ai ha kau sōtia ʻe toko tolu ʻi he matapaá. Naʻe tuʻutuʻuni mai ha toko taha ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi ai ha kau tangata ʻi he falé?”

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Litia ʻi heʻene tuʻu ʻi he matapaá, “ʻOku mou lolotonga puke ʻemau kau tangatá.” Kapau te ne tuku ia ke hū mai ki loto, te ne maʻu ʻa e ongo tangata naʻe fufuuʻi [ʻe Litiá].

Naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe he sōtiá, “ʻOku ʻi ai haʻo meʻatau ʻi he falé?”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Litia, “Naʻe ʻalu pē hoku husepāniti ʻoʻoku mo ʻene meʻafaná.” Naʻe kamata ke tangi ʻa ʻene fānaú ʻi mui ʻiate ia, he naʻá na ilifia ʻi he sio ki he tangata foʻoú. Naʻe feinga ʻa Litia ke ne lotolahi, peá ne tafoki hake ki he tangatá. Naʻá ne kaila ange ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ki mamaʻo! ʻOku ʻikai ke ke sio mai ki he ilifia ʻeku fānau valevalé?”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe he tangatá, “Ka ʻoku ʻikai nai ha kau tangata pe meʻatau ʻi he falé?”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Litia, “Ne u ʻosi talaatu ʻoku puke pōpula hoku husepānití ʻi loto kolo, pea naʻe ʻalu pē ia mo ʻene meʻafaná.”

Naʻe ngungulu pē ʻa e tangatá mo ʻalu fakaʻita atu mo e niʻihi kehé.

Ne toe foki ʻa Litia ki hono falé. Naʻá ne tetetete, ka naʻe puli atu ʻa e kau sōtiá pea naʻe malu ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻi hono falé.[8]

Naʻe fanongo ʻa Hiipa Kimipolo ki ha leʻo angamaheni naʻe ui hono hingoá, lolotonga hono leʻohi ia mo e toenga ʻo e kau tau ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he loto koló. ʻI heʻene hanga haké, naʻá ne sio kia Uliami Makalelini, ko e ʻaposetolo mālōloó, ʻokú ne lue mai. Naʻe tui ʻe Uiliami ha tatā mo ha sote naʻe teuteuʻi ʻaki ha ngaahi foʻi tapafā lanu kulokula maama.[9]

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Uiliami, “ʻE Misa Hiipa, ko e hā leva hoʻo fakakaukau kia Siosefa Sāmita ko e palōfita kuo toó?” Naʻe ʻi ai ha kau sōtia ne nau ʻalu fakataha mo Uiliami. Kuo nau takai holo mei he fale ki he fale ʻo veuki faʻiteliha ʻa e koló.

Naʻe hoko atu ʻe Uiliami ʻo pehē, “Sio hifo kiate koe. Kuó ke masiva, kuo fakamālohiʻi mo kaihaʻasi ho fāmilí, pea ʻoku pehē pē mo e kau takimuʻa kehé. ʻOkú ke fiemālie pē kia Siosefa?”[10]

Ne ʻikai lava ke fakaʻikaiʻi ʻe Hiipa ʻa e fakamamahi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ne hoko ki he Kāingalotú. Naʻe puke pōpula ʻa Siosefa, pea naʻe taʻe-meʻatau mo ngaohikovia ʻa e Kāingalotú.

Ka naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Hiipa he ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo liʻaki ʻa Siosefa mo e Kāingalotú, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fai ʻe Uiliami, Tōmasi Maasi, mo ʻOasoni Haití.

Naʻe talaange ʻe Mōsese kia Laimani, “ʻOku ʻikai ke mau loto ke fakamamahiʻi pe tamateʻi koe. Kapau te ke fakamoʻoni ʻo fakafepakiʻi ia, te mau fakahaofi hoʻo moʻuí pea ʻoatu ha faʻahinga lakanga pē te ke fie maʻu.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Mōsese, “Ko ha tangata ngalikehe koe. ʻOku fai ʻa e fakamaauʻanga fakakautau ʻi he poó ni, te ke haʻu ki ai?”

“He ʻikai, tuku kehe ka toki fakamālohiʻi au.”[17]

Naʻe tekelele ʻe Mōsese ʻa Laimani ki he kau pōpula kehé, pea naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuo ui ʻe Seniale Lūkasi ke kamata ʻa e fakamaauʻangá.

Naʻe sio tāufehiʻa ʻa Laimani kiate ia. Naʻá ne pehē ange, “Fana ka ke malaʻia.”[19]

Hili iá, naʻá ne ʻave ha pōpoaki kia Seniale Lūkasi. “Ko e fakapoongi taʻe ʻuhinga ʻena. He ʻikai te u talangofua ki hoʻo tuʻutuʻuní,” ko ʻene fakamatalá ange ia. “Ka ke ka fakapoongi ʻa e kau tangata ko ʻená, te u fakahalaʻi koe ʻi ha fakamaauʻanga, ko ia ke ke afeitaulalo mai ʻe ʻOtua!”[22]

Hangē pē ko ia ne palōmesi ange ʻe Seniale Tonifení, naʻá ne puli mo ʻene kau taú ʻi he pongipongi hono hokó. Naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe Seniale Lūkasi ki heʻene kau tangatá ke nau fakafeʻao ʻa Siosefa mo e kau pōpula kehé ki heʻene ʻuluʻi ʻōfisi ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní, kae ʻoua ʻe fakapoongi kinautolu.[23]

Naʻe ʻātakaiʻi ʻa Siosefa ʻe ha kau leʻo kuo fakamahafu, naʻe taki atu ia ʻi he ngaahi hala ʻo Hihifo Mamaʻo kuo fakaʻauhá ke tānaki ʻene ngaʻotoʻotá mei hono ʻapí.

Ne hanga ʻe ha tangata leʻo ʻo tuhuʻi ʻene heletaá ki he kiʻi tamasiʻí. “ʻUnu ki mamaʻo ka ʻikai te u hokaʻi koe!”[25]

Naʻe laka ʻa e kau sōtiá ʻo taki ʻa e kau pōpulá ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e Kāingalotú pea tuʻutuʻuni ke nau kaka ki loto ki ha saliote naʻe fakafale. Naʻe ʻātakaiʻi ʻe he kau sōtiá ʻa e salioté, ʻo nau faʻu ha ʻā malu kuo fakamahafu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e Kāingalotú mo honau kau takí.[26]

Lolotonga e tatali ʻa Siosefa ke lele ʻa e salioté, naʻá ne fanongo ki ha leʻo angamaheni ne ongo leʻolahi mai mei he kakaí. Naʻe ui mai ʻa Lusi Sāmita, “Ko e faʻē au ʻa e palōfitá. ʻOku ʻikai nai ha tangata heni ke ne tokoniʻi au ʻi he fuʻu kakaí ni!”

Naʻe hanga ʻe he lā mamafa ʻo e salioté ʻo taʻofi ʻa e kau pōpulá mei heʻenau sio ki tuʻá, ka naʻe teke ʻe Hailame hono nimá ʻi he lalo ʻaofi ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo e salioté ʻo puke ʻa e nima ʻo ʻene faʻeé. Naʻe fekau ʻe he kau leʻó [ʻa Lusi] ke ne ʻunu ki mui, mo fakamanamana ke fanaʻi ia. Naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Hailame ʻa e homo e nima ʻo ʻene faʻeé, pea naʻe hangē naʻe kamata ke lele ʻa e salioté.

ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe fanongo ʻa Siosefa, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi mui ʻi he salioté, ki ha leʻo ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e laá. “ʻE Misa Sāmita, ʻoku ʻi heni hoʻo faʻeé mo hoʻo tuofefiné.”

Naʻe fakahū ʻe Siosefa hono nimá ʻi he lalo ʻaofí peá ne ongoʻi ʻa e nima ʻo ʻene faʻeé. Naʻá ne fanongo ki heʻene pehē, “ʻE Siosefa ʻoku ʻikai ke u lava ʻo tukuange ho nimá taʻe te u fanongo ki ho leʻó.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosefa, “Fineʻeiki, ʻofa ke tāpuakiʻi koe ʻe he ʻOtuá,” hili iá naʻe malele fakafokifā leva ʻa e salioté ʻo ʻalu.[27]

Ne fakafokifā pē naʻá ne fanongo ki he ngatata ʻa e sēiní ʻi he tuʻu hake ʻa Siosefa ki ʻolungá.

ʻI he ʻaho 12 ʻo Nōvema, 1838, naʻe ʻave ʻa Siosefa mo ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko onongofulu tupu ki he fale hopo Lisimoní ke fakapapauʻi pe ʻoku ʻi ai nai ha fakamoʻoni feʻunga ke fakamaauʻi kinautolu ki he lavakiʻi e fonuá, fakapō, tūfale, hae fale, mo e kaihaʻa. ʻE fili ʻe he fakamaau ko ʻOsitini Kingí pe ʻe fai nai ha hopo fakamaau ki he kau pōpulá.[30]

Naʻe feʻunga mo ha uike ʻe ua ʻa e hopo faituʻutuʻuní.

Naʻe ʻikai ha toe angaʻofa ʻa Seniale Sione Kalake, ʻa ia naʻá ne fetongi ʻa Seniale Lūkasi ʻi he pule ʻi he kau sōtia ʻa Mīsuli ʻi he Hihifo Mamaʻó, ki he Kāingalotú.[2] Naʻá ne tukuakiʻi ne nau hoko ko e kau fakamālohi mo talangataʻa ki he laó. Naʻá ne talaange, “Ko kimoutolu pē ne mou fakatupu e ngaahi faingataʻá ni ʻi hoʻomou fakafetaú mo e taʻefie moʻulaloa ki he laó.”

Koeʻuhí naʻe ofi ʻa e faʻahitaʻu momokó, naʻe loto-fiemālie ʻa Seniale Kalake ke nofo pē ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻo, kae ʻoua kuo aʻu ki he faʻahitaʻu failaú. Ka naʻá ne faleʻi ange ke nau mavahe ʻi he hili iá. Naʻá ne fakatokanga ange ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa mou toe fakatahataha mo ha kau pīsope mo e kau palesiteni, koeʻuhí ke ʻoua naʻa fakatupu ai ha lotokovi ʻa e kakaí pea mou iku ai ki he fakatamaki tatau ko ʻeni ʻoku lolotonga hoko kiate kimoutolú.”[3]

Naʻe toe kovi ange tūkunga ʻi he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní. ʻI he ʻaho hili e fakapō fakatokolahí, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he kau fakatangá ki he Kāingalotú ke nau mavahe mei he vahefonuá ka ʻikai ʻe tāmateʻi kinautolu. Naʻe fie mavahe ʻa ʻAmanitā Sāmita pea mo e niʻihi kehe ne hao moʻuí, ka naʻe kaihaʻasi ʻe he kau fakatangá e fanga hoosi, vala, meʻakai mo e nāunau kehe ne fie maʻu ke fai ʻaki e fononga lōloá. Ko e tokolahi ʻo e niʻihi naʻe kafó, hangē ko e foha ʻo ʻAmanitā ko ʻAlamaá, naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻi ha tūkunga lelei ke nau lava ʻo fononga mamaʻo.[4]

Naʻe fakahoko ʻe he kakai fefine ʻi he feituʻu ko iá ha ngaahi fakataha lotu, ʻo kole ki he ʻEikí ke fakamoʻui ʻa e niʻihi ne kafó. ʻI he ʻiloʻi ʻe he kau fakatangá fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fakataha ko ʻení, naʻa nau fakamanamanaʻi ke tāmateʻi kotoa e kakai ne ʻi he feituʻu ko iá ʻo kapau ʻe kei hoko atu ai pē ʻe he kakai fefiné ʻa ʻenau fakataha lotú.

Hili ha kiʻi taimi mei ai naʻe fetukutuku ʻe ʻAmanitā hono fāmilí mei honau tēnití ki ha kiʻi fale.[5] Lolotonga ʻene mamahi ʻi he fakapoongi hono husepānití mo hono fohá, naʻe ʻi ai mo haʻane fānau iiki ʻe toko fā naʻe fie maʻu ke ne tokangaʻi. Naʻá ne loto-hohaʻa ki heʻene nofo fuoloa ʻi he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní lolotonga e fakaakeake hono fohá. Ka ʻe tatau ai pē kapau ʻe mavahe mo ʻene fānaú, te nau ō nai ki fē?

Ko ha fehuʻi ia naʻe fai ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻi he feituʻu fakatokelau ʻo Mīsulí. Naʻa nau manavahē naʻa hanga ʻe he kau sōtiá ʻo fakahoko ʻa e tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e kōvaná ke fakaʻauha kinautolú ʻo kapau he ʻikai ke nau mavahe kimuʻa ʻi he faʻahitaʻu failaú. Ka koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai ha kau taki ke tataki kinautolu, naʻe ʻikai te nau ʻiloʻi pe te nau mavahe fēfē mei Mīsulí—pe ko e fē feituʻu te nau fakataha ki aí.[6]

ʻI he teuteu e Kāingalotú ke liʻaki ʻa Hihifo Mamaʻó, naʻe tokoto ʻa Fīpē Utalafi ʻi ha fale talifononga ʻi he feituʻu fakahihifo ʻo ʻOhaioó, naʻá ne puke ʻi he langa ʻulú mo e mofí. Naʻá ne fononga fakahihifo mo Uilifooti ʻi ha māhina ʻe ua mo e Kāingalotu ʻo e ʻOtu Motu Fōkasí, ʻo nau fai fononga ʻi he sinoú mo e ʻuhá ke aʻu ki Saione. Naʻe puke ha tokolahi ʻo e fānaú, ʻo kau ai ʻene tama fefine ko Sela ʻEmá.[7] Naʻe nofo ha ongo fāmili ʻe ua mei he kulupú he naʻe ʻikai ke nau toe lavaʻi ʻa e fononga ki Saione ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko ko iá.[8]

Kimuʻa pea nau kiʻi mālōlō ʻi he fale tali fonongá, naʻe mamahiʻia maʻu pē ʻa Fīpē ʻi he taimi ne tatupe ai ʻa e salioté ʻi he hala tokakoví.[9] Hili e meimei tuʻu ʻene mānavá ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe taʻofi leva ʻe Uilifooti ʻa e fonongá kae lava ke ne fakaakeake.

Naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Fīpē te ne mālōlō. Naʻe tāpuakiʻi ia ʻe Uilifooti mo faifeinga ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ke fakanonga siʻene mamahí, ka naʻe fakaʻau ke toe kovi ange ʻa e mofí. Naʻe faifai peá ne ui ʻa Uilifooti ki hono tafaʻakí, ʻo ne fakamoʻoni ki he ongoongolelei ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, peá ne tapou kiate ia ke ne maʻu ʻa e tuí lotolotonga e ngaahi faingataʻá. Naʻá ne mālōlō leva ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó, pea naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻa e mavahe ʻa hono laumālié meiate iá.[10]

Naʻá ne vakai hake ki hono siofi ʻe Uilifooti ʻa hono sino kuo maté. Naʻá ne mamata ki ha ongo ʻāngelo ʻokú na hū mai ki he lokí. Naʻe talaange ʻe he toko taha ʻoku ʻi ai haʻane fili ke fai. ʻE lava ke nau ō ke mālōlō ʻi he maama tataliʻanga ʻa e ngaahi laumālié pe ko ʻene toe moʻui pea kātekina ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻoku toka mei muʻá.

Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Fīpē kapau te ne nofo, he ʻikai faingofua ʻa e moʻuí. Naʻá ne toe fie foki nai ki heʻene moʻui fakamafasiá mo e kahaʻu taʻepaú? Naʻá ne mamata ki he fofonga ʻo Uilifooti mo Sela ʻEmá, pea naʻá ne ʻiloʻi leva ʻa e talí.

Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻIo, te u fai ia!”

ʻI he fai ʻe Fīpē ʻene filí, naʻe toe fakafoʻou e tui ʻa Uilifōtí. Naʻe tākai ʻe Uilifooti e ʻulu ʻo Fīpeé ʻaki ʻa e lolo kuo fakatapuí, hilifaki hono nimá ki hono ʻulú, peá ne valokiʻi e mālohi ʻo e maté. ʻI he hili pē ʻene fai iá naʻe toe mānava ʻa Fīpē. Naʻe ʻāʻā hake hono ongo matá ʻo ne sio ki he ongo ʻāngeló ʻokú na mavahe atu mei he lokí.[11]

ʻI Mīsulí, naʻe haʻohaʻo fakataha ʻa Siosefa, Hailame, mo e kau pōpula kehé ʻi he fale fakapōpula Lipetií, ʻo feinga ke nau māfana. Ko e konga lahi ʻo e loki pōpulá naʻe ʻi lolofonua ia, pea naʻe siʻisiʻi mo ngaʻungaʻu, naʻe holisi ʻaki ʻa e maka mo e papa naʻe fute ʻe fā hono matolú. Ne ʻi ai ha ongo luva iiki ofi ki he ʻaofí naʻe ulo mai ai ha meʻi maama, ka naʻe ʻikai ke tokoni ia ke mole atu ai e namu haʻahaʻa ʻo e lokí. Ne fokotuʻuna ha mohuku mōmoa likoliko ʻi he falikí ʻa ia ne hoko ia ko e mohenga ʻa e kau pōpulá, pea ko e taimi pē naʻe fuʻu fiekaia ai ʻa e kau tangatá ʻo kai ʻa e meʻakai palakū ne ʻoangé, naʻa nau faʻa lua koeʻuhí ko e meʻakaí.[12]

Naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻa ʻEma kia Siosefa ʻi he konga kimuʻa ʻo Tīsemá, ʻo ne fakamatala kiate ia kau ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó.[13] ʻI he fakafanongo ʻa Siosefa ki he ngaahi talanoa ʻo ʻenau faingataʻaʻiá, naʻe fakaʻau ke toe lahi ange ʻene ʻita kiate kinautolu ne nau lavakiʻi iá. Naʻá ne tala kae tohi ha tohi ki he Kāingalotú, ʻo ne fakamalaʻiaʻi ai ʻa e anga kākā ʻa e kau tangata ko ʻení mo poupouʻi e Kāingalotú ke nau loto-kītaki.

Naʻá ne fakapapau ange kiate kinautolu, “ʻE moʻui pē ʻa Saione, neongo ʻoku hangē ʻoku teitei maté. ʻE ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e ʻOtua ʻo e melinó ke tofa ha hala ke mou hola ai mei he fili ʻo homou ngaahi laumālié.”[14]

ʻI Fēpueli 1839, naʻe ʻaʻahi ai ʻa e uaifi ʻo Hailame ko Melé mo hono tokoua ko Mēsí ki he kau pōpulá mo e foha toki fāʻeleʻi ʻo Hailame ko Siosefa F. Sāmitá. Kuo teʻeki ke fesiofaki ʻa Mele mo Hailame talu mei Nōvema ʻi he teʻeki ke ne fāʻelé. Naʻe hoko ʻene fāʻelé pea mo hono maʻu ia ʻe he momokó ke fuʻu vaivai ai hono sinó ke fononga ki Lipetī. Ka naʻe kole ange ʻe Hailame ke ne haʻu, pea naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻiloʻi pe te ne toe maʻu nai ha faingamālie ke sio ai kiate ia.[15]

Naʻe fakaava ʻe he tauhi pilīsoné ʻa e matapā hūʻangá pea naʻe hifo ʻa e ongo fefiné ki loto ki he loki pōpula ʻi lolofonuá ke na nofo ai ʻi he poó kakato mo e kau pōpulá. Naʻe tāpuni [ʻe he tauhi pilīsoné] ʻa e matapaá ʻo ne lokaʻi malu ia.[16]

Naʻe ʻikai ha taha ʻe lava ʻo mohe ʻi he pō ko iá. Naʻe ʻohovale ʻa e ongo fefiné ʻi heʻena sio kia Siosefa, Hailame mo e kau pōpua kehé—ne nau tutue mo likoliko ʻi honau fanga kiʻi loki fāsiʻí.[17] Naʻe fua ʻe Hailame hono foha kei valevalé peá ne talanoa leʻosiʻi pē mo Mele. Naʻá ne loto-hohaʻa mo e kau pōpula kehé. Ne tokanga maʻu pē ʻa e tauhi pilīsoné mo e kau leʻó, ʻi heʻenau fakapapauʻi naʻe faʻufaʻu ʻe Siosefa mo Hailame ha founga ke nau hola ai.

ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻe lea māvae ʻa Mele mo Meesi ki he kau pōpulá peá na kaka hake mei he loki pōpulá. ʻI hono fakafeʻao kinaua ʻe he kau leʻó kituʻá, naʻe ngaiʻi ʻa e hinisi ʻo e matapā ki he loki pōpulá ʻi hono tāpuniʻí.[18]

Naʻe maʻu ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi mo Hiipa Kimipolo ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko ko iá ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻo, ha tohi meia Siosefa. Naʻá ne pehē, “Ko e fatongia ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ke puleʻi ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻo e siasí.” Naʻá ne fekau ke nau fili ʻa e tokotaha motuʻa taha ʻi he kau fuofua ʻaposetoló ke ne fetongi ʻa Tōmasi Maasi ʻi he fatongia ko e palesiteni ʻo e kōlomú.[19] Ko Tēvita Pāteni naʻe motuʻa tahá, ka naʻá ne pekia hili hono fanaʻi ia ʻi he Vaitafe Pikopikó, ʻa ia ko Pilikihami leva, ne taʻu tolungofulu mā fitu ʻi he taimi ko iá, naʻe pau ke ne tataki ʻa e Kāingalotú mei Mīsulí.

Naʻe ʻosi kole ʻe Pilikihami ʻa e tokoni ʻa e kau aleaʻanga māʻolunga ʻi Mīsulí ke nau tauhi ʻa e māú ʻi he siasí pea fai tuʻutuʻuni maʻa Siosefa.[20] Ka naʻe kei lahi pē ngāue ke faí.

Naʻe tuku ange ʻe Seniale Kalake ha faingamālie ki he Kāingalotú ke nau mavahe ai mei he vahefonuá ʻi he faʻahitaʻu failaú, ka naʻe ʻi ai ha kau fakatanga ne nau ʻosi fakamahafu ne nau fononga holo ʻi he koló, ʻo nau palōmesi ke tāmateʻi ha taha pē ʻe kei nofo ai ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo Fēpuelí. Ko e Kāingalotu tokolahi ne nau maʻu ʻa e koloa feʻungá ne nau mavahe ʻi he taimi pē ko iá koeʻuhí ko ʻenau manavaheé, kae liʻaki ʻa e niʻihi masivesivá ke nau tokangaʻi pē kinautolu.[21]

ʻI he ʻaho 29 ʻo Sānualí, naʻe tapou ʻa Pilikihami ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó ke nau fuakava ke fetokoniʻaki ʻi he fetukutuku mei he vahefonuá. Naʻá ne talaange, “He ʻikai ke tau teitei liʻaki ʻa e masivá kae ʻoua kuo nau hao mei he tuʻutuʻuni ke fakaʻauhá.”

Ke fakapapauʻi naʻe tokangaekina e Kāingalotu kotoa pē, naʻá ne fili mo e kau taki kehe ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻó ha kōmiti ʻo ha kau tangata ʻe toko fitu ke nau fakahinohino ʻa e fetukutukú.[22] Naʻe tānaki ʻe he kōmití ha paʻanga mo ha nāunau tokoni maʻá e masivá mo fakafuofuaʻi e ngaahi fie maʻu ʻa e Kāingalotú. Naʻe fononga ha kau tangata tokolahi ʻo siviʻi ʻa e fanga kiʻi hala ʻi he vahefonuá, ʻo nau meimei nofotaha pē ki he ngaahi hala lahí pea fakamamaʻo mei he ngaahi feituʻu ne tuʻu fakatuʻutāmaki ki he Kāingalotú. Naʻe fehokotaki kotoa ʻa e ngaahi hala naʻe filí ki he Vaitafe Misisipí, ʻa ia ko e kauʻāfonua fakahahake ia ʻo e vahefonuá naʻe maile ʻe 160 hono mamaʻó.

Naʻa nau fakapapauʻi ʻe kamata ʻa e hiki fononga tokolahí ʻi he vave tahá.[23]

Naʻe mavahe ʻa ʻEma mei Hihifo Mamaʻo ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo Fēpuelí mo ʻene fānau ʻe toko faá—ko Sūlia naʻe taʻu valu, ko Siosefa ko hono III naʻe taʻu ono, ko Feletiliki naʻe taʻu ua pea mo ʻAlekisanitā naʻe māhina fitu.[24] Naʻe meimei ko e meʻa kotoa pē naʻá ne maʻu mo Siosefá naʻe kaihaʻasi pe liʻaki ia ʻi Hihifo Mamaʻo, pea naʻá ne fononga fakataha mo e ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ne nau ʻomi ha saliote mo e fanga hoosi ke fai ʻaki e fonongá. Naʻá ne toe ʻave foki mo e ʻū pepa mahuʻinga ʻa Siosefá.[25]

Naʻe laka hake ʻi he uike ʻe tahá ʻa e fononga ʻa e fāmilí ʻi he kelekele ʻaisi ʻo Mīsulí. Lolotonga ʻenau fonongá, naʻe mate ha taha ʻo ʻenau fanga hōsí. ʻI heʻenau aʻu ki he Vaitafe Misisipí, naʻa nau ʻiloʻi kuo fakatupu ʻe he momoko ʻīʻī ke poloka ʻa e vaitafe fālahí. Naʻe ʻikai ha vaka ʻe lava ke folau ai, ka naʻe matolu feʻunga pē ʻa e ʻaisi poloká ke fononga lalo ai ʻa e kulupú.

Naʻe fua ʻe ʻEma ʻa Feletiliki mo ʻAlekisanitā, ʻo nau hifo atu ki he ʻaisi poloká. Naʻe pikitai ʻa e valevale ko Siosefá ki ha tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo hono pivá kae piki maʻu ʻa Sūlia ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá. Naʻa nau lue toko tolu atu leva ʻi he funga ʻaisi hekeheké kae ʻoua kuo nau aʻu ki he kauvai ʻo e vaitafé.[26]

ʻI heʻenau hao moʻui mei Mīsulí, naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻEma naʻe angaʻofa ange ʻa e kakai ʻi he kolo ofi mai ko Kuinisī, ʻIlinoisí, ʻi he meʻa naʻá ne ʻamanaki ki aí. Naʻa nau tokoni ki he Kāingalotú ke nau kolosi ʻi he vaitafe ʻaisí, foaki ʻa e meʻakai mo e vala pea ʻoange mo ha nofoʻanga mo e ngāue ki he niʻihi ne nau fuʻu fie maʻu iá.[27]

Naʻe faitohi ʻa ʻEma ki hono husepānití ʻi heʻene tūʻutá pē ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kei moʻui pē pea ʻoku ou loto ke kātakiʻi ha toe meʻa lahi ange, ʻo kapau ko e finangalo ia ʻo e langí ke u fai ia maʻau.” Naʻe moʻui lelei foki e fānaú, tuku kehe pē ʻa Feletiliki naʻá ne puke lahi.

Naʻá ne fakahā ange, “ʻOku ʻikai ha toe taha ka ko e ʻOtuá pē taha ʻokú Ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e fakakaukau pea mo e ngaahi ongo ʻa hoku lotó ʻi he taimi naʻá ku liʻaki ai hotau falé mo e ʻapí mo e meimei meʻa kotoa pē naʻa tau maʻú, tuku kehe pē siʻeta kiʻi fānaú, ʻo u mavahe mei he vahefonua ko Mīsulí ʻo tuku koe ʻi he pilīsone fakataʻelatá.”

Ka naʻá ne kei falala pē ki he fakamaau totonu fakalangí mo fakatuʻamelie ki ha ngaahi ʻaho lelei ange. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku ʻikai lekooti ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻetau ngaahi mamahí mo sāuni ʻetau ngaahi faingataʻá kiate kinautolu ʻoku halaiá, tā kuo hala ʻeku maʻú.”[28]

ʻI he hola ʻa e Kāingalotú mei Mīsulí, naʻe kei taʻofi pē ʻe he kafo ʻa ʻAlamā Sāmitá e mavahe ʻa hono fāmilí mei he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní. Naʻe tokangaʻi ʻe ʻAmanitā ʻa hono fohá, ʻo ne hokohoko atu pē ke falala ki he ʻEikí ke Ne faitoʻo hono kongalotó.

“ʻE Fineʻeiki, ʻokú ke pehē ʻe lava ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo fakamoʻui au?” Ko e fehuʻi ange ia ʻa ʻAlamā ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe taha.

Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻIo, ʻe hoku foha. Kuó Ne fakahā kotoa mai ia kiate au ʻi ha mata meʻa-hā-mai.”[29]

Ne hili ha ngaahi taimi mei ai, naʻe fakaʻau ke toe fītaʻa ange ʻa e kau fakatangá pea ne nau fokotuʻu ha taimi fakangatangata ke mavahe ai ʻa e Kāingalotú. ʻI he aʻu ki he ʻaho ko iá, naʻe kei langa mamahi pē e kongaloto ʻo ʻAlamaá, pea naʻe ʻikai fie mavahe ʻa ʻAmanitā. ʻI heʻene manavaheé mo ʻene fakaʻamu ke lotu leʻolahí, naʻá ne toitoi ai ʻi ha haʻinga kauʻi koane ʻo kole ki he ʻEiki ha ivi mo ha tokoni.

ʻE  ʻOtua, ʻOkú Ke ʻi Fē?

Naʻe tuai e ʻalu ʻa e ʻahó ki he kau pōpula ʻi he fale fakapōpula Lipetií. Lolotonga ʻenau ngaahi fuofua māhina ʻi pilīsoné, naʻe faʻa ʻaʻahi mai e ngaahi fāmilí mo e kaungāmeʻá ʻa ia ne nau omi mo e ngaahi lea fakalotolahi, vala mo e meʻakai. Ka ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo e faʻahitaʻu momokó, naʻe siʻisiʻi ʻaupito ʻa e ʻū tohí mo e kau ʻaʻahi ki pilīsoné ʻi he hola ʻa e Kāingalotú ki ʻIlinoisí, pea ongoʻi liʻekina leva e kau nofo pōpulá.[1]

ʻI Sānuali 1839 naʻe feinga ʻa e Kāingalotú ke fakahū haʻanau tohi tangi ki ha fakamaau fakavahefonua, ka ko Sitenei Likitoni pē, ʻa ia naʻe puke lahi ʻaupitó, naʻe fakaʻatā ke totongi maluʻi ki tuʻá. Ko e toengá—ʻa Siosefa, Hailame, Laimani Uaiti, ʻAlekisenitā Makalei mo Kēlepi Polouini—naʻa nau toe foki pē ki honau lokí ʻo talitali ai ki he hopó ʻi he faʻahitaʻu failaú.[2]

Naʻe uesia lahi ʻe he nofo pilīsoné ʻa Siosefa. Ne faʻa fakasiosio mai e kau fakatangá ʻi he luvá ke siofi pe kapekape mai kiate ia. Ko e meʻa pē naʻe faʻa mau ke nau kai mo e kau pōpula kehé ko ha konga mā koane. Ko e kauʻi mohuku naʻa nau fakaʻaongaʻi ke fakamolū ʻaki e mohengá talu mei Tīsemá kuo lafalafa ia pea naʻe taʻefakafiemālie ki he mohé. Ko e taimi te nau tafu ai ha afi ke feinga ke fakamāfanaʻi kinautolú, naʻe ʻahuina e lokí pea ne nau fulutāmakia leva.[3]

ʻI he ofi ki honau ʻaho hopó, naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe he tangata takitaha ʻe faingamālie lelei pē ke fakahalaiaʻi kinautolu ʻe ha kau sula filifilimānako ke tāmateʻi kinautolu. Naʻe tuʻo lahi ʻenau feinga ke hola mei pilīsone, ka ko e taimi kotoa pē ne nau feinga ai, naʻe maʻu kinautolu ʻe he kau tangata leʻó.[4]

Talu mei hono maʻu ʻe Siosefa ʻa hono uiuiʻi fakalangí mo ʻene vilitaki atu lolotonga ʻene fehangahangai mo e filí, ʻo faifeinga ke ne talangofua ki he ʻEikí mo tānaki fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú. Ka neongo e tupulaki e siasí ʻi he ngaahi taʻu kuohilí, ne hangē kuo teuteu pē ia he taimí ni ke holó.

Kuo tuli ʻe he kau fakatangá ʻa e Kāingalotú mei Saione ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní. Ne hoko e fekeʻikeʻi ʻi loto ʻi he siasí ke māvahevahe ai e siasí ʻi Ketilani pea puke leva ʻe kinautolu ne moʻua ki ai e siasí ʻa e temipalé. Pea ʻi he hili ko ʻeni ʻa e tau fakalilifu mo honau ngaahi kaungāʻapí, naʻe movete ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he tafaʻaki fakahahake ʻo e Vaitafe Misisipí, ne nau lotosiʻi pea ʻikai hanau ʻapi nofoʻanga.

Naʻe fakakaukau ʻa Siosefa, kapau pē naʻe tukunoaʻi kinautolu ʻe he kakai Mīsulí naʻe mei ʻi ha tuʻunga melino pē mo fiemālie ʻa e fonuá. Ko ha kakai lelei ʻa e Kāingalotú naʻa nau ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá. Ne ʻikai tuha mo kinautolu ʻa hono tuli mei honau ngaahi ʻapí ʻo tā fakamamahi pea liʻaki ke maté.[5]

Naʻe fakatupu ʻita kia Siosefa ʻa e fakamaau taʻetotonú. ʻI he Fuakava Motuʻá, naʻe faʻa fakahaofi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa Hono kakaí mei he faingataʻá, ʻo Ne ikuʻi ai honau ngaahi filí ʻaki e mālohi ʻa Hono toʻukupú. Ka ko ʻeni, kuo fakamanamanaʻi ke fakaʻauha e Kāingalotú ka naʻe ʻikai pē Haʻane teitei kau mai.

Ko e hā nai hono ʻuhingá?

Ko e hā naʻe fakangofua ai ʻe ha Tamai Hēvani ʻofa ha kakai tangata mo fefine mo e fānau taʻehalaia ke nau mamahi lolotonga iá ʻoku tauʻatāina mo taʻetauteaʻi pē ʻa e niʻihi ia ne nau tuli kinautolu mei honau ngaahi ʻapí, kaihaʻasi honau kelekelé, mo ngaohikovia kinautolú? ʻOku lava fēfē ke Ne tuku ʻEne kau tamaioʻeiki faivelengá ke nau nofo ʻi ha pilīsone fakaheli, ʻo nau mamaʻo ai mei honau ngaahi ʻofaʻangá? Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa ki hono liʻaki ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau fuʻu fie maʻu lahi taha ai Iá?

“ʻE  ʻOtua, ʻokú ke ʻi fē?” Ko e tangilaulau ia ʻa Siosefá. “ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo e taʻofi ho toʻukupú?”[6]

Lolotonga e fefaʻuhi ʻa Siosefa mo e ʻEikí, naʻe ʻi ai ha fili mahuʻinga—mo fakatuʻutāmaki ki he moʻuí—ke fai ʻe he kau ʻaposetolo ʻi Kuinisií. ʻI he taʻu kimuʻá, naʻe fekauʻi kinautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ke nau fakataha ʻi he ʻaho 26 ʻo  ʻEpeleli, 1839 ki Hihifo Mamaʻó ki he feituʻu ʻe langa ai e temipalé ke nau hoko atu hono fakatoka e fakavaʻe ʻo e temipalé pea nau toki ʻalu leva ʻo toe ngāue fakafaifekau ki ʻIngilaní. ʻI ha māhina ʻe taha kimuʻa pea hokosia e ʻaho ne fai ki ai e aleá, naʻe vivili ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi ke toe foki ʻa e kau ʻaposetoló ki Hihifo Mamaʻo ʻo fakahoko totonu e fekau ʻa e ʻEikí.

Naʻe tui ʻa e kau taki tokolahi ʻo e siasí ʻi Kuinisī naʻe ʻikai toe fie maʻu ia ke talangofua ʻa e kau ʻaposetoló ki he fakahaá, pea ne nau pehē ʻoku fakavalevale ia ke toe foki ki ha feituʻu naʻe ʻosi fakapapau ai ʻa e kau fakatangá ke tāmateʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú. Ne nau fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻo pehē, ʻoku pau pē he ʻikai finangalo ʻa e ʻEikí ke nau fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻi ʻenau moʻuí ke fononga ʻi ha maile ʻe laungeau ki he uhouhonga ʻo e filí lolotonga iá naʻe fuʻu fie maʻu kinautolu ʻi ʻIlinoisi.[7]

ʻIkai ngata aí, naʻe taʻemaau ʻenau kōlomú. Naʻe lolotonga hē ʻa Tōmasi Maasi mo ʻOasoni Haiti mei he moʻoní, naʻe tuku pōpula ʻa Paʻale Pālati pea naʻe kei ʻi Mīsuli pē ʻa Hiipa Kimipolo mo Sione Peisi. Naʻe teʻeki ke fakanofo ʻa e kau ʻaposetolo ia ne toki uí, ʻa Uilifooti Utalafi, Uiliate Lisiate mo e tokoua ʻaki ʻo Siosefa ko Siaosi A. Sāmitá, pea naʻe kei ʻi ʻIngilani pē ʻa Uiliate ia ke malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí.[8]

Ka naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Pilikihami ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e mālohi ke fakataha ki Hihifo Mamaʻo ʻo hangē ko ia ne fekau ʻe he ʻEikí, pea ʻoku totonu ke nau feinga ke fakahoko ia.

Naʻá ne fakaʻamu ke nau lototaha mo e kau ʻaposetolo ʻi Kuinisií. Ke fakahoko e fonongá, naʻe pau ke nau mavahe mei honau fāmilí lolotonga e taimi naʻe fakaʻalongaua ai e kahaʻu ʻo e siasí. Kapau ʻe puke pōpula pe tāmateʻi ʻa e kau ʻaposetoló, ʻe pau leva ke fehangahangai honau ngaahi uaifí mo e fānaú mo e ngaahi faingataʻá ʻiate kinautolu pē.

Koeʻuhí ko ʻenau ʻiloʻi ʻa hono fuʻu mahuʻingá, naʻe loto-fiemālie ai ʻa ʻOasoni Pālati, Sione Teila, Uilifooti Utalafi mo Siaosi A. Sāmita ke fai ʻa e meʻa pē naʻe fie maʻú ke muimui ki he fekau ʻa e ʻEikí.

Hili ʻenau fai ʻenau filí, naʻe pehē ʻe Pilikihami, “Kuo folofola ʻe he ʻEiki ko e ʻOtuá. Ko hotau fatongiá ke talangofua pea tuku ʻa e meʻa ʻe hokó ki Hono toʻukupú.”[9]

ʻI he fale fakapōpula Lipetií, naʻe mafasia e fakakaukau ʻa Siosefá ʻi heʻene loto-hohaʻa ki he Kāingalotú pea mo e ngaahi ʻulungaanga kovi naʻe fai kiate kinautolú. ʻI he efiafi ʻo e ʻaho 19 ʻo Māʻasí, naʻá ne maʻu ai ha ʻū tohi meia ʻEma mo hono tokoua ko Toni Kālosí pea mo Pīsope Pātilisi.[10] Naʻe fakafiefia ʻa e ʻū tohí kiate ia mo e kau pōpula kehé, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ngalo ʻiate ia naʻe lokaʻi ia ʻi ha loki pōpula likoliko lolotonga iá ʻoku movete holo ʻa e Kāingalotú pea ʻoku nau fie maʻu ha tokoni.

ʻI he hili ha ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono maʻu ʻo e ʻū tohí, naʻe kamata ʻe Siosefa ke ne fai ha ongo tohi ki he Kāingalotú ʻo ne vahevahe ai ʻene fakakaukaú ʻi ha founga ne teʻeki ke ne fakahoko kimuʻa. ʻI heʻene tala kae tohi ki ha tokotaha pōpula ʻe taha, ʻa ia naʻe hoko ko ʻene tangata tohí, naʻe feinga ʻa e palōfitá ke ne poupouʻi ʻa e Kāingalotú lolotonga ʻenau ongoʻi kuo siva ʻenau ʻamanakí.

Naʻá ne fakapapauʻi ange kiate kinautolu, “Ko e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo e faiangahala pea mo e anga taʻeʻofa kuo fakahoko kiate kitautolú te nau haʻi fakataha hotau ngaahi lotó pea mo fakamaʻu kinautolu ʻi he ʻofa.”[11]

Ka naʻe ʻikai lava ke ne tukunoaʻi ʻa e ngaahi māhina ʻo e fakatanga naʻe fakamālohiʻi ai kinautolu ki he tūkunga ʻoku nau ʻi aí. Naʻá ne hanu fekauʻaki mo Kōvana Pokesi, kau sōtiá, pea mo kinautolu ne nau fakamamahiʻi e Kāingalotú. Naʻá ne tautapa ki he ʻEikí ʻi he lotu, “Tuku ke tupu ʻa ho houhaú ki homau ngaahi filí, pea sāuni ʻa homau ngaahi ngaohikoviá ʻaki hoʻo heletaá ʻi he houhau ʻa ho finangaló!”[12]

Ka naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa naʻe ʻikai ko e foʻui ʻataʻatā pē ia honau ngaahi filí. Naʻe feinga ha Kāingalotu ʻe niʻihi, ʻo kau ai ʻa e kau taki ʻo e siasí, ke fufuuʻi ʻenau ngaahi angahalá, fakafiemālieʻi ʻenau loto-hīkisia mo e holí pea mo fakamālohiʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke talangofua kiate kinautolu. Ne nau ngāue hala ʻaki honau mālohí mo e tuʻunga ʻi he Kāingalotú.

Naʻe ueʻi fakalaumālie ʻa Siosefa ke ne pehē, “Kuo tau ʻiloʻi ʻi he ngaahi meʻa pango kuo hoko kiate kitautolú, ko e anga mo e ʻulungaanga ʻo e meimei kakai kotoa pē, ʻo ka nau ka maʻu leva ha kihiʻi mafai, ʻo hangē tokua ko ʻenau mahaló, [ʻoku] nau kamata leva ke ngāue ʻaki ha pule taʻetotonu.”[13]

Ko e Kāingalotu angatonú ʻoku totonu ke nau moʻui ʻaki e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻoku māʻolunga angé. Naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai lava, pe ʻoku ʻikai totonu, ke ngāue ʻaki ha mālohi pe ivi ʻi he mafai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, kae ngata pē ʻi he feifeingaʻi ʻi he faʻa kātaki fuoloa, ʻi he angavaivai mo e angamalū pea mo e ʻofa taʻe-mālualoi.” Ko kinautolu ne nau feinga ke faihala mei aí ne mole meiate kinautolu ʻa e Laumālié mo e mafai ke tāpuekina e moʻui ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻaki e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.[14]

Langa Hake ha Kolo

ʻI he konga kimui ʻo ʻEpeleli 1839, ʻi he hili ha ngaahi ʻaho ʻo e toe fakataha ʻa Siosefa mo e Kāingalotú, naʻá ne fononga fakatokelau ke siviʻi e kelekele naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he kau taki ʻo e siasí ke fakatau mai ʻi Komesí, ko ha kolo naʻe maile ʻe nimangofulu mei Kuinisī. Ko e toki fuofua taimi ia hili ha māhina ʻe ono ke fononga ʻa e palōfitá taʻe ʻi ai haʻane kau leʻo kuo ʻosi fakamahafu mo taʻemanavahē telia naʻa fakamamahiʻi ia ʻe he kakaí. Naʻe faifai peá ne ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ha kakai naʻá ne maheni mo ia, ʻi ha vahefonua naʻe talitali lelei ai ʻe he kakaí ʻa e Kāingalotú mo fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻenau tuí.

Lolotonga e tukupōpula ʻa Siosefá, naʻá ne faitohi ki ha tangata naʻá ne fakatau atu ʻa e kelekele ʻi he feituʻu Komesí, ʻo ne fakahaaʻi ʻene fakaʻamu ke fakatau mai ha konga kelekele ʻi he feituʻu ko iá maʻá e siasí. Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa, “ʻKapau he ʻikai fie fakatau ʻe ha taha ʻa e kelekelé, pea te mau fakatau ia meiate koe.”[1]

Ka ʻi he hili e moveuveu ʻi he Hihifo Mamaʻó, naʻe fehuʻia ʻe ha Kāingalotu tokolahi ʻa e fakapotopoto ko ia ke fakataha ki ha feituʻu pē ʻe tahá. Naʻe fifili ʻa ʻEtuate Pātilisi pe ko e founga lelei taha nai ke fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei he fekeʻikeʻí mo tokoni ki he masivá ko ha movete ʻo fakataha ʻi ha fanga kiʻi kulupu iiki ʻi he funga kotoa ʻo e fonuá.[2] Ka naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa ne teʻeki ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa ʻEne fekau ki he Kāingalotú ke nau fakataha maí.

ʻI heʻene tūʻuta ʻi Komesí, naʻá ne mamata ki ha teleʻa kele naʻe fakatau atu ki ha lilifa vaotā ʻoku hanga hifo ki ha foʻi piko ʻi he Vaitafe Misisipí. Ne tuʻu takai ha tukui ʻapi ʻi he ʻēliá. Naʻe tuʻu ha ʻū ʻapitanga tau liʻaki ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e vaitafe ʻi he Vahefonua ʻAiouaá ʻo ofi ki he kolo ko Monitilosé, ʻa ia ko ha konga kelekele lahi ange ia ne ʻatā ke fakatau atu.

Naʻe tui ʻa Siosefa ʻe lava ke langa ʻe he Kāingalotú ha ngaahi siteiki ʻo Saione ʻi he feituʻu ko ʻení. Naʻe ʻikai ko e kelekele lelei taha ia kuó ne mamata ki aí, ka naʻe hoko ʻa e Vaitafe Misisipí ke fakafaingofuaʻi ai ha fefolauʻaki tahi, pea hoko ai ʻa Komesi ko ha feituʻu lelei ke fakataha mai ki ai ʻa e Kāingalotu mei mulí mo fokotuʻu ai ha ngaahi pisinisi fakakomesiale. Naʻe ʻikai foki ke tokolahi hano nofoʻi ʻo e feituʻu ko iá.

Ka neongo iá, ʻe kei faingataʻa pē ke tānaki fakataha mai ki ai ʻa e Kāingalotú. Kapau ʻe tupulaki ʻa e Siasí, ʻi he founga ne fakatetuʻa ki ai ʻa Siosefa ʻe hokó, mahalo ʻe hohaʻa ʻa e kaungāʻapí pea te nau fehiʻa kiate kinautolu, ʻo hangē ko ia ne fai ʻe he kakai ʻi Mīsulí.

Naʻe lotu ʻa Siosefa. “ʻEiki, ko Ho finangaló ke u fai ʻa e hā?”

Naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo pehē, “Langa hake ha kolo pea ui mai ʻeku Kāingalotú ki he feituʻú ni.”[3]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu failau ko iá, naʻe hiki ʻa Uilifooti mo Fīpē Utalafi ʻo nofo ʻi he ʻapitanga fakakautau ʻi Monitilosé. Naʻe kau ʻi hona kaungāʻapi foʻoú ʻa Pilikihami mo Mele ʻAna ʻIongi pea mo ʻOasoni mo Sela Pālati. Hili ʻenau fetukutuku honau fāmilí, naʻe palani ʻa e toko toluʻi ʻaposetoló ke nau ʻalu ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau ki Pilitānia mo e toenga ʻo e kōlomú.[4]

Ne laui afe ha Kāingalotu ne nau hiki ʻo tānaki fakataha mai ki he potu foʻou ko iá, ʻo fokotuʻu ha ʻū tēniti pe nofo saliote lolotonga ia ʻenau ngāue ke langa ha ʻū ʻapi, maʻu ha meʻatokoni mo e vala mo fakaʻataʻatā ha konga kelekele ʻi he fakatou tafaʻaki ʻo e vaitafé ke tō ai ha ngoue.[5]

ʻI he fakaʻau ke tupulaki ʻa e kolo foʻoú, naʻe faʻa toutou fakataha ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá mo Siosefa, ʻa ia naʻá ne malanga ʻi ha ivi foʻou ke teuteuʻi kinautolu ki heʻenau ngāue fakafaifekaú.[6] Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he palōfitá he ʻikai fakahā ʻe he ʻOtuá ha meʻa kiate ia he ʻikai ke ne taʻe fakahā ia ki he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá. Naʻe fakahā ʻe Siosefa ʻo pehē, “Naʻa mo e Tokotaha Māʻoniʻoni siʻisiʻi tahá te ne ʻilo ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau mo e meʻa te ne mafuesiá.”[7]

Naʻá ne fakahinohinoʻi kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻuluaki tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e ongoongoleleí, ʻa e Toetuʻú mo e Fakamāú pea mo hono langa ʻo Saioné. Naʻá ne toe poupouʻi foki ke nau faivelenga ʻi heʻene manatuʻi ʻa hono lavakiʻi ʻo e kau ʻaposetolo kimuʻá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Fakapapauʻi ke ʻoua naʻa mou lavakiʻi ʻa e langí, ke ʻoua naʻa mou lavakiʻi ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ke ʻoua naʻa mou lavakiʻi ʻa homou kau takí, ke ʻoua naʻa mou lavakiʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakahā ʻa e ʻOtuá.”[8]

ʻI he taimi ko ʻení, naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻOasoni Haiti ʻa ʻene fie foki ki he Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, ka naʻá ne mā he kuó ne fakaangaʻi ʻa Siosefa ʻi Mīsuli mo liʻaki ʻa e Kāingalotú. ʻI he manavahē ʻa Sitenei Likitoni telia naʻa toe lavakiʻi kinautolu ʻe ʻOasoni ʻi ha toe hoko mai ha faingataʻá, naʻe ʻikai ai ke ne fie fakafoki ange ʻa hono tuʻunga fakaeʻaposetoló. Ka neongo iá, naʻe talitali lelei ia ʻe Siosefa peá ne toe fakafoki ange ʻa hono tuʻunga ke kau ʻi he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá.[9] ʻI Siulai, naʻe hola ai ʻa Paʻale Pālati mei he fale fakapōpula ʻi Mīsulí pea naʻá ne toe fakataha mo e kau ʻaposetoló.[10]

ʻI he taimi ko iá naʻe fakaʻau ʻo lahi ʻa e pupunga namu ne nau keina ʻa e kau nofo foʻoú, pea naʻe tokolahi ʻa e Kāingalotu ne nau puke ʻi he mofi malēliá mo e fakamokosiá. Naʻe tokolahi ʻa e niʻihi ʻi he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ne nau fuʻu mahamahaki ke ō ki Pilitānia.[11]

ʻI he pongipongi Mōnite ko hono 22 ʻo Siulaí, naʻe fanongo hake ʻa Uilifooti ki he leʻo ʻo Siosefá ʻokú ne ui mai mei he tuʻafalé: “ʻE Misa Utalafi, muimui ʻiate au.”

Naʻe hū atu ʻa Uilifooti kituʻa ʻo ne vakai kia Siosefa ʻoku tuʻu mai mo ha kau tangata. Kuo nau takai ʻi he pongipongí kakato mei he fale ki he fale mo e tēniti ki he tēniti ke fakamoʻui ʻa e mahakí. Hili hono tāpuakiʻi e Kāingalotu ʻi Komesí, ne nau heka vaka leva ʻo kolosi ʻi he vaitafé ke fakamoʻui ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi Monitilosé.[12]

Naʻe lue takai ʻa Uilifooti mo kinautolu ʻi he koló ki he ʻapi ʻo hono kaungāmeʻa ko ʻIlaisiā Fōtihamí. Naʻe takaʻuli ʻa e foʻi mata ʻo ʻIlaisiaá pea naʻe tea mate mo hono kilí. Naʻe tangi ʻutuʻutufia pē ʻa hono uaifi ko ʻAná ʻi heʻene teuteuʻi hono vala maté.[13]

Ne ʻunu atu ʻa Siosefa kia ʻIlaisiā peá ne puke hono nimá. Naʻá ne fehuʻi ange ʻo pehē, “ʻE Misa Footihami kuo ʻikai nai haʻo tui ke fakamoʻui koe?”

Naʻá ne tali ange ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou manavasiʻi kuo fuʻu tōmui.”

“ʻOku ʻikai nai ke ke tui ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí?”

“ʻOku ou tui ki ai, Siosefa.”

Naʻe fakahā ange leva ʻe he palōfitá, “ʻE ʻIlaisiā, ʻoku ou fekauʻi koe ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsū ʻo Nāsaletí, ke ke tuʻu hake peá ke moʻui.”

Ne hangē ne hanga ʻe he ngaahi leá ni ʻo luluʻi ʻa e falé. Naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā mei hono mohengá, pea naʻe toe foki ʻa e lanu ʻo hono matá ki hono fōtunga totonú. Naʻá ne teuteu pea kole ha meʻakai ke ne kai, peá ne muimui ʻia Siosefa ke tokoni ki hono tauhi e niʻihi kehé.[14]

ʻI he efiafi ko iá, naʻe ʻohovale ʻa Fīpē Utalafi ʻi heʻene ʻaʻahi atu kia ʻIlaisiā mo ʻAná. Ko e ngaahi houa siʻi kimuʻa aí, ne mole meia ʻAna ʻa e ʻamanaki lelei ʻe toe moʻui hono husepānití. Ka ko ʻeni kuo talaange ʻe ʻIlaisiā ia naʻá ne ongoʻi mālohi feʻunga ke ngāue ʻi heʻene ngoué. Naʻe ʻikai ha toe veiveiua ʻa Fīpē ko e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí naʻe toe moʻui ai [ʻa ʻIlaisiaá].[15]

Naʻe ʻikai ke hoko ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Siosefa ke tāpuakiʻi mo fakamoʻui e mahakí ke fakangata ai e mafola ʻa e mahakí ʻi Komesi mo Monitilosé, naʻe mālōlō ha Kāingalotu ʻe niʻihi. ʻI he fakaʻau ke tokolahi ange ʻa e kakai ne mālōloó, naʻe loto-hohaʻa ʻa e finemui taʻu hongofulu mā valu ko Sina Hanitingitoní telia naʻa mālōlō foki mo ʻene faʻeé ʻi he mahakí.

Naʻe tokangaʻi maʻu pē ʻe Sina ʻene faʻeé, naʻá ne fakafalala ki heʻene tamaí mo hono ngaahi tuongaʻané ke tokoni kiate ia, ka naʻe ʻikai fuoloa mei ai kuo puke kotoa e fāmilí ʻi he mahakí. Naʻe toutou ʻaʻahi maʻu pē ʻa Siosefa kiate kinautolu, ʻo vakai pe ko e hā ha meʻa te ne lava ʻo tokoni ai ki he fāmilí pe fakafiemālieʻi e faʻē ʻa Siná.

ʻI ha ʻaho ʻe taha, naʻe ui ai e faʻē ʻa Siná kiate ia. Naʻá ne lea ange ʻi he leʻo vaivai, “Kuo hokosia e taimi ke u mate aí. Pea ʻoku ʻikai te u ilifia.” Naʻá ne fakamoʻoni kia Sina fekauʻaki mo e Toetuʻú. “Te u foki ikuna mai ʻi he taimi ʻe hāʻele mai ai ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mo e kau angatonú ki māmaní ke feʻiloaki mo e kau Māʻoniʻoní.”

ʻI he taimi naʻe mālōlō ai e faʻē ʻa Siná, naʻe lomekina ia ʻe he loto mamahí. Naʻe hokohoko atu pē ʻa e ʻaʻahi ʻa Siosefa ki he fāmilí ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi e faingataʻa ne nau fekuki mo iá.[16]

Lolotonga ha ʻaʻahi ʻe taha ʻa Siosefa, naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe Sina, “Te u ʻiloʻi nai ʻeku faʻeé ʻi he taimi te u ʻalu ai ki he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá?”

Naʻe tali ange [ʻe Siosefa] ʻo pehē, “ʻE mahulu hake ia ai, te ke feʻiloaki pea te ke maheni mo hoʻo Faʻē taʻengatá, ʻa e uaifi ʻa hoʻo Tamai ʻi Hēvaní.”

“He ʻoku ʻi ai haʻaku Faʻē ʻi Hēvani?” Ko e fehuʻi ange ia ʻa Siná.

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosefa, “ʻOku pau ʻoku ʻi ai. “ʻE maʻu fēfē nai ʻe he Tamaí ʻa Hono huafá taʻe ʻi ai foki mo ha Faʻē ke Na vahevahe ʻa e fatongia fakaemātuʻa ko iá?”[17]

ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo ʻAokosí, ne folau ai ʻa Uilifooti mo Sione Teila ki ʻIngilani, ko e ongo fuofua ʻaposetolo ia ke na mavahe ʻo ngāue fakafaifekau ki ha feituʻu foʻou. ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe lolotonga feitama ʻa Fīpē, pea naʻe puke ʻa e uaifi ʻo Sione ko Lionolá mo ʻena fānau ʻe toko tolú ʻi he mofí.[18]

Ko e ongo ʻaposetolo hono hoko ne na teuteu ke folau atú ko Paʻale mo ʻOasoni Pālati, neongo naʻe kei tengihia ʻe ʻOasoni mo Sela ʻa e mālōlō hona ʻofefine ko Litiá, ʻa ia ne mālōlō ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe hongofulu mā taha kimuʻa ai. Naʻe kau fakataha ʻa e uaifi ʻa Paʻale ko Mele ʻAna Pālatí mo e ongo ʻaposetoló ʻi he folau ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú. Ko e ʻaposetolo siʻisiʻi tahá ko Siaosi A. Sāmita, naʻá ne kei puke pē ʻi he taimi naʻe kamata ai ʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú, ʻo fakatoloi ai ʻene mali ki hono kaumeʻa ko Patisepa Pikilaá.[19]

Naʻe lea māvae ʻa Mele ʻAna ʻIongi kia Pilikihami ʻi he vaeuaʻanga ʻo Sepitemá. Naʻá ne toe puke pē, ka naʻá ne loto fakapapau ke fai ʻa e meʻa naʻe fie maʻu ke ne faí. Naʻe puke mo Mele ʻAna pea naʻe ʻikai lahi feʻunga ʻa e paʻanga naʻá ne maʻu ke tauhi ʻaki ʻena fānau ʻe toko nimá lolotonga e mavahe ʻa Pilikihamí, ka naʻá ne fie maʻu ke fai [ʻe Pilikihami] hono fatongiá.

Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo fakahoko hoʻo misioná, pea ʻe tāpuekina koe ʻe he ʻEikí. Te u fai ʻa e lelei taha te u lavá kiate au mo e fānaú.”[20]

Hili ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei he mavahe ʻa Pilikihamí, naʻe toki ʻiloʻi ʻe Mele ʻAna naʻe ngata pē [ʻa Pilikihami] ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Kimipoló, ʻa ia ne tuʻu ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e Vaitafe Misisipí, he naʻá ne tō ʻo pongia ʻi heʻene fuʻu ongosiá. Naʻe kolosi leva [ʻa Mele ʻAna] ki he tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo e vaitafé ke ne tokangaʻi [ʻa Pilikihami] kae ʻoua leva kuó ne mālohi feʻunga ki he folaú.[21]

Ne ʻiloʻi ʻe Mele ʻAna ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Kimipoló naʻe puke ʻa Vilate mo hono ongo foha ʻe toko ua, pea naʻe ʻikai ha taha ka ko hona foha taʻu faá pē naʻá ne taki ʻa e sioki vai mamafá mei he vaitupú. Naʻe ʻikai malava ʻa Hiipa ʻo tuʻu ki ʻolunga koeʻuhí ko ʻene puké, ka naʻá ne tukupā kuo pau ke ne ʻalu mo Pilikihami ʻi he ʻaho ʻe tahá.

Naʻe tokangaʻi ʻe Mele ʻAna ʻa Pilikihami kae ʻoua kuo aʻu mai ha saliote ʻi he pongipongi hono hokó. ʻI he tuʻu hake ʻa Hiipa ke ne ʻalú, naʻá ne mataʻi taʻefiemālie. Naʻá ne faʻofua kia Vilate ʻa ia ne tokoto pē ʻi he mohengá ʻo tetetete ʻi he mofí, peá ne lea māvae ki heʻene fānaú mo kaka ngāluelue ki he salioté.

Naʻe feinga ʻa Pilikihami ke ne mataʻi moʻui lelei ʻi heʻene lea māvae kia Mele ʻAna mo hono tuofefine ko Fané, ʻa ia naʻá ne fakalotoʻi ia ke nofo kae ʻoua kuó ne sai leleí.

Naʻá ne pehē ange, “Kuo teʻeki ke u ongoʻi moʻui lelei ange ʻi heʻeku moʻuí.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Fane, “‘Okú ke loi.”

Naʻe kaka ʻa Pilikihami ki he salioté ʻo tangutu ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo Hīpá. ʻI he mavahe atu ʻa e salioté mei he tafungofungá, naʻe ongoʻi tautea ʻa Hiipa ʻi heʻene mavahe mei hono fāmilí lolotonga ia ʻoku nau puke lahí. Naʻá ne tafoki ʻo talaange ki he tokotaha angi saliote ke taʻofi e salioté. Naʻá ne pehē ange kia Pilikihami, “Ko ha meʻa faingataʻa moʻoni ʻeni. Ta tuʻu ki ʻolunga ʻo tuetuē kiate kinautolu.”

Naʻe hoko e longoaʻa ne ongona mei he tuʻafalé ke tuʻu ai ʻa Vilate mei hono mohengá. Naʻá ne toketu mai ki he matapaá, ʻo ne sio fakataha mo Mele ʻAna mo Fane ki he mamaʻo siʻi atú. Naʻe hā ha malimali mei he fofonga ʻo Vilaté.

Ko Pilikihami ia mo Hiipa, ne na tuʻu ʻi mui ʻi he salioté ʻo na fepikinima ʻi heʻena feinga ke na tuʻu hangatonú. “Tuē! Tuē!” ko e kaila ia ʻa e ongo tangatá ʻi heʻena taʻalo hona tataá ʻi he ʻataá. “Tuē maʻa ʻIsileli!”

Naʻe kaila atu ʻa e kau fefiné, “Mo ō ā!” “ʻOfa ke tāpuakina kimoua ʻe he ʻOtuá!”[22]

Lolotonga e mavahe ʻa e kau ʻaposetoló ki Pilitāniá, naʻe faʻu ʻe he Kāingalotu ʻi ʻIlinoisi mo ʻAiouá ha fakamatala ʻoku fakaikiiki ai ʻa hono ngaohikovia kinautolu ʻi Mīsulí, ʻa ia ne fekau ʻe Siosefa ke nau fai ʻi he taimi naʻá ne ʻi he fale fakapōpulá aí. ʻI he aʻu ki he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlaú, kuo tānaki ʻe he kau taki ʻo e siasí ha ʻū fakamatala ʻe laungeau pea ne nau teuteuʻi leva ha tohi tangi. Ko hono fakakātoá, naʻe ʻeke ʻe he Kāingalotú ha paʻanga ʻe ua miliona tupu ke totongi ʻaki e tukui ʻapi, kelekele, fanga monumanu mo e ʻū koloa kehe ne molé. Naʻe palani ʻa Siosefa ke ne ʻave ʻa e tohi tangi ko ʻení ki he Palesiteni ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití pea ki he Fale Aleá.

Naʻe fakakaukau ʻa Siosefa ko Palesiteni Mātini Veni Piulení ko ha tangata poto mo angatonu—ko ha taha ʻokú ne poupou fefeka ki he totonu ʻa e kakaí. Naʻe fakatetuʻa ʻa Siosefa ʻe lau ʻe he palesitení mo e kau faʻu lao ʻi Uasingatoni, DC, ʻa e mamahi ʻa e Kāingalotú pea poupou ke totongi kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻenau kelekele mo e koloa ne mole ʻi Mīsulí.[23]

ʻI he ʻaho 29 ʻo Nōvema, 1839, hili e fononga ʻa Siosefa ʻi ha meimei maile ʻe taha afe mei hono ʻapi ʻi ʻIlinoisí, naʻá ne tūʻuta ʻi he matapā ʻo e ʻapi nofoʻanga fakapalesitení ʻi Uasingatoní. Naʻá ne fononga fakataha mo hono kaungāmeʻa ka ko ha loea ko ʻIlaiase Hikipií, pea mo Sione Lainolo ko ha fakafofonga fale alea mei ʻIlinoisi.[24]

Naʻe fakafeʻiloaki kiate kinautolu ha tangata leʻo matapā peá ne kamo ange ke nau hū mai ki loto. Naʻe toki fakaleleiʻi ʻa e falé, pea naʻe ofo ʻa Siosefa mo ʻIlaiase ʻi he masani hono ʻū lokí, ʻa ia naʻe fehangahangai ʻaupito ia mo e ʻū nofoʻanga ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi Hihifó.

Naʻe tataki kinautolu ki ha loki ʻi ʻolunga ʻa ia naʻe lolotonga lea ai ʻa Palesiteni Veni Piuleni ki ha kau ʻaʻahi. Lolotonga ʻenau talitali ʻi he matapaá mo e tohi tangí mo e ʻū tohi fakafeʻiloakí, naʻe kole ange ʻe Siosefa ki he Fakafofonga ko Lainoló ke ne fakafeʻiloaki ia ko ha “mēmipa ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní.” Ne ʻohovale mo ngali fakaoliʻia ʻa e fakafofongá ʻi he kole ko iá, ka naʻá ne loto-fiemālie pē ke fai e loto ʻo Siosefá. Neongo naʻe ʻikai ke vekeveke ʻa e Fakafofonga ko Lainoló ke tokoni ki he Kāingalotú, ka naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻe tokoni ʻenau tokolahí kiate ia ʻi he meʻa fakapolitikale ʻi ʻIlinoisí.[25]

Naʻe ʻikai ʻamanaki ʻa Siosefa te ne feʻiloaki pea mo e palesitení mo ha kau fakafofonga tokosiʻi. ʻI he taimi naʻá ne mavahe ai mei ʻIlinoisi ʻi ʻOkatopá, naʻá ne palani ke tuku kia Sitenei Likitoni ke ne tataki ʻa e ngaahi fakataha ko ʻení. Ka naʻe fuʻu mahamahaki ʻa Sitenei ki he fefonongaʻaki holó pea naʻe iku ai ʻo ne nofo.[26]

Naʻe faifai pea fakaava mai ʻa e matapā ʻo e lokí, pea naʻe hū atu ʻa e kau tangata ʻe toko tolú ki loto. Ko Mātini Veni Piulení ko ha foha ia ʻo ha tangata faama mei Niu ʻIoke ʻo hangē pē ko Siosefá, ka ko ha tangata ia ne matuʻotuʻa ange pea tapukupuku foʻi sino mo tetea hono kilí, pea naʻe hinā hono louʻulu ne takatakaiʻi hono fofongá.

Naʻe fakafeʻiloaki ʻe he Fakafofonga ko Lainoló ʻa Siosefa ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní. Naʻe mamali ʻa e palesitení ʻi he hingoa ngali kehe ko iá peá ne lulululu mo e palōfitá.[27]

Hili e feʻiloaki ʻa Siosefa mo e palesitení, naʻá ne ʻoange kiate ia ʻa e ʻū tohi fakafeʻiloakí mo talitali ki ha tali. Naʻe lau ia ʻe Veni Piuleni peá ne mata ʻita. Naʻá ne tali taʻefiemālie ange, “Ke tokoni atu? ʻE anga fēfē haʻaku tokoni atu?”[28]

Ne moʻutāfuʻua ʻa Siosefa ʻo ʻikai ke ne ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻene tali ʻe faí.[29] Ne ʻikai ke ne ʻamanaki ʻe fuʻu vave pehē hono fakasītuʻaʻi kinautolu ʻe he palesitení. Naʻá ne kole mo ʻIlaiase ki he palesitení ke ne lau pē muʻa ʻa e tangi ʻa e Kāingalotú kimuʻa peá ne toki fakakaukau ke taʻetali ʻenau kolé.

Naʻe kikihi ange pē ʻa e palesitení ʻo pehē, “ʻE kau tangata he ʻikai pē ke u lava ʻo tokoni atu. “Kapau te u poupouʻi kimoutolu, ʻe hangē pē ia haʻaku tauʻi ʻa e vahefonua Mīsulí hono kotoa, pea he ʻikai fili ʻe he vahefonua ko iá au ʻi he fili hono hokó.”[30]

Naʻe foki ʻa Siosefa mo ʻIlaiase mei he ʻapi fakapalesitení pea naʻá na ʻave ʻena tohi tangí ki he Fale Aleá mo e loto-mamahi ʻi heʻena ʻiloʻi ʻe hili ha ngaahi uike pea toki lau ia ʻe he kau faʻu laó mo aleaʻi iá.[31]

Naʻe tūʻuta ʻa Uilifooti Utalafi mo Sione Teila ki Livapulu, ʻIngilani ʻi he ʻaho 11 ʻo Sānuali, 1840.

Naʻe taʻefiemālie ʻa Siosefa ki he hingoa Komesí, naʻá ne fakahingoa foʻou ai ʻa e feituʻú ko Nāvū ʻi he taimi pē naʻá ne tuʻuta aí.

Ka naʻe hoko hono langa ha koló mo hono tokangaʻi ʻo e ngaahi fie maʻu fakatuʻasino ʻa e siasí ke toʻo ai ha konga lahi ʻo e taimi ʻa Siosefá.

ʻI he fakaʻau ke kakato e ngāue ki Nāvuú, naʻe kamata ke fakakaukau ʻa Siosefa ki hono tānaki fakataha [ʻa e Kāingalotú].

ʻE hoko mai ʻamui ʻa e ngaahi ouau fakatemipale mo e ngaahi moʻoni fakalaumālie kehé.

ʻI he talaʻofa ange ʻe he ʻEikí ʻe totongi ʻenau ngāue faivelengá mo e talangofuá, naʻá Ne naʻinaʻi ki he Kāingalotú ke nau ngāue ʻaki honau tūkuingatá ki [hono langa ʻo e] temipalé.

Ueʻi Kinautolu ke nau Fakataha

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu failau ʻo e 1841, ne sio fakaʻosi ai ʻa Mele ʻAna Tēvisi ki he fofonga hono husepānití kimuʻa pea tāpuni hono puha maté ke hiki atu ʻe hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ʻa hono sinó ki ha potu longonoa ʻo ha faʻitoka fakasiasi ʻi Teli, ʻIngilani. Naʻe kei siʻi mo longomoʻui pē ʻa Sione Tēvisi ʻi he taimi naʻá ne mālōlō aí, naʻá ne kei taʻu uofulu mā nima pē. ʻI he tuʻu ʻa Mele ʻi hono kofu ʻuliʻulí ʻo siofi ʻa hono hiki atu ʻe he kau tangatá ʻa e puha maté, naʻe fakafokifā pē ʻene ongoʻi tuenoá, naʻá ne toe tokotaha pē ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí ʻi he koló.

Naʻe mate ʻa Sione koeʻuhí ko ʻene tuí. Naʻá na fetaulaki mo Mele ʻi ha fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi ha taʻu ʻe taha kimuʻa, ko e hili ia hono papitaiso ʻe Uilifooti Utalafi ha toko lau ngeau ʻo e siasi Kāinga kuo Fakatahatahaʻí ne ofi ki Hiafootisaeá. Naʻe ʻikai ke na kau mo Sione ki he siasi Kāinga kuo Fakatahatahaʻí, ka naʻe vave e mafola ʻa e ongoongolelei kuo toe fakafoki maí ʻi he feituʻu ko iá, ʻo ne tohoakiʻi mai ai e tokanga ʻa ha kakai tokolahi.[1]

Naʻe fakaʻatā ʻe Mele mo Sione hona ʻapí ki he kau faifekaú ko e ʻamanaki ʻe fokotuʻu ha faiʻanga lotu ʻi he feituʻu ko iá. Naʻe tupu ʻa e misiona Pilitāniá ʻo toe tokolahi ange, pea hili pē ha taʻu ʻe fā, naʻe toko ono afe tupu ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻi ʻIngilani mo Sikotilaní.[2] Naʻe aʻu pē ki Lonitoni ki he feituʻu ne feʻauʻauhi ai e kau malanga he veʻehalá ki ha ngaahi laumālié, naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻe he kau faifekaú ha kolo ne meimei toko fāngofulu e Kāingalotu ne kau ki aí, pea naʻe tataki ia ʻe ha faifekau kei siʻi mei ʻAmelika ko Lolenisou Sinou.[3]

Ka neongo iá, naʻe kei mālohi pē e fakafepakí ʻi he funga ʻo e fonuá. ʻI he meimei kolo kotoa pē, naʻe vevea e veʻehalá ʻi he fanga kiʻi tohi tufa ne talaki ai e faʻahinga kehekehe ʻo e tui fakalotú.[4] Ko hanau niʻihi ko ha fanga kiʻi tohi tufa ia mei he ʻIunaiteti Siteití ki hono fakafepakiʻi e Māmongá ʻa ia naʻe fakaangaʻi ai ʻa e Kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí .[5]

ʻI he fakaʻamu ʻa Paʻale Pālati ke fakatonutonu e ngaahi lipooti halá, naʻá né kamata tohi ai ʻene fanga kiʻi tohi tufa pē ʻaʻana mo ʻētita ha nusipepa fakamāhina ko e Latter-day Saints’ Millennial Star, ʻa ia naʻe paaki ai ʻa e ongoongo mei he Kāingalotu ʻi Nāvū mo Pilitāniá. Naʻe fokotuʻutuʻu foki ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi ke paaki ha tohi himi mo e Tohi ʻa Molomona maʻá e Kāingalotu ʻi Pilitāniá.[6]

ʻI Telí, naʻe fehangahangai ʻa Mele mo Sione mo e fakafepakí ʻi he taimi pē ne kamata malanga ai ʻa e kau faifekaú ʻi hona ʻapí. Naʻe faʻa tuʻu mai ha kau tangata angakovi ʻo veuveuki ʻa e fakatahá mo tuli e kau faifekaú. Naʻe fakaʻau pē ke toe kovi ange ʻo aʻu pē ki ha ʻaho ʻe taha ne hanga ʻe he kau tangatá ʻo tukiʻi ʻa Sione ʻo tō ki he falikí pea nau ʻaka tavale ia. Ne ʻikai pē ke toe maʻu [ʻe Sione] ha moʻui lelei. Hili ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻá ne tō kovi ʻo ne lavea pea kamata ke ne tale toto mai. Naʻe feinga ʻa e kau faifekaú ke nau ʻaʻahi ki he ongomātuʻá, ka naʻe hanga ʻe he ngaahi kaungāʻapi anga fītaʻá ʻo tuli kinautolu. Naʻe ʻikai ke lava ʻa Sione ke ne toe tuʻu mei he mohengá, pea naʻe fakaʻau ke vaivai ange hono sinó ʻo aʻu pē ki heʻene mālōlō.

Hili e meʻafakaʻeikí, ne fakakaukau ʻa Mele ke ne kau ʻi he fakataha ki Nāvuú. Naʻe fanongonongo ʻe ha kau ʻaposetolo tokolahi, ʻo kau ai ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi mo Hiipa Kimipolo, te nau foki ki ʻapi ʻi he faʻahitaʻu failau ko iá, pea te nau omi fakataha mo ha kulupu tokolahi ʻo ha Kāingalotu Pilitānia. Naʻe palani ʻa Mele ke ne ʻalu ki ʻAmelika Tokelau mo ha kulupu tokosiʻi ʻo e Kāingalotú.

Koeʻuhí ko ia tokotaha pē ʻoku kau ki he siasí ʻi honau fāmilí, naʻe ʻaʻahi ai ʻa Mele ki heʻene ongomātuʻá mo e toenga e fānaú ke lea māvae kiate kinautolu. Naʻá ne ʻamanaki ʻe fakafepakiʻi ia heʻene tamaí, ka naʻe ʻeke ange pē [heʻene tamaí] pe ʻe mavahe fakakū pea ko e vaka fē ʻe ʻalu aí.

ʻI he ʻaho ne mavahe ai ʻa Mele ki he kolo taulanga ʻo Pilisitoló, naʻá ne puke he naʻá ne ongoʻi loto-mamahi. ʻI heʻene fakalaka hake ʻi he falelotu naʻá ne mali ai mo Sione ʻi he ngaahi māhina siʻi kimuʻá, naʻá ne fakakaukau ki he meʻa kotoa pē kuo hoko talu mei he taimi ko iá.

Kuó ne hoko ʻeni ko ha uitou taʻu uofulu mā fā, pea ʻokú ne ʻalu tokotaha ki ha fonua foʻou ʻi he loto-fakapapau te ne maʻu ʻa e tufakanga tatau mo e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá.[7]

ʻI Nāvuú, naʻe tangutu ʻa e ʻētita nusipepa ko Tōmasi Sāpá ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi ha funga siteisi peá na vakai atu ki ha Kāingalotu tokolahi ʻe toko lau afe. Ko e ʻaho 6 ia ʻo  ʻEpeleli, 1841, ko e taʻu hongofulu mā taha ia ʻo e siasí pea ko e ʻuluaki ʻaho ia ʻo e konifelenisi lahí. Naʻe ifi ha kau tā meʻaifi palasa ʻi he fakatahaʻangá. ʻI ha lau momeniti, ʻe fakamanatua ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e ʻaho mahuʻingá ʻaki hano tanupou e makatuliki ʻo ha temipale foʻou.

Naʻe ʻikai ke kau ʻa Tōmasi ki honau siasí, ka naʻe fakaafeʻi ia ʻe he pule fakavahe ʻo Nāvū ko Sione Pēnetí ke ne kau fakataha mo e Kāingalotú.[8] Naʻe ʻikai faingataʻa ke mateʻi hono ʻuhingá. Koeʻuhí ko e ʻētita ia ki he nusipepá, ʻe malava pē ʻe Tōmasi ke ne faʻu pe maumauʻi ha ongoongo ʻaki ha ngaahi lea siʻi pē, pea naʻe ʻomi ia ki Nāvū ko ha taha mālohi ke faʻahi mo ia.

Naʻe foʻou ʻa Tōmasi ki he feituʻu ko iá ʻo hangē pē ko e Kāingalotú. Ne teʻeki hokosia hono taʻu uofulu mā tolú, pea naʻá ne haʻu fakahihifo ʻi he taʻu kimuʻa aí ke ako loea ʻo ne nofo ʻi he kolo ko Uoasoá, ʻa ia ʻoku meimei ʻaho ʻe taha e fononga ki aí mei he fakatonga ʻo Nāvuú. Ne hili pē ha ngaahi māhina ʻo ʻene tūʻutá, naʻá ne hoko ko e ʻētita ki ha nusipepa ʻoku ʻikai ko ha nusipepa Māmonga ʻa ia naʻá ne maʻu ai hono ongoongo ki heʻene faʻu tohi olopotó.[9]

Naʻe ʻikai ke ne tokanga ki he ngaahi akonaki ʻa e Kāingalotú pea naʻá ne mālieʻia siʻisiʻi pē ʻi heʻenau mateakiʻi ʻenau tuí.[10] Ka kuo pau ke ne tala moʻoni naʻe mālie ʻaupito ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko he ʻaho ní.

Naʻe kamata ʻaki ha fana ʻone leʻolahi pea hoko atu ki he laka ʻa e kau sōtiá, ʻa ia naʻe ui ko e Kongatau Nāvuú, ʻa ia naʻe ʻi ai ha kau tangata ʻe toko 650. Naʻe tui ʻe Siosefa Sāmita mo Sione Pēneti ʻa e teunga lanu pulū mo e koula ʻo e kau ʻōfisa fakakautaú, ʻo na taki e laka ʻa e Kongataú ʻi he loto koló ʻo aʻu hake ki he lilifá ki he fakavaʻe ʻo e temipalé naʻe toki kelí. Naʻe fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa Tōmasi ʻaki ʻenau ʻave ia ke ofi ki he ʻotu muʻá, ʻo ʻikai ke loko mamaʻo meia Siosefa mo ʻene kau sōtia fakafeʻaó.[11]

Naʻe kamata ʻe Sitenei Likitoni ʻa e ouau tanupoú ʻaki haʻane lea houa ʻe taha fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ne fehangahangai mo e Kāingalotú mo ʻenau ngaahi ngāue ke langa ha ngaahi temipalé. Hili e leá, naʻe tuʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻo fakahinohino ki he kau ngāué ke tukutukuhifo ʻa e fuʻu maká ʻi he tuliki fakatonga-hahake ʻo e fakavaʻé.

Naʻá ne pōpoaki ʻo pehē, “ʻOku fakatoka fakalelei ʻa e makatuliki ko ʻení ko hano fakafofongaʻi ʻo e Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ʻi hono fakalāngilangiʻi e ʻOtua māfimafí, koeʻuhí ke ʻi ai ha feituʻu maʻá e Kāingalotú ke nau moihū ai ki he ʻOtuá, pea ke maʻu ʻe he Foha ʻo e Tangatá ha potu ke tokoto ai Hono ʻulú.”[12]

Hili e kātoanga toputapú, naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻa Tōmasi mo e kau fakaafe fakalāngilangi kehé ki hono ʻapí ke nau maʻu meʻatokoni efiafi.

Naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Peiti lolotonga e fealeaʻaki ʻa Siosefa mo Luʻisa fekauʻaki mo e mali tokolahí.[23] Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa [kia Peiti], “ʻI heʻeku fakahā atu ʻeni kiate koé, kuó u tuku ai ʻeku moʻuí ki hoʻo ʻaofinimá. ʻOua naʻá ke lavakiʻi au ki hoku ngaahi filí, ʻo tatau ai pē kapau te ke tukulolo ki he filí.”[24]

Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa Tōmasi ki heʻene kau laukongá ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻe hoko ʻa e meʻa ʻokú ne loto ki aí ko ʻenau laó ia, ko e hā nai—ʻikai, ko e hā ʻe—hoko ki siʻo ngaahi totonú mo e faingamālie mahuʻingá?”[31]

Naʻe fakatuʻotuʻa ʻa Mele ʻe aʻu mai ʻene ongomātuʻá ke feʻiloaki mo ia ʻi heʻene mavahé. Ko e hā nai ha toe ʻuhinga ʻe fie ʻilo ai ʻene tamaí ki he hingoa ʻo ʻene vaká mo e feituʻu ʻe mavahe mei aí?

Te Tau Siviʻi ʻa Kinautolu

ʻI he ʻaho 5 ʻo Sānuali, 1842, naʻe fakaava ai ʻe Siosefa ha falekoloa ʻi Nāvū peá ne talitali fiefia ʻene kau fakataú. Naʻá ne faitohi ki hano kaungāmeʻa ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou manako ke ngāue maʻá e Kāingalotú pea hoko ko ha tamaioʻeiki ki he tokotaha kotoa pē, pea fakatuʻamelie ki hano hakeakiʻi au ʻi he taimi ʻoku finangalo ki ai ʻa e ʻEikí.”[1]

Naʻe nofoʻia maʻu pē ʻi he fakakaukau ʻa Siosefá ʻa e tokāteline ʻo e hakeakiʻí.[2] ʻI Fepuelí, naʻá ne kamata fakakaukau ai ki he takainga tohi faka-ʻIsipite naʻá ne fakatau mai ʻi Ketilaní mo e ngaahi tohi ʻa ʻĒpalahamé ne teʻeki ke ʻosi hono liliú.[3] Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he folofola foʻoú naʻe fekauʻi mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻEne fānaú ki he māmaní ke siviʻi ʻenau faivelenga mo e loto-fiemālie ke talangofua ki Heʻene ngaahi fekaú.

Naʻe folofola ʻe he ʻEikí kimuʻa pea faʻu ʻa e māmaní, “Te tau siviʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻi he meʻá ni, ke vakai pe te nau fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEiki ko honau ʻOtuá kiate kinautolú.” Ko kinautolu ko ia naʻe talangofua ki Heʻene ngaahi fekaú ʻe hakeakiʻi kinautolu ki ha nāunau maʻongoʻonga ange. Ko kinautolu ko ia ne nau fili ke ʻoua te nau talangofua ki he ʻOtuá, ne mole meiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki taʻengata ko ʻení.[4]

Naʻe fie tokoni ʻa Siosefa ki he Kāingalotú ke nau ako ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni ko ʻení kae lava ke nau aʻusia ʻa e hakeakiʻí pea hū ki he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻi Ketilaní, naʻe fakamālohia ʻe he meʻafoaki ʻo e mālohí ha kau tangata tokolahi ki he ngaahi pole ʻo e malaʻe ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekaú. Ka kuo talaʻofa ʻe he ʻOtuá te Ne foaki ha meʻafoaki fakalaumālie lahi ange ʻi he temipale Nāvuú. ʻI hono fakahā ʻa e ngaahi ouaú mo e ʻilo lahi ange ki he kakai tangata mo fefine faivelenga ʻi he siasí, ʻe hanga ʻe he ʻEikí ʻo ʻai kinautolu ke nau hoko ko e ngaahi tuʻi mo e kuini, kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau taulaʻeiki fefine, ʻo hangē ko ia ne kikiteʻi ʻe Sione Fakahā ʻi he Fuakava Foʻoú.[5]

Naʻe poupouʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá mo e ngaahi kaungāmeʻa falalaʻangá ke nau talangofua ki he ʻEikí ʻi heʻene teuteuʻi kinautolu ke nau maʻu ʻa e meʻafoaki ko ʻeni ʻo e mālohi fakalangí. Naʻá ne toe akoʻi foki mo e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻo e mali tokolahí ki ha niʻihi ʻo e Kāingalotú pea fakamoʻoni ki hono tupuʻanga fakalangí. ʻI he faʻahitaʻu māfana kimuʻa aí, hili ha mei uike ʻe taha mei he foki mai ʻa e kau ʻaposetoló mei ʻIngilani ki Nāvuú, naʻá ne akoʻi ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoní ki ha niʻihi ʻo kinautolu peá ne fekau ke nau talangofua ki ai he ko ha fekau ia mei he ʻEikí.[6] Neongo naʻe ʻikai fie maʻu ʻa e mali tokolahí ki he hakeakiʻí pe ko e meʻafoaki lahi ange ʻo e mālohí, ka naʻe fie maʻu ʻa e talangofua ki he ʻEikí mo ha loto-fiemālie ke fakatapui ʻa e moʻuí Maʻaná.

Naʻe ʻikai fie tauhi ʻe he kau ʻaposetoló ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni foʻoú ʻi he fuofua taimi ne nau fanongo ai ki aí, ʻo hangē pē Siosefá. Naʻe mamahi lahi ʻa Pilikihami ʻi he fili ko ia ke mali mo ha uaifi ʻe tahá, naʻá ne fakaʻamu ai ke ne mate vave. Naʻe loto ʻa Hiipa Kimipolo, Sione Teila mo Uilifooti Utalafi ke nau fakatoloi fuoloa ʻenau talangofuá.[7]

ʻI he muimui ʻa Siosefa ki he fekau ʻa e ʻEikí, naʻá ne sila ai mo ha kakai fefine kehe hili ʻene mali mo Luʻisa Peamaní. ʻI heʻene akoʻi ki ha fefine fekauʻaki mo e mali tokolahí, naʻá ne fekau ki he fefiné ke ne kole ha tataki fakalaumālie ke fakapapauʻi pe ʻoku totonu nai ke ne sila mo ia. Naʻe ʻikai ke tali ʻe he fefine kotoa pē ʻa ʻene fakaafé, ka naʻe tokolahi pē ha kakai fefine ne nau tali ia.[8]

ʻI Nāvuú, naʻe fakahoko ʻe ha Kāingalotu ʻe niʻihi ʻa e mali tokolahí ki taimi mo ʻitāniti, ʻa ia ko hono ʻuhingá ʻe tolonga ʻenau silá ʻi he moʻuí ni pea mo e moʻui ka hoko maí. ʻE lava ke kau ʻi he nofo-mali ko ʻení ʻa e ngaahi fetuʻutaki fakasekisualé mo e maʻu fānaú, ʻo hangē pē ko e nofo-mali ʻa ha fefine mo ha tangata pē ʻe tahá (monogamous). Ko e mali tokolahi ʻe niʻihi naʻe toki hoko pē ia ʻi ʻitāniti, pea naʻe mahino pē kiate kinautolu ne nau kau ki aí ʻe toki fakahoko pē ia ʻi he moʻui ka hoko maí.[9]

ʻI ha tūkunga ʻe niʻihi, ʻe lava ʻe ha fefine naʻe mali ki ha tokotaha ne fehiʻa ki he Siasí, pe ko ha tangata taʻesiasi, pe ko ha mēmipa faivelenga pē ʻo e siasí ʻo sila mo ha tangata ʻe taha ki he taʻengatá. Hili ʻa e ouau silá, naʻe kei nofo pē ʻa e fefiné mo hono husepāniti ne na lolotonga nofo-malí ka ʻi he taimi tatau ʻokú ne fakatuʻamelie ki he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e mali taʻengatá mo e hakeakiʻí ʻi he moʻui ka hoko maí.[10]

ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo e 1842, ne fokotuʻu ʻe Siosefa ʻa e fakakaukau ko ʻeni ʻo e silá kia Mele Laitina, ʻa ia naʻe taʻesiasi hono husepāniti ko ʻĀtamá. Lolotonga ʻena talanoá, naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa kia Mele naʻe fekau ʻe he ʻEikí ke silaʻi fakataha kinaua ki he moʻui ka hoko maí.[11]

Naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe Mele, “Kapau naʻe folofola atu ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate koe, ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai ai ke Ne folofola mai kiate aú?”

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Siosefa, “Lotu fakamātoato, he naʻe talamai ʻe he ʻāngeló kiate au ʻoku totonu ke ʻi ai haʻo fakamoʻoni.”[12]

Naʻe ongoʻi taʻefiemālie ʻa Mele ki he fakaafe ʻa Siosefá. ʻI hono akoʻi ʻe Siosefa kia Mele fekauʻaki mo e mali tokolahí, naʻá ne fakamatalaʻi ange ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki taʻefakangatangata ʻo e fuakava ʻo e mali taʻengatá.[13] ʻI he taimi naʻe mali ai ʻa Mele mo ʻĀtamá, naʻá na fai ha ngaahi palōmesi ne ngata pē ʻi he moʻui ko ʻení. Naʻe mahino leva kia Mele he taimí ni he ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo fai ha ngaahi fuakava taʻengata mo ʻĀtama kae ʻoua kuó ne loto ke papitaiso ia ʻi he mafai totonú.[14]

Naʻe talanoa ʻa Mele kia ʻĀtama fekauʻaki mo e papitaisó, ʻo ne kole kiate ia ke ne kau ki he siasí. Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻĀtama ʻokú ne fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻa Siosefa ka ʻoku ʻikai ke ne tui ki he ongoongolelei kuo toe fakafoki maí pea he ʻikai pē ke papitaiso ia.[15]

Koeʻuhí naʻe fakaʻānaua ʻa Mele ki he ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e mali taʻengatá, ka naʻá ne ʻiloʻi he ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo maʻu ia mo ʻĀtamá, naʻá ne fifili ai pe ko e hā e meʻa te ne faí. Naʻe moʻutāfuʻua ʻene fakakaukaú. Naʻe faifai peá ne kole ki he ʻEikí ke ne ʻomi ha ʻāngelo ke fakapapauʻi ange kiate ia naʻe totonu ʻa e fakaafe ʻa Siosefá.[16]

ʻI ha pō ʻe taha, lolotonga ʻene nofo mo hono mehikitangá, naʻe sio ʻa Mele ki ha maama naʻe ulo mai ʻi hono lokí. ʻI heʻene tangutu hake ʻi he mohengá, naʻá ne ʻohovale ʻi heʻene sio ki ha ʻāngelo teunga hina naʻe tuʻu ʻi hono tafaʻakí. Naʻe ngingila mo fakaʻofoʻofa ʻa e fofonga ʻo e ʻāngeló, pea naʻe mahuhuhuhu ʻa e sio hono matá ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhilá.

ʻI heʻene ilifiá, naʻe pūlou ʻa Mele ʻi he kafú, pea naʻe mavahe ʻa e ʻāngeló.

ʻI he Sāpate hono hokó, naʻe ʻeke ʻe Siosefa kia Mele pe kuó ne maʻu nai ha tali.

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Mele, “Naʻe teʻeki ke u maʻu ha fakamoʻoni, ka naʻá ku mamata ki ha meʻa kuo teʻeki ke u mamata ki ai kimuʻa. Naʻá ku mamata ki ha ʻāngelo pea naʻá ku meimei mate he ilifiá. Naʻe ʻikai ke u lava ʻo lea.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosefa, “Ko ha ʻāngelo ia ʻa e ʻOtua moʻuí. Kapau te ke faivelenga, te ke mamata ki ha ngaahi meʻa ʻoku māʻongoʻonga ange ai.”[17]

Naʻe hoko atu e faʻa lotu ʻa Melé. Naʻá ne mamata ki ha ʻāngelo, pea naʻe fakamālohia ai ʻene tui ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Siosefá. Pea naʻá ne maʻu mo ha ngaahi fakamoʻoni fakalaumālie kehe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho hono hokó ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo fakaʻikaiʻi pe tukunoaʻi. ʻE kei hoko pē ʻa ʻĀtama ko hono husepāniti ʻi he moʻui ko ʻení, ka naʻá ne fie maʻu ke fakapapauʻi te ne maʻu ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki kotoa pē ʻoku totonu ke ne maʻu ʻi he moʻui ka hoko maí.[18]

Naʻá ne tali ʻa e fakaafe ʻa Siosefá, pea naʻe silaʻi kinaua ʻe Pilikihami ʻIongi ki he moʻui ka hoko maí.[19]

Naʻe fekau ʻe Siosefa kia Sione Teila mo Uilifooti Utalafi ke na kamata hono pulusi ʻa e liliu ʻa e palōfitá ki he tohi ʻa ʻĒpalahamé ʻi he ngaahi tatau ʻo e Times and Seasons ki Māʻasi 1842, Ko e taimi naʻe lau ai ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e lekōtí, naʻa nau fiefia ke ʻiloʻi ha ngaahi moʻoni foʻou fekauʻaki mo e fakatupu ʻo e māmaní, ko e taumuʻa ʻo e moʻuí, mo e ikuʻanga taʻengata ʻo e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻa nau ʻiloʻi naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻĒpalahame ʻa e ʻŪlimí mo e Tūmemí pea naʻá ne fefolofolai mata ki he mata mo e ʻEikí. Naʻa nau lau fekauʻaki mo e māmaní pea ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi aí naʻe tomuʻa fokotuʻutuʻu ia mei muʻa ke fakahoko ʻaki ʻa hono hakeakiʻi ʻo e fānau fakalaumālie ʻa e Tamaí.[20]

Lolotonga e fiefia ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi hono pulusi ʻo e tohi ʻa ʻĒpalahamé mo e tokāteline naʻá ne akoʻi ʻe malava ke tupulaki ai ha laumālié, naʻa nau kei hokohoko atu pē ke fai feilaulau ke langa hake honau kolo foʻoú pea mo langa e temipalé.

ʻI he taimi ko ʻení, kuo aʻu ʻo laui afe tupu ʻa e fale ʻakau ʻi Nāvuú mo ha ʻū fale papa mo e fale piliki ne ʻosi langa pe kei lolotonga langa.[21] Ke fokotuʻutuʻu ʻa e koló, naʻe vahevahe ia ʻe Siosefa ki ha ʻiuniti ʻe fā ne ui ko e ngaahi uooti pea fili mo ha kau pīsope ke nau tokangaʻi ia. Naʻe pau ke tokoni ʻa e uooti kotoa pē ki hono langa ʻo e temipalé ʻaki ʻenau ʻomi ha kakai ke ngāue ʻi he fale ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi he ʻaho hono hongofulu kotoa pē.[22]

Naʻe siofi pē ʻe Makeleta Kuki, ko ha fefine teʻeki mali naʻá ne ngāue ko ha fefine tuitui ʻi Nāvū, ʻa e ngāue ki hono langa ʻo e temipalé. Naʻá ne ngāue maʻa Sala Kimipolo, ko e taha ʻo e kau fuofua papi ului ki he siasí, ʻa ia naʻá ne mali mo ha tangata fefakatauʻaki koloa naʻe ʻikai ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí.

Lolotonga e ngāue ʻa Makeletá, naʻá na faʻa talanoa mo Sala fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi ngāue ke langa ʻa e temipalé. Naʻe kei lau fute pē ʻa e maʻolunga ʻo e holisí, ka naʻe ʻosi kamata langa ʻe he kau tufungá ha feituʻu fakataimi ʻi he konga ki lalo ʻo e temipalé ʻo fokotuʻu ai ha faiʻanga papitaiso lahi ke fakahoko ai e papitaiso maʻá e kau pekiá. Ko e faiʻanga papitaisó naʻe fuopotopoto fuolōloa naʻe ngaohi ʻaki e papa painí pea naʻe hilihili ia ʻi he tuʻa ʻo ha fanga pulu ukamea ʻe hongofulu mā ua naʻe tā tongitongi pea teuteuʻi lelei. ʻI he hili pē hono fakatapui ʻo e faiʻanga papitaisó, naʻe kamata leva hono toe fakahoko ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e papitaiso maʻá e kau pekiá.[23]

ʻI he loto-vekeveke ʻa Makeleta ke tokoni ki hono langa ʻo e temipalé, naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi ko e tokolahi ʻo e kau ngāué naʻe ʻikai loko lelei honau suú, talausesé, mo e soté. Naʻá ne fokotuʻu ange kia Sala ke na ngāue fakataha ke ngaohi ha ʻū sote foʻou maʻá e kau ngāué. Naʻe talaange ʻe Sala te ne lava ʻe ia ʻo kumi ʻa e nāunau ki he soté kapau ʻe fai ʻe Makeleta ʻa e tuituí. Te na lava foki ʻo kole tokoni ki he kau fefine kehe ʻi Nāvuú mo fokotuʻutuʻu ha kautaha ke ne puleʻi e ngāué.[24]

Hili ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe Sala ha kakai fefine e toko hongofulu tupu ki hono ʻapí ke aleaʻi ʻa e kautaha foʻoú. Ne nau kole kia ʻIlisa Sinou, ʻa ia naʻe talēniti ki he faitohí, ke ne faʻu ha konisitūtone. Naʻe kamata ngāue leva ʻa ʻIlisa ki hono faʻu ʻo e fakamatalá peá ne fakaʻaliʻali ia ki he palōfitá ʻi he taimi naʻe ʻosi aí.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ko e konisitūtone lelei taha ia ʻi hono faʻahingá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Ka ʻoku ʻikai ko e meʻa ʻeni ʻoku mou fie maʻú.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “Te u fokotuʻu e houʻeiki fafiné ʻi he malumalu ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻi he sīpinga ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.[25] Kuó u maʻu ʻeni ʻa e kī ke fai iá.”[26]

ʻI he Tuʻapulelulu hono hokó, ʻaho 17 ʻo Māʻasi, 1842, naʻe kaka hake ʻa ʻEma Sāmita ki he loki lahi ʻi ʻolunga ʻi he falekoloa ʻa Siosefá. Naʻe ʻi ai ha kakai fefine ʻe toko hongofulu mā hiva, ʻo kau ai ʻa Makeleta Kuki, Sala Kimipolo mo ʻIlisa Sinou, ne nau omi ke fokotuʻu e kautaha foʻoú. Naʻe ʻi ai foki mo Siosefa mo Uiliate Lisiate, ʻa ia ne kamata ngāue ko e tangata tohi ʻa Siosefá hili ʻene foki mai mei ʻIngilaní, pea mo Sione Teila.[27]

Ko e fefine siʻisiʻi taha ne kau ki he fakatahá ko ha finemui taʻu hongofulu mā nima ko Sōfia Makisi. Ko e motuʻa tahá ko Sela Kilivileni naʻe taʻu nimangofulu mā fā.

Naʻe feʻilongaki lelei ʻa e kau fefiné. Ko Filinitā Meliki mo Tesitimona Fulimaá naʻá na hao moʻui mei he tāmate fakatokolahi ne fai ʻi he Fahiʻanga Papa Hauní.

Naʻe fakatou tokoniʻi ʻe Sela Kilivileni mo e Ane Uitenī ʻa ʻEma ʻi he ngaahi taimi faingataʻa ʻo ʻene moʻuí, ʻo na talitali lelei ia mo hono fāmilí ki hona ʻapí ʻi he taimi ne ʻikai ha toe feituʻu ke nau hao ki aí. Naʻe nofo totongi ʻa ʻElevila Kauli ʻi he ʻapi ʻo ʻEmá pea naʻá ne tokoni ki hono tauhi e fānau [ʻa ʻEmá].[28]

Naʻe saiʻia ʻa ʻEma ʻi he fakakaukau ko ia ke fokotuʻu ha kautaha maʻá e kakai fefiné ʻi Nāvuú. Kimui maí, naʻe kau ʻa Siosefa mo e kau tangata kehe ʻi he koló ki ha kautaha fakatokoua naʻe ui ko e Freemasonry, ʻa ia naʻe tauhingoa ki he kau tangata Meisoni (Masons) hangē ko Hailame Sāmita mo Sione Pēneti ne na tokoni ki hono fokotuʻu e kautaha Meisoní (Masonic lodge) ʻi he koló. Ka ʻe maʻu ʻe he kakai fefine ʻi Nāvuú ha kalasi ʻe taha ʻo e kautahá.[29]

Hili hono hivaʻi ʻa e “ʻOku Vela ʻa e Loto ʻo e Tangatá” mo hono fai ʻe Sione Teila ʻa e fua lotú, naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Siosefa ʻo ne fakamatalaʻi naʻe fakataumuʻa ʻa e kautaha foʻoú ke fakalotolahiʻi e kakai fefiné ke nau fekumi mo tokoni ki he faingataʻaʻiá, fakahoko e fakatonutonu māʻoniʻoni ki he niʻihi ʻoku faihalá pea mo fakamālohia ʻa e koló.

Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEma naʻá ne saiʻia ange ʻi he foʻi lea “tokoni” (relief) ʻi he foʻi lea ko e “angaʻofa” (benevolent), ka naʻe fokotuʻu ange ʻe ʻIlisa Sinou ʻoku ʻuhinga ʻa e foʻi lea “tokoní” ki he tokoni makehe ki ha fakatamaki lahi. He ʻikai nai ke tokanga lahi ange ʻenau kautahá ki he ngaahi palopalema angamaheni ʻo e moʻui fakaʻahó?

Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEma, “Te tau fai ha meʻa ʻoku matuʻaki makehe. ʻI he taimi ʻe fihia ai ha vaka ʻi he hoú mo ha fuʻu kakai Māmonga tokolahi ʻoku heka ai, te tau lau ia ko ha ui ke tokoni. ʻOku tau ʻamanaki atu ki ha ngaahi meʻa lalahi mo makehe pea mo ha ngaahi ui tokoni fakavavevave.”

Naʻe hoko ʻene ngaahi leá ke longonoa ai ʻa e lokí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sione, “Te u tuku ʻatā ʻa e meʻa kuo fokotuʻu maí. ʻOku ʻuhingamālie hoʻo ngaahi fakaʻuhingá ʻoku ʻikai ai ke u lava ʻo fakafepakiʻi ia.”

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻEma kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku totonu ke vekeveke ʻa e mēmipa kotoa pē ke fai lelei.” ʻOku totonu ke fakaʻaiʻai ʻe he manavaʻofá ʻa ʻenau kautahá, ʻo laka ange ia ʻi ha toe meʻa.

Kapau he ʻikai taʻofi ʻa e kau tangata ko ʻení, te nau iku ʻo hoko ko ha maka tukiaʻanga ki he Kāingalotú.

ʻI he ʻaho 31 ʻo Māʻasí, naʻe kole ai ʻe Siosefa kia ʻEma ke ne lau ha tohi ki he Fineʻofá ne faleʻi ai naʻe teʻeki ke fakangofua ʻe he kau maʻu mafai ʻo e siasí ha faʻahinga tōʻonga pehē.

Naʻe fie maʻu lahi ʻe Siosefa ke taau ʻa e Kāingalotú mo e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻo e hakeakiʻí.

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe he ouau foʻou naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻOtuá kia Siosefá ha ngaahi moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e hakeakiʻí.

Ka naʻe mahino ha meʻa ʻe taha: naʻe fakatuʻutāmaki e pule koló ki he koló mo e Kāingalotú, pea naʻe ongoʻi haʻisia ʻa Hailame ke taʻofi ia.

Ko e Faingataʻa Hono Fitú

ʻI he ʻaho 11 ʻAokosi, 1842, naʻe hā ʻi he fukahi vaí ʻa e huelo ʻo e māhiná ʻi he ʻaʻalo fakalongolongo atu ʻa Siosefa mo hono kaungāmeʻa ko ʻIlasitasi Tepí ʻi ha kiʻi vaka ʻi he vaitafe Misisipí. Naʻá na lava ʻo vakai atu ki muʻa ki he ongo motu ne tuʻu he vahaʻa ʻo Nāvū mo Monitilosé. ʻI heʻena ʻaʻalo atu he vahaʻa ʻo e ongo motú, naʻe sio e ongo tangatá ki ha vaka ʻe taha ne tau ʻi he matātahí peá na ʻaʻalo atu ki ai.[1]

Naʻe hola ʻa Siosefa mo Pota mei Nāvū ʻi he ʻaho kimuʻá ke hao mei hano puke kinaua, ʻi heʻena hohaʻa he ʻikai fakamāuʻi totonu kinauá. Naʻe fononga fakahahake ʻa Pota ke mavahe mei he vahefonuá kae fononga fakahihifo ʻa Siosefa ʻo kolosi he vaitafé ki he fale ʻo ʻene faʻētangata ko Sioné ʻi he Vahefonua ʻAiouaá, ʻo mamaʻo ia mei he vāhenga ʻa e polisi ʻIlinoisí mo ʻene kau tangatá. Naʻá ne toi ai ʻi he ʻahó kakato, ka naʻe kamata ke ne hohaʻa ke sio ki hono fāmilí mo e kaungāmeʻá.

ʻI he taimi ne tau ai e kiʻi vaka ʻo Siosefa mo ʻIlasitasí ki he motú, naʻe fakafetaulaki atu ʻa ʻEma, Hailame, mo ha niʻihi ʻo e kaungāmeʻa ofi ʻo Siosefá kiate kinaua. Naʻe puke ʻe Siosefa e nima ʻo ʻEmá pea fakafanongo ʻi he tangutu hifo ʻa e kulupú ʻi he vaká pea talanoa fakalongolongo ki he tūkunga ʻi Nāvuú.[2]

Naʻe lahi ange e fakatuʻutāmakí ʻi he meʻa ne ʻamanaki ki ai ʻa Siosefá. Ne fanongo hono kaungāmeʻá naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he kōvana ʻo ʻAiouaá ke puke pōpula ia mo Pota, ʻo ʻuhinga ia naʻe ʻikai malu ke toi ʻa Siosefa ʻi he fale ʻene faʻētangatá. Naʻa nau ʻamanaki atu he taimí ni ki ha kau polisi ʻi he ongo kauvai ʻo e vaitafé te nau fekumi kiate ia.

Ka naʻe kei tui pē e kaungāmeʻa ʻo Siosefá naʻe taʻefakalao e ngaahi feinga puke pōpulá, ko ha palani taʻeufi ʻa hono ngaahi fili ʻi Mīsulí ke puke ʻa e palōfitá. ʻI he taimi ní, ko e meʻa lelei taha pē ke fai ʻe Siosefá ke ne toi ʻi ha faama haʻane kaungāmeʻa ʻi he tafaʻaki ki mui ʻo e kauvai ʻIlinoisi ʻo e vaitafé pea tatali kae ʻoua kuo malona hifo.[3]

ʻI he mavahe ʻa Siosefa mei he motú, naʻe fonu hono lotó ʻi he houngaʻia. Naʻe liʻaki pea lavakiʻi ia ʻe he niʻihi kehe he taimi kotoa pē naʻá ne faingataʻaʻia ai. Ka naʻe omi e ngaahi kaungāmeʻa ko ʻení ke tokoniʻi ia ʻi he fakapoʻuli ʻa e poó, ʻi heʻenau fili ke tuʻu hono tafaʻakí mo e ngaahi moʻoni naʻá ne fakamahuʻingaʻí.

Naʻá ne fakakaukau ʻo pehē, “Ko hoku ngaahi tokoua kinautolu pea te u moʻui.”

Ka naʻá ne ongoʻi houngaʻia lahi tahá ʻia ʻEma. Naʻá ne fakakaukau ʻo pehē, “ʻOkú ne toe ʻi heni ʻi he faingataʻa hono fitú, naʻe taʻeilifia, tuʻu maʻu mo taʻeueʻia, taʻefeliliuaki, mo manavaʻofa ʻa ʻEma!”[4]

Naʻe fetuʻutaki maʻu pē ʻa ʻEma mo Siosefa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho mo e ngaahi uike hono hokó. ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻikai lava ai ke na fetaulakí, naʻá na fetohiʻaki. ʻI he taimi naʻá ne lava ai ʻo hola mei he kau polisi ne nau siofi iá, naʻá ne kau fakataha mo ia ʻi ha fale malu pea palani e meʻa hoko ke na faí. Naʻá ne faʻa fakahoko e ngaahi pōpoaki ʻa Siosefá ki he pea mei he Kāingalotú, ʻo fili e kakai ʻoku totonu ke ne falala ki aí mo fakamamaʻo meiate kinautolu ne nau taumuʻa ke fakamamahiʻi iá.[5]

ʻI he fakamanamana e kau polisí ke fekumi ʻi he fale kotoa pē ʻi ʻIlinoisi ʻo ka fie maʻu, naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa naʻe hohaʻa e Kāingalotú ʻe vavé ni hano maʻu ia pea fakafoki ki Mīsuli. Naʻe tapou ha niʻihi hono kaungāmeʻá ke hola ki he vaotā paini ʻi he fakatokelau ʻo ʻIlinoisí, ʻa ia naʻe fahi papa ai e Kāingalotú ki he temipalé.[6]

Naʻe fehiʻa ʻa Siosefa ʻi he fakakaukau ko ia ke holá, ʻo ne loto ke nofo ʻi ʻIlinoisi ke ʻosi e meʻa naʻe hokó. Ka naʻá ne loto fiemālie ke ne ʻalu ʻo kapau ko e meʻa ia ne loto ʻa ʻEma ke faí. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou malu ʻi he nofo mo koé. Kapau he ʻikai ke ke ʻalu mo e fānaú, he ʻikai ke u ʻalu au.”

Naʻá ne fakaʻamu ke ʻave hono fāmilí ki ha feituʻu kehe, neongo kapau ko ha kiʻi vahaʻataimi nounou pē. Naʻá ne talaange kia ʻEma, “ʻOku ou foʻi ʻi he angakovi, angamaʻulalo, mo e fulikivanu ʻo e ngaahi konga ʻo e sosaieti ʻoku tau nofo aí, pea ʻoku ou pehē kapau te u maʻu ha kiʻi māhina ʻe ono mo hoku fāmilí, ko e lelei taha ia kuó u maʻu ʻi he moʻuí.”[7]

Naʻe tali ʻe ʻEma ʻene tohí ʻi he konga kimui ʻo e ʻaho ko iá. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku ou mateuteu ke ʻalu mo koe kapau ʻoku fie maʻu ke ke mavahe, ka ʻoku ou maʻu ha loto-falala ʻe lava ke maluʻi koe kae ʻikai ke ke mavahe mei he fonuá ni. ʻOku lahi ha ngaahi founga ke tokangaʻi ʻaki koe.”[8]

ʻI he efiafi hono hokó, naʻá ne fai ha tohi ki he kōvana ʻo ʻIlinoisi ko Tōmasi Kāliní ʻo fakapapauʻi ange ʻa e taʻehalaia ʻa Siosefá. Naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi Mīsuli ʻa Siosefa ʻi he taimi naʻe fai ai e feinga fakapoó, naʻá ne fakamatala mahino, pea naʻá ne taʻehalaia ʻi he ngaahi tukuakiʻi ne fai kiate iá. Naʻá ne tui he ʻikai fakamāuʻi totonu ʻa Siosefa ʻi Mīsuli pea ʻe ngalingali ʻe tāmateʻi ia.

Naʻá ne tautapa ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou kole atu ke ke fakahaofi muʻa siʻeku fānau taʻehalaiá mei he mamahi ʻi heʻenau toe mamata ki heʻenau tamaí ʻoku fakahū taʻetotonu ki pilīsone pe tāmateʻi.[9]

Naʻe tali ʻa e kōvaná kia ʻEma ʻi ha taimi nounou mei ai. Naʻe anga fakaʻapaʻapa ʻene tohí mo fakalea lelei, ʻo pehē naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ʻene ngaahi ngāue kia Siosefá ʻi heʻene haʻisia ki hono fatongiá. Naʻá ne fakahā ʻene fakaʻamu ʻe tukulolo ʻa Siosefa ki he laó, pea ne ʻikai hā meiate ia naʻá ne loto fiemālie ke liliu ʻene fakakaukaú ʻi he tūkunga naʻe hokó.[10]

Ne ʻikai ʻunua ʻa ʻEma ʻi heʻene fai ha tohi hono ua, ʻo fakamatalaʻi e ʻuhinga naʻe taʻefakalao ai hono puke pōpula hono husepānití.

Naʻá ne fehuʻi ki he kōvaná, “Ko e hā ha lelei ʻe maʻu ʻe he vahefonuá ni pe ko e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, pe ko ha konga pē ʻo e vahefonuá ni pe ko e ʻIunaiteti Siteití, pe ko koe pe ko ha toe taha kehe, mei hono fakatangaʻi ko ʻeni ʻa e kakaí ni pe ko Misa. Sāmitá?”

Naʻá ne ʻave ʻa e tohí pea tatali ki ha tali.[11]

Lolotonga iá, naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he Kāingalotu tokolahi ʻi Nāvuú naʻe toitoi ofi mai pē ʻa Siosefa. Naʻe tui hanau niʻihi naʻá ne foki ki Uāsingatoni, DC.

Talu ʻene tūʻuta ki he koló, naʻá ne mali mo Pita Mōkani, ko e uitou kei siʻi naʻá na fetaulaki ʻi Ketilani, pea hoko ko e faʻē ki heʻene fānaú. Naʻa nau nofo totongi ʻi he ʻapi ʻo ʻOasoni Haití, ʻa ia naʻe kei ngāue fakafaifekau ki Selusalemá, pea nau fāinga ke kumi ha ngāue feʻunga ke tokangaʻi hona fāmilí.[13]

Naʻe lahi ha ngaahi ngāue ʻi Nāvū ki he kau ngāue fāmá mo e kau langa falé kae siʻisiʻi e ngaahi faingamālie ki he kau ngāue taukei hangē ko Pitá, ʻa ia naʻe nofo mo ngāue ʻi he ngaahi senitā keliʻanga lolo mo ngaohi koloa ʻo ʻIngilaní.

Naʻe mavahe ha ngaahi fāmili hiki fonua masiva ʻe niʻihi mei Nāvū ke kumi ha ngāue totongi lelei ange ʻi he ngaahi kolo kaungāʻapí, ka naʻe fili ʻa Mele mo Pita ke na nofo ʻi he koló pea ngāue ʻaki pē meʻa naʻá na maʻú.

ʻI he taimi naʻe foki ai ʻa Siosefa ki Nāvū ʻi he ʻaho 10 Sānuali, 1843, naʻe ʻaukolo atu hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá mo e kāingá ki honau ʻapí ke fakafeʻiloaki kiate ia. Taimi nounou pē mei ai, naʻe fakahoko ʻe ʻEma ha maʻu meʻatokoni efiafi ke fakafiefiaʻi ʻene ikuná mo e taʻu ʻe hongofulu mā ono ʻo ʻena nofo malí. Naʻe faʻu ʻe Uilisoni Lao mo ʻIlisa Sinou ha ngaahi hiva ki he meʻa naʻe hokó, pea naʻe tufa ʻe Siosefa mo ʻEma e meʻatokoní lolotonga ia e kakata mo fepōtalanoaʻaki e kau fakaafé.[1]

Naʻe fiefia ʻa Siosefa ʻi he feohi mo e niʻihi ʻoku ʻofa aí. “Naʻá ne pehē, “Kapau naʻe ʻikai ke u ʻamanaki atu ke toe sio ki heʻeku faʻeé, ngaahi tokouá, mo e tuofāfiné mo hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, ʻe tuʻu e tā hoku mafú.”[2] Naʻá ne nonga ʻi heʻene ʻiloʻi ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe he papitaiso maʻá e kakai moʻuí mo e kau pekiá, ʻenitaumení, mo e mali taʻengatá, ha ngaahi founga ki he Kāingalotú ke nau fai ai e ngaahi fuakava toputapu ʻokú ne silaʻi fakataha kinautolu mo fakapapauʻi ʻe ope atu honau vā fetuʻutakí ʻi he maté.

Naʻe poloka e Vaitafe Misisipí ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momoko ko iá, ʻo taʻofi ai e fefonongaʻaki angamaheni ʻa e fanga kiʻi vaká ʻi he vaitafé.

Naʻe lava ke vakai ʻa Pilikihami ne fakaongosia e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Hailame mo Uiliamí kia Siosefa. ʻI he Sāpate ʻe taha, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Pilikihami ʻene ngaahi ngāue efiafí, naʻe aʻu fakatuʻupakē atu ʻa Siosefa. Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “ʻOku ou fie maʻu ke ke ʻalu ki hoku ʻapí pea malanga.”

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “Misa Pilikihami, kapau he ʻikai ke ta ō he ʻikai ke u foki ki hoku ʻapí he pooni.”

Naʻe fakatoupīkoi ʻa Pilikihami ka naʻá ne loto lelei ke ʻalu ʻo malanga, pea naʻá ne lue mo e palōfitá ki ʻapi.

Naʻe ʻuhinga e foki mai ʻa ʻOasoni Haiti mei Selusalemá, ne pau ke hiki ʻa Pita mo Mele Mōkani mo hona fāmilí mei he ʻapi ʻo Haití ʻi Nāvuú. ʻI he ʻikai ha feituʻu ke nau nofo aí, naʻa nau nofo kemi ʻi ha konga kelekele he koló ne nau maʻu mei he kōmiti temipalé, ʻaki e mahino ko ia ʻe ngāue ʻa Pita ʻi he temipalé ke totongi e kelekelé.

Kuo Pau ke Hoko e ʻOtuá ko e Fakamāú

ʻI he ʻaho 1 ʻo Sune, 1843, naʻe lue ai ʻa ʻEtisoni mo Luʻisa Pālati mo hona ngaahi ʻofefiné ki he taha ʻo e ngaahi tauʻanga vaka sitima ʻi Nāvuú. Naʻe folau ʻa ʻEtisoni ʻi he ʻaho ko iá ki ha ngāue fakafaifekau taʻu tolu ki he ʻOtu Motu ʻo Hauaiʻí. Naʻá ne fua ʻa Ane, ko hona ʻofefine siʻisiʻi tahá, lolotonga ia ne muimui mata mamahi mai hono ngaahi taʻokete ko ʻEleni, Falanisisi mo Loisí, ʻi heʻenau taʻeoliʻia he ʻalu ʻenau tamaí.[1]

Lolotonga haʻane talanoa kimuí ni mai mo Pilikihami ʻIongi, naʻe talanoa ʻa ʻEtisoni kau ki Hauaiʻi pea mo e ngaahi taʻu naʻá ne hoko ai ko ha talavou toutai tofuaʻa ʻi he Tahi Pasifikí. Koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai e siasí ʻi he ʻotu motú, naʻe kole ʻe Pilikihami pe ʻe loto fiemālie ʻa ʻEtisoni ke ne fakaava ha misiona ai. Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEtisoni naʻá ne loto fiemālie ki ai kapau ʻe ʻi ai ha niʻihi kehe te nau ō. Taimi nounou pē mei ai, naʻe ui ia ʻe Siosefa mo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ke ne taki ha kulupu ʻo e kaumātuʻá ki he motú.[2]

Naʻe tangi ʻa Luʻisa ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe tolu ʻi heʻene ʻilo ki he ngāue ne vahe kia ʻEtisoní. Naʻe maile ʻe lauafe e mamaʻo ʻo Hauaiʻí, ʻi ha feituʻu ʻo e māmaní ne ngali kehe mo fakatuʻutāmaki. Naʻe ʻikai hano ʻapi tonu ʻi Nāvū, ʻikai ha paʻanga, pea mo ha kiʻi koloa siʻi pē ke fakafetongi. ʻE fie maʻu ʻe hono ngaahi ʻofefiné ha vala mo e ako, pea ka ʻikai ke ʻi ai ʻa ʻEtisoni, ʻe pau ke ne tokonaki e meʻa kotoa pē maʻanautolu.

ʻI he fononga ʻa Luʻisa mo hono fāmilí ki he vaka sitimá, naʻá ne kei loto vaivai pē, ka naʻá ne fiefia naʻe moʻui taau ʻa ʻEtisoni mo hono uiuiʻí. Naʻe ʻikai ko ia pē ʻa e fefine ʻi he koló ʻe tuenoa lolotonga e mavahe hono husepānití ke malanga ʻaki e ongoongoleleí. Naʻe mavahe ʻa e kau faifekaú ki he ngaahi feituʻu kehekehe ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá, pea naʻe fakapapau ʻa Luʻisa ke ne fehangahangai mo e ngaahi faingataʻá pea falala ki he ʻEikí.

Naʻe feinga ʻa ʻEtisoni ke mapuleʻi ʻene ngaahi ongo fakaelotó. ʻI heʻene kaka ki he vaka sitima te ne ʻave ia ʻo mamaʻo mei hono fāmilí, naʻá ne toʻo hake ha holoholo pea holo ʻaki hono loʻimatá. Naʻe kamata foki ke tangi hono ngaahi ʻofefiné ʻi he matātahí. Naʻe pehē ʻe Falanisisi naʻá ne fakakaukau he ʻikai te ne toe mamata kiate ia.[3]

ʻI hono ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻEtisoni e tahí, naʻe mahino kiate ia ʻa e ngaahi fakatuʻutāmaki ne hanganaki mai kiate iá. Ka ʻi he taimi naʻe vaheʻi ai ia ʻe he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ki heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú, naʻa nau tāpuekina ia ke ne maʻu ʻa e mālohi ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē pea ke ne loto-toʻa ʻi he ngaahi faingataʻá. Kapau naʻá ne faivelenga, naʻa nau talaʻofa ʻi he Laumālié, te ne toe foki malu ki hono fāmilí.[4]

ʻI ha ngaahi ʻaho mei ai, naʻe mavahe ʻa ʻEma, Siosefa, mo ʻena fānaú mei Nāvū ke ʻaʻahi ki he tokoua ʻo ʻEmá ʻi Tikisoni ʻIlinoisi, ko ha fononga lau ʻaho fakatokelau. Kimuʻa pea mavahé, naʻá ne tala kia ʻAna Uitenī ke ne poupouʻi e kau fefine ʻi he Fineʻofá ke hokohoko atu hono tokoniʻi e masivá pea ke tokoni ki he kau tangatá ʻi hono langa e temipalé.[5]

Naʻe toki leá ni ʻa Siosefa ki he Kāingalotú fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi ouau ʻo e temipalé, ʻi hono akoʻi kinautolu naʻa nau langa ia kae lava ke foaki ange ʻe he ʻEikí kiate kinautolu ʻa e ʻenitaumení. Naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻEma kia ʻAna naʻá ne ongoʻi mahuʻingaʻia lahi ʻi he temipalé talu mei ai peá ne loto ke aleaʻi ʻe he Fineʻofá e meʻa te nau lava ʻo fai ke fakavaveʻi ai e ngāué.

Naʻe fokotuʻu ange ʻe ʻEma, “Mahalo te tau talanoa ki he kōmiti temipalé pea ko e hā pē honau lotó mo e meʻa te tau lavá, te tau fai ia.”[6]

ʻI he fekaú ni, naʻe ui ai ʻe ʻAna ʻa e ʻuluaki fakataha ʻa e Fineʻofá ki he taʻú pea kole ki he kau fefiné ke nau fokotuʻu ange ha ngaahi founga ke tokoni ki he ngāue ki he temipalé. Naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi naʻa nau loto fiemālie ke kole ha ngaahi tokoni ʻofa pea tānaki ha vavae mo ha ngaahi meʻa kehe ke ngaohi ʻaki ha vala foʻou. Naʻe pehē ʻe he niʻihi ne nau loto fiemālie ke niti, tuitui, pe monomono ha ngaahi vala motuʻa ʻo ka fie maʻu. Naʻe fokotuʻu ange ʻe ha fefine ʻe taha ke kumi ha kulasi ʻo ʻave ki ha kau fefine matuʻotuʻa angé ke nau niti ha ngaahi sitōkeni maʻá e kau tangata ʻoku ngāue ʻi he temipalé ʻi he faʻahitaʻu momokó.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Poli Sitilingihemi mo Luʻisa Peamani te na ngaohi ha vala maʻá e kau ngāué. Naʻe pehē ʻe Mele Felisoa te ne lava ʻo foaki ha koa. Naʻe fokotuʻu ange ʻe Filinitā Sitenilī ke tānaki ha ʻakau (flax) ke ngaohi ʻaki e līnení pea foaki ha lita huʻakau he ʻaho kotoa pē ki he ngāué. Naʻe fie foaki mai ʻe ʻEseta Kini ha filo mei heʻene mīsini takai filó.

“ʻOku fiefia ʻa e kau ʻāngeló koeʻuhí ko kimoutolu!” Naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa Sisitā Seisi ʻo fakamālō ki he loto fiemālie ʻa e kakai fefiné ke tokoni ke langa e fale ʻo e ʻEikí.

Kimuʻa pea fakaʻosi e fakatahá, naʻe tapou ʻa ʻAna ki he ngaahi faʻē ʻi he lokí ke teuteuʻi honau ngaahi ʻofefiné ke nau hū ki he temipalé. Naʻá ne faleʻi ange ke nau hinoiʻi kinautolu ʻi he ʻofa pea akoʻi kinautolu ke nau anga molumalu mo angafakaʻapaʻapa ʻi loto ʻi hono ngaahi holisi toputapú.[7]

Naʻe fakahohaʻasi e ʻaʻahi ʻa e fāmili Sāmitá ki he tokoua ʻo ʻEmá ʻi ha ngaahi maile ʻe ua ngeau hono mamaʻó, ʻi he aʻu atu ʻa Uiliami Keleitoni mo Sitīveni Makihemi ʻi he ʻaho 21 ʻo Suné mo ha ongoongo fakatupu hohaʻa. Naʻe toe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he kōvana ʻo Mīsulí ke fakamāuʻi ʻa Siosefa ʻi Mīsuli, ko e taimi ko ʻení ko e tukuakiʻi motuʻa ki he talisoné, pea naʻe toe tuku mai ʻe Kōvana Footi ʻo ʻIlinoisí ha tohi fakamafai ki hono puke pōpula e palōfitá.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “ʻOku ʻikai te u manavahē. He ʻikai lava e kau Mīsulí ʻo fakamamahiʻi au.”[8]

ʻI ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, naʻe tukituki mai ʻi he matapaá ha ongo tangata naʻá na pehē ko ha ongo faifekau ʻo e Siasí, lolotonga e maʻu meʻatokoni efiafi ʻa e fāmilí. Naʻe talaange ʻe he tuongaʻane ʻi he fono ʻo ʻEmá naʻe ʻi mui ʻa Siosefa ofi ki he fale ʻo e fanga monumanú.

Hili ha ngaahi momeniti siʻi mei ai naʻe fanongo ʻa ʻEma mo e fāmilí ki ha longoaʻa ʻi tuʻa. ʻI heʻenau fakavave ki he matapaá, naʻa nau vakai ki he ongo tangata naʻá na fakahanga ha meʻafana ki he fatafata ʻo Siosefá. Naʻe puke ʻe he tangata ʻe taha ʻa Siosefa ʻi he kola hono soté. Naʻá ne pehē, “Ka ke ka toe fute hake te u fanaʻi koe!”

“Mo fana kimoua!” Ko e lea ia ʻa Siosefa ʻi heʻene hanga atu kiate kinauá. “ʻOku ʻikai te u ilifia au ʻi hoʻomo meʻafaná.”

Naʻe lele atu ʻa Sitīveni Makihemi ki tuʻa pea fakahangatonu atu ki he ongo tangatá. Naʻá na ʻohovale pea hanga hake mo ʻena meʻafaná kiate ia ka naʻá na toe fakahanga pē ia kia Siosefa, ʻo fakamanaʻi ʻaki e ongo ngutuʻi meʻafana hono vakavaká. Naʻá na kaila kia Sitīveni, “Tuʻu maʻu!”

Naʻá na fangatuaʻi ʻa Siosefa ki heʻena salioté pea puke ia ai. Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “Ongo tangata, ʻoku ou fie maʻu ha tohi fakamafai.” ʻE lava ke tala ʻe ha fakamaau fakalotofonua mei he tohi fakamafaí pe naʻe fakalao hono puke ʻo Siosefá.

Naʻá na pehē, “Meʻa tama ka koe!” pea toe taaʻi ʻaki ʻena meʻafaná hono vakavaká. “ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke ʻi ai haʻo tohi!”

Naʻe puna ʻa Sitīveni ki he salioté pea puke e piti ʻo e hōsí kae lele ʻa ʻEma ki fale ʻo toʻo mai e kote mo e tatā ʻo Siosefá. ʻI he momeniti ko iá, naʻe sio ʻa Siosefa ki ha tangata naʻe lue hake ʻi he veʻe falé. Naʻá ne kaila atu, “ʻOku puke fakamālohi au ʻe he ongo tangatá ni.” ʻI he lue pē ʻa e tangatá, naʻe tafoki ʻa Siosefa kia Sitīveni pea talaange ke ʻalu ʻo kumi tokoni.

Naʻá ne kaila, “ʻAlu!”[9]

Ko e ongo tangata naʻá na puke ʻa Siosefá ko ha ongo ʻōfisa polisi mei ʻIlinoisi mo Mīsuli. Naʻá na lokaʻi ia he hoʻatā ko iá ʻi ha fale ofi mai pea ʻikai ke na fakaʻatā ke sio ki ha fakafofonga lao. Naʻe ngāue fakavave ʻa Sitīveni ʻo lipooti e ngaohikovia ʻo Siosefá ki he kau maʻu mafai fakalotofonua, ʻa ia ne nau puke e ongo ʻōfisá ki he puke fakamālohi mo e ngaohikovia. Naʻe tokoni leva ʻa Sitīveni ke ʻomi ha tohi fakamafai mei ha taha ngāue ʻi he fakamaauʻanga ofi maí. Naʻe fie maʻu ʻi he tohi fakamafaí ke ʻalu ʻa Siosefa ki ha hopo ʻi ha maile ʻe ono ngofulu hono mamaʻó.

ʻI heʻenau ʻilo ko ia ne mavahe e fakamāú mei he koló, naʻe ʻalu ʻa Siosefa, ongo tangata naʻá na puke iá, mo e kau tangata naʻa nau puke e ongo tangatá ke kumi ha fakamaauʻanga ʻe taha ke solova ai e palopalemá ni.[10]

Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Uilisoni Lao mo Hailame ʻi Nāvū ki hono puke ʻo Siosefá pea nau uki ha kau tangata ʻe teau tupu ke nau fakahaofi ia. Naʻá na fekauʻi atu ha kau tangata ʻi ha vaka sitima he vaitafé kae fekauʻi e niʻihi kehé ke nau heka hoosi ki he feituʻu kotoa pē ʻo kumi e palōfitá.

ʻI he taimi naʻe ʻasi mai ai e ongo tangata fakahaofí, naʻe fiemālie ʻa Siosefa. Naʻá ne talaange ki he ongo tangata naʻá na puke iá, “He ʻikai ke u ʻalu ki Mīsuli. Ko ʻeku kau tangatá ʻeni.” Taimi nounou pē kuo toko uofulu e kau fakahaofí—pea toe tokolahi ange. Naʻa nau afe ki Nāvū, ʻa ia naʻa nau tui ʻe lava ʻe ha fakamaauʻanga ai ʻo tala e fakalao ʻa e tohi fakamafai ke puke pōpulá.[11]

Naʻe fakaofi atu e palōfitá ki he koló ʻi he hoʻatā mālié, kuo ʻātakaiʻi ʻe ha kau polisi mo hono kau fakahaofí ʻoku nau heka hoosi. Naʻe ʻalu ʻa ʻEma, ʻa ia ne ʻosi foki mo e fānaú ki Nāvuú, ke fakafetaulaki mo Hailame kia Siosefa ʻi he ifi ʻe he Kau Ifi Palasa ʻa Nāvuú ha ngaahi fasi mateakiʻi fonua pea fana ʻe he kakaí ha ngaahi meʻafana ʻi he fakafiefia. Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai kuo kau mai ha kau laka ʻi ha ngaahi saliote, ʻo toho ʻe ha fanga hoosi kuo teuteuʻi matalaʻi ʻakau.

Naʻe tuʻu e matangá ʻi he ongo kauhalá ke fakafiefiaʻi e toe foki hao mai e palōfitá ʻo fakalaka hake e laká ʻi muʻa ʻiate kinauá pea fononga māmālie ki he ʻapi ʻo Siosefá. ʻI heʻene aʻu ki aí, naʻe fāʻofua ʻa Lusi Sāmita ki hono fohá, pea fakavave atu ʻene fānaú ki tuʻa ke vakai kiate ia.

Naʻe pehē ʻe he taʻu fitu ko Feletilikí, “Pā, he ʻikai toe ʻave koe ʻe he kau Mīsulí?”

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa ʻi heʻene kaka ʻi ha funga ʻā ke lea ki he Kāingalotu ʻe laungeau ne haʻohaʻo mai kiate iá, “Fakamālō ki he ʻOtuá kuó u toe hao mei he nima ʻo e kau Mīsulí.” Naʻá ne tangi ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou fakamālō atu ʻi hoʻomou angaʻofa mo e ʻofa ʻiate aú. ʻOku ou tāpuekina kotoa kimoutolu ʻi he huafa ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.”[12]

Hangē ko ia ne nau ʻamanaki ki aí, naʻe fakahā ʻe he fakamaauʻanga Nāvuú ne taʻefakalao hono puke pōpula ʻo Siosefá. Naʻe ʻita lahi ʻa e ongo ʻōfisa naʻá na puke iá, ʻo fekau ke fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻi ʻe he kōvaná ʻa e tuʻutuʻuní. Ka naʻe ʻikai fie kaunoa ʻa Kōvana Footi ʻi he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e fakamaauʻangá, ʻo fakatupu ai ke ʻita e kau fakaanga ki he Siasí ʻi he kotoa ʻo e vahefonuá. Ne kamata ke nau manavasiʻi ʻe toe hao pē ʻa Siosefa mei he tauteá.[13]

Lolotonga iá, naʻe kei hokohoko atu pē e Kāingalotu ʻe laungeau ke fakataha ki Nāvū mo e ngaahi siteiki ofi ki aí. ʻI he vahefonua fakahahake ʻo Konekitikatí, naʻe heka vaka ha finemui ko Seini Meningi mo ʻene faʻeé mo e ngaahi tokouá mo e tuongaʻané, mo e kau mēmipa kehe ʻi hono koló ke kamata ʻenau fononga ki Nāvuú. Naʻe tataki kinautolu ʻe Sālesi Uaniteli, ko ha faifekau naʻe hoko ko honau palesiteni fakakoló.

Makehe mei he kau mēmipa kehe honau koló, naʻa nau hinehina kotoa, ka ko Seini mo hono fāmilí ko e Kāingalotu ʻuliʻuli tauʻatāina. Naʻe fāʻeleʻi mo ohi hake ʻa Seini ʻi Konekitikati pea naʻe ngāue he konga lahi ʻo ʻene moʻuí ki ha ongomātuʻa pālangi tuʻumālie. Naʻá ne kau ki ha siasi faka-Kalisitiane, ka naʻe ʻikai fuoloa kuó ne taʻefiemālie ai.

ʻI heʻene ʻilo ko ia naʻe malanga ha faifekau ʻo e Siasí ʻi he feituʻu ko iá, naʻá ne fakakaukau ai naʻá ne fie fanongo kiate ia. Naʻe talaange ʻe heʻene faifekaú ke ʻoua te ne fanongo ki he malangá, ka naʻe ʻalu pē ʻa Seini ia pea naʻe fakalotoʻi ia kuó ne maʻu e ongoongolelei moʻoní. Naʻe tuʻu e kolo lahi taha ʻi he feituʻú ʻi ha ngaahi lau maile siʻi pē mei ai, pea naʻe papitaiso pea hilifakinima ia ʻi he Sāpate hono hokó.[14]

Ne hoko ʻa Seini ko ha papi ului foʻou loto vēkeveke. Hili ha uike tolu hono papitaisó, naʻe foaki kiate ia e meʻafoaki ʻo e leá lolotonga haʻane lotu. ʻI he taimí ni, taʻu ʻe taha mei ai, naʻá ne fakataha mo hono fāmilí ki Saione.[15]

Naʻe fononga hao ʻa Seini mo hono fāmilí ʻi he kanalí ki Niu ʻIoke, ʻo ʻikai ha palopalema. Ne ʻamanaki leva ke nau fononga fakatonga mo honau koló ʻo fou ʻi ʻOhaiō ki ʻIlinoisi, ka naʻe ʻikai tali ʻe he kau ʻōfisa he kanalí ke hoko atu e fononga ʻa e fāmili Meningí kae ʻoua kuo nau totongi ʻenau fonongá.

Naʻe puputuʻu ʻa Seini. Naʻá ne fakakaukau he ʻikai fie maʻu ke ne totongi mo hono fāmilí kae ʻoua kuo nau aʻu ki ʻOhaiō. Ko e hā naʻe fie maʻu ai ke nau totongi he taimi ní? Naʻe ʻikai fie maʻu ke ʻuluaki totongi kimuʻa ʻa e kau mēmipa pālangi ʻo honau koló kimuʻa.

Naʻe lau ʻe he fāmili Meningí ʻenau paʻangá, ka naʻe ʻikai feʻunga ia ke totongi ʻenau fonongá. Naʻa nau kole tokoni kia ʻEletā Uaniteli, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne fie tokoniʻi kinautolu.

ʻI he mavahe atu e vaká pea puliá, naʻe siʻi e paʻanga ne maʻu ʻe Seini mo hono fāmilí pea toe ha ngaahi maile ʻe valu ngeau tupu pea nau toki aʻu ki Nāvuú. Naʻe ʻikai ha meʻa ka ko hono vaʻé pē ke nau lue fakahihifo, naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Seini ke ne taki e kiʻi kulupú ki Saione.[16]

ʻI he pongipongi ʻo e ʻaho 12 ʻo Siulaí, naʻe ʻi he ʻōfisi ʻo Siosefá ʻa Uiliami Keleitoni ʻi he hū atu e palōfitá mo Hailamé. Naʻe talaange ʻe Hailame kia Siosefa, “Kapau te ke tohi e fakahaá, te u ʻave ia pea lau ia kia ʻEma, pea ʻoku ou tui te u lava ʻo fakalotoʻi ia ki hono moʻoní, pea te ke maʻu leva ha nonga.”

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “ʻOku ʻikai ke ke ʻilo ʻa ʻEma ʻo lelei ange ʻiate au.” ʻI he faʻahitaʻu failau mo e faʻahitaʻu māfana ko iá, naʻe silaʻi ia ki ha kau fefine kehe, kau ai ha niʻihi siʻi ne fili fakataautaha ʻe ʻEma.[17] Ka naʻe ʻikai faingofua, ʻi he tokoni kia Siosefa ke fili hono ngaahi uaifí, ke talangofua ʻa ʻEma ki he tefitoʻi moʻoní.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Hailame, “ʻOku mahino ʻaupito e tokāteliné. Te u lava ʻo fakalotoʻi ha tangata pe fefine ki hono moʻoní, haohaoá, mo e tupuʻanga fakalangí.”

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “Tau toki vakai.” Naʻá ne kole kia Uiliami ke ne toʻo mai ha laʻipepa pea tohi ʻi heʻene lea ʻaki e folofola ʻa e ʻEikí.[18]

Naʻe fakahā foki ai e ngaahi makatuʻunga ʻokú ne puleʻi e mali tokolahí, ʻa ia naʻe ako ʻe Siosefa lolotonga ʻene liliu e Tohi Tapú ʻi he 1831.

Naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí kuo pau ke mali ha tangata mo e fefine ʻi he mafai ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, silaʻi ʻena fuakavá ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻo e Talaʻofá, pea faivelenga ki heʻena fuakavá, kae lava ke ope atu ha nofo-mali ʻi he maté. Ko kinautolu ʻoku nau maʻu e ngaahi tūkungá ni te nau maʻu e ngaahi tāpuaki nāunauʻia ʻo e hakeakiʻí.[19]

Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, “Pea te na hoko leva ko e ongo ʻOtua, koeʻuhí he ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai [haʻana] ngataʻanga. Te na māʻolunga ange leva ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, he ʻoku moʻulaloa kiate kinaua ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē.”[20]

Naʻe hoko atu e ʻEikí ke folofola kau ki he mali tokolahí mo ʻEne fuakava ke tāpuakiʻi ʻa ʻĒpalahame ʻaki ha hako taʻefaʻalaua koeʻuhí ko ʻene faivelengá.[21] Mei he kamataʻangá, naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e malí ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo ha tangata mo ha fefine ʻe taha ke fakahoko ʻEne palaní.

Neongo naʻe fakataumuʻa e fakahaá ki he Kāingalotú, ka naʻe fakaʻosi ia ʻaki ha faleʻi kia ʻEma fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi uaifi tokolahi ʻo Siosefá. Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, “Tuku ʻa ʻeku kaunanga ko ʻEma Sāmitá, ke ne tali ʻa kinautolu kotoa pē kuo foaki ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siosefá.” Naʻá Ne fekauʻi ia ke ne fakamolemoleʻi ʻa Siosefa, nofo mo ia, pea tauhi ʻene ngaahi fuakavá, ʻo talaʻofa ange ʻe tāpuekina mo tokolahi hono hakó pea ʻoange ha ʻuhinga ke ne fiefia ai kapau te ne fai ia. Naʻá Ne fakatokanga foki ki he ngaahi nunuʻa ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu ʻoku maumauʻi ʻenau ngaahi fuakavá pea talangataʻa ki he fono ʻa e ʻEikí.[23]

ʻI he ʻosi e tala-kae-tohi ʻe Siosefa e fakahaá, kuo hiki ʻe Uiliami ha peesi ʻe hongofulu. Naʻá ne tuku ki lalo e pení pea toe lau e fakahaá kia Siosefa. Naʻe pehē ʻe he palōfitá naʻe tonu ia, pea naʻe ʻave ia ʻe Hailame kia ʻEma.[24]

Naʻe foki ʻa Hailame ki he ʻōfisi ʻo Siosefá he ʻaho ko iá pea talaange ki hono tokouá kuo teʻeki ai ke tafuluʻi lahi pehē ia ʻi heʻene moʻuí. ʻI heʻene lau e fakahaá kia ʻEmá, naʻe kamata ke ne ʻita pea ʻikai ke ne tali ia.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “Naʻá ku talaatu naʻe ʻikai ke ke ʻilo ʻa ʻEma ʻo lelei ange ʻiate au.” Naʻá ne pelupelu e fakahaá pea faʻo ia ʻi hono kató.[25]

ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe Siosefa mo ʻEma ha taimi lahi ke na talanoa ai. ʻI ha taimi kimuʻa he hoʻataá, naʻe ui ʻe Siosefa ʻa Uiliami Keleitoni ki he lokí ke tokoni ke fakaleleiʻi kinaua.

Ka ʻi heʻena faifeinga ke tauhi e fekau ʻa e ʻEikí, naʻá na mavahevahe ai.[26]

Ne hangē naʻe hohaʻa ʻa ʻEma tautefito ki he kahaʻú. ʻE fēfē kapau ʻe ʻilo ʻe he ngaahi fili ʻo Siosefá ki he mali tokolahí? ʻE toe ʻave nai ia ʻo tuku pōpula? ʻE fakapoongi nai ia? Naʻá ne falala mo e fānaú kia Siosefa ke tokangaʻi kinautolu, ka naʻe fio e ngaahi meʻa fakapaʻanga ʻa e fāmilí mo e siasí. Te nau moʻui fēfē ʻo kapau ʻe ʻi ai ha meʻa ʻe hoko kiate ia?

Naʻe fetāngihi ʻa Siosefa mo ʻEma ʻi heʻena talanoá, ka ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo e ʻahó kuó na fakaleleiʻi ʻena palopalemá. Naʻe foaki ʻe Siosefa ha niʻihi ʻo e kelekelé kia ʻEma mo e fānaú ke ongoʻi malu fakapaʻanga ʻa ʻEma.[27] Pea hili e faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ko iá, naʻe ʻikai ke ne toe fakahoko ha ngaahi mali tokolahi.[28]

ʻI he fakaʻosinga ʻo ʻAokosi 1843, naʻe hiki e fāmili Sāmitá ki ha fale fungavaka ofi ki he vaitafé. Naʻe ui ia ko e Fale Menisoni Nāvuú, naʻe lahi feʻunga e ʻapí ke nofo ai ʻena fānau ʻe toko faá, faʻē toulekeleka ʻa Siosefá, mo e kakai ne nau ngāue mo nofo mo kinautolú. Naʻe palani ʻa Siosefa ke fakaʻaongaʻi e konga lahi ʻo e falé ko ha hōtele.[29]

Hili ha ngaahi uike siʻi mei ai, ʻi he ʻosi e faʻahitaʻu māfaná pea hoko mai e faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ʻi Nāvuú, naʻe aʻu atu ʻa Seini Meningi mo hono fāmilí ki he ʻapi ʻo Siosefa mo ʻEmá ʻo kumi e palōfitá mo ha feituʻu ke nau nofo ai. “Hū mai!” Ko ʻEma ia ki he kulupu ongosiá. Naʻe fakahā ange ʻe Siosefa e feituʻu te nau lava ʻo mohe ai ʻi he pō ko iá pea maʻu ha sea ki he tokotaha kotoa pē.

“Kuó ke taki mai e kiʻi kulupú ni, ʻikai ko ia?” Ko e lea ia ʻa Siosefa kia Seiní. “ʻOku ou loto ke ke fakamatala mai homou aʻusia ʻi homou fonongá.”

Naʻe fakahā ʻe Seini kia Siosefa mo ʻEma fekauʻaki mo ʻenau fononga mamaʻo mei Niu ʻIoké. Naʻá ne pehē, “Naʻa mau lue pē kae ʻoua kuo mahaehae homau suú pea kamata ke lavea homau vaʻé mo mafahifahi pea toto. Naʻa mau kole ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai Taʻengatá ke ne faitoʻo homau vaʻé, pea naʻe tali ʻemau lotú pea toe sai homau vaʻé.”

Ne nau mohe pē ʻi tuʻa pe ʻi ha ngaahi fale tukuʻanga monumanu he veʻehalá. Naʻe fakamanamana ha kau tangata ʻe niʻihi ʻi heʻenau fonongá ke ʻave kinautolu ʻo tuku pōpula koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai haʻanau “pepa tauʻatāina,” pe fakamatala fakapepa ke fakamoʻoniʻi naʻe ʻikai ko ha kau pōpula hola kinautolu.[30] ʻI ha taimi ʻe taha, naʻe pau ke nau kolosi ʻi ha vaitafe loloto ne ʻikai ha hala fakakavakava. Naʻa nau kātekina e ngaahi pō fakapoʻulí mo e pongipongi momokó mo tokoniʻi e niʻihi kehé ʻi he taimi ne nau lava aí. Ne ʻikai ke nau mamaʻo mei Nāvū, ne nau tāpuakiʻi ha kiʻi tamasiʻi naʻe puke, pea naʻe fakamoʻui e kiʻi tamasiʻí ʻi heʻenau tuí.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Seini fekauʻaki mo ʻenau fonongá, “Naʻa mau fononga pē ʻo fiefia, hiva ha ngaahi himi, mo fakamālō ki he ʻOtuá ʻi Heʻene lelei mo e ʻaloʻofa taʻefakangatangata kiate kimautolú.”

Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “Ke tāpuekina kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtuá. ʻOku mou ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ha ngaahi kaungāmeʻa he taimí ni.”

Naʻe nofo e fāmili Meningí ʻi he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá ʻi ha uike ʻe taha. Lolotonga e taimi ko iá, naʻe fekumi ʻa Seini ki ha puha naʻá ne fakamoimoi ki Nāvū, ka naʻe mahino naʻe mole pe kaihaʻasi ia. Lolotonga iá, naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau mēmipa hono fāmilí ha feituʻu ke nau ngāue mo nofo ai pea ʻikai fuoloa kuo nau hiki ki ai.

ʻI ha pongipongi ʻe taha naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe Siosefa naʻe tangi ʻa Seini pea fehuʻi ange e ʻuhingá. Naʻá ne pehē, “Kuo ʻosi maʻu ʻe he kāingá honau ʻapi ka ʻoku ʻikai haʻaku ʻapi.”

Naʻe fakapapauʻi ange ʻe Siosefa, “Ko ho ʻapí ʻeni kapau te ke fie maʻu ia.” Naʻá ne ʻave ʻa Seini ke talanoa kia ʻEma pea fakamatalaʻi ange e tūkungá. Naʻá ne pehē “ʻOku ʻikai hano ʻapi. ʻOku ʻikai koaa ke ke maʻu ha ʻapi maʻá na?”

Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEma, “ʻIo, kapau ʻokú ne fie maʻu ia.”

Ne ʻikai fuoloa, kuo hoko ʻa Seini ko ha konga ʻo e fāmili femoʻuekiná, pea naʻe talitali lelei ia ʻe he toenga ʻo e fāmilí mo e niʻihi ne nofo aí. Naʻe ʻikai teitei maʻu ʻene puhá, ka naʻe ʻoange ʻe Siosefa mo ʻEma hano vala foʻou mei he falekoloá.[31]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu fakatōlau ko iá, ʻi he hiki hono fāmilí ki honau fale foʻoú, naʻe fakaʻau ke hohaʻa ange ʻa ʻEma kau ki he mali tokolahí.[32] ʻI he fakahā naʻá Ne fai kiate Ia ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu mā tolu kimuʻá, naʻe talaʻofa e ʻEikí ke fakakalauni ia ʻaki ʻa e māʻoniʻoní ʻo kapau te ne tauhi maʻu ai pē ʻene ngaahi fuakavá mo e ngaahi fekaú. Naʻá Ne folofola ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke fai ʻeni, ʻe ʻikai te ke lava ʻo haʻu ki he feituʻu ʻoku ou ʻi aí.”[33]

Naʻe loto ʻa ʻEma ke ne tauhi e ngaahi fuakava kuó ne fai mo e Siosefa pea mo e ʻEikí. Ka koe mali tokolahi ne toutou ʻasí ʻoku fuʻu lahi ke ne fua. Neongo naʻá ne fakangofua ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi uaifi tokolahi ʻo Siosefá ki honau ʻapí, ka naʻá ne fehiʻa ʻi heʻenau ʻi aí peá ne fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻi ʻenau moʻuí.[34]

Ne faifai pea fekau ʻe ʻEma ke mavahe ʻaupito ʻa ʻEmelī mo ʻIlisa Pātilisi mei honau ʻapí. Naʻe ui ʻe ʻEma e kau fefiné ki hono lokí ʻoku ʻi hono tafaʻakí ʻa Siosefa, pea fakahā ange naʻe pau ke fakangata honau vā fetuʻutaki mo iá.[35]

Kuo lau māhina ʻeni ʻa e folau tahi ʻa ʻEtisoni mo hono ngaahi hoa faifekaú, ne nau folau fakatonga ʻi he Tahi ʻAtalanitikí pea takai hake ʻi he Muifonua ʻo e ʻAmanaki Leleí (Cape of Good Hope), ko e fakataumuʻa ki he ʻotu motu ofi ki ʻAositelēliá. ʻI he ʻikai ko ia ke nau maʻu ha vaka ne folau ki Hauaiʻí, naʻa nau totongi ai ha vaka toutai tofuaʻa ne tukufolau ki he tafaʻaki fakatonga ʻo Tahití.

Naʻe fakalata ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ʻe niʻihi ʻi he vaka toutaí, ka naʻe faʻa faingataʻa ʻa e taimi poʻulí kia ʻEtisoni koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi misi tamakí.

Hili hono tukuange ʻa Uiliami Lao mei he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí, naʻá ne fakamamaʻo meia Siosefa. ʻI he konga kimui ʻo Māʻasi 1844, naʻe feinga ʻa Hailame ke fakaleleiʻi e vā ʻa e ongo tangatá, ka naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Uiliami ke fai ha fakalelei kapau ʻe kei poupouʻi ai pē ʻe he palōfitá ʻa e mali tokolahí.[1] Meimei ki he taimi tatau, naʻe fanongo ʻa Siosefa naʻe feinga fakafufū ʻa Uiliami mo ha niʻihi kehe ʻi he koló ke tāmateʻi ia mo hono fāmilí.[2]

Naʻe lea loto-toʻa ʻa Siosefa ki he kautaha fufuú. Naʻá ne talaange ki he Kāingalotú, “He ʻikai ke u tuku atu ha tohi fakamafai ke fakaʻilo kinautolu, he ʻoku ʻikai ke u ilifia kiate kinautolu.

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu failaú, naʻe fakahā ʻe ha mēmipa ʻo e siasí ko ʻEmele Hālisi kia Siosefa naʻe fakaafeʻi ʻe he kautaha fufuú ia mo hono foha taʻu hongofulu mā hiva ko Tenisoní ki heʻenau ngaahi fakatahá. Naʻe talaange ʻe Siosefa, “ʻE Misa Hālisi, te u faleʻi koe ke ʻoua naʻá ke kau ki he ngaahi fakataha ko iá pe te ke teitei tokanga kiate kinautolu.” Ka naʻá ne talaange kia ʻEmele naʻá ne loto ke ʻalu hono foha ko Tenisoní ki he fakatahá ʻo ako ʻa e meʻa te ne lavá fekauʻaki mo e kautaha fufuú.

Naʻe fakataha ʻa Siosefa mo Tenisoni mo hono kaungāmeʻa ko Lōpeti Sikotí kimui ange ke teuteuʻi kinaua ki heʻena ngāué. Koeʻuhí naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe fakatuʻutāmaki ʻa e kautaha fufuú, naʻá ne fakatokanga ki he ongo talavoú ke ʻoua naʻá na faʻa lea lolotonga ʻena ʻi aí pea ʻoua naʻa fakaʻitaʻi ha taha.[5]

ʻI he ʻaho 7 ʻo  ʻEpeleli, 1844, ko e ʻaho hono ua ia ʻo e konifelenisi lahi ʻa e siasí, naʻe tuku ai ʻe Siosefa ʻene loto-hohaʻa ki he kautaha fufuú kae lea ki he Kāingalotú. Ne puhi mai ha havili mālohi ʻi he taimi naʻá ne tuʻu ai ʻi he tuʻunga malangá. Naʻe lea ʻa e palōfitá ke leʻolahi ange ʻi he longoaʻa ʻa e havilí ʻo pehē, “ʻE faingataʻa ke mou lava ʻo fanongo mai kiate au kapau he ʻikai ke mou tokanga lelei mai.” Naʻá ne pehē te ne lea fekauʻaki mo Kingi Fōleti, ko hono kaungāmeʻa ne toki pekiá, ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē kuo mate ha taha ne nau ʻofa ai.[6]

Naʻá ne toe fakaʻamu foki ke maʻu ʻe he Kāingalotu kotoa pē ha fakakaukau ki he meʻa ʻoku fakatatali mai ʻi he maama ka hoko maí. Naʻá ne fakaʻamu ke fakaava ʻa e veili fakalaumālié, ʻi ha lau momeniti pē, ke akoʻi kiate kinautolu ʻa e natula ʻo e ʻOtuá mo e meʻa fakalangi te nau malavá.

Naʻá ne fehuʻi ki he Kāingalotú, “Ko e tokotaha fēfē ʻa e ʻOtuá? ʻOku ʻi ai nai ha tangata pe fefine te ne ʻiloʻi? Kuo mamata nai hamou taha kiate Ia, fanongo kiate Ia mo fefolofolai mo Ia?” Naʻe tuku ʻe Siosefa ha taimi ki he haʻofangá ke nau fakakaukau ai ki heʻene ngaahi fehuʻí. Naʻá ne pehē, “Kapau naʻe tatala ʻa e veilí he ʻahó ni, pea fakahā mai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻokú ne pukepuke ʻa e māmaní ʻi hono ʻalungá, mo Ne pukepuke ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaki Hono mālohí—kapau te mou mamata kiate Ia he ʻahó ni, te mou mamata kiate Ia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻi he ʻīmisi mo e fōtunga tatau tofu mo e tangatá.”

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻe tokoni ʻa e fekumi ki he ʻiló mo e tauhi ʻo e ngaahi fuakavá ke fakahoko ai ʻe he Kāingalotú e palani taupotu taha ʻa e Tamaí maʻanautolú. Naʻe pehē ʻe Siosefa, “Kuo pau ke mou ako ke mou hoko ko e ngaahi ʻotua, ʻaki haʻamou hiki mei he kihiʻi tuʻunga ʻe taha ki ha tuʻunga ʻe taha, mei he ʻaloʻofa ki he ʻaloʻofa, mei he hākeakiʻi ki he hākeakiʻi, kae ʻoua kuo mou nofo ʻi he nāunau ʻo hangē ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he taloni ʻo e mālohi taʻengatá.”

Naʻá ne fakamanatu kiate kinautolu naʻe ikunaʻi ʻe he palani ko ʻení ʻa e maté. Naʻá ne pehē, “Hono ʻikai fakafiemālie ki he kakai ʻoku tangí, ke nau ʻiloʻi neongo ʻe ʻauha ʻa e sino fakamāmaní, ka te nau toe tuʻu ʻi he nāunau taʻe-faʻa-maté, ʻo ʻikai mamahi, pe toe mate, ka te nau hoko ko e kau ʻea-hoko ʻo e ʻOtuá pea kaungā ʻea-hoko fakataha mo Sīsū Kalaisi.”[7]

Ko ha ngāue ʻe kiʻi fuofuoloa, ʻe fie maʻu ki ai ha kātaki, tui mo e ako lahi. Naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe he palōfitá ki he Kāingalotú, “ʻE ʻikai lava ke mahino kiate kitautolu ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he māmaní. Ko ha taimi lahi ʻe fie maʻu ke mahino kotoa ai kiate kitautolu ʻa e meʻá ni, ʻo aʻu pē ki he hili ʻa e maté.”

Naʻe anga-fakalaulauloto ʻa Siosefa ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo ʻene malangá. Naʻá ne lea fekauʻaki mo hono ngaahi fāmili mo e kaungāmeʻa kuo nau maté. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku nau mavahe taimi siʻi pē. ʻOku nau ʻi he laumālié, pea ʻi heʻetau mavahe atú te tau ui ki heʻetau faʻeé, tamaí, ngaahi kaungāmeʻá pea mo kinautolu kotoa ʻoku tau ʻofa aí.” Naʻá ne fakapapauʻi ki he ngaahi faʻē kuo mālōlō ʻenau fānau valevalé te nau toe fakataha mo ʻenau fānaú. Naʻá ne pehē, he ʻikai toe nofo tailiili ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he kau fakatangá ʻi he taʻengatá, ka te nau nofo ʻi he nēkeneka mo e fiefia.[8]

ʻI he tuʻu ʻa Siosefa ʻi he ʻao ʻo e Kāingalotú, naʻe ʻikai ke ne toe hoko ko e kiʻi tamasiʻi taʻeako mei he fāmá naʻe fekumi ki he potó ʻi ha vaoʻakaú.

Naʻá ne pehē, “Kuo teʻeki ai ke mou teitei ʻilo hoku lotó. ʻOku ʻikai ke u tukuakiʻi ha taha ʻi he ʻikai ke tui ki hoku hisitōliá. Kapau naʻe teʻeki ai ke u foua ʻa e meʻa ko iá, naʻe ʻikai ke u mei tui mo au ki ai.” Naʻá ne fakaʻamu ʻe ʻi ai ha ʻaho ʻe ʻiloʻi lelei ange ia ʻe he Kāingalotú, hili hano sivisiviʻi lelei ʻene moʻuí.

Hili e lea ʻa Siosefá, naʻá ne tangutu ki lalo pea naʻe hivaʻi ʻe he kuaeá ha himi. Naʻe meimei houa ʻe ua mo e konga ʻene leá.[10]

Naʻe ueʻi ʻe he malanga ʻa Siosefá ʻa e Kāingalotú pea ne nau maʻu ʻa e Laumālié. Hili ha uike ʻe taha mei he konifelenisí, naʻe tohi ʻa ʻĒleni Takilesi ki heʻene ongomātuʻá ki ʻIngilani ʻo pehē, “Naʻe hanga ʻe he ngaahi akonaki ne mau fanongoá ʻo ʻai homau lotó ke fiefia.” Naʻe kau ʻa ʻĒleni mo hono husepānití mo ʻena fānaú ʻi he kau fuofua papi ului Pilitānia ke folau ki Nāvū ʻi he 1842, naʻe hoko ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni ne akoʻi ʻe Siosefa ʻi heʻene malangá ko ha fakamanatu ia ki he ʻuhinga ne nau feilaulau lahi ai ke fakataha mo e Kāingalotú.

Ne mālōlō e husepāniti ʻo ʻĒleni ko Siaosí hili pē ha taimi nounou ʻo ʻenau tūʻutá, pea naʻe mofi lahi ʻa ʻĒleni ʻo ʻikai ai ke ne lava ʻo tauhi ʻene fānau ʻe toko valú. Naʻe fokotuʻu ange ʻe hano kaungāmeʻa ke kole tokoni ki he kau Fineʻofá, ʻa ia ne kau ki ai ʻa ʻĒleni ʻi heʻene tūʻuta ʻi he koló.

Naʻe talaange ʻe ʻĒleni ki heʻene ongomātuʻá ʻi he tohi naʻá ne fai hili e konifelenisí, “Naʻe ʻikai ke u fie fai ia ʻe au, ka naʻá ne talamai ʻoku ou fie maʻu tokoni pea kuo fuʻu fuoloa ʻeku puké, pea kapau he ʻikai ke u fai ia, te ne fai ʻe ia maʻaku.” Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻĒleni naʻe lahi e meʻa ne fie maʻu heʻene fānaú, tautautefito ki he valá, ko ia naʻe faifai peá ne loto-fiemālie ke kole tokoni ki ha mēmipa ʻo e Fineʻofá.

Naʻá ne fakaʻosi ʻene tohí ʻaki haʻane vahevahe ʻene fakamoʻoni ki he palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá. Naʻá ne talaange ki heʻene ongomātuʻá, “ʻE ʻi ai e ʻaho te mo toki ʻiloʻi ai naʻá ku tala atu ʻa e moʻoní.”[11]

ʻI he faʻahitaʻu failau ko iá, ne ʻalu ai ʻa Tenisoni Hālisi mo Lōpeti Sikoti ki he ngaahi fakataha fakafufū ʻa Uiliami Laó pea lipooti e meʻa ne na ʻiló kia Siosefa.[12] ʻI he taimi ní, ne fakakaukau ʻa Uiliami ko ha tokotaha ia ʻokú ne fakafoʻou e siasí. Naʻá ne kei fakahā pē ʻokú ne tui ki he Tohi ʻa Molomoná mo e Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá, ka naʻá ne kālili he ʻitá ki he mali tokolahí mo e ngaahi akonaki fakamuimui ʻa Siosefa fekauʻaki mo e natula ʻo e ʻOtuá.[13]

Naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe Tenisoni mo Lōpeti naʻe kau ʻi he kautaha fufuú ʻa e uaifi ʻo Uiliami ko Seiní mo hono tuongaʻane lahi ko Vilisoní. Naʻá na sio foki ai kia Lōpeti mo Sālesi Fositā, ʻa ia ne na hoko ko e ongo kaungāmeʻa ʻo Siosefa ka ne taʻeʻoua ʻenau fetaʻemahinoʻaki ʻi he kelekele ki he temipalé.[14] Naʻe kau foki ki he fakatahá ʻa e ongo kaungāmeʻa motuʻa ʻo Sione Pēneti ko Sonisī mo Falanisisi Hikipií, kae pehē ki he tama pauʻu ko Siosefa Siakisoní.[15]

Naʻe houngaʻia ʻa e palōfitá ʻi he loto-fiemālie ʻa Tenisoni mo Lōpeti ke poletaki ʻena moʻuí maʻaná. Hili e fakataha hono ua ʻa e kautaha fufuú, naʻá ne fekau ki he ongo talavoú ke na toe ʻalu fakaʻosi pē ki he fakatahá. Naʻá ne faleʻi ange, “Mo fakalongolongo ʻaupito, pea ʻoua te mo palōmesi ke kaungā fakafetau kiate au pe ko ha konga ʻo e koló.” Naʻá ne fakatokanga kiate kinaua ʻe feinga ʻa e kautaha fufuú ke tāmateʻi kinaua.

ʻI he Sāpate hono hokó, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Tenisoni mo Lōpeti ʻo ʻiloʻi ne ʻi ai ha kau tangata ne nau toʻo meʻafana ʻo leʻohi e feituʻu angamaheni ne fai ki ai e fakatahá.

Naʻe hiki tahataha ʻe he kau tangata mo e fafine ʻi he lokí ha Tohi Tapu ʻi honau nima toʻomataʻú pea fai ʻa e fuakavá. Ko e taimi naʻe aʻu mai ai kia Tenisoni mo Lōpetí, naʻe ʻikai ke na fie fai ʻa e fuakavá.

Naʻe fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻe he kau fakafepakí ʻo pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai ke mo fanongo ki he fakamoʻoni mālohi ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē heni ʻo fakafepakiʻi ʻa Siosefa Sāmitá? ʻOku mau fakakaukau ko hotau fatongia mahuʻinga ia ke fakaʻauha [ʻa Siosefa] mo fakahaofi e kakaí mei he fakatuʻutāmaki ko ʻení.”

Naʻe loto-lili ʻa Tōmasi Saapa ʻi hono tukuange ʻo Siosefá.

Ko Ha Lami ke Tāmateʻi

Hili hono uki ʻe Tōmasi Saapa ʻa e kakaí ke nau fakamahafú, ne vave e mafola ʻa e ʻita ki he Kāingalotú ʻi he feituʻu ko iá. Naʻe fakatahataha ʻa e kakaí ʻi Uoasoa mo Kātesi ke fakahāhā loto ki hono fakaʻauha ʻo e nusipepa Expositor. Naʻe kole ʻe he kau taki fakakoló ki he kau tangata ʻi he vahefonua ko iá ke nau kau fakataha ʻi hono ʻohofi ʻo e Kāingalotú.[1] ʻI ha ʻaho pē ʻe ua, ne fakatahataha ha kau fakatanga ʻe toko tolungeau kuo fakamahafu ʻi Kātesi ʻo nau mateuteu ke laka ki Nāvū ke fakaʻauha ʻa e Kāingalotú.[2]

ʻI ha maile ʻe teau tupu ki he fakatokelau-hahake ʻo Nāvuú, naʻe tangutu hifo ai ʻa Pita Mōkeni mo Sēkope Peate ke maʻu meʻatokoni ʻi ha hōtele. Ne fekau kinaua ʻe Siosefa ke na haʻu ki he feituʻu ko iá ke fekumi ki ha keliʻanga malala ke fakatau mai ʻe he siasí. Naʻe tui ʻa Siosefa ko ha maʻuʻanga paʻanga lelei ia ke keli e malalá ʻo fakafolau ʻi he Vaitafe Misisipí ʻi he Maid of Iowa, ko e vaka sitima ʻa e siasí.[3]

Lolotonga ʻena talitali ki heʻena meʻatokoní, naʻe fakaava hake ʻe Pita e nusipepá ʻo ne lau ha lipooti ne pehē ai ne hoko ha fetauʻaki lahi ʻi Nāvū, pea ne tāmateʻi ai ha toko laui afe. ʻI heʻene ʻohovale mo ilifia kia Mele mo ʻene fānaú, naʻe fakaʻaliʻali ai ʻe Pita ʻa e ongoongó kia Sēkope.

Naʻe foki ʻa e ongo tangatá ʻi he vaka hokó ki ʻapi. ʻI heʻena aʻu ki he meimei maile ʻe tolungofulu ki Nāvuú, ne na ʻiloʻi ai ne teʻeki hoko ha tau ia. Ka naʻe hangē he ʻikai fuʻu fuoloa mei ai pea hoko ha fakamamahí.[4]

Neongo hono aleaʻi fakalelei ʻe he kosilio fakakoló ʻa hono fakaʻauha ʻo e mīsini pākí, ka ne nau fakasiʻia ʻa e longoaʻa ʻe muiaki mai aí. Naʻe hola ʻa Uiliami Lao mei he koló, ka naʻe fakamanamanaʻi ʻe ha niʻihi ʻo ʻene kau muimuí ke fakaʻauha ʻa e temipalé, tutu e fale ʻo Siosefá mo hae e ʻōfisi paaki ʻa e siasí.[5] Naʻe fakaʻilo ʻe Falanisisi Hikipī ʻa Siosefa mo e kau mēmipa kehe ʻo e kosilio fakakoló ki he fakatupu fakamoveuveu ʻi he taimi ne fakaʻauha ai e mīsini pākí. Naʻá ne fakapapau ʻe hili ha ʻaho ʻe hongofulu he ʻikai ha taha Māmonga ʻe toe ʻi Nāvū.[6]

ʻI he ʻaho 12 ʻo Suné, ne puke pōpula ʻe ha ʻōfisa mei Kātesi ʻa Siosefa mo e kau mēmipa kehe ʻo e kosilio fakakoló. Ne pehē ʻe he fakamaauʻanga fakakolo ʻo Nāvuú ne ʻikai ha makatuʻunga lelei ki he tukuakiʻí pea naʻe fakaʻatā ai e kau tangatá, ʻo ʻāsili ai e ʻita ʻa e kau fakaanga ʻa Siosefá. ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, naʻe ʻilo ai ʻe Siosefa kuo fakatahataha ha kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau ʻi Kātesi, ko e teuteu ke laka ki Nāvū.[7]

Koeʻuhí ko e fakaʻamu ʻa Siosefa ke ʻoua naʻa toe hoko ha fetauʻaki mo honau kaungāʻapí, ʻo hangē ko ia ne siotonu ai ʻi Mīsulí, naʻá ne faitohi fakavavevave ai mo e niʻihi kehé kia Kōvana Footi, ʻo fakamatalaʻi e meʻa ne fai ʻe he kosilio fakakoló mo kole tokoni ki he ʻoho ʻa e kau fakatangá.[8] Naʻe lea ʻa Siosefa ki he Kāingalotú ʻo faleʻi ke nau maʻu ha nonga mo mateuteu ke maluʻi e koló, pea ʻoua naʻa fai ha fakamoveuveu. Hili iá naʻa ne fakatahatahaʻi leva ʻa e Kongatau Nāvuú pea tuku ʻa e koló ki he malumalu ʻo e kau sōtiá, ʻo fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻa e lao angamahení kae puleʻi fakasōtia leva.[9]

ʻI he hoʻatā ʻo e ʻaho 18 ʻo Suné, naʻe fakatahataha ʻa e Kongatau Nāvuú ʻi he toumuʻa ʻo e Fale Nofoʻanga Nāvuú. Naʻe teunga sōtia kakato ʻa Siosefa ko e taki fakakautaú, ʻo ne kaka ʻi ha funga siteisi ke lea ai ki he kau tangatá. Naʻá ne pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe ha niʻihi ʻe fiemālie hotau ngaahi filí kapau ʻe fakaʻauha au, ka ʻoku ou tala atu, ko e taimi pē te nau lilingi ai hoku totó, te nau holi ki he toto ʻo e tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fisiki ʻi hono lotó ha kalōfiama ʻo e laumālie ʻo e kakato ʻo e ongoongoleleí.”

Naʻe unuhi ʻe Siosefa ʻene heletaá ʻo hiki ki he langí, peá ne tapou ki he kau tangatá ke nau maluʻi ʻenau tauʻatāina ne siʻaki meiate kinautolu ʻi he kuohilí. Naʻe fehuʻi ange ʻe Siosefa, “Te mou tuʻu nai ʻi hoku tafaʻakí, ʻi he tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo homou moʻuí, ʻo poupouʻi e ngaahi lao ʻo hotau fonuá?”

Naʻe kalanga ʻa e matangá, “ʻIo!”

Naʻá ne pehē ange, “ʻOku ou ʻofa ʻaki hoku lotó kotoa kiate kimoutolu. Naʻa mou tuʻu ʻi hoku tafaʻakí ʻi he houa ʻo e faingataʻá, pea ʻoku ou loto-fiemālie ke feilaulauʻi ʻeku moʻuí ka mou hao.”[10]

Hili e fanongo ʻa Kōvana Tōmasi Footi ki he ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻa Siosefa ki hono fakaʻauha ʻo e mīsini pākí, naʻe mahino kiate ia naʻe fai pē ia ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻi he ʻuhinga totonu mo lelei. Naʻe ʻi ai e ngaahi makatuʻunga mo e sīpinga fakalao ki hono fakahā mo fakaʻauha ha meʻa fakatupu moveuveu ʻi ha kolo. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne poupou ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e kosilió mo ʻikai tui ʻe lava ke fakatonuhiaʻi ʻenau angafaí. Naʻe ʻikai angamaheni ke fakaʻauha ha nusipepa ʻi ha kuonga ne faʻa anga ʻaki hono tuku e faʻahinga tōʻonga peheé ki he kau fakatanga taʻefakalaó, ʻo hangē ko hono fakaʻauha ʻe he kau fakaaoaó ʻa e nusipepa ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi he Vahefonua Siakisoní ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu tupu kuohilí.[11]

Naʻe fakamahuʻingaʻi foki ʻe he kōvaná ʻa hono maluʻi ʻo e lea tauʻatāiná ʻi he konisitūtone ʻo e vahefonua ʻIlinoisí, neongo ai pē pe ko e hā e meʻa ne fakangofua ʻe he laó. Naʻá ne tohi ki he palōfitá ʻo pehē, “Ko hoʻo ʻulungaanga ʻi hono fakaʻauha ʻo e mīsini pākí ko ha fakamoveuveu fakalilifu ia ki he ngaahi lao mo e tauʻatāina ʻa e kakaí. Mahalo ne lahi e ngaahi loi aí, ka naʻe ʻikai ke fakamafaiʻi ai koe ke ke fakaʻauha ia.”

Naʻe hoko atu e kōvaná ke fakakikihi ʻo pehē, naʻe ʻikai foaki ʻe he lao fakavahefonua ʻo Nāvuú ki he ngaahi fakamaauʻanga fakakoló ʻa e mafai ne mahalo ʻe he palōfitá ne nau maʻú. Naʻá ne faleʻi ange kiate ia mo e kau mēmipa kehe ʻo e kosilio fakakoló ʻa ia ne fakaʻilo ki he fakamoveuveú ke nau tukulolo pea ʻomi kinautolu ki he ngaahi fakamaauʻanga ʻi tuʻa ʻi Nāvuú. Naʻá ne talaange, “ʻOku ou vēkeveke ke tauhi e melinó. ʻE malava ke fakatupu ʻe ha kihiʻi taʻetokanga ha tau.” Naʻá ne palōmesi ange, kapau ʻe tukulolo e kau taki fakakoló ke hopoʻi kinautolu, te ne maluʻi kinautolu.[12]

Koeʻuhí naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Siosefa naʻe tokolahi e kau tangata ʻi Kātesi ne nau fehiʻa ʻi he Kāingalotú, naʻá ne veiveiua ai ʻe malava ʻe he kōvaná ʻo tauhi ʻene palōmesí. Ka ʻe hoko ʻene nofo ʻi Nāvuú ke toe ʻāsili ange ai e ʻita ʻa e kau fakaangá pea ʻe tohoakiʻi mai ai e kau fakatangá ki he koló, pea ʻe ʻi he tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ai e Kāingalotú. Ne fakaʻau ke hangē ko e founga lelei taha ke maluʻi e Kāingalotú ko e mavahe mei Nāvū ki he Hihifó pe kole tokoni ki Uasingatoni, DC.

Naʻe faitohi ʻa Siosefa ki he kōvaná ʻo talaange ki ai ʻene palani ke mavahe mei he koló. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “ʻI he molumalu kotoa pē, ʻoku mau kōlenga atu ai ki he Feituʻú na ke maluʻi ange muʻa siʻemau kakai fefiné mo e fānaú mei he fakamamahi ʻa e kau fakatangá.” Naʻá ne vilitaki ʻo pehē kapau naʻe fehālaaki ʻa e Kāingalotú, te nau fai e meʻa kotoa pē te nau lavá ke fakatonutonu ia.[13]

Hili e lea māvae ʻa Siosefa ki hono fāmilí he pō ko iá, naʻá ne heka mo Hailame, Uiliate Lisiate mo Pota Lokaueli ki ha kiʻi vaka ʻo folau atu ʻi he vaitafe Misisipí. Naʻe mama e vaká, ko ia naʻe tou ʻe he ongo tautehiná mo Uiliate ʻa e vaí ʻaki honau putí kae ʻaʻalo ʻa Pota. Ne lau houa mei ai, ne nau aʻu ki he Vahefonua ʻAiouaá ʻi he pongipongi ʻo e ʻaho 23 ʻo Suné, pea naʻe fekau ʻe Siosefa kia Pota ke foki ki Nāvū ʻo ʻomi ha fanga hoosi kiate kinautolu.[14]

Kimuʻa pea mavahe ʻa Potá, naʻe ʻoange ʻe Siosefa kiate ia ha tohi kia ʻEma, ʻa ia ne fekau ai ke ne fakatau atu ʻena koloá ʻo ka fie maʻu ke tokoni kiate ia mo e fānaú mo ʻene faʻeé. Naʻá ne talaange [kia ʻEma], “ʻOua te ke loto-mamahi. Kapau ko e finangalo ia ʻa e ʻOtuá, te ta toe femātaaki pē.”[15]

ʻI he pongipongi ko iá, naʻe fekau ʻe ʻEma ʻa Hailame Kimipolo mo hono fakafotu ko Lolenisō Uasoní ke na ʻalu ki ʻAiouā ke fakalotoʻi ʻa Siosefa ke foki mai ʻo tukulolo. Naʻá na talaange kia Siosefa naʻe palani e kōvaná ke ʻomi ha kau sōtia ki Nāvū kae ʻoua leva kuó ne tukulolo mo hono tokoua ko Hailamé. Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai kuo foki mai ʻa Pota mo Lainolo Kahuni mo ha tohi meia ʻEma, ʻa ia ne toe kole mai ai [kia Siosefa] ke foki ange ki he koló. Naʻe ui ʻe Hailame Kimipolo, Lolenisō mo Lainolo ʻa Siosefa ko ha tangata loto-foʻi ʻi heʻene mavahe mei Nāvū kae liʻaki e Kāingalotú ke nau ʻi ha tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmakí.[16]

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosefa, “ʻE laka ange ke u mate ʻi hano ui au ko ha tangata loto-foʻi. Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻeku moʻuí ki hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ia kiate au.” Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi leva he taimí ni he ʻikai malu e Kāingalotú ʻi heʻene mavahe mei Nāvuú. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻiloʻi pe ʻe moʻui nai ʻi heʻene ʻalu ki Kātesí. Naʻá ne fehuʻi ange kia Pota, “Ko e hā e meʻa te u faí?”

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Pota, “Ko koe ʻoku matuʻotuʻa tahá, ʻoku totonu ke ke ʻiloʻi e meʻa lelei taha ke faí.”

Naʻe tafoki hake ʻa Siosefa ki hono tokouá ʻo pehē, “Ko koe ʻoku matuʻotuʻa tahá. Ko e hā te tau faí?”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Hailame, “Tau foki ʻo tukulolo, pea sio pe ko e hā e meʻa ʻe hokó.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosefa, “Kapau te ke foki, te u foki mo koe, ka ʻe tāmateʻi kitaua.”

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Hailame, “Kapau kuo pau ke ta moʻui pe mate, ta tali hota ikuʻangá.”

Naʻe fakakaukau taimi siʻi ki ai ʻa Siosefa, peá ne kole kia Lainolo ke ʻomi ha vaka. Te nau foki ʻo tukulolo.[17]

Naʻe loto-mamahi ʻa ʻEma ʻi he aʻu atu ʻa Siosefa ʻi he efiafi ko iá. ʻI heʻene toe sio ko ʻeni [kia Siosefá], naʻá ne manavahē pe kuó ne ui nai ia ke toe foki mai ki hono tāmateʻí.[18] Naʻe fakaʻamu ʻa Siosefa ke ne toe malanga fakaʻosi ki he Kāingalotú, ka naʻá ne nofo mo hono fāmilí ʻi ʻapi. Naʻá ne hanga mo ʻEma ʻo fakatahatahaʻi mai ʻena fānaú, peá ne tāpuekina tahataha kinautolu.

ʻI he pongipongi hono hokó, naʻe hū mai ʻa Siosefa, ʻEma mo ʻena fānaú ki tuʻa mei he falé. Naʻá ne ʻuma tahataha kiate kinautolu.[19]

Naʻe lea ange ʻa ʻEma mo e tangí, “Te ke toe foki mai pē.”

Naʻe heka ʻa Siosefa ki heʻene hōsí peá ne fononga atu mo Hailame mo e kau tangata kehé ki Kātesi. Naʻá ne talaange kiate kinautolu, “ʻOku ou ʻalu ʻo hangē ko e lami ke tāmateʻí, ka ʻoku nonga hoku lotó ʻo hangē ko e pongipongi malū ʻi he faʻahitaʻu māfaná. ʻOku ou maʻu ʻa e konisēnisi ʻoku ʻataʻatā mei he fai hala ki he ʻOtuá, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē.”[20]

ʻI he hopo hake ʻa e laʻaá, ne kaka hake ʻa e kau tangatá ʻi he moʻunga ki he temipalé, ne huelo mai ha maama lanu koula ki he ngaahi holisi ʻo e falé ne teʻeki ke ʻosí.

Naʻe ʻikai fuoloa e mamaʻo ʻa Siosefá. Hili ha houa ʻe tolu ʻenau mavahe mei Nāvuú, ne nau fetaulaki mo ha kau sōtia ne fekauʻi kinautolu ʻe he kōvaná ke nau faʻao e ʻū meʻatau ʻa e Kongatau Nāvuú.

Naʻe toe foki ʻa Siosefa ki Nāvū ʻo ne ʻalu ki ʻapi ke sio kia ʻEma mo ʻena fānaú.

Naʻe fanafana ange ʻa Siosefa, “Te ke toe mamata ʻi Uēlesi mo fakahoko ha ngāue fakafaifekau ki muʻa peá ke toki maté.”

Ne maʻu ʻe ʻEma ʻi he ʻaho hono hokó, 27 ʻo Sune, 1844, ha tohi meia Siosefa, ʻi he mataʻitohi ʻo Uiliate Lisiaté. Naʻe fononga atu ʻa Kōvana Footi mo ha kau sōtia ki Nāvū.

Naʻá ne fakamoveteveteʻi ha patuni sōtia ʻe taha ʻi Kātesi kae tuku pē ha kulupu tokosiʻi ʻo e kau Sōtia Teunga Kuleí ke nau leʻohi e fale fakapōpulá, ʻa ia ne tuku ai e kau pōpulá ke nau tuʻu laveangofua ki hano ʻohofi kinautolu.[31]

Ka naʻe kei fie maʻu pē ʻe Siosefa ke talitali loto-lelei ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e kōvaná ʻo ʻikai fai ha faʻahinga fakamoveuveu. Naʻá ne talaange [kia ʻEma], “ʻOku ʻikai hano fakatuʻutāmaki ʻo e tuʻutuʻuni ke fakaʻauhá, ka ʻoku fie maʻu e fakatokangá ke mou malu ai.”[32]

Naʻe aʻu atu ʻa Kōvana Footi ki Nāvū ʻi he konga kimui ʻo e ʻaho ko iá ʻo lea ki he Kāingalotú.

Naʻe feʻaluʻaki holo ʻa Sitīveni Makahema, Taani Sōnasi mo ha niʻihi kehe ʻi he fai e ngaahi ngāue maʻa Siosefá. ʻI he kotoa e kau tangata ne nau nofo ai ʻi he pō kimuʻá, ko Uiliate Lisiate pē mo Sione Teila ne na kei nofo mo Siosefa mo Hailamé. ʻI he konga kimuʻa ʻo e ʻaho ko iá, ne ʻomi fakafufū ʻe he kau ʻaʻahí ha meʻafana ʻe ua ki he ongo pōpulá—ko ha pekenene mahafu ono mo ha pekenene mahafu taha—telia naʻa ʻohofi kinaua.

Naʻe pehē ange ʻe Siosefa, “He ʻikai ke ke fai ia.”

Naʻe tali ange ʻe Uiliate, “Te u fai ia.”[40]

ʻI ha lau momeniti mei ai, naʻe fanongo e kau pōpulá ki he ngahaha ʻa e matapaá pea mo e pā longoaʻa ha fana ʻe tolu pe fā.

Ko ha Fakavaʻe Kāfakafa

Kimuʻa pea hopo e laʻaá ʻi he ʻaho 28 ʻo Suné, naʻe tali ʻe ʻEma ha tukituki fakatuʻupakē ʻi he matapaá. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ko hono fakafotu ko Lolenisou Uasoní naʻe tuʻu ʻi he matapaá ne efua hono valá. Naʻe fakapapauʻi heʻene ngaahi leá ʻa e meʻa ne manavahē lahi taha ki ai [ʻa ʻEmá].[1]

Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai ne ofongi e koló ʻe he kailangakiʻi ʻe Pota Lokaueli ʻi he loto halá ʻa e ongoongo ʻo e pekia ʻa Siosefá.[2] Naʻe fakatahataha mai ha falukunga kakai ki he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá, ka ko ʻEma pē mo ʻene fānaú mo ha niʻihi ʻo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá pea mo ha niʻihi ne nofo totongi naʻe nofo ‘i lotó. Naʻe felueʻaki holo ʻene faʻē ʻi he fono ko Lusi Sāmitá ʻi hono lokí, ʻo siosionoa pē ki tuʻa he luvá. Naʻe haʻohaʻo fakataha e fānaú ʻi ha loki ʻe taha.[3]

Naʻe tangutu tokotaha pē ʻa ʻEma, ʻo mamahi fakalongolongo pē. Hili ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻá ne puke hono fofongá peá ne tengihia ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuó u uitou ai pea paea ʻeku fānaú?”

Naʻe hū mai ʻa Sione Kulini, ko e ʻōfisa māʻolunga ʻi he koló, ʻi heʻene fanongo ki heʻene tangí, ʻI heʻene feinga ke fakafiemālieʻi iá, naʻá ne talaange ʻe hoko ʻene mamahí ko ha kalauni ia ʻo ʻene moʻuí.

Naʻá ne tali ange ʻi he leʻo ʻita, “Ko hoku kalauní ʻa hoku husepānití. ʻE ʻOtua ē, ko e hā kuo liʻaki ai aú?”[4]

ʻI he konga kimui ʻo e ʻaho ko iá, naʻe heka atu ʻa Uliate Lisiate mo Samuela Sāmita ki Nāvū ʻi ha saliote ne fakaheka atu ai e ongo sino ʻo Siosefa mo Hailamé. Ke maluʻi kinaua mei he vela ʻo e laʻaá, naʻe faʻo e ongo sinó ʻi ha ongo puha papa pea ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻa e vaoʻakau iiki.[5]

Naʻe kei lēlea tuʻu pē e loto ʻo Uiliate mo Samuelá mei hono ʻohofi kinautolu ʻi he ʻaho kimuʻá. Naʻe feinga ʻa Samuela ke ʻaʻahi ki hono ongo tokouá ʻi he fale fakapōpulá, ka naʻe teʻeki ke ne aʻu ki Kātesí, naʻe fana ia ʻe ha kau fakatanga pea nau taufetuli heka hoosi ʻo laka hake ʻi ha houa ʻe ua.[6] Lolotonga iá, ʻi he hili e fakamamahí naʻe lavea siʻisiʻi pē e telinga ʻo Uiliaté, ʻo fakakakato ai ha kikite naʻe fai ʻe Siosefa ʻi he taʻu kimuʻá, ʻe punakaki holo e mahafú ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo Uiliaté ʻo tau ʻi he toʻomataʻu mo e toʻohema ʻo hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá, ka he ʻikai ha mahae ʻi hono valá.[7]

ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ne ʻi ha tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki e moʻui ʻa Sione Teilá, naʻá ne ʻi ha hōtele ʻi Kātesi, naʻá ne fuʻu makafokafo ke mavahe mei he koló.[8] ʻI he pō kimuʻa aí, naʻe fai ʻe Uiliate mo Sione ha tohi nounou ki he Kāingalotú, ʻo kole ange ke ʻoua naʻa nau sāuni e fakapoongi ʻo Siosefa mo Hailamé. ʻI hono fakaʻosi ʻe Uiliate ʻa e tohí, naʻe fuʻu vaivai ʻa Sione mei he lahi e toto ne molé naʻe ʻikai ai ke ne mei lava ʻo fakamoʻoni hingoa ki he tohí.[9]

ʻI he fakaofi atu ʻa Uiliate mo Samuela ki he temipalé, ne fakafetaulaki mai ha Kāingalotu ki he salioté ʻo nau muimui ʻiate kinaua ki he loto koló. Naʻe mei kau ʻa e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻi Nāvū ʻi he laká lolotonga e ʻunu māmālie ʻa e salioté ʻo fakalaka he temipalé pea hifo hifo he tafungofungá ki he Fale Nofoʻanga Nāvuú. Naʻe tangi leʻolahi e Kāingalotú ʻi heʻenau lue atu ʻi he loto koló.[10]

ʻI heʻenau aʻu mai ki he ʻapi ʻo e fāmili Sāmitá, naʻe kaka ʻa Uiliate ki he funga siteisi ne lea fakamuimui ai ʻa Siosefa ki he Kongatau Nāvuú. ʻI he mamata ʻa Uiliate ki he kakai ʻe toko tahamanó, ne lava ke ne sio ai ne ʻita hanau tokolahi ki he kōvaná mo e kau fakatangá.[11]

Naʻá ne kole ange, “Falala ki he laó ke ne fai e fakatonutonú. Tuku ki he ʻEikí ke Ne fai ʻa e sāuní.”[12]

ʻI he efiafi ko iá, naʻe mateuteu ʻa Lusi Sāmita ʻi heʻene talitali mo ʻEma, Mele mo hono ngaahi mokopuná ʻi tuʻa ʻi he loki kai ʻo e Fale Nofoʻanga Nāvuú. Kimuʻa aí, ne fua ʻe ha kau tangata ʻa e ongo sino ʻo Siosefa mo Hailamé ki he loto falé ke fufulu mo teuteuʻi kinaua. Talu mei ai mo e tatali ʻa Lusi mo hono fāmilí ke mamata ki he ongo sinó. Ne ʻikai ke mei lava ʻe Lusi ʻo mapuleʻi ia, pea naʻá ne lotu ke ne maʻu e mālohi ke sio ki hono ongo foha kuo fakapōngí.

Ko e taimi ne maau ai e ongo sinó, ne ʻuluaki hū ʻa ʻEma ki loto, ka naʻe vave ʻene hoholo hifo ki he falikí pea naʻe pau ai ke fua mai ia ki tuʻa mei he lokí. Naʻe muimui atu ʻa Mele, ʻo ne tetetete pē mo lue. Naʻe pikitai ʻene ongo ua īkí kiate ia ʻi heʻene tuʻulutui ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo Hailamé, ʻo ne puke e ʻulu [ʻo Hailamé] ʻi hono nimá mo tangi halotulotu pē. Naʻá ne amoamohi hono ʻulú mo ne pehē, “Siʻeku Hailame, kuo nau fanaʻi koe?” Naʻe lomekina ia ʻe he loto-mamahí.

Ne tokoniʻi ʻe he ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ʻa ʻEma, naʻe ʻikai fuoloa mei ai naʻá ne toe foki mai ki he lokí ʻo ne kau fakataha mo Mele ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻo Hailamé. Naʻá ne hili hono nimá ʻi he laʻe momoko ʻo hono tuongaʻane ʻi he fonó peá ne lea leʻosiʻi kiate ia. Naʻá ne tafoki hake leva ki hono ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ʻo pehē, “Te u lava ʻo sio kiate ia he taimí ni. Kuó u mālohi feʻunga he taimí ni.”

Naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻEma ʻo lue ʻiate ia pē ki he sino ʻo Siosefá. Naʻá ne tūʻulutui ʻi hono tafaʻakí peá ne hili hono nimá ʻi he kouʻahe ʻo Siosefá. Naʻá ne lea ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē Siosefa, ʻe Siosefa! Kuo faifai pea nau faʻao koe meiate au!”[13] Naʻe tūʻulutui hifo ʻa Siosefa ko e Siʻí ʻo ʻuma ki heʻene tamaí.

Naʻe lomekina ʻa Lusi ʻi he mamahi naʻá ne ʻākilotoa iá ʻo ʻikai ai ke ne kei lava ʻo lea. Naʻá ne lotu fakalongolongo pē ʻo pehē, “ʻE hoku ʻOtua. Ko e hā kuó ke liʻaki ai ʻa e fāmili ko ʻení?” Naʻe lomekina ʻene fakakaukaú ʻe he ngaahi faingataʻa kuo hoko ki hono fāmilí, ka ʻi heʻene mamata ki hono ongo fohá, ne hā fiemālie pē hona fofongá. Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi kuo mamaʻo ʻa Siosefa mo Hailame he taimí ni mei he fakamamahi ʻo hona ngaahi filí.

Naʻá ne fanongo ki ha leʻo ne ongo mai ʻo pehē, “Kuó u ʻomi kinaua kiate au, ke na maʻu ha mālōlō.”[14]

ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, ne tuʻu laine ha kakai ʻe toko laui afe ʻi tuʻa ʻi he Fale Nofoʻanga Nāvuú ke fakaʻapaʻapa ki he ongo tautehiná. Naʻe vela e ʻahó pea tafitonga e langí. Ne lau houa e hū ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻi ha matapā ʻe taha, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he ongo puha maté, pea hū ki tuʻa ʻi ha matapā ʻe taha. Naʻe ʻeʻepa ʻa e ongo tautehiná ʻi ha ongo puha mate fakaʻofoʻofa naʻe teuteu ʻaki ʻa e līneni hinehina mo ha tupenu oloveti molū lanu ʻuliʻuli. Naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki hona fofongá ha laʻi sioʻata, ʻa ia ne malava ai ʻe he kau tengihiá ʻo sio fakaʻosi kiate kinaua.[15]

Hili hono mamataʻí, naʻe malangaʻi ʻe Uiliami Felipisi ʻa e meʻafakaʻeikí ki ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko laui afe. Naʻá ne fehuʻi ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā te u lea ʻaki fekauʻaki mo Siosefa ko e tangata kikité? Naʻe ʻikai ke ne haʻú ke fakafofongaʻi e fakakaukau ʻa e kakaí, ka ʻi he huafa faingofua ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.”

Naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻe Uiliami ʻo pehē, “Naʻá ne haʻu ke ʻomi ʻa e ngaahi fekau mo e fono ʻa e ʻEikí, ke langa ha ngaahi temipale, pea akoʻi e tangatá ke tupulaki ʻi he ʻofa mo e angaʻofa. Naʻá ne haʻu ke fokotuʻu hotau siasí ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní, ʻo makatuʻunga ʻi he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni haohaoa mo taʻengata ʻo e fakahā, kau palōfita mo e kau ʻaposetolo.”[16]

Hili e meʻafakaʻeikí, naʻe faitohi ʻa Mele ʻAna ʻIongi kia Pilikihami fekauʻaki mo e meʻa fakamamahi kuo hokó, ne ʻi he hahaké [ʻa Pilikihami] mo ha konga lahi ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻi ha maile ʻe laungeau ke kemipeini maʻa Siosefa. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “Kuo mau faingataʻaʻia lahi ʻi he feituʻú ni talu hoʻo mavahe mei ʻapí. Kuo tāmateʻi siʻotau tuongaʻane ko Siosefa Sāmita mo Hailamé ʻe ha kau fakatanga angafītaʻa.” Naʻe fakapapauʻi ʻe Mele ʻAna kia Pilikihami ne moʻui lelei pē hona fāmilí, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ne ʻiloʻi ʻa e tuʻunga ʻoku ʻi ai ʻenau haó. ʻI he uike ʻe tolu kuohilí, ne ʻikai toe hū mai ha ʻū tohi he meili ʻa Nāvuú, pea ko e fakamanamana ʻo ha ngaahi ʻohofi ʻe he kau fakatangí ni ʻi ai maʻu pē.

Naʻe tohi ʻe Mele ʻAna ʻo pehē, “Kuó u monūʻia ʻi heʻeku malava ke kei maʻu pē ha nonga lolotonga e taimi moveuveu ko ʻení. Fakatauange pē te ke tokanga ʻi hoʻo foki maí pea ʻoua naʻa fakahā ke ʻiloʻi koe ʻe he niʻihi te nau fakamamahiʻi koé.”[17]

Naʻe faitohi ʻa Vilate Kimipolo kia Hiipa ʻi he ʻaho tatau pē. Naʻá ne talaange, “Kuo teʻeki tuʻo taha ke u faitohi atu kiate koe ʻi ha tūkunga faingataʻa ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku mau fehangahangai mo ia he taimi ní. ʻOfa ange ʻa e ʻOtua ē he ʻikai ke u toe mātā ha meʻa pehē.”

Naʻe fanongo ʻa Vilate naʻe kei feinga pē ʻa Uiliami Lao mo ʻene kau muimuí ke nau sāuniʻi e kau taki ʻo e siasí. ʻI heʻene manavahē ki he tuʻunga malu ʻa Hīpá, naʻe ʻikai ai ke ne loto ke foki mai hono husepānití ki ʻapi. Naʻá ne tohi ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ou lotu maʻu pē ki he ʻEikí he taimí ni ke Ne tauhi kitautolu ke tau toe fakataha. ʻOku ou ʻilo fakapapau te nau feinga ke tāmateʻi koe, kae fakatauange ʻe ʻoatu ʻe he ʻEikí ha poto ke ke hao mei he niʻihi te nau feinga ke tāmateʻi koé.”[18]

Hili ha taimi nounou mei ai, naʻe faitohi ʻa Fīpē Utalafi ki heʻene ongomātuʻá ʻo fakamatalaʻi ʻa e fekeʻikeʻi ʻi Kātesí. Naʻe fakamoʻoni ʻa Fīpē ʻo pehē, “He ʻikai hoko e ngaahi meʻá ni ke taʻofi ai e ngāué ʻo lahi ange ʻi he pekia ʻa Kalaisí, ka ʻe tupulaki ia ʻo toe vave ange. ʻOku ou tui ʻoku ʻi he feituʻu totonu ʻa Siosefa mo Hailame, ʻe lahi ange ʻena tokoni ki he siasí he taimí ni ʻi he taimi ne na ʻi heni ai mo kitautolú.”

Naʻá ne fakapapauʻi, “ʻOku mālohi ange ʻeku tuí ʻi ha toe taimi. He ʻikai ke u tukuange ʻa e tui faka-Māmonga moʻoní, ʻo tatau ai pē kapau ʻe tāmateʻi au ʻi ha houa ʻe taha mei he taimi ʻoku ou tohi ai ʻení, he ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi fakapapau ko e ngāue ʻeni ʻa e ʻOtuá.”[19]

ʻI he fononga ʻa e ʻū tohi ʻa Mele ʻAna, Vilate mo Fīpeé ki he hahaké, naʻe fanongo ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi mo ʻOasoni Pālati ʻi ha talanoa sasala kuo tāmateʻi ʻa Siosefa mo Hailame, ka naʻe ʻikai ke fakapapauʻi ʻe ha taha ʻa e talanoá. ʻI he ʻaho 16 ʻo Siulaí, naʻe maʻu ai ʻe ha mēmipa ʻo e siasí ʻi he kolo Niu ʻIngilani ne na ʻaʻahi ki aí ha tohi mei Nāvū ne fakaikiiki ai e ongoongo fakamamahí. Ko e taimi ne lau ai ʻe Pilikihami ʻa e tohí, naʻá ne ongoʻi hangē ka mafahí hono ʻulú. Kuo teʻeki ke ne ongoʻi ha fuʻu loto-mamahi pehē.

Naʻe vave ʻene fakakaukau ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí. Naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ngaahi kī kotoa pē ne fie maʻu ke maʻu ʻenitaumeni ai ʻa e Kāingalotú mo silaʻi kinautolu ki ʻitānití. Kapau he ʻikai ʻa e ngaahi kī ko iá, he ʻikai lava ʻo laka atu e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí. ʻI ha kihiʻi taimi siʻi, naʻe manavahē ʻa Pilikihami naʻa kuo pekia ʻa Siosefa mo e ngaahi kií.

Hili iá, naʻe maʻu ʻe Pilikihami ha fakahā ʻo ne manatuʻi naʻe foaki ʻe Siosefa ʻa e ngaahi kií ki he Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá. Naʻá ne hapoʻi ʻaki hono laʻinimá hono tuí mo ne pehē, “Ko e ngaahi kī ki he puleʻangá ʻoku ʻi heni pē ia ʻi he siasí.”[20]

Naʻe fononga ʻa Pilikihami mo ʻOasoni ki Positoni ke fakataha mo e kau ʻaposetolo ʻi he ʻū vahefonua fakahahaké. Ne nau fakakaukau ke nau foki ki ʻapi he taimi pē ko iá pea faleʻi e kau faifekau kotoa pē ne ʻi ai honau ngaahi fāmili ʻi Nāvuú ke nau foki mo kinautolu.[21]

Naʻe talaange ʻe Pilikihami ki he Kāingalotu ʻi he feituʻu ko iá, “Ke mou fiefia. Ko e taimi ʻoku fekauʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ha tangata ke ne fai ha ngāue, he ʻikai lava ʻe he fanga tēvolo kotoa ʻo helí ʻo tāmateʻi ia kae ʻoua kuó ne ikuna.” Naʻá ne fakamoʻoni ne foaki ʻe Siosefa e ngaahi kī kotoa pē ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí kimuʻa peá ne pekiá, pea ʻoku maʻu ai ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ke hoko atu e ngāué.[22]

Lolotonga e fakamamahi ʻa ʻEma he pekia hono husepānití ʻi Nāvuú, naʻe kamata ke ne hohaʻa ki heʻene tauhi tokotaha ʻene fānaú mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he fonó. Naʻe feinga lahi ʻa Siosefa ke fakamāvahevaheʻi fakalao e koloa hono fāmilí mei he koloa ʻa e siasí, ka naʻe kei toe lahi pē ha ngaahi moʻua pea naʻe ʻikai ha tohi tuku. Naʻe manavahē ʻa ʻEma naʻa masivesiva hono fāmilí kapau he ʻikai vave hano fili ʻe he siasí ha talāsiti ke ne fetongi ʻa Siosefa ʻi hono puleʻi e koloa ʻa e siasí.[23]

Naʻe māvahevahe ʻa e kau taki ʻo e Siasí ʻi Nāvuú ʻi he fifili pe ko hai ʻokú ne maʻu e mafai ke fai ʻa e filí. Naʻe tui ha niʻihi ʻoku totonu ko e fatongia ia ʻo Samuela Sāmita, ko e tokoua lahi taha ʻo e palōfitá ne kei moʻuí, ka naʻá ne puke hili hono tuli ia ʻe he kau fakatangá mei Kātesí, pea naʻá ne mate fakafokifā ʻi he fakaʻosinga ʻo Siulaí.[24] Ne tui ha niʻihi ʻoku totonu ke fili ʻe he kau taki fakasiteikí ʻa e talāsiti foʻoú. Naʻe fakaʻamu ʻa Uiliate Lisiate mo Uiliami Felipisi ke fakatoloi e filí kae ʻoua kuo foki mai ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá mei heʻenau ngāue fakafaifekau ki he ngaahi vahefonua hahaké, koeʻuhí ke nau kau ʻi he filí.

Ka naʻe hohaʻa ʻa ʻEma ke fai mo fai ha tuʻutuʻuni pea naʻá ne fie maʻu e kau taki ʻo e siasí ke fili ha talāsiti he vave tahá. Ko ʻene fili ki he lakangá ko Uiliami Mākisi, ko e palesiteni siteiki ʻo Nāvuú.[25] Ka naʻe fakafepaki mālohi ʻa Pīsope Niueli Uitenī ki he fili ko iá, he naʻe taʻeloto ʻa Uiliami ki he mali tokolahí pea naʻe ʻikai ke loko tokanga ia ki he ngaahi ouau ʻo e temipalé.

Naʻe pehē ʻe he pīsopé, “Kapau ʻe fili ʻa Mākisi, ʻe fakaʻauha hotau ngaahi tāpuaki fakalaumālié, he ʻoku ʻikai ke ne tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga tahá.” Koeʻuhí naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Niueli ko e siasí ʻoku ʻikai ko ha kautaha ʻoku ʻi ai hano ngaahi koloa fakapaʻanga mo ha fatongia fakalao, naʻá ne tui ai ko e tokotaha talāsiti foʻoú ʻoku totonu ko ha taha ʻokú ne poupouʻi kakato e meʻa ne fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí kia Siosefá.[26]

ʻI he taimi ko ʻení, ne mālohi feʻunga ai ʻa Sione Teila mei hono ngaahi kafó ke foki ki Nāvū. Naʻe foki mai mo Paʻale Pālati mei heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻo kau fakataha mo Sione, Uiliate Lisiate mo Uiliami Felipisi ʻi hono fakalotoʻi ʻa ʻEma mo Uiliami Mākisi ke tatali ki he kau ʻaposetolo kehé ke nau foki mai. Naʻa nau tui naʻe fuʻu mahuʻinga ange ke fili e talāsiti foʻoú ʻo fakafou ʻi he mafai totonú ʻi hano fai ha fili fakavavevave.[27]

ʻI he ʻaho 3 ʻo  ʻAokosí, ne foki mai ʻa Sitenei Likitoni ki Nāvū. Naʻá ne kau fakataha mo Siosefa ʻi he kemipeini ki he lakanga fakapalesitení, pea naʻe pau ai ke hiki ʻa Sitenei ki ha vahefonua ʻe taha ke feau e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni fakalao ki he lakangá. Ka ʻi he ʻiloʻi ʻe Sitenei e pekia ʻa e palōfitá, naʻá ne foki fakavave mai ai ki ʻIlinoisi he naʻá ne fakapapauʻi ne ʻi ai ʻene totonu ʻi hono fatongia ʻi he Kau Palesitenisī ʻUluakí ke ne tataki e siasí.

Naʻe hoko e tūʻuta ʻa Siteneí ke loto-hohaʻa ai ʻa Paʻale mo e kau ʻaposetolo kehe ʻi Nāvuú. Ne mahino ʻi he fakakikihi ki he talāsití naʻe fie maʻu ʻe he siasí ha tokotaha maʻu mafai ke ne fai e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mahuʻingá.

Naʻe loto-lelei ki ai ʻa Uiliami Mākisi ʻo ne fokotuʻutuʻu e fakatahá ki he ʻaho 8 ʻo  ʻAokosí, ko ha ʻaho ia ʻe fā mei ai.[31]

ʻI he efiafi ko hono 6 ʻo  ʻAokosí, ne mafola ha talanoa kuo tūʻuta ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi, Hiipa Kimipolo, ʻOasoni Pālati, Uilifooti Utalafi mo Laimani Uaiti ʻi Nāvū ʻi ha vaka sitima. Ne ʻikai fuoloa mei ai ne talitali lelei ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e kau ʻaposetoló ʻi he veʻehalá ʻi heʻenau foki ki honau ʻapí.[32]

Ka naʻe kei vilitaki pē ʻa Sitenei ʻi heʻene totonu ke tataki e siasí.

ʻI he ʻaho 8 ʻo  ʻAokosí, ko e ʻaho ia ʻo e fakataha lotu ʻa Siteneí, naʻe liʻaki ʻe Pilikihami ha fakataha pongipongia mo ʻene kōlomú, ko ha meʻa kuo teʻeki ke ne fai kimuʻa.[38] ʻI heʻene hū ki tuʻá, naʻá ne mamata ki ha Kāingalotu ʻe toko laui afe ne nau fakatahataha mai ki he ʻuluʻakau ofi ki he temipalé.

Naʻe toe tuʻuaki pē ʻe Sitenei ia ke ne hoko ko e tauhi ki he siasí, kae ʻikai ke fai ha fakataha lotu ia.

Naʻe laka hake he houa ʻe tahá ʻa e lea ʻa Siteneí, ʻo ne fakamoʻoni ʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefa mo Hailame hona mafai lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ʻo taʻengata pea kuó na fokotuʻutuʻu lelei e ngaahi fakataha alēleá ke tataki ʻaki e siasí hili ʻena pekiá. Naʻe talaki ʻe Sitenei ʻo pehē, “ʻE tuʻu ʻa e tangata kotoa pē ʻi hono tuʻunga pē ʻoʻona pea ʻi hono lakanga pē ʻoʻona ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihová.” Naʻá ne toe fokotuʻu mai ko hono tuʻungá mo hono lakangá ko ha tangata lea maʻa Siosefa. Naʻe ʻikai ke ne loto ke fai ʻe he haʻofangá ha fili, ka naʻá ne loto ke ʻiloʻi ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻene ngaahi fakakaukaú.[39]

Hili e lea ʻa Siteneí, naʻe ui mai ʻa Pilikihami ki he matangá ke nau toe kiʻi tatali ange. Naʻá ne pehē naʻá ne fie maʻu ha taimi feʻunga ke tengihia ai e pekia ʻa Siosefá kimuʻa pea toki fakahoko e ngaahi pisinisi ʻa e siasí, ka naʻá ne ongoʻi ne ʻi ai ha fie maʻu vivili ʻi he Kāingalotú ke fili ha takimuʻa foʻou. Naʻá ne loto-hohaʻa telia naʻa ʻoku ʻi ai hanau niʻihi ne nau feinga ke maʻu e mālohí ʻo fehangahangai ia mo e finangalo ʻa e ʻOtuá.

Ke fakaleleiʻi e palopalemá, naʻe kole ai ʻe Pilikihami ki he Kāingalotú ke nau toe fakataha mai ʻi he efiafi ko iá ke hikinimaʻi ha takimuʻa foʻou. Te nau fili fakakōlomu pea toki fili fakakātoa e siasí. Naʻá ne pehē, “Te tau lava ʻo fakahoko ʻa e pisinisí ʻi ha miniti pē ʻe nima. He ʻikai ke tau ngāue feʻauʻauhi, pea ʻe lea ʻaki ʻe he tangata mo e fefine kotoa pē ʻēmeni.”[40]

Naʻe foki mai ʻa ʻEmelī Hoiti ʻi he efiafi ko iá ki he ʻuluʻakaú ke fai e fakatahá. Naʻe taʻu tolungofulu tupu ʻa ʻEmelī, naʻe tuofefine ʻaki ia ʻe he palōfitá pea naʻá ne ʻosi mei he akoʻanga fakafaiakó. ʻI he ngaahi taʻu kuohili angé, naʻá na feohi vāofi mo hono husepāniti ko Samuelá mo Siosefa mo Hailame, pea naʻe fakatupu loto-mamahi kiate kinaua ʻa e pekia fakafokifā ʻa e ongo tautehiná.

Meimei ki he hoko ʻa e uá, naʻe tangutu ʻa e ngaahi kōlomu ʻo e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí mo e fakataha alēleá ʻi honau nofoʻangá ʻi he tuʻunga malangá. Naʻe tuʻu hake leva ʻa Pilikihami ʻIongi ke lea ki he Kāingalotú.[42] Naʻá ne pehē, “Kuo lahi e tālanga fekauʻaki mo e hoko ʻa Palesiteni Likitoni ko e palesiteni ʻo e siasí, ka ʻoku ou lea kiate kimoutolu ʻoku maʻu ʻe he Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻa e ngaahi kī ʻo e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he funga kotoa ʻo e māmaní.”[43]

ʻI he fakafanongo ʻa ʻEmelī ki he lea ʻa Pilikihamí, naʻá ne toe sio fakamamaʻu kia [Pilikihami] ke fakapapauʻi ʻoku ʻikai ko Siosefa naʻe leá. Naʻá ne maʻu e fakafōtunga ʻa Siosefá, ʻa ʻene founga fakaʻuhingá pea aʻu pē ki he ongo hono leʻó.[44]

Naʻe hoko atu ʻa Pilikihami ʻo pehē, “Kuo fakatoka ʻe Siosefa ko e palōfitá ha fakavaʻe ki ha ngāue matuʻaki mahuʻinga, pea te tau langa ʻi he fakavaʻe ko iá. ʻOku ʻi ai ha fakavaʻe kāfakafa ne ʻosi fakatoka, pea ʻe lava ke tau langa ha puleʻanga ʻe ʻikai hano toe tatau ʻi he māmaní talu mei tuai. ʻE lava ke tau langa ha puleʻanga ʻo vave ange ʻi he feinga ʻa Sētane ke tāmateʻi e Kāingalotú.”

Naʻe talaki ʻe Pilikihami, naʻe fie maʻu ke ngāue fakataha ʻa e Kāingalotú ʻo muimui ki he finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí pea moʻui ʻaki ʻa e tuí. Naʻá ne pehē, “Kapau ʻoku mou loto ke tataki kimoutolu ʻe Sitenei Likitoni pe ko Uiliami Lao, pe ko ha taha pē, ko e meʻa pē ia ʻa moutolu, ka ʻoku ou pehē kiate kimoutolu ʻi he huafa ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻe ʻikai lava ʻe ha tangata ʻo fokotuʻu ha tangata kehe ke tuʻu ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá mo e palōfita ko Siosefá.

Naʻe ongoʻi ʻe ʻEmelī ko e Laumālie mo e mālohi naʻe maʻu ʻe Siosefá kuo maʻu ia ʻe Pilikihami he taimí ni, naʻá ne siofi hono ui ʻe he ʻaposetoló ʻa e Kāingalotú ke nau hikinimaʻi ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ke nau hoko ko e kau taki ʻo e siasí. Naʻá ne pehē, “Kuo fokotuʻutuʻu totonu ʻa e tangata mo e fefine mo e kōlomu kotoa pē he taimí ni.

Naʻe hiki ʻe ʻEmelī mo e haʻofangá kotoa honau nimá.[46]

Naʻe pehē ʻe Pilikihami, “ʻOku lahi e ngāue ke faí. Naʻe fakatoka heʻetau palōfitá ʻa e fakavaʻé, pea te tau langa leva mei ai. He ʻikai ke toe fakatoka ha fakavaʻe kehe ka ko ia pē kuo ʻosi fakatoká, pea te tau maʻu hotau ʻenitaumení kapau ko e finangalo ia ʻo e ʻEikí.”[47]

Hili ha taʻu e fitu mei ai, naʻe lekooti ʻe ʻEmelī ʻene aʻusiá ʻene mātā e lea ʻa Pilikihami ki he Kāingalotú, ʻo ne fakamoʻoni ki he hangē tofu pē hono fōtungá mo e leʻó he tuʻunga malangá ko Siosefá. Ne tokolahi ha Kāingalotu ne nau tānaki ʻenau fakamoʻoní ki he fakamoʻoni [ʻa ʻEmilií] ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ne hoko aí, ʻo fakamatalaʻi ʻenau mamata ki hono hilifaki e pulupulu fakaepalōfita ʻo Siosefá kia Pilikihami he ʻaho ko iá.[48]

Naʻe tohi ʻe ʻEmelī ʻo pehē, “Kapau ʻoku ʻi ai ha taha ʻoku veiveiua ki he totonu ʻa Pilikihami ke puleʻi e ngaahi ngāue maʻá e Kāingalotú, ko e meʻa pē ʻeni te u tala kiate kinautolú: Maʻu e Laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá pea ʻiloʻi maʻamoutolu pē. ʻE tokonaki ʻe he ʻEikí Maʻana pē.”[49]

Hili e konifelenisí, naʻe ongoʻi ʻe Uilifooti ne ʻi ai ha pōpōʻuli naʻá ne kei kāpui e koló. Naʻá ne tohi ʻi heʻene tohinoá ʻo pehē, “Kuo pekia e palōfitá mo e pēteliaké, pea ʻoku hangē ʻoku ʻikai ha toe loto-vivili ke fai ha meʻá.” Ka neongo iá, naʻe ngāue ʻa Uilifooti mo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻi he taimi pē ko iá. Naʻa nau fakataha ʻi he hoʻatā ko iá ʻo fili ʻa e ongo pīsope ko Niueli Uitenī mo Siaosi Milá ke na hoko ko e ongo talāsiti maʻá e siasí mo fakaleleiʻi e palopalema ne fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi meʻa fakapaʻanga ʻa Siosefá.[50]

Hili ha ʻaho ʻe tolu, ne nau ui ʻa ʻAmasa Laimani ki he Kōlomu ʻo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá pea vahevahe fakavahefonua ʻa e fakahahake ʻo e ʻIunaiteti Siteití mo Kānata ke tokangaʻi ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahí. ʻE uiuiʻi ʻe Pilikihami, Hiipa mo Uiliate ha kau tangata ki he ngaahi fatongia ko ʻení mo tokangaʻi ʻa e siasí ʻi ʻAmelika kae folau ʻa Uilifooti mo Fīpē ki ʻIngilani ke tokangaʻi ʻa e misiona Pilitāniá mo puleʻi ʻa e falepaaki ʻi aí.[51]

Lolotonga e teuteu ʻa Uilifooti ki heʻene ngāue fakafaifekaú, naʻe feinga ʻa e kau ʻaposetolo kehé ke fakamālohia e siasí ʻi Nāvū. Naʻe hikinimaʻi ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻa e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ʻi he fakataha ʻi he ʻaho 8 ʻo  ʻAokosí, ka naʻe feinga ha kau tangata ʻe niʻihi ke fakamavahevaheʻi ʻa e siasí mo takihalaʻi e kakaí. Naʻe kau ai ʻa Sēmisi Sitālingi ko ha mēmipa foʻou ʻo e siasí, naʻá ne tala naʻá ne maʻu ha tohi meia Siosefa naʻe fili ai ia ke ne hoko ko e fetongi [ʻo Siosefá]. Naʻe ʻi ai ha ʻapi ʻo Sēmisi ʻi he Vahefonua Uisikonisiní pea naʻá ne fie maʻu ke fakatahataha ki ai ʻa e Kāingalotú.[52]

Naʻe fakatokanga ʻa Pilikihami ki he Kāingalotú ke ʻoua te nau muimui ki he kau angatuʻú. Naʻá ne tapou kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua te mou movetevete. Mou nofo heni ʻi Nāvū ke langa e temipalé pea maʻu homou ʻenitaumení.”[53]

Naʻe nofotaha ʻa e siasí ki hono fakaʻosi ʻo e temipalé. ʻI he ʻaho  27 ʻo ʻAokosí, ko e pō ia kimuʻa pea mavahe ʻa Uilifooti mo Fīpē ki ʻIngilaní, naʻá na ʻaʻahi ai mo hona ngaahi kaungāmeʻá ki he temipalé. Naʻe tuʻu ʻa Uilifooti mo Fīpē ʻi he fakavaʻe ʻo e ngaahi holisí, ʻa ia ne mei aʻu hono māʻolungá ki he fungavaka uá, naʻá na manumanumelieʻia ʻi he founga ne hulungia ai ʻe he huelo ʻo e māhiná ʻa e fakaʻeiʻeiki mo e molumalu ʻo e falé.

Naʻá na kaka ʻi ha tuʻunga ki he ngataʻanga ʻo e ngaahi holisí peá na tuʻulutui ʻo lotu. Naʻe fakahā ʻe Uilifooti ʻene fakafetaʻi ki he ʻEikí ʻi hono ʻomi e mālohi ki he Kāingalotú ke nau langa e temipalé peá ne kole ke nau feinga ke fakaʻosi ia, maʻu honau ʻenitaumení pea fakahoko e ngāue ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní. Naʻá ne toe kole foki ki he ʻEikí ke tauhi ia mo Fīpē ʻi he malaʻe ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekaú.

Naʻá ne lotu ʻo pehē, “Fakaivia ange muʻa kimaua ke ma fakahoko ʻema ngāué ʻi he anga māʻoniʻoni, pea ke ma toe foki mai ki he fonuá ni ʻo fonongaʻia e ngaahi potu tapu ʻo e fale ʻo e ʻEikí ʻi he melino.”[54]

ʻI he ʻaho hono hokó, kimuʻa siʻi pē pea mavahe ʻa e fāmili Utalafí, naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe Pilikihami ʻa Fīpē ki he ngāue ne hanganaki mai ke ne faí. Naʻá ne talaʻofa ʻo pehē, “ʻE tāpuekina koe ʻi hoʻo ngāue fakafaifekaú fakataha mo hoʻo husepānití, pea te ke hoko ko e makatuʻunga ʻo hono fai ha ngāue lelei lahi. Kapau te ke ʻalu ʻi he loto-fakatōkilalo, ʻe fakatolonga koe ke ke toe foki mai ʻo feʻiloaki mo e Kāingalotú ʻi he temipale ʻo e ʻEikí pea te ke fiefia ai.”

Naʻe tuku folau atu leva ʻa Uilifooti mo Fīpē ki ʻIngilani ʻi he efiafi ko iá. Naʻe kau ʻi he kau faifekau ne folau fakataha mo kinauá ʻa Taani Sōnasi mo hono uaifi ko Seiní, ʻa ia ne na folau ki Uēlesi ke fakahoko e kikite ʻa Siosefá.[55]

Naʻe talaange ʻe Luisi ki he fakatahá, “ʻI he huafa ʻo e ʻEikí, ʻoku ou loto-fiemālie ke fai ʻa ia kotoa pē te u lavá.”[9]

ʻI he fakalau ʻa e taʻú, naʻe fakaʻau ke loto-mamahi lahi ʻa e Kāingalotú ki heʻenau kau taki fakafonuá ʻi heʻenau taʻefietokoniʻi kinautolú.

Naʻe poupou ʻa Hiipa Kimipolo ki he palaní. Naʻá ne pehē, “Lololotonga e fekumi e kau tangatá ni ki he feituʻú, ʻe aʻu ki aí kuo ʻosi ʻa e temipalé pea ʻe maʻu ʻe he Kāingalotú ʻenau ʻenitaumení.”[11]

Naʻe tali ʻe he fakataha alēleá ʻa e fonongá, pea naʻe loto-fiemālie ʻa Luisi ke ne taki ia. ʻI he toenga ʻo Māʻasi mo ʻEpelelí, naʻá ne ʻalu ki he ngaahi fakataha alēleá ʻo faleʻi e kau maʻu fakatahá ki he founga lelei taha ke feau mo aʻusia ai e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻo e fonongá.[12] ʻI he fakaʻosinga ʻo ʻEpelelí, naʻe fili ʻe he fakataha alēleá ha kau tangata ʻe toko fā ke kau fakataha mo Luisi ʻi he fonongá, ʻo kau ai e tokoua ʻo Pilikihami ko Fineasí mo ha papi ului ko Solomone Tinitolo, ko ha ʻInitia Mohīkeni naʻe pusiakiʻi ʻe he fāmili Telaueá.[13]

ʻI he motu ko Tupuai ʻi he Pasifiki Tongá, naʻe fikaʻi ʻe ʻEtisoni Pālati kuo mei lava ha taʻu ʻe ua ʻene mavahe mei Nāvū mei hono uaifí mo e fānaú.

Ka neongo iá, naʻá ne houngaʻia ʻi he kakai Tupuaí ʻi heʻenau talitali lelei iá.

Naʻá ne papitaiso foki mo ha ongomātuʻa ko Napota mo Teli, ʻa ia ne na vahevahe ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ne na maʻú pea ʻofaʻi ia hangē ha fāmili tonú.

Neongo naʻe fakatupu taʻelata ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa ʻEtisoni kia Luʻisa mo hono ngaahi ʻofefiné, ka naʻe hoko foki ia ko ha faingamālie ke ne fakalaulauloto ai ki he ʻuhinga ʻo ʻenau feilaulaú. Naʻá ne ʻalu ki Tupuaí ko ʻene ʻofa kia Sīsū Kalaisí mo ʻene fakaʻamu ke fakamoʻui e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI heʻene fononga holo he motú ke ʻaʻahi ki he Kāingalotu ʻi Tupuaí, naʻe faʻa ongoʻi ʻe ʻEtisoni ha loto-māfana mo ha ʻofa naʻe faʻa fakatupu tangi kiate ia mo e niʻihi kehé.

Naʻá ne tohi ʻi heʻene tohinoá ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi ai hoku ngaahi kaungāmeʻa heni ne ʻikai ke mau mei maheni ka ko e fakatupu ia ʻe he ngaahi haʻi ʻo e ongoongolelei taʻengatá”.[16]

ʻI Siulai ʻo e 1845, ko e hili ia ha māhina ʻe tolu, naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe ʻEtisoni ʻa e pekia ʻa Siosefa mo Hailamé ʻi ha tohi meia Noa Lousa, ko hano kaungāfaifekau, ʻa ia ne ngāue ʻi Tahiti ko ha feituʻu mamaʻo atu. ʻI he laukonga ʻa ʻEtisoni fekauʻaki mo e tāmaté, naʻe kamata ke ongoʻi tuʻutuʻukina hono ngaahi neavé.[17]

Hili ha uike ʻe taha mei ai naʻe toe faitohi ʻa Noa kia ʻEtisoni. Naʻe ʻikai ke fuʻu ola lelei ʻa e ngāue fakafaifekau ʻi Tahití mo e ʻotu motu takatakai aí ʻo hangē ko e ngāue ʻa ʻEtisoni ʻi Tupuaí, pea naʻe taʻefiemālie ʻa Noa ʻi he ongoongo mei Nāvuú.

Naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻEtisoni ha ʻuhinga lelei ke muimui ʻia Noa. ʻI he pekia ko ʻeni ʻa Siosefá, naʻá ne manavasiʻi koeʻuhí ko hono fāmilí mo e siasí. Naʻá ne tohi ʻi heʻene tohinoá ʻo pehē, “Ko e ʻEikí pē ʻokú Ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e olá.”[19]

Naʻe tukufolau ʻa Noa hili ha ngaahi ʻaho mei ai, ka naʻe fili ʻa ʻEtisoni ke nofo mo e Kāingalotu Tupuaí. ʻI he Sāpate hono hokó, naʻá ne malanga tuʻo tolu ʻi he lea fakafonua Tupuaí pea tuʻo taha leva ʻi he lea faka-Pilitāniá.[20]

Naʻe fakapapauʻi heni ʻe Pilikihami mo e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ke tānaki ʻa e Kāingalotú ki he ngaahi teleʻa ʻi lalo hifo he Ngaahi Moʻunga Makamaká.
