Kuó ke ongoʻi liʻekina ʻi ha taimi naʻe mamahi ai ha taha ʻokú mo vāofi ʻi he mate ha taha naʻe ʻofa ai? ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku tau ongoʻi taʻepauʻia pe ko e hā e meʻa te tau leaʻaki pe faí—ʻoku ʻikai ke tau faʻa leaʻaki pe fai ha meʻa. Ka ʻoku ʻi ai ha ngaahi meʻa ʻaonga ʻe lava ke tau fai.

ʻOku faʻa fiemaʻu ʻa hoʻo ʻi aí tonu mo fakahāhā ha ngaahi founga faingofua, hangē ko e “siʻi fakaʻofa.” ʻI he anga fakafonua lahi, ko ha fāʻofua anga-ʻofa ko e founga ola lelei ia ke fakahāhā ai hoʻo tokangá. Kapau ʻoku loto e tokotaha loto-mamahí ke talanoa atu, fanongo kaungāongoʻi. Ko e meʻa lelei tahá, ko hono fai ha meʻa maʻá e fāmili e tokotaha loto-mamahí, mahalo nai ko e fai ha ngāue ʻe ʻikai lava ke fai ʻe he tokotaha mamahí, hangē ko hono teuteu ha kiʻi meʻakai, tokangaʻi e fānaú pe tokoni ki he meʻa ʻoku fai ʻi he putú kapau ʻoku fiemaʻu. Ko e ngāue peheé ʻoku ʻaonga ange ia ʻi he leá.

ʻE faai atu e taimí ʻe fiemaʻu nai koe ke ke talanoa ʻo kau ki he tokotaha kuo maté pe lāulea ki heʻene ʻulungaanga leleí pe ko ʻene hokosia fakafiefiá. Ko e fetalanoaʻaki peheé ʻe lava nai ai ke ʻoatu e fiefia ki he tokotaha mamahí. Ko e fakatātaá, ko Pam—ne mate hono husepānití ʻi he taʻu ʻe ono kuohilí —naʻá ne pehē: “ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi ʻoku tala mai  ʻe he kakaí e ngaahi meʻa lelei ʻo fekauʻaki mo Lan ʻa ia ne ʻikai ʻaupito ke u ʻilo ki ai, pea ʻoku ʻai au ke u fiefia.”

ʻOku pehē ʻe he kau fakatotoló ko e tokolahi e faʻahinga loto-mamahí ʻoku vave hono fai ki ai ha tokoni ka ko ʻenau fiemaʻú kuo vave hono fakangaloʻí koeʻuhi ko e femoʻuekina e ngaahi kaungāmeʻá. Ko ia ai, feinga ke fetuʻutaki maʻu pē ki he tokotaha mamahí ʻi he ʻosi ʻa e putú. a Ko e tokolahi ʻoku mamahí ʻoku nau houngaʻia lahi ʻaupito ʻi he faingamālie ko iá ke fakaakeake mei he ongoʻi mamahi fuoloá.

Fakakaukau atu ki he hokosia ʻa Kaori, ko ha kiʻi finemui Siapani ne faingataʻaʻia ʻi he mate ʻene faʻeé pea hoko atu mo hono tokoua lahí hili ha māhina ʻe 15 mei ai. Ko e meʻa fakafiefiá, ko e tokoni hokohoko hono kaungāmeʻa mateakí. Ko e taha ʻo kinautolu ko Ritsuko naʻá ne taʻumotuʻa ange ʻia Kaori naʻá ne hoko ko ha kaumeʻa ofi. “Ko ʻeku lea he moʻoni,” ko e lea ia ʻa Kaori, “Ne ʻikai ke u fiefia heni. He naʻe ʻikai ke u loto ke toe ʻave ʻe ha taha e tuʻunga ʻo ʻeku faʻeé, pea ne ʻikai ʻaupito haʻaku fakakaukau ʻe lava eni ʻe ha taha. Kae kehe, koeʻuhi ko e founga naʻe tōʻongafai mai ai ʻa Mama Ritsuko, naʻá ku ongoʻi ofi kiate ia. ʻI he uike taki taha, naʻá ma ngāue fakamalanga fakataha mo maʻu e fakataha faka-Kalisitiané. Naʻá ne fakaafeʻi au ke ma ipu tī, ʻomai mo ʻeku meʻakai pea tohi mai mo ʻomi ha kaati ʻi ha ngaahi taimi. Ko e ʻulungaanga lelei ʻa Mama Ritsuko naʻá ne tākiekina lelei au.”

Hili ha taʻu ʻe taha ua ʻa e mālōlō e faʻē ʻa Kaori, ʻi he ʻahó ni ko ia mo hono husepānití ʻokú na ngāue fakaʻevangeliō taimi-kakato. “Ko Mama Ritsuko,” ko e lea ia ʻa Kaori, “ʻokú ne hokohoko atu ʻene tokanga ʻofa kiate aú. ʻI heʻeku foki ki ʻapí, ʻoku ou faʻa ʻaʻahi kiate ia mo fiefia ʻi he feohi fakatupu langa hake mo iá.”

Ko e fakatātā ʻe taha ʻo ha taha naʻá ne maʻu ʻaonga mei he tokoni hokohoko kuo fai angé ko Poli, ko e taha ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻi Saipalo. Ko Poli naʻá ne maʻu ha husepāniti anga-ʻofa ko Sozos ʻa ia naʻá ne fokotuʻu ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ko ha tauhi-sipi faka-Kalisitiane ʻi heʻene toutou fakaafeʻi e kau paeá mo e uitoú ki hona ʻapí ki ha feohi mo ha houa kai. (Sēmisi 1:27) Ko e meʻa fakamamahí ne mate ʻa Sozos ʻi hono taʻu 53 ko ha foʻi ngungu ʻi hono ʻutó. “Naʻe mālōlō hoku husepāniti mateakí hili ʻema nofo mali ʻi ha taʻu ʻe 33,” ko e lea ia ʻa Poli.

ʻI he ʻosi e putú, ne hiki ʻa Poli ki Kānata mo hono foha siʻisiʻi taha, taʻu 15 ko Daniel. ʻI aí, naʻá na kamata ke feohi mo e fakatahaʻanga ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová. “Ko hoku kaungāmeʻa ʻi he fakatahaʻanga foʻou ko ení,” ko e manatu ia ʻa Poli “naʻe ʻikai ke nau ʻiloʻi ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻo fekauʻaki mo homa kuohilí pea mo ʻema faingataʻaʻiá. Ka naʻe ʻikai ke taʻofi ai ʻenau fakalea mai mo ʻenau fakafiemālié ʻaki ha ngaahi lea anga-ʻofa mo ha tokoni ʻaonga. He fakafiefia ē ko e tokoni naʻe fai maí, tautefito ki he taimi naʻe fiemaʻu lahi taha ai ʻe hoku fohá ʻene tamaí! Ko e faʻahinga taki muʻa ʻi he fakatahaʻangá naʻa nau fakahāhā e mahuʻingaʻia fakafoʻituitui ʻia Daniel. Ko e meʻa tefito ʻe taha ko hono fakakau ʻa Daniel ʻi he fakafeohi mo e kaungāmeʻá pe ko e ō ʻo vaʻinga.” ʻI he ʻahó ni, fakatouʻosi ʻa e faʻeé mo hono fohá ʻokú na fakalakalaka ai pē.

Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku lahi e ngaahi founga ʻe lava ke tau fai ke tokoniʻi mo fakafiemālie ki he faʻahinga ʻoku mamahí. ʻOku toe fakafiemālieʻi kitautolu ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻo fakafou ʻi he ʻamanaki fakafiefia ki he kahaʻú.
