Ko e Manatu ki Heʻeku ʻUluaki ʻOfá Kuo Tokoniʻi Ai Au Ke U Kītaki

ʻI HE kamataʻanga ʻo e faʻahitaʻu māfana ʻo e 1970, naʻá ku tokoto ai ʻi hoku mohengá ʻi he Falemahaki Valley Forge General, ʻi Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, ʻi ʻAmelika. Naʻe fua ʻe ha neesi tangata hoku totó ʻi he haafe houa kotoa pē. Ko ha sōtia taʻu 20 au pea naʻá ku puke lahi ʻi ha mahaki pipihi. Ko e nēsí ʻa ia naʻá ne kiʻi taʻumotuʻa ange ʻiate au, naʻá ne mataʻi hohaʻa. ʻI he hokohoko atu ke tōlalo hoku totó, naʻá ku pehē ange, “Kuo teʻeki ai ke ke sio ʻi ha mate ha taha, ʻikai ko ia?” Naʻe kula hono matá, peá ne tali mai, “Teʻeki ai.”

ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe hā ngali nenefu hoku kahaʻú. Ka naʻe anga-fēfē ʻeku iku mai ki he falemahakí? Sai, tuku ke u talanoa atu ki heʻeku moʻuí.

KO ʻEKU KAMATA ʻI HE TAÚ

Naʻá ku hoko ʻo puke ʻi heʻeku ngāue ko ha tokotaha tokoni ʻi he loki tafá lolotonga ʻa e tau ko ia ʻi Vietinemí. Naʻá ku fiefia ʻi hono tokoniʻi ʻa e kau mahakí mo e kau laveá pea ko ʻeku taumuʻá ke hoko ko ha toketā faitafa. Naʻá ku tūʻuta ʻi Vietinemi ʻi Siulai 1969.

Naʻá ku fakatokangaʻi atu ha ngaahi uta ko ha ngaahi tangai milemila ʻuliʻuli naʻe teʻeki ai fakahifo mai mei he ngaahi helikopetá. Naʻe tala mai kiate au ko e ngaahi tangai ko iá ko e ngaahi kongokonga ia ʻo e sino ʻo e kau sōtia ne nau mate ʻi he taú. Ko ʻeku kamata ia ʻi he taú.

KO ʻEKU FEKUMI KI HE ʻOTUÁ

ʻI heʻeku kei siʻí, naʻe ʻi ai ʻeku kiʻi ʻilo ki he moʻoní

ʻI heʻeku kei siʻí, naʻe ʻi ai ʻeku kiʻi ʻilo ki he moʻoni naʻe akoʻi ʻe he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová. Naʻe ako Tohi Tapu siʻeku fineʻeikí mo e Kau Fakamoʻoní ka naʻe ʻikai te ne fakalakalaka ki he papitaisó. Naʻá ku fiefia ʻaupito ʻi he kau he ako ʻeku fineʻeikí. ʻI he taimi nai ko iá, naʻá ku fakalaka atu mo ʻeku tamai-uá ʻi ha Fale Fakatahaʻanga. Naʻá ku ʻeke ange kiate ia, “Ko e hā ē?” Naʻá ne pehē mai, “ʻOua ʻaupito naʻá ke fakaofiofi ki he kakai ko iá!” Koeʻuhí naʻá ku ʻofa mo falala ki heʻeku tamai-uá, naʻá ku fai ki heʻene faleʻí. Ko ia ai, naʻe ʻikai ke u toe fetuʻutaki mo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová.

Hili ʻeku foki mai mei Vietinemí, naʻá ku ongoʻi ʻa e fiemaʻu ki heʻeku moʻuí ʻa e ʻOtuá. Naʻe hanga ʻe he ngaahi manatu tamakí ʻo lōmekina fakaeongo au. Naʻe hā ngali naʻe ʻikai mahinoʻi moʻoni ʻe ha taha ʻa e meʻa naʻe hoko ʻi Vietinemí. ʻOku ou manatu ai ki he laka fakahāhā ʻa ia naʻe ui ai ʻe he kau laká ʻa e kau sōtia ʻAmeliká ko e kau tāmate pēpē koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi lipooti fekauʻaki mo hono tamateʻi ʻo e fānau tonuhiá ʻi he taú.

Ke fakalato ʻeku fiekaia fakalaumālié, naʻe kamata ke u maʻu lotu ʻi he ngaahi siasi kehekehe. Naʻá ku ʻofa maʻu pē ki he ʻOtuá ka naʻe ʻikai maongo ia kiate au ʻi he ngaahi lotu kehé. Fakaʻosí, naʻe iku ʻou ʻalu ki ha Fale Fakatahaʻanga ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻi Delray Beach, Fololita. Naʻe hoko eni ʻi he ʻaho Sāpate ʻo Fepueli 1971.

ʻI heʻeku hū atú, ko e meimei ʻosi ia ʻa e malanga maʻá e kakaí, ko ia naʻá ku nofo ai pē ki he ako Taua Leʻo. ʻOku ʻikai te u manatuʻi ʻa e kaveinga naʻe lāulea ki aí, ka ʻoku ou kei manatuʻi ʻa e fānau īkí ʻi heʻenau huke ʻa e Tohi Tapú ke kumi ʻa e ngaahi konga tohí. Naʻe maongo moʻoni ia kiate au! Naʻá ku fanongo mo mamata fakalongolongo pē. ʻI heʻeku mavahe mei he Fale Fakatahaʻangá, naʻe fakaofiofi mai ha tokoua ʻofeina ʻa ia naʻá ne taʻu 80 nai. Ko hono hingoá ko Jim Gardner. Naʻá ne ʻomai ha tohi naʻe fakakaveinga Ko e Moʻoni ʻa Ia ʻOku Fakatau ki he Moʻui Taʻengata peá ne ʻeke mai, “Kātaki te ke saiʻia ke maʻu eni?” Naʻá ma fokotuʻu ʻa e pongipongi Tuʻapulelulú ke fakahoko ai ʻema ʻuluaki ako Tohi Tapú.

Naʻe pau ke u ngāue ʻi he pō Sāpate ko iá. Naʻá ku ngāue ʻi ha falemahaki ʻi Boca Raton, Fololita, ʻa ia naʻá ku ngāue ai ʻi he loki ki he ngaahi meʻa fakavavevavé. Naʻá ku ngāue mei he 11:00 poʻulí ki he 7:00 pongipongí. Koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai fuʻu lahi ʻa e ngāué, naʻe malava ai ke u lau ʻa e tohi Moʻoní. Naʻe fakaofiofi mai ha neesi māʻolunga ʻo ne hamusi ʻa e tohí mei hoku nimá ʻo sio ki he takafí peá ne kaila, “Te ke hoko ko ha taha ʻo kinautolu, ʻikai ko ia?” Naʻa ku hamusi mai ʻeku tohí peá u pehē ange, “Ko e vaeua pē eni ʻeku lau ʻa e tohí, ka ko e moʻoni ʻoku hangē ʻe peheé!” Naʻá ne mavahe leva, pea naʻá ku lau fakaʻosi ʻa e tohí ʻi he pō ko iá.

Ko ʻeku faiako Tohi Tapú ko Jim Gardner, ko ha tokoua pani ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻa Charles Taze Russell

Naʻe kamata ʻeku ʻuluaki ako Tohi Tapú mo Tokoua Gardner ʻaki ʻeku ʻeke ange, “Ko ia, ko e hā ʻa e meʻa te ta akó?” Naʻá ne tali mai, “Ko e tohi ko ia naʻá ku ʻoatú.” Naʻá ku pehē ange, “Kuo ʻosi ia heʻeku lau.” Naʻe tali anga-ʻofa mai ʻa Tokoua Gardner, “Sai, ta lāulea pē ʻi he vahe ʻuluakí.” Naʻá ku ʻohovale ʻi he lahi ʻo e ngaahi meʻa naʻe ʻikai ke u ʻiló. Naʻá ne ʻai ke u kumi ʻa e ngaahi konga Tohi Tapu lahi ʻi heʻeku Tohi Tapu lanu kulokula King James. Naʻe faai atu pē ʻou ako fekauʻaki mo e ʻOtua moʻoní, ʻa Sihova. Naʻá ku ako mo Tokoua Gardner ʻa ia naʻá ku ui anga-ʻofa ia ko Jim, ʻa e vahe ʻe tolu ʻo e tohi Moʻoní ʻi he pongipongi ko iá. Talu mei ai mo ʻema ako ʻa e vahe ʻe tolu ʻi he pongipongi Tuʻapulelulu kotoa pē. Naʻá ku fiefia ʻaupito ʻi he ngaahi ako ko iá. Ko ha monū ia ke akoʻi au ʻe ha tokoua pani ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻiloʻi lelei ʻa Charles T. Russell!

Hili ha ngaahi uike siʻi, naʻe tali ke u hoko ko ha tokotaha malanga ʻo e ongoongo leleí. Naʻe tokoni mai ʻa Jim ki heʻeku ngaahi hohaʻá, ʻo kau ai ʻa e pole ʻo e ngāue fakafaifekau fale-ki-he-falé. (Ngā. 20:20) ʻI he taimi naʻá ku ngāue fakataha ai mo Jim, naʻe kamata ke u fiefia ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá. ʻOku ou kei vakai ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú ko hoku monū lahi tahá ia. He meʻa fakafiefia ē ke hoko ko e kaungāngāue ʻo e ʻOtuá!—1 Kol. 3:9.

Tuku ke u talanoa atu fekauʻaki mo ha meʻa mātuʻaki fakafoʻituitui—ko ʻeku ʻuluaki ʻofá kia Sihova. (Fkh. 2:4) Kuo tokoniʻi au ʻe he ʻofa ko ia kia Sihová ke fekuki ai mo e ngaahi manatu tamaki ki he taimi taú pea pehē ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi lahi kehe.—ʻAi. 65:17.

Kuo tokoniʻi au ʻe heʻeku ʻofa kia Sihová ke fekuki ai mo e ngaahi manatu tamaki ki he taimi taú mo e ngaahi ʻahiʻahi lahi kehe

Naʻá ku papitaiso ʻi Siulai 1971 lolotonga ʻa e ʻAsemipilī Fakavahe “Huafa Fakaʻotuá” ʻi he Yankee Stadium

ʻOku ou manatuʻi ha ʻaho fakangalongataʻa ʻi he faʻahitaʻu failau ʻo e 1971. Naʻe toki tuli au mei he fale nofo totongi naʻe fakaʻatā heʻeku ongo mātuʻá ke u nofo aí. Naʻe ʻikai loto ʻeku tamai-uá ke nofo ha taha ʻo e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻi hono ʻapí! Naʻe ʻikai lahi ʻeku paʻangá ʻi he taimi ko iá. Naʻá ku vahe fakauike ua mei he falemahaki naʻá ku ngāue aí, pea naʻá ku toki fakamole ʻa e meimei kotoa ʻeku vahé ʻi he fakatau mai hoku vala koeʻuhí ke u lava ʻo kau ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú mo fakafofongaʻi lelei ʻa Sihova. Naʻe ʻi ai pē ʻeku kiʻi paʻanga naʻe tātānaki, ka naʻe fakahū ia ʻi he pangikē ʻi Michigan, ʻa e siteiti naʻá ku tupu hake aí. Ko ia naʻe pau ai ke u nofo pē ʻi heʻeku meʻalelé ʻi ha ngaahi ʻaho siʻi. Naʻá ku tele kava mo teuteu ʻi he fale kaukau ʻi he pausá.

ʻI he ʻaho ʻe taha lolotonga ʻa e taimi naʻá ku nofo ai ʻi heʻeku meʻalelé, naʻá ku aʻu ai ki he Fale Fakatahaʻangá ʻi ha ngaahi houa ki muʻa ke fakataha ʻa e kulupú ki he ngāue fakamalangá. Naʻá ku toki tuku ngāue mai mei he falemahakí. ʻI heʻeku tangutu ʻi mui ʻi he Fale Fakatahaʻangá ʻi he feituʻu naʻe ʻikai lava ke sio mai ha tahá, ko e ngaahi manatu fekauʻaki mo Vietinemí—ko e nanamu hono tutu ʻo e sino ʻo e tangatá pea mo e sioloto ki he totó mo e tāmaté—naʻe kamata ke ne lōmekina au. ʻI hoku ʻatamaí, naʻe lava ke u fanongo mo sio lelei ki he kōlenga mai ʻa e kau talavoú, “Te u moʻui?

Naʻá ku lotu ʻi he loʻimataʻia. (Saame 56:8) Naʻe kamata ke u fakakaukau lahi fekauʻaki mo e ʻamanaki ʻo e toetuʻú. Naʻe maongo leva ia ki hoku lotó: Fakafou ʻi he toetuʻú, ʻe toʻo atu ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi tāmate tavale kotoa naʻá ku sio aí mo e loto-mamahi naʻá ku hokosia mo e niʻihi kehé. ʻE toe fokotuʻu hake ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e kau talavou ko ení, pea te nau maʻu ʻa e faingamālie ke ako ʻa e moʻoni fekauʻaki mo iá. (Ngā. 24:15) ʻI he taimi ko iá, naʻe fonu hoku lotó ʻi he ʻofa kia Sihová ʻa ia naʻe maongo moʻoni ia ki heʻeku moʻuí. ʻOku kei fakangalongataʻa pē ʻa e ʻaho ko iá kiate au.

Ka kuo tokoniʻi au ʻi he fakalaulauloto ki he ongo konga Tohi Tapu ʻoku ou manako aí. ʻUluakí, ko e Fakahā 12:10, 11, ʻa ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻoku ikuʻi ʻa e Tēvoló ʻo ʻikai ko ʻetau faifakamoʻoní pē kae toe pehē ki he taʻataʻa ʻo e Lamí.
