Ngaahi Fakakaukau Maʻá e Lotu Fakafāmilí mo e Ako Fakafoʻituituí
ʻI HE kamataʻanga ʻo e 2009, ko e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻa e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihova ʻi māmani lahí naʻe feʻunuʻaki ʻenau taimi-tēpile fakatahá. Naʻe fakatahaʻi e ongo fakataha lolotonga ʻa e uiké, pea naʻe fakalototoʻaʻi kotoa ke ngāueʻaki ʻa e efiafi ʻataá maʻá e lotu fakafāmilí pe ako fakafoʻituituí. Kuó ke ngāueʻaongaʻaki ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu foʻoú? ʻOkú ke maʻu ʻaonga kakato mei ai?
Kuo fifili ʻa e niʻihi pe ko e hā ʻa e fakamatala ʻoku totonu ke nau fili ke fai ki ai e lāuleá lolotonga ʻa e lotu fakafāmilí. ʻOku ʻikai ko e taumuʻa ia e Kulupu Pulé ke fokotuʻu ha founga ʻe taha maʻá e ngaahi fāmili kotoa. Koeʻuhi ko e kehekehe e ngaahi tuʻungá, ʻoku totonu ki he ʻuluʻi fāmili pe tokotaha tāutaha ke fakafuofuaʻi pe ʻe lava fēfē ke ngāueʻaki e taimi fakauike ko ení ʻi he founga lelei tahá.
Kuo teuteu ʻa e niʻihi ki he ngaahi fakataha ʻa e fakatahaʻangá, ka ko e lotu fakafāmilí ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ia ke fakangatangata pē ki ai. Ko e niʻihi kuo nau lautohi, fetalanoaʻaki, pea naʻa mo hono fakatātaaʻi e fakamatala Fakatohitapú, tautefito ke maʻu ʻaonga mei ai ʻa e fānau iiki angé. ʻE ʻikai nai fiemaʻu maʻu pē pe naʻa mo hono fiemaʻu ke ngāueʻaki ha founga fehuʻi mo e tali, hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻi he ngaahi fakataha anga-mahení. ʻOku faʻa tokoni lahi ange ha ʻatimosifia nonga ki ha fetalanoaʻaki fakaueʻiloto mo e felīngiaki ʻo e ngaahi fakakaukaú. ʻOku pouaki ʻe ha ʻatimosifia pehē ʻa e fakakaukau ʻilo meʻá, ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ʻai ai e taimi ko iá ke fakangalongataʻa mo fakafiefia ki he tokotaha kotoa.
ʻOku tohi ʻe he tamai ʻa ha fānau ʻe toko tolu: “Ko e meʻa kuo mau faí ʻoku meimei fakatefito ia ʻi he lau Tohi Tapú. ʻOku mau lau tāutaha ʻa e ngaahi vahé ki muʻa, ʻoku fili ʻe he fānaú ʻa e tafaʻaki ʻe niʻihi ki ha fekumi, pea ʻoku nau fakahaaʻi leva ʻa e ola ʻenau ngaahi fekumí. Ko Maikolo [taʻu fitu] ʻokú ne faʻa tā ha fakatātā pe tohi ha palakalafi. Ko Tēvita mo Kaitlyn [taʻu 13 mo e 15] te na tohi nai fekauʻaki mo ha talanoa Fakatohitapu mei he anga ʻo e vakai ʻa ha tokotaha mamata. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi he taimi naʻa mau lau ai fekauʻaki mo hono fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻe Siosifa e misi ʻa e tangata taʻo mā ʻa Feló mo ʻene tangata ngaohi-kavá, naʻe faʻu ʻe Kaitlyn ha fakamatala mei he anga ʻo e vakai ʻa ha pōpula naʻe sio hono fakamatalaʻi ʻa e meʻá.”—Sen., vahe 40.
Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku kehekehe ʻa e ngaahi tuʻungá. Ko e meʻa ʻe ngāue ki he toko taha pe fāmili ko ē ʻe ʻikai nai ngāue ia ki hē. Ko e puha ʻoku ʻoatu fakataha hení ʻoku ʻomai ai ha fakakaukau kehekehe ʻa ia ʻe ngāueʻaki nai lolotonga hoʻo ngaahi taimi lotu fakafāmilí pe ako fakafoʻituituí. ʻOku ngalingali ange, ʻe lava ke ke fakakaukau ki ha ngaahi meʻa lahi kehe.
