"221Pea ko eni ‘a e ngaahi kolo na‘e kau ki he matakali ‘o ha‘a Penisimani, mo honau ngaahi fāmili, ko Sielikō, mo Pete-hokela, mo ‘Emeki-kesisi: 22mo Pete-‘ālapa, mo Sima-laimi, mo Pēteli: 23mo e ‘Āvimi, mo Pala, mo ‘Ōfila: 24mo Kēfali-‘Āmoni, mo e ‘Ōfeni, mo Kepa: ko e kolo ‘e hongofulu mā ua mo honau ngaahi vilisi. 25Ko Kinione, mo Lama, mo Pealoti: 26mo Mīsipa, mo Kēfila, mo Mosia: 27mo Lēkemi, mo ‘Ilipili, mo Tālala: 28mo Siela, ‘a ‘Ēlefi, mo Siepusi (ko Selusalema ia), ‘a Kipiati, ‘a Kiliati: ko e kolo ‘e hongofulu mā fā mo honau ngaahi vilisi. Ko e tofi‘a ia ‘o ha‘a Penisimani mo honau ngaahi fāmili."

Sios 18:28 “Ko e kolo ʻe hongofulu ma fā mo honau ngaahi vilisi. Ko e tofiʻa ia ʻo haʻa Penisimani mo honau ngaahi famili”. Ko Penisimani eni mo hono tofiʻa naʻe tuʻu ia ʻi loto ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Ifalemi ki he Tokelau, pea mo Siuta ki he tongá. Ko e foʻi lea “tofiʻa” ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ko e koloa, ko ʻete koloa, pe ko ʻete meʻa tonu, ʻo fakafehokotaki ia ki he ngaahi palomesi ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea kia kinautolu te nau ʻi he fonua ʻo talaʻofá (Sen 13:14-17). Pea ʻi he taimi naʻe ngāueʻaki ai ʻa e lea ko ení ʻi he fonua ʻo e talaʻofá, naʻe ʻikai ke ʻuhinga ia, pe ko e hā ha loto ʻo ha taha ke fai ki heʻene fānaú. Ka ko e ʻOtuá ko ia ʻoku ʻAʻana ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe ʻo e māmaní, pea ko ia te ne ʻoange ki hono kakaí ha konga kelekele, ko hoʻona ia tofiʻa, pea ko Ia pe te ne hanga ʻo fakapapauʻi honau ngaahi kauʻāfonua pea ne palomesi ke ʻoange ʻa e tofiʻa ko iá kia kinautolu. Neongo, ko e fakakaukau ki he tofiʻa ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻe fakalaka mai ia mo fakafaingofua ʻa e fakatahataha ʻo e fonuá ni. Ka ko Tevita mo Selemaia naʻa na fakapapauʻi fakatouʻosi, ko e ʻOtuá ʻiate Ia pe, ko e tofiʻa moʻoni pe ia ʻa hono kakaí, ʻa ia ko ʻIsileli ia (Sa 16:5 ; Sele 10:16) pea pehē mo kinautolu kuo nau tui mo falala moʻoni kia Kalaisí, he ko e kakai moʻoni ia ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku lava ke nau ʻilo ʻa e fiefia mo fakakakato ʻenau fetuʻutaki mo e ʻOtuá. Pea ʻou halaʻatā ʻa e māmani ko ení ha meʻa ke ne lava ʻo ʻomi ha tofiʻa, ʻo fakahoa ki he ʻOtua ʻe Ia. Ko Penisimani eni mo hono fāmilí kuo nau maʻu tofiʻa mo e ngaahi kolo, ʻi he ʻOtuá pē, pea moʻoni ʻa Pita “Ko e meʻa ʻi he toetuʻu ʻa Sīsū mei he pekiá, ʻio ke maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻoku taʻeʻauha mo taʻemele mo taʻemae, ʻa ia kuo taʻofia ʻi Hevani mo ʻo moutolu” (1 Pita 1:4) Ko ʻIsileli naʻa nau sio kinautolu ki he tofiʻa ʻi he fonua ʻo e talaʻofa (Nom 32:19) neongo naʻe uesia ʻa e tui ʻa e kakaí ʻe he kau Kenani hiteni naʻe ʻi aí. Ko e kau kalisitiane ʻo e ʻahó ni ʻoku nau sio fakamaʻumaʻu ki he tofiʻa ia ʻe taha – ko e moʻui taʻengatá ʻi he kolo taʻengata ʻo e ʻOtuá, kuo taʻofia ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e tofiʻá, ʻoku ʻikai ʻauha pe mele pe ʻe uesia ʻe he angahala, ko hoʻo kau he tofiʻá, ʻo kapau te ke falala kia Kalaisi ko ho Fakamoʻui.
