25 Ejakaa mwɔnɛ ɔ, e kple kɛ ho nɛ e kɛ na kuhi, lohwehi nɛ a wo zɔ, kɛ jijɔhi babauu ya sã afɔle, nɛ e fɔ matsɛ binyumu ɔmɛ tsuo, tabo nya dali ɔmɛ, kɛ osɔfo Abiatar nine. A kɛ lɛ ngɛ ní yee, nɛ a ngɛ ní nue ngɛ lejɛ ɔ, nɛ a ngɛ dee ke, ‘Matsɛ Adoniya se nɛ kɛ!’

32 Oya nɔuu nɛ Matsɛ David de ke: “Nyɛ tsɛ osɔfo Zadok, gbalɔ Natan, kɛ Benaya, Yehoyada binyumu ɔ ha mi.” Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, a ba matsɛ ɔ hɛ mi.
33 Matsɛ ɔ de mɛ ke: “Nyɛɛ ngɔ nyɛ nyɔmtsɛ ɔ sɔmɔli ɔmɛ kɛ piɛɛ nyɛ he, nɛ nyɛ ha nɛ ye binyumu Salomo nɛ hi imi nitsɛ ye teji okpɔngɔ* ɔ nɔ, nɛ nyɛɛ kɛ lɛ nɛ kple kɛ ya Gihon.
