7 Benɛ Hiram nu Salomo munyu ɔmɛ ɔ, e nya wawɛɛ nɛ e de ke: “A je Yehowa yi mwɔnɛ ɔ, ejakaa e ha David binyumu nɛ́ ngɛ juɛmi, konɛ e ye nimli babauu nɛ ɔmɛ a nɔ!”
8 Kɛkɛ nɛ Hiram ngɔ sɛ gbi kɛ mane Salomo ke: “O sɛ gbi ɔ ba su mi. Ma pee nɔ́ fɛɛ nɔ́ nɛ o suɔ, nɛ ma ha mo seda tsohi kɛ junipa tsohi.
