ETYI Salomau alinga ohamba ankho omukuendye omututu. Mahi, Salomau ankho uhole Yehova. Moluotyo, waendela monondonga onongwa apelwe na tate yae David. Yehova ahambukilwa unene Salomau. Ngotyo, onthiki imue kounthiki, Yehova watolela Salomau kondyoi okuti: ‘Salomau, oityi uhanda ndyikuavele?’

Salomau akumbulula okuti: ‘Yehova Huku yange, ame ndyi-​mukuendye omututu, hityii oñgeni mandyitumina. Ngotyo, ndyavele ounongo opo ndyityivile okutumina ovanthu vove nonkhalelo yaviuka.’

Ina yotyotyili yomona oo, eliyavela okuti: ‘Mbambavo, wahaipae omona. Mupei vala mukuetu.’ Mahi, omukai omukuavo ati: ‘Enga, mutetei pokati muhemupei nawike.’

Okuhulako Salomau ati: ‘Wahaipae omona. Muavela omukai wotete. Mokonda oe ina yotyotyili.’ Salomau ankho utyii okuti ina yotyotyili una oluembia olunene nomona wae. Mokonda ankho kahande aipawe, watavela omona apewe mukuavo. Etyi ovanthu vetyiiva oñgeni Salomau atetulula otyitateka otyo, avahambukwa unene. Mokonda ankho vena ohamba omunongo.
