Be ni Solomon batsɔ Israelbii lɛ amaŋtsɛ lɛ, Yehowa bi lɛ akɛ: ‘Mɛni oosumɔ ni mahã bo?’ Solomon kɛɛ lɛ akɛ: ‘Midako, ni mileee nɔ ni mafee.

Ehe afii kpawo dani ama sɔlemɔ shĩa lɛ agbe naa. No sɛɛ lɛ, Solomon jɔɔ nɔ ehã Yehowa. Akɛ afɔlei srɔtoi shwie afɔleshaa latɛ ni yɔɔ sɔlemɔ shĩa lɛ mli lɛ nɔ. Kɛkɛ ni Solomon kula shi yɛ afɔleshaa latɛ lɛ hiɛ ni esɔle ekɛɛ: ‘Ao Yehowa, oda ni ohiɛ yɛ nyam kwraa fe sɔlemɔ shĩa nɛɛ. Shi ofainɛ, kɛ́ wɔbajá bo yɛ biɛ lɛ, kpɛlɛmɔ nɔ, ni kɛ́ wɔsɔle lɛ, bo wɔ toi.’ Ani Yehowa hiɛ sɔ sɔlemɔ shĩa lɛ? Ani ebo Solomon sɔlemɔ lɛ toi? Hɛɛ. Be ni Solomon sɔle egbe naa nɔŋŋ ni la jɛ ŋwɛi ebashã afɔlei ni yɔɔ afɔleshaa latɛ lɛ nɔ lɛ. Enɛ hã Israelbii lɛ na akɛ, Yehowa hiɛ esɔ sɔlemɔ shĩa lɛ, ni amɛmii shɛ amɛhe waa.
