Solomona abere abiribya mwami we Israeli, Yehova mwamubulya athi: ‘Wanzire ingakuhaki?’ Solomona mwasubirya athi: ‘Ngakine mulere, kandi singasi ekya nanga kolha. Kisi wunyihe amenge aw’erisondolha abandu bawu.’ Yehova mwabugha athi: ‘Kundi wabirisaba amenge, ngendikuyira mw’ow’amenge omwa kihugho. Kandi ngendi kuyira mwa mughuda kutsibu. Kandi wamanyowa, iwukendi syabyaho ebiro binene.’
