OBLANYO fioo ji Salomo beni ebatsɔ maŋtsɛ lɛ. Esumɔɔ Yehowa, ni enyiɛɔ ŋaawoo kpakpa ni etsɛ David kɛha lɛ lɛ sɛɛ. Yehowa ná Salomo he miishɛɛ, no hewɔ lɛ gbi ko gbɛkɛ lɛ etsɔ lamɔ nɔ ekɛ lɛ wie akɛ: ‘Salomo, mɛni obaasumɔ ni maha bo?’

Salomo ha hetoo akɛ: ‘Yehowa mi-Nyɔŋmɔ, gbekɛ bibioo ji mi, ni mileee bɔ ni ayeɔ maŋtsɛ. No hewɔ lɛ ha mi nilee ni mikɛye owebii lɛ anɔ yɛ gbɛ ni ja nɔ.’

Yehowa ná nɔ ni Salomo bi lɛ he miishɛɛ. No hewɔ lɛ E-kɛɛ akɛ: ‘Akɛni obi nilee shi obiii wala sɛɛkɛlɛ loo ninamɔ hewɔ lɛ, maha bo nilee babaoo fe mɔ fɛɛ mɔ ni ehi shi pɛŋ. Shi masaa maha bo nɔ ni obiko lɛ hu, ninamɔ kɛ anunyam babaoo hu.’

Yɛ no sɛɛ be fioo mli lɛ, yei enyɔ komɛi kɛ sane ko ni mli wa waa ba Salomo ŋɔɔ. Mɔ kome tsɔɔ mli akɛ: ‘Mikɛ yoo nɛɛ fɛɛ yɔɔ shia kome mli. Ni mifɔ binuu, ni no sɛɛ gbii enyɔ lɛ, lɛ hu efɔ binuu.

Beni maŋbii lɛ nu bɔ ni Salomo ye sane lɛ eha lɛ, eŋɔɔ amɛnaa akɛ amɛna maŋtsɛ nilelɔ ni tamɔ nɛkɛ.
