Ingamiya zaage zâli heesiri amalaasi, naꞌkanyamwala keꞌnooro, naꞌmabuye ágakeyengiini.

Uyo mwami-kazi, iri akayiji bona Sulumaani, anatondeera ukumúbuuza ibibuuzo bingi. 2 Birya bibuuzo byage byoshi, Sulumaani anakizi bishuvya. Ndaanalyo igambo lyo atakahasha ukumúsobanulira.

Ubwitegeereze bwawe, noꞌbugale bwawe, bitalusiri bweneene ngiisi kwo nꞌgabwirwa.

7 «Yaba bandu bali bahiirwa bweneene. Kiri na yaba bakulu baawe, bali bahiirwa, bwo bali mu yimanga imbere lyawe ngiisi lusiku, iri banayuvwiriza ubwitegeereze bwawe. 8 Nahano Rurema wawe akizi yivugwa. Mukuba, akakusiima, anakuyimika ube mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri, bwo abakuuziri, analoziizi ukubasikamya halinde imyaka neꞌmyakuula. Na íbitumiri akakuyimika, lyo ukizi twala ku njira íkwaniini, inali yoꞌkuli.»

9 Iri hakatama, uyo mwami-kazi anaheereza mwami itooni zishatu neꞌkitolo zeꞌnooro, naꞌkanyamwala kaꞌmalaasi, naꞌmabuye ágakeyengiini. yako kanyamwala kaꞌmalaasi, ndaaye gundi mundu úkakaleetera mwami Sulumaani.

Emwe! Ibindu mwene yibi, bitâli zaazi boneka mu kihugo kyeꞌBuyuda.

12 Mwami Sulumaani anatengula umwami-kazi weꞌSheeba akanyamwala keꞌbindu ku mutima úgushenguusiri. Na ku luhande lwage yenyene, anamúheereza ngiisi byo âli yifwijiri. Na byoshi byo mwami akamúheereza, byâli himiri byo mwami-kazi akamútengula.

Iri hakazinda, uyo mwami-kazi analyoka yaho, anagalukira imwage, kuguma naꞌbakozi baage booshi.

13 Ngiisi mwaka, Sulumaani âli kizi yakiira itooni makumi gabiri zeꞌnooro. 14 Yizo nooro, zitâli mweꞌnooro zo âli kizi longa ku mirambu yaꞌbadandaza. Na kandi, abaami booshi beꞌBuharaabu bâli kizi múheereza inooro neꞌharija. Kiri na baguvuruneeri baage, bakagira kwokwo. 15 Mwiꞌyo nooro, Sulumaani analingaania isiribo mbamu magana gabiri. Na ngiisi nguma yâli noꞌbuzito bweꞌbilo ndatu-ndatu. 16 Anashubi lingaania isiribo niini-niini, magana gashatu. Ngiisi nguma, yâli riiri mweꞌnooro yeꞌbilo bishatu-bishatu. Yizo siribo zooshi, anagendi zisingula mu nyumba íri mu buuzibwa Nyumba yoꞌLubako lweꞌLebanooni.

17 Mwami Sulumaani anakoleesa ikitumbi kihamu kyeꞌbwami mu mahembe geꞌnjovu, anakibugiiriza kweꞌnooro muguuhya. 18 Yikyo kitumbi kyâli neꞌbishonero ndatu, kyanâli kinanike kweꞌhitumbi hyeꞌnooro hyoꞌkulaaviza kwo. Kyâli naꞌhandu hoꞌkulambika amaboko. Kyâli limbisiibwi neꞌbishushanio bibiri byeꞌndare, ngiisi luhande kiguma-kiguma.

19 Na ku birya bishonero ndatu, kwâli teresirwi ibindi bishushanio ikumi na bibiri byeꞌndare, ngiisi luhande ndatu-ndatu. Emwe! Mu maami gooshi ga mu kihugo, ndaakyo kindi kitumbi íkyâli nga kyo.

24 Yabo bandu, ikyanya bâli kizi yija, bâli kizi múleetera indengu za íbikatulwa mu harija, na mu nooro. Bâli kizi múleetera kiri naꞌmakanju, neꞌbilwaniiso, naꞌmalaasi, neꞌfwarasi, neꞌbiiza bya bapunda. Yizo ndengu, zâli kizi yija ngiisi mwaka.

25 Sulumaani anabiika amagaare giꞌzibo, kuguma neꞌfwarasi, mu bisiika bihumbi bina. Âli hiiti neꞌzindi fwarasi bihumbi ikumi na bibiri, anasingula nguma mu twaya twaꞌmagaare giꞌzibo, neꞌzindi i Yerusaleemu.*9.25 1 Baami 5.6. 26 Anaba mutwali waꞌbandi baami booshi, ukulyokera ku lwiji Hefuraati, halinde mu kihugo kyeꞌBufirisiti, na ku lubibi lweꞌMiisiri.†9.26 Ndondeko 15.18; 1 Baami 5.1.
