Ɔwaree Farao babea, de no baa Dawid Kurow mu, kosii sɛ owiee nʼankasa ahemfi, yɛn Agya fi ne Yerusalem ho fasu no si. ²Nanso na nnipa no da so ara rebɔ afɔre wɔ sorɔnsorɔmmea, efisɛ saa bere no na wɔnnya nsii fi biara mmaa yɛn Agya din. ^a a v2 Sorɔnsorɔmmea no yɛ mpɔtam hɔ afɔrebɔbea a ɛwɔ nkoko so, faako a nnipa bɔɔ afɔre ansa na asɔredan no rebɛma ɔsom anya baabi koro. ³Solomon dɔɔ yɛn Agya, na ɔnam nʼagya Dawid ahyɛde so tenaa ase; nanso ɔbɔɔ afɔre na ɔhyew aduhuam wɔ sorɔnsorɔmmea. ⁴Ɔhene no kɔɔ Gibeon kɔbɔɔ afɔre, efisɛ ɛhɔ ne sorɔnsorɔmmea a ɛso sen biara; Solomon bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre apem wɔ saa afɔremuka no so.

⁵Wɔ Gibeon, yɛn Agya yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Solomon wɔ dae mu anadwo ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bisa nea ɛsɛ sɛ mede ma wo.”

⁶Solomon buaa se, “Woda apam adɔe kɛse adi kyerɛɛ wʼakoa Dawid, mʼagya, efisɛ ɔde nokwaredi, trenee ne koma a ɛtene nantew wʼanim wɔ wo ho. Woakora saa apam adɔe kɛse yi ama no, de ɔba ama no sɛ ɔntena nʼahengua so nnɛ. ⁷Afei, mʼAgya, woama wʼakoa abɛyɛ ɔhene asi mʼagya Dawid anan mu, ɛwom sɛ meyɛ abofra ketewa bi a minnim sɛnea mefi adi anaa mɛba mu de. ⁸Wʼakoa wɔ wo nkurɔfo, nnipa a woapaw wɔn no mu—wɔdɔɔso dodo sɛ obi bɛkan wɔn anaa obebu wɔn akontaa. ⁹Enti ma wʼakoa koma a ɛhu nneɛma mu de bu wo nkurɔfo, na ɔhu papa ne bɔne mu nsonsonoe. Efisɛ hena na obetumi abu wo nkurɔfo bebree yi?”

¹⁰Ɛsɔɔ Agya Otumfo ani sɛ Solomon abisa saa ade yi.

¹¹Yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Esiane sɛ woabisa saa ade yi, na wommisaa nkwa tenten anaa ahonyade anaa wʼatamfo nkwa, na mmom woabisa nhumu a wode bɛte atɛntrenee ase nti, ¹²mereyɛ sɛnea woaka no: Mede koma a ɛwɔ nyansa na ɛhu nneɛma mu ma wo—obiara nni hɔ a odii wʼanim kan a ɔte sɛ wo, na obiara a ɔte sɛ wo rensɔre wʼakyi. ¹³Mede nea wommisaa nso ma wo: ahonyade ne animuonyam, sɛnea ɔhene biara rentumi ne wo nsɛ wo nkwa nna nyinaa. ¹⁴Sɛ wonantew mʼakwan so, di me mmara ne me ahyɛde so sɛnea wʼagya Dawid yɛe a, mɛma wo nna atenten.”

¹⁵Solomon nyanee, na ohuu sɛ ɛyɛ dae. Ɔkɔɔ Yerusalem, kogyinaa Agya Otumfo apam adaka no anim, bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre, na ɔtoo pon maa ne nkoa nyinaa.

¹⁶Afei mmea baanu a wɔyɛ aguamammfo baa ɔhene no nkyɛn, begyinaa nʼanim. ¹⁷Ɔbaa baako kae se, “Mesrɛ wo, me wura, me ne ɔbaa yi te fi baako mu, na mewoo ba wɔ fi no mu bere a ɔwɔ hɔ. ¹⁸Mewoo no ɛda a ɛtɔ so abiɛsa no, ɔbaa yi nso woo ba. Yɛn nko na yɛwɔ hɔ; ɔhɔho biara nka yɛn ho wɔ fi no mu, gye yɛn baanu nko ara. ¹⁹Anadwo no, ɔbaa yi ba no wuu, efisɛ ɔdaa ne so. ²⁰Ɔsɔree dasuom, faa me ba fii me nkyɛn bere a wʼafenaa da, de no too ne nufu ho, na ɔde ne ba a wawu no too me nufu ho. ²¹Bere a mesɔree anɔpa sɛ merema me ba nufu no, na wawu. Nanso bere a mehwɛɛ no yiye wɔ anɔpa hann mu no, mihuu sɛ ɔnyɛ ɔba a mewoo no.”

²²Ɔbaa foforo no kae se, “Dabi! Ɔba a ɔte ase no ne me ba; nea wawu no ne wo de.” Nea odi kan no buaa se, “Dabi! Nea wawu no ne wo ba; nea ɔte ase no ne me de.” Enti wɔgyee akyinnye wɔ ɔhene no anim.

²³Ɔhene no kae se, “Wei se, ‘Me ba te ase, wo ba awu,’ na wei nso se, ‘Dabi, wo ba awu, me ba te ase.’”

²⁴Enti ɔhene no kae se, “Momfa afoa mmrɛ me.” Na wɔde afoa baa ɔhene no anim. ²⁵Ɔhene no kae se, “Monnwa abofra a ɔte ase no mu abien; momfa ɔfa mma baako, na momfa ɔfa nso mma baako no.”

²⁶Ɔbaa a ne ba te ase no yam hyehyee no wɔ ne ba ho, na ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Mesrɛ wo, me wura, fa abofra a ɔte ase no ma no! Munnkum no koraa!” Nanso ɔbaa foforo no kae se, “Ɔrenyɛ me de, na ɔrenyɛ wo de nso—monnwa no mu abien!”

²⁷Afei ɔhene no kae se, “Momfa abofra a ɔte ase no mma ɔbaa a odii kan no; munnkum no koraa. Ɔno ne ne na.”
