7 Muri iryo joro Imana ibonekera Salomo maze imubwira iti: “Saba! Ndaguhe iki+?” 8 Salomo aca abwira Imana ati: “Ni wewe wagiriye cane ubuntu bwuzuye urukundo Dawidi dawe+ kandi ungira umwami mu kibanza ciwe+. 9 None rero, ewe Yehova Mana, umuhango wawe wahaye Dawidi dawe nube uwo kwizigirwa+, kuko ari wewe wanyimitse ukangira umwami+ wo kuganza igisata c’abantu mu bwinshi bangana nk’udutete tw’umukungugu w’isi+. 10 Numpe rero ubukerebutsi n’ubumenyi+ kugira ngo nyobore aba bantu neza+; nakare, ni nde yoshobora gucira imanza aba bantu bawe n’ingene ari benshi+?”
11 Maze Imana ibwira Salomo iti: “Ko wagize ico cipfuzo mu mutima wawe+, ntusabe ubutunzi, amatungo n’iteka canke ubuzima bw’abakwanka, eka mbere ntusabe kumara imisi myinshi+, mugabo ukisabira ubukerebutsi n’ubumenyi kugira ngo ucire imanza abantu banje, abo nakwimitsemwo ngo ubaganze+, 12 ubukerebutsi n’ubumenyi urabihawe+; nzoguha n’ubutunzi n’amatungo n’iteka ata bami bakwitangiye imbere bigeze bagira+, kandi ata n’umwe azoza mu nyuma zawe azogira+.”
