Amakhosi 3: 4- 13
| 3:4 | Manje, wahamba waya eGibeyoni, ukuze ahlabe khona; ngoba leyo kwakuyindawo ephakemeyo enkulu kakhulu. USolomoni wanikela kulelo altare, eGibeyoni, izisulu eziyinkulungwane njengama- holocausts. |
| 3:5 | Khona-ke uJehova wabonakala kuSolomoni, ngephupho ebusuku, ethi, “Cela noma yini oyifisayo, ukuze ngikunike yona.” |
| 3:6 | Wathi uSolomoni: “Wenze umusa omkhulu encekwini yakho uDavide, ubaba wami, ngoba wahamba phambi kwakho eqinisweni leqiniso, langenhliziyo eqotho phambi kwakho. Futhi umgcinele umusa wakho omkhulu, futhi umnike indodana ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, njengoba kunjalo lamuhla. |
| 3:7 | Futhi manje, O Nkosi Nkulunkulu, umisile inceku yakho yaba yinkosi esikhundleni sikaDavide, ubaba wami. Kodwa ngingumntwana omncane, futhi anginalwazi ngokungena nokuhamba kwami. |
| 3:8 | Futhi inceku yakho iphakathi kwabantu obakhethile, abantu abakhulu, abangenakubalwa, nokubalwa ngenxa yobuningi babo. |
| 3:9 | Ngakho-ke, uyiphe inceku yakho inhliziyo efundisekayo, ukuze akwazi ukwahlulela abantu bakho, nokuhlukanisa phakathi kokuhle nokubi. Ngoba ngubani ozokwazi ukwahlulela lababantu, abantu bakho, abangaka?” |
| 3:10 | Leli zwi laba mnandi phambi kukaJehova, ukuthi uSolomoni wayecele into enjalo. |
| 3:11 | INkosi yasisithi kuSolomoni: “Njengoba ulicelile leli gama, futhi awuzicelelanga izinsuku eziningi noma ingcebo, noma ukuphila kwezitha zenu, kodwa kunalokho uzicelele ukuhlakanipha ukuze ukwazi ukuqonda ukwahlulela: |
| 3:12 | bheka, ngikwenzele njengokusho kwakho, futhi ngikunike inhliziyo ehlakaniphileyo neqondayo, kangangoba akukaze kube khona onjengawe ngaphambi kwakho, nanoma ubani oyosukuma ngemva kwakho. |
| 3:13 | Kodwa nezinto ongazicelanga, ngikunikile, okungukuthi ingcebo nenkazimulo, kuze kungabi khona onjengawe phakathi kwamakhosi ezinsukwini zonke zangaphambili. |
