Bere a Sebahemmea tee Salomo din a ahyeta na ɛhyɛ Awurade din anuonyam no, ɔde nsɛmmisa a anoyi yɛ den bɛsɔɔ Salomo hwɛe.

Ɔhemmea no fii ahodwiriw mu ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Nsɛm a metee wɔ me man mu a ɛfa dwuma a woatumi adi ne wo nyansa ho no nyinaa yɛ nokware!
7 And not I believed the words until that I came and they saw eyes my and here! not it was told to me the half you have added wisdom and good to the report which I heard.
Na minnye nni kosii sɛ mibeduu ha a mʼankasa mede mʼani abehu yi. Nokware, sɛɛ na mante asɛm no mu fa mpo. Wo nyansa ne wo nkɔso no boro nea wɔka kyerɛɛ me no so koraa.
