5 Wathi kubo, Khanindikhwelele iintsuku zibe ntathu, nibuye nize kum. Bemka ke abantu.
6 Ukumkani uRehabheham wacebisana namadoda amakhulu, abesakuma phambi koSolomon uyise oko ebesahleli, wathi, Ninika cebo lini na, ukuba ndibanike ilizwi aba bantu?
7 Athetha ke kuye esithi, Ukuba uthe wanobubele kwaba bantu, wabakholisa, wathetha amazwi amahle kubo, bokukhonza yonke imihla.
8 Walishiya icebo lamadoda amakhulu abemnike lona, wacebisana namadodana aziintanga zakhe, abemi phambi kwakhe.
9 Wathi kuwo, Ninika cebo lini na nina, ukuba sibanike ilizwi aba bantu bathethileyo kum, besithi. Yénze lula idyokhwe awayibeka phezu kwethu uyihlo?
10 Athetha ke naye amadodana aziintanga zakhe, esithi, Yithi kubantu abathethe kuwe, besithi, Uyihlo wayenza nzima idyokhwe yethu, yenze lula kuthi wena; yithi kubo, Ucikicane wam uya kuba nesibili kunesinqe sikabawo;
11 ke, ekubeni ubawo ubenithwalise idyokhwe enzima, mna ke ndiya kongeza edyokhweni yenu; ubawo ubenibetha ngeentsontelo, ke mna ndiya kunibetha ngeekatsi.
