Naye ndi mwana muto era simanyi ngeri ya kuddukanyaamu mirimu gyange. 8 Omuddu wo ali wakati mu bantu bo be walonda, eggwanga ekkulu, eritabalika. 9 Kale omuddu wo muwe amagezi okufuganga abantu bo, njawulenga ekirungi n’ekibi: kubanga ani ayinza okufuga eggwanga lyo lino ekkulu?"
10 Mukama n’asanyuka kubanga Sulemaani yasaba ekyo. 11 Katonda n’amugamba nti, "Kubanga osabye kino, so teweesabidde kuwangaala wadde bugagga, oba okufa kw’abalabe bo, naye weesabidde amagezi okwawulanga emisango, 12 n’akola ky’osabye. Nzija kukuwa omutima omugezi era omutegeevu, so tewalibeerawo eyali akwenkanye oba alikwenkana.
