1 ነገሥታት 5:6
‘ኣብዚ እንግዲኛ ትዝዝ፤ ካብ ሊባኖስ ዝግንባር እንጨት ንኔ ክቁሩ። ሰባትየ ምስ ሰባትኻ ይሰርሑ፤ ንሰባትኻ እንታይ ትመርሕ ዝበለ ክፍሊ እኽብር ክሃብካ እየ፤ ንንሱ ኣብ እኛ ከም ሲዶናውያን ብሙያ እንጨት ክቁሩ ዝችል ሰብ የለን ታውቂ ኢኺ።’
‘ኣብዚ እንግዲኛ ትዝዝ፤ ካብ ሊባኖስ ዝግንባር እንጨት ንኔ ክቁሩ። ሰባትየ ምስ ሰባትኻ ይሰርሑ፤ ንሰባትኻ እንታይ ትመርሕ ዝበለ ክፍሊ እኽብር ክሃብካ እየ፤ ንንሱ ኣብ እኛ ከም ሲዶናውያን ብሙያ እንጨት ክቁሩ ዝችል ሰብ የለን ታውቂ ኢኺ።’
ስለዚህ አሁን ከሊባኖስ ዝግባ ዛፎችን እንዲቈርጡልኝ እዘዛቸው፤ አገልጋዮቼም ከአገልጋዮችህ ጋር ይሆናሉ፤ አንተም የምትመርጠውን መጠን በመሆኑ ለአገልጋዮችህ ክፍያ እሰጥልሃለሁ፤ ከእኛ መካከል እንጨትን እንደ ሲዶናውያን በደንብ ሊቈርጥ የሚችል የለም ታውቃለህ።
ሕጂ ኸኣ ካባናስ ከም ሲዶናውያን ገይሩ ምቚራጽ ኦም ዚፈልጥ ከም ዜልቦ፡ ንስኻ ትፈልጥ ኢኻ እሞ፡ ካብ ሊባኖስ ኣእዋም ቄድሮስ ኪቘርጹለይ አዝዝ። ገላዎይውን ምስቶም ገላዉኻ ይኹኑ፡ ውዕልለት ገላዉኻ ድማ ከምቲ እትብለኒ ዂሉ ገይረ ኽህበካ እየ።
