" As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.
"Zu, berriz, Salomon, ene seme hori, saia zaitez zeure aitaren Jainkoa ezagutzen; zerbitzatu bera bihotz osoz eta gogo handiz. Bihotz guztiak aztertzen ditu Jaunak, eta badaki nolakoak diren giza gogoetak. Haren bila ibiltzen bazara, utziko dizu bera aurkitzen; baztertzen baduzu, ordea, betiko arbuiatuko zaitu.
