1 And then the elders of Israel made answer and said unto him, "May thy good pleasure be done, and the good pleasure of the Lord God! As for us, none of us will transgress thy word, and we will not inform any other people that Zion hath been taken away from us." And they established this covenant in the House of God--the elders of Israel with their King Solomon unto this day. And Solomon lived [thus] for eleven years after the taking away of Zion from him, and then his heart turned aside from the love of God, and he forgot his wisdom, through his excessive love of women. And he loved very greatly the daughter of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, whose name was Makshara, and he brought her into the house which he had made; and there were figures of the sun, moon, and stars in the roof thereof, and it was illumined by night as brightly as by day. Its beams were made of brass, and its roof of silver, and its panels (?) of lead, and its walls of stone, red with black, and brown with white [and] green; and its floor was of blocks of sapphire stone and sardius. And he used to go and dwell therein through his love for his house and his wife Makshara, the daughter of Pharaoh the king of Egypt. Now the queen possessed certain idols which her father had given her to bow down before, and because, when Solomon saw her sacrificing to them and worshipping them, he did not rebuke her or forsake her, God was wroth with him, and made him to forget his wisdom. And she multiplied her sacrifices, and her worship, and her folly, according to the stupidity of the Egyptians, and all the people of her house worshipped the idols, and learned the foolish service of idols. And enjoying the pleasure of their foolish service they worshipped with the daughter of Pharaoh, and the children of Israel joined themselves to her, and the women and their handmaidens joined themselves unto her in the worship and foolish service of idols. And Solomon himself found pleasure in hearing their foolish service and folly. And when she saw that he loved her, and hearkened, and held his peace, and asked many questions about the foolish service of the gods of the Egyptians, she made herself exceedingly agreeable to him, and she spoke to him with honeyed words, and with the tender speech of women, and with the sweet smile that accompanieth the presentment of an evil deed, and with the turning of the face and the assumption of a look of good intent, and with the nodding of the head. With actions of this kind she caused his heart to turn away from his good intent, and she enticed him to the evil of her work, wishing to drag him down into the folly of the foolish service of idols through carelessness. And as the deep sea draweth down into its depths the man who cannot swim, until the water overwhelmeth him and destroyeth his life, even so did that woman wish to submerge Solomon the King. ፷፫ ፡ ኀበ ፡ ኀበሩ ፡ ዐበይተ ፡ እስራኤል ። ወእምዝ ፡ አውሥእዎ ፡ መላህቅተ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ ወይቤልዎ ፡ ትኩን ፡ ሥምረትከ ፡ ወሥምረተ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ አምላክከ ፡ ወንሕነሰ ፡ አልቦ ፡ ዘንትዐደው ፡ እምቃልከ ፡ ወኢናየድዖሙ ፡ ለባዕድ ፡ አሕዛብ ፡ ከመ ፡ ተነሥአት ፡ ጽዮን ፡ እምኔነ ። ወአቀሙ ፡ ዘንተ ፡ ኪዳነ ፡ በውስተ ፡ ቤተ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ መላህቅተ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ ምስለ ፡ ንጉሦሙ ፡ ሰሎሞን ፡ እስከ ፡ ይእዜ ፠ ወሰሎሞንሰ ፡ ነበረ ፡ እምድኅረ ፡ ተነሥአት ፡ ጽዮን ፡ እምኔሁ ፡ ዐሠርቱ ፡ ወአሐዱ ፡ ዓመተ ፡ ወእምዝ ፡ አእተተ ፡ ልቦ ፡ እምፍቅረ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ወረስዐ ፡ ጥበቦ ፡ እምብዝኀ ፡ ፍቅረ ፡ አንስት ፤ ወአፍቀራ ፡ ፈድፋደ ፡ ለወለተ ፡ ፈርዖን ፡ ንጉሠ ፡ ግብጽ ፡ እንተ ፡ ስማ ፡ ማቅሣራ ፡ ወአእተዋ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ቤቱ ፡ ዘገብረ ፡ አምሳለ ፡ ፀሐይ ፡ ወወርኅ ፡ ወከዋክብት ፡ ውስተ ፡ ጠፈራ ፡ ዘያበርህ ፡ ሌሊተ ፡ ከመ ፡ መዐልት ፤ ወሥረዊሁ ፡ ብርት ፡ ወተድባቡ ፡ ብሩር ፡ ወደፍዳፉ ፡ ዐረር ፡ ወመንድቀ ፡ እብኑ ፡ አፍራጽ ፡ በአስዋድ ፡ አሕማር ፡ በአብያድ ፡ አክደር ፡ ወጸፍጸፉኒ ፡ አብላቀ ፡ ሶፎር ፡ ወእብነ ፡ ሰርዴዮን ፤ ወየሐውር ፡ ወይነብር ፡ ህየ ፡ በእንተ ፡ ፍቅረ ፡ ቤቱ ፡ ወብእሲቱ ፡ መቅሣራ ፡ ወለተ ፡ ፈርዖን ፡ ንጉሠ ፡ ግብጽ ። ወይእቲሰ ፡ ባቲ ፡ ጣዖታተ ፡ ዘወሀባ ፡ አቡሃ ፡ ከመ ፡ ትስግድ ፡ ሎሙ ፤ ወበእንተዝ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ይሬእያ ፡ እንዘ ፡ ትሠውዕ ፡ ወትሰግድ ፡ ሎሙ ፡ ኢገሠጻ ፡ ወኢኀደጋ ፡ ሰሎሞን ፡ ወበእንተዝ ፡ ተምዕዖ ፡ እግዚኣብሔር ፡ ወአርስዖ ፡ ጥበቢሁ ። ወይእቲሰ ፡ አፈድፈደት ፡ ሠዊዐ ፡ ወሰጊደ ፡ ወተውኔተ ፡ በከመ ፡ እበዶሙ ፡ ለግብጻዊያን ፡ ወይሰግዱ ፡ ለጣዖት ፡ ወተምህሩ ፡ ኵሉ ፡ ሰብአ ፡ ቤታ ፡ ተውኔተ ፡ ጣዖታት ፡ ወበአስተኣድሞ ፡ ሐውዘ ፡ ተውኔቶሙ ፡ ይሰግዱ ፡ ምስሌሃ ፡ ለወለተ ፡ ፈርዖን ፡ ወኀብሩ ፡ ደቂቀ ፡ እስራኤል ፡ ምስሌሃ ፡ ወአንስት ፡ ወአእማቲሃ ፡ ኀብሩ ፡ ምስሌሃ ፡ በሰጊድ ፡ ወበተዋንዮ ፡ ለጣዖታ ፤ ወለሊሁኒ ፡ ያስተኣድም ፡ ሰሚዐ ፡ ተውኔታ ፡ ወእበዳ ። ወሶበ ፡ ርእየት ፡ ከመ ፡ ያፈቅር ፡ ላቲ ፡ ወይሰምዕ ፡ ወያረምም ፡ ወየሐትት ፡ ተውኔተ ፡ አማልክቲሆሙ ፡ ለግብጻዊያን ፡ ፈድፋደ ፡ ታስተጣዕም ፡ ሎቱ ፡ ወትነግሮ ፡ በጥዑም ፡ ቃል ፡ ወበድኩም ፡ ነገረ ፡ አንስት ፡ ወበአክሞስሶ ፡ ዘምስለ ፡ አርእዮ ፡ ምግባረ ፡ እኩይ ፡ በተመይጦ ፡ ገጽ ፡ ወበአሠንዮ ፡ ወበአትሕቶ ፡ ርእስ ፡ ወበዘከመዝ ፡ ታፈርስ ፡ ልቦ ፡ እምሠናይ ፡ ኅሊናሁ ፡ ወትቀጽቦ ፡ ውስተ ፡ እከየ ፡ ምግባራ ፡ ወትፈቅድ ፡ ታውርዶ ፡ ውስተ ፡ እበደ ፡ ተውኔተ ፡ ጣዖት ፡ በንዝህላል ፤ ወከመ ፡ ባሕር ፡ ዕሙቅ ፡ ዘይስሕብ ፡ ውስተ ፡ ልጐት ፡ ለዘ ፡ ኢይክል ፡ ጸቢተ ፡ እስከ ፡ የዐዝዞ ፡ ማይ ፡ ወየሀጕል ፡ ነፍሶ ፡ ከማሁ ፡ ትፈቅድ ፡ አስጥሞቶ ፡ ይእቲ ፡ ብእሲት ፡ ለሰሎሞን ፡ ንጉሥ ፠ ፠ ፠
