1 Mafumu 22
1 Kwa zaka zitatu panalibe nkhondo pakati pa Aramu ndi Israeli.
Ɔko biara ansi Aram ne Israel ntam mfeɛ mmiɛnsa.
2 Koma pa chaka chachitatu, Yehosafati mfumu ya ku Yuda anapita kukacheza ndi mfumu ya ku Israeli.
Na mfeɛ mmiɛnsa no mu, ɔhene Yehosafat a ɔdi adeɛ Yuda kɔɔ Israelhene Ahab nkyɛn.
3 Mfumu ya ku Israeli nʼkuti itawuza atumiki ake kuti, “Kodi inu simukudziwa kuti Ramoti Giliyadi ndi dera lathu ndipo ife palibe chimene tikuchita kuti tilitenge deralo mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya Aramu?”
Na Ahab abisa ne mpanimfoɔ sɛ, “Moahunu sɛ Aramfoɔ da so te yɛn kuro Ramot Gilead mu? Nanso, yɛnyɛɛ ho hwee!”
4 Tsono iye anafunsa Yehosafati kuti, “Kodi udzapita nane ku nkhondo ku Ramoti Giliyadi?” Yehosafati anayankha mfumu ya ku Israeli kuti, “Ine ndili monga inu, anthu anga monga anthu anu, akavalo anga monga akavalo anu.”
Enti ɔbisaa Yehosafat sɛ, “Wobɛka me ho, na yɛako atia Ramot Gilead anaa?” Na Yehosafat buaa ɔhene Ahab sɛ, “Adɛn? Ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛda ne kwan mu. Wo ne me yɛ anuanom, na mʼakodɔm yɛ wo dea, sɛ wobɛka asɛm a wopɛ akyerɛ wɔn. Mpo, mʼapɔnkɔ da wo da.”
5 Koma Yehosafati anawuzanso mfumu ya ku Israeli kuti, “Poyamba mupemphe nzeru kwa Yehova.”
Na Yehosafat ka kaa ho sɛ, “Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ma yɛmmisa Awurade hɔ afotuo.”
6 Choncho mfumu ya Israeli inasonkhanitsa pamodzi aneneri okwanira 400, ndipo inawafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndipite kukathira nkhondo Ramoti Giliyadi, kapena ndileke?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Pitani, pakuti Ambuye waupereka mzindawo mʼmanja mwa mfumu.”
Enti, ɔhene Ahab frɛɛ nʼadiyifoɔ a wɔn dodoɔ bɛyɛ ahanan no nyinaa, bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Menkɔko ntia Ramot Gilead anaa mennkɔ?” Wɔn nyinaa buaa sɛ, “Kɔ so! Awurade bɛma woadi nkonim animuonyam so.”
7 Koma Yehosafati anafunsa kuti, “Kodi kuno kulibenso mneneri wina wa Yehova kumene ife tingakafunsireko nzeru?”
Nanso, Yehosafat bisaa sɛ, “Enti, Awurade odiyifoɔ biara nso nni ha? Anka mepɛ sɛ mebisa no saa asɛm korɔ no ara.”
8 Mfumu ya ku Israeli inayankha Yehosafati kuti, “Alipo munthu mmodzi amene ife tingakafunsire kwa Yehova, koma ndimadana naye chifukwa iyeyo samanenera kanthu kalikonse kabwino ka ine, koma zoyipa nthawi zonse. Dzina lake ndi Mikaya mwana wa Imula.” Yehosafati anayankha kuti, “Mfumu musatero.”
Ɔhene Ahab buaa sɛ, “Awurade odiyifoɔ baako da so wɔ ha, nanso metane no. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ nkɔm bɔne, na ɔhyɛ fa me ho. Ne din de Mikaia a ɔyɛ Imla babarima.” Na Yehosafat kaa sɛ, “Nkasa saa. Momma yɛntie asɛm a ɔwɔ ka.”
9 Choncho mfumu ya Israeli inayitana mmodzi mwa atumiki ake ndipo inati, “Kayitane Mikaya mwana wa Imula msangamsanga.”
Enti, Israelhene frɛɛ ne mpanimfoɔ no mu baako, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ka wo ho kɔfa Imla babarima Mikaia bra.”
10 Atavala mikanjo yawo yaufumu, mfumu ya ku Israeli ndi Yehosafati mfumu ya ku Yuda anakhala pa mipando yawo yaufumu pabwalo lopondera tirigu pafupi ndi chipata cha Samariya, pamodzi ndi aneneri onse akunenera pamaso pawo.
Israelhene Ahab ne Yudahene Yehosafat hyɛɛ wɔn ahemfo ntadeɛ, tenaa wɔn ahennwa mu wɔ aponnwa a ɛbɛn Samaria ɛkwan no ano. Saa ɛberɛ no, na Ahab adiyifoɔ no rehyɛ nkɔm wɔ wɔn anim.
11 Tsono Zedekiya mwana wa Kenaana nʼkuti atapanga nyanga zachitsulo ndipo iye ananenera kuti, “Yehova akuti, ‘Ndi nyanga izi, inu mudzagunda nazo Aaramu mpaka iwo atawonongeka.’”
Wɔn mu baako a wɔfrɛ no Sedekia a ɔyɛ Kenaana babarima yɛɛ dadeɛ mmɛn bi ka too dwa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade ka nie: Mode saa mmɛn yi bɛwowɔ Aramfoɔ no akunkum wɔn.”
12 Aneneri ena onse ananenera zomwezonso. Iwo anati, “Kathireni nkhondo Ramoti Giliyadi ndipo mukapambana, pakuti Yehova adzawupereka mzindawo mʼdzanja la mfumu.”
Adiyifoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa penee so, kaa sɛ, “Aane, monkɔ Ramot-Gilead, na monkɔdi nkonim, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade bɛma moadi nkonim.”
13 Wamthenga amene anapita kukayitana Mikaya anamuwuza kuti, “Taonani, aneneri onse monga munthu mmodzi akunenera za kupambana kwa mfumu. Mawu anunso akhale ogwirizana ndi mawu awo, ndipo mukayankhule zabwino.”
Na ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔkɔfaa Mikaia no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Tie, adiyifoɔ no nyinaa hyɛ nkonimdie ho nkɔm ma ɔhene. Hwɛ sɛ wo ne wɔn adwene bɛyɛ baako, na wo nso, wobɛhyɛ nkonimdie ho nkɔm.”
14 Koma Mikaya anati, “Pali Yehova wamoyo, ine ndikawawuza zokhazo zimene Yehova akandiwuze.”
Nanso, Mikaia kaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te aseɛ yi, deɛ Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no na mɛka.”
15 Atafika, Ahabu anamufunsa kuti, “Mikaya, kodi tipite kukathira nkhondo Ramoti Giliyadi, kapena tileke?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Pitani ndipo mukapambana, pakuti Yehova adzawupereka mzindawo mʼdzanja la mfumu.”
Ɛberɛ a Mikaia bɛduruu ahennimu no, Ahab bisaa no sɛ, “Mikaia, yɛnkɔko ntia Ramot-Gilead anaa yɛnnkɔ?” Na Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Monkɔ! Na Awurade bɛma ɔhene adi nkonim animuonyam so.”
16 Ahabu anati kwa iye, “Kodi ndikulumbiritse kangati kuti undiwuze zoona zokhazokha mʼdzina la Yehova?”
Nanso, ɔhene no sɔɔ so sɛ, “Mpɛn ahe na menka sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a wobɛkasa ama Awurade no, ɛsɛ sɛ woka nokorɛ?”
17 Pamenepo Mikaya anayankha kuti, “Ndinaona Aisraeli onse atamwazikana pa mapiri ngati nkhosa zopanda mʼbusa, ndipo Yehova anati, ‘Anthu awa alibe mbuye wawo. Aliyense apite kwawo mwamtendere.’”
Na Mikaia ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Anisoadehunu mu, mehunuu sɛ Israel abɔ apete mmepɔ no so, te sɛ nnwan a wɔnni ɔhwɛfoɔ. Na Awurade kaa sɛ, ‘Wɔakum wɔn wura. Ma wɔnkɔ efie asomdwoeɛ mu.’”
18 Mfumu ya ku Israeli inati kwa Yehosafati, “Kodi ine sindinakuwuzeni kuti ameneyu samanenera kanthu kalikonse kabwino ka ine, koma zoyipa zokhazokha?”
Israelhene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ, “Manka saa ankyerɛ wo? Ɛda biara saa na ɔyɛ. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ nkɔntorɔ na ɔhyɛ fa me ho.”
19 Mikaya anapitiriza kuyankhula nati, “Tsono imvani mawu a Yehova: Ine ndinaona Yehova atakhala pa mpando wake waufumu, gulu lonse la kumwamba litayima ku dzanja lake lamanja ndi ku dzanja lake lamanzere.
Mikaia toaa so sɛ, “Tie deɛ Awurade ka. Mehunuu Awurade sɛ ɔte nʼahennwa so a ne sorofoɔ akodɔm nyinaa atwa ne ho ahyia wɔ ne nifa ne ne benkum so.”
20 Ndipo Yehova anati, ‘Kodi ndani amene akamukope Ahabu kuti akathire nkhondo Ramoti Giliyadi, nʼkukafera komweko?’” “Wina anapereka maganizo ena ndipo winanso maganizo ena.
Na Awurade bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛtumi adaadaa Ahab, ama wakɔ ɔko atia Ramot Gilead, a ɛbɛtumi aba sɛ wɔbɛkum no wɔ hɔ?” Wɔsusuu nsɛm ahodoɔ bebree ho wɔ hɔ,
21 Potsirizira, mzimu wina unabwera ndi kuyima pamaso pa Yehova ndipo unati, ‘Ine ndidzamukopa.’”
kɔsii sɛ ne korakora no, honhom bi kɔɔ Awurade nkyɛn kɔkaa sɛ, “Mɛtumi ayɛ!”
22 Yehova anafunsa kuti, “Ukamukopa bwanji?” Mzimuwo unati, “Ndidzapita ndi kukakhala mzimu wabodza pakamwa pa aneneri ake onse.” Yehova anati, “‘Iwe udzamukopadi. Pita kachite zomwezo.’
Awurade bisaa sɛ, “Ɛkwan bɛn so na wobɛfa ayɛ yei?” Na honhom no buaa sɛ, “Mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Ahab adiyifoɔ, ama wɔadi atorɔ.” Awurade kaa sɛ, “Kɔ so yɛ, na wobɛdi nkonim.
23 “Ndipo tsopano taonani, Yehova wayika mzimu wabodza mʼkamwa mwa aneneri anu onsewa. Yehova waneneratu kuti mukaona mavuto.”
“Enti afei, Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifoɔ anomu. Na Awurade adwene ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ ama wo.”
24 Pamenepo Zedekiya mwana wa Kenaana anapita pafupi namenya Mikaya patsaya. Iye anafunsa Mikaya kuti, “Kodi mzimu wa Yehova unadzera njira iti pamene umatuluka mwa ine kuti uziyankhula ndi iwe?”
Ɛnna Kenaana babarima Sedekia kɔɔ Mikaia so, kɔbɔɔ nʼani so. Ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Da bɛn na Awurade honhom firii me mu, bɛkasa kyerɛɛ wo?”
25 Mikaya anayankha kuti, “Udzaona pa tsiku limene uzikalowa mʼchipinda chamʼkati kuti ukabisale.”
Na Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Ɛrenkyɛre biara, wobɛhunu nokorɛ no wɔ ɛberɛ a wobɛdwane akɔtɛ kɔkoam dan bi mu.”
26 Pamenepo mfumu ya ku Israeli inalamula kuti, “Mugwireni Mikaya ndipo mubwerere naye kwa Amoni mkulu wa mzinda, ndi kwa Yowasi mwana wa mfumu
Israelhene Ahab hyɛɛ sɛ, “Monkyere Mikaia, na momfa no nkɔma Amon a ɔyɛ kuro no mu amrado, na momfa no nkɔ me babarima Yoas nkyɛn.
27 ndipo mukanene kuti, ‘Chimene mfumu ikunena ndi ichi; Muyikeni mʼndende munthu uyu ndipo musamupatse chakudya china koma buledi ndi madzi pangʼono mpaka nditabwerera mwamtendere.’”
Monka saa nhyɛ a ɛfiri ɔhene nkyɛn nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Fa saa ɔbarima yi to afiase, na burodo ne nsuo nko na momfa mma no nni, kɔsi sɛ mɛsane afiri akono aba asomdwoeɛ mu.’”
28 Mikaya ananena kuti, “Ngati mudzabwerera mwamtendere, Yehova sanayankhule kudzera mwa ine.” Ndipo iye anapitiriza kunena kuti, “Gwiritsitsani mawu angawa, anthu inu nonse!”
Nanso, Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Sɛ wosane ba asomdwoeɛ mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Awurade amfa me so ankasa.” Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔgyinagyina hɔ, atwa ne ho ahyia no sɛ, “Saa asɛm a maka yi, monhyɛ no nso.”
29 Choncho mfumu ya ku Israeli ndi Yehosafati mfumu ya ku Yuda anapita ku Ramoti Giliyadi.
Na Israelhene ne Yudahene Yehosafat dii wɔn akodɔm anim, kɔto hyɛɛ Ramot-Gilead so.
30 Mfumu ya ku Israeli inawuza Yehosafati kuti, “Ine ndidzalowa mu nkhondoyi modzibisa, koma inu muvale zovala zanu zaufumu.” Choncho mfumu ya ku Israeli inadzibisa ndi kupita ku nkhondo.
Afei, ɔhene Ahab ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ, “Yɛrekɔ ɔko yi, mɛsakyera me ho, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara renhunu me. Nanso, wo deɛ, hyɛ wʼahentadeɛ.” Enti, Ahab sakyeraa ne ho, na wɔkɔɔ ɔko no.
31 Tsono mfumu ya ku Aramu nʼkuti italamulira anthu ake 32 olamulira magaleta kuti, “Musamenyane ndi wina aliyense, wamngʼono kapena wamkulu, koma mfumu ya ku Israeli.”
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Aramhene ahyɛ ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ aduasa mmienu no sɛ, “Monto nhyɛ Israelhene nko ara so!”
32 Olamulira magaleta ataona Yehosafati, ankaganiza kuti, “Ndithu iyi ndiye mfumu ya ku Israeli.” Choncho anabwerera kukamenyana naye, koma Yehosafati atafuwula,
Enti, ɛberɛ a Aramhene nteaseɛnamkafoɔ no hunuu Yehosafat sɛ ɔhyɛ nʼahentadeɛ no, wɔtaa no. Wɔteateaam sɛ, “Israelhene no ne no.” Nanso, ɛberɛ a Yehosafat teaam no,
33 olamulira akavalo anaona kuti sanali mfumu ya ku Israeli ndipo analeka kumuthamangitsa.
nteaseɛnamkafoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔno ne Israelhene no enti, wɔgyaa nʼakyidie.
34 Koma munthu wina anaponya muvi wake mwachiponyeponye ndi kulasa mfumu ya ku Israeli polumikizira malaya ake odzitetezera. Mfumu inawuza woyendetsa galeta lake kuti, “Tembenuka ndipo undichotse pa nkhondo pano pakuti ndalasidwa.”
Aram sraani bi de anibiannasoɔ too agyan kyerɛɛ Israel asraafoɔ no so, ma ɛkɔwɔɔ Israelhene wɔ ne nkataboɔ ahyiaeɛ so. Ahab teaam kyerɛɛ ne teaseɛnamkafoɔ no sɛ, “Fa me firi ha ntɛm, na wɔapira me pa ara.”
35 Nkhondo inakula kwambiri tsiku limenelo, ndipo mfumu inakhala tsonga mʼgaleta lake moyangʼanana ndi Aaramu. Magazi ake ankayenderera pansi kuchokera mʼgaleta, ndipo pa nthawi ya madzulo inamwalira.
Ɔko no kɔɔ so saa ara da mu no nyinaa, na wɔde Ahab tweree biribi wɔ ne teaseɛnam mu a nʼani kyerɛ Aramfoɔ no. Mogya tuu no firi nʼapirakuro no mu, guu teaseɛnam no mu, na onwunu dwoeɛ no, ɔwuiɛ.
36 Pamene dzuwa linkalowa, kunamveka mfuwu wa nkhondo kuti, “Munthu aliyense apite ku mzinda wa kwawo, aliyense apite ku dziko la kwawo!”
Onwunu reyɛ adwo no, wɔteateaam faa akodɔm no nyinaa mu sɛ: “Ɔko no aba awieeɛ. Monsane nkɔ efie!”
37 Ndipo mfumu ija inafa, nabwera nayo ku Samariya, ndipo anayika mʼmanda kumeneko.
Na ɔhene no wuiɛ no, wɔde nʼamu no kɔɔ Samaria, kɔsiee no wɔ hɔ.
38 Anatsuka galeta lija pa dziwe la ku Samariya (pamene ankasamba akazi achiwerewere) ndipo agalu ananyambita magazi a mfumuyo, monga momwe Yehova ananenera.
Na wɔhoroo ne teaseɛnam no ho wɔ asubura bi a ɛwɔ Samaria a adwamanfoɔ dware hɔ, na nkraman bɛtaferee ɔhene no mogya no, sɛdeɛ Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
39 Tsono ntchito zina za Ahabu, kuphatikiza zonse anazichita, nyumba yaufumu imene anamanga yokutidwa ndi minyanga ya njovu, mizinda yotetezedwa, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a ku Israeli?
Nsɛm a ɛfa Ahab ahennie ho ne asonse ahemfie ho asɛm ne nkuro a ɔkyekyeree nyinaa no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
40 Ahabu anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake. Ndipo Ahaziya mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
Ɛberɛ a Ahab wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagyanom mu. Na ne babarima Ahasia dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
41 Yehosafati, mwana wa Asa anakhala mfumu ya ku Yuda chaka chachinayi cha Ahabu mfumu ya ku Israeli.
Asa babarima Yehosafat bɛdii Yuda so ɛberɛ a na Ahab adi adeɛ wɔ Israel ne mfeɛ ɛnan so no.
42 Yehosafati anali wa zaka 35 pamene analowa ufumu, ndipo analamulira ku Yerusalemu zaka 25. Amayi ake anali Azuba mwana wa Silihi.
Ɔdii adeɛ no, na wadi mfeɛ aduasa enum, na ɔdii adeɛ Yerusalem mfirinhyia aduonu enum. Na ne maame din de Asuba a ɔyɛ Silhi babaa.
43 Pa zinthu zonse, Yehosafati anayenda mʼnjira za Asa abambo ake ndipo sanachite zotsutsana ndi machitidwe a abambo ake. Iye anachita zolungama pamaso pa Yehova. Komabe, malo azipembedzo sanawawononge, ndipo anthu anapitiriza kupereka nsembe ndi kufukiza lubani kumeneko.
Na Yehosafat yɛ ɔhene papa a ɔdii nʼagya Asa anammɔn akyi. Ɔyɛɛ adeɛ a ɛsɔ Awurade ani. Nanso, nʼahennie mu no, wantumi ammubu abosonnan enti, nnipa kɔɔ so bɔɔ afɔdeɛ, hyee aduhwam wɔ hɔ.
44 Yehosafati anakhala mwamtendere ndi mfumu ya ku Israeli.
Yehosafat ne Israelhene tenaa ase asomdwoeɛ mu.
45 Ntchito zake zina za Yehosafati, zinthu zimene anachita ndi zamphamvu zimene anaonetsa, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a ku Yuda?
Nsɛm a ɛfa Yehosafat ahennie ho nkaeɛ no, faako a ne tumi kɔduruiɛ ne ako a ɔdiiɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
46 Iye anachotsa mʼdzikomo amuna onse ochita zachiwerewere mwa chipembedzo amene anatsalira pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Asa, abambo ake.
Ɔpamoo abosomfie so adwamanfoɔ a na wɔgu so bɔ adwaman, firi nʼagya Asa berɛ so no nyinaa.
47 Nthawi imeneyo kunalibe mfumu ku Edomu, amene ankalamulira anali munthu woyikidwa ndi mfumu ya ku Yuda.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na ɔhene nni Edom gye kuro no sohwɛfoɔ nko.
48 Yehosafati anapanga sitima zapamadzi zopita ku Ofiri kukatenga golide, koma sitimazo sizinayende chifukwa zinawonongeka ku Ezioni Geberi.
Yehosafat yɛɛ adwadihyɛn bebree sɛ ɛnkɔ Ofir nkɔpɛ sikakɔkɔɔ. Nanso, ahyɛn no antumi anyɛ adwuma, ɛsɛee wɔ Esion-Geber.
49 Nthawi imeneyo Ahaziya mwana wa Ahabu anawuza Yehosafati kuti, “Anthu anga ayende pa madzi pamodzi ndi anthu anu,” koma Yehosafati anakana.
Saa ɛberɛ no, Ahab babarima Ahasia susuu ho kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ, “Ma me mmarima ne wo mmarima nkɔ ɛpo so akwan nsrahwɛ.” Nanso, Yehosafat ampene so.
50 Ndipo Yehosafati anamwalira nayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake mu mzinda wa Davide. Ndipo Yoramu mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
Yehosafat wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Yehoram na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
51 Ahaziya mwana wa Ahabu anakhala mfumu ya ku Israeli ku Samariya mʼchaka cha 17 cha Yehosafati mfumu ya ku Yuda, ndipo analamulira Israeli zaka ziwiri.
Ahab babarima Ahasia hyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israel so ɛberɛ a na Yehosafat adi adeɛ mfeɛ dunson wɔ Yuda. Ɔdii adeɛ Samaria mfeɛ mmienu.
52 Iye anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova, chifukwa anayenda mʼnjira za abambo ndi amayi ake komanso mʼnjira za Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, amene anachimwitsa Israeli.
Na ɔfaa nʼagya ne ne maame ne Nebat babarima Yeroboam anammɔn so, somm ahoni, yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
53 Potumikira ndi kupembedza Baala, iye anakwiyitsa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, monga momwe anachitira abambo ake.
Ɔsomm Baal, sɔree no, nam so fuu Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, bo sɛdeɛ nʼagya yɛeɛ no.
