4 Israel fia ɖo eŋu be, “Nye aƒetɔ kple fia, abe ale si nègblɔe ene la, nye ŋutɔ kple nu siwo le asinye la nye tɔwò!”
Ahab buaa sɛ, “Mate, me wura! Deɛ mewɔ nyinaa yɛ wo dea.”

Ankyɛre biara Ben-Hadad abɔfoɔ sane baa bio bɛkaa sɛ, “Ben-Hadad se, ‘Maka dada sɛ momfa mo dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, mo yerenom ne mo mma mma me.

Ɔkyena sɛsɛɛ, mɛsoma me mpanimfoɔ, na wɔabɛhwehwɛ mo ahemfie ne mo nkurɔfoɔ afie. Na biribiara a ɛsom bo ma mo no, wɔbɛfa de akɔ.’”
7 Ahab yɔ eƒe aɖaŋudelawo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mikpɔ nu si wɔm ŋutsu sia le la ɖa! Ele ge dim togbɔ be mena wònya be ate ŋu axɔ srɔ̃nyewo, vinyewo, nye klosalo kple sika abe ale si wòdi ene gɔ̃ hã.”
Na Ahab frɛɛ asase no so ntuanofoɔ no nyinaa, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monhwɛ sɛdeɛ saa ɔbarima yi pɛ sɛ ɔde ɔhaw ba. Mapene so dada sɛ mede me yerenom, me mma, me dwetɛ ne me sikakɔkɔɔ bɛma no.”
8 Aɖaŋuɖolawo ɖo aɖaŋu nɛ be, “Mègatsɔ nu bubu aɖeke wu esiawo nɛ o.”
Ntuanofoɔ ne nnipa no nyinaa kaa sɛ, “Sɛ ɔbisaa biribi foforɔ biara bio a, mfa mma no.”
9 Ale Fia Ahab gblɔ na Fia Ben Hadad ƒe ame dɔdɔwo be, “Migblɔ na nye aƒetɔ, fia la be, ‘Matsɔ nu sia nu si nèbia zi gbãtɔ la na wò gake wò amewo maka nye fiasã la kple nye amewo ƒe aƒewo me o.’” Ale ame dɔdɔawo trɔ yi Ben Hadad gbɔ.
Enti, Ahab ka kyerɛɛ abɔfoɔ a wɔfiri Ben-Hadad nkyɛn baeɛ no sɛ, “Monkɔka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ me wura ɔhene sɛ, ‘Biribiara a ɔbisaa kane no deɛ, mede bɛma no. Na deɛ ɔbisaa no akyire no deɛ, merentumi mfa mma no.’” Enti, Ben-Hadad abɔfoɔ no sane kɔbɔɔ no amaneɛ.
10 Azɔ la, Siria fia la gblɔ ɖo ɖe Ahab be, “Mawuawo nafiam agafiam ɖe edzi ne nye aʋakɔ metrɔ Samaria wòzu ʋuʋudedi asiʋlo ʋɛ aɖewo ko o!”
Na Ben-Hadad soma kɔka kyerɛɛ Ahab sɛ, “Sɛ mansɛe Samaria pasaa, na emu mfuturo dodoɔ bi ka a ɛbɛboro asraafoɔ no mu biara nsabuo ma a, anyame no ntwe mʼaso denden so.”
11 Israel fia Ahab ɖo eŋu be, “Miyi ɖagblɔ na Fia Ben Hadad be, ‘Ame si le aʋa wɔ ge la maƒo adegbe o, ke ame si wɔ aʋa ɖu dzi la koe aƒo adegbe!’”
Israelhene nso soma ma wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ a ɔrefa nʼakofena akɔ akono, tu ne ho sɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ a wadi nkonim dada.”
12 Fia Ahab ƒe ŋuɖoɖo sia va ɖo Fia Ben Hadad kple fia bubuawo gbɔ esi wonɔ aha nom le woƒe agbadɔwo me. Ben Hadad ɖe gbe na eƒe aʋafiawo be, “Midzra ɖo miaho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu.”
Ahab mmuaeɛ yi duruu Ben-Hadad ne ahemfo a wɔaka no asom ɛberɛ a na wɔrenom nsã wɔ wɔn ntomadan mu. Ɔhyɛɛ ne mmarima no sɛ, “Monsiesie mo ho nkɔko.” Enti, wɔsiesiee wɔn ho sɛ wɔrekɔto ahyɛ kuropɔn no so.
13 Nyagblɔɖila aɖe va kpɔ Israel fia Ahab eye wògblɔ nɛ be ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Èkpɔ futɔ la ƒe aʋakɔ siawoa? Matsɔ wo katã ade asi na wò egbe, ekema ànya mlɔeba be, nyee nye Yehowa!”
Na odiyifoɔ bi bɛhunuu ɔhene Ahab ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, ‘Wohunu saa atamfoɔ dɔm yi? Ɛnnɛ, mede wɔn bɛhyɛ wo nsa. Na wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade.’”
14 Ahab bia be, “Ke ame kae awɔ nu sia?” Nyagblɔɖila la ɖo eŋu be, “Alea Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Ato ɖekakpuiwo, asrafo siwo le nutoa me la dzi.’” Ahab gabia be, “Ame kae adze aʋa la gɔme?” Nyagblɔɖila la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Miawoe!”
Ahab bisaa sɛ, “Na sɛn na ɔbɛyɛ no?” Na odiyifoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, ‘Akodɔm asahene a wɔtuatua amansini ano no na wɔbɛyɛ.’” Ahab bisaa sɛ, “Enti, yɛnni ɛkan nto nhyɛ wɔn so?” Odiyifoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Aane.”
15 Ale Ahab ƒo aʋawɔla alafa eve blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve nu ƒu tso dutawo kpe ɖe Israelʋakɔ mamlɛa, ame akpe adre, ŋu.
Enti, Ahab boaboaa ɔmansin no asahene ahanu aduasa mmienu akodɔm ano. Afei, ɔfrɛɛ nʼakodɔm a wɔaka a wɔn dodoɔ yɛ mpem nson no.
16 Le ŋdɔ me lɔƒo la, esi Ben Hadad kple Fia bubu blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eveawo ganɔ aha nom hede mumu ge kloe la, Ahab ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe akpa gbãtɔ ɖe zɔ ɖe dua dzi.
Ɛbɛyɛ owigyinaeɛ a Ben-Hadad ne nʼapamfoɔ ahemfo aduasa mmienu gu so reboro nsã wɔ wɔn ntomadan mu no,

amansini asahene akodɔm no tuu nten, firii kuro no mu. Wɔrebɛn no, Ben-Hadad akwansrafoɔ ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Akodɔm bi firi Samaria reba.”
18 Ben Hadad ɖe gbe na wo be, “Milé wo agbagbe ne wova na ŋutifafa loo alo aʋawɔwɔ!”
Ben-Hadad hyɛɛ sɛ, “Sɛ wɔbaa asomdwoeɛ anaa ɔko so a, monkyere wɔn anikann.”
19 Ɖekakpui siwo nye asrafo, siwo le nutoa dzi kpɔm la dze ŋgɔ eye asrafoawo kplɔ wo ɖo do le dua me.
Nanso, saa ɛberɛ no, na Ahab amansini asahene no adi akodɔm no anim, kɔ ɔko no.
20 Ame sia ame wu Siria srafo ɖeka. Sẽe ko la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Syriaʋakɔ blibo la eye wosi. Israelviwo kplɔ wo ɖo. Ben Hadad kple eŋume ʋɛ aɖewo do sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo hesi.
Na Israel ɔsraani biara kumm ne ɔtamfoɔ Aram ɔsraani a ɔne no dii asie. Ɛno enti, amonom hɔ ara, Aram asraafoɔ no bɔɔ hu, dwaneeɛ. Israelfoɔ no taa wɔn, nanso ɔhene Ben-Hadad ne ne nkurɔfoɔ kakra bi deɛ, wɔtenaa apɔnkɔ so dwaneeɛ.
21 Ke Israelviwo xɔ Syriatɔwo ƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo ƒe akpa gãtɔ eye wowu Siriatɔ geɖewo.
Nanso wɔsɛee apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam a ɛkaa hɔ no nyinaa, kunkumm Aramfoɔ no.
22 Nyagblɔɖila la te ɖe Israel fia ŋu eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Dzra ɖo na Siria fia ƒe aʋa bubu hoho ɖe ŋuwò!”
Akyire yi, odiyifoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Ahab sɛ, “Siesie wo ho ma ɔko foforɔ na Aramhene bɛba osutɔberɛ mu.”
23 Esi Israelviwo ɖu Siriatɔwo dzi la, Ben Hadad ƒe aʋakplɔlawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Israelviwo ƒe mawuwo nye todzimawuwo eya tae woɖu mía dzi; ke míate ŋu aɖu wo dzi bɔbɔe le balime.
Wɔdii Ben-Hadad so no, ne mpanimfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Israel anyame no yɛ mmepɔ anyame, na ɛno enti na ɛma wɔdii nkonim no. Na sɛ wɔduru tata so a, yɛbɛdi wɔn so nkonim a yɛremmrɛ ho koraa.

Momfa asraafoɔ foforɔ a wɔn dodoɔ te sɛ wɔn a wohweree wɔn no ara. Ma yɛn apɔnkɔ no dodoɔ, nteaseɛnam ne mmarima dodoɔ saa ara, na yɛbɛtumi ne wɔn adi asie wɔ tata so. Akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ yɛbɛdi wɔn so.” Enti, ɔhene Ben-Hadad yɛɛ wɔn abisadeɛ maa wɔn.
26 Esi ƒe trɔ la, eƒo Aramea aʋakɔ la nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ŋu azɔ le Afek.
Na afe so no, ɔfrɛɛ Aram asraafoɔ, tuu nten kɔɔ Israelfoɔ so wɔ Afek sɛ wɔne wɔn rekɔko.
27 Israel hã ƒo eƒe aʋawɔlawo nu ƒu, wodi nuɖuɖu da ɖi eye woyi aʋagbedzi. Ke Israelʋakɔ la dze abe gbɔ̃viwo ƒe ha eve ko ene ne wotsɔe sɔ kple Arameatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ si gbagba ɖe balime la ŋu!
Israel boaboaa nʼasraafoɔ ano, twaa sa, de wɔn ho hyɛɛ ɔko no mu. Na sɛ wɔde Israel akodɔm no toto Aram akodɔm no dodoɔ a wɔahyɛ hɔ ma no ho a, na Israel akodɔm no dodoɔ te sɛ mmirekyikuo nketewa mmienu bi.
28 Mawu ƒe ame aɖe yi Israel fia la gbɔ eye wògblɔ nya siawo tso Yehowa gbɔ nɛ: “Esi Siriatɔwo gblɔ be, ‘Yehowa nye to dzi Mawu eye menye balime ƒe Mawu o’ ta la, makpe ɖe mia ŋu miaɖu aʋakɔ gã sia dzi eye mianya be nyee nye Yehowa nyateƒe.”
Onyankopɔn onipa no kɔɔ Israelhene nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Aramfoɔ no aka sɛ, ‘Awurade yɛ mmepɔ Awurade na ɔnyɛ tata so Awurade. Enti, mɛboa wo ma woadi akodɔm buburugyaa yi so. Na ɛbɛma woahunu sɛ, mene Awurade no.’”
29 Aʋakɔ eveawo ƒu asaɖa anyi dze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo ŋkeke adre eye aʋa la dze egɔme le ŋkeke adrelia gbe. Israelviwo wu Siriatɔ akpe alafa ɖeka le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi.
Asraadɔm mmienu yi bobɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ, ma ɛdii nhwɛanimu nnanson. Na nnanson so no, ɔko no hyɛɛ aseɛ. Ɛda no ara, Israelfoɔ no kunkumm Aram anammɔntwa asraafoɔ no ɔpeha.
30 Aʋawɔla siwo susɔ la si yi Afek ƒe gliwo megbe, ke gliawo ƒe akpa aɖe mu dze wo dzi eye wo dometɔ akpe blaeve-vɔ-adre ku. Ben Hadad si yi du la me eye wòbe ɖe aƒe aɖe ƒe xɔ ememetɔ me.
Nkaeɛ no dwane kɔtɛɛ Afek ɔfasuo akyi, nanso ɔfasuo no bu guu wɔn so, kumm ɔpeduonu nson. Ben-Hadad dwane kɔtɛɛ kɔkoam dan bi mu wɔ kuro no mu.
31 Eƒe aʋakplɔlawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Amegã, míese be Israel fiawo nye nublanuikpɔnamelawo. Na míata akpanya, akaka ɖa ɖe ta eye míayi Fia Ahab gbɔ kpɔ be ana nànɔ agbe mahã?”
Ben-Hadad mpanimfoɔ ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, yɛate sɛ Israel ahemfo wɔ ahummɔborɔ. Ɛno enti, momma yɛmfira ayitoma, mfa ahoma mmɔ yɛn ti ase, mfa nkyerɛ ahobrɛaseɛ. Na ebia, ɔhene Ahab bɛma woatena ase.”
32 Ale woyi Fia Ahab gbɔ eye woɖe kuku nɛ be, “Wò dɔla, Fia Ben Hadad le kuku ɖem be, ‘Na manɔ agbe!’” Israel Fia bia be, “Oo, egale agbea? Nɔvinyee!”
Enti, wɔfirafiraa ayitoma, de nhoma bobɔɔ wɔn ti, kɔɔ Israelhene nkyɛn kɔsrɛɛ no sɛ, “Wo ɔsomfoɔ Ben-Hadad se, ‘Mesrɛ wo, ma me ntena nkwa mu.’” Israelhene no bisaa sɛ, “Ɔda so te ase anaa? Ɔyɛ me nuabarima!”
33 Ameawo ɖo eŋu kaba be, “Ɛ̃, nɔviwò, Fia Ben Hadad, gale agbe!” Israel Fia gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi ɖakplɔe vɛ.” Esi Ben Hadad va ɖo la, Ahab na wòge ɖe eƒe tasiaɖam me!
Mmarima no yɛɛ ntɛm sɔɔ anidasoɔ a ɛnni nnyinasoɔ yi mu, buaa sɛ, “Aane, wo nua Ben-Hadad.” Israelhene no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔfa no mmra.” Ɛberɛ a wɔde Ben-Hadad baeɛ no, Ahab ma ɔkɔtenaa ne teaseɛnam mu.
34 Ben Hadad gblɔ nɛ be, “Magbugbɔ du siwo fofonye xɔ le fofowò si la na wò; àte ŋu atsa asi kple Damasko abe ale si fofonye wɔ le Samaria ene.” Ahab gblɔ be, “Bla nu kplim, ekema maɖe asi le ŋuwò nàdzo.” Ale wòbla nu kplii eye wòɖe asi le eŋu wòdzo.

35 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va na nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka be, wòagblɔ na nɔvia aɖe be, “Tsɔ wò yi dzam!” Ke nɔvia gbe.
