UZedekhiya indodana kaKhenahana wasezenzela izimpondo zensimbi, wathi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngalezi uzahlaba amaSiriya uze uwaqede.
12 Nyagblɔɖila bubuawo katã lɔ̃ ɖe edzi hegblɔ kple gbe ɖeka be, “Ɛ̃, yi Ramot Gilead eye àkpɔ dzidzedze elabena Yehowa ana nàɖu dzi.”

Esefikile enkosini, inkosi yathi kuye: Mikhaya, siye eRamothi-Gileyadi empini kumbe siyekele? Wasesithi kuyo: Yenyuka, uphumelele; ngoba uJehova uzayinikela esandleni senkosi.
16 Fia la biae be, “Zi neni magblɔ na wò be nàgblɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo na wò be nàgblɔ la ko?”
Inkosi yasisithi kuye: Ngizakufungisa kuze kube kangaki ukuthi ungangitsheli lutho ngaphandle kweqiniso ebizweni leNkosi?
17 Mikaya gblɔ nɛ be, “Mekpɔ Israelviwo katã wokaka ɖe togbɛwo dzi abe alẽ siwo si kplɔla aɖeke mele o la ene eye Yehowa gblɔ nam be, ‘Kplɔla mele ame siawo si o; woneyi aƒe me le ŋutifafa me.’”

Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuJehoshafathi: Kangikutshelanga yini ukuthi kayikuprofetha okuhle ngami kodwa okubi?
19 Mikaya yi edzi be, “Ɖo to nàse nya si Yehowa gblɔ la ƒe dziyiyi. Mekpɔ Yehowa wònɔ eƒe fiazikpui dzi eye dziƒoʋakɔwo tsi tsitre ƒo xlãe le eƒe ɖusi kple mia dzi.

INkosi yasisithi: Ngubani ozahuga uAhabi ukuthi enyuke ayewela eRamothi-Gileyadi? Omunye-ke watsho njalo, lomunye watsho njalo.
21 Mlɔeba la, gbɔgbɔ aɖe do ɖe ŋgɔ, tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume eye wògblɔ be, ‘Mable enu ade eme.’
Kwasekuphuma umoya, wema phambi kweNkosi wathi: Mina ngizamhuga.
22 “Yehowa biae be, ‘Aleke nàwɔ nu siae?’ “Mawudɔla la ɖo eŋu be, Mayi abe aʋatsokagbɔgbɔ ene, aɖo nu me na eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo katã. “Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Esia anyo eye wòadze edzi hã, yi, nàwɔ alea.’
INkosi yasisithi kuye: Ngani? Wasesithi: Ngizaphuma ngibe ngumoya wamanga emlonyeni wabo bonke abaprofethi bakhe. Yasisithi: Uzamhuga, njalo uzaphumelela; phuma wenze njalo.
23 “Yehowa de aʋatsokagbɔbgɔ nu me na nyagblɔɖila siawo katã, ke nyateƒe lae nye be Aƒetɔ la ɖo dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe ŋuwò.”
Ngakho-ke, khangela, iNkosi ifake umoya wamanga emlonyeni walababaprofethi bakho bonke, njalo iNkosi ikhulume okubi ngawe.
