And he went down to [the] end of years to Ahab to Samaria and he slaughtered for him Ahab sheep and cattle to abundance and for the people which [was] with him and he incited him to go up against Ramoth Gilead.
3 Ahab, Israel fia, bia Yuda fia, Yehosafat be, “Àte ŋu akpe ɖe ŋunye míaho aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋua?” Yehosafat ɖo eŋu be, “Mele abe wò ene eye nye dukɔ le abe wò dukɔ ene. Míakpe ɖe ŋutiwò le aʋa la me.”
And he said Ahab [the] king of Israel to Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah ¿ will you go with me Ramoth Gilead and he said to him as me as you and [will be] as people your people my and with you in the battle.
4 Gake Yehosafat gblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu na Israel fia bena “Bia gbe Yehowa gbã.”
And he said Jehoshaphat to [the] king of Israel seek please as the day [the] word of Yahweh.

And he assembled [the] king of Israel the prophets four hundred man and he said to them ¿ will we go against Ramoth Gilead for battle or? will I desist and they said go up so he may give [it] God in [the] hand of the king.
6 Ke Yehosafat bia be, “Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila mele afi sia, si míabia gbee oa?”
And he said Jehoshaphat ¿ [is] there not here a prophet of Yahweh still so we may enquire from him.
7 Israel fia ɖo eŋu na Yehosafat be, “Ame ɖeka aɖe gali ame si dzi míato abia gbe Yehowa gake melé fui elabena megblɔa nyanyui aɖeke ɖi tso ŋunye o; nya vɔ̃ ko wògblɔna ɖi tso ŋunye. Eyae nye Mikaya, Imla ƒe viŋutsu.” Yehosafat ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Fia la megagblɔ nya ma o.”
And he said [the] king of Israel - to Jehoshaphat still a man one to consult Yahweh from him and I I hate him for not he [is] prophesying on me good for all days his evil he [is] Micaiah [the] son of Imlah and he said Jehoshaphat may not he say the king thus.

And he called [the] king of Israel to a court-official one and he said bring quickly (Micaiah *Q(K)*) [the] son of Imlah.

And [the] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah [were] sitting each on throne his clothed garments and sitting at [the] threshing floor [the] entrance of [the] gate of Samaria and all the prophets [were] prophesying before them.
10 Nyagblɔɖilawo dometɔ ɖeka, Zedekiya, Kenana ƒe vi, tsɔ ga wɔ lãdzo aɖe eye wògblɔ be, Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Àtsɔ lãdzo sia atutu Siriatɔwo tso afii yi afi mɛ va se ɖe esime woatsrɔ̃.”
And he had made for himself Zedekiah [the] son of Kenaanah horns of iron and he said thus he says Yahweh with these you will gore Aram until destroy them.
11 Nyagblɔɖila bubuawo katã lɔ̃ ɖe edzi hegblɔ kple gbe ɖeka be, “Ẽ, yi Ramot Gilead eye àkpɔ dzidzedze elabena Yehowa ana nàɖu dzi.”
And all the prophets [were] prophesying thus saying go up Ramoth Gilead and succeed and he will give [it] Yahweh in [the] hand of the king.
12 Ame si yi ɖayɔ Mikaya la, gblɔ nya si dzɔ kple nya si nyagblɔɖilawo nɔ gbɔgblɔm be fia la aɖu dzi le aʋa la me la nɛ. Eyi edzi gblɔ na Mikaya be, “Mexɔe se be àƒo nu abe nyagblɔɖila mawo ene eye àkpɔ nyanyui aɖe agblɔ.”
And the messenger who he had gone - to summon Micaiah he spoke to him saying here! [the] words of the prophets a mouth one [is] good concerning the king and let it be please word your like one from them and you will speak good.
13 Ke Mikaya gblɔ be, “Meta Mawu be, nya si Mawu gblɔ la ko magblɔ.”
And he said Micaiah [by] [the] life of Yahweh that [that] which he will say God my it I will speak.
14 Esi Mikaya va ɖo fia la gbɔ la, fia la biae be, “Mikaya, ɖe míaho aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋu loo alo ɖe míanɔ anyi koa?” Mikaya ɖo eŋu be, “Miyi! Miaɖu dzi bɔbɔe!”
And he came to the king and he said the king to him O Micah ¿ will we go against Ramoth Gilead for battle or? will I desist and he said go up and succeed so they may be given in hand your.
15 Fia la biae be, “Zi neni magblɔ na wò be nàgblɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo na wò be nàgblɔ la ko?”
And he said to him the king until how many? times [will] I make swear you that not you will speak to me only truth in [the] name of Yahweh.
16 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.’”
And he said I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like flock which not [belongs] to them a shepherd and he said Yahweh not masters [belong] to these let them return each to own house his in peace.
17 Israel fia la gblɔ na Yehosafat be, “Nyemegblɔe na wò oa? Megblɔa nyanyui aɖeke nam gbeɖe o. Vɔ̃ kokoko wòkpɔna gblɔna ɖaa tso ŋunye.”
And he said [the] king of Israel to Jehoshaphat ¿ not did I say to you not he prophesies on me good that except evil.
18 Mikaya yi edzi be, “Ɖo to nàse nya bubu si Yehowa gagblɔ nam la ɖa. Mekpɔ Yehowa le eƒe fiazikpui dzi eye dziƒoʋakɔ geɖewo le tsitre ɖe eƒe ɖusi kple mia dzi.
And he said therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh I saw Yahweh sitting on throne his and all [the] host of the heavens [were] standing on right [hand] his and left [hand] his.
19 Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Ame ka ate ŋu able Ahab, Israel fia, nu be wòaho aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋu eye wòakpɔ eƒe ku le afi ma?’ “Amewo do susu vovovowo ɖa.
And he said Yahweh who? will he deceive Ahab [the] king of Israel so he may go up and he may fall at Ramoth Gilead and he said this one [was] saying thus and this one [was] saying thus.
20 Mlɔeba la, gbɔgbɔ aɖe do ɖe ŋgɔ, tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume eye wògblɔ be, ‘Mable enu ade eme.’ “Ke Yehowa bia be, ‘Aleke nawɔe?’
And it came forth the spirit and it stood before Yahweh and it said I I will deceive him and he said Yahweh to it how?
21 “Eɖo eŋu be, ‘Mayi abe aʋatsokagbɔgbɔ ene, aɖo nume na eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo katã.’ “Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Esia anyo eye wòadze edzi hã, yi, nàwɔ alea.’
And it said I will go out and I will become a spirit of falsehood in [the] mouth of all prophets his and he said you will deceive and also you will prevail go out and do thus.
22 “Yehowa de aʋatsokagbɔbgɔ nume na nyagblɔɖila siawo katã, ke nyateƒe lae nye be, Aƒetɔ la ɖo dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe ŋuwò.”
And now here! he has put Yahweh a spirit of falsehood in [the] mouth of prophets your these and Yahweh he has spoken on you calamity.
23 Tete Zedekiya, Kenana ƒe vi, gogo Mikaya eye wòƒo tome nɛ hebiae be, “Ɣe ka ɣie Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ dzo le gbɔnye eye wòƒo nu na wò?”
And he drew near Zedekiah [the] son of Kenaanah and he struck Micaiah on the cheek and he said where? this [is] the way [which] it passed [the] spirit of Yahweh from with me to speak with you.
24 Mikaya ɖo eŋu be, “Àkpɔ ŋuɖoɖo na wò biabia sia ne èkpɔ be yebe ɖe xɔ emetɔ aɖe me.”
And he said Micaiah here you [will be] seeing on the day that when you will go a room in a room to hide yourself.
25 Israel fia ɖe gbe be, “Milé Mikaya eye miakplɔe yi na dumegã Amon kple vinye Yoas.
And he said [the] king of Israel take Micaiah and return him to Amon [the] official of the city and to Joash [the] son of the king.
26 Migblɔ na wo be, ‘Fia la be miade ŋutsu sia gaxɔ me eye miana abolo kple tsi koe va se ɖe esime magbɔ le ŋutifafa me!’”
And you will say thus he says the king put this one [the] house of imprisonment and feed him bread oppression and water oppression until return I in safety.
27 Mikaya ɖo eŋu be, “Ne ètrɔ gbɔ le ŋutifafa me la, ekema Yehowa meƒo nu to dzinye o.” Etrɔ ɖe ame siwo le tsitre le afi ma la gbɔ eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mide dzesi nya si megblɔ.”

And [the] king of Aram he had commanded [the] commanders of the chariotry which [belonged] to him saying not you must do battle with the small with the great that except with [the] king of Israel to only him.
31 Esi tasiaɖamkulawo ƒe amegãwo kpɔ Yehosafat la, wobu be, eya kokokoe nye Israel fia la. Ale wolũ ɖe edzi, ke Yehosafat do ɣli eye Yehowa xɔ nɛ. Ke Mawu ble wo dzoe le egbɔ
And it was when saw [the] commanders of the chariotry Jehoshaphat and they they said [is] [the] king of Israel he and they surrounded him to fight and he cried out Jehoshaphat and Yahweh he helped him and he lured them God away from him.
32 elabena esi wodze sii be menye eyae nye Israel fia la o ko la, wodzudzɔ eyometiti.
And it was when saw [the] commanders of the chariotry that not it was [the] king of Israel and they turned back from after him.
