1 Azɔ la, kesinɔnu geɖe ɖo Yehosafat si eye bubu hã nɔ eŋu. Ewɔ ɖeka kple Ahab to via nyɔnuvi ɖeka ɖeɖe me.
Therfor Josaphat was riche and ful noble, and bi affynyte, `ethir alie, he was ioyned to Achab.
2 Le ƒe ʋɛe aɖewo megbe la, eyi Samaria be yeakpɔ Fia Ahab ɖa eye Fia Ahab wu alẽ kple nyi geɖewo heɖo kplɔ̃ na Yehosafat kple eƒe amewo. Ahab bia Yehosafat be wòakpe ɖe ye ŋu yewoaho aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋu.
And aftir yeeris he cam doun to hym in to Samarie; at whos comyng Achab killide ful many wetheris and oxis, and to the puple that cam with hym; and he counseilide hym to stie in to Ramoth of Galaad.
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 Achab, the kyng of Israel, seide to Josaphat, kyng of Juda, Come thou with me in to Ramoth of Galaad. To whom he answeride, As and Y am, thou art; as thi puple, so and my puple; and we schulen be with thee in batel.
4 Gake Yehosafat gblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu na Israel fia bena “Bia gbe Yehowa gbã.”
And Josaphat seide to the kyng of Israel, Y biseche, counsele thou in present tyme the word of the Lord.
5 Ale Israel fia ƒo nyagblɔɖila alafa ene nu ƒu eye wòbia wo be, “Mího aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋu loo alo mínɔ anyi koa?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Yi, elabena Mawu atsɔe ade fia la ƒe asi me.”
Therfor the kyng of Israel gaderide togidere foure hundrid `men of prophetis, and seide to hem, Owen we to go in to Ramath of Galaad for to fiyte, ethir `take reste? And thei seiden, Stie ye, and God schal bitake in the hond of the king.
6 Ke Yehosafat bia be, “Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila mele afi sia, si míabia gbee oa?”
And Josaphat seide, Whether no profete of the Lord is here, that we `axe also of hym?
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 the kyng of Israel seide to Josaphat, O man is, of whom we `moun axe the wille of the Lord, but and Y hate hym, for he prophecieth not good, but yuel to me in al tyme; sothely it is Mychee, the sone of Jebla. And Josaphat seide to hym, Kyng, speke thou not in this maner.
8 Ale Israel fia la gblɔ na eŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka be, “Yi kaba nàyɔ Mikaya, Imla ƒe vi la vɛ!”
Therfor the kyng of Israel clepide oon of the geldyngis, and seide to hym, Clepe thou soone Mychee, the sone of Jebla.
9 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Israel fia kple Yuda fia Yehosafat do woƒe fiawuwo, eye wonɔ fiazikpuiwo dzi le lugbɔƒe le Samariagbo la gbɔ, eye nyagblɔɖilawo katã nɔ nya gblɔm ɖi le woƒe ŋkume.
Forsothe the kyng of Israel and Josaphat, the kyng of Juda, saten euer eithir in his seete, and weren clothid in kyngis aray; forsothe thei saten in the cornfloor, `ether large hows, bisidis the yate of Samarie; and alle the prophetis profesieden bifor hem.
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.”
Forsothe Sedechie, the sone of Cananee, made to hym yrone hornes, and seide, The Lord seith these thingis, With these thou schalt wyndewe Sirie, til thou al to-brake it.
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 alle prophetis profesieden in lijk maner, and seiden, Stie thou in to Ramoth of Galaad, and thou schalt haue prosperite; and the Lord schal bitake hem in to the hondis of the kyng.
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.”
Forsothe the messanger, that yede to clepe Mychee, seide to hym, Lo! the wordis of alle prophetis tellen with o mouth goodis to the kyng; therfor, Y preye thee, that thi word disente not fro hem, and that thou speke prosperitees.
13 Ke Mikaya gblɔ be, “Meta Mawu be, nya si Mawu gblɔ la ko magblɔ.”
To whom Mychee answeride, The Lord lyueth, for what euer thingis my Lord spekith to me, Y schal speke these thingis. Therfor he cam to the kyng.
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!”
To whom the kyng seide, Mychee, owen we go in to Ramoth of Galaad to fiyte, ether take reste? To whom he answeride, Stie ye, for alle prosperitees schulen come, and enemyes schulen be bitakun in to youre hondis.
15 Fia la biae be, “Zi neni magblɔ na wò be nàgblɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo na wò be nàgblɔ la ko?”
And the kyng seide, Eft and eft Y charge thee, that thou speke not to me no but that that is soth in the name of the Lord.
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 seide, Y siy al Israel scaterid in the hillis, as scheep with out scheepherde. And the Lord seide, These men han not lordis; ech man turne ayen in to his hows in pees.
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.”
The kyng of Israel seide to Josaphat, Whether Y seide not to thee, that he profesiede not ony good to me, but tho thingis that ben yuele?
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 therfor Mychee seide, Here ye the word of the Lord. Y siy the Lord sittynge in his trone, and al the oost of heuene stondynge nyy him at the riytside and `leftside.
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 the Lord seide, Who schal disseyue Achab, the kyng of Israel, that he stie, and falle doun in Ramoth of Galaad? And whanne oon seide in this maner, and another seide in another maner, a spirit cam forth,
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 stood bifor the Lord, and seide, Y schal disseyue hym. To whom the Lord seide, `Wherynne, therfor schalt thou disseyue?
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 he answeride, Y schal go out, and Y schal be a `fals spirit in the mouth of alle hise profetis. And the Lord seide, Thou schalt disseyue, and thou schalt haue the maystri; go thou out, and do so.
22 “Yehowa de aʋatsokagbɔbgɔ nume na nyagblɔɖila siawo katã, ke nyateƒe lae nye be, Aƒetɔ la ɖo dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe ŋuwò.”
Now therfor, lo! the Lord hath youe a spirit of leesyng in the mouth of alle thi prophetis, and the Lord spak yuels of thee.
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?”
Forsothe Sedechie, the sone of Chananee, neiyide, and smoot `the cheke of Mychee, and seide, Bi what weye passide the Spirit of the Lord fro me to speke to thee?
24 Mikaya ɖo eŋu be, “Àkpɔ ŋuɖoɖo na wò biabia sia ne èkpɔ be yebe ɖe xɔ emetɔ aɖe me.”
And Mychee seide, Thou thi silf schalt se in that dai, whanne thou schalt entre fro closet in to closet, that thou be hid.
25 Israel fia ɖe gbe be, “Milé Mikaya eye miakplɔe yi na dumegã Amon kple vinye Yoas.
Sotheli the kyng of Israel comaundide, seiynge, Take ye Mychee, and lede ye hym to Amon, prince of the citee, and to Joas, the sone of Amalech;
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 ye schulen seie, The kyng seith these thingis, Sende ye this man in to prisoun, and yyue ye to hym a litil of breed, and a litil of watir, til Y turne ayen in pees.
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 Mychee seide, If thou turnest ayen in pees, the Lord spak not in me. And he seide, Alle `puplis here ye.
28 Ale Israel fia kple Yuda fia kplɔ woƒe aʋakɔwo yi Ramot Gilead.
Therfor the kyng of Israel, and Josaphat, the kyng of Juda, stieden in to Ramoth of Galaad.
29 Israel fia gblɔ na Yehosafat be, “Mado awu bubuwo ale be ame aɖeke makpɔm adze sii o; ke wò ya la, do wò fiawu!” Ale wowɔ ɖe Israel fia ƒe ɖoɖo sia dzi.
And the kyng of Israel seide to Josaphat, Y schal chaunge clothing, and so Y schal go to fiyte; but be thou clothid in thi clothis. Therfor whanne the kyng of Israel hadde chaungid clothing, he cam to batel.
30 Aram fia de se na eƒe tasiaɖamdzikpɔlawo be, “Miɖe asi le ame sia ame ŋu eye miati Israel fia ɖeɖe ko yome!”
Forsothe the kyng of Sirie comaundide to the duykis of his multitude of knyytis, and seide, Fiyte ye not ayens the leeste, nether ayens the mooste; no but ayens the kyng aloone of Israel.
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
Therfor whanne the princes of the multitude of knyytis hadden seyn Josaphat, thei seiden, This is the kyng of Israel; and thei cumpassiden hym, and fouyten. And he criede to the Lord; and the Lord helpide hym, and turnede hem awey fro hym.
32 elabena esi wodze sii be menye eyae nye Israel fia la o ko la, wodzudzɔ eyometiti.
Sotheli whanne the duykis of the multitude of knyytis hadden herd, that it was not the kyng of Israel, thei leften hym.
33 Ke Syriatɔwo ƒe aʋawɔla ɖeka da aŋutrɔ ɖe Israelʋakɔ la me ko eye wòŋɔ Israel fia la to dometsotso si le eƒe aʋawu etetɔ kple eƒe akɔtakpoxɔnu dome. Israel fia la gblɔ na eƒe tasiaɖamkula be, “Kplɔm dzoe le afi sia elabena mexɔ abi vevie.”
Forsothe it bifelde, that oon of the puple schette an arewe in to vncerteyn, and smoot the kyng of Israel bitwixe the necke and the schuldris. And he seide to his charietere, Turne thin hond, and lede me out of the scheltrun; for Y am woundid.
34 Aʋa la nu nɔ sesẽm ɖe edzi ŋkeke blibo la. Israel fia la ziɔ ɖe nu ŋuti le eƒe tasiaɖam la me henɔ aʋa la dzi kple Arameatɔwo, ke esi ɣe ɖo to ko la, eku.
And the batel was endid in that dai. Certis the kyng of Israel stood in his chare ayens men of Sirye `til to euentid, and he diede, whanne the sunne yede doun.
