1 Na rĩrĩ, kwa ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩtatũ gũtiarĩ na mbaara gatagatĩ ga Suriata na Isiraeli.
Ɔko biara ansi Aram ne Israel ntam mfeɛ mmiɛnsa.
2 No mwaka-inĩ wa gatatũ, Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda agĩikũrũka, agĩthiĩ gũceerera mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
Na mfeɛ mmiɛnsa no mu, ɔhene Yehosafat a ɔdi adeɛ Yuda kɔɔ Israelhene Ahab nkyɛn.
3 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩakoretwo eera anene ake atĩrĩ, “Githĩ mũtiũĩ atĩ Ramothu-Gileadi nĩ itũũra riitũ, na gũtirĩ ũndũ tũreka wa kũrĩoya rĩngĩ kuuma kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Suriata?”
Na Ahab abisa ne mpanimfoɔ sɛ, “Moahunu sɛ Aramfoɔ da so te yɛn kuro Ramot Gilead mu? Nanso, yɛnyɛɛ ho hwee!”
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩũria Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩũgũthiĩ na niĩ tũkahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi?” Nake Jehoshafatu agĩcookeria mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nawe tũrĩ ũndũ ũmwe, andũ akwa no ta andũ aku, na mbarathi ciakwa no ta mbarathi ciaku.”
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 No Jehoshafatu agĩcooka akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Amba ũtuĩrie na ũmenye ũtaaro wa Jehova.”
Na Yehosafat ka kaa ho sɛ, “Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ma yɛmmisa Awurade hɔ afotuo.”
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookanĩrĩria anabii hamwe, nao maarĩ anabii ta magana mana, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ngahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi, kana ndigathiĩ?” Makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩekũneana itũũra rĩu moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
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 Nowe Jehoshafatu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũkũ gũtarĩ mũnabii wa Jehova ũrĩa tũngĩtuĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ we?”
Nanso, Yehosafat bisaa sɛ, “Enti, Awurade odiyifoɔ biara nso nni ha? Anka mepɛ sɛ mebisa no saa asɛm korɔ no ara.”
8 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookeria Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe ũrĩa ũngĩtũtuĩrĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no nĩndĩmũthũire tondũ gũtirĩ hĩndĩ andathagĩra ũndũ mwega, no maũndũ mooru hĩndĩ ciothe. Nake nĩwe Mikaya mũrũ wa Imula.” No Jehoshafatu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki ndagĩrĩirwo nĩ kuuga ũguo.”
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩta ũmwe wa anene ake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndehera Mikaya mũrũ wa Imula narua.”
Enti, Israelhene frɛɛ ne mpanimfoɔ no mu baako, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ka wo ho kɔfa Imla babarima Mikaia bra.”
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda mehumbĩte nguo ciao cia ũthamaki na magaikarĩra itĩ ciao cia ũnene hau kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano, itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra rĩa Samaria, nao anabii othe maarĩ ho makĩratha me mbere yao.
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 Na rĩrĩ, Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana nĩathondekete hĩa cia kĩgera, nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ici nĩcio mũgatheeca Asuriata nacio nginya mũmaniine.’”
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 Nao anabii acio angĩ othe maarathaga o ũndũ ũmwe, makoiga atĩrĩ, “Tharĩkĩra Ramothu-Gileadi na nĩũgũtooria, tondũ Jehova nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
Adiyifoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa penee so, kaa sɛ, “Aane, monkɔ Ramot-Gilead, na monkɔdi nkonim, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade bɛma moadi nkonim.”
13 Mũndũ ũrĩa watũmĩtwo ageete Mikaya akĩmwĩra ũũ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, anabii arĩa angĩ othe maarĩtie o ta mũndũ ũmwe, nao mararathĩra mũthamaki ũhootani. Reke kiugo gĩaku gĩĩtĩkanie na kĩao, na warie ũndũ mwega.”
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 Nowe Mikaya akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, niĩ ngũmwĩra o ũrĩa Jehova ekũnjĩĩra.”
Nanso, Mikaia kaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te aseɛ yi, deɛ Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no na mɛka.”
15 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire-rĩ, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mikaya, tũthiĩ tũkahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi, kana tũtigaathiĩ?” Nake Mikaya akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rĩtharĩkĩre na ũhootane, tondũ Jehova nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
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 Mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ maita maigana ngũtũũra ngwĩhĩtithagia ndũkae kũnjĩĩra ũhoro ũngĩ, tiga ũhoro wa ma thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova?”
Nanso, ɔhene no sɔɔ so sɛ, “Mpɛn ahe na menka sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a wobɛkasa ama Awurade no, ɛsɛ sɛ woka nokorɛ?”
17 Nake Mikaya akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩronire andũ a Isiraeli othe mahurunjũkĩire irĩma-inĩ ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi, nake Jehova aroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ aya matirĩ na mwathi. O mũndũ nĩarekwo ainũke gwake na thayũ.’”
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 Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndikwĩrire atĩ ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩndathĩra ũhoro mwega, tiga o ũrĩa mũũru?”
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 agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thikĩrĩria kiugo kĩa Jehova: Ndĩronire Jehova aikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene arĩ na mbũtũ yothe ya igũrũ ĩrũgamĩte ĩmũthiũrũkĩirie mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
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 Nake Jehova akĩũria atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũkũheenereria Ahabu nĩguo atharĩkĩre Ramothu-Gileadi, nĩgeetha athiĩ agakuĩre kuo?’ “Ũmwe akiuga ũũ, na ũrĩa ũngĩ ũũ.
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 Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ roho ũmwe ũkiumĩra, ũkĩrũgama mbere ya Jehova, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ ngũmũheenereria.’
kɔsii sɛ ne korakora no, honhom bi kɔɔ Awurade nkyɛn kɔkaa sɛ, “Mɛtumi ayɛ!”
22 “Jehova akĩũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkũmũheenereria atĩa?’ “Naguo ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩgũthiĩ ngũthiĩ nduĩke roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii ake othe.’ “Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩũkũhota kũmũheenereria. Thiĩ ũgeeke ũguo.’
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 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova nĩekĩrĩte roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii aya aku othe. Jehova nĩagwathĩrĩirie mwanangĩko.”
“Enti afei, Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifoɔ anomu. Na Awurade adwene ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ ama wo.”
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana agĩkuhĩrĩria na akĩgũtha Mikaya rũhĩ rwa ũthiũ. Akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ roho wa Jehova aragereire kũ rĩrĩa aroimire kũrĩ niĩ, nĩguo aarie nawe?”
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 agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkamenya mũthenya ũrĩa ũgaathiĩ kwĩhitha kanyũmba ka na thĩinĩ.”
Na Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Ɛrenkyɛre biara, wobɛhunu nokorɛ no wɔ ɛberɛ a wobɛdwane akɔtɛ kɔkoam dan bi mu.”
26 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Oyai Mikaya mũmũcookie kũrĩ Amoni mwathi wa itũũra inene, na kũrĩ Joashu mũrũ wa mũthamaki,
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 na muge atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki ekuuga ũũ: Mũndũ ũyũ nĩaikio njeera na ndakaheo kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa tiga mũgate na maaĩ, nginya rĩrĩa ngaacooka na thayũ.’”
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 akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩgaacooka na thayũ-rĩ, no gũtuĩkire atĩ Jehova ndaarĩtie na niĩ.” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Iguai ũhoro wakwa, inyuĩ andũ aya inyuothe!”
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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda makĩambata nginya Ramothu-Gileadi.
Na Israelhene ne Yudahene Yehosafat dii wɔn akodɔm anim, kɔto hyɛɛ Ramot-Gilead so.
30 Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũtoonya mbaara-inĩ ndĩĩgarũrĩte ndikamenyeke, no wee wĩkĩre nguo cia ũthamaki.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩgarũra ndakamenyeke na agĩtoonya mbaara-inĩ.
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 Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩathĩte anene ake mĩrongo ĩtatũ na eerĩ a ngaari cia ita, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Mũtikarũe na mũndũ o na ũmwe, mũnene kana mũnini, tiga o mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.”
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Aramhene ahyɛ ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ aduasa mmienu no sɛ, “Monto nhyɛ Israelhene nko ara so!”
32 Rĩrĩa anene a mbũtũ cia ngaari cia ita moonire Jehoshafatu magĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ ũyũ nĩwe mũthamaki wa Isiraeli” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩgarũrũka mamũtharĩkĩre, no rĩrĩa Jehoshafatu aakaire-rĩ,
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,

34 No mũndũ ũmwe akĩgeeta ũta wake, agĩikia mũguĩ o ro ũguo, naguo ũkĩratha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli o gatagatĩ-inĩ ka magathĩkanĩrio ma nguo yake ya mbaara. Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra mũtwarithia wa ngaari yake ya ita atĩrĩ, “Garũra ngaari ũndute mbaara-inĩ. Nĩndagurario.”
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 Nayo mbaara ĩkĩneneha, ĩgĩthiĩ na mbere mũthenya wothe, nake mũthamaki agĩikara anyiitĩrĩirwo ngaari-inĩ yake ya ita angʼetheire Asuriata. Nayo thakame ĩkiura kuuma kĩronda gĩake hau aagurarĩtio, ĩgĩitĩka ngaari-inĩ ya ita, na hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio agĩkua.
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 Riũa rĩgĩthũa, gũkĩanĩrĩrwo kũrĩ mbũtũ cia ita, ikĩĩrwo atĩrĩ, “O mũndũ nĩainũke itũũra rĩake; o mũndũ nĩacooke bũrũri wake!”
Onwunu reyɛ adwo no, wɔteateaam faa akodɔm no nyinaa mu sɛ: “Ɔko no aba awieeɛ. Monsane nkɔ efie!”
37 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩkua na agĩtwarwo Samaria, makĩmũthika kuo.
Na ɔhene no wuiɛ no, wɔde nʼamu no kɔɔ Samaria, kɔsiee no wɔ hɔ.
38 Nao magĩthambĩria ngaari ĩyo ya ita karia-inĩ ga Samaria, (harĩa maraya meethambagĩra), nacio ngui igĩcũna thakame yake, o ta ũrĩa kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩoigĩte.
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 Namo maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Ahabu, hamwe na maũndũ marĩa we eekire, na nyũmba ya ũthamaki ĩrĩa aakithirie na ĩkĩgemio na mĩguongo, o na matũũra marĩa airigire na thingo cia hinya, githĩ maũndũ macio matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
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 akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make. Nake mũriũ Ahazia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
Ɛberɛ a Ahab wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagyanom mu. Na ne babarima Ahasia dii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
41 Jehoshafatu mũrũ wa Asa aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Juda mwaka-inĩ wa ĩna wa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
Asa babarima Yehosafat bɛdii Yuda so ɛberɛ a na Ahab adi adeɛ wɔ Israel ne mfeɛ ɛnan so no.
42 Jehoshafatu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtano rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtano. Nyina eetagwo Azuba mwarĩ wa Shilihi.
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 No maũndũ-inĩ mothe, aarũmĩrĩire mĩthiĩre ya ithe Asa na ndarĩ hĩndĩ aatiganire nayo; nĩekire maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova. O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gũtieheririo, nao andũ magĩthiĩ na mbere kũrutĩra magongona na gũcinĩra ũbumba kuo.
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.

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 Nake Jehoshafatu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, agĩthikwo hamwe nao itũũra-inĩ rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Jehoramu agĩthamaka ithenya rĩake.
Yehosafat wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Yehoram na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene.
51 Ahazia mũrũ wa Ahabu aatuĩkire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na mũgwanja wa Jehoshafatu, mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩthamakĩra Isiraeli mĩaka ĩĩrĩ.
