1 Agha ọzọ adaghị nʼetiti Aram na Izrel afọ atọ.
And they remained three years there not [was] war between Aram and between Israel.
2 Ma nʼafọ nke atọ, Jehoshafat, eze Juda, gara ileta Ehab eze Izrel.
And it was in the year third and he went down Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah to [the] king of Israel.
3 Eze Izrel sịrị ndị ozi ya, “Unu amaghị na ala Ramọt Gilead bụ nke anyị, ma lee na anyị gbara nkịtị ịga napụta ya site nʼaka eze Aram?”
And he said [the] king of Israel to servants his ¿ do you know that [belongs] to us Ramoth Gilead and we [are] inactive from taking it from [the] hand of [the] king of Aram.
4 Ya mere, ọ jụrụ Jehoshafat, “Ị ga-eso m gaa buso Ramọt Gilead agha?” Jehoshafat zaghachiri eze Izrel, sị, “Otu m dị ka gị onwe gị dị, ndị m bụkwa ndị gị, ịnyịnya m bụkwa nke gị.”
And he said to Jehoshaphat ¿ will you go with me for battle Ramoth Gilead and he said Jehoshaphat to [the] king of Israel as me as you as people my as people your as horses my as horses your.
5 Ma Jehoshafat gwakwara eze Izrel, sị, “Buru ụzọ chọpụta ihe bụ ntụziaka Onyenwe anyị.”
And he said Jehoshaphat to [the] king of Israel seek please as the day [the] word of Yahweh.

And he gathered [the] king of Israel the prophets about four hundred man and he said to them ¿ will I go on Ramoth Gilead for battle or? will I refrain and they said go up so he may give [it] [the] Lord in [the] hand of the king.
7 Ma Jehoshafat jụrụ, “Ọ bụ na e nwekwaghị onye amụma Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe a, onye anyị nwere ike ịjụta ase nʼaka ya?”
And he said Jehoshaphat ¿ [is] there not here a prophet of Yahweh still so we may enquire from him.
8 Eze Izrel zaghachiri Jehoshafat, sị, “A ka nwere otu onye amụma, onye anyị nwere ike isite nʼaka ya jụọ Onyenwe anyị ase, ọ bụ Maikaya nwa Imla, ma akpọrọ m ya asị, nʼihi na o nweghị oge ọ na-ebu amụma ihe ọma nʼebe m nọ, kama ọ bụ naanị nke ọjọọ.” Jehoshafat sịrị, “Eze ekwesighị ikwu okwu dị otu a.”
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 prophesies on me good that except evil Micaiah [the] son of Imlah and he said Jehoshaphat may not he speak the king thus.
9 Mgbe ahụ, eze Izrel kpọrọ otu onye na-ejere ya ozi sị ya, “Mee ọsịịsọ kpọta Maikaya nwa Imla nʼebe a.”
And he summoned [the] king of Israel a court-official one and he said bring quickly! Micaiah [the] son of Imlah.
10 Ehab eze Izrel na Jehoshafat eze Juda, onye ọbụla yi uwe eze ya, na-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ya nʼebe ịzọcha ọka nʼọnụ ụzọ ama e si abata obodo Sameria. Ndị amụma ahụ niile nọkwa na-ebu amụma nʼihu ha.
And [the] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah [were] sitting each on throne his clothed garments at [the] threshing floor [the] entrance of [the] gate of Samaria and all the prophets [were] prophesying before them.
11 Zedekaya nwa Kenaana, mere mpi igwe, ọ kwupụtara sị, “Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ‘Ihe ndị a ka ị ga-eji sọgide ndị Aram, ruo mgbe a ga-ala ha nʼiyi.’”
And he 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.
12 Ndị amụma ndị ọzọ niile na-ebu otu ihe ahụ nʼamụma, na-asị, “Gaa, busoo Ramọt Gilead agha, ị ga-enwekwa mmeri, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe ya nʼaka eze.”
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.
13 Onyeozi ahụ nke gara ịkpọ Maikaya sịrị ya, “Lee, ndị amụma ndị ọzọ na-agụpụghị onye ọbụla na-ebu amụma ọganihu nye eze. Mee ka okwu gị na ha dakọta. Kwuokwa ihe ga-adị eze mma.”
And the messenger who he had gone - to summon Micaiah he spoke to him saying here! please [the] words of the prophets a mouth one [is] good to the king let it be please (word your *Q(K)*) like [the] word of one from them and you will speak good.
14 Ma Maikaya sịrị, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, aga m agwa ya naanị ihe Onyenwe anyị gwara m.”
And he said Micaiah [by] [the] life of Yahweh for [that] which he will say Yahweh to me it I will speak.
15 Mgbe ọ bịarutere, eze jụrụ ya, “Maikaya, ọ bụ anyị gaa buso Ramọt Gilead agha, ka ọ bụ anyị hapụ?” Ọ zara, “Gaa, ma nwekwa mmeri, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe ya nʼaka eze.”
And he came to the king and he said the king to him O Micaiah ¿ will we go against Ramoth Gilead for battle or? will we refrain and he said to him go up and succeed and he will give [it] Yahweh in [the] hand of the king.
16 Eze sịrị ya, “Ugboro ole ka m ga-eme ka ị ṅụọ iyi na ị gaghị agwa m ihe ọzọ, karịa naanị eziokwu nʼaha Onyenwe anyị?”
And he said to him the king until how many? times [will] I make swear you that not you must speak to me only truth in [the] name of Yahweh.
17 Mgbe ahụ Mikaya zara, “Ahụrụ m Izrel niile ka ha gbasasịrị nʼelu ọtụtụ ugwu dịka atụrụ na-enweghị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ, ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Ndị a enweghị onyendu. Ka onye ọbụla laghachi nʼụlọ ya nʼudo.’”
And he said I saw all Israel scattered to 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 house his in peace.
18 Eze Izrel, sịrị Jehoshafat, “Ọ bụ na m agwaghị gị na ọ dịghị mgbe ọ na-ebu amụma ihe ọma banyere m, kama naanị ihe ọjọọ?”
And he said [the] king of Israel to Jehoshaphat ¿ not did I say to you not he prophesies on me good that except evil.
19 Mikaya gara nʼihu, sị, “Ya mere, nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị. Ahụrụ m Onyenwe anyị ka ọ nọkwasịrị nʼocheeze ya, hụkwa usuu nke eluigwe ka ha na-eguzo nʼakụkụ ya, nʼaka nri ya nakwa nʼaka ekpe ya.
And he said therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh I saw Yahweh sitting on throne his and all [the] host of the heavens [was] standing at him from right his and from left his.
20 Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Onye ga-aga rafuo Ehab ka ọ gaa buso Ramọt Gilead agha, gaa nwụọ nʼebe ahụ?’ “Otu onye tụpụtara aro nke a, ebe onye ọzọ tụpụtara nke ọzọ.
And he said Yahweh who? will he deceive Ahab so he may go up and he may fall at Ramoth Gilead and it said this [one] by thus and this [one] [was] saying by thus.
21 Nʼikpeazụ otu mmụọ pụtara, guzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị sị, ‘Mụ onwe m ga-arafu ya.’
And it came forth the spirit and it stood before Yahweh and it said I I will deceive him
22 “‘Onyenwe anyị jụrụ sị, Olee otu ị ga-esi mee nke a?’ “‘Aga m apụ gaa bụrụ mmụọ nrafu nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya niile,’ ka ọ zara. “Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Ị ga-enwe ike ịrafu ya. Gaa mee otu a.’
and he said Yahweh to it how? And it said I will go out and I will be 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.
23 “Ma ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị etinyela mmụọ okwu ụgha nʼọnụ ndị amụma gị niile ndị a. Onyenwe anyị ekwubiela nʼihe ọjọọ ga-adakwasị gị.”
And therefore here! he has put Yahweh a spirit of falsehood in [the] mouth of all prophets your these and Yahweh he has spoken on you evil.
24 Mgbe ahụ, Zedekaya nwa Kenaana, gara nso, maa Maikaya aka na nti, jụọ ya, “Olee ụzọ ka mmụọ ahụ sitere na Onyenwe anyị gara, mgbe ọ hapụrụ m bịa ịgwa gị okwu?”
And he drew near Zedekiah [the] son of Kenaanah and he struck Micaiah on the cheek and he said where? this did it pass on [the] spirit of Yahweh from with me to speak with you.
25 Maikaya zaghachiri, “Ị ga-achọpụta nke a nʼụbọchị ị ga-agbaba nʼime ime ụlọ izo onwe gị.”
And he said Micaiah there you [are] about to see on the day that when you will go a room in a room to hide yourself.
26 Mgbe ahụ, eze Izrel nyere iwu sị, “Jidenụ Maikaya kpụgara ya Amọn onye na-achị obodo a, na Joash nwa eze
And he said [the] king of Israel take Micaiah and take back him to Amon [the] official of the city and to Joash [the] son of the king.
27 ị ga-asịkwa, ‘Otu a ka eze sịrị: Tinye nwoke a nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, nye ya naanị achịcha na mmiri ọṅụṅụ tutu ruo mgbe m lọghachiri nʼudo.’”
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 come I in peace.
28 Maikaya kwupụtara sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị lọghachi nʼudo, ọ pụtara na ọ bụghị Onyenwe anyị si nʼọnụ m kwuo okwu.” O kwukwara sị, “Unu niile hụbakwanụ okwu m ndị a niile ama!”
And he said Micaiah certainly [if] you will return in peace not he has spoken Yahweh by me and he said listen O peoples all of them.
29 Ya mere, eze Izrel na Jehoshafat eze Juda, pụrụ gawa Ramọt Gilead.
And he went up [the] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah Ramoth Gilead.

And he said [the] king of Israel to Jehoshaphat I will disguise myself and I will go in the battle and you wear own clothes your and he disguised himself [the] king of Israel and he went in the battle.

And king of Aram he had commanded [the] commanders of the chariotry which [belonged] to him thirty and two saying not you must do battle with [the] small and with [the] great that except with [the] king of Israel to only him.
32 Mgbe ndị ọchịagha, na-achị ụgbọ agha hụrụ Jehoshafat, ha chere nʼobi ha, “Nʼezie, onye a bụ eze Izrel.” Nʼihi ya ha tụgharịrị ibuso ya agha, ma Jehoshafat tiri mkpu,
And it was when saw [the] commanders of the chariotry Jehoshaphat and they they said surely [is] [the] king of Israel he and they turned aside on him to do battle and he cried out Jehoshaphat.
