U-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli yabuza uJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wathi: “Uzahamba lami na ukuyahlasela iRamothi Giliyadi?” UJehoshafathi waphendula wathi, “Mina nginjengawe, abantu bami banjengabantu bakho; sizakuba lawe empini.”
4 Hianagi Jehosafeti'a huno, Kotazana amama ha'ma hunaku'ma nehu'azana Ra Anumzamo'a na'ane hugahifi antahigeta keteta'e huno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapuna asami'ne.
Kodwa uJehoshafathi waphinda wathi enkosini yako-Israyeli, “Akubuze kuThixo kuqala.”

Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli yasibuthanisa abaphrofethi, amadoda angamakhulu amane, yababuza yathi, “Siphume impi siyehlasela iRamothi Giliyadi, loba ngizithibe na?” Bayiphendula bathi, “Hamba, ngoba uNkulunkulu uzayinikela esandleni senkosi.”
6 Hianagi Jehosafati'a mago'ene huno, Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa vahera ama'age mani'nazafi, mago'a mani'nazagu zmantahigegahune huno hu'ne.
Kodwa uJehoshafathi wabuza wathi, “Kambe kakusela mphrofethi kaThixo lapha esingabuza kuye na?”
7 Anage higeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a huno, Mago kasnampa nera Imla nemofo Mikaia mani'neankita antahigenunkeno, Anumzamofo avesira antahigeno kegahie. Hianagi Imala nemofo Mikaiana tusi navaresra hunentoa kasnampa ne' mani'ne. Na'ankure agra kasnampa kema hiana, nagri'ma nazeri havizahu kege nehie. Higeno Jehosafeti'a huno, Kini ne'moka, e'inahu kea osunka atregeno agra na'ane hugahifi antahimneno.
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafathi, “Ukhona oyedwa esingabuza uThixo ngaye kodwa ngiyamzonda ngoba kakaze aphrofethe okuhle ngami, uhlala ekhuluma okubi. Ibizo lakhe nguMikhaya indodana ka-Imla.” UJehoshafathi wathi, “Inkosi kayimelanga itsho njalo.”
8 Anage higeno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a eri'za vahe'a hunteno, Ame hunka Imla ne'mofo Mikaiana ome avrenka eno.
Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli yabiza esinye sezikhulu zayo yathi kuso, “Ngibizela uMikhaya indodana ka-Imla khathesi.”
9 Hanki Israeli kini ne' Ahapu'ene Juda kini ne' Jehosafatikea kini vahe zaza kukena huke tra'znire Sameria kuma kafante witi akru neharazare mani'nake'za, zamavuga ana kasnampa vahetmimo'za kasnampa kea hu'naze.
Bembethe izembatho zabo zobukhosi, inkosi yako-Israyeli loJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda babehlezi ezihlalweni zabo zobukhosi esizeni sokubhulela amabele esangweni laseSamariya labo bonke abaphrofethi bephrofetha phambi kwabo.

UZedekhiya indodana kaKhenana wayekhande impondo zensimbi, wasesithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uthi: ‘Ngempondo lezi uzagwaza ama-Aramu uwabhubhise.’”
11 Anage hige'za mika kasnampa vahe'mo'za magozahu kasnampa kege nehu'za amanage hu'naze, marerinka Ramot-Giliati vahera hara ome huzmagatero. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kini ne'moka kazampi zamavarentegahie.
Bonke abaphrofethi babevele bephrofetha okufananayo besithi, “Hlasela iRamothi Giliyadi unqobe, ngoba uThixo uyinikile esandleni senkosi.”
12 Hagi Mikaiama asminaku'ma via eri'za ne'mo'a, Mikaiana asmino, ko, mika kasnampa vahe'mo'za Ahapuna knare kasnampa kegege'za eme asmi'naze. Hanki menina antahio, mago'a kasnampa vahe'mo'zama hu'nazankna hunka kini ne'moka hara agateregahane hunka ome asmio.
Isithunywa esasithunywe ukuyabiza uMikhaya sathi kuye, “Khangela, abanye abaphrofethi bafakaza bengela kuthandabuza ukuthi inkosi izanqoba. Lawe vumelana labo, ukhulume okuyithokozisayo.”
13 Hianagi Mikaia'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamo'ma nasami'nea kege'za hugahue.
Kodwa uMikhaya wathi, “Ngeqiniso njengoba uThixo ekhona, engingamtshela khona yilokhu okutshiwo nguThixo.”
14 Hagi Mikaia'ma kini ne' Ahapunte'ma ehanatigeno'a Ahapu'a antahigeno, Mikaiaga Ramot-Gileati kumate vahera hara ome huzmantegahufi hara ome huozmantegahue huno Ahapu'a antahigegeno, Mikaia'a huno, Vunka hara ome huzmanto. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana maka vahera kazampi zamavarentegahie.
Uthe efika, inkosi yambuza yathi, “Mikhaya, siye empini eRamothi Giliyadi, loba ngizithibe na?” Yena waphendula wathi: “Hlasela unqobe, ngoba bazanikelwa ezandleni zakho.”
15 Hianagi kini ne' Ahapu'a Mikaiana asmino, Nama'a zupa Ra Anumzamofo agifina tamage hunka huvempa hunka nasamio nehugenka, kagra havige kasnampa kea nehane?
Inkosi yathi kuye, “Kumele ngikufungise kangaki ukuze ungangikhohlisi kodwa ungitshele iqiniso ebizweni likaThixo?”
16 Huno higeno Mikaia'a anage hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mo'za kvazmimo omani sipisipimozama nehaza hu'za agonaramimpina panini hu'za vu'za eza nehazage'na ke'noe. Ana nehazageno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Kvazmia omani'neanki, zamatrege'za nozmirega zamarimpa frune vu'za e'za hiho hu'ne.
Ngakho uMikhaya waphendula wathi, “Ngabona abako-Israyeli bonke behlakazekile emaqaqeni njengezimvu ezingelamelusi, uThixo wathi, ‘Lababantu kabalamkhokheli. Kabazibuyelele emakhaya ngokuthula.’”
17 Anagema higeno'a Israeli kini ne'mo'a, Jehosafatina asmino, ko'ma kasmi'na ama ne'mo'a knare kasanampa kea osugahianki, nagri'ma nazeri havizahu kasnampa kege hugahie hu'na kasami'noe.
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafathi, “Kangikutshelanga yini ukuthi uvele kaphrofethi lutho oluhle ngami kodwa okubi kuphela na?”
18 Hagi anagema nehakeno'a Mikaia'a huno, Ra Anumzamofonkea antahio, Ra Anumzamo'a kini tra'are monafina mani'negeno, maka monafinka ankero vahe'mo'za Anumzamofona tamaga kazigane, hoga kaziganena mani'nazage'na ke'noe.
UMikhaya waqhubeka wathi, “Ngakho zwanini ilizwi likaThixo: Ngabona uThixo ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi lebutho lonke lasezulwini limi ngakwesokudla langakwesokhohlo.
19 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Iza Israeli kini ne' Ahapuna ome revatga hanigeno Ramot-Gileatia marerinige'za ahegahaze? Anage higeno magoke magokemo'a agra'a antahintahi'a huama hutere hu'ne.
Njalo uThixo wathi, ‘Ngubani ozakhohlisa u-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli ukuba ahlasele eRamothi Giliyadi njalo ayofela khona na?’ Omunye wabonisa lokhu, omunye laye lokhuyana.
20 Anage hazageno, mago avamu'mo'a Ra Anumzamofo avuga eotino amanage hu'ne, Nagra ome revatga hugahue higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a huno inankna hunka ome revatga hugahane? huno antahigegeno,

Wona wathi: ‘Ngizahamba ngiyekuba ngumoya wokuqamba amanga emilonyeni yabo bonke abaphrofethi bakhe.’ UThixo wathi: ‘Uzaphumelela ukumhuga. Hamba-ke uyekwenza lokho.’
22 E'ina hu'negu menina antahio, Ra Anumzamo'a havigema hu vahe'ma revatga hu avamu maka kasnampa vaheka'aramimofo zamagipina ante'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kagrikura hazenke erigahane huno hunte'ne.
Ngakho khathesi uThixo usefake umoya wenkohliso emilonyeni yabaphrofethi bakho bonke laba. UThixo usekumisele ukubhujiswa.”
23 Anage'ma higeno'a, Kenana ne'mofo Zedekaia'a eno Mikaiana ameragente eme rupro hunemino amanage hu'ne, Inankna huno Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a nagrira natreno kagritega vuno nanekea ome kasami'ne?
Ngakho uZedekhiya indodana kaKhenana waphakama wayawakala uMikhaya ngempama ebusweni, watsho embuza wathi, “Umoya kaThixo wasuka njani kimi ukuyakhuluma kuwe na?”
24 Higeno Mikaia'a kenona huno, Antahio, henkama ha' vahe'mo'zama ha'ma eme hurante'nagenka nomofo agu'afi hunaragintepinka ome frakinka umani'nenka, tamage hu'ne hunka antahigahane.
UMikhaya waphendula wathi, “Wena ngokwakho uzakubona lokho mhla ubalekela endlini engaphakathi usiyacatsha.”
25 Anagema higeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a huno, Mikaiana avreta rankumama kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Amoninte'ene nenamofo Joasainte vuta,
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi, “Bambani uMikhaya, limbuyisele ku-Amoni umbusi wedolobho lakuJowashi indodana yenkosi
26 kini ne'mo'a amanage hie huta ome hiho, Ama nera kinafi avrenteneta mago zana omita bretine tinke'za aminkeno neneno mani'nena, hara ome hute'na ete a'neno huno hie huta ome asamiho.
lithi: ‘Nanku okutshiwo yinkosi, ithi: Valelani umuntu lo entolongweni, lingamniki lutho ngaphandle kwesinkwa lamanzi ngize ngiphenduke kukuhle.’”
27 Anante Mikaia'a amanage hu'ne, Hapinti'ma onkahesagenkama kagrama knare hunka esanke'na Ra Anumzamo'a nagripina huvazino kasnampa kea osu'ne hu'na hugahue. Hagi ama nanekea maka vahe'mota antahio!
UMikhaya waqonqosela wathi: “Nxa ungaphenduka kuhle, uThixo uyabe engakhulumanga ngami.” Waqhubeka wathi, “Lani lonke bantu abambisiseni amazwi ami!”
28 Higeno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'ene Juda vahe kini ne' Jehosafatikea sondia vahe'zania zamavareke Ramot-Gileati mareri'na'e.
Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli loJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda baya eRamothi Giliyadi.
29 Hagi Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a amanage huno Jehosafatinkura hu'ne, Nagra amne vahe kna hu'na ha' kukena hu'na hapi ufregahue. Hanki kagra kini vahe kukena hunka vuo, huno nesmino agra amne kukena huno hapina ufre'ne.
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafathi: “Mina ngizakuya empini ngizazifihla ngokulahlisa isimo sami, kodwa wena gqoka ezakho ezobukhosi.” Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli yazifihla ngokulahlisa isimo sayo yangena empini.
30 Hagi Siria vahe kini ne'mo'a, karisifi maniza ha'ma nehaza sondia vahete kva vahetminkura huno, Ruga'a vahe'enena hara osuta, Israeli kini ne'ke'za hara hunteho.
Ngakho inkosi yase-Aramu yayiqonqosele abalawuli bezinqola zokulwa yathi, “Lingalwi lamuntu, loba ngomncinyane loba ngomkhulu, ngaphandle kwenkosi yako-Israyeli.”
31 Anage'ma hige'za nevu'za Jehosafatima ome nege'za Israeli vahe kini nere hu'za nehu'za rukrahe hu'za avariri'naze. Hianagi Jehosafati'a kezatino, Ra Anumzamoka naza huo higeno, Anumzamo'a aza huno zamazeri rukrahe hige'za atre'za rurega vu'naze.
Abalawuli bezinqola zokulwa bathi bebona uJehoshafathi bathi, “Yiyonale inkosi yako-Israyeli.” Ngakho bamphendukela ukuba bamhlasele, kodwa uJehoshafathi wahlaba umkhosi, uThixo wamsiza. UNkulunkulu wabenza baya khatshana laye,
32 Hagi karisifima mani'za e'naza sondia vahe'mo'zama kazama Israeli kini nerompage ru ne'ma nege'za, avarari'zama nevazaretira ome atre'za rukrahe hu'za e'naze.
ngoba abalawuli bezinqola zokulwa bathi sebebonile ukuthi kasiyo inkosi yako-Israyeli, abazange besaxotshana laye.
33 Hianagi mago sondia ne'mo'a fatufatu huno kevea ahetreno nevuno, mago kevema ahetreana nozame ahehe kna ha kukenamofo kankmumpinti aheraponeno Israeli vahe kini nera amimizafi ahe'ne. Ana higeno kini ne'mo'a karisima erino'ma nevia nekura huno, hago ra hazenke eruanki hapintira ete rukrahe hunka navrenka vuo.
Kodwa omunye watshoka kungananzelelwe umtshoko waphutsha emkhandlwini wesikhali wagwaza inkosi yako-Israyeli. Inkosi yatshela umtshayeli wenqola yokulwa yathi, “Phendula inqola yakho ungisuse lapha, sengilimele.”
34 Ana knazupa hara hu'za nevazageno, Israeli kini nera karisifi amagena rentinti huntazageno Siria vahe'ma mani'nazarega avugosa hunte'neno mani'negeno vuno kinaga omesegeno fri'ne.
Impi yalwiwa ilanga lonke, njalo inkosi yako-Israyeli yeyama enqoleni yayo yokulwa ikhangele ama-Aramu kwaze kwaba ntambama. Kuthe litshona layo yabe isifa.
