1 Hagi Jehosafati'a tusi feno ne' nemanige'za ra agi nemizageno, agra Ahapu mofa nemofonte ara erinemino, Ahapu'enema tragoteno mani'nia kea huhagerafi'ne.
Basi, Yehoshafati alikuwa na mali nyingi sana na heshima. Naye akafanya urafiki na Ahabu kwa mwanawe kumwoa binti wa Ahabu.
2 Hagi mago'a kafu evutegeno, Jehosafati'a Ahapu ome kenaku Sameria kumate vigeno Ahapu'a rama'a sipisipi afutamine bulimakao afutamine aheno Jehosafatine, agri'enema vaza vahetmina ne'zana krezamente'ne. Ana nehuno Ahapu'a Ramot-Gileati vahe'ma agranema eme tragomate'nageno ha' ome huzmantesigu Jehosafetina masavenke asami'ne.
Baada ya miaka kadhaa akashuka kumtembelea Ahabu huko Samaria. Ahabu akachinja ngʼombe na kondoo wengi kwa ajili yake na watu aliokuwa amefuatana nao. Kisha Ahabu akamshawishi Yehoshafati kukwea pamoja naye ili kuishambulia Ramoth-Gileadi.
3 Israeli kini ne' Ahapu'a Juda kini ne' Jehosafatina antahigeno, Nagri'enena vananketa Ramot-Gileati kumate vahera hara ome huzmantegahu'o? higeno kenona huno, Nagrane sondia vahe'nimozanena kagri vahe mani'nonankita, tagra amne kagrira ome kaza huta hara hugahune hu'ne.
Ahabu mfalme wa Israeli akamuuliza Yehoshafati mfalme wa Yuda, “Je, utakwenda pamoja nami kupigana dhidi ya Ramoth-Gileadi?” Yehoshafati akamjibu mfalme wa Israeli, “Mimi ni kama wewe, watu wangu ni kama watu wako, farasi wangu ni kama farasi wako. Tutakuwa pamoja nawe vitani.”
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.
Lakini Yehoshafati pia akamwambia mfalme wa Israeli, “Kwanza tafuta shauri la Bwana.”
5 Anage higeno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a 400'a kasnampa vahetami zamavare atru huteno amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ramot-Gileati vahera hara ome huzmantenumpi, ome huozmante'nune? Anage'ma hige'za zamagra hu'za, Anumzamo'a kini ne'moka kazampi zmavrentegahianki, marerinka ome hara huzmanto hu'za hu'naze.
Kwa hiyo mfalme wa Israeli akawaleta pamoja manabii wanaume wapatao mia nne, akawauliza, “Je, twende vitani dhidi ya Ramoth-Gileadi, au niache?” Wakajibu, “Naam, nenda kwa kuwa Mungu ataiweka Ramoth-Gileadi mkononi mwa mfalme.”
6 Hianagi Jehosafati'a mago'ene huno, Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa vahera ama'age mani'nazafi, mago'a mani'nazagu zmantahigegahune huno hu'ne.
Lakini Yehoshafati akauliza, “Je, hayuko nabii wa Bwana hapa ambaye tunaweza kumuuliza?”
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.
Mfalme wa Israeli akamjibu Yehoshafati, “Bado yupo mtu mmoja ambaye kupitia yeye twaweza kumuuliza shauri la Bwana, lakini namchukia kwa sababu huwa hatabiri jambo lolote jema kunihusu mimi, lakini kila mara hunitabiria mabaya tu. Yeye ni Mikaya mwana wa Imla.” Yehoshafati akajibu, “Mfalme hapaswi kusema hivyo.”
8 Anage higeno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a eri'za vahe'a hunteno, Ame hunka Imla ne'mofo Mikaiana ome avrenka eno.
Kwa hiyo mfalme wa Israeli akamwita mmoja wa maafisa wake na kusema, “Mlete Mikaya mwana wa Imla mara moja.”
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.
Wakiwa wamevalia majoho yao ya kifalme, mfalme wa Israeli na Yehoshafati mfalme wa Yuda walikuwa wameketi juu ya viti vyao vya kifalme katika sakafu ya kupuria, kwenye ingilio la lango la Samaria, pamoja na manabii wote wakiwa wakitabiri mbele yao.
10 Hagi Kenana nemofo Zedekai'a ainireti pazivetamina tro huteno amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Siria vahera ama'na pazivetaminteti zamahenka zamaretufenka nevunka, ome zamahe fri vagaregahane hie.
Wakati huu Sedekia mwana wa Kenaana alikuwa ametengeneza pembe za chuma, akatangaza, “Hivi ndivyo Bwana asemavyo, ‘Kwa hizi pembe utawapiga na kuwarudisha Waaramu nyuma mpaka wameangamizwa.’”
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.
Manabii wengine wote walikuwa wanatabiri kitu hicho hicho, wakisema, “Ishambulie Ramoth-Gileadi na uwe mshindi. Kwa kuwa Bwana ataitia mkononi mwa mfalme.”
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.
Mjumbe aliyekuwa amekwenda kumwita Mikaya akamwambia, “Tazama, manabii wote kama mtu mmoja wanatabiri ushindi kwa mfalme. Neno lako na likubaliane na lao, nawe unene mema kuhusu mfalme.”
13 Hianagi Mikaia'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamo'ma nasami'nea kege'za hugahue.
Lakini Mikaya akasema, “Hakika kama Bwana aishivyo, nitamwambia kile tu Bwana atakachoniambia.”
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.
Alipofika, mfalme akamuuliza, “Mikaya, je, twende vitani dhidi ya Ramoth-Gileadi au niache?” Akamjibu, “Shambulia na ushinde, kwa kuwa watatiwa mkononi mwako.”
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?
Mfalme akamwambia, “Je, ni mara ngapi nitakuapisha ili usiniambie kitu chochote ila kweli tu kwa jina la Bwana?”
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.
Ndipo Mikaya akajibu, “Niliona Israeli wote wametawanyika vilimani kama kondoo wasio na mchungaji, naye Bwana akasema, ‘Watu hawa hawana bwana. Mwache kila mmoja aende nyumbani kwa amani.’”
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.
Mfalme wa Israeli akamwambia Yehoshafati, “Sikukuambia kwamba huwa hatabiri jambo lolote jema kunihusu bali mabaya tu?”
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.
Mikaya akaendelea, “Kwa hiyo lisikie neno la Bwana: Nilimwona Bwana ameketi juu ya kiti chake cha enzi pamoja na jeshi lote la mbinguni likiwa limesimama upande wa kulia na wa kushoto.
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.
Naye Bwana akasema, ‘Ni nani atakayemshawishi Ahabu, mfalme wa Israeli, ili aishambulie Ramoth-Gileadi na kukiendea kifo chake huko?’ “Mmoja akapendekeza hili na mwingine lile.
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,
Mwishoni, roho akajitokeza, akasimama mbele za Bwana na kusema, ‘Nitamshawishi.’ “Bwana akauliza, ‘Kwa njia gani?’
21 agra amanage hu'ne, nagra vu'na maka kasnampa vahetmimofo zamagipina havige naneke ome antegahue. Anagema higeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a huno, revatgama hanana kegura tamage hane huno hugahianki, vunka kema hanazana ome huo huno hunte'ne.
“Akasema, ‘Nitakwenda na kuwa roho ya uongo katika vinywa vya manabii wake wote.’ “Bwana akasema, ‘Utafanikiwa katika kumshawishi. Nenda ukafanye hivyo.’
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.
“Kwa hiyo sasa Bwana ameweka roho ya kudanganya ndani ya vinywa vya hawa manabii wako wote. Bwana ameamuru maafa kwa ajili yako.”
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?
Kisha Sedekia mwana wa Kenaana akatoka na kumpiga Mikaya kofi usoni. Akauliza, “Huyo Roho kutoka kwa Bwana alipita njia gani alipotoka kwangu ili kusema nawe?”
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.
Mikaya akajibu, “Utagundua siku hiyo utakapokwenda kujificha kwenye chumba cha ndani.”
25 Anagema higeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a huno, Mikaiana avreta rankumama kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Amoninte'ene nenamofo Joasainte vuta,
Kisha mfalme wa Israeli akaagiza, “Mchukueni na mkamrudishe kwa Amoni mtawala wa mji na kwa Yoashi mwana wa mfalme.
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.
Mkaseme, ‘Hivi ndivyo asemavyo mfalme: Mwekeni mtu huyu gerezani na asipewe chochote ila mkate na maji mpaka nitakaporudi salama.’”
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!
Mikaya akasema, “Kama utarudi salama, basi Bwana hajanena kupitia kwangu.” Kisha akaongeza kusema, “Zingatieni maneno yangu, enyi watu wote!”
28 Higeno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'ene Juda vahe kini ne' Jehosafatikea sondia vahe'zania zamavareke Ramot-Gileati mareri'na'e.
Basi mfalme wa Israeli na Yehoshafati mfalme wa Yuda wakaenda Ramoth-Gileadi.
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.
Mfalme wa Israeli akamwambia Yehoshafati, “Nitaingia vitani nikiwa nimejibadilisha, lakini wewe uvae majoho yako ya kifalme.” Kwa hiyo mfalme wa Israeli akajibadilisha na kwenda vitani.
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.
Wakati huu, mfalme wa Aramu alikuwa amewaagiza majemadari thelathini na wawili wa magari ya vita, “Msipigane na yeyote, mdogo au mkubwa, isipokuwa mfalme wa Israeli.”
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.
Wakati wale majemadari wa magari ya vita walipomwona Yehoshafati, wakafikiri, “Hakika huyu ndiye mfalme wa Israeli.” Kwa hiyo wakageuka ili wamshambulie, lakini Yehoshafati akapiga kelele, naye Bwana akamsaidia. Mungu akawaondoa kwake,
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.
wale majemadari wakaona kwamba hakuwa mfalme wa Israeli nao wakaacha kumfuatilia.
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.
Lakini mtu fulani akavuta upinde pasipo lengo na kumpiga mfalme wa Israeli katikati ya kiungio cha mavazi yake ya chuma, mfalme akamwambia mwendesha gari lake, “Geuza gari na uniondoe mimi katika mapigano, nimejeruhiwa.”
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.
Vita vikaendelea mchana kutwa, naye mfalme wa Israeli akajitegemeza ndani ya gari lake kuwaelekea Waaramu hadi jioni. Basi jioni yake akafa.
