1 Bassekabaka 22
1 Ne wataba ntalo wakati wa Busuuli ne Isirayiri okumala emyaka esatu.
Ɔko biara ansi Aram ne Israel ntam mfe abiɛsa.
2 Naye mu mwaka ogwokusatu Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda n’aserengeta okugenda okukyalira kabaka wa Isirayiri.
Na mfe abiɛsa no mu, ɔhene Yehosafat a odi ade wɔ Yuda kɔɔ Israelhene Ahab nkyɛn.
3 Kabaka wa Isirayiri yali agambye abaami be nti, “Mumanyi nti Lamosugireyaadi kyaffe, naye ate nga tetulina kye tukola wo okukiggya ku kabaka wa Busuuli?”
Na Ahab abisa ne mpanyimfo se, “Moahu sɛ Aramfo da so te yɛn kurow Ramot Gilead mu ana? Nanso yɛnyɛɛ ho hwee!”
4 Mu kiseera ekyo n’abuuza Yekosafaati nti, “Onoogenda nange mu lutalo e Lamosugireyaadi?” Yekosafaati n’addamu kabaka wa Isirayiri nti, “Nze ndi nga bw’oli abantu bange ng’abantu bo, n’embalaasi zange ng’ezizo.”
Enti obisaa Yehosafat se, “Wobɛka me ho na yɛako atia Ramot Gilead ana?” Na Yehosafat buaa ɔhene Ahab se, “Adɛn? Ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛda ne kwan mu. Wo ne me yɛ anuanom, na mʼakofo yɛ wo de sɛ wobɛka asɛm a wopɛ akyerɛ wɔn. Mpo, mʼapɔnkɔ da wo da.”
5 Naye Yekosafaati n’ayongerako nti, “Sooka weebuuze ku Mukama.”
Na Yehosafat ka kaa ho se, “Nea edi kan no, ma yemmisa Awurade hɔ afotu.”
6 Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’akuŋŋaanya bannabbi awamu nga bawera ng’ebikumi bina, n’ababuuza nti, “Ŋŋende ntabaale e Lamosugireyaadi oba ndekeyo?” Ne baddamu nti, “Genda kubanga Mukama alikigabula mu mukono gwa kabaka.”
Enti ɔhene Ahab frɛɛ nʼadiyifo a wɔn dodow bɛyɛ ahannan no nyinaa, bisaa wɔn se, “Menkɔko ntia Ramot Gilead anaa mennkɔ?” Wɔn nyinaa buae se, “Kɔ so! Awurade bɛma woadi nkonim anuonyam so.”
7 Naye Yekosafaati n’abuuza nti, “Wano tewaliwo nnabbi wa Mukama gwe tuyinza kwebuuzaako?”
Nanso Yehosafat bisae se, “Enti Awurade diyifo biara nso nni ha? Anka mepɛ sɛ mibisa no saa asɛm koro no ara.”
8 Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’addamu Yekosafaati nti, “Wakyaliyo omusajja omu gwe tuyinza okwebuuzaako eri Mukama erinnya lye ye Mikaaya mutabani wa Imula naye namukyawa kubanga tewali kirungi ky’alagula ku nze, wabula ebibi.”
Ɔhene Ahab buae se, “Awurade diyifo baako da so wɔ ha, nanso metan no. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ nkɔm bɔne na ɔhyɛ fa me ho. Ne din de Mikaia a ɔyɛ Imla babarima.” Na Yehosafat kae se, “Nkasa saa. Momma yentie asɛm a ɔwɔ ka.”
9 Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alagira omu ku baami be nti, “Yanguwa mangu okuleeta Mikaaya mutabani wa Imula.”
Enti Israelhene frɛɛ ne mpanyimfo no mu baako, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka wo ho kɔfa Imla babarima Mikaia bra.”
10 Awo Kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda nga bambadde ebyambalo byabwe eby’obwakabaka era nga batudde ku ntebe zaabwe ez’obwakabaka mu mulyango ogwa wankaaki w’ekibuga Samaliya, nga ne bannabbi bonna balagulira awo we baali;
Israelhene Ahab ne Yudahene Yehosafat hyɛɛ wɔn ahemfo ntade, tenaa wɔn ahengua mu wɔ apongua a ɛbɛn Samaria kwan no ano. Saa bere no, na Ahab adiyifo no rehyɛ nkɔm wɔ wɔn anim.
11 Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kenaana yali yeekoledde amayembe ag’ebyuma, n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Olisindikiriza Abasuuli ne gano okutuusa lwe balisaanyizibwawo.’”
Na wɔn mu baako a ɔyɛ Kenaana babarima Sedekia de nnade yɛɛ mmɛn, na ɔdaa no adi se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Mode saa mmɛn yi bɛwowɔ Aramfo yi ama wɔawuwu!”
12 Bannabbi abalala bonna nabo baalagula kye kimu, nga boogera nti, “Yambuka olumbe Lamosugireyaadi obe muwanguzi kubanga Mukama ajja kukigabula mu mukono gwa kabaka.”
Adiyifo a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa penee so kae se, “Yiw, monkɔ Ramot-Gilead, na munkodi nkonim, efisɛ Awurade bɛma moadi nkonim.”
13 Omubaka eyatumibwa okuleeta Mikaaya n’amugamba nti, “Laba ebigambo bya bannabbi abalala biragula buwanguzi eri kabaka, kale ekigambo kyo nakyo kikkiriziganye nabyo, oyogere bulungi.”
Na ɔbɔfo a ɔkɔfaa Mikaia no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Tie, adiyifo no nyinaa hyɛ nkonimdi ho nkɔm ma ɔhene. Hwɛ sɛ wo ne wɔn adwene bɛyɛ baako, na wo nso, wobɛhyɛ nkonimdi ho nkɔm.”
14 Naye Mikaaya n’ayogera nti, “Nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, nzija kwogera ekyo kyokka Mukama ky’anaŋŋamba.”
Nanso Mikaia buae se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, nea Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no, ɛno na mɛka.”
15 Bwe yatuuka awali kabaka, kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Mikaaya tulumbe Lamosugireyaadi, nantiki tulekeyo?” N’amuddamu nti, “Kirumbe obe muwanguzi kubanga Mukama anakigabula mu mukono gwa kabaka.”
Bere a Mikaia beduu ahemfi no, Ahab bisaa no se, “Mikaia, yɛnkɔko ntia Ramot-Gilead anaa yɛnnkɔ?” Na Mikaia buae se, “Monkɔ! Na Awurade bɛma ɔhene adi nkonim anuonyam so.”
16 Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Nnaakulayiza emirundi emeka okutegeeza amazima mu linnya lya Mukama?”
Ɔhene amma nʼano ansi, na obuaa no se, “Mpɛn ahe na menka nkyerɛ wo se, sɛ worekasa ama Awurade a, ka nokwasɛm?”
17 Nnabbi n’addamu nti, “Nalaba Isirayiri yenna ng’esaasaanye ku nsozi, ng’endiga ezitalina musumba.” Mukama n’ayogera nti, “Bano tebalina mukama waabwe, era buli omu ku bbo addeyo ewuwe mirembe.”
Na Mikaia ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Anisoadehu mu, mihuu sɛ Israel abɔ apete mmepɔw no so, te sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo. Na Awurade kae se, ‘Wɔakum wɔn wura. Ma wɔnkɔ fie asomdwoe mu.’”
18 Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’agamba Yekosafaati nti, “Saakugambye nti, talina kirungi ky’andagulako wabula ekibi?”
Israelhene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Manka saa ankyerɛ wo ana? Da biara saa na ɔyɛ. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ atoro nkɔm na ɔhyɛ fa me ho.”
19 Mikaaya n’ayogera nti, “Noolwekyo wulira ekigambo kya Mukama nti: Nalaba Mukama ng’atudde ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka nga n’eggye lyonna ery’omu ggulu liyimiridde ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo ne mukono gwe ogwa kkono.
Mikaia toaa so se, “Tie nea Awurade ka. Mihuu Awurade sɛ ɔte nʼahengua so a ne ɔsorofo asraafo nyinaa atwa ne ho ahyia wɔ ne nifa ne ne benkum so.”
20 Mukama n’ayogera nti, ‘Ani anaasendasenda Akabu ayambuke okulumba Lamosugireyaadi afiire eyo?’ Omu ku bo n’addamu bulala, n’omulala n’addamu bulala.
Na Awurade bisae se, “Hena na obetumi adaadaa Ahab, ama wakɔ ɔko atia Ramot Gilead, a ebetumi aba sɛ wobekum no wɔ hɔ?” Wosusuw nsɛm ahorow bebree ho wɔ hɔ,
21 Ku nkomerero ne wavaayo omwoyo ne guyimirira mu maaso ga Mukama ne gwogera nti, ‘Nze nnaamusendasenda.’
kosii sɛ ne koraa no, honhom bi bɛnee Awurade kae se, “Metumi ayɛ!”
22 “Mukama n’abuuza nti, ‘Mu ngeri ki?’ Omwoyo ne guddamu nti, ‘Nzija kugenda nfuuke omwoyo ogw’obulimba mu mimwa gya bannabbi be bonna.’ Mukama n’addamu nti, ‘Ojja kusobola okumusendasenda, genda okole bw’otyo.’
Awurade bisae se, “Ɔkwan bɛn so na wobɛfa ayɛ eyi?” Na honhom no buae se, “Mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Ahab adiyifo, ama wɔadi atoro.” Awurade kae se, “Kɔ so yɛ, na wubedi nkonim.
23 “Kale nno, Mukama atadde omwoyo omulimba mu mimwa gya buli nnabbi wo era Mukama amaliridde okukusaanyaawo.”
“Enti woahu sɛ Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifo no anom. Awurade adwene sɛ ɔde amanehunu bɛba wo so.”
24 Awo Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kenaana n’asembera n’akuba Mikaaya oluyi ku ttama, n’ayogera nti, “Omwoyo wa Mukama yampiseeko atya okwogera nawe?”
Afei Kenaana babarima Sedekia kɔɔ Mikaia so, kɔbɔɔ nʼani so. Obisaa no se, “Da bɛn na Awurade honhom fii me mu bɛkasa kyerɛɛ wo?”
25 Awo Mikaaya n’addamu nti, “Laba, ekyo onokimanya ku lunaku lw’oligenda okwekweka mu kisenge eky’omunda.”
Na Mikaia buae se, “Ɛrenkyɛ biara, wubehu nokware no, bere a wubeguan akɔtetɛw kokoa mu dan bi mu.”
26 Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alagira nti, “Mukwate Mikaaya, mumuzzeeyo ewa Amoni omukulu w’ekibuga, n’eri Yowaasi mutabani wa kabaka,
Israelhene Ahab hyɛe se, “Monkyere Mikaia, na momfa no nkɔma Amon a ɔyɛ kurow no mu amrado, na momfa no nkɔ me babarima Yoas nkyɛn.
27 era mwogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera kabaka nti: muteeke omuntu ono mu kkomera, ate temumuwa ekintu kyonna okuggyako omugaati n’amazzi okutuusa lwe ndikomawo emirembe.’”
Monka saa asɛm a efi ɔhene nkyɛn yi nkyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Fa saa ɔbarima yi to afiase. Mommma no aduan biara sɛ brodo ne nsu, kosi sɛ mefi akono bɛba asomdwoe mu.’”
28 Mikaaya n’alangirira nti, “Bw’olikomawo emirembe, Mukama nga tayogeredde mu nze.” Era n’ayongerako nti, “Mugenderere ebigambo byange, mmwe abantu mwenna.”
Nanso Mikaia buae se, “Sɛ wosan ba asomdwoe mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Awurade amfa me so ankasa.” Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wogyinagyina hɔ, atwa ne ho ahyia no se, “Saa asɛm a maka yi, monhyɛ no nsow.”
29 Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda ne bambuka e Lamosugireyaadi.
Na Israelhene ne Yudahene Yehosafat dii wɔn asraafo anim, kɔtow hyɛɛ Ramot-Gilead so.
30 Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’agamba Yekosafaati nti, “Nzija kugenda mu lutalo nga nneefudde omuntu omulala, naye ggwe oyambale ebyambalo eby’obwakabaka.” Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri ne yeefuula omuntu omulala n’agenda mu lutalo.
Afei, ɔhene Ahab ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Yɛrekɔ ɔko yi, mɛsakra me ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara renhu me. Nanso, wo de, hyɛ wʼahentade.” Enti Ahab sakraa ne ho, na wɔkɔɔ ɔko no.
31 Kabaka w’e Busuuli yali alagidde abaduumizi b’amagaali nti, “Temulwanagana na muntu yenna, kabe mutono oba mukulu, wabula kabaka wa Isirayiri yekka.”
Saa bere no, na Aramhene aka akyerɛ ne nteaseɛnamkafo aduasa abien no sɛ, “Monkɔtow nhyɛ Israelhene nko ara so!”
32 Awo abaduumizi b’amagaali bwe baalaba Yekosafaati, ne balowooza nti, “Ddala ono ye kabaka wa Isirayiri.” Ne batanula okumulumba, naye Yekosafaati n’aleekaanira waggulu,
Enti bere a Aramhene nteaseɛnamkafo no huu Yehosafat sɛ ɔhyɛ nʼahentade no, wɔtaa no. Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Israelhene no ne no.” Nanso, bere a Yehosafat teɛɛ mu no,
33 abaduumizi b’amagaali ne bategeera nti si ye kabaka wa Isirayiri ne balekeraawo okumugoba.
nteaseɛnamkafo no huu sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔno ne Israelhene no nti, wogyaw nʼakyidi.
34 Awo omuntu omu n’amala galasa akasaale ke, ne kakwata kabaka wa Isirayiri ebyambalo bye eby’ebyuma we bigattira, n’agamba omugoba w’eggaali lye nti, “Kyusa eggaali onzigye mu lutalo, kubanga nfumitiddwa.”
Aram sraani bi de anibiannaso tow agyan kyerɛɛ Israel asraafo no so, maa ɛkɔwɔɔ Israelhene wɔ ne nkatabo ahyiae so. Ahab teɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ ne teaseɛnamkafo no se, “Fa me fi ha ntɛm, na wɔapira me pa ara.”
35 Olutalo ne lweyongerera ddala nnyo ku lunaku olwo, era kabaka ne bamukwatirira mu gaali lye nga litunuulaganye n’Abasuuli. Omusaayi okuva mu kiwundu kye ne gukulukuta nnyo mu gaali, n’oluvannyuma n’afa.
Ɔko no kɔɔ so saa ara da mu no nyinaa, na wɔde Ahab twerii biribi wɔ ne teaseɛnam mu a nʼani kyerɛ Aramfo no. Mogya tuu no fi nʼapirakuru no mu, guu teaseɛnam no mu, na onwini dwoe no, owui.
36 Enjuba bwe yali ng’eneetera okugwa, ne waba ekirango ekyabuna mu ggye nti, “Buli muntu adde mu kibuga ky’ewaabwe, era buli muntu adde mu nsi y’ewaabwe!”
Onwini reyɛ adwo no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu faa asraafo no nyinaa mu se: “Ɔko no aba awiei. Monsan nkɔ fie!”
37 Awo kabaka n’afa n’aleetebwa e Samaliya, era n’aziikibwa eyo.
Na ɔhene no wui no, wɔde nʼamu no kɔɔ Samaria, kosiee no wɔ hɔ.
38 Ne booleza eggaali lye awaali ekidiba kya Samaliya, bamalaaya we baanaabiranga, embwa ne zikomba omusaayi gwe, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyayogerwa.
Na wɔhoroo ne teaseɛnam no ho wɔ asubura bi a ɛwɔ Samaria a nguamanfo guare hɔ, na akraman bɛtaforoo ɔhene no mogya no, sɛnea Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
39 Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omulembe gwa Akabu, n’ebyo bye yakola, n’olubiri lwe yazimba n’alulongoosa n’amasanga, n’ebibuga bye yazimbako bbugwe, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Isirayiri?
Nsɛm a ɛfa Ahab ahenni ho ne asonse ahemfi ho asɛm ne nkurow a ɔkyekyeree nyinaa no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu.
40 Awo Akabu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, Akaziya mutabani we n’amusikira.
Bere a Ahab wui no, wosiee no wɔ nʼagyanom mu. Na ne babarima Ahasia dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
41 Awo Yekosafaati mutabani wa Asa n’atandika okufuga mu Yuda mu mwaka ogw’amakumi ana ogwa Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri.
Asa babarima Yehosafat bedii Yuda so bere a na Ahab adi ade wɔ Israel ne mfe anan so no.
42 Yekosafaati yalina emyaka egy’obukulu amakumi asatu mu etaano we yatandikira okufuga, era n’afugira mu Yerusaalemi okumala emyaka amakumi abiri mu etaano. Nnyina erinnya lye ye yali Azuba muwala wa Siruki.
Odii ade no, na wadi mfe aduasa anum, na odii ade Yerusalem mfirihyia aduonu anum. Na ne na din de Asuba a ɔyɛ Silhi babea.
43 N’atambulira mu ngeri za kitaawe Asa era n’atazivaamu, ng’akola ebirungi mu maaso ga Mukama, newaakubadde nga teyaggyawo bifo bigulumivu, abantu ne beeyongeranga okuweerayo ssaddaaka n’okwokya obubaane.
Na Yehosafat yɛ ɔhene papa a odii nʼagya Asa anammɔn akyi. Ɔyɛɛ ade a ɛsɔ Awurade ani. Nanso, nʼahenni mu no, wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔre, kɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ hɔ no.
44 Yekosafaati n’atabagana ne kabaka wa Isirayiri.
Yehosafat ne Israelhene tenaa ase asomdwoe mu.
45 Ebyafaayo ebirala eby’omulembe gwa Yekosafaati, ebintu bye yakola, n’amaanyi ge mu ntalo, tebyawandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyomumirembe gya bassekabaka ba Yuda?
Nsɛm a ɛfa Yehosafat ahenni ho nkae no, faako a ne tumi kodui ne ako a odii no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu.
46 N’aggyirawo ddala abaalyanga ebisiyaga abaali basigaddewo mu nsi, oluvannyuma lw’omulembe gwa kitaawe Asa.
Ɔpam abosomfi so nguamanfo a na wogu so bɔ aguaman fii nʼagya Asa bere so no nyinaa.
47 Awo mu biro ebyo ne wataba kabaka mu Edomu, omusigire wa kabaka n’afuga.
Saa bere no, na ɔhene nni Edom gye kurow no sohwɛfo nko.
48 Yekosafaati yali azimbye ekibinja eky’ebyombo okugenda e Ofiri okukimangayo zaabu, naye ne bitasobola, kubanga byonna byabbira e Eziyonigeba.
Yehosafat yɛɛ aguadihyɛn bebree sɛ ɛnkɔ Ofir nkɔhwehwɛ sikakɔkɔɔ. Nanso ahyɛn no antumi anyɛ adwuma. Ɛsɛee wɔ Esion-Geber.
49 Mu kiseera ekyo Akaziya mutabani wa Akabu yali agambye Yekosafaati nti, “Abasajja bange ka baseeyeeye n’ababo,” naye Yekosafaati n’atakyagala.
Saa bere no, Ahab babarima Ahasia susuw ho kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Ma me mmarima ne wo mmarima nkɔ po so akwan nsrahwɛ.” Nanso Yehosafat ampene so.
50 Awo Yekosafaati ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi jjajjaawe, Yekolaamu mutabani we n’amusikira.
Yehosafat wui no, wosiee no nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Yehoram na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
51 Awo Akaziya mutabani wa Akabu n’alya obwakabaka kabaka bwa Isirayiri mu Samaliya mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omusanvu ogwa Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda, era n’afuga Isirayiri okumala emyaka ebiri.
Ahab babarima Ahasia fii ase dii Israel so bere a na Yehosafat adi ade mfe dunson wɔ Yuda. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfe abien.
52 N’akola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, ne yeeyisa nga kitaawe bwe yeeyisanga, era nga ne nnyina bwe yakolanga, ate era nga Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, eyaleetera Isirayiri okwonoona bwe yakolanga.
Na ɔfaa nʼagya ne ne na ne Nebat babarima Yeroboam anammɔn so, som ahoni, yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so.
53 Yaweereza era n’asinza Baali, n’asunguwaza Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, mu ngeri zonna nga kitaawe bwe yakola.
Ɔsom Baal, sɔree no, nam so fuw Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, bo sɛnea nʼagya yɛe no.
