1 Bassekabaka 22
1 Ne wataba ntalo wakati wa Busuuli ne Isirayiri okumala emyaka esatu.
Ɔko biara ansi Aram ne Israel ntam mfeɛ mmiɛnsa.
2 Naye mu mwaka ogwokusatu Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda n’aserengeta okugenda okukyalira kabaka wa Isirayiri.
Na mfeɛ mmiɛnsa no mu, ɔhene Yehosafat a ɔdi adeɛ 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 mpanimfoɔ sɛ, “Moahunu sɛ Aramfoɔ da so te yɛn kuro Ramot Gilead mu? 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 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 Naye Yekosafaati n’ayongerako nti, “Sooka weebuuze ku Mukama.”
Na Yehosafat ka kaa ho sɛ, “Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ma yɛmmisa Awurade hɔ afotuo.”
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 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 Naye Yekosafaati n’abuuza nti, “Wano tewaliwo nnabbi wa Mukama gwe tuyinza kwebuuzaako?”
Nanso, Yehosafat bisaa sɛ, “Enti, Awurade odiyifoɔ biara nso nni ha? Anka mepɛ sɛ mebisa no saa asɛm korɔ 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 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 Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alagira omu ku baami be nti, “Yanguwa mangu okuleeta Mikaaya mutabani wa Imula.”
Enti, Israelhene frɛɛ ne mpanimfoɔ no mu baako, ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “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 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 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.’”
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 Bannabbi abalala bonna nabo baalagula kye kimu, nga boogera nti, “Yambuka olumbe Lamosugireyaadi obe muwanguzi kubanga Mukama ajja kukigabula mu mukono gwa kabaka.”
Adiyifoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa penee so, kaa sɛ, “Aane, monkɔ Ramot-Gilead, na monkɔdi nkonim, ɛfiri sɛ, 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 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 Naye Mikaaya n’ayogera nti, “Nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, nzija kwogera ekyo kyokka Mukama ky’anaŋŋamba.”
Nanso, Mikaia kaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te aseɛ yi, deɛ Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no 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.”
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 Kabaka n’amubuuza nti, “Nnaakulayiza emirundi emeka okutegeeza amazima mu linnya lya Mukama?”
Nanso, ɔhene no sɔɔ so sɛ, “Mpɛn ahe na menka sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a wobɛkasa ama Awurade no, ɛsɛ sɛ woka nokorɛ?”
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 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 Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’agamba Yekosafaati nti, “Saakugambye nti, talina kirungi ky’andagulako wabula ekibi?”
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 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 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 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 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 Ku nkomerero ne wavaayo omwoyo ne guyimirira mu maaso ga Mukama ne gwogera nti, ‘Nze nnaamusendasenda.’
kɔsii sɛ ne korakora no, honhom bi kɔɔ Awurade nkyɛn kɔkaa sɛ, “Mɛtumi 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 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 “Kale nno, Mukama atadde omwoyo omulimba mu mimwa gya buli nnabbi wo era Mukama amaliridde okukusaanyaawo.”
“Enti afei, Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifoɔ anomu. Na Awurade adwene ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ ama wo.”
24 Awo Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kenaana n’asembera n’akuba Mikaaya oluyi ku ttama, n’ayogera nti, “Omwoyo wa Mukama yampiseeko atya okwogera 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 Awo Mikaaya n’addamu nti, “Laba, ekyo onokimanya ku lunaku lw’oligenda okwekweka mu kisenge eky’omunda.”
Na Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Ɛrenkyɛre biara, wobɛhunu nokorɛ no wɔ ɛberɛ a wobɛdwane akɔtɛ kɔkoam 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 hyɛɛ sɛ, “Monkyere Mikaia, na momfa no nkɔma Amon a ɔyɛ kuro 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 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 Mikaaya n’alangirira nti, “Bw’olikomawo emirembe, Mukama nga tayogeredde mu nze.” Era n’ayongerako nti, “Mugenderere ebigambo byange, mmwe abantu mwenna.”
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 Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda ne bambuka e Lamosugireyaadi.
Na Israelhene ne Yudahene Yehosafat dii wɔn akodɔm anim, kɔto 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 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 Kabaka w’e Busuuli yali alagidde abaduumizi b’amagaali nti, “Temulwanagana na muntu yenna, kabe mutono oba mukulu, wabula kabaka wa Isirayiri yekka.”
Saa ɛberɛ no, na Aramhene ahyɛ ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ aduasa mmienu no sɛ, “Monto 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, 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,
33 abaduumizi b’amagaali ne bategeera nti si ye kabaka wa Isirayiri ne balekeraawo okumugoba.
nteaseɛnamkafoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔno ne Israelhene no enti, wɔgyaa nʼakyidie.
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 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 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 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 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!”
Onwunu reyɛ adwo no, wɔteateaam faa akodɔm no nyinaa mu sɛ: “Ɔko no aba awieeɛ. Monsane nkɔ efie!”
37 Awo kabaka n’afa n’aleetebwa e Samaliya, era n’aziikibwa eyo.
Na ɔhene no wuiɛ no, wɔde nʼamu no kɔɔ Samaria, kɔsiee 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 adwamanfoɔ dware hɔ, na nkraman bɛtaferee ɔhene no mogya no, sɛdeɛ 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 ahennie ho ne asonse ahemfie ho asɛm ne nkuro a ɔkyekyeree nyinaa no, wɔatwerɛ agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
40 Awo Akabu ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe, Akaziya mutabani we n’amusikira.
Ɛberɛ a Ahab wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagyanom mu. Na ne babarima Ahasia dii nʼadeɛ 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 bɛdii Yuda so ɛberɛ a na Ahab adi adeɛ wɔ Israel ne mfeɛ ɛnan 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.
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 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 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.
44 Yekosafaati n’atabagana ne kabaka wa Isirayiri.
Yehosafat ne Israelhene tenaa ase asomdwoeɛ 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 ahennie ho nkaeɛ no, faako a ne tumi kɔduruiɛ ne ako a ɔdiiɛ no nyinaa, wɔatwerɛ agu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nwoma no mu.
46 N’aggyirawo ddala abaalyanga ebisiyaga abaali basigaddewo mu nsi, oluvannyuma lw’omulembe gwa kitaawe Asa.
Ɔpamoo abosomfie so adwamanfoɔ a na wɔgu so bɔ adwaman, firi nʼagya Asa berɛ so no nyinaa.
47 Awo mu biro ebyo ne wataba kabaka mu Edomu, omusigire wa kabaka n’afuga.
Saa ɛberɛ no, na ɔhene nni Edom gye kuro no sohwɛfoɔ nko.
48 Yekosafaati yali azimbye ekibinja eky’ebyombo okugenda e Ofiri okukimangayo zaabu, naye ne bitasobola, kubanga byonna byabbira e Eziyonigeba.
Yehosafat yɛɛ adwadihyɛn bebree sɛ ɛnkɔ Ofir nkɔpɛ 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 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 Awo Yekosafaati ne yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe era n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi jjajjaawe, Yekolaamu mutabani we n’amusikira.
Yehosafat wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Yehoram na ɔdii nʼadeɛ 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 hyɛɛ aseɛ dii Israel so ɛberɛ a na Yehosafat adi adeɛ mfeɛ dunson wɔ Yuda. Ɔdii adeɛ Samaria mfeɛ mmienu.
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 maame ne Nebat babarima Yeroboam anammɔn so, somm 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.
Ɔsomm Baal, sɔree no, nam so fuu Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, bo sɛdeɛ nʼagya yɛeɛ no.
