1 Njalo uJehoshafathi wayelenotho lodumo ngobunengi; wahlangana ngobuhlobo loAhabi.
Azɔ la, kesinɔnu geɖe ɖo Yehosafat si eye bubu hã nɔ eŋu. Ewɔ ɖeka kple Ahab to via nyɔnuvi ɖeka ɖeɖe me.
2 Ekupheleni kweminyaka wasesehlela kuAhabi eSamariya. UAhabi wamhlabela izimvu lenkabi ngobunengi, labantu ababelaye, wamncenga ukuthi enyukele eRamothi-Gileyadi.
Le ƒe ʋɛe aɖewo megbe la, eyi Samaria be yeakpɔ Fia Ahab ɖa eye Fia Ahab wu alẽ kple nyi geɖewo heɖo kplɔ̃ na Yehosafat kple eƒe amewo. Ahab bia Yehosafat be wòakpe ɖe ye ŋu yewoaho aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋu.
3 UAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli wasesithi kuJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda: Uzahamba lami eRamothi-Gileyadi yini? Wasesithi kuye: Njengami unjalo wena, labantu bami banjengabantu bakho. Sizakuba lawe empini.
Ahab, Israel fia, bia Yuda fia, Yehosafat be, “Àte ŋu akpe ɖe ŋunye míaho aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋua?” Yehosafat ɖo eŋu be, “Mele abe wò ene eye nye dukɔ le abe wò dukɔ ene. Míakpe ɖe ŋutiwò le aʋa la me.”
4 UJehoshafathi wasesithi enkosini yakoIsrayeli: Akubuze lamuhla ilizwi leNkosi.
Gake Yehosafat gblɔ kpe ɖe eŋu na Israel fia bena “Bia gbe Yehowa gbã.”
5 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasibuthanisa abaprofethi, amadoda angamakhulu amane, yathi kubo: Sihambe yini eRamothi-Gileyadi empini kumbe ngiyekele? Basebesithi: Yenyuka, ngoba uNkulunkulu uzayinikela esandleni senkosi.
Ale Israel fia ƒo nyagblɔɖila alafa ene nu ƒu eye wòbia wo be, “Mího aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋu loo alo mínɔ anyi koa?” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Yi, elabena Mawu atsɔe ade fia la ƒe asi me.”
6 Kodwa uJehoshafathi wathi: Kasekho yini lapha umprofethi weNkosi ukuthi sibuze kuye?
Ke Yehosafat bia be, “Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila mele afi sia, si míabia gbee oa?”
7 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuJehoshafathi: Kusekhona indoda eyodwa esingabuza ngayo eNkosini, kodwa mina ngiyamzonda ngoba kaprofethi lutho oluhle ngami, kodwa okubi zonke izinsuku zakhe; lo nguMikhaya indodana kaImla. UJehoshafathi wasesithi: Inkosi ingatsho njalo.
Israel fia ɖo eŋu na Yehosafat be, “Ame ɖeka aɖe gali ame si dzi míato abia gbe Yehowa gake melé fui elabena megblɔa nyanyui aɖeke ɖi tso ŋunye o; nya vɔ̃ ko wògblɔna ɖi tso ŋunye. Eyae nye Mikaya, Imla ƒe viŋutsu.” Yehosafat ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Fia la megagblɔ nya ma o.”
8 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasibiza umthenwa othile yathi: Landa masinyane uMikhaya indodana kaImla.
Ale Israel fia la gblɔ na eŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka be, “Yi kaba nàyɔ Mikaya, Imla ƒe vi la vɛ!”
9 Njalo inkosi yakoIsrayeli loJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda babehlezi ngulowo lalowo esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, begqoke izembatho, behlezi ebaleni engenelweni lesango leSamariya, bonke abaprofethi beprofetha-ke phambi kwabo.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Israel fia kple Yuda fia Yehosafat do woƒe fiawuwo, eye wonɔ fiazikpuiwo dzi le lugbɔƒe le Samariagbo la gbɔ, eye nyagblɔɖilawo katã nɔ nya gblɔm ɖi le woƒe ŋkume.
10 UZedekhiya indodana kaKhenahana wasezenzela impondo zensimbi, wathi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngalezi uzahlaba amaSiriya uze uwaqede.
Nyagblɔɖilawo dometɔ ɖeka, Zedekiya, Kenana ƒe vi, tsɔ ga wɔ lãdzo aɖe eye wògblɔ be, Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Àtsɔ lãdzo sia atutu Siriatɔwo tso afii yi afi mɛ va se ɖe esime woatsrɔ̃.”
11 Labo bonke abaprofethi baprofetha njalo, besithi: Yenyukela eRamothi-Gileyadi uphumelele, ngoba iNkosi izayinikela esandleni senkosi.
Nyagblɔɖila bubuawo katã lɔ̃ ɖe edzi hegblɔ kple gbe ɖeka be, “Ẽ, yi Ramot Gilead eye àkpɔ dzidzedze elabena Yehowa ana nàɖu dzi.”
12 Isithunywa esasiyebiza uMikhaya sakhuluma kuye sisithi: Khangela, amazwi abaprofethi ngamlomo munye mahle enkosini; ngakho ilizwi lakho ake lifanane lelomunye wabo, ukhulume okuhle.
Ame si yi ɖayɔ Mikaya la, gblɔ nya si dzɔ kple nya si nyagblɔɖilawo nɔ gbɔgblɔm be fia la aɖu dzi le aʋa la me la nɛ. Eyi edzi gblɔ na Mikaya be, “Mexɔe se be àƒo nu abe nyagblɔɖila mawo ene eye àkpɔ nyanyui aɖe agblɔ.”
13 Kodwa uMikhaya wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova, ngeqiniso lokho uNkulunkulu wami akutshoyo, lokho ngizakukhuluma.
Ke Mikaya gblɔ be, “Meta Mawu be, nya si Mawu gblɔ la ko magblɔ.”
14 Esefikile enkosini, inkosi yathi kuye: Mikhaya, siye eRamothi-Gileyadi empini kumbe ngiyekele yini? Wasesithi: Yenyukani, liphumelele, ngoba bazanikelwa esandleni senu.
Esi Mikaya va ɖo fia la gbɔ la, fia la biae be, “Mikaya, ɖe míaho aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋu loo alo ɖe míanɔ anyi koa?” Mikaya ɖo eŋu be, “Miyi! Miaɖu dzi bɔbɔe!”
15 Inkosi yasisithi kuye: Ngizakufungisa kuze kube yizikhathi ezingaki ukuze ungakhulumi kimi ngaphandle kweqiniso ebizweni leNkosi?
Fia la biae be, “Zi neni magblɔ na wò be nàgblɔ nu si Yehowa ɖo na wò be nàgblɔ la ko?”
16 Wasesithi: Ngabona uIsrayeli wonke echithekile phezu kwezintaba njengezimvu ezingelamelusi; iNkosi yasisithi: Laba kabalamakhosi, kababuyele ngulowo endlini yakhe ngokuthula.
Mikaya gblɔ nɛ be, “Mekpɔ Israelviwo katã wokaka ɖe togbɛwo dzi abe alẽ siwo si kplɔla aɖeke mele o la ene eye Yehowa gblɔ nam be, ‘Kplɔla mele ame siawo si o; woneyi aƒe me le ŋutifafa me.’”
17 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuJehoshafathi: Kangikutshelanga yini: Kayikuprofetha okuhle ngami kodwa okubi kuphela?
Israel fia la gblɔ na Yehosafat be, “Nyemegblɔe na wò oa? Megblɔa nyanyui aɖeke nam gbeɖe o. Vɔ̃ kokoko wòkpɔna gblɔna ɖaa tso ŋunye.”
18 Wasesithi: Ngakho zwanini ilizwi leNkosi. Ngabona iNkosi ihlezi esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi, lexuku lonke lamazulu limi ngakwesokunene sayo langakwesokhohlo sayo.
Mikaya yi edzi be, “Ɖo to nàse nya bubu si Yehowa gagblɔ nam la ɖa. Mekpɔ Yehowa le eƒe fiazikpui dzi eye dziƒoʋakɔ geɖewo le tsitre ɖe eƒe ɖusi kple mia dzi.
19 INkosi yasisithi: Ngubani ozahuga uAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli ukuze enyuke awe eRamothi-Gileyadi? Omunye wasekhuluma esitsho ngokunjalo, lomunye esitsho ngokunjalo.
Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Ame ka ate ŋu able Ahab, Israel fia, nu be wòaho aʋa ɖe Ramot Gilead ŋu eye wòakpɔ eƒe ku le afi ma?’ “Amewo do susu vovovowo ɖa.
20 Kwasekuphuma umoya, wema phambi kweNkosi wathi: Mina ngizamhuga. INkosi yasisithi kuwo: Ngani?
Mlɔeba la, gbɔgbɔ aɖe do ɖe ŋgɔ, tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume eye wògblɔ be, ‘Mable enu ade eme.’ “Ke Yehowa bia be, ‘Aleke nawɔe?’
21 Wasusithi: Ngizaphuma ngibe ngumoya wamanga emlonyeni wabo bonke abaprofethi bakhe. Yasisithi: Uzamhuga, njalo uzakuba lamandla; phuma wenze njalo.
“Eɖo eŋu be, ‘Mayi abe aʋatsokagbɔgbɔ ene, aɖo nume na eƒe nyagblɔɖilawo katã.’ “Yehowa gblɔ be, ‘Esia anyo eye wòadze edzi hã, yi, nàwɔ alea.’
22 Ngakho-ke, khangela, iNkosi ifake umoya wamanga emlonyeni walababaprofethi bakho, njalo iNkosi ikhulume okubi ngawe.
“Yehowa de aʋatsokagbɔbgɔ nume na nyagblɔɖila siawo katã, ke nyateƒe lae nye be, Aƒetɔ la ɖo dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe ŋuwò.”
23 UZedekhiya indodana kaKhenahana wasesondela, watshaya uMikhaya esihlathini, wathi: UMoya weNkosi wedlula ngandlela bani esuka kimi ukuthi akhulume lawe?
Tete Zedekiya, Kenana ƒe vi, gogo Mikaya eye wòƒo tome nɛ hebiae be, “Ɣe ka ɣie Yehowa ƒe Gbɔgbɔ dzo le gbɔnye eye wòƒo nu na wò?”
24 UMikhaya wasesithi: Khangela, uzabona ngalolosuku mhla uzangena ekamelweni phakathi kwekamelo ukuthi ucatshe.
Mikaya ɖo eŋu be, “Àkpɔ ŋuɖoɖo na wò biabia sia ne èkpɔ be yebe ɖe xɔ emetɔ aɖe me.”
25 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi: Thathani uMikhaya, limbuyisele kuAmoni umbusi womuzi lakuJowashi indodana yenkosi,
Israel fia ɖe gbe be, “Milé Mikaya eye miakplɔe yi na dumegã Amon kple vinye Yoas.
26 lithi: Itsho njalo inkosi: Fakani lo entolongweni, limdlise isinkwa senhlupho lamanzi enhlupho ngize ngibuye ngokuthula.
Migblɔ na wo be, ‘Fia la be miade ŋutsu sia gaxɔ me eye miana abolo kple tsi koe va se ɖe esime magbɔ le ŋutifafa me!’”
27 UMikhaya wasesithi: Uba ubuya lokubuya ngokuthula, iNkosi izabe ingakhulumanga ngami. Wathi: Lalelani, bantu lonke.
Mikaya ɖo eŋu be, “Ne ètrɔ gbɔ le ŋutifafa me la, ekema Yehowa meƒo nu to dzinye o.” Etrɔ ɖe ame siwo le tsitre le afi ma la gbɔ eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mide dzesi nya si megblɔ.”
28 Ngakho inkosi yakoIsrayeli loJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda benyukela eRamothi-Gileyadi.
Ale Israel fia kple Yuda fia kplɔ woƒe aʋakɔwo yi Ramot Gilead.
29 Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuJehoshafathi: Ngizazifihla isimo, ngingene empini, kodwa wena gqoka izembatho zakho. Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasizifihla isimo, basebengena empini.

30 Inkosi yeSiriya yayilayile-ke izinduna zenqola eyayilazo isithi: Lingalwi lomncane loba omkhulu, kodwa lenkosi yakoIsrayeli kuphela.
Aram fia de se na eƒe tasiaɖamdzikpɔlawo be, “Miɖe asi le ame sia ame ŋu eye miati Israel fia ɖeɖe ko yome!”
31 Kwasekusithi induna zezinqola zibona uJehoshafathi zona zathi: Yena uyinkosi yakoIsrayeli. Ngakho zamhanqela ukulwa. Kodwa uJehoshafathi wahlaba umkhosi; iNkosi yasimsiza. UNkulunkulu wazihuga zasuka kuye.

33 Umuntu othile wasedonsa idandili engananzelele, wahlaba inkosi yakoIsrayeli phakathi kwenhlangano lebhatshi lensimbi; yasisithi kumtshayeli wenqola: Phendula isandla sakho, ungikhuphe ebuthweni, ngoba ngilimele.
Ke Syriatɔwo ƒe aʋawɔla ɖeka da aŋutrɔ ɖe Israelʋakɔ la me ko eye wòŋɔ Israel fia la to dometsotso si le eƒe aʋawu etetɔ kple eƒe akɔtakpoxɔnu dome. Israel fia la gblɔ na eƒe tasiaɖamkula be, “Kplɔm dzoe le afi sia elabena mexɔ abi vevie.”
34 Impi yasikhula mhlalokho; inkosi yayisekelwe enqoleni iqondene lamaSiriya kwaze kwaba ntambama; yafa ngesikhathi sokutshona kwelanga.
