10 Zvino Zedhekia mwanakomana waKenaana akanga agadzira nyanga dzesimbi, uye akataura achiti, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Neidzi muchabaya vaAramu kusvikira vaparara.’”
Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kenaana yali yeeweesereza amayembe ag’ekyuma, n’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Abasuuli balitomerwa na gano okutuusa lwe balimalibwawo.’”
11 Vamwe vaprofita vose vachiprofita zvimwe chetezvo, vakati, “Rwisai Ramoti Gireadhi uye mukunde, nokuti Jehovha achariisa mumaoko amambo.”
Era ne bannabbi abalala bonna baalagulanga kye kimu nti, “Yambuka olumbe Lamosugireyaadi onoowangula kubanga Mukama anaakiwaayo mu mukono gwa kabaka.”
12 Nhume yakanga yaenda kundodaidza Mikaya yakati kwaari, “Tarira, somunhu mumwe vamwe vaprofita vari kutaura nezvokubudirira kwamambo. Shoko rako ngariwirirane neravamwe, uye utaure zvakanaka.”

15 Mambo akati kwaari, “Kangani kandinofanira kukuita kuti upike kuti usandiudza zvimwe zvinhu kunze kwechokwadi muzita raJehovha?”
Naye kabaka n’amugamba nti, “Nnaakulayizanga emirundi emeka, obutannimbanga wabula okuntegeezanga amazima mu linnya lya Mukama?”
16 Ipapo Mikaya akapindura akati, “Ndakaona Israeri yose yakapararira mumaoko samakwai asina mufudzi, uye Jehovha akati, ‘Vanhu ava havana tenzi, regai mumwe nomumwe wavo adzokere kumba kwake murugare.’”
Awo Mikaaya n’addamu nti, “Nalaba Isirayiri yenna, nga basaasaanye ku nsozi ng’endiga ezitalina musumba, Mukama n’ayogera nti, ‘Abantu bano tebalina abakulembera, buli omu addeyo ewaabwe mirembe.’”
17 Mambo weIsraeri akati kuna Jehoshafati, “Handina kukuudzai here kuti haamboprofita zvakanaka pamusoro pangu asi zvakaipa chete?”
Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’agamba Yekosafaati nti, “Sakugambye nti talina kirungi ky’andagulako, okuggyako ebibi?”
18 Mikaya akaenderera mberi achiti, “Naizvozvo inzwai shoko raJehovha: Ndakaona Jehovha akagara pachigaro chake nehondo dzose dzokudenga dzakamira kurudyi rwake nokuruboshwe kwake.
Mikaaya n’ayongerako na bino nti, “Noolwekyo muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama: Nalaba Mukama ng’atudde ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka n’eggye lyonna ery’omu ggulu nga liyimiridde okumwetooloola ku mukono gwe ogwa kkono.
19 Uye Jehovha akati, ‘Ndiani angakwezva Ahabhu mambo weIsraeri kuti andorwisa Ramoti Gireadhi kuti aende kurufu rwake ikoko?’ “Mumwe akataura izvi, mumwe izvo.
Awo Mukama n’abuuza nti, ‘Ani anasendasenda Akabu kabaka wa Isirayiri okulumba Lamosugireyaadi n’oluvannyuma afiire eyo?’ “Omu ku bo n’ateesa kino, n’omulala kiri.
20 Pakupedzisira mumwe mweya wakauya, ukamira pamberi paJehovha ukati, ‘Ini ndichandomukwezva.’ “Jehovha akabvunza akati, ‘Nenzira ipi.’
Ku nkomerero, omwoyo ogumu ne gusembera, ne guyimirira mu maaso ga Mukama ne gwogera nti, ‘Nze nzija kumusendasenda.’ “Mukama n’agubuuza nti, ‘Ekyo onookikola otya?’
21 “Akati, ‘Ndichaenda ndonova mweya wenhema mumiromo yavaprofita vake.’ “Jehovha akati, ‘Uchabudirira mukumukwezva. Enda unozviita.’
“Ne guddamu nti, ‘Nzija kugenda, mbeere omwoyo omulimba mu kamwa ka buli nnabbi we.’ “Mukama n’agugamba nti, ‘Ggwe onoosobola okumusendasenda, era genda okole bw’otyo.’
22 “Saka zvino Jehovha aisa mweya wenhema mumiromo yavaprofita venyu ava. Jehovha akatema chirevo chokuparadzwa kwako.”
“Kale nno Mukama atadde omwoyo ogw’obulimba mu kamwa ka bannabbi bo, era Mukama akwogeddeko kabi keereere.”
23 Ipapo Zedhekia mwanakomana waKenaana akakwira akandorova Mikaya kumeso nembama akabvunza akati, “Mweya waJehovha waenda nokupi pawabuda mandiri kuti utaure kwauri?”
Awo Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kenaana n’asembera okumpi ne Mikaaya we yali n’amukuba oluyi mu maaso, n’amubuuza nti, “Omwoyo wa Mukama yampiseeko wa okwogera naawe?”
24 Mikaya akapindura akati, “Uchazozviziva zuva rauchaenda kunohwanda mukamuri yomukati.”
Mikaaya n’amuddamu nti, “Laba, ekyo olikimanya ku lunaku lw’oligenda okwekweka mu kisenge eky’omunda.”
25 Mambo weIsraeri ipapo akarayira akati, “Torai Mikaya mumutumire kuna Amoni mutongi weguta nokuna Joashi mwanakomana wamambo.
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri n’alagira nti, “Mukwate Mikaaya mumuzzeeyo ewa Amoni ew’omukulu w’ekibuga n’ewa Yowaasi omulangira,
26 Muti, ‘Zvanzi namambo: Isai murume uyu mutorongo uye musamupa chimwe chinhu kunze kwechingwa nemvura kusvikira ndadzoka zvakanaka.’”
mwogere nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera kabaka nti, Omuntu ono mumuteeke mu kkomera, temumuwa kintu kyonna wabula omugaati omutono n’amazzi amatono, okutuusa lwe ndikomawo mirembe.’”
27 Mikaya akati, “Kana mukadzoka zvakanaka Jehovha haana kutaura neni.” Akawedzerazve achiti, “Batisisai mashoko angu, imi vanhu vose!”
Awo Mikaaya n’alangirira nti, “Bw’olikomawo mirembe, Mukama nga tayogeredde mu nze,” ate n’ayongerako na kino nti, “Mmwe mwenna, mwekuume ebigambo byange.”
28 Saka mambo weIsraeri naJehoshafati mambo weJudha vakakwira kuRamoti Gireadhi.
Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri ne Yekosafaati kabaka wa Yuda ne bambuka e Lamosugireyaadi.
29 Mambo weIsraeri akati kuna Jehoshafati, “Ini ndichapinda muhondo ndakapfeka nguo dzokuti ndisazivikanwa asi imi pfekai nguo dzenyu dzoumambo.” Saka mambo weIsraeri akazvishandura akapinda muhondo.
Kabaka wa Isirayiri n’agamba Yekosafaati nti, “Nze nzija kugenda mu lutalo nga nneefudde ng’omuntu omulala, naye ggwe yambala ebyambalo byo.” Awo kabaka wa Isirayiri ne yeefuula ng’omuntu omulala, ne bagenda mu lutalo.
30 Zvino mambo weAramu akanga arayira vakuru vengoro achiti, “Musarwisana navamwe vose, vadiki kana vakuru kunze kwamambo weIsraeri.”
Naye kabaka w’e Busuuli yali alagidde abaduumizi ab’amagaali ge nti, “Temulwanagananga na muntu yenna, oba wa kitiibwa oba si wa kitiibwa, okuggyako kabaka wa Isirayiri.”
31 Vakuru vengoro pavakaona Jehoshafati vakafunga kuti ndiye mambo weIsraeri. Saka vakatendeuka kuti vamurwise asi Jehoshafati akachema, Jehovha akamurwira. Mwari akavabvisa kwaari,
Awo abaduumizi ab’amagaali bwe balaba Yekosafaati, ne boogera nti, “Oyo ye kabaka wa Isirayiri.” Ne bakyuka ne bamulumba, naye Yekosafaati n’ayogera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka, Mukama n’amubeera, era Katonda n’abaziyiza, n’okubaggyawo n’abaggyawo.
32 nokuti vakuru vengoro pavakaona kuti akanga asiri iye mambo weIsraeri vakarega kumudzingirira.
Abaduumizi ab’amagaali bwe baakizuula nti si ye kabaka wa Isirayiri, ne balekeraawo okumugoba.
33 Asi mumwe munhu akangokanda museve wake usina kunanga munhu ukandobaya mambo weIsraeri pakati pezvikamu zvenguo dzake dzokurwa nadzo. Mambo akataurira muchairi wengoro kuti, “Tendeutsa ngoro undibvise muhondo. Ndakuvara.”
Naye omu ku basajja n’amala ganaanuula omutego gwe, n’alasa kabaka wa Isirayiri mu kifo ekimu ebyambalo bye eby’olutalo we byegattira. Kabaka n’agamba omugoba w’eggaali lye nti, “Kyusa onzigye mu lutalo kubanga nfumitiddwa.”
34 Kwezuva rose kurwa kwakaenderera mberi uye mambo weIsraeri akazvitsigira mungoro yake akarwisana navaAramu kusvikira manheru. Zvino pakuvira kwezuva akafa.
Olutalo ne lukanya olunaku lwonna, kyokka kabaka wa Isirayiri ne yeewaliriza okusigala mu gaali lye ng’atunuulidde Abasuuli okutuusa akawungeezi, era enjuba bwe yali ng’egwa n’afa.
