Ya mere, eze Izrel kpọkọtara ndị amụma dị narị ndị ikom anọ nʼọnụọgụgụ jụọ ha, sị, “Anyị a ga-ebuso Ramọt Gilead agha, ka ọ bụ m hapụ?” Ha zara, “Gaa, nʼihi na Chineke ga-enyefe ha nʼaka eze.”
6 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “ʻOku ʻikai ʻi heni ha palōfita ʻa Sihova ʻoku toe, koeʻuhi ke tau fehuʻi ai kiate ia?”

7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻOku kei toe ʻae tangata ʻe tokotaha, ʻaia ke tau fehuʻi ai kia Sihova: ka ʻoku ou fehiʻa kiate ia: he ʻoku ʻikai siʻi fakahā ʻe ia ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi maʻuaipē: ko Mikaia ia ko e foha ʻo Imila.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihosafate, “Ke ʻoua naʻa lea pehē ʻe he tuʻi.”
Eze Izrel zaghachiri Jehoshafat, sị, “A ka nwere otu onye amụma, onye anyị nwere ike isite nʼaka ya jụọ Onyenwe anyị ase, ọ bụ Maikaya nwa Imla, ma akpọrọ m ya asị, nʼihi na o nweghị oge ọ na-ebu amụma ihe ọma nʼebe m nọ, kama ọ bụ naanị nke ọjọọ.” Jehoshafat sịrị, “Eze ekwesighị ikwu okwu dị otu a.”
8 Pea naʻe ui ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ki heʻene tangata talifekau, ʻo ne pehē, ʻAlu ʻo ʻomi ke vave ʻa Mikaia ko e foha ʻo Imila.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Izrel kpọrọ otu onye na-ejere ya ozi sị ya, “Mee ọsịịsọ kpọta Maikaya nwa Imla nʼebe a.”
9 Pea ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta naʻa na nofo taki taha ʻi hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi kuo teunga ʻaki hona pulupulu, pea na nonofo ʻi he malaʻe ʻi he hūʻanga ki he matapā ʻo Samēlia: pea naʻe kikite ʻe he kau palōfita kotoa pē ʻi hona ʻao.
Ehab eze Izrel na Jehoshafat eze Juda, onye ọbụla yi uwe eze ya, na-anọkwasị nʼocheeze ya nʼebe ịzọcha ọka nʼọnụ ụzọ ama e si abata obodo Sameria. Ndị amụma ahụ niile nọkwa na-ebu amụma nʼihu ha.

Zedekaya nwa Kenaana, mere mpi igwe, ọ kwupụtara sị, “Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, ‘Ihe ndị a ka ị ga-eji sọgide ndị Aram, ruo mgbe a ga-ala ha nʼiyi.’”
11 Pea naʻe kikite pehē pe ʻae kau palōfita kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu hake ki Lemoti-Kiliati, pea ke monūʻia: koeʻuhi ʻe tuku mai ia ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi.”
Ndị amụma ndị ọzọ niile na-ebu otu ihe ahụ nʼamụma, na-asị, “Gaa, busoo Ramọt Gilead agha, ị ga-enwekwa mmeri, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe ya nʼaka eze.”

13 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “ʻI he moʻui ʻa Sihova, ko ia ʻoku tala kiate au ʻe hoku ʻOtua, ko ia pe te u lea ʻaki.”
Ma Maikaya sịrị, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, aga m agwa ya naanị ihe Chineke m kwuru.”
14 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ia ki he tuʻi, naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “Te mau ʻalu ki Lemoti-Kiliati ke tau, pe te u taʻofi?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Mou ʻalu hake, mo monūʻia, pea ʻe tuku mai ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ki homou nima.”
Mgbe ọ bịarutere, eze jụrụ ya, “Maikaya, ọ bụ anyị gaa buso Ramọt Gilead agha, ka ọ bụ m hapụ?” Ọ zara, “Gaa, ma nwekwa mmeri, nʼihi na a ga-enyefe ha nʼaka gị.”
15 Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻE liunga fiha ʻeku fakafuakavaʻi koe ke ʻoua naʻa ke lea ki ha meʻa ka ke tala ʻae moʻoni kiate au ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova?”
Eze sịrị ya, “Ugboro ole ka m ga-eme ka ị ṅụọ iyi na ị gaghị agwa m ihe ọzọ, karịa naanị eziokwu nʼaha Onyenwe anyị?”
16 Pea toki pehē ʻe ia, “Naʻaku mamata ki ʻIsileli kotoa pē naʻe movetevete ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga, ʻo hangē ko e fanga sipi ʻoku ʻikai hanau tauhi: pea pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko kinautolu ni, ʻoku ʻikai hanau ʻeiki: ko ia, tuku ke nau liu mai taki taha ki hono fale ʻi he fiemālie.’”
Mgbe ahụ, Mikaya zara, “Ahụrụ m Izrel niile ka ha gbasasịrị nʼelu ọtụtụ ugwu dịka atụrụ na-enweghị onye ọzụzụ atụrụ ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Ndị a enweghị onyendu, ka onye ọbụla laghachi nʼụlọ ya nʼudo.’”
17 Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “ʻIkai naʻaku tala kiate koe ʻe ʻikai te ne tala ha lelei kiate au, ka ko e kovi pe?”
Eze Izrel sịrị Jehoshafat, “Ọ bụ na m agwaghị gị na ọ dịghị mgbe ọ na-ebu amụma ihe ọma banyere m, kama naanị ihe ọjọọ?”
18 Pea toe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko ia fanongo ki he folofola ʻa Sihova: Naʻaku mamata kia Sihova ʻoku nofo ʻi hono ʻafioʻanga, pea naʻe tuʻu ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe langi ʻi hono nima toʻomataʻu mo hono toʻohema.
Maikaya gara nʼihu sị, “Ya mere, nụrụnụ okwu Onyenwe anyị: Ahụrụ m Onyenwe anyị ka ọ nọkwasịrị nʼocheeze ya, hụkwa usuu nke eluigwe ka ha na-eguzo nʼaka nri ya nakwa nʼaka ekpe ya.
19 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Ko hai ʻe faʻa fakalotoʻi ʻa ʻEhapi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu hake ia ʻo tō ʻi Lemoti-Kiliati? Pea naʻe lea ʻe he tokotaha ʻo pehē, ʻe pehē pe ia, pea lea ʻe he taha kehe ʻo pehē, ʻe pehē na ia.
Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Onye ga-aga rafuo Ehab, eze Izrel, ka ọ gaa buso Ramọt Gilead agha, gaa nwụọ nʼebe ahụ?’ “Otu onye tụpụtara aro nke a, ebe onye ọzọ tụpụtara nke ọzọ.
20 Pea naʻe toki haʻu kituʻa ʻae laumālie ʻe taha, pea tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, ‘Te u fakalotoʻi ia.’ Pea pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘ʻAki ʻae hā?’
Nʼikpeazụ, otu mmụọ pụtara guzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị sị, ‘Mụ onwe m ga-arafu ya.’ “Onyenwe anyị jụrụ ya sị, ‘Olee otu ị ga-esi mee nke a?’
21 Pea pehē ʻe ia, ‘Te u ʻalu atu, pea u hoko ko e laumālie loi ʻi he ngutu ʻo ʻene kau palōfita kotoa pē.’ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ‘Te ke faʻa fakalotoʻi ia, pea ke lavaʻi ia foki: ʻalu atu, pea ke fai ia.’”
“Ọ zara, ‘Aga m apụ bụrụ mmụọ nrafu nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya niile.’ “Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Ị ga-enwe ike ịrafu ya. Gaa mee otu a.’
22 Pea ko eni, “Vakai, kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ʻae laumālie loi ʻi he ngutu ʻo ho kau palōfita ni, pea kuo folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaki ʻae kovi kiate koe.”
“Ma ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị etinyela mmụọ okwu ụgha nʼọnụ ndị amụma gị niile ndị a. Onyenwe anyị ekwubiela nʼihe ọjọọ ga-adakwasị gị.”
23 Pea naʻe ʻunuʻunu ʻo ofi ʻa Setikia ko e foha ʻo Kinana, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻa Mikaia ʻi he kouʻahe, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e fē ʻae hala naʻe fou ai ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova meiate au ke lea kiate koe?”
Mgbe ahụ, Zedekaya nwa Kenaana, gara nso maa Maikaya aka na nti, jụọ ya, “Olee ụzọ ka mmụọ ahụ sitere na Onyenwe anyị gara, mgbe ọ hapụrụ m bịa ịgwa gị okwu?”
24 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Vakai, te ke mamata ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻaia te ke hū ai ki he loki ʻi loto ke fufū koe.”
Maikaya zaghachiri, “Ị ga-achọpụta nke a nʼụbọchị ị ga-agbaba nʼime ime ụlọ izo onwe gị.”
25 Pea pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, “Mou puke ʻa Mikaia, pea toe ʻave ia kia ʻAmoni ko e pule ʻoe kolo, pea kia Soasi ko e foha ʻoe tuʻi:
Eze Izrel nyere iwu sị, “Jidenụ Maikaya kpụgara ya Amọn, onye na-achị obodo a, na Joash, nwa eze.
26 pea ke pehē, ‘ʻOku pehē mai ʻae tuʻi, Fakahū ʻae siana ni ki he fale fakapōpula, pea fafanga ia ʻaki ʻae mā ʻoe mamahi mo e vai ʻoe mamahi, ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku liu mai ʻi he fiemālie.’”
Ị ga-asịkwa, ‘Otu a ka eze sịrị: Tinye nwoke a nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, nye ya naanị achịcha na mmiri ọṅụṅụ tutu ruo mgbe m lọghachiri nʼudo.’”
27 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mikaia, “Kapau te ke liu mai moʻoni ʻi he fiemālie, pea tā naʻe ʻikai folofola ʻa Sihova ʻiate au.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAe kakai kotoa pē, mou tokanga.”
Maikaya kwupụtara sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị lọghachi nʼudo, ọ pụtara na ọ bụghị Onyenwe anyị si nʼọnụ m kwuo okwu.” O kwukwara sị, “Unu niile, hụbakwanụ okwu m ndị a niile ama.”
28 Ko ia, naʻe ʻalu hake ki Lemoti-Kiliati ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli mo Sihosafate ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
Ya mere, eze Izrel na Jehoshafat eze Juda pụrụ gawa Ramọt Gilead.
29 Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli kia Sihosafate, “Te u fakapuli au, pea u ʻalu ki he tau: ka ke ʻai ʻe koe ʻa ho ngaahi pulupulu teunga.” Ko ia naʻe fakapuli ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻa na ō ki he tau.
Eze Izrel gwara Jehoshafat, sị, “Aga m ejikere onwe m dịka m bụ onye ọzọ banye nʼọgbọ agha, ma gị onwe gị yiri uwe eze gị.” Ya mere, eze Izrel nwogharịrị onwe ya ka onye ọzọ baa nʼọgbọ agha.
30 Pea ko eni naʻe ʻosi hono fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia ki he ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻo ʻene ngaahi saliote ʻaia naʻe ʻiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa mou tau ki he siʻi pe ki he lahi, ka ki he tuʻi pe ʻo ʻIsileli.”
Ma eze Aram enyelarị ndị ọchịagha, ndị na-agba ụgbọ agha iwu sị, “Unu ebusola onye ọbụla agha, maọbụ onye ukwu maọbụ onye nta, karịakwa naanị eze Izrel.”
31 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he mamata ʻae kau ʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi saliote kia Sihosafate, naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli.” Ko ia naʻa nau tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia ke tau: ka naʻe tangi kalanga ʻa Sihosafate, pea naʻe tokoni ia ʻe Sihova: pea naʻe fakalotoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ke nau ʻalu ʻiate ia.
Mgbe ndị ọchịagha na-achị ụgbọ agha hụrụ Jehoshafat, ha chere nʼobi ha, “Onye a bụ eze Izrel.” Nʼihi ya, ha tụgharịrị ibuso ya agha, ma Jehoshafat tiri mkpu, nke mere na Onyenwe anyị nyeere ya aka. Chineke wezugara ha site nʼebe ọ nọ,
32 He naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he mamata ʻe he houʻeiki pule ʻoe ngaahi saliote ʻo ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ko e tuʻi ia ʻo ʻIsileli, naʻa nau foki ki mui mei he tuli kiate ia.
nʼihi na mgbe ndị ọchịagha, na-achị ndị na-agba ụgbọ agha hụrụ na ọ bụghị eze Izrel, ha kwụsịrị ịchụso ya.
33 Pea ko e tangata ʻe taha naʻe teke ʻae kau fana ʻo fana noa pe, pea naʻe tau ia ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe hokoʻanga ʻoe kofu tau: ko ia naʻa ne pehē ai ki heʻene tangata saliote, “Tafoki ho nima, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻave au kituʻa mei he tau he kuo u lavea.”
Ma otu onye dọrọ ụta ya gbapụ ya na-ebughị onye ọbụla nʼobi, gbata ya eze Izrel nʼetiti njikọ ihe ikpuchi obi na uwe agha ya. Eze gwara onye ọkwọ ụgbọ agha, sị, “Tụgharịa, si nʼebe a bupụ m nʼihi na emerụọla m ahụ.”
34 Pea naʻe tupu mālohi ʻae tau ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ka naʻe poupou hake ia ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi heʻene saliote ʻo tauʻi ʻae kakai Silia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea naʻe pekia ia ʻo feʻunga mo e ʻalu hifo ʻae laʻā.
Agha ahụ siri ike nʼụbọchị ahụ niile. Eze Izrel guzobere onwe ya ka ọ kwụrụ ọtọ nʼime ụgbọ agha ya na-eche ndị Aram ihu ruo uhuruchi. Ọ nwụrụ mgbe anyanwụ dara.
