2 Ben-Hadad somaa abɔfo kɔɔ kurow no mu, sɛ wɔnkɔka nkyerɛ ɔhene Ahab se, “Ben-Hadad se,
Eɖo ame dɔdɔwo ɖe Ahab, Israel fia gbɔ be woagblɔ nɛ be, “Ben Hadad be,

‘Wò klosalo kple sika nye tɔnye eye srɔ̃wòwo kple viwòwo dometɔ nyuitɔwo nye tɔnye.’”
4 Ahab buae se, “Mate, me wura! Nea mewɔ nyinaa yɛ wo de.”
Israel fia ɖo eŋu be, “Nye aƒetɔ kple fia, abe ale si nègblɔe ene la, nye ŋutɔ kple nu siwo le asinye la nye tɔwò!”
5 Ankyɛ biara Ben-Hadad abɔfo san baa bio bɛkae se, “Ben-Hadad se, ‘Maka dedaw sɛ momfa mo dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, mo yerenom ne mo mma mma me.
Ame dɔdɔawo gava eye wogblɔ be, “Ben Hadad be, ‘Togbɔ be medɔ ame ɖe wò be maxɔ wò klosalo kple sika kple srɔ̃wòwo kple viwòwo hã la,

etsɔ ɣe aleawo ɣi lɔƒo la, maɖo amewo ɖa be woaka wò fiasã me kple ŋuwòmewo ƒe aƒewo me. Woatsɔ nu sia nu si xɔ asi na wò la adzoe!’”
7 Na Ahab frɛɛ asase no so ntuanofo no nyinaa, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monhwɛ sɛnea saa ɔbarima yi pɛ sɛ ɔde ɔhaw ba. Mapene so dedaw sɛ mede me yerenom, me mma, me dwetɛ ne me sikakɔkɔɔ bɛma no.”
Ahab yɔ eƒe aɖaŋudelawo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Mikpɔ nu si wɔm ŋutsu sia le la ɖa! Ele ge dim togbɔ be mena wònya be ate ŋu axɔ srɔ̃nyewo, vinyewo, nye klosalo kple sika abe ale si wòdi ene gɔ̃ hã.”
8 Ntuanofo ne nnipa no nyinaa kae se, “Ntie no, na nnye nʼabisade no nto mu.”
Aɖaŋuɖolawo ɖo aɖaŋu nɛ be, “Mègatsɔ nu bubu aɖeke wu esiawo nɛ o.”
9 Enti Ahab ka kyerɛɛ abɔfo a wofi Ben-Hadad nkyɛn bae no se, “Monkɔka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ me wura ɔhene se, ‘Biribiara a obisaa kan no de, mede bɛma no. Na nea obisaa no akyiri yi de, merentumi mfa mma no.’” Enti Ben-Hadad abɔfo no san kɔbɔɔ no amanneɛ.
Ale Fia Ahab gblɔ na Fia Ben Hadad ƒe ame dɔdɔwo be, “Migblɔ na nye aƒetɔ, fia la be, ‘Matsɔ nu sia nu si nèbia zi gbãtɔ la na wò gake wò amewo maka nye fiasã la kple nye amewo ƒe aƒewo me o.’” Ale ame dɔdɔawo trɔ yi Ben Hadad gbɔ.
10 Na Ben-Hadad soma kɔka kyerɛɛ Ahab se, “Sɛ mansɛe Samaria pasaa, na emu mfutuma dodow bi ka a ɛbɛboro asraafo no mu biara nsa ma a, anyame no ntwe mʼaso nea ɛyɛ den.”
Azɔ la, Siria fia la gblɔ ɖo ɖe Ahab be, “Mawuawo nafiam agafiam ɖe edzi ne nye aʋakɔ metrɔ Samaria wòzu ʋuʋudedi asiʋlo ʋɛ aɖewo ko o!”
11 Israelhene nso soma ma wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔkofo kɛse a ɔrefa nʼafoa akɔ akono tu ne ho sɛ ɔkofo kɛse a wadi nkonim dedaw.”
Israel fia Ahab ɖo eŋu be, “Miyi ɖagblɔ na Fia Ben Hadad be, ‘Ame si le aʋa wɔ ge la maƒo adegbe o, ke ame si wɔ aʋa ɖu dzi la koe aƒo adegbe!’”
12 Ahab mmuae yi duu Ben-Hadad ne ahemfo a wɔaka no asom bere a na wɔrenom nsa wɔ wɔn ntamadan mu. Ɔhyɛɛ ne mmarima no se, “Munsiesie mo ho nkɔko.” Enti wosiesiee wɔn ho sɛ wɔrekɔtow ahyɛ kuropɔn no so.
Fia Ahab ƒe ŋuɖoɖo sia va ɖo Fia Ben Hadad kple fia bubuawo gbɔ esi wonɔ aha nom le woƒe agbadɔwo me. Ben Hadad ɖe gbe na eƒe aʋafiawo be, “Midzra ɖo miaho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu.”
13 Na odiyifo bi behuu ɔhene Ahab ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni, ‘Wuhu saa atamfo dɔm yi? Nnɛ, mede wɔn bɛhyɛ wo nsa. Na wubehu sɛ mene Awurade.’”
Nyagblɔɖila aɖe va kpɔ Israel fia Ahab eye wògblɔ nɛ be ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, “Èkpɔ futɔ la ƒe aʋakɔ siawoa? Matsɔ wo katã ade asi na wò egbe, ekema ànya mlɔeba be, nyee nye Yehowa!”
14 Ahab bisae se, “Na dɛn na ɔbɛyɛ no?” Na odiyifo no buae se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni, ‘Asraafo so asahene a wotuatua amansin ano no na wɔbɛyɛ.’” Ahab bisae se, “Enti yenni kan ntow nhyɛ wɔn so ana?” Odiyifo no buae se, “Yiw.”
Ahab bia be, “Ke ame kae awɔ nu sia?” Nyagblɔɖila la ɖo eŋu be, “Alea Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Ato ɖekakpuiwo, asrafo siwo le nutoa me la dzi.’” Ahab gabia be, “Ame kae adze aʋa la gɔme?” Nyagblɔɖila la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Miawoe!”
15 Enti Ahab boaboaa asraafo so asahene nkumaa ahannu aduasa abien wɔhyehyɛ amansin asahene ase ano. Afei, ɔfrɛɛ Israel akofo a wɔaka a wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛ mpem ason no.
Ale Ahab ƒo aʋawɔla alafa eve blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve nu ƒu tso dutawo kpe ɖe Israelʋakɔ mamlɛa, ame akpe adre, ŋu.
16 Ɛbɛyɛ owigyinae a Ben-Hadad ne nʼapamfo ahemfo aduasa abien gu so rebow nsa wɔ wɔn ntamadan mu no,
Le ŋdɔ me lɔƒo la, esi Ben Hadad kple Fia bubu blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eveawo ganɔ aha nom hede mumu ge kloe la, Ahab ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe akpa gbãtɔ ɖe zɔ ɖe dua dzi.
17 amansin asahene asraafo no tuu teɛe, fii kurow no mu. Wɔrebɛn no, Ben-Hadad akwansrafo ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Asraafo dɔm bi fi Samaria reba.”
Anyigbadzikpɔlawo ƒe ɖekakpuiawo tre hoho. Ben Hadad dɔ amewo ɖa eye wogbɔ va gblɔ nɛ bena, “Samaria ŋutsuwo ho aʋa gbɔna ɖa.”
18 Ben-Hadad hyɛe se, “Sɛ wɔbaa asomdwoe anaa ɔko so a, monkyere wɔn anikann.”
Ben Hadad ɖe gbe na wo be, “Milé wo agbagbe ne wova na ŋutifafa loo alo aʋawɔwɔ!”
19 Nanso saa bere no, na Ahab amansin asahene nkumaa no adi kan a asraafo no bɔ wɔn kyidɔm
Ɖekakpui siwo nye asrafo, siwo le nutoa dzi kpɔm la dze ŋgɔ eye asrafoawo kplɔ wo ɖo do le dua me.
20 a Israel ɔsraani biara kum ne tamfo Aram ɔsraani a ɔne no dii asi. Ɛno nti, amono mu hɔ ara, Aram asraafo no bɔɔ hu, guanee. Israelfo no taa wɔn, nanso ɔhene Ben-Hadad ne ne nkurɔfo kakra bi de, wɔtenaa apɔnkɔ so guanee.
Ame sia ame wu Siria srafo ɖeka. Sẽe ko la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Syriaʋakɔ blibo la eye wosi. Israelviwo kplɔ wo ɖo. Ben Hadad kple eŋume ʋɛ aɖewo do sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo hesi.
21 Nanso wɔsɛee apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam a ɛkaa hɔ no nyinaa, kunkum Aramfo no.
Ke Israelviwo xɔ Syriatɔwo ƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo ƒe akpa gãtɔ eye wowu Siriatɔ geɖewo.
22 Akyiri no, odiyifo no ka kyerɛɛ Ahab se, “Siesie wo ho ma ɔko foforo na Aramhene bɛba asusowbere mu.”
Nyagblɔɖila la te ɖe Israel fia ŋu eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Dzra ɖo na Siria fia ƒe aʋa bubu hoho ɖe ŋuwò!”
23 Wodii Ben-Hadad so no, ne mpanyimfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Israel anyame no yɛ mmepɔw anyame, na ɛno nti na ɛma wodii nkonim no. Na sɛ wodu tataw so a, yebedi wɔn so nkonim a yɛremmrɛ ho koraa.
Esi Israelviwo ɖu Siriatɔwo dzi la, Ben Hadad ƒe aʋakplɔlawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Israelviwo ƒe mawuwo nye todzimawuwo eya tae woɖu mía dzi; ke míate ŋu aɖu wo dzi bɔbɔe le balime.
24 Nea ɛho hia ara ne sɛ, saa bere yi, ɛsɛ sɛ wode akono asahene sisi ahemfo no anan mu.

Ƒo ƒu aʋakɔ bubu nu abe esi tsrɔ̃ la ene. Na sɔwo, tasiaɖamwo kple aʋawɔla xexlẽme mawo tututu mí eye míawɔ aʋa kpli wo le balime. Ekema ɖikeke aɖeke meli be míaɖu wo dzi kokoko o!” Ale Fia Ben Hadad wɔ nu si wogblɔ nɛ.
26 Na afe so no, ɔfrɛɛ Aram asraafo, tuu teɛ kɔɔ Israelfo so wɔ Afek sɛ wɔne wɔn rekɔko.
Esi ƒe trɔ la, eƒo Aramea aʋakɔ la nu ƒu eye wòho aʋa ɖe Israel ŋu azɔ le Afek.
27 Israel boaboaa nʼasraafo ano, twaa sa, de wɔn ho hyɛɛ ɔko no mu. Na sɛ wɔde Israel asraafo no toto Aram asraafo no dodow a wɔahyɛ hɔ ma no ho a, na Israel asraafo no dodow te sɛ mmirekyikuw nketewa abien bi.
Israel hã ƒo eƒe aʋawɔlawo nu ƒu, wodi nuɖuɖu da ɖi eye woyi aʋagbedzi. Ke Israelʋakɔ la dze abe gbɔ̃viwo ƒe ha eve ko ene ne wotsɔe sɔ kple Arameatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ si gbagba ɖe balime la ŋu!
28 Onyankopɔn nipa no kɔɔ Israelhene nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Aramfo no aka se, ‘Awurade yɛ mmepɔw Awurade na ɔnyɛ tataw so Awurade. Enti mɛboa wo ama woadi asraafo buburugyaa yi so. Na ɛbɛma woahu sɛ, mene Awurade no.’”
Mawu ƒe ame aɖe yi Israel fia la gbɔ eye wògblɔ nya siawo tso Yehowa gbɔ nɛ: “Esi Siriatɔwo gblɔ be, ‘Yehowa nye to dzi Mawu eye menye balime ƒe Mawu o’ ta la, makpe ɖe mia ŋu miaɖu aʋakɔ gã sia dzi eye mianya be nyee nye Yehowa nyateƒe.”
29 Asraafo dɔm abien yi bobɔɔ wɔn atenae, ma edii nhwɛanim nnanson. Na nnanson so no, ɔko no hyɛɛ ase. Da no ara, Israelfo no kunkum Aram anammɔnmufo asraafo no mpem ɔha.
Aʋakɔ eveawo ƒu asaɖa anyi dze ŋgɔ wo nɔewo ŋkeke adre eye aʋa la dze egɔme le ŋkeke adrelia gbe. Israelviwo wu Siriatɔ akpe alafa ɖeka le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi.
30 Nkae no guan kɔtɛw Afek fasu akyi, nanso ɔfasu no bu guu wɔn so, kum mpem aduonu ason. Ben-Hadad guan kɔtɛw kokoa mu dan bi mu wɔ kurow no mu.
Aʋawɔla siwo susɔ la si yi Afek ƒe gliwo megbe, ke gliawo ƒe akpa aɖe mu dze wo dzi eye wo dometɔ akpe blaeve-vɔ-adre ku. Ben Hadad si yi du la me eye wòbe ɖe aƒe aɖe ƒe xɔ ememetɔ me.
31 Ben-Hadad mpanyimfo ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, yɛate sɛ Israel ahemfo wɔ ahummɔbɔ. Ɛno nti, momma yemfura atweaatam, mfa hama mmɔ yɛn ti ase mfa nkyerɛ ahobrɛase. Na ebia, ɔhene Ahab bɛma woatena ase.”
Eƒe aʋakplɔlawo gblɔ nɛ be, “Amegã, míese be Israel fiawo nye nublanuikpɔnamelawo. Na míata akpanya, akaka ɖa ɖe ta eye míayi Fia Ahab gbɔ kpɔ be ana nànɔ agbe mahã?”
32 Enti wofurafuraa atweaatam, de ahama bobɔɔ wɔn ti, kɔɔ Israelhene nkyɛn kɔsrɛɛ no se, “Wo somfo Ben-Hadad se, ‘Mesrɛ wo, ma me ntena nkwa mu.’” Israelhene no bisae se, “Ɔda so te ase ana? Ɔyɛ me nuabarima!”
Ale woyi Fia Ahab gbɔ eye woɖe kuku nɛ be, “Wò dɔla, Fia Ben Hadad le kuku ɖem be, ‘Na manɔ agbe!’” Israel Fia bia be, “Oo, egale agbea? Nɔvinyee!”
33 Mmarima no yɛɛ ntɛm soo anidaso a enni nnyinaso yi mu, buae se, “Yiw, wo nua Ben-Hadad.” Israelhene no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔfa no mmra.” Bere a wɔde Ben-Hadad bae no, Ahab ma ɔkɔtenaa ne teaseɛnam mu.
Ameawo ɖo eŋu kaba be, “Ɛ̃, nɔviwò, Fia Ben Hadad, gale agbe!” Israel Fia gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi ɖakplɔe vɛ.” Esi Ben Hadad va ɖo la, Ahab na wòge ɖe eƒe tasiaɖam me!
34 Ben-Hadad ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mede nkurow a mʼagya gye fii wʼagya nsam no bɛsan ama wo, na woahyehyɛ aguadi wɔ Damasko, sɛnea mʼagya yɛɛ wɔ Samaria no.” Na Ahab kae se, “Saa nhyehyɛe yi so na megyina na magyaa wo.” Enti, wɔyɛɛ apam, na wogyaa Ben-Hadad.
Ben Hadad gblɔ nɛ be, “Magbugbɔ du siwo fofonye xɔ le fofowò si la na wò; àte ŋu atsa asi kple Damasko abe ale si fofonye wɔ le Samaria ene.” Ahab gblɔ be, “Bla nu kplim, ekema maɖe asi le ŋuwò nàdzo.” Ale wòbla nu kplii eye wòɖe asi le eŋu wòdzo.
35 Bere no ara mu, Awurade see adiyifokuw no mu baako se, ɔnka nkyerɛ ɔfoforo se, “Fa wʼakode no bɔ me.” Nanso wanyɛ.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yehowa ƒe gbe va na nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka be, wòagblɔ na nɔvia aɖe be, “Tsɔ wò yi dzam!” Ke nɔvia gbe.
36 Na saa odiyifo no ka kyerɛɛ ɔfoforo no se, “Sɛ woantie Awurade nne nti, sɛ wufi ha ara pɛ a, gyata bekum wo.” Ampa ara, ofii hɔ ara pɛ na gyata huu no kum no.
Ale nyagblɔɖila la gblɔ nɛ be, “Esi mèɖo to Yehowa ƒe gbe o ta la, dzata aɖe awu wò ne èdzo le gbɔnye ko.” Nyateƒe, esi wòtrɔ be yeadzo ko la, dzata aɖe wui.
37 Na odiyifo no kɔɔ ɔbarima foforo nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa wʼakode yi bɔ me.” Ɔno de, ɔbɔɔ odiyifo no, piraa no.
Nyagblɔɖila la trɔ ɖe ame bubu gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ wò yi dzam.” Ame la dzae eye wòde abi eŋu.
