Agha ọzọ adaghị nʼetiti Aram na Izrel afọ atọ.
2 Na mfe abiɛsa no mu, ɔhene Yehosafat a odi ade wɔ Yuda kɔɔ Israelhene Ahab nkyɛn.
Ma nʼafọ nke atọ, Jehoshafat, eze Juda, gara ileta Ehab eze Izrel.
3 Na Ahab abisa ne mpanyimfo se, “Moahu sɛ Aramfo da so te yɛn kurow Ramot Gilead mu ana? Nanso yɛnyɛɛ ho hwee!”
Eze Izrel sịrị ndị ozi ya, “Unu amaghị na ala Ramọt Gilead bụ nke anyị, ma lee na anyị gbara nkịtị ịga napụta ya site nʼaka eze Aram?”
4 Enti obisaa Yehosafat se, “Wobɛka me ho na yɛako atia Ramot Gilead ana?” Na Yehosafat buaa ɔhene Ahab se, “Adɛn? Ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛda ne kwan mu. Wo ne me yɛ anuanom, na mʼakofo yɛ wo de sɛ wobɛka asɛm a wopɛ akyerɛ wɔn. Mpo, mʼapɔnkɔ da wo da.”
Ya mere, ọ jụrụ Jehoshafat, “Ị ga-eso m gaa buso Ramọt Gilead agha?” Jehoshafat zaghachiri eze Izrel, sị, “Otu m dị ka gị onwe gị dị, ndị m bụkwa ndị gị, ịnyịnya m bụkwa nke gị.”
5 Na Yehosafat ka kaa ho se, “Nea edi kan no, ma yemmisa Awurade hɔ afotu.”
Ma Jehoshafat gwakwara eze Izrel, sị, “Buru ụzọ chọpụta ihe bụ ntụziaka Onyenwe anyị.”
6 Enti ɔhene Ahab frɛɛ nʼadiyifo a wɔn dodow bɛyɛ ahannan no nyinaa, bisaa wɔn se, “Menkɔko ntia Ramot Gilead anaa mennkɔ?” Wɔn nyinaa buae se, “Kɔ so! Awurade bɛma woadi nkonim anuonyam so.”
Ya mere, eze Izrel kpọkọtara ndị amụma, ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru narị ndị ikom anọ, jụọ ha sị, “Ọ bụ m gaa buso Ramọt Gilead agha, ka ọ bụ m hapụ ịga?” Ha zara, “Gaa, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe ha nʼaka eze.”
7 Nanso Yehosafat bisae se, “Enti Awurade diyifo biara nso nni ha? Anka mepɛ sɛ mibisa no saa asɛm koro no ara.”
Ma Jehoshafat jụrụ, “Ọ bụ na e nwekwaghị onye amụma Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe a, onye anyị nwere ike ịjụta ase nʼaka ya?”
8 Ɔhene Ahab buae se, “Awurade diyifo baako da so wɔ ha, nanso metan no. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ nkɔm bɔne na ɔhyɛ fa me ho. Ne din de Mikaia a ɔyɛ Imla babarima.” Na Yehosafat kae se, “Nkasa saa. Momma yentie asɛm a ɔwɔ ka.”
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.”
9 Enti Israelhene frɛɛ ne mpanyimfo no mu baako, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka wo ho kɔfa Imla babarima Mikaia bra.”
Mgbe ahụ, eze Izrel kpọrọ otu onye na-ejere ya ozi sị ya, “Mee ọsịịsọ kpọta Maikaya nwa Imla nʼebe a.”
10 Israelhene Ahab ne Yudahene Yehosafat hyɛɛ wɔn ahemfo ntade, tenaa wɔn ahengua mu wɔ apongua a ɛbɛn Samaria kwan no ano. Saa bere no, na Ahab adiyifo no rehyɛ nkɔm wɔ wɔn anim.
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.
11 Na wɔn mu baako a ɔyɛ Kenaana babarima Sedekia de nnade yɛɛ mmɛn, na ɔdaa no adi se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Mode saa mmɛn yi bɛwowɔ Aramfo yi ama wɔawuwu!”
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.’”
12 Adiyifo a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa penee so kae se, “Yiw, monkɔ Ramot-Gilead, na munkodi nkonim, efisɛ Awurade bɛma moadi nkonim.”
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 Na ɔbɔfo a ɔkɔfaa Mikaia no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Tie, adiyifo no nyinaa hyɛ nkonimdi ho nkɔm ma ɔhene. Hwɛ sɛ wo ne wɔn adwene bɛyɛ baako, na wo nso, wobɛhyɛ nkonimdi ho nkɔm.”
Onyeozi ahụ nke gara ịkpọ Maikaya sịrị ya, “Lee, ndị amụma ndị ọzọ na-agụpụghị onye ọbụla na-ebu amụma ọganihu nye eze. Mee ka okwu gị na ha dakọta. Kwuokwa ihe ga-adị eze mma.”
14 Nanso Mikaia buae se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, nea Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no, ɛno na mɛka.”
Ma Maikaya sịrị, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, aga m agwa ya naanị ihe Onyenwe anyị gwara m.”
15 Bere a Mikaia beduu ahemfi no, Ahab bisaa no se, “Mikaia, yɛnkɔko ntia Ramot-Gilead anaa yɛnnkɔ?” Na Mikaia buae se, “Monkɔ! Na Awurade bɛma ɔhene adi nkonim anuonyam so.”
Mgbe ọ bịarutere, eze jụrụ ya, “Maikaya, ọ bụ anyị gaa buso Ramọt Gilead agha, ka ọ bụ anyị hapụ?” Ọ zara, “Gaa, ma nwekwa mmeri, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe ya nʼaka eze.”
16 Ɔhene amma nʼano ansi, na obuaa no se, “Mpɛn ahe na menka nkyerɛ wo se, sɛ worekasa ama Awurade a, ka nokwasɛm?”
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?”
17 Na Mikaia ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Anisoadehu mu, mihuu sɛ Israel abɔ apete mmepɔw no so, te sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo. Na Awurade kae se, ‘Wɔakum wɔn wura. Ma wɔnkɔ fie asomdwoe mu.’”
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.’”
18 Israelhene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Manka saa ankyerɛ wo ana? Da biara saa na ɔyɛ. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ atoro nkɔm na ɔhyɛ fa me ho.”
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?”
19 Mikaia toaa so se, “Tie nea Awurade ka. Mihuu Awurade sɛ ɔte nʼahengua so a ne ɔsorofo asraafo nyinaa atwa ne ho ahyia wɔ ne nifa ne ne benkum so.”
Mikaya 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 nʼakụkụ ya, nʼaka nri ya nakwa nʼaka ekpe ya.
20 Na Awurade bisae se, “Hena na obetumi adaadaa Ahab, ama wakɔ ɔko atia Ramot Gilead, a ebetumi aba sɛ wobekum no wɔ hɔ?” Wosusuw nsɛm ahorow bebree ho wɔ hɔ,
Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Onye ga-aga rafuo Ehab ka ọ gaa buso Ramọt Gilead agha, gaa nwụọ nʼebe ahụ?’ “Otu onye tụpụtara aro nke a, ebe onye ọzọ tụpụtara nke ọzọ.
21 kosii sɛ ne koraa no, honhom bi bɛnee Awurade kae se, “Metumi ayɛ!”
Nʼikpeazụ otu mmụọ pụtara, guzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị sị, ‘Mụ onwe m ga-arafu ya.’
22 Awurade bisae se, “Ɔkwan bɛn so na wobɛfa ayɛ eyi?” Na honhom no buae se, “Mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Ahab adiyifo, ama wɔadi atoro.” Awurade kae se, “Kɔ so yɛ, na wubedi nkonim.
“‘Onyenwe anyị jụrụ sị, Olee otu ị ga-esi mee nke a?’ “‘Aga m apụ gaa bụrụ mmụọ nrafu nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya niile,’ ka ọ zara. “Onyenwe anyị sịrị, ‘Ị ga-enwe ike ịrafu ya. Gaa mee otu a.’
23 “Enti woahu sɛ Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifo no anom. Awurade adwene sɛ ɔde amanehunu bɛba wo so.”
“Ma ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị etinyela mmụọ okwu ụgha nʼọnụ ndị amụma gị niile ndị a. Onyenwe anyị ekwubiela nʼihe ọjọọ ga-adakwasị gị.”
24 Afei Kenaana babarima Sedekia kɔɔ Mikaia so, kɔbɔɔ nʼani so. Obisaa no se, “Da bɛn na Awurade honhom fii me mu bɛkasa kyerɛɛ wo?”
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?”
25 Na Mikaia buae se, “Ɛrenkyɛ biara, wubehu nokware no, bere a wubeguan akɔtetɛw kokoa mu dan bi mu.”
Maikaya zaghachiri, “Ị ga-achọpụta nke a nʼụbọchị ị ga-agbaba nʼime ime ụlọ izo onwe gị.”
26 Israelhene Ahab hyɛe se, “Monkyere Mikaia, na momfa no nkɔma Amon a ɔyɛ kurow no mu amrado, na momfa no nkɔ me babarima Yoas nkyɛn.
Mgbe ahụ, eze Izrel nyere iwu sị, “Jidenụ Maikaya kpụgara ya Amọn onye na-achị obodo a, na Joash nwa eze
27 Monka saa asɛm a efi ɔhene nkyɛn yi nkyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Fa saa ɔbarima yi to afiase. Mommma no aduan biara sɛ brodo ne nsu, kosi sɛ mefi akono bɛba asomdwoe mu.’”
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.’”
28 Nanso Mikaia buae se, “Sɛ wosan ba asomdwoe mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Awurade amfa me so ankasa.” Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wogyinagyina hɔ, atwa ne ho ahyia no se, “Saa asɛm a maka yi, monhyɛ no nsow.”
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!”
29 Na Israelhene ne Yudahene Yehosafat dii wɔn asraafo anim, kɔtow hyɛɛ Ramot-Gilead so.
Ya mere, eze Izrel na Jehoshafat eze Juda, pụrụ gawa Ramọt Gilead.
30 Afei, ɔhene Ahab ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Yɛrekɔ ɔko yi, mɛsakra me ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara renhu me. Nanso, wo de, hyɛ wʼahentade.” Enti Ahab sakraa ne ho, na wɔkɔɔ ɔko no.
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.
31 Saa bere no, na Aramhene aka akyerɛ ne nteaseɛnamkafo aduasa abien no sɛ, “Monkɔtow nhyɛ Israelhene nko ara so!”
Ma eze Aram enyelarị ndị ọchịagha ndị na-agba ụgbọ agha, ọnụọgụgụ ha dị iri atọ na abụọ, iwu sị, “Unu ebusola onye ọbụla agha, maọbụ onye ukwu maọbụ onye nta, karịakwa naanị eze Izrel.”
32 Enti bere a Aramhene nteaseɛnamkafo no huu Yehosafat sɛ ɔhyɛ nʼahentade no, wɔtaa no. Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Israelhene no ne no.” Nanso, bere a Yehosafat teɛɛ mu no,
Mgbe ndị ọchịagha, na-achị ụgbọ agha hụrụ Jehoshafat, ha chere nʼobi ha, “Nʼezie, onye a bụ eze Izrel.” Nʼihi ya ha tụgharịrị ibuso ya agha, ma Jehoshafat tiri mkpu,
33 nteaseɛnamkafo no huu sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔno ne Israelhene no nti, wogyaw nʼakyidi.
ndị ọchịagha, na-achị ndị na-agba ụgbọ agha hụrụ na ọ bụghị eze Izrel, ma kwụsị ịchụso ya.
34 Aram sraani bi de anibiannaso tow agyan kyerɛɛ Israel asraafo no so, maa ɛkɔwɔɔ Israelhene wɔ ne nkatabo ahyiae so. Ahab teɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ ne teaseɛnamkafo no se, “Fa me fi ha ntɛm, na wɔapira me pa ara.”
Ma otu onye dọrọ ụta ya gbapụ ya na-ebughị onye ọbụla nʼobi, gbata ya eze Izrel nʼetiti njikọ nke uwe agha ya. Eze gwara onye ọkwọ ụgbọ agha ya, sị, “Tụgharịa, si nʼebe a bupụ m, nʼihi na emerụọla m ahụ.”
35 Ɔko no kɔɔ so saa ara da mu no nyinaa, na wɔde Ahab twerii biribi wɔ ne teaseɛnam mu a nʼani kyerɛ Aramfo no. Mogya tuu no fi nʼapirakuru no mu, guu teaseɛnam no mu, na onwini dwoe no, owui.

36 Onwini reyɛ adwo no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu faa asraafo no nyinaa mu se: “Ɔko no aba awiei. Monsan nkɔ fie!”
Mgbe anyanwụ na-ada, e tiri mkpu nke gazuru nʼọgbọ agha ndị Izrel, sị, “Nwoke ọbụla laa nʼobodo ya, onye ọbụla laakwa nʼala nke aka ya!”
37 Na ɔhene no wui no, wɔde nʼamu no kɔɔ Samaria, kosiee no wɔ hɔ.

38 Na wɔhoroo ne teaseɛnam no ho wɔ asubura bi a ɛwɔ Samaria a nguamanfo guare hɔ, na akraman bɛtaforoo ɔhene no mogya no, sɛnea Awurade aka ato hɔ no.
Ha sachara ụgbọ agha ya nʼọdọ mmiri dị na Sameria (ebe ndị akwụna na-asa ahụ). Ụmụ nkịta rachara ọbara ya, dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
39 Nsɛm a ɛfa Ahab ahenni ho ne asonse ahemfi ho asɛm ne nkurow a ɔkyekyeree nyinaa no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu.

40 Bere a Ahab wui no, wosiee no wɔ nʼagyanom mu. Na ne babarima Ahasia dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
Ehab sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ. Ahazaya nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ.
41 Asa babarima Yehosafat bedii Yuda so bere a na Ahab adi ade wɔ Israel ne mfe anan so no.
Jehoshafat nwa Asa ghọrọ eze Juda, nʼafọ nke anọ, nke ọchịchị Ehab eze Izrel.
42 Odii ade no, na wadi mfe aduasa anum, na odii ade Yerusalem mfirihyia aduonu anum. Na ne na din de Asuba a ɔyɛ Silhi babea.
Jehoshafat gbara iri afọ atọ na ise mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze. Ọ chịrị iri afọ abụọ na ise na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Azuba, nwa Shilhi.
43 Na Yehosafat yɛ ɔhene papa a odii nʼagya Asa anammɔn akyi. Ɔyɛɛ ade a ɛsɔ Awurade ani. Nanso, nʼahenni mu no, wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔre, kɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ hɔ no.
Nʼihe niile o jere ije nʼụzọ Asa bụ nna ya, o sitekwaghị nʼime ha wezuga onwe ya, o mekwara ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Naanị na o wezugaghị ebe dị elu niile, nke mere na ndị mmadụ gara nʼihu na-achụ aja, na-esurekwa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼebe ahụ niile.

45 Nsɛm a ɛfa Yehosafat ahenni ho nkae no, faako a ne tumi kodui ne ako a odii no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Jehoshafat, ihe niile ndị ọ rụpụtara, ike ọ kpara nʼọtụtụ agha nke o buru, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?

48 Yehosafat yɛɛ aguadihyɛn bebree sɛ ɛnkɔ Ofir nkɔhwehwɛ sikakɔkɔɔ. Nanso ahyɛn no antumi anyɛ adwuma. Ɛsɛee wɔ Esion-Geber.

49 Saa bere no, Ahab babarima Ahasia susuw ho kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Ma me mmarima ne wo mmarima nkɔ po so akwan nsrahwɛ.” Nanso Yehosafat ampene so.
Nʼoge ahụ, Ahazaya nwa Ehab sịrị Jehoshafat, “Kwere ka ndị ikom m soro ndị ọrụ gị nʼụgbọ gị,” ma Jehoshafat ekweghị.
50 Yehosafat wui no, wosiee no nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Yehoram na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
Mgbe ahụ, Jehoshafat sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha nʼobodo Devid, nna ya. Jehoram nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
51 Ahab babarima Ahasia fii ase dii Israel so bere a na Yehosafat adi ade mfe dunson wɔ Yuda. Odii ade wɔ Samaria mfe abien.
