1 Yehosafat yɛɛ ɔdefo a na nʼanuonyam nso korɔn. Ɔhyehyɛ maa ne babarima waree Israelhene Ahab babea.
Na rĩrĩ, Jehoshafatu aarĩ na indo nyingĩ na agatĩĩka mũno, nake agĩtuma ũthoni na Ahabu.
2 Mfe kakraa bi akyi no, ɔkɔɔ Samaria kɔsraa Ahab. Ahab too pon kɛse bi maa ɔne ne mpanyimfo. Wokunkum nguan ne anantwi bebree de too pon no. Na Ahab srɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ ɔmmɛboa no, na ɔnkɔko ntia Ramot-Gilead.
Mĩaka mĩnini yathira-rĩ, agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ gũceerera Ahabu kũu Samaria. Nake Ahabu akĩmũthĩnjĩra ngʼondu nyingĩ na ngʼombe marĩ hamwe na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake, na akĩmũringĩrĩria matharĩkĩre Ramothu-Gileadi.
3 Ahab bisaa no se, “Wobɛboa me na mako atia Ramot-Gilead ana?” Na Yehosafat bua se, “Me ne wo yɛ pɛ na me nkurɔfo te sɛ wo nkurɔfo, Yɛbɛboa wo, ama woako.”
Ahabu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩũria Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda atĩrĩ, “Nĩũgũthiĩ hamwe na niĩ tũgookĩrĩre Ramothu-Gileadi?” Nake Jehoshafatu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ tũrĩ o ũndũ ũmwe nawe, o na andũ akwa no ta andũ aku; na nĩtũgaakorwo tũrĩ hamwe nawe kũu mbaara-inĩ”.
4 Na Yehosafat ka kaa ho se, “Nea edi kan no, ma yemmisa Awurade hɔ afotu.”
No Jehoshafatu agĩcooka akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Amba ũtuĩrie na ũmenye ũtaaro wa Jehova.”
5 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.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩũngania anabii 400, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Tũthiĩ tũkahũũrane na Ramothu-Gileadi kana ndigathiĩ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩekũneana itũũra rĩu moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
6 Nanso Yehosafat bisae se, “Enti Awurade odiyifo biara nso nni ha? Anka mepɛ sɛ mibisa no saa asɛm koro no ara.”
Nowe Jehoshafatu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũkũ gũtarĩ mũnabii wa Jehova ũrĩa tũngĩũria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ we?”
7 Ɔhene Ahab buae se, “Ɔbaako da so wɔ ha nanso, mikyi no. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm biara sɛ nsɛm a enye na ɔka kyerɛ me. Ne din de Mikaia. Imla babarima ne no.” Yehosafat kae se, “Nkasa saa. Ma yentie asɛm a ɔwɔ ka.”
Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookeria Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe ũrĩa ũngĩtũtuĩrĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no nĩndĩmũthũire tondũ gũtirĩ hĩndĩ andathagĩra ũndũ mwega, no maũndũ mooru hĩndĩ ciothe. Nake nĩwe Mikaia mũrũ wa Imula.” No Jehoshafatu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki ndagĩrĩirwo nĩ kuuga ũguo.”
8 Enti Israelhene frɛɛ ne mpanyimfo no baako ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛ ntɛm kɔfrɛ Imla babarima Mikaia brɛ me.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩta ũmwe wa anene ake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndehera Mikaia mũrũ wa Imula narua.”
9 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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda, mehumbĩte nguo ciao cia ũthamaki, magĩikarĩra itĩ ciao cia ũnene hau kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩrĩa kĩarĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Samaria, nao anabii othe maarĩ ho makĩratha mohoro marĩ mbere yao.
10 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!”
Na rĩrĩ, Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana nĩathondekete hĩa cia kĩgera, nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ici nĩcio mũgaatheeca Asuriata nacio nginya mũmaniine.’”
11 Adiyifo a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa penee so kae se, “Yiw, monkɔ Ramot-Gilead, na munkodi nkonim, efisɛ Awurade bɛma moadi nkonim.”
Nao anabii acio angĩ othe maarathaga o ũndũ ũmwe, makoiga atĩrĩ: “Tharĩkĩra Ramothu-Gileadi na nĩũgũtooria, tondũ Jehova nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
12 Ɔbɔfo a ɔkɔfrɛɛ Mikaia no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwɛ, adiyifo no nyinaa hyɛ ɔhene no bɔ sɛ obedi nkonim. Hwɛ sɛ wone wɔn bɛyɛ adwene, na hyɛ nkonimdi ho bɔ.”
Mũndũ ũrĩa watũmĩtwo ageete Mikaia akĩmwĩra ũũ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, anabii arĩa angĩ othe maarĩtie o ta mũndũ ũmwe, mararathĩra mũthamaki ũhootani. Reke kiugo gĩaku gĩtigakararanie na kĩao, na warie ũndũ mwega.”
13 Nanso Mikaia buae se, “Sɛ Awurade te ase yi, nea me Nyankopɔn aka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no, ɛno na mɛka.”
Nowe Mikaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, niĩ ngũmwĩra o ũrĩa Ngai wakwa ekunjĩĩra.”
14 Bere a Mikaia beduu ɔhene Ahab anim no, obisaa no se, “Mikaia, yɛnkɔko ntia Ramot-Gilead anaa yɛnkɔ?” Mikaia buae se, “Monkɔko! Ɛbɛyɛ nkonimdi a ɛho wɔ nyam.”
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire-rĩ, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mikaia, tũthiĩ tũkahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi, kana tũtigaathiĩ?” Nake Mikaia akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rĩtharĩkĩre na ũhootane, tondũ nĩrĩkũneanwo moko-inĩ maku.”
15 Ɔhene amma nʼano ansi, na obuaa no se, “Mpɛn ahe na menka nkyerɛ wo se, sɛ worekasa ama Awurade a, ka nokwasɛm?”
Mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ maita maigana ngũtũũra ngwĩhĩtithagia ndũkae kũnjĩĩra ũhoro ũngĩ tiga ũhoro wa ma thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova?”
16 Na Mikaia ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Anisoadehu mu no, mihuu sɛ Israel nyinaa abɔ apete wɔ mmepɔw no so sɛ nguan a wonni hwɛfo. Na Awurade kae se, ‘Wɔakum wɔn wura. Fa wɔn kɔ fie asomdwoe mu.’”
Nake Mikaia akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩronire andũ a Isiraeli othe mahurunjũkĩire irĩma-inĩ ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi, nake Jehova aroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ aya matirĩ na mwathi. O mũndũ nĩarekwo ainũke gwake na thayũ.’”
17 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.”
Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndikwĩrire atĩ ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩĩndathĩra ũhoro mwega, tiga o ũrĩa mũũru?”
18 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.
Mikaia agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thikĩrĩria kiugo kĩa Jehova: Ndĩronire Jehova aikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene, arĩ na mbũtũ yothe ya igũrũ ĩrũgamĩte ĩmũthiũrũrũkĩirie mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
19 Na Awurade bisae se, ‘Hena na obetumi adaadaa Israelhene Ahab ama wakotu Ramot-Gilead so sa na wɔakum no wɔ hɔ?’ “Adwenkyerɛ bebree baa ho,
Nake Jehova aroria atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũkũheenereria Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩguo atharĩkĩre Ramothu-Gileadi, nĩgeetha athiĩ agakuĩre kuo?’ “Ũmwe akiuga ũũ, na ũrĩa ũngĩ akiuga ũũ.
20 kosii sɛ ne koraa no, honhom bi bɛnee Awurade kae se, ‘Metumi ayɛ!’” Awurade bisae se, “‘Ɔkwan bɛn so na wobɛfa ayɛ eyi.’”
Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ, roho ũmwe ũkiumĩra, ũkĩrũgama mbere ya Jehova, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ ngũmũheenereria.’ “Jehova akĩũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkũmũheenereria atĩa?’
21 Na honhom no buae se, “Mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Ahab adiyifo, ama wɔadi atoro.” Awurade kae se, “Kɔ so yɛ, na wubedi nkonim.
“Naguo roho ũcio ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩgũthiĩ ngũthiĩ nduĩke roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii ake othe.’ “Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩũkũhota kũmũheenereria. Thiĩ ũgeeke ũguo.’
22 “Enti woahu sɛ Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifo no anom. Awurade adwene sɛ ɔde amanehunu bɛba wo so.”
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova nĩekĩrĩte roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii aya aku. Jehova nĩagwathĩrĩirie mwanangĩko.”
23 Na Kenaana babarima Sedekia kɔɔ Mikaia so, kɔbɔɔ no sotɔre bisae se, “Da bɛn na Awurade honhom fii me so bɛkasa kyerɛɛ wo?”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana akĩambata na akĩringa Mikaia rũhĩ ũthiũ. Akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ roho wa Jehova agereire kũ rĩrĩa oimire kũrĩ niĩ nĩguo aarie nawe?”
24 Na Mikaia buae se, “Ɛrenkyɛ biara, wubehu nokware no, bere a wubeguan akɔtetɛw kokoa mu dan bi mu.”
Mikaia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkamenya mũthenya ũrĩa ũgaathiĩ kwĩhitha kanyũmba ka na thĩinĩ.”
25 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.
Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Oyai Mikaia mũmũcookie kũrĩ Amoni mwathi wa itũũra inene, na kũrĩ Joashu mũrũ wa mũthamaki,
26 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.’”
na mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki ekuuga ũũ: Mũndũ ũyũ nĩaikio njeera na ndakaheo kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa tiga mũgate na maaĩ nginya rĩrĩa ngaacooka na thayũ.’”
27 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.”
Mikaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩgaacooka na thayũ-rĩ, no gũtuĩkire atĩ Jehova ndaarĩtie na niĩ.” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Iguai ũhoro wakwa inyuĩ andũ aya inyuothe!”
28 Enti Israelhene ne Yudahene Yehosafat dii wɔn asraafo anim, tuu Ramot-Gilead so sa.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda makĩambata nginya Ramothu-Gileadi.
29 Afei, ɔhene Ahab ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Yɛrekɔ ɔko yi, mɛsakra me ho sɛnea obiara nhu me, nanso wo de, wobɛhyɛ wʼahentade.” Enti Ahab sesaa ne ho, na wɔkɔɔ ɔko no.
Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũtoonya mbaara-inĩ ndĩĩgarũrĩte ndikamenyeke no wee wĩkĩre nguo cia ũthamaki.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩgarũra ndakamenyeke na agĩtoonya mbaara-inĩ.
30 Saa bere no, na Aramhene aka akyerɛ ne nteaseɛnamkafo no se, “Monkɔtow nhyɛ Israelhene nko ara so.”
Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Asuriata nĩathĩte anene ake a ngaari cia ita akameera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikarũe na mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, mũnini kana mũnene, tiga o mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.”
31 Enti bere a Aramhene nteaseɛnamkafo no huu Yehosafat sɛ ɔhyɛ nʼahentade no, wɔtaa no. Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Israelhene no ne no.” Nanso, Yehosafat teɛɛ mu frɛɛ Awurade sɛ ommegye no nkwa. Na Awurade yii nkurɔfo no ani fii ne so, de gyee no nkwa.
Rĩrĩa anene a mbũtũ cia ngaari cia ita moonire Jehoshafatu magĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe mũthamaki wa Isiraeli” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩgarũrũka mamũtharĩkĩre, no Jehoshafatu agĩkaya, nake Jehova akĩmũteithia. Ngai akĩmaroria na kũngĩ, makĩmweherera,
32 Bere a nteaseɛnamkafo no huu sɛ ɔnyɛ Israelhene no, wogyaee no taa.
nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa anene a ngaari cia ita moonire atĩ tiwe warĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, magĩtiga gũthingatana nake.
33 Na Aram sraani bi de anibiannaso totow nʼagyan guu Israel asraafo no mu, maa bɛmma no bi kɔwɔɔ Israelhene nkatabo ahyiae wɔ ne mmotuam. Ahab teɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ nteaseɛnamkafo no se, “Momfa me mfi ha, na wɔapira me pira bɔne.”
No mũndũ ũmwe akĩgeeta ũta wake, agĩikia mũguĩ o ro ũguo, naguo ũkĩratha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli o gatagatĩ-inĩ ka magathĩkanĩrio ma nguo yake ya mbaara. Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra mũtwarithia wa ngaari ya ita atĩrĩ, “Garũra ngaari ũndute mbaara-inĩ. Nĩndagurario.”
34 Ɔko no kɔɔ so da mu no nyinaa. Ahab kotwerii ne teaseɛnam mu a nʼani kyerɛ Aramfo no de kosii anwummere. Na ɛyɛɛ sɛnea owia rekɔtɔ no, owui.
Nayo mbaara ĩkĩneneha mũthenya wothe, na mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩtiirania ngaari-inĩ yake ya mbaara angʼetheire Asuriata o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Narĩo riũa rĩgĩthũa-rĩ, agĩkua.
