Mgbe afọ ole na ole gasịrị, Jehoshafat gara Sameria ileta Ehab. Ehab gbuuru ya na ndị ya na ha yi ọtụtụ atụrụ na ehi, ọ kpọrọ oriri kwagide ya ka o buso Ramọt Gilead agha.
3 Ahab bisaa no sɛ, “Wobɛboa me na mako atia Ramot-Gilead anaa?” Na Yehosafat buaa sɛ, “Adɛn, akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho. Me ne wo yɛ anuanom, na mʼakodɔm nso, wotumi kyerɛ wɔn deɛ wɔnyɛ. Yɛbɛboa wo, ama woako dodo.”
Ehab eze Izrel jụrụ Jehoshafat eze Juda, sị, “Ị ga-eso m buso Ramọt Gilead agha?” Jehoshafat zaghachiri, “Otu m dị ka gị onwe gị dị, ndị nke m bụkwa ndị gị. Anyị ga-eso gị gaa agha.”
4 Afei, Yehosafat kaa sɛ, “Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ma yɛmmisa Awurade hɔ afotuo.”

5 Enti, ɔhene Ahab frɛɛ nʼadiyifoɔ ahanan bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Yɛnkɔko ntia Ramot-Gilead anaasɛ yɛnnkɔ?” Wɔn nyinaa buaa sɛ, “Monkɔ na Onyankopɔn bɛma moadi nkonim.”
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 Nanso, Yehosafat bisaa sɛ, “Na Awurade odiyifoɔ biara nni ha? Mepɛ sɛ mebisa no asɛm korɔ 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?”
7 Ɔhene Ahab buaa sɛ, “Ɔbaako da so wɔ ha a ɔbɛtumi abisa Awurade ama me, nanso, mekyiri no. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm biara sɛ nsɛm a ɛnyɛ. Ne din de Mikaia. Imla babarima ne no.” Yehosafat kaa sɛ, “Nkasa saa. Ma yɛntie 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.”
8 Enti, Israelhene frɛɛ ne mpanimfoɔ no baako ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛ ntɛm kɔfrɛ Imla babarima Mikaia brɛ me.”
Mgbe ahụ, eze Izrel kpọrọ otu onye na-ejere ya ozi sị ya, “Mee ọsịịsọ kpọta Maikaya nwa Imla nʼebe a.”
9 Israelhene Ahab ne Yudahene Yehosafat hyehyɛɛ wɔn ahentadeɛ yuu tenatenaa wɔn ahennwa so wɔ ayuporobea a ɛbɛn Samaria ɛpono ano hɔ. Na Ahab adiyifoɔ no nyinaa 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.
10 Na wɔn mu baako a ɔyɛ Kenaana babarima Sedekia de nnadeɛ yɛɛ mmɛn, na ɔdaa no adi sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Mode saa mmɛn yi bɛwowɔ Aramfoɔ 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.’”
11 Adiyifoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa penee so, kaa sɛ, “Aane, monkɔ Ramot-Gilead, na monkɔdi nkonim, ɛfiri sɛ, 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.”
12 Ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔkɔfrɛɛ Mikaia no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hwɛ, adiyifoɔ no nyinaa hyɛ ɔhene no bɔ sɛ ɔbɛdi nkonim. Hwɛ sɛ wone wɔn bɛyɛ adwene, na hyɛ nkonimdie ho bɔ.”
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.”
13 Nanso, Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te aseɛ yi, deɛ Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no na mɛka.”
Ma Maikaya sịrị, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, aga m agwa ya naanị ihe Chineke m kwuru.”
14 Ɛberɛ a Mikaia bɛduruu ɔhene Ahab anim no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Mikaia, yɛnkɔko ntia Ramot-Gilead anaa yɛnnkɔ?” Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Monkɔko! Ɛbɛyɛ nkonimdie a ɛho wɔ nyam.”
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 Nanso, ɔhene no sɔɔ so sɛ, “Mpɛn ahe na menka sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a wobɛkasa ama Awurade no, ɛsɛ sɛ woka nokorɛ?”
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 Na Mikaia ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Anisoadehunu mu no, mehunuu sɛ Israel nyinaa abɔ apete wɔ mmepɔ no so sɛ nnwan a wɔnni ɔhwɛfoɔ. Na Awurade kaa sɛ, ‘Wɔakum wɔn wura. Fa wɔn kɔ efie asomdwoeɛ 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.’”
17 Israelhene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ, “Manka ankyerɛ wo? Daa, saa na ɔyɛ. Ɔnhyɛɛ nkɔm papa biara nkyerɛɛ me da. Nsɛm a ɛnyɛ dɛ na ɔka kyerɛ me.”
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 Mikaia toaa so sɛ, “Tie deɛ Awurade ka! Mehunuu sɛ Awurade te nʼahennwa so a ɔsoro asraadɔm nyinaa tete ne nifa ne ne benkum so.
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 Na Awurade bisaa sɛ, ‘Hwan na ɔbɛtumi adaadaa Israelhene Ahab ama wakɔtu Ramot-Gilead so sa na wɔakum no wɔ hɔ?’ “Adwenkyerɛ bebree baa ho,
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 kɔsii sɛ ne korakora no, honhom bi kɔɔ Awurade nkyɛn kɔkaa sɛ, ‘Mɛtumi ayɛ!’” Awurade bisaa sɛ, “‘Ɛkwan bɛn so na wobɛfa ayɛ yei.’”
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 Na honhom no buaa sɛ, “Mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Ahab adiyifoɔ, ama wɔadi atorɔ.” Awurade kaa sɛ, “Kɔ so yɛ, na wobɛdi nkonim.
“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 “Enti, woahunu sɛ Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifoɔ 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.”
23 Na Kenaana babarima Sedekia kɔɔ Mikaia so, kɔbɔɔ no sotorɔ bisaa sɛ, “Da bɛn na Awurade honhom gyaa me 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?”
24 Na Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Ɛrenkyɛre biara, wobɛhunu nokorɛ no wɔ ɛberɛ a wobɛdwane akɔtɛ kɔkoam dan bi mu.”
Maikaya zaghachiri, “Ị ga-achọpụta nke a nʼụbọchị ị ga-agbaba nʼime ime ụlọ izo onwe gị.”
25 Israelhene Ahab hyɛɛ sɛ, “Monkyere Mikaia, na momfa no nsane nkɔma Amon a ɔyɛ kuropɔn no so amrado ne me babarima Yoas.
Eze Izrel nyere iwu sị, “Jidenụ Maikaya kpụgara ya Amọn, onye na-achị obodo a, na Joash, nwa eze.
26 Monka saa asɛm a ɛfiri ɔhene nkyɛn yi nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Fa saa ɔbarima yi to afiase. Mommma no aduane biara sɛ burodo ne nsuo, kɔsi sɛ mɛfiri akono aba asomdwoeɛ 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.’”
27 Nanso, Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Sɛ woba asomdwoeɛ mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Awurade amfa me so ankasa!” Afei, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔgyinagyina hɔ no sɛ, “Monhwɛ asɛm a maka no yie.”
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 Enti, Israelhene ne Yudahene Yehosafat dii wɔn akodɔm anim, tuu Ramot-Gilead so sa.
Ya mere, eze Izrel na Jehoshafat eze Juda pụrụ gawa Ramọt Gilead.
29 Afei, ɔhene Ahab ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ, “Yɛrekɔ ɔko yi, mɛsesa me ho sɛdeɛ obiara renhunu me nanso, wo deɛ, wobɛhyɛ wʼahentadeɛ.” Enti, Ahab sesaa 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.
30 Saa ɛberɛ no, na ɔhene Aram aka akyerɛ ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ no sɛ, “Monkɔto nhyɛ Israelhene nko ara so.”
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 Enti, ɛberɛ a Aram nteaseɛnamkafoɔ no hunuu Yehosafat sɛ ɔhyɛ nʼahentadeɛ yuu no, wɔkɔɔ ne so. Wɔteaam sɛ, “Israelhene no na ɔte hɔ no.” Nanso, Yehosafat teaam frɛɛ Awurade sɛ ɔmmɛgye no nkwa. Na Awurade yii nkurɔfoɔ no ani firii ne so, de gyee no nkwa.
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 Ɛberɛ a nteaseɛnamkafoɔ no hunuu sɛ ɔnyɛ Israelhene no, wɔgyaee ne so taa.
nʼihi na mgbe ndị ọchịagha, na-achị ndị na-agba ụgbọ agha hụrụ na ọ bụghị eze Izrel, ha kwụsịrị ịchụso ya.
33 Na Aram ɔsraani bi de anibiannasoɔ totoo nʼagyan guu Israel akodɔm no mu, maa bɛmma no bi kɔwɔɔ Israelhene nkataboɔ ahyiaeɛ wɔ ne mmɔtoam. Ahab teaam kyerɛɛ nteaseɛnamkafoɔ no sɛ, “Momfa me mfiri ha, na wɔapira me pira bɔne.”
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 Ɔko no kɔɔ so da mu no nyinaa. Ahab kɔtweree ne teaseɛnam a nʼani kyerɛ Aramfoɔ no de kɔsii anwummerɛ. Na ɛyɛɛ sɛdeɛ owia rekɔtɔ no, ɔwuiɛ.
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.
