1 Ahab babarima Yoram na ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Israel ɛberɛ a na Yudahene Yehosafat adi adeɛ mfeɛ dunwɔtwe wɔ Yuda no. Ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Samaria mfeɛ dumienu.
Na rĩrĩ, Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa Jehoshafatu, mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩathana mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
2 Ɔyɛɛ Awurade ani so bɔne. Nanso, na nʼamumuyɛ no nte sɛ nʼagya ne ne maame deɛ no. Ɔsɛee Baal adum kronkron a nʼagya siiɛ no.
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, no ti ta ũrĩa ithe na nyina meekĩte. We nĩeheririe ihiga rĩrĩa rĩamũrĩirwo Baali rĩrĩa rĩakĩtwo nĩ ithe.
3 Nanso ɔtoaa ahonisom so, sɛdeɛ Nebat babarima Yeroboam dii Israelfoɔ anim, ma wɔyɛɛ no.
No rĩrĩ, nĩarũmĩrĩire mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, marĩa eehirie na agĩtũma andũ a Isiraeli o nao meehie, na ndaigana kũmatiga.
4 Na Moabhene Mesa ne ne nkurɔfoɔ yɛn nnwan. Na wɔtua apeatoɔ a ɛyɛ nnwan mma ɔpeha ne nnwennini ɔpeha ho nwi ma Israelhene afe biara.
Na rĩrĩ, Mesha mũthamaki wa Moabi nĩarĩithagia ngʼondu na nĩarĩ atwaragĩre mũthamaki wa Isiraeli tũtũrũme 100,000 na guoya wa ndũrũme 100,000.
5 Nanso, Ahab wuo akyi no, Moabhene sɔre tiaa Israelhene.
No rĩrĩa Ahabu aakuire, mũthamaki wa Moabi akĩremera mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
6 Enti, ɔhene Yoram firii Samaria boaboaa Israel akodɔm ano.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ihinda rĩu Mũthamaki Joramu, akiuma Samaria na agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli othe.
7 Ɛkwan so no, ɔtoo nkra yi kɔmaa Yudahene Yehosafat sɛ, “Moabhene asɔre atia me. Wobɛboa me na me ne no ako anaa?” Na Yehosafat buaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na meremmoa wo. Wo ne me yɛ anuanom, na mʼakodɔm yɛ wo dea na wotumi di wɔn anim. Mpo mʼapɔnkɔ da wo da.”
Ningĩ agĩtũmĩra Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda ndũmĩrĩri ĩno: “Mũthamaki wa Moabi nĩanjũkĩrĩire akanemera. Nĩũgũthiĩ na niĩ tũkahũũrane na Moabi?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩngũthiĩ nawe, niĩ nawe tũrĩ ũndũ ũmwe, andũ akwa no ta andũ aku, na mbarathi ciakwa no ta mbarathi ciaku.”
8 Na Yehosafat bisaa sɛ, “Ɛkwan bɛn na yɛbɛfa so akɔ?” Yoram buaa sɛ, “Yɛbɛtoa wɔn afiri Edom ɛserɛ so.”
Jehoshafatu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Tũkũgera njĩra ĩrĩkũ tũkamatharĩkĩre?” Joramu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũkũgera njĩra ya werũ-inĩ wa Edomu.”
9 Edomhene ne nʼakodɔm kɔkaa wɔn ho, na asraadɔm mmiɛnsa no de nnanson twaa ntwahokwan a ɛfa ɛserɛ so no. Nanso, na nsuo nni hɔ ma mmarima no anaa wɔn mmoa.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akiumagara, marĩ na mũthamaki wa Juda, na wa Edomu. Thuutha wa gũthiũrũrũka mĩthenya mũgwanja-rĩ, thigari itiarĩ na maaĩ ma kũnyua kana maaĩ ma nyamũ iria maarĩ nacio.
10 Israelhene teaam bisaa sɛ, “Yɛnyɛ yɛn ho ɛdeɛn? Awurade de yɛn baasa aba ha sɛ Moabhene nni yɛn so.”
Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩatĩa! Kaĩ Jehova atwĩtĩte tũrĩ athamaki atatũ hamwe nĩgeetha atũneane kũrĩ Moabi?”
11 Nanso, Yudahene Yehosafat bisaa sɛ, “Enti Awurade odiyifoɔ biara nka yɛn ho ha? Sɛ wɔn mu bi wɔ ha a, yɛbɛtumi abisa Awurade deɛ yɛnyɛ.” Ɔhene Yoram mpanimfoɔ no mu baako kaa sɛ, “Safat babarima Elisa wɔ ha. Na ɔyɛ Elia ɔboafoɔ.”
Nowe Jehoshafatu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũkũ gũtarĩ mũnabii wa Jehova ũrĩa ũngĩtũtuĩrĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova?” Nake mũtongoria ũmwe wa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Elisha mũrũ wa Shafatu arĩ gũkũ. Nĩwe waitagĩrĩria Elija maaĩ moko.”
12 Enti, Yehosafat kaa sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ, Awurade bɛtumi akasa afa ne so.” Na Israelhene, Yudahene ne Edomhene kɔɔ Elisa nkyɛn abisa.
Jehoshafatu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩ hamwe nake.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli marĩ na Jehoshafatu na mũthamaki wa Edomu magĩikũrũka kũrĩ Elisha.
13 Elisa ka kyerɛɛ Israelhene sɛ, “Wo ho nhia me. Kɔ wʼagya ne wo maame adiyifoɔ abosonsomfoɔ no nkyɛn.” Nanso, ɔhene Yoram kaa sɛ, “Dabi! Na ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔfrɛɛ yɛn ahemfo baasa yi baa ha, sɛ Moabhene nsɛe yɛn!”
Elisha akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ũhoro ũrĩkũ nawe? Thiĩ kũrĩ anabii a thoguo na anabii a nyũkwa.” Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, tũtingĩthiĩ nĩ ũndũ nĩ Jehova ũtwĩtĩte ithuĩ athamaki atatũ nĩguo atũneane kũrĩ Moabi.”
14 Na Elisa buaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade Otumfoɔ a mesom no te ase yi, sɛ ɛnyɛ Yudahene Yehosafat a mebu no a, anka merenha me ho wɔ wo ho.
Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa niĩ ndungatagĩra, tiga nĩ ũndũ wa gũconokera Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, niĩ ndingĩakwĩhũgũrĩra o na kana nyone ta wĩ ho.
15 Afei, ma obi a ɔbɛtumi abɔ sankuo mmra.” Ɛberɛ a wɔrebɔ sankuo no, Awurade tumi baa Elisa so,
No rĩrĩ, ndeherai mũhũũri wa kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto.” O rĩrĩa mũhũũri wa kĩnanda aahũraga-rĩ, guoko kwa Jehova gũkĩgĩa igũrũ rĩa Elisha
16 ma ɔkaa sɛ, “Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: Saa bɔnhwa a emu nsuo awe yi, wɔde nsuo bɛhyɛ no ma.
nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Enjai mĩtaro ĩiyũre gĩtuamba gĩkĩ.
17 Worenhunu mframa anaa osuo sɛdeɛ Awurade ka no, nanso saa bɔnhwa yi, wɔbɛhyɛ no nsuo ma. Mobɛnya bi ama mo ho, mo anantwie ne mo mmoa a aka no.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mũtikuona rũhuho kana mbura, no rĩrĩ, gĩtuamba gĩkĩ nĩgĩkũiyũra maaĩ, na inyuĩ, na ngʼombe cianyu na nyamũ icio ingĩ cianyu mũmanyue.
18 Na yei yɛ ade kumaa bi ma Awurade. Ɔbɛma moadi Moab akodɔm so nkonim.
Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ mũhũthũ maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; na ningĩ nĩekũneana Moabi moko-inĩ manyu.
19 Mobɛdi wɔn nkuropɔn papa so nkonim, mpo, nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no. Mobɛtwitwa wɔn nnua nyinaa agu. Mobɛsisi wɔn nsuo aniwa, na mode aboɔ asɛe wɔn nsase pa.”
Nĩmũkangʼaũrania itũũra rĩothe rĩirigĩirwo na rũthingo rwa hinya, na itũũra rĩothe inene. Nĩmũgatema mũtĩ wothe mwega, na mũthike ithima ciothe, na mũthũkangie mĩgũnda yothe mĩega na mahiga.”
20 Na adeɛ kyeeɛ; ɛduruu ɛberɛ a wɔbɔ anɔpa afɔdeɛ no, nsuo puee prɛko pɛ. Na ɛtene firii Edom, na ankyɛre biara na nsuo abu baabiara.
Rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ, ta ihinda rĩrĩa rĩrutagwo igongona, maaĩ magĩtherera kuuma mwena wa Edomu! Naguo bũrũri ũcio ũkĩiyũra maaĩ.
21 Ɛberɛ a Moabfoɔ tee sɛ akodɔm mmiɛnsa reba wɔn so no, wɔn nso boaboaa mmarima a wɔbɛtumi ako, mmɔfra ne mpanin ano, de wɔn sisii wɔn ahyeɛ so.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Moabi othe nĩmaiguĩte atĩ athamaki acio nĩmokĩte kũrũa nao; nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ mũrũme wothe, mwĩthĩ na mũkũrũ, ũrĩa ũngĩahotire gũkuua indo cia mbaara, agĩĩtwo na makĩigwo mũhaka-inĩ.
22 Na adeɛ kyeeɛ a wɔsɔreeɛ no, na owia no abɔ wɔ nsuo no so, ama ani abere sɛ mogya.
Rĩrĩa mookĩrire rũciinĩ tene-rĩ, riũa nĩrĩarĩte maaĩ-inĩ macio igũrũ. Andũ a Moabi marĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ makĩona maaĩ maarĩ matune ta thakame.
23 Moabfoɔ no teaam sɛ, “Ɛyɛ mogya. Akodɔm mmiɛnsa no atwa wɔn ho ako, akunkum wɔn ho wɔn ho! Momma yɛnkɔfo asadeɛ no!”
Nao makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩrĩa nĩ thakame! Athamaki acio no nginya makorwo nĩmarũĩte na makooragana o ene. Andũ a Moabi, nĩtũthiĩi tũgatahe indo!”
24 Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Israelfoɔ nsraban mu no, Israel akodɔm gyee bum, kɔtoaa Moabfoɔ, ma wɔdwaneeɛ. Israel akodɔm no taa wɔn kɔduruu Moab asase so. Wɔgu Moabfoɔ no so nyinaa no, na wɔresɛe wɔn nneɛma.
No rĩrĩa andũ a Moabi mookire kũu kambĩ-inĩ cia Isiraeli-rĩ, Isiraeli makĩarahũka na makĩhũũrana nao o nginya andũ a Moabi makĩũra. Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtharĩkĩra bũrũri ũcio na makĩũraga andũ a Moabi.
25 Wɔsɛee wɔn nkuro akɛseɛ, de aboɔ kataa wɔn nsase pa so, sisii asutire nyinaa, twitwaa nnua pa nyinaa. Kir-Haraset nko ara na ɛkaeɛ, na ɛno mpo, wɔto hyɛɛ so.
Nao makĩananga matũũra, na o mũndũ agĩikia ihiga mũgũnda-inĩ wothe ũrĩa warĩ mwega, o nginya ĩkĩiyũra mahiga. Ningĩ magĩthika ithima ciothe, na magĩtema mũtĩ o wothe mwega. Itũũra rĩa Kiriharesethu no rĩo rĩatigarire rĩtarĩ imomore mahiga, no arũme maarĩ na igũtha o narĩo makĩrĩrigiicĩria, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
26 Ɛberɛ a Moabhene hunuu sɛ ɔredi nkoguo no, ɔdii nʼakofoɔ ahanson anim, miaa wɔn ho, pɛɛ sɛ wɔpem fa atamfoɔ no nsraban a ɛbɛn Edomhene no mu, nanso wɔantumi.
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Moabi onire atĩ mbaara nĩyamũhatĩrĩria-rĩ, agĩthiĩ na andũ magana mũgwanja marĩ na hiũ cia njora makarũe na mũthamaki wa Edomu, no matiahotire.
27 Enti, ɔfaa ne babarima panin a anka ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene no, de no bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ afasuo no ho. Yei enti, abufuo kɛseɛ baa Israel so, na wɔsane wɔn akyi kɔɔ wɔn ankasa asase so.
