22 ¹Mfe abiɛsa mu no, ɔko biara ansi Aram ne Israel ntam. ²Nanso afe a ɛto so abiɛsa mu no, Yuda hene Yehosafat sian kɔɔ Israel hene nkyɛn. ³Israel hene ka kyerɛɛ ne nkoa se, “Munim sɛ Ramot-Gilead yɛ yɛn de, nanso yɛnyɛ hwee sɛ yɛbɛgye afi Aram hene nsam?” ⁴Obisaa Yehosafat se, “Wo ne me bɛkɔ akɔko atia Ramot-Gilead anaa?” Yehosafat ka kyerɛɛ Israel hene se, “Sɛnea woyɛ no, saa ara na meyɛ; me nkurɔfo te sɛ wo nkurɔfo, mʼapɔnkɔ te sɛ wʼapɔnkɔ.”

⁵Afei Yehosafat ka kyerɛɛ Israel hene se, “Mesrɛ wo, di kan bisa yɛn Agya asɛm.”

⁶Enti Israel hene boaboaa adiyifo no ano, bɛyɛ mmarima ahanan, na obisaa wɔn se, “Mɛkɔ akɔko atia Ramot-Gilead anaa, anaasɛ mentwe me ho?” Wɔbuae se, “Foro kɔ, efisɛ Otumfo Agya no de bɛhyɛ ɔhene nsa.”

⁷Nanso Yehosafat bisae se, “Yɛn Agya odiyifo bi nka ha a yɛbɛbisa no anaa?”

⁸Israel hene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Onipa baako bi aka a yebetumi afa ne so abisa yɛn Agya, nanso mikyiri no—ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara mfa me ho da, gye amanehunu nko ara: ɔne Imla ba Mikaia.” Yehosafat kae se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhene ka saa.”

⁹Afei Israel hene frɛɛ ne mpanyimfo no mu baako ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔfa Imla ba Mikaia bra ntɛm.”

¹⁰Israel hene ne Yuda hene Yehosafat hyɛɛ wɔn ahentade, na wɔn mu biara tenaa nʼahengua so wɔ awiporowbea a ɛwɔ Samaria kurow ɛpono ano no, bere a adiyifo no nyinaa rehyɛ nkɔm wɔ wɔn anim. ¹¹Kenaana ba Sedekia yɛɛ dade mmɛn, na ɔkae se, “Onyankopɔn se: ‘Eyinom na wode bɛwɔ Aramfo no kosi sɛ wɔbɛsɛe.’” ¹²Adiyifo no nyinaa hyɛɛ nkɔm koro no ara se, “Foro kɔ Ramot-Gilead na di nkonim; Onyankopɔn de bɛhyɛ ɔhene nsa.”

¹³Ɔbɔfo a wɔsomaa no sɛ ɔnkɔfrɛ Mikaia no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hwɛ, adiyifo no nyinaa de ano koro rehyɛ ɔhene bɔ sɛ ɔbɛdi nkonim. Ma wʼasɛm nhyia wɔn de—hyɛ no nkonim ho bɔ.”

¹⁴Nanso Mikaia kae se, “Sɛ yɛn Agya te ase yi, nea yɛn Agya bɛka akyerɛ me no, ɛno na mɛka.”

¹⁵Bere a ɔbaa no, ɔhene bisaa no se, “Mikaia, yɛbɛkɔ akɔko atia Ramot-Gilead anaa, anaasɛ yɛntwe yɛn ho?” Ɔbuae se, “Foro kɔ na di nkonim; yɛn Agya de bɛhyɛ ɔhene nsa.”

¹⁶Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mpɛn ahe na ɛsɛ sɛ mema woka ntam wɔ yɛn Agya din mu sɛ wobɛka nokware nko ara akyerɛ me?”

¹⁷Ɔkae se, “Mehuu Israel nyinaa sɛ wɔabɔ ahwete mmepɔw so te sɛ nguan a wonni oguanhwɛfo. Na yɛn Agya kae se, ‘Eyinom nni wura; ma wɔn mu biara nsan nkɔ ne fi asomdwoe mu.’”

¹⁸Israel hene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Manka ankyerɛ wo sɛ ɔrenhyɛ nkɔm pa biara mfa me ho, gye amanehunu nko ara?”

¹⁹Mikaia kae se, “Enti tie yɛn Agya asɛm: Mehuu yɛn Agya sɛ ɔte nʼahengua so, na ɔsoro asafo nyinaa gyinagyina ne ho, ne nifa ne ne benkum.

²⁰Na yɛn Agya kae se, ‘Hena na ɔbɛdaadaa Ahab ama wakɔ Ramot-Gilead akɔhwe wɔ hɔ?’ Obi kaa eyi, na obi nso kaa ɛno.

²¹Afei honhom bi baa anim bɛgyinaa yɛn Agya anim kae se, ‘Mɛdaadaa no.’

²²Na yɛn Agya bisae se, ‘Ɔkwan bɛn so?’ Ɔkae se, ‘Mɛkɔ akɔyɛ atoro honhom wɔ nʼadiyifo nyinaa anom.’ Na yɛn Agya kae se, ‘Wobɛdaadaa no na woadi nkonim. Kɔ na kɔyɛ saa.’

²³Enti afei yɛn Agya de atoro honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifo yi nyinaa anom, na yɛn Agya aka sɛ amanehunu bɛba wo so.”

²⁴Afei Kenaana ba Sedekia tuu so kɔbɔɔ Mikaia asotiw, na ɔkae se, “Ɔkwan bɛn so na Onyankopɔn Honhom fi me mu kɔɔ wo nkyɛn sɛ ɔbɛkasa akyerɛ wo?”

²⁵Mikaia kae se, “Ɛda a wobɛkɔ dan a ɛwɔ mu hɔ akɔsuma wo ho no, na wobɛhu.”

²⁶Israel hene kae se, “Monkyere Mikaia na momfa no nsan nkɔ kurow amrado Amon ne ɔhene ba Yoas nkyɛn, ²⁷na monka se, ‘Ɔhene se: Momfa onipa yi nto afiase, na mommma no hwee gye brodo ne nsu nko ara nkosi sɛ mɛsan aba dwoodwoo.’”

²⁸Mikaia kae se, “Sɛ wosan ba dwoodwoo koraa a, ɛnde yɛn Agya mfaa me so nkasae.” Na ɔkae se, “Muntie, mo aman nyinaa!”

Ahab Hwe ase sɛnea Agya no Kae Dii Kan no

²⁹Enti Israel hene ne Yuda hene Yehosafat foro kɔɔ Ramot-Gilead. ³⁰Israel hene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Mɛsakra me ho akɔ ɔko no mu, na wo de, hyɛ wʼahentade.” Enti Israel hene sakraa ne ho kɔɔ ɔko no mu.

³¹Aram hene ahyɛ ne nteaseɛnam so asahene aduasa abien no se, “Mo ne obiara nnko, ketewa anaa kɛse—gye Israel hene nko ara.”

Ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ ne nteaseɛnam kafo se, “Dan na fa me fi ɔko no mu—wɔapira me.” ³⁵Ɔko no yɛɛ den da no, na wɔmaa ɔhene gyinaa ne nteaseɛnam mu de nʼani kyerɛɛ Aramfo no. Anwummere no, owui. Ne kuru no mu mogya atene akɔ nteaseɛnam no ase. ³⁶Owia rekɔtɔ no, nteɛm bi faa nsraban no mu se, “Obiara nkɔ ne kurow mu, obiara nkɔ nʼasase so!”

³⁷Enti ɔhene wui, na wɔde no baa Samaria, na wosiee ɔhene no wɔ Samaria. ³⁸Wɔhohoroo nteaseɛnam no wɔ Samaria ɔtare ho, na nkraman tafiri ne mogya, na nguamanfo guaree wɔ hɔ, sɛnea yɛn Agya kae no.

⁴¹Asa ba Yehosafat bɛyɛɛ Yuda hene wɔ Israel hene Ahab ahenni afe a ɛto so anan mu. ⁴²Bere a Yehosafat bɛyɛɛ ɔhene no, na wadi mfe aduasa anum, na odii hene wɔ Yerusalem mfe aduonu anum. Ne na din de Asuba, Silhi babea. ⁴³Odii nʼagya Asa kwan no nyinaa so, na wamfi so da, na ɔyɛɛ nea ɛteɛ wɔ yɛn Agya ani so. Nanso abosonnan a ɛwɔ nkoko so no da so gyina hɔ; nkurɔfo no kɔɔ so bɔɔ afɔre na wɔhyew aduhwam wɔ hɔ. ⁴⁴Yehosafat nso ne Israel hene yɛɛ asomdwoe.
