3 ¹Yuda hene Yehosafat adedi mfe dunwɔtwe so no, Ahab babarima Yoram bɛyɛɛ Israel hene wɔ Samaria, na odii hene mfe dumien. ²Ɔyɛɛ bɔne wɔ yɛn Agya ani so, nanso ɛnte sɛ nʼagya ne ne na, efisɛ oyii Baal bosomdum a nʼagya sii no firii hɔ. ³Nanso ɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ Nebat babarima Yeroboam a ɔmaa Israel yɛɛ bɔne no bɔne ahorow no; wantwe ne ho amfi ho.

⁴Moab hene Mesa yɛn nguan, na ɔde nguantenmma mpem ɔha ne adwennini mpem ɔha nhwi tua Israel hene tow. ⁵Nanso bere a Ahab wui no, Moab hene tew atua tiaa Israel hene. ⁶Enti saa bere no Ɔhene Yoram fii Samaria, na ɔboaboaa Israel nyinaa ano. ⁷Ɔkɔe, na ɔsomaa obi kɔɔ Yuda hene Yehosafat nkyɛn se, “Moab hene atew atua atia me. Wo ne me bɛkɔ akɔko atia Moab anaa?” Ɔbuaa se, “Mɛkɔ. Sɛnea woyɛ no, saa ara na meyɛ; me nkurɔfo te sɛ wo nkurɔfo, mʼapɔnkɔ te sɛ wʼapɔnkɔ.”

⁸Ɔbisaa se, “Ɛkwan bɛn so na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛfa kɔ?” Ɔbuaa se, “Ɛkwan a ɛfa Edom sare so no.”

⁹Israel hene ne Yuda hene ne Edom hene sii mu kɔe. Wɔfaa ɛkwan a ɛtwa kyinkyin so nnanson, na nsu biara nni hɔ mma asraafo no anaa mmoa a wɔdi wɔn akyi no. ¹⁰Israel hene kae se, “Due! Efisɛ yɛn Agya afrɛ ahemfo baasa yi sɛ ɔde wɔn bɛhyɛ Moab nsa ara kɛkɛ.” ^a a v10 Ɔhene a onni gyidi yi mpo, a ɔyɛ ntɛm bɔ afobɔ no, da so ka apam abusua no ho — ɔbɔ Agya a ɔmfa ne ho nto ne so no ara din.

¹¹Nanso Yehosafat bisae se, “Yɛn Agya odiyifo biara nni ha a yɛnam ne so abisa yɛn Agya?” Israel hene asomfo no mu baako buae se, “Safat babarima Elisa a na ɔhwie nsu gu Elia nsa so no wɔ ha.”

¹²Yehosafat kae se, “Yɛn Agya asɛm wɔ ne nkyɛn,” enti Israel hene ne Yehosafat ne Edom hene sian kɔɔ ne nkyɛn.

¹³Elisa bisaa Israel hene se, “Dɛn na ɛda me ne wo ntam? Kɔ wʼagya ne wo na adiyifo nkyɛn.” Ɔhene no kae se, “Dabi—yɛn Agya na wafrɛ ahemfo baasa yi sɛ ɔde wɔn bɛhyɛ Moab nsa.”

¹⁴Elisa kae se, “Sɛnea ɔsoro asafo Agya a mesom no te ase yi, sɛ ɛnyɛ sɛ mebu Yuda hene Yehosafat a, anka merenhwɛ wo, na merenni wo ho dwuma mpo. ¹⁵Afei momfa sankubɔfo bi mmrɛ me.” Bere a sankubɔfo no bɔɔ sanku no, yɛn Agya nsa baa ne so.

¹⁶Ɔkae se, “Sɛɛ na yɛn Agya se: Muntutu amoa nhyɛ bon yi ma. ¹⁷Efisɛ sɛɛ na yɛn Agya se: Morenhu mframa anaa osu, nanso nsu bɛhyɛ bon yi ma, na mobɛnom—mo ne mo anantwi ne mo mmoa. ¹⁸Eyi yɛ ade ketewa wɔ mʼani so; ɔde Moab nso bɛhyɛ mo nsa. ¹⁹Mobɛbubu kuropɔn biara a wɔabɔ ho ban ne kuro pa biara, mobɛtwitwa dua pa biara, mobɛsisiw nsu asuti biara, na mode abo bɛsɛe afuw pa biara.”

²⁰Anɔpa, bere a wɔbɔ aduan afɔre no, prɛko pɛ nsu fi Edom fam baa, na nsu hyɛɛ asase no ma.

²¹Moabfo nyinaa tee sɛ ahemfo no aba sɛ wɔrebɛko atia wɔn, enti wɔfrɛfrɛɛ mmarima a wɔadi mfe a wotumi kura akode ne wɔn a wɔsen saa no nyinaa; na wɔkɔgyinagyinaa ɔhye no so. ²²Wɔsɔree anɔpahema; owia hyerɛn guu nsu no so, na Moabfo huu sɛ nsu a ɛwɔ wɔn anim hɔ no bere sɛ mogya. ²³Wɔkae se, “Mogya! Ahemfo no ako, na wɔakunkum wɔn ho wɔn ho. Afei, Moab, momma yɛnkɔfom asade no!”

²⁴Nanso bere a wodu Israel nsraban no, Israelfo sɔre bɔɔ Moabfo no, na Moabfo no dwane fii wɔn anim. Israel kɔɔ so kɔɔ asase no so, na wokunkum Moabfo no wɔ ɛkwan no so. ²⁵Wobubuu nkurow no. Afuw pa biara so no, obiara too ɔbo guu so kosii sɛ ɛkataa so. Wosisiw nsu asuti biara, na wotwitwaa dua pa biara, na Kir-Hareset abo nko ara na ɛkaa hɔ; na wɔn a wɔde ntonto to abo no twaa ho hyiae, na wotow hyɛɛ so. ²⁶Bere a Moab hene huu sɛ ɔko no mu yɛ den ma no no, ɔfaa mmarima ahanson a wokura akofena sɛ wɔmfa wɔn ho nwura nkɔ Edom hene nkyɛn, nanso wɔantumi. ²⁷Enti ɔfaa ne babarima abakan a anka ɔbɛdi nʼade no, na ɔde no bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ ɔfasu no so. Abufuw kɛse baa Israel so, enti wɔtwee wɔn ho fii ne ho, na wɔsan kɔɔ wɔn asase so.
