18 Yehosafat nyaa ahonyadeɛ ne animuonyam pii,+ nanso ɔmaa ne busuani kɔwaree wɔ Ahab fie.+ 2 Enti mfeɛ bi akyi no, ɔkɔɔ Ahab nkyɛn wɔ Samaria,+ na Ahab de nnwan ne anantwie bebree bɔɔ afɔreɛ maa ɔne nnipa a wɔka ne ho no. Na ɔne no kae ara* sɛ ɔne no nkɔ Ramot-Gilead so.+ 3 Asɛm a Israel hene Ahab bisaa Yuda hene Yehosafat ne sɛ: “Wo ne me bɛkɔ Ramot-Gilead so anaa?” Ɛnna ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Me ne wo nyinaa yɛ nipa baako, na me man ne wo man nso yɛ baako, enti yɛtaa w’akyi wɔ ɛko no mu.”

4 Nanso Yehosafat ka kyerɛɛ Israel hene sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, bisa Yehowa anom asɛm ansa.”+ 5 Ɛnna Israel hene boaboaa adiyifoɔ mmarima 400 ano, na ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ: “Yɛne Ramot-Gilead nkɔko anaa mennyae?” Na wɔkaa sɛ: “Kɔ, na nokorɛ Nyankopɔn no de wɔn bɛhyɛ ɔhene nsa.”

6 Ɛnna Yehosafat bisaa sɛ: “Yehowa diyifoɔ biara nni ha anaa?+ Yɛmma ɔno nso mmisa mma yɛn.”+ 7 Na Israel hene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ: “Baako da so wɔ hɔ+ a yɛbɛtumi ama ɔno nso abisa Yehowa anom asɛm ama yɛn, nanso mempɛ n’asɛm koraa ɛfiri sɛ ɔnhyɛɛ me ho nkɔm pa biara da; me ho nkɔm bɔne nko ara na daa ɔhyɛ.+ Ɔno ne Yimla ba Mikaia.” Nanso Yehosafat ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Mma ɔhene nnka saa.”

8 Enti Israel hene frɛɛ ahemfie mpanimfoɔ no baako, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Yɛ ntɛm frɛ Yimla ba Mikaia brɛ me.”+ 9 Saa berɛ no, na Israel hene ne Yuda hene Yehosafat tete wɔn nhennwa so hyehyɛ wɔn ahentaadeɛ wɔ Samaria kuro pono ano ayuporobea hɔ, na adiyifoɔ no nyinaa gyinagyina wɔn anim rehyɛ nkɔm. 10 Na Kenaana ba Sedekia de dadeɛ yɛɛ mmɛn, na ɔkaa sɛ: “Deɛ Yehowa aka nie, ‘Wei na wode bɛpempem* Siriafoɔ no de akɔsi sɛ wobɛtɔre wɔn ase.’” 11 Adiyifoɔ nkaeɛ no nyinaa nso hyehyɛɛ nkɔm korɔ no ara sɛ: “Kɔ Ramot-Gilead so, na wobɛdi nkonim;+ Yehowa de wɔn bɛhyɛ ɔhene nsa.”

12 Na deɛ wɔsomaa no sɛ ɔnkɔfrɛ Mikaia mmra no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Hwɛ! Adiyifoɔ no nyinaa aka asɛmpa akyerɛ ɔhene, enti mesrɛ wo, ma w’asɛm nyɛ sɛ wɔn deɛ no,+ na ka asɛmpa.”+ 13 Nanso Mikaia kaa sɛ: “Sɛ́ Yehowa te ase yi, deɛ me Nyankopɔn bɛka no, ɛno ara na me nso mɛka.”+ 14 Berɛ a ɔbɛduruu ɔhene anim no, ɔhene bisaa no sɛ: “Mikaia, yɛne Ramot-Gilead nkɔko anaa mennyae?” Ɛhɔ ara na ɔbuaa ɔhene sɛ: “Monkɔ na mobɛdi nkonim; wɔde wɔn bɛhyɛ mo nsa.” 15 Ɛnna ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Mprɛ ahe na wopɛ sɛ mema woka ntam sɛ nokorɛ nko ara na wobɛka no Yehowa din mu akyerɛ me?” 16 Ɛnna afei ɔkaa sɛ: “Hwɛ, mehu Israel sɛ wɔn nyinaa ahwete wɔ mmepɔ no so sɛ nnwan a wɔnni hwɛfoɔ.+ Yehowa se: ‘Weinom nni wura. Enti ma obiara nsan nkɔ ne fie asomdwoeɛ mu.’”

17 Ɛnna Israel hene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ: “Ɛnyɛ asɛm a mekaeɛ no na ɛda hɔ yi, sɛ ‘ɔrenhyɛ me ho nkɔm pa, na mmom nkɔm bɔne’?”+

18 Ɛnna Mikaia kaa sɛ: “Afei montie Yehowa anom asɛm: Mehuu Yehowa sɛ ɔte n’ahennwa so+ a ɔsoro asafodɔm nyinaa+ gyinagyina ne nifa ne ne benkum.+ 19 Na Yehowa bisaa sɛ, ‘Hwan na ɔbɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Israel hene Ahab ama no akɔdi nkoguo wɔ Ramot-Gilead?’ Afei wei ka sei, na wei nso aka sei. 20 Ɛnna honhom* bi+ bɛgyinaa Yehowa anim kaa sɛ: ‘Me na mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa no.’ Yehowa bisaa no sɛ, ‘Ɛkwan bɛn na wobɛfa so?’ 21 Ɔno nso buaa sɛ, ‘Mɛkɔ akɔyɛ atorɔ honhom wɔ n’adiyifoɔ nyinaa anom.’ Ɛnna Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, ‘Wobɛtumi adaadaa no ampa; deɛ worekɔyɛ no, ɛbɛyɛ yie. Kɔ na kɔyɛ saa.’ 22 Enti hu sɛ Yehowa de atorɔ honhom na ahyɛ w’adiyifoɔ yi anom,+ nanso mmusuo na Yehowa aka afa wo ho.”

23 Ɛnna Kenaana ba Sedekia+ twe bɛn Mikaia,+ na ɔbɔɔ no sotorɔ+ bisaa no sɛ: “Ɛhefa na Yehowa honhom nam sian me ho ne wo bɛkasaeɛ?”+ 24 Mikaia buaa no sɛ: “Ɛda a wobɛwura pia mu akɔhinta no na wobɛhunu baabi a ɛnam baeɛ.” 25 Ɛnna Israel hene kaa sɛ: “Momfa Mikaia nkɔma kuro sohwɛfoɔ Amon ne ɔhene ba Yoas. 26 Monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ: ‘Deɛ ɔhene aka nie: “Momfa saa akoa yi nto afiase,+ na monte n’aduane* ne ne nsuo so nkɔsi sɛ mɛsan aba asomdwoeɛ mu.”’” 27 Ɛnna Mikaia kaa sɛ: “Sɛ wosan ba asomdwoeɛ mu paa a, ɛnneɛ na ɛnyɛ Yehowa na ɔne me kasaeɛ.”+ Na ɔka kaa ho sɛ: “Mo nyinaa moate bi.”

28 Enti Israel hene ne Yuda hene Yehosafat kɔɔ Ramot-Gilead so.+ 29 Ɛnna Israel hene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ: “Mɛsakra me ho akɔ akono, nanso wo deɛ, hyɛ w’ahentaadeɛ.” Enti Israel hene sakraa ne ho na wɔkɔɔ akono. 30 Ná Siria hene no ahyɛ ne nteaseɛnam so asahene no sɛ: “Mo ne kumaa anaa ɔkɛseɛ nnko, momfa mo ani nsi Israel hene nko ara so.” 31 Na berɛ a nteaseɛnam so asahene no huu Yehosafat pɛ, wɔkaa sɛ: “Israel hene no nie.” Enti wɔkɔɔ ne so sɛ wɔne no rekɔko. Ɛnna Yehosafat firii aseɛ su hwehwɛɛ ɔgyefoɔ,+ enti Yehowa boaa no, na ɛhɔ ara na Onyankopɔn maa wɔgyaee n’akyiri die. 32 Berɛ a nteaseɛnam so asahene no hunuu sɛ ɛnyɛ Israel hene no, ntɛm ara na wɔdanee wɔn ho, na wɔanni n’akyi bio.
