Yehosafat Ne Ahab

1Ɔko biara ansi Aram ne Israel ntam mfe abiɛsa. 2Na mfe abiɛsa no mu, ɔhene Yehosafat a odi ade wɔ Yuda kɔɔ Israelhene Ahab nkyɛn. 3Na Ahab abisa ne mpanyimfo se, “Moahu sɛ Aramfo da so te yɛn kurow Ramot Gilead mu ana? Nanso yɛnyɛɛ ho hwee!”

4Enti obisaa Yehosafat se, “Wobɛka me ho na yɛako atia Ramot Gilead ana?”

Na Yehosafat buaa ɔhene Ahab se, “Adɛn? Ɛyɛ asɛm a ɛda ne kwan mu. Wo ne me yɛ anuanom, na mʼakofo yɛ wo de sɛ wobɛka asɛm a wopɛ akyerɛ wɔn. Mpo, mʼapɔnkɔ da wo da.” 5Na Yehosafat ka kaa ho se, “Nea edi kan no, ma yemmisa Awurade hɔ afotu.”

6Enti ɔhene Ahab frɛɛ nʼadiyifo a wɔn dodow bɛyɛ ahannan no nyinaa, bisaa wɔn se, “Menkɔko ntia Ramot Gilead anaa mennkɔ?”

Wɔn nyinaa buae se, “Kɔ so! Awurade bɛma woadi nkonim anuonyam so.”

7Nanso Yehosafat bisae se, “Enti Awurade diyifo biara nso nni ha? Anka mepɛ sɛ mibisa no saa asɛm koro no ara.”

8Ɔhene Ahab buae se, “Awurade diyifo baako da so wɔ ha, nanso metan no. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ nkɔm bɔne na ɔhyɛ fa me ho. Ne din de Mikaia a ɔyɛ Imla babarima.”

Na Yehosafat kae se, “Nkasa saa. Momma yentie asɛm a ɔwɔ ka.”

9Enti Israelhene frɛɛ ne mpanyimfo no mu baako, ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ka wo ho kɔfa Imla babarima Mikaia bra.”

Mikaia Hyɛ Nkɔm Tia Ahab

10Israelhene Ahab ne Yudahene Yehosafat hyɛɛ wɔn ahemfo ntade, tenaa wɔn ahengua mu wɔ apongua a ɛbɛn Samaria kwan no ano. Saa bere no, na Ahab adiyifo no rehyɛ nkɔm wɔ wɔn anim. 11Na wɔn mu baako a ɔyɛ Kenaana babarima Sedekia de nnade yɛɛ mmɛn, na ɔdaa no adi se, “Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Mode saa mmɛn yi bɛwowɔ Aramfo yi ama wɔawuwu!”

12Adiyifo a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa penee so kae se, “Yiw, monkɔ Ramot-Gilead, na munkodi nkonim, efisɛ Awurade bɛma moadi nkonim.”

13Na ɔbɔfo a ɔkɔfaa Mikaia no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Tie, adiyifo no nyinaa hyɛ nkonimdi ho nkɔm ma ɔhene. Hwɛ sɛ wo ne wɔn adwene bɛyɛ baako, na wo nso, wobɛhyɛ nkonimdi ho nkɔm.”

14Nanso Mikaia buae se, “Mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, nea Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ menka no, ɛno na mɛka.”

15Bere a Mikaia beduu ahemfi no, Ahab bisaa no se, “Mikaia, yɛnkɔko ntia Ramot-Gilead anaa yɛnnkɔ?”

Na Mikaia buae se, “Monkɔ! Na Awurade bɛma ɔhene adi nkonim anuonyam so.”

16Ɔhene amma nʼano ansi, na obuaa no se, “Mpɛn ahe na menka nkyerɛ wo se, sɛ worekasa ama Awurade a, ka nokwasɛm?”

17Na Mikaia ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Anisoadehu mu, mihuu sɛ Israel abɔ apete mmepɔw no so, te sɛ nguan a wonni ɔhwɛfo. Na Awurade kae se, ‘Wɔakum wɔn wura. Ma wɔnkɔ fie asomdwoe mu.’ ”

18Israelhene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Manka saa ankyerɛ wo ana? Da biara saa na ɔyɛ. Ɔnhyɛ nkɔm pa biara sɛ atoro nkɔm na ɔhyɛ fa me ho.”

19Mikaia toaa so se, “Tie nea Awurade ka. Mihuu Awurade sɛ ɔte nʼahengua so a ne ɔsorofo asraafo nyinaa atwa ne ho ahyia wɔ ne nifa ne ne benkum so.” 20Na Awurade bisae se, “Hena na obetumi adaadaa Ahab, ama wakɔ ɔko atia Ramot Gilead, a ebetumi aba sɛ wobekum no wɔ hɔ?”

Wosusuw nsɛm ahorow bebree ho wɔ hɔ, 21kosii sɛ ne koraa no, honhom bi bɛnee Awurade kae se, “Metumi ayɛ!”

22Awurade bisae se, “Ɔkwan bɛn so na wobɛfa ayɛ eyi?”

Na honhom no buae se, “Mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Ahab adiyifo, ama wɔadi atoro.”

Awurade kae se, “Kɔ so yɛ, na wubedi nkonim.

23“Enti woahu sɛ Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifo no anom. Awurade adwene sɛ ɔde amanehunu bɛba wo so.”

24Afei Kenaana babarima Sedekia kɔɔ Mikaia so, kɔbɔɔ nʼani so. Obisaa no se, “Da bɛn na Awurade honhom fii me mu bɛkasa kyerɛɛ wo?”

25Na Mikaia buae se, “Ɛrenkyɛ biara, wubehu nokware no, bere a wubeguan akɔtetɛw kokoa mu dan bi mu.”

26Israelhene Ahab hyɛe se, “Monkyere Mikaia, na momfa no nkɔma Amon a ɔyɛ kurow no mu amrado, na momfa no nkɔ me babarima Yoas nkyɛn. 27Monka saa asɛm a efi ɔhene nkyɛn yi nkyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Fa saa ɔbarima yi to afiase. Mommma no aduan biara sɛ brodo ne nsu, kosi sɛ mefi akono bɛba asomdwoe mu.’ ”

28Nanso Mikaia buae se, “Sɛ wosan ba asomdwoe mu a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, Awurade amfa me so ankasa.” Na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wogyinagyina hɔ, atwa ne ho ahyia no se, “Saa asɛm a maka yi, monhyɛ no nsow.”

Ahab Wu

29Na Israelhene ne Yudahene Yehosafat dii wɔn asraafo anim, kɔtow hyɛɛ Ramot-Gilead so. 30Afei, ɔhene Ahab ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Yɛrekɔ ɔko yi, mɛsakra me ho, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obiara renhu me. Nanso, wo de, hyɛ wʼahentade.” Enti Ahab sakraa ne ho, na wɔkɔɔ ɔko no.

31Saa bere no, na Aramhene aka akyerɛ ne nteaseɛnamkafo aduasa abien no sɛ, “Monkɔtow nhyɛ Israelhene nko ara so!” 32Enti bere a Aramhene nteaseɛnamkafo no huu Yehosafat sɛ ɔhyɛ nʼahentade no, wɔtaa no. Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Israelhene no ne no.” Nanso, bere a Yehosafat teɛɛ mu no, 33nteaseɛnamkafo no huu sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔno ne Israelhene no nti, wogyaw nʼakyidi.

34Aram sraani bi de anibiannaso tow agyan kyerɛɛ Israel asraafo no so, maa ɛkɔwɔɔ Israelhene wɔ ne nkatabo ahyiae so. Ahab teɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ ne teaseɛnamkafo no se, “Fa me fi ha ntɛm, na wɔapira me pa ara.” 35Ɔko no kɔɔ so saa ara da mu no nyinaa, na wɔde Ahab twerii biribi wɔ ne teaseɛnam mu a nʼani kyerɛ Aramfo no. Mogya tuu no fi nʼapirakuru no mu, guu teaseɛnam no mu, na onwini dwoe no, owui. 36Onwini reyɛ adwo no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu faa asraafo no nyinaa mu se: “Ɔko no aba awiei. Monsan nkɔ fie!”

37Na ɔhene no wui no, wɔde nʼamu no kɔɔ Samaria, kosiee no wɔ hɔ. 38Na wɔhoroo ne teaseɛnam no ho wɔ asubura bi a ɛwɔ Samaria a nguamanfo guare hɔ, na akraman bɛtaforoo ɔhene no mogya no, sɛnea Awurade aka ato hɔ no.

39Nsɛm a ɛfa Ahab ahenni ho ne asonse ahemfi ho asɛm ne nkurow a ɔkyekyeree nyinaa no, wɔakyerɛw agu Israel Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu. 40Bere a Ahab wui no, wosiee no wɔ nʼagyanom mu. Na ne babarima Ahasia dii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.

Yehosafat Di Hene Wɔ Yuda

41Asa babarima Yehosafat bedii Yuda so bere a na Ahab adi ade wɔ Israel ne mfe anan so no. 42Odii ade no, na wadi mfe aduasa anum, na odii ade Yerusalem mfirihyia aduonu anum. Na ne na din de Asuba a ɔyɛ Silhi babea. 43Na Yehosafat yɛ ɔhene papa a odii nʼagya Asa anammɔn akyi. Ɔyɛɛ ade a ɛsɔ Awurade ani. Nanso, nʼahenni mu no, wansɛe abosonnan a na nnipa kɔbɔ afɔre, kɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ hɔ no. 44Yehosafat ne Israelhene tenaa ase asomdwoe mu.

45Nsɛm a ɛfa Yehosafat ahenni ho nkae no, faako a ne tumi kodui ne ako a odii no nyinaa, wɔankyerɛw angu Yuda Ahemfo Abakɔsɛm Nhoma no mu. 46Ɔpam abosomfi so nguamanfo a na wogu so bɔ aguaman fii nʼagya Asa bere so no nyinaa. 47Saa bere no, na ɔhene nni Edom gye kurow no sohwɛfo nko.

48Yehosafat yɛɛ aguadihyɛn bebree sɛ ɛnkɔ Ofir nkɔhwehwɛ sikakɔkɔɔ. Nanso ahyɛn no antumi anyɛ adwuma. Ɛsɛee wɔ Esion-Geber. 49Saa bere no, Ahab babarima Ahasia susuw ho kyerɛɛ Yehosafat se, “Ma me mmarima ne wo mmarima nkɔ po so akwan nsrahwɛ.” Nanso Yehosafat ampene so.

50Yehosafat wui no, wosiee no nʼagyanom nkyɛn wɔ Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Yehoram na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene.
