Me man ne wo man nso yɛ baako. M’apɔnkɔ ne w’apɔnkɔ yɛ baako.”+
5 Nanso Yehosafat ka kyerɛɛ Israel hene sɛ: “Mesrɛ wo, bisa+ Yehowa anom asɛm ansa.”+ 6 Ɛnna Israel hene boaboaa adiyifo mmarima 400 ano, na obisaa wɔn sɛ: “Me ne Ramot-Gilead nkɔko anaa minnyae?” Na wɔkae sɛ: “Kɔ, na Yehowa de wɔn bɛhyɛ ɔhene nsa.”

9 Enti Israel hene frɛɛ ahemfi mpanyimfo no baako, na ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Yɛ ntɛm frɛ Yimla ba Mikaia brɛ me.”+ 10 Saa bere no, na Israel hene ne Yuda hene Yehosafat tete wɔn nhengua so hyehyɛ wɔn ahentaade wɔ Samaria kurow pon ano awiporowbea hɔ, na adiyifo no nyinaa gyinagyina wɔn anim rehyɛ nkɔm.+ 11 Na Kenaana ba Sedekia de dade yɛɛ mmɛn, na ɔkae sɛ: “Nea Yehowa aka ni, ‘Eyi na wode bɛpempem* Siriafo no de akosi sɛ wobɛtɔre wɔn ase.’” 12 Adiyifo nkae no nyinaa nso hyehyɛɛ nkɔm koro no ara sɛ: “Kɔ Ramot-Gilead so, na wubedi nkonim; Yehowa de wɔn bɛhyɛ ɔhene nsa.”
13 Na nea wɔsomaa no sɛ ɔnkɔfrɛ Mikaia mmra no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Hwɛ! Adiyifo no nyinaa aka asɛmpa akyerɛ ɔhene, enti mesrɛ wo, ma w’asɛm nyɛ sɛ wɔn de no, na ka asɛmpa.”+ 14 Nanso Mikaia kae sɛ: “Sɛ́ Yehowa te ase yi, nea Yehowa bɛka no, ɛno ara na me nso mɛka.” 15 Bere a obeduu ɔhene anim no, ɔhene bisaa no sɛ: “Mikaia, yɛne Ramot-Gilead nkɔko anaa yennyae?” Ɛhɔ ara na obuaa ɔhene sɛ: “Monkɔ na mubedi nkonim, na Yehowa de wɔn bɛhyɛ ɔhene nsa.” 16 Ɛnna ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ: “Mpɛn ahe na wopɛ sɛ mema woka ntam sɛ nokware nkutoo na wobɛka wɔ Yehowa din mu akyerɛ me?” 17 Ɛnna afei ɔkae sɛ: “Hwɛ, mihu Israel sɛ wɔn nyinaa ahwete wɔ mmepɔw no so+ sɛ nguan a wonni hwɛfo. Yehowa se: ‘Eyinom nni wura. Enti ma obiara nsan nkɔ ne fi asomdwoe mu.’”
18 Ɛnna Israel hene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ: “Ɛnyɛ asɛm a mekae no na ɛda hɔ yi, sɛ ‘ɔrenhyɛ me ho nkɔm pa, na mmom nkɔm bɔne’?”+
19 Ɛnna Mikaia kae sɛ: “Afei tie Yehowa anom asɛm: Mihuu Yehowa sɛ ɔte n’ahengua so+ a ɔsoro asafodɔm nyinaa gyinagyina ne nifa ne ne benkum.+ 20 Na Yehowa bisae sɛ, ‘Hena na ɔbɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Ahab ma wakodi nkogu wɔ Ramot-Gilead?’ Afei oyi ka sɛɛ, na oyi nso aka sɛɛ. 21 Ɛnna honhom* bi+ begyinaa Yehowa anim kae sɛ: ‘Me na mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa no.’ Yehowa bisaa no sɛ, ‘Ɔkwan bɛn na wobɛfa so?’ 22 Ɔno nso buae sɛ, ‘Mɛkɔ akɔyɛ atoro honhom wɔ n’adiyifo nyinaa anom.’+ Ɛnna Onyankopɔn kae sɛ, ‘Wubetumi adaadaa no ampa; nea worekɔyɛ no, ɛbɛyɛ yiye. Kɔ na kɔyɛ saa.’ 23 Enti hu sɛ Yehowa de atoro honhom na ahyɛ w’adiyifo yi nyinaa anom,+ nanso mmusu na Yehowa aka afa wo ho.”+
24 Ɛnna Kenaana ba Sedekia twiw bɛn Mikaia, na ɔbɔɔ no sotɔre bisaa no sɛ: “Ɛhefa na Yehowa honhom nam twaa me ho ne wo bɛkasae?”+ 25 Mikaia buaa no sɛ: “Ɛda a wobɛhyɛn pia mu akohintaw no na wubehu baabi a ɛnam bae.” 26 Ɛnna Israel hene kae sɛ: “Momfa Mikaia nkɔma kurow sohwɛfo Amon ne ɔhene ba Yoas. 27 Monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ: ‘Nea ɔhene aka ni: “Momfa saa akoa yi nto afiase,+ na montew n’aduan* ne ne nsu so nkosi sɛ mɛsan aba asomdwoe mu.”’” 28 Ɛnna Mikaia kae sɛ: “Sɛ wosan ba asomdwoe mu paa a, ɛnde na ɛnyɛ Yehowa na ɔne me kasae.”+ Na ɔka kaa ho sɛ: “Mo nyinaa moate bi.”
29 Enti Israel hene ne Yuda hene Yehosafat kɔɔ Ramot-Gilead so.+ 30 Ɛnna Israel hene ka kyerɛɛ Yehosafat sɛ: “Mɛsakra me ho akɔ akono, nanso wo de, hyɛ w’ahentaade.” Enti Israel hene sakraa ne ho+ na ɔkɔɔ akono. 31 Ná Siria hene no ahyɛ ne nteaseɛnam so asahene 32+ no sɛ: “Mo ne akumaa anaa ɔkɛse nnko, momfa mo ani nsi Israel hene nko ara so.” 32 Na bere a nteaseɛnam so asahene no huu Yehosafat pɛ, wɔkae sɛ: “Ampa, Israel hene no ni.” Enti wɔkɔɔ no so sɛ wɔne no rekɔko.
