18 Kabili Yehoshafati anonkele ifyuma ifingi kabili alicindeme nga nshi;+ lelo apangene icipangano ca cupo+ na Ahabu.+
2 E ico ilyo imyaka yapitilepo aile kuli Ahabu ku Samaria;+ kabili Ahabu aipaile Yehoshafati na bantu abo ali na bo ilambo lya mpaanga+ ne ng’ombe ishingi. Kabili atendeke ukumusembeleka+ ukuti aye nankwe mu kulwisha abena Ramote-gileadi.+
3 Kabili Ahabu imfumu ya bena Israele aebele Yehoshafati imfumu ya kwa Yuda ati: “Bushe kuti twaya na iwe ku Ramote-gileadi?”+ Na o amwaswike ati: “Ine cimo na iwe, kabili abantu bandi cimo na bantu bobe kabili tuli nobe mu bulwi.”+
4 Lelo Yehoshafati aebele imfumu ya kwa Israele ati: “Tala ipusha+ tumfwe ifyo Yehova alasosa.”
5 E ico imfumu ya kwa Israele yalonganike bakasesema+ imyanda ine (400) no kubepusha aiti: “Bushe tuyelwisha Ramote-gileadi, nangu twiya?”+ Na bo batile: “Kabiyeni, kabili Lesa wa cine alepeela uyu musumba mu minwe ya mfumu.”
6 Lelo Yehoshafati asosele ukuti: “Bushe takuli kasesema wa kwa Yehova na umbi kuno?+ Nga e ko ali, natwipushishe muli ena.”+
7 Kabili imfumu ya kwa Israele yatile kuli Yehoshafati:+ “Kucili umuntu na umbi+ uwa kwipushishamo kuli Yehova, nomba ine nalimupata,+ pantu inshiku shakwe shonse tansesemena ifisuma iyo, kano ifibi.+ Ni Mikaya mwana Imla.”+ Lelo Yehoshafati atile: “Imfumu iisosa icintu ca musango yo.”+
8 Awe imfumu ya kwa Israele yaitile cilolo wa kwi sano+ no kusosa aiti: “Leta Mikaya mwana Imla bwangu bwangu.”+
9 Kabili imfumu ya Israele na Yehoshafati imfumu ya Yuda baikele cila muntu pa cipuna cakwe ica bufumu, nabafwala ne fya kufwala fya mfumu,+ kabili baikele pa ca kupuminapo ingano ica pa mwinshi wa musumba wa Samaria; kabili bakasesema bonse balecita ku cinso cabo nga filya fine bakasesema bacita.+
10 E lyo Sidekia mwana Kenaana apangile insengo+ sha cela no kutila: “Ifi e fyo Yehova asosa,+ ‘Kuli ishi nsengo e ko ukasunkila abena Siria mpaka ukubalofye.’”+
11 Na bakasesema bambi bonse balesesema fimo fine, abati: “Kabiyeni ku Ramote-gileadi no kucimfya,+ kabili Yehova alepeela uyu musumba mu minwe ya mfumu.”+
12 Kabili inkombe iyo batumine ku kwita Mikaya yamwebele aiti: “Mona! Amashiwi ayo bakasesema bonse balandile ku mfumu nayawama; na iwe ulande amashiwi yamo yene nge fyo balandile+ kabili ulande ifisuma.”+
13 Lelo Mikaya atile: “Na pali Yehova,+ ifyo Lesa wandi alenjeba, e fyo nalalanda.”+
14 E lyo aile ku mfumu, ne mfumu yamwipwishe aiti: “Mikaya, bushe tuleya ku Ramote-gileadi ku kulwa nangu twiyako?” Na o apo pene ayaswike ati: “Kabiyeni no kucimfya; kabili bakapeelwa mu minwe yenu.”+
15 Awe imfumu yamwipwishe aiti: “Bushe miku inga nkakulenga ukulapa+ ukuti taufwile ukunjeba cimbi kano icishinka mwi shina lya kwa Yehova?”+
16 E ico atile: “Ndemona abena Israele bonse nabasalangana pa mpili, kwati ni mpaanga ishabula kacema.+ Kabili Yehova atile: ‘Aba tabakwata bashikulwibo.+ Lekeni babwelelemo umutende cila muntu ku mwakwe.’”+
17 E lyo imfumu ya kwa Israele yaebele Yehoshafati aiti: “Bushe nshacikweba ukuti, ‘Tansesemene ifisuma kano fye ifibi’?”+
18 Kabili Mikaya akonkenyepo ukusosa ati: “E ico umfweni ifyo Yehova asosa:+ Ndemona Yehova naikala pa cipuna+ cakwe ica bufumu ne bumba+ lyakwe lyonse ilya mu muulu naliminina ku kulyo kwakwe na ku kuso kwakwe.+
19 Na Yehova atile, ‘Nani alayabepa Ahabu imfumu ya kwa Israele pa kuti ayeipaiwa mu Ramote-gileadi?’ Awe batendeke ukulandapo, uyu alesosa ifi, umbi na o alesosa ifi.+
20 Awe umupashi+ umo waishileiminina ku cinso ca kwa Yehova, auti, ‘Ine nalayamubepa.’ Na o Yehova awipwishe ati, ‘Walayamubepa shani?’+
21 Na o watile, ‘Ndeyaba umupashi wa bufi mu tunwa twa bakasesema bakwe bonse.’+ E ico Lesa atile, ‘Walayamubepa, kabili no kucimfya ulecimfya.+ Kabiye, kacite ifyo fine.’+
22 E ico nomba Yehova nabika umupashi wa bufi mu tunwa twa bakasesema benu aba;+ lelo Yehova umwine alandile ukuti ububi buleisa pali iwe.”+
23 Nomba Sidekia+ mwana Kenaana+ alipaleme no kuuma Mikaya+ pe saya+ no kutila: “Bushe umupashi wa kwa Yehova wacipita shani pali ine no kulanda na iwe?”+
24 Na o Mikaya atile: “Mona! Iwe ukamona ifyo umupashi upitile mu bushiku+ bulya ilyo ukengila mu muputule wa mu kati ku kufisama.”+
25 E lyo imfumu ya kwa Israele yatile: “Buuleni Mikaya no kumubwesesha kuli Amone mushika wa musumba na kuli Yoashi umwana wa mfumu.+
26 Kabili mutile, ‘Imfumu yatila: “Bikeni uyu muntu mu cifungo+ no kulamupeela ifya kulya ifinono+ na menshi ayanono mpaka nkabwele umutende.”’”+
27 Na o Mikaya atile: “Nga cine cine mwabwela umutende, ninshi Yehova talandile na ine.”+ Kabili asosele no kuti: “Umfweni mwe bantu bonse.”+
28 Awe imfumu ya kwa Israele na Yehoshafati imfumu ya kwa Yuda baile ku Ramote-gileadi.+
29 Imfumu ya ku Israele nomba yatile kuli Yehoshafati: “Ine nalaifungushanya+ no kuya ku bulwi, lelo iwe ufwale fye ifya kufwala fyobe ifya mfumu.”+ Awe imfumu ya ku Israele yali-ifungushenye e lyo baile ku kulwa.+
30 Nomba imfumu ya Siria, yena yaebele abakalamba ba bashilika ba iko aba maceleta, aiti: “Mwilwa no muntu uushacindama nelyo uwacindama, kano fye ne mfumu ya kwa Israele.”+
31 Nomba ilyo abakalamba ba maceleta bamwene Yehoshafati, batile: “Uyu e mfumu ya kwa Israele.”+ E ico balipilibwike pa kuti balwe nankwe; na o Yehoshafati e pa kupunda mutuule,+ na Yehova alimwafwile,+ kabili Lesa abatalwishe kuli ena.+
32 Nomba ilyo fye abakalamba ba maceleta bamwene ukuti te mfumu ya kwa Israele, apo pene balekele ukumukonka.+
33 Lelo umuntu umo apoosele umufwi ukwabula ukwishiba, kabili alashile+ imfumu ya kwa Israele apalundanina ica kucinga icifuba, kabili imfumu yaebele uwale-ensha iceleta ati:+ “Alula ukuboko kobe, no kumfumya mu nkambi, pantu nabancena icibi.”+
34 Kabili ubulwi bwalekoselako fye bulya bushiku, ne mfumu ya kwa Israele yabikilwe mwi celeta naiminina ukulungatana na bena Siria ukufika icungulo; kabili yasukile yafwa ilyo akasuba kalewa.+
