18 Jino Yehoshafwate apwile naluheto lwaluvulu naulemu chikuma.+ Oloze alimbachilile naAhave.+
2 Ngocho mukuhita chamyaka, ayile kuli Ahave kuSamaliya.+ Kaha Ahave ajihilile Yehoshafwate navatu ejile navo mikoko navangombe vavavulu. Kufumaho, amukunywile vayenga hamwe vakanyemukile nganda yaLamote-ngileyate.+
3 Ahave mwangana wavaIsalele ahulishile Yehoshafwate mwangana wavaYuta ngwenyi: “Uno natuya hamwe nakulukuka nganda yaLamote-ngileyate nyi?” Yehoshafwate amukumbulwile ngwenyi: “Etu tuvatu vovamwe. Vatu jami vanapu vatu jove, ngocho natukukafwa kulwa jita.”
4 Yehoshafwate ambile kuli mwangana wavaIsalele ngwenyi: “Achivangile kwihula Yehova.”+
5 Ngocho mwangana wavaIsalele akungulwile vapolofweto 400, avahulishile ngwenyi: “Uno nguyenga nakulukuka nganda yaLamote-ngileyate tahi, nyi chiku?” Vakiko vamukumbulwile ngwavo: “Yako, Kalunga wamuchano mwayihana kuli ove mwangana.”
6 Jino Yehoshafwate ahulishile ngwenyi: “Kuno kakweshi kapolofweto kaYehovako+ tahi? Naikiye tumwihulenu.”+
7 Mwangana wavaIsalele akumbulwile Yehoshafwate ngwenyi: “Kwali kapolofweto umwe+ mwahasa kutwihwila kuli Yehova, oloze ngwamuhunga mwomwo keshi kupolofweta vyuma vyamwaza hali amiko shina vyavipi kaha.+ Lijina lyenyi ikiye Mikaya mwanaImila.” Oloze Yehoshafwate ambile ngwenyi: “Mwangana katela kuhanjika mazu angochoko.”
8 Ngocho mwangana wavaIsalele asanyikile chilolo chenyi, ambile kuli ikiye ngwenyi: “Ngusanyikile Mikaya mwanaImila washiwashi.”+
9 Mwangana wavaIsalele naYehoshafwate mwangana wavaYuta vatwamine hamatanda avo oku vanavwale uvwalo wawangana. Vatwamine kuweluka, kuchikolo changanda yaSamaliya. Kaha vapolofweto vosena vapwile nakupolofweta kumeso avo.
10 Jino Zetekiya mwanaKenana alitengelele jimbinga jafwelu, kaha ambile ngwenyi: “Yehova nambe ngwenyi, ‘Naukatuva* vaSulya najimbinga kaneji palanga nomu naukavanongesa vosena.’”
11 Vapolofweto vosena vahanjikile mwomumwe ngwavo, “Yako ukalukuke nganda yaLamote-ngileyate, kaha naukayifungulula.+ Yehova mwakayihana kuli ove mwangana.”
12 Kanganda uze vatumine akasanyike Mikaya ambile kuli ikiye ngwenyi: “Vapolofweto vosena vanahanjika mwomumwe, mazu vanahanjika anawahe kuli mwangana. Nayove hanjika nge omu vanahanjika vakwenu,+ uhanjike mwamwaza.”+
13 Oloze Mikaya ambile ngwenyi: “Omu ayoya Yehova tu, vyeshovyo mwangulweza Kalunga kami vikiko nanguhanjika.”+
14 Mikaya ejile kuli mwangana, kaha mwangana amwihwile ngwenyi: “Ove Mikaya, uno tuyenga nakulukuka nganda yaLamote-ngileyate tahi, nyi chiku?” Ikiye amukumbulwile ngwenyi: “Yenunga, kaha namukayifungulula. Kalunga mwakayihana kuli enu.”
15 Jino mwangana amwihwile ngwenyi: “Nangukushingisa mapapa kangahi ngwami watela kuhanjika kaha muchano mulijina lyaYehova?”
16 Mikaya amukumbulwile ngwenyi: “Ngwamonanga vaIsalele vosena vanalimwange hajipili kwijiva nge mikoko vakuzeneka kafunga.+ Kaha Yehova nambe ngwenyi: ‘Ava kaveshi natwaminako. Mutu himutu akinduluke tuhu kuzuvo yenyi mukuunda.’”
17 Mwangana wavaIsalele ambile kuli Yehoshafwate ngwenyi: “Ngwetu ngwakulwezanga ngwami, ‘Keshi kupolofweta vyuma vyamwaza hali amiko shina vyavipi kaha.’”+
18 Jino Mikaya ambile ngwenyi: “Ivwa vyuma nahanjika Yehova: Ngwamonanga Yehova natwame halitanda lyenyi,+ kaha mayongomena amwilu osena anemana,+ ava kulivoko lyenyi lyachilyo, ava kulivoko lyenyi lyachimoswe.+
19 Yehova avehulanga ngwenyi, ‘Iya mwaya nakwonga Ahave mwangana wavaIsalele mangana ayenga kuLamote-ngileyate akafwileko?’ Kaha vosena vahanjikanga ou ngwenyi munganji, ou ngwenyi munganji mukananga.
20 Jino kangelo*+ umwe ezanga nakwimana kumeso aYehova nakwamba ngwenyi, ‘Ami nanguya nakumwonga.’ Ngocho Yehova amwihulanga ngwenyi, ‘Naukamwonga ngachilihi?’
21 Ikiye amukumbululanga ngwenyi, ‘Nanguya nakuhaka mazu akwonga mutunwa twavapolofweto jenyi vosena.’ Kalunga ambanga ngwenyi, ‘Yako ukalinge ngocho. Naukamwonga vene, kaha naukamuhasa.’
22 Shikaho, Yehova nahake mazu akwonga mutunwa twavapolofweto jove vosena ava.+ Ijiva ngwove Yehova nakuvulukila lyehi lupi.”
23 Zetekiya+ mwanaKenana apandamine kuli Mikaya,+ amuvetele halikili+ nakwamba ngwenyi: “Uno uli nakwamba ngwove shipilitu yaYehova yinangufumu, kaha yili nakuhanjikila muli ove nyi?”+
24 Mikaya amukumbulwile ngwenyi: “Mukatachikiza chuma kana halikumbi lize naukachinyina mukapete kazuvo mangana ukaswamemo.”
25 Jino mwangana wavaIsalele ambile ngwenyi: “Kwatenu Mikaya mumutwale kuli Amone mukulwane wanganda, naYowashe mwanamwangana.
26 Valwezenu ngwenu, ‘Mwangana nambe ngwenyi: “Muhakenu mukamenga,+ mumuhanenga tuvyakulya twatundende, natumeya twatundende palanga nomu nangukakinduluka mukuunda.”’”
27 Oloze Mikaya ambile ngwenyi: “Kachi nge naukakinduluka mukuunda, kahanyi Yehova keshi ikiye nahanjika kuli amiko.”+ Ambile cheka ngwenyi: “Enu vatu muvosena nyingililenu mazu ami.”
28 Ngocho mwangana wavaIsalele naYehoshafwate mwangana wavaYuta vayile mangana vakalukuke Lamote-ngileyate.+
29 Kaha mwangana wavaIsalele ambile kuli Yehoshafwate ngwenyi: “Ami nangulisolola nge ngumutu weka nakulwa navo jita, oloze ove vwala uvwalo wove wawangana.” Ngocho mwangana wavaIsalele alisolwele nge himutu weka nakulwa navo jita.
30 Jino mwangana waSulya alwezele tupitau twenyi vamatemba ajita ngwenyi: “Kanda namuzunga navatu vamokomoko chipwe vavalemuko, shina namwangana wavaIsalele kaha.”
31 Omu tupitau twamatemba ajita vamwene Yehoshafwate, valyambile mwavomwavo ngwavo: “Ou ikiye vene mwangana wavaIsalele.” Ngocho valwile nenyi jita, oloze ikiye atwile kawelele mangana vamukafwe.+ Kaha Yehova amukafwile, hahaze vene apewilile vaze vaka-jita kweka.
32 Omu vamwene ngwavo keshi ikiye mwangana wavaIsaleleko, hahaze vene valitwaminyine kulwa nenyi.
33 Oloze lunga umwe ananyile uta wenyi wamanana nakwasa, kaha mwivwi wakakwachile mumanungililo akahuma kachikungo kaze avwalile mwangana wavaIsalele nakumulemeka. Kaha ambile kuli muka-kutambukisa litemba lyenyi ngwenyi: “Alumuna litemba mangana ungufumise kuno kujita,* mwomwo vanangulemeka chikuma.”+
34 Valwile jita likumbi lyosena, kaha mwangana wavaIsalele vamwimikile nakumukwachilila mulitemba lyenyi kwakulitalasana navaSulya palanga nakuchingoloshi, kaha afwile hakulauka chalikumbi.+
