Ku yikyo kyanya, mwami Yehoshafaati weꞌBuyuda âli kola mugale bweneene, anâli kizi gingikwa. Yehoshafaati âli riiri manyana geꞌmbaga ya mwami Ahabu. Mukuba, akagondeera mugala wage munyere Ahabu, mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri.
Iri hakalenga nga myaka inga, mwami Yehoshafaati anayiji zaatira mwami Ahabu mu kaaya keꞌSamariya. Ikyanya akahika, kuguma naꞌbandu baage, Ahabu anabazimaana ibibuzi neꞌngaavu ku bwingi. Abuli múbwira kwo amúherekeze, gira bagendi teera akaaya keꞌRamooti-Giryadi.
Ahabu anabuuza Yehoshafaati «Ewe! Ka ugandabaala, gira ngendi teera akaaya keꞌRamooti-Giryadi?» Na wa Yehoshafaati, ti: «Ee ma! Si twe baguma! Abandu baani, bali beꞌmwawe. Kwokwo, tugakuyibiika kwo.» Anashubiza, ti: «Halikago, utee hanuusa Nahano.»
Ahabu anakuumania abaleevi baage magana gana, anababuuza: «Ka ngendi teera akaaya keꞌRamooti-Giryadi, kandi iri nanga?» Na wa nabo, ti: «Genda. Rurema agakuhimira.»
Kundu bakashuvya kwokwo, Yehoshafaati anashubi buuza kwokuno: «Ka hano ndaaye gundi muleevi wa Nahano ye twangaki hanuusa?»
Mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri, ti: «Hakiri Mikaaya mugala Himula. Yiryo ihano lya Nahano, twangamúhuuna lyo. Haliko, ndi mu múnegura bweneene. Mukuba, atali mu ndangira ubuleevi bwija. Si ayamiri ali mu ndetera amabi naaho.» Yehoshafaati naye, ti: «E maashi mwami, ukudeta kwokwo kutakwaniini.»
Kwokwo, Ahabu anatumira umukulu wage muguma, anamúbwira kwo avwaruke, agendi leeta ulya Mikaaya mugala Himula.
Ku yikyo kyanya, mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri noꞌwabo weꞌBuyuda, bâli bwatiiri kwiꞌrembo lyaꞌkaaya. Ngiisi muguma âli bwatiiri ku kitumbi kyage kyoꞌbwami. Bâli gweti bagayigingika mu mirondo yabo yeꞌkyami. Naꞌbaleevi booshi, bâli gweti bagatanga ubuleevi imbere lyabo. 10 Mu yabo baleevi, muguma wabo ye Zedekiya mugala Kinaana. Zedekiya âli mali yilingaaniza amahembe geꞌbyuma, anakizi deta: «Nahano adeta kwokuno: “Ku njira ya yaga mahembe, ugafutiiriza Abaharaamu, halinde banaminikwe lwoshi.”»
11 Balya bandi baleevi booshi, bâli kizi tanga bwobwo-bwobwo buleevi, ti: «Ugendi teera akaaya keꞌRamooti-Giryadi, unakahime. Yako kaaya, Nahano agakabiika mu maboko gaawe.»
12 Ku yikyo kyanya, ulya mukozi úkatumwa imwa Mikaaya, anamúbwira: «Abandi baleevi booshi, keera batanga ubuleevi. Noꞌbuleevi bwabo buli bwo buguma, mbu mwami agaahima. Aaho! Naawe umútangire bwobwo-bwobwo buleevi. Ee! Umúdetere amiija.» 13 Haliko Mikaaya anamúshuvya kwokuno: «Nga kwo Nahano ayamiri ho, ngaadeta naaho ngiisi kwo Rurema wani agambwira.»
14 Ikyanya Mikaaya akahika imbere lya mwami, mwami anamúbuuza: «Ka tugendi teera i Ramooti-Giryadi, kandi iri nanga?» Na wa naye, ti: «Ee! Genda, ugaahima. Nahano agababiika mu maboko gaawe.»
15 Haliko, mwami anamúbwira: «Ngakubiikisa indahiro ubugira kanga, halinde umbwire íbiri ukuli kwiꞌziina lya Nahano?»
16 Ulya Mikaaya, ti: «Nabona kwaꞌBahisiraheeri booshi bashaabuka ku migazi, nga bibuzi íbitahiiti umungere. Nahano anadeta: “Yaba bandu, ndaakyo kirongoozi bahiiti. Leka ngiisi muguma wabo agalukire imwage ku mutuula.* 18.16 Muharuuro 27.17; Hezekyeri 34.5; Mataayo 9.36; Mariko 6.34. ”»
17 Lyeryo, Ahabu anabwira Yehoshafaati, ti: «Ka ndakakubwira kwo uyu mushosi atangandangira ubuleevi bwija? Si ali mu ndangira bwaꞌmabi naaho!»
18 Mikaaya anashubi deta: «Yuvwiriza igambo lya Nahano. Nabona Nahano abwatiiri ku kitumbi kyage kyoꞌbwami. Naꞌbakozi baage booshi ba mwiꞌgulu, bayimaaziri ha butambi lyage, baguma ilulyo, naꞌbandi ilumosho. 19 Nahano anabuuza: “Nyandagi ugagendi hendereza Ahabu, gira agendi teera i Ramooti-Giryadi, halinde agendi fwira yo?” Ngiisi muguma anakizi shuvya byage-byage.
20 «Ha nyuma, kisigo kiguma kyanayimanga imbere lya Nahano, kyanadeta: “Niehe ngagendi múhendereza.”
«Nahano anakibuuza: “Ugamúhendereza ku njira nyiki?” 21 Nakyo, ti: “Ngagendi shimya abaleevi baage booshi kwo bakizi deta ikinyoma.” Na wa Nahano, ti: “Kwokwo! We gaahasha ukumúhendereza. Genda, ugirage kwokwo.”»
22 Uyo Mikaaya anashubiza, ti: «Ewe! Kwokwo, kwo binali. Yaba baleevi baawe booshi, Nahano keera ababiika mweꞌkisigo halinde badete ikinyoma. Kundu kwokwo, Nahano keera akyula kwo agakutumira ubuhanya.»
23 Lyeryo, Zedekiya mugala Kinaana anayami yegeera Mikaaya, anamútumuula uluhi kwiꞌtama, kwa! Anamúbuuza: «Ewe! Koꞌmutima gwa Nahano gwanjaaga mwo, mbu gutondeere ukukudeta mwo?»
24 Na wa Mikaaya, ti: «Ulusiku lwo ugayingira mu kisiika kyeꞌkati, mbu ugendi yibisha, lyo ugaamenya.»
25 Kwokwo, mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri anabahamuliza, ti: «Gwatagi Mikaaya, munamútwale imwa Hamooni, umukulu waꞌkaaya, neꞌmwa Yohaashi, umuluzi. 26 Munababwire kwo mwami akyula kwokuno: “Uyu mundu, mumúbiike mu mbohe. Munakizi múliisa umukate muniini, naꞌmiiji, halinde ku kyanya ngagaluka kwo ku butoge.”»
27 Uyo Mikaaya anamúbwira kwokuno: «Iri wangagaluka ku butoge, iri atali Nahano úwanganuuza.» Anashubiza, ti: «Muyuvwirize ngiisi kwo nadeta.»
(1 Baami 22.29-35)
28 Kwokwo, uyo mwami Ahabu waꞌBahisiraheeri, kuguma na mwami Yehoshafaati weꞌBuyuda, banagendi teera akaaya keꞌRamooti-Giryadi. 29 Ahabu anamúbwira: «Ikyanya ngayingira mwiꞌzibo, ngayambala ibindi-bindi byambalwa íbitali byeꞌkyami. Haliko wehe, uyambale ibyambalwa byawe byeꞌkyami.» Kwokwo, Ahabu anahindurania ibyambalwa, anayingira mwiꞌzibo.
30 Ulya mwami weꞌSiriya âli hangwiri ibirongoozi bya ábâli yimangiiri amagaare gaage giꞌzibo, ti: «Mutakolwe kwo mwahuma ku gundi mundu yeshi, aba mugunda, kandi iri mutasumbwa. Si mulwise naaho mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri.»
31 Birya birongoozi, mbu bilangiize Yehoshafaati, byanadeta: «Ku kasiisa, uyu ye mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri.» Kyanatuma bagamúlandiriza, gira bamúlwise. Haliko Yehoshafaati, iri akayidehereza ku nduulu, iri anatabaaza Rurema, Rurema anamútabaala mu kumúyimulira abagoma. 32 Yabo bagoma banamenya kwo atali ye mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri, banaleka ukumúlwisa, banagaluka.
33 Haaho, musirikaani muguma weꞌSiriya, anafwora umuheto gwage mu kuhizaanwa. Kiziga, umwambi gwayami yityomba ha buteranizo bweꞌsiribo zo mwami waꞌBahisiraheeri ayambiiti mu kifuba kyage. Uyo Ahabu anayami bwira ikirongoozi kiꞌgaare lyage liꞌzibo: «Ewe! Keera nakomeereka. Hindula igaare, unjaaze duba mwiꞌzibo.»
34 Yulwo lusiku, izibo lyanakungula ngana-ngana. Kwokwo, banashegamika mwami mwiꞌgaare, agweti agalangiiza Abaharaamu, halinde kabigingwe. Neꞌri izuuba likaba likola mu sooka, ulya mwami Ahabu anafwa.
