18 Mikaia toaa so sɛ, “Tie deɛ Awurade ka! Mehunuu sɛ Awurade te nʼahennwa so a ɔsoro asraadɔm nyinaa tete ne nifa ne ne benkum so. 19 Na Awurade bisaa sɛ, ‘Hwan na ɔbɛtumi adaadaa Israelhene Ahab ama wakɔtu Ramot-Gilead so sa na wɔakum no wɔ hɔ?’
“Adwenkyerɛ bebree baa ho, 20 kɔsii sɛ ne korakora no, honhom bi kɔɔ Awurade nkyɛn kɔkaa sɛ, ‘Mɛtumi ayɛ!’ ”
Awurade bisaa sɛ, “ ‘Ɛkwan bɛn so na wobɛfa ayɛ yei.’ ”
21 Na honhom no buaa sɛ, “Mɛkɔ akɔdaadaa Ahab adiyifoɔ, ama wɔadi atorɔ.”

22 “Enti, woahunu sɛ Awurade de nkontompo honhom ahyɛ wʼadiyifoɔ no anom. Awurade adwene sɛ ɔde amanehunu bɛba wo so.”
23 Na Kenaana babarima Sedekia kɔɔ Mikaia so, kɔbɔɔ no sotorɔ bisaa sɛ, “Da bɛn na Awurade honhom gyaa me bɛkasa kyerɛɛ wo?”
24 Na Mikaia buaa sɛ, “Ɛrenkyɛre biara, wobɛhunu nokorɛ no wɔ ɛberɛ a wobɛdwane akɔtɛ kɔkoam dan bi mu.”
