1Agho kyabazinga Yehoshafati owa Buyudaaya yaaba mukombe inho era nga wa kitiibwa. Yaataagho enkolagana ni kyabazinga Ahabu owa Isiraeli, ng’aleetagho okufumbiraganwa ghagati gh’ab’endhu ye n’ab’endhu ya Ahabu oyo. 2Emyaka nga gibiseeghooku, yaaja e Samaria ewa Ahabu. Ahabu yaitira Yehoshafati oyo n’abantu be yali nabo, entaama n’ente kamaala inho, era yaagezaaku okumwikirizisa aje alumbe ekibuga Ramothi eky’e Gileadi. 3Ahabu yaabuuza Yehoshafati ati: “Onaaja ninze okulumba Ramothi eky’e Gileadi?”
Yehoshafati yaamwiramu ati: “Nze n’iwe tuli kirala. Abantu bange n’ekirala n’ababo. Twidha kuja n’iwe.”
4Aye Yehoshafati yaakoba kyabazinga wa Isiraeli ati: “Mala kwebuuza ku Musengwa Katonda owulire ky’akoba.” 5Agho kyabazinga wa Isiraeli yaasoloza abalanzi ebikumi bina (400), yaababuuza ati: “Nje numbe Ramothi eky’e Gileadi, oba ntakirumba?”
Bairamu bati: “Ja okirumbe, Musengwa Katonda aidha kukikugha okighangule.”
6Aye Yehoshafati yaakoba ati: “Ghano ghaziraghooku mulanzi wa Musengwa Katonda wundi tumwebuuzeeku?” 7Kyabazinga wa Isiraeli yaakoba Yehoshafati ati: “Ghakaaligho mulala ye tusobola okubitamu okwebuuza ku Musengwa Katonda. Oyo ni Mikaia, mutabane wa Imula. Aye timwenda naire, kuba talangangaku bikalamu ku nze, okutoolaku ebibi.”
Yehoshafati yaakoba ati: “Kyabazinga, otakoba otyo.”
8Agho kyabazinga wa Isiraeli yaayeta mulala ku bakungu be, yaamukoba ati: “Ja mangu oleete ghano Mikaia mutabane wa Imula.”
9Kyabazinga wa Isiraeli ni kyabazinga Yehoshafati owa Buyudaaya, baali bavaire ebivaalo byaibwe eby’obwakyabazinga, nga batyaime, buli muntu ku kityamo kye eky’obwakyabazinga, agho gha kifo aghakubirwa engaano, okumpi n’omulyango ogwingira Samaria. Abalanzi boonaboona baali bali kulanga agho mu maiso gaibwe. 10Agho owundi ku balanzi abo, eriina lye nga ni Zedekia mutabane Kenaana, yeekolera amayiga mu kyuma ekigumu einho, yaakoba ati: “Musengwa Katonda akoba ati, ‘Amayiga gano g’oidha okukozesa okufula Abasiria okutuusa lw’olibaghangula.’ ” 11N’abalanzi abandi boonaboona baalanga batyo, nga bakoba bati: “Ja olumbe Ramothi eky’e Gileadi, oidha kukighangula. Musengwa Katonda aidha kukikugha okighangule.”
12Agho omukwenda eyaja okweta Mikaia, yaakoba Mikaia oyo ati: “Bona eno, abalanzi abandi boonaboona balanze bughanguzi eri kyabazinga. Weena ogwaine olange nga beene bwe bakoze, ng’oyogera bikalamu.” 13Aye Mikaia yaakoba ati: “Ndayira mu Musengwa Katonda omulamu nti, ndidha kwogera ekyo Katonda oyo ky’anankoba okwogera.”
14Mikaia bwe yatuuka mu maiso ga kyabazinga Ahabu, kyabazinga Ahabu oyo yaamubuuza ati: “Nje numbe Ramothi eky’e Gileadi, oba ntakirumba?”
Mikaia yaamwiramu ati: “Ja olumbe Ramothi eky’e Gileadi, oidha kukighangula. Musengwa Katonda aidha kukikuta mu ngalo.”
15Aye Ahabu yaamukoba ati: “Nakukoba nti bw’obanga ng’oli kwogera ninze mu liina lya Musengwa Katonda, ogwaine oyogere mazima gonka. Oyenda nkwiraganemu ekintu ekyo mikuzi emeka?”
1618:16: Kub 27:17; Ezek 34:5; Mat 9:36; Mar 6:34 Mikaia yaakoba ati: “Mboine abaisirukale ba Isiraeli boonaboona nga basansaaniire eyo ku nsozi, ng’oti n’entaama edhiziraku mwayi. Musengwa Katonda yankoba ati, ‘Abantu abo baziraku mukulembeze. Leka buli muntu aireyo miraala mu maka ge.’ ”
17Kyabazinga Ahabu owa Isiraeli yaakoba Yehoshafati ati: “Tyakukobeire nti taidha kulanga bikalamu ku nze, okutoolaku ebibi!”
18Mikaia yeeyongera okukoba ati: “Kale ni wulira Musengwa Katonda by’akoba: Mboine Musengwa Katonda oyo ng’atyaime ku kityamo kye eky’obwakyabazinga, ng’eigye lyonalyona ery’omu igulu lyemereire ku luuyi lwe olw’omukono omusaadha ni ku lw’omugooda. 19Musengwa Katonda yaabuuza ati, ‘Naani anaasendasenda Ahabu okuja e Ramothi eky’e Gileadi, bamwite?’ Ono yaakoba kino, ate ole yaakoba kire. 20Agho ghaidhagho omwoyo gwayemerera mu maiso ga Musengwa Katonda, gwakoba guti, ‘Nze ndidha kumusendasenda.’
21“Musengwa Katonda yaagubuuza ati, ‘Mu nsambo ki?’
“Omwoyo gwamwiramu guti, ‘Ndidha kuja ndhogeze abalanzi be boonaboona eby’obuguya.’
“Musengwa Katonda yaakoba ati, ‘Oidha kusobola okumusendasenda. Kale ja okole otyo.’ ”
22Mikaia yaamaliriza ng’akoba ati: “Kale ni Musengwa Katonda ataire omwoyo ogw’obuguya mu kanwa omw’abalanzi bo boonaboona, era iwe by’akwogeireku bya kabi.”
23Agho omulanzi Zedekia mutabane wa Kenaana, yaaseeta ye Mikaia, yaamukuba oluyi ku itama era yaamubuuza ati: “Omwoyo gwa Musengwa Katonda gwanviireku gutya, memale gwogere n’iwe?”
24Mikaia yairamu ati: “Mu butuufu, ekyo olikimanha ku lunaku lw’olingira mu kisenge eky’omunda okwegisa.”
25Agho kyabazinga Ahabu yaalagira ati: “Mugeme Mikaia mumutwale eri Amoni omukulu w’ekibuga, n’eri omulangira Yoashi mutabane wa kyabazinga, 26mubakobe muti, ‘Kyabazinga alagiire ati omusaadha oyo mumute mu ikomera, era mumughenga emere n’amaadhi nga mumupimiraku bupimire, okutuusa nga ndhize miraala.’ ”
27Agho Mikaia yaakoba ati: “Bw’oiranga emiraala, nga koodhi Musengwa Katonda tayogereire mu nze.” Era yaayongeraku ati: “Imwe abantu mwenamwena, muwulire kye ndhogeire.”

28Agho kyabazinga Ahabu owa Isiraeli ni kyabazinga Yehoshafati owa Buyudaaya, baaja okulumba ekibuga Ramothi eky’e Gileadi. 29Ahabu yaakoba Yehoshafati ati: “Nze ndidha kuja mu lutalo nga neefuusiisafuusiisa ng’oti ndi muntu wundi, aye iwe oidha kuvaala ebivaalo byo eby’obwakyabazinga.” Kale baaja mu lutalo, nga kyabazinga wa Isiraeli yeefuusiisafuusiisa.
30Kyabazinga wa Siria yali amaze okulagira abaduumizi b’ebigaali bye eby’omu lutalo, ati: “Mutalwanisa muntu wundi yeenayeena, k’abe omukulu oba omuto, okutoolaku kyabazinga wa Isiraeli yenka.” 31Agho abaduumizi b’ebigaali eby’omu lutalo abo bwe baabona kyabazinga Yehoshafati, baadhuuba bati ni kyabazinga wa Isiraeli, era baakyuka okumulwanisa. Aye Yehoshafati oyo bwe yayana einho, Musengwa Katonda yaamubeera, yaamubawonia. 32Abaduumizi abo bwe baabona nga ti ni kyabazinga wa Isiraeli, baalekera agho okumubingirira.
33Agho ghaabaagho omwisirukale Omusiria eyalasa akalaso ke eyo atyo, aye yaagemya kyabazinga wa Isiraeli, agho ekivaalo kye eky’omu lutalo eky’ekyuma ghe kyegaitira mu kifuba. Kyabazinga yaakoba omuvuzi w’ekigaali kye eky’omu lutalo ati: “Kyusa ekigaali ontoole mu lutalo, kuba banfumiite.”
34Olutalo lwataama inho ku lunaku olwo. Kyabazinga wa Isiraeli baamugemerera bugemerere mu kigaali kye eky’omu lutalo okwolekera Abasiria. Yaamala yaafa eigulo eryo, ng’endhuba eri kugwa.
