9 Ndienu Ahabu bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli, ankema ntumisi jumu, nu kundagalaki, "Kanyata gujenda ukukema Mikaya mwana waka Imula."

10 Kipindi hesi, bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli pamu na Yehoshafati bambu nkolongu juku Yuda, babiya atemi mwi iteu yabu yu ulongosi pandu pukupete ilebi mu litanga lukujingali ku musi uku Samalia, kipindi hesi alota boti abiya apia ulota palongi jabu. 11 Kati ja alota haba kwabii nu nndo jobunkema Sedekia mwana waka Kenaana, hoju jwabia julenganaki manyelu gi kisomasoma nu kupwaga Ahabu, "Bambu Sapanga julonge kubanga, ‘Kwa manyelu ganga, waakelabua mu nyuma bandu buku Silia na kwaakoma.’" 12 Hata alota bangi bala boti babia apia ulota ahelahe bapwaga, "Jenda kakomana na bandu buku Lamoti Gileadi, wiitenda kwaawesa! Bambu Sapanga jwagupekia makili gakawesa."

13 Kipindi ntumisi jola jobabiya buntumiki kuka nndota jobukema Mikaya, ampwagila ana, "Akalota boti, bumpiikia ulota bambu nkolongu kubanga jwiitenda kuwesa, henu gupepa koku na wehapa gundondulia ngati bombi ebundonduli, gundondulia ngamboni."

14 Lakini nndota Mikaya jajibua, "Napa ku lihina laka Bambu Sapanga jojubii mwomi, nepani isimbwaga pe gasijumbwagila Bambu Sapanga."

15 Ndienu nndota Mikaya ejahika palongi jaka bambu nkolongu, bambu nkolongu andalukia, "Tujenda le kukomana ngondu ku musi uku Lamoti Gileade amale twiijendaa?" Najombi anzibua, "Gujenda na ukatenda kwaawesa, najombi Bambu Sapanga jwagubeka musi hogu pai ju ulongosi waku."

16 Lakini bambu nkolongu ampwagila, "Nagulapisa mala palenga ku liina laka Bambu Sapanga ili manya gagulote haga ga sakaka?"

17 Ndienu, Mikaya anzibua, "Naabona akomana ngondu boti buku Izilaeli apesangina mwi itombi ngati makondoo ganga na alimi. Najombi Bambu Sapanga japwaaga, ‘Akomana ngondu haba ngase abi ni kilongose, ndienu kila mundu jubuja kunyumba jaki su lukwali.’ "

18 Ndipala Ahabu bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli ampwagila Yehoshafati, "Ngasenukugupwagi kubanga nndota ajo ngajumbiiki ulota gambone ila pe majambu mabaja kwangu nepane?"

19 Mikaya jaendaliya kupwaaga, "Gujowania lilobi laka Bambu Sapanga. Numbona Bambu Sapanga jutemi pikiteu saki su ulongosi, na akomana ngondu boti bukunani ajemiki pulutengu jaki, upandi ukumalele nu upandi wa mangega. 20 Bambu Sapanga jaalaluki, ‘Boo, nya jojuwesa kunkolo Ahabu jujenda kugulapu musi uku Lamoti Gileadi na jakakuwila koko?’ Kila jumu jajibua ngati ejabiya juholali, 21 ndienu kilombu simu esapitila palongi jaka Bambu Sapanga, sapwaga, ‘Nepani mbaka nankolo.’ 22 Bambu Sapanga andalukia, ‘Kwiindela bole?’ Najombi jajibua, ‘Niijenda nakwaahenga alota baki boti apwaga isoli.’ Bambu Sapanga ampwagila, ‘Wehapa guwesa kunkoloo, henu gujenda uka henga helahe.’"

23 "Ndienu, Mikaya jaendaliya kupwaaga, ‘Linga Bambu Sapanga jwaahengiki akaalota baku boti apwaga isoli. Bambu Sapanga julagalaki wiipata mabaja!’"

24 Ndienu, nndota Sedekia mwana waka Kenani, anhegalia Mikaya, angomba kopi mulutuku nu kundaluki ana, "Tumbuka lii Loho jaka Bambu Sapanga janeka nepani, nu kuhika kulonge na wehapa?" 25 Mikaya anzibua, "Lisoba lewijingala mu sumba su nkati nu kulihia, ndi pawimanya."

26 Najwombi bambu nkolongu Ahabu juku Izilaeli japwaga, "Munkamula Mikaya, munkelubua kwaka Amoni, nkolongu jwa musi kwaka Yoashi mwana waka bambu nkolongu. 27 Mukumpwagila bunzingia mu ligelesa nu kumpeke libumunda lisokopi na masi, mbaka panibuja na mwomi."

28 Ndipala Mikaya japwaaga, "Ana gubujiki wa mwomi ndi paniimanya Bambu Sapanga ngase jwalongi na nepani." Ndienu jaendalia kulonge, "Mwaa bandu boti nkombuka malobi haga gambwagiki!"

29 Ndienu, bambu nkolongu Ahabu juku Izilaeli jajenda pamu na bambu nkolongu Yehoshafati juku Yuda, kugulapu musi uku Lamoti Gileadi. 30 Ahabu bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli ampwagila Yehoshafati ana, "Kungondu hoku nepani niitenda kujoba nganiwati ingobu ya ikibambu lakini wehapa gunhwata ingobu yaku ikibambu." Ndienu bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli jajenda sanga kuwata ingobu yaki yikibambu ili kujoba jiimanyikana.

31 Bambu nkolongu juku Silia jwabiya jaalagalaki akalonda baki selasini na abeli bababiya ajemale magali gaki gukuhutwa, japwaaga, "Mwiikomana na mundu jokapi jola, jukubi nkolongu au nsoku, ila pe bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli." 32 Ndienu munikatai jaki aka kilongosi ba akaakomana ngondu bala bumbona Yehoshafati, bapwaaga, "Sakaka jonzo ndi bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli." Ndienu, batenda kumpwata, nu kupala kukomana naku lakini Yehoshafati jatenda kujamali. 33 Aka kilongosi ba akaakomana ngondu ba magali gukuhutwa bala pabamanya kubanga hoju nga bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli bakotuka kunndapu na bakotuka kumpwata. 34 Lakini, nkomana ngondu jumwa juku Silia, jwahuta lupende lwaki sukubahitisa, gunhosa nkoa bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli pikigamba, pandu papalombikini ingobu jaki jiki somasoma. Ahabu ampwagila jojabiya juendesa ligali laki, "Ng'anambua ligali na gumowa pa ngondu, ndaba anhumisi ngamaa!"

35 Na ngondu lisoba lela jaendalia kubaba ngani, koni bambu nkolongu bungoniki mu ligali, kulangi bandu buku Silia. Mwai gwatenda kumpita pi kilonda saki nu kunyika mbaka pai ji ligali, ekwahika pakamii, jwatenda kuwa. 36 Lyoba palabiya litenda kujingila, balagalakia ana pababiya ku likambi, "Kila mundu jubuja ku musi waki nuku nndema waki!"

37 Bambu nkolongu Ahabu pajakuwa ntuhi waki bugupelaka ku musi uku Samalia na bugutaga hoku. 38 Baada jaka bambu nkolongu kuwa biligolula ligali laki lukuhutwa ku litanda luku Samalia, momuje akambomba agoni bahoga mola, na jimbwa yalamba mwai waki ngati lilobi laka Bambu Sapanga elipwaaga.

39 Mahengu gangi gaka bambu nkolongu Ahabu pamu na goti gajagengiki, namuna ejasengiki nu kujipamba nyumba jaki kwa manyelu, na misi joti jejasengiki, goti gaandikwi mu Kitabu sa Ngombuke ya Akabambu Akolongu buku Izilaeli. 40 Ahabu pajwakuwa buntaga mu matenge gaka hoku baki na mwanamundu Ahazia bunhimika kuba bambu nkolongu badala ja atati baki.

41 Mu saka su nsesi su ulongosi waka Ahabu jojabi bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli, Yehoshafati mwana waka Asa, jatumbulia kulongosa ku Yuda. 42 Yehoshafati jabiya na yaka selasini nu nhwanu pajwatumbulia kulongosa. Jwalongusa ku musi uku Yelusalemu kwa yaka ishilini nu nhwanu. Amabaki baakemika Azuba buku Ashilihi. 43 Jahenga majambu gaamboni kwaka Bambu Sapanga ngati ebabiya ahengiki atati baki babakema Asa. Lakini ngase jupahalabini pandu pukupiiki matambiku kwi itombi. Bandu baendalai kupiya matambiku hoku nu kupogale ubani pandu hapu. 44 Najombi Yehoshafati jatama ku lukwali na bambu nkolongu juku Izilaeli.

45 Mahengu gangi gaka Yehoshafati, makili gaki na ngondu yejukomini, goti gaandikwi mu Kitabu sa Ngombuke ya Akabambu Akolongu buku Yuda. 46 Jaaboa mu nndema akanalomi boti bababia agonalene beni na beni, babaigali mu masoba guulongosi waka Asa bababia atati baki.

47 Tumbuka hapu ngasekwabii na bambu nkolongu ku Edomu. Kilongosi wabu jwabia kilongosi jojahaguliwa na bambu nkolongu Yehoshafati.

48 Bambu nkolongu Yehoshafati jalenganakia meli yu kujenda ku musi uku Ofili kutoto madini ga zahabu lakini ngaseyahikiki ndaba yatei kuhalabika yahigaliya ku Esioni Gebeli, na ngaseyahenga sapwali kabeti. 49 Ndienu, Ahazia mwana waka Ahabu, ampwagila Yehoshafati, "Nuguloba atumisi bangu ajenda pamu na atumisi baku mu meli homu." Lakini Yehoshafati ngasejajetakile lijambu heli.

50 Najombi Yehoshafati jatenda kuwa, nu kuntaga mu matenge gaka bambu akolongu mu musi uka Daudi, najombi Yeholamu, mwanamundu jwalongusa badala jaki.

51 Mu saka sa komi na saba su ulongosi waka Yehoshafati, bambu nkolongu juku Yuda, Ahazia mwana waka Ahabu, jatumbulia kulongosa ku Izilaeli. Jwalongusa kwa yaka ibeli koni jubii ku Samalia. 52 Najombi Ahazia jatei majambu mabaja palongi jaka Bambu Sapanga, jajiga mahengu gabahenga Ahabu atati baki na ngati ejahenga Yezebeli anyongo baki, na Yelobuamu jojaalongusa Aizilaeli mu kutama kwi kihakau. 53 Jukitumakia nu kukilumbali kisapanga Baali, anhenga Bambu Sapanga, ngati ebabiya ahengiki Ahabu atati baki. Ndienu Sapanga jwa Aizilaeli jabiya ni inyela kwa kila lijambu.
