Kɛkɛ ɔ, ma ha mo wai ngmɔ ko nɛ hi pe lɔ ɔ. Aloo ke o suɔ ɔ, ma ha mo e nya sika.” 3 Se Nabot de Ahab ke: “Kpaoo, ngɛ Yehowa hɛ mi ɔ, e sɛ nɛ ma ngɔ ye nɛmɛ a gbosi ní ɔ kɛ ha mo.” 4 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, Ahab kɛ abofu kɛ aywilɛho ba e we mi ngɛ heto nɛ Nabot, Yezreelno ɔ ha lɛ ke: “I be ye nɛmɛ a gbosi ní ɔ ngɔe kɛ ha mo” ɔ he je.

5 E yo Yezebel ba e ngɔ, nɛ e ba bi lɛ ke: “Mɛni he je nɛ o* bua jɔɛ, nɛ o kua ní yemi ɔ?” 6 E de Yezebel ke: “Ejakaa i de Nabot, Yezreelno ɔ ke, ‘Ha mi o wai ngmɔ ɔ nɛ ma ha mo sika. Aloo ke o suɔ ɔ, ha nɛ ma ha mo wai ngmɔ kpa kɛ to lɔ ɔ nane mi.’ Se e de ke, ‘I kɛ ye wai ngmɔ ɔ be mo hae.’” 7 E yo Yezebel de lɛ ke: “Anɛ pi mo nɛ o ngɛ Israel nɔ matsɛ yee lo? Tee si nɛ o ye ní, nɛ́ o bua nɛ jɔ ngɛ o tsui mi. Ma ha mo Nabot, Yezreelno ɔ wai ngmɔ ɔ.” 8 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, Yezebel ngma sɛ womihi ngɛ Ahab biɛ mi, nɛ e ngɔ Ahab nya sɔumi nɔ́ ɔ kɛ sɔu a nya, nɛ e kɛ sɛ womi ɔmɛ mane nikɔtɔmahi kɛ odehehi nɛ a ngɛ Nabot ma a mi ɔ. 9 E ngma ngɛ sɛ womi ɔmɛ a mi ke: “Nyɛɛ fia adafi kaa a ha hwɔ, nɛ́ nyɛ ha nɛ Nabot nɛ hi si ngɛ ni ɔmɛ a hɛ mi. 10 Nɛ́ nyɛ ha nɛ yaka nimli enyɔ nɛ á hi si ngɛ e hɛ mi nɛ a po e nya, nɛ́ a de ke, ‘O gbiɛ Mawu kɛ matsɛ ɔ!’ Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, nyɛɛ ngɔ lɛ kɛ je kpo nɛ nyɛ ya fiaa lɛ tɛ nɛ e gbo.”
11 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, nyumuhi, nɛ ji nikɔtɔmahi kɛ odehehi nɛ a ngɛ Nabot ma a mi ɔ pee kaa bɔ nɛ a ngma ngɛ sɛ womi ɔmɛ nɛ Yezebel kɛ mane mɛ ɔ mi ɔ pɛpɛɛpɛ. 12 A fia adafi kaa a ha hwɔ, nɛ a ha nɛ Nabot hi si ngɛ ni ɔmɛ a hɛ mi. 13 Kɛkɛ nɛ yaka nyumuhi enyɔ ba, nɛ a ba hi si ngɛ Nabot hɛ mi, nɛ a bɔni Nabot nya pomi ngɛ ni ɔmɛ a hɛ mi ke: “Nabot gbiɛ Mawu kɛ matsɛ ɔ!” Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, a ngɔ Nabot kɛ ho ma a se ya, nɛ a ya fiaa lɛ tɛ nɛ e gbo. 14 Jehanɛ ɔ, a tsɔ nɛ a kɛ sɛ gbi ya ha Yezebel ke: “A fiaa Nabot tɛ nɛ e gbo.”
15 Benɛ Yezebel nu kaa a fiaa Nabot tɛ nɛ e gbo ɔ, oya nɔuu nɛ e de Ahab ke: “Tee si nɛ o ya ngɔ Nabot, Yezreelno ɔ wai ngmɔ ɔ nɛ e kua juami ha mo ɔ, ejakaa Nabot be wami mi hu.

17 Se Yehowa kɛ sɛ gbi ha Eliya, nɛ ji Tishbe no ɔ ke: 18 “Tee si nɛ o kple kɛ ho nɛ o kɛ Israel Matsɛ Ahab nɛ ngɛ Samaria a nɛ ya kpe.

20 Ahab de Eliya ke: “Ye he nyɛlɔ, o nuu mi!” Eliya he nɔ ke: “Ee, i nuu mo. ‘Akɛnɛ o fia o pɛɛ si kaa o maa pee nɔ́ yayami* ngɛ Yehowa hɛ mi he je ɔ, 21 hyɛ, ma ngɔ haomi kɛ ba o nɔ, nɛ ma bɛɛ o se nyaii, nɛ ma kpata nyumu fɛɛ nyumu* nɛ je Ahab mi ɔ hɛ mi ngɛ Israel, nihi nɛ a be yemi kɛ bualɔ nɛ a gbɔjɔ hu piɛɛ he. 22 Nɛ ma pee o we ɔ kaa Yeroboam, Nebat binyumu ɔ we ɔ, kɛ Baasha, Ahiya binyumu ɔ we ɔ, ejakaa o wo ye mi mi la, nɛ o ha nɛ Israel pee yayami.’ 23 Jehanɛ hu ɔ, Yehowa de kɛ kɔ Yezebel he ke: ‘Gbehi maa ye Yezebel ngɛ Yezreel zugba a nɔ. 24 Ahab he nɔ ko nɛ ma gbo ngɛ ma a mi ɔ, gbehi maa ye lɛ, nɛ e he nɔ ko nɛ ma gbo ngɛ nga mi ɔ, hiɔwe lohwe pɛlitsɛmɛ maa ye lɛ. 25 Niinɛ, nɔ ko be nɛ e fia e pɛɛ si kaa e maa pee nɔ́ yayami* ngɛ Yehowa hɛ mi kaa Ahab nɛ́ e yo Yezebel tsitsɛɛ e kuɛ se ɔ. 26 E pee ní hiemi* ní nɛ pe kulaa kɛ gu wɔhi nɛ a he ngɛ tai* nɛ e ya nyɛɛ a se ɔ nɔ, kaa bɔ nɛ Amorbi ɔmɛ tsuo nɛ Yehowa fiee mɛ ngɛ Israelbi ɔmɛ a hɛ mi ɔ pee ɔ.’”
