7 Kɛkɛ nɛ Israel matsɛ ɔ tsɛ nikɔtɔmahi tsuo nɛ a ngɛ ma a mi ɔ, nɛ e de mɛ ke: “I kpa nyɛ pɛɛ, nyɛɛ hyɛ, nyumu nɛ ɔ ma e juɛmi nya si kaa e kɛ haomi maa ba wa nɔ, ejakaa e bi konɛ ma ngɔ ye yi ɔmɛ, ye binyumu ɔmɛ, ye sika hiɔ, kɛ ye sika tsu kɛ ha lɛ, nɛ i kua we.” 8 Nɛ nikɔtɔma amɛ tsuo kɛ ni ɔmɛ tsuo de lɛ ke: “Koo bu tue, nɛ koo kplɛɛ.” 9 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, e de Benhadad tsɔli ɔmɛ ke: “Nyɛ ya de ye nyɔmtsɛ matsɛ ɔ ke, ‘Níhi tsuo nɛ o sɛ hlami bi ngɛ o sɔmɔlɔ ɔ dɛ ɔ, ma pee, se enɛ ɔ lɛɛ, i be nyɛe ma pee.’” Kɛkɛ nɛ tsɔli ɔmɛ pue nɔ kɛ ho, nɛ a ya bɔ lɛ amaniɛ.

10 Jehanɛ ɔ, Benhadad tsɔ nɛ a kɛ sɛ gbi nɛ ɔ ya ha lɛ ke: “Ke zu nɛ ngɛ Samaria a hiɛ bɔ nɛ ke i ha nihi nɛ a nyɛɛ ye se ɔ, nɔ fɛɛ nɔ ma ná dɛ kɔkɔ kake ɔ, lɛɛ mawu ɔmɛ kɛ mi nɛ ye, nɛ́ a kɛ mi nɛ ye wawɛɛ nitsɛ!” 11 Israel matsɛ ɔ he nɔ nɛ e de ke: “Nyɛ ya de lɛ ke, ‘Nɔ nɛ ngɛ e ta hwumi tade woe ɔ nɛ ko fĩa kaa nɔ nɛ ngɛ e ta hwumi tade jee ɔ.’” 12 Benɛ Benhadad kɛ matsɛmɛ ɔmɛ ngɛ ní nue ngɛ a bo tsuhi a mi nɛ e nu munyu nɛ ɔ, oya nɔuu nɛ e de e sɔmɔli ɔmɛ ke: “Nyɛ dla nyɛ he konɛ nyɛ ya tua ma a!” Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, a dla a he konɛ a ya tua ma a.

13 Se gbalɔ ko ya Israel Matsɛ Ahab ngɔ, nɛ e ya de lɛ ke: “Nɔ́ nɛ Yehowa ngɛ dee ji nɛ ɔ nɛ, ‘Anɛ o ngɛ nimli babauu nɛ ɔ tsuo hyɛe lo?

15 Kɛkɛ nɛ Ahab kane kpokpa amɛ a mi nikɔtɔma amɛ a tsɔli ɔmɛ, nɛ a yibɔ ji 232; lɔ ɔ se ɔ, e kane Israel nyumu ɔmɛ tsuo, nɛ a yibɔ ji 7,000. 16 A je kpo kɛ ho piani katakata benɛ Benhadad kɛ matsɛmɛ 32 nɛ a yeɔ bua lɛ ɔ nu dã nɛ a de ngɛ a bo tsu ɔmɛ a mi ɔ. 17 Benɛ kpokpa amɛ a mi nikɔtɔma amɛ a tsɔli ɔmɛ je kpo kɛ ba kekle ɔ, oya nɔuu nɛ Benhadad tsɔ tsɔli.

Kɛkɛ nɛ Siriabi ɔmɛ tu fo, nɛ Israelbi ɔmɛ fiee a se, se Siria Matsɛ Benhadad hi okpɔngɔ nɔ, nɛ e kɛ okpɔngɔ nɔ hili ɔmɛ a ti ni komɛ tu fo. 21 Se Israel matsɛ ɔ je kpo, nɛ e ya nɔ nɛ e fiaa okpɔngɔ nɔ hili ɔmɛ kɛ zugba lɛ mi hili ɔmɛ ní, nɛ e ye Siriabi ɔmɛ a nɔ kunimi wawɛɛ nitsɛ.*

22 Pee se ɔ, gbalɔ ɔ ba Israel matsɛ ɔ ngɔ, nɛ e ba de lɛ ke: “Yaa nɛ o ya wo o he he wami, nɛ́ o susu nɔ́ nɛ o maa pee ɔ he, ejakaa ke jeha nɛ ma* a je sisi pɛ ɔ, Siria matsɛ ɔ maa kuɔ kɛ ba tua mo.”

23 Jehanɛ ɔ, Siria matsɛ ɔ sɔmɔli ɔmɛ de lɛ ke: “A Mawu ɔ ji yokuhi a Mawu. Lɔ ɔ he je nɛ a ye wa nɔ kunimi ɔ nɛ. Se ke waa kɛ mɛ hwu ngɛ zugba nɛ fɔɔ si tɛtlɛɛ nɔ ɔ, wa maa ye a nɔ kunimi. 24 Jehanɛ hu ɔ, moo pee nɔ́ nɛ ɔ: Mo je matsɛmɛ ɔmɛ tsuo ngɛ a blɔ hehi nɛ o ngɔ amlaalohi kɛ to a nane mi. 25 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, mo bua tabo ko nya* nɛ a hiɛmi maa su tabo nɛ gbo ɔ, nɛ́ o bua okpɔngɔhi kɛ zugba lɛhi hu a nya jã nɔuu.

26 Jeha* a sisije ɔ, Benhadad bua Siriabi ɔmɛ a nya, nɛ a kuɔ kɛ ho Afek ya konɛ a kɛ Israel nɛ ya hwu ta. 27 A bua Israelbi ɔmɛ hu a nya, nɛ a ha mɛ niye ní, nɛ a je kpo kɛ ho konɛ a kɛ mɛ nɛ ya kpe. Benɛ Israelbi ɔmɛ to si ngɛ Siriabi ɔmɛ a hɛ mi ɔ, a ngɛ kaa apletsi kuu nyafinyafi enyɔ, be mi nɛ Siriabi ɔmɛ lɛɛ a hyi zugba a nɔ tsuo tɔ. 28 Kɛkɛ nɛ anɔkuale Mawu ɔ nɔmlɔ ɔ ba Israel matsɛ ɔ ngɔ, nɛ e ba de lɛ ke: “Nɔ́ nɛ Yehowa ngɛ dee ji nɛ ɔ nɛ, ‘Akɛnɛ Siriabi ɔmɛ de ke: “Yehowa ji yokuhi a Mawu, se pi zugba nɛ fɔɔ si tɛtlɛɛ Mawu he je ɔ,” ma ngɔ nimli babauu nɛ ɔ tsuo kɛ wo o dɛ, nɛ nyɛ ma ná maa le kaa imi ji Yehowa.’”

31 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, e sɔmɔli ɔmɛ de lɛ ke: “Hyɛ, wa nu kaa Israel we ɔ matsɛmɛ ɔmɛ ji matsɛmɛ nɛ a naa nɔ mɔbɔ.* I kpa mo pɛɛ, ha nɛ waa kɛ kpekpe nɛ mwɔ wa mlɛ mi, nɛ́ waa ngɔ kpahi kɛ fĩ wa yi, nɛ́ waa je kpo kɛ ya Israel matsɛ ɔ ngɔ.
