24 Mpoonya Mikaya wakaingula kuti: “Uyakwiibona nzila eeyo mubuzuba oobo waakunjila mukaanda kamukati kuti uyube.”
25 Kumane mwami wa Israyeli wakati: “Amumubweze Mikaya akumusiya mumaanza aa Amoni silutwe wamunzi amumaanza aa Joasi mwana wamwami.
26 Mukabaambile kuti, ‘Mboobu mbwaamba mwami: “Amumubikke muntolongo mwaalumi ooyu+ alimwi kamumupa cakulya cisyoonto amaanzi aakunywa masyoonto kusikila ndikapiluke muluumuno.”’”
27 Pele Mikaya wakati: “Ikuti ukapiluke muluumuno, nkokuti Jehova kunyina naambaula andime pe.”+ Kumane wakayungizya kuti: “Kamwaayeeyede majwi aangu, nobantu nyoonse.”
28 Aboobo mwami wa Israyeli a Jehosafati mwami wa Juda bakaunka ku Ramoti-gileadi.+
