17 Ke fa kgosi ya Iseraele e raya Josafate e re: “A ga ke a go bolelela gore Miga ga a bolelele pele tse di molemo ka ga me fa e se tse di bosula fela.”
18 Miga a ba a re: “Ka moo utlwang lefoko laMorena. Ke bonyeMorenaa dutse mo sedulong sa gagwe sa bogosi le mephato yotlhe ya legodimo e eme mo ntlheng ya le le jang la gagwe le mo ntlheng ya la molema.
19 Morenaa re: ‘Ke mang yo o tla tsietsang Ahabe kgosi ya Iseraele gore a bolole, a tle a swele kwa Ramothe kwa Gileate?’ Mongwe a bua jaana, yo mongwe a bua ka go sele.
20 Ga tlhagelela mowa wa ema fa pele gaMorenawa re: ‘Ke nna ke tla mo tsietsang.’ MmeMorenaa o botsa a re: ‘Ka eng?’

22 “Jaanong he, bona,Morenao tsentse mowa wa maaka mo melomong ya baporofeti botlhe bao ba gago, mme totaMorenao buile tsa tatlhego ka ga gago.”
23 Ke fa Setekia morwa Kenana a atamela a faphola Miga mo lesameng a re: “Mowa waMorenao ntlogetse jang, wa bua nao?”
24 Miga a araba a re: “O tla bona ka letsatsi leo o tla tsenang ntlo le ntlwana ka lone go batla maiphitlho.”
25 Mme kgosi ya Iseraele ya re: “Tshwarang Miga, lo mmusetse kwa go Amone molaodi wa motse le kwa go Joase morwa kgosi,
26 lo re: ‘Kgosi e buile jaana ya re: Tsenyang yo mo ntlong ya kgolegelo, a jele bogobe tlase le metsi a se ka a mo lekana go fitlhelela ke boe ka kagiso.’ ”
