¹Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

¹Ja Jooram, Ahabi poeg, sai Samaarias Iisraeli kuningaks Juuda kuninga Joosafati kaheksateistkümnendal aastal ja ta valitses kaksteist aastat.

²And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.

²Tema tegi kurja Issanda silmis, aga mitte nõnda nagu ta isa ja ema, sest ta kõrvaldas Baali samba, mille ta isa oli teinud.

³Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.

³Ometi püsis ta Nebati poja Jerobeami pattudes, millega too oli saatnud Iisraeli pattu tegema; neist ta ei loobunud.

⁴Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered unto the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.

⁴Moabi kuningas Meesa oli lambakasvataja ja tema andis maksuna Iisraeli kuningale sada tuhat lambatalle ja saja tuhande jäära villad.

⁵But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.

⁵Aga kui Ahab suri, siis Moabi kuningas taganes Iisraeli kuningast.

⁶And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.

⁶Siis läks kuningas Jooram päevapealt Samaariast välja ja luges üle kogu Iisraeli.

⁷And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

⁷Ja ta läks ning läkitas teate Juuda kuningale Joosafatile: 'Moabi kuningas on minust taganenud. Kas tuled koos minuga sõdima Moabi vastu?' Ja too vastas: 'Tulen. Ma olen nagu sina, minu rahvas nagu sinu rahvas, minu hobused nagu sinu hobused.'

⁸And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom.

⁸Ja ta küsis: 'Missugust teed me läheme?' Ja Jooram vastas: 'Edomi kõrbe teed.'

⁹So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them.

⁹Nii läksid Iisraeli kuningas ja Juuda kuningas ja Edomi kuningas. Aga kui nad olid käinud seitsme päeva tee, siis ei olnud vett sõjaväel ega loomadel, kes nende kannul käisid.

¹⁰And the king of Israel said, Alas! for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

¹⁰Ja Iisraeli kuningas ütles: 'Oh häda! Küllap on Issand kutsunud need kolm kuningat, et neid Moabi kätte anda.'

¹¹But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

¹¹Aga Joosafat ütles: 'Kas ei ole siin mõnda Issanda prohvetit, kelle läbi me saaksime küsida Issandalt?' Siis kostis keegi Iisraeli kuninga sulastest ja ütles: 'Siin on Eliisa, Saafati poeg, kes valas vett Eelija käte peale.'

¹²And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

¹²Joosafat ütles: 'Temal on Issanda sõna.' Siis läksid Iisraeli kuningas ja Joosafat ja Edomi kuningas tema juurde.

¹³And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay; for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

¹³Aga Eliisa ütles Iisraeli kuningale: 'Mis on mul sinuga tegemist? Mine oma isa ja ema prohvetite juurde!' Ent Iisraeli kuningas ütles temale: 'Ei, Issand on kutsunud need kolm kuningat, et neid Moabi kätte anda.'

¹⁴And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.

¹⁴Siis ütles Eliisa: 'Nii tõesti kui elab vägede Issand, kelle ees ma seisan, kui ma ei peaks lugu Joosafatist, Juuda kuningast, siis ma ei vaatakski su poole ega näekski sind.

¹⁵But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah came upon him.

¹⁵Nüüd aga tooge mulle üks mängumees!' Ja kui mängumees kannelt lõi, siis sündis, et Issanda käsi tuli tema peale

¹⁶And he said, Thus saith Jehovah, Make this valley full of trenches.

¹⁶ja ta ütles: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand: Tehke siia orgu auk augu kõrvale!

¹⁷For thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts.

¹⁷Sest Issand ütleb nõnda: Te ei saa näha tuult ega vihma, kuid see org tuleb vett täis ja te saate juua, teie ja teie karjad ja veoloomad.

¹⁸And this is but a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.

¹⁸Aga see on Issanda silmis tühine asi - ta annab ka Moabi teie kätte

¹⁹And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

¹⁹ja te vallutate kõik kindlustatud linnad ja kõik paremad linnad, te raiute maha kõik head puud, matate kinni kõik veeallikad ja rikute kividega kõik head põllud.'

²⁰And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

²⁰Ja hommikul, roaohvri ajal, vaata, siis sündis, et Edomi poolt tuli vesi ja maa täitus veega.

²¹Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.

²¹Kui kõik moabid kuulsid, et kuningad olid tulnud sõdima nende vastu, siis hüüti kokku kõik, kes suutsid vööd vööle panna, ja neist vanemad, ja nad asusid teele.

²²And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood:

²²Aga kui nad hommikul vara üles tõusid ja päike paistis vee peale, siis nägid moabid, et vesi nende ees oli punane nagu veri.

²³and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each man his fellow: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.

²³Ja nad ütlesid: 'See on veri! Kuningad on isekeskis mõõkadega raiunud ja üksteist maha löönud. Ja nüüd, Moab, saagile!'

²⁴And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.

²⁴Aga kui nad tulid Iisraeli leeri, siis tõusid Iisraeli lapsed ja lõid moabe ning need põgenesid nende eest; aga nad tungisid edasi ja lõid moabe.

²⁵And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth [only] they left the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.

²⁵Ja nad kiskusid maha linnad, igamees viskas kive igale heale põllule ja nad täitsid need; ja nad matsid kinni kõik veeallikad ja raiusid maha kõik head puud. Lõpuks jäid alles ainult Kiir-Hareseti müürid, mida lingumehed piirasid ja tabasid.

²⁶And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to break through unto the king of Edom; but they could not.

²⁶Kui Moabi kuningas nägi, et taplus käis temale üle jõu, siis võttis ta enesega kaasa seitsesada mõõgatõmbajat meest, et murda läbi Edomi kuninga kohalt; aga nad ei suutnud.

²⁷Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.

²⁷Siis ta võttis oma esmasündinud poja, kes pidi saama tema asemel kuningaks, ja ohverdas selle põletusohvriks müüri peal. Siis valdas suur viha Iisraeli ja nad läksid ära tema kallalt ning tulid tagasi oma maale.
