¹Aga pärast seda tulid moabid ja ammonlased, ja nendega koos oli meunlasi, Joosafati vastu sõdima.

¹And it came to pass after this [that] the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them certain of the Maonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

²Siis tuldi ja teatati Joosafatile: 'Sinu vastu tuleb suur jõuk teiselt poolt merd Aramist. Vaata, nad on Haseson-Taamaris, see on Een-Gedis!'

²And they came and told Jehoshaphat saying, A great multitude is come against thee from beyond the sea, from Syria; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar, which is Engedi.

³Siis Joosafat hakkas kartma ja pööras oma palge Issandat otsima; ta kuulutas välja paastu kogu Juudas.

³And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.

⁴Ja Juuda kogunes Issandalt abi otsima, ka kõigist Juuda linnadest tuldi Issandat otsima.

⁴And Judah gathered themselves together to ask [help] of Jehovah: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek Jehovah.

⁵Ja Joosafat seisis Juuda ja Jeruusalemma koguduses Issanda kojas uue õue ees

⁵And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, before the new court;

⁶ning ütles: 'Issand, meie vanemate Jumal, kas pole mitte sina Jumal taevas ja kõigi paganate kuningriikide valitseja? Sinu käes on ju jõud ja vägi, ja ükski ei suuda sulle vastu panna.

⁶and he said, Jehovah, God of our fathers, art not thou God in the heavens, and rulest thou not over all the kingdoms of the nations? And in thy hand there is power and might, and none can withstand thee.

⁷Eks ole sina, meie Jumal, ära ajanud selle maa elanikud oma Iisraeli rahva eest ja andnud maa igaveseks ajaks oma sõbra Aabrahami soole?

⁷Hast not thou, our God, dispossessed the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and given it for ever to the seed of Abraham, thy friend?

⁸Nemad on seal elanud ja on seal ehitanud sinule, su nimele pühamu, öeldes:

⁸And they have dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,

⁹Kui meid tabab õnnetus, mõõk, kohus, katk või nälg, siis me astume selle koja ette ja sinu ette, sest selles kojas on sinu nimi. Ja me hüüame sinu poole oma kitsikuses, et sa meid kuuleksid ja aitaksid.

⁹If evil come upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, and we stand before this house and before thee -- for thy name is in this house -- and cry unto thee in our distress, then thou wilt hear and save.

¹⁰Ja nüüd, vaata, Ammoni, Moabi ja Seiri mäestiku pojad, kelle maast sa ei lubanud Iisraeli läbi minna, kui nad Egiptusemaalt tulid, vaid pidid neist mööda minema ega saanud neid hävitada,

¹⁰And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab, and those of mount Seir, amongst whom thou wouldest not let Israel go when they came out of the land of Egypt, (for they turned from them, and destroyed them not,)

¹¹vaata, need maksavad nüüd meile kätte, tulles meid välja ajama sinu omandist, mille sa meile oled andnud pärida.

¹¹behold, they reward us, in coming to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to possess.

¹²Meie Jumal, kas sa ei tahaks nende üle kohut mõista? Sest meil pole jõudu selle suure jõugu ees, kes tuleb meile kallale, ja me ise ei tea, mida peaksime tegema, vaid meie silmad vaatavad sinu poole!'

¹²Our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might in presence of this great company which cometh against us, neither know we what to do; but our eyes are upon thee.

¹³Ja kogu Juuda seisis Issanda ees, isegi nende väetid, nende naised ja lapsed.

¹³And all Judah stood before Jehovah, with their little ones, their wives, and their sons.

¹⁴Ja Issanda Vaim tuli Jahasieli, Sakarja poja peale, kes oli Aasafi järeltulijaist pärit oleva leviit Mattanja poja Jeieli poja Benaja poja Sakarja poeg,

¹⁴And upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, upon him came the Spirit of Jehovah, in the midst of the congregation;

¹⁵ja ta ütles: 'Pange tähele, kogu Juuda, Jeruusalemma elanikud ja kuningas Joosafat: Nõnda ütleb teile Issand: Ärge kartke ja ärge tundke hirmu selle suure jõugu ees, sest see pole teie, vaid Jumala sõda!

¹⁵and he said, Be attentive, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat! Thus saith Jehovah unto you: Fear not, nor be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

¹⁶Minge homme alla nende vastu! Vaata, nad tulevad üles mööda Siisi tõusuteed ja te kohtate neid oru lõpus ida pool Jerueli kõrbe.

¹⁶To-morrow go down against them: behold, they come up by the ascent of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.

¹⁷Seejuures ei ole teil vaja sõdida. Astuge ette, seiske ja vaadake, kuidas Issand teid päästab, Juuda ja Jeruusalemm! Ärge kartke ja ärge tundke hirmu! Minge homme nende vastu ja Issand on teiega!'

¹⁷Ye shall not have to fight on this occasion: set yourselves, stand and see the salvation of Jehovah [who is] with you! Judah and Jerusalem, fear not nor be dismayed; to-morrow go out against them, and Jehovah will be with you.

¹⁸Siis Joosafat kummardas silmili maha ja kõik Juuda ja Jeruusalemma elanikud heitsid Issanda ette ning kummardasid Issandat.

¹⁸And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah.

¹⁹Ja need leviidid, kes olid kehatlastest ja korahlastest, tõusid üles, et Issandat, Iisraeli Jumalat, ülivalju häälega kiita.

¹⁹And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the sons of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah the God of Israel with an exceeding loud voice.

²⁰Ja järgmisel hommikul tõusid nad vara ning läksid Tekoa kõrbe. Nende välja minnes astus Joosafat ette ja ütles: 'Kuulge mind, Juuda ja Jeruusalemma elanikud! Uskuge Issandasse, oma Jumalasse, siis te jääte püsima! Uskuge tema prohveteid, siis õnnestub teil kõik!'

²⁰And they rose early in the morning, and went forth towards the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Jehovah your God, and ye shall be established; believe his prophets, and ye shall prosper!

²¹Ja ta pidas rahvaga nõu, seadis Issandale lauljad ja kiitjad, kes pühas ehtes pidid minema relvastatute ees ja ütlema: 'Tänage Issandat, sest tema heldus kestab igavesti!'

²¹And he consulted with the people, and appointed singers to Jehovah, and those that should praise in holy splendour, as they went forth before the armed men, and say, Give thanks to Jehovah; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever!

²²Sel ajal, kui nad hakkasid hõiskama ja kiitma, pani Issand varitsejad Ammoni, Moabi ja Seiri mäestiku poegadele, kes olid tulnud Juuda vastu; ja nad löödi maha.

²²And when they began the song of triumph and praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, who had come against Judah, and they were smitten.

²³Sest ammonlased ja moabid tõusid Seiri mäestiku elanike vastu, et need hävitada ja kaotada; ja kui nad Seiri elanikele olid lõpu teinud, siis aitasid nad üksteist hävitada.

²³And the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to exterminate and destroy [them]; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

²⁴Kui siis Juuda jõudis vaatluspaika kõrbes ja nad vaatasid jõugu poole, ennäe, siis lamasid laibad maas ja ükski polnud pääsenud.

²⁴And Judah came on to the mountain-watch in the wilderness, and they looked toward the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none had escaped.

²⁵Ja Joosafat ja tema rahvas tulid neilt saaki riisuma ja leidsid nende juurest palju varandust, riideid ja kalleid riistu, ja nad võtsid endile rohkem, kui nad suutsid kanda; nad olid kolm päeva saaki riisumas, sest seda oli palju.

²⁵And Jehoshaphat and his people came to plunder the spoil of them, and they found among them in abundance, both riches with the dead bodies, and precious things, and they stripped off for themselves more than they could carry away; and they were three days in plundering the spoil, it was so much.

²⁶Ja neljandal päeval kogunesid nad Kiituseorgu, sest seal kiitsid nad Issandat; seepärast nimetatakse seda paika Kiituseoruks tänapäevani.

²⁶And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah, for there they blessed Jehovah; therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Berachah, to this day.

²⁷Siis pöördusid kõik Juuda ja Jeruusalemma mehed, ja Joosafat nende eesotsas, rõõmuga tagasi Jeruusalemma, sest Issand oli neid lasknud nende vaenlastest rõõmu tunda.

²⁷And they returned, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat at their head, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

²⁸Ja nad tulid naablite, kannelde ja pasunatega Jeruusalemma Issanda kotta.

²⁸And they came to Jerusalem with lutes and harps and trumpets, to the house of Jehovah.

²⁹Aga hirm Jumala ees valdas kõigi maade kuningriike, kui nad kuulsid, et Issand oli sõdinud Iisraeli vaenlaste vastu.

²⁹And the terror of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had heard that Jehovah fought against the enemies of Israel.

³⁰Siis oli Joosafati kuningriigil vaikne aeg; tema Jumal andis talle ümberkaudu rahu.

³⁰And the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; and his God gave him rest round about.

³¹Ja Joosafat valitses Juuda üle; ta oli kuningaks saades kolmkümmend viis aastat vana ja ta valitses Jeruusalemmas kakskümmend viis aastat; ta ema nimi oli Asuuba, Silhi tütar.

³¹And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.

³²Ta käis oma isa Aasa teed ega lahkunud sellelt, tehes, mis õige oli Issanda silmis.

³²And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah.

³³Aga ohvrikünkad ei kadunud ja rahvas ei olnud veel valmistanud oma südant oma vanemate Jumalale.

³³Only, the high places were not removed; and as yet the people had not directed their hearts to the God of their fathers.

³⁴Ja muud Joosafati lood, varasemad ja hilisemad, vaata, need on kirja pandud Jehu, Hanani poja lugudes, mis on võetud Iisraeli Kuningate raamatusse.

³⁴And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the words of Jehu the son of Hanani, which are inserted in the book of the kings of Israel.

³⁵Ja pärast seda astus Juuda kuningas Joosafat ühendusse Iisraeli kuninga Ahasjaga, kes tegi õelat tööd.

³⁵And after this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly.

³⁶Ta ühines temaga laevu ehitama, mis pidid minema Tarsisesse; nad ehitasid laevu Esjon-Geberis.

³⁶And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish; and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.

³⁷Aga Elieser, Dodavahu poeg Maaresast, kuulutas prohvetlikult Joosafati vastu, öeldes: 'Sellepärast, et sa oled liitunud Ahasjaga, purustab Issand su töö!' Ja laevad hukkusid ega saanudki minna Tarsisesse.

³⁷And Eliezer the son of Dodavah, of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has broken thy works. And the ships were broken, and could not go to Tarshish.
