¹Ahabi surma järel taganes Moab Iisraelist.

¹And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

²Kord kukkus Ahasja Samaarias oma ülakambri aknavõredest läbi ja jäi haigeks. Ta läkitas käskjalad ja ütles neile: 'Minge küsige Baal-Sebubilt, Ekroni jumalalt, kas ma saan terveks sellest haigusest.'

²And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber which was in Samaria, and was sick; and he sent messengers and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this disease.

³Aga Issanda ingel ütles tisbelasele Eelijale: 'Võta kätte, mine Samaaria kuninga käskjalgadele vastu ja küsi neilt: Kas ei ole Iisraelis Jumalat, et lähete küsima Baal-Sebubilt, Ekroni jumalalt?

³And the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?

⁴Seepärast ütleb Issand nõnda: Voodist, kuhu sa oled läinud, ei astu sa enam alla, vaid pead tõesti surema!' Ja Eelija läks teele.

⁴Now therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt certainly die. And Elijah departed.

⁵Ja kui käskjalad tulid tagasi kuninga juurde, siis küsis ta neilt: 'Miks te tagasi tulete?'

⁵And the messengers returned to him; and he said to them, Why have ye returned?

⁶Nad vastasid temale: 'Keegi mees tuli meile vastu ja ütles meile: Minge tagasi kuninga juurde, kes teid läkitas, ja öelge temale: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Kas ei ole Iisraelis Jumalat, et sa läkitad küsima Baal-Sebubilt, Ekroni jumalalt? Seepärast sa ei astu enam alla voodist, kuhu sa oled läinud, vaid pead tõesti surema!'

⁶And they said unto him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt certainly die.

⁷Siis ta küsis neilt: 'Kuidas nägi välja see mees, kes tuli teile vastu ja rääkis teile neid sõnu?'

⁷And he said to them, What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?

⁸Ja nad vastasid temale: 'Mees kandis karusnahka ja ta niuded olid vöötatud nahkvööga.' Siis ta ütles: 'See oli tisbelane Eelija.'

⁸And they said to him, He was a man in a hairy [garment], and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

⁹Ja ta läkitas tema juurde viiekümnepealiku ja selle viiskümmend meest; ja kui see läks üles tema juurde, vaata, siis istus ta mäetipus, ja viiekümnepealik ütles temale: 'Jumalamees, kuningas ütleb: Tule alla!'

⁹And he sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him, and behold, he sat on the top of the mount. And he spoke to him: Man of God, the king says, Come down!

¹⁰Aga Eelija kostis ja ütles viiekümnepealikule: 'Kui ma olen jumalamees, siis tulgu taevast tuli ja põletagu sind ja su viiskümmend meest!' Ja taevast tuligi tuli ning põletas tema ja ta viiskümmend meest.

¹⁰And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, And if I be a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from the heavens, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹¹Ja kuningas läkitas tema juurde teise viiekümnepealiku ja selle viiskümmend meest; ja see rääkis temaga ning ütles: 'Jumalamees, kuningas ütleb nõnda: Tule kähku alla!'

¹¹And again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he spoke and said to him, Man of God, thus says the king: Come down quickly!

¹²Aga Eelija kostis ja ütles neile: 'Kui ma olen jumalamees, siis tulgu taevast tuli ja põletagu sind ja su viiskümmend meest!' Ja taevast tuligi Jumala tuli ning põletas tema ja ta viiskümmend meest.

¹²And Elijah answered and said to them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from the heavens, and consumed him and his fifty.

¹³Ja ta läkitas veel kolmanda viiekümnepealiku ja selle viiskümmend meest. Ja see kolmas viiekümnepealik läks üles, aga kui ta pärale jõudis, siis ta heitis põlvili Eelija ette ja anus teda ning ütles temale: 'Jumalamees, olgu ometi su silmis kallis minu hing ja su sulaste, nende viiekümne hing!

¹³And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him and said to him, Man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

¹⁴Vaata, taevast langes tuli ning põletas kaks esimest viiekümnepealikut ja nende mehed. Aga olgu nüüd minu hing su silmis kallis!'

¹⁴Behold, there came down fire from the heavens, and consumed the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties; but now, let my life be precious in thy sight.

¹⁵Ja Issanda ingel ütles Eelijale: 'Mine koos temaga alla, ära karda teda!' Siis ta tõusis ja läks koos temaga alla kuninga juurde.

¹⁵And the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.

¹⁶Ja ta ütles kuningale: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand: Et sa läkitasid käskjalad küsima Baal-Sebubilt, Ekroni jumalalt, nagu ei oleks Iisraelis Jumalat, kellelt sõna küsida, siis ei astu sa enam alla voodist, kuhu sa oled läinud, vaid pead tõesti surema!'

¹⁶And he said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt certainly die.

¹⁷Ja ta suri Eelija räägitud Issanda sõna kohaselt. Ja tema asemel sai kuningaks Jooram, tema vend, sest temal ei olnud poega, Juuda kuninga Joorami, Joosafati poja teisel aastal.

¹⁷And he died according to the word of Jehovah that Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; for he had no son.

¹⁸Ja mis veel tuleks öelda Ahasjast, mis ta tegi, eks sellest ole kirjutatud Iisraeli kuningate Ajaraamatus?

¹⁸And the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
