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

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

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

²And he wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; and he took away the column of Baal that his father had made.

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

³Only, he clave to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel to sin: he did not depart therefrom.

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

⁴And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.

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

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

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

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

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.'

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

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

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

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.

⁹And 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 army, and for the cattle that followed them.

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

¹⁰And the king of Israel said, Alas! that Jehovah has called these three kings together, to give them into the hand of Moab!

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.'

¹¹And 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, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

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

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

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.'

¹³And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Not so, for Jehovah has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.'

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

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

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

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.

²¹And all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, and they were called together, all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood by the border.

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

²²And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side red as blood.

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

²³And they said, This is blood: the kings are entirely destroyed, and have smitten one another; and now, Moab, to the spoil!

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.

²⁴And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, and they fled before them; and they entered in and smote Moab.

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.

²⁵And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone and filled it, and they stopped every well of water, and felled every good tree, until they left [only] the stones at Kirhareseth; and the slingers went about it, and smote it.

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.

²⁶And the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, and he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not.

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.

²⁷And he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him up 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.
