¹Pärast neid sündmusi juhtus järgmine lugu: jisreellasel Naabotil oli viinamägi, mis asus Jisreelis Samaaria kuninga Ahabi palee kõrval.

¹It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

²Ja Ahab rääkis Naabotiga, öeldes: 'Anna oma viinamägi mulle rohuaiaks, sest see on mu kojale nii lähedal; mina annan sulle selle asemele parema viinamäe, või kui sa tahad, siis ma annan sulle selle hinna rahas.'

²Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”

³Aga Naabot vastas Ahabile: 'Issand hoidku mind selle eest, et annaksin sulle oma vanemate pärisosa!'

³Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”

⁴Ja Ahab tuli oma kotta, tusane ja raevutsev vastuse pärast, mille jisreellane Naabot oli temale andnud, öeldes: 'Ma ei anna sulle oma vanemate pärisosa!' Ja ta heitis voodisse, pööras oma näo ära ega söönud leiba.

⁴Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

⁵Siis tuli ta naine Iisebel tema juurde ja küsis temalt: 'Mispärast on su vaim nii vaevatud, et sa leibagi ei söö?'

⁵But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?”

⁶Ahab vastas temale: 'Sellepärast et ma rääkisin jisreellase Naabotiga ja ütlesin temale: Anna mulle oma viinamägi raha eest, või kui sulle meeldib, siis ma annan sulle selle asemele teise viinamäe! Aga tema vastas: Ma ei anna sulle oma viinamäge!'

⁶He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”

⁷Siis ta naine Iisebel ütles temale: 'Vist ikka sina valitsed praegu Iisraeli üle? Tõuse üles, võta leiba ja su süda olgu rõõmus! Mina ise annan sulle jisreellase Naaboti viinamäe.'

⁷Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”

⁸Ja ta kirjutas Ahabi nimel kirjad, sulges need tema pitseriga ja läkitas kirjad vanemaile ja suurnikele, kes elasid Naabotiga ühes linnas.

⁸So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.

⁹Ja kirjades oli ta kirjutanud ning öelnud: 'Kuulutage välja paast ja pange Naabot istuma rahva hulgas esikohale!

⁹She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹⁰Pange siis kaks kõlvatut meest istuma temaga vastamisi ja need tunnistagu ning öelgu: Sina oled teotanud Jumalat ja kuningat! Siis viige ta välja ja visake kividega surnuks!'

¹⁰Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”

¹¹Ja tema linna mehed, vanemad ja suurnikud, kes elasid ta linnas, tegid, nagu Iisebel neile oli sõna saatnud, nagu oli kirjutatud kirjades, mis ta neile oli läkitanud.

¹¹The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

¹²Nad kuulutasid välja paastu ja panid Naaboti istuma rahva hulgas esikohale.

¹²They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹³Ja kaks kõlvatut meest tulid ning istusid temaga vastamisi; ja need kõlvatud mehed tunnistasid rahva ees Naaboti vastu, öeldes: 'Naabot on teotanud Jumalat ja kuningat.' Siis viidi ta linnast välja ja visati kividega surnuks.

¹³The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

¹⁴Ja nad läkitasid Iisebelile ütlema: 'Naabot on kividega surnuks visatud.'

¹⁴Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.”

¹⁵Kui Iisebel kuulis, et Naabot oli kividega surnuks visatud, siis ütles Iisebel Ahabile: 'Tõuse üles, võta enesele jisreellase Naaboti viinamägi, mida ta ei tahtnud sulle anda raha eest, sest Naabot ei ole enam elus, vaid on surnud!'

¹⁵It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”

¹⁶Kui Ahab kuulis, et Naabot oli surnud, siis tõusis ta üles, et minna jisreellase Naaboti viinamäele seda enesele võtma.

¹⁶It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

¹⁷Aga tisbelasele Eelijale tuli Issanda sõna, kes ütles:

¹⁷The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

¹⁸'Võta kätte, mine vastu Iisraeli kuningale Ahabile, kes on Samaarias! Vaata, ta on Naaboti viinamäel, kuhu ta läks, et võtta seda enesele.

¹⁸“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

¹⁹Räägi temaga ja ütle: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Kas oled tapnud ja omastanud? Siis räägi temaga ja ütle: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Samas paigas, kus koerad lakkusid Naaboti verd, lakuvad koerad ka su enese verd!'

¹⁹You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”

²⁰Ja Ahab küsis Eelijalt: 'Kas nüüd leidsid mind, mu vaenlane?' Ja ta vastas: 'Leidsin. Sellepärast et sa oled ennast müünud tegema, mis Issanda silmis on kuri.

²⁰Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh.

²¹Vaata, ma lasen sulle tulla õnnetuse ja ma pühin sind ära, ma hävitan Ahabilt meesolendid, niihästi orjad kui vabad Iisraelis.

²¹Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, or, male and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.

²²Ja ma talitan sinu sooga nagu Nebati poja Jerobeami sooga ja nagu Ahija poja Baesa sooga, meelepaha pärast, mida sa mulle oled valmistanud, ja et sa oled saatnud Iisraeli pattu tegema.

²²I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”

²³Aga Issand rääkis ka Iisebeli kohta, öeldes: Koerad söövad Iisebeli Jisreeli põllul.

²³Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

²⁴Kes Ahabi omadest sureb linnas, selle söövad koerad, ja kes sureb väljal, selle söövad taeva linnud.'

²⁴The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”

²⁵Tõesti, ei ole olnud Ahabi sarnast, kes enese müüs tegema, mis Issanda silmis on kuri, sellepärast et ta naine Iisebel teda kihutas.

²⁵But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

²⁶Ta talitas väga põlastusväärselt, käies ebajumalate järel, nagu olid teinud emorlased, keda Issand oli ära ajanud Iisraeli laste eest.

²⁶He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.

²⁷Aga kui Ahab kuulis neid sõnu, siis ta käristas oma riided lõhki, pani kotiriide ümber ihu ja paastus; ja ta magas kotiriides ning käis tasahilju.

²⁷It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

²⁸Ja tisbelasele Eelijale tuli Issanda sõna, kes ütles:

²⁸The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

²⁹'Kas oled näinud, kuidas Ahab on ennast alandanud minu ees? Sellepärast et ta on ennast alandanud minu ees, ei saada ma temale õnnetust tema päevil; ma saadan tema soole õnnetuse ta poja päevil.'

²⁹“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil on his house.”
