¹Joosafatil oli palju rikkust ning au ja ta sai Ahabiga languks.

¹Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab.

²Mõne aasta pärast läks ta Ahabi juurde alla Samaariasse; Ahab tappis palju lambaid, kitsi ja veiseid temale ja rahvale, kes oli koos temaga, ja õhutas teda minema üles Gileadi Raamotisse.

²After certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.

³Ja Iisraeli kuningas Ahab küsis Juuda kuningalt Joosafatilt: 'Kas tuled koos minuga Gileadi Raamotisse?' Ja Joosafat vastas temale: 'Nagu sina, nõnda mina, nagu sinu rahvas, nõnda minu rahvas! Ma tulen koos sinuga sõtta.'

³Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”

⁴Ja Joosafat ütles Iisraeli kuningale: 'Küsi ometi enne Issanda sõna!'

⁴Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of Yahweh.”

⁵Siis Iisraeli kuningas kogus kokku prohvetid, nelisada meest, ja küsis neilt: 'Kas me võime minna sõdima Gileadi Raamoti vastu või ma pean loobuma?' Ja nad vastasid: 'Mine, ja Jumal annab selle kuninga kätte!'

⁵Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”

⁶Aga Joosafat küsis: 'Kas ei ole siin veel mõnda Issanda prohvetit, et saaksime temalt küsida?'

⁶But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?”

⁷Ja Iisraeli kuningas vastas Joosafatile: 'On küll veel üks mees, kellelt saaks küsida Issanda nõu. Aga mina vihkan teda, sest ta ei kuuluta mulle head, vaid alati halba. See on Miika, Jimla poeg.' Aga Joosafat ütles: 'Kuningas ärgu rääkigu nõnda!'

⁷The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”

⁸Siis Iisraeli kuningas kutsus ühe hoovkondlase ja ütles: 'Kähku siia Miika, Jimla poeg!'

⁸Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.”

⁹Iisraeli kuningas ja Juuda kuningas Joosafat istusid kumbki oma aujärjel, mantlid seljas; nad istusid rehepeksu väljakul Samaaria värava suus ja kõik prohvetid kuulutasid nende ees.

⁹Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

¹⁰Sidkija, Kenaana poeg, oli teinud enesele raudsarved ja ütles: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand: Nendega pead sa puskima süürlasi, kuni nad on hävitatud!'

¹⁰Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”

¹¹Ja kõik prohvetid kuulutasid sedasama ning ütlesid: 'Mine Gileadi Raamotisse ja see õnnestub sul, sest Issand annab selle kuninga kätte!'

¹¹All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”

¹²Ja käskjalg, kes oli läinud Miikat kutsuma, rääkis temaga ning ütles: 'Vaata, prohvetite sõnad on nagu ühest suust kuningale head; olgu siis sinugi sõna nagu ühel nende hulgast, ja räägi head!'

¹²The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good.”

¹³Aga Miika vastas: 'Nii tõesti kui Issand elab, mina räägin, mis mu Jumal ütleb!'

¹³Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, what my God says, that will I speak.”

¹⁴Kui ta tuli kuninga juurde, siis kuningas ütles temale: 'Miika! Kas me võime minna sõdima Gileadi Raamoti vastu või ma pean loobuma?' Ja ta vastas: 'Minge, ja teil õnnestub see, sest nad antakse teie kätte!'

¹⁴When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” He said, “Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand.”

¹⁵Aga kuningas ütles temale: 'Mitu korda ma pean sind vannutama, et sa ei räägiks mulle muud kui ainult tõtt Issanda nimel?'

¹⁵The king said to him, “How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”

¹⁶Siis ta ütles: 'Ma nägin kogu Iisraeli hajali olevat mägedel nagu lambad, kellel ei ole karjast. Ja Issand ütles: Neil pole isandaid. Igaüks pöördugu rahuga koju!'

¹⁶He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them return every man to his house in peace.’”

¹⁷Siis ütles Iisraeli kuningas Joosafatile: 'Eks ma öelnud sulle, et ta ei kuuluta mulle head, küll aga halba!'

¹⁷The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”

¹⁸Aga Miika ütles: 'Seepärast kuulge Issanda sõna! Ma nägin Issandat istuvat oma aujärjel ja kogu taeva sõjaväe seisvat temast paremal ja vasakul pool.

¹⁸Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

¹⁹Ja Issand ütles: Kes tahaks ahvatleda Ahabit, Iisraeli kuningat, et ta läheks ja langeks Gileadi Raamotis? Siis rääkis üks nii ja teine rääkis naa.

¹⁹Yahweh said, ‘Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.

²⁰Aga üks vaim tuli ja seisis Issanda ees ning ütles: Mina ahvatlen teda! Ja Issand küsis temalt: Kuidas?

²⁰A spirit came out, stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’

²¹Tema vastas: Ma lähen ja olen vale vaim kõigi ta prohvetite suus. Siis ütles Issand: Sina oled ahvatleja ja küllap sa suudad. Mine ja tee nõnda!

²¹“He said, ‘I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ “He said, ‘You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go forth, and do so.’

²²Ja nüüd, vaata, Issand on pannud vale vaimu nende sinu prohvetite suhu ja Issand on kuulutanud sulle halba.'

²²“Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.”

²³Siis astus ligi Sidkija, Kenaana poeg, ja lõi Miikat põse pihta ning küsis: 'Missugust teed on Issanda Vaim minust läinud sinusse rääkima?'

²³Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh go from me to speak to you?”

²⁴Ja Miika vastas: 'Vaata, sa näed seda päeval, kui sa pead minema kambrist kambrisse, et ennast peita!'

²⁴Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you shall go into an inner room to hide yourself.”

²⁵Siis ütles Iisraeli kuningas: 'Võtke Miika ja viige ta tagasi linnapealik Aamoni ja kuningapoeg Joase juurde

²⁵The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;

²⁶ning öelge: Nõnda ütleb kuningas: Pange ta vangikotta ja toitke teda hädapäraselt leiva ja veega, kuni ma rahuga tagasi tulen!'

²⁶and say, ‘Thus says the king, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.”’”

²⁷Aga Miika ütles: 'Kui sa tõesti rahuga tagasi tuled, siis ei ole Issand minu läbi rääkinud!' Ja ta ütles veel: 'Kuulge, kõik rahvad!'

²⁷Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you peoples, all of you!”

²⁸Ja Iisraeli kuningas ja Joosafat, Juuda kuningas, läksid üles Gileadi Raamotisse.

²⁸So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.

²⁹Ja Iisraeli kuningas ütles Joosafatile: 'Mina panen sõtta minnes teised riided selga, aga sina kanna oma riideid!' Ja Iisraeli kuningas pani teised riided selga ja nad läksid sõtta.

²⁹The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.

³⁰Aga Süüria kuningas oli andnud käsu oma sõjavankrite pealikuile ja oli öelnud: 'Ärge tapelge mitte ühegi muu, vähema või suurema vastu kui üksnes Iisraeli kuninga vastu!'

³⁰Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”

³¹Kui siis sõjavankrite pealikud nägid Joosafatti, ütlesid nad: 'See on Iisraeli kuningas!' Ja nad pöördusid tema vastu sõdima. Siis Joosafat hakkas kisendama ja Issand aitas teda: Jumal meelitas nad tema kallalt ära.

³¹It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

³²Kui sõjavankrite pealikud nägid, et see ei olnudki Iisraeli kuningas, siis nad pöördusid tagasi tema kannult.

³²It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

³³Aga keegi mees, kes oli huupi oma ammu vinna tõmmanud, tabas Iisraeli kuningat rihmade ja soomustuse vahele. Ja kuningas ütles sõjavankri juhile: 'Pööra ümber ja vii mind võitlusest välja, sest ma olen haavatud!'

³³A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me out of the army; for I am severely wounded.”

³⁴Kuid taplus üha ägenes sel päeval ja Iisraeli kuningas pidi jääma vankrisse süürlaste vastu kuni õhtuni; aga päikeseloojaku ajal ta suri.

³⁴The battle increased that day. However the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and about the time of the going down of the sun, he died.
