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

¹It happened after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, 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!'

²Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).

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

³Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek to Yahweh. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

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

⁴Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help from Yahweh. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek Yahweh.

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

⁵Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of Yahweh, 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, “Yahweh, the God of our fathers, aren’t you God in heaven? Aren’t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.

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

⁷Didn’t you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the seed of Abraham your friend forever?

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

⁸They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your 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.

⁹‘If evil comes on us—the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you, (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will 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,

¹⁰Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them, and didn’t destroy them;

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

¹¹behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.

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, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us; neither know we what to do, but our eyes are on you.”

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

¹³All Judah stood before Yahweh, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

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

¹⁴Then the Spirit of Yahweh came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the midst of the assembly;

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, “Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you king Jehoshaphat. Thus says Yahweh to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, neither 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.

¹⁶Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You 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!'

¹⁷You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for Yahweh is with you.’”

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

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

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

¹⁹The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Yahweh, 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!'

²⁰They rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in Yahweh your God, so you shall be established! Believe his prophets, so you 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!'

²¹When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who should sing to Yahweh, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks to Yahweh; for his loving kindness endures forever.

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.

²²When they began to sing and to praise, Yahweh set ambushers against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.

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.

²³For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to kill and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy another.

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

²⁴When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who 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.

²⁵When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their spoil, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.

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

²⁶On the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed Yahweh: therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah 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.

²⁷Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in their forefront, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for Yahweh had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

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

²⁸They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments and harps and trumpets to the house of Yahweh.

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

²⁹The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that Yahweh fought against the enemies of Israel.

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

³⁰So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest all around.

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.

³¹Jehoshaphat 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 the daughter of Shilhi.

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

³²He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn’t turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh.

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

³³However the high places were not taken away; neither as yet had the people set 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.

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

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

³⁵After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same 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.

³⁷Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, Yahweh has destroyed your works.” The ships were broken, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
