¹Ahabi surma järel taganes Moab Iisraelist.

¹Moab 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.'

²Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.”

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?

³But the angel of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” in Israel, that you 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 says Yahweh, “You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.”’” Elijah departed.

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

⁵The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have 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!'

⁶They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’”’”

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

⁷He said to them, “What kind of man was he who 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.'

⁸They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” 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!'

⁹Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘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.

¹⁰Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” Fire came down from the sky, 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!'

¹¹Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘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.

¹²Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” The fire of God came down from the sky, 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!

¹³Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.

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

¹⁴Behold, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”

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

¹⁵The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” 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!'

¹⁶He said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you have 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 you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely 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.

¹⁷So he died according to the word of Yahweh which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.

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

¹⁸Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
