1Ja Jooram, Ahabi poeg, sai Samaarias Iisraeli kuningaks Juuda kuninga Joosafati kaheksateistkümnendal aastal ja ta valitses kaksteist aastat.
1Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and 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.
2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar 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.
3Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he didn’t depart from it.
4Moabi kuningas Meesa oli lambakasvataja ja tema andis maksuna Iisraeli kuningale sada tuhat lambatalle ja saja tuhande jäära villad.
4Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of one hundred thousand lambs, and of one hundred thousand rams.
5Aga kui Ahab suri, siis Moabi kuningas taganes Iisraeli kuningast.
5But it happened, 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.
6King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered 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.'
7He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” He said, “I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
8Ja ta küsis: 'Missugust teed me läheme?' Ja Jooram vastas: 'Edomi kõrbe teed.'
8He said, “Which way shall we go up?” He answered, “The 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.
9So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey. There was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed them.
10Ja Iisraeli kuningas ütles: 'Oh häda! Küllap on Issand kutsunud need kolm kuningat, et neid Moabi kätte anda.'
10The king of Israel said, “Alas! For Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver 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.'
11But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh, that we may inquire of Yahweh by him?” One of the king of Israel’s servants answered, “Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, 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.
12Jehoshaphat said, “The word of Yahweh is with him.” So 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.'
13Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him, “No; for Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver 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.
14Elisha said, “As Yahweh of Armies lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.
15Nüüd aga tooge mulle üks mängumees!' Ja kui mängumees kannelt lõi, siis sündis, et Issanda käsi tuli tema peale
15But now bring me a minstrel.” It happened, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Yahweh came on him.
16ja ta ütles: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand: Tehke siia orgu auk augu kõrvale!
16He said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’
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 says Yahweh, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your animals.
18Aga see on Issanda silmis tühine asi - ta annab ka Moabi teie kätte
18This is but a light thing in the sight of Yahweh. He will also deliver the Moabites 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.'
19You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs 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.
20It happened in the morning, about the time of offering the offering, that behold, water came 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.
21Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on 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.
22They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood.
23Ja nad ütlesid: 'See on veri! Kuningad on isekeskis mõõkadega raiunud ja üksteist maha löönud. Ja nüüd, Moab, saagile!'
23They said, “This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, 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.
24When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
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.
25They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the springs of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth only they left its stones; however the men armed with slings went about it, and struck 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.
26When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword, 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.
27Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
