¹Ja prohvet Eliisa kutsus ühe prohvetijüngri ning ütles temale: 'Pane vöö vööle, võta kätte see õlikruus ja mine Gileadi Raamotisse!

¹Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.

²Ja kui sa jõuad sinna, siis vaata, kus on Jehu, Nimsi poja Joosafati poeg; siis mine sisse, käsi teda üles tõusta oma vendade keskelt ja vii ta tagakambrisse!

²When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brothers, and carry him to an inner room.

³Võta siis õlikruus ja vala õli temale pähe ning ütle: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Mina olen võidnud sind Iisraeli kuningaks! Ava siis uks ja põgene viivitamata!'

³Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.”

⁴Ja noor mees, prohveti teener, läks Gileadi Raamotisse.

⁴So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.

⁵Ja kui ta jõudis sinna, vaata, siis istusid seal väepealikud. Ja ta ütles: 'Pealik, mul on sinule midagi rääkida!' Ja Jehu küsis: 'Kellele meie kõigi hulgast?' Ja ta vastas: 'Sinule, pealik!'

⁵When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.” Jehu said, “To which of us all?” He said, “To you, O captain.”

⁶Siis ta tõusis ja läks kotta; ja noor mees valas õli temale pähe ning ütles temale: 'Nõnda ütleb Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Mina olen võidnud sind kuningaks Issanda rahvale Iisraelile!

⁶He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, even over Israel.

⁷Sa pead maha lööma oma isanda Ahabi soo, et ma saaksin tasuda Iisebelile oma sulaste, prohvetite vere ja kõigi Issanda sulaste vere eest!

⁷You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, at the hand of Jezebel.

⁸Kogu Ahabi sugu peab hukkuma: ma hävitan Ahabil meesolendid, niihästi orjad kui vabad Iisraelis!

⁸For the whole house of Ahab shall perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, or, male both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.

⁹Ma talitan Ahabi sooga nagu Nebati poja Jerobeami sooga ja Ahija poja Baesa sooga.

⁹I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.

¹⁰Koerad söövad Iisebeli Jisreeli põllul ja teda ei maeta maha.' Siis ta avas ukse ja põgenes.

¹⁰The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.’” He opened the door, and fled.

¹¹Kui Jehu tuli välja oma isanda sulaste juurde, siis küsiti temalt: 'Kas kõik on hästi? Mispärast see hull tuli sinu juurde?' Ja ta vastas neile: 'Te ju tunnete meest ja tema kõnet!'

¹¹Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?” He said to them, “You know the man and what his talk was.”

¹²Aga nad ütlesid: 'Vale! Räägi ometi meile!' Ja ta ütles: 'Ta rääkis mulle seda ja teist ning ütles: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Mina olen võidnud sind Iisraeli kuningaks!'

¹²They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.” He said, “He said to me, ‘Thus says Yahweh, I have anointed you king over Israel.’”

¹³Siis nad kõik võtsid kähku oma kuued ja panid need temale alla, trepiastmete peale, ja nad puhusid sarve ning ütlesid: 'Jehu on saanud kuningaks!'

¹³Then they hurried, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king.”

¹⁴Ja Jehu, Nimsi poja Joosafati poeg, pidas vandenõu Joorami vastu, Jooram oli olnud kaitsmas Gileadi Raamotit, tema ja kogu Iisrael, Süüria kuninga Hasaeli vastu.

¹⁴So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria;

¹⁵Aga kuningas Jooram oli tulnud tagasi, et Jisreelis lasta ennast ravida haavadest, mis süürlased olid löönud, kui ta sõdis Süüria kuninga Hasaeli vastu. Ja Jehu ütles: 'Kui te olete nõus, siis ärge laske linnast lahkuda kedagi, kes võiks minna Jisreeli seda kuulutama!'

¹⁵but king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city, to go to tell it in Jezreel.”

¹⁶Ja Jehu astus vankrisse ning läks Jisreeli, sest Jooram lamas seal ja Juuda kuningas Ahasja oli tulnud Jooramit vaatama.

¹⁶So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.

¹⁷Aga Jisreelis seisis valvur tornis ja nägi Jehu jõuku tulevat ning ütles: 'Ma näen ühte jõuku.' Ja Jooram ütles: 'Võta üks ratsanik ja läkita neile vastu, et ta küsiks, kas on rahu!'

¹⁷Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’”

¹⁸Ja ratsanik läks temale vastu ning ütles: 'Nõnda ütleb kuningas: Kas on rahu?' Ja Jehu vastas: 'Mis on sinul rahuga tegemist? Pöördu ümber ja tule mu järel!' Ja valvur teatas ning ütles: 'Käskjalg jõudis nende juurde, aga ei tule tagasi.'

¹⁸So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”

¹⁹Siis kuningas läkitas teise ratsaniku; ja see tuli nende juurde ning ütles: 'Nõnda ütleb kuningas: Kas on rahu?' Ja Jehu vastas: 'Mis on sinul rahuga tegemist? Pöördu ümber ja tule mu järel!'

¹⁹Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”

²⁰Ja valvur teatas ning ütles: 'Ta jõudis nende juurde, aga ei tule tagasi. Ja kihutamine oleks nagu Nimsi poja Jehu kihutamise moodi, sest too kihutab nagu hull!'

²⁰The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives furiously.”

²¹Siis ütles Jooram: 'Rakendage!' Hobused rakendati vankri ette ja Jooram, Iisraeli kuningas, ja Ahasja, Juuda kuningas, läksid välja kumbki oma vankris. Nad läksid Jehule vastu ja kohtasid teda jisreellase Naaboti põllul.

²¹Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

²²Ja kui Jooram nägi Jehut, siis ta küsis: 'Kas on rahu, Jehu?' Ja too vastas: 'Mis rahu, niikaua kui su ema Iisebeli hoorusi ja nõidusi on nii palju!'

²²It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”

²³Siis Jooram pöördus ümber ja põgenes ning ütles Ahasjale: 'See on äraandmine, Ahasja!'

²³Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “There is treason, Ahaziah!”

²⁴Aga Jehu tõmbas oma käega ammu vinna ja tabas Jooramit õlgade vahele, nõnda et nool läbistas ta südame ja ta vajus vankris kokku.

²⁴Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.

²⁵Ja Jehu ütles Bidkarile, oma vankrisõdurile: 'Võta ja viska ta jisreellase Naaboti põllulapile, sest mulle meenub, et kui mina ja sina ratsutasime kõrvuti tema isa Ahabi järel, siis pani Issand tema peale selle ennustuse:

²⁵Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him:

²⁶Tõesti, ma nägin eile Naaboti ja tema poegade verd, oli Issanda ütlus, ja ma maksan sulle kätte selle põllu peal, oli samuti Issanda ütlus. Ja nüüd võta, viska ta põllule Issanda sõna kohaselt!'

²⁶‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the word of Yahweh.”

²⁷Kui Ahasja, Juuda kuningas, seda nägi, siis ta põgenes Beet-Gaani poole; aga Jehu ajas teda taga ja ütles: 'Laske ka tema vankris maha!' Ja nõnda sündiski Guuri tõusuteel, mis on Jibleami juures; ent ta põgenes Megiddosse ja suri seal.

²⁷But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.

²⁸Ja ta sulased viisid ta vankriga Jeruusalemma ja matsid ta tema oma hauda ta vanemate juurde Taaveti linna.

²⁸His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the city of David.

²⁹Ahasja oli saanud Juuda kuningaks Joorami, Ahabi poja üheteistkümnendal aastal.

²⁹In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.

³⁰Ja Jehu tuli Jisreeli. Kui Iisebel seda kuulis, siis ta jumestas oma palge ja kaunistas pea ning vaatas aknast välja.

³⁰When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.

³¹Ja kui Jehu jõudis väravasse, siis küsis Iisebel: 'Kas on rahu, Simri, oma isanda tapja?'

³¹As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?”

³²Ja Jehu tõstis oma silmad üles akna poole ja küsis: 'Kes on minu poolt? Kes?' Siis vaatas kaks-kolm hoovkondlast alla tema poole.

³²He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.

³³Ja Jehu ütles: 'Kukutage ta alla!' Siis nad kukutasid Iisebeli alla ja ta veri pritsis seina ja hobuste peale; ja ta tallati ära.

³³He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.

³⁴Siis Jehu läks sisse, sõi ja jõi ning ütles: 'Kandke nüüd hoolt selle neetu eest ja matke ta maha, sest ta on ikkagi kuninga tütar!'

³⁴When he had come in, he ate and drink; and he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.”

³⁵Nad läksid teda matma, aga ei leidnud temast muud kui pealuu, jalad ja kämblad.

³⁵They went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

³⁶Ja nad tulid tagasi ning teatasid Jehule; ja tema ütles: 'See on see Issanda sõna, mis ta rääkis oma sulase, tisbelase Eelija läbi, kui ta ütles: Jisreeli põllul söövad koerad Iisebeli liha.

³⁶Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, “This is the word of Yahweh, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,

³⁷Ja Iisebeli laip on nagu sõnnik väljal, Jisreeli põllul, nõnda et ükski ei saa öelda: See on Iisebel!'

³⁷and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
