< Józua 7 >

1 Zhřešili pak synové Izraelští přestoupením při věcech proklatých; nebo Achan, syn Charmi, syna Zabdi, syna Záre, z pokolení Juda, vzal něco z věcí proklatých. Pročež rozpálila se prchlivost Hospodinova na syny Izraelské.
Yahweh had commanded that all the things [that they had captured in Jericho] should be [destroyed to show that they belong] to him. But there was a man from the tribe of Judah named Achan. He was the son of Carmi and grandson of Zabdi and great-grandson of Zerah. He disobeyed [what] Yahweh [had commanded] and took for himself some of those things. So Yahweh was very angry with the Israelis.
2 Nebo když poslal Jozue muže některé od Jericha do Hai, kteréž bylo blízko Betaven, k východní straně Bethel, a mluvil k nim, řka: Vstupte a shlédněte zemi, vstoupili tedy muži ti, a shlédli Hai.
Joshua told some of his men to go from Jericho to Ai [town], which was east of Bethel [city] and near Beth-Aven [town]. He said to them, “Go to Ai and (spy out the area/see what the area is like).” So the men went.
3 Kteřížto navrátivše se k Jozue, řekli jemu: Nechť nevstupuje všecken lid tento, okolo dvou tisíc mužů neb okolo tří tisíců mužů nechť vstoupí, a dobudouť Hai; neobtěžuj všeho lidu, vysílaje jej tam, nebo málo jest oněchno.
When they returned to Joshua they said, “There are only a few people in Ai. So we do not need to send all of our soldiers to defeat them. Send 2.000 or 3,000 men to attack them. That will be enough.”
4 Tedy vytáhlo jich z lidu tam okolo tří tisíc mužů, a utekli před muži města Hai.
So about 3,000 Israeli men went [to attack Ai]. But the men of Ai defeated them badly.
5 I zabili z nich obyvatelé Hai okolo třidcíti a šesti mužů, a honili je od brány až k Sabarim, a porazili je, když s vrchu utíkali. I rozpustilo se srdce lidu, a bylo jako voda.
They killed about 36 Israelis and chased the rest of Israeli men from the city gate to the bottom of the hill. When the other Israelis saw that this had happened, they became very discouraged.
6 Tedy Jozue roztrhl roucho své, a padl tváří svou na zem před truhlou Hospodinovou, a ležel až do večera, ano i starší Izraelští, a sypali prach na hlavy své.
Joshua and the other Israeli leaders tore their clothes [because they were very sad about being defeated]. They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the sacred chest. They stayed there until that evening. They also threw dirt on their heads [to show that they were very sad about what had happened].
7 I řekl Jozue: Ach, Panovníče Hospodine, proč jsi kdy převedl lid tento přes Jordán, abys nás vydal v ruku Amorejského, tak aby nás zahubil? Ó kdybychom byli raději zůstali za Jordánem.
Then Joshua prayed and said, “Lord God, you brought us Israelis [safely] across the Jordan River. So why are you now allowing the Amor people-group to defeat us [RHQ]? [This would not have happened] if we had stayed on the other side of the Jordan River!
8 Ó Pane, což mám říci, když již lid Izraelský utíká před nepřátely svými?
Lord, we Israelis have been defeated by our enemies, so I do not know what to say now [RHQ].
9 Nebo uslyšíce Kananejští a všickni obyvatelé země, obklíčí nás vůkol, a vyhladí jméno naše z země. I což to učiníš jménu svému velikému?
The Canaan people-group and all the other people who are living in this land will hear about this. Then they will surround us and kill all of us! Then what will you do (to defend your reputation [MTY]/to show that you are a powerful God)?”
10 I řekl Hospodin k Jozue: Vstaň. Proč jsi padl na tvář svou?
But Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Stop lying there with your face on the ground [RHQ]!
11 Zhřešil Izrael, tak že smlouvu mou přestoupili, kterouž jsem jim přikázal; nebo jsou i vzali z věcí proklatých, k tomu i ukradli, také i sklamali, nad to i odložili mezi nádobí svá.
You Israelis have sinned! You have disobeyed the commands that I told you to obey. [One of] your men has taken some of the things that I told you to destroy. He has stolen them and taken them for himself and lied [about it].
12 Protož nebudou moci synové Izraelští ostáti před nepřátely svými, utíkati budou před nepřátely svými, nebo poškvrnili se věcí proklatou. Nebuduť více s vámi, leč vyhladíte prokletí to z prostředku svého.
That is why you Israelis have been unable to be strong when you went to attack your enemies. That is why you have run away from them. And now you yourselves may be destroyed. If you do not do as I commanded you and destroy everything [that you captured in Jericho] I will not help you any more!”
13 Vstaň, posvěť lidu a rci: Posvěťte se k zítřku; nebo takto praví Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Věc proklatá jest u prostřed tebe, Izraeli, nebudeš moci ostáti před nepřátely svými, dokudž neodejmeš prokletí toho z prostředku svého.
“Now go and tell this to the people: ‘Tomorrow you must [perform the rituals that will] cause yourselves to become acceptable to Yahweh again. Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says that one of you has kept things that he told you to destroy. You will never defeat your enemies until you get rid of those things.
14 Protož přistupovati budete ráno po pokoleních svých, a pokolení, kteréž ukáže Hospodin, přistupovati bude po rodech, takž rod, kterýž ukáže Hospodin, přistupovati bude po domích, a dům, kterýž ukáže Hospodin, přistupovati bude po osobách.
‘Tomorrow morning you must present yourselves before Yahweh, tribe by tribe. Then Yahweh will indicate to which tribe [the man who took those things belongs]. Then Yahweh will indicate to which clan from that tribe [the guilty man belongs]. Then Yahweh will indicate to which family he belongs. And then he will indicate which person [in that family took those things].
15 Kdož pak postižen bude vinný věcí proklatou, ohněm spálen bude, on i všecko, což jeho jest, proto že přestoupil smlouvu Hospodinovu, a že učinil nešlechetnost v Izraeli.
Then the one who has taken some of the things that should have been destroyed will be destroyed in a fire. And everything he owns will be destroyed with him, because he has disobeyed the command that Yahweh gave us and has done something that is disgraceful to us Israeli people.’”
16 Vstav tedy Jozue ráno, kázal přistupovati Izraelovi po pokoleních jejich. I postiženo jest pokolení Judovo.
Early the next morning, Joshua told all the Israeli people to stand before the Sacred Tent, tribe by tribe. [When they did that], Yahweh indicated that a man from the tribe of Judah [was the one who had taken the things].
17 Tedy když kázal přistupovati čeledem Juda, postižena jest čeled Záre. Potom kázal přistupovati čeledi Záre po osobách, a postižen jest Zabdi.
Then the clans of Judah presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the clan of Zerah was the guilty one. Then the families of Zerah’s clan presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the family of Zabdi [was the guilty one].
18 I kázal přistupovati domu jeho po osobách, i postižen jest Achan, syn Charmi, syna Zabdi, syna Záre z pokolení Judova.
Then Joshua told the men from that family to present themselves. And Yahweh indicated that Achan was guilty.
19 I řekl Jozue Achanovi: Synu můj, dej, prosím, chválu Hospodinu Bohu Izraelskému, a vyznej se jemu, a oznam mi aspoň již, co jsi učinil, netaj již toho přede mnou.
Then Joshua said to Achan, “Son, tell the truth [IDM]. Confess to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship, what you have done]. And tell me what you did, and do not try to (conceal anything/prevent me from knowing what you did).”
20 Tedy odpovídaje Achan k Jozue, řekl: Pravdať jest, já jsem zhřešil proti Hospodinu Bohu Izraelskému, tak že to a toto jsem učinil.
Achan replied, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
21 Viděl jsem mezi loupeží plášť jeden Babylonský pěkný, a dvě stě lotů stříbra, a prut zlatý jeden, padesáte lotů ztíží, čehož požádav, vzal jsem to, a aj, jsou ty věci skryté v zemi prostřed stanu mého, a stříbro pod tím.
Among the things [in Jericho] that I saw was a beautiful coat from Babylonia. I also saw 200 pieces of silver and some gold that weighed as much as 50 pieces of silver. I wanted those things very much for myself, so I took them. I buried them all in the ground under my tent. You will find them there. The silver is buried under the other things.”
22 Tedy poslal Jozue posly, kteříž běželi do stanu, a aj, bylo to skryto v stanu jeho, a stříbro pod tím.
So Joshua sent some men [to find those things]. They ran to Achan’s tent and found all the things hidden there.
23 A vzavše to z stanu, přinesli k Jozue a ke všechněm synům Izraelským, a položili ty věci před Hospodinem.
The men brought them all out of the tent and took them to Joshua and the rest of the Israeli people. Then they spread/laid them out on the ground, where Yahweh could see them.
24 Vzav tedy Jozue a všecken Izrael s ním Achana, syna Záre, a stříbro i plášť, i prut zlatý, i syny jeho, i dcery jeho, voly a osly, dobytek i stan jeho i všecko, což měl, vyvedli je do údolí Achor.
Then Joshua and the rest of the people led Achan down to the valley. They also took down there the silver, the coat, the gold, Achan’s [wife and] sons and daughters, and his cattle and donkeys and sheep, and his tent, and everything else that he owned.
25 Kdež řekl Jozue: Proč jsi zkormoutil nás? Zkormutiž tebe Hospodin v tento den. I uházel jej všecken lid kamením, a spálili je ohněm, ukamenovavše je kamením.
Joshua said, “(I do not know why you caused so much trouble for us/You have caused a lot of trouble for us) [RHQ], but now Yahweh will cause trouble for you.” Then all the people threw stones at Achan and his family until they all died. Then the people burned their corpses.
26 Potom nametali naň hromadu kamení velikou, kteráž trvá až do tohoto dne; a tak odvrácen jest Hospodin od hněvu prchlivosti své. Protož nazváno jest jméno místa toho údolí Achor, až do dnešního dne.
They piled rocks over [the ashes of] their [corpses], and those rocks are still there. That is why that valley is called Trouble Valley. After that, Yahweh was no longer angry [with the Israeli people].
