< Joshua 7 >

1 The Israelites, however, acted unfaithfully regarding the things devoted to destruction. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart. So the anger of the LORD burned against the Israelites.
Bet Israēla bērni noziedzās pie tā izdeldējamā, jo Akans, Karmus dēls, tas bija Zabdus, tas Zerus dēls no Jūda cilts, ņēma no tā izdeldējamā. Tad Tā Kunga bardzība iedegās pret Israēla bērniem.
2 Meanwhile, Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and spy out the land.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
Kad nu Jozuas izsūtīja vīrus no Jērikus uz Aju pie Bet-Avenas, no Bēteles pret rītiem, un uz tiem runāja sacīdams: noejat un izlūkojiet to zemi,
3 On returning to Joshua, they reported, “There is no need to send all the people; two or three thousand men are enough to go up and attack Ai. Since the people of Ai are so few, you need not wear out all our people there.”
Tad tie vīri nogāja un izlūkoja Aju, un griezās atpakaļ pie Jozuas un uz to sacīja: lai visi ļaudis nenoiet, bet lai kādi divtūkstoš vai trīstūkstoš vīri noiet un Aju kauj, neapgrūtini visus ļaudis, jo viņu tur ir maz.
4 So about three thousand men went up, but they fled before the men of Ai.
Tad no tiem ļaudīm cēlās uz turieni trīstūkstoš vīri, bet tiem bija jābēg priekš Ajas vīriem.
5 And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of them, chasing them from the gate as far as the quarries and striking them down on the slopes. So the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
Un Ajas vīri apkāva no tiem trīsdesmit un sešus vīrus un dzinās tiem pakaļ no vārtiem līdz Zabarim, un tos sakāva pakalnē. Tad to ļaužu sirds izkusa un palika kā ūdens.
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown before the ark of the LORD until evening, as did the elders of Israel; and they all sprinkled dust on their heads.
Un Jozuas saplēsa savas drēbes un metās zemē uz savu vaigu priekš Tā Kunga šķirsta līdz pat vakaram, viņš un Israēla vecaji, un tie kaisīja pīšļus uz savām galvām.
7 “O, Lord GOD,” Joshua said, “why did You ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be destroyed? If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan!
Un Jozuas sacīja: ak Kungs, Dievs! Kāpēc tu šiem ļaudīm esi licis iet caur Jardāni, mūs dodams Amoriešu rokās, ka tie mūs izdeldē? Ak, kaut mēs mierā būtu palikuši viņpus Jardānes.
8 O Lord, what can I say, now that Israel has turned its back and run from its enemies?
Ak Kungs, ko lai saku, kad nu Israēls muguru griež saviem ienaidniekiem?
9 When the Canaanites and all who live in the land hear about this, they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?”
Kad Kanaānieši un visi zemes iedzīvotāji to dzirdēs, tad tie mūs apstās visapkārt un izdeldēs mūsu vārdu no zemes. Ko tad Tu darīsi Sava lielā Vārda dēļ?
10 But the LORD said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face?
Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jozua: celies, kāpēc tu tā guli uz sava vaiga?
11 Israel has sinned; they have transgressed My covenant that I commanded them, and they have taken some of what was devoted to destruction. Indeed, they have stolen and lied, and they have put these things with their own possessions.
Israēls ir apgrēkojies un arī pārkāpis Manu derību, ko Es tiem esmu pavēlējis; tie ir arī ņēmuši no tā izdeldējamā un ir zaguši un slēpuši un to ir likuši pie savas mantas.
12 This is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies. They will turn their backs and run from their enemies, because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will no longer be with you unless you remove from among you whatever is devoted to destruction.
Tāpēc Israēla bērni nevar pastāvēt priekš saviem ienaidniekiem, tiem bēdzin jābēg no saviem ienaidniekiem, jo tie ir izdeldējami. Es nebūšu vairs ar jums, ja jūs to, kas izdeldējams, no sava vidus neizdeldēsiet.
13 Get up and consecrate the people, saying, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Among you, O Israel, there are things devoted to destruction. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.
Celies, svētī tos ļaudis un saki: svētījaties uz rītdienu, jo tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: izdeldējama lieta ir tavā vidū, Israēl; tu nevari pastāvēt priekš saviem ienaidniekiem, tiekams tu nebūsi izdeldējis no sava vidus to izdeldējamo.
14 In the morning you must present yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe that the LORD selects shall come forward clan by clan, and the clan that the LORD selects shall come forward family by family, and the family that the LORD selects shall come forward man by man.
Rītā agri nākat priekšā pēc savām ciltīm, un tā cilts, ko Tas Kungs uzrādīs, lai nāk priekšā pēc saviem radiem, un tas rads, ko Tas Kungs uzrādīs, lai nāk priekšā pēc savām saimēm, un tā saime, ko Tas Kungs uzrādīs, lai nāk priekšā pēc saviem vīriem.
15 The one who is caught with the things devoted to destruction must be burned, along with all that belongs to him, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD and committed an outrage in Israel.’”
Un kas taps atrasts ar to izdeldējamo, to būs sadedzināt ar uguni, līdz ar visu, kas tam pieder, tāpēc ka viņš pārkāpis Tā Kunga derību, un tāpēc ka viņš kauna lietu darījis iekš Israēla.
16 So Joshua arose early the next morning and had Israel come forward tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected.
Tad Jozuas cēlās no rīta agri un veda priekšā Israēli pēc viņu ciltīm, - tad Jūda cilts tapa uzrādīta.
17 He had the clans of Judah come forward, and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward, and the family of Zabdi was selected.
Un kad viņš Jūda cilti veda priekšā, tad tapa uzrādīts Zeraiešu rads, un kad Zeraiešu radu veda priekšā pēc tiem saimniekiem, tad Zabdus tapa uzrādīts.
18 And he had the family of Zabdi come forward man by man, and Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected.
Kad šo saimi veda priekšā pēc tiem vīriem, tad Akans tapa uzrādīts, Karmus dēls, tas bija Zabdus, tas Zerus dēls no Jūda cilts.
19 So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make a confession to Him. I urge you to tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
Tad Jozuas sacīja uz Akanu: mans dēls, dod jel Tam Kungam, Israēla Dievam, godu un dod Viņam slavu un stāsti man jel, ko tu esi darījis, un neslēpi to man.
20 “It is true,” Achan replied, “I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I did:
Tad Akans atbildēja Jozuam un sacīja: tiešām, es esmu apgrēkojies pret To Kungu, Israēla Dievu, un esmu tā un tā darījis.
21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful cloak from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
Jo es ieraudzīju pie laupījuma vienu skaistu Babiloniešu mēteli un divsimt sudraba sēķeļus un vienu zelta sprādzi, tā svēra piecdesmit sēķeļus, un es tās lietas iekāroju un tās ņēmu, un redzi, tās manā teltī ir paslēptas zemē un tas sudrabs tur apakšā.
22 So Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and there it all was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.
Tad Jozuas sūtīja vīrus un tie skrēja uz to telti, un redzi, tas bija apslēpts viņa teltī, un tas sudrabs tur apakšā.
23 They took the things from inside the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and spread them out before the LORD.
Un tie to izņēma no tās telts un atnesa pie Jozuas un pie visiem Israēla bērniem un to izbēra Tā Kunga priekšā.
24 Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the cloak, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen and donkeys and sheep, his tent, and everything else he owned, and brought them to the Valley of Achor.
Tad Jozuas un viss Israēls līdz ar viņu ņēma Akanu, Zerus dēlu, un to sudrabu un to mēteli un to zelta sprādzi un viņa dēlus un viņa meitas un viņa vēršus un viņa ēzeļus un viņa sīkos lopus un viņa telti un visu, kas tam bija, un tos veda uz Ahora ieleju.
25 “Why have you brought this trouble upon us?” said Joshua. “Today the LORD will bring trouble upon you!” And all Israel stoned him to death. Then they stoned the others and burned their bodies.
Un Jozuas sacīja: kā tu mūs esi apbēdinājis, tā tev Tas Kungs šodien apbēdinās; un viss Israēls to akmeņiem nomētāja un tos sadedzināja ar uguni un uzkrāva pār tiem akmeņus.
26 And they heaped over Achan a large pile of rocks that remains to this day. So the LORD turned from His burning anger. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Achor to this day.
Un tie uzcēla pār tiem lielu akmeņu kopu, kas stāv līdz šai dienai. Tā Tas Kungs atgriezās no Savas bardzības karstuma; tādēļ tās vietas vārds top nosaukts Ahora ieleja līdz šai pašai dienai.
