< Joshua 7 >

1 But the children of Israel committed unfaithfulness in that which had been brought under the curse: Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the children of Israel.
LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sin mwet Israel tuh elos in tia eis kutena ma liki acn Jericho, a elos in kunausla ma nukewa we. Tusruktu Achan, wen natul Carmi, su ma natul Zabdi in sou lal Zerah ke sruf lal Judah, el tia akos. Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel ke sripen seakos lal Achan.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
Joshua el supwala mwet ekasr Jericho lac nu Ai, su oan kutulap in acn Bethel sisken Bethaven, ac sapkin tuh elos in utyak ac kalngei in siti sac.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; make not all the people to toil thither, for they are few.
Ke elos foloko elos fahk nu sel Joshua, “Tia enenu mwet pus in som mweuni acn sac. Lela tausin luo ku tolu na in som mweun, mweyen siti na srisrik se.”
4 And there went up thither of the people about three thousand men, but they fled before the men of Ai.
Akuran tausin tolu na mwet Israel pa som mweun, tusruktu elos kuf.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men; and they pursued them from before the gate to Shebarim, and smote them on the descent. Then the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
Mwet Ai inge elos ukwe mwet Israel, mutawauk na e mutunpot lalos ah me nu nien fokfok eot. Elos uniya mwet tolngoul onkosr ke elos oatui fineol uh. Ke sripa se inge mwet Israel elos arulana sangeng ac munasla nunkalos.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and threw dust upon their heads.
Joshua ac mwet kol lun Israel elos salik nuknuk lalos ac filiya kutkut nu fin sifalos in akkalemye asor ac lalo lalos. Elos faksufi nu infohk uh sisken Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD nwe ke ekela.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh that we had been content and had remained beyond the Jordan!
Ac Joshua el fahk, “O LEUM GOD Fulat, efu ku kom uskutme liki lefahlyat Jordan ac eiskutyang nu inpoun mwet Amor tuh elos in kunauskutla? Efu kut ku tia mutana lefahlyat Jordan?
8 Ah Lord! what shall I say after Israel have turned their backs before their enemies?
O Leum, mea nga ac fahk, ke mwet Israel elos forla inge ac kaing liki mwet lokoalok lalos?
9 When the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], they will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. And what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
Mwet Canaan ac mwet nukewa in facl se inge elos fin lohng ke ma inge, na elos ac fah raunikutla ac unikutla nukewa! Mea kom fah oru tuh Ine pwengpeng lom in tia pilesreyuk?”
10 And Jehovah said to Joshua, Rise up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Tukakek! Efu kom ku faksufi nu infohk uh ouingan?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them, and they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it among their stuff.
Mwet Israel elos orekma koluk. Elos kunausla wulela luk su nga sapkin nu selos. Elos kikiap, ac pisrapasr, ac eis kutu ma tia lela in ituk, ac elos filiya ma inge inmasrlon ma lalos.
12 And the children of Israel shall not be able to stand before their enemies: they shall turn their backs before their enemies, for they have made themselves accursed. I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the accursed thing from your midst.
Pa inge sripa se ma oru mwet Israel ingan kuf ac kofla lain mwet lokoalok lalos an. Elos kaing lukelos mweyen elos sifacna oru tuh elos in kunausyukla. Nga ac fah tia sifil muta yuruwos kowos fin tia kunausla ma nga tia lela in oan yuruwos ingan.
13 Rise up, hallow the people, and say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from your midst.
Tukakek! Akmutalye mwet uh ac sap elos in akola ac tuku nu ye mutuk lutu, tuh nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel fahk mu: ‘Israel, oasr ma inmasrlon ma lowos an su nga tuh fahk mu in kunausyukla! Kowos koflana lain mwet lokoalok lowos nwe ke na kowos sisla ma kowos pisrala ingan liki kowos!’
14 And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes; and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by families, and the family which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by households; and the household which Jehovah taketh shall come forward man by man.
Ke ma inge fahkang nu selos tuh ke lututang mwet nukewa in toeni ac muta in sruf. Ac sruf se su nga fah srisrngiya ac fah kalukyak nu meet, na muta in sou lulap. Ac sou lulap se su nga fah srisrngiya ac fah kalukyak nu meet, na muta in sou srisrik. Ac sou srisrik se su nga fah srisrngiya ac fah kalukyak nu meet, na kais sie mukul in sou sac fah kalukyak nu meet.
15 And it shall be, that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath wrought wickedness in Israel.
Ac el su nga srisrngiya, ac koneyukyak ma inge yorol, el ac fah isisyak ke e wi sou lal ac ma lal nukewa, mweyen el oru mwe mwekin lulap nu sin mwet Israel ac kunausla wulela luk.”
16 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and caused Israel to come forward by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
In lotu tok ah, Joshua el usani mwet Israel nukewa, ac elos mutangan sruf. Ac sruf lal Judah sulosolla.
17 And he caused the families of Judah to come forward, and he took the family of the Zarhites. And he caused the family of the Zarhites to come forward man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
El usak sruf lal Judah nu meet. Na sou lulap lal Zerah in sruf lal Judah sulosolla. Na elos usak sou lulap lal Zerah nu meet. Na sou lal Zabdi liki sou lulap lal Zerah sulosolla.
18 And he caused his household to come forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Na el usak sou lal Zabdi nu meet, kais sie mukul, ac Achan wen natul Carmi, su ma natul Zabdi sulosolla.
19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah the God of Israel, and make confession to him: tell me now what thou hast done, keep it not back from me.
Na Joshua el fahk nu sel, “Wen nutik, fahkkomyak nu sik ke kas pwaye ye mutun LEUM GOD lun Israel, ac fahkak ma kom oru inge. Nikmet okanla likiyu.”
20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.
Achan el topuk nu sel Joshua ac fahk, “Pwaye nga oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lun Israel, ac pa inge ma nga oru.
21 I saw among the spoils a beautiful mantle of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a golden bar of fifty shekels weight, and I coveted them and took them; and behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
Inmasrlon ma kut sruokya, nga liye nuknuk Babylonia na kato se, ac sunun paun limekosr ke silver, ac ipin gold se su toasr liki paun se. Nga lungse yohk ma inge, oru nga srukak. Nga pikinya ma inge oasr infulwen lohm nuknuk sik, ac silver kac ah pa oan e ten.”
22 And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
Na Joshua el supwala kutu mwet in kasrusr nu ke lohm nuknuk sel Achan, ac elos konauk lah ma inge pukpuki oan we, ac silver kac ah oan e ten.
23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah.
Elos use ma inge nu yorol Joshua ac mwet Israel nukewa, ac filiya ma inge ye mutun LEUM GOD.
24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the bar of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up into the valley of Achor.
Joshua ac mwet Israel nukewa elos sruokilya Achan, ac elos us silver, ac nuknuk sac, ipin gold se, ac tulik natul mukul ac mutan, cow, donkey, sheep, lohm nuknuk sel, ac ma lal nukewa, ac elos usla nu infahlfal se pangpang Infahlfal in Ongoiya.
25 And Joshua said, How hast thou troubled us! Jehovah will trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
Ac Joshua el fahk, “Efu kom ku ase mwe ongoiya inge nu facsr? LEUM GOD El ac fah asot mwe ongoiya nu fom!” Na mwet nukewa tanglal Achan nwe ke el misa. Elos oayapa tungal ac esukak sou lal ac ma lal nukewa.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones, [which is there] to this day. And Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Valley of Achor, to this day.
Elos etoak yol in eot se facl Achan, ac yol in eot se inge oan we nwe misenge. Pa inge sripa se sis pangpang acn se inge nwe misenge “Infahlfal in Ongoiya.” Na LEUM GOD El ohula liki kasrkusrak lal.
