< Joshua 7 >

1 But the children of Israel transgressed the commandment, and took to their own use of the anathema. For Achan the son of Charmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zare of the tribe of Juda, took something of the anathema: and the Lord was angry against the children of Israel.
Toda Izraelovi otroci so zagrešili prekršek v prekleti stvari, kajti Ahán, sin Karmíja, sin Zabdíja, sin Zeraha, iz Judovega rodu, je vzel od preklete stvari in Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Izraelove otroke.
2 And when Josue sent men from Jericho against Hai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of the town of Bethel, he said to them: Go up, and view the country: and they fulfilled his command, and viewed Hai.
Józue je poslal može iz Jerihe v Aj, ki je poleg Bet Avena, na vzhodni strani Betela in jim spregovoril, rekoč: »Pojdite gor in poglejte deželo.« Možje so odšli gor in pogledali Aj.
3 And returning they said to him: Let not all the people go up, but let two or three thousand men go and destroy the city: why should all the people be troubled in vain against enemies that are very few?
Vrnili so se k Józuetu in mu rekli: »Naj ne gre gor vse ljudstvo; temveč naj gre gor okoli dva ali tri tisoč mož in naj udarijo Aj; in ne primoraj vsega ljudstva, da se trudi tja, kajti le malo jih je.«
4 There went up therefore three thousand fighting men: who immediately turned their backs,
Tako jih je odšlo tja gor izmed ljudstva okoli tri tisoč mož, in ti so pobegnili pred možmi iz Aja.
5 And were defeated by the men of the city of Hai, and there fell of them six and thirty men: and the enemies pursued them from the gate as far as Sabarim, and they slew them as they fled by the descent: and the heart of the people was struck with fear, and melted like water.
Možje iz Aja so jih izmed njih udarili šestintrideset mož, kajti pregnali so jih izpred velikih vrat, celó do Šebaríma in jih udarili pri hitenju dol, zato so se srca ljudstva stopila in postala kakor voda.
6 But Josue rent his garments, and fell flat on the ground before the ark of the Lord until the evening, both he and all the ancients of Israel: and they put dust upon their heads.
Józue je pred Gospodovo skrinjo raztrgal svoja oblačila in padel na svoj obraz k zemlji do večera, on in Izraelove starešine in na svoje glave so si posuli prah.
7 And Josue said: Alas, O Lord God, why wouldst thou bring this people over the river Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and to destroy us? would God, we had stayed beyond the Jordan as we began.
Józue je rekel: »Ojoj, oh Gospod Bog, čemu si to ljudstvo sploh privedel čez Jordan, da nas izročiš v roko Amoréjcev, da nas uničijo? Bog daj, da bi bili zadovoljni in prebivali na drugi strani Jordana!
8 My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies?
Oh Gospod, kaj naj rečem, ko Izrael obrača svoje hrbte pred svojimi sovražniki!
9 The Chanaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and being gathered together will surround us and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do to thy great name?
Kajti Kánaanci in vsi prebivalci dežele bodo slišali o tem in nas bodo obkrožili naokoli in naše ime iztrebili z zemlje in kaj boš storil svojemu velikemu imenu?«
10 And the Lord said to Josue: Arise, why liest thou flat on the ground?
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Dvigni se, zakaj tako ležiš na svojem obrazu?
11 Israel hath sinned, and transgressed my covenant: and they have taken of the anathema, and have stolen and lied, and have hidden it among their goods.
Izrael je grešil in prav tako so prekršili mojo zavezo, ki sem jim jo zapovedal, kajti vzeli so si celó od preklete stvari in tudi kradli in tudi prikrivali so in to so si postavili celó med svoje stvari.
12 Neither can Israel stand before his enemies, but he shall flee from them: because he is defiled with the anathema. I will be no more with you, till you destroy him that is guilty of this wickedness.
Zato Izraelovi otroci niso mogli obstati pred svojimi sovražniki, temveč so obrnili svoje hrbte pred svojimi sovražniki, ker so bili prekleti. Niti jaz ne bom več z vami, razen če ne uničite prekletega izmed vas.
13 Arise, sanctify the people, and say to them: Be ye sanctified against tomorrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel: The anathema is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, till he be destroyed out of thee that is defiled with this wickedness.
Vstani, posvéti ljudstvo in reci: ›Posvetite se za jutrišnji dan, ‹ kajti tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›V vaši sredi je prekleta stvar, oh Izrael. Ne moreš stati pred svojimi sovražniki, dokler izmed sebe ne odstranite preklete stvari.
14 And you shall come in the morning every one by your tribes: and what tribe soever the lot shall find, it shall come by its kindreds and the kindred by its houses, and the house by the men.
Zato boste zjutraj privedeni glede na svoje rodove. In zgodilo se bo, da bo rod, ki ga Gospod vzame, prišel glede na njegove družine, in družina, ki jo bo Gospod vzel, bo prišla po svojih gospodinjstvih, in gospodinjstvo, ki ga bo Gospod vzel, bo prišlo mož za možem.
15 And whosoever he be that shall be found guilty of this fact, he shall be burnt with fire with all his substance, because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and hath done wickedness in Israel.
Zgodilo se bo, da kdor je vzet s prekleto stvarjo, bo sežgan z ognjem, on in vse, kar ima, ker je prekršil Gospodovo zavezo in ker je izvršil neumnost v Izraelu.‹«
16 Josue, therefore, when he rose in the morning, made Israel to come by their tribes, and the tribe of Juda was found,
Tako je Józue zgodaj zjutraj vstal in Izraela privedel po njihovih rodovih in izbran je bil Judov rod.
17 Which being brought by its families, it was found to be the family of Zare. Bringing that also by the houses, he found it to be Zabdi.
Privedel je Judovo družino in izbrana je bila Zerahova družina. Privedel je družino Zerahovcev, moškega za moškim in izbran je bil Zabdí.
18 And bringing his house man by man, he found Achan the son of Charmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zare of the tribe of Juda.
Privedel je njegovo gospodinjstvo, moškega za moškim in izbran je bil Ahán, sin Karmíja, sin Zabdíja, sin Zeraha, iz Judovega rodu.
19 And Josue said to Achan: My son, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and confess, and tell me what thou hast done, hide it not.
Józue je rekel Ahánu: »Moj sin, izkaži, prosim te, slavo Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu in mu naredi priznanje in povej mi torej, kaj si storil. Tega ne skrivaj pred menoj.«
20 And Achan answered Josue, and said to him: Indeed I have sinned against the Lord the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.
Ahán je odgovoril Józuetu in rekel: »Zares, grešil sem zoper Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga in tako in tako sem storil.
21 For I saw among the spoils a scarlet garment exceeding good, and two hundred sides of silver, and a golden rule of fifty sides: and I coveted them, and I took them away, and hid them in the ground is the midst of my tent, and the silver I covered with the earth that I dug up.
Ko sem med pleni zagledal lepo babilonsko obleko in dvesto šeklov srebra in klin iz zlata, težak petdeset šeklov, potem sem zahlepel [po] njih in jih vzel. Glej, skriti so v zemlji, v sredi mojega šotora in srebro pod tem.«
22 Josue therefore sent ministers: who running to his tent, found all hidden in the same place, together with the silver.
Tako je Józue poslal poslanca in stekla sta v šotor in glej, to je bilo skrito v njegovem šotoru in srebro pod tem.
23 And taking them away out of the tent, they brought them to Josue, and to all the children of Israel, and threw them down before the Lord.
Vzeli so jih iz srede šotora in jih prinesli k Józuetu in k vsem Izraelovim otrokom in jih položili pred Gospoda.
24 Then Josue and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zare, and the silver and the garments, and the golden rule, his sons also and his daughters, his oxen and asses and sheep, the tent also, and all the goods: and brought them to the valley of Achor:
Józue in ves Izrael z njim, je vzel Zerahovega sina Ahána, srebro, obleko, klin iz zlata, njegove sinove, njegove hčere, njegove vole, njegove osle, njegove ovce, njegov šotor in vse, kar je imel in odvedli so jih v dolino Ahór.
25 Where Josue said: Because thou hast troubled us, the Lord trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him: and all things that were his, were consumed with fire.
Józue je rekel: »Zakaj si nas spravil v težave? Gospod te bo ta dan spravil v težave.« In ves Izrael ga je kamnal s kamni in jih sežgal z ognjem, potem ko so jih kamnali s kamni.
26 And they gathered together upon him a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day. And the wrath of the Lord was turned away from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, until this day.
Nad njim so dvignili velik kup kamenja do tega dne. Tako se je Gospod obrnil od okrutnosti svoje jeze. Zato je bilo ime tega kraja imenovano Dolina Ahór do tega dne.
