Joshua 7
1 But the children of Israel committed a trespasse in the excommunicate thing: for Achan the sonne of Carmi, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zerah of the tribe of Iuda tooke of the excommunicate thing: wherfore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
Ali se sinovi Izraelovi teško ogriješiše o “herem”, jer je Akan, sin Karmija, sina Zabdijeva, sina Zerahova, od plemena Judina, uzeo od ukletih stvari, i Jahve se razgnjevi na sinove Izraelove.
2 And Ioshua sent men from Iericho to Ai, which is beside Bethauen, on ye East side of Bethel, and spake vnto them, saying, Goe vp, and view the countrey. And ye men went vp, and viewed Ai,
Jošua pak posla ljude iz Jerihona u Aj, koji leži istočno od Betela, i reče im: “Uziđite onamo, izvidite kraj!” Ljudi odoše te izvidješe Aj.
3 And returned to Ioshua, and saide vnto him, Let not al the people go vp, but let as it were two or three thousand men go vp, and smite Ai, and make not al the people to labour thither, for they are fewe.
Vrativši se k Jošui, rekoše mu: “Ne treba da onamo uzlazi sav narod; dvije do tri tisuće ljudi neka idu da osvoje Aj. Ne muči onamo sav narod, jer je ondje malo svijeta.”
4 So there went vp thither of the people about three thousande men, and they fledde before the men of Ai.
Pođe onamo oko tri tisuće ljudi od svega naroda, ali su morali pobjeći pred onima iz Aja.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them vpon a thirtie and sixe men: for they chased them from before the gate vnto Shebarim, and smote them in the going downe: wherfore the heartes of the people melted away like water.
Ajani pobiše oko trideset i šest ljudi i tjerali su ih ispred svojih vrata do Šebarima: pobili su ih na strmini. Klonu tada srce narodu kao da mu je voda u žilama.
6 Then Ioshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth vpon his face before the Arke of the Lord, vntill the euentide, he, and the Elders of Israel, and put dust vpon their heads.
Razdrije Jošua haljine svoje i baci se ničice pred Kovčegom Jahvinim, i ostade tako do večeri, on i starješine u Izraelu, posuvši glave pepelom.
7 And Ioshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou brought this people ouer Iorden, to deliuer vs into the hande of the Amorites, and to destroye vs? would God we had bene content to dwell on the other side Iorden.
Tada reče Jošua: “Jao, Gospode Jahve, zašto si preveo ovaj narod preko Jordana? Da nas predaš u ruke Amorejaca da nas pobiju? Kamo sreće da smo stali s onu stranu Jordana!
8 Oh Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turne their backes before their enemies?
Oprosti, Gospode! Što drugo da rečem kad je Izrael okrenuo leđa pred svojim neprijateljima?
9 For the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land shall heare of it, and shall compasse vs, and destroy our name out of the earth: and what wilt thou doe vnto thy mightie Name?
Ako to čuju Kanaanci i ostali žitelji zemlje, udružit će se protiv nas da zbrišu ime naše sa zemlje. Što ćeš, dakle, učiniti za veliko ime svoje?”
10 And the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Get thee vp: wherefore lyest thou thus vpon thy face?
A Jahve odgovori Jošui: “Ustani! Zašto si pao ničice?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they haue transgressed my couenant, which I commanded them: for they haue euen taken of the excommunicate thing, and haue also stollen, and dissembled also, and haue put it euen with their owne stuffe.
Izrael je sagriješio: prekršili su Savez kojim sam ih vezao. Zaista, uzeše ukleto, porobiše, posakrivaše i prisvojiše.
12 Therefore ye children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies, but haue turned their backes before their enemies, because they be execrable: neither will I bee with you any more, except ye destroy the excommunicate from among you.
I zato Izraelci ne mogu izdržati pred svojim neprijateljima, okreću leđa pred protivnicima jer su postali ukleti. Ja ne mogu više biti s vama ako iz svoje sredine ne maknete proklete.
13 Vp therefore, sanctifie the people, and say, Sanctifie your selues against to morowe: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an execrable thing among you, O Israel, therefore ye cannot stand against your enemies, vntill ye haue put the execrable thing from among you.
Ustani! Sazovi narod na posvećenje i reci mu: Posvetite se za sutra, jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Kletva je u tebi, Izraele; i nećeš izdržati pred svojim neprijateljima sve dok ne odstranite kletvu iz svoje sredine.'
14 In the morning therefore ye shall come according to your tribes, and the tribe which the Lord taketh, shall come according to the families: and the familie which the Lord shall take, shall come by the housholds: and the houshold which the Lord shall take, shall come man by man.
Zato sutra zorom pristupite pleme za plemenom; iz plemena koje odredi Jahve prići će rod za rodom, a onda iz roda koji označi Jahve pristupit će obitelj po obitelj, a iz obitelji koju označi Jahve pristupit će čovjek za čovjekom.
15 And he that is taken with the excommunicate thing, shall be burnt with fire, hee, and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the couenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
I tko se tada nađe s ukletom stvari, neka se spali on i sve što mu pripada, jer je prekršio Savez Jahvin i osramotio Izraela.”
16 So Ioshua rose vp earely in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes: and the tribe of Iudah was taken.
Urani Jošua ujutro i pozva Izraela po plemenima; pristupiše i otkri se pleme Judino.
17 And he brought the families of Iudah, and tooke the familie of the Zarhites, and he brought the familie of the Zarhites, man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
Potom pristupi rod za rodom iz plemena Judina i pronađe se rod Zerahov. Pristupiše obitelji roda Zerahova, domaćin jedan za drugim, i pronađoše obitelj Zabdijevu.
18 And he brought his houshold, man by man, and Achan ye sonne of Carmi, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zerah of the tribe of Iudah was take.
Naposljetku naredi Jošua da pristupi obitelj Zabdijeva, muškarac jedan za drugim, i pronašao se Akan, sin Karmija, sina Zabdijeva, sina Zerahova, od plemena Judina.
19 Then Ioshua said vnto Achan, My sonne, I beseech thee, giue glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession vnto him, and shewe me now what thou hast done: hide it not from me.
Tada reče Jošua Akanu: “Sine moj, daj slavu Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu, i priznaj mu što si učinio; objasni što si učinio i nemoj mi ništa tajiti.”
20 And Achan answered Ioshua, and saide, In deede, I haue sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus, and thus haue I done.
Akan reče Jošui: “Zaista, ja sagriješih Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu, i evo što sam učinio:
21 I sawe among the spoyle a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundreth shekels of siluer, and a wedge of golde of fiftie shekels weight, and I coueted them, and tooke them: and behold, they lye hid in the earth in the mids of my tent, and the siluer vnder it.
vidjeh u plijenu lijep šinearski plašt, dvije stotine srebrnjaka i zlatnu šipku vrijednu pedeset srebrnjaka, pa se polakomih i uzeh sebi. Eno je sve zakopano usred moga šatora, a srebro je odozdo.”
22 Then Ioshua sent messengers, which ran vnto the tent, and beholde, it was hid in his tent, and the siluer vnder it.
Tada uputi Jošua poslanike, koji otrčaše u šator. I gle, sve bijaše zakopano u šatoru, a odozdo srebro.
23 Therefore they tooke them out of the tent, and brought them vnto Ioshua, and vnto all the children of Israel, and layd them before the Lord.
Uzmu sve iz šatora i donesu Jošui i starješinama Izraelovim i prostriješe sve pred Jahvu.
24 Then Ioshua tooke Achan the sonne of Zerah, and the siluer, and the garment and the wedge of golde and his sonnes, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheepe, and his tent, and all that hee had: and all Israel with him brought them vnto the valley of Achor.
Tada uze Jošua Akana, sina Zerahova, i srebro, plašt i zlatnu šipku, i sve sinove i kćeri njegove, volove njegove i magarad, i ovce, šator njegov i sve što bijaše njegovo te ga izvede u dolinu Akor. Pratio ih sav Izrael.
25 And Ioshua said, In as much as thou hast troubled vs, the Lord shall trouble thee this day: and all Israel threwe stones at him, and burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
Reče Jošua: “Kako si ti nas unesrećio, tako danas tebe unesrećio Jahve!” I kamenova ga sav Izrael.
26 And they cast vpon him a great heape of stones vnto this day: and so the Lord turned from his fierce wrath: therefore hee called the name of that place, The valley of Achor, vnto this day.
Potom navališe na njega gomilu kamenja, koje stoji do danas. Tako se Jahve ublaži od svoga žestoka gnjeva. Zbog toga se događaja prozva ono mjesto dolina Akor i tako se zove do danas.
