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.
Bato ya Isalaele babebisaki ekila ya Yawe. Akana, mwana mobali ya Karimi, mwana mobali ya Zabidi, mwana mobali ya Zera, moto ya libota ya Yuda, akamataki biloko oyo Yawe apekisaki. Bongo, kanda ya Yawe epelaki likolo ya bana ya Isalaele.
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,
Wuta na Jeriko, Jozue atindaki bato kokende na engumba Ayi oyo ezalaki pene ya Beti-Aveni, na ngambo ya este ya Beteli. Alobaki na bango: « Bokende kononga mokili wana. » Bato yango bakendeki mpe banongaki Ayi.
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.
Tango bazongaki epai ya Jozue, balobaki na ye: « Ezali penza na tina te ete bato nyonso bakende kobundisa Ayi. Tinda kaka bato nkoto mibale to nkoto misato mpo na kobotola yango. Komonisa bato nyonso pasi te, pamba te engumba yango ezali kaka na bato moke. »
4 So there went vp thither of the people about three thousande men, and they fledde before the men of Ai.
Boye, bato pene nkoto misato bakendeki, kasi bakimaki liboso ya bato ya Ayi.
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.
Bato ya Ayi babomaki bato pene tuku misato na motoba na molongo ya Isalaele. Balandaki bango kino koleka ekuke ya engumba Shebarimi mpe babomaki bango na kokita ya ngomba. Mpo na yango, mitema ya bana ya Isalaele elembaki mpe bakomaki lokola mayi oyo ezali kotiola.
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.
Jozue apasolaki bilamba na ye mpe amibwakaki elongi kino na mabele liboso ya Sanduku ya Yawe kino na pokwa. Bakambi ya Isalaele mpe basalaki kaka ndenge moko, bamisopelaki putulu na mito na bango.
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.
Jozue alobaki: — Ah Nkolo Yawe, mpo na nini otikaki ete bato oyo bakatisa Yordani? Boni, ezalaki mpo ete okaba biso na maboko ya bato ya Amori ete baboma biso? Elekaki malamu ete totikala na biso na ngambo mosusu ya ebale!
8 Oh Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turne their backes before their enemies?
Oh Nkolo, sik’oyo naloba nini, awa Isalaele akimi liboso ya banguna na ye?
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?
Bato ya Kanana mpe bato mosusu ya mokili bakoyoka sango yango, bakobalukela biso mpe bakolongola kombo na biso na mokili. Boye, okosala nini mpo na monene ya Kombo na Yo?
10 And the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Get thee vp: wherefore lyest thou thus vpon thy face?
Yawe alobaki na Jozue: — Telema! Mpo na nini omibwaki elongi kino na mabele?
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.
Isalaele asali lisumu. Babebisi boyokani na Ngai oyo natindaki bango ete babatela. Bakamati ndambo ya biloko oyo ekabami mpo na kobebisama, bayibi yango mpe babombi yango kati na biloko na bango.
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.
Yango wana, bana ya Isalaele bakolonga kotelema te liboso ya banguna na bango, bakozonga sima mpe bakokima liboso ya banguna na bango, pamba te babebisi ekila. Nakozala elongo na bino te soki bolongoli te mabe oyo ezali kati na bino.
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.
Telema, bulisa bato. Loba na bango: « Bomibulisa mpo na lobi, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi boye: ‹ Mabe ezali kati na yo Isalaele, okolonga kobundisa banguna na yo te kino tango okolongola yango. ›
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.
Lobi na tongo, bokopusana pene na Ngai, libota na libota. Libota oyo Yawe akopona ekopusana, etuka na etuka; etuka oyo Yawe akopona ekopusana, ndako na ndako; mpe ndako oyo Yawe akopona ekopusana, moto na moto.
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.
Moto nyonso oyo mabe ekomonana kati na ye asengeli kokufa na moto, ye elongo na nyonso ya ye, pamba te abebisi boyokani ya Yawe mpe asali likambo ya soni kati na Isalaele. »
16 So Ioshua rose vp earely in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes: and the tribe of Iudah was taken.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, Jozue alamukaki na tongo-tongo penza, mpe abengisaki Isalaele, libota na libota. Mpe ezali libota ya Yuda nde eponamaki.
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.
Tango abengisaki etuka na etuka ya libota ya Yuda, etuka ya Zera nde eponamaki. Tango abengisaki ndako na ndako kati na etuka ya Zera, ndako ya Zabidi nde eponamaki.
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.
Sima, tango abengisaki moto na moto kati na ndako ya Zabidi, Akana, mwana mobali ya Karimi, mwana mobali ya Zabidi, mwana mobali ya Zera, moto ya libota ya Yuda, nde aponamaki.
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.
Jozue alobaki na Akana: — Mwana na ngai, pesa nkembo epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, mpe pesa Ye penza lokumu. Yebisa ngai likambo oyo osalaki, kobombela ngai eloko moko te.
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.
Akana azongiselaki Jozue: — Solo, nasali lisumu liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele. Tala likambo oyo nasalaki:
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.
Namonaki, kati na bomengo ya bitumba, kazaka moko ya kitoko ya mboka Mezopotami, mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkama mibale mpe ndambo ya kilo ya wolo; nalulaki yango mpe nazwaki yango. Nakundaki yango na kati-kati ya ndako na ngai ya kapo, mpe palata ezali na se na yango.
22 Then Ioshua sent messengers, which ran vnto the tent, and beholde, it was hid in his tent, and the siluer vnder it.
Jozue atindaki bato, mpe bakendeki mbangu kati na ndako ya kapo ya Akana mpe bakutaki penza kazaka bakunda na se ya ndako ya kapo, elongo na palata, na se na yango.
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.
Babimisaki biloko yango wuta na ndako na ye ya kapo, bamemaki yango liboso ya Jozue mpe ya bana nyonso ya Isalaele; mpe sima, basopaki yango liboso ya Yawe.
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.
Jozue elongo na bana nyonso ya Isalaele bakamataki Akana, mwana mobali ya Zera, elongo na palata, kazaka, liboke ya wolo, bana na ye ya mibali mpe ya basi, bangombe na ye, ba-ane na ye, bameme mpe bantaba na ye, ndako na ye ya kapo mpe biloko na ye nyonso; bamemaki bango na Lubwaku ya Akori.
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.
Jozue alobaki: « Mpo na nini omemeli biso pasi? Tika ete Yawe amonisa yo pasi lelo! » Bongo bato nyonso ya Isalaele babambaki ye mabanga mpe akufaki; babambaki lisusu mabanga na bato oyo batikalaki mpe bato yango bakufaki; mpe batumbaki bibembe na bango na moto.
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.
Babwakaki na likolo ya Akana liboke ya mabanga ebele oyo ezali kino na mokolo ya lelo, mpe kanda ya Yawe esilaki. Yango wana, kino na mokolo ya lelo, babengaka esika yango Lubwaku ya Akori.
