< Joshua 7 >

1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. Therefore the LORD's anger burned 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 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 land." 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 They returned to Joshua, and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Do not make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them."
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 So about three thousand men of the people went up there, and they fled before the men of Ai.
Akuran tausin tolu na mwet Israel pa som mweun, tusruktu elos kuf.
5 The men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them, and they chased them from before the gate even to the Shebarim, and struck them at the descent. The hearts of the people melted, and became like 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 Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on 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 Joshua said, "Alas, Lord GOD, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived 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 Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel has 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 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your 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 The LORD said to Joshua, "Get up. Why are you fallen on your face like that?
Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Tukakek! Efu kom ku faksufi nu infohk uh ouingan?
11 Israel has sinned, and they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. And they have even taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. They have even put it among their own 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 Therefore the children of Israel can't stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.
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 Get up. Sanctify the people, and say, 'Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, "There is a devoted thing in the midst of you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted thing from among you."
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 In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which the LORD selects shall come near by families. The family which the LORD selects shall come near by households. The household which the LORD selects shall come near 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 It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he has done a disgraceful thing 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 So Joshua rose up early in the morning and brought Israel near by their tribes. The tribe of Judah was selected.
In lotu tok ah, Joshua el usani mwet Israel nukewa, ac elos mutangan sruf. Ac sruf lal Judah sulosolla.
17 He brought near the families of Judah; and he selected the family of the Zerahites. He brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was selected.
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 He brought near his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected.
Na el usak sou lal Zabdi nu meet, kais sie mukul, ac Achan wen natul Carmi, su ma natul Zabdi sulosolla.
19 Joshua said to Achan, "My son, please give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it 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 Achan answered Joshua, and said, "I have truly sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and this is what I have 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 When I saw among the spoil a beautiful garment from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Look, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with 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 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. Look, it was hidden in his tent, with 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 They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. They laid them down before the LORD.
Elos use ma inge nu yorol Joshua ac mwet Israel nukewa, ac filiya ma inge ye mutun LEUM GOD.
24 Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to 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 Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you this day." 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 They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. The LORD 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.
