< Joshua 7 >
1 And they acted unfaithfully [the] people of Israel unfaithfulness in the devoted thing[s] and he took Achan [the] son of Carmi [the] son of Zabdi [the] son of Zerah of [the] tribe of Judah some of the devoted thing[s] and it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on [the] people of Israel.
以色列人在当灭的物上犯了罪;因为犹大支派中,谢拉的曾孙,撒底的孙子,迦米的儿子亚干取了当灭的物;耶和华的怒气就向以色列人发作。
2 And he sent Joshua men from Jericho Ai which [is] beside Beth Aven from [the] east of Beth-el and he said to them saying go up and spy out the land and they went up the men and they spied out Ai.
当下,约书亚从耶利哥打发人往伯特利东边、靠近伯·亚文的艾城去,吩咐他们说:“你们上去窥探那地。”他们就上去窥探艾城。
3 And they returned to Joshua and they said to him may not it go up all the people about two thousand man or about three thousand man let them go up and they may attack Ai may not you make go wearily there towards all the people for [are] few they.
他们回到约书亚那里,对他说:“众民不必都上去,只要二三千人上去就能攻取艾城;不必劳累众民都去,因为那里的人少。”
4 And they went up some of the people there about three thousand man and they fled before [the] men of Ai.
于是民中约有三千人上那里去,竟在艾城人面前逃跑了。
5 And they struck down of them [the] men of Ai about thirty and six man and they pursued them before the gate to Shebarim and they struck down them at the descent and it melted [the] heart of the people and it became water.
艾城的人击杀了他们三十六人,从城门前追赶他们,直到示巴琳,在下坡杀败他们;众民的心就消化如水。
6 And he tore Joshua clothes his and he fell on face his [the] ground towards before [the] ark of Yahweh until the evening he and [the] elders of Israel and they made go up dust on head their.
约书亚便撕裂衣服;他和以色列的长老把灰撒在头上,在耶和华的约柜前俯伏在地,直到晚上。
7 And he said Joshua alas! - O Lord Yahweh why? have you brought over at all the people this the Jordan to give us in [the] hand of the Amorite[s] to destroy us and if we had been willing and we had remained on [the] other side of the Jordan.
约书亚说:“哀哉!主耶和华啊,你为什么竟领这百姓过约旦河,将我们交在亚摩利人的手中,使我们灭亡呢?我们不如住在约旦河那边倒好。
8 Pardon me O Lord what? will I say after that it has turned Israel a neck before enemies its.
主啊,以色列人既在仇敌面前转背逃跑,我还有什么可说的呢?
9 And they may hear the Canaanite[s] and all [the] inhabitants of the land and they will surround us and they will cut off name our from the earth and what? will you do for name your great.
迦南人和这地一切的居民听见了就必围困我们,将我们的名从地上除灭。那时你为你的大名要怎样行呢?”
10 And he said Yahweh to Joshua stand up for yourself why? this [are] you falling on face your.
耶和华吩咐约书亚说:“起来!你为何这样俯伏在地呢?
11 It has sinned Israel and also they have transgressed covenant my which I commanded them and also they have taken some of the devoted thing[s] and also they have stolen and also they have deceived and also they have put [them] among things their.
以色列人犯了罪,违背了我所吩咐他们的约,取了当灭的物;又偷窃,又行诡诈,又把那当灭的放在他们的家具里。
12 And not they are able [the] people of Israel to stand before enemies their a neck they turn before enemies their for they have become a devoted thing not I will repeat to be with you if not you will destroy the devoted thing[s] from midst your.
因此,以色列人在仇敌面前站立不住。他们在仇敌面前转背逃跑,是因成了被咒诅的;你们若不把当灭的物从你们中间除掉,我就不再与你们同在了。
13 Arise consecrate the people and you will say consecrate yourselves for tomorrow for thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel devoted thing[s] [are] in midst your O Israel not you will be able to stand before enemies your until remove you the devoted thing[s] from midst your.
你起来,叫百姓自洁,对他们说:‘你们要自洁,预备明天,因为耶和华—以色列的 神这样说:以色列啊,你们中间有当灭的物,你们若不除掉,在仇敌面前必站立不住!’
14 And you will bring yourselves near in the morning to tribes your and it will be the tribe which he will take it Yahweh it will draw near to the families and the family which he will take it Yahweh it will draw near to the households and the household which he will take it Yahweh it will draw near to the men.
到了早晨,你们要按着支派近前来;耶和华所取的支派,要按着宗族近前来;耶和华所取的宗族,要按着家室近前来;耶和华所取的家室,要按着人丁,一个一个地近前来。
15 And it will be the [one who] is taken by lot with the devoted thing[s] he will be burned with fire him and all that [belongs] to him for he has transgressed covenant of Yahweh and for he has done disgraceful folly in Israel.
被取的人有当灭的物在他那里,他和他所有的必被火焚烧;因他违背了耶和华的约,又因他在以色列中行了愚妄的事。”
16 And he rose early Joshua in the morning and he brought near Israel to tribes its and it was taken by lot [the] tribe of Judah.
于是,约书亚清早起来,使以色列人按着支派近前来,取出来的是犹大支派;
17 And he brought near [the] family of Judah and he took [the] family of the Zerahite[s] and he brought near [the] family of the Zerahite[s] to the men and he was taken by lot Zabdi.
使犹大支派近前来,就取了谢拉的宗族;使谢拉的宗族,按着家室人丁,一个一个地近前来,取出来的是撒底;
18 And he brought near household his to the men and he was taken by lot Achan [the] son of Carmi [the] son of Zabdi [the] son of Zerah of [the] tribe of Judah.
使撒底的家室,按着人丁,一个一个地近前来,就取出犹大支派的人谢拉的曾孙,撒底的孙子,迦米的儿子亚干。
19 And he said Joshua to Achan O son my put please glory to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and give to him confession and tell please to me what? have you done may not you hide [it] from me.
约书亚对亚干说:“我儿,我劝你将荣耀归给耶和华—以色列的 神,在他面前认罪,将你所做的事告诉我,不要向我隐瞒。”
20 And he answered Achan Joshua and he said truly I I have sinned to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and like this and like this I have done.
亚干回答约书亚说:“我实在得罪了耶和华—以色列的 神。我所做的事如此如此:
21 (And I saw *Q(k)*) among the booty cloak of Shinar one good and two hundred shekels silver and a wedge of gold one [was] fifty shekels weight its and I desired them and I took them and there they [are] hidden in the ground in [the] midst of tent my and the silver [is] under it.
我在所夺的财物中看见一件美好的示拿衣服,二百舍客勒银子,一条金子重五十舍客勒,我就贪爱这些物件,便拿去了。现今藏在我帐棚内的地里,银子在衣服底下。”
22 And he sent Joshua messengers and they ran the tent towards and there! [it was] hidden in tent his and the silver [was] under it.
约书亚就打发人跑到亚干的帐棚里。那件衣服果然藏在他帐棚内,银子在底下。
23 And they took them from [the] midst of the tent and they brought them to Joshua and to all [the] people of Israel and they poured out them before Yahweh.
他们就从帐棚里取出来,拿到约书亚和以色列众人那里,放在耶和华面前。
24 And he took Joshua Achan [the] son of Zerah and the silver and the cloak and [the] wedge of gold and sons his and daughters his and ox[en] his and donkey[s] his and sheep his and tent his and all that [belonged] to him and all Israel with him and they brought up them [the] valley of Achor.
约书亚和以色列众人把谢拉的曾孙亚干和那银子、那件衣服、那条金子,并亚干的儿女、牛、驴、羊、帐棚,以及他所有的,都带到亚割谷去。
25 And he said Joshua why? have you brought trouble to us he will bring trouble to you Yahweh on the day this and they stoned him all Israel stone[s] and they burned them with fire and they stoned them with stones.
约书亚说:“你为什么连累我们呢?今日耶和华必叫你受连累。”于是以色列众人用石头打死他,将石头扔在其上,又用火焚烧他所有的。
26 And they set up over him a heap of stones great until the day this and he turned back Yahweh from [the] burning of anger his there-fore someone called [the] name of the place that [the] valley of Achor until the day this.
众人在亚干身上堆成一大堆石头,直存到今日。于是耶和华转意,不发他的烈怒。因此那地方名叫亚割谷,直到今日。
