< 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.
Men Israels-sønerne for ikkje ærleg åt med det som var vigt til Herren. Akan, son åt Karmi, som var son åt Zabdi og soneson åt Zerah av Juda-ætti, tok noko av det vigde. Då vart Herren brennande harm på Israels-sønerne.
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.
Frå Jeriko sende Josva nokre menner til Aj, som ligg tett innmed Bet-Aven, austanfor Betel, og sagde til deim: «Far upp og njosna i landet!» So for mennerne upp og njosna i Aj.
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.
Og då dei kom attende til Josva, sagde dei med honom: «Lat ikkje alt folket fara der upp! Send tvo, tri tusund mann, so tek dei Aj! Du treng ikkje umaka heile heren dit; for dei er ikkje mange.»
4 And they went up some of the people there about three thousand man and they fled before [the] men of Ai.
So for um lag tri tusund mann av heren der upp; men dei rømde for Aj-mennerne,
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.
og Aj-mennerne slo i hel um lag seks og tretti av deim, og sette so etter deim frå porten til steinbrotet, og hogg deim ned i bakkarne. Då kolna Israels-sønerne all igjenom, og vart som dei var numne.
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.
Og Josva reiv sund klædi sine og låg på kne framfor Herrens kista alt til kvelds, både han og styresmennerne i Israel, og dei strådde mold på hovudi sine.
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.
Og Josva sagde: «Herre, min Gud, kvi førde du dette folket yver Jordan, når du vilde gjeva oss i henderne på amoritarne, so dei skulde tyna oss? Gjev me heller hadde vorte buande på hi sida Jordan!
8 Pardon me O Lord what? will I say after that it has turned Israel a neck before enemies its.
Å kjære Herre min, kva skal eg segja no, når Israel hev snutt ryggen til fienden?
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.
Når kananitarne og alle andre som bur her i landet, fær høyra dette, so kjem dei til å kringsetja oss og rydja namnet vårt ut or verdi, og kva vil du då gjera med ditt store namn?»
10 And he said Yahweh to Joshua stand up for yourself why? this [are] you falling on face your.
Då sagde Herren til Josva: «Statt upp! Kvi ligg du her på kne?
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.
Israel hev synda! Dei hev brote det bodet eg lagde på deim, og teke av det som var vigt, og stole det og dult det burt, og gøymt det millom sine eigne ting.
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.
No kann dei ikkje Israels-sønerne standa seg mot fienden, men lyt snu ryggen til deim; for dei er sjølve vigde til ulukka. Kvittar de dykk ikkje med det som er vigt, so vil eg ikkje vera med dykk lenger.
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.
Statt no upp! Lat folket helga seg, og seg til deim: «Helga dykk til morgons! For so segjer Herren, Israels Gud: Det er noko vigt hjå deg, Israel! Du kann ikkje standa deg mot fiendarne fyrr de kvittar dykk med det som er vigt.
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.
Tidleg i morgon skal de stiga fram, ætt for ætt, og den ætti som Herren tek ut, skal stiga fram grein for grein, og den ættgreini Herren tek ut, skal stiga fram, hus for hus, og den huslyden Herren tek ut, skal stiga fram mann for mann.
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.
Og den som det vigde vert funne hjå, skal brennast med alt sitt, for di han braut Herrens bod, og gjorde eit skjemdarverk i Israel.»»
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.
Morgonen etter reis Josva tidleg upp, og let Israels-folket stiga fram, ætt for ætt; og Juda-ætti vart utteki.
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.
So let han ættgreinene i Juda stiga fram, og zerahit-greini vart utteki. So let han zerahit-greini stiga fram, mann for mann, og Zabdi vart utteken.
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.
So let han huslyden hans stiga fram mann for mann, og Akan, son åt Karmi, som var son åt Zabdi og soneson åt Zerah av Juda-ætti, vart utteken.
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.
Då sagde Josva til Akan: «Min son, gjev Herren, Israels Gud, æra og pris, og seg meg kva du hev gjort! dyl ingen ting for meg!»
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.
«Å ja, ja, eg hev synda mot Herren, Israels Gud, » svara Akan; «no skal eg segja kva eg hev gjort:
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.
Eg såg millom herfanget ei ven babylonsk kåpa og tvo hundrad sekel sylv og ei gullstong på femti lodd; dette fekk eg hug på og tok det; det ligg nedgrave under tjeldbudi mi; sylvet ligg underst.»
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.
So sende Josva nokre menner av stad; dei sprang burt til tjeldbudi hans, og der fann dei det; det låg nedgrave i tjeldbudi, og sylvet låg underst.
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.
Dei tok det ut or tjeldbudi og bar det med seg til Josva og Israels-lyden og lagde det ned framfor Herrens åsyn.
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.
Og Josva og heile Israel tok Akan, zerahiten, og sylvet og kåpa og gullstongi, og sønerne og døtterne hans, og ukserne og asni og småfeet og tjeldbudi hans og alt det han åtte, og førde det upp i Akordalen.
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.
Og Josva sagde til honom: «Kvi førde du slik ulukka yver oss? I dag skal Herren føra ulukka yver deg!» So tok heile Israel og steina honom i hel og brende og steina alt som høyrde honom til.
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.
Sidan kasta dei i hop ei stor steinrøys yver honom; den hev lege der alt til denne dag. Då døyvde Herren den brennande harmen sin. Men sidan vart den staden kalla Akordalen, og det namnet hev han den dag i dag.
