Joshua 7
1 Yahweh had commanded that all the things [that they had captured in Jericho] should be [destroyed to show that they belong] to him. But there was a man from the tribe of Judah named Achan. He was the son of Carmi and grandson of Zabdi and great-grandson of Zerah. He disobeyed [what] Yahweh [had commanded] and took for himself some of those things. So Yahweh was very angry with the Israelis.
Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunuma ilia da liligi huluanedafa wadela: lesima: ne amola Ema ilegei liligi mae wamolama: ne sia: i dagoi. Be ilia da Ea sia: hame nabi. Dunu ea dio amo A: iga: ne da liligi wamolai dagoi. (A: iga: ne da Gami egefe amola Sa: badai ea aowa. E da Sila sosogo fi Yuda fi amo ganodini esalu.)
2 Joshua told some of his men to go from Jericho to Ai [town], which was east of Bethel [city] and near Beth-Aven [town]. He said to them, “Go to Ai and (spy out the area/see what the area is like).” So the men went.
Yosiua da asunasiba: le, Isala: ili desega ahoasu dunu da Yeligou fisili, A:iai moilai bai bagade (Bedele moilai ea eso mabadi la: idi diala, Beda: ifene moilai gadenei) amo ea hou hogola asi. Ba: lalu,
3 When they returned to Joshua they said, “There are only a few people in Ai. So we do not need to send all of our soldiers to defeat them. Send 2.000 or 3,000 men to attack them. That will be enough.”
ilia da Yosiuama buhagili, amane sia: i, “A: iai da moilai bai fonobahadi fawane. Dadi gagui dunu huluane amoga doagala: musa: , mae asunasima. 3000 o 2000 dunu amo fawane da amo moilai wadela: lesimu da defea.”
4 So about 3,000 Israeli men went [to attack Ai]. But the men of Ai defeated them badly.
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dadi gagui dunu 3000 agoane da A: iai moilaiga doagala: musa: asi. Be ilia se nabi, amola beba: le bu hobea: i.
5 They killed about 36 Israelis and chased the rest of Israeli men from the city gate to the bottom of the hill. When the other Israelis saw that this had happened, they became very discouraged.
A: iai dunu da moilai bai bagade gagoi logo ga: su amoga ilima gegene, ili sefasili igi lamu sogebi amoga sefasi. Isala: ili dunu da agoloba: le sa: ili hobeale, A:iai dunu da Isala: ili dunu 36amo medole legei. Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da ilia gasa fisili bagadewane beda: i.
6 Joshua and the other Israeli leaders tore their clothes [because they were very sad about being defeated]. They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the sacred chest. They stayed there until that evening. They also threw dirt on their heads [to show that they were very sad about what had happened].
Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu da se nababeba: le, ilia abula gadelale, Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili midadi osoboga diasa: i. Ilia da: i dioi olelema: ne, ilia dialuma amo osobo gulu amoga dedebole amo esoga osoboga diasa: i dialu.
7 Then Joshua prayed and said, “Lord God, you brought us Israelis [safely] across the Jordan River. So why are you now allowing the Amor people-group to defeat us [RHQ]? [This would not have happened] if we had stayed on the other side of the Jordan River!
Amola Yosiua da amane sia: i, “Hinadafa Gode! Dia da abuliba: le nini Yodane Hano degema: ne oule misibala: ? Nini A: moulaide dunu amoga wadela: musa: oule misibala: ? Ninia Yodane Hano na: iyado bega: esalumu da defea galu.
8 Lord, we Israelis have been defeated by our enemies, so I do not know what to say now [RHQ].
Hina Gode! Isala: ili dunu da ilima ha lai dunu amoga hobea: iba: le, na da adi sia: ma: bela: ?
9 The Canaan people-group and all the other people who are living in this land will hear about this. Then they will surround us and kill all of us! Then what will you do (to defend your reputation [MTY]/to show that you are a powerful God)?”
Ga: ina: ne dunu amola dunu huluane amo soge ganodini esala da amo sia: nababeba: le, nini sisiga: le, nini huluane medole legemu. Amasea, ninia da Dia Dio nodone gaga: ma: ne, Dia da adi hamoma: bela: ?”
10 But Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Stop lying there with your face on the ground [RHQ]!
Be Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Wa: legadoma! Di da abuliba: le osoboga udigili diahala: ?
11 You Israelis have sinned! You have disobeyed the commands that I told you to obey. [One of] your men has taken some of the things that I told you to destroy. He has stolen them and taken them for himself and lied [about it].
Isala: ili fi da wadela: le hamoi dagoi. Ilia da Na Gousa: su amo ilia noga: le bobogema: ne Na sia: i, amo wadela: lesi dagoi. Ilia da liligi mogili Nama gobele sanasimusa: ilegei, amo lai dagoi. Ilia da wamolai amola ogogoi, amola liligi wamolai amo ilia liligi ganodini sali.
12 That is why you Israelis have been unable to be strong when you went to attack your enemies. That is why you have run away from them. And now you yourselves may be destroyed. If you do not do as I commanded you and destroy everything [that you captured in Jericho] I will not help you any more!”
Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da ilima ha lai dunuma hasalimu gogolesa. Ilia da beba: le hobeasa. Bai ilisu da wali wadela: musa: ilegei dagoi. Amo liligi wamolai dilia hame fadegale fasisia, Na da dili hame sigi masunu.
13 “Now go and tell this to the people: ‘Tomorrow you must [perform the rituals that will] cause yourselves to become acceptable to Yahweh again. Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says that one of you has kept things that he told you to destroy. You will never defeat your enemies until you get rid of those things.
Wale gadoma! Dunu huluane da Nama misa: ne, ilia dodofema: ne sia: ma. Dilia da amo liligi hame fadegale fasisia, dilia da dilima ha lai ilima gegemu da hamedei agoane ba: mu.
14 ‘Tomorrow morning you must present yourselves before Yahweh, tribe by tribe. Then Yahweh will indicate to which tribe [the man who took those things belongs]. Then Yahweh will indicate to which clan from that tribe [the guilty man belongs]. Then Yahweh will indicate to which family he belongs. And then he will indicate which person [in that family took those things].
Hahabe dilia fi afae afae Nama oule misa. Na da fi afae ilegemu. Amo fi ilegei da sosogo fi afae afae Nama oule misa: ne sia: ma. Amasea, na da dunu afae ilegemu.
15 Then the one who has taken some of the things that should have been destroyed will be destroyed in a fire. And everything he owns will be destroyed with him, because he has disobeyed the command that Yahweh gave us and has done something that is disgraceful to us Israeli people.’”
Amo dunu Na da wamolasu dunu ilegemu. Amo dunu amola ea sosogo fi amola ea liligi huluane, laluga gobesima. Bai e da Na Gousa: su wadela: lesi dagoi, amola gogosiasu bagade Isala: ili fi ilima i.”
16 Early the next morning, Joshua told all the Israeli people to stand before the Sacred Tent, tribe by tribe. [When they did that], Yahweh indicated that a man from the tribe of Judah [was the one who had taken the things].
Hahabedafa, Yosiua da Isala: ili dunu huluane fi afae afae oule misini, Yuda fi da ilegei dagoi ba: i.
17 Then the clans of Judah presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the clan of Zerah was the guilty one. Then the families of Zerah’s clan presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the family of Zabdi [was the guilty one].
E da Yuda fi amo ganodini afae afae amo oule misini, Sila ea fi ilegei dagoi ba: i. Amo da sosogo fi afae afae misini, Sa: badai ea sosogo fi ilegei dagoi ba: i.
18 Then Joshua told the men from that family to present themselves. And Yahweh indicated that Achan was guilty.
Amalalu, Yosiua da Sa: badai ea sosogo fi dunu afae afae oule misini, A:iga: ne (Gami egefe amola Sa: badai ea aowa) amo ilegei dagoi ba: i.
19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “Son, tell the truth [IDM]. Confess to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship, what you have done]. And tell me what you did, and do not try to (conceal anything/prevent me from knowing what you did).”
Yosiua da A: iga: nema amane sia: i, “Na gofe! Isala: ili Hina Gode ba: ma: ne, dafawane sia: olelema. Dia hamoi olelema. Nama amo hou mae wamolegema.”
20 Achan replied, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
A: iga: ne da bu adole i, “Dafawane! Na Isala: ili Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi. Na da agoane hamoi.
21 Among the things [in Jericho] that I saw was a beautiful coat from Babylonia. I also saw 200 pieces of silver and some gold that weighed as much as 50 pieces of silver. I wanted those things very much for myself, so I took them. I buried them all in the ground under my tent. You will find them there. The silver is buried under the other things.”
Ninia liligi lai amo ganodini, na da Ba: balounia abula, silifa2gilogala: me agoane amola gouli 1/2 gilogala: me baligi amo ba: i dagoi. Na da amo bagade hanaiba: le, lai dagoi. Dilia da na abula diasu ganodini amo liligi uli dogoi ganodini wamolegei dagoi ba: mu. Silifa da eno liligi hagudu dialebe ba: mu.”
22 So Joshua sent some men [to find those things]. They ran to Achan’s tent and found all the things hidden there.
Amaiba: le, Yosiua da dunu mogili asunasi. Ilia da hehenane, wamolai liligi amo A: iga: ne ea abula diasu ganodini wamolegei dagoi ba: i. Amola silifa da hagudu dialebe ba: i.
23 The men brought them all out of the tent and took them to Joshua and the rest of the Israeli people. Then they spread/laid them out on the ground, where Yahweh could see them.
Amo liligi huluane ilia da A: iga: ne abula diasuga gadili gaguli asili, Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu huluane da gaguli asili, Hina Gode ba: ma: ne ligisi.
24 Then Joshua and the rest of the people led Achan down to the valley. They also took down there the silver, the coat, the gold, Achan’s [wife and] sons and daughters, and his cattle and donkeys and sheep, and his tent, and everything else that he owned.
Yosiua amola Isala: ili dunu huluane da A: iga: ne, silifa, abula, gouli amola A: iga: ne ea dunu amola uda mano huluane, ea bulamagau, ea dougi, ea sibi amola ea abula diasu amo gaguli, Bidi Hamosu Fago sogebiga hiouginana asi.
25 Joshua said, “(I do not know why you caused so much trouble for us/You have caused a lot of trouble for us) [RHQ], but now Yahweh will cause trouble for you.” Then all the people threw stones at Achan and his family until they all died. Then the people burned their corpses.
Amola Yosiua da amane sia: i, “Dia da abuliba: le amo se nabasu ninima iaha. Hina Gode da wali dima se imunu.” Amalalu, dunu huluane da A: iga: ne igiga medole legei. Ilia da ea sosogo fi amola ea liligi huluane igiga medole lelegele, laluga gobesi.
26 They piled rocks over [the ashes of] their [corpses], and those rocks are still there. That is why that valley is called Trouble Valley. After that, Yahweh was no longer angry [with the Israeli people].
Ilia da ea da: i hodo amo igi ligisisu bagade amoga dedeboi. Amo igi ligisisu da wali eso dialebe. Amaiba: le, amo fago sogebi ea dio da wali Bidi Hamosu Fago. Amalalu, Hina Gode da Ea gia: i bagade ougi fisi.
