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.
LAWE hala iho la na mamo a Iseraela ma ka mea laa; no ka mea, o Akana, ke keiki a Karemi, ke keiki a Zabedi, ke keiki a Zera, no ka ohana o Iuda, lalau aku la ia i ka mea laa, alaila, wela iho la ka inaina o Iehova i na mamo a Iseraela.
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.
Hoouna aku la o Iosua i mau kanaka, mai Ieriko aku a Ai, ma ke alo o Betavena, ma ka hikina o Betela, olelo aku la ia lakou, i aku la, O pii oukou, a e makai i ka aina. Pii aku la ua mau kanaka la, makai iho la ia Ai.
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.”
Hoi mai la lakou ia Iosua, olelo mai ia ia, Mai pii aku na kanaka a pau. Elua tausani kanaka e pii. ekolu paha, a e luku ia Ai, mai hookaumaha i na kanaka a pau malaila, no ka mea, ua uuku lakou.
4 So about 3,000 Israeli men went [to attack Ai]. But the men of Ai defeated them badly.
Pii aku la ilaila, ekolu tausani kanaka o lakou; a hee iho la lakou imua o na kanaka o Ai.
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.
Pepehi mai la na kanaka o Ai i kanakolukumamaono o lakou; a hahai ia lakou mai ka puka mai a hiki i Sebarima, a i ka iho ana, pepehi mai la lakou. Maule iho la ka naau o kanaka, a lilo iho la i mea e like me ka wai.
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].
Haehae iho la o Iosua i kona aahu, moe iho la kona alo ilalo i ka lepo imua o ka pahu o Iehova, i ke ahiahi, oia, a me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela, kau ae la i ka lepo maluna o ko lakou poo iho.
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!
Olelo aku la o Iosua, Auwe, e Iehova, e ka Haku e! No ke aha la oe i lawe iki mai ai i keia poe kanaka, ma keia aoao o Ioredane, e haawi ia makou i ka lima o ka Amora, e make ai makoa? E aho i oluolu makou, e noho ma kela aoao o Ioredane!
8 Lord, we Israelis have been defeated by our enemies, so I do not know what to say now [RHQ].
E ko'u Haku, heaha la ka'u e olelo aku ai, i ka wa e huli ai ka Iseraela i ko lakou kua i na enemi o lakou!
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)?”
E lohe auanei ko Kanaana, a me ka poe a pau e noho la ma ka aina, a e hoopuni mai lakou ia makou, a e hooki loa lakou i ko makou inoa, mai ka honua aku. Pehea la oe e hana'i i kou inoa nui?
10 But Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Stop lying there with your face on the ground [RHQ]!
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Iosua, E ku mai oe iluna. Heaha la kau e moe nei ilalo ke alo?
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].
Ua lawehala ka Iseraela, ua ae hoi lakou maluna o ka'u berita, a'u i kauoha aku ai ia lakou, a ua lawe hoi lakou i ka mea laa, a ua aihue a ua hoopunipuni hoi, a ua waiho pu no hoi ia mea me ko lakou mea iho.
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!”
Nolaila, aole hiki i na mamo a Iseraela, ke ku imua o ko lakou poe enemi, ua huli lakou i ko lakou kua i na enemi o lakou, no ka mea, ua laa lakou; aole loa hoi au e noho pu hou me oukou, ke hoopau ole oukou ia mea laa mai o oukou aku.
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.
E ku iluna, a e hoomaemae i kanaka, a e olelo aku, E hoomaemae oukou ia oukou iho, no ka la apopo; no ka mea, ke i mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela penei, He mea laa iwaena pono o oukou, e ka Iseraela; aole oukou e hiki ke ku imua o ko oukou enemi a kipaku oukou i kela mea laa, mai o oukou aku.
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].
I ke kakahiaka, e nee mai oukou ma ko oukou ohana; a o ka ohana a Iehova e lawe ai, e neenee mai lakou ma ko lakou hale; a o ka hale a Iehova e lawe ai, e nee mai lakou ma ko lakou ohua; a o ko ka ohua a Iehova e lawe ai, e nee pakahi mai na kanaka.
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.’”
Eia hoi ka hope, O ka mea e loaa me ka mea laa, e puhiia oia i ke ahi, oia, a me kona mea a pau; no ka mea, ua ae oia maluna o ka berita o Iehova, a ua hana i ka mea lapuwale mawaena o ka Iseraela.
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].
Ala mai la o Iosua i ke kakahiaka, a alakai mai la i ka Iseraela ma ko lakou ohana, a ua laweia ka ohana a Iuda:
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].
Alakai mai la ia i ka ohana a Iuda, a laweia iho la ka hale a Zara. A alakai mai la ia i ka hale a Zara, pakahi ke kanaka, a ua laweia o Zabedi:
18 Then Joshua told the men from that family to present themselves. And Yahweh indicated that Achan was guilty.
Alakai pakahi mai la ia i ko kana ohana, a ua laweia o Akana, ke keiki a Karemi, ke keiki a Zabedi, ke keiki a Zera, no ka ohana a Iuda.
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).”
Olelo mai la o Iosua ia Akana, E kuu keiki, e hoomaikai aku oe ia Iehova, i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a e hai maopopo aku ia ia, a e hoike mai ia'u i ka mea au i hana'i. Mai huna ia'u.
20 Achan replied, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
Pane aku la o Akana ia Iosua, i aku la, Oiaio no, ua hana hewa wau ia. Iehova i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a penei no hoi ka'u i hana aku ai:
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.”
I ko'u ike ana aku maloko o ka waiwai pio, he aahu maikai no Babulona, a elua haneri paha sekela kala, a me kekahi auka gula, he kanalima sekela, kuko iho la au, a lawe no; a ua hunaia ma ka lepo maloko o ko'u halelewa, a aia ke kala malalo iho o ia mea.
22 So Joshua sent some men [to find those things]. They ran to Achan’s tent and found all the things hidden there.
Hoouna aku la o Iosua i mau elele, a holo kiki lakou i ka halelewa; aia hoi, ua hunaia, maloko o ka halelewa, a o ke kala hoi malalo iho.
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.
A lawe lakou i ua mau mea la mawaho o ka halelewa, a lawe mai la io Iosua la, a i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, a halii iho la lakou ia mau mea imua o Iehova.
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.
Lalau aku la o Iosua, a me ka Iseraela a pau ia Akana, i ke keiki a Zera, a me ke kala, a me ka aahu, a me ka auka gula, a me kana mau keikikane, a me kana mau kaikamahine, a me kona mau bipi, a me kona mau hoki, a me kona mau hipa, a me kona halelewa, a me kona mau mea a pau, a lawe ia lakou i ke awawa o Akora.
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.
Olelo aku la o Iosua, No ke aha la oe i hana ino mai ai ia makou? E hana ino mai ana o Iehova ia oe i keia la. A o ka Iseraela a pau, hailuku aku la lakou ia ia i ka pohaku, a pau ko lakou hailuku ana ka pohaku, pupuhiia iho la lakou i ke ahi.
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].
Hoopuu iho la lakou i ahu pohaku maluna ona, a hiki mai i neia la. Alaila huli mai la o Iehova, mai ka wela mai o kona huhu. No ia mea, ua kapaia'ku ka inoa o ia wahi, o ke awawa o Akora a hiki i keia la.
