< 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.
Ngem nagtignay a saan a sipupudno dagiti tattao ti Israel maipapan kadagiti banbanag a nailasin a madadael. Nangala ni Acan nga anak ni Carmi nga anak ni Zimri nga anak ni Zera, manipud iti tribu ti Juda iti sumagmamano a banbanag a nailasin a madadael, ket simged ti unget ni Yahweh a maibusor kadagiti tattao ti Israel.
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.
Nangibaon ni Josue kadagiti lallaki manipud Jerico a mapan idiay Ai, nga asideg iti Bet-aven, iti daya ti Betel. Kinunana kadakuada, “Sumang-atkayo ket siimenyo ti daga.” Simmang-at ngarud dagiti lallaki ket siniimda ti 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.”
Idi nagsublida kenni Josue, kinunada kenkuana, “Saanmo nga ibaon dagiti amin a tattao a sumang-at idiay Ai. Mangibaonka laeng iti dua wenno tallo a ribu a lallaki a sumang-at ket rautenda ti Ai. Saanmo a bannogen dagiti amin a tattao iti gubat, ta bassit laeng ti bilangda.”
4 So about 3,000 Israeli men went [to attack Ai]. But the men of Ai defeated them badly.
Isu nga agarup tallo ribu laeng a lallaki ti simmang-at manipud iti armada, ngem nagtataray dagitoy manipud kadagiti lallaki ti 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.
Napatay dagiti lallaki ti Ai ti agarup tallo pulo ket innem a lallaki bayat ti panangkamatda kadakuada manipud iti ruangan ti siudad agingga iti pagalaan iti bato, ket pinatayda ida bayat a sumalsalogda iti turod. Ket nagbuteng dagiti puso dagiti tattao ken napukaw ti turedda.
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].
Ket rinay-ab ni Josue dagiti pagan-anayna. Nangikabil ni Josue ken dagiti panglakayen ti Israel iti tapok kadagiti uloda ken nagpaklebda iti sangoanan ti lakasa ni Yahweh ket nagtalinaedda idiay agingga iti rabii.
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!
Ket kinuna ni Josue, “O, Yahweh nga Apo, apay nga inyegmo pay laeng dagitoy a tattao iti ballasiw ti Jordan? Tapno iyawatnakami kadagiti ima dagiti Amorreo tapno dadaelendakami? No laeng koma nangngeddengkami iti sabali ket nagtalinaedkami iti ballasiw ti Jordan!
8 Lord, we Israelis have been defeated by our enemies, so I do not know what to say now [RHQ].
O Apo, ania ti ibagak, kalpasan a timmallikud ti Israel iti sangoanan dagiti kabusorda!
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)?”
Ta mangngegto daytoy dagiti Cananeo ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga. Lawlawendakaminto ken isunto iti gapuna a malipatan dagiti tattao iti daga ti naganmi. Ket ania ngarud ti aramidem para iti naindaklan a naganmo?”
10 But Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Stop lying there with your face on the ground [RHQ]!
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Josue, “Bumangonka! Apay a nakapaklebka dita?
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].
Nagbasol ti Israel. Linabsingda ti katulagak nga imbilinko kadakuada. Nagtakawda kadagiti banbanag a nailasin. Nagtakawda ken inlemmengda pay ti basolda babaen iti panangikabil iti innalada kadagiti kukuada.
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!”
Kas pagbanaganna, saan a makatakder dagiti tattao ti Israel iti sangoanan dagiti kabusorda. Timmallikudda manipud kadagiti kabusorda gapu ta isuda a mismo ket nailasin a madadael. Saanakton a kumuyog kadakayo iti kaanoman malaksid no dadaelenyo dagiti banbanag a rumbeng a dinadaelyo koma, ngem adda pay laeng kadakayo.
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.
Bumangonka! Idatonmo dagiti tattao kaniak ket kunaem kadakuada, 'Idatonyo dagiti bagbagiyo kenni Yahweh inton bigat. Ta kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, “Adda dagiti banbanag a nailasin a madadael nga adda pay laeng kadakayo, Israel. Saankayo a makatakder a maibusor kadagiti kabusoryo agingga nga ikkatenyo manipud kadakayo dagiti amin a banbanag a nailasin a madadael.”
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].
Iti bigat, masapul nga iparangyo dagiti bagbagiyo segun kadagiti tribuyo. Ti tribu a mapili ni Yahweh babaen iti panagbunot ket umasidegto segun kadagiti pulida. Ti puli a pilien ni Yahweh ket masapul nga umasideg segun iti tunggal sangkabalayan. Ti sangkabalayan a pilien ni Yahweh ket masapul nga umasideg a saggaysa.
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.’”
Mapasamakto a ti tao a matiliwan ken addaan kadagiti banbanag a nailasin a madadael, mapuoranto isuna, isuna ken dagiti amin nga adda kenkuana, gapu ta linabsingna ti tulag ni Yahweh ken gapu ta nakaaramid isuna iti nakababain a banag iti Israel.”'
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].
Nasapa ngarud a bimmangon ni Josue iti bigat ket inyasidegna ti tunggal tribu ti Israel, ket ti tribu ti Juda ti napili.
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].
Inyasidegna dagiti puli ti Juda, ket ti puli dagiti Zeraita ti napili. Inyasidegna ti tunggal tao iti puli ti Zeraita, ket ni Zabdi ti napili.
18 Then Joshua told the men from that family to present themselves. And Yahweh indicated that Achan was guilty.
Inyasidegna ti tunggal tao ti sangkabalayanna, ket napili ni Acan nga anak ni Carmi nga anak ni Zabdi nga anak ni Zera manipud iti tribu ti Juda.
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).”
Ket kinuna ni Josue kenni Acan, “Anakko, ibagam ti pudno iti sangoanan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel ken agpudnoka kenkuana. Pangngaasim ta ibagam kaniak ti inaramidmo. Saanmo nga ilimed kaniak daytoy.
20 Achan replied, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
Insungbat ni Acan kenni Josue, “Pudno, nagbasolak kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel. Daytoy ti inaramidko:
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.”
Idi nakakitaak iti maysa a napintas a kagay manipud Babilonia kadagiti sinamsam, dua gasut a siklo ti pirak, ken maysa a barreta ti balitok a lima pulo a siklo ti dagsenna, tinarigagayak ket innalak dagitoy. Nailemmeng dagitoy iti daga iti tengnga ti toldak, ken ti pirak ket adda iti babaen daytoy.”
22 So Joshua sent some men [to find those things]. They ran to Achan’s tent and found all the things hidden there.
Nangibaon ni Josue kadagiti mensahero a nagtaray a napan iti tolda ket adda sadiay dagiti banbanag. Idi kinitada, nasarakanda dagitoy a nakalemmeng iti bukodna a tolda, ken ti pirak ket adda iti babaen dagitoy.
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.
Innalada dagiti banbanag manipud iti tengnga ti tolda ken impanda dagitoy kenni Josue ken kadagiti amin a tattao ti Israel. Imburaisda dagitoy iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.
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.
Ket innala ni Josue ken dagiti amin a kaduana nga Israel ni Acan nga anak ni Zera, ken ti pirak, ti kagay, ti barreta ti balitok, dagiti annakna a lallaki ken babbai, dagiti bakana, dagiti asnona, dagiti karnerona, ti toldana ken dagiti amin nga adda kenkuana, ket impanda dagitoy iti tanap ti Acor.
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.
Ket kinuna ni Josue, “Apay a riniribuknakami? Riribukennaka ni Yahweh ita nga aldaw.” Binato isuna dagiti amin nga Israel. Ken pinuoranda amin ida, ken binatoda ida.
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].
Ginaburanda isuna iti dakkel a gabsuon dagiti bato nga adda pay laeng ditoy agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw. Pinabaaw ni Yahweh ti sumsumged nga ungetna. Ngarud, ti nagan ti lugar ket ti tanap ti Acor agingga iti daytoy agdama nga aldaw.
