Zosua 7
1 Hagi kuma'ma eri havizama hanafintira mago'zana e'oritfa hiho huno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli nagara zmasami'neana, zamagra Agri kea eritre'za amagera onte'naze. Juda naga nofipinti nera Akanina Kami kasentegeno, Kamina Zimri kasentegeno, Zimrina Zera kasentegeno hu'nea ne'mo Ra Anumzamo'ma Israeli nagara e'oriho huno'ma hunagru'ma huzmante'nea zana e'rinegeno Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera tusi arimpa ahezmante'ne.
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.
2 Hagi Jerikoma mani'nazareti Josua'a mago'a vahera huzmantege'za Ai kumate vu'naze. Ana kumara Bet-aven kuma tavaonte, Betel kumamofo zage hanati kaziga me'negeno, amanage huno huzmante'ne, frakita vuta ana kumara ome afureta keho. Hige'za kema hiaza hu'za Ai kumara ome afure'za ke'naze.
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.
3 Hanki ana vahe'mo'za vute'za eza Josuana amanage hu'za eme asmi'naze, rama'a vahera zamatrege'za Ai kumate vahera hara ome huozamanteho. Na'ankure rama'a vahera omani'nazanki, ana maka vahera huzmantenka zamazeri amuhoa osunka, 2 tauseni'o 3 tauseni'a vahe'naza huzmantege'za vu'za hara ome huzmanteho.
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.”
4 Anante 3 tauseni'a vahe naza mareriza Ai kumate vahera hara ome huzmante'naze. Hianagi Ai kumate vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera zamahe'za zamagene rage'za fre'za e'naze.
So about 3,000 Israeli men went [to attack Ai]. But the men of Ai defeated them badly.
5 Ai vahe'mo'zama Israeli vahe'ma zamagenema re'nazana, Ai rankumamofo kahanteti agafa hute'za, zamagene re'za agonaregati urami'za havema nefragazare urami'naze. Ana zupa 36si'a Israeli vahera zamahe frizageno Israeli naga'mo'za tusi'a koro hu'naze.
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.
6 Josua'a ana zanku antahintahi hakare nehuno, kukena'a tagato nehuno, Ra Anumzamofo huhagerafi huvempage vogisimofo avuga avugosaregati umseno mani'negeno kinaga se'ne. Hagi miko Israeli kva vahe'mo'za Josua'ma hiaza nehu'za zamagra zamanunte kugusopa eri'za nefre'za, Josua'ene zmasunku nehu'za mani'nageno vuno kinga se'ne.
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].
7 Hanki anante Josua'a amanage hu'ne, Hanavenentake Ra Anumzamoka kagra Jodani timofo kama kaziga Amori vahe'mo'za tazeri haviza hanazegu tavrenka e'nampi? Tagrama timofo kantu kazigama manisune hutama hu'nontegama manusina, amanahu zana forera osigeta knare huta manusine.
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!
8 Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za ha' vahezmimofo zamagoro rukrahe hu'zma atre'za fre'za azanki, nagra na'ane hu'na Ra Anumzamoka hugahue?
Lord, we Israelis have been defeated by our enemies, so I do not know what to say now [RHQ].
9 Hanki Kenani vahe'mo'zane ama ana mopafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za ama anazamofo kema nentahi'za tagrira tavazagikagi'za tahe fanane hanageno, ama mopafina tagia omanegahie. Hanki kagri rankagima huhavizama osnagura kagra na'a hugahane?
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)?”
10 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Na'a higenka mopafina kavugosaregatira masetenka mani'nane, otio.
But Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Stop lying there with your face on the ground [RHQ]!
11 Hanki kotazana ko huvempa hu'na, Jeriko kumapima me'nea zantamina nagrike zanki maka eri havizama hiho hu'na huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'noana, Israeli naga'mo'za keni'a rutagre'za kumi hu'naze. Zamagra mago'azana musufase'za, zamagra'a fenozampi erinte havia hu'naze.
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].
12 E'ina hu'negu Israeli naga'mo'za oti hanaveti'ne'za ha' vahe'zaminena hara osu'za, rukrahe hu'za ha' vahe'zmi koro fre'naze. Hanki eri haviza hiho hu'nama hunagru'ma huramante'noa zantamima erihavizama osnazana, Nagra tamagranena omanitfa hugahue.
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!”
13 Otinka Israeli vahera zamazeri agru nehunka zamasamio, zamagra'a zamazeri agru hiho. Na'ankure okina Ra Anumzamo'na tamagrane eme keaga hugahie. Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamo'na amanage nehue, maka eri havizama hiho hu'noa zantamina eri'za e'naze. E'ina hu'negu tamagra ana zantamina eritre hana hutetage ha' vahetamia hara hu zamagateregahaze.
“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.
14 Hagi oki nanterana maka'motma eme atru hutetma taisi zokago reta kenkeno, ina nofipinti Ra Anumzamo'a huhamparigahie ana nofipintira nagate nagate etere nehanageno Ra Anumzamo'ma huhampri'nia nagapinti magoke magoke vene'ne etere hiho.
‘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].
15 E'ina hanageno'a maka'zama eri haviza hihoma hu'noa zantamima erino e'nesimo'a eama hanigeta, anamofona, agri'ene naga'ane ana maka zama'anena tevefi krerasageho. Na'ankure agra Ra Anumzamo'nema huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'naza kea rufutagino Israeli vahera tusi'a zamagaze eri'zami'ne.
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.’”
16 Higeno Josua'a nanterampi otino Israeli vahera kehige'za nofite nofite neazafinti, Juda naga nofi zamazeri'ne.
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].
17 Anante Josua'a Juda naga nofira zamavareno Ra Anumzamofonte e'ne, ana higeno Zera naga zamazeri fore hige'za ana nagapintira vene'ne'age'za neage'za Zabti azeri'ne.
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].
18 Hagi anante Zabti nagapinti vene'neneraminke ageno Josua'a zamazeri otiteno, anampinti Akani avazu hu'ne. Hagi Akanina Karami kasentegeno, Karamina Zapti kasentegeno, Zaptina Zera kasente'ne. Hagi Zera'a e'i Juda naga nofipinti ne' mani'ne.
Then Joshua told the men from that family to present themselves. And Yahweh indicated that Achan was guilty.
19 Anante Josua'a Akaninkura amanage hu'ne, Ne'nimoka Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzana ra agi neminka agi'a ahentesga huo. Hanki kagra na'a hu'nampi nasmio, nagri navufina mago'zana erifrara okio.
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).”
20 Anante Akani'a Josuana amanage huno asami'ne, Tamage hu'na nagra Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe'mokizmi Anumzamofo avurera kumi hu'noe. Hagi nagra na'a hu'nofi kagrira kasmigahue.
Achan replied, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
21 Jeriko rankuma'ma ha'ma huzamagatere nompintira, kogeno mago knare zantfa hu'nea Babiloniti za'za kukenane, mago'a silva kna'amo'a 4'a kilogi, golia kna'amo'a mago kilo hu'neana kogeno nanunu hige'na, eri'na e'noe. Ana zantamina erina seli noni'afi mopa kafi'na silva antete'na ana agofetu mago'azana ante'na asente'noe.
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.”
22 Higeno Josua'a kato vahe huzmantege'za zamagare'za vu'za Akani seli nompima ome kazana, Akani'ma hu'nea kante anteno ana silva frakino fenamete megeno, mago'azana anaga me'nege'za ome ke'naze
So Joshua sent some men [to find those things]. They ran to Achan’s tent and found all the things hidden there.
23 Hagi zamagra ana maka zana ana seli nompintira eri'za Josuane maka Israeli vahe'mokizmi zamavuga Ra Anumzamofo avure eme herafi'naze.
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.
24 Anante Josua'ene ana maka Israeli vahe'mo'za Zera nemofo Akanina nevre'za, ana silvama, zaza kenama, ana golima, ne'mofavre naga'ama, mofane naga'ama, ana maka bulimakao afu'ama, tonki'ama, sipisipine, seli noma'ane ana maka zama'anena eri'za, Akorie nehaza agupofi avre'za vu'naze.
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.
25 Anante Josua'a Akanina amanage huno asami'ne, Na'a higenka tagrira hazenkefina tavrentane? Ra Anumzamo menina kagri'enena hazenkea kamigahie. Anante maka Israeli vahe'mo'za have kanonteti Akanine ana maka naga'anena zamahe frite'za zamagri'ene ana maka zazminena tevefi kre fanane hu'naze.
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.
26 Ana hute'za rama'a haveraminu Akani agofetura ante hihi hu'naze. Ana haveramina meninena me'ne. Anante Ra Anumzamofoma arimpa ahe'zamo'a amne hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu ana kumamofo agi'a Akori agupoe huno me'nege'za meninena agi'a nehaze.
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].
