Joshua 7
1 LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sin mwet Israel tuh elos in tia eis kutena ma liki acn Jericho, a elos in kunausla ma nukewa we. Tusruktu Achan, wen natul Carmi, su ma natul Zabdi in sou lal Zerah ke sruf lal Judah, el tia akos. Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel ke sripen seakos lal Achan.
But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
2 Joshua el supwala mwet ekasr Jericho lac nu Ai, su oan kutulap in acn Bethel sisken Bethaven, ac sapkin tuh elos in utyak ac kalngei in siti sac.
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3 Ke elos foloko elos fahk nu sel Joshua, “Tia enenu mwet pus in som mweuni acn sac. Lela tausin luo ku tolu na in som mweun, mweyen siti na srisrik se.”
And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; [and] make not all the people to labour thither; for they [are but] few.
4 Akuran tausin tolu na mwet Israel pa som mweun, tusruktu elos kuf.
So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
5 Mwet Ai inge elos ukwe mwet Israel, mutawauk na e mutunpot lalos ah me nu nien fokfok eot. Elos uniya mwet tolngoul onkosr ke elos oatui fineol uh. Ke sripa se inge mwet Israel elos arulana sangeng ac munasla nunkalos.
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them [from] before the gate [even] unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 Joshua ac mwet kol lun Israel elos salik nuknuk lalos ac filiya kutkut nu fin sifalos in akkalemye asor ac lalo lalos. Elos faksufi nu infohk uh sisken Tuptup in Wuleang lun LEUM GOD nwe ke ekela.
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
7 Ac Joshua el fahk, “O LEUM GOD Fulat, efu ku kom uskutme liki lefahlyat Jordan ac eiskutyang nu inpoun mwet Amor tuh elos in kunauskutla? Efu kut ku tia mutana lefahlyat Jordan?
And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
8 O Leum, mea nga ac fahk, ke mwet Israel elos forla inge ac kaing liki mwet lokoalok lalos?
O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
9 Mwet Canaan ac mwet nukewa in facl se inge elos fin lohng ke ma inge, na elos ac fah raunikutla ac unikutla nukewa! Mea kom fah oru tuh Ine pwengpeng lom in tia pilesreyuk?”
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
10 Ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Joshua, “Tukakek! Efu kom ku faksufi nu infohk uh ouingan?
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
11 Mwet Israel elos orekma koluk. Elos kunausla wulela luk su nga sapkin nu selos. Elos kikiap, ac pisrapasr, ac eis kutu ma tia lela in ituk, ac elos filiya ma inge inmasrlon ma lalos.
Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put [it] even among their own stuff.
12 Pa inge sripa se ma oru mwet Israel ingan kuf ac kofla lain mwet lokoalok lalos an. Elos kaing lukelos mweyen elos sifacna oru tuh elos in kunausyukla. Nga ac fah tia sifil muta yuruwos kowos fin tia kunausla ma nga tia lela in oan yuruwos ingan.
Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
13 Tukakek! Akmutalye mwet uh ac sap elos in akola ac tuku nu ye mutuk lutu, tuh nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel fahk mu: ‘Israel, oasr ma inmasrlon ma lowos an su nga tuh fahk mu in kunausyukla! Kowos koflana lain mwet lokoalok lowos nwe ke na kowos sisla ma kowos pisrala ingan liki kowos!’
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
14 Ke ma inge fahkang nu selos tuh ke lututang mwet nukewa in toeni ac muta in sruf. Ac sruf se su nga fah srisrngiya ac fah kalukyak nu meet, na muta in sou lulap. Ac sou lulap se su nga fah srisrngiya ac fah kalukyak nu meet, na muta in sou srisrik. Ac sou srisrik se su nga fah srisrngiya ac fah kalukyak nu meet, na kais sie mukul in sou sac fah kalukyak nu meet.
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, [that] the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families [thereof; ] and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
15 Ac el su nga srisrngiya, ac koneyukyak ma inge yorol, el ac fah isisyak ke e wi sou lal ac ma lal nukewa, mweyen el oru mwe mwekin lulap nu sin mwet Israel ac kunausla wulela luk.”
And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
16 In lotu tok ah, Joshua el usani mwet Israel nukewa, ac elos mutangan sruf. Ac sruf lal Judah sulosolla.
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
17 El usak sruf lal Judah nu meet. Na sou lulap lal Zerah in sruf lal Judah sulosolla. Na elos usak sou lulap lal Zerah nu meet. Na sou lal Zabdi liki sou lulap lal Zerah sulosolla.
And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
18 Na el usak sou lal Zabdi nu meet, kais sie mukul, ac Achan wen natul Carmi, su ma natul Zabdi sulosolla.
And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 Na Joshua el fahk nu sel, “Wen nutik, fahkkomyak nu sik ke kas pwaye ye mutun LEUM GOD lun Israel, ac fahkak ma kom oru inge. Nikmet okanla likiyu.”
And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide [it] not from me.
20 Achan el topuk nu sel Joshua ac fahk, “Pwaye nga oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD lun Israel, ac pa inge ma nga oru.
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
21 Inmasrlon ma kut sruokya, nga liye nuknuk Babylonia na kato se, ac sunun paun limekosr ke silver, ac ipin gold se su toasr liki paun se. Nga lungse yohk ma inge, oru nga srukak. Nga pikinya ma inge oasr infulwen lohm nuknuk sik, ac silver kac ah pa oan e ten.”
When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they [are] hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 Na Joshua el supwala kutu mwet in kasrusr nu ke lohm nuknuk sel Achan, ac elos konauk lah ma inge pukpuki oan we, ac silver kac ah oan e ten.
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, [it was] hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 Elos use ma inge nu yorol Joshua ac mwet Israel nukewa, ac filiya ma inge ye mutun LEUM GOD.
And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.
24 Joshua ac mwet Israel nukewa elos sruokilya Achan, ac elos us silver, ac nuknuk sac, ipin gold se, ac tulik natul mukul ac mutan, cow, donkey, sheep, lohm nuknuk sel, ac ma lal nukewa, ac elos usla nu infahlfal se pangpang Infahlfal in Ongoiya.
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
25 Ac Joshua el fahk, “Efu kom ku ase mwe ongoiya inge nu facsr? LEUM GOD El ac fah asot mwe ongoiya nu fom!” Na mwet nukewa tanglal Achan nwe ke el misa. Elos oayapa tungal ac esukak sou lal ac ma lal nukewa.
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
26 Elos etoak yol in eot se facl Achan, ac yol in eot se inge oan we nwe misenge. Pa inge sripa se sis pangpang acn se inge nwe misenge “Infahlfal in Ongoiya.” Na LEUM GOD El ohula liki kasrkusrak lal.
And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
