Iosue 7
1 Filii autem Israel praevaricati sunt mandatum, et usurpaverunt de anathemate. Nam Achan filius Charmi, filii Zabdi, filii Zare de tribu Iuda, tulit aliquid de anathemate: iratusque est Dominus contra filios Israel.
But the children of Israel committed a great trespass, and purloined [part] of the accursed thing; and Achar the son of Charmi, the son of Zambri, the son of Zara, of the tribe of Juda, took of the accursed thing; and the Lord was very angry with the children of Israel.
2 Cumque mitteret Iosue de Iericho viros contra Hai, quae est iuxta Bethaven, ad Orientalem plagam oppidi Bethel, dixit eis: Ascendite, et explorate Terram. Qui praecepta complentes exploraverunt Hai.
And Joshua sent men to Gai, which is by Baethel, saying, Spy out Gai: and the men went up and spied Gai.
3 Et reversi dixerunt ei: Non ascendat omnis populus, sed duo vel tria millia virorum pergant, et deleant civitatem: quare omnis populus frustra vexabitur contra hostes paucissimos?
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and take the city by siege: carry not up thither the whole people, for [the enemy] are few.
4 Ascenderunt ergo tria millia pugnatorum. Qui statim terga vertentes,
And there went up about three thousand men, and they fled from before the men of Gai.
5 percussi sunt a viris urbis Hai, et corruerunt ex eis triginta et sex homines: persecutique sunt eos adversarii de porta usque ad Sabarim, et ceciderunt per prona fugientes: pertimuitque cor populi, et ad instar aquae liquefactum est.
And the men of Gai slew of them to the number of thirty-six men, and they pursued them from the gate, and destroyed them from the steep hill; and the heart of the people was alarmed and became as water.
6 Iosue vero scidit vestimenta sua, et pronus cecidit in terram coram arca Domini usque ad vesperam, tam ipse quam omnes senes Israel: miseruntque pulverem super capita sua,
And Joshua tore his garments; and Joshua fell on the earth on his face before the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they cast dust on their heads.
7 et dixit Iosue: Heu Domine Deus, quid voluisti traducere populum istum Iordanem fluvium, ut traderes nos in manus Amorrhaei, et perderes? utinam ut coepimus, mansissemus trans Iordanem.
And Joshua said, I pray, Lord, wherefore has thy servant brought this people over Jordan to deliver them to the Amorite to destroy us? would we had remained and settled ourselves beyond Jordan.
8 Mi Domine Deus quid dicam, videns Israelem hostibus suis terga vertentem?
And what shall I say since Israel has turned his back before his enemy?
9 Audient Chananaei, et omnes habitatores Terrae, et pariter conglobati circumdabunt nos, atque delebunt nomen nostrum de terra: et quid facies magno nomini tuo?
And when the Chananite and all the inhabitants of the land hear it, they shall compass us round and destroy us from off the land: and what wilt thou do [for] thy great name?
10 Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: Surge, cur iaces pronus in terra?
And the Lord said to Joshua, Rise up; why hast thou fallen upon thy face?
11 Peccavit Israel, et praevaricatus est pactum meum: tuleruntque de anathemate, et furati sunt atque mentiti, et absconderunt inter vasa sua.
The people has sinned, and transgressed the covenant which I made with them; they have stolen from the cursed thing, and put it into their store.
12 Nec poterit Israel stare ante hostes suos, eosque fugiet: quia pollutus est anathemate. non ero ultra vobiscum, donec conteratis eum, qui huius sceleris reus est.
And the children of Israel will not be able to stand before their enemies; they will turn their back before their enemies, for they have become an accursed thing: I will not any longer be with you, unless ye remove the cursed thing from yourselves.
13 Surge, sanctifica populum, et dic eis: Sanctificamini in crastinum: haec enim dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Anathema in medio tui est Israel: non poteris stare coram hostibus tuis, donec deleatur ex te qui hoc contaminatus est scelere.
Rise, sanctify the people and tell them to sanctify themselves for the morrow: thus says the Lord God of Israel, The accursed thing is among you; ye shall not be able to stand before your enemies, until ye shall have removed the cursed thing from among you.
14 Accedetisque mane singuli per tribus vestras: et quamcumque tribum sors invenerit, accedet per cognationes suas, et cognatio per domos, domusque per viros.
And ye shall all be gathered together by your tribes in the morning, and it shall come to pass that the tribe which the Lord shall shew, ye shall bring by families; and the family which the Lord shall shew, ye shall bring by households; and the household which the Lord shall shew, ye shall bring man by man.
15 Et quicumque ille in hoc facinore fuerit deprehensus, comburetur igni cum omni substantia sua: quoniam praevaricatus est pactum Domini, et fecit nefas in Israel.
And the man who shall be pointed out, shall be burnt with fire, and all that he has; because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and has wrought wickedness in Israel.
16 Surgens itaque Iosue mane, applicuit Israel per tribus suas, et inventa est tribus Iuda.
And Joshua rose up early, and brought the people by their tribes; and the tribe of Juda was pointed out.
17 Quae cum iuxta familias suas esset oblata, inventa est familia Zare. Illam quoque per domos offerens, reperit Zabdi:
And it was brought by their families, and family of the Zaraites was pointed out.
18 cuius domum in singulos dividens viros, invenit Achan filium Charmi, filii Zabdi: filii Zare de tribu Iuda.
And it was brought man by man, and Achar the son of Zambri the son of Zara was pointed out.
19 Et ait Iosue ad Achan: Fili mi, da gloriam Domino Deo Israel, et confitere, atque indica mihi quid feceris, ne abscondas.
And Joshua said to Achar, Give glory this day to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession; and tell me what thou hast done, and hide it not from me.
20 Responditque Achan Iosue, et dixit ei: Vere ego peccavi Domino Deo Israel, et sic et sic feci.
And Achar answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: thus and thus have I done:
21 vidi enim inter spolia pallium coccineum valde bonum, et ducentos siclos argenti, regulamque auream quinquaginta siclorum: et concupiscens abstuli, et abscondi in terra contra medium tabernaculi mei, argentumque fossa humo operui.
I saw in the spoil an embroidered mantle, and two hundred didrachms of silver, and one golden wedge of fifty didrachms, and I desired them and took them; and, behold, they are hid in my tent, and the silver is hid under them.
22 Misit ergo Iosue ministros: qui currentes ad tabernaculum illius, repererunt cuncta abscondita in eodem loco, et argentum simul.
And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent into the camp; and these things were hidden in his tent, and the silver under them.
23 Auferentesque de tentorio tulerunt ea ad Iosue, et ad omnes filios Israel, proieceruntque ante Dominum.
And they brought them out of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and the elders of Israel, and they laid them before the Lord.
24 Tollens itaque Iosue Achan filium Zare, argentumque et pallium, et auream regulam, filios quoque et filias eius, boves et asinos, et oves, ipsumque tabernaculum, et cunctam supellectilem: (et omnis Israel cum eo) duxerunt eos ad Vallem Achor:
And Joshua took Achar the son of Zara, and brought him to the valley of Achor, and his sons, and his daughters, and his calves, and his asses, and all his sheep, and his tent, and all his property, and all the people [were] with him; and he brought them to Emec Achor.
25 ubi dixit Iosue: Quia turbasti nos, exturbet te Dominus in die hac. Lapidavitque eum omnis Israel: et cuncta quae illius erant, igne consumpta sunt.
And Joshua said to Achar, Why hast thou destroyed us? the Lord destroy thee as at this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones.
26 Congregaveruntque super eum acervum magnum lapidum, qui permanet usque in praesentem diem. Et aversus est furor Domini ab eis. Vocatumque est nomen loci illius, Vallis Achor, usque hodie.
And they set up over him a great heap of stones; and the Lord ceased from his fierce anger. Therefore he called the place Emecachor until this day.
