< Iosue 7 >

1 filii autem Israhel 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 Israhel
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 cumque mitteret Iosue de Hiericho viros contra Ahi quae est iuxta Bethaven ad orientalem plagam oppidi Bethel dixit eis ascendite et explorate terram qui praecepta conplentes exploraverunt Ahi
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3 et reversi dixerunt ei non ascendat omnis populus sed duo vel tria milia virorum pergant et deleant civitatem quare omnis populus frustra vexatur 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 smite Ai; and make not all the people to labor thither; for they are but few.
4 ascenderunt ergo tria milia pugnatores qui statim terga vertentes
So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
5 percussi sunt a viris urbis Ahi et corruerunt ex eis triginta et sex homines persecutique sunt eos adversarii de porta usque Sabarim et ceciderunt per prona fugientes pertimuitque cor populi et instar aquae liquefactum est
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: why the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 Iosue vero scidit vestimenta sua et cecidit pronus in terram coram arca Domini usque ad vesperum tam ipse quam omnes senes Israhel miseruntque pulverem super capita sua
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust on their heads.
7 et dixit Iosue heu Domine Deus quid voluisti transducere populum istum Iordanem fluvium ut traderes nos in manus Amorrei et perderes utinam ut coepimus mansissemus trans Iordanem
And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, why have you 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 dwelled on the other side Jordan!
8 mi Domine Deus quid dicam videns Israhelem hostibus suis terga vertentem
O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turns their backs before their enemies!
9 audient Chananei et omnes habitatores terrae ac pariter conglobati circumdabunt nos atque delebunt nomen nostrum de terra et quid facies magno nomini tuo
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 will you do to your great name?
10 dixitque Dominus ad Iosue surge cur iaces pronus in terra
And the LORD said to Joshua, Get you up; why lie you thus on your face?
11 peccavit Israhel et praevaricatus est pactum meum tuleruntque de anathemate et furati sunt atque mentiti et absconderunt inter vasa sua
Israel has 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 nec poterit Israhel stare ante hostes suos eosque fugiet quia pollutus est anathemate non ero ultra vobiscum donec conteratis eum qui huius sceleris reus est
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 you destroy the accursed from among you.
13 surge sanctifica populum et dic eis sanctificamini in crastinum haec enim dicit Dominus Deus Israhel anathema in medio tui est Israhel non poteris stare coram hostibus tuis donec deleatur ex te qui hoc contaminatus est scelere
Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus says the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the middle of you, O Israel: you can not stand before your enemies, until you take away the accursed 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
In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD takes 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 et quicumque ille in hoc facinore fuerit deprehensus conburetur igni cum omni substantia sua quoniam praevaricatus est pactum Domini et fecit nefas in Israhel
And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has: because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he has worked folly in Israel.
16 surgens itaque Iosue mane adplicavit Israhel per tribus suas et inventa est tribus Iuda
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
17 quae cum iuxta familias suas esset oblata inventa est familia Zarai illam quoque per viros offerens repperit Zabdi
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 cuius domum in singulos dividens viros invenit Achan filium Charmi filii Zabdi filii Zare de tribu Iuda
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 et ait ad Achan fili mi da gloriam Domino Deo Israhel et confitere atque indica mihi quid feceris ne abscondas
And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray you, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me now what you have done; hide it not from me.
20 responditque Achan Iosue et dixit ei vere ego peccavi Domino Deo Israhel et sic et sic feci
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and 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
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 middle of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 misit ergo Iosue ministros qui currentes ad tabernaculum illius reppererunt cuncta abscondita in eodem loco et argentum simul
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 auferentesque de tentorio tulerunt ea ad Iosue et ad omnes filios Israhel proieceruntque ante Dominum
And they took them out of the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.
24 tollens itaque Iosue Achan filium Zare argentumque et pallium et auream regulam filiosque eius et filias boves et asinos et oves ipsumque tabernaculum et cunctam supellectilem et omnis Israhel cum eo duxerunt eos ad vallem Achor
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 to the valley of Achor.
25 ubi dixit Iosue quia turbasti nos exturbet te Dominus in die hac lapidavitque eum omnis Israhel et cuncta quae illius erant igne consumpta sunt
And Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? the LORD shall trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
26 congregaverunt quoque 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 raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Why the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, to this day.
