Yoswa 7
1 Abayisirayiri ne basobya bwe baatwala ku bintu ebyali ebiwonge; Akani mutabani wa Kaluni muzzukulu wa Zabudi era muzzukulu wa Zeera ow’omu kika kya Yuda, ne yeetwalira ebimu ku bintu ebyo: bw’atyo Mukama n’asunguwalira nnyo eggwanga lya Isirayiri.
And they acted unfaithfully [the] people of Israel unfaithfulness in the devoted thing[s] and he took Achan [the] son of Carmi [the] son of Zabdi [the] son of Zerah of [the] tribe of Judah some of the devoted thing[s] and it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on [the] people of Israel.
2 Yoswa n’asindika abasajja okuva e Yeriko bagende mu kitundu kye Ayi okuliraana Besaveni ebuvanjuba wa Beseri, n’abakuutira nti, “Mugende mukette ensi eyo.” Nabo ne bagenda ne baketta Ayi.
And he sent Joshua men from Jericho Ai which [is] beside Beth Aven from [the] east of Beth-el and he said to them saying go up and spy out the land and they went up the men and they spied out Ai.
3 Ne bakomawo ne bategeeza Yoswa nti, “Tosindika bantu bangi kulumba Ayi wabula weerezaayo abantu nga enkumi bbiri oba ssatu be baba balumba. Toweerezaayo bantu bonna kubanga ab’omu Ayi si bangi.”
And they returned to Joshua and they said to him may not it go up all the people about two thousand man or about three thousand man let them go up and they may attack Ai may not you make go wearily there towards all the people for [are] few they.
4 Abayisirayiri ng’enkumi ssatu ne boolekera Ayi, kyokka abasajja be Ayi ne babafubutula emisinde
And they went up some of the people there about three thousand man and they fled before [the] men of Ai.
5 okubaggya ku wankaaki w’ekibuga okubatuusiza ddala emitala wa Sebalimu era Abayisirayiri ng’amakumi asatu mu mukaaga ne battibwa. Entiisa ne buutikira Abayisirayiri; emitima ne gibayenjebuka.
And they struck down of them [the] men of Ai about thirty and six man and they pursued them before the gate to Shebarim and they struck down them at the descent and it melted [the] heart of the people and it became water.
6 Yoswa n’abakulembeze b’Abayisirayiri ne bayuza ebyambalo byabwe ne beesiiga enfuufu mu mitwe gyabwe era ne beeyala ku ttaka mu maaso g’Essanduuko ya Mukama okuzibya obudde.
And he tore Joshua clothes his and he fell on face his [the] ground towards before [the] ark of Yahweh until the evening he and [the] elders of Israel and they made go up dust on head their.
7 Yoswa n’agamba nti, “Mukama Katonda nga kitalo kino! Wasomosezaaki Abayisirayiri omugga Yoludaani ate n’obaleka bazikirizibwe Abamoli? Bwe twali tukyali emitala wa Yoludaani tetwaliko kabi n’akatono!
And he said Joshua alas! - O Lord Yahweh why? have you brought over at all the people this the Jordan to give us in [the] hand of the Amorite[s] to destroy us and if we had been willing and we had remained on [the] other side of the Jordan.
8 Ayi Mukama, sonyiwa omuddu wo. Isirayiri alumbiddwa abalabe baabwe, nze nnaayogera ki kaakano!
Pardon me O Lord what? will I say after that it has turned Israel a neck before enemies its.
9 Abakanani n’abali mu kitundu ekyo kyonna bwe banaakiwulira bajja kutwebungulula batusaanyeewo. Olwo erinnya lyo ekkulu bwe lityo liriba terikyavuga.”
And they may hear the Canaanite[s] and all [the] inhabitants of the land and they will surround us and they will cut off name our from the earth and what? will you do for name your great.
10 Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Golokoka. Kiki ekikuvuunamizza ku ttaka?
And he said Yahweh to Joshua stand up for yourself why? this [are] you falling on face your.
11 Isirayiri eyonoonye kubanga bavudde ku ndagaano gye nabakuutira, ne batwala ku bintu ebiwonge, ne babitabika mu byabwe ate ne balimba.
It has sinned Israel and also they have transgressed covenant my which I commanded them and also they have taken some of the devoted thing[s] and also they have stolen and also they have deceived and also they have put [them] among things their.
12 Ka mbabuulire, okuggyako nga muzikiriza omubi ali mu mmwe, Abayisirayiri tebayinza kwolekera balabe baabwe, babadduka buddusi, kubanga nsazeewo bazikirizibwe.
And not they are able [the] people of Israel to stand before enemies their a neck they turn before enemies their for they have become a devoted thing not I will repeat to be with you if not you will destroy the devoted thing[s] from midst your.
13 “Golokoka otukuze abantu era obategeeze beetukuze nga beetegekera olw’enkya bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri. Waliwo ebikwekeddwa mu mmwe; okuggyako nga mubikwekula temuyinza kuwangula balabe bammwe.
Arise consecrate the people and you will say consecrate yourselves for tomorrow for thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel devoted thing[s] [are] in midst your O Israel not you will be able to stand before enemies your until remove you the devoted thing[s] from midst your.
14 “‘Enkya mujjire mu bika byammwe, buli kika Mukama ky’anaalondamu kinaasembera luggya ku luggya, n’oluggya Mukama lw’anaalondamu lunajja nju ku nju, era enju Mukama gy’anaalondamu enejja muntu ku muntu.
And you will bring yourselves near in the morning to tribes your and it will be the tribe which he will take it Yahweh it will draw near to the families and the family which he will take it Yahweh it will draw near to the households and the household which he will take it Yahweh it will draw near to the men.
15 Naye oyo anaasangibwa n’ebintu ebiwonge anaayokebwa mu muliro ye n’ebyo byonna by’alina, kubanga amenye endagaano ya Mukama n’avumaganya Isirayiri.’”
And it will be the [one who] is taken by lot with the devoted thing[s] he will be burned with fire him and all that [belongs] to him for he has transgressed covenant of Yahweh and for he has done disgraceful folly in Israel.
16 Yoswa yakeera nnyo n’akuŋŋaanya ebika byonna, yasookera ku kika kya Yuda era n’asembeza enju ya Yuda:
And he rose early Joshua in the morning and he brought near Israel to tribes its and it was taken by lot [the] tribe of Judah.
17 n’alondamu abo abazaalibwa Zeera, ate mu nju ya Zeera n’alondamu Zabudi n’ennyumba ye:
And he brought near [the] family of Judah and he took [the] family of the Zerahite[s] and he brought near [the] family of the Zerahite[s] to the men and he was taken by lot Zabdi.
18 ate mu bo n’alondamu Akani omwana wa Kalumi, muzzukulu wa Zabudi, muzzukulu wa Zeera ow’omu kika kya Yuda.
And he brought near household his to the men and he was taken by lot Achan [the] son of Carmi [the] son of Zabdi [the] son of Zerah of [the] tribe of Judah.
19 Yoswa n’agamba Akani nti, “Mwana wange njagala oweese Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ekitiibwa era omugulumizise, ombuulire ky’okoze, tonkisa.”
And he said Joshua to Achan O son my put please glory to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and give to him confession and tell please to me what? have you done may not you hide [it] from me.
20 Akani n’addamu nti, “Mazima nayonoona eri Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri era kino kye nakola.
And he answered Achan Joshua and he said truly I I have sinned to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and like this and like this I have done.
21 Bwe nalaba nga mu munyago mulimu ekyambalo ekirungi ekyava e Sinaali n’ensimbi, n’effeeza ne zaabu ne mbyegomba, bwe ntyo ne mbitwala ne mbisimira mu ttaka mu weema yange.”
(And I saw *Q(k)*) among the booty cloak of Shinar one good and two hundred shekels silver and a wedge of gold one [was] fifty shekels weight its and I desired them and I took them and there they [are] hidden in the ground in [the] midst of tent my and the silver [is] under it.
22 Yoswa n’atuma ababaka mu weema ya Akani era ne babisangayo ng’abisimidde mu ttaka.
And he sent Joshua messengers and they ran the tent towards and there! [it was] hidden in tent his and the silver [was] under it.
23 Ne babifulumya ne babireeta eri Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna, ne babissa mu maaso ga Mukama.
And they took them from [the] midst of the tent and they brought them to Joshua and to all [the] people of Israel and they poured out them before Yahweh.
24 Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bakwata Akani muzzukulu wa Zeera ne bye yanyaga: effeeza, ne zaabu, n’ekyambalo. Ne bamutwala ne batabani be, ne bawala be, n’ente ze n’endogoyi ze, n’endiga ze, n’eweema ye ne byonna bye yalina ne babiserengesa mu kiwonvu Akoli.
And he took Joshua Achan [the] son of Zerah and the silver and the cloak and [the] wedge of gold and sons his and daughters his and ox[en] his and donkey[s] his and sheep his and tent his and all that [belonged] to him and all Israel with him and they brought up them [the] valley of Achor.
25 Yoswa n’abuuza Akani nti, “Lwaki watuleetera ensasagge eno? Nga bwe wakola bw’otyo olwa leero naawe onookiraba Mukama ky’anaakukola.” Abayisirayiri bonna ne bayiikira Akani, n’abaana be n’ebintu bye ne babakuba amayinja ne babatta era ne babakumako omuliro.
And he said Joshua why? have you brought trouble to us he will bring trouble to you Yahweh on the day this and they stoned him all Israel stone[s] and they burned them with fire and they stoned them with stones.
26 Ne balyoka babatuumako amayinja, n’okutuusa kaakano entuumu y’amayinja eyo gagadde ekyaliwo. Mukama n’alekera awo okukambuwalira Abayisirayiri, ekiwonvu mwe babattira kyekyava kiyitibwa Akoli n’okutuusa kaakano.
And they set up over him a heap of stones great until the day this and he turned back Yahweh from [the] burning of anger his there-fore someone called [the] name of the place that [the] valley of Achor until the day this.
