Josoa 7
1 Fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely nandika ny didy ny amin’ ny zavatra voaozona; fa Akana, zanak’ i Karmy, zanak’ i Zabdy, zanak’ i Zera, avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Joda, naka tamin’ ny zavatra efa voaozona, ka dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.
But the children of Israel committed unfaithfulness in that which had been brought under the curse: 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 Jehovah was kindled against the children of Israel.
2 Ary Josoa naniraka olona hiala tany Jeriko hankany Ay, izay eo anilan’ i Betavena, atsinanan’ i Betela, ka niteny taminy hoe: Miakara, ka safoy ny tany. Dia niakatra ny olona ka nisafo an’ i Ay.
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 Ary niverina tany amin’ i Josoa izy ireo ka nanao taminy hoe: Aoka tsy hiakatra avokoa ny vahoaka rehetra; fa olona tokony ho roa arivo na telo arivo no aoka hiakatra hamely an’ i Ay; aza manasatra ny vahoaka rehetra hankany, fa vitsy ihany izy.
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; make not all the people to toil thither, for they are few.
4 Dia niakatra nankany ny olona sasany, tokony ho telo arivo lahy; kanjo nandositra teo anoloan’ ny mponina tao Ay ireo.
And there went up thither of the people about three thousand men, but they fled before the men of Ai.
5 Dia nahafaty tokony ho enina amby telo-polo lahy ny mponina tao Ay sady nanenjika azy teo anoloan’ ny vavahady ka hatrany Sebarima izy ary namely azy teny am-pidinana; dia ketraka ny fon’ ny vahoaka ka tonga tahaka ny rano.
And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men; and they pursued them from before the gate to Shebarim, and smote them on the descent. Then the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 Dia notriarin’ i Josoa ny fitafiany, ka niankohoka tamin’ ny tany teo anoloan’ ny fiaran’ i Jehovah mandra-paharivan’ ny andro izy sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely, sady nasiany vovoka ny lohany.
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and threw dust upon their heads.
7 Ary hoy Josoa: Indrisy, Jehovah Tompo ô! nahoana no nampita ity firenena ity foana teo Jordana Hianao, hanoloranao anay eo an-tànan’ ny Amorita handringanana anay? Inay anie izahay mba nety nitoetra tany an-dafin’ i Jordana ihany!
And Joshua said, Alas, Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh that we had been content and had remained beyond the Jordan!
8 Indrisy, Tompo ô! inona intsony no holazaiko, fa ny Isiraely efa niamboho teo anoloan’ ny fahavalony?
Ah Lord! what shall I say after Israel have turned their backs before their enemies?
9 Ary ho ren’ ny Kananita sy ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany izany, dia hanodidina anay izy ka hamono ny anaranay tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany intsony; ary hataonao ahoana ny anaranao lehibe?
When the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], they will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. And what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
10 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa: Mitsangàna; nahoana no miankohoka toy izao ianao?
And Jehovah said to Joshua, Rise up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
11 Efa nanota ny Isiraely ka nivadika ny fanekeko izay nandidiako azy; fa efa naka tamin’ ny zavatra voaozona izy, sady nangalatra sy namitaka koa, ka nataony ao amin’ ny entany.
Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them, and they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it among their stuff.
12 Koa tsy mahajanona eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony ny Zanak’ Isiraely; miamboho eo anoloan’ ny fahavalony izy, satria tonga voaozona. Tsy homba anareo intsony Aho, raha tsy holevonina tsy ho eo aminareo ny zavatra efa voaozona.
And the children of Israel shall not be able to stand before their enemies: they shall turn their backs before their enemies, for they have made themselves accursed. I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the accursed thing from your midst.
13 Mitsangana, manamasìna ny vahoaka, ka lazao hoe: Manamasìna ny tenanareo mandra-pahamaraina; fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Eo aminao misy zavatra efa voaozona, ry Isiraely; koa tsy mahajanona eo anoloan’ ny fahavalonao ianao mandra-panaisotrareo ny zavatra efa voaozona tsy ho eo aminareo intsony.
Rise up, hallow the people, and say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from your midst.
14 Dia hampanatonina ianareo raha maraina araka ny firenenareo avy; koa ny firenena izay tanan’ i Jehovah dia hanatona isam-pokony; ary ny foko izay tanan’ i Jehovah dia hanatona indray isam-pianakaviana; ary ny fianakaviana izay tanan’ i Jehovah dia hanatona indray isam-batan’ olona.
And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes; and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by families, and the family which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by households; and the household which Jehovah taketh shall come forward man by man.
15 Koa izay azo mitana ny zavatra voazona, dia hodorana amin’ ny afo izy mbamin’ izay rehetra mety ho azy, satria nivadika ny faneken’ i Jehovah izy ka nanao izay fady indrindra teo amin’ ny Isiraely.
And it shall be, that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath wrought wickedness in Israel.
16 Dia nifoha maraina koa Josoa ka nampanatona ny Isiraely araka ny fireneny avy; ary ny firenen’ i Joda no notanana.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and caused Israel to come forward by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
17 Dia nitondra ireo fokon’ i Joda izy; ka ny fianakavian’ i Zera no notanana; dia nampanatona ny fianakavian’ i Zera indray isam-batan’ olona izy, ka Zabdy no notanana;
And he caused the families of Judah to come forward, and he took the family of the Zarhites. And he caused the family of the Zarhites to come forward man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
18 dia nampanatona ny ankohonany araka ny olona tsirairay izy; dia Akana, zanak’ i Karmy, zanak’ i Zabdy zanak’ i Zera, avy tamin’ ny firenen’ i Joda, no notanana.
And he caused his household to come forward 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 Dia hoy Josoa tamin’ i Akana: Anaka, masìna ianao, omeo voninahitra Jehovah Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ka mitsora aminy; ary lazao amiko ankehitriny izay nataonao; aza afeninao ahy izany.
And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah the God of Israel, and make confession to him: tell me now what thou hast done, keep it not back from me.
20 Ary Akana namaly an’ i Josoa ka nanao hoe; Eny tokoa, izaho no nanota tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, ary izao ka izao no nataoko:
And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.
21 Nahita kapôty tsara avy any Babylona aho sy sekely volafotsy roanjato ary anja-bolamena, lanjan-tsekely dimam-polo, tamin’ ny babo, dia nitsiriritra ireny aho ka naka; ary, indreo, voàfina ao ambanin’ ny tany ao amin’ ny laiko ireny, ary ny volafotsy ao ambaniny.
I saw among the spoils a beautiful mantle of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a golden bar of fifty shekels weight, and 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 Dia naniraka olona Josoa, ka nihazakazaka nankany amin’ ny lay ireo, ary, indro, voàfina tao anatin’ ny lainy ny zavatra, ary ny volafotsy tao ambaniny.
And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 Dia nalainy avy ao amin’ ny lay ireny ka nentiny teo amin’ i Josoa sy ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ary napetrany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah
And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah.
24 Dia nalain’ i Josoa sy ny Isiraely rehetra Akana, zanak’ i Zera, ary ny volafotsy sy ny kapôty sy ny anja-bolamena ary ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy ary ny ombiny sy ny borikiny sy ny ondriny aman’ osiny ary ny lainy mbamin’ izay rehetra nety ho azy; dia nentiny ho ao an-dohasaha Akora ireny.
Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the bar 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 up into the valley of Achor.
25 Ary hoy Josoa: Adray ny loza nampidirinao taminay! Mba hahatonga loza aminao kosa Jehovah anio. Dia nitora-bato azy ny Isiraely rehetra ary nandoro ireny tamin’ ny afo sady nanangom-bato teo amboniny.
And Joshua said, How hast thou troubled us! Jehovah will trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
26 Dia nanao antontam-bato lehibe hanarona azy mandraka androany izy. Ary Jehovah dia nionona tamin’ ny fahatezerany mirehitra. Izany no nanaovana ny anaran’ izany tany mandraka androany hoe Lohasaha Akora.
And they raised over him a great heap of stones, [which is there] to this day. And Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Valley of Achor, to this day.
