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 a trespass on the devoted things; for 'Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted things: and the anger of the Lord 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 Beth-el, and said unto them, thus, 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 unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite 'Ai: do not fatigue all the people [to go] thither; for they are but few.
4 Dia niakatra nankany ny olona sasany, tokony ho telo arivo lahy; kanjo nandositra teo anoloan’ ny mponina tao Ay ireo.
So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men; and 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 and six men; and they chased them from before the gate unto the stone-quarries, and smote them on the declivity [of the hill]; wherefore the heart 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 upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he with the elders of Israel, and they put dust upon their head.
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, O Lord Eternal, wherefore hast thou caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Emorites, to destroy us? and oh! that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!
8 Indrisy, Tompo ô! inona intsony no holazaiko, fa ny Isiraely efa niamboho teo anoloan’ ny fahavalony?
I pray thee, O Lord, what shall I say, since Israel have turned their back 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?
And when the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, they will environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth; and what wilt thou do for thy great name?
10 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Josoa: Mitsangàna; nahoana no miankohoka toy izao ianao?
And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou 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 have commanded them; and they have also taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and have also dissembled, and they have also put it into their own vessels.
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.
Therefore will the children of Israel not be able to stand up before their enemies; their back will they turn before their enemies, because they have become accursed: I will not be any more with you, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
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, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow; for thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, An accursed thing is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand up before thy enemies, until ye have removed the accursed from among you.
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 the Lord will seize shall come near according to its families; and the family which the Lord will seize shall come near by households; and the household which the Lord shall seize will come near by its men.
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 that is seized 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 wickedness in Israel.
16 Dia nifoha maraina koa Josoa ka nampanatona ny Isiraely araka ny fireneny avy; ary ny firenen’ i Joda no notanana.
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was seized;
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 brought near the family of Judah, and he seized the family of the Zarchites; and he brought near the family of the Zarchites by its men, and Zabdi was seized;
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 brought near his household by its men, and 'Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah, was seized.
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 unto 'Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me, I pray thee, what thou hast done: hide nothing 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, Truly! I have indeed sinned against the Lord 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 spoil a handsome Babylonish mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels in weight, and I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver beneath the same.
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.
Joshua thereupon sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver beneath 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 unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and they laid them out before the Lord.
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.
And Joshua took 'Achan the son of Zerach, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and all Israel were with him, and they brought them up unto 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! so shall the Lord trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burnt them with fire, after they had 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] unto this day; and the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of 'Achor, unto this day.
