Josoa 7
1 Fe nandilatse amo raha navikeo o ana’ Israeleo; amy te nandrambe raha navike t’i Akane, ana’i Karmý, ana’ i Zabdý, ana’i Zerake, fifokoa’ Iehodà; vaho nisolebatse amo ana’ Israeleo ty haviñera’ Iehovà.
But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against the children of Israel.
2 Nañirake ondaty boake Ieriko mb’amy Ày marine i Bete-avene, atiñana’ i Betele mb’eo t’Iehosoa, le hoe ty nanoe’e: Akia, tampono i taney. Aa le nionjoñe mb’eo ondatio nanampoñe i Ày.
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 land.” The men went up and spied out Ai.
3 Ie nibalike mb’amy Iehosoa mb’eo le nitalily ty hoe: Ko ampionjoneñe mb’eo iaby ondatio; fe añiraho ondaty telo arivo ndra ro’ arivo hionjoñe mb’eo handafa i Ày; ko votsora’o hifanehake mb’eo i maro iabiy, amy t’ie tsy ampeampe.
They returned to Joshua, and said to him, “Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Do not make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them.”
4 Va’e lahilahy telo-arivo amy màroy ty nionjomb’eo; f’ie nitriban-day añatrefa’ ondati’ i Àio,
So about three thousand men of the people went up there, and they fled before the men of Ai.
5 naho nañohofa’ ondati’ i Àio loza t’indaty telopolo eneñ’ amby; le hinorida’e boak’amy lalam-beiy pake Sebarime añe, naho linafa’ iareo amy fizotsoañey mb’ eo vaho nalorè aman’ arofo ondatio, nitranake hoe rano.
The men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them. They chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck them at the descent. The hearts of the people melted, and became like water.
6 Rinia’ Iehosoa i saro’ey naho nibabok’ an-tane an-dahara’e añatrefa’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày ampara’ te haleñe, ie naho o androanavi’ Israeleo songa nampibobò deboke añambone’e.
Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the LORD’s ark until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
7 Le hoe t’Iehosoa: Hoke! ry Rañandria Iehovà, aa vaho akore ty nampitsaha’o Iardeney ondaty retoañe hanesea’o am-pità’ o nte-Amoreo, hampihomaha’o anay? Hamake t’ie nilesa naho nitobok’ alafe’ Iardeney añe!
Joshua said, “Alas, Lord GOD, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived beyond the Jordan!
8 O Rañandria, ino ty ho asako, kanao niambohoa’ Israele o rafelahi’eo!
Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies?
9 Ie mahajanjiñe izay o nte-Kanàneo naho o hene mpimoneñe an-tane atoio, le hiariseho anay, vaho hapitso’ iareo an-tane atoy ty tahina’ay, le hatao’o akore i Tahina’o jabahinakey?
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?”
10 Le hoe t’Iehovà am’ Iehosoa: Miongaha, ino ty ibaboha’o an-dahara’o?
The LORD said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face like that?
11 Toe nanao hakeo t’Israele; nililare’ iareo i fañinako nandiliako am’iareoy; nangalake amo raha navikeo; naho nampikametse naho nañetake vaho napoke amo harao’eo.
Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken some of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. They have even put it among their own stuff.
12 Aa le tsy nahafitroatse añatrefan-drafelahi’e o ana’ Israeleo; niambohoa’ iareo o rafelahi’eo amy t’ie ninjare fokom-patse; tsy hindre ama’ areo iraho naho tsy mongore’ areo hey o nozoñeñe ama’ areoo.
Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.
13 Miongaha, ampiavaho ondatio, ano ty hoe: Miefera ho ami’ty maray; fa hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Aman’ onjitse ty añivo’o ao, ry Israele; tsy mahafijohañe añatrefa’ o rafelahi’oo irehe ampara’ te akareñe ama’ areo hey i natokañey.
Get up! Sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, “There is a devoted thing among you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted thing from among you.”
14 Aa ie maraindray, miheova mb’eo am-pifokoañe; vaho ze fifokoa rambese’ Iehovà ro hañarine an-kasavereña’e; le ty hasavereñañe edrè’ Iehovà ro hañarine mb’eo ki-anjomba’e; le ty anjomba edrè’ Iehovà ro hitotoke ki’ ondaty.
In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which the LORD selects shall come near by families. The family which the LORD selects shall come near by households. The household which the LORD selects shall come near man by man.
15 Ie amy zay, ho forototoeñe añ’afo ao ty nandrambe o raha navikeo rekets’ o fanaña’e iabio; amy te nililare’e ty fañina’ Iehovà, vaho nanao hatsivokarañe e Israele ao.
It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the LORD’s covenant, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”
16 Aa le nañaleñàleñe amy maraiñey t’Iehosoa vaho nampitotohe’e t’Israele am-pifokoa’e le nivoa ty fifokoa’ Iehoda.
So Joshua rose up early in the morning and brought Israel near by their tribes. The tribe of Judah was selected.
17 Nampitotohe’e ty fifokoa’ Iehoda, le voa ty hasavereña’ i Zerake; nampitotohe’e ty hasavereña’ i Zerake, lahilahy an-dahilahy le voa ty Zabdý.
He brought near the family of Judah, and he selected the family of the Zerahites. He brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was selected.
18 Nampitotohe’e ki’ ondaty ki’ondaty i anjomba’ey le voa t’i Akane, ana’ i Karmi, ana’ i Zabdy, ana’ i Zerake, fifokoa’ Iehoda.
He brought near 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 selected.
19 Aa le hoe t’Iehosoa amy Akane, O anako, ehe toloro engeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, vaho andriaño; atalilio ahy henaneo i nanoe’oy; le ko aetake.
Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done! Do not hide it from me!”
20 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Akane am’ Iehosoa: Toe nandilatse am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele iraho vaho zao naho zao ty nanoeko.
Achan answered Joshua, and said, “I have truly sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done.
21 Naho nitreako amo fikopahañeo ty sarimbo soa boake Sinare naho ty volafoty sekele roanjato, naho ty tseram-bolamena milanja sekele limampolo, le nihañeko, naho rinambeko; vaho ingo, mikafitse an-tane añivon-kibohoko ao, ambane ao i volafotiy.
When I saw among the plunder a beautiful Babylonian robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Behold, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with the silver under it.”
22 Aa le nampañitrike irake t’Iehosoa, naho nilay mb’ amy kibohotsey iereo, le ingo t’ie nikafitse an-kiboho’e ao, vaho ambane’e ao i volafotiy.
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. Behold, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.
23 Rinambe’ iereo boak’ an-kibohotse ao izay le nendese’e mb’ amy Iehosoa, naho mb’amo hene ana’ Israeleo mb’eo vaho napo’ iereo añatrefa’ Iehovà.
They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. They laid them down before the LORD.
24 Rinambe’ Iehosoa naho Israele iaby t’i Akane ana’ i Zerake naho i volafotiy, i sarimboy naho i tseram-bolamenay naho o ana-dahi’eo, o anak’ ampela’eo naho o añombe’eo naho o borìke’eo naho o añondri’eo naho i kiboho’ey naho ze ama’e iaby; le nampionjone’ iereo mb’ am-bavatane’ Akore mb’eo.
Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.
25 Le hoe t’Iehosoa: Ino ty nanolora’o sotry anay? Iehovà ty hanolo-sotry ama’o te anito. Aa le nametsaha’ Israele vato, naho namorototo iareo an’ afo vaho nametsa-bato ama’e.
Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you today.” All Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.
26 Nampitoabora’ iareo votrim-bato jabajaba ty ambone’ iereo, ze mbe eo henaneo, le nitolik’ amy haviñera’ey t’Iehovà. Aa le natao Vavatane’ i Akore ty añara’ i toetsey, pake henane.
They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. The LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called “The valley of Achor” to this day.
