Iyyaasuu 7
1 Israaʼeloonni garuu waan Waaqayyoof addaan baafame irratti amanamummaa dhaban; Aakaan ilmi Karmii, ilmi Zabdii, ilmi Zaaraa kan gosa Yihuudaa waan Waaqayyoof addaan baafame sana keessaa waan tokko tokko fudhate. Kanaafis dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Israaʼel irratti bobaʼe.
But the children of Israel committed a great trespass, and purloined [part] of the accursed thing; and Achar the son of Charmi, the son of Zambri, the son of Zara, of the tribe of Juda, took of the accursed thing; and the Lord was very angry with the children of Israel.
2 Kana irratti Iyyaasuun Yerikoodhaa gara Aayi kan Beet Aawwen bira gama baʼa Beetʼeelitti argamtu sanaatti nama ergee, “Dhaqaatii naannoo sana basaasaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu namoonni ol baʼanii Aayin basaasan.
And Joshua sent men to Gai, which is by Baethel, saying, Spy out Gai: and the men went up and spied Gai.
3 Isaanis gara Iyyaasuutti deebiʼanii, “Namni hundinuu Aayitti ol baʼuu hin qabu. Sababii namni muraasni qofti achi jiruuf akka isaan dhaqanii biyyattii fudhataniif nama kuma lama yookaan kuma sadii taʼu ergi malee namoota hundumaa hin dadhabsiisin” jedhaniin.
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 take the city by siege: carry not up there the whole people, for [the enemy] are few.
4 Kanaafuu namoonni gara kuma sadii taʼan kaʼanii ol baʼan; isaan garuu namoota Aayi duraa baqatan;
And there went up about three thousand men, and they fled from before the men of Gai.
5 namoonni Aayis gara nama soddomii jaʼa isaan jalaa fixan. Isaanis karra magaalattiitii jalqabanii hamma Shabaariimiitti Israaʼeloota ariʼanii ededa irratti isaan fixan; kanaanis onneen namootaa baqxee akka bishaanii taate.
And the men of Gai killed of them to the number of thirty-six men, and they pursued them from the gate, and destroyed them from the steep hill; and the heart of the people was alarmed and became as water.
6 Iyyaasuunis uffata isaa tarsaasee fuula taabota Waaqayyoo duratti addaan lafatti gombifamee hamma galgalaatti achuma ture. Maanguddoonni saba Israaʼelis akkasuma godhanii mataa ofii isaanii irratti awwaara firfirsan.
And Joshua tore his garments; and Joshua fell on the earth on his face before the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they cast dust on their heads.
7 Iyyaasuunis akkana jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati maaliif akka isaan nu fixaniif harka Amoorotaatti nu kennuuf jettee saba kana Yordaanosiin ceesifte? Silaa utuu Yordaanos gamatti hafnee nuuf wayya ture!
And Joshua said, I pray, Lord, therefore has your servant brought this people over Jordan to deliver them to the Amorite to destroy us? would we had remained and settled ourselves beyond Jordan.
8 Yaa Gooftaa, erga sabni Israaʼel diinota isaa baqatee ani amma maal jechuu dandaʼa?
And what shall I say since Israel has turned his back before his enemy?
9 Kanaʼaanonnii fi saboonni biyya kanaa kan biraa waan kana dhagaʼanii nu marsanii maqaa keenya lafa irraa ni balleessu. Yoos ati maqaa kee guddaa sanaaf maal goota?”
And when the Chananite and all the inhabitants of the land hear it, they shall compass us round and destroy us from off the land: and what will you do [for] your great name?
10 Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Ol kaʼi! Ati maaliif addaan gombifamte?
And the Lord said to Joshua, Rise up; why have you fallen upon your face?
11 Israaʼel cubbuu hojjeteera; isaan kakuu koo kan ani akka isaan eeganiif isaan ajaje sana cabsaniiru. Isaan waan addaan naa baafame keessaa waan tokko tokko fudhataniiru; hataniiru; sobaniiru; waan sanas qabeenya isaanii wajjin ol kaaʼataniiru.
The people has sinned, and transgressed the covenant which I made with them; they have stolen from the cursed thing, and put it into their store.
12 Wanni Israaʼeloonni diinota isaanii dura dhaabachuu hin dandeenyeefis kanuma; isaan sababii badiisaaf ramadamaniif dugda duubatti garagalanii diinota isaanii baqatan. Ani hamma ati waan badiisaaf ajajame kam iyyuu gidduu keessanii balleessitutti siʼachi isin wajjin hin jiraadhu.
And the children of Israel will not be able to stand before their enemies; they will turn their back before their enemies, for they have become an accursed thing: I will not any longer be with you, unless you remove the cursed thing from yourselves.
13 “Kaʼiitii saba qulqulleessi. Akkanas isaaniin jedhi; ‘Boriif ofi qulqulleessaa; wanni Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel jedhu isa kanaatii; yaa Israaʼel, wanni hirmii taʼe tokko gidduu keessan jira. Isin hamma waan sana of keessaa baaftanitti diinota keessan of irraa ittisuu hin dandeessan.
Rise, sanctify the people and tell them to sanctify themselves for the morrow: thus says the Lord God of Israel, The accursed thing is amongst you; you shall not be able to stand before your enemies, until you shall have removed the cursed thing from amongst you.
14 “‘Kanaafuu ganama gosa gosaan ofi dhiʼeessaa. Gosti Waaqayyo filatu balbala balbalaan gara fuula duraatti haa baʼu; balballi Waaqayyo filatus maatii maatiidhaan gara fuula duraatti haa baʼu; maatiin Waaqayyo filatus nama tokko tokkoon gara fuula duraatti haa baʼu.
And you shall all be gathered together by your tribes in the morning, and it shall come to pass that the tribe which the Lord shall show, you shall bring by families; and the family which the Lord shall show, you shall bring by households; and the household which the Lord shall show, you shall bring man by man.
15 Namni waan balleeffamuu qabu wajjin qabame, waan qabu hundumaa wajjin ibiddaan haa gubamu. Inni kakuu Waaqayyoo cabseera; waan Israaʼel keessatti qaanii taʼes hojjeteera!’”
And the man who shall be pointed out, shall be burnt with fire, and all that he has; because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and has wrought wickedness in Israel.
16 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun ganama bariin kaʼee saba Israaʼel gosa gosaan gara fuula duraatti baase; gosti Yihuudaas ni filatame.
And Joshua rose up early, and brought the people by their tribes; and the tribe of Juda was pointed out.
17 Balballi Yihuudaa gara fuula duraatti baʼe; Iyyaasuunis balbala Zaaraa addaan baase. Balballi Zaaraas maatii maatiin gara fuula duraatti baʼe; Zabdiinis ni filatame.
And it was brought by their families, and family of the Zaraites was pointed out.
18 Iyyaasuunis maatii isaa nama tokko tokkoon gara fuula duratti baase; Aakaan ilmi Karmii, ilmi Zabdii, ilmi Zaaraa kan gosa Yihuudaa ni filatame.
And it was brought man by man, and Achar the son of Zambri the son of Zara was pointed out.
19 Kana irratti Iyyaasuun Aakaaniin akkana jedhe; “Yaa ilma ko, Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif ulfina kenni; cubbuu kees isatti himadhu; mee waan hojjette natti himi; na hin dhoksin.”
And Joshua said to Achar, Give glory this day to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession; and tell me what you have done, and hide it not from me.
20 Aakaanis akkana jedhee deebise; “Wanni kun dhugaa dha! Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼelitti cubbuu hojjedheera. Wanni ani hojjedhes kunoo kana:
And Achar answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: thus and thus have I done:
21 Ani waan Baabilonii boojiʼame keessaa waaroo bareedaa tokko, meetii saqilii dhibba lamaa fi warqee saqilii shantama ulfaatu arginaan kajeelee fudhadheera. Miʼi kunis dunkaana koo keessatti meetii jala lafa keessatti dhokfameera.”
I saw in the spoil an embroidered mantle, and two hundred didrachmas of silver, and one golden wedge of fifty didrachmas, and I desired them and took them; and, behold, they are hid in my tent, and the silver is hid under them.
22 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun ergamoota erge; isaanis gara dunkaana sanaatti fiigan; miʼi sunis dunkaanicha keessatti, meetii jala dhokfamee ture.
And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent into the camp; and these things were hidden in his tent, and the silver under them.
23 Isaan miʼa sana dunkaanicha keessaa guuranii gara Iyyaasuutii fi Israaʼeloota hundaatti fidanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti diriirsan.
And they brought them out of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and the elders of Israel, and they laid them before the Lord.
24 Ergasiis Iyyaasuu fi Israaʼeloonni hundi Aakaan ilma Zaaraa, meetii, waaroo, muraa warqee, ilmaan isaatii fi intallan isaa, loon isaa, harroota isaa, hoolota isaa, dunkaana isaatii fi waan inni qabu hunda guuranii Sulula Aakooritti geessan.
And Joshua took Achar the son of Zara, and brought him to the valley of Achor, and his sons, and his daughters, and his calves, and his asses, and all his sheep, and his tent, and all his property, and all the people [were] with him; and he brought them to Emec Achor.
25 Iyyaasuunis, “Ati maaliif rakkina kana hunda nutti fidde? Waaqayyo harʼa rakkina sitti fida” jedheen. Israaʼeloonni hundinuus dhagaadhaan isa tuman; jara kaan illee erga dhagaadhaan tumanii booddee ibiddaan isaan guban.
And Joshua said to Achar, Why have you destroyed us? the Lord destroy you as at this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones.
26 Aakaan irratti tuulaa dhagaa guddaa hamma harʼaatti illee jiru tokko tuulan. Waaqayyos dheekkamsa isaa guddaa sana irraa deebiʼe. Kanaafis iddoon sun hamma harʼaatti Sulula Aakoor jedhamee waamama.
And they set up over him a great heap of stones; and the Lord ceased from his fierce anger. Therefore he called the place Emecachor until this day.
