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 trespass in the accursed thing: for 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 the LORD was kindled against 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 from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
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 smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour there; for they are but few.
4 Kanaafuu namoonni gara kuma sadii taʼan kaʼanii ol baʼan; isaan garuu namoota Aayi duraa baqatan;
So there went up there from the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
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 Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: therefore the hearts of the people melted, 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 clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon 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, Alas, O Lord GOD, why hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? O that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of Jordan!
8 Yaa Gooftaa, erga sabni Israaʼel diinota isaa baqatee ani amma maal jechuu dandaʼa?
O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
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?”
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall surround us, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do to thy great name?
10 Waaqayyos Iyyaasuudhaan akkana jedhe; “Ol kaʼi! Ati maaliif addaan gombifamte?
And the LORD said to Joshua, Arise; why liest thou thus upon thy 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.
Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and deceived also, and they have put it even among their own goods.
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.
Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
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 say, Sanctify yourselves for to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among 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.
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to their families; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come 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 it shall be, that he that is taken 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 folly in Israel.
16 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun ganama bariin kaʼee saba Israaʼel gosa gosaan gara fuula duraatti baase; gosti Yihuudaas ni filatame.
So Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
17 Balballi Yihuudaa gara fuula duraatti baʼe; Iyyaasuunis balbala Zaaraa addaan baase. Balballi Zaaraas maatii maatiin gara fuula duraatti baʼe; Zabdiinis ni filatame.
And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
18 Iyyaasuunis maatii isaa nama tokko tokkoon gara fuula duratti baase; Aakaan ilmi Karmii, ilmi Zabdii, ilmi Zaaraa kan gosa Yihuudaa ni filatame.
And he brought 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 taken.
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 Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me now what thou hast done; 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 Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and 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.”
When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then 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 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun ergamoota erge; isaanis gara dunkaana sanaatti fiigan; miʼi sunis dunkaanicha keessatti, meetii jala dhokfamee ture.
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 Isaan miʼa sana dunkaanicha keessaa guuranii gara Iyyaasuutii fi Israaʼeloota hundaatti fidanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti diriirsan.
And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out 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, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them to the valley of 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, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them 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 raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, to this day.
