Jozue 7
1 Toda Izraelovi otroci so zagrešili prekršek v prekleti stvari, kajti Ahán, sin Karmíja, sin Zabdíja, sin Zeraha, iz Judovega rodu, je vzel od preklete stvari in Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Izraelove otroke.
But the sons of Israel transgressed the commandment, and they usurped what was anathema. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took something from what was anathema. And the Lord became angry against the sons of Israel.
2 Józue je poslal može iz Jerihe v Aj, ki je poleg Bet Avena, na vzhodni strani Betela in jim spregovoril, rekoč: »Pojdite gor in poglejte deželo.« Možje so odšli gor in pogledali Aj.
And when Joshua sent men from Jericho against Ai, which is beside Bethaven, toward the eastern region of the town of Bethel, he said to them, “Go up and explore the land.” And they fulfilled his instruction, and they explored Ai.
3 Vrnili so se k Józuetu in mu rekli: »Naj ne gre gor vse ljudstvo; temveč naj gre gor okoli dva ali tri tisoč mož in naj udarijo Aj; in ne primoraj vsega ljudstva, da se trudi tja, kajti le malo jih je.«
And returning, they said to him: “Let not the entire people go up. Instead, let two or three thousand men go out and destroy the city. Why should all the people be troubled without cause against enemies that are so very few?”
4 Tako jih je odšlo tja gor izmed ljudstva okoli tri tisoč mož, in ti so pobegnili pred možmi iz Aja.
Therefore, they went up with three thousand fighters. And they promptly turned their backs,
5 Možje iz Aja so jih izmed njih udarili šestintrideset mož, kajti pregnali so jih izpred velikih vrat, celó do Šebaríma in jih udarili pri hitenju dol, zato so se srca ljudstva stopila in postala kakor voda.
and were struck down by the men of the city of Ai. And thirty-six men of them fell. And the adversaries pursued them from the gate, even as far as Shebarim. And they felled them as they were fleeing downward. And the heart of the people was struck with fear, and it melted like water.
6 Józue je pred Gospodovo skrinjo raztrgal svoja oblačila in padel na svoj obraz k zemlji do večera, on in Izraelove starešine in na svoje glave so si posuli prah.
And truly, Joshua tore his garments, and he fell prone on the ground before the ark of the Lord, even until evening, both he and all the elders of Israel. And they cast dust upon their heads.
7 Józue je rekel: »Ojoj, oh Gospod Bog, čemu si to ljudstvo sploh privedel čez Jordan, da nas izročiš v roko Amoréjcev, da nas uničijo? Bog daj, da bi bili zadovoljni in prebivali na drugi strani Jordana!
And Joshua said: “Alas, O Lord God! Why would you want to lead this people over the river Jordan, so that you might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us? I wish that we had remained beyond the Jordan, as when we began.
8 Oh Gospod, kaj naj rečem, ko Izrael obrača svoje hrbte pred svojimi sovražniki!
My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies?
9 Kajti Kánaanci in vsi prebivalci dežele bodo slišali o tem in nas bodo obkrožili naokoli in naše ime iztrebili z zemlje in kaj boš storil svojemu velikemu imenu?«
The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and coming together as one, they will surround us, and they will wipe our name from the earth. And what will you do concerning your great name?”
10 Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Dvigni se, zakaj tako ležiš na svojem obrazu?
And the Lord said to Joshua: “Rise up. Why are you lying flat on the ground?
11 Izrael je grešil in prav tako so prekršili mojo zavezo, ki sem jim jo zapovedal, kajti vzeli so si celó od preklete stvari in tudi kradli in tudi prikrivali so in to so si postavili celó med svoje stvari.
Israel has sinned and transgressed my covenant. And they have taken from what is anathema. And they have stolen and lied, and they have hidden it among their goods.
12 Zato Izraelovi otroci niso mogli obstati pred svojimi sovražniki, temveč so obrnili svoje hrbte pred svojimi sovražniki, ker so bili prekleti. Niti jaz ne bom več z vami, razen če ne uničite prekletega izmed vas.
Israel is not able to stand before his enemies, and he will flee from them. For he has been defiled by what is anathema. I will no longer be with you, until you destroy him who is guilty of this wickedness.
13 Vstani, posvéti ljudstvo in reci: ›Posvetite se za jutrišnji dan, ‹ kajti tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›V vaši sredi je prekleta stvar, oh Izrael. Ne moreš stati pred svojimi sovražniki, dokler izmed sebe ne odstranite preklete stvari.
Rise up. Sanctify the people. And you shall say to them: ‘Be sanctified tomorrow. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: That which is anathema is in your midst, O Israel! You are not able to stand before your enemies, until he who has been contaminated by this wickedness is taken away from you.’
14 Zato boste zjutraj privedeni glede na svoje rodove. In zgodilo se bo, da bo rod, ki ga Gospod vzame, prišel glede na njegove družine, in družina, ki jo bo Gospod vzel, bo prišla po svojih gospodinjstvih, in gospodinjstvo, ki ga bo Gospod vzel, bo prišlo mož za možem.
And you shall draw near in the morning, each one by your tribes. And whichever tribe will be found by lot shall come forward by its families, and the families by houses, and the house by the men.
15 Zgodilo se bo, da kdor je vzet s prekleto stvarjo, bo sežgan z ognjem, on in vse, kar ima, ker je prekršil Gospodovo zavezo in ker je izvršil neumnost v Izraelu.‹«
And whoever he may be that will be found guilty of this deed, he shall be burnt with fire with all his substance. For he transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and he committed a wicked act in Israel.”
16 Tako je Józue zgodaj zjutraj vstal in Izraela privedel po njihovih rodovih in izbran je bil Judov rod.
And so Joshua, rising in the morning, brought forth Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was found.
17 Privedel je Judovo družino in izbrana je bila Zerahova družina. Privedel je družino Zerahovcev, moškega za moškim in izbran je bil Zabdí.
And when its families had been presented, the family of Zerah was found. Likewise, bringing that one forward by the houses, he discovered Zabdi.
18 Privedel je njegovo gospodinjstvo, moškega za moškim in izbran je bil Ahán, sin Karmíja, sin Zabdíja, sin Zeraha, iz Judovega rodu.
And dividing his house by each man, he found Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah.
19 Józue je rekel Ahánu: »Moj sin, izkaži, prosim te, slavo Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu in mu naredi priznanje in povej mi torej, kaj si storil. Tega ne skrivaj pred menoj.«
And Joshua said to Achan: “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess, and reveal to me what you have done. You may not conceal it.”
20 Ahán je odgovoril Józuetu in rekel: »Zares, grešil sem zoper Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga in tako in tako sem storil.
And Achan responded to Joshua, and he said to him: “Truly, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and I have done one thing and another.
21 Ko sem med pleni zagledal lepo babilonsko obleko in dvesto šeklov srebra in klin iz zlata, težak petdeset šeklov, potem sem zahlepel [po] njih in jih vzel. Glej, skriti so v zemlji, v sredi mojega šotora in srebro pod tem.«
For I saw among the spoils a very fine scarlet cloak, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a gold bar of fifty shekels. And coveting these, I took and hid them in the ground near the middle of my tent, and I covered the silver with the soil that I had dug.”
22 Tako je Józue poslal poslanca in stekla sta v šotor in glej, to je bilo skrito v njegovem šotoru in srebro pod tem.
Therefore, Joshua sent ministers, who, running to his tent, discovered everything hidden in the same place, together with the silver.
23 Vzeli so jih iz srede šotora in jih prinesli k Józuetu in k vsem Izraelovim otrokom in jih položili pred Gospoda.
And taking these from the tent, they brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they cast them down before the Lord.
24 Józue in ves Izrael z njim, je vzel Zerahovega sina Ahána, srebro, obleko, klin iz zlata, njegove sinove, njegove hčere, njegove vole, njegove osle, njegove ovce, njegov šotor in vse, kar je imel in odvedli so jih v dolino Ahór.
And so Joshua took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the cloak, and the gold bar, also his sons and daughters, the oxen and donkeys and sheep, and even the tent and all his goods, (and all of Israel went with him, ) and he brought these to the valley of Achor.
25 Józue je rekel: »Zakaj si nas spravil v težave? Gospod te bo ta dan spravil v težave.« In ves Izrael ga je kamnal s kamni in jih sežgal z ognjem, potem ko so jih kamnali s kamni.
There, Joshua said: “Because you have troubled us, the Lord troubles you, on this day.” And all of Israel stoned him. And all the things that were his were consumed by fire.
26 Nad njim so dvignili velik kup kamenja do tega dne. Tako se je Gospod obrnil od okrutnosti svoje jeze. Zato je bilo ime tega kraja imenovano Dolina Ahór do tega dne.
And they gathered upon him a great pile of stones, which remains even to the present day. And the fury of the Lord was averted from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, even to this day.
