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.
However, the Israelites had not been faithful regarding those things set apart for the Lord. Achan had taken some of them which made the Lord very angry with the Israelites. Achan was the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah.
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.
Joshua sent men from the camp near Jericho to the town of Ai, which is near Bethaven, east of Bethel. “Go and explore the land,” he told them. So they went and explored around 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.«
When they returned they told Joshua, “The whole army isn't needed. Two or three thousand men is enough to go and attack Ai. Don't bother sending everyone—there's only a few of them.”
4 Tako jih je odšlo tja gor izmed ljudstva okoli tri tisoč mož, in ti so pobegnili pred možmi iz Aja.
So around three thousand men went to fight, but they were beaten by the men of Ai and they ran away.
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.
The men of Ai killed about thirty-six of them, chasing the Israelites from the town gate until they were defeated, killing them on their way down. At this the Israelites became afraid, losing all their courage.
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.
Joshua ripped his clothes and fell down with his face to the ground in front of the Ark of the Lord until the evening. The elders did likewise, and he and the elders threw dust on 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!
Joshua cried, “Why, oh why, Lord God, did you bring us across the Jordan River only to hand us over to the Amorites for them to destroy us? We should have been satisfied to stay on the other side of the Jordan!
8 Oh Gospod, kaj naj rečem, ko Izrael obrača svoje hrbte pred svojimi sovražniki!
Excuse me, Lord, but what can I say now that Israel has turned tail and run away from its 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 everyone living in the land will come and surround us and wipe us out so completely that even our name will be forgotten. Then what will happen to your great reputation?”
10 Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Dvigni se, zakaj tako ležiš na svojem obrazu?
But the Lord replied to Joshua, “Stand up! What do you think you're doing lying on your face like that?
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 has broken my agreement that I ordered them to keep. They have taken some of the things set apart for me; they have acted dishonestly; they have hidden the stolen items with their own belongings.
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.
That's why the Israelites can't stand up to their enemies. That's why they turn and run from their enemies, and have themselves become set apart for destruction. You will not be able to stand against your enemies until you have removed from among you those things set apart for destruction.
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.
Get up, and make sure the people are pure. Tell them, ‘Make yourselves pure in readiness for tomorrow, because this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says, There are things set apart for me that are hidden among you, Israel. You will not be able to stand against your enemies until you remove all of them.
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.
In the morning, you will come forward, tribe by tribe. Whichever tribe the Lord chooses will come forward clan by clan. The clan that the Lord chooses will come forward family by family. The family that the Lord chooses will come forward man by man.
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.‹«
The one who is caught with what was set apart for destruction will be burned by fire, along with all that is his, for he broke the Lord's agreement and committed a terrible act in Israel.’”
16 Tako je Józue zgodaj zjutraj vstal in Izraela privedel po njihovih rodovih in izbran je bil Judov rod.
Joshua got up early the next morning and called Israel forward, tribe by tribe.
17 Privedel je Judovo družino in izbrana je bila Zerahova družina. Privedel je družino Zerahovcev, moškega za moškim in izbran je bil Zabdí.
The tribe of Judah was chosen. The clans of Judah came forward and the Zerahites were chosen. The clan of Zerahites came forward, and the family of Zabdi was chosen.
18 Privedel je njegovo gospodinjstvo, moškega za moškim in izbran je bil Ahán, sin Karmíja, sin Zabdíja, sin Zeraha, iz Judovega rodu.
The family of Zabdi came forward, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was chosen.
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.«
Joshua said to Achan, “My son, honor the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess. Tell me what you have done. Don't hide it from me.”
20 Ahán je odgovoril Józuetu in rekel: »Zares, grešil sem zoper Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga in tako in tako sem storil.
“It's true!” Achan replied. “I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I did.
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.«
Among the plunder I saw a beautiful cloak from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels. I really wanted them, so I took them. They're hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver buried deeper.”
22 Tako je Józue poslal poslanca in stekla sta v šotor in glej, to je bilo skrito v njegovem šotoru in srebro pod tem.
Joshua sent men who ran over to search the tent. They found what had been hidden, with the silver buried deeper.
23 Vzeli so jih iz srede šotora in jih prinesli k Józuetu in k vsem Izraelovim otrokom in jih položili pred Gospoda.
The men took the things from the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites. There they spread them out 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.
Then Joshua, with all the Israelites, took Achan, the son of Zerah, the silver, the cloak, and the bar of gold, together with his sons and daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, and his tent—everything he had—and brought them 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.
Then Joshua said to Achan, “Why did you bring so much trouble down on us? Today the Lord will bring trouble down on you.” All the Israelites stoned Achan. Then when they had stoned the rest they burned their bodies.
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.
They set up a great pile of stones over him which remains to this day. The Lord was no longer angry. This is why the place was called the Valley of Achor ever since.
