Yashuuca 7
1 Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku xadgudbeen alaabtii la xarrimay, waayo, waxaa alaabtii la xarrimay qaar qaatay Caakaan ina Karmii, ina Sabdii, oo ahaa ina Serax, oo ahaa qabiilka Yahuudah; oo markaasaa Rabbigu aad ugu cadhooday reer binu Israa'iil.
Yahweh had commanded that all the things [that they had captured in Jericho] should be [destroyed to show that they belong] to him. But there was a man from the tribe of Judah named Achan. He was the son of Carmi and grandson of Zabdi and great-grandson of Zerah. He disobeyed [what] Yahweh [had commanded] and took for himself some of those things. So Yahweh was very angry with the Israelis.
2 Oo Yashuuca wuxuu niman ka diray Yerixoo oo u diray Aacii, taasoo ku tiil Beytaawen dhinaceeda, oo xagga bari ka jirtay Beytel. Oo intuu la hadlay wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Bal taga oo dalka soo basaasa. Oo nimankii intay tageen ayay Aacii soo basaaseen.
Joshua told some of his men to go from Jericho to Ai [town], which was east of Bethel [city] and near Beth-Aven [town]. He said to them, “Go to Ai and (spy out the area/see what the area is like).” So the men went.
3 Oo markaasay Yashuuca ku soo noqdeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Dadka oo dhammu yaanay wada tegin; laakiinse laba ama saddex kun oo nin ha tageen, oo ha baabbi'iyeen Aacii; oo dadka oo dhan halkaas ha ku daalin, maxaa yeelay, iyagu way yar yihiin.
When they returned to Joshua they said, “There are only a few people in Ai. So we do not need to send all of our soldiers to defeat them. Send 2.000 or 3,000 men to attack them. That will be enough.”
4 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa dadkii ka tegey oo halkaas u kacay in saddex kun oo nin ku dhow, oo waxay ka hor baqdeen dadkii reer Aacii.
So about 3,000 Israeli men went [to attack Ai]. But the men of Ai defeated them badly.
5 Oo markaasaa dadkii reer Aacii waxay iyagii ka laayeen lix iyo soddon nin; oo magaalada iriddeedii ayay ka eryadeen tan iyo Shebaariim, oo waxay ku laayeen meesha dhaadhaca ah, markaasaa dadkii qalbigiisii dhalaalay, oo biyo oo kale noqday.
They killed about 36 Israelis and chased the rest of Israeli men from the city gate to the bottom of the hill. When the other Israelis saw that this had happened, they became very discouraged.
6 Markaasaa Yashuuca intuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay ayuu wejiga dhulka saaray oo wuxuu ku hor sujuuday sanduuqii Rabbiga tan iyo fiidkii, isaga iyo waayeellada reer binu Israa'iilba; oo waxay madaxa iska mariyeen boodh.
Joshua and the other Israeli leaders tore their clothes [because they were very sad about being defeated]. They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of [the Sacred Tent in which was] the sacred chest. They stayed there until that evening. They also threw dirt on their heads [to show that they were very sad about what had happened].
7 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu yidhi, Way, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, ma waxaad dadkan Webi Urdun uga soo gudbisay inaad nagu riddo gacmaha reer Amor iyo inaad na halligto? Waxaa noo wanaagsanaan lahaa inaannu degno Webi Urdun shishadiisa oo halkaas raalli ku ahaanno.
Then Joshua prayed and said, “Lord God, you brought us Israelis [safely] across the Jordan River. So why are you now allowing the Amor people-group to defeat us [RHQ]? [This would not have happened] if we had stayed on the other side of the Jordan River!
8 Sayidow, maxaan idhaahdaa mar hadday reer binu Israa'iil cadaawayaashoodii dhabarka u jeediyeen?
Lord, we Israelis have been defeated by our enemies, so I do not know what to say now [RHQ].
9 Maxaa yeelay, reer Kancaan iyo kuwa dalka deggan oo dhammu waxay maqli doonaan warkaas, oo markaasay na hareerayn doonaan oo ay magacayaga dhulka ka tiri doonaan; oo markaas maxaad u samaynaysaa magacaaga weyn?
The Canaan people-group and all the other people who are living in this land will hear about this. Then they will surround us and kill all of us! Then what will you do (to defend your reputation [MTY]/to show that you are a powerful God)?”
10 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Yashuuca ku yidhi, Sara joogso, maxaad sidaas wejigaaga isugu tuurtay?
But Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Stop lying there with your face on the ground [RHQ]!
11 Reer binu Israa'iil way dembaabeen; xataa weliba waxay ku xadgudbeen axdigaygii aan iyaga ku amray; xataa waxay wax ka qaadeen alaabtii la xarrimay, oo wax bay xadeen, khiyaanana way sameeyeen, oo waxay weliba ku dhex darsadeen alaabtoodii.
You Israelis have sinned! You have disobeyed the commands that I told you to obey. [One of] your men has taken some of the things that I told you to destroy. He has stolen them and taken them for himself and lied [about it].
12 Oo sidaas daraaddeed reer binu Israa'iil cadaawayaashooda isma hor taagi karaan, oo cadaawayaashooday dhabarka u jeediyeen, maxaa yeelay, waxay noqdeen wax la xarrimay. Anigu mar dambe idinla jiri maayo, inaad alaabtii la xarrimay dhexdiinna ka baabbi'isaan mooyaane.
That is why you Israelis have been unable to be strong when you went to attack your enemies. That is why you have run away from them. And now you yourselves may be destroyed. If you do not do as I commanded you and destroy everything [that you captured in Jericho] I will not help you any more!”
13 Kac, oo dadka quduus ka dhig, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Berri quduus iska dhiga, waayo, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, waxaa idinku dhex jira alaab la xarrimay, oo isma aad hor taagi kartaan cadaawayaashiinna, ilaa aad dhexdiinna ka fogaysaan alaabtii la xarrimay.
“Now go and tell this to the people: ‘Tomorrow you must [perform the rituals that will] cause yourselves to become acceptable to Yahweh again. Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says that one of you has kept things that he told you to destroy. You will never defeat your enemies until you get rid of those things.
14 Haddaba aroorta waxaa laydiin soo dhowayn doonaa qabiil qabiil, oo qabiilkii Rabbigu soo sooco ha ii soo dhowaado iyagoo reer reer ah; oo haddana reerkii Rabbigu soo sooco, ha iigu soo dhowaadeen xaas xaas; oo haddana xaaskii Rabbigu soo sooco nin nin ha iigu soo dhowaadeen.
‘Tomorrow morning you must present yourselves before Yahweh, tribe by tribe. Then Yahweh will indicate to which tribe [the man who took those things belongs]. Then Yahweh will indicate to which clan from that tribe [the guilty man belongs]. Then Yahweh will indicate to which family he belongs. And then he will indicate which person [in that family took those things].
15 Oo kii laga helo alaabtii la xarrimay dab baa lagu gubi doonaa isaga iyo wuxuu haysto oo dhanba; maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ku xadgudbay axdigii Rabbiga, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iilna ku dhex sameeyey xumaan.
Then the one who has taken some of the things that should have been destroyed will be destroyed in a fire. And everything he owns will be destroyed with him, because he has disobeyed the command that Yahweh gave us and has done something that is disgraceful to us Israeli people.’”
16 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu kacay aroor hore, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil u soo dhoweeyey qabiil qabiil, oo markaasaa waxaa la soocay qabiilkii Yahuudah.
Early the next morning, Joshua told all the Israeli people to stand before the Sacred Tent, tribe by tribe. [When they did that], Yahweh indicated that a man from the tribe of Judah [was the one who had taken the things].
17 Markaasuu hadda wuxuu soo dhoweeyey qabiilkii Yahuudah; oo wuxuu ka soocay reerkii Serax. Markaasuu xaaskii Serax u soo dhoweeyey nin nin, oo waxaa lala baxay Sabdii.
Then the clans of Judah presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the clan of Zerah was the guilty one. Then the families of Zerah’s clan presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the family of Zabdi [was the guilty one].
18 Markaasuu reerkiisii nin nin u soo dhoweeyey, kolkaasaa waxaa la soocay Caakaan ina Karmii, ina Sabdii, oo ahaa ina Serax ee qabiilkiisuna ahaa Yahuudah.
Then Joshua told the men from that family to present themselves. And Yahweh indicated that Achan was guilty.
19 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu Caakaan ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ammaan, oo isaga wax u qiro; oo anna hadda ii sheeg waxaad samaysay, oo ha iga qarinin.
Then Joshua said to Achan, “Son, tell the truth [IDM]. Confess to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship, what you have done]. And tell me what you did, and do not try to (conceal anything/prevent me from knowing what you did).”
20 Markaasaa Caakaan wuxuu Yashuuca ugu jawaabay, Sida runta ah waan ku dembaabay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaan sameeyey sidaas iyo sidaas:
Achan replied, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
21 markaan alaabtii boolida ahayd ku dhex arkay dhar wanaagsan oo Baabuloon laga keenay, iyo laba boqol oo sheqel oo lacag ah, iyo waslad dahab ah oo miisaankeedu yahay konton sheqel ayaan damcay, oo qaatay, oo bal eeg waxay haatan ku qarsoon yihiin dhulka meel teendhadayda dhexdeeda ah, lacagtuna way ka hoosaysaa.
Among the things [in Jericho] that I saw was a beautiful coat from Babylonia. I also saw 200 pieces of silver and some gold that weighed as much as 50 pieces of silver. I wanted those things very much for myself, so I took them. I buried them all in the ground under my tent. You will find them there. The silver is buried under the other things.”
22 Markaasaa Yashuuca cid u diray, oo teendhaday ku ordeen, oo bal eeg, alaabtii waxay ku qarsoonayd teendhadiisii, oo waxaa ka hoosaysay lacagtii.
So Joshua sent some men [to find those things]. They ran to Achan’s tent and found all the things hidden there.
23 Oo markaasay ka bixiyeen teendhadii dhexdeedii, oo waxay u keeneen Yashuuca, iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo waxay hor dhigeen Rabbiga.
The men brought them all out of the tent and took them to Joshua and the rest of the Israeli people. Then they spread/laid them out on the ground, where Yahweh could see them.
24 Markaasaa Yashuuca iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan oo isaga la jira waxay qaadeen Caakaan ina Serax, iyo lacagtii, iyo dharkii, iyo wasladdii dahabka ahayd, iyo Caakaan wiilashiisii, iyo gabdhihiisii, iyo dibidiisii, iyo dameerradiisii, iyo idihiisii, iyo teendhadiisii, iyo wixii uu haystay oo dhan; oo waxay keeneen dooxadii Caakoor.
Then Joshua and the rest of the people led Achan down to the valley. They also took down there the silver, the coat, the gold, Achan’s [wife and] sons and daughters, and his cattle and donkeys and sheep, and his tent, and everything else that he owned.
25 Markaasaa Yashuuca wuxuu yidhi, War maxaad noo dhibtay? Rabbiguna maantuu ku dhibi doonaaye. Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay isaga la dheceen dhagaxyo; oo haddana waxay iyaga ku gubeen dab, oo dhagaxyona way la dheceen.
Joshua said, “(I do not know why you caused so much trouble for us/You have caused a lot of trouble for us) [RHQ], but now Yahweh will cause trouble for you.” Then all the people threw stones at Achan and his family until they all died. Then the people burned their corpses.
26 Oo waxay ku kor tuuleen dhagaxyo badan oo jira ilaa maantadan la joogo. Markaasaa Rabbigu ka soo noqday cadhadiisii kululayd. Sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas magaceedii waxaa loo bixiyey Dooxadii Caakoor, oo waa loo yaqaanna ilaa maantadan la joogo.
They piled rocks over [the ashes of] their [corpses], and those rocks are still there. That is why that valley is called Trouble Valley. After that, Yahweh was no longer angry [with the Israeli people].
