Yoshua 7
1 Lakini Waisraeli hawakuwa waaminifu kuhusu vile vitu vilivyowekwa wakfu; Akani mwana wa Karmi, mwana wa Zabdi, mwana wa Zera, wa kabila la Yuda, alivichukua baadhi ya hivyo vitu. Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi ya Israeli.
Forsothe the sones of Israel braken `the comaundement, and mystoken of the halewid thing; for Achar, the son of Charmy, sone of Zabdi, sone of Zare, of the lynage of Juda, toke sum thing of the halewid thing; and the Lord was wrooth ayens the sones of Israel.
2 Basi Yoshua akatuma watu kutoka Yeriko waende Ai, karibu na Beth-Aveni mashariki ya Betheli, akawaambia, “Pandeni mkaipeleleze nchi.” Basi wale watu wakapanda wakaipeleleza Ai.
And whanne Josue sente men fro Jerico ayens Hai, which is bisidis Bethauen, at the eest coost of the citee Bethel, he seide to hem, Stie ye, and aspie ye the lond. Whiche filliden `the comaundementis, and aspieden Hay;
3 Waliporudi kwa Yoshua, wakasema, “Si lazima watu wote waende kupigana na Ai. Watume watu elfu mbili au tatu wakauteke huo mji. Usiwachoshe watu wote, kwa sababu huko kuna watu wachache tu.”
and thei turneden ayen, and seiden to hym, `Not al the puple stie, but twey ether thre thousynde of men go, and do awei the citee; whi schal al the puple be trauelid in veyn ayens feweste enemyes?
4 Basi wakapanda kama watu elfu tatu tu, lakini wakashambuliwa na watu wa Ai,
Therfor thre thousynde of fiyteris stieden, whiche turneden the backis anoon,
5 ambao waliwaua watu kama thelathini na sita miongoni mwao. Wakawafukuza Waisraeli kutoka lango la mji hadi Shebarimu, nao wakawauwa huko kwenye materemko. Kutokana na hili mioyo ya watu ikayeyuka ikawa kama maji.
and weren smytun of the men of Hay; and sixe and thretti men of hem `felden doun; and aduersaries pursueden hem fro the yate til to Saberym; and thei felden doun fleynge bi lowe places. And the herte of the puple dredde, and was maad vnstidefast at the licnesse of watir.
6 Ndipo Yoshua akayararua mavazi yake, akaanguka kifudifudi mbele ya Sanduku la Bwana, na akabakia hapo mpaka jioni. Wazee wa Israeli nao wakafanya vivyo hivyo wakatia mavumbi vichwani mwao.
Sotheli Josue torente hise clothis, and felde lowe to the erthe bifor the arke of the Lord, `til to euentid, as wel he, as alle the elde men of Israel; and thei castiden powdir on her heedis.
7 Yoshua akasema, “Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, kwa nini umewavusha watu hawa ngʼambo ya Yordani ili kututia mikononi mwa Waamori watuangamize? Laiti tungeliridhika kukaa ngʼambo ile nyingine ya Yordani!
And Josue seide, Alas! alas! Lord God, what woldist thou lede this puple ouer the flood Jordan, that thou schuldist bitake vs in the hond of Ammorrey, and schulde leese vs? Y wolde, that as we bygunnen, we hadden dwellid biyondis Jordan.
8 Ee Bwana, niseme nini sasa, ikiwa sasa Israeli ameshafukuzwa na adui zake?
My Lord God, what schal Y seie, seynge Israel turnynge the backis to hise enemyes?
9 Wakanaani na watu wengine wa nchi watasikia habari hii, nao watatuzunguka na kutufutilia jina letu duniani. Utafanya nini basi kwa ajili ya jina lako mwenyewe lililo kuu?”
Cananeys, and alle dwelleris of the lond schulen here, and thei schulen be gaderid togidere, and schulen cumpas vs, and schulen do awei oure name fro erthe; and what schalt thou do to thi grete name?
10 Bwana akamwambia Yoshua, “Simama! Unafanya nini hapo chini kifudifudi?
And the Lord seide to Josue, Rise thou; whi liggist thou low in the erthe?
11 Israeli ametenda dhambi. Wamekiuka agano langu nililowaamuru kulishika. Wamechukua baadhi ya vitu vilivyowekwa wakfu, wameiba, wamesema uongo, wameviweka pamoja na mali zao.
Israel synnede, and brak my couenaunt; and thei token of the halewid thing, and thei han stole, and lieden, and hidden among her vessels.
12 Ndiyo sababu Waisraeli hawawezi kusimama dhidi ya adui zao. Wanawapa visogo na kukimbia kwa kuwa wanastahili maangamizi. Sitakuwa pamoja nanyi tena mpaka mwangamize kila kitu miongoni mwenu kilichotengwa kwa maangamizi.
And Israel may not stonde bifore hise enemyes, and Israel schal fle hem, for it is defoulid with cursyng; Y schal no more be with you, til ye al to breke hym which is gilti of this trespas.
13 “Nenda, ukawatakase watu. Waambie, ‘Jitakaseni mjiandae kwa kesho; kwa sababu hili ndilo asemalo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli: Kitu kilichowekwa wakfu kipo katikati yenu, ee Israeli. Hamwezi kusimama dhidi ya adui zenu mpaka mtakapokiondoa.
Rise thou, halewe the puple, and seie thou to hem, Be ye halewid ayens to morewe; for the Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, A! Israel! cursyng is in the myddis of thee; thou schalt not mowe stonde bifor thin enemyes, til he that is defoulyd bi this trespas, be doon awei fro thee.
14 “‘Asubuhi, mjihudhurishe kabila kwa kabila. Itakuwa kabila lile atakalolitwaa Bwana litakuja mbele ukoo kwa ukoo, ukoo ule atakaoutwaa Bwana utakuja mbele jamaa kwa jamaa, nayo jamaa ile atakayoitwaa Bwana itakuja mbele mtu kwa mtu.
And ye schulen come eerli, alle men bi youre lynagis; and whateuer lynage the lot schal fynde, it schal come bi hise meynees; and the meynee schal come bi housis, and the hous schal come bi men.
15 Yule atakayekutwa na vitu vilivyowekwa wakfu, atateketezwa kwa moto, pamoja na vitu vyote alivyo navyo. Kwa kuwa amelivunja agano la Bwana na kufanya kitu cha aibu katika Israeli!’”
And whoeuer schal be takun with this trespas, he schal be brent bi fier with al his catel, for he brak the couenaunt of the Lord, and dide vnleueful thing in Israel.
16 Kesho yake asubuhi na mapema Yoshua akawaamuru Israeli kuja mbele kabila kwa kabila; na Yuda akatwaliwa.
Therfor Josue roos eerly, and settide in ordre Israel, bi hise lynagis; and the lynage of Juda was foundun;
17 Koo za Yuda zikaja mbele, naye akawatwaa Wazera. Akaamuru ukoo wa Wazera kuja mbele jamaa kwa jamaa, nayo jamaa ya Zabdi ikatwaliwa.
and whanne that lynage was brouyt forth bi hise meynees, the meyne of Zare was foundun. And Josue brouyte forth it bi men, ethir housis, and foond Zabdi;
18 Yoshua akaamuru watu wa jamaa ya Zabdi kuja mbele mtu kwa mtu, naye Akani mwana wa Karmi, mwana wa Zabdi, mwana wa Zera, wa kabila la Yuda, akatwaliwa.
whos hows he departide in to alle men bi hemsilf; and he foond Achar, the sone of Charmy, sone of Zabdi, sone of Zare, of the lynage of Juda.
19 Ndipo Yoshua akamwambia Akani, “Mwanangu, mtukuze Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, nawe ukiri kwake. Niambie ni nini ulichotenda; usinifiche.”
And he seide to Achar, My sone, yyue thou glorie to the Lord God of Israel, and knowleche thou, and schew to me what thou hast do; hide thou not.
20 Akani akamjibu Yoshua, “Ni kweli! Nimetenda dhambi dhidi ya Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli. Hili ndilo nililofanya:
And Achar answeryde to Josue, and seide to hym, Verily, Y synnede bifor the Lord God of Israel, and Y dide `so and so;
21 Nilipoona katika nyara joho zuri la kutoka Babeli, shekeli mia mbili za fedha, na kabari ya dhahabu ya uzito wa shekeli hamsini, nikavitamani na nikavichukua. Tazama, vimefichwa ardhini ndani ya hema langu, pamoja na hiyo fedha chini yake.”
for among the spuylis Y siy a reed mentil ful good, and two hundrid siclis of siluer, and a goldun reule of fifti siclis; and Y coueytide, and took awei, and hidde in the erthe, ayens the myddis of my tabernacle; and Y hilide the siluer with erthe doluun.
22 Kwa hiyo Yoshua akatuma wajumbe, nao wakapiga mbio mpaka hemani, tazama, vile vitu vilikuwa vimefichwa hemani mwake, pamoja na ile fedha chini yake.
Therfor Josue sente mynystris, whyche runnen to his tabernacle, and foundun alle thingis hid in the same place, and the siluer togidere; and thei token awei fro the tente,
23 Wakavichukua vile vitu toka mle hemani, wakamletea Yoshua pamoja na Waisraeli wote, na wakavitandaza mbele za Bwana.
and brouyten `tho thingis to Josue, and to alle the sones of Israel; and thei castiden forth bifor the Lord.
24 Basi Yoshua, pamoja na Israeli yote, wakamchukua Akani mwana wa Zera, pamoja na ile fedha, lile joho, ile kabari ya dhahabu, wanawe na binti zake, ngʼombe, punda na kondoo wake, hema yake pamoja na vitu vyote alivyokuwa navyo, wakavileta katika Bonde la Akori.
Therfor Josue took Achar, the sone of Zare, and the siluer, and the mentil, and the goldun reule, and hise sones, and douytris, oxun, assis, and scheep, and the tabernacle `it silf, and al the purtenaunce of household, and al Israel with Josue; and thei ledden hem to the valei of Achar;
25 Yoshua akasema, “Kwa nini umeleta taabu hii juu yetu? Bwana ataleta taabu juu yako leo hii.” Ndipo Israeli yote ikampiga Akani kwa mawe, na baada ya kuwapiga jamaa yake yote kwa mawe, wakawateketeza kwa moto.
where Josue seide, For thou disturblidist vs, the Lord schal disturble thee in this dai. And al Israel stonyde hym; and alle thingis that weren hise, weren wastid bi fier.
26 Wakakusanya lundo la mawe juu ya Akani, ambalo lipo mpaka leo. Naye Bwana akageuka kutoka hasira yake kali. Kwa hiyo mahali pale pakaitwa Bonde la Akori tangu siku hiyo.
And thei gaderiden on hym a greet heep of stoonys, whiche dwellen til in to present day. And the strong veniaunce of the Lord was turned awei fro hem; and the name of that place was clepid the valey of Achar `til to day.
