Josue 7
1 Nguni't ang mga anak ni Israel ay nakagawa ng pagsalangsang sa itinalagang bagay: sapagka't si Achan na anak ni Carmi, na anak ni Zabdi, na anak ni Zera, sa lipi ni Juda; ay kumuha sa itinalagang bagay, at ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagningas laban sa mga anak ni Israel.
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 At mula sa Jerico ay nagsugo si Josue ng mga lalake sa Hai na nasa siping ng Beth-aven, sa dakong silanganan ng Beth-el, at nagsalita sa kanila, na nagsasabi, Sumampa kayo at tiktikan ninyo ang lupain. At ang mga lalake ay yumaon at tiniktikan ang Hai.
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 At sila'y nagsibalik kay Josue, at sinabi sa kaniya, Huwag sumampa ang buong bayan, kundi sumampa lamang ang dalawa o tatlong libong lalake at sugatan ang Hai; huwag mong pagurin ang buong bayan doon; sapagka't sila'y kakaunti.
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 Sa gayo'y sumampa roon sa bayan ay may tatlong libong lalake: at sila'y tumakas sa harap ng mga lalake sa Hai.
So about 3,000 Israeli men went [to attack Ai]. But the men of Ai defeated them badly.
5 At ang mga lalake sa Hai ay sumakit sa kanila ng may tatlong pu't anim na lalake; at hinabol nila sila mula sa harap ng pintuang-bayan hanggang sa Sebarim, at sinaktan sila sa babaan: at ang mga puso ng mga tao ay nanglumo, at naging parang tubig.
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 At hinapak ni Josue ang kaniyang mga suot, at nagpatirapa sa lupa sa harap ng kaban ng Panginoon hanggang sa kinahapunan, siya at ang mga matanda ng Israel; at sila'y nagsipagbuhos ng alabok sa kanilang ulo.
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 At sinabi ni Josue, Ay, Oh Panginoong Dios, bakit mo pinatawid ang bayang ito sa Jordan, upang ibigay kami sa kamay ng mga Amorrheo, na ipalipol kami? nakatigil sana kaming masaya at nakatahan sa dakong yaon ng Jordan!
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 Oh Panginoon, anong aking sasabihin pagkatapos na ang mga anak ng Israel ay makatalikod sa harap ng kanilang mga kaaway!
Lord, we Israelis have been defeated by our enemies, so I do not know what to say now [RHQ].
9 Sapagka't mababalitaan ng mga Cananeo at ng lahat na nananahan sa lupain, at kami ay kukubkubin at ihihiwalay ang aming pangalan sa lupa: at ano ang iyong gagawin sa iyong dakilang pangalan?
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 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, Bumangon ka; bakit ka nagpatirapa ng ganito?
But Yahweh said to Joshua, “Stand up! Stop lying there with your face on the ground [RHQ]!
11 Ang Israel ay nagkasala; oo, kanilang sinalangsang din ang aking tipan na aking iniutos sa kanila; oo, sila'y kumuha rin sa itinalagang bagay, at nagnakaw rin, at nagbulaan din; at sila'y naglagay rin sa kanilang sariling daladalahan.
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 Kaya't ang mga anak ni Israel ay hindi makatatayo sa harap ng kanilang mga kaaway; sila'y tumalikod sa harap ng kanilang mga kaaway, sapagka't sila'y naging sinumpa: ako'y hindi na sasa inyo pa, maliban sa inyong sirain ang itinalagang bagay sa gitna ninyo.
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 Bumangon ka, papagbanalin mo ang bayan, at sabihin mo, Mangagpakabanal kayo sa kinabukasan: sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, May itinalagang bagay sa gitna mo, Oh Israel: ikaw ay hindi makatatayo sa harap ng iyong mga kaaway, hanggang sa inyong alisin ang itinalagang bagay sa gitna ninyo.
“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 Sa kinaumagahan nga ay lalapit kayo ayon sa inyong mga lipi: at mangyayari, na ang lipi na pipiliin ng Panginoon ay lalapit ayon sa mga angkan: at ang angkan na pipiliin ng Panginoon ay lalapit ayon sa mga sangbahayan; at ang sangbahayan na pipiliin ng Panginoon ay lalapit bawa't lalake.
‘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 At mangyayari, na ang makunan ng itinalagang bagay ay susunugin sa apoy, siya at ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik: sapagka't kaniyang sinalangsang ang tipan ng Panginoon, at sapagka't siya'y gumawa ng kaululan sa Israel.
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 Sa gayo'y bumangong maaga si Josue sa kinaumagahan, at inilapit ang Israel ayon sa kanilang mga lipi: at ang lipi ni Juda ay napili:
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 At kaniyang inilapit ang angkan ni Juda; at napili ang angkan ng mga Zeraita: at kaniyang inilapit ang angkan ng mga Zeraita na bawa't lalake; at si Zabdi ay napili:
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 At kaniyang inilapit ang kaniyang sangbahayan bawa't lalake: at si Achan, na anak ni Carmi, na anak ni Zabdi, na anak ni Zera, sa lipi ni Juda, ay napili.
Then Joshua told the men from that family to present themselves. And Yahweh indicated that Achan was guilty.
19 At sinabi ni Josue kay Achan, Anak ko, isinasamo ko sa iyo, na iyong luwalhatiin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, at magpahayag ka sa kaniya; at ipahayag mo sa akin ngayon kung ano ang iyong ginawa; huwag kang maglihim sa akin.
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 At sumagot si Achan kay Josue, at sinabi, Sa katotohanan ay nagkasala ako laban sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, at ganito't ganito ang aking ginawa:
Achan replied, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
21 Nang aking makita sa samsam ang mainam na balabal na yaring Babilonia, at ang dalawang daang siklong pilak, at ang isang dila na ginto, na limang pung siklo ang timbang, ay akin ngang inimbot, at aking kinuha; at, narito, nangakukubli sa lupa sa gitna ng aking tolda, at ang pilak ay nasa ilalim niyaon.
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 Sa gayo'y nagsugo si Josue ng mga sugo at kanilang tinakbo ang tolda; at, narito, nakakubli sa kaniyang tolda, at ang pilak ay nasa ilalim niyaon.
So Joshua sent some men [to find those things]. They ran to Achan’s tent and found all the things hidden there.
23 At kanilang kinuha sa gitna ng tolda, at dinala kay Josue, at sa lahat ng mga anak ni Israel; at kanilang inilapag sa harap ng Panginoon.
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 At kinuha ni Josue, at ng buong Israel na kasama niya, si Achan na anak ni Zera at ang pilak, at ang balabal, at ang dila na ginto, at ang kaniyang mga anak na lalake at babae, at ang kaniyang mga baka, at ang kaniyang mga asno, at ang kaniyang mga tupa, at ang kaniyang tolda, at ang lahat niyang tinatangkilik: at kanilang isinampa sa libis ng Achor.
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 At sinabi ni Josue, Bakit mo kami binagabag? babagabagin ka sa araw na ito ng Panginoon. At binato siya ng mga bato ng buong Israel; at sinunog nila sila sa apoy, at binato sila ng mga bato.
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 At kanilang binuntunan siya ng malaking bunton na mga bato, hanggang sa araw na ito; at ang Panginoon ay nagpigil ng kabangisan ng kaniyang galit. Kaya't ang pangalan ng dakong yaon ay tinawag na, Ang libis ng Achor, hanggang sa araw na ito.
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].
