여호수아 7
Korean Living Bible
아간의 죄
7 이스라엘 백성 가운데 전리품에 관한 여호와의 명령을 어기고 죄를 범한 자 가 있었다. 그는 유다 지파에 속한 세라의 증손이며 삽디의 손자이자 갈미의 아들인 아간이었다. 그가 전리품의 일부를 훔쳤으므로 여호와께서 이스라엘 백성에게 몹시 노하셨다.
2 [a]여리고성을 점령한 직후에, 여호수아는 여리고에서 몇 명의 정찰병을 보내 벧엘 동쪽, 벤 – 아웬 근처에 있는 아이성을 탐지해 오라고 지시하였다. 그래서 그들은 그 땅을 탐지하고
3 돌아와서 여호수아에게 이렇게 보고하였다. “아이성을 치기 위해 모든 군대가 다 올라갈 필요는 없습니다. 그 곳은 2∼3천 명 정도의 병력이면 충분히 칠 수 있는 조그마한 성이었습니다.”
4 그래서 3,000명 정도의 병력만 보냈으나 그들은 보기 좋게 패하여 아이군 앞에서 도망하였다.
5 아이군이 접전 끝에 36명 정도의 이스라엘군을 죽이고 도주하는 나머지 병력을 성문에서부터 스바림까지 추격하여 비탈길에서 쳤으므로 이스라엘군은 [b]전의를 상실한 채 기진 맥진하여 떨고 있었다.
6 그러자 여호수아는 이스라엘 백성의 지도자들과 함께 옷을 찢고 통곡하며 머리에 티끌을 뒤집어쓰고 해가 저물도록 여호와의 법궤 앞에 엎드려 있다가
7 여호와께 이렇게 부르짖었다. “주 여호와여, 정말 슬픈 일입니다. 어째서 이 백성을 인도하여 요단강을 건너게 하시고 아모리 사람의 손에 넘겨 멸망시키려고 하십니까? 차라리 우리가 요단강 건너편에서 살았더라면 좋을 뻔하였습니다.
8 여호와여, 이스라엘군이 적군에게 패하여 쫓겨왔는데 내가 무슨 말을 할 수 있겠습니까?
9 가나안 사람들과 그 주변 민족들이 이 소식을 듣게 되면 그들이 우리를 포위하여 전멸시킬 것입니다. 주의 크신 이름을 위해 주께서는 어떻게 하시겠습니까?”
10 그때 여호와께서 여호수아에게 말씀하셨다. “일어나라! 어째서 이렇게 엎드려 있느냐?
11 이스라엘이 죄를 짓고 말았다! 그들이 내 명령에 불순종하여 만지지 말라고 지시한 물건을 훔치고서도 그 사실을 속이고 그것을 자기 소유물 가운데 숨겨 두었다.
12 이것이 바로 이스라엘군이 적군에게 패하여 등을 돌리고 달아나게 된 이유이다. 그 결과 너희도 역시 그 저주받은 물건과 같이 되었다. 너희가 가져서는 안 될 그 물건을 너희에게서 제거하지 않는 한 내가 다시는 너희와 함께하지 않을 것이다.
13 너는 일어나 백성들을 성결하게 하고 내일을 위해 준비하라고 지시하여라. 그리고 이스라엘의 하나님 나 여호와가 이렇게 말한다고 그들에게 전하여라. ‘이스라엘아, 너희 가운데 가져서는 안 될 물건을 도둑질한 사람이 있다. 너희가 그 물건을 너희에게서 제거하기 전에는 너희가 적군을 당해 낼 수 없을 것이다.
14 내일 아침 너희는 지파별로 내 앞에 가까이 나오너라. 범인이 속해 있는 지파를 나 여호와가 지적하겠다. 나에게 지적당한 그 지파는 집안별로 가까이 나오너라. 나 여호와가 그 범죄한 집안을 지적하겠다. 나에게 지적당한 집안은 가족별로 나오너라. 그리고 지적당한 가족은 한 사람씩 나와야 한다.
15 너희는 가져서는 안 될 물건을 도둑질한 자로 뽑힌 그 사람과 가족을 화형시키고 그가 가진 모든 물건을 불태워 버려라. 그는 나 여호와와의 계약을 어기고 이스라엘 가운데 재난을 불러일으킨 장본인이다.’ ”
16 다음날 아침 일찍 여호수아는 이스라엘 백성을 각 지파별로 여호와 앞에 가까이 나오게 했는데 그 중에서 유다 지파가 뽑혔다.
17 그리고 유다 지파를 각 집안별로 나오게 했을 때 세라 집안이 뽑혔다. 그 다음에 여호수아가 세라 집안을 각 가족별로 나오게 하자 거기서 삽디의 가족이 뽑혔고
18 마지막으로 삽디의 가족 중에서 남자들을 한 사람씩 나오게 하자 삽디의 손자이며 갈미의 아들인 아간이 범인으로 뽑혔다.
19 그때 여호수아가 아간에게 말하였다. “너는 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께 사실을 말하고 죄를 고백하여라. 네가 한 일을 하나도 숨기지 말고 낱낱이 나에게 말하라.”
20 그러자 아간이 여호수아에게 대답하였다. “내가 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께 범죄한 것이 사실입니다.
21 내가 [c]바빌로니아 제품의 예쁜 외투 한 벌과 [d]약 2.3킬로그램의 은과 [e]570그램의 금덩어리 하나를 보고 탐이 나서 가져왔습니다. 그 물건들은 지금 내 천막 안의 땅 속에 묻혀 있으며 은은 제일 밑에 있습니다.”
22 그래서 여호수아는 몇 사람을 시켜 그 물건들을 찾아오라고 지시하였다. 그들이 천막으로 달려가 보니 그 물건들은 아간이 말한 곳에 그대로 숨겨져 있었고 은은 제일 밑에 있었다.
23 그들은 그 물건을 여호수아와 백성들이 있는 곳으로 가져와 여호와 앞에 쏟아 놓았다.
24 그러자 여호수아와 모든 이스라엘 백성은 아간과 그의 아들딸들을 붙잡고 그 은과 외투와 금덩어리와 그의 모든 가축과 천막, 그리고 그가 소유한 모든 물건을 끌고 [f]아골 골짜기로 올라갔다.
25 여호수아가 아간에게 “네가 어째서 우리를 그처럼 괴롭혔느냐? 이제 여호와께서 너를 괴롭힐 것이다” 하자 이스라엘 백성이 아간과 그 가족과 그 모든 소유물을 돌로 치고 불살라 버렸다.
26 그런 다음 이스라엘 백성은 그 위에 큰 돌무더기를 쌓고 그 곳 이름을 ‘괴로움의 골짜기’ 라 불렀는데 오늘날까지도 그 이름이 그대로 남아 있다. 여호와께서는 그제서야 노여움을 거두셨다.
约书亚记 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
亚干犯罪
7 以色列人在当毁灭之物的事上犯了罪。因为犹大支派中谢拉的曾孙、撒底的孙子、迦米的儿子亚干拿了一些本该毁灭的东西,耶和华便向以色列人发怒。
2 当时,约书亚从耶利哥派人去侦察伯特利东边靠近伯·亚文的艾城。 3 他们侦察回来后对约书亚说:“那里的居民很少,我们不必劳师动众派所有的人上去,只要派两三千人上去便可以攻取艾城。” 4 于是,大约有三千以色列人去攻打艾城,不料却被艾城人击溃。 5 艾城的人杀了他们三十六人,从城门前追杀他们,一直到示巴琳,在下坡处杀败他们。以色列人吓得心惊胆战。
6 约书亚和以色列的长老便撕裂衣服,把灰撒在头上,俯伏在耶和华的约柜面前,直到晚上。 7 约书亚说:“唉!主耶和华啊,你让我们过了约旦河,为什么把我们交在亚摩利人手上,让他们毁灭我们呢?倒不如让我们住在约旦河对岸! 8 主啊,现在以色列人被仇敌打败,我还有什么话可说呢? 9 迦南人和这一带的人听到这消息以后,必从四面八方来围攻我们,将我们从地上斩尽杀绝。那时候,你的威名又何在呢?”
10 耶和华对约书亚说:“起来吧!你为何俯伏在地? 11 以色列人犯了罪,违背了我吩咐他们应守的约,偷拿了本该毁灭的东西放在自己的行囊里,还撒谎。 12 所以,以色列人受咒诅,无法抵挡敌人,掉头败逃。你必须将那些本该毁灭的东西从你们中间除掉,不然我就不再与你们同在。 13 起来吧!去吩咐民众洁净自己,让他们为明天洁净自己,因为以色列的上帝耶和华这样说,‘以色列啊!你们中间有本该毁灭的东西,你们不除掉这些东西就无法抵挡敌人。 14 明天早上,你们要按支派一个一个前来,耶和华指出哪个支派,哪支派的各宗族便要前来。耶和华指出哪个宗族,哪宗族的各家族便要前来。耶和华指出哪个家族,哪家族的各成员便要前来。 15 哪个人被指出拿了本该毁灭的东西,哪个人及其所有的东西就要被火焚烧。因为他违背了耶和华的约,在以色列人中做了可耻的事。’”
16 第二天清早,约书亚按照支派召来以色列人,结果抽中犹大支派; 17 他让犹大支派各宗族前来,结果抽中谢拉宗族;他让谢拉宗族前来,结果抽中撒底家族; 18 他让撒底家族的人一个一个前来,结果抽中迦米的儿子亚干。 19 约书亚对亚干说:“孩子啊,我劝你把荣耀归给以色列的上帝耶和华,向祂认罪,把你所做的事告诉我,不要隐瞒。” 20 亚干答道:“我的确得罪了以色列的上帝耶和华。事情是这样的, 21 在夺得的财物中,我看上了一件漂亮的示拿外衣、两千二百克银子和五百五十克金子,我一时贪心便拿去了,藏在我帐篷的地底下,银子就放在衣服下面。”
22 约书亚派人跑到他的帐篷里,果然在那里找到了那件衣服和衣服下面的银子。 23 他们将这些东西带到约书亚和民众那里,摆在耶和华面前。 24 约书亚和全体以色列人把谢拉家族的亚干、那些银子、衣服和金子及其儿女、牛、驴、羊、帐篷和一切所有都带到亚割谷。 25 约书亚对亚干说:“你为什么给我们惹祸呢?今天耶和华要降祸给你。”于是,以色列人便拿石头打死了他和他一切的人畜,将其烧毁。 26 他们在亚干身上堆起一大堆石头,那些石头今天还在。耶和华这才息怒,因此那地方至今还叫亚割[a]谷。

Joshua 7
New International Version
Achan’s Sin
7 But the Israelites were unfaithful in regard to the devoted things[a];(A) Achan(B) son of Karmi, the son of Zimri,[b] the son of Zerah,(C) of the tribe of Judah,(D) took some of them. So the Lord’s anger burned(E) against Israel.(F)
2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai,(G) which is near Beth Aven(H) to the east of Bethel,(I) and told them, “Go up and spy out(J) the region.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 When they returned to Joshua, they said, “Not all the army will have to go up against Ai. Send two or three thousand men to take it and do not weary the whole army, for only a few people live there.” 4 So about three thousand went up; but they were routed by the men of Ai,(K) 5 who killed about thirty-six(L) of them. They chased the Israelites from the city gate as far as the stone quarries and struck them down on the slopes. At this the hearts of the people melted in fear(M) and became like water.
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes(N) and fell facedown(O) to the ground before the ark of the Lord, remaining there till evening.(P) The elders of Israel(Q) did the same, and sprinkled dust(R) on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord, why(S) did you ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us?(T) If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan! 8 Pardon your servant, Lord. What can I say, now that Israel has been routed by its enemies? 9 The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth.(U) What then will you do for your own great name?(V)”
10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face? 11 Israel has sinned;(W) they have violated my covenant,(X) which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied,(Y) they have put them with their own possessions.(Z) 12 That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies;(AA) they turn their backs(AB) and run(AC) because they have been made liable to destruction.(AD) I will not be with you anymore(AE) unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.
13 “Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, ‘Consecrate yourselves(AF) in preparation for tomorrow; for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: There are devoted things among you, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.
14 “‘In the morning, present(AG) yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe the Lord chooses(AH) shall come forward clan by clan; the clan the Lord chooses shall come forward family by family; and the family the Lord chooses shall come forward man by man. 15 Whoever is caught with the devoted things(AI) shall be destroyed by fire,(AJ) along with all that belongs to him.(AK) He has violated the covenant(AL) of the Lord and has done an outrageous thing in Israel!’”(AM)
16 Early the next morning Joshua had Israel come forward by tribes, and Judah was chosen. 17 The clans of Judah came forward, and the Zerahites were chosen.(AN) He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward by families, and Zimri was chosen. 18 Joshua had his family come forward man by man, and Achan son of Karmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah,(AO) was chosen.(AP)
19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory(AQ) to the Lord, the God of Israel, and honor him. Tell(AR) me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
20 Achan replied, “It is true! I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: 21 When I saw in the plunder(AS) a beautiful robe from Babylonia,[c] two hundred shekels[d] of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels,[e] I coveted(AT) them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath. 23 They took the things from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites and spread them out before the Lord.
24 Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons(AU) and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor.(AV) 25 Joshua said, “Why have you brought this trouble(AW) on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.”
Then all Israel stoned him,(AX) and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them.(AY) 26 Over Achan they heaped(AZ) up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.(BA) Then the Lord turned from his fierce anger.(BB) Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor[f](BC) ever since.

Joshua 7
King James Version
7 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
10 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the Lord shall take shall come by households; and the household which the Lord shall take shall come man by man.
15 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
18 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the Lord.
24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
여호수아 7
Korean Living Bible
아간의 죄
7 이스라엘 백성 가운데 전리품에 관한 여호와의 명령을 어기고 죄를 범한 자 가 있었다. 그는 유다 지파에 속한 세라의 증손이며 삽디의 손자이자 갈미의 아들인 아간이었다. 그가 전리품의 일부를 훔쳤으므로 여호와께서 이스라엘 백성에게 몹시 노하셨다.
2 [a]여리고성을 점령한 직후에, 여호수아는 여리고에서 몇 명의 정찰병을 보내 벧엘 동쪽, 벤 – 아웬 근처에 있는 아이성을 탐지해 오라고 지시하였다. 그래서 그들은 그 땅을 탐지하고
3 돌아와서 여호수아에게 이렇게 보고하였다. “아이성을 치기 위해 모든 군대가 다 올라갈 필요는 없습니다. 그 곳은 2∼3천 명 정도의 병력이면 충분히 칠 수 있는 조그마한 성이었습니다.”
4 그래서 3,000명 정도의 병력만 보냈으나 그들은 보기 좋게 패하여 아이군 앞에서 도망하였다.
5 아이군이 접전 끝에 36명 정도의 이스라엘군을 죽이고 도주하는 나머지 병력을 성문에서부터 스바림까지 추격하여 비탈길에서 쳤으므로 이스라엘군은 [b]전의를 상실한 채 기진 맥진하여 떨고 있었다.
6 그러자 여호수아는 이스라엘 백성의 지도자들과 함께 옷을 찢고 통곡하며 머리에 티끌을 뒤집어쓰고 해가 저물도록 여호와의 법궤 앞에 엎드려 있다가
7 여호와께 이렇게 부르짖었다. “주 여호와여, 정말 슬픈 일입니다. 어째서 이 백성을 인도하여 요단강을 건너게 하시고 아모리 사람의 손에 넘겨 멸망시키려고 하십니까? 차라리 우리가 요단강 건너편에서 살았더라면 좋을 뻔하였습니다.
8 여호와여, 이스라엘군이 적군에게 패하여 쫓겨왔는데 내가 무슨 말을 할 수 있겠습니까?
9 가나안 사람들과 그 주변 민족들이 이 소식을 듣게 되면 그들이 우리를 포위하여 전멸시킬 것입니다. 주의 크신 이름을 위해 주께서는 어떻게 하시겠습니까?”
10 그때 여호와께서 여호수아에게 말씀하셨다. “일어나라! 어째서 이렇게 엎드려 있느냐?
11 이스라엘이 죄를 짓고 말았다! 그들이 내 명령에 불순종하여 만지지 말라고 지시한 물건을 훔치고서도 그 사실을 속이고 그것을 자기 소유물 가운데 숨겨 두었다.
12 이것이 바로 이스라엘군이 적군에게 패하여 등을 돌리고 달아나게 된 이유이다. 그 결과 너희도 역시 그 저주받은 물건과 같이 되었다. 너희가 가져서는 안 될 그 물건을 너희에게서 제거하지 않는 한 내가 다시는 너희와 함께하지 않을 것이다.
13 너는 일어나 백성들을 성결하게 하고 내일을 위해 준비하라고 지시하여라. 그리고 이스라엘의 하나님 나 여호와가 이렇게 말한다고 그들에게 전하여라. ‘이스라엘아, 너희 가운데 가져서는 안 될 물건을 도둑질한 사람이 있다. 너희가 그 물건을 너희에게서 제거하기 전에는 너희가 적군을 당해 낼 수 없을 것이다.
14 내일 아침 너희는 지파별로 내 앞에 가까이 나오너라. 범인이 속해 있는 지파를 나 여호와가 지적하겠다. 나에게 지적당한 그 지파는 집안별로 가까이 나오너라. 나 여호와가 그 범죄한 집안을 지적하겠다. 나에게 지적당한 집안은 가족별로 나오너라. 그리고 지적당한 가족은 한 사람씩 나와야 한다.
15 너희는 가져서는 안 될 물건을 도둑질한 자로 뽑힌 그 사람과 가족을 화형시키고 그가 가진 모든 물건을 불태워 버려라. 그는 나 여호와와의 계약을 어기고 이스라엘 가운데 재난을 불러일으킨 장본인이다.’ ”
16 다음날 아침 일찍 여호수아는 이스라엘 백성을 각 지파별로 여호와 앞에 가까이 나오게 했는데 그 중에서 유다 지파가 뽑혔다.
17 그리고 유다 지파를 각 집안별로 나오게 했을 때 세라 집안이 뽑혔다. 그 다음에 여호수아가 세라 집안을 각 가족별로 나오게 하자 거기서 삽디의 가족이 뽑혔고
18 마지막으로 삽디의 가족 중에서 남자들을 한 사람씩 나오게 하자 삽디의 손자이며 갈미의 아들인 아간이 범인으로 뽑혔다.
19 그때 여호수아가 아간에게 말하였다. “너는 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께 사실을 말하고 죄를 고백하여라. 네가 한 일을 하나도 숨기지 말고 낱낱이 나에게 말하라.”
20 그러자 아간이 여호수아에게 대답하였다. “내가 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께 범죄한 것이 사실입니다.
21 내가 [c]바빌로니아 제품의 예쁜 외투 한 벌과 [d]약 2.3킬로그램의 은과 [e]570그램의 금덩어리 하나를 보고 탐이 나서 가져왔습니다. 그 물건들은 지금 내 천막 안의 땅 속에 묻혀 있으며 은은 제일 밑에 있습니다.”
22 그래서 여호수아는 몇 사람을 시켜 그 물건들을 찾아오라고 지시하였다. 그들이 천막으로 달려가 보니 그 물건들은 아간이 말한 곳에 그대로 숨겨져 있었고 은은 제일 밑에 있었다.
23 그들은 그 물건을 여호수아와 백성들이 있는 곳으로 가져와 여호와 앞에 쏟아 놓았다.
24 그러자 여호수아와 모든 이스라엘 백성은 아간과 그의 아들딸들을 붙잡고 그 은과 외투와 금덩어리와 그의 모든 가축과 천막, 그리고 그가 소유한 모든 물건을 끌고 [f]아골 골짜기로 올라갔다.
25 여호수아가 아간에게 “네가 어째서 우리를 그처럼 괴롭혔느냐? 이제 여호와께서 너를 괴롭힐 것이다” 하자 이스라엘 백성이 아간과 그 가족과 그 모든 소유물을 돌로 치고 불살라 버렸다.
26 그런 다음 이스라엘 백성은 그 위에 큰 돌무더기를 쌓고 그 곳 이름을 ‘괴로움의 골짜기’ 라 불렀는데 오늘날까지도 그 이름이 그대로 남아 있다. 여호와께서는 그제서야 노여움을 거두셨다.
约书亚记 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
亚干犯罪
7 以色列人在当毁灭之物的事上犯了罪。因为犹大支派中谢拉的曾孙、撒底的孙子、迦米的儿子亚干拿了一些本该毁灭的东西,耶和华便向以色列人发怒。
2 当时,约书亚从耶利哥派人去侦察伯特利东边靠近伯·亚文的艾城。 3 他们侦察回来后对约书亚说:“那里的居民很少,我们不必劳师动众派所有的人上去,只要派两三千人上去便可以攻取艾城。” 4 于是,大约有三千以色列人去攻打艾城,不料却被艾城人击溃。 5 艾城的人杀了他们三十六人,从城门前追杀他们,一直到示巴琳,在下坡处杀败他们。以色列人吓得心惊胆战。
6 约书亚和以色列的长老便撕裂衣服,把灰撒在头上,俯伏在耶和华的约柜面前,直到晚上。 7 约书亚说:“唉!主耶和华啊,你让我们过了约旦河,为什么把我们交在亚摩利人手上,让他们毁灭我们呢?倒不如让我们住在约旦河对岸! 8 主啊,现在以色列人被仇敌打败,我还有什么话可说呢? 9 迦南人和这一带的人听到这消息以后,必从四面八方来围攻我们,将我们从地上斩尽杀绝。那时候,你的威名又何在呢?”
10 耶和华对约书亚说:“起来吧!你为何俯伏在地? 11 以色列人犯了罪,违背了我吩咐他们应守的约,偷拿了本该毁灭的东西放在自己的行囊里,还撒谎。 12 所以,以色列人受咒诅,无法抵挡敌人,掉头败逃。你必须将那些本该毁灭的东西从你们中间除掉,不然我就不再与你们同在。 13 起来吧!去吩咐民众洁净自己,让他们为明天洁净自己,因为以色列的上帝耶和华这样说,‘以色列啊!你们中间有本该毁灭的东西,你们不除掉这些东西就无法抵挡敌人。 14 明天早上,你们要按支派一个一个前来,耶和华指出哪个支派,哪支派的各宗族便要前来。耶和华指出哪个宗族,哪宗族的各家族便要前来。耶和华指出哪个家族,哪家族的各成员便要前来。 15 哪个人被指出拿了本该毁灭的东西,哪个人及其所有的东西就要被火焚烧。因为他违背了耶和华的约,在以色列人中做了可耻的事。’”
16 第二天清早,约书亚按照支派召来以色列人,结果抽中犹大支派; 17 他让犹大支派各宗族前来,结果抽中谢拉宗族;他让谢拉宗族前来,结果抽中撒底家族; 18 他让撒底家族的人一个一个前来,结果抽中迦米的儿子亚干。 19 约书亚对亚干说:“孩子啊,我劝你把荣耀归给以色列的上帝耶和华,向祂认罪,把你所做的事告诉我,不要隐瞒。” 20 亚干答道:“我的确得罪了以色列的上帝耶和华。事情是这样的, 21 在夺得的财物中,我看上了一件漂亮的示拿外衣、两千二百克银子和五百五十克金子,我一时贪心便拿去了,藏在我帐篷的地底下,银子就放在衣服下面。”
22 约书亚派人跑到他的帐篷里,果然在那里找到了那件衣服和衣服下面的银子。 23 他们将这些东西带到约书亚和民众那里,摆在耶和华面前。 24 约书亚和全体以色列人把谢拉家族的亚干、那些银子、衣服和金子及其儿女、牛、驴、羊、帐篷和一切所有都带到亚割谷。 25 约书亚对亚干说:“你为什么给我们惹祸呢?今天耶和华要降祸给你。”于是,以色列人便拿石头打死了他和他一切的人畜,将其烧毁。 26 他们在亚干身上堆起一大堆石头,那些石头今天还在。耶和华这才息怒,因此那地方至今还叫亚割[a]谷。

Joshua 7
New International Version
Achan’s Sin
7 But the Israelites were unfaithful in regard to the devoted things[a];(A) Achan(B) son of Karmi, the son of Zimri,[b] the son of Zerah,(C) of the tribe of Judah,(D) took some of them. So the Lord’s anger burned(E) against Israel.(F)
2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai,(G) which is near Beth Aven(H) to the east of Bethel,(I) and told them, “Go up and spy out(J) the region.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 When they returned to Joshua, they said, “Not all the army will have to go up against Ai. Send two or three thousand men to take it and do not weary the whole army, for only a few people live there.” 4 So about three thousand went up; but they were routed by the men of Ai,(K) 5 who killed about thirty-six(L) of them. They chased the Israelites from the city gate as far as the stone quarries and struck them down on the slopes. At this the hearts of the people melted in fear(M) and became like water.
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes(N) and fell facedown(O) to the ground before the ark of the Lord, remaining there till evening.(P) The elders of Israel(Q) did the same, and sprinkled dust(R) on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord, why(S) did you ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us?(T) If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan! 8 Pardon your servant, Lord. What can I say, now that Israel has been routed by its enemies? 9 The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth.(U) What then will you do for your own great name?(V)”
10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face? 11 Israel has sinned;(W) they have violated my covenant,(X) which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied,(Y) they have put them with their own possessions.(Z) 12 That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies;(AA) they turn their backs(AB) and run(AC) because they have been made liable to destruction.(AD) I will not be with you anymore(AE) unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.
13 “Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, ‘Consecrate yourselves(AF) in preparation for tomorrow; for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: There are devoted things among you, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.
14 “‘In the morning, present(AG) yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe the Lord chooses(AH) shall come forward clan by clan; the clan the Lord chooses shall come forward family by family; and the family the Lord chooses shall come forward man by man. 15 Whoever is caught with the devoted things(AI) shall be destroyed by fire,(AJ) along with all that belongs to him.(AK) He has violated the covenant(AL) of the Lord and has done an outrageous thing in Israel!’”(AM)
16 Early the next morning Joshua had Israel come forward by tribes, and Judah was chosen. 17 The clans of Judah came forward, and the Zerahites were chosen.(AN) He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward by families, and Zimri was chosen. 18 Joshua had his family come forward man by man, and Achan son of Karmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah,(AO) was chosen.(AP)
19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory(AQ) to the Lord, the God of Israel, and honor him. Tell(AR) me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
20 Achan replied, “It is true! I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: 21 When I saw in the plunder(AS) a beautiful robe from Babylonia,[c] two hundred shekels[d] of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels,[e] I coveted(AT) them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath. 23 They took the things from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites and spread them out before the Lord.
24 Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons(AU) and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor.(AV) 25 Joshua said, “Why have you brought this trouble(AW) on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.”
Then all Israel stoned him,(AX) and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them.(AY) 26 Over Achan they heaped(AZ) up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.(BA) Then the Lord turned from his fierce anger.(BB) Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor[f](BC) ever since.

Joshua 7
King James Version
7 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
10 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the Lord shall take shall come by households; and the household which the Lord shall take shall come man by man.
15 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
18 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the Lord.
24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
