亞干犯罪
7 以色列人在當滅之物上犯了罪。猶大支派中，謝拉的曾孫，撒底的孫子，迦米的兒子亞干取了當滅之物，耶和華的怒氣就向以色列人發作。
2 約書亞從耶利哥派人往伯特利東邊，靠近伯‧亞文[a]的艾城去，對他們說：「你們上去窺探那地。」那些人就上去窺探艾城。 3 他們回到約書亞那裏，對他說：「眾百姓不必都上去，只要二、三千人上去就能攻取艾城；不必勞動眾百姓都上去，因為他們人少。」 4 於是百姓中約有三千人上那裏去，但他們竟在艾城的人面前逃跑。 5 艾城的人擊殺他們約三十六人，從城門前追趕他們，直到示巴琳，在下坡的地方擊敗他們。他們都膽戰心驚，融化如水。
6 約書亞和以色列的長老就撕裂衣服，在耶和華的約櫃前臉伏於地，直到晚上。他們把灰撒在頭上。 7 約書亞說：「唉！主耶和華啊，你為甚麼領這百姓過約旦河，把我們交在亞摩利人手中，使我們滅亡呢？我們不如住在約旦河的那邊！ 8 主啊，求求你，以色列人既在仇敵面前轉身逃跑，我還有甚麼可說的呢？ 9 迦南人和這地所有的居民聽見了就必圍困我們，把我們的名從地上除去。那時，你為你至大的名要怎樣做呢？」
10 耶和華對約書亞說：「起來！你的臉為何這樣俯伏呢？ 11 以色列犯了罪，又違背了我所吩咐他們的約，又取了當滅之物。他們又偷竊，又行詭詐，又把那當滅的物與自己的器皿放在一起。 12 因此，以色列人在仇敵面前站立不住。他們在仇敵面前轉身逃跑，因為他們成了當滅的物。你們若不把當滅的物從你們中間除掉，我就不再與你們同在了。 13 你起來，去叫百姓分別為聖，說：『你們要為了明天使自己分別為聖，因為耶和華—以色列的 神這樣說：以色列啊，在你中間有當滅的物；你們若不把你們中間當滅之物除掉，你在仇敵面前必站立不住！』 14 到了早晨，你們要按着支派近前來。耶和華所選的支派，要按着宗族近前來；耶和華所選的宗族，要按着家族近前來；耶和華所選的家族，要按着男丁，一個一個近前來。 15 被選的人有當滅之物在他那裏，他和他所有的必被火焚燒，因為他違背了耶和華的約，又因他在以色列中做了愚妄的事。」
16 於是，約書亞清早起來，召以色列按着支派近前來。選出來的是猶大支派。 17 他召猶大的宗族近前來，選出來的是謝拉宗族。他召謝拉宗族，按着男丁[b]，一個一個近前來，選出來的是撒底。 18 他召撒底的家族，按着男丁，一個一個近前來，就選出猶大支派，謝拉的曾孫，撒底的孫子，迦米的兒子亞干。 19 約書亞對亞干說：「我兒，我勸你將榮耀歸給耶和華—以色列的 神，在他面前認罪，把你所做的事告訴我，不可向我隱瞞。」 20 亞干回答約書亞說：「我實在得罪了耶和華—以色列的 神。這是我所做的： 21 我在所奪取的財物中看見一件美好的示拿外袍，二百舍客勒銀子，一條重五十舍客勒的金子。我貪愛這些物件，就拿去了。看哪，這些東西都埋在我帳棚內的地裏，銀子在外袍底下。」
22 約書亞就派使者跑到亞干的帳棚裏。看哪，那件外袍藏在他的帳棚裏，銀子在外袍底下。 23 他們從帳棚裏把這些東西取出來，拿到約書亞和以色列眾人[c]那裏，倒在耶和華面前。 24 約書亞和以色列眾人把謝拉的曾孫亞干和那銀子、那件外袍、那條金子，以及亞干的兒女、牛、驢、羊、帳棚，和他所有的，都帶着上到亞割谷[d]去。 25 約書亞說：「你為甚麼給我們招惹災禍呢？今日耶和華必使你遭受災禍。」於是以色列眾人用石頭打死他，用火焚燒他們，把石頭扔在其上。 26 眾人在亞干身上堆了一大堆石頭，直存到今日。於是耶和華轉意，不發他的烈怒。因此，那地方名叫亞割谷，直到今日。

Israel Defeated at Ai
7 But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for (A)Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel.
2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near (B)Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, “Go up and spy out the land.” And the men went up and spied out Ai. 3 And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not have all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not make the whole people toil up there, for they are few.” 4 So about three thousand men went up there from the people. And (C)they fled before the men of Ai, 5 and the men of Ai killed about thirty-six of their men and chased them before the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them at the descent. And the hearts of the people (D)melted and became as water.
6 Then Joshua (E)tore his clothes and (F)fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he and the elders of Israel. And they put (G)dust on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, O Lord God, (H)why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell beyond the Jordan! 8 O Lord, what can I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies! 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it and will surround us and (I)cut off our name from the earth. And what will you do for your great name?”
The Sin of Achan
10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face? 11 Israel has sinned; they have (J)transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the (K)devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. 12 (L)Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They (M)turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become (N)devoted for destruction.[a] I will be with you no more, unless you destroy (O)the devoted things from among you. 13 Get up! Consecrate the people and say, (P)‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the Lord, God of Israel, “There are devoted things in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted things from among you.” 14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought near (Q)by your tribes. And the tribe that the Lord takes by lot shall come near by clans. And the clan that the Lord takes shall come near by households. And the household that the Lord takes shall come near man by man. 15 (R)And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has (S)transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has done (T)an outrageous thing in Israel.’”
16 So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought Israel near tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was taken. 17 And he brought near the clans of Judah, and the clan of the (U)Zerahites was taken. And he brought near the clan of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken. 18 And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, (V)give glory to the Lord God of Israel and (W)give praise[b] to him. And (X)tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.” 20 And Achan answered Joshua, “Truly (Y)I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I did: 21 when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels,[c] then I coveted them and took them. And see, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath. 23 And they took them out of the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel. And they laid them down before the Lord. 24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the cloak and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters and his oxen and donkeys and sheep and his tent and all that he had. And they brought them up to the (Z)Valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, “Why did you (AA)bring trouble on us? The Lord brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel (AB)stoned him with stones. (AC)They burned them with fire and stoned them with stones. 26 And they raised over him (AD)a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Then (AE)the Lord turned from his burning anger. Therefore, to this day the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor.[d]

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.

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 Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, 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.

Akans synd
7 Men Israels barn förgrep sig på det som givits till spillo. Akan, son till Karmi, son till Sabdi, son till Sera av Juda stam, tog av det. Då upptändes Herrens vrede mot Israels barn.
2 Josua sände från Jeriko i väg några män till Ai, som ligger vid Bet-Aven, öster om Betel, och sade till dem: "Gå dit upp och bespeja landet." Männen gav sig i väg och bespejade Ai. 3 När de kom tillbaka till Josua sade de till honom: "Allt folket behöver inte dra upp. Låt tvåtusen eller tretusen gå dit upp och inta Ai. Du behöver inte låta allt folket trötta ut sig med att att gå dit, för de är inte många." 4 Alltså drog tretusen man av folket dit upp. Men de tvingades fly för männen från Ai. 5 Och männen i Ai dödade omkring trettiosex man av dem och förföljde de övriga utanför stadsporten ända till Sebarim och slog dem på sluttningen där. Då smälte folkets hjärta och blev som vatten.
6 Josua rev sönder sina kläder och tillsammans med de äldste i Israel föll han ner på sitt ansikte till marken framför Herrens ark, och de låg där till kvällen. De strödde stoft på sina huvuden, 7 och Josua sade: "O, Herre, Herre, varför har du fört detta folk över Jordan för att överlämna oss i amoreernas hand och förgöra oss? Om vi ändå hade nöjt oss med att stanna på andra sidan Jordan! 8 O, Herre, vad skall jag säga, när Israel har vänt ryggen åt sina fiender? 9 När kananeerna och alla som bor i landet får höra detta, kommer de att omringa oss och utrota vårt namn från jorden. Vad vill du då göra för ditt stora namns skull?"
10 Och Herren svarade Josua: "Res dig upp! Varför har du fallit ner på ditt ansikte? 11 Israel har syndat, de har överträtt mitt förbund som jag ingått med dem. De har tagit av det tillspillogivna, de har stulit, ljugit och lagt det stulna bland sina egna ägodelar. 12 Därför kan inte Israels barn stå emot sina fiender, utan de måste fly för dem, ty de är själva drabbade av tillspillogivning. Jag vill inte mer vara med er, om ni inte skaffar bort från er det tillspillogivna. 13 Stig upp, helga folket och säg: Helga er till i morgon. Ty så säger Herren, Israels Gud: Något tillspillogivet finns hos dig, Israel. Du kan inte stå emot dina fiender, förrän ni avlägsnar det ifrån er. 14 Tidigt i morgon skall ni träda fram, den ena stammen efter den andra. I den stam som Herren pekar ut, skall den ena släkten efter den andra träda fram. I den släkt som Herren pekar ut, skall den ena familjen efter den andra träda fram. I den familj som Herren pekar ut, skall den ene mannen efter den andre träda fram. 15 Den som blir utpekad med det tillspillogivna skall brännas upp i eld med allt vad han har, därför att han har överträtt Herrens förbund och gjort vad som är en dårskap i Israel."
16 Josua lät tidigt följande morgon Israel träda fram, stam efter stam, och Juda stam blev utpekad. 17 När han lät Juda släkter träda fram, pekade han ut seraiternas släkt. När han lät seraiternas släkt träda fram, man efter man, pekade han ut Sabdi. 18 När han lät dennes familj träda fram, man efter man, pekade han ut Akan, son till Karmi, son till Sabdi, son till Sera av Juda stam. 19 Då sade Josua till Akan: "Min son, ge Herren, Israels Gud, ära och bekänn inför honom. Säg mig vad du har gjort och dölj ingenting för mig."
20 Akan svarade Josua: "Det är sant. Jag har syndat mot Herren, Israels Gud. Detta är vad jag har gjort: 21 Jag såg bland bytet en dyrbar mantel från Sinear och tvåhundra siklar silver och en guldplatta som vägde femtio siklar, och jag fick begär till det och tog det. Det är gömt i jorden i mitten av mitt tält med silvret underst."
22 Då skickade Josua några män dit och de skyndade sig till tältet, och se, där låg det stulna med silvret underst. 23 De tog ut det ur tältet och bar det till Josua och alla Israels barn och lade ner det inför Herren. 24 Då tog Josua och hela Israel Akan, Seras son, och silvret och manteln och guldplattan och hans söner och döttrar, hans oxar, åsnor och får och hans tält och allt övrigt som han hade och förde dem upp till Akors dal. 25 Och Josua sade: "Varför drog du fördärv över oss? I dag skall Herren bringa olycka över dig." Sedan stenade hela Israel honom. De brände upp dem och kastade stenar över dem. 26 Över Akan reste de ett stort stenröse, som finns kvar än i dag. Och Herren vände sig ifrån sin glödande vrede. Därför fick den platsen namnet Akors[a] dal, som den fortfarande heter.
