约书亚记 7
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
亚干犯罪
7 以色列人在当灭之物上犯了罪。犹大支派中，谢拉的曾孙，撒底的孙子，迦米的儿子亚干取了当灭之物，耶和华的怒气就向以色列人发作。
2 约书亚从耶利哥派人往伯特利东边，靠近伯‧亚文[a]的艾城去，对他们说：“你们上去窥探那地。”那些人就上去窥探艾城。 3 他们回到约书亚那里，对他说：“众百姓不必都上去，只要二、三千人上去就能攻取艾城；不必劳动众百姓都上去，因为他们人少。” 4 于是百姓中约有三千人上那里去，但他们竟在艾城的人面前逃跑。 5 艾城的人击杀他们约三十六人，从城门前追赶他们，直到示巴琳，在下坡的地方击败他们。他们都胆战心惊，融化如水。
6 约书亚和以色列的长老就撕裂衣服，在耶和华的约柜前脸伏于地，直到晚上。他们把灰撒在头上。 7 约书亚说：“唉！主耶和华啊，你为什么领这百姓过约旦河，把我们交在亚摩利人手中，使我们灭亡呢？我们不如住在约旦河的那边！ 8 主啊，求求你，以色列人既在仇敌面前转身逃跑，我还有什么可说的呢？ 9 迦南人和这地所有的居民听见了就必围困我们，把我们的名从地上除去。那时，你为你至大的名要怎样做呢？”
10 耶和华对约书亚说：“起来！你的脸为何这样俯伏呢？ 11 以色列犯了罪，又违背了我所吩咐他们的约，又取了当灭之物。他们又偷窃，又行诡诈，又把那当灭的物与自己的器皿放在一起。 12 因此，以色列人在仇敌面前站立不住。他们在仇敌面前转身逃跑，因为他们成了当灭的物。你们若不把当灭的物从你们中间除掉，我就不再与你们同在了。 13 你起来，去叫百姓分别为圣，说：‘你们要为了明天使自己分别为圣，因为耶和华—以色列的 神这样说：以色列啊，在你中间有当灭的物；你们若不把你们中间当灭之物除掉，你在仇敌面前必站立不住！’ 14 到了早晨，你们要按着支派近前来。耶和华所选的支派，要按着宗族近前来；耶和华所选的宗族，要按着家族近前来；耶和华所选的家族，要按着男丁，一个一个近前来。 15 被选的人有当灭之物在他那里，他和他所有的必被火焚烧，因为他违背了耶和华的约，又因他在以色列中做了愚妄的事。”
16 于是，约书亚清早起来，召以色列按着支派近前来。选出来的是犹大支派。 17 他召犹大的宗族近前来，选出来的是谢拉宗族。他召谢拉宗族，按着男丁[b]，一个一个近前来，选出来的是撒底。 18 他召撒底的家族，按着男丁，一个一个近前来，就选出犹大支派，谢拉的曾孙，撒底的孙子，迦米的儿子亚干。 19 约书亚对亚干说：“我儿，我劝你将荣耀归给耶和华—以色列的 神，在他面前认罪，把你所做的事告诉我，不可向我隐瞒。” 20 亚干回答约书亚说：“我实在得罪了耶和华—以色列的 神。这是我所做的： 21 我在所夺取的财物中看见一件美好的示拿外袍，二百舍客勒银子，一条重五十舍客勒的金子。我贪爱这些物件，就拿去了。看哪，这些东西都埋在我帐棚内的地里，银子在外袍底下。”
22 约书亚就派使者跑到亚干的帐棚里。看哪，那件外袍藏在他的帐棚里，银子在外袍底下。 23 他们从帐棚里把这些东西取出来，拿到约书亚和以色列众人[c]那里，倒在耶和华面前。 24 约书亚和以色列众人把谢拉的曾孙亚干和那银子、那件外袍、那条金子，以及亚干的儿女、牛、驴、羊、帐棚，和他所有的，都带着上到亚割谷[d]去。 25 约书亚说：“你为什么给我们招惹灾祸呢？今日耶和华必使你遭受灾祸。”于是以色列众人用石头打死他，用火焚烧他们，把石头扔在其上。 26 众人在亚干身上堆了一大堆石头，直存到今日。于是耶和华转意，不发他的烈怒。因此，那地方名叫亚割谷，直到今日。
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
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 But the Israelites committed a trespass in regard to the devoted things; for Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the things devoted [for destruction]. And the anger of the Lord burned against Israel.
2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, Go up and spy out the land. So the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 And they returned to Joshua and said to him, Let not all the men go up; but let about two thousand or three thousand go up and attack Ai; do not make the whole army toil up there, for they of Ai are few.
4 So about three thousand Israelites went up there, but they fled before the men of Ai.
5 And the men of Ai killed about thirty-six of them, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and slew them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted and became as water.
6 Then Joshua rent his clothes and lay on the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
7 Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all only 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, now that Israel has turned to flee before their enemies!
9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it and will surround us and cut off our name from the earth. And what will You do for Your great name?
10 The Lord said to Joshua, Get up! Why do you lie thus upon your face?
11 Israel has sinned; they have transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. They have taken some of the things devoted [for destruction]; they have stolen, and lied, and put them among their own baggage.
12 That is why the Israelites could not stand before their enemies, but fled before them; they are accursed and have become devoted [for destruction]. I will cease to be with you unless you destroy the accursed [devoted] things among you.
13 Up, sanctify (set apart for a holy purpose) the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: There are accursed things in the midst of you, O Israel. You can not stand before your enemies until you take away from among you the things devoted [to destruction].
14 In the morning therefore, you shall present your tribes. And the tribe which the Lord takes shall come by families; and the family which the Lord takes shall come by households; and the household which the Lord takes shall come by persons.
15 And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be [killed and his body] burned with fire, he and all he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord and because he has done a shameful and wicked thing in Israel.(A)
16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
17 He brought near the family of Judah, and the family of the Zerahites was taken; and he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
18 He brought near his household man by man, and Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and make confession to Him. And tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.
20 And Achan answered Joshua, In truth, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and this have I done:
21 When I saw among the spoils an attractive mantle from Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. Behold, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.
22 So Joshua sent messengers, who ran to the tent, and behold, the spoil was hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.
23 And they took them from the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites and laid them out before the Lord.
24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them to the Valley of Achor.
25 And Joshua said, Why have you brought trouble on us? The Lord will trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him and those with him with stones, and afterward burned their bodies with fire.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Then the Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor or Troubling to this day.
