Abayisirayiri balinnyibwa ku nfeete mu kibuga Ayi

(A)Abayisirayiri ne basobya bwe baatwala ku bintu ebyali ebiwonge; Akani mutabani wa Kaluni muzzukulu wa Zabudi era muzzukulu wa Zeera ow’omu kika kya Yuda, ne yeetwalira ebimu ku bintu ebyo: bw’atyo Mukama n’asunguwalira nnyo eggwanga lya Isirayiri.

(B)Yoswa n’asindika abasajja okuva e Yeriko bagende mu kitundu kye Ayi okuliraana Besaveni ebuvanjuba wa Beseri, n’abakuutira nti, “Mugende mukette ensi eyo.” Nabo ne bagenda ne baketta Ayi.

Ne bakomawo ne bategeeza Yoswa nti, “Tosindika bantu bangi kulumba Ayi wabula weerezaayo abantu nga enkumi bbiri oba ssatu be baba balumba. Toweerezaayo bantu bonna kubanga ab’omu Ayi si bangi.” (C)Abayisirayiri ng’enkumi ssatu ne boolekera Ayi, kyokka abasajja be Ayi ne babafubutula emisinde (D)okubaggya ku wankaaki w’ekibuga okubatuusiza ddala emitala wa Sebalimu era Abayisirayiri ng’amakumi asatu mu mukaaga ne battibwa. Entiisa ne buutikira Abayisirayiri; emitima ne gibayenjebuka.

(E)Yoswa n’abakulembeze b’Abayisirayiri ne bayuza ebyambalo byabwe ne beesiiga enfuufu mu mitwe gyabwe era ne beeyala ku ttaka mu maaso g’Essanduuko ya Mukama okuzibya obudde. (F)Yoswa n’agamba nti, “Mukama Katonda nga kitalo kino! Wasomosezaaki Abayisirayiri omugga Yoludaani ate n’obaleka bazikirizibwe Abamoli? Bwe twali tukyali emitala wa Yoludaani tetwaliko kabi n’akatono! Ayi Mukama, Isirayiri adduse abalabe baabwe, nze nnaayogera ki kaakano! (G)Abakanani n’abali mu kitundu ekyo kyonna bwe banaakiwulira bajja kutwebungulula batusaanyeewo. Olwo erinnya lyo ekkulu bwe lityo liriba terikyavuga.”

10 Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Golokoka. Kiki ekikuvuunamizza ku ttaka? 11 (H)Isirayiri eyonoonye kubanga bavudde ku ndagaano gye nabakuutira, ne batwala ku bintu ebiwonge, ne babitabika mu byabwe ate ne balimba. 12 (I)Ka mbabuulire, okuggyako nga muzikiriza omubi ali mu mmwe, Abayisirayiri tebayinza kwolekera balabe baabwe, babadduka buddusi, kubanga nsazeewo bazikirizibwe.

13 (J)“Golokoka otukuze abantu era obategeeze beetukuze nga beetegekera olw’enkya bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri. Waliwo ebikwekeddwa mu mmwe; okuggyako nga mubikwekula temuyinza kuwangula balabe bammwe.

14 (K)“ ‘Enkya mujjire mu bika byammwe, buli kika Mukama ky’anaalondamu kinaasembera luggya ku luggya, n’oluggya Mukama lw’anaalondamu lunajja nju ku nju, era enju Mukama gy’anaalondamu enejja muntu ku muntu. 15 (L)Naye oyo anaasangibwa n’ebintu ebiwonge anaayokebwa mu muliro ye n’ebyo byonna by’alina, kubanga amenye endagaano ya Mukama n’avumaganya Isirayiri.’ ”

Akani Akubwa Amayinja

16 Yoswa yakeera nnyo n’akuŋŋaanya ebika byonna, yasookera ku kika kya Yuda era n’asembeza enju ya Yuda: 17 (M)n’alondamu abo abazaalibwa Zeera, ate mu nju ya Zeera n’alondamu Zabudi n’ennyumba ye: 18 ate mu bo n’alondamu Akani omwana wa Kalumi, muzzukulu wa Zabudi, muzzukulu wa Zeera ow’omu kika kya Yuda.

19 (N)Yoswa n’agamba Akani nti, “Mwana wange njagala oweese Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ekitiibwa era omugulumizise, ombuulire ky’okoze, tonkisa.”

20 Akani n’addamu nti, “Mazima nayonoona eri Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri era kino kye nakola. 21 (O)Bwe nalaba nga mu munyago mulimu ekyambalo ekirungi ekyava e Sinaali[a] n’ensimbi, n’effeeza ne zaabu ne mbyegomba, bwe ntyo ne mbitwala ne mbisimira mu ttaka mu weema yange.”

22 Yoswa n’atuma ababaka mu weema ya Akani era ne babisangayo ng’abisimidde mu ttaka. 23 Ne babifulumya ne babireeta eri Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna, ne babissa mu maaso ga Mukama.

24 (P)Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bakwata Akani muzzukulu wa Zeera ne bye yanyaga: effeeza, ne zaabu, n’ekyambalo. Ne bamutwala ne batabani be, ne bawala be, n’ente ze n’endogoyi ze, n’endiga ze, n’eweema ye ne byonna bye yalina ne babiserengesa mu kiwonvu Akoli. 25 (Q)Yoswa n’abuuza Akani nti, “Lwaki watuleetera ensasagge eno? Nga bwe wakola bw’otyo olwa leero naawe onookiraba Mukama ky’anaakukola.”

Abayisirayiri bonna ne bayiikira Akani, n’abaana be n’ebintu bye ne babakuba amayinja ne babatta era ne babakumako omuliro. 26 (R)Ne balyoka babatuumako amayinja, n’okutuusa kaakano entuumu y’amayinja eyo gagadde ekyaliwo. Mukama n’alekera awo okukambuwalira Abayisirayiri, ekiwonvu mwe babattira kyekyava kiyitibwa Akoli n’okutuusa kaakano.

  1. 7:21 Sinaali Mu Lwebbulaniya, Sinaali kyekimu ne Babulooni.

Achan’s Sin

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)

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.

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.” So about three thousand went up; but they were routed by the men of Ai,(K) 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.

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. 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! Pardon your servant, Lord. What can I say, now that Israel has been routed by its enemies? 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.

Defeat at Ai

But the children of Israel [a]committed a (A)trespass regarding the (B)accursed[b] things, for (C)Achan the son of Carmi, the son of [c]Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things; so the anger of the Lord burned against the children of Israel.

Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the country.” So the men went up and spied out Ai. And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few.” So about three thousand men went up there from the people, (D)but they fled before the men of Ai. And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent; therefore (E)the[d] hearts of the people melted and became like water.

Then Joshua (F)tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they (G)put dust on their heads. And Joshua said, “Alas, Lord [e]God, (H)why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all—to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan! O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turns its [f]back before its enemies? For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear it, and surround us, and (I)cut off our name from the earth. Then (J)what will You do for Your great name?”

The Sin of Achan

10 So the Lord said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face? 11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. (K)For they have even taken some of the [g]accursed things, and have both stolen and (L)deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff. 12 (M)Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because (N)they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you. 13 Get up, (O)sanctify[h] the people, and say, (P)‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the Lord God of Israel: “There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.” 14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which (Q)the Lord takes shall come according to families; and the family which the Lord takes shall come by households; and the household which the Lord takes shall come man by man. 15 (R)Then it shall be that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has (S)transgressed[i] the covenant of the Lord, and because he (T)has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’ ”

16 So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken. 17 He brought the clan 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 Then 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, (U)was taken.

19 Now Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I beg you, (V)give glory to the Lord God of Israel, (W)and make confession to Him, and (X)tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.”

20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, “Indeed (Y)I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I have done: 21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I [j]coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.”

22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver under it. 23 And they took them from the midst of the tent, brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the Lord. 24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and (Z)all that he had, and they brought them to (AA)the Valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, (AB)“Why have you troubled us? The Lord will trouble you this day.” (AC)So all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.

26 Then they (AD)raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So (AE)the Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called (AF)the Valley of [k]Achor to this day.

(A)Но синовете Израилеви сториха (голямо) престъпление и взеха от заклетото. Ахан, син на Хармия, син на Завдия, Заров син, от Иудино коляно, взе от заклетото, и гневът Господен се разпали против синовете Израилеви.

(B)От Иерихон Иисус изпрати люде в Гай, що е близо до Бет-Авен, на изток от Ветил, и им каза: идете, обгледайте земята. Те отидоха и обгледаха Гай.

И като се върнаха при Иисуса, казаха му: нека не отива целият народ, а да отидат до две или три хиляди души, и ще разбият Гай; не измъчвай целия народ нататък, понеже са малко (там).

И тъй, отидоха там от народа до три хиляди души, но те удариха на бяг пред гайските жители;

(C)гайските жители убиха от тях до трийсет и шест души, преследваха ги от портите до Севарим и ги разбиха при спусъка на планината; от това нещо сърцето на народа се разтопи и стана като вода.

(D)Иисус раздра дрехите си и падна ничком наземи пред ковчега Господен и лежа дори до вечерта, той и старейшините Израилеви, и посипаха с пепел главите си.

И каза Иисус: о, Господи, Владико! защо преведе тоя народ през Иордан, за да ни предадеш в ръцете на аморейци и да ни погубиш? О, да бяхме си останали и живели отвъд Иордан!

О, Господи, какво да кажа, след като Израил обърна гръб пред враговете си?

(E)Хананейци и всички жители на страната ще чуят, ще ни заобиколят и ще изтребят името ни от земята. И какво ще сториш тогава за великото Си име?

10 Господ отговори на Иисуса: стани, защо си паднал ничком?

11 Израил съгреши, те престъпиха завета Ми, който им бях завещал; взеха от зак летото, отк раднаха, потулиха и туриха между нещата си;

12 затова синовете Израилеви не можаха да устоят пред враговете си и им обърнаха гръб, понеже те подпаднаха под зак лятие; няма да бъда вече с вас, ак о не отмахнете изсред вас зак летото.

13 (F)Стани, очисти народа и кажи: очистете се за утре, понеже тъй казва Господ, Бог Израилев: „заклетото е всред тебе, Израилю; затова ти не ще можеш да устоиш пред враговете си, докле не отмахнеш от себе си заклетото“.

14 (G)Минувайте утре (всички) според колената си; коляното пък, което Господ посочи, нека мине по родове; родът, който Господ посочи, нека мине по челяди; челядта, която посочи Господ, нека мине човек по човек;

15 (H)който се улови, че е отк раднал от зак летото, нек а с огън изгорят него и всичко негово, задето е престъпил завета Господен и е извършил беззак оние сред Израиля.

16 (I)Като стана сутринта рано, Иисус заповяда на Израиля да мине според колената си, и посочено бе Иудиното коляно;

17 после заповяда да минат родовете на Иуда, и посочен бе родът на Зара; заповяда на рода Заров да мине по челяди, и посочена бе челядта Завдиева;

18 заповяда на челядта му да мине човек по човек, и посочен бе Ахан, син на Хармия, син на Завдия, Заров син, от Иудино коляно.

19 (J)Тогава Иисус каза на Ахана: синко! въздай слава на Господа, Бога Израилев, изповядай пред Него и ми обади, що си сторил: не крий от мене.

20 Ахан отговори на Иисуса и каза: истина, аз съгреших пред Господа, Бога Израилев, и направих туй и туй:

21 между плячката видях една хубава сенаарска дреха, двеста сикли сребро и един къс злато, тежък петдесет сикли; това ми се понрави, и аз го взех; и ето, то е скрито в земята сред шатрата ми и среброто е под него (скрито).

22 Иисус изпрати човеци, и те се затекоха в шатрата (в стана); и ето, всичко това бе скрито в шатрата му, и среброто под него.

23 Те взеха това от шатрата, донесоха го при Иисуса и при всички синове Израилеви и туриха пред Господа.

24 (K)Иисус и всички израилтяни с него взеха Заровия син Ахана, среброто, дрехата, и къса злато, синовете му и дъщерите му, воловете му и ослите му, овците му и шатрата му, и всичко негово, и ги отведоха (с всичко) в долина Ахор.

25 (L)И каза Иисус: задето навлече върху нас бедствие, Господ напраща върху тебе бедствие в тоя ден. И всички израилтяни го убиха с камъни, изгориха него и нещата с огън, и нахвърлиха върху тях камъни.

26 (M)И нахвърлиха върху него голяма грамада камъни, която е оцеляла и до днес. След това утихна яростта на гнева Господен. Поради туй онова място се нарича дори до днес „долина Ахор“.
