Josoa 7
1 Fe nandilatse amo raha navikeo o ana’ Israeleo; amy te nandrambe raha navike t’i Akane, ana’i Karmý, ana’ i Zabdý, ana’i Zerake, fifokoa’ Iehodà; vaho nisolebatse amo ana’ Israeleo ty haviñera’ Iehovà.
But the people of Israel acted unfaithfully regarding the things that were set apart for destruction. Achan son of Karmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some things that were set apart for destruction, and Yahweh's anger burned against the people of Israel.
2 Nañirake ondaty boake Ieriko mb’amy Ày marine i Bete-avene, atiñana’ i Betele mb’eo t’Iehosoa, le hoe ty nanoe’e: Akia, tampono i taney. Aa le nionjoñe mb’eo ondatio nanampoñe i Ày.
Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which was near Beth Aven, east of Bethel. He said to them, “Go up and spy out the land.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 Ie nibalike mb’amy Iehosoa mb’eo le nitalily ty hoe: Ko ampionjoneñe mb’eo iaby ondatio; fe añiraho ondaty telo arivo ndra ro’ arivo hionjoñe mb’eo handafa i Ày; ko votsora’o hifanehake mb’eo i maro iabiy, amy t’ie tsy ampeampe.
When they returned to Joshua, they said to him, “Do not send all the people up to Ai. Send only two or three thousand men to go up and attack Ai. Do not make all the people labor in battle, for they are few in number.”
4 Va’e lahilahy telo-arivo amy màroy ty nionjomb’eo; f’ie nitriban-day añatrefa’ ondati’ i Àio,
So only about three thousand men went up from the army, but these ran away from the men of Ai.
5 naho nañohofa’ ondati’ i Àio loza t’indaty telopolo eneñ’ amby; le hinorida’e boak’amy lalam-beiy pake Sebarime añe, naho linafa’ iareo amy fizotsoañey mb’ eo vaho nalorè aman’ arofo ondatio, nitranake hoe rano.
The men of Ai killed about thirty-six men as they pursued them from the city gate as far as to the stone quarries, and they killed them as they were going down a hill. The hearts of the people melted and became like water.
6 Rinia’ Iehosoa i saro’ey naho nibabok’ an-tane an-dahara’e añatrefa’ i vatam-pañina’ Iehovày ampara’ te haleñe, ie naho o androanavi’ Israeleo songa nampibobò deboke añambone’e.
Then Joshua tore his garments. He and the elders of Israel put dust on their heads and lay facedown on the ground in front of the ark of Yahweh, remaining there until evening.
7 Le hoe t’Iehosoa: Hoke! ry Rañandria Iehovà, aa vaho akore ty nampitsaha’o Iardeney ondaty retoañe hanesea’o am-pità’ o nte-Amoreo, hampihomaha’o anay? Hamake t’ie nilesa naho nitobok’ alafe’ Iardeney añe!
Then Joshua said, “Ah, Yahweh Lord, why have you brought this people across the Jordan at all? To give us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us? If only we made a different decision and we had stayed on the other side of the Jordan!
8 O Rañandria, ino ty ho asako, kanao niambohoa’ Israele o rafelahi’eo!
Lord, what can I say, after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies?
9 Ie mahajanjiñe izay o nte-Kanàneo naho o hene mpimoneñe an-tane atoio, le hiariseho anay, vaho hapitso’ iareo an-tane atoy ty tahina’ay, le hatao’o akore i Tahina’o jabahinakey?
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it. They will surround us and make the people of the earth forget our name. What will you do for your great name?”
10 Le hoe t’Iehovà am’ Iehosoa: Miongaha, ino ty ibaboha’o an-dahara’o?
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you lying there on your face?
11 Toe nanao hakeo t’Israele; nililare’ iareo i fañinako nandiliako am’iareoy; nangalake amo raha navikeo; naho nampikametse naho nañetake vaho napoke amo harao’eo.
Israel has sinned. They have broken my covenant which I commanded them. They have stolen some of the things that were set apart. They have stolen and then also hidden their sin by putting what they have taken among their own belongings.
12 Aa le tsy nahafitroatse añatrefan-drafelahi’e o ana’ Israeleo; niambohoa’ iareo o rafelahi’eo amy t’ie ninjare fokom-patse; tsy hindre ama’ areo iraho naho tsy mongore’ areo hey o nozoñeñe ama’ areoo.
As a result, the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turned their backs from their enemies because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will not be with you any more unless you destroy the things that should have been destroyed, but are still among you.
13 Miongaha, ampiavaho ondatio, ano ty hoe: Miefera ho ami’ty maray; fa hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Aman’ onjitse ty añivo’o ao, ry Israele; tsy mahafijohañe añatrefa’ o rafelahi’oo irehe ampara’ te akareñe ama’ areo hey i natokañey.
Get up! Consecrate the people to me and say to them, 'Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow. For Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “There are things set apart to be destroyed that are still among you, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove from among you all the things that were set apart to be destroyed.”
14 Aa ie maraindray, miheova mb’eo am-pifokoañe; vaho ze fifokoa rambese’ Iehovà ro hañarine an-kasavereña’e; le ty hasavereñañe edrè’ Iehovà ro hañarine mb’eo ki-anjomba’e; le ty anjomba edrè’ Iehovà ro hitotoke ki’ ondaty.
In the morning, you must present yourselves by your tribes. The tribe that Yahweh selects will come near by their clans. The clan that Yahweh selects must come near by each household. The household that Yahweh selects must come near one by one.
15 Ie amy zay, ho forototoeñe añ’afo ao ty nandrambe o raha navikeo rekets’ o fanaña’e iabio; amy te nililare’e ty fañina’ Iehovà, vaho nanao hatsivokarañe e Israele ao.
It will happen that the one who is selected and who has those things that were set apart for destruction, he will be burned, he and all he has, because he has broken the covenant of Yahweh and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.'”
16 Aa le nañaleñàleñe amy maraiñey t’Iehosoa vaho nampitotohe’e t’Israele am-pifokoa’e le nivoa ty fifokoa’ Iehoda.
So, Joshua got up early in the morning and brought Israel near, tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected.
17 Nampitotohe’e ty fifokoa’ Iehoda, le voa ty hasavereña’ i Zerake; nampitotohe’e ty hasavereña’ i Zerake, lahilahy an-dahilahy le voa ty Zabdý.
Joshua brought the clans of Judah near, and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He brought near the clan of the Zerahites person by person, and Zabdi was selected.
18 Nampitotohe’e ki’ ondaty ki’ondaty i anjomba’ey le voa t’i Akane, ana’ i Karmi, ana’ i Zabdy, ana’ i Zerake, fifokoa’ Iehoda.
He brought Zabdi's household near, person by person, and Achan son of Karmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was selected.
19 Aa le hoe t’Iehosoa amy Akane, O anako, ehe toloro engeñe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, vaho andriaño; atalilio ahy henaneo i nanoe’oy; le ko aetake.
Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, tell the truth before Yahweh, the God of Israel, and give your confession to him. Please tell me what you have done. Do not hide it from me.”
20 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Akane am’ Iehosoa: Toe nandilatse am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele iraho vaho zao naho zao ty nanoeko.
Achan answered Joshua, “Truly, I have sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel. This is what I did:
21 Naho nitreako amo fikopahañeo ty sarimbo soa boake Sinare naho ty volafoty sekele roanjato, naho ty tseram-bolamena milanja sekele limampolo, le nihañeko, naho rinambeko; vaho ingo, mikafitse an-tane añivon-kibohoko ao, ambane ao i volafotiy.
When I saw among the plunder a beautiful coat from Babylon, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I desired them and took them. They are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, and the silver is under it.”
22 Aa le nampañitrike irake t’Iehosoa, naho nilay mb’ amy kibohotsey iereo, le ingo t’ie nikafitse an-kiboho’e ao, vaho ambane’e ao i volafotiy.
Joshua sent messengers, who ran to the tent and there were the things. When they looked, they found them hidden in his own tent, and the silver under them.
23 Rinambe’ iereo boak’ an-kibohotse ao izay le nendese’e mb’ amy Iehosoa, naho mb’amo hene ana’ Israeleo mb’eo vaho napo’ iereo añatrefa’ Iehovà.
They took the items from the middle of the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel. They poured them out before Yahweh.
24 Rinambe’ Iehosoa naho Israele iaby t’i Akane ana’ i Zerake naho i volafotiy, i sarimboy naho i tseram-bolamenay naho o ana-dahi’eo, o anak’ ampela’eo naho o añombe’eo naho o borìke’eo naho o añondri’eo naho i kiboho’ey naho ze ama’e iaby; le nampionjone’ iereo mb’ am-bavatane’ Akore mb’eo.
Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, the coat, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up to the Valley of Achor.
25 Le hoe t’Iehosoa: Ino ty nanolora’o sotry anay? Iehovà ty hanolo-sotry ama’o te anito. Aa le nametsaha’ Israele vato, naho namorototo iareo an’ afo vaho nametsa-bato ama’e.
Then Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? Yahweh will trouble you today.” All Israel stoned him with stones. Then they stoned the rest with stones and burned them with fire.
26 Nampitoabora’ iareo votrim-bato jabajaba ty ambone’ iereo, ze mbe eo henaneo, le nitolik’ amy haviñera’ey t’Iehovà. Aa le natao Vavatane’ i Akore ty añara’ i toetsey, pake henane.
They set up over him a great heap of stones that is here until this day. Yahweh turned away his burning anger. Therefore the name of the place is the Valley of Achor until this present day.
