< Joshua 7 >

1 But the children of Israel committed a great trespass, and purloined [part] of the accursed thing; and Achar the son of Charmi, the son of Zambri, the son of Zara, of the tribe of Juda, took of the accursed thing; and the Lord was very angry with the children of Israel.
Toda Izraelovi otroci so zagrešili prekršek v prekleti stvari, kajti Ahán, sin Karmíja, sin Zabdíja, sin Zeraha, iz Judovega rodu, je vzel od preklete stvari in Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Izraelove otroke.
2 And Joshua sent men to Gai, which is by Baethel, saying, Spy out Gai: and the men went up and spied Gai.
Józue je poslal može iz Jerihe v Aj, ki je poleg Bet Avena, na vzhodni strani Betela in jim spregovoril, rekoč: »Pojdite gor in poglejte deželo.« Možje so odšli gor in pogledali Aj.
3 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and take the city by siege: carry not up there the whole people, for [the enemy] are few.
Vrnili so se k Józuetu in mu rekli: »Naj ne gre gor vse ljudstvo; temveč naj gre gor okoli dva ali tri tisoč mož in naj udarijo Aj; in ne primoraj vsega ljudstva, da se trudi tja, kajti le malo jih je.«
4 And there went up about three thousand men, and they fled from before the men of Gai.
Tako jih je odšlo tja gor izmed ljudstva okoli tri tisoč mož, in ti so pobegnili pred možmi iz Aja.
5 And the men of Gai killed of them to the number of thirty-six men, and they pursued them from the gate, and destroyed them from the steep hill; and the heart of the people was alarmed and became as water.
Možje iz Aja so jih izmed njih udarili šestintrideset mož, kajti pregnali so jih izpred velikih vrat, celó do Šebaríma in jih udarili pri hitenju dol, zato so se srca ljudstva stopila in postala kakor voda.
6 And Joshua tore his garments; and Joshua fell on the earth on his face before the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they cast dust on their heads.
Józue je pred Gospodovo skrinjo raztrgal svoja oblačila in padel na svoj obraz k zemlji do večera, on in Izraelove starešine in na svoje glave so si posuli prah.
7 And Joshua said, I pray, Lord, therefore has your servant brought this people over Jordan to deliver them to the Amorite to destroy us? would we had remained and settled ourselves beyond Jordan.
Józue je rekel: »Ojoj, oh Gospod Bog, čemu si to ljudstvo sploh privedel čez Jordan, da nas izročiš v roko Amoréjcev, da nas uničijo? Bog daj, da bi bili zadovoljni in prebivali na drugi strani Jordana!
8 And what shall I say since Israel has turned his back before his enemy?
Oh Gospod, kaj naj rečem, ko Izrael obrača svoje hrbte pred svojimi sovražniki!
9 And when the Chananite and all the inhabitants of the land hear it, they shall compass us round and destroy us from off the land: and what will you do [for] your great name?
Kajti Kánaanci in vsi prebivalci dežele bodo slišali o tem in nas bodo obkrožili naokoli in naše ime iztrebili z zemlje in kaj boš storil svojemu velikemu imenu?«
10 And the Lord said to Joshua, Rise up; why have you fallen upon your face?
Gospod je rekel Józuetu: »Dvigni se, zakaj tako ležiš na svojem obrazu?
11 The people has sinned, and transgressed the covenant which I made with them; they have stolen from the cursed thing, and put it into their store.
Izrael je grešil in prav tako so prekršili mojo zavezo, ki sem jim jo zapovedal, kajti vzeli so si celó od preklete stvari in tudi kradli in tudi prikrivali so in to so si postavili celó med svoje stvari.
12 And the children of Israel will not be able to stand before their enemies; they will turn their back before their enemies, for they have become an accursed thing: I will not any longer be with you, unless you remove the cursed thing from yourselves.
Zato Izraelovi otroci niso mogli obstati pred svojimi sovražniki, temveč so obrnili svoje hrbte pred svojimi sovražniki, ker so bili prekleti. Niti jaz ne bom več z vami, razen če ne uničite prekletega izmed vas.
13 Rise, sanctify the people and tell them to sanctify themselves for the morrow: thus says the Lord God of Israel, The accursed thing is amongst you; you shall not be able to stand before your enemies, until you shall have removed the cursed thing from amongst you.
Vstani, posvéti ljudstvo in reci: ›Posvetite se za jutrišnji dan, ‹ kajti tako govori Gospod, Izraelov Bog: ›V vaši sredi je prekleta stvar, oh Izrael. Ne moreš stati pred svojimi sovražniki, dokler izmed sebe ne odstranite preklete stvari.
14 And you shall all be gathered together by your tribes in the morning, and it shall come to pass that the tribe which the Lord shall show, you shall bring by families; and the family which the Lord shall show, you shall bring by households; and the household which the Lord shall show, you shall bring man by man.
Zato boste zjutraj privedeni glede na svoje rodove. In zgodilo se bo, da bo rod, ki ga Gospod vzame, prišel glede na njegove družine, in družina, ki jo bo Gospod vzel, bo prišla po svojih gospodinjstvih, in gospodinjstvo, ki ga bo Gospod vzel, bo prišlo mož za možem.
15 And the man who shall be pointed out, shall be burnt with fire, and all that he has; because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and has wrought wickedness in Israel.
Zgodilo se bo, da kdor je vzet s prekleto stvarjo, bo sežgan z ognjem, on in vse, kar ima, ker je prekršil Gospodovo zavezo in ker je izvršil neumnost v Izraelu.‹«
16 And Joshua rose up early, and brought the people by their tribes; and the tribe of Juda was pointed out.
Tako je Józue zgodaj zjutraj vstal in Izraela privedel po njihovih rodovih in izbran je bil Judov rod.
17 And it was brought by their families, and family of the Zaraites was pointed out.
Privedel je Judovo družino in izbrana je bila Zerahova družina. Privedel je družino Zerahovcev, moškega za moškim in izbran je bil Zabdí.
18 And it was brought man by man, and Achar the son of Zambri the son of Zara was pointed out.
Privedel je njegovo gospodinjstvo, moškega za moškim in izbran je bil Ahán, sin Karmíja, sin Zabdíja, sin Zeraha, iz Judovega rodu.
19 And Joshua said to Achar, Give glory this day to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession; and tell me what you have done, and hide it not from me.
Józue je rekel Ahánu: »Moj sin, izkaži, prosim te, slavo Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu in mu naredi priznanje in povej mi torej, kaj si storil. Tega ne skrivaj pred menoj.«
20 And Achar answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel: thus and thus have I done:
Ahán je odgovoril Józuetu in rekel: »Zares, grešil sem zoper Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga in tako in tako sem storil.
21 I saw in the spoil an embroidered mantle, and two hundred didrachmas of silver, and one golden wedge of fifty didrachmas, and I desired them and took them; and, behold, they are hid in my tent, and the silver is hid under them.
Ko sem med pleni zagledal lepo babilonsko obleko in dvesto šeklov srebra in klin iz zlata, težak petdeset šeklov, potem sem zahlepel [po] njih in jih vzel. Glej, skriti so v zemlji, v sredi mojega šotora in srebro pod tem.«
22 And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent into the camp; and these things were hidden in his tent, and the silver under them.
Tako je Józue poslal poslanca in stekla sta v šotor in glej, to je bilo skrito v njegovem šotoru in srebro pod tem.
23 And they brought them out of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and the elders of Israel, and they laid them before the Lord.
Vzeli so jih iz srede šotora in jih prinesli k Józuetu in k vsem Izraelovim otrokom in jih položili pred Gospoda.
24 And Joshua took Achar the son of Zara, and brought him to the valley of Achor, and his sons, and his daughters, and his calves, and his asses, and all his sheep, and his tent, and all his property, and all the people [were] with him; and he brought them to Emec Achor.
Józue in ves Izrael z njim, je vzel Zerahovega sina Ahána, srebro, obleko, klin iz zlata, njegove sinove, njegove hčere, njegove vole, njegove osle, njegove ovce, njegov šotor in vse, kar je imel in odvedli so jih v dolino Ahór.
25 And Joshua said to Achar, Why have you destroyed us? the Lord destroy you as at this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones.
Józue je rekel: »Zakaj si nas spravil v težave? Gospod te bo ta dan spravil v težave.« In ves Izrael ga je kamnal s kamni in jih sežgal z ognjem, potem ko so jih kamnali s kamni.
26 And they set up over him a great heap of stones; and the Lord ceased from his fierce anger. Therefore he called the place Emecachor until this day.
Nad njim so dvignili velik kup kamenja do tega dne. Tako se je Gospod obrnil od okrutnosti svoje jeze. Zato je bilo ime tega kraja imenovano Dolina Ahór do tega dne.
