Yosua 7
1 Tetapi orang Israel berubah setia dengan mengambil barang-barang yang dikhususkan itu, karena Akhan bin Karmi bin Zabdi bin Zerah, dari suku Yehuda, mengambil sesuatu dari barang-barang yang dikhususkan itu. Lalu bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap orang Israel.
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 Yosua menyuruh orang dari Yerikho ke Ai, yang letaknya dekat Bet-Awen, di sebelah timur Betel, dan berkata kepada mereka, demikian: "Pergilah ke sana dan intailah negeri itu." Maka pergilah orang-orang itu ke sana dan mengintai kota Ai.
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 Kemudian kembalilah mereka kepada Yosua dan berkata kepadanya: "Tidak usah seluruh bangsa itu pergi, biarlah hanya kira-kira dua atau tiga ribu orang pergi untuk menggempur Ai itu; janganlah kaususahkan seluruh bangsa itu dengan berjalan ke sana, sebab orang-orang di sana sedikit saja."
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 Maka berangkatlah kira-kira tiga ribu orang dari bangsa itu ke sana; tetapi mereka melarikan diri di depan orang-orang Ai.
So only about three thousand men went up from the army, but these ran away from the men of Ai.
5 Sebab orang-orang Ai menewaskan kira-kira tiga puluh enam orang dari mereka; orang-orang Israel itu dikejar dari depan pintu gerbang kota itu sampai ke Syebarim dan dipukul kalah di lereng. Lalu tawarlah hati bangsa itu amat sangat.
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 Yosuapun mengoyakkan jubahnya dan sujudlah ia dengan mukanya sampai ke tanah di depan tabut TUHAN hingga petang, bersama dengan para tua-tua orang Israel, sambil menaburkan debu di atas kepalanya.
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 Dan berkatalah Yosua: "Ah, Tuhanku ALLAH, mengapa Engkau menyuruh bangsa ini menyeberangi sungai Yordan? supaya kami diserahkan kepada orang Amori untuk dibinasakan? Lebih baik kalau kami putuskan tadinya untuk tinggal di seberang sungai Yordan itu!
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 Tuhan, apakah yang akan kukatakan, setelah orang Israel lari membelakangi musuhnya?
Lord, what can I say, after Israel has turned their backs before their enemies?
9 Apabila hal itu terdengar oleh orang Kanaan dan seluruh penduduk negeri ini, maka mereka akan mengepung kami dan melenyapkan nama kami dari bumi ini. Dan apakah yang akan Kaulakukan untuk memulihkan nama-Mu yang besar itu?"
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 Lalu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yosua: "Bangunlah! Mengapa engkau sujud demikian?
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you lying there on your face?
11 Orang Israel telah berbuat dosa, mereka melanggar perjanjian-Ku yang Kuperintahkan kepada mereka, mereka mengambil sesuatu dari barang-barang yang dikhususkan itu, mereka mencurinya, mereka menyembunyikannya dan mereka menaruhnya di antara barang-barangnya.
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 Sebab itu orang Israel tidak dapat bertahan menghadapi musuhnya. Mereka membelakangi musuhnya, sebab mereka itupun dikhususkan untuk ditumpas. Aku tidak akan menyertai kamu lagi jika barang-barang yang dikhususkan itu tidak kamu punahkan dari tengah-tengahmu.
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 Bangunlah, kuduskanlah bangsa itu dan katakan: Kuduskanlah dirimu untuk esok hari, sebab, demikianlah firman TUHAN, Allah Israel: Hai, orang Israel ada barang-barang yang dikhususkan di tengah-tengahmu; kamu tidak akan dapat bertahan menghadapi musuhmu, sebelum barang-barang yang dikhususkan itu kamu jauhkan dari tengah-tengah kamu.
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 Besok pagi kamu harus tampil ke muka suku demi suku dan suku yang ditunjuk oleh TUHAN harus tampil ke muka kaum demi kaum, dan kaum yang ditunjuk oleh TUHAN harus tampil ke muka keluarga demi keluarga dan keluarga yang ditunjuk oleh TUHAN harus tampil ke muka seorang demi seorang.
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 Dan siapa yang didapati menyimpan barang-barang yang dikhususkan itu, akan dibakar dengan api, ia dan segala sesuatu yang ada padanya, sebab ia telah melanggar perjanjian TUHAN dan berbuat noda di antara orang Israel."
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 Keesokan harinya bangunlah Yosua pagi-pagi, lalu menyuruh orang Israel tampil ke muka suku demi suku, maka didapatilah suku Yehuda.
So, Joshua got up early in the morning and brought Israel near, tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected.
17 Ketika disuruhnya tampil ke muka kaum-kaum Yehuda, maka didapatinya kaum Zerah. Ketika disuruhnya tampil ke muka kaum Zerah, seorang demi seorang, maka didapatilah Zabdi.
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 Ketika disuruhnya keluarga orang itu tampil ke muka, seorang demi seorang, maka didapatilah Akhan bin Karmi bin Zabdi bin Zerah, dari suku Yehuda.
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 Berkatalah Yosua kepada Akhan: "Anakku, hormatilah TUHAN, Allah Israel, dan mengakulah di hadapan-Nya; katakanlah kepadaku apa yang kauperbuat, jangan sembunyikan kepadaku."
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 Lalu Akhan menjawab Yosua, katanya: "Benar, akulah yang berbuat dosa terhadap TUHAN, Allah Israel, sebab beginilah perbuatanku:
Achan answered Joshua, “Truly, I have sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel. This is what I did:
21 aku melihat di antara barang-barang jarahan itu jubah yang indah, buatan Sinear, dan dua ratus syikal perak dan sebatang emas yang lima puluh syikal beratnya; aku mengingininya, maka kuambil; semuanya itu disembunyikan di dalam kemahku dalam tanah, dan perak itu di bawah sekali."
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 Lalu Yosua menyuruh orang segera pergi ke kemah itu, dan sesungguhnya, semuanya itu disembunyikan dalam kemah Akhan, dan perak itu ada di bawah sekali.
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 Maka mereka mengambil semuanya itu dari dalam kemah, lalu membawanya kepada Yosua dan kepada semua orang Israel, dan mencurahkannya di hadapan TUHAN.
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 Kemudian Yosua, beserta seluruh Israel mengambil Akhan bin Zerah, dan perak, jubah dan emas sebatang itu, anak-anaknya yang laki-laki dan perempuan, lembunya, keledainya dan kambing dombanya, kemahnya dan segala kepunyaannya, lalu semuanya itu dibawa ke lembah Akhor.
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 Berkatalah Yosua: "Seperti engkau mencelakakan kami, maka TUHAN pun mencelakakan engkau pada hari ini." Lalu seluruh Israel melontari dia dengan batu, semuanya itu dibakar dengan api dan dilempari dengan batu.
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 Sesudah itu didirikanlah di atasnya suatu timbunan batu yang besar, yang masih ada sampai sekarang. Lalu surutlah murka TUHAN yang bernyala-nyala itu. Oleh sebab itu nama tempat itu sampai sekarang disebutkan lembah Akhor.
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.
