Jozuas 7
1 Bet Israēla bērni noziedzās pie tā izdeldējamā, jo Akans, Karmus dēls, tas bija Zabdus, tas Zerus dēls no Jūda cilts, ņēma no tā izdeldējamā. Tad Tā Kunga bardzība iedegās pret Israēla bērniem.
However, the Israelites had not been faithful regarding those things set apart for the Lord. Achan had taken some of them which made the Lord very angry with the Israelites. Achan was the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah.
2 Kad nu Jozuas izsūtīja vīrus no Jērikus uz Aju pie Bet-Avenas, no Bēteles pret rītiem, un uz tiem runāja sacīdams: noejat un izlūkojiet to zemi,
Joshua sent men from the camp near Jericho to the town of Ai, which is near Bethaven, east of Bethel. “Go and explore the land,” he told them. So they went and explored around Ai.
3 Tad tie vīri nogāja un izlūkoja Aju, un griezās atpakaļ pie Jozuas un uz to sacīja: lai visi ļaudis nenoiet, bet lai kādi divtūkstoš vai trīstūkstoš vīri noiet un Aju kauj, neapgrūtini visus ļaudis, jo viņu tur ir maz.
When they returned they told Joshua, “The whole army isn't needed. Two or three thousand men is enough to go and attack Ai. Don't bother sending everyone—there's only a few of them.”
4 Tad no tiem ļaudīm cēlās uz turieni trīstūkstoš vīri, bet tiem bija jābēg priekš Ajas vīriem.
So around three thousand men went to fight, but they were beaten by the men of Ai and they ran away.
5 Un Ajas vīri apkāva no tiem trīsdesmit un sešus vīrus un dzinās tiem pakaļ no vārtiem līdz Zabarim, un tos sakāva pakalnē. Tad to ļaužu sirds izkusa un palika kā ūdens.
The men of Ai killed about thirty-six of them, chasing the Israelites from the town gate until they were defeated, killing them on their way down. At this the Israelites became afraid, losing all their courage.
6 Un Jozuas saplēsa savas drēbes un metās zemē uz savu vaigu priekš Tā Kunga šķirsta līdz pat vakaram, viņš un Israēla vecaji, un tie kaisīja pīšļus uz savām galvām.
Joshua ripped his clothes and fell down with his face to the ground in front of the Ark of the Lord until the evening. The elders did likewise, and he and the elders threw dust on their heads.
7 Un Jozuas sacīja: ak Kungs, Dievs! Kāpēc tu šiem ļaudīm esi licis iet caur Jardāni, mūs dodams Amoriešu rokās, ka tie mūs izdeldē? Ak, kaut mēs mierā būtu palikuši viņpus Jardānes.
Joshua cried, “Why, oh why, Lord God, did you bring us across the Jordan River only to hand us over to the Amorites for them to destroy us? We should have been satisfied to stay on the other side of the Jordan!
8 Ak Kungs, ko lai saku, kad nu Israēls muguru griež saviem ienaidniekiem?
Excuse me, Lord, but what can I say now that Israel has turned tail and run away from its enemies?
9 Kad Kanaānieši un visi zemes iedzīvotāji to dzirdēs, tad tie mūs apstās visapkārt un izdeldēs mūsu vārdu no zemes. Ko tad Tu darīsi Sava lielā Vārda dēļ?
The Canaanites and everyone living in the land will come and surround us and wipe us out so completely that even our name will be forgotten. Then what will happen to your great reputation?”
10 Tad Tas Kungs sacīja uz Jozua: celies, kāpēc tu tā guli uz sava vaiga?
But the Lord replied to Joshua, “Stand up! What do you think you're doing lying on your face like that?
11 Israēls ir apgrēkojies un arī pārkāpis Manu derību, ko Es tiem esmu pavēlējis; tie ir arī ņēmuši no tā izdeldējamā un ir zaguši un slēpuši un to ir likuši pie savas mantas.
Israel has sinned and has broken my agreement that I ordered them to keep. They have taken some of the things set apart for me; they have acted dishonestly; they have hidden the stolen items with their own belongings.
12 Tāpēc Israēla bērni nevar pastāvēt priekš saviem ienaidniekiem, tiem bēdzin jābēg no saviem ienaidniekiem, jo tie ir izdeldējami. Es nebūšu vairs ar jums, ja jūs to, kas izdeldējams, no sava vidus neizdeldēsiet.
That's why the Israelites can't stand up to their enemies. That's why they turn and run from their enemies, and have themselves become set apart for destruction. You will not be able to stand against your enemies until you have removed from among you those things set apart for destruction.
13 Celies, svētī tos ļaudis un saki: svētījaties uz rītdienu, jo tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: izdeldējama lieta ir tavā vidū, Israēl; tu nevari pastāvēt priekš saviem ienaidniekiem, tiekams tu nebūsi izdeldējis no sava vidus to izdeldējamo.
Get up, and make sure the people are pure. Tell them, ‘Make yourselves pure in readiness for tomorrow, because this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says, There are things set apart for me that are hidden among you, Israel. You will not be able to stand against your enemies until you remove all of them.
14 Rītā agri nākat priekšā pēc savām ciltīm, un tā cilts, ko Tas Kungs uzrādīs, lai nāk priekšā pēc saviem radiem, un tas rads, ko Tas Kungs uzrādīs, lai nāk priekšā pēc savām saimēm, un tā saime, ko Tas Kungs uzrādīs, lai nāk priekšā pēc saviem vīriem.
In the morning, you will come forward, tribe by tribe. Whichever tribe the Lord chooses will come forward clan by clan. The clan that the Lord chooses will come forward family by family. The family that the Lord chooses will come forward man by man.
15 Un kas taps atrasts ar to izdeldējamo, to būs sadedzināt ar uguni, līdz ar visu, kas tam pieder, tāpēc ka viņš pārkāpis Tā Kunga derību, un tāpēc ka viņš kauna lietu darījis iekš Israēla.
The one who is caught with what was set apart for destruction will be burned by fire, along with all that is his, for he broke the Lord's agreement and committed a terrible act in Israel.’”
16 Tad Jozuas cēlās no rīta agri un veda priekšā Israēli pēc viņu ciltīm, - tad Jūda cilts tapa uzrādīta.
Joshua got up early the next morning and called Israel forward, tribe by tribe.
17 Un kad viņš Jūda cilti veda priekšā, tad tapa uzrādīts Zeraiešu rads, un kad Zeraiešu radu veda priekšā pēc tiem saimniekiem, tad Zabdus tapa uzrādīts.
The tribe of Judah was chosen. The clans of Judah came forward and the Zerahites were chosen. The clan of Zerahites came forward, and the family of Zabdi was chosen.
18 Kad šo saimi veda priekšā pēc tiem vīriem, tad Akans tapa uzrādīts, Karmus dēls, tas bija Zabdus, tas Zerus dēls no Jūda cilts.
The family of Zabdi came forward, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was chosen.
19 Tad Jozuas sacīja uz Akanu: mans dēls, dod jel Tam Kungam, Israēla Dievam, godu un dod Viņam slavu un stāsti man jel, ko tu esi darījis, un neslēpi to man.
Joshua said to Achan, “My son, honor the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess. Tell me what you have done. Don't hide it from me.”
20 Tad Akans atbildēja Jozuam un sacīja: tiešām, es esmu apgrēkojies pret To Kungu, Israēla Dievu, un esmu tā un tā darījis.
“It's true!” Achan replied. “I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I did.
21 Jo es ieraudzīju pie laupījuma vienu skaistu Babiloniešu mēteli un divsimt sudraba sēķeļus un vienu zelta sprādzi, tā svēra piecdesmit sēķeļus, un es tās lietas iekāroju un tās ņēmu, un redzi, tās manā teltī ir paslēptas zemē un tas sudrabs tur apakšā.
Among the plunder I saw a beautiful cloak from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels. I really wanted them, so I took them. They're hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver buried deeper.”
22 Tad Jozuas sūtīja vīrus un tie skrēja uz to telti, un redzi, tas bija apslēpts viņa teltī, un tas sudrabs tur apakšā.
Joshua sent men who ran over to search the tent. They found what had been hidden, with the silver buried deeper.
23 Un tie to izņēma no tās telts un atnesa pie Jozuas un pie visiem Israēla bērniem un to izbēra Tā Kunga priekšā.
The men took the things from the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites. There they spread them out before the Lord.
24 Tad Jozuas un viss Israēls līdz ar viņu ņēma Akanu, Zerus dēlu, un to sudrabu un to mēteli un to zelta sprādzi un viņa dēlus un viņa meitas un viņa vēršus un viņa ēzeļus un viņa sīkos lopus un viņa telti un visu, kas tam bija, un tos veda uz Ahora ieleju.
Then Joshua, with all the Israelites, took Achan, the son of Zerah, the silver, the cloak, and the bar of gold, together with his sons and daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, and his tent—everything he had—and brought them to the Valley of Achor.
25 Un Jozuas sacīja: kā tu mūs esi apbēdinājis, tā tev Tas Kungs šodien apbēdinās; un viss Israēls to akmeņiem nomētāja un tos sadedzināja ar uguni un uzkrāva pār tiem akmeņus.
Then Joshua said to Achan, “Why did you bring so much trouble down on us? Today the Lord will bring trouble down on you.” All the Israelites stoned Achan. Then when they had stoned the rest they burned their bodies.
26 Un tie uzcēla pār tiem lielu akmeņu kopu, kas stāv līdz šai dienai. Tā Tas Kungs atgriezās no Savas bardzības karstuma; tādēļ tās vietas vārds top nosaukts Ahora ieleja līdz šai pašai dienai.
They set up a great pile of stones over him which remains to this day. The Lord was no longer angry. This is why the place was called the Valley of Achor ever since.
