¹亚干犯罪

¹And the sons of Israel commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, taketh of the devoted thing, and the anger of Jehovah burneth against the sons of Israel.

²以色列人战败那时，约书亚从耶利哥派人到伯特利东边，靠近伯．亚文的艾城去，吩咐他们说：“你们上去窥探那地。”那些人就上去，窥探艾城。

²And Joshua sendeth men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] near Beth-Aven, on the east of Bethel, and speaketh unto them, saying, `Go up and spy the land;` and the men go up and spy Ai,

³他们回来，对约书亚说：“不需要全体人民都上去；只要大约二三千人就可以上去攻打艾城了；不必劳动全体人民都上那里去，因为那里的人很少。”

³and they turn back unto Joshua, and say unto him, `Let not all the people go up; let about two thousand men, or about three thousand men, go up, and they smite Ai; cause not all the people to labour thither; for they [are] few.`

⁴于是人民中约有三千人上那里去，但他们竟在艾城的人面前逃跑了。

⁴And there go up of the people thither about three thousand men, and they flee before the men of Ai,

⁵艾城的人击杀了他们约三十六人；从城门前追赶他们，一直追到示巴琳；在山坡上把他们击溃；人民的心就极其惊怕。

⁵and the men of Ai smite of them about thirty and six men, and pursue them before the gate unto Shebarim, and they smite them in Morad; and the heart of the people is melted, and becometh water.

⁶约书亚和众长老的求问约书亚就撕裂自己的衣服，和以色列人的长老，在耶和华的约柜前，一同俯伏在地，直到晚上，也把尘土撒在头上。

⁶And Joshua rendeth his garments, and falleth on his face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah till the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they cause dust to go up on their head.

⁷约书亚说：“唉！主耶和华啊，你为什么领这人民过约旦河，为要把我们交在亚摩利人的手中，使我们灭亡呢？我们宁愿住在约旦河那边倒好。

⁷And Joshua saith, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, why hast Thou at all caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to give us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? — and oh that we had been willing — and we dwell beyond the Jordan!

⁸主啊！以色列人既然在仇敌面前转身逃跑，我还有什么可说的呢？

⁸Oh, Lord, what do I say, after that Israel hath turned the neck before its enemies?

⁹迦南人和这地所有的居民听见了，就必围困我们，把我们的名字从这世上剪除，那时你为你的大名要怎样行呢？”

⁹and the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land do hear, and have come round against us, and cut off our name out of the earth; and what dost Thou do for Thy great name?`

¹⁰耶和华的回答耶和华对约书亚说：“你起来，为什么这样脸伏在地呢？

¹⁰And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Rise for thee, why [is] this? — thou [art] falling on thy face?

¹¹以色列人犯了罪，违背了我吩咐他们的约定，因为他们取了那当毁灭的物，他们偷窃，并且说谎，又把那当毁灭的物放在自己的物件中。

¹¹Israel hath sinned, and also they have transgressed My covenant which I commanded them, and also taken of the devoted thing, and also stolen, and also deceived, and also put [it] among their vessels,

¹²所以，以色列人在他们的仇敌面前站立不住，在他们的仇敌面前转身逃跑，因为他们成了当毁灭的。如果你们不把那当毁灭的物从你们中间除掉，我就必不再与你们同在了。

¹²and the sons of Israel have not been able to stand before their enemies; the neck they turn before their enemies, for they have become a devoted thing; I add not to be with you — if ye destroy not the devoted thing out of your midst.

¹³你起来，要人民自洁，对他们说：‘你们要自洁，预备明天；因为耶和华以色列的　神这样说：以色列啊！你们中间有那当毁灭的物；除非你们把那当毁灭的物从你们中间除去，你们在仇敌的面前就不能站立得住。

¹³`Rise, sanctify the people, and thou hast said, Sanctify yourselves for to-morrow; for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, A devoted thing [is] in thy midst, O Israel, thou art not able to stand before thine enemies till your turning aside of the devoted thing out of your midst;

¹⁴到了早晨，你们要按着支派前来，耶和华抽签抽中的支派，要按着宗族前来；耶和华抽签抽中的宗族，要按着家庭前来；耶和华抽签抽中的家庭，男丁要一个一个前来。

¹⁴and ye have been brought near in the morning by your tribes, and it hath been, the tribe which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by families, and the family which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by households, and the household which Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by men;

¹⁵如果那藏有当毁灭的物的人被抽签抽中了，他和他所有的一切都要用火焚烧；因为他违背了耶和华的约，又因为他在以色列中作了愚昧的事。’”

¹⁵and it hath been, he who is captured with the devoted thing is burnt with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath done folly in Israel.`

¹⁶抽签抽中亚干约书亚清早起来，要以色列人按着支派前来；结果，犹大支派被抽签抽中了；

¹⁶And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and bringeth Israel near by its tribes, and the tribe of Judah is captured;

¹⁷他要犹大宗族前来，结果，谢拉的家族被抽签抽中了；他要谢拉家族的男丁一个一个前来，结果，撒底被抽签抽中了；

¹⁷and he bringeth near the family of Judah, and he captureth the family of the Zarhite; and he bringeth near the family of the Zarhite by men, and Zabdi is captured;

¹⁸他要撒底家中的男丁一个一个前来，结果，亚干被抽签抽中了，亚干是迦米的儿子、撒底的孙子、谢拉的曾孙，是属于犹大支派的。

¹⁸and he bringeth near his household by men, and Achan — son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah — is captured.

¹⁹约书亚对亚干说：“我儿，我劝你把荣耀归给耶和华以色列的　神，向他认罪，告诉我你作了什么事，不可向我隐瞒。”

¹⁹And Joshua saith unto Achan, `My son, put, I pray thee, honour on Jehovah, God of Israel, and give to Him thanks, and declare, I pray thee, to me, what thou hast done — hide not from me.`

²⁰亚干认罪与受罚亚干回答约书亚，说：“我实在得罪了耶和华以色列的　神；我作过的事是这样的。

²⁰And Achan answereth Joshua, and saith, `Truly I have sinned against Jehovah, God of Israel, and thus and thus I have done;

²¹我在战利品中，看见了一件美丽的示拿衣服、二千二百八十克银子，和一条重五百七十克的金条；我因贪爱这些物件，就把它们拿去了；现在埋藏在我帐棚的地里，银子在底下。”

²¹and I see among the spoil a goodly robe of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and one wedge of gold, whose weight [is] fifty shekels, and I desire them, and take them; and lo, they [are] hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.`

²²约书亚就派人跑到亚干的帐棚里，果然见到东西埋藏在那里，银子在底下。

²²And Joshua sendeth messengers, and they run unto the tent, and lo, it is hidden in his tent, and the silver under it;

²³他们就把东西从帐棚中拿出来，带到约书亚和以色列人那里，摆在耶和华面前。

²³and they take them out of the midst of the tent, and bring them in unto Joshua, and unto all the sons of Israel, and pour them out before Jehovah.

²⁴约书亚和全体以色列人一起把谢拉的曾孙亚干和那银子、那件衣服、那金条，以及亚干的儿女、牛、驴、羊、帐棚和他所有的一切，都带上亚割谷去。

²⁴And Joshua taketh Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, and the robe, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his flock, and his tent, and all that he hath, and all Israel with him, and they cause them to go up the valley of Achor.

²⁵约书亚说：“你为什么给我们招惹灾祸呢？今天耶和华必使你遭受灾祸。”于是全体以色列人用石头把他打死。他们用石头打死他们以后，就把一切用火烧了。

²⁵And Joshua saith, `What! thou hast troubled us! — Jehovah doth trouble thee this day;` and all Israel cast stones at him, and they burn them with fire, and they stone them with stones,

²⁶众人又在亚干身上堆起了一大堆石头，这堆石头一直存到今日；于是耶和华就回心转意，不发烈怒。因此那地方名叫亚割谷，直到今日。

²⁶and they raise up over him a great heap of stones unto this day, and Jehovah turneth back from the heat of His anger, therefore hath [one] called the name of that place `Valley of Achor` till this day.
