¹But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

¹Sinovi Izraelovi pa so zagrešili nezvestobo pri prokletem; zakaj Ahan, sin Karmija, sinu Zabdija, Zerahovega sinu, iz rodu Judovega, je vzel od prokletega. In srd GOSPODOV se je razvnel zoper Izraelove sinove.

²And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

²Kajti Jozue je poslal može iz Jeriha proti Aju, ki je pri Betavenu, vzhodno od Betela, in jim rekel: Pojdite gori in oglejte deželo. In gredo in ogledajo Aj.

³And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labor thither; for they are but few.

³In ko se vrnejo k Jozuetu, mu reko: Naj ne hodi gori vse ljudstvo, a gre naj jih okoli dva ali tri tisoč in naj pokončajo Aj; ne pošlji tja vsega ljudstva, zakaj onih je malo.

⁴So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.

⁴Šlo je torej tja gori ljudstva okoli tri tisoč mož; pa so pobegnili pred možmi iz Aja.

⁵And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

⁵In možje iz Aja so pobili izmed njih šestintrideset mož, in so jih podili izpred vrat do Sebarima in jih pobijali, ko so navzdol bežali. In ljudstvu se je raztopilo srce in bilo je kakor voda.

⁶And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

⁶Jozue pa si raztrga oblačila in pade z obličjem na zemljo pred skrinjo GOSPODOVO in leži do večera, on in starešine Izraelovi, in sipljejo prah na glave svoje.

⁷And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!

⁷In Jozue reče: Ah, Gospod, Jehova, zakaj si vendar peljal to ljudstvo čez Jordan, da nas daš v roke Amorejcem v pogubo? O da nismo rajši ostali onostran Jordana!

⁸O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!

⁸Oh, Gospod, kaj naj rečem, ko je Izrael zbežal pred sovražniki svojimi?

⁹For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

⁹In slišali bodo to Kanaanci in vsi prebivalci v deželi, in nas obsujejo in iztrebijo naše ime z zemlje! In kaj storiš za veliko svoje ime?

¹⁰And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

¹⁰In GOSPOD reče Jozuetu: Vstani! zakaj tako ležiš na obličju svojem?

¹¹Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.

¹¹Izrael je grešil, res, prestopili so zavezo mojo, ki sem jim jo zapovedal, ker so vzeli od prokletega, pa so tudi ukradli in še zatajili in tudi položili med svojo robo.

¹²Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

¹²Zato ne morejo sinovi Izraelovi stati pred svojimi sovražniki, ampak bežati jim je, ker so v prokletstvu; več ne bodem z vami, dokler ne odpravite izmed sebe prokletstva.

¹³Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

¹³Vstani, posveti ljudstvo in reci: Posvetite se za jutrišnji dan, zakaj tako pravi GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov: Stvar prokleta je med teboj, o Izrael; ne moreš stati pred svojimi sovražniki, dokler ne odpraviš prokletstva izmed sebe.

¹⁴In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.

¹⁴Zjutraj torej pristopite sem po rodovih svojih, in rod, ki ga zadene GOSPOD, naj pristopi po svojih rodovinah, in rodovina, ki jo zadene GOSPOD, naj pristopi rodbina za rodbino; in rodbina, ki jo zadene GOSPOD, naj pristopi mož za možem.

¹⁵And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.

¹⁵In kdor bo zadet v prokletstvu, bodi v ognju sežgan z vsem, kar ima, ker je prestopil zavezo GOSPODOVO in ker je nespamet storil v Izraelu.

¹⁶So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:

¹⁶Zjutraj zgodaj pa vstane Jozue in ukaže Izraelu pristopati po svojih rodovih, in zadet je bil rod Judov.

¹⁷And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:

¹⁷In ukaže pristopiti rodovinam Judovim, in zadeta je bila rodovina Zerahovcev. Ko pristopi rodovina Zerahovcev, gospodar za gospodarjem, je bil zadet Zabdi.

¹⁸And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

¹⁸In ko pristopi rodbina njegova, mož za možem, je bil zadet Ahan, sin Karmija, sinu Zabdija, sinu Zerahovega, iz Judovega rodu.

¹⁹And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

¹⁹In Jozue reče Ahanu: Sin moj, daj vendar slavo GOSPODU, Izraelovemu Bogu, in pripoznaj njemu, in povej mi vendar, kaj si storil? Ničesar mi ne taji!

²⁰And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

²⁰Tedaj odgovori Ahan Jozuetu in reče: Resnično, pregrešil sem se zoper GOSPODA, Izraelovega Boga, in tako in tako sem storil:

²¹When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

²¹videl sem med plenom dragocen babilonski plašč in dvesto seklov srebra in šibiko zlata, petdeset seklov težko, in sem se tega polakomnil ter sem vzel, in glej, zakopano je sredi mojega šatora v zemlji, in srebro je odspodaj.

²²So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

²²Jozue torej pošlje sle, in teko k šatoru, in glej, skrito je bilo v njegovem šatoru, in srebro odspodaj.

²³And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

²³In vzemo te stvari izpod šatora in prineso Jozuetu in pred vse sinove Izraelove in jih polože pred GOSPODOM.

²⁴And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.

²⁴Jozue pa in ves Izrael ž njim vzame Ahana, sina Zerahovega, in srebro in plašč in šibiko zlata, sinove in hčere njegove, tudi vole in osle in ovce njegove, in šator njegov in vse, kar je imel, in jih peljejo gori v dolino Ahor.

²⁵And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

²⁵In Jozue reče: Kako si nas pripravil v nesrečo! Naj te GOSPOD spravi v nesrečo ta dan! In ves Izrael ga luča s kamenjem, in sežgo jih z ognjem in jih posujejo s kamenjem.In napravijo nad njim velik kup kamenja, ki je do današnjega dne. In odvrnila se je togota jeze GOSPODOVE. Zato se imenuje tisti kraj dolina Ahor [T. j. nesreča.] do današnjega dne.

²⁶And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

²⁶In napravijo nad njim velik kup kamenja, ki je do današnjega dne. In odvrnila se je togota jeze GOSPODOVE. Zato se imenuje tisti kraj dolina Ahor [T. j. nesreča.] do današnjega dne.
