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

¹Aga Iisraeli lapsed talitasid hävitamisele määratuga petise kombel, sest Aakan, Serahi poja Sabdi poja Karmi poeg Juuda suguharust, võttis enesele midagi hävitamisele määratust. Seepärast süttis Issanda viha põlema Iisraeli laste vastu.

²And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.

²Joosua läkitas nüüd Jeerikost mehi Aisse, mis on Beet-Aaveni ligidal Peetelist ida pool, ja rääkis neile, öeldes: 'Minge ja kuulake maad!' Ja mehed läksid ning uurisid Aid.

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; make not all the people to toil thither; for they are but few.

³Kui nad tulid tagasi Joosua juurde, siis nad ütlesid temale: 'Ärgu mingu kogu rahvas! Mingu ainult kaks või kolm tuhat meest ja vallutagu Ai! Ära väsita seal kogu rahvast, sest neid on vähe!'

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

⁴Nii läks sinna rahva hulgast ligi kolm tuhat meest, aga nad põgenesid Ai meeste eest.

⁵And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men; and they chased them [from] before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them at the descent; and the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

⁵Ja Ai mehed lõid neist maha kolmkümmend kuus meest ning ajasid ülejäänuid taga värava eest kuni Sebarimini ja lõid neid nõlvakul. Siis sulas rahva süda ja muutus veeks.

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

⁶Aga Joosua käristas oma riided lõhki ning heitis Issanda laeka ette silmili maha ja jäi sinna kuni õhtuni, tema ja Iisraeli vanemad, ja nad panid endile põrmu pea peale.

⁷And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!

⁷Ja Joosua ütles: 'Oh Issand Jumal, miks lasksid tulla selle rahva üle Jordani, et annad meid emorlaste kätte hukkamiseks? Oleksime ometi otsustanud jääda teisele poole Jordanit!

⁸Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel hath turned their backs before their enemies!

⁸Oh Issand! Mida peaksin ütlema pärast seda, kui Iisrael on pööranud oma vaenlase poole selja?

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

⁹Kui kaananlased ja kõik maa elanikud kuulevad sellest, siis nad piiravad meid ümber ja kaotavad meie nime maa pealt. Mida sa mõtled teha oma suure nime heaks?'

¹⁰And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore art thou thus fallen upon thy face?

¹⁰Aga Issand ütles Joosuale: 'Tõuse! Miks sa lamad silmili maas?

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

¹¹Iisrael on pattu teinud ja on rikkunud ka minu lepingu, mille ma nendega tegin; nad on endile võtnud hävitamisele määratust, jah, nad on varastanud ja petnud ning on selle isegi pannud oma asjade hulka.

¹²Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they are become accursed: I will not be with you any more, except ye destroy the devoted thing from among you.

¹²Sellepärast Iisraeli lapsed ei suuda oma vaenlastele vastu panna, vaid nad pööravad vaenlaste poole selja, sest nad ise on määratud hävitamisele. Mina ei ole enam teiega, kui te ei kõrvalda endi keskelt hävitamisele määratud asja.

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

¹³Tõuse, pühitse rahvast ja ütle: Pühitsege endid homseks! Sest nõnda ütleb Issand, Iisraeli Jumal: Üks hävitamisele määratud asi on su keskel, Iisrael. Sa ei suuda enne oma vaenlastele vastu panna, kui te endi keskelt ei ole kõrvaldanud hävitamisele määratud asja.

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

¹⁴Hommikul astuge ette oma suguharude kaupa ja see suguharu, kellele Issanda liisk osutab, astugu ette suguvõsade kaupa; ja suguvõsa, kellele Issanda liisk osutab, astugu ette perekondade kaupa; ja perekond, kellele Issanda liisk osutab, astugu ette mees-mehelt!

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

¹⁵See, keda tabatakse hävitamisele määratud asjaga, põletatagu tulega, tema ja kõik, mis tal on, sest ta on rikkunud Issanda lepingu ja on Iisraelis teinud häbiteo!'

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

¹⁶Ja Joosua tõusis hommikul vara ning laskis Iisraeli astuda ette suguharude kaupa: liisk osutas Juuda suguharule.

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

¹⁷Ja ta laskis Juuda suguharu ette astuda ning liisk osutas serahlaste suguvõsale; siis ta laskis serahlaste suguvõsa ette astuda mees-mehelt: liisk osutas Sabdile.

¹⁸and he brought near 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.

¹⁸Siis ta laskis tema perekonna ette astuda mees-mehelt: liisk osutas Aakanile, Serahi poja Sabdi poja Karmi pojale Juuda suguharust.

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

¹⁹Ja Joosua ütles Aakanile: 'Mu poeg, anna nüüd au Issandale, Iisraeli Jumalale, tunnista temale kiituseks ja avalda mulle, mida sa oled teinud! Ära minu ees salga!'

²⁰And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

²⁰Ja Aakan vastas Joosuale ning ütles: 'Ma olen tõesti teinud pattu Issanda, Iisraeli Jumala vastu! Ma tegin nõnda:

²¹when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonish mantle, 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.

²¹kui ma nägin saagi hulgas ühte kaunist Sineari kuube, kahtesada hõbeseeklit ja ühte kuldkangi, kaalult viiskümmend seeklit, siis ma himustasin neid ja võtsin need, ja vaata, need on kaevatud maasse keset mu telki, ja hõbe on kõige all.'

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

²²Siis Joosua läkitas käskjalad ja need jooksid telki. Ja vaata, see oli maetud ta telgis, hõbe kõige all.

²³And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel; and they laid them down before Jehovah.

²³Siis nad võtsid need telgist ja viisid Joosua ja kõigi Iisraeli laste juurde ning puistasid Issanda ette.

²⁴And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, 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 up unto the valley of Achor.

²⁴Siis Joosua võttis Aakani, Serahi poja, hõbeda, mantli ja kuldkangi, tema pojad ja tütred, tema härjad, eeslid, lambad ja kitsed, tema telgi ja kõik, mis tal oli, ja kogu Iisrael oli koos temaga, ja nad viisid need Aakori orgu.

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

²⁵Ja Joosua ütles: 'Miks sa tõukasid meid õnnetusse? Issand tõukab nüüd sind õnnetusse!' Ja kogu Iisrael viskas tema kividega surnuks; nad põletasid need tulega ja pildusid neile kive.

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

²⁶Ja nad kuhjasid tema peale suure kivihunniku, mis on olemas tänapäevani. Siis Issand pöördus oma tulisest vihast. Seepärast hüütakse seda paika tänapäevani Aakori oruks.
