¹But the children of Israel committed unfaithfulness in that which had been brought under the curse: 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 Jehovah was kindled against the children of Israel.

¹Ale synovia Izraelovi sa prehrešili dopustiac sa nevernosti pri zarieknutom. Lebo Achan, syn Karmiho, syna Zabdiho, syna Zéracha, z pokolenia Júdovho, vzal zo zarieknutého, a preto sa zapálil hnev Hospodinov na synov Izraelových.

²And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.

²A Jozua vyslal mužov od Jericha do Haja, ktorý bol pri Bét-ávene od východu Bét-ela, a riekol im: Iďte hore a prešpehujte zem. A mužovia odišli hore a prešpehovali Haj.

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

³A keď sa navrátili k Jozuovi, riekli mu: Nech nejde hore všetok ľud. Nech idú hore nejaké dva tisíce mužov alebo tri tisíce mužov, a zbijú Haj. Neunúvaj ta všetkého ľudu, lebo ich je málo.

⁴And there went up thither of the people about three thousand men, but they fled before the men of Ai.

⁴A tak odišlo ta hore z ľudu okolo tri tisíce mužov. Ale utiekli pred mužmi mesta Haja.

⁵And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men; and they pursued them from before the gate to Shebarim, and smote them on the descent. Then the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

⁵A mužovia Haja zabili z nich tak asi tridsaťšesť mužov a honili ich pred brány až po Šebarím, a bili ich na svahu. Vtedy sa rozlialo srdce ľudu a obrátilo sa na vodu.

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 threw dust upon their heads.

⁶A Jozua roztrhol svoje rúcha a padol na svoju tvár na zem pred truhlou Hospodinovou a ležal tam až do večera, on i starší Izraelovi, a sypali prach na svoju hlavu.

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

⁷A Jozua riekol: Ach, Pane Hospodine, prečo si len previedol tento ľud cez Jordán, aby si nás vydal do ruky Amoreja, aby si nás zahubil?! Ó, keby sme sa len boli spokojili a zostali za Jordánom!

⁸Ah Lord! what shall I say after Israel have turned their backs before their enemies?

⁸Ó, Pane, čo mám povedať teraz už, keď sa Izrael dal na útek pred svojimi nepriateľmi!

⁹When the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], they will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. And what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

⁹Keď to počujú Kananeji a všetci obyvatelia zeme, obkľúčia nás a vytnú naše meno zo zeme. A čo ty učiníš svojmu veľkému menu?!

¹⁰And Jehovah said to Joshua, Rise up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

¹⁰A Hospodin riekol Jozuovi: Vstaň! Prečo si padol a ležíš tu na svojej tvári?

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

¹¹Izrael zhrešil, aj prestúpili moju smluvu, ktorú som im prikázal zachovať, a k tomu aj vzali zo zarieknutého aj ukradli aj zatajili aj odložili medzi svoje náradie.

¹²And the children of Israel shall not be able to stand before their enemies: they shall turn their backs before their enemies, for they have made themselves accursed. I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the accursed thing from your midst.

¹²Preto nebudú môcť synovia Izraelovi obstáť pred svojimi nepriateľmi, utekať budú pred svojimi nepriateľmi, lebo sa poškvrnili zarieknutou vecou; nebudem viacej s vami, ak nezahladíte toho, ktorý sa poškvrnil zarieknutou vecou, zo svojho stredu.

¹³Rise up, hallow the people, and say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from your midst.

¹³Vstaň, posväť ľud a povieš im: Posväťte sa na zajtra, lebo takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Zarieknutá vec je v tvojom strede, Izraelu! Nebudeš môcť obstáť pred svojimi nepriateľmi, dokiaľ neodstránite zarieknutého zo svojho stredu.

¹⁴And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes; and it shall be, that the tribe which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by families, and the family which Jehovah taketh shall come forward by households; and the household which Jehovah taketh shall come forward man by man.

¹⁴Ráno pristúpite po svojich pokoleniach. A stane sa, že pokolenie, ktoré dochytí Hospodin, pristúpi po čeľadiach, a čeľaď, ktorú dochytí Hospodin, pristúpi po domoch, a konečne dom, ktorý dochytí Hospodin, pristúpi po osobách.

¹⁵And it shall be, that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath wrought wickedness in Israel.

¹⁵A stane sa, že ten, kto bude dochytený pri zarieknutom, bude upálený ohňom, on i všetko, čo je jeho, pretože prestúpil smluvu Hospodinovu a pretože vykonal bláznovstvo v Izraelovi.

¹⁶And Joshua rose early in the morning, and caused Israel to come forward by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.

¹⁶Vtedy vstal Jozua skoro ráno a rozkázal, aby pristúpil Izrael po svojich pokoleniach. A dochytené bolo pokolenie Júdovo.

¹⁷And he caused the families of Judah to come forward, and he took the family of the Zarhites. And he caused the family of the Zarhites to come forward man by man, and Zabdi was taken.

¹⁷Potom rozkázal, aby pristúpila čeľaď Júdova, a dochytil čeľaď Zárechovu. A rozkázal, aby pristúpila čeľaď Zárechova po osobách, a dochytený bol Zabdi.

¹⁸And he caused his household to come forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

¹⁸A keď rozkázal, aby pristúpil jeho dom po osobách, dochytený bol Achan, syn Karmiho, syn Zabdiho, syn Zéracha, z pokolenia Júdovho.

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

¹⁹A Jozua riekol Achanovi: Môj synu, nože daj Hospodinovi, Bohu Izraelovmu, česť a vyznaj sa mu a nože mi oznám, čo si to urobil, netaj predo mnou.

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

²⁰Vtedy odpovedal Achan Jozuovi a riekol: Je pravda, ja som zhrešil Hospodinovi, Bohu Izraelovmu, a urobil som tak a tak.

²¹I saw among the spoils a beautiful mantle of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a golden bar of fifty shekels weight, and 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.

²¹Keď som videl medzi korisťou jeden krásny plášť sineársky, dvesto šeklov striebra a jeden jazyk zlata päťdesiat šeklov váhy, zažiadalo sa mi vecí, a vzal som ich, a hľa, ukryté sú v zemi prostred môjho stánu, a striebro je pod tým.

²²And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

²²Vtedy poslal Jozua poslov, a bežali do stánu, a hľa, bolo to ukryté v jeho stáne a striebro pod tým.

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

²³A vzali veci zprostred stánu a doniesli ich k Jozuovi a ku všetkým synom Izraelovým a položili ich pred Hospodinom.

²⁴Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the bar 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 into the valley of Achor.

²⁴A Jozua vzal Achana, syna Zérachovho, i striebro i plášť i zlatý jazyk i jeho synov i jeho dcéry i jeho vola i jeho osla i jeho drobný dobytok i jeho stán i všetko, čo bolo jeho, a celý Izrael s ním a vyviedli ich hore do údolia Áchor.

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

²⁵A Jozua povedala: Prečo si nás zarmútil? Nech teba zarmúti Hospodin tohoto dňa! A uhádzali ho, celý Izrael, kamením, spálili ich ohňom a zahádzali ich kamením.

²⁶And they raised over him a great heap of stones, [which is there] to this day. And Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Valley of Achor, to this day.

²⁶Potom nanosili na neho veľkú hromadu kamenia, ktorá je tam až do tohoto dňa. A tak sa odvrátil Hospodin od pále svojho hnevu. Preto volajú to miesto: Údolie Áchor, až do tohoto dňa.
