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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.`

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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

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

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?`

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

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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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;

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.

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;

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.

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.`

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

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

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

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;

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

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.

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.

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.`

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

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

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.

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.`

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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.
