1But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned 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.
2Joshua 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 land.” The men went up and spied out 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.
3They returned to Joshua, and said to him, “Don’t let all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Don’t make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them.”
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 about three thousand men of the people went up there, 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.
5The men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them, and they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck them at the descent. The hearts of the people melted, and became like 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.
6Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on 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.
7Joshua said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived beyond the 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!
8Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel has turned 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 will hear of it, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your 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?
10Yahweh said to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you fallen on your face like that?
10In GOSPOD reče Jozuetu: Vstani! zakaj tako ležiš na obličju svojem?
11Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. They have even put it 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 can’t stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted things 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.
13“Get up! Sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, “There is a devoted thing in the midst of you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted 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.
14“‘In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which Yahweh selects shall come near by families. The family which Yahweh selects shall come near by households. The household which Yahweh selects shall come near 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.
15It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he has done a disgraceful thing 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 near by their tribes. The tribe of Judah was selected.
16Zjutraj zgodaj pa vstane Jozue in ukaže Izraelu pristopati po svojih rodovih, in zadet je bil rod Judov.
17He brought near the family of Judah; and he selected the family of the Zerahites. He brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was selected.
17In ukaže pristopiti rodovinam Judovim, in zadeta je bila rodovina Zerahovcev. Ko pristopi rodovina Zerahovcev, gospodar za gospodarjem, je bil zadet Zabdi.
18He 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 selected.
18In ko pristopi rodbina njegova, mož za možem, je bil zadet Ahan, sin Karmija, sinu Zabdija, sinu Zerahovega, iz Judovega rodu.
19Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please give glory to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done! Don’t hide it 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!
20Achan answered Joshua, and said, “I have truly sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel, and this is what I have 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 spoil a beautiful Babylonian robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Behold, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with 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 to the tent. Behold, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.
22Jozue torej pošlje sle, in teko k šatoru, in glej, skrito je bilo v njegovem šatoru, in srebro odspodaj.
23They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. They laid them down before Yahweh.
23In vzemo te stvari izpod šatora in prineso Jozuetu in pred vse sinove Izraelove in jih polože pred GOSPODOM.
24Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to 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.
25Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? Yahweh will trouble you this day.” All Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire and 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.
26They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Yahweh turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called “The valley of Achor” to 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.
