Joshua 7

But 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.

Ali se sinovi Izraelovi teško ogriješiše o "herem", jer je Akan, sin Karmija, sina Zabdijeva, sina Zerahova, od plemena Judina, uzeo od ukletih stvari, i Jahve se razgnjevi na sinove Izraelove.

And 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 view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

Jošua pak posla ljude iz Jerihona u Aj, koji leži istočno od Betela, i reče im: "Uziđite onamo, izvidite kraj!" Ljudi odoše te izvidješe Aj.

And 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 labour thither; for they are but few.

Vrativši se k Jošui, rekoše mu: "Ne treba da onamo uzlazi sav narod; dvije do tri tisuće ljudi neka idu da osvoje Aj. Ne muči onamo sav narod, jer je ondje malo svijeta."

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

Pođe onamo oko tri tisuće ljudi od svega naroda, ali su morali pobjeći pred onima iz Aja.

And 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.

Ajani pobiše oko trideset i šest ljudi i tjerali su ih ispred svojih vrata do Šebarima: pobili su ih na strmini. Klonu tada srce narodu kao da mu je voda u žilama.

And 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.

Razdrije Jošua haljine svoje i baci se ničice pred Kovčegom Jahvinim, i ostade tako do večeri, on i starješine u Izraelu, posuvši glave pepelom.

And 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!

Tada reče Jošua: "Jao, Gospode Jahve, zašto si preveo ovaj narod preko Jordana? Da nas predaš u ruke Amorejaca da nas pobiju? Kamo sreće da smo stali s onu stranu Jordana!

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

Oprosti, Gospode! Što drugo da rečem kad je Izrael okrenuo leđa pred svojim neprijateljima?

For 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?

Ako to čuju Kanaanci i ostali žitelji zemlje, udružit će se protiv nas da zbrišu ime naše sa zemlje. Što ćeš, dakle, učiniti za veliko ime svoje?"

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

A Jahve odgovori Jošui: "Ustani! Zašto si pao ničice?

Israel 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.

Izrael je sagriješio: prekršili su Savez kojim sam ih vezao. Zaista, uzeše ukleto, porobiše, posakrivaše i prisvojiše.

Therefore 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.

I zato Izraelci ne mogu izdržati pred svojim neprijateljima, okreću leđa pred protivnicima jer su postali ukleti. Ja ne mogu više biti s vama ako iz svoje sredine ne maknete proklete.

Up, 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.

Ustani! Sazovi narod na posvećenje i reci mu: Posvetite se za sutra, jer ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Kletva je u tebi, Izraele; i nećeš izdržati pred svojim neprijateljima sve dok ne odstranite kletvu iz svoje sredine.'

In 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.

Zato sutra zorom pristupite pleme za plemenom; iz plemena koje odredi Jahve prići će rod za rodom, a onda iz roda koji označi Jahve pristupit će obitelj po obitelj, a iz obitelji koju označi Jahve pristupit će čovjek za čovjekom.

And 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.

I tko se tada nađe s ukletom stvari, neka se spali on i sve što mu pripada, jer je prekršio Savez Jahvin i osramotio Izraela."

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

Urani Jošua ujutro i pozva Izraela po plemenima; pristupiše i otkri se pleme Judino.

And 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:

Potom pristupi rod za rodom iz plemena Judina i pronađe se rod Zerahov. Pristupiše obitelji roda Zerahova, domaćin jedan za drugim, i pronađoše obitelj Zabdijevu.

And 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.

Naposljetku naredi Jošua da pristupi obitelj Zabdijeva, muškarac jedan za drugim, i pronašao se Akan, sin Karmija, sina Zabdijeva, sina Zerahova, od plemena Judina.

And 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.

Tada reče Jošua Akanu: "Sine moj, daj slavu Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu, i priznaj mu što si učinio; objasni što si učinio i nemoj mi ništa tajiti."

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

Akan reče Jošui: "Zaista, ja sagriješih Jahvi, Bogu Izraelovu, i evo što sam učinio:

When 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.

vidjeh u plijenu lijep šinearski plašt, dvije stotine srebrnjaka i zlatnu šipku vrijednu pedeset srebrnjaka, pa se polakomih i uzeh sebi. Eno je sve zakopano usred moga šatora, a srebro je odozdo."

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

Tada uputi Jošua poslanike, koji otrčaše u šator. I gle, sve bijaše zakopano u šatoru, a odozdo srebro.

And 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.

Uzmu sve iz šatora i donesu Jošui i starješinama Izraelovim i prostriješe sve pred Jahvu.

And 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.

Tada uze Jošua Akana, sina Zerahova, i srebro, plašt i zlatnu šipku, i sve sinove i kćeri njegove, volove njegove i magarad, i ovce, šator njegov i sve što bijaše njegovo te ga izvede u dolinu Akor. Pratio ih sav Izrael.

And 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.

Reče Jošua: "Kako si ti nas unesrećio, tako danas tebe unesrećio Jahve!" I kamenova ga sav Izrael.

And 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.

Potom navališe na njega gomilu kamenja, koje stoji do danas. Tako se Jahve ublaži od svoga žestoka gnjeva. Zbog toga se događaja prozva ono mjesto dolina Akor i tako se zove do danas.
