여호수아 7

1이스라엘 자손들이 바친 물건을 인하여 범죄하였으니 이는 유다 지파 세라의 증손 삽디의 손자 갈미의 아들 아간이 바친 물건을 취하였음이라 여호와께서 이스라엘 자손들에게 진노하시니라 2여호수아가 여리고에서 사람을 벧엘 동편 벧아웬 곁에 있는 아이로 보내며 그들에게 일러 가로되 올라가서 그 땅을 정탐하라 하매 그 사람들이 올라가서 아이를 정탐하고 3여호수아에게로 돌아와서 그에게 이르되 백성을 다 올라가게 말고 이삼천 명만 올라가서 아이를 치게 하소서 그들은 소수니 모든 백성을 그리로 보내어 수고롭게 마소서 하므로 4백성중 삼천 명쯤 그리로 올라갔다가 아이 사람 앞에서 도망하니 5아이 사람이 그들의 삼십육 인쯤 죽이고 성문 앞에서부터 스바림까지 쫓아와서 내려가는 비탈에서 쳤으므로 백성의 마음이 녹아 물 같이 된지라 6여호수아가 옷을 찢고 이스라엘 장로들과 함께 여호와의 궤 앞에서 땅에 엎드려 머리에 티끌을 무릅쓰고 저물도록 있다가 7여호수아가 가로되 슬프도소이다 주 여호와여 어찌하여 이 백성을 인도하여 요단을 건너게 하시고 우리를 아모리 사람의 손에 붙여 멸망시키려 하셨나이까 우리가 요단 저편을 족하게 여겨 거하였더면 좋을뻔 하였나이다 8주여 이스라엘이 그 대적 앞에서 돌아섰으니 내가 무슨 말을 하오리이까 9가나안 사람과 이 땅 모든 거민이 이를 듣고 우리를 둘러싸고 우리 이름을 세상에서 끊으리니 주의 크신 이름을 위하여 어떻게 하시려나이까 10여호와께서 여호수아에게 이르시되 일어나라 어찌하여 이렇게 엎드렸느냐 11이스라엘이 범죄하여 내가 그들에게 명한 나의 언약을 어기었나니 곧 그들이 바친 물건을 취하고 도적하고 사기하여 자기 기구 가운데 두었느니라 12그러므로 이스라엘 자손들이 자기 대적을 능히 당치 못하고 그 앞에서 돌아섰나니 이는 자기도 바친 것이 됨이라 그 바친 것을 너희 중에서 멸하지 아니하면 내가 다시는 너희와 함께 있지 아니하리라 13너는 일어나서 백성을 성결케 하여 이르기를 너희는 스스로 성결케 하여 내일을 기다리라 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와의 말씀에 이스라엘아 너의 중에 바친 물건이 있나니 네가 그 바친 물건을 너의 중에서 제하기 전에는 너의 대적을 당치 못하리라 14아침에 너희는 너희 지파대로 가까이 나아오라 여호와께 뽑히는 지파는 그 족속대로 가까이 나아올 것이요 여호와께 뽑히는 족속은 그 가족대로 가까이 나아올 것이요 여호와께 뽑히는 가족은 각 남자대로 가까이 나아올 것이며 15바친 물건을 가진 자로 뽑힌 자를 불사르되 그와 그 모든 소유를 그리하라 이는 여호와의 언약을 어기고 이스라엘 가운데서 망령된 일을 행하였음이라 하셨다 하라 16이에 여호수아가 아침 일찍이 일어나서 이스라엘을 그 지파대로 가까이 나아오게 하였더니 유다 지파가 뽑혔고 17유다 족속을 가까이 나아오게 하였더니 세라 족속이 뽑혔고 세라 족속의 각 남자를 가까이 나아오게 하였더니 삽디가 뽑혔고 18삽디의 가족 각 남자를 가까이 나아오게 하였더니 유다 지파 세라의 증손이요 삽디의 손자요 갈미의 아들인 아간이 뽑혔더라 19여호수아가 아간에게 이르되 내 아들아 청하노라 이스라엘의 하나님 여호와께 영광을 돌려 그 앞에 자복하고 네 행한 일을 내게 고하라 그 일을 내게 숨기지 말라 20아간이 여호수아에게 대답하여 가로되 참으로 나는 이스라엘 하나님 여호와께 범죄하여 여차 여차히 행하였나이다 21내가 노략한 물건 중에 시날 산의 아름다운 외투 한 벌과 은 이백 세겔과 오십 세겔중의 금덩이 하나를 보고 탐내어 취하였나이다 보소서 이제 그 물건들을 내 장막 가운데 땅 속에 감추었는데 은은 그 밑에 있나이다 22이에 여호수아가 사자를 보내매 그의 장막에 달려가 본즉 물건이 그의 장막 안에 감취었는데 은은 그 밑에 있는지라 23그들이 그것을 장막 가운데서 취하여 여호수아와 이스라엘 모든 자손에게로 가져오매 그들이 그것을 여호와 앞에 놓으니라 24여호수아가 이스라엘 모든 사람으로 더불어 세라의 아들 아간을 잡고 그 은과 외투와 금덩이와 그 아들들과 딸들과 소들과 나귀들과 양들과 장막과 무릇 그에게 속한 모든 것을 이끌고 아골 골짜기로 가서 25여호수아가 가로되 네가 어찌하여 우리를 괴롭게 하였느뇨 여호와께서 오늘날 너를 괴롭게 하시리라 하니 온 이스라엘이 그를 돌로 치고 그것들도 돌로 치고 불사르고 26그 위에 돌 무더기를 크게 쌓았더니 오늘날까지 있더라 여호와께서 그 극렬한 분노를 그치시니 그러므로 그곳 이름을 오늘날까지 아골 골짜기라 부르더라

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. 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. 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.” 4So about three thousand men of the people went up there, and they fled before the men of Ai. 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. 6Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before Yahweh’s ark until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads. 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! 8Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel has turned their backs before their enemies! 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?” 10Yahweh said to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you fallen on your face like that? 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. 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. 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 your midst, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted thing from among you.” 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. 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.’” 16So Joshua rose up early in the morning and brought Israel near by their tribes. The tribe of Judah was selected. 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. 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. 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!” 20Achan answered Joshua, and said, “I have truly sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done. 21When I saw among the plunder 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.” 22So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. Behold, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it. 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. 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. 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. 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.

1Maar de kinderen Israels overtraden door overtreding met het verbannene; want Achan, de zoon van Charmi, den zoon van Zabdi, den zoon van Zerah, uit den stam van Juda, nam van het verbannene. Toen ontstak de toorn des HEEREN tegen de kinderen Israels. 2Als Jozua mannen zond van Jericho naar Ai, dat bij Beth-Aven ligt, aan het oosten van Beth-El, zo sprak hij tot hen, zeggende: Trekt opwaarts en bespiedt het land. Die mannen nu trokken op en bespiedden Ai. 3Daarna keerden zij weder naar Jozua, en zeiden tot hem: Dat het ganse volk niet optrekke, dat er omtrent twee duizend mannen, of omtrent drie duizend mannen optrekken, om Ai te slaan; vermoei daarheen al het volk niet; want zij zijn weinige. 4Alzo trokken derwaarts op van het volk omtrent drie duizend man; dewelke vloden voor het aangezicht der mannen van Ai. 5En de mannen van Ai sloegen van dezelven omtrent zes en dertig man, en vervolgden hen van voor de poort tot Schebarim toe, en sloegen hen in een afgang. Toen versmolt het hart des volks, en het werd tot water. 6Toen verscheurde Jozua zijn klederen, en viel op zijn aangezicht ter aarde, voor de ark des HEEREN, tot den avond toe, hij en de oudsten van Israel; en zij wierpen stof op hun hoofd. 7En Jozua zeide: Ach, Heere HEERE! waarom hebt Gij dit volk door de Jordaan ooit doen gaan, om ons te geven in de hand der Amorieten, om ons te verderven? Och, dat wij toch tevreden geweest en gebleven waren aan gene zijde van de Jordaan! 8Och, HEERE! wat zal ik zeggen, nademaal dat Israel voor het aangezicht zijner vijanden den nek gekeerd heeft? 9Als het de Kanaanieten, en alle inwoners des lands horen zullen, zo zullen zij ons omsingelen, en onzen naam uitroeien van de aarde; wat zult Gij dan Uw groten Naam doen? 10Toen zeide de HEERE tot Jozua: Sta op; waarom ligt gij dus neder op uw aangezicht? 11Israel heeft gezondigd; en zij hebben ook Mijn verbond, hetwelk Ik hun geboden had, overtreden; en ook hebben zij van het verbannene genomen, en ook gestolen, en ook gelogen, en hebben het ook onder hun gereedschap gelegd. 12Daarom zullen de kinderen Israels niet kunnen bestaan voor het aangezicht hunner vijanden; zij zullen den nek voor het aangezicht hunner vijanden keren; want zij zijn in den ban. Ik zal voortaan niet meer met ulieden zijn, tenzij gij den ban uit het midden van ulieden verdelgt. 13Sta op, heilig het volk, en zeg: Heiligt u tegen morgen; want alzo zegt de HEERE, de God van Israel: Er is een ban in het midden van u, Israel! gij zult niet kunnen bestaan voor het aangezicht uwer vijanden, totdat gij den ban wegdoet uit het midden van u. 14Gij zult dan in den morgenstond aankomen naar uw stammen; en het zal geschieden, de stam, welken de HEERE geraakt zal hebben, die zal aankomen naar de geslachten, en welk geslacht de HEERE geraakt zal hebben, dat zal aankomen bij huisgezinnen, en welk huisgezin de HEERE geraakt zal hebben, dat zal aankomen man voor man. 15En het zal geschieden, die geraakt zal worden met den ban, die zal met vuur verbrand worden, hij en al wat hij heeft; omdat hij het verbond des HEEREN overtreden heeft, en omdat hij dwaasheid in Israel gedaan heeft. 16Toen maakte zich Jozua des morgens vroeg op, en deed Israel aankomen naar zijn stammen; en de stam van Juda werd geraakt. 17Als hij het geslacht van Juda deed aankomen, zo raakte hij het geslacht van Zarchi. Toen hij het geslacht van Zarchi deed aankomen, man voor man, zo werd Zabdi geraakt; 18Welks huisgezin als hij deed aankomen, man voor man, zo werd Achan geraakt, de zoon van Charmi, den zoon van Zabdi, den zoon van Zerah, uit den stam van Juda. 19Toen zeide Jozua tot Achan: Mijn zoon! Geef toch den HEERE, den God van Israel, de eer, en doe voor Hem belijdenis; en geef mij toch te kennen, wat gij gedaan hebt, verberg het voor mij niet. 20Achan nu antwoordde Jozua, en zeide: Voorwaar, ik heb tegen den HEERE, den God Israels, gezondigd, en heb alzo en alzo gedaan. 21Want ik zag onder den roof een schoon sierlijk Babylonisch overkleed, en tweehonderd sikkelen zilvers, en een gouden tong, welker gewicht was vijftig sikkelen; en ik kreeg lust daartoe, en ik nam ze; en zie, zij zijn verborgen in de aarde, in het midden mijner tent, en het zilver daaronder. 22Toen zond Jozua boden henen, die tot de tent liepen; en ziet, het lag verborgen in zijn tent, en het zilver daaronder. 23Zij dan namen die dingen uit het midden der tent, en zij brachten ze tot Jozua en tot al de kinderen Israels; en zij stortten ze uit voor het aangezicht des HEEREN. 24Toen nam Jozua, en gans Israel met hem, Achan, den zoon van Zerah, en het zilver, en het sierlijk overkleed, en de gouden tong, en zijn zonen, en zijn dochteren, en zijn ossen, en zijn ezelen, en zijn vee, en zijn tent, en alles wat hij had; en zij voerden ze naar het dal Achor. 25En Jozua zeide: Hoe hebt gij ons beroerd? De HEERE zal u beroeren te dezen dage! En gans Israel stenigde hem met stenen, en zij verbrandden hen met vuur, en zij overwierpen hen met stenen. 26En zij richtten over hem een groten steenhoop, zijnde tot op dezen dag. Alzo keerde Zich de HEERE van de hittigheid Zijns toorns. Daarom noemde men den naam dier plaats het dal van Achor, tot dezen dag toe.
