Joshua 7
New English Translation

Achan Sins and is Punished

7 But the Israelites disobeyed the command about the city’s riches.[a] Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi,[b] son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, stole some of the riches.[c] The Lord was furious with the Israelites.[d]

2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai (which is located near Beth Aven, east of Bethel) and instructed them, “Go up and spy on the land.” So the men went up and spied on Ai. 3 They returned and reported to Joshua,[e] “Don’t send the whole army.[f] About two or three thousand men are adequate to defeat Ai.[g] Don’t tire out the whole army, for Ai is small.”[h]

4 So about 3,000 men went up, but they fled from the men of Ai. 5 The men of Ai killed about thirty-six of them and chased them from in front of the city gate all the way to the fissures[i] and defeated them on the steep slope.[j] The people’s[k] courage melted away like water.[l]

6 Joshua tore his clothes;[m] he and the leaders[n] of Israel lay face down on the ground before the ark of the Lord until evening[o] and threw dirt on their heads.[p] 7 Joshua prayed,[q] “O, Sovereign Lord! Why did you bring these people across the Jordan to hand us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us? If only we had been satisfied to live on the other side of the Jordan! 8 O Lord, what can I say now that Israel has retreated[r] before its enemies? 9 When the Canaanites and all who live in the land hear about this, they will turn against us and destroy the very memory of us[s] from the earth. What will you do to protect your great reputation?”[t]

10 The Lord responded[u] to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you lying there face down?[v] 11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenantal commandment![w] They have taken some of the riches;[x] they have stolen them and deceitfully put them among their own possessions.[y] 12 The Israelites are unable to stand before their enemies; they retreat because they have become subject to annihilation.[z] I will no longer be with you,[aa] unless you destroy what has contaminated you.[ab] 13 Get up! Ritually consecrate the people and tell them this: ‘Ritually consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, because this is what the Lord God of Israel has said, “You are contaminated,[ac] O Israel! You will not be able to stand before your enemies until you remove what is contaminating you.”[ad] 14 In the morning you must approach in tribal order.[ae] The tribe the Lord selects[af] must approach by clans. The clan the Lord selects must approach by families.[ag] The family the Lord selects must approach man by man.[ah] 15 The one caught with the riches[ai] must be burned up[aj] along with all who belong to him, because he violated the Lord’s covenant and did such a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”

16 Bright and early the next morning Joshua made Israel approach in tribal order,[ak] and the tribe of Judah was selected. 17 He then made the clans of Judah approach, and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He made the clan of the Zerahites approach, and Zabdi[al] was selected.[am] 18 He then made Zabdi’s[an] family approach man by man[ao] and Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was selected. 19 So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, honor[ap] the Lord God of Israel and give him praise! Tell me what you did; don’t hide anything from me.” 20 Achan told Joshua, “It is true. I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel in this way:[aq] 21 I saw among the goods we seized a nice robe from Babylon,[ar] 200 silver pieces,[as] and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels. I wanted them, so I took them. They are hidden in the ground right in the middle of my tent, with the silver underneath.”

22 Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent. The things were hidden right in his tent, with the silver underneath.[at] 23 They took it all from the middle of the tent, brought it to Joshua and all the Israelites, and placed[au] it before the Lord. 24 Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, son of Zerah, along with the silver, the robe, the bar of gold, his sons, daughters, oxen, donkeys, sheep, tent, and all that belonged to him and brought them up to the Valley of Disaster.[av] 25 Joshua said, “Why have you brought disaster on[aw] us? The Lord will bring disaster on you today!” All Israel stoned him to death. (They also stoned and burned the others.)[ax] 26 Then they erected over him a large pile of stones (it remains to this very day[ay]) and the Lord’s anger subsided. So that place is called the Valley of Disaster to this very day.

Josué 7
Segond 21

Faute et punition d'Acan

7 Les Israélites commirent un acte d’infidélité au sujet des biens voués à la destruction: Acan, fils de Carmi, petit-fils de Zabdi et descendant de Zérach, de la tribu de Juda, prit des biens ainsi consacrés, et la colère de l'Eternel s'enflamma contre les Israélites.

2 De Jéricho, Josué envoya des hommes vers Aï, qui est située près de Beth-Aven, à l'est de Béthel. Il leur dit: «Montez explorer le pays.» Ces hommes montèrent explorer Aï. 3 De retour vers Josué, ils lui dirent: «Il est inutile de faire monter tout le peuple à l’attaque: 2000 ou 3000 hommes suffiront pour battre Aï. Ne donne pas cette fatigue à tout le peuple, car eux sont en petit nombre.» 4 Ainsi, 3000 hommes environ se mirent en marche, mais ils prirent la fuite devant les habitants d'Aï. 5 Les habitants d'Aï leur tuèrent environ 36 hommes. Ils les poursuivirent depuis la porte de la ville jusqu'à Shebarim et les battirent à la descente. Le peuple perdit courage, il se liquéfia.

6 Josué déchira ses vêtements et se prosterna jusqu'au soir, le visage contre terre, devant l'arche de l'Eternel. Il était avec les anciens d'Israël, et ils se couvrirent la tête de poussière. 7 Josué dit: «Ah! Seigneur Eternel, pourquoi as-tu fait passer le Jourdain à ce peuple? Est-ce pour nous livrer entre les mains des Amoréens et nous faire mourir? Si seulement nous avions su rester de l'autre côté du Jourdain! 8 De grâce, Seigneur, que dirai-je maintenant qu'Israël a pris la fuite devant ses ennemis? 9 Les Cananéens et tous les habitants du pays l'apprendront. Ils nous encercleront et feront disparaître notre nom de la terre. Et que feras-tu pour ton grand nom?»

10 L'Eternel dit à Josué: «Lève-toi! Pourquoi restes-tu ainsi prosterné? 11 Israël a péché. Ils ont violé mon alliance, celle que je leur ai prescrite; ils ont pris des biens voués à la destruction, ils les ont volés et ont menti, et ils les ont cachés parmi leurs affaires. 12 Ainsi, les Israélites ne peuvent plus résister à leurs ennemis. Ils prendront la fuite devant eux, car ils sont sous une menace de destruction. Je ne serai plus avec vous si vous n’éliminez pas l’objet voué à la destruction du milieu de vous. 13 Lève-toi, consacre le peuple. Tu ordonneras: ‘Consacrez-vous pour demain, car voici ce que dit l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël: Il y a un objet voué à la destruction au milieu de toi, Israël. Tu ne pourras plus résister à tes ennemis, jusqu'à ce que vous l’ayez enlevé du milieu de vous.’ 14 Vous vous approcherez le matin par tribus et la tribu que désignera l'Eternel s'approchera clan par clan, le clan que désignera l'Eternel s'approchera famille par famille, puis la famille que désignera l'Eternel s'approchera homme par homme. 15 Celui qui sera désigné comme ayant pris des biens voués à la destruction sera brûlé au feu, lui et tout ce qui lui appartient, pour avoir violé l'alliance de l'Eternel et commis un acte odieux en Israël.»

16 Josué se leva de bon matin. Il fit approcher Israël par tribus et la tribu de Juda fut désignée. 17 Il fit approcher les clans de Juda et le clan de Zérach fut désigné. Il fit approcher le clan de Zérach famille par famille et Zabdi fut désigné. 18 Il fit approcher la famille de Zabdi homme par homme et Acan, fils de Carmi, petit-fils de Zabdi et descendant de Zérach, de la tribu de Juda, fut désigné.

19 Josué dit à Acan: «Mon fils, donne gloire à l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, et rends-lui hommage. Dis-moi donc ce que tu as fait, ne me le cache pas.» 20 Acan répondit à Josué: «Il est vrai que j'ai péché contre l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, et voici ce que j'ai fait. 21 J'ai vu dans le butin un beau manteau de Shinear, 200 pièces d'argent et un lingot d'or de près de 600 grammes. J’en ai eu envie et je les ai pris. Ils sont cachés dans la terre dans ma tente et l'argent est dessous.» 22 Josué envoya des hommes qui coururent à la tente: les objets étaient bien cachés dans la tente d'Acan et l'argent était bien dessous. 23 Ils les prirent dans la tente, les apportèrent à Josué et à tous les Israélites et les déposèrent devant l'Eternel.

24 Josué et tout Israël avec lui prirent Acan, fils de Zérach, l'argent, le manteau, le lingot d'or, les fils et les filles d'Acan, ses bœufs, ses ânes, ses brebis, sa tente et tout ce qui lui appartenait. Ils les firent monter dans la vallée d'Acor. 25 Josué dit: «Pourquoi as-tu causé notre malheur? L'Eternel causera ton malheur aujourd'hui.» Et tout Israël lapida Acan. On les brûla au feu, on les lapida 26 et l'on éleva sur Acan un grand tas de pierres qui subsiste encore aujourd'hui. L'Eternel renonça alors à son ardente colère. C'est à cause de cet événement qu'on a appelé jusqu'à aujourd’hui cet endroit vallée d'Acor[a].

Joshua 7
New International Version

Achan’s Sin

7 But the Israelites were unfaithful in regard to the devoted things[a];(A) Achan(B) son of Karmi, the son of Zimri,[b] the son of Zerah,(C) of the tribe of Judah,(D) took some of them. So the Lord’s anger burned(E) against Israel.(F)

2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai,(G) which is near Beth Aven(H) to the east of Bethel,(I) and told them, “Go up and spy out(J) the region.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.

3 When they returned to Joshua, they said, “Not all the army will have to go up against Ai. Send two or three thousand men to take it and do not weary the whole army, for only a few people live there.” 4 So about three thousand went up; but they were routed by the men of Ai,(K) 5 who killed about thirty-six(L) of them. They chased the Israelites from the city gate as far as the stone quarries and struck them down on the slopes. At this the hearts of the people melted in fear(M) and became like water.

6 Then Joshua tore his clothes(N) and fell facedown(O) to the ground before the ark of the Lord, remaining there till evening.(P) The elders of Israel(Q) did the same, and sprinkled dust(R) on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord, why(S) did you ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us?(T) If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan! 8 Pardon your servant, Lord. What can I say, now that Israel has been routed by its enemies? 9 The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth.(U) What then will you do for your own great name?(V)”

10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face? 11 Israel has sinned;(W) they have violated my covenant,(X) which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied,(Y) they have put them with their own possessions.(Z) 12 That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies;(AA) they turn their backs(AB) and run(AC) because they have been made liable to destruction.(AD) I will not be with you anymore(AE) unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.

13 “Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, ‘Consecrate yourselves(AF) in preparation for tomorrow; for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: There are devoted things among you, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.

14 “‘In the morning, present(AG) yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe the Lord chooses(AH) shall come forward clan by clan; the clan the Lord chooses shall come forward family by family; and the family the Lord chooses shall come forward man by man. 15 Whoever is caught with the devoted things(AI) shall be destroyed by fire,(AJ) along with all that belongs to him.(AK) He has violated the covenant(AL) of the Lord and has done an outrageous thing in Israel!’”(AM)

16 Early the next morning Joshua had Israel come forward by tribes, and Judah was chosen. 17 The clans of Judah came forward, and the Zerahites were chosen.(AN) He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward by families, and Zimri was chosen. 18 Joshua had his family come forward man by man, and Achan son of Karmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah,(AO) was chosen.(AP)

19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory(AQ) to the Lord, the God of Israel, and honor him. Tell(AR) me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”

20 Achan replied, “It is true! I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: 21 When I saw in the plunder(AS) a beautiful robe from Babylonia,[c] two hundred shekels[d] of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels,[e] I coveted(AT) them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”

22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath. 23 They took the things from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites and spread them out before the Lord.

24 Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons(AU) and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor.(AV) 25 Joshua said, “Why have you brought this trouble(AW) on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.”

Then all Israel stoned him,(AX) and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them.(AY) 26 Over Achan they heaped(AZ) up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.(BA) Then the Lord turned from his fierce anger.(BB) Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor[f](BC) ever since.

約書亞記 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

亞干犯罪

7 以色列人在當毀滅之物的事上犯了罪。因為猶大支派中謝拉的曾孫、撒底的孫子、迦米的兒子亞干拿了一些本該毀滅的東西，耶和華便向以色列人發怒。

2 當時，約書亞從耶利哥派人去偵察伯特利東邊靠近伯·亞文的艾城。 3 他們偵察回來後對約書亞說：「那裡的居民很少，我們不必勞師動眾派所有的人上去，只要派兩三千人上去便可以攻取艾城。」 4 於是，大約有三千以色列人去攻打艾城，不料卻被艾城人擊潰。 5 艾城的人殺了他們三十六人，從城門前追殺他們，一直到示巴琳，在下坡處殺敗他們。以色列人嚇得心驚膽戰。

6 約書亞和以色列的長老便撕裂衣服，把灰撒在頭上，俯伏在耶和華的約櫃面前，直到晚上。 7 約書亞說：「唉！主耶和華啊，你讓我們過了約旦河，為什麼把我們交在亞摩利人手上，讓他們毀滅我們呢？倒不如讓我們住在約旦河對岸！ 8 主啊，現在以色列人被仇敵打敗，我還有什麼話可說呢？ 9 迦南人和這一帶的人聽到這消息以後，必從四面八方來圍攻我們，將我們從地上斬盡殺絕。那時候，你的威名又何在呢？」

10 耶和華對約書亞說：「起來吧！你為何俯伏在地？ 11 以色列人犯了罪，違背了我吩咐他們應守的約，偷拿了本該毀滅的東西放在自己的行囊裡，還撒謊。 12 所以，以色列人受咒詛，無法抵擋敵人，掉頭敗逃。你必須將那些本該毀滅的東西從你們中間除掉，不然我就不再與你們同在。 13 起來吧！去吩咐民眾潔淨自己，讓他們為明天潔淨自己，因為以色列的上帝耶和華這樣說，『以色列啊！你們中間有本該毀滅的東西，你們不除掉這些東西就無法抵擋敵人。 14 明天早上，你們要按支派一個一個前來，耶和華指出哪個支派，哪支派的各宗族便要前來。耶和華指出哪個宗族，哪宗族的各家族便要前來。耶和華指出哪個家族，哪家族的各成員便要前來。 15 哪個人被指出拿了本該毀滅的東西，哪個人及其所有的東西就要被火焚燒。因為他違背了耶和華的約，在以色列人中做了可恥的事。』」

16 第二天清早，約書亞按照支派召來以色列人，結果抽中猶大支派； 17 他讓猶大支派各宗族前來，結果抽中謝拉宗族；他讓謝拉宗族前來，結果抽中撒底家族； 18 他讓撒底家族的人一個一個前來，結果抽中迦米的兒子亞干。 19 約書亞對亞干說：「孩子啊，我勸你把榮耀歸給以色列的上帝耶和華，向祂認罪，把你所做的事告訴我，不要隱瞞。」 20 亞干答道：「我的確得罪了以色列的上帝耶和華。事情是這樣的， 21 在奪得的財物中，我看上了一件漂亮的示拿外衣、兩千二百克銀子和五百五十克金子，我一時貪心便拿去了，藏在我帳篷的地底下，銀子就放在衣服下面。」

22 約書亞派人跑到他的帳篷裡，果然在那裡找到了那件衣服和衣服下面的銀子。 23 他們將這些東西帶到約書亞和民眾那裡，擺在耶和華面前。 24 約書亞和全體以色列人把謝拉家族的亞干、那些銀子、衣服和金子及其兒女、牛、驢、羊、帳篷和一切所有都帶到亞割谷。 25 約書亞對亞干說：「你為什麼給我們惹禍呢？今天耶和華要降禍給你。」於是，以色列人便拿石頭打死了他和他一切的人畜，將其燒毀。 26 他們在亞干身上堆起一大堆石頭，那些石頭今天還在。耶和華這才息怒，因此那地方至今還叫亞割[a]谷。
