Joshua 7

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 But the sons of Israel transgressed the commandment, and they usurped what was anathema. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took something from what was anathema. And the Lord became angry against the sons of Israel.	1 Οι δε υιοι Ισραηλ εκαμον παραβασιν εις το αναθεμα? διοτι Αχαν, ο υιος του Χαρμι, υιου του Ζαβδι, υιου του Ζερα, εκ της φυλης Ιουδα, ελαβεν απο του αναθεματος? και εξηφθη η οργη του Κυριου κατα των υιων Ισραηλ.
2 And when Joshua sent men from Jericho against Ai, which is beside Bethaven, toward the eastern region of the town of Bethel, he said to them, “Go up and explore the land.” And they fulfilled his instruction, and they explored Ai.	2 Και απεστειλεν ο Ιησους ανθρωπους εκ της Ιεριχω εις Γαι, την πλησιον της Βαιθ-αυεν, προς το ανατολικον μερος της Βαιθηλ? και ειπε προς αυτους λεγων, Αναβητε και κατασκοπευσατε την γην. Και οι ανθρωποι ανεβησαν και κατεσκοπευσαν την Γαι.
3 And returning, they said to him: “Let not the entire people go up. Instead, let two or three thousand men go out and destroy the city. Why should all the people be troubled without cause against enemies that are so very few?”	3 Και επιστρεψαντες προς τον Ιησουν ειπαν προς αυτον, Ας μη αναβη πας ο λαος, αλλ' ως δυο η τρεις χιλιαδες ανδρες ας αναβωσι και ας παταξωσι την Γαι? μη βαλης παντα τον λαον εις κοπον φερων αυτον εως εκει? διοτι ειναι ολιγοι.
4 Therefore, they went up with three thousand fighters. And they promptly turned their backs,	4 Και ανεβησαν εκει εκ του λαου ως τρεις χιλιαδες ανδρες? και εφυγον απο προσωπου των ανδρων της Γαι.
5 and were struck down by the men of the city of Ai. And thirty-six men of them fell. And the adversaries pursued them from the gate, even as far as Shebarim. And they felled them as they were fleeing downward. And the heart of the people was struck with fear, and it melted like water.	5 Και οι ανδρες της Γαι επαταξαν εξ αυτων εως τριακοντα εξ ανδρας? και κατεδιωξαν αυτους απ' εμπροσθεν της πυλης εως Σιβαρειμ, και επαταξαν αυτους εις το κατωφερες? δια το οποιον αι καρδιαι του λαου διελυθησαν, και εγειναν ως υδωρ.
6 And truly, Joshua tore his garments, and he fell prone on the ground before the ark of the Lord, even until evening, both he and all the elders of Israel. And they cast dust upon their heads.	6 Και διερρηξεν ο Ιησους τα ιματια αυτου, και επεσε κατα γης επι προσωπον αυτου, εμπροσθεν της κιβωτου του Κυριου εως εσπερας, αυτος και οι πρεσβυτεροι του Ισραηλ, και επεθεσαν χωμα επι τας κεφαλας αυτων.
7 And Joshua said: “Alas, O Lord God! Why would you want to lead this people over the river Jordan, so that you might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us? I wish that we had remained beyond the Jordan, as when we began.	7 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους, Α Δεσποτα Κυριε, δια τι διεβιβασας τον λαον τουτον δια του Ιορδανου, δια να μας παραδωσης εις τας χειρας των Αμορραιων, ωστε να αφανισωσιν ημας; ειθε να ευχαριστουμεθα καθημενοι περαν του Ιορδανου
8 My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies?	8 Ω Κυριε, τι να ειπω, αφου ο Ισραηλ εστρεψε τα νωτα εμπροσθεν των εχθρων αυτου;
9 The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and coming together as one, they will surround us, and they will wipe our name from the earth. And what will you do concerning your great name?”	9 και ακουσαντες οι Χαναναιοι και παντες οι κατοικοι της γης, θελουσι περικυκλωσει ημας και εξαλειψει το ονομα ημων απο της γης? και τι θελεις καμει περι του ονοματος σου του μεγαλου;
10 And the Lord said to Joshua: “Rise up. Why are you lying flat on the ground?	10 Και ειπε Κυριος προς τον Ιησουν, Σηκωθητι? δια τι επεσες ουτως επι το προσωπον σου;
11 Israel has sinned and transgressed my covenant. And they have taken from what is anathema. And they have stolen and lied, and they have hidden it among their goods.	11 ημαρτησεν ο Ισραηλ, και μαλιστα παρεβησαν την διαθηκην μου, την οποιαν προσεταξα αυτους? και ετι ελαβον απο του αναθεματος και ετι εκλεψαν και ετι εψευσθησαν και ετι εβαλον αυτο εις τα σκευη αυτων?
12 Israel is not able to stand before his enemies, and he will flee from them. For he has been defiled by what is anathema. I will be no longer be with you, until you destroy him who is guilty of this wickedness.	12 δια τουτο δεν θελουσι δυνηθη οι υιοι Ισραηλ να σταθωσιν εμπροσθεν των εχθρων αυτων, αλλα θελουσι στρεψει τα νωτα εμπροσθεν των εχθρων αυτων, διοτι εγειναν αναθεμα? ουδε θελω εισθαι πλεον με σας, εαν δεν εξαλειψητε το αναθεμα εκ μεσου σας?
13 Rise up. Sanctify the people. And you shall say to them: ‘Be sanctified tomorrow. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: That which is anathema is in your midst, O Israel! You are not able to stand before your enemies, until he who has been contaminated by this wickedness is taken away from you.’	13 σηκωθεις αγιασον τον λαον και ειπε, Αγιασθητε δια την αυριον? διοτι ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος του Ισραηλ? Αναθεμα ειναι εν τω μεσω σου, Ισραηλ? δεν δυνασαι να σταθης εμπροσθεν των εχθρων σου, εωσου αφαιρεσητε το αναθεμα εκ μεσου σας?
14 And you shall draw near in the morning, each one by your tribes. And whichever tribe will be found by lot shall come forward by its families, and the families by houses, and the house by the men.	14 προσελθετε λοιπον το πρωι κατα τας φυλας σας? και η φυλη, την οποιαν πιαση ο Κυριος, θελει προσελθει κατα συγγενειας? και η συγγενεια, την οποιαν πιαση ο Κυριος, θελει προσελθει κατ' οικογενειας? και η οικογενεια, την οποιαν πιαση ο Κυριος, θελει προσελθει κατα ανδρας?
15 And whoever he may be that will be found guilty of this deed, he shall be burnt with fire with all his substance. For he transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and he committed a wicked act in Israel.”	15 και οστις πιασθη εχων το αναθεμα, θελει κατακαυθη εν πυρι, αυτος και παντα οσα εχει? διοτι παρεβη την διαθηκην του Κυριου και διοτι επραξεν ανομιαν εν τω Ισραηλ.
16 And so Joshua, rising in the morning, brought forth Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was found.	16 Και εξεγερθεις ο Ιησους το πρωι, προσηγαγε τον Ισραηλ κατα τας φυλας αυτων? και επιασθη η φυλη του Ιουδα?
17 And when its families had been presented, the family of Zerah was found. Likewise, bringing that one forward by the houses, he discovered Zabdi.	17 και προσηγαγε τας συγγενειας του Ιουδα, και επιασθη η συγγενεια των Ζαραιτων? και προσηγαγε την συγγενειαν των Ζαραιτων κατα ανδρας, και επιασθη ο Ζαβδι?
18 And dividing his house by each man, he found Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah.	18 και προσηγαγε την οικογενειαν αυτου κατα ανδρας, και επιασθη ο Αχαν, ο υιος του Χαρμι, υιου του Ζαβδι, υιου του Ζερα, εκ της φυλης Ιουδα.
19 And Joshua said to Achan: “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess, and reveal to me what you have done. You may not conceal it.”	19 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους προς τον Αχαν, Τεκνον μου, δος τωρα δοξαν εις Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ, και εξομολογηθητι εις αυτον, και ειπε μοι τωρα τι επραξας? μη κρυψης αυτο απ' εμου.
20 And Achan responded to Joshua, and he said to him: “Truly, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and I have done one thing and another.	20 Και απεκριθη ο Αχαν προς τον Ιησουν και ειπε, Αληθως εγω ημαρτον εις Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ και επραξα ουτω και ουτω?
21 For I saw among the spoils a very fine scarlet cloak, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a gold bar of fifty shekels. And coveting these, I took and hid them in the ground near the middle of my tent, and I covered the silver with the soil that I had dug.”	21 ιδων μεταξυ των λαφυρων μιαν καλην Βαβυλωνικην στολην και διακοσιους σικλους αργυριου και ελασμα χρυσου βαρους πεντηκοντα σικλων, επεθυμησα αυτα και ελαβον αυτα? και ιδου, ειναι κεκρυμμενα εν τη γη, κατα το μεσον της σκηνης μου, και το αργυριον υποκατω αυτων.
22 Therefore, Joshua sent ministers, who, running to his tent, discovered everything hidden in the same place, together with the silver.	22 Και απεστειλεν ο Ιησους ανθρωπους? και ετρεξαν εις την σκηνην, και ιδου, ησαν κεκρυμμενα εν τη σκηνη αυτου, και το αργυριον υποκατω αυτων.
23 And taking these from the tent, they brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they cast them down before the Lord.	23 Και ελαβον αυτα εκ μεσου της σκηνης, και εφεραν αυτα προς τον Ιησουν και προς παντας τους υιους Ισραηλ, και εθεσαν αυτα ενωπιον του Κυριου.
24 And so Joshua took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the cloak, and the gold bar, also his sons and daughters, the oxen and donkeys and sheep, and even the tent and all his goods, (and all of Israel went with him,) and he brought these to the valley of Achor.	24 Τοτε ο Ιησους, και πας ο Ισραηλ μετ' αυτου, επιασαν τον Αχαν τον υιον του Ζερα, και το αργυριον και την στολην και το ελασμα του χρυσου και τους υιους αυτου και τας θυγατερας αυτου και τους βοας αυτου και τους ονους αυτου και τα προβατα αυτου και την σκηνην αυτου και παντα οσα ειχε, και εφεραν αυτους εις την κοιλαδα Αχωρ.
25 There, Joshua said: “Because you have troubled us, the Lord troubles you, on this day.” And all of Israel stoned him. And all the things that were his were consumed by fire.	25 Και ειπεν ο Ιησους, Δια τι κατεταραξας ημας; ο Κυριος θελει σε καταταραξει την ημεραν ταυτην. Και πας ο Ισραηλ ελιθοβολησαν αυτον με λιθους και κατεκαυσαν αυτους εν πυρι και ελιθοβολησαν αυτους με λιθους.
26 And they gathered upon him a great pile of stones, which remains even to the present day. And the fury of the Lord was averted from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, even to this day.	26 Και εστησαν επ' αυτον σωρον λιθων μεγαν, οστις μενει εως της σημερον? ουτως επαυσεν ο Κυριος απο της εξαψεως του θυμου αυτου? δια τουτο καλειται το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου Κοιλας Αχωρ εως της ημερας ταυτης.
