Giosuè 7

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Filii autem Israel praevaricati sunt mandatum et usurpaverunt de anathemate: nam Achan filius Charmi filii Zabdi filii Zarae de tribu Iudae tulit aliquid de anathemate. Iratusque est Dominus contra filios Israel.	1 But the Israelites violated the ban; Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zerah, son of Zara of the tribe of Judah, took goods that were under the ban, and the anger of the LORD flared up against the Israelites.
2 Cumque mitteret Iosue de Iericho viros contra Hai, quae est iuxta Bethaven ad orientalem plagam oppidi Bethel, dixit eis: “ Ascendite et explorate terram ”. Qui praecepta complentes exploraverunt Hai	2 Joshua next sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Bethel on its eastern side, with instructions to go up and reconnoiter the land. When they had explored Ai,
3 et reversi dixerunt ei: “ Non ascendat omnis populus, sed duo vel tria milia virorum pergant et deleant civitatem. Noli vexare omnem populum contra hostes paucissimos ”.	3 they returned to Joshua and advised, "Do not send all the people up; if only about two or three thousand go up, they can overcome Ai. The enemy there are few; you need not call for an effort from all the people."
4 Ascenderunt ergo tria fere milia pugnatorum, qui statim terga verterunt coram viris urbis Hai,	4 About three thousand of the people made the attack, but they were defeated by those at Ai,
5 qui percusserunt ex eis circiter triginta et sex homines persecutique sunt eos de porta usque ad Sabarim et percusserunt eos in descensu; pertimuitque cor populi et instar aquae liquefactum est.	5 who killed some thirty-six of them. They pressed them back across the clearing in front of the city gate till they broke ranks, and defeated them finally on the descent, so that the confidence of the people melted away like water.
6 Iosue vero scidit vestimenta sua et cecidit pronus in terram coram arca Domini usque ad vesperum, tam ipse quam omnes senes Israel; miseruntque pulverem super capita sua.	6 Joshua, together with the elders of Israel, rent his garments and lay prostrate before the ark of the LORD until evening; and they threw dust on their heads.
7 Et dixit Iosue: “ Heu, Domine Deus, quid voluisti traducere populum istum Iordanem fluvium, ut traderes nos in manus Amorraei et perderes? Utinam mansissemus trans Iordanem!	7 "Alas, O Lord GOD," Joshua prayed, "why did you ever allow this people to pass over the Jordan, delivering us into the power of the Amorites, that they might destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan.
8 Quaeso, Domine, quid dicam videns Israelem hostibus suis terga vertentem?	8 Pray, Lord, what can I say, now that Israel has turned its back to its enemies?
9 Audient Chananaei et omnes habitatores terrae ac pariter conglobati circumdabunt nos atque delebunt nomen nostrum de terra. Et quid facies magno nomini tuo? ”.	9 When the Canaanites and the other inhabitants of the land hear of it, they will close in around us and efface our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?"
10 Dixitque Dominus ad Iosue: “ Surge! Cur iaces pronus in terra?	10 The LORD replied to Joshua: "Stand up. Why are you lying prostrate?
11 Peccavit Israel et praevaricatus est pactum meum, quod mandaveram eis; tuleruntque de anathemate et furati sunt atque mentiti et absconderunt inter vasa sua.	11 Israel has sinned: they have violated the covenant which I enjoined on them. They have stealthily taken goods subject to the ban, and have deceitfully put them in their baggage.
12 Nec poterunt filii Israel stare ante hostes suos eosque fugient, quia facti sunt anathema; non ero ultra vobiscum, donec conteratis anathema de medio vestri.	12 If the Israelites cannot stand up to their enemies, but must turn their back to them, it is because they are under the ban. I will not remain with you unless you remove from among you whoever has incurred the ban.
13 Surge! Sanctifica populum et dic eis: Sanctificamini in crastinum. Haec enim dicit Dominus, Deus Israel: Anathema in medio tui est, Israel! Non poteris stare coram hostibus tuis, donec auferatis anathema de medio vestri.	13 Rise, sanctify the people. Tell them to sanctify themselves before tomorrow, for the LORD, the God of Israel, says: You are under the ban, O Israel. You cannot stand up to your enemies until you remove from among you whoever has incurred the ban.
14 Accedetisque mane singuli per tribus vestras; et quamcumque tribum Dominus designaverit, accedet per cognationes suas et cognatio per domos domusque per viros:	14 In the morning you must present yourselves by tribes. The tribe which the LORD designates shall come forward by clans; the clan which the LORD designates shall come forward by families; the family which the LORD designates shall come forward one by one.
15 et quicumque ille in hoc facinore fuerit deprehensus, comburetur igni cum omnibus, quae ipsius sunt, quoniam praevaricatus est pactum Domini et fecit nefas in Israel ”.	15 He who is designated as having incurred the ban shall be destroyed by fire, with all that is his, because he has violated the covenant of the LORD and has committed a shameful crime in Israel."
16 Surgens itaque Iosue mane applicuit Israel per tribus suas, et inventa est tribus Iudae.	16 Early the next morning Joshua had Israel come forward by tribes, and the tribe of Judah was designated.
17 Quae cum iuxta familias suas esset oblata, inventa est familia Zarae; illam quoque per domos offerens repperit Zabdi.	17 Then he had the clans of Judah come forward, and the clan of Zerah was designated. He had the clan of Zerah come forward by families, and Zabdi was designated.
18 Cuius domum in singulos dividens viros invenit Achan filium Charmi filii Zabdi filii Zarae de tribu Iudae.	18 Finally he had that family come forward one by one, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah, was designated.
19 Et ait Iosue ad Achan: “ Fili mi, da gloriam Domino, Deo Israel, et confitere atque indica mihi quid feceris; ne abscondas ”.	19 Joshua said to Achan, "My son, give to the LORD, the God of Israel, glory and honor by telling me what you have done; do not hide it from me."
20 Responditque Achan Iosue et dixit ei: “ Vere ego peccavi Domino, Deo Israel, et sic et sic feci:	20 Achan answered Joshua, "I have indeed sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I have done:
21 Vidi enim inter spolia pallium de Sennaar valde bonum et ducentos siclos argenti regulamque auream quinquaginta siclorum; et concupiscens abstuli et abscondi in terra contra medium tabernaculi mei argentumque subter ”.	21 Among the spoils, I saw a beautiful Babylonian mantle, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight; in my greed I took them. They are now hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath."
22 Misit ergo Iosue ministros, qui currentes ad tabernaculum illius reppererunt cuncta abscondita in eodem loco et argentum simul;	22 The messengers whom Joshua sent hastened to the tent and found them hidden there, with the silver underneath.
23 auferentesque de tentorio tulerunt ea ad Iosue et ad omnes filios Israel proieceruntque ante Dominum.	23 They took them from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and spread them out before the LORD.
24 Tollens itaque Iosue Achan filium Zarae argentumque et pallium et auream regulam filiosque eius et filias, boves et asinos et oves ipsumque tabernaculum et cunctam supellectilem — et omnis Israel cum eo — duxerunt eos ad vallem Achor,	24 Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, son of Zerah, with the silver, the mantle, and the bar of gold, and with his sons and daughters, his ox, his ass and his sheep, his tent, and all his possessions, and led them off to the Valley of Achor.
25 ubi dixit Iosue: “ Quia turbasti nos, exturbet te Dominus in die hac ”. Lapidavitque eum omnis Israel; et cuncta, quae illius erant, igne consumpta sunt.	25 Joshua said, "The LORD bring upon you today the misery with which you have afflicted us!" And all Israel stoned him to death
26 Congregaverunt quoque super eum acervum magnum lapidum, qui permanet usque in praesentem diem. Et aversus est furor Domini ab eis; vocatumque est nomen loci illius vallis Achor usque hodie.	26 and piled a great heap of stones over him, which remains to the present day. Then the anger of the LORD relented. That is why the place is called the Valley of Achor to this day.
