Abayisirayiri balinnyibwa ku nfeete mu kibuga Ayi
7 (A)Abayisirayiri ne basobya bwe baatwala ku bintu ebyali ebiwonge; Akani mutabani wa Kaluni muzzukulu wa Zabudi era muzzukulu wa Zeera ow’omu kika kya Yuda, ne yeetwalira ebimu ku bintu ebyo: bw’atyo Mukama n’asunguwalira nnyo eggwanga lya Isirayiri.
2 (B)Yoswa n’asindika abasajja okuva e Yeriko bagende mu kitundu kye Ayi okuliraana Besaveni ebuvanjuba wa Beseri, n’abakuutira nti, “Mugende mukette ensi eyo.” Nabo ne bagenda ne baketta Ayi.
3 Ne bakomawo ne bategeeza Yoswa nti, “Tosindika bantu bangi kulumba Ayi wabula weerezaayo abantu nga enkumi bbiri oba ssatu be baba balumba. Toweerezaayo bantu bonna kubanga ab’omu Ayi si bangi.” 4 (C)Abayisirayiri ng’enkumi ssatu ne boolekera Ayi, kyokka abasajja be Ayi ne babafubutula emisinde 5 (D)okubaggya ku wankaaki w’ekibuga okubatuusiza ddala emitala wa Sebalimu era Abayisirayiri ng’amakumi asatu mu mukaaga ne battibwa. Entiisa ne buutikira Abayisirayiri; emitima ne gibayenjebuka.
6 (E)Yoswa n’abakulembeze b’Abayisirayiri ne bayuza ebyambalo byabwe ne beesiiga enfuufu mu mitwe gyabwe era ne beeyala ku ttaka mu maaso g’Essanduuko ya Mukama okuzibya obudde. 7 (F)Yoswa n’agamba nti, “Mukama Katonda nga kitalo kino! Wasomosezaaki Abayisirayiri omugga Yoludaani ate n’obaleka bazikirizibwe Abamoli? Bwe twali tukyali emitala wa Yoludaani tetwaliko kabi n’akatono! 8 Ayi Mukama, Isirayiri adduse abalabe baabwe, nze nnaayogera ki kaakano! 9 (G)Abakanani n’abali mu kitundu ekyo kyonna bwe banaakiwulira bajja kutwebungulula batusaanyeewo. Olwo erinnya lyo ekkulu bwe lityo liriba terikyavuga.”
10 Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Golokoka. Kiki ekikuvuunamizza ku ttaka? 11 (H)Isirayiri eyonoonye kubanga bavudde ku ndagaano gye nabakuutira, ne batwala ku bintu ebiwonge, ne babitabika mu byabwe ate ne balimba. 12 (I)Ka mbabuulire, okuggyako nga muzikiriza omubi ali mu mmwe, Abayisirayiri tebayinza kwolekera balabe baabwe, babadduka buddusi, kubanga nsazeewo bazikirizibwe.
13 (J)“Golokoka otukuze abantu era obategeeze beetukuze nga beetegekera olw’enkya bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri. Waliwo ebikwekeddwa mu mmwe; okuggyako nga mubikwekula temuyinza kuwangula balabe bammwe.
14 (K)“ ‘Enkya mujjire mu bika byammwe, buli kika Mukama ky’anaalondamu kinaasembera luggya ku luggya, n’oluggya Mukama lw’anaalondamu lunajja nju ku nju, era enju Mukama gy’anaalondamu enejja muntu ku muntu. 15 (L)Naye oyo anaasangibwa n’ebintu ebiwonge anaayokebwa mu muliro ye n’ebyo byonna by’alina, kubanga amenye endagaano ya Mukama n’avumaganya Isirayiri.’ ”
Akani Akubwa Amayinja
16 Yoswa yakeera nnyo n’akuŋŋaanya ebika byonna, yasookera ku kika kya Yuda era n’asembeza enju ya Yuda: 17 (M)n’alondamu abo abazaalibwa Zeera, ate mu nju ya Zeera n’alondamu Zabudi n’ennyumba ye: 18 ate mu bo n’alondamu Akani omwana wa Kalumi, muzzukulu wa Zabudi, muzzukulu wa Zeera ow’omu kika kya Yuda.
19 (N)Yoswa n’agamba Akani nti, “Mwana wange njagala oweese Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri ekitiibwa era omugulumizise, ombuulire ky’okoze, tonkisa.”
20 Akani n’addamu nti, “Mazima nayonoona eri Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri era kino kye nakola. 21 (O)Bwe nalaba nga mu munyago mulimu ekyambalo ekirungi ekyava e Sinaali[a] n’ensimbi, n’effeeza ne zaabu ne mbyegomba, bwe ntyo ne mbitwala ne mbisimira mu ttaka mu weema yange.”
22 Yoswa n’atuma ababaka mu weema ya Akani era ne babisangayo ng’abisimidde mu ttaka. 23 Ne babifulumya ne babireeta eri Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna, ne babissa mu maaso ga Mukama.
24 (P)Yoswa n’Abayisirayiri bonna ne bakwata Akani muzzukulu wa Zeera ne bye yanyaga: effeeza, ne zaabu, n’ekyambalo. Ne bamutwala ne batabani be, ne bawala be, n’ente ze n’endogoyi ze, n’endiga ze, n’eweema ye ne byonna bye yalina ne babiserengesa mu kiwonvu Akoli. 25 (Q)Yoswa n’abuuza Akani nti, “Lwaki watuleetera ensasagge eno? Nga bwe wakola bw’otyo olwa leero naawe onookiraba Mukama ky’anaakukola.”
Abayisirayiri bonna ne bayiikira Akani, n’abaana be n’ebintu bye ne babakuba amayinja ne babatta era ne babakumako omuliro. 26 (R)Ne balyoka babatuumako amayinja, n’okutuusa kaakano entuumu y’amayinja eyo gagadde ekyaliwo. Mukama n’alekera awo okukambuwalira Abayisirayiri, ekiwonvu mwe babattira kyekyava kiyitibwa Akoli n’okutuusa kaakano.

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.
