7 — Giosuè

1But the children of Israel transgressed the commandment, and took to their own use of that which was accursed. For Achan, the son of Charmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zare, of the tribe of Juda, took something of the anathema: and the Lord was angry against the children of Israel.Ma i figliuoli d'Israele trasgredirono il comando, e si appropriarono dell'anatema. Imperocché Achan figliuolo di Charmi, figliuolo di Zabdi, figliuolo di Zare della tribù di Giuda prese qualche cosa dell'anatema: e il Signore si adirò contro i figliuoli d'Israele.BVT the children of Israel transgressed the commandment, & vsurped of the anathema. For Achan the sonne of Charmi, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zare of the tribe of Iuda, tooke somewhat of the anathema: and our Lord was angrie against the children of Israel.Filii autem Israël prævaricati sunt mandatum, et usurpaverunt de anathemate. Nam Achan filius Charmi filii Zabdi filii Zare de tribu Juda tulit aliquid de anathemate: iratusque est Dominus contra filios Israël. 2And when Josue sent men from Jericho against Hai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of the town of Bethel, he said to them: Go up, and view the country: and they fulfilled his command, and viewed Hai.E Giosuè mandando gente da Gerico verso Hai che è vicina a Bethaven all'oriente della città di Bethel, disse loro: Andate, e osservate il paese. E quegli adempiendo il comando considerarono la città di Hai.And when Iosue sent from Iericho men against Hai, which is beside Bethauen, at the East side of the towne of Bethel, he said to them: Goe vp, and view the Land: who accomplishing his commandmentes, viewed Hai.Cumque mitteret Josue de Jericho viros contra Hai, quæ est juxta Bethaven, ad orientalem plagam oppidi Bethel, dixit eis: Ascendite, et explorate terram. Qui præcepta complentes exploraverunt Hai. 3And returning, they said to him: Let not all the people go up, but let two or three thousand men go, and destroy the city: why should all the people be troubled in vain, against enemies that are very few?E al loro ritorno dissero: Non si muova tutto il popolo: ma due, o tre mila uomini vadano a distruggere quella città: perchè defatigar tutto il popolo inutilmente per pochissimi nemici?And returning they said to him: Let not al the people goe vp, but let two or three thousand men goe, and destroy the citie: why shal al the people be vexed in vaine against verie few enemies?Et reversi dixerunt ei: Non ascendat omnis populus, sed duo vel tria millia virorum pergant, et deleant civitatem: quare omnis populus frustra vexabitur contra hostes paucissimos ? 4There went up therefore three thousand fighting men: who immediately turned their backs,Andarono adunque tre mila combattenti. Ma questi voltaron presto le spalle,There went vp therfore three thousand fighting men. Who immediatly turning their backes,Ascenderunt ergo tria millia pugnatorum. Qui statim terga vertentes, 5And were defeated by the men of the city of Hai, and there fell of them six and thirty men: and the enemies pursued them from the gate as far as Sabarim, and they slew them as they fled by the descent: and the heart of the people was struck with fear, and melted like water.Avendo lor dato addosso gli uomini della città di Hai; e moriron di essi trentasei persone: e i nemici gl'inseguirono dalla porta (di Hai) fino a Sabarim, e uccisero quei che fuggivano per luoghi declivi: e il cuore del popolo s'intimidì, e si scioglieva come acqua.were strooken of the men of the citie of Hai, and there fel of them six and thirtie men: and the aduersaries pursewed them from the gate as farre as Sabarim, and they stricke them flying away by the descent: and the hart of the people was much afrayd, and melted like vnto water.percussi sunt a viris urbis Hai, et corruerunt ex eis triginta sex homines: persecutique sunt eos adversarii de porta usque ad Sabarim, et ceciderunt per prona fugientes: pertimuitque cor populi, et instar aquæ liquefactum est.

6But Josue rent his garments, and fell flat on the ground, before the ark of the Lord, until the evening, both he and all the ancients of Israel: and they put dust upon their heads.Ma Giosuè stracciò le sue vesti, e stette prostrato per terra dinanzi all'arca del Signore, fino alla sera si egli, che tutti i seniori d'Israele: e si gettavan polvere sulle teste;But Iosue rent his garmentes, and fel flatte on the ground before the arke of our Lord vntil euening, as wel he as al the ancientes of Israel: and they cast dust vpon their heades,Josue vero scidit vestimenta sua, et pronus cecidit in terram coram arca Domini usque ad vesperam, tam ipse quam omnes senes Israël: miseruntque pulverem super capita sua, 7And Josue said: Alas, O Lord God, why wouldst thou bring this people over the river Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and to destroy us? would God we had stayed beyond the Jordan, as we began.E disse Giosuè: Ahi, Signore Dio, perchè mai volesti tu trasportare di qua dal fiume Giordano questo popolo per darci nelle mani degli Amorrhei, e sterminarci? Fossimo noi rimasi di là dal Giordano, come avevam cominciato.and Iosue said: Alas ô Lord God, why wouldest thou bring this people ouer the riuer of Iordan, to deliuer vs into the handes of the Amorrheite, and to destroy vs, would God as we beganne, we had taried beyond Iordan.et dixit Josue: Heu Domine Deus, quid voluisti traducere populum istum Jordanem fluvium, ut traderes nos in manus Amorrhæi, et perderes ? utinam ut cœpimus, mansissemus trans Jordanem. 8My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies?Mio Signore Dio, che dirò, veggendo io Israele volgere le spalle a' suoi nemici?My Lord God what shal I say, seeing Israel turning their backes to their enemies?Mi Domine Deus, quid dicam, videns Israëlem hostibus suis terga vertentem ? 9The Chanaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land, will hear of it, and being gathered together will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do to thy great name?Lo sentiran dire i Cananei, e tutti gli abitanti di questa terra, e uniti insieme ci stringeranno, e sperderanno il nome nostro dalla terra: e che farai tu del nome tuo grande?The Chananeites shal heare of it, and al the inhabitantes of the Land, and being gathered together in a plumpe shal compasse vs about, & shal destroy our name from the earth: and what wilt thou doe to thy greate name?Audient Chananæi, et omnes habitatores terræ, et pariter conglobati circumdabunt nos, atque delebunt nomen nostrum de terra: et quid facies magno nomini tuo ?

10And the Lord said to Josue: Arise, why liest thou flat on the ground?E il Signore disse a Giosuè: Alzati, perchè stai tu prostrato per terra?And our Lord said to Iosue: Arise, why liest thou flatte on the ground?Dixitque Dominus ad Josue: Surge: cur jaces pronus in terra ? 11Israel hath sinned, and transgressed my covenant: and they have taken of the anathema, and have stolen and lied, and have hid it among their goods.Israele ha peccato, e ha trasgredito il mio patto: e si sono appropriati dell'anatema, e hanno fatto furto, e hanno mentito, e l'hanno nascosto tra le robe loro.Israel hath sinned, and transgressed my couenant: and they haue taken of the anathema, and haue stolen and lyed, and haue hid it among their vessel.Peccavit Israël, et prævaricatus est pactum meum: tuleruntque de anathemate, et furati sunt atque mentiti, et absconderunt inter vasa sua. 12Neither can Israel stand before his enemies, but he shall flee from them: because he is defiled with the anathema. I will be no more with you, till you destroy him that is guilty of this wickedness.Non potrà Israele stare a petto co' suoi nemici, e li fuggirà; perchè è contaminato a cagion dell'anatema: io non sarò più con voi, se prima non isterminate colui che è reo di tale scelleraggine.Neither can Israel stand before his enemies, and he shal flee them: because he is polluted with the anathema. I wil be no more with you, til you dispatch him, that is guiltie of this wicked fact.Nec poterit Israël stare ante hostes suos, eosque fugiet: quia pollutus est anathemate. Non ero ultra vobiscum, donec conteratis eum qui hujus sceleris reus est. 13Arise, sanctify the people, and say to them: Be ye sanctified against tomorrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel: The curse is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, till he be destroyed out of thee, that is defiled with this wickedness.Alzati, purifica il popolo, e di' loro: Santificatevi pel dì seguente: perocché queste cose dice il Signore Dio d'Israele: L'anatema è in mezzo a te, o Israele: tu non potrai stare a petto de' tuoi nemici, sino a tanto che sia tolto dal tuo ceto colui che è macchiato di tal delitto.Arise, sanctifie the people, and say to them: Be sanctified against to morrow: for thus saith our Lord God of Israel: There is anathema in the middes of thee o Israel: thou canst not stand before thyne enemies, til he be destroyed out of thee that is contaminated with this wicked fact.Surge, sanctifica populum, et dic eis: Sanctificamini in crastinum: hæc enim dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Anathema in medio tui est, Israël: non poteris stare coram hostibus tuis, donec deleatur ex te qui hoc contaminatus est scelere.

14And you shall come in the morning, every one by your tribes: and what tribe soever the lot shall find, it shall come by its kindreds, and the kindred by its houses and the house by the men.E domane vi presenterete ciascuno nelle vostre tribù, e la tribù che sarà tirata a sorte, si presenterà famiglia per famiglia, e casa per casa, e uomo per uomo.And you shal come in the morning euerie one by your tribes: and what tribe soeuer the lote shal finde, it shal come by the kindredes therof, the kinred by the houses, and the house by the men.Accedetisque mane singuli per tribus vestras: et quamcumque tribum sors invenerit, accedet per cognationes suas, et cognatio per domos, domusque per viros. 15And whosoever he be that shall be found guilty of this fact, he shall be burnt with fire, with all his substance, because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and hath done wickedness in Israel.E chiunque sarà scoperto reo di tal delitto, sarà abbruciato con tutte le cose sue, perchè egli ha violalo il patto del Signore, e ha fatto cosa nefanda in Israele.And whosoeuer he be that shal be taken in this fact, he shal be burnt in the fyre with al his substance, because he hath transgressed the couenāt of our Lord, and hath done abomination in Israel.Et quicumque ille in hoc facinore fuerit deprehensus, comburetur igni cum omni substantia sua: quoniam prævaricatus est pactum Domini, et fecit nefas in Israël. 16Josue, therefore, when he rose in the morning, made Israel to come by their tribes, and the tribe of Juda was found.Alzatosi adunque Giosuè la mattina, fece venire Israele tribù per tribù, e venne la sorte della tribù di Giuda.Iosue therfore rysing in the morning, made Israel to come by their tribes, and it was found the tribe of Iuda.Surgens itaque Josue mane, applicuit Israël per tribus suas, et inventa est tribus Juda. 17Which being brought by in families, it was found to be the family of Zare. Bringing that also by the houses, he found it to be Zabdi:Ed essendosi presentata questa divisa nelle sue famiglie, venne la sorte della famiglia di Zare. E questa essendosi presentata casa per casa, venne la sorte della casa di Zabdi:Which being presented by the families therof, it was found the familie of Zare. Presenting that also by the houses, he found it Zabdi:Quæ cum juxta familias suas esset oblata, inventa est familia Zare. Illam quoque per domos offerens, reperit Zabdi: 18And bringing his house man by man, he found Achan, the son of Charmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zare, of the tribe of Juda.E presi di questa casa gli uomini ad uno ad uno, venne la sorte sopra Achan figliuolo di Charmi, figliuolo di Zabdi, figliuolo di Zare della tribù di Giuda.whose house diuiding into euerie man, he found Achan the sonne of Charmi, the sonne of Zabdi: the sonne of Zare of the tribe of Iuda.cujus domum in singulos dividens viros, invenit Achan filium Charmi filii Zabdi filii Zare de tribu Juda.

19And Josue said to Achan: My son, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and confess, and tell me what thou hast done, hide it not.E Giosuè disse ad Achan: Figliuolo mio, dà gloria al Signore Dio d'Israele, e confessa, e dimmi quello che hai fatto; nol celare.And Iosue said to Achan: My sonne, geue glorie to our Lord God of Israel, and confesse, and tel me what thou hast done, hide it not.Et ait Josue ad Achan: Fili mi, da gloriam Domino Deo Israël, et confitere, atque indica mihi quid feceris, ne abscondas. 20And Achan answered Josue, and said to him: Indeed I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.E Achan rispose a Giosuè, e dissegli: Veramente io ho peccato contro il Signore Dio d'Israele, e feci così.And Achan answered Iosue, and said to him: In deede I haue sinned to our Lord the God of Israel, and thus and thus haue I done.Responditque Achan Josue, et dixit ei: Vere ego peccavi Domino Deo Israël, et sic et sic feci. 21For I saw among the spoils a scarlet garment, exceeding good, and two hundred sicles of silver, and a golden rule of fifty sicles: and I coveted them, and I took them away, and hid them in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver I covered with the earth that I dug up.Io osservai tra le spoglie un mantello di scarlatto assai buono, e dugento sicli d'argento, e una lamina di oro di cinquanta sicli, e per bramosia li presi, e gli ascosi sotto terra nel mezzo della mia tenda, e ricopersi l'argento colla terra che io avea scavata.For I saw among the spoiles a cloke of scarlet verie good, and two hundred sicles of siluer, and a golden rule of fiftie sicles: and coueting I tooke it away, and hid it in the ground against the middes of my tabernacle, and the siluer I couered with the earth digged vp.Vidi enim inter spolia pallium coccineum valde bonum, et ducentos siclos argenti, regulamque auream quinquaginta siclorum: et concupiscens abstuli, et abscondi in terra contra medium tabernaculi mei, argentumque fossa humo operui. 22Josue therefore sent ministers: who running to his tent, found all hid in the same place, together with the silver.Giosuè adunque spedì i ministri, i quali essendo andati di corsa alla tenda di lui, trovarono ogni cosa nascosta nello stesso luogo, e insieme l'argento.Iosue therfore sent ministers: who running to his tabernacle, found al thinges hid in the same place, and the siluer withal.Misit ergo Josue ministros: qui currentes ad tabernaculum illius, repererunt cuncta abscondita in eodem loco, et argentum simul.

23And taking them away out of the tent, they brought them to Josue, and to all the children of Israel, and threw them down before the Lord.E messe fuor della tenda tutte quelle cose, le recarono dinanzi a Giosuè, e a tutti i figliuoli d'Israele, e le gettarono al cospetto del Signore.And taking it away out of the rent, brought it to Iosue, and to al the children of Israel, and threw it before our Lord.Auferentesque de tentorio, tulerunt ea ad Josue, et ad omnes filios Israël, projeceruntque ante Dominum. 24Then Josue, and all Israel with him, took Achan, the son of Zare, and the silver, and the garment, and the golden rule, his sons also, and his daughters, his oxen, and asses, and sheep, the tent also, and all the goods: and brought them to the valley of Achor:Allora Giosuè, e con lui tutto Israele presero Achan figliuolo di Zare, e l'argento, e il mantello, e la lamina d'oro, e anche i figliuoli di lui, e le figlie, e i bovi, e gli asini, e le pecore, e a sua tenda, con tutte le sue robe, e li condussero nella valle di Achor:Iosue therfore taking Achan the sonne of Zare, and the siluer and the cloke, and the golden rule, his sonnes also and daughters, his oxen and asses, and sheepe, and the tabernacle it self, and al the stuffe: (and al Israel with him) they brought them to the valley of Achor:Tollens itaque Josue Achan filium Zare, argentumque et pallium, et auream regulam, filios quoque et filias ejus, boves et asinos et oves, ipsumque tabernaculum, et cunctam supellectilem (et omnis Israël cum eo), duxerunt eos ad vallem Achor: 25Where Josue said: Because thou hast troubled us, the Lord trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him: and all things that were his, were consumed with fire.E ivi disse a lui Giosuè: Dappoiché tu hai dato disturbo a noi, il Signore sturberà te in questo giorno: e tutto Israele lo lapidò, e tutte le cose di lui furon date alle fiamme.where Iosue said: Because thou hast disturbed vs, our Lord disturbe thee in this day. And al Israel stoned him: and al thinges that were his, were consumed with fyre.ubi dixit Josue: Quia turbasti nos, exturbet te Dominus in die hac. Lapidavitque eum omnis Israël: et cuncta quæ illius erant, igne consumpta sunt. 26And they gathered together upon him a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day And the wrath of the Lord was turned away from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, until this day.È ammassaron sopra di lui un gran mucchio di pietre, che è restato sino al dì d'oggi. E da lor si ritrasse il furor del Signore. E fu chiamato quel luogo la valle di Achor sino al dì d'oggi.And gathered together vpon him a greate heape of stones, which remaineth vntil this present day. And the furie of our Lord was auerted from them. And the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, vntil this day.Congregaveruntque super eum acervum magnum lapidum, qui permanet usque in præsentem diem. Et aversus est furor Domini ab eis. Vocatumque est nomen loci illius, vallis Achor, usque hodie.
