Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1But the children of Israel transgressed the commandment, and took to their own use of the anathema. 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.
1以色列 人在當滅的物上犯了罪；因為 猶大 支派中， 謝拉 的曾孫， 撒底 的孫子， 迦米 的兒子 亞干 取了當滅的物；耶和華的怒氣就向 以色列 人發作。
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.
2當下， 約書亞 從 耶利哥 打發人往 伯特利 東邊、靠近 伯‧亞文 的 艾 城去，吩咐他們說：「你們上去窺探那地。」他們就上去窺探 艾 城。
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?
3他們回到 約書亞 那裏，對他說：「眾民不必都上去，只要二三千人上去就能攻取 艾 城；不必勞累眾民都去，因為那裏的人少。」
4There went up therefore three thousand fighting men: who immediately turned their backs,
4於是民中約有三千人上那裏去，竟在 艾 城人面前逃跑了。
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.
5艾 城的人擊殺了他們三十六人，從城門前追趕他們，直到 示巴琳 ，在下坡殺敗他們；眾民的心就消化如水。
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.
6約書亞 便撕裂衣服；他和 以色列 的長老把灰撒在頭上，在耶和華的 約 櫃前俯伏在地，直到晚上。
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.
7約書亞 說：「哀哉！主耶和華啊，你為甚麼竟領這百姓過 約旦河 ，將我們交在 亞摩利 人的手中，使我們滅亡呢？我們不如住在 約旦河 那邊倒好。
8My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies?
8主啊， 以色列 人既在仇敵面前轉背 逃跑 ，我還有甚麼可說的呢？
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?
9迦南 人和這地一切的居民聽見了就必圍困我們，將我們的名從地上除滅。那時你為你的大名要怎樣行呢？」
10And the Lord said to Josue: Arise, why liest thou flat on the ground?
10耶和華吩咐 約書亞 說：「起來！你為何這樣俯伏在地呢？
11Israel hath sinned, and transgressed my covenant: and they have taken of the anathema, and have stolen and lied, and have hidden it among their goods.
11以色列 人犯了罪，違背了我所吩咐他們的約，取了當滅的物；又偷竊，又行詭詐，又把那當滅的放在他們的家具裏。
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.
12因此， 以色列 人在仇敵面前站立不住。他們在仇敵面前轉背 逃跑 ，是因成了被咒詛的；你們若不把當滅的物從你們中間除掉，我就不再與你們同在了。
13Arise, sanctify the people, and say to them: Be ye sanctified against tomorrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel: The anathema 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.
13你起來，叫百姓自潔，對他們說：『你們要自潔，預備明天，因為耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝這樣說： 以色列 啊，你們中間有當滅的物，你們若不除掉，在仇敵面前必站立不住！』
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.
14到了早晨，你們要按着支派近前來；耶和華所取的支派，要按着宗族近前來；耶和華所取的宗族，要按着家室近前來；耶和華所取的家室，要按着人丁，一個一個地近前來。
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.
15被取的人有當滅的物在他那裏，他和他所有的必被火焚燒；因他違背了耶和華的約，又因他在 以色列 中行了愚妄的事。」
16Josue, therefore, when he rose in the morning, made Israel to come by their tribes, and the tribe of Juda was found,
16於是， 約書亞 清早起來，使 以色列 人按着支派近前來，取出來的是 猶大 支派；
17Which being brought by its families, it was found to be the family of Zare. Bringing that also by the houses, he found it to be Zabdi.
17使 猶大 支派近前來，就取了 謝拉 的宗族；使 謝拉 的宗族，按着 家室 人丁，一個一個地近前來，取出來的是 撒底 ；
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.
18使 撒底 的家室，按着人丁，一個一個地近前來，就取出 猶大 支派的人 謝拉 的曾孫， 撒底 的孫子， 迦米 的兒子 亞干 。
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.
19約書亞 對 亞干 說：「我兒，我勸你將榮耀歸給耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝，在他面前認罪，將你所做的事告訴我，不要向我隱瞞。」
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.
20亞干 回答 約書亞 說：「我實在得罪了耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝。我所做的事如此如此：
21For I saw among the spoils a scarlet garment exceeding good, and two hundred sides of silver, and a golden rule of fifty sides: and I coveted them, and I took them away, and hid them in the ground is the midst of my tent, and the silver I covered with the earth that I dug up.
21我在所奪的財物中看見一件美好的 示拿 衣服，二百舍客勒銀子，一條金子重五十舍客勒，我就貪愛這些物件，便拿去了。現今藏在我帳棚內的地裏，銀子在衣服底下。」
22Josue therefore sent ministers: who running to his tent, found all hidden in the same place, together with the silver.
22約書亞 就打發人跑到 亞干 的帳棚裏。那件衣服果然藏在他帳棚內，銀子在底下。
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.
23他們就從帳棚裏取出來，拿到 約書亞 和 以色列 眾人那裏，放在耶和華面前。
24Then Josue and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zare, and the silver and the garments, 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:
24約書亞 和 以色列 眾人把 謝拉 的曾孫 亞干 和那銀子、那件衣服、那條金子，並 亞干 的兒女、牛、驢、羊、帳棚，以及他所有的，都帶到 亞割谷 去。
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.
25約書亞 說：「你為甚麼連累我們呢？今日耶和華必叫你受連累。」於是 以色列 眾人用石頭打死他，將石頭扔在其上，又用火焚燒他所有的。
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.
26眾人在 亞干 身上堆成一大堆石頭，直存到今日。於是耶和華轉意，不發他的烈怒。因此那地方名叫 亞割谷 ，直到今日。
