Zatym rzekł Jozue: Ach Panie Boże przeczżeś rozkazał przeprawić się przez Jordan ludowi temu, abyś nas podał w ręce Amorejczykom, a iżbyś nas potracił? Obyżechmy byli radszej mieszkali za Jordanem.
Zatem rzekł Jozue: Ach! Panie Panujący, przeczżeś przeprowadził lud ten za Jordan, abyś nas podał w rękę Amorejczyka na wytracenie? O byśmy byli raczej mieszkali za Jordanem!
Jozue zwrócił się przy tym do Boga: Ach, Wszechmocny mój PANIE, dlaczego właściwie przeprowadziłeś ten lud przez Jordan? Czy po to, aby nas wydać na zgubę w ręce Amorytów? Obyśmy raczej zostali po tamtej stronie Jordanu!
Zatem rzekł Jozue: Ach! Panie Panujący, przeczżeś przeprowadził lud ten za Jordan, abyś nas podał w rękę Amorejczyka na wytracenie? O byśmy byli raczej mieszkali za Jordanem!
Potem Jozue powiedział: Ach, Panie BOŻE, czemu przeprowadziłeś ten lud za Jordan? Czy po to, aby nas wydać w ręce Amorytów na zniszczenie? Obyśmy raczej pozostali za Jordanem!
I rzekł Jozue: Ach, Panie, Panie mój, dlaczego przeprowadziłeś ten lud przez Jordan? Czy aby wydać nas w ręce Amorejczyków na zagładę? Obyśmy byli pozostali po tamtej stronie Jordanu!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Joshua said, alas! O Lord God,.... What a miserable and distressed condition are we in! have pity and compassion on us; who could have thought it, that this would have been our case?
wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us: who are mentioned either for the whole people of the land of Canaan; or rather, because the people of Israel were now in that part of the country which they inhabited: these words discover much weakness, diffidence, and distrust, and bear some likeness to the murmurs of the children of Israel in the wilderness; but not proceeding from that malignity of spirit theirs did, but from a concern for the good of the people and the glory of God, they are not resented by him:
would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan; in which he seems to cast the blame, not upon the Lord but upon himself and the people, who were not content to dwell on the other side, but were desirous of a larger and better country; and now ruin seemed to be the consequent of that covetous disposition and discontented mind.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 7:7. Alas, O Lord God — Particles of exclamations and distress, or what are called interjections, are nearly the same in all languages: and the reason is because they are the simple voice of nature. The Hebrew word which we translate alas is ××× ahah. The complaint of Joshua in this and the following verses seems principally to have arisen from his deep concern for the glory of God, and the affecting interest he took in behalf of the people: he felt for the thousands of Israel, whom he considered as abandoned to destruction: and he felt for the glory of God, for he knew should Israel be destroyed God's name would be blasphemed among the heathen; and his expostulations with his Maker, which have been too hastily blamed by some, as savouring of too great freedom and impatience are founded on God's own words, Deuteronomy 32:26-27, and on the practice of Moses himself, who had used similar expressions on a similar occasion; see Exodus 5:22-23; Numbers 14:13-18.
