OET-LV And_ YHWH _he/it_said to Yəhōshūˊa stand_up to/for_you(fs) to/for_what this are_you falling on face_of_your.
Achan disobeyed God. He took some of the things from Jericho that God told them to destroy. Because of his sin, the Israelites lost the battle against the town of Ai. Yahweh showed the Israelites that Achan was the one who had sinned, and they punished Achan.
Here are some other possible section headings:
The defeat at Ai
Achan’s sin
Yahweh explained to Joshua why the Israelites were defeated by the people of Ai.
But the LORD said to Joshua,
¶ But Yahweh answered Joshua:
¶ Then Yahweh replied to Joshua:
But the LORD said to Joshua: The name LORD is Yahweh, the personal name of God.
“Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face?
“Get up. You should not be lying on the ground like that.
“Stand up. It is time to get up from the ground.
Stand up: Stand up is a command from Yahweh to Joshua and means that Joshua must arise to a standing position.
Why have you fallen on your face?: This is a rhetorical question. It functions as a rebuke. Yahweh rebuked Joshua for lying on the ground.
Here are two ways to translate this rebuke:
As a rhetorical question. For example:
Why are you lying on your face like this? (NLT)
As a statement or a command. For example:
Stop lying there on the ground! (CEV)
Express this rebuke in a natural way in your language.
In Hebrew this clause has a word that means “like this,” or “in this way.” Include this phrase if it would be natural in your language.
fallen on your face: The word fallen refers to Joshua’s action in 7:6b. He lay on the ground with his face down as a gesture of sorrow and humility. You should translate this in the same way as you did in 7:6b.

Yahweh is not asking for information. He is using the question form to rebuke Joshua. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [You should not be falling on your face!]
