ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: | ١ 1 |
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
«أَرْسِلْ رِجَالًا لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا مُعْطِيهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا لِكُلِّ سِبْطٍ مِنْ آبَائِهِ تُرْسِلُونَ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رَئِيسٌ فِيهِمْ». | ٢ 2 |
“Send men for yourself, and they spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man—you send one man for the tribe of his fathers, everyone a prince among them.”
فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. كُلُّهُمْ رِجَالٌ هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٣ 3 |
And Moses sends them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of YHWH; all of them [are] men, [and] they are heads of the sons of Israel,
وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ: مِنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ شَمُّوعُ بْنُ زَكُّورَ. | ٤ 4 |
and these [are] their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
مِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ شَافَاطُ ٱبْنُ حُورِي. | ٥ 5 |
for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا كَالِبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ. | ٦ 6 |
for the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
مِنْ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ يَجْآلُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ. | ٧ 7 |
for the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
مِنْ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ هُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونَ. | ٨ 8 |
for the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea son of Nun;
مِنْ سِبْطِ بَنْيَامِينَ فَلْطِي بْنُ رَافُو. | ٩ 9 |
for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
مِنْ سِبْطِ زَبُولُونَ جَدِّيئِيلُ بْنُ سُودِي. | ١٠ 10 |
for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
مِنْ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ مِنْ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى جِدِّي بْنُ سُوسِي. | ١١ 11 |
for the tribe of Joseph (for the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
مِنْ سِبْطِ دَانَ عَمِّيئِيلُ بْنُ جَمَلِّي. | ١٢ 12 |
for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
مِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ سَتُورُ بْنُ مِيخَائِيلَ. | ١٣ 13 |
for the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
مِنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي نَحْبِي بْنُ وَفْسِي. | ١٤ 14 |
for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vopshi;
مِنْ سِبْطِ جَادَ جَأُوئِيلُ بْنُ مَاكِي. | ١٥ 15 |
for the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
هَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ. وَدَعَا مُوسَى هُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونَ «يَشُوعَ». | ١٦ 16 |
These [are] the names of the men whom Moses has sent to spy out the land; and Moses calls Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱصْعَدُوا مِنْ هُنَا إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱطْلَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، | ١٧ 17 |
And Moses sends them to spy out the land of Canaan and says to them, “Go up this [way] into the south, and you have gone up the mountain,
وَٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، مَا هِيَ: وَٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلسَّاكِنَ فِيهَا، أَقَوِيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ ضَعِيفٌ؟ قَلِيلٌ أَمْ كَثِيرٌ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
and have seen the land, what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble, [and] whether it [is] few or many;
وَكَيْفَ هِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِيهَا، أَجَيِّدَةٌ أَمْ رَدِيَّةٌ؟ وَمَا هِيَ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِيهَا، أَمُخَيَّمَاتٌ أَمْ حُصُونٌ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
and what the land [is] in which it is dwelling, whether it [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses.
وَكَيْفَ هِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ، أَسَمِينَةٌ أَمْ هَزِيلَةٌ؟ أَفِيهَا شَجَرٌ أَمْ لَا؟ وَتَشَدَّدُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْ ثَمَرِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَيَّامُ فَكَانَتْ أَيَّامَ بَاكُورَاتِ ٱلْعِنَبِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And what the land [is], whether it [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and you have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land”; now the days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes.
فَصَعِدُوا وَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ صِينَ إِلَى رَحُوبَ فِي مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ. | ٢١ 21 |
And they go up and spy out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
صَعِدُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى حَبْرُونَ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ أَخِيمَانُ وَشِيشَايُ وَتَلْمَايُ بَنُو عَنَاقٍ. وَأَمَّا حَبْرُونُ فَبُنِيَتْ قَبْلَ صُوعَنِ مِصْرَ بِسَبْعِ سِنِينَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
and they go up by the south, and come to Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt),
وَأَتَوْا إِلَى وَادِي أَشْكُولَ، وَقَطَفُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ زَرَجُونَةً بِعُنْقُودٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ ٱلْعِنَبِ، وَحَمَلُوهُ بِٱلدُّقْرَانَةِ بَيْنَ ٱثْنَيْنِ، مَعَ شَيْءٍ مِنَ ٱلرُّمَّانِ وَٱلتِّينِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
and they come to the Brook of Eshcol, and cut down a branch and one cluster of grapes there, and they carry it on a staff by two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعُ «وَادِيَ أَشْكُولَ» بِسَبَبِ ٱلْعُنْقُودِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
That place has been called the Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا مِنْ تَجَسُّسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they return from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
فَسَارُوا حَتَّى أَتَوْا إِلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَكُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ، إِلَى قَادَشَ، وَرَدُّوا إِلَيْهِمَا خَبَرًا وَإِلَى كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَرَوْهُمْ ثَمَرَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And they go and come to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the congregation back word, and show them the fruit of the land.
وَأَخْبَرُوهُ وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ ذَهَبْنَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلْتَنَا إِلَيْهَا، وَحَقًّا إِنَّهَا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، وَهَذَا ثَمَرُهَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
And they recount to him, and say, “We came to the land to where you have sent us, and it is indeed flowing with milk and honey—and this [is] its fruit;
غَيْرَ أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلسَّاكِنَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مُعْتَزٌّ، وَٱلْمُدُنُ حَصِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ جِدًّا. وَأَيْضًا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا بَنِي عَنَاقَ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fortified [and] very great; and we have also seen children of Anak there.
ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ سَاكِنُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَٱلْحِثِّيُّونَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيُّونَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». | ٢٩ 29 |
Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite are dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.”
لَكِنْ كَالِبُ أَنْصَتَ ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «إِنَّنَا نَصْعَدُ وَنَمْتَلِكُهَا لِأَنَّنَا قَادِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا». | ٣٠ 30 |
And Caleb stills the people concerning Moses and says, “Let us certainly go up—and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able to [do] it.”
وَأَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُ فَقَالُوا: «لَا نَقْدِرْ أَنْ نَصْعَدَ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا». | ٣١ 31 |
And the men who have gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] stronger than we”;
فَأَشَاعُوا مَذَمَّةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَجَسَّسُوهَا، فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي مَرَرْنَا فِيهَا لِنَتَجَسَّسَهَا هِيَ أَرْضٌ تَأْكُلُ سُكَّانَهَا، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْنَا فِيهَا أُنَاسٌ طِوَالُ ٱلْقَامَةِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we passed over to spy it out is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of stature;
وَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا هُنَاكَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةَ، بَنِي عَنَاقٍ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ. فَكُنَّا فِي أَعْيُنِنَا كَٱلْجَرَادِ، وَهَكَذَا كُنَّا فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ». | ٣٣ 33 |
and there we saw the giants, sons of Anak, of the giants; and we are as grasshoppers in our own eyes—and so we were in their eyes.”
