< عَدَد 13 >
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: | ١ 1 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
«أَرْسِلْ جَوَاسِيسَ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ الَّتِي أَنَا وَاهِبُهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَرْسِلْ رَئِيساً مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ مُمَثِّلاً لَهُ». | ٢ 2 |
Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
فَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى مُمَثِّلِي الشَّعْبِ الرُّؤَسَاءَ مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ طِبْقاً لأَمْرِ الرَّبِّ. | ٣ 3 |
And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men [ were] heads of the children of Israel.
وَهُمْ: شَمُّوعُ بْنُ زَكُّورَ عَنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ، | ٤ 4 |
And these [were] their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
شَافَاطُ بْنُ حُورِي عَنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ، | ٥ 5 |

جَأُوئِيلُ بْنُ مَاكِي عَنْ سِبْطِ جَادٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
هَذِهِ هِيَ أَسْمَاءُ الرِّجَالِ الَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ، وَآنَذَاكَ غَيَّرَ مُوسَى اسْمَ هُوشَعَ بْنِ نُونٍ إِلَى يَشُوعَ. | ١٦ 16 |
These [are] the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
وَعِنْدَمَا أَطْلَقَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «انْطَلِقُوا مِنْ هُنَا نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، ثُمَّ اصْعَدُوا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ، | ١٧ 17 |
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this [way] southward, and go up into the mountain:
وَاسْتَكْشِفُوا الْبِلادَ وَأَوْضَاعَهَا وَهَلْ شَعْبُهَا الْمُقِيمُ فِيهَا قَوِيٌّ أَمْ ضَعِيفٌ؟ أَكَثِيرٌ هُوَ أَمْ قَلِيلٌ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
And see the land, what it [is; ] and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they [be] strong or weak, few or many;
وَمَا هِيَ طَبِيعَةُ الأَرْضِ السَّاكِنُ فِيهَا، أَصَالِحَةٌ هِيَ أَمْ رَدِيئَةٌ؟ وَمَا هِيَ الْمُدُنُ الَّتِي هُوَ قَاطِنٌ فِيهَا؟ أَمُخَيَّمَاتٌ هِيَ أَمْ حُصُونٌ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
And what the land [is] that they dwell in, whether it [be] good or bad; and what cities [they be] that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
وَكَيْفَ هِيَ أَرْضُهُ: أَخَصِبَةٌ أَمْ قَاحِلَةٌ؟ أَفِيهَا شَجَرٌ أَمْ جَرْدَاءُ؟ تَشَجَّعُوا وَأَحْضِرُوا عَيِّنَةً مِنْ ثَمَرِ الأَرْضِ». وَكَانَ الْمَوْسِمُ عِنْدَئِذٍ مَوْسِمَ بَاكُورَاتِ الْعِنَبِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And what the land [is], whether it [be] fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time of the firstripe grapes.
فَمَضَوْا وَتَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ، ابْتِدَاءً مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ صِينَ إِلَى رَحُوبَ عَلَى مَشَارِفِ حَمَاةَ. | ٢١ 21 |
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
وَاجْتَازُوا صَحْرَاءَ النَّقَبِ حَتَّى وَصَلُوا حَبْرُونَ حَيْثُ تُقِيمُ قَبَائِلُ بَنِي عَنَاقَ: أَخِيمَانَ وَشِيشَايَ وَتَلْمَايَ. وَكَانَتْ حَبْرُونُ قَدْ بُنِيَتْ قَبْلَ مَدِينَةِ صُوعَنَ الْمِصْرِيَّةِ بِسَبْعِ سَنَوَاتٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
ثُمَّ قَدِمُوا عَلَى وَادِي أَشْكُولَ، فَقَطَفُوا فَرْعاً مِنْ كَرْمَةِ عِنَبٍ فِيهِ عُنْقُودٌ وَاحِدٌ، حَمَلُوهُ بِعَصاً عَلَى كَتِفَيْ اثْنَيْنِ مِنْهُمْ، فَضْلاً عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ التِّينِ وَالرُّمَّانِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعُ وَادِي أَشْكُولَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: وَادِي الْعُنْقُودِ) بِسَبَبِ عُنْقُودِ الْعِنَبِ الَّذِي قَطَفَهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
وَبَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً رَجَعُوا مِنِ اسْتِكْشَافِ الأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
فَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَسَائِرِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ فِي قَادِشَ، وَبَلَّغُوهُمْ بِمَا شَاهَدُوهُ، وَأَرَوْهُمْ ثَمَرَ الأَرْضِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
وَقَالُوا: «قَدِ انْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَرْسَلْتَنَا إِلَيْهَا، فَوَجَدْنَاهَا تَفِيضُ حَقّاً لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ثِمَارُهَا، | ٢٧ 27 |
And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنَ فِيهَا بَالِغُ الْقُوَّةِ وَمُدُنَهُ مَنِيعَةٌ وَعَظِيمَةٌ جِدّاً. كَمَا شَاهَدْنَا هُنَاكَ بَنِي عَنَاقَ، | ٢٨ 28 |
Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
فَالْعَمَالِقَةُ مُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرْضِ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالْحِثِّيُّونَ وَالْيَبُوسِيُّونَ وَالأَمُورِيُّونَ مُتَمَنِّعُونَ فِي الْجَبَلِ، وَالْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ مُسْتَوْطِنُونَ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى مُحَاذَاةِ الأُرْدُنِّ». | ٢٩ 29 |
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
وَلَكِنَّ كَالَبَ هَدَّأَ رَوْعَ الشَّعْبِ الْمَاثِلِ أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «لِنَمْضِ وَنَمْتَلِكِ الأَرْضَ لأَنَّنَا قَادِرُونَ حَقّاً عَلَى ذَلِكَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
فَعَارَضَهُ الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ وَقَالُوا: «لا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نُقَاوِمَ سُكَّانَهَا لأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنَّا». | ٣١ 31 |
But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.
وَبِذَلِكَ أَشَاعُوا الذُّعْرَ بَيْنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ مِنَ الْبِلادِ الَّتِي تَجَسَّسُوهَا قَائِلِينَ: «سَتَفْتَرِسُنَا الأَرْضُ الَّتِي تَجَسَّسْنَاهَا، وَجَمِيعُ مَنْ شَاهَدْنَاهُمْ مِنْ سُكَّانِهَا عَمَالِقَةٌ. | ٣٢ 32 |
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature.
فَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا هُنَاكَ الْجَبَابِرَةَ بَنِي عَنَاقَ، فَبَدَوْنَا فِي أَعْيُنِ أَنْفُسِنَا كَالْجَرَادِ، وَكَذَلِكَ كُنَّا فِي عُيُونِهِمْ». | ٣٣ 33 |
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
