ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: ١ 1
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
«أَرْسِلْ جَوَاسِيسَ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ الَّتِي أَنَا وَاهِبُهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَرْسِلْ رَئِيساً مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ مُمَثِّلاً لَهُ». ٢ 2
"Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them."
فَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى مُمَثِّلِي الشَّعْبِ الرُّؤَسَاءَ مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ طِبْقاً لأَمْرِ الرَّبِّ. ٣ 3
Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
وَهُمْ: شَمُّوعُ بْنُ زَكُّورَ عَنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ، ٤ 4
These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zakkur.

نَحْبِي بْنُ وَفْسِي عَنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي، ١٤ 14
Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
جَأُوئِيلُ بْنُ مَاكِي عَنْ سِبْطِ جَادٍ. ١٥ 15
Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Maki.
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 who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
وَعِنْدَمَا أَطْلَقَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «انْطَلِقُوا مِنْ هُنَا نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، ثُمَّ اصْعَدُوا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ، ١٧ 17
Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the Negev, and go up into the hill country:
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 who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are 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 is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;
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 is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes."
فَمَضَوْا وَتَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ، ابْتِدَاءً مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ صِينَ إِلَى رَحُوبَ عَلَى مَشَارِفِ حَمَاةَ. ٢١ 21
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to Lebo 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
They went up by the Negev, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (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
They came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes on it, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعُ وَادِي أَشْكُولَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: وَادِي الْعُنْقُودِ) بِسَبَبِ عُنْقُودِ الْعِنَبِ الَّذِي قَطَفَهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. ٢٤ 24
That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
وَبَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً رَجَعُوا مِنِ اسْتِكْشَافِ الأَرْضِ. ٢٥ 25
They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
فَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَسَائِرِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ فِي قَادِشَ، وَبَلَّغُوهُمْ بِمَا شَاهَدُوهُ، وَأَرَوْهُمْ ثَمَرَ الأَرْضِ. ٢٦ 26
They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
وَقَالُوا: «قَدِ انْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَرْسَلْتَنَا إِلَيْهَا، فَوَجَدْنَاهَا تَفِيضُ حَقّاً لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ثِمَارُهَا، ٢٧ 27
They told him, and said, "We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنَ فِيهَا بَالِغُ الْقُوَّةِ وَمُدُنَهُ مَنِيعَةٌ وَعَظِيمَةٌ جِدّاً. كَمَا شَاهَدْنَا هُنَاكَ بَنِي عَنَاقَ، ٢٨ 28
However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the descendants of Anak there.
فَالْعَمَالِقَةُ مُقِيمُونَ فِي أَرْضِ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالْحِثِّيُّونَ وَالْيَبُوسِيُّونَ وَالأَمُورِيُّونَ مُتَمَنِّعُونَ فِي الْجَبَلِ، وَالْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ مُسْتَوْطِنُونَ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى مُحَاذَاةِ الأُرْدُنِّ». ٢٩ 29
Amalek dwells in the land of the Negev: and the Hethites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan."
وَلَكِنَّ كَالَبَ هَدَّأَ رَوْعَ الشَّعْبِ الْمَاثِلِ أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «لِنَمْضِ وَنَمْتَلِكِ الأَرْضَ لأَنَّنَا قَادِرُونَ حَقّاً عَلَى ذَلِكَ». ٣٠ 30
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 who went up with him said, "We aren't 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
They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
فَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا هُنَاكَ الْجَبَابِرَةَ بَنِي عَنَاقَ، فَبَدَوْنَا فِي أَعْيُنِ أَنْفُسِنَا كَالْجَرَادِ، وَكَذَلِكَ كُنَّا فِي عُيُونِهِمْ». ٣٣ 33
There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
