عَدَد 13
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: | ١ 1 |
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
| «أَرْسِلْ جَوَاسِيسَ إِلَى أَرْضِ كَنْعَانَ الَّتِي أَنَا وَاهِبُهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. أَرْسِلْ رَئِيساً مِنْ كُلِّ سِبْطٍ مُمَثِّلاً لَهُ». | ٢ 2 |
“Send some men to examine the land of Canaan, which I have given to the people of Israel. Send a man from every tribe of their ancestors. Each man must be a leader among them.”
| فَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى مُمَثِّلِي الشَّعْبِ الرُّؤَسَاءَ مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ طِبْقاً لأَمْرِ الرَّبِّ. | ٣ 3 |
Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, so that they might obey Yahweh's command. All of them were leaders among the people of Israel.
| وَهُمْ: شَمُّوعُ بْنُ زَكُّورَ عَنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ، | ٤ 4 |
These were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
| شَافَاطُ بْنُ حُورِي عَنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ، | ٥ 5 |
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
| كَالَبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ عَنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا، | ٦ 6 |
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
| يَجْآلُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنْ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ، | ٧ 7 |
from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
| هُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونٍ عَنْ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ، | ٨ 8 |
from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
| فَلْطِي بْنُ رَافُو عَنْ سِبْطِ بِنْيَامِينَ، | ٩ 9 |
from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
| جَدِّيئِيلُ بْنُ سُودِي عَنْ سِبْطِ زَبُولُونَ، | ١٠ 10 |
from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
| جِدِّي بْنُ سُوسِي مِنْ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى عَنْ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ، | ١١ 11 |
from the tribe of Joseph (that is to say, from the tribe Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
| عَمِّيئِيلُ بْنُ جَمَلِّي عَنْ سِبْطِ دَانٍ، | ١٢ 12 |
from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
| سَتُورُ بْنُ مِيخَائِيلَ عَنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ، | ١٣ 13 |
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
| نَحْبِي بْنُ وَفْسِي عَنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي، | ١٤ 14 |
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
| جَأُوئِيلُ بْنُ مَاكِي عَنْ سِبْطِ جَادٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
from the tribe of Gad, Geuel 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 were the names of the men whom Moses sent to examine the land. Moses called Hoshea son of Nun by the name of Joshua.
| وَعِنْدَمَا أَطْلَقَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ قَالَ لَهُمْ: «انْطَلِقُوا مِنْ هُنَا نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ، ثُمَّ اصْعَدُوا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ، | ١٧ 17 |
Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan. He said to them, “Approach from 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 |
Examine the land to see what it is like. Observe the people who live there, whether they are strong or weak, and 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 |
See what the land is like where they live. Is it good or bad? What cities are there? Are they like camps, or are they fortified cities?
| وَكَيْفَ هِيَ أَرْضُهُ: أَخَصِبَةٌ أَمْ قَاحِلَةٌ؟ أَفِيهَا شَجَرٌ أَمْ جَرْدَاءُ؟ تَشَجَّعُوا وَأَحْضِرُوا عَيِّنَةً مِنْ ثَمَرِ الأَرْضِ». وَكَانَ الْمَوْسِمُ عِنْدَئِذٍ مَوْسِمَ بَاكُورَاتِ الْعِنَبِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
See what the land is like, whether it is good for growing crops or not, and whether there are trees there or not. Be brave and bring back samples of the land's produce.” Now the time was the season for the first ripe grapes.
| فَمَضَوْا وَتَجَسَّسُوا الأَرْضَ، ابْتِدَاءً مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ صِينَ إِلَى رَحُوبَ عَلَى مَشَارِفِ حَمَاةَ. | ٢١ 21 |
So the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near 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 from the Negev and arrived at Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, clans descended from Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been 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 |
When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut down a branch with a cluster of grapes. They carried it on a staff between two of their group. They also brought pomegranates and figs.
| فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعُ وَادِي أَشْكُولَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: وَادِي الْعُنْقُودِ) بِسَبَبِ عُنْقُودِ الْعِنَبِ الَّذِي قَطَفَهُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٤ 24 |
That place was named the Valley of Eshkol, because of the grape cluster that the people of Israel cut down there.
| وَبَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً رَجَعُوا مِنِ اسْتِكْشَافِ الأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
After forty days, they returned from examining the land.
| فَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَى مُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَسَائِرِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ فِي قَادِشَ، وَبَلَّغُوهُمْ بِمَا شَاهَدُوهُ، وَأَرَوْهُمْ ثَمَرَ الأَرْضِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
They came back to Moses, Aaron, and all the community of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the community, and showed them the produce from the land.
| وَقَالُوا: «قَدِ انْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَرْسَلْتَنَا إِلَيْهَا، فَوَجَدْنَاهَا تَفِيضُ حَقّاً لَبَناً وَعَسَلاً، وَهَذِهِ هِيَ ثِمَارُهَا، | ٢٧ 27 |
They told Moses, “We reached the land to which you sent us. It certainly flows with milk and honey. Here is some produce from it.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ الشَّعْبَ الْمُسْتَوْطِنَ فِيهَا بَالِغُ الْقُوَّةِ وَمُدُنَهُ مَنِيعَةٌ وَعَظِيمَةٌ جِدّاً. كَمَا شَاهَدْنَا هُنَاكَ بَنِي عَنَاقَ، | ٢٨ 28 |
However, the people who make their homes there are strong. The cities are fortified and very large. We also saw descendants 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 live in the Negev. The Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites have their homes in the hill country. The Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan River.”
| وَلَكِنَّ كَالَبَ هَدَّأَ رَوْعَ الشَّعْبِ الْمَاثِلِ أَمَامَ مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «لِنَمْضِ وَنَمْتَلِكِ الأَرْضَ لأَنَّنَا قَادِرُونَ حَقّاً عَلَى ذَلِكَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
Then Caleb silenced the people who were before Moses and said, “Let us go up and take possession of the land, for we are certainly able to conquer it.”
| فَعَارَضَهُ الرِّجَالُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ وَقَالُوا: «لا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نُقَاوِمَ سُكَّانَهَا لأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنَّا». | ٣١ 31 |
But the other men who had gone with him said, “We are not able to attack the people because they are stronger than we are.”
| وَبِذَلِكَ أَشَاعُوا الذُّعْرَ بَيْنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ مِنَ الْبِلادِ الَّتِي تَجَسَّسُوهَا قَائِلِينَ: «سَتَفْتَرِسُنَا الأَرْضُ الَّتِي تَجَسَّسْنَاهَا، وَجَمِيعُ مَنْ شَاهَدْنَاهُمْ مِنْ سُكَّانِهَا عَمَالِقَةٌ. | ٣٢ 32 |
So they spread around a discouraging report to the people of Israel about the land that they had examined. They said, “The land that we looked at is a land that eats up its inhabitants. All the people whom we saw there are people of great height.
| فَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا هُنَاكَ الْجَبَابِرَةَ بَنِي عَنَاقَ، فَبَدَوْنَا فِي أَعْيُنِ أَنْفُسِنَا كَالْجَرَادِ، وَكَذَلِكَ كُنَّا فِي عُيُونِهِمْ». | ٣٣ 33 |
There we saw giants, descendants of Anak, people who came from giants. In our own sight we were like grasshoppers in comparison with them, and this is what we were in their sight, too.”
