民数记 13
1 耶和华晓谕摩西说：
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “你打发人去窥探我所赐给以色列人的迦南地，他们每支派中要打发一个人，都要作首领的。”
Send thou men, that they may search out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Ye shall send a man of every tribe of his fathers, each a prince among them.
3 摩西就照耶和华的吩咐从巴兰的旷野打发他们去；他们都是以色列人的族长。
And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran: according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them heads of the children of Israel.
4 他们的名字：属吕便支派的有撒刻的儿子沙母亚。
And these are their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
5 属西缅支派的有何利的儿子沙法。
for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
6 属犹大支派的有耶孚尼的儿子迦勒。
for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
7 属以萨迦支派的有约色的儿子以迦。

8 属以法莲支派的有嫩的儿子何希阿。

9 属便雅悯支派的有拉孚的儿子帕提。
for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
10 属西布伦支派的有梭底的儿子迦叠。
for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
11 约瑟的子孙，属玛拿西支派的有稣西的儿子迦底。
for the tribe of Joseph, for the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
12 属但支派的有基玛利的儿子亚米利。

15 属迦得支派的有玛基的儿子臼利。

16 这就是摩西所打发、窥探那地之人的名字。摩西就称嫩的儿子何希阿为约书亚。
These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua.
17 摩西打发他们去窥探迦南地，说：“你们从南地上山地去，
And Moses sent them to search out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the south and go up into the hill-country,
18 看那地如何，其中所住的民是强是弱，是多是少，
and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;
19 所住之地是好是歹，所住之处是营盘是坚城。
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;
20 又看那地土是肥美是瘠薄，其中有树木没有。你们要放开胆量，把那地的果子带些来。”（那时正是葡萄初熟的时候。）
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first grapes.
21 他们上去窥探那地，从寻的旷野到利合，直到哈马口。
And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.
22 他们从南地上去，到了希伯 ；在那里有亚衲族人亚希幔、示筛、挞买。（原来希伯 城被建造比埃及的锁安城早七年。）
And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
23 他们到了以实各谷，从那里砍了葡萄树的一枝，上头有一挂葡萄，两个人用杠抬着，又带了些石榴和无花果来。（
And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a pole; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 因为以色列人从那里砍来的那挂葡萄，所以那地方叫做以实各谷。）
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there.
25 过了四十天，他们窥探那地才回来，
And they returned from searching out the land after forty days.
26 到了巴兰旷野的加低斯，见摩西、亚伦，并以色列的全会众，回报摩西、亚伦，并全会众，又把那地的果子给他们看；
And they came, and went to Moses and to Aaron, and to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to the whole assembly; and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 又告诉摩西说：“我们到了你所打发我们去的那地，果然是流奶与蜜之地；这就是那地的果子。
And they told him, and said, We came to the land to which thou didst send us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 然而住那地的民强壮，城邑也坚固宽大，并且我们在那里看见了亚衲族的人。
Only, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, very great; moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 亚玛力人住在南地；赫人、耶布斯人、亚摩利人住在山地；迦南人住在海边并约旦河旁。”
Amalek dwells in the land of the south; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
30 迦勒在摩西面前安抚百姓，说：“我们立刻上去得那地吧！我们足能得胜。”
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up boldly and possess it, for we are well able to do it.
31 但那些和他同去的人说：“我们不能上去攻击那民，因为他们比我们强壮。”
But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
32 探子中有人论到所窥探之地，向以色列人报恶信，说：“我们所窥探、经过之地是吞吃居民之地，我们在那里所看见的人民都身量高大。
And they brought to the children of Israel an evil report of the land which they had searched out, saying, The land, which we have passed through to search it out, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we have seen in it are men of great stature;
33 我们在那里看见亚衲族人，就是伟人；他们是伟人的后裔。据我们看，自己就如蚱蜢一样；据他们看，我们也是如此。”
and there have we seen giants — the sons of Anak are of the giants — and we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were also in their sight.
