Numbers 13
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talte til Moses og sa:
2 Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel. From every tribe of their fathers ye shall send a man, each one a ruler among them.
Send avsted menn for å utspeide Kana'ans land, som jeg nu vil gi Israels barn! En mann for hver fedrenestamme skal I sende; hver av dem skal være en høvding blandt folket.
3 And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Jehovah. All of them men who were heads of the sons of Israel.
Da sendte Moses dem fra ørkenen Paran efter Herrens ord; alle var de overhoder for Israels barn.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
Og dette var deres navn: For Rubens stamme Sammua, Sakkurs sønn,

16 These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
Dette var navnene på de menn som Moses sendte for å utspeide landet; men Moses gav Hosea, Nuns sønn, navnet Josva.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country.
Og Moses sendte dem for å utspeide Kana'ans land, og han sa til dem: Dra op her til sydlandet og stig op i fjellene
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,
og se hvordan landet er, og om folket som bor der, er sterkt eller svakt, om det er lite eller stort,
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,
og hvordan det land er som det bor i, om det er godt eller dårlig, og hvordan de byer er som det bor i, om det bor i leire eller i festninger,
20 and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
og hvordan jorden er, om den er fet eller mager, om det er trær der eller ikke! Vær ved godt mot og ta med eder av landets frukt! Det var nettop på den tid de første druer blev modne.
21 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
Så drog de da op og utspeidet landet fra ørkenen Sin til Rehob, bortimot Hamat.
22 And they went up by the South, and came to Hebron. And Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
De drog op til sydlandet og kom til Hebron; der bodde Akiman, Sesai og Talmai, Anaks barn - Hebron var bygget syv år før Soan i Egypten.
23 And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a staff between two, also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Så kom de til Eskol-dalen; der skar de av en vinranke med en drueklase, og den bar to mann mellem sig på en stang; likeledes tok de granatepler og fikener.
24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
Dette sted blev kalt Eskol-dalen efter den drueklase som Israels barn skar av der.
25 And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Da firti dager var til ende, vendte de tilbake efter å ha utspeidet landet.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons 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.
De gikk avsted og fant Moses og Aron og hele Israels barns menighet i ørkenen Paran, i Kades, og gav dem og hele menigheten beskjed om hvad de hadde sett, og viste dem landets frukt.
27 And they told him, and said, We came to the land where thou sent us. And surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it.
De fortalte ham og sa: Vi kom til det land du sendte oss til, og det flyter virkelig med melk og honning, og her er dets frukt.
28 However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, very great, and moreover we saw the sons of Anak there.
Men det folk som bor i landet, er sterkt, og byene er som festninger og meget store; der så vi også Anaks barn.
29 Amalek dwells in the land of the South. And the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country. And the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.
Amalekittene bor i sydlandet, og hetittene og jebusittene og amorittene bor i fjellbygdene, og kana'anittene bor ute ved havet og langsmed Jordan.
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.
Men da folket knurret mot Moses, søkte Kaleb å stagge dem og sa: Vi vil dra op og ta landet i eie; vi skal nok få det i vår makt.
31 But the men who went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
Men de menn som hadde vært med ham der op, sa: Vi makter ikke å dra op mot det folk; for det er sterkere enn vi.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up the inhabitants of it. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.
Og de talte ille blandt Israels barn om det land de hadde utspeidet, og sa: Det land vi drog igjennem for å utspeide det, er et land som fortærer sine innbyggere, og alle de vi så der, var høivoksne folk;
33 And we saw there the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants. And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
der så vi kjempene, Anaks barn av kjempeætten, og mot dem var vi i våre egne øine som gresshopper, og det syntes også de at vi var.
