Numbers 13
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
| ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: | ١ |
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.”
| «أَرْسِلْ رِجَالًا لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا مُعْطِيهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا لِكُلِّ سِبْطٍ مِنْ آبَائِهِ تُرْسِلُونَ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رَئِيسٌ فِيهِمْ». | ٢ |
3 Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD. All of them were men who were heads of the children of Israel.
| فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. كُلُّهُمْ رِجَالٌ هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٣ |
4 These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
| وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ: مِنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ شَمُّوعُ بْنُ زَكُّورَ. | ٤ |
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ شَافَاطُ ٱبْنُ حُورِي. | ٥ |
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا كَالِبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ. | ٦ |
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ يَجْآلُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ. | ٧ |
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ هُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونَ. | ٨ |
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ بَنْيَامِينَ فَلْطِي بْنُ رَافُو. | ٩ |
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ زَبُولُونَ جَدِّيئِيلُ بْنُ سُودِي. | ١٠ |
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ مِنْ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى جِدِّي بْنُ سُوسِي. | ١١ |
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ دَانَ عَمِّيئِيلُ بْنُ جَمَلِّي. | ١٢ |
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ سَتُورُ بْنُ مِيخَائِيلَ. | ١٣ |
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي نَحْبِي بْنُ وَفْسِي. | ١٤ |
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ جَادَ جَأُوئِيلُ بْنُ مَاكِي. | ١٥ |
16 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
| هَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ. وَدَعَا مُوسَى هُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونَ «يَشُوعَ». | ١٦ |
17 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country.
| فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱصْعَدُوا مِنْ هُنَا إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱطْلَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، | ١٧ |
18 See the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
| وَٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، مَا هِيَ: وَٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلسَّاكِنَ فِيهَا، أَقَوِيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ ضَعِيفٌ؟ قَلِيلٌ أَمْ كَثِيرٌ؟ | ١٨ |
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 ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِيهَا، أَجَيِّدَةٌ أَمْ رَدِيَّةٌ؟ وَمَا هِيَ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِيهَا، أَمُخَيَّمَاتٌ أَمْ حُصُونٌ؟ | ١٩ |
20 and what the land is, whether it is fertile or poor, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
| وَكَيْفَ هِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ، أَسَمِينَةٌ أَمْ هَزِيلَةٌ؟ أَفِيهَا شَجَرٌ أَمْ لَا؟ وَتَشَدَّدُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْ ثَمَرِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَيَّامُ فَكَانَتْ أَيَّامَ بَاكُورَاتِ ٱلْعِنَبِ. | ٢٠ |
21 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
| فَصَعِدُوا وَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ صِينَ إِلَى رَحُوبَ فِي مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ. | ٢١ |
22 They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
| صَعِدُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى حَبْرُونَ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ أَخِيمَانُ وَشِيشَايُ وَتَلْمَايُ بَنُو عَنَاقٍ. وَأَمَّا حَبْرُونُ فَبُنِيَتْ قَبْلَ صُوعَنِ مِصْرَ بِسَبْعِ سِنِينَ. | ٢٢ |
23 They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
| وَأَتَوْا إِلَى وَادِي أَشْكُولَ، وَقَطَفُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ زَرَجُونَةً بِعُنْقُودٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ ٱلْعِنَبِ، وَحَمَلُوهُ بِٱلدُّقْرَانَةِ بَيْنَ ٱثْنَيْنِ، مَعَ شَيْءٍ مِنَ ٱلرُّمَّانِ وَٱلتِّينِ. | ٢٣ |
24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
| فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعُ «وَادِيَ أَشْكُولَ» بِسَبَبِ ٱلْعُنْقُودِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٤ |
25 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا مِنْ تَجَسُّسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. | ٢٥ |
26 They went and came to Moses, 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. They showed them the fruit of the land.
| فَسَارُوا حَتَّى أَتَوْا إِلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَكُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ، إِلَى قَادَشَ، وَرَدُّوا إِلَيْهِمَا خَبَرًا وَإِلَى كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَرَوْهُمْ ثَمَرَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٦ |
27 They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us. Surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
| وَأَخْبَرُوهُ وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ ذَهَبْنَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلْتَنَا إِلَيْهَا، وَحَقًّا إِنَّهَا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، وَهَذَا ثَمَرُهَا. | ٢٧ |
28 However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلسَّاكِنَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مُعْتَزٌّ، وَٱلْمُدُنُ حَصِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ جِدًّا. وَأَيْضًا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا بَنِي عَنَاقَ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٨ |
29 Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan.”
| ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ سَاكِنُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَٱلْحِثِّيُّونَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيُّونَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». | ٢٩ |
30 Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let’s go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it!”
| لَكِنْ كَالِبُ أَنْصَتَ ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «إِنَّنَا نَصْعَدُ وَنَمْتَلِكُهَا لِأَنَّنَا قَادِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا». | ٣٠ |
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.”
| وَأَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُ فَقَالُوا: «لَا نَقْدِرْ أَنْ نَصْعَدَ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا». | ٣١ |
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.
| فَأَشَاعُوا مَذَمَّةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَجَسَّسُوهَا، فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي مَرَرْنَا فِيهَا لِنَتَجَسَّسَهَا هِيَ أَرْضٌ تَأْكُلُ سُكَّانَهَا، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْنَا فِيهَا أُنَاسٌ طِوَالُ ٱلْقَامَةِ. | ٣٢ |
33 There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim. We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
| وَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا هُنَاكَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةَ، بَنِي عَنَاقٍ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ. فَكُنَّا فِي أَعْيُنِنَا كَٱلْجَرَادِ، وَهَكَذَا كُنَّا فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ». | ٣٣ |
