Numbers 13
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
| ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: | ١ |
2 Send men to get knowledge about the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from every tribe of their fathers you are to send a man, every one a chief 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 And Moses sent them from the waste land of Paran as the Lord gave orders, all of them 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 And 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, that is of the family 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, Gevel, the son of Machi.
| مِنْ سِبْطِ جَادَ جَأُوئِيلُ بْنُ مَاكِي. | ١٥ |
16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.
| هَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ. وَدَعَا مُوسَى هُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونَ «يَشُوعَ». | ١٦ |
17 So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;
| فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱصْعَدُوا مِنْ هُنَا إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱطْلَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، | ١٧ |
18 And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;
| وَٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، مَا هِيَ: وَٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلسَّاكِنَ فِيهَا، أَقَوِيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ ضَعِيفٌ؟ قَلِيلٌ أَمْ كَثِيرٌ؟ | ١٨ |
19 And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;
| وَكَيْفَ هِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِيهَا، أَجَيِّدَةٌ أَمْ رَدِيَّةٌ؟ وَمَا هِيَ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِيهَا، أَمُخَيَّمَاتٌ أَمْ حُصُونٌ؟ | ١٩ |
20 And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.
| 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 got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.
| فَصَعِدُوا وَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ صِينَ إِلَى رَحُوبَ فِي مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ. | ٢١ |
22 They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of 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 And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some 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 named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.
| فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعُ «وَادِيَ أَشْكُولَ» بِسَبَبِ ٱلْعُنْقُودِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٤ |
25 At the end of forty days they came back from viewing the land.
| ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا مِنْ تَجَسُّسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. | ٢٥ |
26 And they came back to Moses and Aaron and all the children of Israel, to Kadesh in the waste land of Paran; and gave an account to them and to all the people and let them see the produce 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 And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.
| وَأَخْبَرُوهُ وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ ذَهَبْنَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلْتَنَا إِلَيْهَا، وَحَقًّا إِنَّهَا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، وَهَذَا ثَمَرُهَا. | ٢٧ |
28 But the people living in the land are strong, and the towns are walled and very great; further, 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 And the Amalekites are in the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill-country; and the Canaanites by the sea and by the side of Jordan.
| ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ سَاكِنُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَٱلْحِثِّيُّونَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيُّونَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». | ٢٩ |
30 Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; 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 had gone 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 And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.
| 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 those great men, the sons of Anak, offspring of the Nephilim: and we seemed to ourselves no more than insects, and so we seemed to them.
| وَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا هُنَاكَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةَ، بَنِي عَنَاقٍ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ. فَكُنَّا فِي أَعْيُنِنَا كَٱلْجَرَادِ، وَهَكَذَا كُنَّا فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ». | ٣٣ |
