Numbers 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Og Herren talede til Mose og sagde:
2 Send for you men, and let them spy the land of the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for a tribe, you shall send them away according to their families, every one of them a prince.
Send Mænd for dig, at de bespejde det Land Kanaan, hvilket jeg giver Israels Børn; I skulle sende een Mand for hver sin Fædrene-Stamme, enhver iblandt dem skal være en Fyrste.
3 And Moses sent them out of the wilderness of Pharan by the word of the Lord; all these [were] the princes of the sons of Israel.
Saa sendte Mose dem fra Parans Ørk, efter Herrens Mund, Mænd, der alle vare Øverster for Israels Børn.
4 And these [are] their names: of the tribe of Ruben, Samuel the son of Zachur.
Og disse ere deres Navne: For Rubens Stamme Sammua, Sakkurs Søn;
5 Of the tribe of Symeon, Saphat the son of Suri.

16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Ause the son of Naue, Joshua.
Disse ere Navnene paa de Mænd, som Mose sendte til at bespejde Landet; men Mose kaldte Hosea, Nuns Søn, Josva.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Chanaan, and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and you shall go up to the mountain,
Og Mose sendte dem til at bespejde Kanaans Land og sagde til dem: Drager herfra op i Sydlandet, og I skulle gaa op paa Bjergene.
18 and you shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or [whether] they are few or many.
Og I skulle bese Landet, hvordan det er, og det Folk, som bor derudi, om det er stærkt eller svagt, om det er lidet eller talrigt,
19 And what the land is on which they dwell, [whether] it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether they dwell in walled [cities] or unwalled.
og hvad det er for et Land, som det bor udi, om det er godt eller slet, og hvad det er for Stæder, som det bor udi, om det bor i Lejre eller i Befæstninger,
20 And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and you shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days [were] the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.
og hvad det er for et Land, om det er fedt eller magert; om der er Træer i det eller ej, og I skulle være frimodige og tage af Landets Frugt; men det var paa den Tid, da de første Vindruer bleve modne.
21 And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.
Og de gik op og bespejdede Landet, fra Zins Ørk indtil Rehob, til henimod Hamatli.
22 And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.
Derefter gik de op i Sydlandet og kom til Hebron, og der var Ahiman, Sesai og Talmai, Anaks Børn; men Hebron var bygget syv Aar førend Zoan i Ægypten.
23 And they came to the valley of the cluster and surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes upon it, and bore it on staves, and [they took] of the pomegranates and the figs.
Og de kom indtil Eskols Bæk og afskare der en Vinkvist og en Vindrueklasse, og to bare den paa en Stang, og de toge af Granatæblerne og af Figenerne.
24 And they called that place, The valley of the cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
Dette Sted kaldte man Eskols Bæk for den Klases Skyld, som Israels Børn afskare der.
25 And they returned from thence, having surveyed the land, after forty days.
Og de vendte tilbage fra at bespejde Landet, der fyrretyve Dage vare til Ende.
26 And they proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Pharan Cades; and they brought word to them and to all the congregation, and they showed the fruit of the land:
Og de gik og kom til Mose og til Aron og til al Israels Børns Menighed, til Parans Ørk til Kades; og de bragte dem og al Menigheden Svar igen, og de lode dem se Landets Frugt.
27 and they reported to him, and said, We came into the land into which you sent us, a land flowing with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Og de fortalte ham og sagde: Vi kom til Landet, som du sendte os til, og det flyder endog med Mælk og Honning, og denne er Frugten derfra.
28 Only the nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children of Enach.
Men dog, det er et stærkt Folk, som bor i Landet, og Stæderne ere faste og saare store, vi have ogsaa set Anaks Børn der.
29 And Amalec dwells in the land towards the south: and the Chettite and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwells in the hill country: and the Chananite dwells by the sea, and by the river Jordan.
Amalek bor sydligt i Landet, og Hethiten og Jebusiten og Amoriten bor paa Bjerget, og Kananiten bor ved Havet og ved Jordanens Bred.
30 And Chaleb stayed the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them.
Men Kaleb beroligede Folket overfor Mose og sagde: Lader os dog gaa op og indtage det til Ejendom; thi vi kunne lettelig bemægtige os det.
31 But the men that went up together with him said, We will not go up, for we shall not by any means be able to go up against the nation, for it is much stronger than we.
Men de Mænd, som vare dragne op med ham, sagde: Vi formaa ikke at drage op mod det Folk; thi det er stærkere end vi.
32 And they brought a horror of that land which they surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary stature.
Og de bragte ondt Rygte om Landet, hvilket de havde bespejdet, ud til Israels Børn og sagde: Det Land, som vi gik igennem at bespejde det, det er et Land, som fortærer sine Indbyggere, og alt det Folk, som vi saa deri, er høje Folk.
33 And there we saw the giants; and we were before them as locusts, yes even so were we before them.
Og vi saa der Kæmperne, Anaks Børn, en Kæmpeslægt; og vi vare for vore Øjne som Græshopper, og vi vare ligesaa for deres Øjne.
