< Numbers 13 >

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
ibique locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 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.
Mitte viros, qui considerent Terram Chanaan, quam daturus sum filiis Israel, singulos de singulis tribubus, ex principibus.
3 And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran: according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them heads of the children of Israel.
Fecit Moyses quod Dominus imperaverat, de deserto Pharan mittens principes viros, quorum ista sunt nomina.
4 And these are their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
De tribu Ruben, Sammua filium Zechur.
5 for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
De tribu Simeon, Saphat filium Huri.
6 for the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
De tribu Iuda, Caleb filium Iephone.
7 for the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
De tribu Issachar, Igal filium Ioseph.
8 for the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun;
De tribu Ephraim, Osee filium Nun.
9 for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
De tribu Beniamin, Phalti filium Raphu.
10 for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
De tribu Zabulon, Geddiel filium Sodi.
11 for the tribe of Joseph, for the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
De tribu Ioseph, sceptri Manasse, Gaddi filium Susi.
12 for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
De tribu Dan, Ammiel filium Gemalli.
13 for the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
De tribu Aser, Sthur filium Michael.
14 for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
De tribu Nephthali, Nahabi filium Vapsi.
15 for the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
De tribu Gad, Guel filium Machi.
16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua.
hæc sunt nomina virorum, quos misit Moyses ad considerandam Terram: vocavitque Osee filium Nun, Iosue.
17 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,
misit ergo eos Moyses ad considerandam Terram Chanaan, et dixit ad eos: Ascendite per meridianam plagam. Cumque veneritis ad montes,
18 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;
considerate Terram, qualis sit: et populum qui habitator est eius, utrum fortis sit an infirmus: si pauci numero an plures:
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;
ipsa terra, bona an mala: urbes quales, muratæ an absque muris:
20 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.
humus, pinguis an sterilis, nemorosa an absque arboribus. Confortamini, et afferte nobis de fructibus Terræ. Erat autem tempus quando iam præcoquæ uvæ vesci possunt.
21 And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.
Cumque ascendissent, exploraverunt Terram a deserto Sin, usque Rohob intrantibus Emath.
22 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.
Ascenderuntque ad meridiem, et venerunt in Hebron, ubi erant Achiman et Sisai et Tholmai filii Enac. nam Hebron septem annis ante Tanim urbem Ægypti condita est.
23 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.
Pergentesque usque ad Torrentem botri, absciderunt palmitem cum uva sua, quem portaverunt in vecte duo viri. De malis quoque granatis et de ficis loci illius tulerunt:
24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there.
qui appellatus est Nehelescol, id est Torrens botri, eo quod botrum portassent inde filii Israel.
25 And they returned from searching out the land after forty days.
Reversique exploratores Terræ post quadraginta dies, omni regione circuita,
26 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.
venerunt ad Moysen et Aaron et ad omnem cœtum filiorum Israel in desertum Pharan, quod est in Cades. Locutique eis et omni multitudini ostenderunt fructus Terræ:
27 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.
et narraverunt, dicentes: Venimus in Terram, ad quam misisti nos, quæ revera fluit lacte et melle, ut ex his fructibus cognosci potest:
28 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.
sed cultores fortissimos habet, et urbes grandes atque muratas. Stirpem Enac vidimus ibi.
29 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.
Amalec habitat in meridie, Hethæus et Iebusæus et Amorrhæus in montanis: Chananæus vero moratur iuxta mare et circa fluenta Iordanis.
30 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.
Inter hæc Caleb compescens murmur populi, qui oriebatur contra Moysen, ait: Ascendamus, et possideamus Terram, quoniam poterimus obtinere eam.
31 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.
Alii vero, qui fuerant cum eo, dicebant: Nequaquam ad hunc populum valemus ascendere, quia fortior nobis est.
32 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;
Detraxeruntque Terræ, quam inspexerant, apud filios Israel, dicentes: Terra, quam lustravimus, devorat habitatores suos: populus, quem aspeximus, proceræ staturæ est.
33 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.
Ibi vidimus monstra quædam filiorum Enac de genere giganteo: quibus comparati, quasi locustæ videbamur.
