Numbers 13
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Ibique locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 'Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel; of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one 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 the LORD; all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
Fecit Moyses quod Dominus imperaverat, de deserto Pharan mittens principes viros, quorum ista sunt nomina.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
De tribu Ruben, Sammua filium Zechur.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
De tribu Simeon, Saphat filium Huri.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
De tribu Iuda, Caleb filium Iephone.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
De tribu Issachar, Igal filium Ioseph.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.
De tribu Ephraim, Osee filium Nun.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
De tribu Beniamin, Phalti filium Raphu.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
De tribu Zabulon, Geddiel filium Sodi.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
De tribu Ioseph, sceptri Manasse, Gaddi filium Susi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
De tribu Dan, Ammiel filium Gemalli.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
De tribu Aser, Sthur filium Michael.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
De tribu Nephthali, Nahabi filium Vapsi.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
De tribu Gad, Guel filium Machi.
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.
Hæc sunt nomina virorum, quos misit Moyses ad considerandam Terram: vocavitque Osee filium Nun, Iosue.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them: 'Get you up here into the South, and go up into the mountains;
Misit ergo eos Moyses ad considerandam Terram Chanaan, et dixit ad eos: Ascendite per meridianam plagam. Cumque veneritis ad montes,
18 and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are 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 is wood therein, 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. —
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 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, at the entrance to Hamath.
Cumque ascendissent, exploraverunt Terram a deserto Sin, usque Rohob intrantibus Emath.
22 And they went up into the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. — Now Hebron was 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 unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a pole between two; they took also 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 cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence. —
qui appellatus est Nehelescol, id est Torrens botri, eo quod botrum portassent inde filii Israel.
25 And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Reversique exploratores Terræ post quadraginta dies, omni regione circuita,
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed 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 unto the land whither thou sentest 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 Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are fierce, and the cities are fortified, and very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
sed cultores fortissimos habet, et urbes grandes atque muratas. Stirpem Enac vidimus ibi.
29 Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South; and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along 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 toward Moses, and said: 'We should go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome 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 spread an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, through which we have passed to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw 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 we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.'
Ibi vidimus monstra quædam filiorum Enac de genere giganteo: quibus comparati, quasi locustæ videbamur.
