Numbers 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
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.
"Dari setiap suku Israel utuslah seorang dari antara pemimpin-pemimpinnya untuk memata-matai tanah Kanaan yang akan Kuberikan kepada orang Israel."
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.
Sesuai dengan perintah Allah itu, Musa mengutus mereka dari padang gurun Paran. Semua orang itu adalah pemimpin-pemimpin di antara orang Israel: (Suku-Pemimpin), Ruben-Syamua anak Zakur, Simeon-Safat anak Hori, Yehuda-Kaleb anak Yefune, Isakhar-Yigal anak Yusuf, Efraim-Hosea anak Nun, Benyamin-Palti anak Rafu, Zebulon-Gadiel anak Sodi, Manasye-Gadi anak Susi, Dan-Amiel anak Gemali, Asyer-Setur anak Mikhael, Naftali-Nahbi anak Wofsi, Gad-Guel anak Makhi.
4 And these [are] their names: of the tribe of Ruben, Samuel the son of Zachur.
5 Of the tribe of Symeon, Saphat the son of Suri.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Chaleb the son of Jephonne.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Ilaal the son of Joseph.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Ause the son of Naue.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu.
10 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Gudiel the son of Sudi.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph of the sons of Manasse, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Amiel the son of Gamali.
13 Of the tribe of Aser, Sathur the son of Michael.
14 Of the tribe of Nephthali, Nabi the son of Sabi.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Gudiel the son of Macchi.
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.
Itulah mata-mata yang diutus Musa untuk mengintai negeri itu. Hosea anak Nun diganti namanya oleh Musa menjadi Yosua.
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,
Ketika Musa menyuruh mereka berangkat, ia berpesan kepada mereka, "Berjalanlah ke arah utara, menuju bagian selatan tanah Kanaan, lalu terus ke daerah berbukit.
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.
Selidikilah bagaimana negeri itu, apakah penduduknya banyak atau sedikit, apakah mereka kuat atau lemah.
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.
Periksalah apakah negeri itu baik atau tidak, dan apakah penduduknya tinggal di desa-desa yang terbuka atau dalam kota-kota yang berbenteng.
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.
Tabahkanlah hatimu. Lihatlah apakah tanahnya subur dan banyak pohon-pohonnya. Jangan lupa membawa pulang sedikit buah-buahan yang tumbuh di sana." Waktu itu permulaan musim anggur.
21 And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.
Maka pergilah orang-orang itu ke arah utara dan menyelidiki negeri itu mulai dari padang gurun Zin di sebelah selatan ke utara sampai kota Rehob, dekat jalan ke Hamat.
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.
Mula-mula mereka pergi ke bagian selatan negeri itu dan tiba di kota Hebron, tempat tinggal orang-orang Ahiman, Sesai dan Talmai, keturunan Enak. Hebron didirikan tujuh tahun sebelum kota Zoan di Mesir.
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.
Lalu tibalah mereka di lembah Eskol. Di situ mereka memotong seranting buah anggur yang begitu berat, sehingga harus dipikul dengan sebatang kayu oleh dua orang. Mereka membawa juga beberapa buah delima dan buah ara.
24 And they called that place, The valley of the cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
Tempat itu disebut Lembah Eskol karena ranting buah anggur yang dipotong oleh orang Israel di situ.
25 And they returned from thence, having surveyed the land, after forty days.
Sesudah menyelidiki negeri itu empat puluh hari lamanya, mata-mata itu kembali
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:
dan memberi laporan kepada Musa, Harun dan seluruh umat Israel yang sedang berkumpul di Kades, di padang gurun Paran. Mereka menceritakan apa yang sudah mereka lihat dan menunjukkan buah-buahan yang mereka bawa.
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.
Kata mereka kepada Musa, "Kami sudah menyelidiki negeri itu dan melihat bahwa tanahnya kaya dan subur, dan ini sedikit buah-buahan dari sana.
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.
Tetapi penduduk negeri itu kuat-kuat. Kota-kota mereka besar-besar dan berbenteng. Lagipula, kami melihat orang-orang keturunan raksasa di sana.
29 And Amalec dwells in the land toward 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.
Orang Amalek tinggal di bagian selatan negeri itu; orang Het, Yebus dan Amori tinggal di daerah berbukit; sedangkan orang Kanaan mendiami daerah di sepanjang laut dan di sepanjang Sungai Yordan."
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.
Tetapi Kaleb menenangkan hati orang-orang yang mengeluh kepada Musa. Kata Kaleb, "Negeri itu harus kita serang dan kita rebut sekarang juga, karena kita cukup kuat untuk mengalahkannya."
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.
Tetapi orang-orang yang kembali dengan Kaleb itu berkata, "Tidak, kita tidak sanggup menyerang mereka. Penduduk negeri itu lebih kuat dari kita."
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.
Lalu mereka menyebarkan cerita bohong di kalangan orang Israel tentang negeri yang sudah mereka mata-matai itu. Kata mereka, "Negeri itu sangat berbahaya, bahkan untuk penduduknya sendiri. Orang-orang yang kami lihat di sana sangat besar badannya.
33 And there we saw the giants; and we were before them as locusts, yes even so were we before them.
Bahkan kami melihat orang-orang yang seperti raksasa, yaitu keturunan orang Enak. Dibandingkan dengan mereka, kami merasa seperti belalang, dan pasti begitulah anggapan mereka terhadap kami."
