Numbers 13
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
ibique locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2 “Send men for yourself, and they spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man—you send one man for the tribe of his fathers, everyone a prince among them.”
Mitte viros, qui considerent Terram Chanaan, quam daturus sum filiis Israel, singulos de singulis tribubus, ex principibus.
3 And Moses sends them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of YHWH; all of them [are] men, [and] they are heads of the sons 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 son of Zaccur;
De tribu Ruben, Sammua filium Zechur.
5 for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
De tribu Simeon, Saphat filium Huri.
6 for the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
De tribu Iuda, Caleb filium Iephone.
7 for the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
De tribu Issachar, Igal filium Ioseph.
8 for the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea son of Nun;
De tribu Ephraim, Osee filium Nun.
9 for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
De tribu Beniamin, Phalti filium Raphu.
10 for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
De tribu Zabulon, Geddiel filium Sodi.
11 for the tribe of Joseph (for the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
De tribu Ioseph, sceptri Manasse, Gaddi filium Susi.
12 for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
De tribu Dan, Ammiel filium Gemalli.
13 for the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
De tribu Aser, Sthur filium Michael.
14 for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vopshi;
De tribu Nephthali, Nahabi filium Vapsi.
15 for the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
De tribu Gad, Guel filium Machi.
16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses has sent to spy out the land; and Moses calls Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
hæc sunt nomina virorum, quos misit Moyses ad considerandam Terram: vocavitque Osee filium Nun, Iosue.
17 And Moses sends them to spy out the land of Canaan and says to them, “Go up this [way] into the south, and you have gone up the mountain,
misit ergo eos Moyses ad considerandam Terram Chanaan, et dixit ad eos: Ascendite per meridianam plagam. Cumque veneritis ad montes,
18 and have seen the land, what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble, [and] whether it [is] 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] in which it is dwelling, whether it [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses.
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 in it or not; and you have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land”; now the days [are] days of the first-fruits of 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 go up and spy out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
Cumque ascendissent, exploraverunt Terram a deserto Sin, usque Rohob intrantibus Emath.
22 and they go up by the south, and come to Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and 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 come to the Brook of Eshcol, and cut down a branch and one cluster of grapes there, and they carry it on a staff by two, also [some] 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 has been called the Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
qui appellatus est Nehelescol, id est Torrens botri, eo quod botrum portassent inde filii Israel.
25 And they return from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Reversique exploratores Terræ post quadraginta dies, omni regione circuita,
26 And they go and come to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the congregation back word, and show 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 recount to him, and say, “We came to the land to where you have sent us, and it is indeed flowing with milk and honey—and this [is] its fruit;
et narraverunt, dicentes: Venimus in Terram, ad quam misisti nos, quæ revera fluit lacte et melle, ut ex his fructibus cognosci potest:
28 only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fortified [and] very great; and we have also seen children of Anak there.
sed cultores fortissimos habet, et urbes grandes atque muratas. Stirpem Enac vidimus ibi.
29 Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite are dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling 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 stills the people concerning Moses and says, “Let us certainly go up—and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able to [do] it.”
Inter hæc Caleb compescens murmur populi, qui oriebatur contra Moysen, ait: Ascendamus, et possideamus Terram, quoniam poterimus obtinere eam.
31 And the men who have gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] stronger than we”;
Alii vero, qui fuerant cum eo, dicebant: Nequaquam ad hunc populum valemus ascendere, quia fortior nobis est.
32 and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we passed over to spy it out is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of 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 giants, sons of Anak, of the giants; and we are as grasshoppers in our own eyes—and so we were in their eyes.”
Ibi vidimus monstra quædam filiorum Enac de genere giganteo: quibus comparati, quasi locustæ videbamur.
