17 モーセかれらを遣はしてカナンの地を窺はしめんとして之に言けるは汝等その南の方に赴きて山に登り
And Moses sendeth them to spy the land of Canaan, and saith unto them, 'Go ye up this [way] into the south, and ye have gone up the mountain,
18 その地の如何と其處に住む民の強か弱か多か寡かを觀
and have seen the land what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble; whether it [is] few or many;
19 またその住ところの地は善か惡か其住ところの邑々は如何なるものなるか彼等は天幕に住をるか城の邑に住をるかを觀
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;
20 またその地は腴なるか痩たるか其中に樹あるや否を觀よ汝等勇しかれその地の果物を携へきたれよとこの時は葡萄の熟し始むる時なりき
And what the land [is], whether it [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and ye have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land;' and the days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes.
21 是において彼等上りゆきてその地を窺ひチンの曠野よりレホブにおよべり是はハマテに近し
And they go up and spy the land, from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
22 彼等すなはち南の方に上りゆきてヘブロンにいたれり此にはアナクの子アヒマン、セシヤイおよびタルマイあり(ヘブロンはエジプトのゾアンよりも七年前に建たる者なり)
and they go up by the south, and come in unto Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt),
23 彼らつひにエシコルの谷にいたり其處より一球の葡萄のなれる枝を砍とりてこれを杠に貫き二人してこれを擔へりまた石榴と無花果を取り
and they come in unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they bear it on a staff by two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 イスラエルの子孫其處より葡萄一球を砍とりしが故にその處をエシコル(一球の葡萄)の谷と稱ふ
That place hath [one] called Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from thence.
25 彼ら四十日を經その地を窺ふことを竟て歸り
And they turn back from spying the land at the end of forty days.
26 パランの曠野なるカデシに至りてモーセとアロンおよびイスラエルの子孫の全會衆に就きかれらと全會衆にその復命を申しその地の果物をこれに見せり
And they go and come in unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company of the sons of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the company back word, and shew them the fruit of the land.

And they recount to him, and say, 'We came in unto the land whither thou hast sent us, and also it [is] flowing with milk and honey — and this [is] its fruit;
28 然ながらその地に住む民は猛くその邑々は堅固にして甚だ大なり我等またアナクの子孫の其處にをるを見たり
only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fenced, very great; and also children of Anak we have seen there.

Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite is dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.'
30 時にカルブ、モーセの前に民を靜めて言けるは我等直に上りゆきて之を攻取ん我等は必ずこれに勝ことを得ん
And Caleb stilleth the people concerning Moses, and saith, 'Let us certainly go up — and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able for it.'
31 然ど彼とともに往たる人々は言ふ我等はかの民の所に攻上ることを得ず彼らは我らよりも強ければなりと
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;'
32 彼等すなはちその窺ひたりし地の事をイスラエルの子孫の中に惡く言ふらして云く我等が行巡りて窺ひたる地は其中に住む者を呑ほろぼす地なり且またその中に我等が見し民はみな身幹たかき人なりし
and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied unto the sons of Israel, saying, 'The land into which we passed over to spy it, is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of stature;
33 我等またアナクの子ネピリムを彼處に見たり是ネピリムより出たる者なり我儕は自ら見るに蝗のごとくまた彼らにも然見なされたり
and there we saw the Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the Nephilim; and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we were in their eyes.'
