< 민수기 13 >
2 사람을 보내어 내가 이스라엘 자손에게 주는 가나안 땅을 탐지하게 하되 그 종족의 각 지파 중에서 족장 된 자 한 사람씩 보내라
“Send some men to Canaan [land] to explore it. That is the land that I will give to you Israelis. Send men who are leaders in their tribes.”
3 모세가 여호와의 명을 좇아 바란 광야에서 그들을 보내었으니 그들은 다 이스라엘 자손의 두령된 사람이라
So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded him/me. He/I sent out twelve Israeli men who were all leaders of their tribes. He/I sent them from their/our camp at Paran in the desert.
4 그들의 이름은 이러하니라 르우벤 지파에서는 삭굴의 아들 삼무아요
These are the names of the men [and the tribes they belonged to: ] Shammua, the son of Zaccur, from the tribe of Reuben;
Shaphat, the son of Hori, from the tribe of Simeon;
Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah;
Igal, the son of Joseph, from the tribe of Issachar;
Hoshea, the son of Nun, from the tribe of Ephraim;
Palti, the son of Raphu, from the tribe of Benjamin;
10 스불론 지파에서는 소디의 아들 갓디엘이요
Gaddiel, the son of Sodi, from the tribe of Zebulun;
11 요셉 지파 곧 므낫세 지파에서는 수시의 아들 갓디요
Gaddi, the son of Susi, from the tribe of Manasseh;
Ammiel, the son of Gemalli, from the tribe of Dan;
Sethur, the son of Michael, from the tribe of Asher;
Nahbi, the son of Vophsi, from the tribe of Naphtali;
and Geuel, the son of Maki, from the tribe of Gad.
16 이는 모세가 땅을 탐지하러 보낸 자들의 이름이라 모세가 눈의 아들 호세아를 여호수아라 칭하였더라
Those are the names of the men whom Moses/I sent out to explore Canaan. [Before they left], Moses/I gave Hoshea a new name, Joshua, [which means ‘Yahweh is the one who saves].’
17 모세가 가나안 땅을 탐지하러 그들을 보내며 이르되 `너희는 남방길로 행하여 산지로 올라가서
Before Moses/I sent them to explore Canaan, he/I said to them, “Go through the southern part of Canaan, and then go [north] into the hilly area.
18 그 땅의 어떠함을 탐지하라 곧 그 땅 거민의 강약과 다소와
See what the land is like. See if the people who live there are strong or weak. See if there are many people or only a few people.
19 그들의 거하는 땅의 호불호와 거하는 성읍이 진영인지 산성인지와
Find out what kind of land they live in [RHQ]. Is it good or bad? Find out about the towns in which they live [RHQ]. Do they have walls around them or not?
20 토지의 후박과 수목의 유무니라 담대하라 또 그 땅 실과를 가져오라' 하니 그 때는 포도가 처음 익을 즈음이었더라
Find out about the soil [RHQ]. Is it (fertile/good for growing crops) or not? Find out if there are trees there [RHQ]. Try to bring back some of the fruit that grows in that land.” [He/I said that because] it was the beginning of the time to harvest grapes.
21 이에 그들이 올라 가서 땅을 탐지하되 신 광야에서부터 하맛 어귀 르홉에 이르렀고
So those men went to Canaan. They went [through the entire land], from the Zin desert [in the south] all the way to Rehob [town] near Lebo-Hamath [in the north].
22 또 남방으로 올라가서 헤브론에 이르렀으니 헤브론은 애굽 소안보다 칠년 전에 세운 곳이라 그 곳에 아낙 자손 아히만과 세새와 달매가 있었더라
In the south, they went to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, [huge men] descended from Anak, lived. Hebron was a city that was built seven years before Zoan [city] was built in Egypt.
23 또 에스골 골짜기에 이르러 거기서 포도 한 송이 달린 가지를 베어 둘이 막대기에 꿰어 메고 또 석류와 무화과를 취하니라
In one valley, they cut from a grapevine one cluster of grapes. [Because it was very large, they needed] two men to carry it on a pole. They also picked some pomegranates and some figs [to carry back to their camp].
24 이스라엘 자손이 거기서 포도송이를 벤 고로 그 곳을 에스골 골짜기라 칭하였더라
They called that place Eshcol [which means ‘cluster’] because they had cut that [huge] cluster of grapes there.
25 사십일 동안에 땅을 탐지하기를 마치고 돌아와
After they explored the land for 40 days, they returned to their camp.
26 바란 광야 가데스에 이르러 모세와 아론과 이스라엘 자손의 온 회중에게 나아와 그들에게 회보하고 그 땅 실과를 보이고
They came to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people in the desert at Paran. They reported to everyone what they had seen. They also showed them the fruit that they had brought back.
27 모세에게 보고하여 가로되 `당신이 우리를 보낸 땅에 간즉 과연 젖과 꿀이 그 땅에 흐르고 이것은 그 땅의 실과니이다
But this is what they reported to Moses/me: “We arrived in the land that you sent us to explore. It is truly a beautiful land, and it is very fertile [IDM]. Here is some of the fruit.
28 그러나 그 땅 거민은 강하고 성읍은 견고하고 심히 클 뿐 아니라 거기서 아낙 자손을 보았으며
But the people who live there are very strong. Their cities are large and are surrounded by walls. We even saw some of the [huge] descendants of Anak there.
29 아말렉인은 남방 땅에 거하고 헷인과, 여부스인과, 아모리인은 산지에 거하고 가나안인은 해변과 요단 가에 거하더이다'
The descendants of Amalek live in the southern part [of the land], and the descendants of Heth, Jebus, and Amor live in the hilly area [to the north]. The descendants of Canaan live along the coast of the [Mediterranean] sea and along the Jordan [River].”
30 갈렙이 모세 앞에서 백성을 안돈시켜 가로되 `우리가 곧 올라가서 그 땅을 취하자 능히 이기리라' 하나
[When they said that, the people were afraid and started to cry out very loudly]. But Caleb told the people who were standing near Moses/me to be quiet. Then he said, “We should go there and take the land, because we are certainly able to conquer it!”
31 그와 함께 올라갔던 사람들은 가로되 `우리는 능히 올라가서 그 백성을 치지 못하리라 그들은 우리보다 강하니라' 하고
But the men who had gone with him said, “No, we cannot attack [and defeat] those people! They are much stronger than we are!”
32 이스라엘 자손 앞에서 그 탐지한 땅을 악평하여 가로되 `우리가 두루 다니며 탐지한 땅은 그 거민을 삼키는 땅이요 거기서 본 모든 백성은 신장이 장대한 자들이며
So those men gave to the Israeli people a bad report about the land that they had explored. They said, “The land that we explored is very large; we cannot conquer it. And all the people whom we saw are very tall.
33 거기서 또 네피림 후손 아낙 자손 대장부들을 보았나니 우리는 스스로 보기에도 메뚜기 같으니 그들의 보기에도 그와 같았을 것이니라'
We even saw the descendants of Nephili there. The descendants of Anak [whom we saw there] are descended from the giant Nephili people. When we saw them, we felt [as small] as grasshoppers [SIM], and they thought that we looked like grasshoppers too!”
