Números 13
1 E fallou o Senhor a Moysés, dizendo:
And there, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Envia homens que espiem a terra de Canaan, que eu hei de dar aos filhos d'Israel; de cada tribu de seus paes enviareis um homem, sendo cada qual maioral entre elles.
“Send men, who may examine the land of Canaan, which I will give to the sons of Israel, one from the rulers of each tribe.”
3 E enviou-os Moysés do deserto de Paran, segundo o dito do Senhor; todos aquelles homens eram Cabeças dos filhos d'Israel.
Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending, from the desert of Paran, leading men, whose names are these:
4 E estes são os seus nomes: Da tribu de Ruben, Sammua, filho de Saccur,
from the tribe of Ruben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
5 Da tribu de Simeão Saphath, filho de Hori;
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
6 Da tribu de Judah, Caleb, filho de Jefoné;
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
7 Da tribu d'Issacar, Jigeal, filho de José;
from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
8 Da tribu d'Ephraim, Hosea, filho de Nun;
from the tribe of Ephraim, Hosea the son of Nun;
9 Da tribu de Benjamin, Palti, filho de Raphu;
from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
10 Da tribu de Zebulon, Gaddiel, filho de Sodi;
from the tribe of Zebulon, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
11 Da tribu de José, pela tribu de Manasseh, Gaddi filho de Susi;
from the tribe of Joseph, of the scepter of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
12 Da tribu de Dan, Ammiel, filho de Gemalli;
from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
13 Da tribu d'Aser, Sethur, filho de Michael;
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
14 Da tribu de Naphtali, Nabbi, filho de Vophsi;
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
15 Da tribu de Gad, Guel, filho de Machi.
from the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.
16 Estes são os nomes dos homens que Moysés enviou a espiar aquella terra: e a Hosea, filho de Nun, Moysés chamou Josué.
These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to examine the land. And he called Hosea, the son of Nun, Joshua.
17 Enviou-os pois Moysés a espiar a terra de Canaan: e disse-lhes: Subi por aqui para a banda do sul, e subi á montanha:
And so, Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan, and he said to them: “Ascend by the south side. And when you arrive at the mountains,
18 E vêde que terra é, e o povo que n'ella habita; se é forte ou fraco; se pouco ou muito.
consider the land, as to what kind it may be, and the people, who are its inhabitants, whether they may be strong or weak, whether they may be few in number or many,
19 E qual é a terra em que habita, se boa ou má: e quaes são as cidades em que habita; ou em arraiaes, ou em fortalezas.
and the land itself, whether it is good or bad, what kind of cities, walled or without walls,
20 Tambem qual é a terra, se grossa ou magra: se n'ella ha arvores, ou não: e esforçae-vos, e tomae do fructo da terra. E eram aquelles dias os dias das primicias das uvas.
the soil, rich or barren, forested or without trees. Be strong, and bring us some of the fruits of the land.” Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes were ready to be eaten.
21 Assim subiram, e espiaram a terra desde o deserto de Zín, até Rehob, á entrada de Hamath.
And when they had ascended, they explored the land from the desert of Sin, all the way to Rehob, as one enters into Hamath.
22 E subiram para a banda do sul, e vieram até Hebron; e estavam ali Aiman, Sesai, e Talmai, filhos d'Enac: e Hebron foi edificada sete annos antes de Zoan no Egypto.
And they ascended by the south side. And they arrived at Hebron, where there were Ahiman and Shishai and Talmai, the sons of Anak. For Hebron was founded seven years before Tanis, the city of Egypt.
23 Depois vieram até ao valle d'Escol, e d'ali cortaram um ramo de vide com um cacho d'uvas, o qual trouxeram dois homens sobre uma verga: como tambem das romãs e dos figos.
And continuing on as far as the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, they cut off a vine with its grapes, which two men carried on a board. Likewise, they took from the pomegranates and the figs of that place,
24 Chamaram áquelle logar o valle d'Escol, por causa do cacho que d'ali cortaram os filhos de Israel.
which was called Nehel Eshcol, that is, the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, because the sons of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes from there.
25 Depois tornaram-se d'espiar a terra, ao fim de quarenta dias.
And those exploring the land returned after forty days, having circulated through the entire region.
26 E caminharam, e vieram a Moysés e a Aarão, e a toda a congregação dos filhos de Israel no deserto de Paran, a Cades, e, tornando, deram-lhes conta a elles, e a toda a congregação, e mostraram-lhes o fructo da terra
And they went to Moses and Aaron, and to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel in the desert of Paran, which is in Kadesh. And speaking to them, and to the entire multitude, they showed them the fruits of the land.
27 E contaram-lhe e disseram: Fomos á terra a que nos enviaste; e verdadeiramente mana leite e mel, e este é o fructo.
And they explained, saying: “We went into the land, to which you sent us, which, it is true, flows with milk and honey, as one can know by these fruits.
28 O povo porém que habita n'essa terra é poderoso, e as cidades fortes e mui grandes; e tambem ali vimos os filhos d'Enac.
But it has very strong occupants, and the cities are great and also walled. We saw the race of Anak there.
29 Os amalequitas habitam na terra do sul; e os heteos, e os jebuseos, e os amorrheos habitam na montanha: e os cananeos habitam ao pé do mar, e pela ribeira do Jordão.
Amalek lives in the south. The Hethite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the mountains. And truly, the Canaanite stays near the sea and around the streams of the Jordan.”
30 Então Caleb fez calar o povo perante Moysés, e disse: Subamos animosamente, e possuamol-a em herança: porque certamente prevaleceremos contra ella.
During these events, Caleb, to restrain the murmuring of the people who rose up against Moses, said, “Let us ascend and possess the land, for we will be able to obtain it.”
31 Porém os homens que com elle subiram disseram: Não poderemos subir contra aquelle povo, porque é mais forte do que nós.
Yet truly, the others, who had been with him, were saying, “By no means are we able to ascend to this people, because they are stronger than we are.”
32 E infamaram a terra que tinham espiado para com os filhos d'Israel, dizendo: A terra, pelo meio da qual passamos a espiar, é terra que consome os seus moradores; e todo o povo que vimos no meio d'ella são homens de grande estatura.
And before the sons of Israel they disparaged the land, which they had inspected, saying: “The land, which we viewed, devours its inhabitants. The people, upon whom we gazed, were of lofty stature.
33 Tambem vimos ali gigantes, filhos d'Enac, descendentes dos gigantes: e eramos aos nossos olhos como gafanhotos, e assim tambem eramos aos seus olhos.
There, we saw some monsters among the sons of Anak, of the race of giants; by comparison with them, we seemed like locusts.”
