< 4 Mojzes 13 >

1 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 »Pošlji može, da bodo lahko preiskali kánaansko deželo, ki jo dajem Izraelovim otrokom. Iz vsakega rodu njihovih očetov boste poslali človeka, vsakega, ki je voditelj med njimi.«
Send thou men, that they may search out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Ye shall send a man of every tribe of his fathers, each a prince among them.
3 Mojzes jih je po Gospodovi zapovedi poslal iz Paránske divjine; vsi tisti možje so bili poglavarji Izraelovih otrok.
And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran: according to the commandment of Jehovah, all of them heads of the children of Israel.
4 To so bila njihova imena: iz Rubenovega rodu Zahúrjev sin Šamúa,

16 To so imena mož, ki jih je Mojzes poslal, da ogledajo deželo. Mojzes je Nunovega sina Hošéa imenoval Ješua.
These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua.
17 Mojzes jih je poslal, da ogledajo kánaansko deželo in jim rekel: »Pojdite gor po tej poti proti jugu in pojdite gor na goro.
And Moses sent them to search out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the south and go up into the hill-country,
18 Oglejte si deželo, kakšna je in ljudstvo, ki prebiva v njej, če so močni ali šibki, maloštevilni ali številni,
and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;
19 in kakšna je dežela, ki v njej prebivajo, bodisi je ta dobra ali slaba, in kakšna mesta so, ki v njih prebivajo, ali so v šotorih ali v oporiščih,
and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in camps, or in strongholds;
20 in kakšna je dežela, ali je ta obilna ali revna, ali je tam les ali ne. In bodite odločnega poguma in prinesite sad dežele.« Torej bil je čas prvih sadov grozdja.
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first grapes.
21 Tako so odšli gor in preiskali deželo od Cinske divjine do Rehóba, kakor ljudje pridejo do Hamáta.
And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.
22 Povzpeli so se pri jugu in prišli do Hebróna, kjer so bili Ahimán, Šešáj in Talmáj, Anákovi otroci. (Torej Hebrón je bil zgrajen sedem let pred Coanom v Egiptu.)
And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
23 Prišli so k Eškólskemu potoku in od tam odrezali vejo z enim šopom grozdja in nosili so jo med dvema na palici in prinesli so od granatovcev in od fig.
And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a pole; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 Kraj je bil imenovan potok Eškól zaradi šopa grozdja, ki so ga Izraelovi otroci odrezali od tam.
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there.
25 In po štiridesetih dneh so se vrnili iz preiskovanja dežele.
And they returned from searching out the land after forty days.
26 Šli so in prišli k Mojzesu in Aronu in k vsej skupnosti Izraelovih otrok v Paránsko divjino, do Kadeša in jima nazaj prinesli besedo in vsej skupnosti in jim pokazali sad dežele.
And they came, and went to Moses and to Aaron, and to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to the whole assembly; and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 Povedali so mu in rekli: »Prišli smo do dežele, kamor nas pošiljaš in ta zagotovo teče z mlekom in medom, in to je njen sad.
And they told him, and said, We came to the land to which thou didst send us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Vendar je ljudstvo, ki prebiva v deželi močno in mesta so obzidana in zelo velika in poleg tega smo tam videli Anákove otroke.
Only, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, very great; moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 Amalečani prebivajo v južni deželi; Hetejci, Jebusejci in Amoréjci prebivajo v gorah, Kánaanci pa prebivajo poleg morja in ob jordanski pokrajini.«
Amalek dwells in the land of the south; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
30 Kaléb je ljudstvo pomiril pred Mojzesom in rekel: »Brž pojdimo gor in jo zavzemimo, kajti zelo smo sposobni, da jo premagamo.«
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up boldly and possess it, for we are well able to do it.
31 Toda možje, ki so odšli z njim, so rekli: »Mi nismo zmožni oditi gor zoper ljudstvo, kajti oni so močnejši od nas.«
But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
32 Izraelovim otrokom so prinesli zlo poročilo o deželi, ki so jo preiskali, rekoč: »Dežela, skozi katero smo šli, da jo preiščemo, je dežela, ki požira svoje prebivalce. Vse ljudstvo, ki smo ga videli v njej, so možje velike postave.
And they brought to the children of Israel an evil report of the land which they had searched out, saying, The land, which we have passed through to search it out, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we have seen in it are men of great stature;
33 Tam smo videli velikane, Anákove sinove, ki so izšli iz velikanov in v svojih očeh smo bili kakor kobilice in takšni smo bili v njihovem pogledu.«
and there have we seen giants — the sons of Anak are of the giants — and we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were also in their sight.
