4 Mojzes 13
1 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
The LORD 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 men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them."
3 Mojzes jih je po Gospodovi zapovedi poslal iz Paránske divjine; vsi tisti možje so bili poglavarji Izraelovih otrok.
Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

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 who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
17 Mojzes jih je poslal, da ogledajo kánaansko deželo in jim rekel: »Pojdite gor po tej poti proti jugu in pojdite gor na goro.
Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the Negev, 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 see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are 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 is wood in it, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes."
21 Tako so odšli gor in preiskali deželo od Cinske divjine do Rehóba, kakor ljudje pridejo do Hamáta.
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to Lebo 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.)
They went up by the Negev, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was 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.
They came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes on it, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and 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 cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
25 In po štiridesetih dneh so se vrnili iz preiskovanja dežele.
They returned from spying out the land at the end of 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.
They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed 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.
They told him, and said, "We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.
28 Vendar je ljudstvo, ki prebiva v deželi močno in mesta so obzidana in zelo velika in poleg tega smo tam videli Anákove otroke.
However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the descendants 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 Negev: and the Hethites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along 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.«
Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome 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 who went up with him said, "We aren't 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.
They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw 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.«
There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
