4 Mojzes 13
1 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
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 some men to examine the land of Canaan, which I have given to the people of Israel. Send a man from every tribe of their ancestors. Each man must be a leader 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, so that they might obey Yahweh's command. All of them were leaders among the people 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 were the names of the men whom Moses sent to examine the land. Moses called Hoshea son of Nun by the name of 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 examine the land of Canaan. He said to them, “Approach from 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,
Examine the land to see what it is like. Observe the people who live there, whether they are strong or weak, and 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,
See what the land is like where they live. Is it good or bad? What cities are there? Are they like camps, or are they fortified cities?
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.
See what the land is like, whether it is good for growing crops or not, and whether there are trees there or not. Be brave and bring back samples of the land's produce.” Now the time was the season for the first ripe grapes.
21 Tako so odšli gor in preiskali deželo od Cinske divjine do Rehóba, kakor ljudje pridejo do Hamáta.
So the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near 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 from the Negev and arrived at Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, clans descended from 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.
When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut down a branch with a cluster of grapes. They carried it on a staff between two of their group. They also brought pomegranates and figs.
24 Kraj je bil imenovan potok Eškól zaradi šopa grozdja, ki so ga Izraelovi otroci odrezali od tam.
That place was named the Valley of Eshkol, because of the grape cluster that the people of Israel cut down there.
25 In po štiridesetih dneh so se vrnili iz preiskovanja dežele.
After forty days, they returned from examining the land.
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 came back to Moses, Aaron, and all the community of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the community, and showed them the produce from 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 Moses, “We reached the land to which you sent us. It certainly flows with milk and honey. Here is some produce from 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.
However, the people who make their homes there are strong. The cities are fortified and very large. We also saw 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.«
The Amalekites live in the Negev. The Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites have their homes in the hill country. The Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan River.”
30 Kaléb je ljudstvo pomiril pred Mojzesom in rekel: »Brž pojdimo gor in jo zavzemimo, kajti zelo smo sposobni, da jo premagamo.«
Then Caleb silenced the people who were before Moses and said, “Let us go up and take possession of the land, for we are certainly able to conquer 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 other men who had gone with him said, “We are not able to attack the people because they are stronger than we are.”
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.
So they spread around a discouraging report to the people of Israel about the land that they had examined. They said, “The land that we looked at is a land that eats up its inhabitants. All the people whom we saw there are people of great height.
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 giants, descendants of Anak, people who came from giants. In our own sight we were like grasshoppers in comparison with them, and this is what we were in their sight, too.”
