ثُمَّ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا: ١ 1
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
«أَرْسِلْ رِجَالًا لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا مُعْطِيهَا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا لِكُلِّ سِبْطٍ مِنْ آبَائِهِ تُرْسِلُونَ. كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ رَئِيسٌ فِيهِمْ». ٢ 2
“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.”
فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ. كُلُّهُمْ رِجَالٌ هُمْ رُؤَسَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، ٣ 3
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.
وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ: مِنْ سِبْطِ رَأُوبَيْنَ شَمُّوعُ بْنُ زَكُّورَ. ٤ 4
These were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
مِنْ سِبْطِ شِمْعُونَ شَافَاطُ ٱبْنُ حُورِي. ٥ 5
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
مِنْ سِبْطِ يَهُوذَا كَالِبُ بْنُ يَفُنَّةَ. ٦ 6
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
مِنْ سِبْطِ يَسَّاكَرَ يَجْآلُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ. ٧ 7
from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
مِنْ سِبْطِ أَفْرَايِمَ هُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونَ. ٨ 8
from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
مِنْ سِبْطِ بَنْيَامِينَ فَلْطِي بْنُ رَافُو. ٩ 9
from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
مِنْ سِبْطِ زَبُولُونَ جَدِّيئِيلُ بْنُ سُودِي. ١٠ 10
from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
مِنْ سِبْطِ يُوسُفَ مِنْ سِبْطِ مَنَسَّى جِدِّي بْنُ سُوسِي. ١١ 11
from the tribe of Joseph (that is to say, from the tribe Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
مِنْ سِبْطِ دَانَ عَمِّيئِيلُ بْنُ جَمَلِّي. ١٢ 12
from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
مِنْ سِبْطِ أَشِيرَ سَتُورُ بْنُ مِيخَائِيلَ. ١٣ 13
from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
مِنْ سِبْطِ نَفْتَالِي نَحْبِي بْنُ وَفْسِي. ١٤ 14
from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
مِنْ سِبْطِ جَادَ جَأُوئِيلُ بْنُ مَاكِي. ١٥ 15
from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.
هَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلَّذِينَ أَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ. وَدَعَا مُوسَى هُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونَ «يَشُوعَ». ١٦ 16
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.
فَأَرْسَلَهُمْ مُوسَى لِيَتَجَسَّسُوا أَرْضَ كَنْعَانَ، وَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱصْعَدُوا مِنْ هُنَا إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَٱطْلَعُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، ١٧ 17
Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan. He said to them, “Approach from the Negev and go up into the hill country.
وَٱنْظُرُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ، مَا هِيَ: وَٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلسَّاكِنَ فِيهَا، أَقَوِيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ ضَعِيفٌ؟ قَلِيلٌ أَمْ كَثِيرٌ؟ ١٨ 18
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.
وَكَيْفَ هِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِيهَا، أَجَيِّدَةٌ أَمْ رَدِيَّةٌ؟ وَمَا هِيَ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ سَاكِنٌ فِيهَا، أَمُخَيَّمَاتٌ أَمْ حُصُونٌ؟ ١٩ 19
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?
وَكَيْفَ هِيَ ٱلْأَرْضُ، أَسَمِينَةٌ أَمْ هَزِيلَةٌ؟ أَفِيهَا شَجَرٌ أَمْ لَا؟ وَتَشَدَّدُوا فَخُذُوا مِنْ ثَمَرِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». وَأَمَّا ٱلْأَيَّامُ فَكَانَتْ أَيَّامَ بَاكُورَاتِ ٱلْعِنَبِ. ٢٠ 20
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.
فَصَعِدُوا وَتَجَسَّسُوا ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ بَرِّيَّةِ صِينَ إِلَى رَحُوبَ فِي مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ. ٢١ 21
So the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo Hamath.
صَعِدُوا إِلَى ٱلْجَنُوبِ وَأَتَوْا إِلَى حَبْرُونَ. وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ أَخِيمَانُ وَشِيشَايُ وَتَلْمَايُ بَنُو عَنَاقٍ. وَأَمَّا حَبْرُونُ فَبُنِيَتْ قَبْلَ صُوعَنِ مِصْرَ بِسَبْعِ سِنِينَ. ٢٢ 22
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.
وَأَتَوْا إِلَى وَادِي أَشْكُولَ، وَقَطَفُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ زَرَجُونَةً بِعُنْقُودٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ ٱلْعِنَبِ، وَحَمَلُوهُ بِٱلدُّقْرَانَةِ بَيْنَ ٱثْنَيْنِ، مَعَ شَيْءٍ مِنَ ٱلرُّمَّانِ وَٱلتِّينِ. ٢٣ 23
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.
فَدُعِيَ ذَلِكَ ٱلْمَوْضِعُ «وَادِيَ أَشْكُولَ» بِسَبَبِ ٱلْعُنْقُودِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ. ٢٤ 24
That place was named the Valley of Eshkol, because of the grape cluster that the people of Israel cut down there.
ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا مِنْ تَجَسُّسِ ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. ٢٥ 25
After forty days, they returned from examining the land.
فَسَارُوا حَتَّى أَتَوْا إِلَى مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَكُلِّ جَمَاعَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ، إِلَى قَادَشَ، وَرَدُّوا إِلَيْهِمَا خَبَرًا وَإِلَى كُلِّ ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ وَأَرَوْهُمْ ثَمَرَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٢٦ 26
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.
وَأَخْبَرُوهُ وَقَالُوا: «قَدْ ذَهَبْنَا إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَرْسَلْتَنَا إِلَيْهَا، وَحَقًّا إِنَّهَا تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا وَعَسَلًا، وَهَذَا ثَمَرُهَا. ٢٧ 27
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.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ ٱلشَّعْبَ ٱلسَّاكِنَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مُعْتَزٌّ، وَٱلْمُدُنُ حَصِينَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ جِدًّا. وَأَيْضًا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا بَنِي عَنَاقَ هُنَاكَ. ٢٨ 28
However, the people who make their homes there are strong. The cities are fortified and very large. We also saw descendants of Anak there.
ٱلْعَمَالِقَةُ سَاكِنُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، وَٱلْحِثِّيُّونَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيُّونَ وَٱلْأَمُورِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيُّونَ سَاكِنُونَ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَعَلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ». ٢٩ 29
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.”
لَكِنْ كَالِبُ أَنْصَتَ ٱلشَّعْبَ إِلَى مُوسَى وَقَالَ: «إِنَّنَا نَصْعَدُ وَنَمْتَلِكُهَا لِأَنَّنَا قَادِرُونَ عَلَيْهَا». ٣٠ 30
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.”
وَأَمَّا ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ صَعِدُوا مَعَهُ فَقَالُوا: «لَا نَقْدِرْ أَنْ نَصْعَدَ إِلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَشَدُّ مِنَّا». ٣١ 31
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.”
فَأَشَاعُوا مَذَمَّةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي تَجَسَّسُوهَا، فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلِينَ: «ٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلَّتِي مَرَرْنَا فِيهَا لِنَتَجَسَّسَهَا هِيَ أَرْضٌ تَأْكُلُ سُكَّانَهَا، وَجَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي رَأَيْنَا فِيهَا أُنَاسٌ طِوَالُ ٱلْقَامَةِ. ٣٢ 32
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.
وَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا هُنَاكَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةَ، بَنِي عَنَاقٍ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَابِرَةِ. فَكُنَّا فِي أَعْيُنِنَا كَٱلْجَرَادِ، وَهَكَذَا كُنَّا فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ». ٣٣ 33
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.”
