< Numbers 13 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
2 Send for thee men, and let them spy the land of the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for a tribe, thou shalt send them away according to their families, every one of them a prince.
“Pošalji ljude, po jednoga čovjeka iz pojedinog pradjedovskog plemena, da izvide kanaansku zemlju, koju dajem Izraelcima. Pošaljite sve njihove glavare!”
3 And Moses sent them out of the wilderness of Pharan by the word of the Lord; all these [were] the princes of the sons of Israel.
Na Jahvinu zapovijed Mojsije ih posla iz pustinje Parana. Svi ti ljudi bijahu glavari Izraelaca.
4 And these [are] their names: of the tribe of Ruben, Samuel the son of Zachur.
A ovo su njihova imena: Šamua, sin Zakurov, od plemena Rubenova;
5 Of the tribe of Symeon, Saphat the son of Suri.
Šafat, sin Horijev, od plemena Šimunova;
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Chaleb the son of Jephonne.
Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, od plemena Judina;
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Ilaal the son of Joseph.
Jigal, sin Josipov, od plemena Jisakarova;
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Ause the son of Naue.
Hošea, sin Nunov, od plemena Efrajimova;
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu.
Palti, sin Rafuov, od plemena Benjaminova;
10 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Gudiel the son of Sudi.
Gadiel, sin Sodijev, od plemena Zebulunova;
11 Of the tribe of Joseph of the sons of Manasse, Gaddi the son of Susi.
Gadi, sin Susijev, od plemena Josipova, od plemena Manašeova;
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Amiel the son of Gamali.
Amiel, sin Gemalijev, od plemena Danova;
13 Of the tribe of Aser, Sathur the son of Michael.
Setur, sin Mikaelov, od plemena Ašerova;
14 Of the tribe of Nephthali, Nabi the son of Sabi.
Nahbi, sin Vofsijev, od plemena Naftalijeva;
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Gudiel the son of Macchi.
Geuel, sin Makijev, od plemena Gadova.
16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Ause the son of Naue, Joshua.
To su imena ljudi koje je Mojsije poslao da izvide zemlju. A Hošeu, sina Nunova, Mojsije prozva Jošuom.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Chanaan, and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and ye shall go up to the mountain,
Posla ih Mojsije da izvide kanaansku zemlju pa im reče: “Idite gore u Negeb, onda se popnite na brdo.
18 and ye shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or [whether] they are few or many.
Razgledajte zemlju kakva je. Je li narod koji u njoj živi jak ili slab, malobrojan ili mnogobrojan?
19 And what the land is on which they dwell, [whether] it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether they dwell in walled [cities] or unwalled.
Kakva je zemlja u kojoj živi: dobra ili rđava? Kakvi su gradovi u kojima borave: otvoreni ili utvrđeni?
20 And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and ye shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days [were] the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.
Kakvo je tlo: plodno ili mršavo? Ima li po njemu drveća ili nema? Odvažni budite i ponesite plodova te zemlje.” Bilo je upravo vrijeme ranog grožđa.
21 And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.
Odu oni gore da izvide zemlju od pustinje Sina do Rehoba, koji je na ulazu u Hamat.
22 And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.
Popnu se u Negeb i dođu do Hebrona, gdje su se nalazili Ahiman, Šešaj i Talmaj, Anakovi potomci. - Hebron je osnovan sedam godina prije nego Soan u Egiptu. -
23 And they came to the valley of the cluster and surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes upon it, and bore it on staves, and [they took] of the pomegranates and the figs.
Kada stigoše u Dolinu Eškol, odrezaše ondje lozu s grozdom i ponesoše ga, udvoje, na motki; ponesoše i mogranja i smokava.
24 And they called that place, The valley of the cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
Ono se mjesto prozva Dolina Eškol zbog grozda koji su ondje Izraelci odrezali.
25 And they returned from thence, having surveyed the land, after forty days.
Nakon četrdeset dana vrate se iz zemlje koju su izviđali.
26 And they proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Pharan Cades; and they brought word to them and to all the congregation, and they shewed the fruit of the land:
Odu k Mojsiju i Aronu i svoj izraelskoj zajednici u Kadeš, u Paranskoj pustinji. Podnesu njima i svoj zajednici izvještaj, a onda im pokažu plodove zemlje.
27 and they reported to him, and said, We came into the land into which thou sentest us, a land flowing with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Izvijeste ga oni: “Išli smo u zemlju u koju si nas poslao. Zaista njome teče med i mlijeko. Evo njezinih plodova.
28 Only the nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children of Enach.
Ali je jak narod koji u onoj zemlji živi, gradovi su utvrđeni i vrlo veliki. A vidjesmo ondje i potomke Anakove.
29 And Amalec dwells in the land toward the south: and the Chettite and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwells in the hill country: and the Chananite dwells by the sea, and by the river Jordan.
Amalečani borave u negepskom kraju: Hetiti, Jebusejci i Amorejci žive u brdu; a Kanaanci se nalaze uz more i duž Jordana.”
30 And Chaleb stayed the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them.
Kaleb ušutka narod oko Mojsija i progovori: “Krenimo ne oklijevajući i zauzmimo je, jer je možemo nadvladati!”
31 But the men that went up together with him said, We will not go up, for we shall not by any means be able to go up against the nation, for it is much stronger than we.
Ali ljudi što su s njim išli odvratiše: “Ne možemo ići na onaj narod jer je jači od nas.”
32 And they brought a horror of that land which they surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary stature.
I počnu ozloglašivati Izraelcima zemlju koju su izviđali: “Zemlja kroz koju smo prošli da je izvidimo zemlja je što proždire svoje stanovništvo. Sav narod što ga u njoj vidjesmo ljudi su krupna stasa.
33 And there we saw the giants; and we were before them as locusts, yea even so were we before them.
Vidjesmo ondje i divove - Anakovo potomstvo od divova. Činilo nam se da smo prema njima kao skakavci. Takvi bijasmo i njima.”
