1Profectusque est populus de Haseroth, fixis tentoriis in deserto Pharan.
1And the LORD said to Moses,
2Ibique locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2“Send out for yourself men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each of their fathers’ tribes send one man who is a leader among them.”
3Mitte viros, qui considerent terram Chanaan, quam daturus sum filiis Israël, singulos de singulis tribubus, ex principibus.
3So at the consent of the LORD, Moses sent them out from the Wilderness of Paran. All the men were leaders of the Israelites,
4Fecit Moyses quod Dominus imperaverat, de deserto Pharan mittens principes viros, quorum ista sunt nomina.
4and these were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
5De tribu Ruben, Sammua filium Zechur.
5from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
6De tribu Simeon, Saphat filium Huri.
6from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
7De tribu Juda, Caleb filium Jephone.
7from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
8De tribu Issachar, Igal filium Joseph.
8from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
9De tribu Ephraim, Osee filium Nun.
9from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
10De tribu Benjamin, Phalti filium Raphu.
10from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
11De tribu Zabulon, Geddiel filium Sodi.
11from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;
12De tribu Joseph, sceptri Manasse, Gaddi filium Susi.
12from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
13De tribu Dan, Ammiel filium Gemalli.
13from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
14De tribu Aser, Sthur filium Michaël.
14from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
15De tribu Nephthali, Nahabi filium Vapsi.
15and from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
16De tribu Gad, Guel filium Machi.
16These were the names of the men Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses gave to Hoshea son of Nun the name Joshua.
17Hæc sunt nomina virorum, quos misit Moyses ad considerandam terram: vocavitque Osee filium Nun, Josue.
17When Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, he told them, “Go up through the Negev and into the hill country.
18Misit ergo eos Moyses ad considerandam terram Chanaan, et dixit ad eos: Ascendite per meridianam plagam. Cumque veneritis ad montes,
18See what the land is like and whether its people are strong or weak, few or many.
19considerate terram, qualis sit: et populum qui habitator est ejus, utrum fortis sit an infirmus: si pauci numero an plures:
19Is the land where they live good or bad? Are the cities where they dwell open camps or fortifications?
20ipsa terra, bona an mala: urbes quales, muratæ an absque muris:
20Is the soil fertile or unproductive? Are there trees in it or not? Be courageous, and bring back some of the fruit of the land.” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)
21humus, pinguis an sterilis, nemorosa an absque arboribus. Confortamini, et afferte nobis de fructibus terræ. Erat autem tempus quando jam præcoquæ uvæ vesci possunt.
21So they went up and spied out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, toward Lebo-hamath.
22Cumque ascendissent, exploraverunt terram a deserto Sin, usque Rohob intrantibus Emath.
22They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, dwelled. It had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
23Ascenderuntque ad meridiem, et venerunt in Hebron, ubi erant Achiman et Sisai et Tholmai filii Enac: nam Hebron septem annis ante Tanim urbem Ægypti condita est.
23When they came to the Valley of Eshcol, they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes, which they carried on a pole between two men. They also took some pomegranates and figs.
24Pergentesque usque ad Torrentem botri, absciderunt palmitem cum uva sua, quem portaverunt in vecte duo viri. De malis quoque granatis et de ficis loci illius tulerunt:
24Because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut there, that place was called the Valley of Eshcol.
25qui appellatus est Nehelescol, id est Torrens botri, eo quod botrum portassent inde filii Israël.
25After forty days the men returned from spying out the land,
26Reversique exploratores terræ post quadraginta dies, omni regione circuita,
26and they went back to Moses, Aaron, and the whole congregation of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran at Kadesh. They brought back a report for the whole congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.
27venerunt ad Moysen et Aaron et ad omnem cœtum filiorum Israël in desertum Pharan, quod est in Cades. Locutique eis et omni multitudini ostenderunt fructus terræ:
27And they gave this account to Moses: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and indeed, it is flowing with milk and honey. Here is some of its fruit!
28et narraverunt, dicentes: Venimus in terram, ad quam misisti nos, quæ revera fluit lacte et melle, ut ex his fructibus cognosci potest:
28Nevertheless, the people living in the land are strong, and the cities are large and fortified. We even saw the descendants of Anak there.
29sed cultores fortissimos habet, et urbes grandes atque muratas. Stirpem Enac vidimus ibi.
29The Amalekites live in the land of the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan.”
30Amalec habitat in meridie, Hethæus et Jebusæus et Amorrhæus in montanis: Chananæus vero moratur juxta mare et circa fluenta Jordanis.
30Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, “We must go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly conquer it!”
31Inter hæc Caleb compescens murmur populi, qui oriebatur contra Moysen, ait: Ascendamus, et possideamus terram, quoniam poterimus obtinere eam.
31But the men who had gone up with him replied, “We cannot go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are!”
32Alii vero, qui fuerant cum eo, dicebant: Nequaquam ad hunc populum valemus ascendere, quia fortior nobis est.
32So they gave the Israelites a bad report about the land that they had spied out: “The land we explored devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw there are great in stature.
33Detraxeruntque terræ, quam inspexerant, apud filios Israël, dicentes: Terra, quam lustravimus, devorat habitatores suos: populus, quem aspeximus, proceræ staturæ est.
33We even saw the Nephilim there—the descendants of Anak that come from the Nephilim! We seemed like grasshoppers in our own sight, and we must have seemed the same to them!”
34Ibi vidimus monstra quædam filiorum Enac de genere giganteo: quibus comparati, quasi locustæ videbamur.
