1Profectusque est populus de Haseroth, fixis tentoriis in deserto Pharan.
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2Ibique locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2'Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel; of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince among them.'
3Mitte viros, qui considerent terram Chanaan, quam daturus sum filiis Israël, singulos de singulis tribubus, ex principibus.
3And 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.
4Fecit Moyses quod Dominus imperaverat, de deserto Pharan mittens principes viros, quorum ista sunt nomina.
4And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
5De tribu Ruben, Sammua filium Zechur.
5Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
6De tribu Simeon, Saphat filium Huri.
6Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
7De tribu Juda, Caleb filium Jephone.
7Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
8De tribu Issachar, Igal filium Joseph.
8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.
9De tribu Ephraim, Osee filium Nun.
9Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
10De tribu Benjamin, Phalti filium Raphu.
10Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
11De tribu Zabulon, Geddiel filium Sodi.
11Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
12De tribu Joseph, sceptri Manasse, Gaddi filium Susi.
12Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
13De tribu Dan, Ammiel filium Gemalli.
13Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
14De tribu Aser, Sthur filium Michaël.
14Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
15De tribu Nephthali, Nahabi filium Vapsi.
15Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16De tribu Gad, Guel filium Machi.
16These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
17Hæc sunt nomina virorum, quos misit Moyses ad considerandam terram: vocavitque Osee filium Nun, Josue.
17And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them: 'Get you up here into the South, and go up into the mountains;
18Misit ergo eos Moyses ad considerandam terram Chanaan, et dixit ad eos: Ascendite per meridianam plagam. Cumque veneritis ad montes,
18and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
19considerate terram, qualis sit: et populum qui habitator est ejus, utrum fortis sit an infirmus: si pauci numero an plures:
19and 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;
20ipsa terra, bona an mala: urbes quales, muratæ an absque muris:
20and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land.' — Now the time was the time of 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 unto Rehob, at the entrance to Hamath.
22Cumque ascendissent, exploraverunt terram a deserto Sin, usque Rohob intrantibus Emath.
22And they went up into the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. — Now Hebron was 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.
23And they came unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a pole between two; they took also of the pomegranates, and of the 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:
24That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence. —
25qui appellatus est Nehelescol, id est Torrens botri, eo quod botrum portassent inde filii Israël.
25And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
26Reversique exploratores terræ post quadraginta dies, omni regione circuita,
26And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the 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 told him, and said: 'We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28et narraverunt, dicentes: Venimus in terram, ad quam misisti nos, quæ revera fluit lacte et melle, ut ex his fructibus cognosci potest:
28Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are fierce, and the cities are fortified, and very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29sed cultores fortissimos habet, et urbes grandes atque muratas. Stirpem Enac vidimus ibi.
29Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South; and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.'
30Amalec habitat in meridie, Hethæus et Jebusæus et Amorrhæus in montanis: Chananæus vero moratur juxta mare et circa fluenta Jordanis.
30And Caleb stilled the people toward Moses, and said: 'We should go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.'
31Inter hæc Caleb compescens murmur populi, qui oriebatur contra Moysen, ait: Ascendamus, et possideamus terram, quoniam poterimus obtinere eam.
31But the men that went up with him said: 'We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.'
32Alii vero, qui fuerant cum eo, dicebant: Nequaquam ad hunc populum valemus ascendere, quia fortior nobis est.
32And they spread an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, through which we have passed to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.
33Detraxeruntque terræ, quam inspexerant, apud filios Israël, dicentes: Terra, quam lustravimus, devorat habitatores suos: populus, quem aspeximus, proceræ staturæ est.
33And 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.'
34Ibi vidimus monstra quædam filiorum Enac de genere giganteo: quibus comparati, quasi locustæ videbamur.
