1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
1TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
2“Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them.”
2"Dari setiap suku Israel utuslah seorang dari antara pemimpin-pemimpinnya untuk memata-matai tanah Kanaan yang akan Kuberikan kepada orang Israel."
3Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of Yahweh: all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.
3Sesuai dengan perintah Allah itu, Musa mengutus mereka dari padang gurun Paran. Semua orang itu adalah pemimpin-pemimpin di antara orang Israel: (Suku-Pemimpin), Ruben-Syamua anak Zakur, Simeon-Safat anak Hori, Yehuda-Kaleb anak Yefune, Isakhar-Yigal anak Yusuf, Efraim-Hosea anak Nun, Benyamin-Palti anak Rafu, Zebulon-Gadiel anak Sodi, Manasye-Gadi anak Susi, Dan-Amiel anak Gemali, Asyer-Setur anak Mikhael, Naftali-Nahbi anak Wofsi, Gad-Guel anak Makhi.
4These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
4(13:3)
5Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
5(13:3)
6Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
6(13:3)

7(13:3)
8Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea the son of Nun.
8(13:3)
9Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
9(13:3)
10Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
10(13:3)
11Of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
11(13:3)
12Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.

13(13:3)
14Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
14(13:3)
15Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
15(13:3)
16These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
16Itulah mata-mata yang diutus Musa untuk mengintai negeri itu. Hosea anak Nun diganti namanya oleh Musa menjadi Yosua.
17Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country:
17Ketika Musa menyuruh mereka berangkat, ia berpesan kepada mereka, "Berjalanlah ke arah utara, menuju bagian selatan tanah Kanaan, lalu terus ke daerah berbukit.
18and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
18Selidikilah bagaimana negeri itu, apakah penduduknya banyak atau sedikit, apakah mereka kuat atau lemah.
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;
19Periksalah apakah negeri itu baik atau tidak, dan apakah penduduknya tinggal di desa-desa yang terbuka atau dalam kota-kota yang berbenteng.
20and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.”
20Tabahkanlah hatimu. Lihatlah apakah tanahnya subur dan banyak pohon-pohonnya. Jangan lupa membawa pulang sedikit buah-buahan yang tumbuh di sana." Waktu itu permulaan musim anggur.
21So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
21Maka pergilah orang-orang itu ke arah utara dan menyelidiki negeri itu mulai dari padang gurun Zin di sebelah selatan ke utara sampai kota Rehob, dekat jalan ke Hamat.
22They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
22Mula-mula mereka pergi ke bagian selatan negeri itu dan tiba di kota Hebron, tempat tinggal orang-orang Ahiman, Sesai dan Talmai, keturunan Enak. Hebron didirikan tujuh tahun sebelum kota Zoan di Mesir.
23They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
23Lalu tibalah mereka di lembah Eskol. Di situ mereka memotong seranting buah anggur yang begitu berat, sehingga harus dipikul dengan sebatang kayu oleh dua orang. Mereka membawa juga beberapa buah delima dan buah ara.
24That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
24Tempat itu disebut Lembah Eskol karena ranting buah anggur yang dipotong oleh orang Israel di situ.
25They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
25Sesudah menyelidiki negeri itu empat puluh hari lamanya, mata-mata itu kembali
26They went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
26dan memberi laporan kepada Musa, Harun dan seluruh umat Israel yang sedang berkumpul di Kades, di padang gurun Paran. Mereka menceritakan apa yang sudah mereka lihat dan menunjukkan buah-buahan yang mereka bawa.
27They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us; and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is its fruit.
27Kata mereka kepada Musa, "Kami sudah menyelidiki negeri itu dan melihat bahwa tanahnya kaya dan subur, dan ini sedikit buah-buahan dari sana.
28However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.
28Tetapi penduduk negeri itu kuat-kuat. Kota-kota mereka besar-besar dan berbenteng. Lagipula, kami melihat orang-orang keturunan raksasa di sana.
29Amalek dwells in the land of the South: and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.”
29Orang Amalek tinggal di bagian selatan negeri itu; orang Het, Yebus dan Amori tinggal di daerah berbukit; sedangkan orang Kanaan mendiami daerah di sepanjang laut dan di sepanjang Sungai Yordan."
30Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.”
30Tetapi Kaleb menenangkan hati orang-orang yang mengeluh kepada Musa. Kata Kaleb, "Negeri itu harus kita serang dan kita rebut sekarang juga, karena kita cukup kuat untuk mengalahkannya."
31But the men who went up with him said, “We aren’t able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.”
31Tetapi orang-orang yang kembali dengan Kaleb itu berkata, "Tidak, kita tidak sanggup menyerang mereka. Penduduk negeri itu lebih kuat dari kita."
32They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
32Lalu mereka menyebarkan cerita bohong di kalangan orang Israel tentang negeri yang sudah mereka mata-matai itu. Kata mereka, "Negeri itu sangat berbahaya, bahkan untuk penduduknya sendiri. Orang-orang yang kami lihat di sana sangat besar badannya.
33There 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.”
33Bahkan kami melihat orang-orang yang seperti raksasa, yaitu keturunan orang Enak. Dibandingkan dengan mereka, kami merasa seperti belalang, dan pasti begitulah anggapan mereka terhadap kami."
