¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

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.”

²Odpošlji može, da naj ogledajo deželo Kanaansko, ki jo dam sinovom Izraelovim; iz vsakega rodu njih očetov pošljite po enega moža, in sleherni bodi prvak med njimi.

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.

³Nato jih je poslal Mojzes iz puščave Paranske po ukazu GOSPODOVEM, samo take može, ki so bili glave Izraelovim sinovom.

¹⁶These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.

¹⁶To so imena mož, ki jih je Mojzes poslal ogledovat deželo; Hozea pa, sina Nunovega, je imenoval Mojzes Jozueta.

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:

¹⁷In ko jih je Mojzes pošiljal ogledovat deželo Kanaansko, jim reče: Pojdite tod skozi Južno stran in stopite na gore,

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;

¹⁸in oglejte si deželo, kakova je, ter ljudstvo, ki prebiva v njej, je li krepko ali slabotno, ga je li malo ali mnogo,

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;

¹⁹in kakšna je dežela, ki prebivajo v njej, je li dobra ali slaba, in kakšna so mesta, ki bivajo v njih, ali v šatorih ali v trdnjavah;

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.”

²⁰in kakšna zemlja, je li mastna ali puhličasta, ima li drevja ali ne. Hrabri bodite in prinesite sadu tiste dežele. Bil je pa čas zgodnjega grozdja.

²¹So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.

²¹Šli so torej gori in ogledali deželo od puščave Zinske tja do Rehoba, kjer se gre v 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.)

²²Nato so šli skozi Južno stran in prispeli v Hebron, in tu so bili Ahiman, Sesaj in Talmaj, otroci Enakovi. Hebron pa je bil sezidan sedem let poprej nego Zoan v Egiptu.

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.

²³In prišli so do potoka Eškola in tu odrezali mladiko z enim grozdom, in nesli so ga na drogu po dva moža; nesli so tudi margaranovih jabolk in smokev.

²⁴That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.

²⁴Ta kraj se je imenoval potok Eškol [T. j. Grozdovec.] zaradi grozda, ki so ga ondi odrezali sinovi Izraelovi.

²⁵They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.

²⁵In ko so ogledali deželo, se vrnejo po štiridesetih dnevih,

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.

²⁶in gredo ter pridejo k Mojzesu in Aronu in k vsej občini Izraelovi v puščavo Paransko, v Kades; in prineso njima in vsej občini poročilo ter jim pokažejo sad dežele.

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.

²⁷In pripovedujejo mu, govoreč: Prišli smo v deželo, kamor si nas poslal, in zares teče v njej mleko in med, in to je njen sad.

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.

²⁸Toda močno ljudstvo je, ki prebiva v njej, in mesta so trdna in prevelika, in vrhutega smo tam videli otroke Enakove.

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.”

²⁹Amalek prebiva v pokrajini na jugu, Hetejci pa in Jebusejci in Amorejci prebivajo v gorah, a Kanaanci prebivajo ob morju in poleg Jordana.

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.”

³⁰A Kaleb je tolažil ljudstvo pred Mojzesom in rekel: Dajte, da gremo gori in jo posedemo, zakaj prav lahko jo obvladamo.

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.”

³¹Ali možje, ki so bili šli gori ž njim, reko: Nikakor ne moremo iti gori proti tistemu ljudstvu, kajti močnejši so od nas.

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.

³²In spravili so v slab glas deželo, ki so jo ogledali, med sinovi Izraelovimi, govoreč: Dežela, skozi katero smo šli, da si jo ogledamo, je dežela, ki požira prebivalce svoje, in kar smo videli ljudstva v njej, vsi so možje visoke postave.Videli smo tam tudi velikane, sinove Enakove, ki so iz velikanov, in zdelo se nam je, da smo kakor kobilice, in taki smo tudi bili v njih hočeh.

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.”

³³Videli smo tam tudi velikane, sinove Enakove, ki so iz velikanov, in zdelo se nam je, da smo kakor kobilice, in taki smo tudi bili v njih hočeh.
