Bilangan 13

¹TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa:

¹The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

²"Suruhlah beberapa orang mengintai tanah Kanaan, yang akan Kuberikan kepada orang Israel; dari setiap suku nenek moyang mereka haruslah kausuruh seorang, semuanya pemimpin-pemimpin di antara mereka."

²"Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel. From each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a chief among them."

³Lalu Musa menyuruh mereka dari padang gurun Paran, sesuai dengan titah TUHAN; semua orang itu adalah kepala-kepala di antara orang Israel.

³So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, according to the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the people of Israel.

¹⁶Itulah nama orang-orang yang disuruh Musa untuk mengintai negeri itu; dan Musa menamai Hosea bin Nun itu Yosua.

¹⁶These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.

¹⁷Maka Musa menyuruh mereka untuk mengintai tanah Kanaan, katanya kepada mereka: "Pergilah dari sini ke Tanah Negeb dan naiklah ke pegunungan,

¹⁷Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said to them, "Go up into the Negeb and go up into the hill country,

¹⁸dan amat-amatilah bagaimana keadaan negeri itu, apakah bangsa yang mendiaminya kuat atau lemah, apakah mereka sedikit atau banyak;

¹⁸and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many,

¹⁹dan bagaimana negeri yang didiaminya, apakah baik atau buruk, bagaimana kota-kota yang didiaminya, apakah mereka diam di tempat-tempat yang terbuka atau di tempat-tempat yang berkubu,

¹⁹and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds,

²⁰dan bagaimana tanah itu, apakah gemuk atau kurus, apakah ada di sana pohon-pohonan atau tidak. Tabahkanlah hatimu dan bawalah sedikit dari hasil negeri itu." Waktu itu ialah musim hulu hasil anggur.

²⁰and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

²¹Mereka pergi ke sana, lalu mengintai negeri itu mulai dari padang gurun Zin sampai ke Rehob, ke jalan yang menuju ke Hamat.

²¹So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo-hamath.

²²Mereka berjalan melalui Tanah Negeb, lalu sampai ke Hebron; di sana ada Ahiman, Sesai dan Talmai, keturunan Enak. Hebron didirikan tujuh tahun lebih dahulu dari Soan di Mesir.

²²They went up into the Negeb and came to Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

²³Ketika mereka sampai ke lembah Eskol, dipotong merekalah di sana suatu cabang dengan setandan buah anggurnya, lalu berdualah mereka menggandarnya; juga mereka membawa beberapa buah delima dan buah ara.

²³And they came to the Valley of Eshcol and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them; they also brought some pomegranates and figs.

²⁴Tempat itu dinamai orang lembah Eskol, karena tandan buah anggur yang dipotong orang Israel di sana.

²⁴That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster that the people of Israel cut down from there.

²⁵Sesudah lewat empat puluh hari pulanglah mereka dari pengintaian negeri itu,

²⁵At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land.

²⁶dan langsung datang kepada Musa, Harun dan segenap umat Israel di Kadesh, di padang gurun Paran. Mereka membawa pulang kabar kepada keduanya dan kepada segenap umat itu dan memperlihatkan kepada sekaliannya hasil negeri itu.

²⁶And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

²⁷Mereka menceritakan kepadanya: "Kami sudah masuk ke negeri, ke mana kausuruh kami, dan memang negeri itu berlimpah-limpah susu dan madunya, dan inilah hasilnya.

²⁷And they told him, "We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

²⁸Hanya, bangsa yang diam di negeri itu kuat-kuat dan kota-kotanya berkubu dan sangat besar, juga keturunan Enak telah kami lihat di sana.

²⁸However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. And besides, we saw the descendants of Anak there.

²⁹Orang Amalek diam di Tanah Negeb, orang Het, orang Yebus dan orang Amori diam di pegunungan, orang Kanaan diam sepanjang laut dan sepanjang tepi sungai Yordan."

²⁹The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. And the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan."

³⁰Kemudian Kaleb mencoba menenteramkan hati bangsa itu di hadapan Musa, katanya: "Tidak! Kita akan maju dan menduduki negeri itu, sebab kita pasti akan mengalahkannya!"

³⁰But Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "Let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it."

³¹Tetapi orang-orang yang pergi ke sana bersama-sama dengan dia berkata: "Kita tidak dapat maju menyerang bangsa itu, karena mereka lebih kuat dari pada kita."

³¹Then the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we are."

³²Juga mereka menyampaikan kepada orang Israel kabar busuk tentang negeri yang diintai mereka, dengan berkata: "Negeri yang telah kami lalui untuk diintai adalah suatu negeri yang memakan penduduknya, dan semua orang yang kami lihat di sana adalah orang-orang yang tinggi-tinggi perawakannya.

³²So they brought to the people of Israel a bad report of the land that they had spied out, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people that we saw in it are of great height.

³³Juga kami lihat di sana orang-orang raksasa, orang Enak yang berasal dari orang-orang raksasa, dan kami lihat diri kami seperti belalang, dan demikian juga mereka terhadap kami."

³³And there we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them."
