Ricognizione in Canaan
13 Il Signore disse a Mosè: 2 «Manda uomini a esplorare il paese di Canaan che sto per dare agli Israeliti. Mandate un uomo per ogni tribù dei loro padri; siano tutti dei loro capi». 3 Mosè li mandò dal deserto di Paran, secondo il comando del Signore; quegli uomini erano tutti capi degli Israeliti.
4 Questi erano i loro nomi: per la tribù di Ruben, Sammua figlio di Zaccur; 5 per la tribù di Simeone, Safat figlio di Cori; 6 per la tribù di Giuda, Caleb figlio di Iefunne; 7 per la tribù di Issacar, Igheal figlio di Giuseppe; per la tribù di Efraim, 8 Osea figlio di Nun; 9 per la tribù di Beniamino, Palti figlio di Rafu; 10 per la tribù di Zàbulon, Gaddiel figlio di Sodi; 11 per la tribù di Giuseppe, cioè per la tribù di Manàsse, Gaddi figlio di Susi; 12 per la tribù di Dan, Ammiel figlio di Ghemalli; 13 per la tribù di Aser, Setur figlio di Michele; 14 per la tribù di Nèftali, Nacbi figlio di Vofsi; 15 per la tribù di Gad, Gheuel figlio di Machi. 16 Questi sono i nomi degli uomini che Mosè mandò a esplorare il paese. Mosè diede ad Osea, figlio di Nun, il nome di Giosuè.
17 Mosè dunque li mandò a esplorare il paese di Canaan e disse loro: «Salite attraverso il Negheb; poi salirete alla regione montana 18 e osserverete che paese sia, che popolo l'abiti, se forte o debole, se poco o molto numeroso; 19 come sia la regione che esso abita, se buona o cattiva, e come siano le città dove abita, se siano accampamenti o luoghi fortificati; 20 come sia il terreno, se fertile o sterile, se vi siano alberi o no. Siate coraggiosi e portate frutti del paese». Era il tempo in cui cominciava a maturare l'uva.
21 Quelli dunque salirono ed esplorarono il paese dal deserto di Sin, fino a Recob, in direzione di Amat. 22 Salirono attraverso il Negheb e andarono fino a Ebron, dove erano Achiman, Sesai e Talmai, figli di Anak. Ora Ebron era stata edificata sette anni prima di Tanis in Egitto. 23 Giunsero fino alla valle di Escol, dove tagliarono un tralcio con un grappolo d'uva, che portarono in due con una stanga, e presero anche melagrane e fichi.
24 Quel luogo fu chiamato valle di Escol a causa del grappolo d'uva che gli Israeliti vi tagliarono.
Il rapporto degli esploratori
25 Alla fine di quaranta giorni tornarono dall'esplorazione del paese 26 e andarono a trovare Mosè e Aronne e tutta la comunità degli Israeliti nel deserto di Paran, a Kades; riferirono ogni cosa a loro e a tutta la comunità e mostrarono loro i frutti del paese. 27 Raccontarono: «Noi siamo arrivati nel paese dove tu ci avevi mandato ed è davvero un paese dove scorre latte e miele; ecco i suoi frutti. 28 Ma il popolo che abita il paese è potente, le città sono fortificate e immense e vi abbiamo anche visto i figli di Anak. 29 Gli Amaleciti abitano la regione del Negheb; gli Hittiti, i Gebusei e gli Amorrei le montagne; i Cananei abitano presso il mare e lungo la riva del Giordano». 30 Caleb calmò il popolo che mormorava contro Mosè e disse: «Andiamo presto e conquistiamo il paese, perché certo possiamo riuscirvi». 31 Ma gli uomini che vi erano andati con lui dissero: «Noi non saremo capaci di andare contro questo popolo, perché è più forte di noi». 32 Screditarono presso gli Israeliti il paese che avevano esplorato, dicendo: «Il paese che abbiamo attraversato per esplorarlo è un paese che divora i suoi abitanti; tutta la gente che vi abbiamo notata è gente di alta statura; 33 vi abbiamo visto i giganti, figli di Anak, della razza dei giganti, di fronte ai quali ci sembrava di essere come locuste e così dovevamo sembrare a loro».

Spies Sent into Canaan(A)
13 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 (B)“Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.”
3 So Moses sent them (C)from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. 4 Now these were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; 5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori; 6 (D)from the tribe of Judah, (E)Caleb the son of Jephunneh; 7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph; 8 from the tribe of Ephraim, [a]Hoshea the son of Nun; 9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu; 10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi; 11 from the tribe of Joseph, that is, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi; 12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli; 13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael; 14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi; 15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to [b]spy out the land. And Moses called (F)Hoshea[c] the son of Nun, Joshua.
17 Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way into the South, and go up to (G)the mountains, 18 and see what the land is like: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many; 19 whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds; 20 whether the land is [d]rich or poor; and whether there are forests there or not. (H)Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.
21 So they went up and spied out the land (I)from the Wilderness of Zin as far as (J)Rehob, near the entrance of (K)Hamath. 22 And they went up through the South and came to (L)Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of (M)Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.) 23 (N)Then they came to the [e]Valley of Eshcol, and there cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes; they carried it between two of them on a pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs. 24 The place was called the Valley of [f]Eshcol, because of the cluster which the men of Israel cut down there. 25 And they returned from spying out the land after forty days.
26 Now they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at (O)Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 Then they told him, and said: “We went to the land where you sent us. It truly [g]flows with (P)milk and honey, (Q)and this is its fruit. 28 Nevertheless the (R)people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of (S)Anak there. 29 (T)The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.”
30 Then (U)Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
31 (V)But 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.” 32 And they (W)gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and (X)all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the [h]giants ((Y)the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were (Z)like[i] grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were (AA)in their sight.”

Spies Sent into Canaan
13 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 (A)“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.” 3 So Moses sent them from (B)the wilderness of Paran, according to the command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the people of Israel. 4 And these were their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; 5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori; 6 (C)from the tribe of Judah, (D)Caleb the son of Jephunneh; 7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph; 8 from the tribe of Ephraim, (E)Hoshea the son of Nun; 9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu; 10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi; 11 from the tribe of Joseph (that is, from the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi the son of Susi; 12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli; 13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael; 14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi; 15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi. 16 These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called (F)Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.
17 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan and said to them, “Go up into (G)the Negeb and go up into (H)the hill country, 18 and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, 19 and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell in are camps or strongholds, 20 and whether the land is (I)rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. (J)Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.
21 So they went up and spied out the land (K)from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, (L)near Lebo-hamath. 22 They went up into (M)the Negeb and came to (N)Hebron. (O)Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the (P)descendants of Anak, were there. ((Q)Hebron was built seven years before (R)Zoan in Egypt.) 23 And (S)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. 24 That place was called the Valley of Eshcol,[a] because of the cluster that the people of Israel cut down from there.
Report of the Spies
25 At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land. 26 And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at (T)Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him, “We came to the land to which you sent us. It (U)flows with milk and honey, (V)and this is its fruit. 28 (W)However, 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. 29 (X)The Amalekites dwell in the land of the Negeb. The Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill country. (Y)And the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and along the Jordan.”
30 But (Z)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.” 31 (AA)Then 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.” 32 So (AB)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 (AC)all the people that we saw in it are of great height. 33 And there we saw the (AD)Nephilim (the sons of Anak, who come from the (AE)Nephilim), and we seemed to ourselves (AF)like grasshoppers, and so we seemed to them.”

Nagpadala ng tiktik sa Canaan.
13 At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,
2 (A)Magsugo ka ng mga lalake na makakapaniktik sa lupain ng Canaan, na aking ibibigay sa mga anak ni Israel: isang lalake sa bawa't isa sa mga lipi ng kanilang mga magulang ay susuguin ninyo, na bawa't isa'y prinsipe sa kanila.
3 At sinugo sila ni Moises mula sa (B)ilang ng Paran ayon sa utos ng Panginoon: silang lahat ay mga lalaking pangulo sa mga anak ni Israel.
4 At ito ang kanilang mga pangalan: sa lipi ni Ruben, ay si Sammua na anak ni Zaccur.
5 Sa lipi ni Simeon, ay si Saphat na anak ni Huri.
6 (C)Sa lipi ni Juda, ay si (D)Caleb na anak ni Jephone.
7 Sa lipi ni Issachar, ay si Igal na anak ni Jose.
8 Sa lipi ni Efraim, ay si Oseas na anak ni Nun.
9 Sa lipi ni Benjamin, ay si Palti na anak ni Raphu.
10 Sa lipi ni Zabulon, ay si Gaddiel na anak ni Sodi.
11 Sa lipi ni Jose, sa makatuwid baga'y sa lipi ni Manases, ay si Gaddi na anak ni Susi.
12 Sa lipi ni Dan, ay si Ammiel na anak ni Gemalli.
13 Sa lipi ni Aser, ay si Sethur, na anak ni Michael.
14 Sa lipi ni Nephtali, ay si Nahabi na anak ni Vapsi.
15 Sa lipi ni Gad, ay si Geuel na anak ni Machi.
16 Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga lalake na sinugo ni Moises upang tiktikan ang lupain. At tinawag ni Moises na Josue ang anak ni Nun na si (E)Oseas.
17 At sinugo sila ni Moises upang tiktikan ang lupain ng Canaan, at sinabi sa kanila, Sumampa kayo rito sa dakong Timugan at (F)umakyat kayo sa mga bundok:
18 At tingnan ninyo ang lupain, kung ano; at ang bayan na tumatahan doon, kung sila'y malakas o mahina, kung sila'y kaunti o marami;
19 At kung ano ang lupain na kanilang tinatahanan, kung mabuti o masama; at kung ano ang mga bayan na kanilang tinatahanan, kung sa mga kampamento, o sa mga nakukutaan;
20 At kung ano ang lupain, kung mataba o payat, (G)kung mayroong kahoy o wala. At (H)magpakatapang kayo, at magdala kayo rito ng bunga ng lupain. Ngayon ang panahon ay panahon ng mga unang hinog na ubas.
21 Sila nga'y umakyat, at kanilang tiniktikan ang lupain mula sa (I)ilang ng Zin hanggang sa (J)Rehob, sa pagpasok sa Emath.
22 At sila'y umakyat sa dakong Timugan, at sila'y dumating sa Hebron; at si (K)Aimen, si Sesai at si Talmai, na mga anak ni Anac, ay nangaroon. (Ngayon ang Hebron ay (L)natayong pitong taon bago ang Zoan (M)sa Egipto).
23 (N)At sila'y dumating sa libis ng Escol, at sila'y pumutol doon ng isang sangang may isang kumpol na ubas, at dinala sa isang pingga ng dalawa; sila'y nagdala rin ng mga granada, at mga igos.
24 Ang dakong yaon ay tinawag na libis ng Escol, dahil sa kumpol na kinitil ng mga anak ni Israel doon.
Masamang balita ng mga tiktik.
25 At sila'y nagbalik pagkatiktik sa lupain, sa katapusan ng apat na pung araw.
26 At sila'y nagsiyaon at nagsiparoon kay Moises, at kay Aaron at sa buong kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel, sa ilang ng Paran, (O)sa Cades; at kanilang binigyang sagot sila, at ang buong kapisanan, at kanilang ipinakita sa kanila ang bunga ng lupain.
27 At kanilang isinaysay sa kaniya, at sinabi, Kami ay dumating sa lupaing yaong pinaparoonan mo sa amin, at tunay na binubukalan ng (P)gatas at pulot; at ito ang (Q)bunga niyaon.
28 Gayon man (R)ang bayan na tumitira sa lupaing yaon ay malakas, at ang mga bayan ay nakukutaan, at napakalalaki: at saka aming nakita ang mga anak ni Anac doon.
29 (S)Si Amalec ay tumatahan sa lupain ng Timugan: at ang Hetheo, at ang Jebuseo, at ang Amorrheo ay tumatahan sa mga bundok: at ang Cananeo ay tumatahan sa tabi ng dagat, at sa mga pangpang ng Jordan.
30 At pinatahimik ni (T)Caleb ang bayan sa harapan ni Moises, at sinabi, Ating akyating paminsan, at ating ariin; sapagka't kaya nating lupigin.
31 (U)Nguni't sinabi ng mga lalaking nagsiakyat na kasama niya, Hindi tayo makaaakyat laban sa bayan; sapagka't sila'y malakas kay sa atin.
32 At sila'y nagdala ng masamang balita tungkol sa lupaing kanilang tiniktikan, sa mga anak ni Israel, na sinasabi, Ang lupain na aming pinaroonan upang tiktikan ay isang lupain na kinakain ang mga tumatahan doon; at (V)lahat ng bayan na aming nakita roon, ay mga taong malalaki.
33 (W)At doo'y aming nakita ang mga Nefilim, ang mga anak ni Anac, na mula sa mga Nefilim: at kami sa aming sariling paningin ay naging (X)parang mga balang, at gayon din kami sa kanilang paningin.

Exploring Canaan
13 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Send some men to explore(A) the land of Canaan,(B) which I am giving to the Israelites.(C) From each ancestral tribe(D) send one of its leaders.”
3 So at the Lord’s command Moses sent them out from the Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites.(E) 4 These are their names:
from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zakkur;
5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
6 from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;(F)
7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
8 from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;(G)
9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
11 from the tribe of Manasseh (a tribe of Joseph), Gaddi son of Susi;
12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.
16 These are the names of the men Moses sent to explore(H) the land. (Moses gave Hoshea son of Nun(I) the name Joshua.)(J)
17 When Moses sent them to explore Canaan,(K) he said, “Go up through the Negev(L) and on into the hill country.(M) 18 See what the land is like and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many. 19 What kind of land do they live in? Is it good or bad? What kind of towns do they live in? Are they unwalled or fortified? 20 How is the soil? Is it fertile or poor? Are there trees in it or not? Do your best to bring back some of the fruit of the land.(N)” (It was the season for the first ripe grapes.)(O)
21 So they went up and explored the land from the Desert of Zin(P) as far as Rehob,(Q) toward Lebo Hamath.(R) 22 They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron,(S) where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai,(T) the descendants of Anak,(U) lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)(V) 23 When they reached the Valley of Eshkol,[a](W) they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates(X) and figs.(Y) 24 That place was called the Valley of Eshkol because of the cluster of grapes the Israelites cut off there. 25 At the end of forty days(Z) they returned from exploring the land.(AA)
Report on the Exploration
26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite community at Kadesh(AB) in the Desert of Paran.(AC) There they reported to them(AD) and to the whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land.(AE) 27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey!(AF) Here is its fruit.(AG) 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large.(AH) We even saw descendants of Anak(AI) there.(AJ) 29 The Amalekites(AK) live in the Negev; the Hittites,(AL) Jebusites(AM) and Amorites(AN) live in the hill country;(AO) and the Canaanites(AP) live near the sea and along the Jordan.(AQ)”
30 Then Caleb(AR) silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.”(AS) 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report(AT) about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours(AU) those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size.(AV) 33 We saw the Nephilim(AW) there (the descendants of Anak(AX) come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers(AY) in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
