Números 13

SAGRADA BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 O Senhor disse a Moisés:	1 And the people set out from Hazeroth, and they pitched their tents in the desert of Paran.
2 "Envia homens para explorar a terra de Canaã, que eu hei de dar aos filhos de Israel. Enviarás um homem de cada tribo patriarcal, tomados todos entre os príncipes."	2 And there, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
3 Enviou-os Moisés do deserto de Farã segundo as ordens do Senhor; todos esses homens eram príncipes em Israel.	3 “Send men, who may examine the land of Canaan, which I will give to the sons of Israel, one from the rulers of each tribe.”
4 Eis os seus nomes: da tribo de Rubem, Samua, filho de Zecur;	4 Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending, from the desert of Paran, leading men, whose names are these:
5 da tribo de Simeão, Safat, filho de Huri;	5 from the tribe of Ruben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;
6 da tribo de Judá, Caleb, filho de Jefoné;	6 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;
7 da tribo de Issacar, Igal, filho de José;	7 from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh;
8 da tribo de Efraim, Oséias, filho de Nun;	8 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;
9 da tribo de Benjamim, Falti, filho de Rafu;	9 from the tribe of Ephraim, Hosea the son of Nun;
10 da tribo de Zabulon, Gediel, filho de Sodi;	10 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu;
11 da tribo de José, na tribo de Manassés, Gadi, filho de Susi;	11 from the tribe of Zebulon, Gaddiel the son of Sodi;
12 da tribo de Dã, Amiel, filho de Gemali;	12 from the tribe of Joseph, of the scepter of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;
13 da tribo de Aser, Stur, filho de Miguel;	13 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli;
14 da tribo de Neftali, Naabi, filho de Vapsi;	14 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael;
15 da tribo de Gad, Guel, filho de Maqui.	15 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi;
16 Estes são os nomes dos homens que Moisés enviou como exploradores a Canaã. Moisés deu a Oséias, filho de Nun, o nome de Josué.	16 from the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.
17 Enviando-os a explorar a terra de Canaã, Moisés disse-lhes: "Ide pelo Negeb e subi a montanha.	17 These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to examine the land. And he called Hosea, the son of Nun, Joshua.
18 Examinai que terra é essa, e o povo que a habita, se é forte ou fraco, pequeno ou numeroso.	18 And so, Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan, and he said to them: “Ascend by the south side. And when you arrive at the mountains,
19 Vede como é a terra onde habita, se é boa ou má, e como são as suas cidades, se muradas ou sem muros;	19 consider the land, as to what kind it may be, and the people, who are its inhabitants, whether they may be strong or weak, whether they may be few in number or many,
20 examinai igualmente se o terreno é fértil ou estéril, e se há árvores ou não. Coragem! E trazei-nos dos frutos da terra." Era então a época das primeiras uvas.	20 and the land itself, whether it is good or bad, what kind of cities, walled or without walls,
21 Partiram, pois, e exploraram a terra desde o deserto de Sin até Roob, no caminho de Emat.	21 the soil, rich or barren, forested or without trees. Be strong, and bring us some of the fruits of the land.” Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes were ready to be eaten.
22 Subiram ao Negeb e foram a Hebron, onde se encontravam Aquimã, Sisai e Tolmai, filhos de Enac. Hebron fora construída sete anos antes de Tânis, no Egito.	22 And when they had ascended, they explored the land from the desert of Sin, all the way to Rehob, as one enters into Hamath.
23 Chegaram ao vale de Escol, onde cortaram um ramo de vide com um cacho de uvas, que dois homens levaram numa vara; tomaram também consigo romãs e figos.	23 And they ascended by the south side. And they arrived at Hebron, where there were Ahiman and Shishai and Talmai, the sons of Anak. For Hebron was founded seven years before Tanis, the city of Egypt.
24 Chamou-se a esse lugar vale de Escol, por causa do cacho que nele haviam cortado os israelitas.	24 And continuing on as far as the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, they cut off a vine with its grapes, which two men carried on a board. Likewise, they took from the pomegranates and the figs of that place,
25 Tendo voltado os exploradores, passados quarenta dias,	25 which was called Nehel Eshcol, that is, the Torrent of the Cluster of Grapes, because the sons of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes from there.
26 foram ter com Moisés e Aarão e toda a assembléia dos israelitas em Cades, no deserto de Farã. Diante deles e de toda a multidão relataram a sua expedição e mostraram os frutos da terra.	26 And those exploring the land returned after forty days, having circulated through the entire region.
27 Eis como narraram a Moisés a sua exploração: "Fomos à terra aonde nos enviaste. É verdadeiramente uma terra onde corre leite e mel, como se pode ver por esses frutos.	27 And they went to Moses and Aaron, and to the entire assembly of the sons of Israel in the desert of Paran, which is in Kadesh. And speaking to them, and to the entire multitude, they showed them the fruits of the land.
28 Mas os habitantes dessa terra são robustos, suas cidades grandes e bem muradas; vimos ali até mesmo filhos de Enac.	28 And they explained, saying: “We went into the land, to which you sent us, which, it is true, flows with milk and honey, as one can know by these fruits.
29 Os amalecitas habitam na terra do Negeb; os hiteus, os jebuseus e os amorreus habitam nas montanhas, e os cananeus habitam junto ao mar e ao longo do Jordão."	29 But it has very strong occupants, and the cities are great and also walled. We saw the race of Anak there.
30 Caleb fez calar o povo que começava a murmurar contra Moisés, e disse: "Vamos e apoderemo-nos da terra, porque podemos conquistá-la."	30 Amalek lives in the south. The Hethite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite live in the mountains. And truly, the Canaanite stays near the sea and around the streams of the Jordan.”
31 Mas os outros, que tinham ido com ele, diziam: "Não somos capazes de atacar esse povo; é mais forte do que nós."	31 During these events, Caleb, to restrain the murmuring of the people who rose up against Moses, said, “Let us ascend and possess the land, for we will be able to obtain it.”
32 E diante dos filhos de Israel depreciaram a terra que tinham explorado: "A terra, disseram eles, que exploramos, devora os seus habitantes: os homens que vimos ali são de uma grande estatura;	32 Yet truly, the others, who had been with him, were saying, “By no means are we able to ascend to this people, because they are stronger than we are.”
33 vimos até mesmo gigantes, filhos de Enac, da raça dos gigantes; parecíamos gafanhotos comparados com eles."	33 And before the sons of Israel they disparaged the land, which they had inspected, saying: “The land, which we viewed, devours its inhabitants. The people, upon whom we gazed, were of lofty stature.
	34 There, we saw some monsters among the sons of Anak, of the race of giants; by comparison with them, we seemed like locusts.”
