KJV King James Version (with Apocrypha)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
1 Y DESPUÉS movió el pueblo de Haseroth, y asentaron el campo en el desierto de Parán.
2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
2 Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:
3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men [ were] heads of the children of Israel.
3 Envía tú hombres que reconozcan la tierra de Canaán, la cual yo doy á los hijos de Israel: de cada tribu de sus padres enviaréis un varón, cada uno príncipe entre ellos.
4 And these [were] their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
4 Y Moisés los envió desde el desierto de Parán, conforme á la palabra de Jehová: y todos aquellos varones eran príncipes de los hijos de Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
5 Los nombres de los cuales son éstos: De la tribu de Rubén, Sammua hijo de Zaccur.
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
6 De la tribu de Simeón, Saphat hijo de Hurí.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
7 De la tribu de Judá, Caleb hijo de Jephone.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
8 De la tribu de Issachâr, Igal hijo de Joseph.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
9 De la tribu de Ephraim, Oseas hijo de Nun.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
10 De la tribu de Benjamín, Palti hijo de Raphu.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
11 De la tribu de Zabulón, Gaddiel hijo de Sodi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
12 De la tribu de José, de la tribu de Manasés, Gaddi hijo de Susi.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
13 De la tribu de Dan, Ammiel hijo de Gemalli.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
14 De la tribu de Aser, Sethur hijo de Michâel.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
15 De la tribu de Nephtalí, Nahabí hijo de Vapsi.
16 These [are] the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
16 De la tribu de Gad, Geuel hijo de Machî.
17 ¶ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this [way] southward, and go up into the mountain:
17 Estos son los nombres de los varones que Moisés envió á reconocer la tierra: y á Oseas hijo de Nun, le puso Moisés el nombre de Josué.
18 And see the land, what it [is;] and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they [be] strong or weak, few or many;
18 Enviólos, pues, Moisés á reconocer la tierra de Canaán, diciéndoles: Subid por aquí, por el mediodía, y subid al monte:
19 And what the land [is] that they dwell in, whether it [be] good or bad; and what cities [they be] that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
19 Y observad la tierra qué tal es; y el pueblo que la habita, si es fuerte ó débil, si poco ó numeroso;
20 And what the land [is], whether it [be] fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time of the firstripe grapes.
20 Qué tal la tierra habitada, si es buena ó mala; y qué tales son las ciudades habitadas, si de tiendas ó de fortalezas;
21 ¶ So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
21 Y cuál sea el terreno, si es pingüe ó flaco, si en él hay ó no árboles: y esforzaos, y coged del fruto del país. Y el tiempo era el tiempo de las primeras uvas.
22 And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
22 Y ellos subieron, y reconocieron la tierra desde el desierto de Zin hasta Rehob, entrando en Emath.
23 And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
23 Y subieron por el mediodía, y vinieron hasta Hebrón: y allí estaban Aimán, y Sesai, y Talmai, hijos de Anac. Hebrón fué edificada siete años antes de Zoán, la de Egipto.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
24 Y llegaron hasta el arroyo de Escol, y de allí cortaron un sarmiento con un racimo de uvas, el cual trajeron dos en un palo, y de las granadas y de los higos.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
25 Y llamóse aquel lugar Nahal-escol, por el racimo que cortaron de allí los hijos de Israel.
26 ¶ And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
26 Y volvieron de reconocer la tierra al cabo de cuarenta días.
27 And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.
27 Y anduvieron y vinieron á Moisés y á Aarón, y á toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, en el desierto de Parán, en Cades, y diéronles la respuesta, y á toda la congregación, y les mostraron el fruto de la tierra.
28 Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
28 Y le contaron, y dijeron: Nosotros llegamos á la tierra á la cual nos enviaste, la que ciertamente fluye leche y miel; y este es el fruto de ella.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
29 Mas el pueblo que habita aquella tierra es fuerte, y las ciudades muy grandes y fuertes; y también vimos allí los hijos de Anac.
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
30 Amalec habita la tierra del mediodía; y el Hetheo, y el Jebuseo, y el Amorrheo, habitan en el monte; y el Cananeo habita junto á la mar, y á la ribera del Jordán.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.
31 Entonces Caleb hizo callar el pueblo delante de Moisés, y dijo: Subamos luego, y poseámosla; que más podremos que ella.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature.
32 Mas los varones que subieron con él, dijeron: No podremos subir contra aquel pueblo; porque es más fuerte que nosotros.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
33 Y vituperaron entre los hijos de Israel la tierra que habían reconocido, diciendo: La tierra por donde pasamos para reconocerla, es tierra que traga á sus moradores; y todo el pueblo que vimos en medio de ella, son hombres de grande estatura. También vimos allí gigantes, hijos de Anac, [raza] de los gigantes: y éramos nosotros, á nuestro parecer, como langostas; y así les parecíamos á ellos.
