RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
1 Y DESPUÉS movió el pueblo de Haseroth, y asentaron el campo en el desierto de Parán.
2 “Send men for yourself, and they spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man—you send one man for the tribe of his fathers, everyone a prince among them.”
2 Y Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo:
3 And Moses sends them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of YHWH; all of them [are] men, [and] they are heads of the sons 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 [are] their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua 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 for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
5 Los nombres de los cuales son éstos: De la tribu de Rubén, Sammua hijo de Zaccur.
6 for the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
6 De la tribu de Simeón, Saphat hijo de Hurí.
7 for the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
7 De la tribu de Judá, Caleb hijo de Jephone.
8 for the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea son of Nun;
8 De la tribu de Issachâr, Igal hijo de Joseph.
9 for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
9 De la tribu de Ephraim, Oseas hijo de Nun.
10 for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
10 De la tribu de Benjamín, Palti hijo de Raphu.
11 for the tribe of Joseph (for the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
11 De la tribu de Zabulón, Gaddiel hijo de Sodi.
12 for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
12 De la tribu de José, de la tribu de Manasés, Gaddi hijo de Susi.
13 for the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
13 De la tribu de Dan, Ammiel hijo de Gemalli.
14 for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vopshi;
14 De la tribu de Aser, Sethur hijo de Michâel.
15 for the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
15 De la tribu de Nephtalí, Nahabí hijo de Vapsi.
16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses has sent to spy out the land; and Moses calls Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
16 De la tribu de Gad, Geuel hijo de Machî.
17 And Moses sends them to spy out the land of Canaan and says to them, “Go up this [way] into the south, and you have gone up 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 have seen the land, what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble, [and] whether it [is] 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] in which it is dwelling, whether it [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses.
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 [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and you have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land”; now the days [are] days of the first-fruits of 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 And they go up and spy out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob at the going in 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 go up by the south, and come to Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and 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 come to the Brook of Eshcol, and cut down a branch and one cluster of grapes there, and they carry it on a staff by two, also [some] 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 That place has been called the Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
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 return from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
25 Y llamóse aquel lugar Nahal-escol, por el racimo que cortaron de allí los hijos de Israel.
26 And they go and come to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the congregation back word, and show them the fruit of the land.
26 Y volvieron de reconocer la tierra al cabo de cuarenta días.
27 And they recount to him, and say, “We came to the land to where you have sent us, and it is indeed flowing with milk and honey—and this [is] its fruit;
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 only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fortified [and] very great; and we have also seen 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 Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite are dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by the side of the 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 stills the people concerning Moses and says, “Let us certainly go up—and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able to [do] 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 And the men who have gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] 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 bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we passed over to spy it out is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of 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, sons of Anak, of the giants; and we are as grasshoppers in our own eyes—and so we were in their eyes.”
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.
