¹ Ja Issand rääkis Moosesega, öeldes:

² 'Läkita mehi uurima Kaananimaad, mille ma annan Iisraeli lastele; igast nende vanemate suguharust läkitage üks mees, igaüks neist olgu vürst!'

³ Siis läkitas Mooses Issanda käsul nad Paarani kõrbest; kõik need mehed olid Iisraeli laste peamehed.

⁴ Ja need on nende nimed: Ruubeni suguharust Sammua, Sakkuri poeg;

⁵ Siimeoni suguharust Saafat, Hoori poeg;

⁶ Juuda suguharust Kaaleb, Jefunne poeg;

⁷ Issaskari suguharust Jigal, Joosepi poeg;

⁸ Efraimi suguharust Hoosea, Nuuni poeg;

⁹ Benjamini suguharust Palti, Raafu poeg;

¹⁰ Sebuloni suguharust Gaddiel, Soodi poeg;

¹¹ Joosepi suguharust, nimelt Manasse suguharust, Gaddi, Suusi poeg;

¹² Daani suguharust Ammiel, Gemalli poeg;

¹³ Aaseri suguharust Setuur, Miikaeli poeg;

¹⁴ Naftali suguharust Nahbi, Vofsi poeg;

¹⁵ Gaadi suguharust Geuel, Maaki poeg.

¹⁶ Need olid nende meeste nimed, keda Mooses läkitas maad kuulama. Ja Mooses nimetas Hoosea, Nuuni poja, Joosuaks.

¹⁷ Ja läkitades neid Kaananimaad uurima, ütles Mooses neile: 'Minge sinna Lõunamaale ja minge üles mäestikku,

¹⁸ vaadake maad, missugune see on, ja rahvast, kes seal elab: on ta vägev või väeti, on teda pisut või palju?

¹⁹ Kas maa, kus ta elab, on hea või halb? Missugused on linnad, kus ta elab: kas leerid või kindlused?

²⁰ Ja missugune on maa: kas rammus või lahja, kas seal on puid või ei ole? Olge vaprad ja võtke kaasa maa vilju!' Oli parajasti esimeste viinamarjade aeg.

²¹ Ja nad läksid ning uurisid maad Siini kõrbest kuni Rehobini, Hamati teelahkmeni.

²² Ja nad läksid lõuna poole ning tulid kuni Hebronini; seal olid Ahiman, Seesai ja Talmai, Anaki järeltulijad. Hebron oli ehitatud seitse aastat enne Egiptuse Soani.

²³ Siis nad tulid Kobaraorgu ja lõikasid sealt viinapuuväädi üheainsa kobaraga ning kandsid seda kahe mehega põikpuus; nad võtsid ka granaatõunu ja viigimarju.

²⁴ See paik nimetati Kobaraoruks viinamarjakobara pärast, mille Iisraeli lapsed sealt lõikasid.

²⁵ Ja neljakümne päeva pärast tulid nad tagasi maad kuulamast.

²⁶ Nad tulid ning läksid Moosese ja Aaroni ja kogu Iisraeli laste koguduse juurde Paarani kõrbe Kaadesisse ning tõid sõnumeid neile ja kogu kogudusele ja näitasid neile maa vilju.

²⁷ Ja nad jutustasid temale ning ütlesid: 'Me jõudsime sellele maale, kuhu sa meid läkitasid. See voolab tõesti piima ja mett, ja siin on selle viljad.

²⁸ Kuid rahvas, kes elab maal, on tugev, ja linnad on kindlustatud ja väga suured. Me nägime seal ka Anaki järeltulijaid.

²⁹ Lõunamaal elavad amalekid, mäestikus elavad hetid, jebuuslased ja emorlased, mererannas ja Jordani ääres elavad kaananlased.'

³⁰ Siis Kaaleb vaigistas rahvast Moosese ees ja ütles: 'Mingem siiski sinna ja vallutagem see, sest me suudame selle alistada!'

³¹ Aga mehed, kes olid käinud koos temaga, ütlesid: 'Me ei või minna selle rahva vastu, sest ta on meist vägevam.'

³² Ja nad levitasid Iisraeli laste ees laimu maa kohta, mida nad olid uurinud, öeldes: 'maa, mille me uurides läbi käisime, on maa, mis neelab oma elanikud, ja kogu see rahvas, keda me seal nägime, on pikakasvulised inimesed.

³³ Me nägime seal hiiglasi, Anaki poegi hiiglaste soost: me olime iseendi silmis nagu rohutirtsud ja samasugused olime meie ka nende silmis.'

¹ The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.

² He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.

³ Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

⁴ They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don't have God's seal on their foreheads.

⁵ They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.

⁶ In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

⁷ The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people's faces.

⁸ They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

⁹ They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.

¹⁰ They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.

¹¹ They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," but in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon."

¹² The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.

¹³ The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,

¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!"

¹⁵ The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.

¹⁶ The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

¹⁷ Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

¹⁸ By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

¹⁹ For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.

²⁰ The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn't repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn't worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

²¹ They didn't repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
