So Moses sent them, to spy out the land of Canaan, —and said unto them—Go up, here in the South, Yea ye shall go up the mountain;
18 Khohmuen neh a khuikah khosa pilnam te so uh. Aka tlungluen nim, aka kha nim, yol nim, yet nim?
And shall see the land, what it is, —And the people that dwell thereupon, Whether they are, strong, or weak, Whether they are, few or many;
19 A khuiah kho a sak te mebang khohmuen nim? Then nim, thae nim? A khuiah kho a sak khopuei rhoek te rhaehhmuen nen nim, hmuencak nen nim?
And what, the land, is, wherein they dwell, Whether it is, good, or, bad, —And the cities within which they dwell, Whether in camps or in strongholds;
20 Diklai te ul nim, caep nim? A khuiah thing om nim, om pawt nim? Moem uh thae lamtah khohmuen thaihtae te hang khuen uh. A tue khaw misur thaihcuek tue coeng ni,” a ti nah.
And what the land is, Whether, fat, or, lean, Whether there is timber therein or is not, Then shall ye pluck up courage and take of the fruit of the land. Now the days, were the days of the first-fruits of grapes.
21 Te dongah cet uh tih khohmuen te Zin khosoek lamloh Lebo Khamath Rehob duela a yaam uh.
So they went up, and spied out the land, —from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the entering in of Hamath.

Yea they went up in the South and entered as far as Hebron, and there, were Ahiman Sheshai and Talmai descendants of the Anak. Now, Hebron, was built seven years, before Zoan of Egypt.

And they entered as far as the ravine of Eschol, and cut down, from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and bare it on a pole between two, —also of the pomegranates and of the figs.
24 Israel ca rhoek loh te lamkah thaihsu te a haih uh kawng dongah te hmuen te Eshkol soklong a sui.
That place, was called, The Ravine of Eschol ["Cluster-ravine"]—on account of the cluster, which was cut down from thence by the sons of Israel.
25 Khohnin likip a thok vaengah khohmuen aka yaam lamloh mael uh.
And they returned from spying out the land, —at the end of forty days.

So they took their journey, and came in unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel into the wilderness of Paran, towards Kadesh, —and brought back word—unto them and unto all the assembly, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 A taengla a puen uh vaengah, “Kaimih nan tueih nah khohmuen la ka pawk uh, suktui neh khoitui khaw long ngawn tih he he a thaih ni.
And they recounted unto him, and said, We entered into the land whither thou didst send us, and surely it doth flow with milk and honey, and, this, is the fruit thereof.
28 Lungli lungla la, khohmuen kah khosa pilnam khaw tlung tih khopuei vong cak khaw, bahoeng khangmai. Te phoeiah Anakim cahlah rhoek pataeng hnap ka hmuh uh.
Nevertheless surely mighty, are the people that dwell in the land, —and, the cities, walled in, exceeding great, moreover also, the descendants of the Anak, saw we there.

Amalek, dwelleth in the land of the South; And, the Hittite, and the Jebusite and the Amorite, dwell in the mountain And the Canaanite, dwelleth by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
30 Tedae Kaleb loh pilnam te Moses mikhmuh ah a sim tih, “Cet rhoe cet uh sih lamtah te te pang uh sih, te te coeng rhoe coeng ta,” a ti.
And Caleb stilled the people unto Moses, —and said unto them—Let us go straight up, and possess it, for we shall, surely prevail, against it.
31 Te vaengah amah neh aka cet hlang rhoek loh, “Mamih lakah tlungluen coeng tih pilnam te paan ham coeng pawh,” a ti uh.
But the men who went up with him said, We cannot go up against the people, —for stronger, are they than we.
32 Khohmuen a yaam uh te theetnah la a khuen uh tih Israel ca rhoek taengah, “Khohmuen te yaam ham te longah ka paan uh, khohmuen tah amah khosa rhoek loh a yoop tih a khui kah pilnam te cungkui hlang la boeih ka hmuh uh.
So they sent forth a rumour of the land which they had spied out, among the sons of Israel, saying, —As touching the land through which we passed to spy it out, it is, land that eateth up them who dwell therein, And all the people that we saw in the midst thereof, were men of great stature.
33 Teah te Anakim koca Nephilim te ka hmuh uh. Nephilim lamkah phoeiah tah kaimih mik ah tangku bangla ka om uh coeng tih amih mik ah khaw ka om van,” a ti uh.
And, there, saw we the giants, sons of Anak [descended] of the giants, —And we were in our own eyes, as grass-hoppers, And, so, were we in their eyes.
