See the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
19 A khuiahkhoa sak te mebang khohmuen nim? Then nim, thae nim? A khuiahkhoa sak khopueirhoek te rhaehhmuen nen nim, hmuencak nen nim?
and what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, 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 it is fertile or poor, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.

They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and 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 valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.

They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 Teah te Anakim koca Nephilim te ka hmuh uh. Nephilim lamkah phoeiah tah kaimih mik ah tangku bangla kai om uh coeng tih amih mik ah khaw ka om van,” a ti uh.
There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim. We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
