Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
2 “Namah kah hlang rhoek te tueih lamtah Kanaan kho te yaam uh saeh. Te te Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek coeng. A napa rhoek koca lamloh hlang pakhat, hlang pakhat tah amamih kah lamkah khoboei la boeih tueih,” a ti nah.
“Send some men to examine the land of Canaan, which I have given to the people of Israel. Send a man from every tribe of their ancestors. Each man must be a leader among them.”
3 Te dongah BOEIPA kah olka bangla Moses loh amih te Paran khosoek lamloh a tueih. Amih tah Israel ca rhoek kah a lu hlang boeih ni.

These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to examine the land. Moses called Hoshea son of Nun by the name of Joshua.
17 Moses loh amih te Kanaan khohmuen yaam ham a tueih. Te vaengah amih te tuithim lamloh pahoi cet uh lamtah tlang la yoeng uh.
Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan. He said to them, “Approach from the Negev and go up into the hill country.
18 Khohmuen neh a khuikah khosa pilnam te so uh. Aka tlungluen nim, aka kha nim, yol nim, yet nim?
Examine the land to see what it is like. Observe the people who live there, whether they are strong or weak, and 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?
See what the land is like where they live. Is it good or bad? What cities are there? Are they like camps, or are they fortified cities?
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.
See what the land is like, whether it is good for growing crops or not, and whether there are trees there or not. Be brave and bring back samples of the land's produce.” Now the time was the season for the first ripe grapes.
21 Te dongah cet uh tih khohmuen te Zin khosoek lamloh Lebokhamath Rehob duela a yaam uh.
So the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo Hamath.
22 Te dongah tuithim longah cet uh tih Hebron la pawk uh. Te vaengah Anakim cahlah Sheshai Ahiman neh Talmai ana om coeng. Hebron he Egypt Zoan mikhmuh ah kum rhih khuiah a thoh.
They went up from the Negev and arrived at Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, clans descended from Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
23 Eshkol soklong la a pawk uh vaengah thingluei te a saih uh tih misur a su pakhat te panit loh cunghloeng dongah a koh. Te vaengah tale thaih neh thaibu thaih te a khuenuh.
When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut down a branch with a cluster of grapes. They carried it on a staff between two of their group. They also brought 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 named the Valley of Eshkol, because of the grape cluster that the people of Israel cut down there.
25 Khohnin likip a thok vaengah khohmuen aka yaam lamloh mael uh.
After forty days, they returned from examining the land.
26 Cet tih Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah khaw, Kadesh Paran khosoek kah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih taengla pawk. Amih taengah olka a khuen uh tih rhaengpuei boeih taengah khohmuen thingthaih te a tueng uh.
They came back to Moses, Aaron, and all the community of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the community, and showed them the produce from 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.
They told Moses, “We reached the land to which you sent us. It certainly flows with milk and honey. Here is some produce from it.
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.
However, the people who make their homes there are strong. The cities are fortified and very large. We also saw descendants of Anak there.
29 Amalek loh tuithim khohmuen ah kho a sak, Khitti neh Jebusi neh Amori loh tlang ah kho a sak, Kanaan loh tuipuei taeng neh Jordan tuikaeng ah kho a sak,” a ti uh.
The Amalekites live in the Negev. The Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites have their homes in the hill country. The Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan River.”
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.
Then Caleb silenced the people who were before Moses and said, “Let us go up and take possession of the land, for we are certainly able to conquer it.”
31 Te vaengah amah neh aka cet hlang rhoek loh, “Mamihs lakah tlungluen coeng tih pilnam te paan ham coeng pawh,” a ti uh.
But the other men who had gone with him said, “We are not able to attack the people because they are stronger than we are.”
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 spread around a discouraging report to the people of Israel about the land that they had examined. They said, “The land that we looked at is a land that eats up its inhabitants. All the people whom we saw there are people of great height.
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 giants, descendants of Anak, people who came from giants. In our own sight we were like grasshoppers in comparison with them, and this is what we were in their sight, too.”
