2 Canaan gam gakhol toh ding Pasal ho jouse chuga hetchen sahtan, gam chu keiman Israelte kapeh ding ahitai Pasal khat cheh phung dungjuiya lamkai hinah jallin acheding in ngense cheh un.
Send men to get knowledge about the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from every tribe of their fathers you are to send a man, every one a chief among them.
3 Hichun Mose’n Pathen in anganse na dungjuiyin abol in, gamthip lah’a pat chun Mose’n Pasal somleni Israel phungsom le ni ho lamkai ho chu ngahmun apat’nin asol doh in ahi.
And Moses sent them from the waste land of Paran as the Lord gave orders, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.
17 Mose’n hiche Pasal a soldoh ho chu hiche thugah na ho chu aneiyun gam leiset kholchil ding nga nganse na anei dung juiyin nangho cheuvin sahlam mah negar hopat un thinglhang lam naho diu ahi, ati.
So Moses sent them to have a look at the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up into the South and into the hill-country;
18 Cheuvin lang gam umdan ijakai kholchilna ganei jun lang mihem um dol jong hinve chil unlang, hiche muna cheng ding chu mi ijat adol ding ham tijong hinkhol un, ati.
And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;
19 Amaho chenna gamho chu apha ham, aseham akhosah dan u ijakai hinkhol un chule khopi umdan jong hinve chil un.
And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;
20 Leiset chu thao putna ham ahilouleh gamgo apha lou ham? Hilai kom dunga chu thing phung tamtah umham? Thei phung thing phung aga hoi pen tah vetchil dia na hinpoh diu ahi.
And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.
21 Hichun achie tou un Zin gamthip apat akhol chil un Rebob kiti gei chu Leboh Hamath kom dung gei chu abonchan gakholsoh keiyun.
So they went up and got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.
22 Sahlam ahoh paovin gamthip kiti mun chu ajot paovin chuin Hebron alhung tauve. Hikom mun chu Amal chilhah te ahin Sheshal chule Tamal ho chun ana um uve. Hebron khopi chu Egypt khopi Zoan kiti sanga kum-sagi masanga kisem masa ahi.
They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Amahon Eschort phaicham ahin phah uchun lengpi thei boh khat ahin sat lhauvin amani kikah ah ahin polut un chuleh kolbu thei jong Olive phung jong jaonan ahinpo lhonne.
And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.
24 Hiche lai mun chu Eschort phaicham aki tin ahi. Ajeh chu Israel mihon hikomma chu lengpi thei avat u ahi.
That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.
25 Ni somli jen gam le go kholchih na anei jou phat un Pasal ho chu ahung kinung le gam tauve.
At the end of forty days they came back from viewing the land.
26 Tun amaho ahung ki nung le taovin Mose le Aaron kom ahin chule Israel mipi jouse jong chu Paran gamthip ma chun aum un ahi.
And they came back to Moses and Aaron and all the children of Israel, to Kadesh in the waste land of Paran; and gave an account to them and to all the people and let them see the produce of the land.
27 Hichun amahon Mose jah hiti hin asei un, keiho nei nganse nauva kaga che un gam leiset vedin, hiche gam hi khoiju le bongnoi lonna chule hichengse hi gamsunga gasoh ho ahi.
And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.
28 Ahinlah hilai gamma umho chu thil bolthei na hangsan tah ahiuvin, khopi ho jong chu hoitah in aveng tup un amel’u jong alen theiyin hikomma chun Anak mite a khosa uvin ahi.
But the people living in the land are strong, and the towns are walled and very great; further, we saw the children of Anak there.
29 Amalek mite vang noilam alouvin, hit mite ahin Amor mite ho jouse thinglhang lam aloh soh un, chuleh Cannan mite vang'in Jordan phai vadung lang tui khanglen kom lang aloh soh hellun ahi.
And the Amalekites are in the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill-country; and the Canaanites by the sea and by the side of Jordan.
30 Ahinlah Caleb in mipi ho chu aphoh thip in Mose heng lam adin ahung taovin, Caleb in hitin aseiyin, eiho che’u hitin hiche gam chu lahlut ding ngaito tauhite, ajeh chu hiche mite hi ijo teidiu ahi.
Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 Amavang Caleb toh gam kholle a che ho lah mi phabep loi chu anom pouvin, Anak mite ho chu eiho sanga hat jo ahiuvin, eiho Amaho chu ima ilo theilou diu ahi tin asei uve.
But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
32 Hichun Amaho lah’a mi phabep loi chun hiche thupha lou hi Israel mite lah’a ahin sei phong uvin ahi. Gam leiset keiman ka khol chil jou pon nang ho gam neite ahat theiyun Amahon hetman louva eisuhgam jeng theiyu ahi, ati.
And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.
33 Keihon Anak mite chu kamu uvin amaho toh teding in eiho hi khongbai tabang bep ihiuvin Anak mite jeng in jong hitia chu eigellu ahiye.
There we saw those great men, the sons of Anak, offspring of the Nephilim: and we seemed to ourselves no more than insects, and so we seemed to them.
