And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Or jomoko odhi onon piny Kanaan, ma onego ami jo-Israel. Koa e dhoot ka dhoot manie oganda inior achiel kuom jotendgi.”
Send thou men, that they may search out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Ye shall send a man of every tribe of his fathers, each a prince among them.

16 Magi e nying chwo mane Musa ooro mondo onon piny Kanaan. (Musa nomiyo Hoshea wuod Nun nying ni Joshua.)
These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to search out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Jehoshua.
17 Kane Musa oorogi mondo gidhi ginon piny Kanaan, nowachonegi niya, “Luwuru Negev kendo udhi nyaka piny manie got.
And Moses sent them to search out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way by the south and go up into the hill-country,
18 Nonuru ane pinyno kaka chalo, mondo ungʼego ni joma odak kanyo gin thuondi koso ngoche, gingʼeny koso ginok?
and ye shall see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;
19 Nonuru ane kaka piny ma gidakieno chalo, ka ober kata orach? Nonuru ane mier ma gidakie nichalo nade, ochielgi koso ok ochielgi?
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 Lopno, to chalo nade? En lowo mamiyo koso motwo? Bende en gi yiende koso oongego? Temuru beru mondo ukel olembe moko mag pinyno.” (Ndalono ne en kinde keyo mokwongo mar mzabibu.)
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there are trees in it, or not. And take courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first grapes.
21 Omiyo ne giwuok kendo neginono pinyno kochakore Thim mar Zin nyaka Rehob, kagichomo Lebo Hamath.
And they went up, and searched out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, where one comes towards Hamath.
22 Ne giwuotho mi gikadho piny Negev nyaka gichopo Hebron, kama Ahiman, Sheshai kod Talmai, ma nyikwa Anak nodakie. (Hebron noger higni abiriyo motelone Zoan manie piny Misri.)
And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
23 Kane gichopo e Holo mar Eshkol, ne gitongʼo bad yath achiel motingʼo pumbi mar olemb mzabibu. Ji ariyo kuomgi notingʼe e luth kaachiel gi gik mongʼinore kod ngʼowu.
And they came as far as the valley of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch with one bunch of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a pole; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 Kanyo niluongo ni Holo mar Eshkol nikech negingʼado bad olemb mzabibu mochiek.
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the grapes which the children of Israel had cut down there.
25 Bangʼ ndalo piero angʼwen negidwogo ka gia nono pinyno.
And they returned from searching out the land after forty days.
26 Negidwogo ir Musa gi Harun kod oganda jo-Israel duto e dala Kadesh manie Thim Paran. Kanyo ema ne gimiyogi dwoko kaachiel gi chokruok duto kendo neginyisogi olemo machiek e pinyno.
And they came, and went to Moses and to Aaron, and to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to the whole assembly; and shewed them the fruit of the land.
27 Negimiyo Musa nonro machalo kama: “Ne wadhi e piny mane iorowae, kendo en piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich! Olemo moa kuno eri.
And they told him, and said, We came to the land to which thou didst send us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
28 Joma odak kuno nigi teko mangʼeny, kendo gidakie mier madongo mochiel motegno kendo malich. Bende ne waneno nyikwa Anak kuno.
Only, the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, very great; moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
29 Jo-Amalek odak Negev; jo-Hiti, jo-Jebus kod jo-Amor odak e piny manie got; to jo-Kanaan odak machiegni gi dho nam e alwora mar Jordan.”
Amalek dwells in the land of the south; and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the hill-country; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
30 Eka Kaleb nokwero ji mondo olingʼ e nyim Musa kendo nowacho niya, “Wadhiuru kendo wakaw pinyno, nimar wanyalo kawe.”
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up boldly and possess it, for we are well able to do it.
31 To joma nodhi kode kuno nowacho niya, “Ok wanyal monjo jogo; gitek moloyowa.”
But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
32 Omiyo ne gilandone jo-Israel dwoko marachni kuom piny mane gidhi nono. Negiwacho niya, “Piny mane wadhi nono nego joma odak eigi. Ji mane waneno kuno gin joma robede.
And they brought to the children of Israel an evil report of the land which they had searched out, saying, The land, which we have passed through to search it out, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we have seen in it are men of great stature;
33 Ne waneno Nefilim kuno (nyikwa Anak aa kuom jo-Nefilim). Ne wanenore mana ka ongogo, to bende mano e kaka ne wachalo e nyimgi.”
and there have we seen giants — the sons of Anak are of the giants — and we were in our sight as grasshoppers, and so we were also in their sight.
