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 which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea 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 spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this [way] southward, and go up into the mountain:
18 Nonuru ane pinyno kaka chalo, mondo ungʼego ni joma odak kanyo gin thuondi koso ngoche, gingʼeny koso ginok?
And see the land, what it [is; ] and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they [be] 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 [be] good or bad; and what cities [they be] that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
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 [be] fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time of the firstripe grapes.
21 Omiyo ne giwuok kendo neginono pinyno kochakore Thim mar Zin nyaka Rehob, kagichomo Lebo Hamath.
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to 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 ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was 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 unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 Kanyo niluongo ni Holo mar Eshkol nikech negingʼado bad olemb mzabibu mochiek.
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 Bangʼ ndalo piero angʼwen negidwogo ka gia nono pinyno.
And they returned from searching of 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 went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, 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 unto the land whither thou sentest 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.
Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and 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.”
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of 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 at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome 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 be 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 up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it [are] men of a 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 we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
