17 Kane Musa oorogi mondo gidhi ginon piny Kanaan, nowachonegi niya, “Luwuru Negev kendo udhi nyaka piny manie got.
And Moses sends them to spy out the land of Canaan and says to them, “Go up this [way] into the south, and you have gone up the mountain,
18 Nonuru ane pinyno kaka chalo, mondo ungʼego ni joma odak kanyo gin thuondi koso ngoche, gingʼeny koso ginok?
and have seen the land, what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble, [and] whether it [is] 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] in which it is dwelling, whether it [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses.
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 is wood in it or not; and you have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land”; now the days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes.
21 Omiyo ne giwuok kendo neginono pinyno kochakore Thim mar Zin nyaka Rehob, kagichomo Lebo Hamath.
And they go up and spy out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob at the going in 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 go up by the south, and come to Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and 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 come to the Brook of Eshcol, and cut down a branch and one cluster of grapes there, and they carry it on a staff by two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 Kanyo niluongo ni Holo mar Eshkol nikech negingʼado bad olemb mzabibu mochiek.
That place has been called the Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
25 Bangʼ ndalo piero angʼwen negidwogo ka gia nono pinyno.
And they return from spying out the land at the end of 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 go and come to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the congregation back word, and show 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 recount to him, and say, “We came to the land to where you have sent us, and it is indeed flowing with milk and honey—and this [is] its fruit;
28 Joma odak kuno nigi teko mangʼeny, kendo gidakie mier madongo mochiel motegno kendo malich. Bende ne waneno nyikwa Anak kuno.
only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fortified [and] very great; and we have also seen 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 is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite are dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling 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 stills the people concerning Moses and says, “Let us certainly go up—and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able to [do] it.”
31 To joma nodhi kode kuno nowacho niya, “Ok wanyal monjo jogo; gitek moloyowa.”
And the men who have gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] 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 bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we passed over to spy it out is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of 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, sons of Anak, of the giants; and we are as grasshoppers in our own eyes—and so we were in their eyes.”
