Numbers 13
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
2 “Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them.”
Isarelnaw koe ka poe e Kanaan ram tuet sak hanlah, tami patoun leih. Miphun tangkuem kahrawikungnaw thung hoi tami buet touh rip na tha han atipouh.
3 Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD. All of them were men who were heads of the children of Israel.
Hatdawkvah, Mosi ni Paran kahrawngum hoi BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah a patoun. Abuemlahoi Isarel catoun kahrawikungnaw doeh.

16 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
Hetnaw heh ram tuet sak hanelah Mosi ni a patoun e naw doeh. Nun capa Hosi teh Mosi ni Joshua telah a kaw.
17 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country.
Hot patetlah Mosi ni Kanaan ram tuet hanelah ahnimouh teh a patoun. Ahnimouh koe akalae lam dawk hoi hmaloe cet awh nateh, mon dawk luen awh.
18 See the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
Ram teh bangtelah vaimoe. Haw e kho ka sak e taminaw hah a thasai awh maw, a thayoun awh maw, tami a pap maw ayoun maw tie hoi,
19 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;
a onae ram teh kahawi na ou, a onae kho teh bangpatet lae na vaimoe. Rim na ou, rapanim kaawm na ou.
20 and what the land is, whether it is fertile or poor, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
Ram teh ka tawnta na ou, ka takang awh na ou, ratu na ou. Tarankahawilah awm awh nateh, ram dawk e a paw phawt awh telah atipouh. Hote tueng teh misur paw a hminnae tueng hoi a kâvoe.
21 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
Hottelah a kamthaw awh teh, a takhang awh. Ram teh Zin kahrawngum hoi Hamath kâennae Rehob totouh, Kanaan ram koung a tuet awh.
22 They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
Akalah hoi hmaloe a takhang awh teh Hebron vah a pha awh. Hawvah Anakim catounnaw, Ahiman Sheshai hoi Talmai taminaw ao awh. ( Hebron teh Izip ram hoi Zoan kho thawng hoehnahlan kum sari nah thawng e kho lah a o).
23 They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
Hahoi Eshkol tanghling dawk a pha awh. Haw e misur paw hah abawm khuehoi a bouk awh teh, tami kahni touh ni a kâkayawt awh. Tale paw hoi thaibunglung paw hai a thokhai awh.
24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
Haw e misur bawm Isarelnaw ni a bouk pouh dawkvah, hote hmuen teh Eshkol tanghling ati awh.
25 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Hnin 40 hnukkhu, Kanaan ram tuetnae koehoi a ban awh.
26 They went and came to Moses, to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them and to all the congregation. They showed them the fruit of the land.
Hot patetlah Paran kahrawng dawk Kadesh vah Mosi hoi Aron hoi a taminaw pueng koe bout a pha awh. Ahnimouh ni tamimaya koe lawk a thokhai awh. Hot ram hoi e a pawnaw hah a patue awh.
27 They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us. Surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
Hahoi ahnimouh ni ahnimouh koe, na patounnae ram dawkvah ka cei awh teh, sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae tangngak doeh, hetheh haw e ram dawk e a pawnaw doeh.
28 However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.
Hatei, hote ram dawk khokasaknaw teh tami a thasai seng doeh. Khonaw hai rapan ka tawn e khopui seng doeh. Hothloilah Anakim catounnaw ka hmu awh.
29 Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan.”
Amaleknaw akalah ao awh teh, Hitnaw hoi Jebusitnaw, Amornaw monrui dawk ao awh. Hahoi Kanaannaw teh talî tengpam, Jordan palang rayawk lah ao awh telah a dei pouh awh.
30 Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let’s go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it!”
Hottelah, Kalep ni Mosi hmalah taminaw pueng sairasuep lah ao sak teh, pâtam vaiteh lat awh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tâ awh roeroe han telah a ti.
31 But the men who went up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.”
Hatei, ahni hoi rei kacetnaw ni, hotnaw tuk hanlah ka cet thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimouh hlak a thasai awh telah ati awh.
32 They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
Hottelah a tuet awh e ram kong teh Isarel catounnaw koe kamthang mathout lah a pathang awh, ramnaw pueng tuet hanelah ka cei awh navah, amamae a canaw patenghai a thei awh, ka hmu awh e naw teh a rasangpoung awh, a thasai seng doeh.
33 There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim. We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
Hahoi hete hmuen koevah Anakim catoun kalenpoungnaw ka hmu awh. Kaimanaw teh samtong patetlah doeh ka o awh ati awh.
