Numbers 13
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
2 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.
“Tũma arũme amwe mathiĩ magathigaane bũrũri wa Kaanani, ũrĩa ngũhe andũ a Isiraeli. Tũma mũtongoria ũmwe wao, kuuma o mũhĩrĩga o mũhĩrĩga wa maithe mao.”
3 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.
Nake Musa agĩathĩkĩra watho wa Jehova, na agĩtũma andũ acio kuuma Werũ wa Parani. Andũ acio othe maarĩ atongoria a andũ a Isiraeli.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, the son of Zaccur.
Maya nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma atongoria acio: kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Rubeni, aarĩ Shamua mũrũ wa Zakuri;
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, the son of Hori.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Simeoni, aarĩ Shafati mũrũ wa Hori;
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Juda, aarĩ Kalebu mũrũ wa Jefune;
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, the son of Joseph.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Isakaru, aarĩ Igali mũrũ wa Jusufu;
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, the son of Nun.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Efiraimu, aarĩ Hoshea mũrũ wa Nuni;
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, the son of Raphu.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini, aarĩ Paliti mũrũ wa Rafu;
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, the son of Sodi.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Zebuluni, aarĩ Gadieli mũrũ wa Sodi;
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, that is of the family of Manasseh, Gaddi, the son of Susi.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Manase (na nĩguo mũhĩrĩga wa Jusufu), aarĩ Gadi mũrũ wa Susi;
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, the son of Gemalli.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Dani, aarĩ Amieli mũrũ wa Gemali;
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, the son of Michael
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Asheri, aarĩ Sethuri mũrũ wa Mikaeli;
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, the son of Vophsi.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Nafitali, aarĩ Nahabi mũrũ wa Vofisi;
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Gevel, the son of Machi.
kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Gadi, aarĩ Geueli mũrũ wa Maki.
16 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.
Macio nĩmo marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa Musa aatũmire magathigaane bũrũri ũcio. Nake Musa akĩgarũra rĩĩtwa rĩa Hoshea mũrũ wa Nuni akĩmũtua Joshua.
17 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;
Rĩrĩa Musa aatũmire andũ acio magathigaane bũrũri wa Kaanani, aameerire atĩrĩ, “Ambatai mũtuĩkanĩrie Negevu, mũthiĩ bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ irĩma.
18 And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;
Tuĩriai bũrũri ũcio ũrĩa ũtariĩ, muone kana andũ akuo marĩ na hinya kana matirĩ hinya, o na kana nĩ aingĩ kana nĩ anini.
19 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;
Ningĩ mũmenye bũrũri ũcio matũũraga ũhaana atĩa? Nĩ mwega kana nĩ mũũru? Matũũraga matũũra ma mũthemba ũrĩkũ? Nĩ mairigĩre na thingo cia hinya kana ti mairigĩre?
20 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.
Tĩĩri wakuo ũtariĩ atĩa? Nĩ mũnoru kana nĩ mũhĩnju? Kũrĩ mĩtĩ kana gũtirĩ? Geriai mũno mũrehe maciaro mamwe ma bũrũri ũcio.” (Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo mĩthabibũ yaambagĩrĩria kwĩrua.)
21 So they went up and got a view of the land, from the waste land of Zin to Rehob, on the way to Hamath.
Tondũ ũcio makĩambata magĩthigaana bũrũri ũcio kuuma Werũ wa Zini nginya Rehobu, merekeire Lebo-Hamathu.
22 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.)
Mambatire matuĩkanĩirie Negevu na magĩkinya Hebironi kũrĩa Ahimani, na Sheshai, na Talimai, njiaro cia Anaki, maatũũraga. (Itũũra rĩa Hebironi rĩakĩtwo mĩaka mũgwanja mbere ya itũũra rĩa Zoani gwakwo bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri.)
23 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.
Rĩrĩa maakinyire Kĩanda gĩa Eshikoli, magĩtema rũhonge rwarĩ na kĩmanjĩka kĩmwe gĩa thabibũ. Andũ eerĩ ao makĩrũkuuanĩra na mũtĩ, hamwe na makomamanga mamwe, na ngũyũ.
24 That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.
Naho handũ hau hagĩĩtwo Kĩanda gĩa Eshikoli nĩ ũndũ wa kĩmanjĩka kĩu gĩa thabibũ kĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli acio maatemire ho.
25 At the end of forty days they came back from viewing the land.
Matukũ mĩrongo ĩna mathira magĩcooka kuuma gũthigaana bũrũri ũcio.
26 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.
Nao magĩcooka kũrĩ Musa, na Harũni na kĩrĩndĩ gĩothe kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kũu Kadeshi o kũu Werũ-inĩ wa Parani. Kũu makĩhe Musa na Harũni, na kĩũngano gĩothe ũhoro ũcio na makĩmoonia maciaro ma bũrũri ũcio.
27 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.
Makĩhe Musa ũhoro ũyũ: “Nĩtwatoonyire bũrũri ũrĩa watũtũmire, naguo nĩ bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ! Maya nĩmo maciaro maguo.
28 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.
No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa matũũraga kũu marĩ hinya, na matũũra mao nĩmairigĩre na thingo cia hinya, na nĩ manene mũno. O na ningĩ nĩtuonire njiaro cia Anaki kuo.
29 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.
Aamaleki matũũraga kũu Negevu; Ahiti, na Ajebusi, na Aamori matũũraga bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma; Akaanani nao matũũraga ndwere-inĩ cia iria na hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani.”
30 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.
Nake Kalebu agĩkiria andũ acio o hau mbere ya Musa, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kwambata tũthiĩ twĩnyiitĩre bũrũri ũcio, nĩ ũndũ no tũhote gwĩka ũguo.”
31 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.
No andũ arĩa maambatĩte nake makiuga atĩrĩ, “Tũtingĩtharĩkĩra andũ acio, marĩ na hinya gũtũkĩra.”
32 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.
Nao makĩhunjia ũhoro mũũru kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli ũkoniĩ bũrũri ũcio maathigaanĩte. Makiuga atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũcio tũrathigaanire nĩ bũrũri ũgũtambuura andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo ũkamaniina biũ. Andũ arĩa othe tuonire kuo nĩ anene mũno.
33 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.
Nĩtuonire Anefili kuo (njiaro cia Anaki, a kĩruka kĩa Anefili). Tweyonaga tũhaana ta ndaahi, o nao moonaga tũhaana o ta cio.”
