Numbers 13
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 Send for thee men, and let them spy the land of the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for a tribe, thou shalt send them away according to their families, every one of them a prince.
“Soma akwansrafoɔ na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so—asase a mede rema; soma mmusuakuo dumienu no mu biara ntuanoni.”
3 And Moses sent them out of the wilderness of Pharan by the word of the Lord; all these [were] the princes of the sons of Israel.
Enti Mose yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no. Ɔsomaa mmarima dumienu a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmusuakuo ntuanofoɔ firi wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ Paran ɛserɛ so.
4 And these [are] their names: of the tribe of Ruben, Samuel the son of Zachur.
Saa mmusuakuo no ne wɔn mpanimfoɔ no edin na ɛdidi so yi: Ruben abusuakuo no ntuanoni ne Sakur babarima Samua;
5 Of the tribe of Symeon, Saphat the son of Suri.

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Gudiel the son of Macchi.
Gad abusuakuo no ntuanoni ne Maki babarima Geuel.
16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Ause the son of Naue, Joshua.
Nnipa yi na Mose somaa wɔn ma wɔkɔsraa Kanaan asase no. Mose na ɔmaa Nun ba Hosea edin Yosua.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Chanaan, and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and ye shall go up to the mountain,
Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔ atifi fam wɔ Negeb bepɔ no so
18 and ye shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or [whether] they are few or many.
na monhwɛ sɛdeɛ ɛhɔ asase no te; afei, monhwɛ wɔn a wɔte hɔ no nso tebea mu sɛ wɔwɔ ahoɔden anaa wɔyɛ mmerɛ, sɛ wɔdɔɔso anaa wɔsua
19 And what the land is on which they dwell, [whether] it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether they dwell in walled [cities] or unwalled.
anaasɛ asase no mu wɔ sradeɛ anaasɛ nso sradeɛ nni mu, ne nkuro a ɛwɔ hɔ, sɛ ɛyɛ nkuraa anaa wɔabɔ ho ban,
20 And what the land is, whether rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and ye shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days [were] the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.
sɛ asase no yɛ asasebereɛ anaa asasenini anaasɛ nnua pii wɔ so. Monnsuro na momfa ɛhɔ nnɔbaeɛ no bi mmra.” Saa ɛberɛ no na wɔrete bobe atekane.
21 And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.
Enti wɔkɔsraa asase no firi Sin ɛserɛ so kɔsii Rehob a ɛbɛn Hamat no.
22 And they went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of Egypt.
Wɔrekɔ atifi fam no, wɔdii ɛkan faa Negeb bɛduruu Hebron. Ɛhɔ na wɔhunuu Anak asefoɔ a wɔfrɛ wɔn Ahiman, Sesai ne Talmai. Hebron yɛ kuro dada. Wɔkyekyeree saa kuro no ansa na wɔrekyekyere Soan a ɛwɔ Misraim no.
23 And they came to the valley of the cluster and surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes upon it, and bore it on staves, and [they took] of the pomegranates and the figs.
Afei, wɔbaa baabi a seesei wɔfrɛ hɔ “Eskol” a aseɛ ne “Siaka”, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔhunuu bobe siaka bebree wɔ hɔ! Wɔtwaa siaka baako a nnipa baanu na wɔwuraa no dua soaeɛ. Ɛnna wɔfaa ateaa ne borɔdɔma aba sɛ adekyerɛdeɛ de kɔeɛ.
24 And they called that place, The valley of the cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
Saa ɛberɛ no, Israelfoɔ no too subɔnhwa hɔ edin sɛ “Eskol” a asekyerɛ ne “Siaka”, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔhunuu bobe no siaka pii wɔ hɔ.
25 And they returned from thence, having surveyed the land, after forty days.
Adaduanan akyi, wɔfirii wɔn akwantuo no mu baeɛ.
26 And they proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Pharan Cades; and they brought word to them and to all the congregation, and they shewed the fruit of the land:
Wɔkaa deɛ wɔkɔhunuiɛ nyinaa kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Paran ɛserɛ so wɔ Kades na wɔde aduaba a wɔde baeɛ no kyerɛeɛ.
27 and they reported to him, and said, We came into the land into which thou sentest us, a land flowing with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Asɛm a wɔbɛkaeɛ ne sɛ, “Yɛduruu asase a wosomaa yɛn sɛ yɛnkɔsra so no so, na nokwasɛm, ɛyɛ ɔman a ɛyɛ fɛ—asase a ɛwoɔ ne nufosuo sen wɔ so. Aduaba a yɛde baeɛ yi di ho adanseɛ.
28 Only the nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children of Enach.
Nanso na nnipa a wɔtete hɔ no yɛ den. Wɔn nkuro no soso na wɔabɔ ho ban nso. Yɛhunuu Anak asefoɔ akantinka nso wɔ hɔ.
29 And Amalec dwells in the land toward the south: and the Chettite and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwells in the hill country: and the Chananite dwells by the sea, and by the river Jordan.
Amalekfoɔ te anafoɔ ɛnna Hetifoɔ, Yebusifoɔ ne Amorifoɔ nso tete mmepɔ so. Ɛnna Kanaanfoɔ nso tete ntam ɛpo no ne Yordan subɔnhwa ntam.”
30 And Chaleb stayed the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them.
Na ɛberɛ a nnipa no gyina Mose anim no, Kaleb sane hyɛɛ wɔn nkuran sɛ, “Momma yɛmforo nkɔ hɔ prɛko pɛ na yɛnkɔgye wɔn nsam, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛbɛtumi adi wɔn so nkonim.”
31 But the men that went up together with him said, We will not go up, for we shall not by any means be able to go up against the nation, for it is much stronger than we.
Akwansrafoɔ no bi kaa sɛ, “Nanso ɛnyɛ ahoɔdenfoɔ sei na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛne wɔn di asie. Wɔbɛtɔre yɛn ase!”
32 And they brought a horror of that land which they surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary stature.
Akwansrafoɔ no mu fa kɛseɛ no ara asɛm a wɔkaeɛ no maa Israelfoɔ no aba mu buiɛ. Wɔkaa sɛ, “Akofoɔ bebree wɔ asase no so na ɛhɔ nnipa nso yɛ ahoɔdenfoɔ,
33 And there we saw the giants; and we were before them as locusts, yea even so were we before them.
na yɛhunuu Anakfoɔ no bi a ɛfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mu wɔyɛ abrane no. Sɛ yɛne wɔn gyina hɔ a, na yɛayɛ te sɛ mmɛbɛ wɔ yɛn ani so. Na saa nso na yɛyɛɛ wɔ wɔn ani soɔ.”
