Numbers 13
1 And there the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 Send men to view the land of Chanaan, which I will give to the children of Israel, one of every tribe, of the rulers.
“Ke ke fekau ha kau tangata, ke nau ʻalu ʻo vakai ki he fonua ko Kēnani, ʻaia te u foaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ʻi he faʻahinga taki taha ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ke mo fekau ha tangata, ʻoku taki taha matāpule ʻiate kinautolu.”
3 Moses did what the Lord had commanded, sending from the desert of Pharan, principal men, whose names are these:
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, mei he toafa ko Palani: ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe matāpule ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
4 Of the tribe of Ruben, Sammua the son of Zechur.
Pea ko honau hingoa eni: ko Samua ko e foha ʻo Sakuli, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Saphat the son of Hurl.
Pea mo Safati ko e foha ʻo Holi, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Simione.
6 Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.
Pea mo Kelepi ko e foha ʻo Sifune, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Siuta.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
Pea mo ʻIkali ko e foha ʻo Siosefa, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsaka.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Osee the son of Nun.
Pea mo ʻOsea ko e foha ʻo Nuni, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻIfalemi.
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Phalti the son of Raphu.
Pea mo Paleti ko e foha ʻo Lafu, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Penisimani.
10 Of the tribe of Zabulon, Geddiel the son of Sodi.
Pea mo Katieli ko e foha ʻo Soti, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Sepuloni.
11 Of the tribe of Joseph, of the sceptre of Manasses, Gaddi the son of Susi.
Pea mo Kati ko e foha ʻo Susi, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Manase, ko e faʻahinga ʻo Siosefa.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
Pea mo ʻAmieli ko e foha ʻo Kimali, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Tani.
13 Of the tribe of Aser, Sthur the son of Michael.
Pea mo Situli ko e foha ʻo Mikaeli, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo ʻAseli.
14 Of the tribe of Nephtali, Nahabi the son of Vapsi.
Pea mo Napi ko e foha ʻo Vofisi, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Nafitali.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Guel the son of Machi.
Pea mo Kineli ko e foha ʻo Maki, ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Kata.
16 These are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to view the land: and he called Osee the son of Nun, Josue.
Ko e hingoa eni ʻoe kau tangata naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese kenau ō ʻo matakiʻi ʻae fonua. Pea naʻe ui ai ʻe Mōsese ʻa ʻOsea ko e foha ʻo Nuni ko Siosiua.
17 And Moses sent them to view the land of Chanaan, and said to them: Go you up by the south side. And when you shall come to the mountains,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Mōsese ʻakinautolu kenau matakiʻi ʻae fonua ko Kēnani, ʻo ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “Mou ʻalu hake [ʻi he hala ]ki he potu tonga, pea te mou hake ki he moʻunga:
18 View the land, of what sort it is: and the people that are the inhabitants thereof, whether they be strong or weak: few in number or many:
ʻO mamata ki he fonua, pe ʻoku fēfē ia; pea mo e kakai ʻoku nofo ai, pe ʻoku nau mālohi pe ʻoku nau vaivai, pe ʻoku nau tokolahi pe ʻoku nau tokosiʻi;
19 The land itself, whether it be good or bad: what manner of cities, walled or without walls:
Pea ʻoku fēfē ʻae fonua ʻoku nau nofo ai, pe ʻoku lelei pe ʻoku kovi; pe ʻoku fēfē honau ngaahi kolo ʻoku nau nofo ai, pe ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he ngaahi fale fehikitaki, pe ʻi he ngaahi kolo mālohi.”
20 The ground, fat or barren, woody or without trees. Be of good courage, and bring us of the fruits of the land. Now it was the time when the first ripe grapes are fit to be eaten.
Pea mo e fonua, pe ʻoku mahu pe ʻoku masiva, pe ʻoku ʻakauʻia, pe ʻikai: pea mou lototoʻa, ʻo ʻomi ʻae fua ʻoe fonua. Pea ko e kuonga ko ia ko e ngaahi ʻaho ia ʻoe fua ʻoe ʻuluaki kālepi.
21 And when they were gone up, they viewed the land from the desert of Sin, unto Rohob as you enter into Emath.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake, ʻo vakai ki he fonua, mei he toafa ʻo Sini ki Lehopi, ʻi he hala ʻoku haʻu ai ʻae fononga ki Hemati.
22 And they went up at the south side, and came to Hebron, where were Achiman and Sisai and Tholmai the sons of Enac. For Hebron was built seven years before Tanis the city of Egypt.
Pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻi he potu tonga, ʻonau haʻu ki Hepeloni; naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAnaki, ko ʻEhimani, mo Sesei, mo Talimi. (Vakai, naʻe langa ʻa Hepeloni ʻi he taʻu ʻe fitu ki muʻa ange ʻi he fokotuʻu ʻa Soani ʻi ʻIsipite.),
23 And going forward as far as the torrent of the cluster of grapes, they cut off a branch with its cluster of grapes, which two men carried upon a lever. They took also of the pomegranates and of the figs of that place:
Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he vaitafe ʻo ʻEsikoli, pea naʻa nau tuʻusi ʻi ai ʻae vaʻa mo hono fuhinga kālepi, pea naʻa nau haʻamo toko ua ia ʻi he ʻakau; pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae pomikanite, mo e fiki.
24 Which was called Nehelescol, that is to say, the torrent of the cluster of grapes, because from thence the children of Israel had carried a cluster of grapes.
Pea naʻe ui ʻae potu ko ia, ko e vaitafe ʻo ʻEsikoli, koeʻuhi ko e fuhinga kālepi naʻe tuʻusi ai ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
25 And they that went to spy out the land returned after forty days, having gone round all the country,
Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu, naʻa nau liliu mai mei heʻenau vakai ʻae fonua.
26 And came to Moses and Aaron and to all the assembly of the children of Israel to the desert of Pharan, which is in Cades. And speaking to them and to all the multitude, they shewed them the fruits of the land:
Pea naʻa nau ō pea haʻu kia Mōsese, mo ʻElone, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ki he toafa ʻo Palani, ki Ketesi; pea naʻe ʻomi ʻae ongoongo kiate kinautolu, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻa nau fakahā ʻae fua ʻoe fonua kiate kinautolu.
27 And they related and said: We came into the land to which thou sentest us, which in very deed floweth with milk and honey as may be known by these fruits:
Pea naʻa nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻa mau ō ki he fonua naʻa ke fekau ʻakimautolu ki ai, pea ko e moʻoni ʻoku pito ia ʻi he huʻahuhu mo e honi; pea ko hono fua eni.
28 But it hath very strong inhabitants, and the cities are great and walled. We saw there the race of Enac.
Ka ʻoku mālohi ʻae kakai ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua, pea kuo ʻā maka ʻae ngaahi kolo, ʻo lahi ʻaupito: pea naʻa mau mamata ʻi ai ki he fānau ʻa ʻAnaki.
29 Amalec dwelleth in the south, the Hethite and the Jebusite and the Amorrhite in the mountains: but the Chanaanite abideth by the sea and near the streams of the Jordan.
ʻOku nofo ʻi he potu fakatonga ʻoe fonua ʻae kau ʻAmaleki: pea ko e kau Heti, mo e kau Sepusi, mo e kau ʻAmoli, ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga: pea ko e kau Kēnani ʻoku nofo ʻakinautolu ʻo ofi ki he tahi, pea mo e matafonua ʻo Sioatani.”
30 In the mean time Caleb, to still the murmuring of the people that rose against Moses, said: Let us go up and possess the land, for we shall be able to conquer it.
Pea naʻe lolomi ʻe Kelepi ʻae kakai ʻi he ʻao ʻo Mōsese, ʻo ne pehē, “Ke tau ʻalu hake ke vave, ʻo maʻu ia; he ʻoku tau mālohi lahi ke ikuna ia.”
31 But the others, that had been with him, said: No, we are not able to go up to this people, because they are stronger than we.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata naʻa nau ʻalu hake mo ia, “ʻE ʻikai te tau mālohi ke ʻalu hake ki he kakai; he ʻoku nau mālohi ʻiate kitautolu.”
32 And they spoke ill of the land, which they had viewed, before the children of Israel, saying: The land which we have viewed, devoureth its inhabitants: the people, that we beheld, are of a tall stature.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae ongoongo kovi ʻoe fonua naʻa nau ʻalu ʻo vakai, ʻo pehē, “Ko e fonua naʻa mau ʻalu atu ke vakai ki ai, ko e fonua ia ʻoku ne keina ke ʻosi hono kakai; pea ko e kakai kotoa pē naʻa mau mamata ʻi ai ko e kau tangata lalahi ʻaupito.
33 There we saw certain monsters of the sons of Enac, of the giant kind: in comparison of whom, we seemed like locusts.
Pea naʻa mau mamata ʻi ai ki he kau tangata lalahi fakamanavahē, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAnaki ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻi he faʻahinga lalahi: pea naʻa mau tatau ʻi homau mata ʻomautolu mo e fanga heʻe, pea naʻa mau pehē moʻoni ʻi honau ʻao ʻonautolu.”
