Numbers 13
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 Sende thou men out to search the lande of Canaan which I giue vnto the children of Israel: of euery tribe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, such as are all rulers among them.
“Tuma abasajja bagende bakette beetegereze ensi ya Kanani gye ŋŋenda okuwa abaana ba Isirayiri. Mu buli kika kya bajjajja ojja kulondamu omusajja omu ku bakulembeze baakyo.”
3 Then Moses sent them out of the wildernesse of Paran at the commandement of the Lord: all those men were heades of the children of Israel.
Bw’atyo Musa n’abatuma okuva mu ddungu lya Palani, ng’ekiragiro kya Mukama Katonda bwe kyali. Bonna baali bakulembeze b’abaana ba Isirayiri.
4 Also their names are these: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the sonne of Zaccur:
Amannya gaabwe ge gano: Eyava mu kika kya Lewubeeni yali Sammuwa mutabani wa Zakula.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the sonne of Hori:
Eyava mu kika kya Simyoni yali Safati mutabani wa Kooli.
6 Of the tribe of Iudah, Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh:
Eyava mu kika kya Yuda yali Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune.
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the sonne of Ioseph:
Eyava mu kika kya Isakaali yali Igali mutabani wa Yusufu.
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the sone of Nun:
Eyava mu kika kya Efulayimu yali Koseya mutabani wa Nuuni.
9 Of the tribe of Beniamin, Palti the sonne of Raphu:
Eyava mu kika kya Benyamini yali Paluti mutabani wa Lafu.
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the sone of Sodi:
Eyava mu kika kya Zebbulooni yali Gadyeri mutabani wa Sodi.
11 Of the tribe of Ioseph, to wit, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the sonne of Susi:
Eyava mu kika kya Manase, ky’ekika kya Yusufu, yali Gaadi mutabani wa Susi.
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the sonne of Gemalli:
Eyava mu kika kya Ddaani yali Ammiyeri mutabani wa Gemali.
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the sonne of Michael:
Eyava mu kika kya Aseri yali Sesula mutabani wa Mikaeri.
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the sonne of Vophsi:
Eyava mu kika kya Nafutaali yali Nakabi mutabani wa Vofesi.
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the sonne of Machi.
Eyava mu kika kya Gaadi yali Geweri mutabani wa Maki.
16 These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spie out the lande: and Moses called ye name of Oshea the sonne of Nun, Iehoshua.
Ago ge mannya ag’abasajja Musa be yatuma okugenda okuketta n’okwetegereza ensi eyo. Musa yali atuumye Koseya mutabani wa Nuuni erinnya Yoswa.
17 So Moses sent them to spie out the lande of Canaan, and said vnto them, Go vp this way toward the South, and go vp into the moutaines,
Musa n’abatuma okuketta n’okwetegereza ensi ya Kanani, n’abagamba nti, “Mwambuke nga muyita mu Negebu muggukire mu nsi ey’ensozi.
18 And consider the land what it is, and the people that dwel therein, whether they be strong or weake, either fewe or many,
Mwetegerezenga ensi nga bw’efaanana, n’abantu baamu nga bwe bali, obanga ba maanyi oba banafu, obanga bangi oba batono.
19 Also what the lande is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad: and what cities they be, that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents, or in walled townes:
Mulyetegereza obanga ensi mwe babeera nnungi oba mbi. Era muliraba ebibuga byabwe obanga tebiriiko bisenge bya bbugwe oba byetooloddwa bigo.
20 And what the land is: whether it be fat or leane, whether there be trees therein, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruite of the lande (for then was the time of the first ripe grapes)
Mulikebera okulaba obanga ensi yaabwe ngimu oba nkalu, era obanga erimu emiti mingi oba temuli. Mwenywezanga ne muleetayo ku bibala eby’omu nsi eyo.” Ekyo kye kyali ekiseera ezabbibu nga zaakatandika okwengera.
21 So they went vp, and searched out the lande, from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, to go to Hamath,
Awo ne bambuka ne beetegereza ensi okuva mu ddungu lya Zini okutuuka e Lekobu okumpi n’awayingirirwa mu Kamasi.
22 And they ascended toward the South, and came vnto Hebron, where were Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the sonnes of Anak. And Hebron was built seuen yeere before Zoan in Egypt.
Ne bambuka mu Negebu ne batuuka e Kebbulooni, era wano Akimaani ne Sesayi ne Talumaayi abazzukulu ba Anaki nga we babeera. Kebbulooni bwe kyamala okuzimbibwa waayitawo emyaka musanvu ne Zowani eky’omu Misiri nakyo ne kiryoka kizimbibwa.
23 Then they came to the riuer of Eshcol, and cut downe thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it vpon a barre betweene two, and brought of the pomegranates and of the figges.
Ne batuuka mu kiwonvu ekiyitibwa Esukoli ne batemamu ettabi limu eryaliko ekirimba kimu ekya zabbibu, abantu babiri ne bakireetera ku musituliro. Era ne baleeta ne ku makomamawanga ne ku ttiini.
24 That place was called the riuer Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes, which the children of Israel cut downe thence.
Ekifo ekyo ne kiyitibwa Ekiwonvu kya Esukoli, olw’ekirimba ekyo abaana ba Isirayiri kye baatemamu.
25 Then after fourtie dayes, they turned againe from searching of the land.
Awo nga wayiseewo ennaku amakumi ana ne bakomawo nga bamaze okuketta ensi.
26 And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and vnto al the Congregation of the children of Israel, in the wildernesse of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought to the, and to all the Congregation tydings, and shewed them the fruite of the lande.
Ne bajja eri Musa ne Alooni e Kadesi mu ddungu lya Palani. Ne babakomezaawo obubaka n’eri ekibiina kyonna, era ne babanjulira ebibala bye baggya mu nsi eyo.
27 And they tolde him, and saide, We came vnto the land whither thou hast sent vs, and surely it floweth with milke and honie: and here is of the fruite of it.
Ne bategeeza Musa nti, “Twatuuka mu nsi gye watutumamu: ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, ejjudde ebirungi ebyereere, era bino bye bibala byamu.
28 Neuerthelesse the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and exceeding great: and moreouer, we sawe the sonnes of Anak there.
Naye nno abantu ababeera mu nsi omwo ba maanyi, n’ebibuga byabwe binene nnyo era byetooloddwako ebigo. Ate n’ekirala twalabaayo n’abazzukulu ba Anaki.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the South countrey, and the Hittites, and the Iebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountaines, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Iorden.
Abamaleki babeera mu Negebu mu bukiikaddyo; Abakiiti n’Abayebusi, n’Abamoli babeera mu nsi ey’ensozi; n’Abakanani ne babeera okumpi n’ennyanja ne ku lubalama lw’omugga Yoludaani.”
30 Then Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and saide, Let vs go vp at once, and possesse it: for vndoubtedly we shall ouercome it.
Awo Kalebu n’asirisa abantu awali Musa n’agamba nti, “Twambukirewo kaakano tutwale ensi eyo, kubanga ndaba nga tusobola okugiwangula.”
31 But the men, that went vp with him, saide, we be not able to goe vp against the people: for they are stronger then we.
Kyokka abaagenda ne Kalebu okuketta ne baddamu nti, “Abantu bali tetubasobola, batusinga amaanyi.”
32 So they brought vp an euill report of the land which they had searched for the children of Israel, saying, The lande which we haue gone through to search it out, is a land that eateth vp the inhabitants thereof: for all the people that we sawe in it, are men of great stature.
Bwe batyo ne babunya mu baana ba Isirayiri alipoota etaali nnungi ng’efa ku nsi gye baali bagenze okuketta; nga bagamba nti, “Ensi gye twayitaayitamu nga tugiketta tesobola na kuliisa bantu baayo abagituulamu; ate n’abantu bonna be twalabamu baali ba kiwago.
33 For there we sawe gyants, the sonnes of Anak, which come of the gyants, so that we seemed in our sight like grashoppers: and so wee were in their sight.
Twalabayo n’Abanefisi, abazzukulu ba Anaki abava mu Banefiri. Bwe twetunulako nga tuli ng’obwacaaka, era nabo nga bwe batulaba bwe batyo.”
