Numbers 13
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 'Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel; of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a prince among them.'
“Soma akwansrafoɔ na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so—asase a mede rema; soma mmusuakuo dumienu no mu biara ntuanoni.”
3 And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD; all of them men who were heads of the children 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 were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
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 Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
Gad abusuakuo no ntuanoni ne Maki babarima Geuel.
16 These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun 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 Canaan, and said unto them: 'Get you up here into the South, and go up into the mountains;
Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔ atifi fam wɔ Negeb bepɔ no so
18 and see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they are strong or weak, 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 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;
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 it is fat or lean, whether there is wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land.' — Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes. —
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 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, at the entrance to Hamath.
Enti wɔkɔsraa asase no firi Sin ɛserɛ so kɔsii Rehob a ɛbɛn Hamat no.
22 And they went up into the South, and came unto Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. — Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in 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 unto the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a pole between two; they took also of the pomegranates, and of 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 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, 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 spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Adaduanan akyi, wɔfirii wɔn akwantuo no mu baeɛ.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and showed them 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 told him, and said: 'We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth 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 Howbeit the people that dwell in the land are fierce, and the cities are fortified, and very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
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 Amalek dwelleth in the land of the South; and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and along by the side of the 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 Caleb stilled the people toward Moses, and said: 'We should go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.'
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 with him said: 'We are not able to go up against the people; for they are 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 spread an evil report of the land which they had spied out unto the children of Israel, saying: 'The land, through which we have passed to spy it out, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of great 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 Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come of the Nephilim; and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.'
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.”
