< Numbers 13 >

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 Send you men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall you send a man, every one a ruler among them.
“Tuma vamwe varume kuti vandosora nyika yeKenani, yandiri kupa kuvaIsraeri. Tuma mutungamiri mumwe kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe rwamadzitateguru avo.”
3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
Saka, sokurayira kwaJehovha, Mozisi akavatuma vachibva nokurenje reParani. Vose vakanga vari vatungamiri vavaIsraeri.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
Haano mazita avo: kubva kurudzi rwaRubheni, Shamua mwanakomana waZakuri;

16 These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
Aya ndiwo mazita avarume vakatumwa naMozisi kundosora nyika. (Mozisi akatumidza Hoshea mwanakomana waNuni zita rokuti Joshua).
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
Mozisi akati avatuma kundosora nyika yeKenani, akati kwavari, “Kwidzai mupinde nechokuNegevhi uye nomunyika yamakomo.
18 And see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
Mundoona kuti nyika yakadini uye kuti vanhu vanogarako vakasimba here kana kuti havana, vashoma here kana kuti vazhinji.
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
Nyika yavanogara yakadini? Yakanaka here kana kuti yakaipa? Maguta avagere maari akadiniko? Haana masvingo here kana kuti akakomberedzwa?
20 And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be you of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.
Ko, ivhu racho rakadini? Rakaorera here kana kuti kwete? Mune miti here kana kuti hamuna? Muedze kwazvo kuti muuye nezvimwe zvezvibereko zvenyika iyo.” (Yakanga iri nguva yokutanga kuibva kwamazambiringa).
21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
Naizvozvo vakakwidza vakandosora nyika kubva kurenje reZini kusvikira kuRehobhi, kwakanangana neRebho Hamati.
22 And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
Vakakwidza vachipinda nechokuNegevhi vakasvika kuHebhuroni paigara Ahimeni, Sheshai naTarimai, zvizvarwa zvaAnaki. (Hebhuroni rakanga ravakwa makore manomwe Zoani risati ravakwa muIjipiti).
23 And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two on a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Vakati vasvika paMupata weEshikori, vakatema davi rimwe raiva nesumbu ramazambiringa. Vaviri vavo vakaritakura nedanda pakati pavo pamwe chete namatamba uye namaonde.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there.
Nzvimbo iyo yakanzi Mupata weEshikori nokuda kwesumbu ramazambiringa rakatemwa ipapo navaIsraeri.
25 And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
Mazuva makumi mana akati apera, vakadzoka kubva kundosora nyika.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
Vakadzokera kuna Mozisi naAroni nokuungano yose yavaIsraeri paKadheshi murenje reParani. Ipapo vakazivisa kwavari nokuungano yose uye vakavaratidza zvibereko zvenyika.
27 And they told him, and said, We came to the land where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Vakapa nhoroondo iyi kuna Mozisi: “Takaenda kunyika yamakatituma, uye inoerera mukaka nouchi! Hezvi zvibereko zvayo.
28 Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
Asi vanhu vanogarako vane simba kwazvo, uye maguta akakomberedzwa uye makuru kwazvo. Takaona kunyange zvizvarwa zvaAnaki ikoko.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
VaAmareki vanogara nechokuNegevhi; vaHiti, vaJebhusi navaAmori vanogara munyika yamakomo; uye vaKenani vanogara pedyo negungwa uye nomunzvimbo inotevedza Jorodhani.”
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Ipapo Karebhu akanyaradza vanhu pamberi paMozisi akati, “Tinofanira kukwidza tindotora nyika nokuti zvirokwazvo tinogona kuitora.”
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
Asi varume vakanga vaenda naye vakati, “Hatigoni kurwisa vanhu ava; vakasimba kutipfuura isu.”
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eats up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
Saka vakaparadzira mashoko akaipa pakati pavaIsraeri pamusoro penyika yavakanga vandosora. Vakati, “Nyika yatakandosora inodya vaya vanogaramo. Vanhu vose vatakaona ikoko vakakura kwazvo.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Takaona vaNefirimi (izvo zvizvarwa zvavaAnaki vanobva kuvaNefirimi) ikoko. Isu tainge mhashu pakuona kwedu, uye tainge takadarowo pakuona kwavo.”
