< Numbers 13 >

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
2 “Send men for yourself, and they spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man—you send one man for the tribe of his fathers, everyone a prince among them.”
Isarelnaw koe ka poe e Kanaan ram tuet sak hanlah, tami patoun leih. Miphun tangkuem kahrawikungnaw thung hoi tami buet touh rip na tha han atipouh.
3 And Moses sends them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of YHWH; all of them [are] men, [and] they are heads of the sons of Israel,
Hatdawkvah, Mosi ni Paran kahrawngum hoi BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah a patoun. Abuemlahoi Isarel catoun kahrawikungnaw doeh.
4 and these [are] their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
Hotnaw e minnaw teh, Reuben miphun dawk hoi Zakkur capa Shammua,

11 for the tribe of Joseph (for the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;

Gad miphun dawk hoi Makhi capa Geuel,
16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses has sent to spy out the land; and Moses calls Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
Hetnaw heh ram tuet sak hanelah Mosi ni a patoun e naw doeh. Nun capa Hosi teh Mosi ni Joshua telah a kaw.
17 And Moses sends them to spy out the land of Canaan and says to them, “Go up this [way] into the south, and you have gone up the mountain,
Hot patetlah Mosi ni Kanaan ram tuet hanelah ahnimouh teh a patoun. Ahnimouh koe akalae lam dawk hoi hmaloe cet awh nateh, mon dawk luen awh.
18 and have seen the land, what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble, [and] whether it [is] few or many;
Ram teh bangtelah vaimoe. Haw e kho ka sak e taminaw hah a thasai awh maw, a thayoun awh maw, tami a pap maw ayoun maw tie hoi,
19 and what the land [is] in which it is dwelling, whether it [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses.
a onae ram teh kahawi na ou, a onae kho teh bangpatet lae na vaimoe. Rim na ou, rapanim kaawm na ou.
20 And what the land [is], whether it [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and you have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land”; now the days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes.
Ram teh ka tawnta na ou, ka takang awh na ou, ratu na ou. Tarankahawilah awm awh nateh, ram dawk e a paw phawt awh telah atipouh. Hote tueng teh misur paw a hminnae tueng hoi a kâvoe.
21 And they go up and spy out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
Hottelah a kamthaw awh teh, a takhang awh. Ram teh Zin kahrawngum hoi Hamath kâennae Rehob totouh, Kanaan ram koung a tuet awh.
22 and they go up by the south, and come to Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt),
Akalah hoi hmaloe a takhang awh teh Hebron vah a pha awh. Hawvah Anakim catounnaw, Ahiman Sheshai hoi Talmai taminaw ao awh. ( Hebron teh Izip ram hoi Zoan kho thawng hoehnahlan kum sari nah thawng e kho lah a o).
23 and they come to the Brook of Eshcol, and cut down a branch and one cluster of grapes there, and they carry it on a staff by two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Hahoi Eshkol tanghling dawk a pha awh. Haw e misur paw hah abawm khuehoi a bouk awh teh, tami kahni touh ni a kâkayawt awh. Tale paw hoi thaibunglung paw hai a thokhai awh.
24 That place has been called the Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
Haw e misur bawm Isarelnaw ni a bouk pouh dawkvah, hote hmuen teh Eshkol tanghling ati awh.
25 And they return from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Hnin 40 hnukkhu, Kanaan ram tuetnae koehoi a ban awh.
26 And they go and come to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the congregation back word, and show them the fruit of the land.
Hot patetlah Paran kahrawng dawk Kadesh vah Mosi hoi Aron hoi a taminaw pueng koe bout a pha awh. Ahnimouh ni tamimaya koe lawk a thokhai awh. Hot ram hoi e a pawnaw hah a patue awh.
27 And they recount to him, and say, “We came to the land to where you have sent us, and it is indeed flowing with milk and honey—and this [is] its fruit;
Hahoi ahnimouh ni ahnimouh koe, na patounnae ram dawkvah ka cei awh teh, sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae tangngak doeh, hetheh haw e ram dawk e a pawnaw doeh.
28 only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fortified [and] very great; and we have also seen children of Anak there.
Hatei, hote ram dawk khokasaknaw teh tami a thasai seng doeh. Khonaw hai rapan ka tawn e khopui seng doeh. Hothloilah Anakim catounnaw ka hmu awh.
29 Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite are dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.”
Amaleknaw akalah ao awh teh, Hitnaw hoi Jebusitnaw, Amornaw monrui dawk ao awh. Hahoi Kanaannaw teh talî tengpam, Jordan palang rayawk lah ao awh telah a dei pouh awh.
30 And Caleb stills the people concerning Moses and says, “Let us certainly go up—and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able to [do] it.”
Hottelah, Kalep ni Mosi hmalah taminaw pueng sairasuep lah ao sak teh, pâtam vaiteh lat awh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tâ awh roeroe han telah a ti.
31 And the men who have gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] stronger than we”;
Hatei, ahni hoi rei kacetnaw ni, hotnaw tuk hanlah ka cet thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimouh hlak a thasai awh telah ati awh.
32 and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we passed over to spy it out is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of stature;
Hottelah a tuet awh e ram kong teh Isarel catounnaw koe kamthang mathout lah a pathang awh, ramnaw pueng tuet hanelah ka cei awh navah, amamae a canaw patenghai a thei awh, ka hmu awh e naw teh a rasangpoung awh, a thasai seng doeh.
33 and there we saw the giants, sons of Anak, of the giants; and we are as grasshoppers in our own eyes—and so we were in their eyes.”
Hahoi hete hmuen koevah Anakim catoun kalenpoungnaw ka hmu awh. Kaimanaw teh samtong patetlah doeh ka o awh ati awh.
