Numbers 13
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
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.”
“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 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,
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 and these [are] their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
Amannya gaabwe ge gano: Eyava mu kika kya Lewubeeni yali Sammuwa mutabani wa Zakula.
5 for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
Eyava mu kika kya Simyoni yali Safati mutabani wa Kooli.
6 for the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
Eyava mu kika kya Yuda yali Kalebu mutabani wa Yefune.
7 for the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
Eyava mu kika kya Isakaali yali Igali mutabani wa Yusufu.
8 for the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea son of Nun;
Eyava mu kika kya Efulayimu yali Koseya mutabani wa Nuuni.
9 for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
Eyava mu kika kya Benyamini yali Paluti mutabani wa Lafu.
10 for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
Eyava mu kika kya Zebbulooni yali Gadyeri mutabani wa Sodi.
11 for the tribe of Joseph (for the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
Eyava mu kika kya Manase, ky’ekika kya Yusufu, yali Gaadi mutabani wa Susi.
12 for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
Eyava mu kika kya Ddaani yali Ammiyeri mutabani wa Gemali.
13 for the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
Eyava mu kika kya Aseri yali Sesula mutabani wa Mikaeri.
14 for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vopshi;
Eyava mu kika kya Nafutaali yali Nakabi mutabani wa Vofesi.
15 for the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
Eyava mu kika kya Gaadi yali Geweri mutabani wa Maki.
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.
Ago ge mannya ag’abasajja Musa be yatuma okugenda okuketta n’okwetegereza ensi eyo. Musa yali atuumye Koseya mutabani wa Nuuni erinnya Yoswa.
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,
Musa n’abatuma okuketta n’okwetegereza ensi ya Kanani, n’abagamba nti, “Mwambuke nga muyita mu Negebu muggukire mu nsi ey’ensozi.
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;
Mwetegerezenga ensi nga bw’efaanana, n’abantu baamu nga bwe bali, obanga ba maanyi oba banafu, obanga bangi oba batono.
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.
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 [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.
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 And they go up and spy out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
Awo ne bambuka ne beetegereza ensi okuva mu ddungu lya Zini okutuuka e Lekobu okumpi n’awayingirirwa mu Kamasi.
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),
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 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.
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 has been called the Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
Ekifo ekyo ne kiyitibwa Ekiwonvu kya Esukoli, olw’ekirimba ekyo abaana ba Isirayiri kye baatemamu.
25 And they return from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Awo nga wayiseewo ennaku amakumi ana ne bakomawo nga bamaze okuketta ensi.
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.
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 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;
Ne bategeeza Musa nti, “Twatuuka mu nsi gye watutumamu: ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, ejjudde ebirungi ebyereere, era bino bye bibala byamu.
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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
Awo Kalebu n’asirisa abantu awali Musa n’agamba nti, “Twambukirewo kaakano tutwale ensi eyo, kubanga ndaba nga tusobola okugiwangula.”
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”;
Kyokka abaagenda ne Kalebu okuketta ne baddamu nti, “Abantu bali tetubasobola, batusinga amaanyi.”
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;
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 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.”
Twalabayo n’Abanefisi, abazzukulu ba Anaki abava mu Banefiri. Bwe twetunulako nga tuli ng’obwacaaka, era nabo nga bwe batulaba bwe batyo.”
