< Numbers 13 >

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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.”
“Akka isaan dhaqanii biyya Kanaʼaan ishee ani Israaʼelootaaf kennuuf jiru sana basaasaniif namoota ergi. Tokkoo tokkoo abbootii gosaa keessaa hoogganaa tokko ergi.”
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,
Museen ajaja Waaqayyootiin Gammoojjii Phaaraan keessaa isaan erge. Hundi isaanii hooggantoota Israaʼelootaa turan.
4 and these [are] their names: for the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
Maqaan isaanii kanneenii dha: Gosa Ruubeen keessaa Shamuuʼaa ilma Zakuur;
5 for the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
gosa Simiʼoon keessaa Shaafaaxi ilma Hoorii;
6 for the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
gosa Yihuudaa keessaa Kaaleb ilma Yefunee;
7 for the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
gosa Yisaakor keessaa Yigiʼaal ilma Yoosef;
8 for the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea son of Nun;
gosa Efreem keessaa Hoosheeʼaa ilma Nuuni;
9 for the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
gosa Beniyaam keessaa Phaaltii ilma Raaphuu;
10 for the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
gosa Zebuuloon keessaa Gadiiʼeel ilma Soodii;
11 for the tribe of Joseph (for the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
gosa Minaasee jechuunis gosa Yoosef keessaa Gadii ilma Suus;
12 for the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
gosa Daan keessaa Amiiʼeel ilma Gemaal;
13 for the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
gosa Aasheer keessaa Sexuur ilma Miikaaʼel;
14 for the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vopshi;
gosa Niftaalem keessaa Naahibii ilma Wofsii;
15 for the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
gosa Gaad keessaa Geʼuuʼeel ilma Maakii ti.
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.
Egaa maqaawwan kunneen maqaawwan namoota akka isaan biyya sana basaasaniif jedhee Museen ergee dha. Museenis Hoosheeʼaa ilma Nuuni sana, “Iyyaasuu” jedhee moggaase.
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,
Museen yommuu akka isaan biyya Kanaʼaanii basaasaniif isaan ergetti akkana jedheen; “Karaa Negeeb darbaatii gara biyya gaaraatti ol baʼaa.
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;
Biyyi sun maal akka fakkaattu, namoonni achi jiraatanis jajjaboo yookaan dadhaboo, muraasa yookaan hedduu taʼuu isaanii ilaalaa.
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.
Isaan biyya akkamii keessa jiraatu? Gaarii yookaan gadhee? Magaalaawwan akkamii keessa jiraatu? Dallaa dhagaa hin qaban moo daʼoo jabaa qabu?
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.
Lafti isaa gabbataa dha moo gabbataa miti? Muka qaba moo hin qabu. Jabaadhaatii ija biyyattii keessaa muraasa fidaa.” Waqtiin sun yeroo iji wayinii kan jalqabaa itti bilchaatu ture.
21 And they go up and spy out the land, from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
Isaan ol baʼanii Gammoojjii Siin irraa jalqabanii hamma Rehoobitti gara Leeboo Hamaatitti biyyattii basaasan.
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),
Isaanis karaa Negeeb ol baʼanii gara Kebroon lafa Ahiiman, Sheeshaayii fi Talmaayi ilmaan Anaaq sun jiraataniitti dhufan. Kebroon kunis utuu Zooʼaan isheen biyya Gibxi sun hin ijaaramin waggaa torbaan dura ijaaramte.
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.
Isaanis yommuu Sulula Eshkool gaʼanitti hurbuu ija wayinii tokko kutan. Wayinii sanas roomaanii fi harbuu wajjin nama lama taʼanii danqaraadhaan baatan.
24 That place has been called the Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from there.
Iddoon sun sababii hurbuu ija wayinii kan warri Israaʼel kutan sanaatiif Sulula Eshkool jedhame.
25 And they return from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Jarris dhuma bultii afurtamaatti biyya sana basaasanii deebiʼan.
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.
Isaanis gara Qaadesh ishee Gammoojjii Phaaraan keessaa gara Musee fi Aroon, gara waldaa Israaʼel guutuu deebiʼanii dhufan. Achittis gabaasa isaaniif dhiʼeessan; ija biyyattiis isaan argisiisan.
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;
Isaanis akkana jedhanii Museetti himan: “Nu gara biyya ati itti nu ergite sanaa dhaqneerra; biyyattiin aannanii fi damma baafti! Iji ishees kunoo kana.
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.
Garuu namoonni achi jiraatan jajjaboo dha; magaalaawwan ishee dallaa jabaa qabu; gurguddaa dhas. Nu sanyii Anaaq iyyuu achitti argineerra.
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.”
Amaaleqoonni Negeeb keessa jiraatu; Heetonni, Yebuusonnii fi Amooronni biyya gaaraa keessa jiraatu; Kanaʼaanonni immoo galaana biraa fi qarqara Yordaanos jiraatu.”
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.”
Kaalebis fuula Musee duratti saba calʼisiisee, “Nu dafnee ol baanee biyyattii haa dhaallu; moʼachuu ni dandeenyaatii” jedhe.
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”;
Namoonni isa wajjin ol baʼanii turan garuu, “Nu warra sana dhaʼuu hin dandeenyu; isaan nurra jajjaboo dha” jedhan.
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;
Isaanis waaʼee biyya basaasan sanaa saba Israaʼel gidduutti oduu gadhee tamsaasan. Akkanas jedhan; “Biyyi nu basaasne sun biyya warra ishee keessa jiraatu iyyuu nyaattuu dha. Namoonni nu achitti argine hundinuu dhedheeroo dha.
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.”
Achitti Nefiiliimota argine; ilmaan Anaaq Nefiiliimota irraa dhufan. Nu ofuma keenyatti iyyuu korophisa fakkaanne; fuula isaanii durattis akkasuma taane.”
