Numbers 13
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Awo Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 "Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one 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 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.
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 These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zakkur.
Amannya gaabwe ge gano: Eyava mu kika kya Lewubeeni yali Sammuwa mutabani wa Zakula.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
Eyava mu kika kya Simyoni yali Safati mutabani wa Kooli.

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Maki.

16 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the 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 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up this way by the Negev, and go up into the hill country:
Musa n’abatuma okuketta n’okwetegereza ensi ya Kanani, n’abagamba nti, “Mwambuke nga muyita mu Negebu muggukire mu nsi ey’ensozi.
18 and see the land, what it is; and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are 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 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;
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. Be courageous, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe 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 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to Lebo Hamath.
Awo ne bambuka ne beetegereza ensi okuva mu ddungu lya Zini okutuuka e Lekobu okumpi n’awayingirirwa mu Kamasi.
22 They went up by the Negev, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, were there. (Now 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 They came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes on it, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and 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 was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
Ekifo ekyo ne kiyitibwa Ekiwonvu kya Esukoli, olw’ekirimba ekyo abaana ba Isirayiri kye baatemamu.
25 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Awo nga wayiseewo ennaku amakumi ana ne bakomawo nga bamaze okuketta ensi.
26 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.
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 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 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 However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the descendants 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 dwells in the land of the Negev: and the Hethites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along 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 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."
Awo Kalebu n’asirisa abantu awali Musa n’agamba nti, “Twambukirewo kaakano tutwale ensi eyo, kubanga ndaba nga tusobola okugiwangula.”
31 But the men who went up with him said, "We aren't able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we."
Kyokka abaagenda ne Kalebu okuketta ne baddamu nti, “Abantu bali tetubasobola, batusinga amaanyi.”
32 They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, "The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great 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 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."
Twalabayo n’Abanefisi, abazzukulu ba Anaki abava mu Banefiri. Bwe twetunulako nga tuli ng’obwacaaka, era nabo nga bwe batulaba bwe batyo.”
