< Numbers 13 >

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
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."
“Namah kah hlang rhoek te tueih lamtah Kanaan kho te yaam uh saeh. Te te Israel ca rhoek taengah ka paek coeng. A napa rhoek koca lamloh hlang pakhat, hlang pakhat tah amamih kah lamkah khoboei la boeih tueih,” a ti nah.
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.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah olka bangla Moses loh amih te Paran khosoek lamloh a tueih. Amih tah Israel ca rhoek kah a lu hlang boeih ni.

16 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
Te kah hlang rhoek te Moses loh khohmuen yaam ham a tueih. Te vaengah Moses loh Nun capa Hosea te Joshua la a khue.
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:
Moses loh amih te Kanaan khohmuen yaam ham a tueih. Te vaengah amih te “Tuithim lamloh pahoi cet uh lamtah tlang la yoeng uh.
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;
Khohmuen neh a khuikah khosa pilnam te so uh. Aka tlungluen nim, aka kha nim, yol nim, yet nim?
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;
A khuiah kho a sak te mebang khohmuen nim? Then nim, thae nim? A khuiah kho a sak khopuei rhoek te rhaehhmuen nen nim, hmuencak nen nim?
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."
Diklai te ul nim, caep nim? A khuiah thing om nim, om pawt nim? Moem uh thae lamtah khohmuen thaihtae te hang khuen uh. A tue khaw misur thaihcuek tue coeng ni,” a ti nah.
21 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to Lebo Hamath.
Te dongah cet uh tih khohmuen te Zin khosoek lamloh Lebo Khamath Rehob duela a yaam uh.
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.)
Te dongah tuithim longah cet uh tih Hebron la pawk uh. Te vaengah Anakim cahlah Sheshai Ahiman neh Talmai ana om coeng. Hebron he Egypt Zoan mikhmuh ah kum rhih khuiah a thoh.
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.
Eshkol soklong la a pawk uh vaengah thingluei te a saih uh tih misur a su pakhat te panit loh cunghloeng dongah a koh. Te vaengah tale thaih neh thaibu thaih te a khuen uh.
24 That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
Israel ca rhoek loh te lamkah thaihsu te a haih uh kawng dongah te hmuen te Eshkol soklong a sui.
25 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Khohnin likip a thok vaengah khohmuen aka yaam lamloh mael uh.
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.
Cet tih Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah khaw, Kadesh Paran khosoek kah Israel ca rhaengpuei boeih taengla pawk. Amih taengah olka a khuen uh tih rhaengpuei boeih taengah khohmuen thingthaih te a tueng uh.
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.
A taengla a puen uh vaengah, “Kaimih nan tueih nah khohmuen la ka pawk uh, suktui neh khoitui khaw long ngawn tih he he a thaih ni.
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.
Lungli lungla la, khohmuen kah khosa pilnam khaw tlung tih khopuei vong cak khaw, bahoeng khangmai. Te phoeiah Anakim cahlah rhoek pataeng hnap ka hmuh uh.
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."
Amalek loh tuithim khohmuen ah kho a sak. Khitti neh Jebusi neh Amori loh tlang ah kho a sak. Kanaan loh tuipuei taeng neh Jordan tuikaeng ah kho a sak,” a ti uh.
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."
Tedae Kaleb loh pilnam te Moses mikhmuh ah a sim tih, “Cet rhoe cet uh sih lamtah te te pang uh sih, te te coeng rhoe coeng ta,” a ti.
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."
Te vaengah amah neh aka cet hlang rhoek loh, “Mamih lakah tlungluen coeng tih pilnam te paan ham coeng pawh,” a ti uh.
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.
Khohmuen a yaam uh te theetnah la a khuen uh tih Israel ca rhoek taengah, “Khohmuen te yaam ham te longah ka paan uh, khohmuen tah amah khosa rhoek loh a yoop tih a khui kah pilnam te cungkui hlang la boeih ka hmuh uh.
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."
Teah te Anakim koca Nephilim te ka hmuh uh. Nephilim lamkah phoeiah tah kaimih mik ah tangku bangla ka om uh coeng tih amih mik ah khaw ka om van,” a ti uh.
