< Numbers 13 >

1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
2 Send for thee men and let them spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving unto the sons of Israel, —one man each for the tribe of his fathers, shalt thou send, each one a prince among them.
“Sulela kais sie mwet kol ke sruf singoul luo ah, ac supwalosla in som kalngeyuk ke luman acn Canaan, su nga ac fah sang nu sin mwet Israel.”
3 So then Moses sent them out of the desert of Paran, at the bidding of Yahweh, —all of them, great men, heads of the sons of Israel, were they.
Ke ma inge Moses el oru oana, ac supwala mwet kol liki acn mwesis lun Paran, fal nu ke sap lun LEUM GOD, oana ma takla ten inge:
4 And, these, are their names, —Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, son of Zaccur;
Sruf Mwet Kol Reuben Shammua wen natul Zaccur Simeon Shaphat wen natul Hori Judah Caleb wen natul Jephunneh Issachar Igal wen natul Joseph Ephraim Hoshea wen natul Nun Benjamin Palti wen natul Raphu Zebulun Gaddiel wen natul Sodi Manasseh Gaddi wen natul Susi Dan Ammiel wen natul Gemalli Asher Sethur wen natul Michael Naphtali Nahbi wen natul Vophsi Gad Geuel wen natul Machi Pa inge mwet kalngeyuk su Moses el supwala in tuni ouiyen acn sac. El ekulla inel Hoshea wen natul Nun nu ke Joshua.
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, son of Hori;
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, son of Jephunneh;
7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal, son of Joseph;
8 Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, son of Nun;
9 Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti, son of Raphu;
10 Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel, son of Sodi;
11 Of the tribe of Joseph—of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi son of Susi;
12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel, son of Gemalli;
13 Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur, son of Michael;
14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi, son of Vophsi;
15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel, son of Machi.
16 These, are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, —but Moses called Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.
17 So Moses sent them, to spy out the land of Canaan, —and said unto them—Go up, here in the South, Yea ye shall go up the mountain;
Pacl se Moses el supwalos in som, el fahk nu selos, “Utyak ke inkanek nu epang, ac fahla nu layen eir lun acn Canaan, na fanyak nu in acn oasr eol we.
18 And shall see the land, what it is, —And the people that dwell thereupon, Whether they are, strong, or weak, Whether they are, few or many;
Som ac liye lah acn we acn fuka se, ac liye lah pus ku pu mwet we. Liye pac lah mwet we elos mwet ku ku munas.
19 And what, the land, is, wherein they dwell, Whether it is, good, or, bad, —And the cities within which they dwell, Whether in camps or in strongholds;
Kowos in liye lah acn sac wo ku koluk, ac acn mwet uh muta we lah nien na aktuktuk, ku siti ma kuhlusyukyak ke pot ku.
20 And what the land is, Whether, fat, or, lean, Whether there is timber therein or is not, Then shall ye pluck up courage and take of the fruit of the land. Now the days, were the days of the first-fruits of grapes.
Liye pac lah fohkon acn we wo, ac pus sak we. Ac ke kowos foloko, kowos in esam in use kutu fokinsak we.” (Pacl se inge grape uh mutawauk in mwesrla.)
21 So they went up, and spied out the land, —from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the entering in of Hamath.
Ke ma inge mwet ah utyak nu epang ac tuni acn uh, mutawauk yen mwesis lun Zin, layen eir lac na nwe Rehab, su oan apkuran nu Innek In Utyak Nu Hamath, layen epang.
22 Yea they went up in the South and entered as far as Hebron, and there, were Ahiman Sheshai and Talmai descendants of the Anak. Now, Hebron, was built seven years, before Zoan of Egypt.
Elos utyak meet nu layen eir ac tuku nu Hebron. (Siti se inge musaiyukyak yac itkosr meet liki Zoan in acn Egypt.) In acn Hebron elos liye sou lulap tolu lun Ahiman, Sheshai, ac Talmai, ma ke sou lun mwet na lulap pisa pangpang mwet Anak.
23 And they entered as far as the ravine of Eschol, and cut down, from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and bare it on a pole between two, —also of the pomegranates and of the figs.
Elos tuku nu Infahlfal Eshcol, ac pakela lah se su ungin grape na toasr se oan kac. Ke sripen arulana toasr, enenu mwet luo in polongya us ke soko srenenu. Elos oayapa us kutu pomegranate ac fig. (
24 That place, was called, The Ravine of Eschol ["Cluster-ravine"]—on account of the cluster, which was cut down from thence by the sons of Israel.
Elos sang inen acn sac Infahlfal Eshcol ke sripen ungin grape se mwet Israel pakela we.)
25 And they returned from spying out the land, —at the end of forty days.
Tukun elos forfor ac oru kalngeyuk lalos in acn sac ke len angngaul, na elos folokla
26 So they took their journey, and came in unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel into the wilderness of Paran, towards Kadesh, —and brought back word—unto them and unto all the assembly, and showed them the fruit of the land.
nu yorol Moses, Aaron, ac sruf nukewa lun Israel in acn Kadesh ke yen mwesis lun Paran. Elos srumun ma elos liye ac sang nu sin mwet uh fokinsak ma elos us tuku.
27 And they recounted unto him, and said, We entered into the land whither thou didst send us, and surely it doth flow with milk and honey, and, this, is the fruit thereof.
Elos fahk nu sel Moses, “Kut som tuni facl sac ac konauk lah acn na mut ac kasrup fohk we. Pa inge kutu fokinsak we.
28 Nevertheless surely mighty, are the people that dwell in the land, —and, the cities, walled in, exceeding great, moreover also, the descendants of the Anak, saw we there.
Tusruktu mwet ma muta we mwet na fokoko, ac siti selos uh arulana yohk ac potiyukyak ku. Sayen ma inge, kut tuh liye kutu koht we, ma ke fwilin tulik natul Anak.
29 Amalek, dwelleth in the land of the South; And, the Hittite, and the Jebusite and the Amorite, dwell in the mountain And the Canaanite, dwelleth by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.
Mwet Amalek elos muta layen eir ke acn we. Mwet Hit, mwet Jebus, ac mwet Amor muta fineol uh, ac mwet Canaan muta sisken Meoa Mediterranean ac sisken Infacl Jordan.”
30 And Caleb stilled the people unto Moses, —and said unto them—Let us go straight up, and possess it, for we shall, surely prevail, against it.
Caleb el akmisyela mwet su lainul Moses, ac fahk, “Kut som ingena ac eisla acn we. Kut ku in kutangulosla.”
31 But the men who went up with him said, We cannot go up against the people, —for stronger, are they than we.
A mwet ma welul Caleb som elos fahk, “Mo, kut tia ku in lainulos, mweyen mwet we uh arulana ku liki kut.”
32 So they sent forth a rumour of the land which they had spied out, among the sons of Israel, saying, —As touching the land through which we passed to spy it out, it is, land that eateth up them who dwell therein, And all the people that we saw in the midst thereof, were men of great stature.
Ouinge elos srumunelik kas sutuu ke acn se elos kalngeyuk we inmasrlon mwet Israel. Elos fahk mu, “Fokin acn we tia fal in sang kite mwet we. Mwet nukewa kut liye we mwet na loeska,
33 And, there, saw we the giants, sons of Anak [descended] of the giants, —And we were in our own eyes, as grass-hoppers, And, so, were we in their eyes.
ac kut liye pac kutu mwet na lulap pisa we, pangpang Nephilim, su papa matu tumun mwet Anak. Ke kut liyalos kut oana koht srisrik sohksok uh nu selos.”
