< Numbers 13 >

1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
OLELO mai la o Iehova ia Mose, i mai la,
2 “Send some men to Canaan [land] to explore it. That is the land that I will give to you Israelis. Send men who are leaders in their tribes.”
E hoouna aku oe i na kanaka e makaikai ai i ka aina o Kanaana, kahi a'u e haawi aku nei i na mamo a Iseraela: i hookahi kanaka o kela ohana a o keia ohana a na kupuna o lakou ka oukou e hoouna aku ai, he mau luna kela mea keia mea iwaena o lakou.
3 So Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded him/me. He/I sent out twelve Israeli men who were all leaders of their tribes. He/I sent them from their/our camp at Paran in the desert.
A ma ke kauoha a Iehova i hoouna aku ai o Mose ia lakou, mai ka waonahele o Parana aku: a o ia mau kanaka a pau, he mau luna lakou no na mamo a Iseraela.
4 These are the names of the men [and the tribes they belonged to: ] Shammua, the son of Zaccur, from the tribe of Reuben;
Eia na inoa o lakou: no ka ohana o Reubena, o Samua ke keiki a Zakura.
5 Shaphat, the son of Hori, from the tribe of Simeon;
No ka ohana a Simeona, o Sapata ke keiki a Hori.
6 Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah;
No ka ohana a Iuda, o Kaleba ke keiki a Iepune.
7 Igal, the son of Joseph, from the tribe of Issachar;
No ka ohana a Isakara, o Igala ke keiki a Iosepa.
8 Hoshea, the son of Nun, from the tribe of Ephraim;
No ka ohana a Eperaima, o Hosea ke keiki a Nuna.
9 Palti, the son of Raphu, from the tribe of Benjamin;
No ka ohana a Beniamina, o Paleti ke keiki a Rapu.
10 Gaddiel, the son of Sodi, from the tribe of Zebulun;
No ka ohana a Zebuluna, o Gadiela ke keiki a Sodi.
11 Gaddi, the son of Susi, from the tribe of Manasseh;
No ka ohana a Iosepa, ka ohana a Manase, o Gadi ke keiki a, Susi.
12 Ammiel, the son of Gemalli, from the tribe of Dan;
No ka ohana a Dana, o Amiela ke keiki a Gemali.
13 Sethur, the son of Michael, from the tribe of Asher;
No ka ohana a Asera, o Setiela ke keiki a Mikaela.
14 Nahbi, the son of Vophsi, from the tribe of Naphtali;
No ka ohana a Napetali, o Nabi ke keiki a Vopesi.
15 and Geuel, the son of Maki, from the tribe of Gad.
No ka ohana a Gada, o Geuela ke keiki a Maki.
16 Those are the names of the men whom Moses/I sent out to explore Canaan. [Before they left], Moses/I gave Hoshea a new name, Joshua, [which means ‘Yahweh is the one who saves].’
Oia na inoa o na kanaka a Mose i hoouna aku ai e makaikai i ka aina. A kapa aku la o Mose ia Hosea ke keiki a Nuna, o Iosua.
17 Before Moses/I sent them to explore Canaan, he/I said to them, “Go through the southern part of Canaan, and then go [north] into the hilly area.
Hoouna aku la o Mose ia lakou e makaikai i ka aina o Kanaana, i aku la hoi ia lakou, E haele oukou ma keia aoao kukuluhema, a e pii iluna i ka mauna.
18 See what the land is like. See if the people who live there are strong or weak. See if there are many people or only a few people.
E nana i ke ano o ka aina, a me na kanaka e noho ana ilaila, he ikaika paha lakou, he nawaliwali paha; he hapa paha lakou, he nui loa paha;
19 Find out what kind of land they live in [RHQ]. Is it good or bad? Find out about the towns in which they live [RHQ]. Do they have walls around them or not?
Me ka aina hoi a lakou e noho la, he maikai paha, he ino paha; a me na kulanakauhale a lakou e noho la, ma na halelewa paha, ma na pakaua paha;
20 Find out about the soil [RHQ]. Is it (fertile/good for growing crops) or not? Find out if there are trees there [RHQ]. Try to bring back some of the fruit that grows in that land.” [He/I said that because] it was the beginning of the time to harvest grapes.
A me ke ano o ka aina, he momona paha, he wi paha; he laau paha ilaila, aole paha: i nui hoi ka ikaika o oukou, a e lawe mai i kekahi hua o ka aina. O ka manawa ia o ka huawaina pala mua.
21 So those men went to Canaan. They went [through the entire land], from the Zin desert [in the south] all the way to Rehob [town] near Lebo-Hamath [in the north].
Pii aku la lakou a makaikai ae la i ka aina, mai ka waonahele o Zina a hiki aku i Rehoba, ma ke ala e hele aku ai i Hamata.
22 In the south, they went to Hebron, where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, [huge men] descended from Anak, lived. Hebron was a city that was built seven years before Zoan [city] was built in Egypt.
A pii aku la lakou ma ke kukulu hema, a hiki aku i Heberona, i kahi o Ahimana, o Sesai a me Talemai, na keiki a Anaka. (Ua hookumuia o Heberona ehiku makahiki mamua o Zoana i Aigupita.)
23 In one valley, they cut from a grapevine one cluster of grapes. [Because it was very large, they needed] two men to carry it on a pole. They also picked some pomegranates and some figs [to carry back to their camp].
A hele aku lakou i ke kahawai i Esekola, a old iho la i kekahi lala me ka huiwaina hookahi, a amo mai la maluna o ka mamaka mawaena o na kanaka elua, O na pomeraite kekahi a me na fiku.
24 They called that place Eshcol [which means ‘cluster’] because they had cut that [huge] cluster of grapes there.
Ua kapaia ia wahi ke kahawai o I Esekola, no ka huiwaina a na mamo a Iseraela i oki ai malaila.
25 After they explored the land for 40 days, they returned to their camp.
A hala na la he kanaha o ka makaikai ana i ka ama, hoi mai la lakou.
26 They came to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people in the desert at Paran. They reported to everyone what they had seen. They also showed them the fruit that they had brought back.
Hele mai la lakou a hiki io Mose la a me Aarona, a me ke anaina kanaka a pau o na mamo a Iseraela, i ka waonahele o Parana, i Kadesa; a hoakaka mai la lakou ia laua, a i ke anaina kanaka a pau, a hoike mai la i ka hua o ka aina.
27 But this is what they reported to Moses/me: “We arrived in the land that you sent us to explore. It is truly a beautiful land, and it is very fertile [IDM]. Here is some of the fruit.
Olelo mai la lakou ia ia, i mai la, Ua hele aku makou i ka aina au i hoouna aku ai ia makou, a he oiaio no e kahe ana ka waiu a me ka meli ilaila; eia hoi ka hua o ia wahi.
28 But the people who live there are very strong. Their cities are large and are surrounded by walls. We even saw some of the [huge] descendants of Anak there.
Aka, ua ikaika na kanaka e noho ana ma ia aina; a na paa i na papohaku na kulanakauhale, a nui loa: eia hoi kekahi, ua ike makou i na keiki a Anaka malaila.
29 The descendants of Amalek live in the southern part [of the land], and the descendants of Heth, Jebus, and Amor live in the hilly area [to the north]. The descendants of Canaan live along the coast of the [Mediterranean] sea and along the Jordan [River].”
E noho ana ka Ameleka ma ka aina kukuluhema; o ka Heta, me ka Iebusa, a me ka Amora, ua noho lakou ma na mauna; a ua noho ko Kanaana ma ka moana a ma kapa o Ioredane.
30 [When they said that, the people were afraid and started to cry out very loudly]. But Caleb told the people who were standing near Moses/me to be quiet. Then he said, “We should go there and take the land, because we are certainly able to conquer it!”
Hoomalielie iho o Kaleba i kanaka imua o Mose, i mai la, E hele koke aku kakou, a e komo i ka aina; no ka mea, e hiki pono no ia kakou ke lanakila maluna ona.
31 But the men who had gone with him said, “No, we cannot attack [and defeat] those people! They are much stronger than we are!”
Aka, i mai la na kanaka i hele pu me ia, Aole e hiki ia kakou ke hele ku e i ua poe kanaka la; no ka mea, ua oi aku ko lakou ikaika i ko kakou.
32 So those men gave to the Israeli people a bad report about the land that they had explored. They said, “The land that we explored is very large; we cannot conquer it. And all the people whom we saw are very tall.
A lawe mai la lakou i ka olelo hoino i ka aina a lakou i makaikai aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela, i mai la, O ka aina kahi a makou i kaahele ai e makaikai aku, he aina ia e hoopau ana i na kanaka e noho ana malaila: a o na kanaka a pau a makou i ike ai malaila, he poe kanaka nunui.
33 We even saw the descendants of Nephili there. The descendants of Anak [whom we saw there] are descended from the giant Nephili people. When we saw them, we felt [as small] as grasshoppers [SIM], and they thought that we looked like grasshoppers too!”
Malaila makou i ike ai i na kanaka nunui, i na keiki a Anaka, na ka poe kanaka nunui mai: ua like makou me na uhini i ko makou maka, a pela hoi makou imua o ko lakou maka.
