Numbers 13
1 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, na sinasabi,
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.”
Magsugo ka ng mga lalake na makakapaniktik sa lupain ng Canaan, na aking ibibigay sa mga anak ni Israel: isang lalake sa bawa't isa sa mga lipi ng kanilang mga magulang ay susuguin ninyo, na bawa't isa'y prinsipe sa kanila.
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.
At sinugo sila ni Moises mula sa ilang ng Paran ayon sa utos ng Panginoon: silang lahat ay mga lalaking pangulo sa mga anak ni Israel.
4 These are the names of the men [and the tribes they belonged to: ] Shammua, the son of Zaccur, from the tribe of Reuben;
At ito ang kanilang mga pangalan: sa lipi ni Ruben, ay si Sammua na anak ni Zaccur.
5 Shaphat, the son of Hori, from the tribe of Simeon;
Sa lipi ni Simeon, ay si Saphat na anak ni Huri.
6 Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah;
Sa lipi ni Juda, ay si Caleb na anak ni Jephone.
7 Igal, the son of Joseph, from the tribe of Issachar;
Sa lipi ni Issachar, ay si Igal na anak ni Jose.
8 Hoshea, the son of Nun, from the tribe of Ephraim;
Sa lipi ni Efraim, ay si Oseas na anak ni Nun.
9 Palti, the son of Raphu, from the tribe of Benjamin;
Sa lipi ni Benjamin, ay si Palti na anak ni Raphu.
10 Gaddiel, the son of Sodi, from the tribe of Zebulun;
Sa lipi ni Zabulon, ay si Gaddiel na anak ni Sodi.
11 Gaddi, the son of Susi, from the tribe of Manasseh;
Sa lipi ni Jose, sa makatuwid baga'y sa lipi ni Manases, ay si Gaddi na anak ni Susi.
12 Ammiel, the son of Gemalli, from the tribe of Dan;
Sa lipi ni Dan, ay si Ammiel na anak ni Gemalli.
13 Sethur, the son of Michael, from the tribe of Asher;
Sa lipi ni Aser, ay si Sethur, na anak ni Michael.
14 Nahbi, the son of Vophsi, from the tribe of Naphtali;
Sa lipi ni Nephtali, ay si Nahabi na anak ni Vapsi.
15 and Geuel, the son of Maki, from the tribe of Gad.
Sa lipi ni Gad, ay si Geuel na anak ni Machi.
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].’
Ito ang mga pangalan ng mga lalake na sinugo ni Moises upang tiktikan ang lupain. At tinawag ni Moises na Josue ang anak ni Nun na si Oseas.
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.
At sinugo sila ni Moises upang tiktikan ang lupain ng Canaan, at sinabi sa kanila, Sumampa kayo rito sa dakong Timugan at umakyat kayo sa mga bundok:
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.
At tingnan ninyo ang lupain, kung ano; at ang bayan na tumatahan doon, kung sila'y malakas o mahina, kung sila'y kaunti o marami;
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?
At kung ano ang lupain na kanilang tinatahanan, kung mabuti o masama; at kung ano ang mga bayan na kanilang tinatahanan, kung sa mga kampamento, o sa mga nakukutaan;
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.
At kung ano ang lupain, kung mataba o payat, kung mayroong kahoy o wala. At magpakatapang kayo, at magdala kayo rito ng bunga ng lupain. Ngayon ang panahon ay panahon ng mga unang hinog na ubas.
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].
Sila nga'y umakyat, at kanilang tiniktikan ang lupain mula sa ilang ng Zin hanggang sa Rehob, sa pagpasok sa Emath.
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.
At sila'y umakyat sa dakong Timugan, at sila'y dumating sa Hebron; at si Aimen, si Sesai at si Talmai, na mga anak ni Anac, ay nangaroon. (Ngayon ang Hebron ay natayong pitong taon bago ang Zoan sa Egipto).
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].
At sila'y dumating sa libis ng Escol, at sila'y pumutol doon ng isang sangang may isang kumpol na ubas, at dinala sa isang pingga ng dalawa; sila'y nagdala rin ng mga granada, at mga igos.
24 They called that place Eshcol [which means ‘cluster’] because they had cut that [huge] cluster of grapes there.
Ang dakong yaon ay tinawag na libis ng Escol, dahil sa kumpol na kinitil ng mga anak ni Israel doon.
25 After they explored the land for 40 days, they returned to their camp.
At sila'y nagbalik pagkatiktik sa lupain, sa katapusan ng apat na pung araw.
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.
At sila'y nagsiyaon at nagsiparoon kay Moises, at kay Aaron at sa buong kapisanan ng mga anak ni Israel, sa ilang ng Paran, sa Cades; at kanilang binigyang sagot sila, at ang buong kapisanan, at kanilang ipinakita sa kanila ang bunga ng lupain.
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.
At kanilang isinaysay sa kaniya, at sinabi, Kami ay dumating sa lupaing yaong pinaparoonan mo sa amin, at tunay na binubukalan ng gatas at pulot; at ito ang bunga niyaon.
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.
Gayon man ang bayan na tumitira sa lupaing yaon ay malakas, at ang mga bayan ay nakukutaan, at napakalalaki: at saka aming nakita ang mga anak ni Anac doon.
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].”
Si Amalec ay tumatahan sa lupain ng Timugan: at ang Hetheo, at ang Jebuseo, at ang Amorrheo ay tumatahan sa mga bundok: at ang Cananeo ay tumatahan sa tabi ng dagat, at sa mga pangpang ng Jordan.
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!”
At pinatahimik ni Caleb ang bayan sa harapan ni Moises, at sinabi, Ating akyating paminsan, at ating ariin; sapagka't kaya nating lupigin.
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!”
Nguni't sinabi ng mga lalaking nagsiakyat na kasama niya, Hindi tayo makaaakyat laban sa bayan; sapagka't sila'y malakas kay sa atin.
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.
At sila'y nagdala ng masamang balita tungkol sa lupaing kanilang tiniktikan, sa mga anak ni Israel, na sinasabi, Ang lupain na aming pinaroonan upang tiktikan ay isang lupain na kinakain ang mga tumatahan doon; at lahat ng bayan na aming nakita roon, ay mga taong malalaki.
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!”
At doo'y aming nakita ang mga Nefilim, ang mga anak ni Anac, na mula sa mga Nefilim: at kami sa aming sariling paningin ay naging parang mga balang, at gayon din kami sa kanilang paningin.
