Numbers 13
1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2 “Send some men to examine the land of Canaan, which I have given to the people of Israel. Send a man from every tribe of their ancestors. Each man must be a leader among them.”
kai mah Israel kaminawk khaeah paek ih Kanaan prae khet hanah kami to patoeh ah; acaeng maeto thung hoi zaehoikung maeto patoeh ah, tiah a naa.
3 Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, so that they might obey Yahweh's command. All of them were leaders among the people of Israel.
Angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah Paran praezaek hoiah nihcae to patoeh; nihcae loe Israel zaehoikung ah oh o boih.
4 These were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
To kaminawk ih ahmin loe, Reuben acaeng thung hoiah, Zakur capa Shammua.
5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
Simeon acaeng thung hoiah, Hori capa Shaphat.

10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
Zebulun acaeng thung hoiah, Sodi capa Gaddiel.
11 from the tribe of Joseph (that is to say, from the tribe Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
Joseph acaeng ah kaom, Mannaseh acaeng thung hoiah, Susi capa Gaddi.
12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;

Naphtali acaeng thung hoiah, Vophsi capa Nahbi.
15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.
Gad acaeng thung hoiah, Maki capa Geuel.
16 These were the names of the men whom Moses sent to examine the land. Moses called Hoshea son of Nun by the name of Joshua.
Hae kaminawk loe Mosi mah tamquta hoi prae khet han patoeh ih kami ah oh o. Mosi mah Nun capa Oshea to Jehoshua, tiah ahmin paek.
17 Moses sent them to examine the land of Canaan. He said to them, “Approach from the Negev and go up into the hill country.
Kanaan prae khet hanah Mosi mah nihcae to patoeh naah, aloih bang hoiah caeh o tahang ah loe, mae ah daw o tahang poe ah, tiah a naa.
18 Examine the land to see what it is like. Observe the people who live there, whether they are strong or weak, and whether they are few or many.
Prae loe kawbang maw oh; to ah kaom prae kaminawk loe thacak o maw, thacak o ai, kami pop o maw, pop o ai;
19 See what the land is like where they live. Is it good or bad? What cities are there? Are they like camps, or are they fortified cities?
nihcae ohhaih prae loe hoih maw, hoih ai; kawbaktih vangpui thungah maw oh o; buk thungah maw, to tih ai boeh loe sipae kaom vangpui thungah;
20 See what the land is like, whether it is good for growing crops or not, and whether there are trees there or not. Be brave and bring back samples of the land's produce.” Now the time was the season for the first ripe grapes.
long loe kawbang maw oh, long loe hoih maw, hoih ai; thing pop maw, pop ai, tito khen oh; misahoih oh loe, prae thung ih thingthai doeh sin oh, tiah a naa. To nathuem ih atue loe misurthaih hmin tangsuekhaih atue ah oh.
21 So the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo Hamath.
To pongah nihcae loe Zin praezaek hoiah caeh o moe, Hammath vangpui taeng ih Rehob ahmuen karoek to prae to a khet o.
22 They went up from the Negev and arrived at Hebron. Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, clans descended from Anak, were there. Now Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
Aloih bang hoiah caeh o poe moe, Anak caanawk, Ahiman, Sheshai hoi Talmai ohhaih, Hebron vangpui to a phak o. Hebron vangpui loe Izip prae ih Zoan vangpui sah ai naah saning sarihto oh boeh.
23 When they reached the Valley of Eshkol, they cut down a branch with a cluster of grapes. They carried it on a staff between two of their group. They also brought pomegranates and figs.
Eshkol ih vacong to phak o naah, misurthaih kangbom tanghang maeto pakhruk o moe, kami hnetto mah angzawn hoi; pomogranat thaih hoi thaiduet thaih doeh angzawn hoi.
24 That place was named the Valley of Eshkol, because of the grape cluster that the people of Israel cut down there.
Israel kaminawk mah to ahmuen ah kanghmat misurthaih tanghang maeto pakhruk o pongah, to ahmuen to Eshkol vacong, tiah kawk o.
25 After forty days, they returned from examining the land.
Ni qui palito pacoengah prae khethaih ahmuen hoiah amlaem o let.
26 They came back to Moses, Aaron, and all the community of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the community, and showed them the produce from the land.
Nihcae loe Mosi hoi Aaron ohhaih Paran praezaek ih Kadesh ah, Israel kaminawk khaeah angzoh o let; nihcae khaeah prae khethaih kawng to thuih pae o, kaminawk khaeah to prae thung ih thingthai to patuek o.
27 They told Moses, “We reached the land to which you sent us. It certainly flows with milk and honey. Here is some produce from it.
Mosi khaeah, Nang patoeh ih prae thungah ka caeh o, to prae loe khoitui hoi tahnutui long tangak boeh; hae loe to prae thung hoi kang sin o ih thingthai ah oh.
28 However, the people who make their homes there are strong. The cities are fortified and very large. We also saw descendants of Anak there.
Toe to prae thungah kaom kaminawk loe thacak o parai moe, vangpuinawk doeh len parai, vangpuinawk loe sipae thungh o boih; to ahmuen ah Anak ih caanawk to ka hnuk o.
29 The Amalekites live in the Negev. The Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites have their homes in the hill country. The Canaanites live by the sea and along the Jordan River.”
Amalek kaminawk loe aloih bang prae ah oh o; Hit kaminawk, Jebus kaminawk hoi Amor kaminawk loe mae nuiah oh o; Kanaan kaminawk loe tuipui taeng hoi Jordan vapui taengah oh o, tiah a thuih pae o.
30 Then Caleb silenced the people who were before Moses and said, “Let us go up and take possession of the land, for we are certainly able to conquer it.”
Kaleb mah Mosi hmaa ah kaminawk to anghaisak moe, Caeh o si loe, to prae to la o si; a pazawk o thai tih hmang, tiah a naa.
31 But the other men who had gone with him said, “We are not able to attack the people because they are stronger than we are.”
Toe anih hoi nawnto caeh kaminawk mah loe, To ih kaminawk to a pazawk o thai mak ai; nihcae loe aicae pongah thacak o kue, tiah a naa o.
32 So they spread around a discouraging report to the people of Israel about the land that they had examined. They said, “The land that we looked at is a land that eats up its inhabitants. All the people whom we saw there are people of great height.
Nihcae mah prae khethaih tamthang kasae to Israel kaminawk salakah haeh o; to kaminawk mah, Ka caeh moe, ka khet o ih prae loe, a thungah kaom kaminawk paaeh boih prae ah oh; to ah kaom ka hnuk o ih kaminawk boih loe len o phi.
33 There we saw giants, descendants of Anak, people who came from giants. In our own sight we were like grasshoppers in comparison with them, and this is what we were in their sight, too.”
To ah kalen parai kami, Anak caanawk to ka hnuk o; nihcae loe kalen parai kami hoi anghum tathuk kami ah oh o; nihcae mikhnuk ah kaicae loe pakhuh baktiah ni ka oh o; kaicae loe nihcae mikhnuk ah to tiah ka oh o, tiah a naa o.
