Numbers 13
1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
BAWIPA ni Mosi hah a pato teh,
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.”
Isarelnaw koe ka poe e Kanaan ram tuet sak hanlah, tami patoun leih. Miphun tangkuem kahrawikungnaw thung hoi tami buet touh rip na tha han atipouh.
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.
Hatdawkvah, Mosi ni Paran kahrawngum hoi BAWIPA kâpoe e patetlah a patoun. Abuemlahoi Isarel catoun kahrawikungnaw doeh.
4 These were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;

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.
Hetnaw heh ram tuet sak hanelah Mosi ni a patoun e naw doeh. Nun capa Hosi teh Mosi ni Joshua telah a kaw.
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.
Hot patetlah Mosi ni Kanaan ram tuet hanelah ahnimouh teh a patoun. Ahnimouh koe akalae lam dawk hoi hmaloe cet awh nateh, mon dawk luen awh.
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.
Ram teh bangtelah vaimoe. Haw e kho ka sak e taminaw hah a thasai awh maw, a thayoun awh maw, tami a pap maw ayoun maw tie hoi,
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?
a onae ram teh kahawi na ou, a onae kho teh bangpatet lae na vaimoe. Rim na ou, rapanim kaawm na ou.
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.
Ram teh ka tawnta na ou, ka takang awh na ou, ratu na ou. Tarankahawilah awm awh nateh, ram dawk e a paw phawt awh telah atipouh. Hote tueng teh misur paw a hminnae tueng hoi a kâvoe.
21 So the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo Hamath.
Hottelah a kamthaw awh teh, a takhang awh. Ram teh Zin kahrawngum hoi Hamath kâennae Rehob totouh, Kanaan ram koung a tuet awh.
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.
Akalah hoi hmaloe a takhang awh teh Hebron vah a pha awh. Hawvah Anakim catounnaw, Ahiman Sheshai hoi Talmai taminaw ao awh. ( Hebron teh Izip ram hoi Zoan kho thawng hoehnahlan kum sari nah thawng e kho lah a o).
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.
Hahoi Eshkol tanghling dawk a pha awh. Haw e misur paw hah abawm khuehoi a bouk awh teh, tami kahni touh ni a kâkayawt awh. Tale paw hoi thaibunglung paw hai a thokhai awh.
24 That place was named the Valley of Eshkol, because of the grape cluster that the people of Israel cut down there.
Haw e misur bawm Isarelnaw ni a bouk pouh dawkvah, hote hmuen teh Eshkol tanghling ati awh.
25 After forty days, they returned from examining the land.
Hnin 40 hnukkhu, Kanaan ram tuetnae koehoi a ban awh.
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.
Hot patetlah Paran kahrawng dawk Kadesh vah Mosi hoi Aron hoi a taminaw pueng koe bout a pha awh. Ahnimouh ni tamimaya koe lawk a thokhai awh. Hot ram hoi e a pawnaw hah a patue awh.
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.
Hahoi ahnimouh ni ahnimouh koe, na patounnae ram dawkvah ka cei awh teh, sanutui hoi khoitui a lawngnae tangngak doeh, hetheh haw e ram dawk e a pawnaw doeh.
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.
Hatei, hote ram dawk khokasaknaw teh tami a thasai seng doeh. Khonaw hai rapan ka tawn e khopui seng doeh. Hothloilah Anakim catounnaw ka hmu awh.
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.”
Amaleknaw akalah ao awh teh, Hitnaw hoi Jebusitnaw, Amornaw monrui dawk ao awh. Hahoi Kanaannaw teh talî tengpam, Jordan palang rayawk lah ao awh telah a dei pouh awh.
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.”
Hottelah, Kalep ni Mosi hmalah taminaw pueng sairasuep lah ao sak teh, pâtam vaiteh lat awh sei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tâ awh roeroe han telah a ti.
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.”
Hatei, ahni hoi rei kacetnaw ni, hotnaw tuk hanlah ka cet thai awh mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimouh hlak a thasai awh telah ati awh.
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.
Hottelah a tuet awh e ram kong teh Isarel catounnaw koe kamthang mathout lah a pathang awh, ramnaw pueng tuet hanelah ka cei awh navah, amamae a canaw patenghai a thei awh, ka hmu awh e naw teh a rasangpoung awh, a thasai seng doeh.
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.”
Hahoi hete hmuen koevah Anakim catoun kalenpoungnaw ka hmu awh. Kaimanaw teh samtong patetlah doeh ka o awh ati awh.
