< Numbers 13 >
1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
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.”
“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 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.
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 These were their names: from 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 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
6 from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
8 from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
11 from the tribe of Joseph (that is to say, from the tribe Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo 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 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.
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 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.
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 named the Valley of Eshkol, because of the grape cluster that the people of Israel cut down there.
Elos sang inen acn sac Infahlfal Eshcol ke sripen ungin grape se mwet Israel pakela we.)
25 After forty days, they returned from examining the land.
Tukun elos forfor ac oru kalngeyuk lalos in acn sac ke len angngaul, na elos folokla
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.
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 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.
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 However, the people who make their homes there are strong. The cities are fortified and very large. We also saw descendants of Anak 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 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.”
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 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.”
Caleb el akmisyela mwet su lainul Moses, ac fahk, “Kut som ingena ac eisla acn we. Kut ku in kutangulosla.”
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.”
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 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.
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 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.”
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.”
