Numbers 13
1 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
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.”
“Akka isaan dhaqanii biyya Kanaʼaan ishee ani Israaʼelootaaf kennuuf jiru sana basaasaniif namoota ergi. Tokkoo tokkoo abbootii gosaa keessaa hoogganaa tokko ergi.”
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.
Museen ajaja Waaqayyootiin Gammoojjii Phaaraan keessaa isaan erge. Hundi isaanii hooggantoota Israaʼelootaa turan.
4 These were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur;
Maqaan isaanii kanneenii dha: Gosa Ruubeen keessaa Shamuuʼaa ilma Zakuur;
5 from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori;
gosa Simiʼoon keessaa Shaafaaxi ilma Hoorii;
6 from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
gosa Yihuudaa keessaa Kaaleb ilma Yefunee;
7 from the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph;
gosa Yisaakor keessaa Yigiʼaal ilma Yoosef;
8 from the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun;
gosa Efreem keessaa Hoosheeʼaa ilma Nuuni;
9 from the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu;
gosa Beniyaam keessaa Phaaltii ilma Raaphuu;
10 from the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi;
gosa Zebuuloon keessaa Gadiiʼeel ilma Soodii;
11 from the tribe of Joseph (that is to say, from the tribe Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi;
gosa Minaasee jechuunis gosa Yoosef keessaa Gadii ilma Suus;
12 from the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli;
gosa Daan keessaa Amiiʼeel ilma Gemaal;
13 from the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael;
gosa Aasheer keessaa Sexuur ilma Miikaaʼel;
14 from the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi;
gosa Niftaalem keessaa Naahibii ilma Wofsii;
15 from the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Maki.
gosa Gaad keessaa Geʼuuʼeel ilma Maakii ti.
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.
Egaa maqaawwan kunneen maqaawwan namoota akka isaan biyya sana basaasaniif jedhee Museen ergee dha. Museenis Hoosheeʼaa ilma Nuuni sana, “Iyyaasuu” jedhee moggaase.
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.
Museen yommuu akka isaan biyya Kanaʼaanii basaasaniif isaan ergetti akkana jedheen; “Karaa Negeeb darbaatii gara biyya gaaraatti ol baʼaa.
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.
Biyyi sun maal akka fakkaattu, namoonni achi jiraatanis jajjaboo yookaan dadhaboo, muraasa yookaan hedduu taʼuu isaanii ilaalaa.
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?
Isaan biyya akkamii keessa jiraatu? Gaarii yookaan gadhee? Magaalaawwan akkamii keessa jiraatu? Dallaa dhagaa hin qaban moo daʼoo jabaa qabu?
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.
Lafti isaa gabbataa dha moo gabbataa miti? Muka qaba moo hin qabu. Jabaadhaatii ija biyyattii keessaa muraasa fidaa.” Waqtiin sun yeroo iji wayinii kan jalqabaa itti bilchaatu ture.
21 So the men went up and examined the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, near Lebo Hamath.
Isaan ol baʼanii Gammoojjii Siin irraa jalqabanii hamma Rehoobitti gara Leeboo Hamaatitti biyyattii basaasan.
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.
Isaanis karaa Negeeb ol baʼanii gara Kebroon lafa Ahiiman, Sheeshaayii fi Talmaayi ilmaan Anaaq sun jiraataniitti dhufan. Kebroon kunis utuu Zooʼaan isheen biyya Gibxi sun hin ijaaramin waggaa torbaan dura ijaaramte.
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.
Isaanis yommuu Sulula Eshkool gaʼanitti hurbuu ija wayinii tokko kutan. Wayinii sanas roomaanii fi harbuu wajjin nama lama taʼanii danqaraadhaan baatan.
24 That place was named the Valley of Eshkol, because of the grape cluster that the people of Israel cut down there.
Iddoon sun sababii hurbuu ija wayinii kan warri Israaʼel kutan sanaatiif Sulula Eshkool jedhame.
25 After forty days, they returned from examining the land.
Jarris dhuma bultii afurtamaatti biyya sana basaasanii deebiʼan.
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.
Isaanis gara Qaadesh ishee Gammoojjii Phaaraan keessaa gara Musee fi Aroon, gara waldaa Israaʼel guutuu deebiʼanii dhufan. Achittis gabaasa isaaniif dhiʼeessan; ija biyyattiis isaan argisiisan.
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.
Isaanis akkana jedhanii Museetti himan: “Nu gara biyya ati itti nu ergite sanaa dhaqneerra; biyyattiin aannanii fi damma baafti! Iji ishees kunoo kana.
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.
Garuu namoonni achi jiraatan jajjaboo dha; magaalaawwan ishee dallaa jabaa qabu; gurguddaa dhas. Nu sanyii Anaaq iyyuu achitti argineerra.
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.”
Amaaleqoonni Negeeb keessa jiraatu; Heetonni, Yebuusonnii fi Amooronni biyya gaaraa keessa jiraatu; Kanaʼaanonni immoo galaana biraa fi qarqara Yordaanos jiraatu.”
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.”
Kaalebis fuula Musee duratti saba calʼisiisee, “Nu dafnee ol baanee biyyattii haa dhaallu; moʼachuu ni dandeenyaatii” jedhe.
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.”
Namoonni isa wajjin ol baʼanii turan garuu, “Nu warra sana dhaʼuu hin dandeenyu; isaan nurra jajjaboo dha” jedhan.
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.
Isaanis waaʼee biyya basaasan sanaa saba Israaʼel gidduutti oduu gadhee tamsaasan. Akkanas jedhan; “Biyyi nu basaasne sun biyya warra ishee keessa jiraatu iyyuu nyaattuu dha. Namoonni nu achitti argine hundinuu dhedheeroo dha.
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.”
Achitti Nefiiliimota argine; ilmaan Anaaq Nefiiliimota irraa dhufan. Nu ofuma keenyatti iyyuu korophisa fakkaanne; fuula isaanii durattis akkasuma taane.”
