Numbers 13
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
“Soma akwansrafo na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so; asase a mede rema Israelfo no. Soma mmusuakuw dumien no mu biara ntuanoni.”
3 And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
Enti Mose yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no. Ɔsomaa mmarima dumien a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmusuakuw ntuanofo fi wɔn atenae wɔ Paran sare so.
4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
Saa mmusuakuw no ne wɔn mpanyimfo no din na edidi so yi: Ruben abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Sakur babarima Samua;
5 Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
Simeon abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Hori babarima Safat;
6 Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
Gad abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Maki babarima Geuel.
16 These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
Nnipa yi na Mose somaa wɔn ma wɔkɔsraa Kanaan asase no. Mose na ɔmaa Nun ba Hosea din Yosua.
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way southward, and go up to the mountain:
Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔ atifi fam wɔ Negeb bepɔw no so.
18 And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, few or many;
Monhwɛ sɛnea ɛhɔ asase no te; na monhwɛ wɔn a wɔte hɔ no nso tebea sɛ wɔwɔ ahoɔden anaa wɔyɛ mmerɛw, sɛ wɔdɔɔso anaa wosua.
19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it is good or bad; and what cities they are that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
Asasesu bɛn na wɔte so? Eye anaasɛ enye? Nkurowsu bɛn na wɔtete mu? Ɛdeda hɔ petee anaasɛ afasu wowɔ ho?
20 And what the land is, whether it is rich or barren, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
Dɔte no te dɛn? Srade wɔ mu anaasɛ ɛyɛ kwaboo? Nnua wɔ so anaasɛ nnua nni so? Mommɔ mmɔden na momfa ɛhɔ nnɔbae no bi mmra.” Saa bere no na wɔretew bobe aba kan.
21 So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
Enti wɔkɔsraa asase no fi Sin sare so kosii Rehob a ɛbɛn Hamat no.
22 And they went up by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
Wɔfaa atifi fam kɔfaa Negeb beduu Hebron. Ɛhɔ na wohuu Anak asefo a wɔfrɛ wɔn Ahiman, Sesai ne Talmai. Hebron yɛ kurow dedaw. Wɔkyekyeree saa kurow no mfe ason ansa na wɔrekyekyere Soan a ɛwɔ Misraim no.
23 And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Woduu Eskol bon mu no, wotwaa mman a bobe kasiaw wɔ so. Mmarima baanu na wɔworaa no dua soa kaa borɔdɔma aba ho de kɔe.
24 The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from there.
Saa bere no, Israelfo no too subon hɔ din sɛ “Eskol bon mu” a nkyerɛase ne “Kasiaw,” efisɛ wohuu bobe kasiaw pii wɔ hɔ.
25 And they returned from searching the land after forty days.
Adaduanan akyi no, wofii wɔn akwansra no mu bae.
26 And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
Wɔkaa nea wokohui nyinaa kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Paran sare so wɔ Kades na wɔde aduaba a wɔde bae no kyerɛe.
27 And they told him, and said, We came to the land where thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Asɛm a wɔbɛkae ne sɛ, “Yeduu asase a wosomaa yɛn sɛ yɛnkɔsra so no so, na ɛwo ne nufusu sen wɔ so ampa! Ɛso aduaba a yɛde bae ni.
28 Nevertheless the people are strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
Nanso na nnipa a wɔtete hɔ no yɛ den. Wɔn nkurow no soso na wɔabɔ ho ban nso. Yehuu Anak asefo wɔ hɔ mpo.
29 The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the banks of the Jordan.
Amalekfo te anafo na Hetifo, Yebusifo ne Amorifo nso tete mmepɔw so. Na Kanaanfo nso tete Ntam Po no ne Yordan subon ho.”
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Na Kaleb bɔɔ nnipa no ano wɔ Mose anim kae se, “Momma yɛmforo nkɔ hɔ prɛko pɛ na yɛnkɔfa asase no, efisɛ yebetumi adi wɔn so nkonim.”
31 But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
Nanso mmarima a wɔne no kɔe no kae se, “Yɛrentumi nkɔtoa saa nnipa yi; wɔn ho yɛ den sen yɛn.”
32 And they brought an bad report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have passed to search it, is a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
Na wɔde asɛm a ɛmma akomatɔyam fa asase a wɔkɔsraa so no ho tene faa Israelfo no mu nyinaa. Wose, “Asase a yɛkɔsraa so no sofo no yɛ awudifo nkutoo. Nnipa a yehuu wɔn wɔ hɔ no yɛ abran.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Yehuu Anakfo no bi a efi awo ntoatoaso mu wɔyɛ abran no. Sɛ yɛne wɔn gyina hɔ a, na yɛayɛ te sɛ nketekre wɔ yɛn ani so. Na saa ara nso na yɛyɛɛ wɔ wɔn ani so.”
