Numbers 13
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
त्यसपछि परमप्रभुले मोशालाई भन्नुभयो,
2 “Send men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man, every one a prince among them.”
“केही मानिसहरूलाई कनानको भूमिको जाँच गर्न पठा, जुन मैले इस्राएलका मानिसहरूलाई दिएको छु । तिनीहरूका पुर्खाका हरेक कुलबाट एक-एक जना पठा । ती हरेक तिनीहरूका अगुवा हुनुपर्छ ।”
3 Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran according to the commandment of the LORD. All of them were men who were heads of the children of Israel.
मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई पारानको मरुभूमिबाट पठाए, ताकि तिनीहरूले परमप्रभुको आज्ञा पालन गरून् । तिनीहरू सबै इस्राएलका मानिसहरूका अगुवाहरू थिए ।
4 These were their names: Of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
तिनीहरूका नाउँ यिनै हुन्ः रूबेनको कुलबाट जक्कूरका छोरा शम्मूअ;

16 These are the names of the men who Moses sent to spy out the land. Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
मोशाले भूमिको जाँच गर्न पठाएका मानिसहरूका नाउँ यिनै थिए । मोशाले नूनका छोरा होशियालाई यहोशू नाउँ राखे ।
17 Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this way by the South, and go up into the hill country.
मोशाले तिनीहरूलाई कनानको भूमि जाँचबुझ गर्न पठाए । तिनले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “नेगेवबाट प्रवेश गर र पहाडी मुलुकतिर जाओ ।
18 See the land, what it is; and the people who dwell therein, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many;
यो कस्तो छ भनी भूमिको जाँचबुझ गर ।
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 camps, or in strongholds;
त्यहाँ बस्ने मानिसहरूलाई हेर, तिनीहरू बलिया वा कमजोर छन् वा तिनीहरू धेरै छन् वा थोरै छन् ।
20 and what the land is, whether it is fertile or poor, whether there is wood therein, or not. Be courageous, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
तिनीहरू बसोबास गरेका भूमि कस्तो छ, हेर । यो असल वा खराब छ? सहरहरू कस्ता छन्? तिनीहरू छाउनी वा किल्ला भएको सहरहरूमा छन्? भूमि कस्तो छ । अन्न उमार्न असल छ वा छैन, रुखहरू छन् वा छैनन् । साहसी होओ र त्यो भूमिको उत्पादनको नमुना लिएर आओ ।” त्यस बेला पहिलो दाख पाक्ने समय थियो ।
21 So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
यसैले ती मानिसहरू गए र जीनको मरुभूमिदेखि लेबो-हमात नजिकको रेहोबसम्मको भूमिको जाँचबुझ गरे ।
22 They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
तिनीहरू नेगेवबाट उक्लेर हेब्रोनमा आइपुगे । त्यहाँ अनाकका सन्तानहरू अहीमान, शेशै र तल्मै थिए । होब्रोन मिश्रको सोअनभन्दा सात वर्ष पहिले निर्माण गरिएको थियो ।
23 They came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it on a staff between two. They also brought some of the pomegranates and figs.
जब तिनीहरू एश्कोलको बेँसीमा पुगे, तिनीहरूले दाखको झुप्पासहितको हाँगा काटे । तिनीहरूले यसलाई घोचामा राखेर दुई जनाले बोके । तिनीहरूले अनार र नेभारा पनि ल्याए ।
24 That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from there.
इस्राएलका मानिसहरूले त्यहाँ दाखको झुप्पा काटेकाले त्यस ठाउँलाई एश्कोलको बेँसी नाउँ राखियो ।
25 They returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
चालिस दिनपछि तिनीहरू भूमिको जाँचबुझ गरेर फर्के ।
26 They went and came to Moses, 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. They showed them the fruit of the land.
तिनीहरू मोशा, हारून र इस्राएलका सारा समुदायकहाँ पारानको मरुभूमिमा भएको कादेशमा फर्केर आए । तिनीहरूले तिनीहरूलाई र सारा समुदायलाई खबर ल्याए र भूमिको उत्पादन तिनीहरूलाई देखाए ।
27 They told him, and said, “We came to the land where you sent us. Surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.
तिनीहरूले मोशालाई भने, “तपाईंले पठाउनुभएको मुलुकमा हामी पुग्यौँ । यसमा साँच्चै दुध र मह बग्दोरहेछ । यसका केही उत्पादनहरू यहाँ छन् ।
28 However, the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large. Moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.
तथापि, त्यहाँ बसोबास गर्ने मानिसहरू बलिया छन् । सहरमा किल्ला हालिएका छन् र ती धेरै ठुला छन् । हामीले अनाकका सन्तानहरूलाई पनि देख्यौँ ।
29 Amalek dwells in the land of the South. The Hittite, the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country. The Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along the side of the Jordan.”
नेगेवमा अमालेकीहरू बसोसबास गर्छन् । हित्ती, यबूसी, र एमोरी पहाडी मुलुकमा बस्छन् । कनानीहरू समुद्र किनारा र यर्दन नदीको तीरमा बस्छन् ।”
30 Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, “Let’s go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it!”
अनि यहोशूले मोशाको सामु मानिसहरूलाई चुपचाप बनाए र भने, “जाऔँ र भूमिलाई कब्जा गरौँ, किनभने हामीले यसलाई निश्चय पनि जित्नेछौँ ।
31 But the men who went up with him said, “We aren’t able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.”
तर तिनीसँग गएका अरू मानिसहरूले भने, “हामीले तिनीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न सक्दैनौँ, किनभने तिनीहरू हामीभन्दा बलिया छन् ।”
32 They brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the children of Israel, saying, “The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people who we saw in it are men of great stature.
यसैले तिनीहरूले जाँचबुझ गरेका मुलुकबारे इस्राएलका मानिसहरू माझ निरुत्साहित पार्ने खबर फिँजाए । तिनीहरूले भने, “हामीले हेरेका मुलकले त आफ्नै बासिन्दाहरूलाई निल्दोरहेछ ।
33 There we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim. We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”
हामीले त्यहाँ देखेका सबै मानिस अग्ला कदका छन् । हामीले त्यहाँ दैत्यहरू अर्थात् अनाकका सन्तानहरू देख्यौँ जो दैत्यहरूबाट आएका थिए । तिनीहरूसँग तुलना गर्दा हामी हाम्रो नजरमा फट्याङ्ग्राजस्ता थियौँ ।”
