Numbers 13
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 'Send for thee men, and they spy the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man, one man for the tribe of his fathers ye do send, every one a prince among them.'
“Tuma anthu kuti akazonde dziko la Kanaani limene ndikupereka kwa Aisraeli. Kuchokera pa fuko lililonse utume munthu mmodzi amene ndi mtsogoleri wawo.”
3 And Moses sendeth them from the wilderness of Paran by the command of Jehovah; all of them [are] men, heads of the sons of Israel they are,
Monga mwa mawu a Yehova, Mose anawatuma kuchokera ku chipululu cha Parani. Onsewo anali atsogoleri a Aisraeli.

16 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land; and Moses calleth Hoshea son of Nun, Jehoshua.
Amenewa ndiwo mayina a anthu amene Mose anawatuma kukazonda dzikolo. (Hoseya mwana wa Nuni, Mose anamupatsa dzina loti Yoswa).
17 And Moses sendeth them to spy the land of Canaan, and saith unto them, 'Go ye up this [way] into the south, and ye have gone up the mountain,
Mose atawatuma kuti akazonde Kanaani anati, “Mupite kudzera ku Negevi, mukapitirire mpaka ku dziko la mapiri.
18 and have seen the land what it [is], and the people which is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble; whether it [is] few or many;
Mukaone dzikolo kuti ndi lotani ndi anthu okhala mʼmenemo ngati ndi amphamvu kapena ofowoka, ochepa kapena ambiri.
19 and what the land [is] in which it is dwelling, whether it [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses;
Nanga dziko limene akukhalako ndi lotani? Ndi labwino kapena loyipa? Mizinda imene akukhalamo ndi yotani? Kodi ilibe malinga kapena ndi ya malinga?
20 And what the land [is], whether it [is] fat or lean; whether there is wood in it or not; and ye have strengthened yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land;' and the days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes.
Nthaka yake ndi yotani? Yachonde kapena yopanda chonde? Kodi dzikolo lili ndi mitengo kapena lilibe mitengo? Mukayesetse kubweretsako zipatso za mʼdzikomo.” (Inali nthawi yamphesa zoyamba kupsa).
21 And they go up and spy the land, from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the going in to Hamath;
Choncho anapita kukazonda dzikolo kuchokera ku chipululu cha Zini mpaka ku Rehobu, mopenyana ndi Lebo Hamati.
22 and they go up by the south, and come in unto Hebron, and there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt),
Anapita kudzera ku Negevi ndi kukafika ku Hebroni, kumene Ahimani, Sesai ndi Talimai, ana a Anaki ankakhala. (Anamanga Hebroni zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri asanamange Zowani ku Igupto).
23 and they come in unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down thence a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they bear it on a staff by two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Atafika ku chigwa cha Esikolo, anadulako nthambi ya mpesa ya phava limodzi la mphesa ndipo anthu awiri ananyamulizana, natenganso makangadza ndi nkhuyu.
24 That place hath [one] called Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from thence.
Malo amenewo anawatcha chigwa cha Esikolo chifukwa cha phava la mphesa limene Aisraeli anadula kumeneko.
25 And they turn back from spying the land at the end of forty days.
Patapita masiku makumi anayi, anthu aja anabwerako kokazonda dziko lija.
26 And they go and come in unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company of the sons of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the company back word, and shew them the fruit of the land.
Ndipo atabwerako anapita kwa Mose ndi Aaroni ndi kwa Aisraeli onse ku Kadesi mʼchipululu cha Parani. Kumeneko anafotokozera anthu onse nawaonetsanso zipatso za mʼdzikolo.
27 And they recount to him, and say, 'We came in unto the land whither thou hast sent us, and also it [is] flowing with milk and honey — and this [is] its fruit;
Anthuwo anafotokozera Mose kuti, “Tinapita ku dziko komwe munatituma. Dzikolo ndi loyenda mkaka ndi uchi ndipo zipatso zake ndi izi.
28 only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is] strong; and the cities are fenced, very great; and also children of Anak we have seen there.
Koma anthu amene amakhala mʼdzikomo ndi amphamvu, mizinda yawo ndi ya malinga aakulu kwambiri. Tinaonanso Aanaki kumeneko.
29 Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite is dwelling in the hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by the side of the Jordan.'
Aamaleki amakhala ku Negevi, Ahiti, Ayebusi ndi Aamori amakhala mʼdziko la mapiri ndipo Akanaani amakhala pafupi ndi nyanja, mʼmbali mwa Yorodani.”
30 And Caleb stilleth the people concerning Moses, and saith, 'Let us certainly go up — and we have possessed it; for we are thoroughly able for it.'
Koma Kalebe anawakhalitsa chete anthuwo pamaso pa Mose, ndipo anati, “Tiyeni tipite ndithu ndi kutenga dzikolo, pakuti tingathe kulitenga.”
31 And the men who have gone up with him said, 'We are not able to go up against the people, for it [is] stronger than we;'
Koma anthu aja amene anapita naye anati, “Sitingathe kulimbana ndi anthuwo popeza ndi amphamvu kuposa ifeyo.”
32 and they bring out an evil account of the land which they have spied unto the sons of Israel, saying, 'The land into which we passed over to spy it, is a land eating up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of stature;
Choncho anthuwo anafalitsa pakati pa Aisraeli mbiri yoyipa ya dziko lomwe anakalionalo. Iwo anati, “Dziko limene tinapita kukalizonda limawononga anthu okhala mʼmenemo. Ndipo anthu onse amene tinakawaona kumeneko ndi ataliatali.
33 and there we saw the Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the Nephilim; and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we were in their eyes.'
Kumeneko tinaona Anefili (ana a Aanaki ochokera kwa Nefili). Ifeyo timangodziona ngati ziwala mʼmaso mwawo, ndipo kwa iwo timaonekadi motero ndithu.”
