Sende thou men out to search the lande of Canaan which I giue vnto the children of Israel: of euery tribe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, such as are all rulers among them.

These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spie out the lande: and Moses called ye name of Oshea the sonne of Nun, Iehoshua.
17 Mose dɔ wo ɖa, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miyi anyigba la ƒe anyigbeme lɔƒo, le Negeb ƒe tonyigba la dzi,
So Moses sent them to spie out the lande of Canaan, and said vnto them, Go vp this way toward the South, and go vp into the moutaines,
18 ne miakpɔ ale si anyigba la le. Mikpɔ ale si ame siwo le anyigba la dzi hã le, ne wonye ame sesẽwo alo ame benɔewo, ne wosɔ gbɔ alo womesɔ gbɔ o.
And consider the land what it is, and the people that dwel therein, whether they be strong or weake, either fewe or many,
19 Milé ŋku ɖe nuwo ŋu, miakpɔ ne anyigba la nyo na agblemenukuwo loo alo menyo na wo o, ne woƒe duwo lolo loo alo wole sue, ne wotu mɔ sesẽwo ɖe wo ŋu,
Also what the lande is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad: and what cities they be, that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents, or in walled townes:
20 ne anyigba la nyo alo menyo o, eye ne atiwo sɔ gbɔ le edzi loo alo womesɔ gbɔ o. Migavɔ̃ o. Mitsɔ woƒe agblemenuku, siwo miakpɔ la ƒe ɖewo vɛ.” (Wonɔ waintsetse gbãtɔwo gbem ɣe ma ɣi.)
And what the land is: whether it be fat or leane, whether there be trees therein, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruite of the lande (for then was the time of the first ripe grapes)
21 Ale wotsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi tso keke Zin gbegbe la va ɖo Rehob, le Hamat gbɔ.
So they went vp, and searched out the lande, from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, to go to Hamath,
22 Wotso afi ma ɖo ta dzigbeme lɔƒo; woto Negeb gbã, eye woyi Hebron. Wokpɔ Ahimanitɔwo, Sesaitɔwo kple Talmaitɔwo. Ame siawo katã nye Anak, ame dzɔatsu ƒe dzidzimeviwo. (Hebron nye du xoxo aɖe. Wotsoe ƒe adre do ŋgɔ na Tanis tsotso le Egipte.)
And they ascended toward the South, and came vnto Hebron, where were Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the sonnes of Anak. And Hebron was built seuen yeere before Zoan in Egypt.
23 Tso afi ma la, wova afi si woyɔna egbegbe be, Eskɔl ƒe Balime. Wotso waintsetse kpo ɖeka le afi sia wòlolo ale gbegbe be ame evee tsɔ ati de eme hafi te ŋu tsɔe! Wotsɔ yevuboɖa kple gbotsetse siwo wokpɔ le afi ma hã ƒe ɖewo ɖe asi.
Then they came to the riuer of Eshcol, and cut downe thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it vpon a barre betweene two, and brought of the pomegranates and of the figges.
24 Israelviwo na ŋkɔ Balime sia be, Eskɔl, si gɔmee nye “Kpo ɖeka” le waintsetse si wokpɔ le afi ma ƒe kpo ɖeka ƒe lolo ta!
That place was called the riuer Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes, which the children of Israel cut downe thence.
25 Le ŋkeke blaene megbe la, wotrɔ gbɔ.
Then after fourtie dayes, they turned againe from searching of the land.
26 Wogblɔ nu si wokpɔ la na Mose, Aron kple Israelviwo katã le Paran gbedzi le Kades, eye wotsɔ kutsetse siwo wotsɔ vɛ la fia wo.
And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and vnto al the Congregation of the children of Israel, in the wildernesse of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought to the, and to all the Congregation tydings, and shewed them the fruite of the lande.
27 Wona nutsotso Mose ale, “Míede anyigba si dzi mieɖo mí ɖo be míatsa ŋku le la dzi. Enye anyigba nyui aɖe ŋutɔ, anyigba si dzi notsi kple anyitsi le tsatsam le. Míetsɔ kutsetse siawo vɛ be woaɖe nya si gblɔm míele la ƒe nyateƒenyenye afia.
And they tolde him, and saide, We came vnto the land whither thou hast sent vs, and surely it floweth with milke and honie: and here is of the fruite of it.
28 Ke afi ma tɔwo nye ŋusẽtɔwo. Woƒe duwo lolo, eye woglã wo katã. Gawu la, míekpɔ Anak ƒe dzidzimeviwo gɔ̃ hã le afi ma!
Neuerthelesse the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and exceeding great: and moreouer, we sawe the sonnes of Anak there.
29 Amalekitɔwo le gbegbe le dziehe gome, ke Hititɔwo, Yebusitɔwo kple Amoritɔwo ya le togbɛwo dzi, eye Kanaantɔwo le atsiaƒu kple Yɔdan to.”
The Amalekites dwell in the South countrey, and the Hittites, and the Iebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountaines, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Iorden.
30 Tete Kaleb tsi nya ɖe ameawo nu le Mose ŋkume, eye wògblɔ be, “Mina míayi aɖaxɔ anyigba la, elabena míate ŋui xoxoxo.”
Then Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and saide, Let vs go vp at once, and possesse it: for vndoubtedly we shall ouercome it.
31 Ŋkutsala bubuawo gblɔ be, “Miate ŋu aɖadze wo dzi o, elabena wosesẽ wu mi.”
But the men, that went vp with him, saide, we be not able to goe vp against the people: for they are stronger then we.
32 Ale wokaka nutsotso gbegblẽ ɖe Israelviwo dome tso anyigba si dzi wotsa ŋku le la ŋuti. Wogblɔ na ameawo be, “Anyigba si dzi míetsa ŋku le la le edzinɔlawo mim. Ame siwo katã míekpɔ la nye ame dzɔatsuwo.
So they brought vp an euill report of the land which they had searched for the children of Israel, saying, The lande which we haue gone through to search it out, is a land that eateth vp the inhabitants thereof: for all the people that we sawe in it, are men of great stature.
33 Míekpɔ Nefilimtɔwo hã le afi ma (Anak nye Nefilimtɔwo ƒe dzidzimeviwo). Míedze le woƒe ŋkume abe abɔwo ene, eye nenema kee woawo hã kpɔ míe.”
For there we sawe gyants, the sonnes of Anak, which come of the gyants, so that we seemed in our sight like grashoppers: and so wee were in their sight.
