Mose 4 13
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose azɔ be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Dɔ ŋkutsalawo ɖe Kanaanyigba, anyigba si mele tsɔtsɔm na Israel la dzi. Dɔ kplɔla ɖeka ɖa tso to sia to me.”
Send for you men, and let them spy the land of the Chananites, which I give to the sons of Israel for a possession; one man for a tribe, you shall send them away according to their families, every one of them a prince.
3 Israelviwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Paran gbedzi ɣe ma ɣi. Mose wɔ ɖe se si Yehowa de nɛ la dzi, eye wòdɔ toawo ƒe kplɔla siawo ɖa:
And Moses sent them out of the wilderness of Pharan by the word of the Lord; all these [were] the princes of the sons of Israel.
4 Woƒe ŋkɔwoe nye: Samua, Zakur ƒe viŋutsu, tso Ruben ƒe to la me;

16 Ame siawoe Mose dɔ be woaɖatsa anyigba la me. Ɣeyiɣi sia mee (Mose trɔ Hosea ƒe ŋkɔ wòzu Yosua) si gɔmee nye “Yehowa nye Ɖeɖe.”
These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; and Moses called Ause the son of Naue, Joshua.
17 Mose dɔ wo ɖa, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miyi anyigba la ƒe anyigbeme lɔƒo, le Negeb ƒe tonyigba la dzi,
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Chanaan, and said to them, Go up by this wilderness; and you shall go up to the mountain,
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 you shall see the land, what it is, and the people that dwells on it, whether it is strong or weak, or [whether] they are few 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,
And what the land is on which they dwell, [whether] it is good or bad; and what the cities are wherein these dwell, whether they dwell in walled [cities] or unwalled.
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 rich or poor; whether there are trees in it or no: and you shall persevere and take of the fruits of the land: and the days [were] the days of spring, the forerunners of the grape.
21 Ale wotsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi tso keke Zin gbegbe la va ɖo Rehob, le Hamat gbɔ.
And they went up and surveyed the land from the wilderness of Sin to Rhoob, as men go in to Aemath.
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 went up by the wilderness, and departed as far as Chebron; and there [was] Achiman, and Sessi, and Thelami, the progeny of Enach. Now Chebron was built seven years before Tanin of 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.
And they came to the valley of the cluster and surveyed it; and they cut down thence a bough and one cluster of grapes upon it, and bore it on staves, and [they took] of the pomegranates and the figs.
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!
And they called that place, The valley of the cluster, because of the cluster which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 Le ŋkeke blaene megbe la, wotrɔ gbɔ.
And they returned from thence, having surveyed the land, after forty days.
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 proceeded and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Pharan Cades; and they brought word to them and to all the congregation, and they showed the fruit of the land:
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 reported to him, and said, We came into the land into which you sent us, a land flowing with milk and honey; and this is the fruit 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!
Only the nation that dwells upon it is bold, and they have very great and strong walled towns, and we saw there the children of Enach.
29 Amalekitɔwo le gbegbe le dziehe gome, ke Hititɔwo, Yebusitɔwo kple Amoritɔwo ya le togbɛwo dzi, eye Kanaantɔwo le atsiaƒu kple Yɔdan to.”
And Amalec dwells in the land toward the south: and the Chettite and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwells in the hill country: and the Chananite dwells by the sea, and by the river Jordan.
30 Tete Kaleb tsi nya ɖe ameawo nu le Mose ŋkume, eye wògblɔ be, “Mina míayi aɖaxɔ anyigba la, elabena míate ŋui xoxoxo.”
And Chaleb stayed the people from speaking before Moses, and said to him, Nay, but we will go up by all means, and will inherit it, for we shall surely prevail against them.
31 Ŋkutsala bubuawo gblɔ be, “Miate ŋu aɖadze wo dzi o, elabena wosesẽ wu mi.”
But the men that went up together with him said, We will not go up, for we shall not by any means be able to go up against the nation, for it is much stronger than 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.
And they brought a horror of that land which they surveyed upon the children of Israel, saying, The land which we passed by to survey it, is a land that eats up its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of extraordinary 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.”
And there we saw the giants; and we were before them as locusts, yes even so were we before them.
