These [are] the names of the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land; and Moses calleth Hoshea son of Nun, Jehoshua.
17 Mose dɔ wo ɖa, eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miyi anyigba la ƒe anyigbeme lɔƒo, le Negeb ƒe tonyigba la dzi,
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,
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 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;
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] 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;
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 [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.
21 Ale wotsa ŋku le anyigba la dzi tso keke Zin gbegbe la va ɖo Rehob, le Hamat gbɔ.
And they go up and spy the land, from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob at the going in 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 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),
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 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.
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 hath [one] called Brook of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from thence.
25 Le ŋkeke blaene megbe la, wotrɔ gbɔ.
And they turn back from spying the land at the end of 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 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.
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 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;
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, 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.
29 Amalekitɔwo le gbegbe le dziehe gome, ke Hititɔwo, Yebusitɔwo kple Amoritɔwo ya le togbɛwo dzi, eye Kanaantɔwo le atsiaƒu kple Yɔdan to.”
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.'
30 Tete Kaleb tsi nya ɖe ameawo nu le Mose ŋkume, eye wògblɔ be, “Mina míayi aɖaxɔ anyigba la, elabena míate ŋui xoxoxo.”
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.'
31 Ŋkutsala bubuawo gblɔ be, “Miate ŋu aɖadze wo dzi o, elabena wosesẽ wu mi.”
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;'
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 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;
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 Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the Nephilim; and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we were in their eyes.'
