And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ka aiki waɗansu mutane zuwa ƙasar Kan’ana, wadda nake ba Isra’ilawa. Daga kowace kabila, ka aiki ɗaya daga cikin shugabanninta.”
Send thou men, that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel. From every tribe of their fathers ye shall send a man, each one a ruler among them.
3 Saboda haka bisa ga umarnin Ubangiji, Musa ya aike su daga Hamadan Faran. Dukansu kuwa shugabanni ne na Isra’ilawa.

16 Waɗannan su ne sunayen mutanen da Musa ya aika su binciki ƙasar. (Sai Musa ya ba Hosheya ɗan Nun, suna Yoshuwa.)
These are the names of the men that Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun Joshua.
17 Sa’ad da Musa ya aike su domin su binciki Kan’ana ya ce, “Ku haura, ku ratsa ta Negeb har zuwa ƙasar tudu.
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Get you up this way by the South, and go up into the hill-country.
18 Ku ga yadda ƙasar take, ku ga ko mutanen da suke zama a can ƙarfafa ne, ko raunannu, ko su kima ne, ko kuma suna da yawa.
And see the land, what it is, and the people who dwell in it, whether they are strong or weak, whether they are few or many,
19 Wace irin ƙasa ce suke zama a ciki, Mai kyau ce, ko mummuna? Waɗanne irin birane ne suke zama a ciki? Suna da katanga, ko babu?
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,
20 Yaya ƙasar take? Tana da wadata, ko babu? Akwai itatuwa, ko babu? Ku yi iya ƙoƙarinku ku ɗebo daga cikin albarkar ƙasar ku kawo.” (Lokacin farkon nunan inabi ne.)
and what the land is, whether it is fat or lean, whether there is wood in it, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the first-ripe grapes.
21 Saboda haka suka haura, suka binciki ƙasar daga Hamadan Zin har zuwa Rehob, wajen Lebo Hamat.
So they went up, and spied out the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, to the entrance of Hamath.
22 Suka kuma haura ta Negeb, suka iso Hebron, inda Ahiman, da Sheshai, da Talmai, zuriyar Anak, suke zama. (An gina Hebron da shekara bakwai kafin a gina Zowan a Masar.)
And they went up by the South, and came to Hebron. And Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Da suka iso Kwarin Eshkol, sai suka yanko reshe guda na nonon inabi tare da’ya’yansa cunkus. Mutum biyu suka ɗauka shi rataye a sanda a kafaɗarsu, suka haɗa tare da rumman da kuma ɓaure.
And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it upon a staff between two, also of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 Sai aka kira wurin Kwarin Eshkol saboda nonon inabin da suka yi cunkus, wanda Isra’ilawa suka yanko a wurin.
That place was called the valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down from there.
25 A ƙarshen kwana arba’in sai suka komo daga bincikensu.
And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
26 Suka dawo wurin Musa, da Haruna, da dukan jama’ar Isra’ilawa, a Kadesh, a Hamadan Faran. A can suka ba da rahoton ga dukan taron da yake wurin, suka kuma nuna musu amfanin ƙasar.
And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought back word to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.
27 Suka ce wa Musa, “Mun je ƙasar da ka aike mu, ƙasar tana zub da madara da zuma! Ga kuma amfaninta.
And they told him, and said, We came to the land where thou sent us. And surely it flows with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it.
28 Amma fa mazaunan can ɗin ƙarfafa ne, an kuma kewaye biranen da manya-manyan katanga. Mun kuma ga zuriyar Anak a can.
However the people who dwell in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified, very great, and moreover we saw the sons of Anak there.
29 Amalekawa suna zama a Negeb; Hittiyawa, Yebusiyawa da kuma Amoriyawa, suna zama ne a ƙasar tudu. Kan’aniyawa kuma suna zama kusa da teku da kuma a bakin Urdun.”
Amalek dwells in the land of the South. And the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, dwell in the hill-country. And the Canaanite dwells by the sea, and along by the side of the Jordan.
30 Sai Kaleb ya sa mutane suka yi shiru a gaban Musa, sai ya ce, “Ya kamata mu tafi mu mallaki ƙasar, gama lalle za mu iya cinta.”
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it.
31 Amma sauran mutanen da suka je tare da shi, suka ce, “Ba za mu iya kara da mutanen nan ba; sun fi mu ƙarfi.”
But the men who went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.
32 Sai suka yaɗa labari marar kyau ga Isra’ilawa game da ƙasar da suka binciko. Suka ce, “Ƙasar da muka ratsa cikinta domin mu leƙi asirinta, tana cinye waɗanda suke zama a cikinta. Dukan mutanen da muka gani a wurin, ƙatti ne.
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had spied out to the sons of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to spy it out, is a land that eats up the inhabitants of it. And all the people that we saw in it are men of great stature.
33 Mun ga Nefilimawa a can (zuriyar Anak sun fito ne daga Nefilim). Sai muka ga kanmu kamar fāra ne kawai, haka kuwa muke a gare su.”
And we saw there the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants. And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
