And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ziga ụfọdụ ndị ikom ka ha gaa legharịa anya nʼala Kenan, ala ahụ m na-enye Izrel. Ziga mmadụ iri na abụọ, otu onyendu site nʼebo Izrel ọbụla.”
Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
3 Ya mere, dịka iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere ya si dị, Mosis zipụrụ ha site nʼọzara Paran. Ha niile bụ ndị ndu nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel.

16 Ndị a bụ aha ndị ikom ndị ahụ Mosis zipụrụ inyocha ala ahụ. (Ọ bụ nʼoge a ka Mosis gbanwere aha Hoshea nwa Nun, ka ọ bụrụ Joshua.)
These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to explore the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
17 Mosis zipụrụ ha ịga ledoo ala Kenan, ọ sịrị, “Gbagoonụ site nʼụzọ Negev gakwanụ nʼala ugwu ugwu.
And Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go ye up this [way] southward, and ascend the mountain:
18 Letanụ otu ala ahụ dị. Chọpụtanụ ụdị ndị bi nʼime ya, ma ha dị ike ma ha bụ ndị na-adịghị ike, ma ha dị ọtụtụ ma ha dị ole na ole.
And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that dwell therein, whether they [are] strong or weak, few or many;
19 Letanụ ụdị ala ha bi nʼime ya, ma ọ dị mma ma ọ jọrọ njọ. Chọpụtanụ ụdị obodo dị nʼebe ahụ, ma ha bụ obodo mgbidi na-adịghị gburugburu ha, ma ha bụ obodo e wusiri ike.
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 tents, or in strong holds;
20 Letanụ otu ala ahụ dị. Ọ na-epupụta ihe ka ọ bụ ala ụkpa? Letanụ ma ha nwere ọtụtụ osisi ka ọ bụ na osisi adịghị nʼime ya. Gbalịanụ ka unu weta ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ osisi dị nʼala ahụ.” (Ọ bụ oge mkpụrụ mbụ nke osisi vaịnị.)
And what the land [is], whether it [is] fertile or barren, 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 Ya mere ndị a gara ledoo ala ahụ anya site nʼọzara Zin ruo na Rehob, nke dị nso na Lebo Hamat.
So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin to Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
22 Ha gara site na Negev rute Hebrọn, ebe Ahiman na Sheshai na Talmai, ụmụ ụmụ Anak bi. (Ma ewuru Hebrọn afọ asaa tupu e wuo obodo Zoan dị nʼIjipt.)
And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
23 Mgbe ha rutere Ndagwurugwu Eshkọl, ha gbutere otu alaka osisi vaịnị nke nwere ụyọkọ mkpụrụ vaịnị. Mmadụ abụọ butere ya nʼosisi tinyere ụfọdụ mkpụrụ osisi pomegranet na fiig.
And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between two upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
24 A kpọrọ ebe ahụ Ndagwurugwu Eshkọl, nʼihi ụyọkọ mkpụrụ osisi vaịnị ndị Izrel gbutere nʼebe ahụ.
The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
25 Mgbe iri abalị anọ gasịrị, ndị nledo a sitere nʼije ha lọghachi.
And they returned from exploring the land after forty days.
26 Ha lọtara bịakwute Mosis na Erọn na nzukọ niile nke ụmụ Izrel, na Kadesh nke dị nʼọzara Paran. Ndị nledo ahụ kọrọ akụkọ otu ha si gaa nʼọgbakọ ụmụ Izrel niile. Gosikwa mkpụrụ osisi si nʼala ahụ.
And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children 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 Nke a bụ akụkọ ha kọọrọ Mosis, “Anyị ruru nʼala ahụ ị sị anyị gaa leta. Ọ bụkwa ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya. Ndị a bụ mkpụrụ osisi si nʼala ahụ.
And they told him, and said, We came to the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is] the fruit of it.
28 Ma ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ siri ike. Obodo ha buru ibu bụrụkwa nke e wusiri ike. Anyị hụkwara ụmụ ụmụ Anak nʼebe ahụ.
Nevertheless, the people [are] strong that dwell in the land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover, we saw the children of Anak there.
29 Ndị Amalek bi na Negev, ndị Het na ndị Jebus na ndị Amọrait bi nʼala ugwu ugwu. Ma nʼakụkụ osimiri Mediterenịan na ndagwurugwu mmiri Jọdan ka ndị Kenan bi.”
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
30 Ma Kaleb kwuru okwu mere ka obi sie ndị Izrel ike nʼoge a ha guzoro nʼihu Mosis sị ha, “Ka anyị gaanụ otu ihu nweta ala ahụ. Nʼihi na anyị nwere ike imeri ha.”
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 Ma ndị nledo ahụ soro ya gaa zara sị, “Anyị enweghị ike ibu agha megide ndị a; ha dị ike karịa anyị.”
But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.
32 Ndị a gbasara akụkọ ọjọọ nʼetiti ụmụ Izrel banyere ala ahụ ha gara ledoo. Ha sịrị, “Ala ahụ anyị gara ledoo anya bụ ala na-eripịa ndị bi nʼime ya. Ndị niile anyị hụrụ nʼebe ahụ gbara nnọọ dimkpa
And they brought an evil report of the land which they had searched to the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we have passed to search it, [is] a land that eateth up its inhabitants; and all the people that we saw in it, [are] men of a great stature.
33 Anyị hụrụ ndị Nefilim nʼebe ahụ (ndị bụ ụmụ ụmụ Anak, ndị sitere na ndị Nefilim). Nʼanya anyị, anyị dịka ụkpana nʼebe ha nọ, otu a ka anyị dịkwa nʼanya ha.”
And there we saw 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.
