4 Mose 13
1 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne,
The Lord told Moses,
2 Nagrama Israeli vahe'ma zamiku'ma hu'noa mopa, 12fu'a naga nofipinti magoke magoke kva vahezmi huzmantege'za oku'a vu'za Kenani mopa ome afure'za keho.
“Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, the country I'm giving to the Israelites. Choose one of the leaders from each of the tribes to go and do this.”
3 Higeno Parani ka'ma hagege mopafi mani'nafintira Mosese'a Ra Anumzamofo ke amage anteno, Israeli vahepintira kva vahezmi huzmantege'za vu'naze.
Moses did as the Lord had ordered and sent the men out from the Desert of Paran. They were all leaders of the Israelites.

16 Ama'i oku'a vu'za mopa afure'za kehogu huzmantege'za vu'naza vene'ne zamagi'e. Hianagi Nun nemofo Hoseanku, Mosese'a Josua'e huno agi'a antemi'ne.
These were the names of the men that Moses sent to explore the country. Moses called Hoshea Joshua.
17 Mosese'a Kenani mopa vu'za ome afure'za kehogu, agra anage huno huzmante'ne, Anagamu Negev mareriteta, anantetira agona moparega mareriho.
Moses sent them out to explore the land of Canaan, telling them, “Go through the Negev and on into the hill country.
18 Mopamo'a inankna hu'nefi ome negeta, ana mopafima nemaniza vahera hanave vahepi hanavezamia omne'ne vahepi, osi'a mani'nafi, rama'a vahe mani'nafi ome keho.
See what the place looks like, and find out about the people living there—are they strong or weak? Are there many of them or only a few?
19 Inankna hu'nea mopafi nemanizo, ana mopamo'a knare hu'nefi, haviza hu'nefi? Ranra kuma'zamimo'a inankna hu'ne, ruherafi'za kumara ante'za mani'nafi, hanave vihu kegina hu'nazafi keho?
Is the land where they're living good or bad? Are their towns like open camps, or do they have defensive walls?
20 Mopamo'a inankna hu'ne, masvema'ane mopafi hagege hu'ne? Anampina zafa me'nefi omane'ne? Ete eku'ma hanuta mago'a zafa raga eri'neta eho. Ana'ma huzmante'neana krepimo ese agafa huno afure'nea knafi huzmantege'za vu'naze.
Is the soil productive or not? Is it forested? Be brave, and bring back some of the country's fruit.” (It was the beginning of the grape harvest.)
21 Zini ka'ma hagege kokampi mareri'za ana mopa oku'a afu omere'za nege'za, Rehob vu'za Lebo-hamati kaziga uhanati'naze.
So the men went and explored the land all the way from the Desert of Zin to Rehob, bear Lebo-hamath.
22 Hagi Negevi mareri'za uhanatite'za, Anaki agehe'za Ahimanima, Sesai'ma, Talmai'zama hu'za, Hebroni mani'nazare vu'naze. (Hebroni kuma erifore hu'naza kna 7ni'a kafu agateretege'za, Zoan kumara Isipi'a erifore hu'naze).
They went through the Negev and arrived in Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak, lived. This town was built seven years before the Egyptian town of Zoan.
23 Anantetira Eskol agupofi uhanati'za, anampinti krepimo mago azankunate manumanu huno te'nea akafri'za, zafare taremoke zafa hutere nehu'za, mago'a pomigrenet ragane, fiki ragane eri'za e'naze.
When they arrived at the Valley of Eshcol they chopped down a branch that had just one bunch of grapes. They had to carry it on a pole held between two men. They also collected some pomegranates and figs.
24 Ana kokankura Eskol agupoe hu'za hu'naze. Na'ankure mago'pima (manu manuma huno zafa rgama re'nege'za Israeli vahe'mo'za akafri'za) eri'za e'nagu hu'naze.
(The place was named the Valley of Eshcol because of the bunch of grapes they took from there.)
25 Hagi 40'a zage gnamofo agu'afi mopa oku'a vano hu'za afure'za kete'za e'naze.
Forty days later the men returned from exploring the country.
26 Mosesene, Aronine, maka'a Israeli vahe kevune Paran ka'ma hagege mopafi, Kades mani'nage'za, Kenani mopafima me'nege'za kete'za aza zamofo nanekea eme nezmasmi'za, ana mopafinti zafa ragama eri'za e'nazana eme zamaveri nehu'za,
They went to see Moses and Aaron, and all the Israelites gathered there at their camp in Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. They gave a report before everyone and showed them the fruit they had brought back from the country.
27 amanage hu'za Mosesena asmi'naze, Hurantanketa vu'nona mopafina, tamage huno ami rine, tume rinena avite'ne. Hagi anampinti'ma zafa rgama erita e'nonana ama'ne.
This is the report they gave to Moses: “We went and explored the country you sent us to, and it is definitely very productive, as if it was flowing with milk and honey. Just look at some of its fruit!
28 Hianagi ana mopafina hanavenentake vahe manine'za, ranra kuma'zamirera tusinasi vihu hu'naze. Hagi anampina Anaki nezmagehoza mani'nageta zamage'none.
But the people living there are strong, and their towns are big and have defensive walls. We also saw some descendants of Anak there.
29 Ameleki vahera Negev mopafi mani'naze, Hiti vahe'ene, Jebusi vahe'ene, Amori vahe'enena agona mopafi mani'naze. Hagi Kenani vahera hageri ankenane, Jodani timofo ankenarega mani'za evu'naze.
The Amalekites live in the Negev. The Hittites, Jebusites, and the Amorites live in the hill country. The Canaanites live on the sea coast and also beside the Jordan.”
30 Hagi Mosese avuga, Kalepi'a otino amanage hu'ne, Kea tagane'neta antahiho, inazano fore hania zankura ontahita, otinketa marerita ana mopa omeri maneno. Na'ankure tagra hara huzmagatereta mopa erigahune.
Then Caleb asked for quiet as the people stood before Moses and told them, “Let's go and take over the land. We can conquer the country, no doubt about it!”
31 Hianagi mago'a vahe'ma agrane vu'naza vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, tagra ana vahera zamahega osu'none. Na'ankure hanave zamimo'a tagri hanavea agatere'ne!
But the men who had gone with him disagreed. “We can't go and fight these people! They're much stronger than us!”
32 Ana mopa ome afure'za kete'za e'naza vahe'mo'za, koro nehu'za Israeli vahera havige rezmatga hu'za anage hu'naze, anama ome ke'nona mopamo'a aza'o ana mopare umani'simofona aheno nehna hugahie. Hagi ana mika vahe'ma zamage'nona vahera tusinasi vahe mani'naze.
They spread a negative report among the Israelites about the country they had explored. They told people, “The country we explored destroys the people that live there. Plus everyone we saw was really big!
33 Ana mopafinke Nefilim vahera nezmageta, Anaki vahera, Nefilim vahe'mokizmi zamagehezagita, tagrama zamagonana kenu kna tagra hu'none. Hagi zamagrama taga'zana ana zanke hu'none.
We even saw giants there—people descended from Anak the giant! Compared to them we looked like grasshoppers, and we must have looked like that to them too!”
